Chapter 0430: Not Crazy
After Ji Ming officially joined the rehearsal, the progress of "Mo" was like a man who was empty, that was called a fast - especially Fu Chengjie and his new actors, it was like eating a perfect tonic pill, and what they learned from the vocal and dance teachers could be transformed into their own abilities almost immediately in the rehearsal, and even the teachers invited by the crew to them were shocked.
The power of idols?
Because I rehearsed with Ji Ming, and then I had to perform together, everyone was stimulated and exploded.
Tong Xinyu also visibly found that the level of the entire team was constantly improving, and the progress was swishing forward - he actually had some worries before, because "Mo" It is an atypical musical, too professional in dance, too bad with ordinary musicals, he has no experience, and there are not even many cases in the entire history of musicals, he feels that Ji Ming's schedule is too optimistic, but after all, he is the main controller, the boss, and the leading actor, as a director who has been crushed in all aspects, he thinks it is more appropriate to wait until the progress is lagging behind, and then to mention it to Ji Ming.
But at this moment, he already knew that Ji Ming was right.
Then Director Tong's heart spontaneously gave rise to a sense of heartiness, doing musicals in China, there are really few times when there is such a pleasure - I am afraid that no box office is an eternal problem, and it is common for the quality of actors to not keep up, music, screenwriting, dance shapes, everything may come out and drag it back. After all, as an art category raised by a little lady, you have to endure the treatment of this concubine.
Now, the concubine has not changed, but the child who was born seems to be a great genius, the kind who can be admitted to the champion, become the prime minister, and earn the life of his own mother.
Tut.
The atmosphere of the crew is better.
After the rehearsal on this day, Tong Xinyu clapped his palms and croaked: "The performance is very good, everyone has worked hard, go back and have a good rest, continue tomorrow, victory is ahead." β
It's like another MLM.
The first one is, of course, Ji Ming, but Ji Ming is now in a high realm, usually with just his eyes and words, he can make these little young little little hearts up and down, ah, am I not performing well? I have been praised? What does that mean, satisfied or dissatisfied-ah, I have to work harder!!
Fu Chengjie returned to the house and threw himself on the sofa, this house was rented by the crew, unknown actors are just to save money, he and Lian Haiyang are two important actors, sharing a two-bedroom and a living room, 4,500 yuan per month.
"What's wrong?" Lian Haiyang looked at him with a smile on his face: "Tired?"
"I'm not tired, how can I be tired, I can see my progress every day. Fu Chengjie replied with a smile on his face.
Lian Haiyang's smile paused, and it became even brighter: "Yes, when I sang it today, I felt that what I sang yesterday was all shit, this feeling is quite complicated, huh?"
"Hehe, hehe, it's a little, but it shows that we have made great progress. Fu Chengjie's smile gradually stiffened.
The two smirking boys then went back to their rooms, and put away their smilesβtoo tired, and too tired to speak. Every day when he enters the crew, Director Tong cheers as if he doesn't want money, obviously the price of oil has risen again, and then there are the envious eyes of the dancers and chorus actors, the kind of eyes that are sure that you want to succeed, as if there is gold under his feet, and then there is Teacher Ji, like a ghost.
Really, except for ghosts, who can do that level, even if they are like Yang Ming, fantasizing about a world, it is impossible to believe that they can do that level - you can close your eyes and listen to the first song of Teacher Ji, you can listen to this story to the end, all the plots, emotions, ups and downs, in simple terms, and trickling into your understanding. Or you can plug your ears, starting from Mr. Ji's first dance, your heart will follow his movements, resonate at the same frequency, and perceive how a person like Yang Ming can go from ignorance to surprise, from surprise to hope, from hope to doubt, from doubt to panic, from panic to despair, and finally from despair to bloom a bright dance of life...... It came to an abrupt end.
And when he doesn't close his eyes or plug his ears, the ghost appears.
Sometimes, Fu Chengjie even emotionally suspects that human beings have both hearing and vision, perhaps just to watch Ji Ming's performance - thrilling and magical.
Ah!!This rainbow fart is fresh and refined, I can talk to Mr. Ji tomorrow.
So he and his colleagues, a group of ordinary people, after Director Tong's violent encouragement, full of golden fantasies, and then witnessed this kind of stage legend in front of him step by step - what reason not to squeeze himself dry?
However, it's really not easy.
Every day I live and I'm dying, I played some shit yesterday, I'm dead, forget it, I played it really well today, but I know that tomorrow it's going to be shit, ah, I'm really going to die...... Forget it, go to sleep, why are you still tormented over and over again in your dreams.
Fu Chengjie finally found a guiding light to help - Hu Yan, a famous teacher of his alma mater Northern Dance.
After listening to this, Mr. Hu was silent for a while: "If you get through it, you will become it, and if you can't get through it, you will admit it, or change your career." β
β...... Huh?"
"I didn't expect you to face this problem so soon, it can be seen that your crew is really your chance, but it may come too early. Dance, in fact, also includes other art categories, there is always a stage, that is, you find yourself making rapid progress, and this progress is often achieved through the double intense squeeze of the body and soul, that is, one word, there is no other way- If you get through it, you will find that you have reached a new realm, and if you can't get through it, you have to learn to accept your mediocrity, it's all the same, Cheng Jie, if you think about the brothers and sisters in Beipiao, it's Hu Yang, it's Tang Poetry, you can't remember your name, you go back to your hometown to start a dance class, go to school to be a teacher, or completely change your career, right? β
Fu Chengjie lay on his back on the floor, did not force himself to fall asleep quickly, but kept asking himself, do you want to succeed, do you want to act all the time, do you want to be known, do you want to endure hardship?
Under Ji Ming's hard work, many actors, including the behind-the-scenes members of the composer, are experiencing a similar rebirth - not everyone can hold on, crying to find the head director, or directly to Tong Xinyu and Zhang Jie, there are, teacher, I'm sorry, I can't stand it, I'm depressed, I'm going crazy, I can't continue.
All right.
But fortunately, Fu Chengjie, Lian Haiyang, Li Yin, Wang Rourou...... This group of main actors who were carefully selected withstood it.
By the time Ji Ming took the behind-the-scenes team to London, they had even begun to complete the transformation, and their temperament was more calm, on the stage, Ji Ming could clearly feel more stable, it was the kind of person who figured it out and had its own roots, standing there singing, dancing, acting, all benefiting from this psychological support, and the temperament of the whole musical changed.
It was also after he saw this change that he decided to take people to the West District, and now give them a little relaxation, which will not lead to regression, but will give them space to think and further precipitate - after coming back, Ji Ming believes that they will not only be more stable, but also be able to extract more expressiveness, a freer body, and a more relaxed voice from this stability.
......
"Second Thursday of December?"
"Yes. Mr. Song nodded: "We thought about it, or don't go to join the excitement of the Spring Festival stalls, at this point, "Lyceum Theater" is not as good as us, and they don't seem to have decided on a publicity strategy yet, and there are still some internal differences. β
Ji Ming glanced at Mr. Song with a smile: "You are quite well-informed." β
"There's no way, your big boss doesn't move, I have to look around," Mr. Song is quite resentful, Ji Ming, as the owner of half of the rights and interests of "Mo", is really not very concerned, although it is said that Beijing Culture is the propaganda party, but with Ji Ming's full cooperation, it is estimated that he is not afraid of the heat.
Ji Ming didn't listen to his complaints, just looking at the final file, which also showed that they were finally willing to recognize the reality, if it wasn't the size of the Spring Festival file, it wouldn't be unrealistic.
"Two months, two and a half months, how much work do you arrange for me?"
"I can still tie you up. β
β...... Don't speak in this tone," Ji Ming snorted, this resentment was about to break through the sky: "I have goosebumps." β
Mr. Song really had no choice, and calmed down the surging "anger": "Anyway, I'll just contact Mr. Yang, if you can come, try to cooperate, if you can't come, we also have a plan." But can the musical of "Silence" catch up with this?"
Ji Ming adjusted his sitting posture, looked at Mr. Song, his eyes lit up, and he felt a little uplifting: "What? Are you going to help me promote the musical?" I said in advance, I don't have any money, I don't give money, day workers, yes, you have this awareness, right?"
What a man.
"Then you don't need to advertise?"
"No," Ji Ming blinked: "For a musical, my name is enough, and additional publicity is redundant, think about it, the publicity channels of musicals are nothing more than a few websites, the inherent channels of the theater, the ticketing network, plus word of mouth - is my name enough?"
The drama in which Ji Ming participated comes with top-level traffic, needless to say on the Internet, if you are a theater, the Oriental Theater in the Cultural Square itself is an investor, so you have to work hard?
Mr. Song was silent and exhaled heavily.
"My heart doesn't feel good. β
"Drink plenty of hot water. β
"......" Mr. Song glanced at Yang Ruyi, who really couldn't hold back his laughter, forget it, and relieved himself: "Yes, I admit it, even if I give you a day job, okay? As long as you can perform before December, at least it can be staged in Beijing and Shanghai, I won't charge you money, help you shop materials, advertise, it's done?"
Ji Ming raised his eyebrows: "Don't say it, I really want to take a big advantage, even if I have a publicity budget, I will save hundreds of thousands - besides, there are hundreds of people in a theater, and no matter how many people can't sit down." β
Calm down, calm down!
Ji Ming and Yang Ruyi glanced at each other, and they couldn't stimulate Mr. Song anymore.
"Oh, but I'm still very grateful, the entertainment industry is so impatient and righteous in the entertainment industry, so that it can be so humane, it's too rare, it's not easy, a clear stream in Vanity Fair, Mr. Song, you are this. β
What a handsome thumbs.
Oh no, what a timely rain worthy of admiration, the heir of Song Jiang, Song Ge.
Quack, quack, quack.
......
Before going to London, Ji Ming had a MIng Ming brand activity, thanks to the increase in the product line, its first brand concept store in Beijing was about to open, as a co-owner, Ji Ming must not be absent.
It happened to be the opening of the National Day, and it was a good heat.
Because the new shoes are very national tide - called "Guotai Min'an", the elements used come from the outline of Mount Tai, as well as the inscription, texture and shape of the stepmother Wu Dafangding. It is so suitable to put it on the National Day, Ji Ming has to give a thumbs up to Li Ning's staff.
Holiday customization.
The opening ceremony of the store did not have the traditional ribbon-cutting, but a three-on-three half-court match, and invited several retired national players. Wearing different series of MIng shoes is also very cool, which is equivalent to letting the little brothers and sisters in line, and of course, the shoe fried parties, watch a shoe show.
In order to celebrate the opening of the store, all series on the scene today have released shoes, plus you can also have the opportunity to take photos with Ji Ming and sign on the shoebox - in order to sell shoes, Ji Ming is also very hard. So the queue is very long, especially mixed with a large number of Ji Ming fans, and they really want to buy shoes with their noses.
When the number was released, Ji Ming was also surrounded by a large number of reporters, this was the first time he publicly faced the media after he won the Venice actor - he was basically not interviewed at the "GQ" event, and the one-eyed wave's car interview was not counted, because there was no shock, oh no, because the interview was not so much after, but still in the process of awards. But it can still be said that the reporter of the interview smiled crookedly, and he didn't expect that for more than 20 days, other media failed to interview Ji Ming.
This turtle breath magic skill is also becoming more and more exquisite.
"This microphone is a bit weighty. Ji Ming actually only took a part, and there were two reporters below to help, but it was still too heavy, and the reporter obviously felt that it was too heavy, the cluster of microphones was shaking, Ji Ming took a look: "Then let's make a long story short, don't look back and break it." β
"No, no, no. The reporter with the microphone below shook his head violently: "Talk more." β
"Haha, okay, yes, it's really dedicated. β
"When you won the Cannes Special Performance Award, there were some doubts, and then very soon, a little more than a year later, you won the Venice Best Actor, do you feel like a slap in the face?
It's so straightforward.
"It's not a slap in the face, because at that time, it's really not convincing enough, right? And after getting the affirmation of Venice, in fact, when you look back at it, you will feel that it is a unique honor, right? As for the feeling of winning the actor, I feel a little relieved, because there are really many people looking forward to it, even more than myself, I feel that if I don't take it, there may be many people who will be disappointed, and I feel very happy to not disappoint them. β
can speak, I'm not happy because I'm happy to win the actor, I'm happy because fans, relatives and friends are not disappointed - look at this style, it's really the ninth layer of turtle breath magic skills, and the skills are profound.
"Can you ask about the new movie? Or have you been doing musicals? Do you have any news to tell you about the musical "Silence"? β
"There are no new movies for the time being, but if you are looking at the script, you know that means that you will not be in the group this year. The musical has been rehearsing, and I'll meet you next month, and then there's news, there's a news, I don't know if you're interested, that is, "Silence" will be rehearsed in English in London's West End. β
There was a small exclamation.
Although musicals are not academic, many reporters still know the two holy places of the West End and Broadway - so, this is going to the West End?
"Are you the star?"
"Yes. β
Ah~~ The new movie is really far away, two versions of the musical, rehearsals, premieres, tours...... Let's get it in the middle of next year.
Yes, come back.
"Before, media such as People's X Daily, Guangming X Daily, China News Daily and other media have written articles commenting on the news that you won the award, and also said that young actors have such a role model as you, and they should have a more certain path and goal than their predecessors, I hope they can 'follow the map', what do you think?"
Ji Ming sighed, but he didn't guess that there was still this question: "Hey~ I don't know if I have something worth learning, this may be a matter of opinion, but I think the way of acting is different, but the attitude towards performance, maybe everyone can be more sincere, including myself." β
The reporters were all absent for a long time, the questions were crackling, and they didn't pause at all, and halfway through, Zhang Chen handed Ji Ming a bottle of water.
However, Ji Ming also revisited the follow-up of his award from everyone's questions.
On the one hand, the comments and affirmations of the mainstream media such as the People's X newspaper, there are also those outside the mainstream:
said that he is "the best wonderful flower that combines art and commerce since the birth of Chinese films" - you are wonderful.
said that he is "the mainstay of the pan-entertainment crisis of the whole society" - it is dangerous to hear it, and it will collapse in minutes.
A well-known director said, "Today's actors are playing too much, too few good ones, you have to learn from Ji Ming, whether it is art or business, you would rather act less, you have to take the lead." This Ji Ming doesn't agree with it, after all, not everyone has koi, and most actors have to rely on piles to improve.
The rest are netizens, netizens said, "Ji Ming is the first in 3,000 years", "Xiao Ji Feidao, there is no false hair", "Dugu seeks defeat, self-imprisonment peak", "You should retreat bravely in the rapids and save your name", "You should raise your arms and start a war against unhealthy trends"...... Ji Ming is also in a cold sweat, if he hadn't hid from the film and television industry, it is estimated that countless missions would have to be pressed, some are easy to refuse, some are not necessarily, thinking about how much time he wants to waste on those ushering in and sending them to and coordinating in the center, it is a headache.
"Ji Ming, can you tell me about the new shoes that were sent today, and what is your understanding of sneakers, do you have any definitions and ideas for the brand?"
Ji Ming was stirred by this clear stream, and suddenly sobered up a lot, and saw a little girl at a glance, not like a sneaker lover: "You are asking in place, and you plan to help me publicize it?"
Apparently yes, what a sensible journalist friend.
may have been patronized by Ji Ming, and the little man suddenly saw the opportunity and added a question: "Recently, some famous actresses said that there was no drama to play, and then some actors also said that they had not filmed for several months, do you think this is a recession in the industry, or is the industry unhealthy? Do you feel this way yourself? β
"I'm not expensive, I'm cheap, please help me talk to the major directors, I can also bring money into the group, there are few good things, and the degree of cooperation is high, please consider me more, after all, I'm just a newcomer who has been in the industry for three years, please everyone." β
Hahaha.
It is better to believe in a man's mouth than to believe that there are ghosts in the world.
