Chapter 166: Lu Yu's Day Tour (Part II)
This episode will be cut into two episodes and broadcast, so Lu Yu needs to say some narration:
"I don't watch many dramas, I watch more movies, because it takes a lot of time to watch a TV series..."
"Shen Ming, what impresses me the most should be the warden in "Slaying the Wolf 2", it's hard to imagine that a young man can fight against Wu Jing and Tony Jia without falling behind!"
"They said 'Nightcrawler' was good, and I haven't seen it yet because it's not released yet... But I watched the trailer, and he was very thin, not at all like the character in "Kill the Wolf 2", and for that alone, I think he has won a lot of young actors!"
"..."Glory of the Tang Dynasty" should cause a discussion next year, their costumes and props are very professional, and the actors' attitude is also very good, let's ask Shen Ming at night..."
……
At five fifty, Shen Ming got off work.
Of course, the crew continued to shoot, although Li Jiao is the absolute protagonist, not all the scenes revolve around him.
After all, the fifty episodes of the drama all revolve around Li Jiao, which is not realistic!
When Shen Ming arrived at the hotel, Lu Yu had already set up the food and red wine...
“… I don't drink alcohol when I'm shooting. ”
"It's okay, let's just have a drink or two and spit out the truth after drinking!"
“… Okay, two glasses... I want to go up and get my makeup off. ”
Brother Ming is still dressed in ancient costumes!
Lu Yu motioned to the staff to follow: "Do you wear makeup every day when filming costume dramas?"
"It's so uncomfortable to sleep with makeup, I'd rather get up half an hour earlier and put on makeup than sleep with makeup..."
Entering Shen Ming's room, Shen Ming sat down, and the makeup artist began to help remove makeup...
Lu Yu asked, "Is this your first time acting in a costume play?"
“… It's not counting, when I used to play the role of a eunuch or father-in-law, I had to put on makeup. ”
"The Promotion of the Crown Princess" is also a costume drama. ”
Shen Ming replied casually, but it is estimated that the perch doesn't know...
After all, when I interviewed Hu Ge, I didn't even watch "Lang Bang"...
"I've always been curious, why did you suddenly pick up the TV series?"
“… It's not sudden, the script of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" was handed over to me in June this year, and I didn't want to act at first, but the script is really not bad, and the rival actors are all experienced and good actors..."
"Including Jing Tian?"
"Of course, I have been acting with her for several days, I really don't think her acting skills are bad, but her eyes are very playful, and I don't know why the Internet has such a big opinion about her!"
"I didn't see her today..."
"She filmed Group B today, and she didn't play with me, Mr. Wang Jinsong only signed for 40 days, and I have to shoot with him as soon as possible. ”
……
"Can you feel yourself famous?"
“… Of course, as you can see, when we were filming, a lot of fans surrounded the crew..."
"And what about the fans?"
“… The agent also gave me a lot of scripts, and there were several projects where their prices were scary!"
"Can you elaborate on that?"
Shen Ming picked up the goblet and took a sip: "There is a project called "Entrepreneurial Era", with a price of 80 million, but I didn't go, because the heroine is recognized as having poor acting skills..."
"Who is it?"
"I can't really say that. ”
"Haha..."
Lu Yu smiled and raised his glass to toast.
"Let's talk about "Nightcrawler", you read the script at the time, how did you feel?"
"Shocked, I didn't think the script could be written like this, it was dark to the end, it was very deep, of course, what was even more shocking was that such a movie could be released in the mainland!"
"What do you mean?"
"If "Nightcrawler" is a purely Chinese-language movie, it is estimated that it will not even be able to pass the province, let alone be released!
Examining this kind of thing, there is really no standard at all, "Resident Evil" can be released, but zombie movies are not allowed in the mainland...
Where do you make sense?
"Hehe... So how do you think you're acting?"
This kind of unspeakable thing, Lu Yu didn't want to say more, and forcibly changed the topic...
"It's okay, the protagonist Louis is the kind of person who lacks emotion, he is only interested in what he is interested in, paranoid, in order to succeed, he does a lot of things that ordinary people dare not imagine, he is not a normal human being, he does not have human empathy, so, he dares to do many things... Well, when creating a character, I use a mechanical tone and a blank face, such a person will be out of place with his surroundings, and his profession is shooting at night, so he is very thin and his eye sockets are a little bulging..."
"I heard that you lost 18 pounds for this play?"
"Yes, it's not for this play, it's for the character of Louis, if an actor wants to enter the character, he must first live as a character, then I can't use the image of "Slaying the Wolf 2" to play "Nightcrawler"..."
"Are you happy to be nominated for a BAFTA Award?"
"Of course I'm happy, after all, I have also suffered a lot for this role, nomination is recognition, and the British Academy Film Awards are not pheasant awards, there is still gold content!"
"Do you think you can win the prize?"
“… Probably unlikely, "Manchester by the Sea" includes Eddie Redmayne's "The Theory of Everything", and the odds are too big, and I guess "Nightcrawler" should win a screenplay award. ”
"What about the Oscars? Do you think you'll get a nomination?"
“… It's hard to say, there are so many good movies this year!"
It's not hard to say, it's not a joke at all...
"It seems that North America was released first?"
"Yes, it will be released on October 31st... Yesterday, Dan Gilroy told me about the box office of "Nightcrawler" in North America, the box office of the first weekend was $10.5 million, and the final box office should be $30 million, which is already very good, after all, the investment is less than $5 million!"
Lu Yu changed the topic again: "You don't seem to be willing to make IP dramas?"
“… It's not that I don't want to, the scripts of most of the IP dramas now, like magic, fantasy, fairy tales and the like, their fictional worlds, can't convince me at all, I'm a fan of online novels, I've read a lot of online articles, most of the IP dramas that come to me, I've read the original work, I can't accept that the original work has been changed like that..."
Taking a sip of red wine, Shen Ming continued: "The most important thing is that I don't lack scripts, I don't lack money, there is no need to ruin my reputation!"
Lu Yu nodded: "Then what do you think you lack the most at the moment?"
Shen Ming thought for a while and replied: "Lack of life, from my debut to the present, I have been filming, I have been filming, life is seriously lacking, that string is too tight! From the second half of next year, I must give myself a vacation, at least three months off..."
"It's too tight, and the agent doesn't give you time to rest?"
"No, a lot of the scripts are my own favorite, in fact, they want me to take on more commercial activities... That's a quicker way to get money!"
"Mind talking about your salary?"
“… Don't mind it, what's there to mind about this, I have to pay taxes every year, and I can find out!"
"What is your salary for "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"?"
"500,000 per episode, after tax..."
"So much?"
"It's not much, it's about the same grade as me now, at least 800,000 yuan!"
