Chapter 205: Hot Search (2/6)
"Sometimes, when you watch a movie, you are too focused on the plot or story, but in fact, the essence of the movie is drama, not story!"
“… No, I don't mean that the story of "Shadow" is bad, on the contrary, the plot is very good, and it is very commercial, and the beginning and end of the story are very commercial. ”
"However, its shell, its expression, is very literary. The main colors of black and white and high-grade gray, Tai Chi diagram, Go, divination, and ink and blue landscapes, show the taste of China. ”
"I like this kind of movie very much, in fact, the biggest reason why I like Zhang Yimou's movies is because his movies are not boring!"
“… There will be cooperation next. ”
"The biggest surprise? Seriously, I didn't expect Zheng Kai to act so well, maybe I watched too much of "Running Man"..."
Zheng Kai plays King Pei, the complexity of the role itself is not high, so it is not a role that really tests his acting skills, but in the only few scenes, Zheng Kai really managed to retract and release freely, and his line skills are very solid!
Although the limbs are too staged, they are a little too wide to open and close, but at least the tension comes out.
Lao Mouzi's level of training actors is really not covered!
It can also be seen that Lao Mouzi still admires Zheng Kai very much, otherwise there are so many actors in "The Great Wall", but they found Zheng Kai to continue to cooperate in "Shadow".
Why do you want to blow Zheng Kai?
Because he's standing right next to him...
After the business blew each other, Zhang Yimou walked over and patted Shen Ming on the shoulder: "Your English is so good!"
“… Director, I'm a Hollywood guy!"
"Haha... I heard that La La Land is very good?"
"Well, the media reviews are okay. ”
"Keep it up..."
Shen Minggang wanted to introduce Milk Xiao to Zhang Yimou, who had already left...
"Will Director Zhang Yimou not like me?"
“… Sun Li's head is so big, she can appear on the big screen, you are more suitable for movies than her!"
It just so happened that Zheng Kai came over, and when he heard Shen Ming so 'relieved' his girlfriend, he couldn't help but interject: "I will tell Sun Li this as it is." ”
“… Brother Kai!"
"How's it going, this movie?"
"Awesome!"
“… Let's be honest!"
"The advantage is that it is very similar to landscape painting, the visual effects are amazing, different from the Hollywood narrative structure, whether it is the sound and painting construction, the play, it presents a kind of Chinese meaning and blank space, which is definitely above the level!"
This is not deliberately touted, "Shadow" is indeed a bit anti-Hollywood, if this story adopts a grand narrative, it can also be done, just add a few more wars, Lao Mouzi is very restrained.
While ensuring the writing skills and routines of the narrative of genre films, the director adds what he is interested in, reverses the genre, subtracts, makes the pattern smaller, and does things that have not been tried before.
It is rare for an old man who is nearly seventy years old to have such an enterprising mind!
Zheng Kai nodded, and then asked, "What about the shortcomings?"
“… The second half is a bit rushed, and Wu Lei's lines make me a little dramatic!"
"It can't be helped, he hasn't acted in many movies, he's done his best..."
……
Many young actors are the same, especially the ones who became famous early.
has been up and down in the circle for a long time, blinded by praise, has not been proficient in the sharpening of acting skills, and has been relying on the reputation and resources accumulated in the past, but this kind of praise is easy to be exhausted.
Wu Lei's audience has a lot of favorability, but his acting skills really need to be honed!
But what is worrying is that fans will still be overwhelming and unexplained to praise his amazing acting skills, which is fatal to many young actors - not in a relatively objective and fair environment, it is difficult for him to complete his judgment through external reflections.
My sister can say, 'As long as you live a down-to-earth life, you can do whatever you have to do, and you can naturally experience joys, sorrows, and sorrows from it, so I'm not in a hurry about acting.'" ’
Down-to-earth and serious life!
Obviously, you can rely on appearance, why rely on strength?
Just look good!
People were originally mixed in the entertainment industry and became stars, but they didn't characterize themselves as actors!
I love to see, I don't look at pulling down, and I don't ask you to see
'Performing artist'?
It's just talking, I never set up a person for myself!
……
On September 15, the crew of "La La Land" quietly left Venice, and Shen Ming led Cheng Xiao to meet Kerry Fuyong.
In the drama "Maniac", Emma Stone and Carey Fukunaga are both producers.
And comparatively speaking, Emma Stone's rights are a little bigger than Carey Fukunaga, after all, the latter's fame is limited to the TV drama circle...
Therefore, Emma said that Cheng Xiao is suitable, then she is suitable!
Basically, you don't need to audition, just go through the process...
Carey Fukunaga started as a photographer, and later became a director and screenwriter himself, tossed three movies, and finally felt that he was not suitable for making movies, so he joined HBO, wrote, directed, and produced the American drama "True Detective Season 1", which is the drama where Matthew Maconnor became a god!
All at once opened up the situation!
HBO is a television station owned by Warner Bros. Pictures, and last year Warner Bros. asked him to write "Return of the Joker", which cost $35 million to produce and grossed $700 million worldwide, with more than $320 million in North America.
Kerry Funiga is not willing to be only a TV series director and screenwriter, and this year he drummed up a "Noble Assassin", which was sparse at the box office...
Now that he is returning to the TV drama circle, he urgently needs to replenish his blood.
Emma Stone can promise to star, of course he has to hug his thighs!
Emma Stone + Carey Fukunaga, the project "Maniac" belongs to Netflix's direct booking, and a one-time payment is given for one season...
The role of Milk Xiao belongs to artificial intelligence robots, which runs throughout, has a lot of scenes, and the salary is about $200,000 per episode.
200,000 US dollars, ten episodes of TV series, and a pre-tax income of 2 million US dollars, which is not as much as half of the income she earned from participating in a variety show in China, mainly to open up the drama road in North America...
Shen Ming was surprised that Carey Fukunaga seemed to be very interested in him and invited him to join "007: No Death", of course, it was impossible to play James Bond, and wanted him to play the anti-No. 1.
Of course, the project is still in the plan, the script has not been decided, the salary has not been discussed, and it should not be started for the time being...
After the audition, the team sent the message back home.
Immediately, the press release and hot search arrangements were on:
"Cheng Xiao joins the American drama "Maniac", International Xiao is just around the corner!", "Cheng Xiao joins forces with Emma Stone, Netflix locks in the next season", "True Detective" director Ctrip Xiao, Emma Stone, and Jonah Hill create "Maniac""
Then, the fans boiled: win glory for the country!
Break into Hollywood with your strength!
Of course, there are also sensible fans: work hard and strive to come up with good works;
Many passers-by couldn't stand it anymore, and said sourly: It's not relying on Shen Ming's connections!
Fans directly scolded: People rely on their boyfriends to provoke you?
