Chapter 288: The Old Actor Wants to Be a Hollywood Capitalist?
"yes!"
Not only Liu Qinshan, but Tang Xiulan, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but sigh.
She couldn't know Yu Chenghao's situation best.
Although he is a singer and a king-level singer, he has no previous experience in opera and performance.
After two and a half months of training by Lin Bao, coupled with the recent official start of filming, following Lin Bao every day to learn some performance content, Yu Chenghao's progress, and now the official performance of filming, is surprising to everyone.
In more than two months, from having no experience, to now, this kind of situation that even some opera actors and veteran actors can't reach is absolutely unimaginable.
In particular, the "Farewell My Concubine" section that is now being performed on stage was taught by Lin Bao to Yu Chenghao to imitate the practice when he was training.
Generally speaking, an imitator can imitate the form, but the meaning cannot be imitated.
And Lin Bao's shooting in this section is also prepared to use medium and long-range lenses to shoot.
However, when he really went on stage today, as soon as he put on makeup, put on costumes, and opened his voice on stage, Yu Chenghao seemed to be like what Liu Qinshan said, Mei Shi was reincarnated, that smile, every move, even Tang Xiulan, opera veterans like Liu Tanshan and even everyone, they all felt amazed when they saw it.
Therefore, at the scene, Lin Bao also discussed with Yin Chuan, used a close-up shot, and even gave a close-up of his face.
Looking at the expression on Yu Chenghao's face that kept getting closer, Lin Bao himself couldn't help but admire: "Senior Cheng Hao may be born suitable for such a role!"
He personally taught Yu Chenghao a class of expressionism, and the latter was able to progress so quickly, so he naturally still had his own talent. Lin Bao himself hadn't thought of this before.
"Sing and act!"
Tang Xiulan said.
Lin Bao nodded.
"Good!"
With the last sentence of King Chu "how frightened", the audience burst into warm applause.
The main and auxiliary positions were recorded at the same time as Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou on the stage, as well as the performance of Yuan Siye on the stage.
Click!
With Lin Bao's stop, whether it was the main actors on the stage or the group performance off the stage, they were all relieved.
"Ok, that's very good, that's all for this morning's scene! Everyone has worked hard! Go eat, take a break, and work hard in the afternoon!"
Lin Bao said with a smile to the actors and crew members who were watching him.
"Okay—"
"Thank you, Director Lin!"
"Keep it up!"
The set suddenly became noisy, and everyone began to move freely.
Lin Bao is also preparing to go to dinner with the main actors of the crew and the two teachers of the Opera Association.
However, before turning around, he suddenly set his eyes on the stage.
I saw that as everyone began to get off the field, Yu Chenghao, who was wearing a Yu Ji suit, was still standing there and did not move.
He looked at the audience, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.
"Teacher Cheng Hao, you have changed your clothes. ”
The voice of the crew came from the side, and Yu Chenghao suddenly woke up, nodding slightly, with an apologetic smile on his face, and then followed the crew members to the backstage with lotus steps.
The line of the play seems to have not gotten rid of the character temperament in those plays.
"Director Lin?"
The voice of Assistant Director Feng came from the side.
Only then did Lin Bao retract his gaze and walk out with a few other people: "Teacher Feng, when it is noon, I will go to meet a few friends." The filming arrangement in the afternoon will be arranged by you and the other teachers of the crew. ”
"No problem!"
Deputy Director Feng said with a smile.
Lin Bao nodded, walked out of the theater of this film and television city with everyone, and then drove his car all the way to a big hotel in Jincheng.
"Hello sir!"
"Hello, I have an appointment, room 402. ”
"Okay, please come with me!"
Lin Bao followed the hotel waiter all the way to room 402.
Push the door in.
There were four people sitting inside.
Two of them are Zheng Rong or her assistants.
The other two are foreigners.
However, if domestic audiences who like to watch movies see those two faces, they will definitely not be unfamiliar with them.
Although one is in his thirties, he is still handsome.
One is already in his sixties and is still a little rich, but he can still see the charitable and confident face that stood on the Oscar stage twice and won the actor Xiaojinren.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, two iconic Hollywood actors, old and new.
Although Leonardo has been running for more than ten years now, he still hasn't won the little golden man, but now his influence in Hollywood is no worse at all.
Tom Hanks, an old-school Hollywood actor, has twice won the title of actor and little golden man, in recent years, he has been a little out of film, but he is still active in Hollywood, opened an actor studio, and is very famous in the whole world.
Normally, any of these two would be the first to be reported by the media when they appeared in a public place or came to the Orient.
Not to mention, two people at the same time.
And now, the two Hollywood superstars, old and new, are both appearing in this humble hotel in Jincheng at the same time.
Even Zheng Rong, who usually speaks the same thing in China, chats with them with a smile.
"Mr. Leonardo, Mr. Tom Hanks, you two have been waiting for a long time!"
Lin Bao walked in and greeted him in English with a smile.
"This is Mr. Lin Bao!"
Both Leonardo and Tom Hanks looked up at him.
Although I have seen a photo of Lin Bao on the Internet before.
But in reality, both of them were a little surprised to see this godfather-level musician from the East and the author who wrote a god-level performance theory book.
Too young!
Twenty-five years old!
Even a few years younger than Leonardo!
"Yes, it's me. ”
Lin Bao looked at them with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Lin Bao!"
Leonardo also got up and shook hands with Lin Bao.
"I'm really sorry to keep the two teachers waiting. ”
Lin Bao shook hands with him and Tom Hanks one by one, "Originally, I told Aunt Rong that I met the two teachers in the magic capital, who would have thought, I was a little lazy, and I actually let the two teachers come over in person!"
"Teacher Lin Bao, you are serious!"
Tom Hanks said, "This time, it was me and Xiaolai who came to talk to you about publishing a new book, so naturally we came to ask you, Mr. Lin Bao." ”
"Don't, Mr. Hanks, you are all seniors, just call me Lin Bao. Anyway, this time, it's a little slacking on our side. ”
Lin Bao looked at Zheng Rong next to him.
Zheng Rong also said fluently in English: "Yes, I didn't expect that the two teachers would come so quickly, and after getting the news that Lin Bao was in Jincheng, they came over directly." Otherwise, I would definitely ask for two teachers in the magic capital. ”
"Don't be so polite!"
Tom Hanks said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
A few people sat down and exchanged polite words, and then Tom Hanks and Leonardo began to talk about the purpose of this time.
"Actually, this time Xiao Lai happened to come to the East to do some publicity activities, and I also came along, mainly to talk to Mr. Lin Bao, the two of them, about the new book "The Self-cultivation of Actors". ”
Tom Hanks said, looking at Leonardo next to him, "First of all, I'm here to say sorry. Because neither of us is very good at Chinese, the book "Actor's Self-cultivation" is inconvenient for us, so we privately asked someone to help translate the book into English. ”
As he spoke, Leonardo also took out something wrapped in plastic leather from the schoolbag behind him, opened it, and inside it was a thick stack of A4 paper.
"It's ...... What is my book translated into English?"
Lin Bao looked at the thick stack and was also a little surprised.
"Not bad. ”
Leonardo said a little embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Lin Bao, I found someone to translate this book without your consent." Actually, at the University of Southern California, a student from your East recommended this book to me, and I found it so wonderful, so I asked someone to translate it for me. However, Mr. Lin Bao, don't worry, only this one has been translated, and only me, Mr. Tom, and my assistant have seen him, and they have not passed it on to others. Now, they are all here, and I will leave them to you, teacher!, but I still want to say sorry, this incident itself violates your personal rights, and I hope you can forgive me!"
"Don't don't, Mr. Leonardo, it's not that serious. ”
Lin Bao smiled.
Although he didn't expect that Leonardo would find someone to translate his book directly into English and read it himself, he didn't care too much. This book was originally intended for people who like to perform.
"What about this manuscript?"
Leonardo looked at him.
"Although, I shouldn't have snatched love from the sword...... However, I think that this translation, which was given to me by Mr. Leonardo, and is also the first English manuscript of this book I have written, is still very memorable. So, I want to keep it as a collection, I don't know if Leonardo wants to do it. ”
Lin Bao said, "Of course, I don't mean anything else. Purely because it makes sense, I want to keep it. If Leonardo is interested in the content of the book, no, we will talk about the English publication of the book right away!"
"Haha, of course it's fine!"
Leonardo said with a smile, "To be honest, because this one is translated by a non-professional translation teacher, there are a lot of professional words in it, as well as content, and I feel that there is a big problem with the translation." Therefore, I still want to ask Mr. Lin Bao for advice in person. ”
"No problem. ”
Lin Bao nodded.
"First of all, let's talk to Mr. Lin Bao about the specific cooperation content of the English version. ”
Tom Hanks said, then looked at Zheng Rong next to him, and then looked at Lin Bao and said, "This time, the cooperative publishing house on our side is actually Hill Publishing Company, which I have invested and cooperated with. Don't worry, Mr. Lin Bao, although publishing in the West is more complicated than in the East, Hill Publishing Company is one of the top five comprehensive publishing houses in the United States, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of operation. In addition, in terms of royalties, according to the standard 16%, however, I am in charge here, I can help you mention 17%, this matter, Teacher Zheng Rong has also understood before. I also brought the contract over, and she was looking at it just now. ”
Zheng Rong, who was listening next to her, also picked up the contract spread out in front of her, handed it to Lin Bao, and nodded slightly.
Lin Bao opened it and took a general look, it was Hill Publishing Company's own professional publishing contract on their side.
This Hill Publishing Company, Lin Bao has also heard of it. Two months ago, Zheng Rong talked to him about the idea of publishing this book abroad, and also investigated some publishing houses in the United States in advance, including Hill Publishing Company.
And, though, business cooperation in Hollywood is very dark.
But since Tom Hanks is here to protect his character, it is naturally not much of a problem.
In terms of royalty sharing, 17% is also a very good share. Although it is certainly worse than those top best-selling authors, Lin Bao doesn't care about these things.
It is definitely better to find a reliable publishing company and have a reliable middleman than to have a few more percentages.
"Okay, there's no problem on my side! Aunt Rong, you can just talk to Mr. Tom Hanks and Hill Publishing. ”
Lin Bao or, put together the contract documents, and handed them over.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin Bao. Your book, whether it is for the publishing house itself, or for the entire United States, and even the global film and television industry, film and television academy, is a very important book. The Hill Publishing Company will definitely do its best to publish this book! If they have problems, I'll go to them myself!"
Tom Hanks smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm one of the directors of their company." ”
"Haha, with Mr. Tom Hanks here, I am naturally very relieved!"
Lin Bao said busily.
Next to them, Zheng Rong and Leonardo were also smiling.
"In addition,"
Tom Hanker paused, and then said, "Regarding another book by Mr. Lin Bao, I wonder if you have any ideas for publishing and cooperating?"
"Another book?"
Lin Bao was stunned.
"It's the book you're writing, it's called A Song of Ice and Fire, that book. ”
Tom Hanks looked at him.
"Uh......"
Lin Bao couldn't laugh or cry, "That book has just begun to be written, and now, it is less than 50,000 words......"
"It's a small number of words, but I've had someone read the book before. Mr. Lin Bao, your book is actually the background of the West, and it is in the same direction as the fantasies of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit". Whether it is the worldview structure or the story, it is very strong! If it is published simultaneously in the West, it will definitely be a hit! Moreover, just like the "Lord of the Rings" movie, it is also a very powerful IP!"
Tom Hanks said.
Looking at the old actor in front of him, as if he was an old actor who had become a Hollywood businessman, Lin Bao couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
How is this ...... I feel that after the old actor stopped filming, he not only ran an actor class, but also embarked on the path of a "black-hearted" Hollywood capitalist?
