When Yang Ruyi opened the next topic, he hesitated and hesitated a little, but he still said it: "Your studio is now operating independently, of course I can do some, but since you are going to control the movie, do you want to hire a more experienced manager?"

"You have time to learn, and so do I. ”

For Ji Ming, the more stable and smooth the people and environment around him, the more energy he has to devote to his real career - acting. In fact, including making movies, investment, and money, for him now, he has to go to the back row, if you ask him for 100 million, 200 million, or a starring work that can leave a famous film history, he will say without a doubt: 200 million!

And then after taking the money, he will act in a work that will leave a famous film history - this is himself, and the confidence that Koi gives him.

Money is no longer a problem, just like this time, is it really Yang Ruyi who is a natural negotiator? It's just that she has a winning hand, Ji Ming is here, he wants money, and then you have to consider giving him money, otherwise you will have to suffer greater losses, it's as simple as that, a smart person will choose long-term cooperation - a family gives less than 40 million, and the value of maintaining good cooperation with Ji Ming is far more than this number.

Since the marketization of the film and television cultural industry, there have been too many examples, around a certain director, actor, how much benefit can be generated, such as the dispute between the two national teachers, such as Kitano Takeyuki and Jia Zhangke, not to mention the most far-sighted investment, always invest in the right person.

Ji Ming is no longer a potential stock, but a genuine high-performance stock, or even a white horse stock.

Therefore, he is willing to give Yang Ruyi a chance, including giving her a return of 10% before, in fact, he is also walking on this arrangement, and then continuing to give her a share of the studio, there is no problem, as long as she can continue to meet Ji Ming's needs.

"Then I'll do it first. Yang Ruyi was silent for a while, and nodded, with a real sense of pressure.

Either win or lose, she has no third way.

"Don't be too nervous," Ji Ming smiled: "My workload is so big, even if I graduate, I don't have so much work, and you have time to adapt." Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll leave all the things in the studio to you, Lin Ran and Tang Fan, I will also watch, but the others, you will lead it. ”

In other words, Lin Ran and Tang Fan are the people who Ji Ming put in the studio to watch Yang Ruyi, they are still Yang Ruyi's subordinates, but they have the power to play secretly, this is a matter of course, Yang Ruyi also knows it, but saying it is trust, it is frank, and if you don't make any small reports and shoot black guns, you will come with open fire.

……

The book of "Struggle" has been written, of course, Ji Ming's draft has been completed, and after finding the director in the follow-up, he has to revise the draft with the director and screenwriter, a script always has to be changed many, many times, even "The Wandering Earth" has to be changed a hundred drafts, and after the change, Ji Ming has to find out so many faults, let alone an art film script - plus when shooting, there are new ideas coming out at any time, and they may not all follow the script.

So now the script can only be regarded as an outline - of course, not the kind of outline that is submitted to the Film Bureau for review.

Contacting Lou Ye, Ji Ming considered whether to go by himself or contact the company. If it had been before, he would definitely not consider going by himself, because Lou Ye had a bumpy fate, filmed a garden, and was sealed for five years, so he had no chance to cooperate with the current first-line stars in China, and he didn't bother to cooperate. But maybe now that he is older, much more enlightened, and much more transparent, the previous film "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" used several popular Xiaosheng Xiaohua, and "Lanxin Theater" even had Gong Li joined.

But in the end, I decided to let the company contact it, try it, it's presumptuous, after all, he is still a director with a lot of personality - through friends like Jia Zhangke, it may backfire, maybe it's better to do business.

"What did Director Lou Ye say?"

"He is busy with the later stages of "Lyceum Theater" and is not very willing to start making a new movie now. ”

"Didn't you say you could start filming after the year?"

Yang Ruyi took a bottle of water for Ji Ming - I don't know when it started, there is only unopened bottled water here, and he is also quite cautious: "You listen to me, and then the company still showed him the script, he said think about it, and later replied that he could talk about it......"

Ji Ming looked at her expression, it didn't look very optimistic, he thought for a while: "He has requirements for my role?"

"He wants that whether you invest or not, when the movie is filmed, you are just an actor, and he will only treat you as an actor. ”

Really.

Ji Ming leaned back.

This kind of famous director, it is too difficult to make them just an executor, especially Lou Ye, who would rather not film, than waste a year to "help others" make a film.

Now it's time for him to have a headache.

"Don't you trust him?"

"It's not that I don't trust him, it's that I don't want this film to be just an expression of him, Made, or I can't figure it out. ”

Ji Ming really felt that he couldn't figure it out, either he would direct it himself, or find a helper to direct it together, or hand over the script, treat it as if it was written by someone else, do his duty as an actor, and listen to the director - no, he is not so decisive.

"I almost thought that I was old and decrepit," Ji Ming thought for a long time, and Yang Ruyi stopped several employees who wanted to come in to report to work, only to see him suddenly laugh: "Now I suddenly feel that I am still very tender." ”

"You're only 21 years old. ”

"It's not your age, it's when you're acting, you feel that even if some roles are unfamiliar, you can still have a performance above the level, because I've already learned about acting, and all of them are all the best, but at least all of them are not bad. This feeling will give me the illusion that I can grasp everything," Ji Ming was not so much talking to Yang Ruyi as talking to himself: "But now I find that I am actually very indecisive and unsure about these things around the movie, and these things that are needed to complete a movie, and I can't guess what it will bring to the movie, and I can't guess that performance is never the whole of the movie." ”

Yang Ruyi remained silent.

"So since this is the case, it is always uncontrollable, so there is no need to find the so-called best candidate, you let the company choose someone else, myself, think about it again, forget it on Lou Ye's side." ”

It's as simple as giving up.

"If one day he comes to me to film, of course I am happy to work together, but this time, it is my film, not his. ”

……

Lou Ye's office.

He is a person who is quite dedicated to his work, and when he is directing, he will grind the exaggerated actors, a bit like the king of sunglasses, let you play all the time, don't say anything, and know that he thinks you are right when you perform - right, not good.

The difference between the two is that the good is standard, the moving is good, the input is good, and the role is good. And there is no standard for what is right, he is right when he says right, and if he says it is wrong, it is not right, no matter how good it is.

Such directors, generally speaking, have queen actors, that is, they have figured out their tonality and are easy to play the right role.

For example, Liang Yingdi is to the king of sunglasses, and Qin Hao is to Lou Ye.

In between cutting, he picked up the book sent by Xitian, he has a lot of books here all year round, although he doesn't actually read much, but it's famous, there will still be many people who send him books, the basic possibility is very low - "Struggle" He has already watched it for the third time.

The first time I sent it, I went through it and it felt a bit like "Black Swan" – a story about dance and the heart.

The second time he thought about it, and found that it wasn't exactly the same, so he read it again, and then he saw the despair hidden in this book.

"Black Swan" is a HE story, a happy ending, is a good ending: a dancer, when he hits his own artistic barrier, is hallucinated by the dark character and the surrounding environment, so at this stage, he recognizes the negative traits hidden in his heart, and introduces it into the role, which is a great success, and then everything returns to normal, and all the bad things in the hallucination are fake.

But "Struggle" is a desperate story, and its entire narrative direction is also different from "Black Swan", the main actor is not driven by the dance role, but in his subconscious, gradually guessing the reality of the world, in the process, he puts the emotion of struggle into the dance work, as an image, to show his speculation through the language of dance. By the end of the dance performance, it was also subconsciously entering reality, he could not deceive himself, and finally confirmed that he was in a fantasy world, he himself, lying on the hospital bed, motionless, without any intuition, and even constantly approaching death - the stage was finally closed, and the doctor's sentence "Are you sure you want to give up treatment?" even named the end of the story.

"It might be better if it wasn't so straightforward in the end. Lou Ye thought, after reading it for the third time, he tried to make the story more in line with his aesthetics.

Knock knock.

"Come in. ”

"Why?"

This is Lou Ye's old friend for decades, Ney An, she has supervised most of Lou Ye's films, but not including the recent "Lanxin Theater", because she went to shoot an art film, which has no sense of existence, called "Tender History", playing a mother in Beijing - don't underestimate Ne An's performance, she is one of the few people in China who has won the A-class film festival actress, Locarno's Silver Leopard Award.

"Are you reading this book again?"

They communicated.

"Well, I think there's a lot to think about. Lou Ye clicked on the notebook with his fingers, but he was not chic, he was a little cool, a little boring, and a little ungood at words: "But people don't look for me anymore." ”

"Huh?" Ney was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, this sister is 56 years old, dyed blonde hair, wears black-framed glasses, is a really chic character, accompanied Lou Ye was sealed for five years, and spent money to make movies that he may not have anyone buys, confidant.

"You put forward conditions?"

"This book was written by Ji Ming. ”

An old friend's words are enough.

"So he's not going to give you all the movies?"

Lou Ye pondered for a while: "I asked Tan Zhuo, didn't the two of them meet once, she said that Ji Ming is a very contradictory person, very modest and gentle, but when performing, he is very domineering and sharp." ”

Tan Zhuo made his debut from Lou Ye's "Spring Breeze Drunk Night".

Ney An thought for a while and nodded: "I watched his performance in "Immortals", and he really deserves to be sharp. That movie is not so much the director's work, but Ji Ming's work, such an actor is not something that ordinary people can control, or in fact, many directors will not want to control him, if you really shoot this, I'm afraid you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Forget it. ”

Sure enough, for Lou Ye, interest is a rare thing, but it is not enough for him to make such a big change.

"Okay," Ney shrugged his shoulders, "I'll tell you, "Spring Breeze" is ...... over there."

……

Ji Ming discovered that this place in the entertainment industry is really amazing.

Some people swagger outside after winning the prize, but after a few days, the heat will still subside. Some people will sink down after winning the award, but the media and netizens can still carnival for a few days when he is absent, as if he is not there.

What does this mean.

This shows that all they need is an excuse to express themselves, and they don't care what you think. ”

"So thorough?"

Ji Ming nodded, with a deep expression: "Xu Xiaobao, don't pick my clothes, I will pay for them if they are damaged." ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue, ran to Taohong's side and got tired for a while, then ran to the side to play, and after a while, she was going to pick Ji Ming's clothes again - he wore a hole suit today, with some patch designs on his arms, and after changing the way he cooperated with Li Ning, his private clothes were a lot more colorful.

Fans said that it was long overdue to kick Li Ning, and stop endorsing FMCG clothing.

Peach put the script on her lap: "Why do you think I'm suitable for the role of Chunya? I haven't officially acted in a movie for many years." ”

Ji Ming thought for a while, and even meditated with his cheeks up, as if he really couldn't find any reliable reason, and Peach was about to be amused by him.

"When I wrote the role of Chunya, I had a picture in my mind, black and white, in the dance studio, there were some photos of dancers on the wall, it was a white wall in black and white, and then Mr. Chunya leaned against the wall, wearing a dance costume, put a knitted sweater around his neck, and laughed, that smile is your smile, the eyes are crooked, especially sweet, like eating a sweet watermelon that is just ripe, sweet and silky.

Then at the end of the dance, near the end, when the rookie actors have disappeared, and the others are unaware, including Chunya, at this time Yang Ming saw her appearance, what came out of my mind was a certain still of you in "Black Eyes", like a real blind man, but his face was vivid, that kind of contrast, particularly tense, very consistent with the state of Chunya: the fantasy is over, the soul is dead, and the body has not cooled yet.

I just want to say that this role is projected by you, and if you can play it, it must be the most suitable. ”

Taohong looked at Xu Xiaobao, she has been in the family for almost ten years, she has pushed off too many books, and now that the child is in the fourth grade, she can find time to return to acting, so she took Huang Sanshi's TV series - at her age, it is natural to play the mother in the TV series.

But seeing this book sent by Ji Ming, although Chunya is not a heroine, and there are not many scenes, she is indeed a flesh-and-blood character, and in such a good book, the characters are more than three points, and she does have an urge to act.

"I'm paid a lot. ”

“…… Do you know what Mr. Huang said when I asked him why he didn't ask me to play "Little Joy"?"

"How?"

Ji Ming couldn't help laughing: "He said that he couldn't afford to use an actor as expensive as me, so he could only use a few cheap ones." ”

“……”

Peach rolled her eyes: "Bai gave him face, and he also played his play." ”

The salary is really not a problem, Xu Zheng can make so much money, Taohong is now acting in movies, and she doesn't watch the salary at all, not to mention that this is still Ji Ming's book, Ji Ming's movie, she can't ask her for any price.

"Okay, then it's decided, after a year, right?"

"Well, after "The Wandering Earth" was released, I couldn't calm down to shoot it before. ”

Peach nodded: "What about the director, is it decided?"

"Not yet, I originally wanted to ask Lou Ye to direct it, but we may have disagreements about the appearance of the movie, and I am afraid that there will be a conflict at that time. Ji Ming thought about it for a while, and for the first time told someone about another candidate: "When I was in Cannes, I met an Italian director, a female director, she made a surrealist film, a bit like Van Gogh's paintings, stone houses, people at the bottom, and then there is the kind of design that travels through time in an instant, and won the Best Screenplay Award in Cannes - because of "Break Free" 's fantasy world is beautiful, Yang Ming's dance skills are far beyond reality, and everyone is enthusiastic about his return, including Mr. Chunya, a dance teacher, extremely conscientious and extremely passionate about dancing, everything is beautiful in fantasy, this kind of lens language needs have a lot in common with her shot in "Happy Lazaro". ”

"And then when this kind of beauty is torn, questioned, and destroyed, it will be even more desperate, right?"

Ji Ming was silent for a while and nodded.

Peach sighed: "Can you pass the trial?"

"No, Beijing Culture, Penguin, and Xitian have not raised the issue of having a trial, and they have not alluded to anything. ”

I just asked. ”

Ji Ming rolled her eyes, her memory was still left ten years ago, twenty years, and it was blocked at every turn.

"What a roll of your eyes. ”

"I didn't, Xu Xiaobao, you pick again, today you see if I can clean you up, your father can't save you. Ji Ming stood up viciously, grabbed the little girl, and made a gesture to beat her up and throw her out.

The screams of a 10-year-old girl are probably one of the scariest things in the world.

Taohong covered her ears in advance, smiled very happily, looked at Ji Ming, I really felt that Ji Ming when I was talking about the script just now, it didn't seem to be a person, which one was the real him?
