Chapter 142: The End and Regrets

Feng Xiaogang was interviewed on stage, and Shen Ming got up and prepared to leave.

He thought about going back to sleep for a while, he was too sleepy, he was so excited last night that he didn't sleep much all night, and he was chatting with Kominsky...

Yang Xin grabbed him: "Don't leave yet, let's go see Director Feng later!"

β€œβ€¦ Is it appropriate?"

"Why is it inappropriate, he likes you a lot!"

"No, I've got five film contracts on me, do you think I have time?"

β€œβ€¦ Let's talk first, time is squeezed out!"

"Sister Yang, "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea" were all filmed in Africa, how can you squeeze it?"

β€œβ€¦ It's a good opportunity, "Fanghua"..."

"I've had enough opportunities..."

Shen Ming really doesn't want to cooperate with Feng Xiaogang, for no other reason, the schedule is over...

If you take "Fanghua", you will have to spare at least a few months...

But he really can't vacate it, and none of the film appointments he has in hand now are what he wants to give up.

Wang Zhonglei walked over: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Wang, congratulations, "Pan Jinlian" is very good!"

"Thank you!" Wang Zhonglei looked at Shen Ming: "Xiao Shen, do you know "Garland Under the Mountain"?"

β€œβ€¦ I've heard my dad mention it, but I haven't seen it..."

day, I can't talk anymore!

Wang Zhonglei originally wanted to say that if you like 'Zhao Mengsheng' or 'Liang Sanxi', then you must like "Fanghua"...

simply changed the topic: "Have you seen all the plays directed by Xiaogang?"

β€œβ€¦ I've seen it all. ”

"And which character do you like?"

"I really like the harrier Longwu in "Guanzhong Swordsman", he has clear grievances and knows how to repay his kindness!"

Wang Zhonglei didn't know how to pick it up...

In the "Guanzhong Swordsman" series, Feng Xiaogang directed one, but most of the time he served as the art director, and hung his name, probably to sell money.

Yang Xin rolled his eyes and came forward to explain: "Mr. Wang, don't hide it, Xiao Shen's schedule is full, and he now has five film appointments on him..."

Wang Zhonglei glanced at Shen Ming, and suddenly said: "Five film appointments? Actually, the schedule is not absolute, and now many actors are filming several dramas at the same time, which is normal." ”

"I can't do this, I can only act in one play at the same time, otherwise, my brain is easy to mess up..."

Shen Ming said honestly.

Yang Xin smiled: "Okay, you go out first, it is estimated that Dan Gilroy should be looking for you, "Nightcrawler", you have to go to the show!"

……

Actually, I broke it down and said that you didn't officially invite you to the casting of "Fanghua", and I didn't nod in agreement, so there was nothing wrong with it, it just made people lose face.

Feng Xiaogang's new film!

How many people want to spend money, but they can't find a way, and you are a newcomer who refuses?

Yang Xin was worried that Shen Ming's continued talk might cause Wang Zhonglei's unhappiness...

Yes, Brother Ming doesn't need to look at Hua Yi's eyes for the film he is receiving now, and Qiancheng Film and Television has its own resource channel.

However, Huayi is one of the giants after all, and their means of pouring black water and controlling comments are very powerful!

It's better not to provoke!

……

Shen Ming is familiar with all kinds of things in Toronto, No. 9 participated in the screening of "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", No. 10 is "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic", and No. 11 also has a Sino-foreign joint venture "The Birth of the Dragon"...

With his performance in "Nightcrawler", many foreigners recognized him anyway, and people called his name everywhere.

Frankly speaking, Huayi still has something!

At least people are quite familiar with the process of the screening, the length of the red carpet, the arrangement of guest seats, the official interview before the screening, and the press release after the event...

These need to be arranged by the producer!

In the past few days, Shen Ming has been mostly talking about the project - Yang Xin is talking about the project, and he is following...

Of course, there are good movies, and the screening unit gathers films from more than 100 countries around the world, and Brother Ming really can't be interested.

The only thing I was interested in was "Advent", two hours, after coming out, Shen Ming was a little confused, he... He found that he didn't understand...

I really didn't understand it, I always felt like "Roadside Picnic", and I praised it well, but I was in the clouds, and I didn't know what I wanted to express...

β€œβ€¦ Shen Ming, the script of "Dallas Buyers Club" is so good, I think you can play it!"

Shen Ming resolutely refused: "No, I really accept transvestism as incompetent!"

He read the script of "Dallas Buyers Club", and then, at Kominsky's advice, invested $2 million, and Yang Xin invested another $3.5 million...

Get ready to go the prize route...

When the time comes, it will be sold to a distribution company.

If you act, I can guarantee that an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor will not run!"

Kominsky continued to exhort...

β€œβ€¦ I still want to play a normal person!"

"You're so naΓ―ve, Oscar prefers self-injurious actors..."

"That's Oscar's problem!"

The shortcut to winning an Oscar is to play someone with a physical defect.

For example, Dustin Hoffman ("Rain Man"), Al Pacino ("Smell a Woman"), Tom Hanks ("Forrest Gump"), etc., whether it is a golden rule or not, but it shows one point: if you want to stand out among many good acting players, subverting your appearance and making yourself "abnormal" is a way worth trying.

The male number two in "Dallas Buyers Club", gay transvestite AIDS people...

Proper prize rushing.

Brother Ming doesn't have any prejudice against this kind of person...

Well, he just can't accept himself playing such a role!

Kominsky sighed: "Okay, since you insist!"

Shen Ming didn't care, he said his thoughts: "I think "District 9" has a chance!"

"District 9" is too much like "Metamorphosis"...

If the acting is good, Brother Ming feels that he can win an Oscar!

"Hehe..."

Kominsky almost didn't laugh.

A sci-fi film that won the Oscar for Actor?

……

Kominsky is just Shen Ming's guide, and Shen Ming is unwilling to do many things, so he will no longer persuade him.

On the 13th, the Toronto Film Festival came to an end.

In the main competition unit, the People's Choice Award was announced, and not surprisingly, "Room" won the first place;

"Nightcrawler" took second place...

It's a pity, but Dan Gilroy is already satisfied, and after Toronto, he will compete at the Gotham Independent Film Festival with "Nightcrawler".

He's relaxed.

Really, it hasn't been released yet, and the overseas rights of "Nightcrawler" have ensured that the film is profitable, and he is now traveling lightly and doesn't have to bear additional box office pressure!

You must know that the reason why this script has been polished for seven years is because many people are not optimistic about its box office performance!

With the success of "Nightcrawler", Dan Gilroy's next work will cost at least tens of millions of dollars, in fact, Legendary Pictures is already looking at him, and if all goes well, his next work will be "King Kong: Skull Island"...

By the way, "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" also won an international film critics special award.

At the same time, Shen Ming returned to China to participate in the celebration of the box office of "Kill the Wolf 2" breaking 800 million...
