Chapter 0434 - The Theater Owner Next Door Who Started Mocking
Ji Ming intentionally decided to take over the next two new endorsements.
However, the contract still needs to be discussed in detail, and there are many obligations and rights, including some new circumstances, if Porsche dies unexpectedly, Ji Ming must retain the right to end the cooperation and even seek compensation. As for Huawei, this company has never invited a brand spokesperson before, only some of its mobile phone lines will invite spokespersons, and most of them are popular stars and bring goods. The most typical is Yi Qian's nova, which also made great contributions to the market opening of this new series.
Globally, Warwick has invited a number of international brands such as Wonder Woman Gal Gadot, Superman Henry Cavill, Scarlett Johansson, among which Bayern Munich's star Lewandowski has endorsed the entire Warwick terminal series.
When he first came into contact, Ji Ming thought that the other party might let him endorse the P or M series, after all, in China, these two flagship series have not yet found someone to endorse. But after contact, the intention expressed by the other party is actually the brand spokesperson, and the scope is much broader, because in addition to the exact product promotion, there are actually many simple brand promotion work, such as some advertisements and advertising films, which do not point to a specific product, but to promote the entire brand image and popularity.
Obviously, Huawei thinks that he needs such a spokesperson, at the moment.
The specific work is still Yang Ruyi and they do, Ji Ming only needs to measure and decide - in fact, it is becoming more and more risky to receive endorsements now, the fan circle culture has spread to all walks of life, and the fan circle culture of the machine circle is no weaker than the entertainment industry, different brands, domestic imports, when they quarrel, they can quarrel all the way from the screen quality to the instruction set of the CPU architecture, the ghost knows how complex the instruction set is, and a few people know what the instruction set is.
Overseas brands, I don't know when they will get nervous, if something really happens, it's a chicken feather.
Ji Ming is very special, he is not exposed to the five poisons in the morning, if he really encounters those situations that need to be dissolved, he will definitely be magnified, of course, with his current foundation, there is no need to worry about it, small winds and waves can't blow down.
But the team still needs to tighten the string in their heads.
......
Ji Ming went to London for the second time, and only brought Zhang Chen and another assistant, who had studied in London and could handle some daily affairs.
This time, he is mainly an actor, he goes to rehearsals every day, and occasionally goes to other theaters in the West End to see the works, some popular classics are certainly worth watching, and many experimental works in small theaters actually help him know what is popular in the West End and why.
"Did you watch any drama yesterday?"
"A Dog Killed Himself. ”
"......" Kayla blinked, "What?"
"When it comes to climate, we dogify the plutocrats and politicians who don't want to push for a climate deal, and then do a lot of destructive things and end up killing themselves. Ji Ming also felt very unbelievable, in the small theater outside the core area, there would really be a lot of such stage plays that kept pace with the times, the production cost and cycle were very short, the actors could even be amateurs, and they would not perform for a long time, and the theater charged a fee according to the number of performances - of course, it could also fight for a progressive reputation.
Kayla nodded knowingly.
When the two men arrived at the rehearsal space, Morris was already there.
"Hi Ji, Kayla, this is Rudy from the Wess Theatre," Morris gestured, not particularly enthusiastic.
Oh no.
Ji Ming came to the Western District as a Chinese, and he was completely prepared to deal with all kinds of discrimination and ridicule, and even thought about the posture of slapping his face, but unfortunately, maybe he himself had jumped out of that environment, so that after he came, although not everyone was very "hospitable" , but at least no one will say anything to him in person, such as his B corner Dixie, a British man, a dancer, has always been quite affirmed in the repertoire of similar themes, and is a little resistant to Ji Ming, an outsider, but the things on the surface are still in place.
"Hello Rudy. Kayla answered.
Ji Ming nodded.
Rudy hugged Keira Knightley warmly - wow, I want to hold one and step on the other, it's good.
"Kayla, why don't you come to me, I'll definitely customize the best show for you, it's a pity. "Rudy is a person with a lot of emotions - so it is also very touching to imply that she is not worth it to play a supporting role for Ji Ming.
"This is our Mr. Actor? Hello. ”
"Hello. ”
Rudy squinted his eyes and glanced at Ji Ming a lot, tsk, he is a handsome man - relatively speaking, the American aesthetic is a strong muscular stick, and the British is different, their aesthetic is well-proportioned. Of course, it also depends on the face, no matter what color you are, it is not difficult to judge how good you look.
"Morris and I took over the theater at about the same time, but now, my theater is getting more and more popular, and the Morris theater is running out. Rudy looked at Morris smugly: "You know, Morris told me that he will be able to regain the glory of the theater this time." So let's take a look, who gave him so much courage and confidence, Mr. Actor, to be honest, London is completely different from China, and the West End and the entertainment industry are not the same thing, do you think you can afford Morris's trust? You know, if this play doesn't succeed, with Morris's financial situation, it is likely that he will have to do some low-cost and inferior works to gamble on the fate of the theater. ”
"Rudy, what does this have to do with you?"
"Of course it has something to do with me, I said a long time ago, you have to learn to embrace the times, you always don't listen to me. "Silence" may be a good movie, but the people of London today don't like it, they like the curious, the critical, the absurd, that's the trend – not the old idea that you cling to and try to play a play for another twenty years. ”
Morris snorted angrily.
"Even if the theater closes, it's my business, and as long as I'm still in the theater for a day, I won't allow the theater to become a miasma. ”
"Stubborn. ”
"Traitor. ”
"You-" Rudy stared at him for a long time, then turned his head to look at Ji Ming: "Mr. Actor, I am the one who can help him, I am the right one, you wait and see." ”
Ji Ming's mental journey is really very complicated.
So now, what's going on? What kind of planes are these two doing? Or what kind of base are they directly engaged in?
He looked at Kayla, and Kayla winked.
"Ahh Ji Ming said hesitantly, and sure enough, Morris's eyes lit up, and Rudy glared at him fiercely: "And this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Rudy, if "Mo" is really unsuccessful, maybe I can invest in the theater, I admire Mr. Morris very much, I believe that he is so talented and will definitely succeed." ”
"......," Kayla chuckled.
Morris was even a little moved: "Thank you, Ji." ”
"No, I'm just telling the truth. Ji Ming didn't look at Morris, but looked at Rudy with interest, this one was really angry. Ji Ming sighed in his heart, how could this kind of thing happen, it was really complicated.
Rudy walked away in a huff.
When Ji Ming and Kayla warmed up and stretched, they all looked at Morris with that meaningful look, and this uncle was seen with smoke above his head and fled.
Director Stuart happened to bump into him when he came, with a strange look - when he heard the gossip, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said what he knew: "...... Actually, they have a good relationship. If you want to learn more crew operation experience, in fact, the West Theater is far more suitable than Morris, their operation model is very fast, the performance cycle of each play will not exceed three months, all kinds of themes, all kinds of attempts, and even last year they also put on several foreign language works at the same time, although they can't understand it, but it is still very popular. I helped Rudy direct two plays, and both of them were good at the box office. ”
Ji Ming remembered that a completely different way of operating.
Today, Ji Ming and Kayla will rehearse a major scene together, the dance and singing parts of "Silent Lake", including a dance and a song by Edgy, and Yang Ming's dance and two soloists, which have been studied separately before, will be rehearsed today.
One row, drain some problems.
The gap between the singing of the two people is a bit big, and it is not very obvious when they are alone, but when they are put together, it is quite obvious - this matter cannot be solved by actors. Stewart summoned the composer and changed the tune overnight, making it simpler and more in line with Kayla's voice.
This kind of solution, the only one who suffers is Kayla, originally Yang Ming's role was more core, and then he sang more brilliantly, I'm afraid that after the performance, Kayla will not get too high a rating. Fortunately, her considerations are also more complicated, and she has no intention of taking root in the West End.
By the time she re-practiced and then arranged for a joint practice, it was already two days later.
Stewart, Morris, B-Corner Yang Mingdixi...... There was also Rudy, the more silent owner of the Wyss Theater, who stood a little farther away.
In the dance of "Silent Lake", Ai Qi plays a flying bird, representing beauty, freedom, and sunshine - reflecting the early days after Yang Ming woke up, he found that he was more skilled, more amazing, and in better physical condition...... It was a wonderful time.
Kayla was wearing a white dress and dancing lightly - this part of the dance itself was not particularly difficult, it was originally designed for Yuanquan, and she was not a professional dancer. So Kayla didn't have a lot of pressure to jump, and in the middle of the gentle movements and intervals, she sang "How Beautiful the Free Sky Is".
Ji Ming joined in the later stage, singing a chorus of this tune, and changed this song well, Ji Ming led Kayla's voice, like a spiritual bird, wandering freely in the sky, not so hoarse, no storm, and the people next to him could hear the sunshine and cheerful taste from the song.
Then the soundtrack changes, the wind rises suddenly, and the calm silent lake shows its hideous side, with black water surging and white waves covering the sky.
Ji Ming and Kayla's pas de deux suddenly fell apart, and the frightened birds fled, leaving only the black crane to perform the dance of despair. This dance and the film version have only been fine-tuned to make it more suitable for stage performance, and the original little compromise on the film has been changed back.
Before completely sinking into the Lake of Silence, Ji Ming will sing two songs, the first is the more high-spirited "Storm, Come On", then the wind and rain are more urgent, the waves are more vicious, he sings the second song "How the Sky Becomes Dark", and then the final death......
After entering the solo, from that harmonious and wonderful relaxed feeling in an instant, into a kind of surging, not only because of the plot, from the dance, from the singing, in Ji Ming's single part, they are all on fire. The design of the script, including the background soundtrack, the entire series is also arranged in this way, and it explodes with a bang.
"Storm, Come On", there are many high, fast melodies, that kind of fighting spirit is contained in it, even Rudy, who is standing farthest, can feel the pimples on his skin and roar in his ears. After "How the Sky Became Dark", there was more of that long aria, full of pathos, like the song of the Siren, which pierced the ears and brains in the slightest - the effect of the solo practice is completely different.
Standing on the stage, the first thing is acting, what is acting, is to enter the role, into the plot, then what you say and do is acting, on the contrary, if you don't go in, no matter how hard you work, it's fake.
When practicing together, Ji Ming also entered the play, the resonance of drama, body and music, which brought huge tension - this is the charm of musicals.
If you can achieve this tension beyond all subject matter, form, and content, you are a good musical, and you can succeed at any time.
Morris looked excited, and Rudy, who didn't know when he walked to his side: "He always goes back to China, he just wants to use you." ”
In the past few days, he also learned from Stewart that Ji Ming was still making his own musicals in China.
"Rudy, Ji is not such a person, you see, he is simply an elf on the stage, and the whole stage is the natural world that he can control. ”
"I only saw ambition. ”
“...... He wants to go to your theater and I don't have anything more to teach him, would you like to?"
Rudy glared, "Of course I don't—I won't refuse, but it's because of you, you know? You can get him to come to me when he's not working, and you'll have to go with him." ”
Sturt glanced at Rudy and snorted.
Ji Ming was still very happy to learn that he was allowed to go to the Weiss Theater, but as for Morris, he didn't want to follow, so he just dragged it. Going back and forth between Beijing and London several times, and in the later stage, from Shanghai to London - both in English and Chinese, all gradually took shape, and each actor performed his role more perfectly, and felt better than ever.
"I can't wait to perform, it's so good. Kayla was very excited in the end, she found that her part, although the difficulty was lacking, but the drama was more progressive, she learned to use her own characteristics and advantages, to contribute a beautiful performance, this actress who has been shortlisted for two Oscars, but has always been considered to have little acting skills, feels that she seems to understand the true meaning of some acting.
The same is true for the other actors.
The domestic team knows that at least in the musical theater industry, the day of the performance of "Mo" is a new historical node, a milestone, and a new day.
