Tang An personally said on the spot that he recommended Wen Muye to study as an assistant director in the crew of "Heart Flower Road", which not only surprised Wen Muye, but also the 29 directors on the scene were also stunned.

Although it is not a good opportunity to be an assistant director, it is an excellent way out for them to be an assistant director of a big director.

Although Ning Hao's current highest box office is only more than 200 million, the crazy series of two-part series has made him famous, and his fame is not small at all compared to that of a big director.

Moreover, "Heart Flower Road" starring Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, and Hantang Media even offered a sky-high guarantee of 700 million.

With the support of Hantang Media's strong channels and publicity resources, "Heart Flower Road" is almost a successful movie with a high probability.

Not to mention anything else, just mixing a qualification and making friends with Ning Hao and Xu Zheng is a great gain for them as rookie directors.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the inferiority of human beings was fully revealed, and almost all of them were quietly judging the project of Bunmakueno.

Originally, everyone was the same, they were all rookie directors looking for investment, but it turned out that some people were so simply appreciated by the big shots, and it was normal to be unhappy, and subconsciously compared themselves with the other party, and under the subjective influence, it was easy to devalue the other party as useless.

If it weren't for Tang An on stage, it is estimated that he would have turned on the mockery mode.

Tang An looked at the somewhat noisy scene in the audience, which was also expected.

Human nature is like this, why are you luckier than me?

That's right, most people must think in their hearts that Bunmakuno is lucky, not capable.

In fact, it was also lucky, if it wasn't for Tang An's crossing, I wouldn't have looked at this project more than I would have seen it.

However, the scene still has to be said.

He smiled and said, "Do you know why I'm optimistic about him?"

Everyone was puzzled, and Wen Muye himself was confused, as if he had nothing to do with Tang An.

"I've repeated what I've said many times, you rookie directors are begging investors to invest, just like doing business, if you say something ugly, it's called coaxing and deception. ”

"For the sake of the market, Wen Muye can change the niche literary film into a road romantic comedy, at least it proves that he is willing to change because of the market, if I am an investor, he is willing to change according to my intentions, so that the project is more in line with the requirements of the market, then I will at least be willing to learn more about this project in my heart." ”

"As for films like Han Yi's just now, I said that there can't be ghosts in the film, but she replied to me that she didn't want the domestic market and sold overseas copyrights. Do you think I'm going to pay for it from an investor's point of view?"

As soon as Tang An's words fell, someone below couldn't help but speak.

"Then what does Director Tang mean by coaxing and deceiving?"

Tang An said, "Literally, what you are currently doing is a sales job, selling your own projects, thinking about the related industries you usually encounter, basically boasting about your own things." ”

"Selling cars, houses, and clothing is the same thing, you have to tell the investor that your project can make money, and it doesn't matter much if it's a little exaggerated. My company receives countless scripts and plans every day, and some of them are crazy, as if they will invest 10 million and make at least 200 million next year, if it is not too exaggerated, I almost believe it. ”

"Of course, I'm not teaching you to deceive, movies can't be 100% successful, and they can't be 100% unsuccessful, what you have to do is to let investors see the side that is likely to succeed. When you get the investment, you should be responsible for the project, the crew, and the investor's money, whether you cater to the market as you and the investor say, or stick to your own style, it depends on you, and you have to be responsible for yourself!"

Tang An didn't teach shooting, didn't teach crew scheduling, didn't teach the use of lenses and picture layout, many things were taught in school, and similar professional books could be searched everywhere on the Internet, and more relied on his own use.

What they lack most at the moment is how to sell their projects, otherwise, everything else is empty talk.

For more than an hour, Tang An didn't say much, and he didn't see any interesting projects.

It's either to follow the rules or to let yourself go.

Tang An didn't say much, Guan Jinpeng and Wei Desheng began to give lectures, and they talked about a lot of things, such as various types of film photography methods, how to use lighting and photography angles to create different atmospheres, and other specific things.

It may be that Tang An talked too much before and stole the limelight, and they were also very interested in talking about it.

Although the things they talked about were real, the rookie directors on the scene were disappointed, because Tang An only occasionally interjected, and he didn't fancy another project, even if someone learned from Wen Muye to change the original literary film into a funny comedy genre, Tang An was not interested.

As the evening approached, the class was over.

"Let's go back and think about it, I hope what we said will help you a little. ”

Tang An finally said a word, said hello to a few other teachers, didn't stay long, and didn't talk about anything with Wen Muye, until he was a little disappointed, and the other people's mentality finally improved a little.

After returning from the magic capital, Tang An sent invitations to several actors that night, preparing to let the actors and the military advisory team go to the military region for training first.

Although they were not all in the capital, a day later, at ten o'clock in the morning, several actors all arrived.

In the large conference room of the group, Tang An met several main actors.

Zhang Yi, who plays the captain, Du Qi, the deputy captain, Zhang Ruoyun, the sniper, Jiang Luxia, Zhao Xun, and the observer Peng Yichang.

The eight members of the Jiaolong squad, except for the signal corps and medical corps, the main actors are all here.

The actor Zhang Yi has not changed, there are many actors with tough guys and military images in the circle, but after a few times, he still chose Zhang Yi, an actor who later claimed to have plastic surgery-like acting skills.

Zhang Yi has been a soldier for ten years, although he only served in the Beijing Military Region Repertory Troupe, but he has experienced life in special forces and reconnaissance units.

That kind of military character, when you pick up a gun, the whole person is different.

The role of the vice-captain has also considered many actors, and the vice-captain in the film is a paternalistic role, and many dangerous situations are taken care of.

Many of the things that the captain is inconvenient to say are also borne by him, and when he talks to the team members, he looks like a father, and Du Qian is not yet thirty.

However, Du Qian already has a child, so there is no big problem to be qualified as such a "father", and the appearance of the cream boy is not a problem, so he was finally chosen.

Another role that hasn't been changed is machine gunner Tong Li, there are too few actresses of this type in China to choose.

Wuying-level athlete, and has also filmed many film and television dramas.

The character image of the sniper should be a little dragging and at the same time very confident.

Among the younger generation, Zhang Ruoyun's appearance is more in line with the requirements of the role.

Although the remake of "New Snow Leopard" was unsuccessful, it later performed well in "Forensic Qin Ming".

The acting skills are not first-class, but they are still good among actors in their 20s, and their appearance meets the requirements.

It's just that there is a gap in temperament, and it is a little more feminine, but after being thrown into the army for half a year, the temperament comes out.

Huang Jingyu, who originally played this role, still doesn't know where to be a model.

Huang Jingyu is better than Zhang Ruoyun in the scene with the observer, which is g-angry.

It may be that Huang Jingyu has not yet broken away from the role of the previous gay-themed web drama "Addiction", which is full of aggression.

Later, after the release of "Operation Red Sea", a certain women's frequency website also appeared with the same person between Gu Shun and observer Li Dong.

Observer Li Dong, who is younger, there are not many actors around 20, so Peng Yichang was found, and there are not many scenes on the side of "Mysterious Superstar".

The machine gunner Stone found Zhao Xun, who starred in "Special Forces" with Wu Jing, and played the honest Erniu in it, but he was just an acting school, and later the role of the scorpion in "Poison Hunter" was in huge contrast with his previous roles, and it was not inconsistent at all.

These main roles are also the last roles of the scene, especially the battle scenes, five or six months of training is a must, and the other actors can be later.

The secretary pushed open the door, Tang An walked into the conference room, and the actors who were originally sitting immediately all stood up.

"Director Tang: Okay. ”

"It's all here, let's sit down first. ”

Tang An smiled and asked them all to sit down.

Glancing at the people who were a little nervous and excited, Tang An said, "Looking for you, I guess you have also guessed that the military movie "Operation Red Sea" announced earlier has officially begun preparations, and then you will follow a real special forces for half a year of targeted training, after the training is over, there will be about four to five months of filming, most of which are abroad." ”

"That is, for the next year, none of you will be able to leave the crew. ”

After Tang An finished speaking, he waited for their reply.

You have to stay on the crew all year round!

Although they have long known that it is a military film, necessary training is indispensable, but half a year of training and five months of filming are still beyond their expectations.

With such a long period of training, and the fact that there are real special forces training them, it is conceivable that the training will definitely not be easy.

Zhang Yi and Du Qian still had some doubts, but Zhang Ruoyun, Jiang Luxia, Zhao Xun, and Peng Yichang agreed without much thought.

"Director Tang, I'm fine. ”

For the four of them, there are no other concerns, and it is still Tang An's movie.

Even if Zhang Ruoyun has a good father, but after the loss of the father-son file of "New Snow Leopard", he was not less ridiculed.

Those with a background look down on him, relying on his father who is a director and he doesn't get mixed up, and the same is true for those who don't have a background, he desperately needs a successful film to prove that he doesn't just rely on his father.

The other two were a little worried, Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Director Tang, I still have two roles in the two movies "Dear" and "Golden Age", and it is estimated that it will take less than a month. ”

Tang An thought for a while and said, "These two films seem to be scheduled to be released on the National Day, "Operation Red Sea" will only be filmed abroad after the National Day, as long as you don't delay training, I can give you a holiday." ”

"Thank you Director Tang, I will not affect the training. Zhang Yi hurriedly promised.

After debuting for so many years, he has not really become a big hit, and this time Tang An's military movie is his best opportunity.

Compared with these actors on the scene, Zhang Yi has absolute confidence in playing a soldier, even if he is not the actor, at least he is the second or third role!

"Director Tang, I'm fine. ”

Du Qian gritted his teeth, didn't say anything, and came down in one bite.

In the past two years, with his wife's pregnancy and the successful birth of his son, he has been busy taking care of his family and has no time to film.

In addition, he is not very famous, and when people talk about him, they will add a sentence about Huo Shiyan's husband.

Although he didn't really care, he wanted to prove his idea somewhat.

But it's not famous, it's not a chance, and I have to take care of children, and I haven't had a chance.

Now I finally have the opportunity, my son is half a year old, parents and nannies can take it, go abroad to shoot after the National Day, and I can also hold a 100-day banquet and a birthday for my son before going abroad.

Tang An nodded, "Since there is no problem, then after the Lantern Festival, you will officially start training, and someone will pick you up at that time, and the instructor will arrange the training." ”

"I won't give you the script first, and after a month and a half, I will check your results when I come back from filming, and I can sign the contract only if I am qualified, I hope you will understand. ”

Everyone has no objections, a month and a half is nothing, when Zhang Yimou auditioned for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", he found dozens of actors to train together, and most of them were not admitted and delayed their efforts.

Tang An looked at a few of them and said two more words, "I will talk about it when you get the script, and the instructor will tell you when you train your respective roles." Let me start with a few words, Du Qi, when you train with them in the future, try to use as many similar words as possible, such as "I come", "I go", and "I have a way", and integrate them into your instincts. Because you're a "paternalistic" character, a big bag. ”

"Okay Tang Dao. Du Qian nodded in response.

This shouldn't be the male number one, except for the occasional male protagonist who is tall and rushing to do everything in the main theme, there is basically no one in commercial movies.

However, Tang An personally told that it was estimated that there would be no less scenes, and Du Qi was not much disappointed.

Tang An continued, "Zhang Ruoyun and Peng Yichang, you exchange more feelings, and you will be inseparable partners in the film." ”

An inseparable companion?

The two glanced at each other, and the two, who didn't know much about the military, couldn't figure out what kind of characters would be inseparable.

If you want to talk about the same unit, then everyone is inseparable, how can you just talk about the two of them.

However, he didn't ask too much, Tang An also said just now that the specific role will be known when he arrives in the army.

Tang An didn't think about whether to shoot them in a g-angry manner for the time being, but the tacit understanding between the two was not a bad thing at all.

Then he looked at Zhang Ruoyun, "What I ask of you is self-confidence, absolute self-confidence, and you must have these two words in your eyes, which can be seen from your eyes." ”

The word confidence seems simple, but it is not so simple to actually perform it.

Some actors are not good-looking, but they are very confident in acting, swaying freely, and they are good actors at first glance.

Some actors are very beautiful and full of energy in life, but when they start acting, they cringe and are like a vase.

Deng Chao did a very good job in this regard, as early as when he was very young, he played the emperor (he had a nickname called the emperor professional in his early years), played the domineering president, played the arrogant second generation, played the ruffian, these other male actors showed their timid roles when they were not careful, and he played them with ease.

is obviously not good-looking in the entertainment industry, but no matter what he plays, he has a very confident temperament, and his eyes are firm, as if he thinks that he is that role from the bottom of his heart, there is no doubt about it.

Whether it is the emperor of "Young Son of Heaven", or the diamond king in "The Difficult Love of the Diamond King".

Although the latter's appearance is very earthy, and he is now a rural entrepreneur, Deng Chao plays the domineering president without stage fright, whether it is infatuation in love or intelligence in career, he plays it freely, and he is a little fucking Su, so he didn't say anything about his acting skills.

Speaking of the domineering president, we have to mention Wang Xiaoming.

In terms of appearance alone, he is much better than Deng Chao, but when he plays the domineering president, it is unnatural and contrived.

Many times, it is clear that Wang Xiaoming looks very affectionate to the heroine in the play, but he can't feel his love for the heroine, and he usually exudes charm there by himself - look at how handsome I am, I am fascinated.

Wang Xiaoming's role as a domineering president reveals a sense of emptiness, that is, he is "acting", and the feelings given to him are not very real, but Deng Chao's eyes are firm, as if he has really entered that role.

Since he talked about self-confidence and Wang Xiaoming, he had to mention his wife.

Yang Ying is quite confident in reality, and after being criticized for taking the sky-high salary, he replied confidently, "I'm worth 80 million."

Look, how confident, full of confidence.

Other actors will be humble regardless of whether they have the strength or not, she is good and full of confidence, after all, she once said in public that this is the beauty given to her by God.

But when filming, I don't have this self-confidence, exaggerated and timid.

There are many such actors, Fan Binbin is confident enough in front of the public, he is simply synonymous with domineering and queen.

Although they are all set up by the team behind her, she believes it after pretending to be for a long time.

But don't look at Fan Binbin when he was a star, as if he was the most beautiful in China, what "Fan Ye" and "I am a wealthy family" seem to be very domineering.

In fact, her heart is a big Mary Sue, she likes her pure white and immaculate the most, other women are jealous and framed by herself, and men are eyeing her.

There is nothing else to advise, let's talk about it in a month.

"Then let's do it, go back and rest for a few days, come to the company to report after the Lantern Festival, someone will take you to the army, and don't disclose the other characters' affairs. ”

"I know Director Tang. The crowd responded in unison.

"Well, let's all go back, and I hope to see you in a month and a half. ”

After everyone left, Tang An also called Director Tan of Haizheng and Zhang Haifeng, head of the military advisory group, to determine the time when the training would begin.
