Chapter 750: Departure Ceremony
Under the supervision and encouragement of Lin Xiaoguang, in late October, the screenwriting team of Light Pictures finally completed the third draft of "Detective Chinatown 2".
In other words, the second "Detective Chinatown" continues the character and plot of the previous part, mainly about Qin Feng receiving Tang Ren's invitation to come to New York to attend his wedding with Ah Xiang.
Unexpectedly, "Wedding" is the World Famous Detective Contest that Tang Ren participated in for a huge prize money, and the content of the competition is to find the murderer of the grandson of the godfather of Chinatown, the seventh uncle......
Everyone knows that Lin Xiaoguang has always been very strict with the script, if it weren't for the story content of "Detective Chinatown 2" that met the requirements in his mind and could justify himself, he would never have rashly prepared a new movie.
After the script of "Detective Chinatown 2" was determined, Lin Xiaoguang began to plan and discuss the schedule and salary with Huang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran.
This is the case, since Lin Xiaoguang has decided to create a "Chinatown Detective Universe", he must not replace the protagonist at will, and must be played by the original cast.
And the twin protagonists of Tang Ren and Qin Feng must still be played by Huang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran in person.
Liu Haoran's schedule is actually okay, although he became popular with "Detective Chinatown", he basically rarely takes on dramas, and his team has always cherished his feathers, and wants to find him to shoot "Detective Chinatown 2", there is no problem with salary and schedule at all.
As for Huang Baoqiang, a first-line star like him, even if Lin Xiaoguang wants to cooperate with him, he must make an appointment with Huang Baoqiang half a year in advance, otherwise he will not be able to arrange his schedule at all.
For example, some time ago, about last month, Huang Baoqiang was officially invited by "Where Are You Going, Dad 3" to participate in the fifth to sixth stations.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoguang took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Huang Baoqiang.
Just then, the phone rang......
"Hello?"
"Brother Xiaoguang, I'm Baoqiang. ”
"Oh, it's Baoqiang, I just wanted to find you. ”
"Haha, you're looking for me too? What are you looking for me? Is the script for "Detective Chinatown 2" already written?"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's already written, I think it will be started in March next year, I want to ask you if you have a schedule?"
Huang Baoqiang on the other end of the phone hesitated for a while, and then said apologetically: "Brother Xiaoguang, I'm really sorry, there is something I want to ...... I want to tell you that I ...... I decided to make my own movie next year......"
Because Huang Baoqiang had told him before that he had the idea of becoming a director, even if Lin Xiaoguang was unhappy, he could only accept this fact and support him to fulfill this wish.
In this way, "Detective Chinatown 2" will not start filming until 2017 at the earliest, and as for the Spring Festival in 2017, they will definitely not be able to catch up.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoguang sighed silently, but still asked with concern: "Baoqiang, what movie are you planning to make next?"
Huang Baoqiang said mysteriously: "Brother Xiaoguang, you asked me to sell it first, which is why I called you this time." ”
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and quipped: "Baoqiang, what kind of movie are you going to make? So mysterious?
Huang Baoqiang said with a smile: "Hehe, you will know in a few days, I also want to invite you to participate in the departure ceremony of my new movie, you are my good brother, you must go and cheer me on." ”
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, Baoqiang, as long as there is nothing serious, I will definitely arrive." ”
October 28th, afternoon.
Huang Baoqiang's first film "Havoc in Tianzhu" was held in Shaojing City, and a grand departure ceremony was held.
I saw that at the ceremony, the five major directors who had cooperated with Huang Baoqiang, Chen Kaige, Lin Xiaoguang, Feng Xiaogang, Han Jie, Li Yang, and Cao Baoping appeared one by one.
At the departure ceremony, Huang Baoqiang was wearing white clothes and black pants, and it was rare to see long hair.
In addition, Huang Baoqiang also took a few pages of manuscripts, in front of the national media reporters present, and five directors, claiming to be a director trainee, affectionately recounting his journey of wanting to be a director, saying that he also wanted to "tell his own story" like the directors who had helped him.
"Fourteen years ago, I was squatting under a big tree at the gate of Beijing Film Studio, waiting to be picked by the group and play tricks for the crew. At that time, most people looked at my situation and thought, Huang Baoqiang, you don't look like an actor.
"Actually, I ......" Huang Baoqiang paused, and then continued: "I think so too!"
"In the past 14 years, some things have happened, and I am very happy that everyone has watched them together.
In 2003, a director named Li Yang selected me to star in "Blind Well", and later, I was fortunate to win the Golden Horse Award for Best New Actor.
The seniors of the organizing committee said that I must be the lowest-looking winner in history.
In 2004, a director named Feng Xiaogang selected me to star in "No Thieves in the World".
In 2011, someone called me Mr. Shu, thanks to director Han Jie.
In 2012, the audience began to call me baby, which is the credit of director Xiaoguang.
In 2015, I thought to myself, now, I should be an actor.
In the past 14 years, I have tried my best to play every role well, and there is one thing that has been hidden in my heart, and until today, I am a little embarrassed and want to tell you
So I said it...... Said it.......
Yes......
I want to be a director. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Baoqiang still couldn't hold back, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, after saying this, I feel like I went back to fourteen years ago, and many friends reacted the same way as fourteen years ago......
Huang Baoqiang, you don't look like a director.
So why should I be a director?
Because there is a story buried in my heart for a long time, I want to express it, it is a comedy, and there is kung fu, as much as possible for all ages, and at the same time it has to be inspirational.
Three years ago, after "Thai Embarrassment", a filmmaker asked me to shoot it, but at that time I felt that I was not ready, and I was really afraid of messing it up, so I refused.
Moreover, I can't hold it back, so I really want to tell you about it.
As an actor, I help others tell their stories, this time telling my own stories.
The experience of being an actor naturally helps me, and I am trying to understand the crew, understand kung fu, and understand how to be more funny.
At Director Xiaoguang's place, I learned how to solve troubles when filming abroad, and how to tell a story with reversals. At the director of Kai Ge, learn how to go to the heart of the characters......
Follow all the photography, lighting, props, and costume teachers to learn how to make each link not go wrong, and the final shot can be called a movie.
I'm stupid and studied for fourteen years.
Or because I'm stupid, I'm going to put down all the drama appointments from today onwards and just do this one thing.
Today, the national media teachers are here, and I promise that I will do my best to overcome all kinds of difficulties, and I promise that I will play my best to shoot the best story in my heart.
I promise to live up to the teachers, audiences, and you who have accompanied you along the way.
In 2015, I want to be stronger, I am a student, Huang Baoqiang. ”
