1381 Pan Dao's helplessness
"Miss Diba, excuse me, can I have a few words with Mr. Ding?"
Just when the two were talking and laughing, Producer Wang came over and said with a smile.
Dibba was drunk, smiled politely and raised his hand to sign, indicating that please feel free.
Ding Ning knew that the main drama was coming, so he got up and left the table, and sat down on the sofa with Producer Wang.
Pan Yigang and Cheng Wenhai were already waiting in the sofa area, and the rest of the people waited until they looked like they had something to talk about, and they also consciously stayed away from the sofa area, and subconsciously lowered their volume.
Xiao Yao had already thrown out her bait at this time - the membership card issued by Zui Hongyan Cosmetics Company.
I have to say that women, especially female artists, none of them don't care about their skin and appearance, Zui Hongyan has a membership card that gives priority to the purchase of the "Supreme Hongyan" set once it was launched, and it was immediately pursued by Yang Mi and others, even Diba did not bear this temptation, temporarily gave up the food, and stepped forward to shout that she wanted to become a member of Zui Hongyan.
"Mr. Ding, I admit that your literary skills are very strong, and we had a good conversation, but I still have an objection to the producer's insistence on letting you be the leading actor in "Sword and Fairy Heroes""
As soon as Ding Ning sat down, before he had time to take a sip of tea, Pan Yigang said unceremoniously.
Ding Ning frowned and didn't speak, took out a pack of cigarettes and signaled, the three people were not polite, one took one and lit it, and the four of them began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.
"Mr. Ding, don't get me wrong, Lao Pan doesn't have prejudices against you as a person, but his character is like this, he is a very dedicated director, whether he is making movies or TV series, he has to strive for perfection in order to achieve the best shooting effect. β
Producer Wang saw that Ding Ning was silent, Pan Yigang and Cheng Wenhai also lowered their heads and smoked without saying a word, breaking the silence with a smile, which can be regarded as an explanation for Pan Yigang.
"I understand Director Pan's feelings, I understand his thoughts, to be honest, I am still in the clouds, if it wasn't for my friend who made the decision for me, I wouldn't have agreed to film. β
Ding Ning took a deep puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said lightly: "I myself have no interest in filming, but since I have promised my friend now, I will try my best to do my best, if I am not mistaken, the promise of me to be the leading actor is also a decision made by the producer alone, right? That's why when you saw me, you wanted to give me a dismissal, so that I had better retreat, and you also explained it to the producer, right?"
"Yes, I did plan to do so, and Mr. Ding is really wise. β
Pan Yigang couldn't help blushing when he was seen through, but he admitted his thoughts very calmly: "It's not that I have any opinion of Mr. Ding, to be honest, I have heard of Mr. Ding's name as a miracle doctor, and the miracle that happened to Miss Song Ziyi today makes me extremely impressed with Mr. Ding's miraculous medical skills, but after all, the interlacing is like a mountain, and no matter how deep Mr. Ding's attainments in the medical field are, it does not mean that he can make some achievements in the entertainment industry." β
Without waiting for Ding Ning to argue, Pan Yigang waved his hand vigorously and continued: "Just like Miss Song Ziyi, she is still a diva in the music world, and she can also hang up with the entertainment industry, but her acting skills are still far from the shooting effect I expected, let alone someone like Mr. Ding who has never filmed." β
Ding Ning smiled and said with interest: "Since Director Pan thinks that Miss Song Ziyi's acting skills are not up to standard, why do you agree to her as the female number one?"
Pan Yigang's face became serious, and he looked at Ding Ning and said word by word: "To be honest, I was also extremely opposed to Miss Song Ziyi's decision to participate in the female number one, but her acting skills are indeed slightly unsatisfactory, but she is not without acting skills at all, not to mention that she has held many concerts and seen big scenes, and her psychological quality is completely passable, and she can immerse herself in the role without external interference." β
"The most important thing is her attitude, she is a very dedicated artist, unlike those stars who play big names at every turn after they have status, she can put down the shelf of the diva, and is willing to shoot a TV series that will not improve her fame but will make her worth fall, which in itself is enough to explain the problem, although her acting skills are insufficient, but she is willing to learn to specialize in artists with artistic virtues, I will give her a chance. β
Pan Yi just finished speaking in one breath, took a sip of flower tea and said a little depressed: " Of course, this does not mean that I will definitely use him when I enter the crew, there is a clause in the contract when the crew signs the contract, if I am not satisfied as a director, I have the right to change the actor at any time, including Song Ziyi and the previous male number one Wu Jiawen are within this range, but I didn't expect that there was an accident at the beginning of filming Miss Song Ziyi, and Wu Jiawen, who was optimistic about me, would use the excuse of delaying the schedule to want to sit on the ground and raise the price. β
Ding Ning showed a thoughtful expression, he couldn't even pass Song Ziyi's acting skills, so could he do it? It is reasonable that Director Pan is not optimistic about him.
However, although this mood can be understood, it still makes him feel very uncomfortable in his heart, and there is a feeling of being looked down upon.
This aroused his competitive spirit, and he could even read such boring and obscure works of traditional Chinese medicine patiently, and he didn't believe that filming was bad.
"Mr. Ding, say something you don't like to hear, I understand that the company wants to use your fame to increase the ratings of this film, but as a producer, in line with the attitude of being responsible for both the company and Mr. Ding, I also agree with Director Pan's opinion, for the company, Mr. Ding's participation can indeed play a role in improving ratings, but any film and television work relying on the actor's fame is not long-term, and after the overdraft of fame, it will be scolded, after all, fame is not easy to accumulate, if Mr. Ding does not perform well in the shooting, it will also cause great damage to your reputation, and it is not impossible for your fans to even turn black because of thisγ β
Producer Wang, who was always smiling, explained with an extremely serious and sincere expression.
"Although the role of film and television works is defined by people as entertaining the public, but for me and Lao Pan, including those who really love film and television, the role of film and television is not just to entertain the public, it is a sacred and serious art, through a story line, some social microcosms to interpret more practical significance, if an actor can not show what we want to express, this film and television work is a failure, so, Mr. Ding, I'm sorry, I agree with Lao Pan's opinion on this point. β
Cheng Wenhai also said with a serious expression.
The corners of Ding Ning's mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a little playfulness: "Director Pan, Teacher Cheng, and Producer Wang, I understand what you said, and what you want to express is that you just think that I don't understand acting, and that it is impossible for me to perform this role well, and you want me to retreat from the difficulties, right?"
"Yes, after all, you are the actor designated by the investor, and they want to rely on your fame to sensationalize and increase the ratings, but I don't agree with Lao Cheng and Lao Wang about this approach. β
Pan Yigang did not shy away from saying: "Even if this is just a TV series shot by Schindler for profit, in the minds of most people, TV series are far less expressive and appealing than the big screen, because the big screen is all the integration of shooting essence, reducing all the plots to one hundred and twenty minutes, while the TV series has a procrastinating plot, passable and even shoddy works."
But I don't think this is absolute, TV series do not compare with movies, but it is also a form of artistic expression, whether it is a film or a TV series, the script is the soul, and whether the actor can express the story he wants to tell in the script through the perfect interpretation of the characters is the key to the success of a film and television work.
I, Pan Yigang, said something unashamed, since my debut, I have taken the boutique route, if the actor can't express what I want through his performance, even if he is an actor, I won't pass, even if this is just a TV series filmed to raise funds, it is also the essence of Lao Cheng's painstaking writing, I will never allow anyone to be trampled on the fruits of his labor.
Mr. Ding, I'm not afraid to tell you that what we are going to shoot is not an ordinary TV series, but a high-quality TV series with thoughts and souls, I don't look down on you, but you are really not suitable for making this film, so I hope Mr. Ding can take the initiative to refuse the producer, which can be regarded as giving my Lao Pan a face, okay?"
Ding Ning looked at the pleading eyes of Pan Yigang, Cheng Wenhai and Producer Wang, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether he makes this drama or not, emotionally speaking, these three people are very touched by their character and respect and strict requirements for film and television works.
To be honest, he also wanted to fulfill them, but the feeling of being looked down upon made him very reluctant and reluctant, plus this was Xiao Nuo's request, and he also had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting Song Ziyi's safety, so he couldn't agree to their request at all.
Fiercely extinguishing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, Ding Ning made up his mind and said with a very sincere attitude: "Director Pan, it stands to reason that you have said this, I should agree to your request, but please forgive me, I have a reason why I don't shoot." β
Pan Yigang and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, Producer Wang was better, after all, he represented the producer, although he was helpless, he didn't have too much loss.
But Pan Yigang and Cheng Wenhai were different, their faces became extremely lonely, and they sighed softly, unable to even smile bitterly.
It's really uncomfortable to have a desire for others, if it weren't for their influence in the film and television industry in order to raise funds for filming, how could they allow the producer to point fingers and bypass the director to forcibly insert characters into the crew.
"Director Pan, Teacher Cheng, I know that you are very unwilling, to be honest, I am not very willing, you are too preconceived, Director Pan said a sentence before, called interlacing is like a mountain, although I agree but can not completely agree, in my opinion, there are thousands of avenues, different paths to the same end, there is a crossover and overlap between the road and the road. β
Ding Ning looked at Pan Yigang very seriously and said seriously: "If you think that I am just a doctor and it is impossible for me to understand acting skills, then I will tell you now, in fact, I am not just a doctor?"
"More than just doctors?"
Pan Yigang and the others all looked at him in amazement, not knowing what he wanted to express.
Producer Wang even thought disdainfully in his heart, you are still an actor, right?
