Chapter 121: Change
There are many controversies in performance theory, such as whether acting should start from the self or the role. Different factions often quarrel with each other because of different ideas. However, this kind of controversy is unlikely to have any results in a short period of time.
The same is true of the controversy between Zhang Ran and Bai Fanping. Of course, it's not impossible. The easiest way is for Zhang Ran to directly compete with Bai Fanping, and the winner will be determined at once. But in front of so many people, the loser will really be discredited.
Zhang Ran and Bai Fanping have no hatred, but they have different academic views, so there is no need to keep fighting.
Bai Fanping's suggestion is undoubtedly a very good idea, they are all teachers, whoever says something more reasonable will reflect it in the students, and whoever teaches the students better will have a more reasonable point of view.
If it was April or May, Zhang Ran would definitely not agree, but it would not matter in September. September is the second year of college, and the students start to arrange script clips, and it is a rare opportunity for them to participate in the sketch competition.
"Okay, it's decided, our class students will sign up for the sketch competition, and the good results will win. Zhang Ran said confidently, "I believe that the students in our class can achieve good results." ”
Zhang Ran is really confident in the students in the class, after half a year of training, the students' foundation is good, and the basic skills are quite solid, even compared with the sophomore students of Nortel. He had reason to believe that by September, the students in his class would be even better.
"Yes, it's best if you're confident. Bai Fanping sneered, "But the students in our class won't lose!"
Originally, the two classes planned to communicate after observation, but with this argument, neither side was interested in communicating. Bai Fanping took the students in the class to the other side of Monkey Mountain to observe, and out of sight was clear.
Zhang Ran was not idle, simulating a monkey while the students were conducting, he carefully patrolled, and reminded a few words from time to time.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ran announced the end of today's animal simulation class. When they came to the zoo, the girls in the class were clamoring to go to the wholesale market to buy clothes after observing, and Zhang Ran left them some time.
It is necessary for girls in the acting department to learn to dress up, after all, they will live in the spotlight in the future, and if they don't know how to dress and match, it will affect their image.
However, the taste of the girls in Zhang Ran's class is average, especially when they wear the most fashionable clothes of the year, it really makes people feel that they are blind, and they really can't stand it. In order to reduce the damage to his eyes, Zhang Ran specially advised: "Buy less fancy things, don't dress up like a parrot!"
As soon as Zhang Ran returned to school, Qiu Yuanxu came to the door. Qiu Yuanxu is not Huang Lei, he will come to Zhang Ran's office to chat, he must have something to do. Zhang Ran asked, "Director Qiu, what's wrong?"
Qiu Yuanxu glanced at the office and said in a deep voice: "Let's find a place to talk!"
Zhang Ran saw Qiu Yuanxu's solemn expression, nodded, and followed Qiu Yuanxu out of the school and found a café.
After sitting down by the window, Qiu Yuanxu looked at Zhang Ran and said with a solemn expression: "This morning, Zhang Zhiliang invited all the main creators of the crew to the hotel where he lived for a meeting!"
Zhang Ran was stunned, a cloud rose in his heart, Zhang Zhiliang was just a producer, he called all the main creators together for a meeting, and immediately asked: "Oh, what is he doing when he gathers everyone?"
Qiu Yuanxu said: "Talking about the script, he thinks there is a problem with the script, and comes up with a new script, the framework of the story is similar to "Burst Drummer", but the content is very different. ”
Since meeting Zhang Ran, Zhang Zhiliang suggested that Zhang Ran explore more in the depth of the story, and hope to integrate into the social background and integrate the whole story into the social environment. But Zhang Ran felt that it was unnecessary, what he wanted to shoot was a good-looking story, and he didn't want to sacrifice the watchability of the movie for the so-called depth.
Zhang Zhiliang persuaded several times, but Zhang Ran still refused to let go, so he didn't persuade again. Zhang Ran could see that he was very unhappy. But Zhang Ran didn't take it to heart, I am in charge of my movie, what can you do if you are dissatisfied with a nominal producer.
never expected that Zhang Zhiliang would come to this hand.
However, Zhang Ran didn't understand Zhang Zhiliang's intentions: "The movie is shot by our Qingying Studio, and others can't interfere, what's the point of him engaging in such a small action?"
Yu Minghai shook his head and said: "He knew that "Bursting Drummer" was a project of Qingying Studio, and he dared to do it blatantly, which shows that the overall situation has been decided, he not only got Xiangjiang Star, but also got Yu Minghai." He took a fancy to the project and wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and swallow it. There are a lot of things like this, and it's often the projects of new directors that are grabbed!"
Zhang Ran's expression became solemn, the dove occupied the magpie's nest and robbed other people's projects, he had heard a lot of such things. Before and after the release of the movie "Killing Ring", director Zhang Jiarui pointed out that he was the director of the film, and the female director Zhu Qing was only the producer. And Zhu Qing said that he was the director, and Zhang Jiarui was only the producer. Liu Zhan, director of the romantic comedy "Pretend Couple" starring Huang Bo and Jiang Yan, not only did not attend the film's press conference at the film festival, but even the title became the pre-director. The most famous project is naturally "Ultimate Decoding", which is the conflict between Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo, because it involves a dispute between two big stars, and things are in an uproar.
In fact, this is not uncommon in the film and television industry, but the people who are shot in the project are often nameless and sexless newcomers, and there is no place to talk about reasoning, and no one will pay attention to it, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Zhang Ran didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing, frowning and thinking about countermeasures. The Xiangjiang entertainment industry is famous for its unity, Zhang Zhiliang is famous, as long as he tries his best to win them over, there is almost no suspense for Nicholas Tse to be pulled over, but the only thing he can't figure out is how Bai Yu Minghai can be handled so easily?
After thinking about it, Zhang Ran felt that the situation he was facing was better than that of "Ultimate Decoding", "Bursting Drummer" was declared to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in the name of Qingying Studio, and this project was firmly in his hands. Moreover, Nortel has someone in the review committee, and if they make a little stumbling at will, it is impossible for Yu Minghai and them to start a new project immediately like "Ultimate Decoding".
Zhang Ran groaned and said, "Yu Minghai will definitely put pressure on us, but he will not really fall out with us completely and play divestment." Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent in the early stage of the movie, and the money will be wasted when the withdrawal is made. Even if they take the script written by Zhang Zhiliang and re-file it, it will take time. Nicholas Tse and Wang Zhiwen have limited schedules, so it is impossible to wait, so the crew will be disbanded!"
Qiu Yuanxu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It seems that you don't know enough about Zhang Zhiliang, Zhang Zhiliang has a deep relationship with Yindu Institution, and his "Caged People" was invested by Yindu Institution. The films of Yindu institutions do not need to be reviewed by radio and television, and they can start filming directly, and there is no need to re-apply for the record at all!"
Zhang Ran's face changed, and he now knew why Yu Minghai was moved. If Zhang Zhiliang really pulls in the Yindu institution, then things will be in trouble. Zhang Zhiliang can completely put Zhang Ran aside and pull the crew to start filming directly. After a while, he spit out a few words: "We're really annoying!"
Qiu Yuanxu sighed and said: "I thought Zhang Zhiliang was a leftist and pro-mainland, and it should be a pleasure to cooperate with him, but I didn't expect him to play this hand, it's really unpredictable!"
Zhang Ran knew that Zhang Zhiliang's character was not very good, but he still underestimated Zhang Zhiliang's energy too much. Zhang Zhiliang is famous, while Zhang Ran is unknown. Domestic movies are different from Hollywood, Hollywood investors do not look at fame, but at the box office data of the last three years. If the box office data in the last three years is good, you will be a god, and if the data in the last three years is poor, no matter how famous you are, you are a scumbag. In China, as long as you are famous enough, even if you lose badly, you can fool into investing. Zhang Zhiliang is known as Wen Zhang, as famous as Tsui Hark, in Yu Minghai's opinion, he is naturally much more reliable than Zhang Ran, the new director.
What's more important is that Zhang Zhiliang has a relationship with Yindu Organization, as long as he puts this line on, it is equivalent to hugging the thigh of Xiangjiang Movie. There are too few directors in China who can make commercial films, and cooperating with Xiangjiang is the trend of the times, and Yu Minghai will certainly not miss such an opportunity.
Zhang Ran knew that the time had come to test himself, and at this time he had only two choices, either slap the table and leave, or finish the movie according to their requirements. Zhang Ran will definitely not make this film according to their requirements, so the only result is Yu Minghai's withdrawal.
Many domestic directors have encountered the crisis of divestment, and during the filming of Ma Liwen's "Peach Blossom Luck", Emperor Company, one of the investors, temporarily withdrew its investment, resulting in the interruption of the crew's shooting. When "Tokyo Judgment" was about to be filmed a third of the way through, the investor's withdrawal made the film face the reality of stopping filming for a while. Gao Qunshu relied on the contacts accumulated from the previous filming of a TV series, and borrowed more than 5 million yuan in his personal name to restart filming of the film that had been suspended for 5 days. Ning Hao's "Incense" withdrew its capital in the middle of the pre-filming period, and the crew faced disbandment.
Qiu Yuanxu saw that Zhang Ran was silent and asked, "What are your plans now?"
Zhang Ran groaned for a while, raised his head and said, "There is no other way now, you just need to stabilize the people of Qingying Studio." Leave the rest to me, Yu Minghai wants to withdraw the capital, then let him withdraw it, and I will find a way to solve the problem of funds!"
"Don't worry, Qingying Studio has me!" Qiu Yuanxu nodded, looked into Zhang Ran's eyes and asked, "But "Bursting Drummer" needs millions, do you have a way?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said confidently: "If it was two months ago, I couldn't help it, but now I have!"
(I'm going to change it today.,I really can't find the feeling.,The more I write, the more annoying it becomes!)
