109. The benefits of networking (1/3 of the first order and more)
The few people who chatted with Tang Guoqiang, Ning Yuan knew all of them.
In addition to Hu Mei, the director of their "Yongzheng Dynasty" crew, there are two other leading actors, Jiao Huang and Wang Huichun.
The latter two are Ning Yuan's contenders for the best supporting role this time.
Of course, in Ning Yuan's own opinion, he is not a threat to others at all, their performances are obvious to all, superb and natural, and they can be used to describe their performance in the play.
In addition to the four of them, Ning Yuan also saw another director, Huo Jianqi.
Although Ning Yuan knows that he has won many awards in the future and is a clear stream among literary and artistic directors, at this time, he and Hu Mei should not be able to talk and laugh, right?
However, this was not what Ning Yuan cared about now, he was curious why Tang Guoqiang called himself.
The only contact between Ning Yuan and Tang Guoqiang was before the awards party of the Beijing Drama Festival, when he was taken by Dean Cao to get acquainted, and the others, that is, several times occasionally met in the theater and nodded in greeting.
Not to mention friendship, it's not even familiar.
Of course, Ning Yuan was familiar with him, and he was definitely not familiar with Ning Yuan.
But Ning Yuan didn't delay, and hurried over after hearing the voice, and said with a smile: "Hello Teacher Tang." ”
Tang Guoqiang was stunned, he didn't expect Ning Yuan to call him with this title, but he didn't care about this, but introduced a few people around him to Ning Yuan.
With Tang Guoqiang's introduction, Hu Mei and the others were also very face-saving, shook hands with Ning Yuan cordially, and encouraged:
"Being so young can compete for the Outstanding Supporting Actor Award with Jiao Huang and Wang Huichun, haha, young and promising. ”
Jiao Huang and the others didn't have too much contempt for Ning Yuan because he was young and acted in Huanzhu, since they could be selected by the jury, even if Ning Yuan filmed a saliva drama like Huanzhu, it could not be ignored.
At this stage, it is not possible to be shortlisted by relationships, those judges have a certain insistence, and they still look at the works.
In addition, they also watched it, Ning Yuan's performance in it is indeed much better than other actors, even from their point of view, it can be regarded as excellent, and it is not unacceptable to be shortlisted with them.
So Jiao Huang also smiled and said: "Then we old guys have to work harder, don't let the young people shoot on the beach." ”
"Teacher Jiao, you are too polite, I still have a lot to learn. Ning Yuan said humbly.
This attitude made them have a good impression of Ning Yuan.
At this time, Tang Guoqiang smiled at Huo Jianqi and said, "Director Huo, what do you think of this kid?"
Ning Yuan was stunned, what do you mean, Huo Jianqi is going to make a film?
Looking for an actor?
Suddenly, Ning Yuan's mind suddenly remembered that Huo Jianqi was indeed going to make a movie this year!
"That Man, That Mountain, That Dog"!
The one starring Teng Rujun and Liu Ye is an unpopular film that reflects the theme of rural postal services.
It was really unpopular - it is said that a copy of the movie was not sold at that time, and in the end, it was still a cabbage price, and it was sold to the CCTV movie channel for 480,000 yuan.
is very miserable, the bottom of the loss is lost, but it does not prevent Teng Rujun from winning two actor trophies in a row with this film, and Liu Ye was also nominated for the Golden Pheasant Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Not only that, the film also won more than ten Best Film Awards, including the Golden Pheasant Award, including the Most Popular Audience Award at the Montreal Film Festival, an international A-category film festival.
If you say, this is the fate of literary films, and it is helpless to applaud it or not, but within a few months, something surprising happened-
This film is on fire in the neon country!
In the end, it received a box office of more than 800 million yen, which directly squeezed out "My Father and Mother", which was the number one box office in China in Neon Country, and was far away.
According to the exchange rate at that time, it was converted into at least 100 million yuan.
And in this year, how many films have exceeded 100 million in Huaxia?
But no matter how much it sells, it has nothing to do with the filmmaker, because the film is packaged and bought out, and the price is ...... $60,000.
Of course, this belongs to the frustration of the investor, there is no loss to the actors and directors, anyway, their remuneration and salary are not a lot, and because of these honors, the gold medal is shining.
But most companies that invest in literary and artistic films actually don't think about making money, mainly awards and honors.
So from this point of view, this film is already very successful, at least it has set an example for future literary films to make money.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuan's heart became hot.
The protagonist of the movie will definitely not be Ning Yuan's turn, if he is still about the same before he is reborn, but he can only play his son at this time.
However, Ning Yuan remembered that Liu Ye was personally selected by the director to Huaju, why did he come here to find someone now?
Could it be that he also came here in his previous life, but he returned in vain, and then he went to Huaju to pick people, and finally chose Liu Ye?
I guess that's the only way to do it.
Since such an opportunity has come, Ning Yuan will not let him slip away, as for Liu Ye, you can rest first, you can't let the fat in your mouth slip away, anyway, you won't have to worry about the lack of films in the future, and you are not because of this popularity.
Sure enough, after hearing Tang Guoqiang's words, Huo Jianqi looked Ning Yuan up and down, and hesitated:
"The age must be in line, and since Ning Yuan can be nominated for Best Supporting Actor, his acting skills are definitely not a problem, this is the image ......"
Ning Yuan was a little speechless in his heart, it turned out that being handsome was also a kind of trouble, and he was really worried.
However, Huo Jianqi's reaction was also expected by Ning Yuan, and he smiled when he heard this:
"Does Director Huo have a new movie, if you haven't found a suitable actor for the time being, you might as well tell me. ”
"Yes, Lao Huo, anyway, you haven't picked it for the time being, and now you have time, you talk to Ning Yuan, if it really doesn't work, we'll help you pay attention to it later." Hu Mei smiled.
Hearing Hu Mei's words and tone, Ning Yuan wondered in his heart, are these two people very familiar?
This thought really made Ning Yuan turn it out in his memory, a news he once saw by chance, the 40th anniversary of the 78-level Beijing Filmmaker's return to school.
Lu Tianming (Zhang Yimou) and Gu Changwei from the Department of Photography, Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Hu Mei from the Department of Directing, and Huo Jianqi and Feng Xiaoning from the Department of Fine Arts...... They are all from Jingying level 78.
I see...... Ning Yuan finally understood.
Huo Jianqi has indeed not risen at this stage, but with these classmates, as long as they are not mediocre, it is only a matter of time before they get up.
Look at Hu Mei, just help choose actors for him, not to mention big names like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, with their resources, good actors are not everything.
That's the benefit of going to college...... Ning Yuan's feelings deepened.
But thinking of this, Ning Yuan found it interesting again, they, the directors of Beijing Film, made movies, but every time they picked people, they were selected from Huaxi, and they didn't know if they didn't pick a suitable one in Beijing Film, or they didn't go at all.
If it's the latter, then the students of the Beijing Film Performance Department are really sad enough, no wonder there are few movies in the Beijing Film Performance Department, and most of them are mixed in TV dramas.
"Shangjing Film doesn't make movies, and it eats all drama films in China. ”
Ning Yuan was thinking wildly, and he thought of a bullshit couplet.
Subsequently, Huo Jianqi took Ning Yuan to the side and told Ning Yuan about this movie that Ning Yuan had also watched several times back then.
