Chapter 21
"Just kidding, I'm not that vulnerable. Lin Hai smiled and said to Akabane Hiroshi: "I know that Oguri Shun is from an acting family, I just hope that the director can watch my performance before making a decision." ”
I see.
Everyone suddenly realized, and immediately reacted, Lin Hai's acting skills are good!
Although they took advantage of their sympathy, they were able to deceive everyone present, which is enough to prove Lin Hai's acting skills.
His eyes were once again focused on Hiroshi Akabane.
The current situation is that Lin Hai has no chance to create opportunities to show himself, and Hiroshi Akabane will be too sorry for his directorship title if he talks nonsense with his eyes open.
Unexpectedly, Akabane Bo didn't mention Lin Hai's acting skills at all, but asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing him say this, others couldn't help but recall what Lin Hai said: It's really flattering to throw it to the blind.
In fact, Hiroshi Akabane's attitude has been shaken.
Lin Hai's appearance is impeccable, his speech and demeanor are mature and sophisticated, and his acting skills are also quite eye-catching.
Hiroshi Akabane even came up with the idea that "this is the Kikuchi Yoshito I'm looking for".
However, if he changed his mind at this time, where would he put his face? Not to mention that Lin Hai's natural arrogance also made him quite unhappy.
Akabane Hiroshi self-suggests - this kid may be really talented, but his character is not good, so he must not be used.
Akabane Hiroshi gave an eviction order, but no one said a word.
The entertainment industry is so indifferent. Others may not agree with Hiroshi Akabane's decision, but they will never offend a long-established director for the sake of a fledgling newcomer, no matter how sympathetic Lin Hai is, no matter how good his performance is, in the end it can only become a conversation at the dinner table.
The dispute was also over, and seeing that the other party was still unmoved, Lin Hai said: "Since this is the case, I will leave." ”
Lin Hai walked to the door and was about to open the door when Akabane Bo suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Lin Hai turned around and asked, "Is there anything else with Director Akabane?"
Akabane Bo shouted Lin Hai, which was a completely knee-jerk reaction.
He is a director and a businessman, and from the standpoint of a businessman, he really doesn't want to miss a good seedling like Lin Hai.
Compared with the word-of-mouth, ratings or money of the work, what is the value of face?
……
The person shouted, but what to do next, Akabane Hiroshi felt very embarrassed.
Directly change your words, isn't that a slap in the face?
Chiyu Bo racked his brains and said in a hurry: "Regarding the matter of you scolding Director Chen Kaige, don't you plan to defend it?"
After saying that, he began to work on the abdomen. Educate the other party to respect the elderly, and then come to the sentence "This matter can be big or small, you should take it as a warning", so as to reflect your own generosity. As for Chen Kaige, although he is much higher than him, he is a foreign director after all, and it seems unreasonable to make things difficult for an outsider......
He was thinking about it when Lin Hai spoke.
"I don't know where Director Akabane heard about it. Lin Hailang said: "When I communicated with Director Chen Kaige, I spoke Chinese, and it was understandable that the reporters couldn't understand the nonsense, but I definitely didn't scold him, but I was a little emotional when I communicated." ”
"Do you know Chinese?" asked Nanako Matsushima curiously.
"I speak not only Chinese, but also English, French, Italian and Spanish. ”
Lin Hai started Tai Chi, he didn't want to reveal his Chinese identity for the time being-it was difficult to explain how an orphan could know the nationality of his parents, and put such a thing as an abandoned baby on his own head for no reason, which would be even more smearing the face of the Chinese people-as for saying it quickly in Cannes, few people should have understood it at that time.
Let's have a headache in the future.
Akabane Hiroshi was surprised by Lin Hai's answer, and subconsciously asked, "How do you prove it?"
He actually believed.
At that time, there were so many people, it was impossible for Lin Hai to open his eyes and talk nonsense, and whether it was Takeda Shinji or his friends who asked for verification, they didn't say what Lin Hai said specifically, I'm afraid it wasn't negligence, but they didn't understand it at all.
"How to prove it?" Lin Hai asked rhetorically, took out his mobile phone, and said: "I have Director Chen Kaige's phone number in my mobile phone, you can ask him directly." In addition, there was also the filmmaker Mr. Jing Seki, who knew Chinese and could also testify for me. If that's not enough......"
Lin Hai paused for a moment and said: "Director Chen's movie should be released in Japan next year, you can understand when you look at the production list at that time." ”
"What do you mean?" Akabane Hiroshi was slow to react, not understanding what Lin Hai meant.
Lin Hai said it generously-
"I'm going to star in a new film directed by Chen Kaige, and I'm also the screenwriter of that film. ”
"What ??????"
One of them stood up, their mouths wide open, as if they had met Godzilla during a walk.
"You said screenwriter!" Satoru Nakajima cried out, "How is this possible?!"
Lin Hai was silent.
Make you look down on people, and you have to force me to slap my face, is it cool?
……
Chi Yu Bo looked at Lin Hai in despair, this young man who had been criticized by him as useless before, but now he seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.
Has there ever been a director in Japan who has won the Palme d'Or? Yes.
Sadanosuke Kinugasa, Shohei Imamura and Akira Kurosawa have all won the award, with Akira Kurosawa winning the Oscars and three major film festivals.
But these have nothing to do with him Akabane Hiroshi.
Chen Kaige can't be compared to Akira Kurosawa, but he is also an existence that countless directors need to look up to, including Hiroshi Akabane.
This great director, whom he can only look up to, actually asked Lin Hai to be his screenwriter?
No, not only screenwriters.
Just worried about being shocked by the "screenwriter", thinking about it carefully, Lin Hai also said that he would "star". Of course, the actors are not as shocked as the screenwriter, but - I was still questioning Lin Hai's acting skills just now......?
Akabane Hiroshi's face was on fire, and he wanted to cry without tears: "Why didn't you mention it just now?"
Lin Hai said innocently: "After all, it's a film that hasn't been filmed, so it's not good to use it to put gold on your face?"
You reload!
Akabane Hiroshi felt that his face for the rest of his life had been lost today, he slumped in his chair and said astringently, "I...... No problem, what do you think?"
Of course, others are even more fine, after all, they are not the ones who were slapped in the face.
Except for Hiroshi Akabane, the others were more excited after the shock. Especially a few people from Kansai TV, their hearts are even more happy, Lin Hai's topicality is too beneficial to the promotion of the TV series!
Adopt, must adopt!
The man from Kansai TV glanced at Satoru Nakajima, who nodded knowingly, coughed lightly, and said to Lin Hai: "What happened before ......"
Satoru Nakajima wanted to say, "Please don't take the previous things to heart", but before he could say anything, Hiroshi Akabane, who was sitting in a chair, suddenly preemptively said-
"I'm sorry for what happened before!"
can become the president of a production company from scratch, and Hiroshi Akabane is also a person who can afford to let go.
The horizontal face has been lost, Akabane Bo simply stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Hai: "I misbelieved other people's words and misunderstood you, I'm really sorry!"
"Director Akabane doesn't have to be like this. Lin Hai seemed to forget the unhappiness just now, and said with a smile: "It's good that the misunderstanding is solved." ”
Hiroshi Akabane was ready to accept the other party's cynicism, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to expose it, and he didn't even ask who spread the rumors. This made his perception of Lin Hai take a 180-degree turn - this kid is really good!
The angle of looking at people has changed, and naturally the more you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes, and even the embarrassment of being slapped in the face was thrown aside by Akabane Bo.
……
To say that Lin Hai has no resentment in his heart, it is impossible. However, firstly, Akabane Bo was also misled, and secondly, the two of them had to get along later, and at this time, greedy for pleasure would only leave people with the impression of being rude.
Note that it is a courtesy, not a reason.
In the eyes of others, an old-timer who is almost fifty bows and apologizes to the newcomer, and no matter how much grudge there is, it should be exposed, otherwise even if you take advantage of it, it will be a serious faux pas.
And once he is labeled as "rude", Lin Hai doesn't want to mix in the entertainment industry.
It can be seen from this that Shinji Takeda's intentions are so vicious!
……
Lin Hai left the last fig leaf for Akabane Bo, and Chiba Bo was moved, so he directly took out a form and handed it to Lin Hai, saying, "Please fill out the form, leave the contact information of the firm, and the salary will be discussed with your agent." ”
"Well, I haven't joined the firm yet," Lin Hai said a little embarrassed, "but I have an agent." ”
"That's ......" Akabane Hiroshi scratched his head and said, "Anyway, you fill in what you can first, remember to leave the contact information of the agent." In terms of the firm, I can give you some recommendations, it's up to you whether to join, but I think it's better to join the firm, although you can also engage in acting as an individual, but after all, it is inconvenient and there is no security......"
That's true.
Young artists always feel that the agency is too ruthless, but they forget the convenience and protection provided by the agency. Reliable firms are not only responsible for the training and performance of artists, but also provide a variety of services such as publicity, packaging, legal advice, crisis public relations, etc., and some even include housekeeping services, in order to let artists focus on their own duties and not be distracted by messy things.
These are especially important for young artists. Many low-cost film and television dramas require artists to bring their own costumes, and if they leave the office, they will make more money than they have not posted.
"I will determine the problem of the firm as soon as possible. ”
Lin Hai quickly filled out the form, except for the "role" column.
"Why don't you fill this in?" Hiroshi Akabane asked, pointing to the space.
"I was about to confirm with the director. ”
"No need to confirm. Akabane Hiroshi smiled: "Do you think I can't see that your target is Kikuchi Yoshito?
Lin Hai smiled, filled in the blanks, and handed it to Akabane Bo: "Please give me a lot of advice next!"
After getting the role, Lin Hai didn't want to stay and be interrogated, so he said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." To tell you the truth, I'm starving. ”
"I almost forgot that you just flew back from France," Hiroshi Akabane said with concern, "I still have work ahead, so I can't invite you to dinner, or I'll arrange someone to ...... with you."
"Thanks, no need, my agent has arranged it. ”
"Well, that's good. Akabane Hiroshi said again: "You come here by Shinkansen, I will ask someone to rent a car for you, it will be inconvenient for you to save ......."
"That'...... It's going to trouble the director. ”
Lin Hai looked at Akabane Bo who was smiling like a flower, and thought to himself what it means to be a former and a backward respect, this is it.
