Chapter Ninety-Two: The New Director
…
Yang Zhen lay on the door mirror and saw that it was Zhang Lin and Zhao E, the male and female protagonists of "Heart Labyrinth" invited by Fan Bing.
Yang Zhen hurriedly said to Fan Bing: "It's Teacher Zhang and Teacher Zhao." ”
When Fan Bing heard this, he had a huge headache!
In the Qing palace drama that made Fan Bing popular, Zhang Lin played the emperor in it, and with that wind, it also became popular.
Since then, Zhang Lin has acted in a lot of plays, but most of them are playing the emperor, as if he has become an emperor's professional.
On the bright side, Zhang Lin's performance of the emperor is becoming more and more popular.
On the downside, Zhang Lin seems to be trapped in the emperor.
In the past two years, Zhang Lin has been seeking breakthroughs, so he has taken on a lot of non-emperor plays, such as playing monks, heroes, and even bad guys.
But Zhang Lin is not accepted no matter what he plays, except for playing the emperor.
If an actor is fixed behind a certain role or a certain type of role, it is only for him, which means that he can only stagnate, and the key will be slowly eliminated by the market.
Zhang Lin clearly knows this, so he has been looking for a breakthrough.
It was under this premise that Zhang Lin took the initiative to tell Fan Bing that he wanted to play the challenging role of Xiao Weiguo.
Zhao E met Fan Bing when he was acting in "There is a Saying".
Although Zhao E debuted relatively early, she has also won many awards, and even was nominated for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Best Actress Award, but her fame and status in the entertainment industry are actually very average.
But the problem is that Zhao E's lover is not ordinary, her lover is a national first-class actor, the chairman of the Actors Working Committee of the Television Artists Association, the vice president of the TV Drama Committee of the Radio and Television Association, the vice president of the Film Performing Arts Society, and the absolute top figure in the entertainment industry.
To tell the truth, with the fame and status of Zhang Lin and Zhao E, it is not too much to be the hero and heroine of "Heart Labyrinth", or the hero and heroine of "Heart Labyrinth", or the male and female protagonists with little weight, and even insist on saying that they are selling Fan Bing's face to serve as the hero and heroine of "Heart Labyrinth", which is not too much.
Originally, Fan Bing thought that there would be a very good cooperation between them.
But the result was that because Zhang Lin and Zhao E, especially the former, changed the script without authorization, they brought out a bad atmosphere, and scared away the director Meng Zhu invited by Fan Bing, resulting in, at least triggered, that the crew of "Heart Labyrinth" stopped as soon as it started.
As a senior actor, Fan Bing has actually figured it out, this kind of thing, can't put all the responsibility on the actors, more because the director she is looking for Meng Zhu can't stop the scene, which led to all this happening.
In fact, character deletion and alteration of scripts is a common occurrence during the filming process.
To paraphrase the words of a famous director, senior actors are too mature and easy to be ingenious.
This is not entirely a problem of acting, many times it is because these actors have too big wrists, and the director can't control them, don't dare to guide them, but has to listen to their command.
Jiang Hongfei's original time and space, Jiang Wen's filming of "Looking for a Gun" to set aside Lu Chuan, and Chen Daoming's love to change the script were not news.
Therefore, Zhang Lin and Zhao E changed the script, and the starting point was not necessarily to be a drama bully, but perhaps more to interpret the roles they played.
But in any case, Zhang Lin and Zhao E are indeed one of the reasons for Fan Bing's current situation.
The key is that Fan Bing is really uncertain now, whether Jiang Hongfei will use Zhang Lin and Zhao E as the heroes and heroines of "Heart Labyrinth".
Therefore, seeing Zhang Lin and Zhao E coming, Fan Bing really had a headache!
But a headache is a headache, but Fan Bing can't help but ignore Zhang Lin and Zhao E, two "highly respected" seniors in the circle.
Fan Bing opened the door himself, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be Teacher Zhang and Teacher Zhao, please come in!"
After welcoming Zhang Lin and Zhao E in, Fan Bing immediately poured tea for Zhang Lin and Zhao E.
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Oh, Bingbing, don't be polite to me and Teacher Zhao, let's come over, just say a few words, and leave after speaking." ”
Hearing Zhang Lin say this, Fan Bing also sat down and said, "That's okay, Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhao, you talk first, and then let's have another meal together." ”
Zhang Lin nodded, and then said, "Bingbing, you told me and Teacher Zhao the truth, did you go to the magic capital this time and find the money?"
Fan Bing said with certainty: "I found it, my friend is willing to invest 10 million." ”
(This is just talking, in fact, Jiang Hongfei's budget is only three million, no more than five million at most, and this still includes the money to solve the historical problems of the crew of "Heart Labyrinth", of course, if you insist on saying 10 million, it is not impossible, when it is released in the future, Jiang Hongfei can use some of the money to promote, but if this is the case, then the proportion of Jiang Hongfei's share must also be increased, that is, another part of the distribution money.) )
Hearing Fan Bing say that someone is willing to invest another 10 million to shoot "Heart Labyrinth", Zhang Lin and Zhao E are both happy!
Originally, according to Fan Bing's budget, "Heart Labyrinth" was also a low-budget movie.
But now, Fan Bing has invested six or seven million, plus 10 million, the budget is 20 million less, and it is not a small-cost film, not counting the actor's salary, this investment can be compared with a quasi-blockbuster.
In the context of today's film market, it is not easy to act in a movie with such a high production cost.
What's more, Zhang Lin and Zhao E are still the heroes and heroines.
"Could it be that I can usher in a turning point in my career?" Zhang Lin and Zhao E thought in unison.
Zhang Lin suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "For a movie, the director is too important, he is the commander of the battle, he can't convince the public, how can he win the battle, Xiao Meng is too young, he is still a screenwriter, and he has never directed a movie independently, so he made the crew like this, this time Bingbing you must find an experienced and courageous director." ”
Zhang Lin asked again: "Bingbing, can you tell me and Teacher Zhao about who you are going to invite to direct this movie?"
If it weren't for Zhang Lin's earlier "too young", "screenwriter", and "never directed a movie independently", Fan Bing would have opened his mouth to tell Zhang Lin and Zhao E about Jiang Hongfei's personal information.
But now, Fan Bing is really a little difficult to introduce Jiang Hongfei.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin asked, "What, isn't it convenient to say it now?"
Fan Bing smiled and said, "It's nothing inconvenient, the new director will arrive tomorrow, and the two teachers are not outsiders, how can they know a day in advance?"
Fan Bing organized the language and said: "Actually, he is not an outsider, he is the screenwriter of "Heart Labyrinth" and the investor I found Jiang Hongfei. ”
As soon as he heard that the new director was Jiang Hongfei, Zhang Lin first reacted, and then he was stunned!
After being stunned, Zhang Lin was embarrassed - he knew that he had said too much!
Zhao E hurriedly came back for Zhang Linyuan, and she said: "Although Director Jiang's experience is a little worse, he was able to create the script of "Heart Labyrinth", and he also wrote a storyboard script, which shows that he has eaten "Heart Labyrinth" very thoroughly, and should be the most suitable person to be the director of "Heart Labyrinth". ”
Fan Bing smiled and said, "I thought so too, that's why I asked him to be a partner." ”
After thinking about it, Fan Bing still decided to give Zhang Lin and Zhao E a preventive shot first: "That...... Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhao, there is one thing, I have to tell you in advance, after Hongfei comes, you have to re-screen the crew and actors, you must have a psychological preparation......"
