Chapter 1099: Promise Fulfilled
As a representative of the New Wave of directors, Yan Hao likes to shoot films that reflect people's hearts.
After Tang Shuxuan called him, after he got the script of "The Year of Water", he only watched it for three days and agreed to shoot this movie.
He was still a little dissatisfied with Yin Jun's desire to let Zhao Yazhi play the role of Zhang Shanshan, the wife of the couple.
It's not that Zhao Yazhi can't do it, but Zhao Yazhi's temperament is a little mismatched with Zhang Shanshan, Yan Hao doesn't know if Zhao Yazhi can perform the taste of a small citizen.
He actually tends to ask Zheng Yuling to play, preferably Lin Fengjiao from Treasure Island.
But this film is obviously going to be filmed in the mainland, so Lin Hejing must not come, and Zheng Yuling's words ...... For the sake of Yin Jun's guarantee of 5 million Hong Kong dollars for filming and his promise not to interfere in the selection of the heroine Ah Zhen, Yan Hao will not consider others.
At the beginning, Yan Hao also opened his mouth, the husband in Zhao Ya's play should be Zhou Runfa to act, Zhou Runfa can't come, and Huang Yuanshen can too.
Yin Jun laughed when he heard it, do you dare to ask Zheng Shaoqiu to come again?
Later, Yan Hao knew that his request was too exaggerated, so he chose Guo Feng to play the leading role in Kylin Satellite TV.
Guo Feng is one of the gold medal supporting roles of TVB in his previous life, Luo sir in "Ancient Detective", and the husband of the middle-aged version of Huang Rong, has not yet grown into the image of a middle-aged obscene uncle, and that honest atmosphere is a little similar to the male protagonist.
The heroine Ah Zhen, sure enough, did not make Yin Jun wait for a long time, Yan Hao, who is very researched by mainland actors, directly named Siqin Haowa.
He also knew that Siqin Haowa's appearance would make Yin Jun very difficult, because if "Years Like Water" wants to be released, Baodao, the base camp of literary films, must be the top priority at the box office.
If Siqin Haowa, a mainlander, participates in the performance, the treasure island market will definitely not be able to enter, and if the treasure island market is lost, I am afraid it will be difficult to even return to the capital.
But Yan Hao thinks that Siqin Haowa's image and acting skills, as well as her life background, can be matched with Ah Zhen, if there is no Siqin Haowa's interpretation, I'm afraid this movie can't be so brilliant.
Yin Jun already knew the trajectory of "Years Like Water", but he didn't agree at first, but asked Yan Hao to be replaced.
In the end, Yan Hao had a good opportunity, and even found Tang Shuxuan and Xu Anhua to intercede, but Yin Juncai pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.
This made Yan Hao a little embarrassed, thinking that Yin Jun was kind enough to find himself to make a movie, but he was going to lose money before filming started, which was really undeserved.
However, after all, he is a representative of the New Wave of cinema, and his own pursuit of film quality transcends the balance of commercial films.
As for the box office or something, let the people decide.
Tang Shuxuan also felt a little embarrassed that Yan Hao was so stubborn, but Yin Jun comforted her that it didn't matter, and gave her a big surprise.
"What? He really gave you a script? And said that even if you can't win the Oscar, there is hope for the Golden Globe?" Lin Qingxia, who was sitting in her apartment, dressed freshly and wearing only a sweater and jeans, poured a glass of water for Tang Shuxuan, who had just come over.
"You read the script first. Tang Shuxuan took the water cup, then handed over a notebook and said, "The NHL courier I received last night." ”
Lin Qingxia is also not polite, just take it and look at it.
"Mother and Daughter Love"?"
Reading this name, Lin Qingxia turned the first page.
She didn't get along with Yin Jun much, but she also clearly understood that this little man was definitely not a man of false words.
He said that there is hope for the Oscars and Golden Globes, that is, there is hope!
Because, he is the best talent in the world to write scripts!
A young woman like Lin Qingxia has always had a good impression of talented people.
Although this talented man seems to have some special feelings for himself, Lin Qingxia didn't take it to heart, the age difference between the two is 8 years, how is it possible?
Thoughts flashed, and Lin Qingxia's mind immediately entered the reading.
The story of "Mother and Daughter Love" is actually not complicated, Yin Jun has only written more than 20 manuscripts about this story, but there are more sub-shots and delicate descriptions in the back.
It basically tells the story of a mother and daughter's life.
A single mother raised her daughter from a young age, until her daughter got married and had children, and finally until her daughter fell ill and died, and finally the grandmother took responsibility for raising her grandchildren to grow up.
"The most important thing in this script should be the mother, right?" Lin Qingxia muttered, "Although the plot is simple, if you want to play a good role from a young mother to a middle-aged woman to a grandmother, this actress must have good acting skills, and she can't be too old, preferably around 40 years old, so that she can be at ease." ”
"If you had to choose, would you choose your daughter or your mother?" Tang Shuxuan suddenly asked.
"Me?"
Lin Qingxia was surprised, "Why is me?"
"It was Ah Jun who told me, and this script is not only tailor-made for me, but also written for you. Tang Shuxuan chuckled, "Guess which role he arranged for you?"
Lin Qingxia's brain spun rapidly.
The mother's requirements are too high, and it is better to have the image of a middle-aged woman to be suitable.
Although he is no longer young, he still can't grasp such an image.
Daughter?
The actor she needs should be in his twenties, so that she can perform a life around the age of 15 to 40.
Although I am 28 years old, I should have no problem challenging it, right?
"Daughter. Thinking of this, Lin Qingxia said it.
"Hehe, that's what I guessed. Tang Shuxuan chuckled again, "But he arranged the role of a mother for you." ”
"Mother!?"
Lin Qingxia's eyes widened, "How is this possible? she was in her twenties as soon as she appeared, and then the most important scene was around 40 years old, my appearance and age ......"
"Appearance and age can be changed by makeup techniques. Tang Shuxuan shook his hand, "The key is, do you have the confidence and preparation yourself?"
"I ......"
Lin Qingxia hesitated.
When she was young, she certainly didn't have the pressure of the role, but when she was around 40 years old and began to deal with her daughter's adolescent troubles, it would be a little difficult.
It's not about appearance, just like Tang Shuxuan said, this can be adjusted by makeup and dress.
The point is that she doesn't have this kind of mentality and experience.
How can you, a woman who has never been married and has not had children, have that feeling of being connected by flesh and blood, and how can you perform the essence of "mother-daughter love"?
If you don't act well, not only will you waste Yin Jun's script, but you will also be unhappy.
Ah Jun told me that if this script is all changed to be played by Americans, then it is very likely to win a Golden Globe Award or even an Oscar. Tang Shuxuan said, "But do you know why he insisted on letting me be the director, and you will play the mother?"
"Why?" Lin Qingxia didn't understand.
"Because Ah Jun's mind is very big!" Tang Shuxuan sighed and said, "I've known him for several years, and I always feel that he is doing something that others seem stupid. For example, now, with his family property, he can lie down and eat for a lifetime, several lifetimes, but he still resolutely took out a loan of 3.7 billion US dollars to buy Disney and United Arts Films.
Not many people know that he wants to use these two companies as a bridgehead and strive to spread Chinese culture. Others say that Ah Jun is pro-mainland, but I think that Ah Jun is pro-5,000 years of Chinese culture. Although it is difficult for him to make Chinese culture popular in this society dominated by white Europeans and Americans, he insists on doing it.
But Ah Jun never rushes forward, he is very patient. Although he gave you the heroine with the heaviest role in "Mother-Daughter Love", and the director was also me, he suggested that the rest of the actors should use Americans, which will greatly eliminate the resistance of Americans and have a good evaluation in Hollywood. ”
Lin Qingxia nodded, she has been in the United States for a year or two, and she understands many rules in Hollywood.
Yin Jun's first movie "Speed of Life and Death", the second male lead is also an American Eddie Murphy, which is still a movie made in Xiangjiang.
If you shoot in the United States, but all Chinese are used, then no one will see it when you enter the theater.
Of course, this is not to say that it will always be the case.
If you follow Yin Jun's plan, slowly advance step by step, and make persistent efforts, more people can understand and accept Chinese actors, and I think that Chinese movies in the future can also become an important force in Hollywood.
Not only in the movies, but also in Yin Jun's comics, they also reflect his idea of promoting Chinese film culture.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made his appearance as Laura from "Tomb Raider", and he wouldn't have made Zhong Chuhong's appearance as Alice from "Resident Evil".
Thinking of this little slippery head being so unscrupulous, Lin Qingxia felt a little itchy again.
"This is a very test of your ability, if you want to do it, let's start preparing!" Tang Shuxuan said, "If you don't want to, I can only contact other people." ”
"Let me try!"
Lin Qingxia, who was silent for a while, suddenly bit her silver teeth, "Let me give it a try! Although I haven't acted before, I am an actor, and I always have to make a decision to make myself improve! Well, I'll act!"
Tang Shuxuan smiled and patted her fragrant shoulder, "Okay, let's two sisters work together to see if this movie will really be like what he said, and become an existence that can win the Academy Awards and Oscars!"
Lin Qingxia's eyes were white, but she was not as optimistic as Tang Shuxuan: "It's okay for me to say that if you don't rest, you won't rest." But what about you? You have such a big clique to manage!"
"It doesn't matter, I've got a couple of right-hand men to help me take care of it, and nothing is a big problem. Tang Shuxuan said, "Besides, I wasn't involved in the management of specific affairs before, otherwise when I filmed "Happy Hotel" before, where would I have so much time?"
Lin Qingxia thought about it.
The elite professional manager system in the United States has been very perfect.
With Yin Jun making decisions in big decisions, and the senior executives of the company who have been running in at the bottom working hard, what Tang Shuxuan needs to do is only the role of supervision and jurisdiction, but he doesn't have to be so busy.
Merely......
It's just that a stinky boy like that, in addition to the affairs of Xiangjiang, has to think about the affairs of the United States, he must be very tired, right?
I really didn't know that such a young stinky boy would force himself to work so hard!
If you think about it carefully, such a man is really admirable!
