Chapter 39: Yan Yileng's Invitation
Hong Chen's acting skills convinced Zhang Hai.
At first, when Zhang Hai wanted to shoot this drama, in his heart, he didn't know the exact image of Li Bai.
So he hired Duanmu Hong, a master of Chinese studies, to be the consultant of the crew. Duanmuhong studied Li Bai very much, and he spoke of the Tao, which benefited Zhang Hai a lot.
Zhang Hai had a prototype of Li Bai in his heart.
But his understanding of Li Bai's demeanor and Li Bai's feelings is still very vague.
In other words, when it came time to actually shoot, he couldn't tell the actors what he wanted.
The director doesn't know what to shoot, and it's definitely a huge problem for the actors.
But fortunately, Hong Chen's performance was perfect.
His demeanor and movements are the living Li Bai.
Zhang Hai was very happy and called on the crew to continue filming. This scene of Bliss Feast is planned to be filmed for one night, and there are many scenes of many people behind.
This movie is nominally filmed about Li Bai, but in fact it is filmed in the scene of the Tang Dynasty turning from prosperity to decline, and Li Bai is just a perspective.
Of course, he is the most important perspective, and he represents the prosperity of Datang.
The Feast of Bliss continues to film, but Hong Chen's role in it has ended, and he can go back to rest.
Hong Chen stayed for a while, and it was also a special taste to watch others act outside the crew. Especially the scene of Tang Xuanzong and An Lushan dancing against each other is even grander.
Both of them are drama bones, their acting skills are excellent, and the tension is particularly clear.
"Hong Chen, are you busy?" At this moment, Yan Yileng came to Hong Chen's side and said softly.
There is also a scene behind Yan Yileng, so she maintains Yang Guifei's dress at the moment. However, because of the cold weather, she was still wrapped in a green military coat.
Rao is so, and her makeup is also eye-catching.
After all, it is a national lover.
"I'm not busy, my role is over, now look at Wang Luyi's acting skills and learn from experience. Hong Chen replied.
"It's really good, no wonder it's so good. Yan Yileng complimented, and there was a special flavor in his mischievous smile.
Then, Yan Yileng said again: "By the way, I have something to do with you." ”
"You say. Hong Chen said calmly.
"I have a new script here, it's a romance film, and there is a lack of a male lead, are you interested?"
"Huh?" Yan Yileng's words surprised Hong Chen a little.
Listening to Yan Yileng's meaning, she should also star in this movie, with her coffee position, it shows that the investment and market of this movie will not be too bad.
Such a script, there is a lack of male protagonists?
You must know that the actor has always been robbed, and I have never heard of a lack of it.
"Male protagonist?" Hong Chen's expression was a little stunned.
Yan Yileng smiled a little embarrassedly, and said again: "That's the case, I have a brother named Yan Chi, who just graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, majoring in directing, and he has been planning for half a year and wants to make a movie." ”
"Of course I'm the female protagonist, but because my brother is not famous yet, the male protagonist is temporarily vacant. ”
"Don't worry, although your salary can't be compared to here, it won't be too low. And the shooting plan takes a month and a half, which won't take up too much of your schedule. ”
Yan Yileng explained again.
When she said about the University of California, Los Angeles, a hint of surprise welled up in Hong Chen's eyes.
For no other reason, the school's directing program is almost the top in the world, and the admission requirements are extremely high.
Francesco Copola, the great director who made the Godfather series, graduated from this school.
Since Yan Yileng's brother can graduate from here, it shows that he has a certain strength.
"Can I read the script first? I'll give you an answer after reading it, don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. Hong Chen thought about it and said seriously.
"Okay, thank you. ”
That night, Yan Yileng's assistant brought the script over.
Hong Chen, Ge Chen, and Wang Shaoqi all read the script once.
The script is called "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", which tells a love story that happened in the youth of school.
To Hong Chen's surprise, this script turned out to be extraordinarily attractive!
At first, Yan Yileng said that this was a love film, and he thought it was the kind of love story that broke up and reunited.
Coupled with the love of his student days, he estimated that it would inevitably be similar to abortion, tearing, or a vulgar plot where one party wants to study abroad, and then his parents let the other party take the initiative to break up.
But no, this is a very youthful romance film!
Using his skills in script understanding, he searched for related movies in parallel worlds.
He took a brief look and found that this movie is very good!
"Ge Chen, what do you think?" Hong Chen put down the script and wanted to hear Ge Chen's opinion.
"The script is a good script, but the director is a newcomer, and the investor is not clear, so there is a lot of risk. Ge Chen pondered for a moment and said.
Ge Chen is right, rookie directors have a very big drawback, that is, the lack of connections.
In addition to attracting investment, the publicity work after the film is filmed, as well as the contact work with the cinema, all need contacts.
"I think it's an opportunity. Wang Shaoqi, the work assistant, lifted his glasses and said, "A small investment may not be able to have a big box office, and this director is Yan Yileng's brother, and the Yan family still has some strength in the Kyoto circle." ”
"Yan family?" This was the first time Hong Chen heard Yan Yileng's background, and he was a little curious.
"Well, Yan Yileng's father has a position in ****, and the radio and television management audits, so many big directors have scolded her. And her mother is a rich second generation, and now she is the president of the boss company, and the family is very rich, and it should be at the level of billions. Ge Chen explained.
Hong Chen couldn't imagine that Yan Yileng's relationship was so big.
No wonder there have been no scandals since the child star became popular all the way.
In this way, Yan Chi can also be regarded as a connection. Hong Chen said, "This script is very good, and the problem of connections has been solved, as for investment, the investment in romance films is not large, and if the investment is not enough, I even want to invest some." ”
Hong Chen's decision made Ge Chen a little surprised.
"Do you want to invest?" said Ge Chen.
According to his contract, the money invested by the artist is not under the management of the company, so Ge Chen was surprised.
"Well, it depends on the situation, you first contact the director, and if you are sure that there is no problem, you can even reduce the salary and change it to a commission. Hong Chen said again.
"Okay, no problem. Ge Chen nodded.
Hong Chen's behavior is a bit risky, and the possibility of a romance film made by a rookie director hitting the street is very high.
However, in the film industry, vision is also very important.
Sometimes a blockbuster is all it takes is adventure.
On the other side, director Li Mushan snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, his face full of sadness.
"What does she mean when she says she doesn't shoot, she forgot who can achieve today's achievements with one hand!" Li Mushan scolded.
Just now, Li Feifei called him and told him that she would stop filming this web drama, and all expenses would be compensated according to the price.
Of course, when Li Feifei signed the contract, Li Feifei's salary was not much, so the compensation fee was not too high.
But this is a big blow to Li Mushan.
Li Feifei doesn't shoot, which means that all the previous efforts are in vain!
Compensation is just a drop in the bucket.
"Fei Fei, can I give you a raise, you can come back and shoot, it can also make you more popular, right?" Li Mushan held back his anger and said as if flattering.
Li Feifei, who had already found a backer, would take care of him, and hung up the phone directly.
Now there is a new drama in front of her, she plays the second female lead, this drama is different from Li Mushan's online drama, it is a real big investment.
And Li Feifei is the second female candidate designated by a boss among the investors.
Li Feifei, this time there is really a trend of becoming popular!
