Chapter 391: Star's Little Abacus
"Uncle Da.." Yang Yang smiled and invited Shi Da to sit down, he and Shi Da did not have a deep friendship, far from being called "Uncle Da", but as soon as he saw Shi Da's face that looked like Wu Mengda, he couldn't help but blurt out this title.
"Uh... Okay, Yang.." Shi Da was obviously stunned by Yang Yang's title, Yang Yang was too close to him, but he didn't know what to call Yang Yang, and he was stuck in his mouth for a while, looking a little embarrassed.
"Call me Yang Yang, Xiao Yang is fine.. You're older than me, you're a senior.." Yang Yang replied politely.
"You're so polite.." Starr was a little flattered.
He knew the purpose of Yang Yang inviting him to meet today, Yin Yi had already contacted him, and to be honest, Shi Da had no idea of leaving Tianyu before.
He is not young anymore, his temperament is stable, and he has been in Tianyu for decades, although he is not reused, but he has feelings.
But he still came today, mainly because Yang Yang's name is too big now.
Just talking about Yang Yang's status as the king of pop music and a popular actor-level actor is enough to make Star look up, and in the past two years, Yang Yang has begun to embark on the road of directing, and one movie after another has been released, not only selling at the box office, but also winning many important awards internationally, which can be called one of the most powerful directors in China.
And after the meeting, Yang Yang was so polite to him, even called out "Uncle Da", Shi Da couldn't help but have a sense of "I am so valued", and his mind was also a little shaken.
"I'll call you Director Yang.." Star said this sentence with a lot of ease.
"What do you call it? Yang Yang smiled and ordered a pot of Pu'er for Shi Da, he had investigated in advance that this "Uncle Da" usually likes to drink tea when he has nothing to do, and he loves Pu'er the most.
"I asked you out today for a play, I want you to try it." Yang Yang didn't talk about poaching people, but first took out the script of "Shaolin Football" and handed it to Star, "You can take a look first.."
When Starr saw the script, he didn't say anything, just nodded, "Okay." ”
Yang Yang saw that Shi Da had already taken a fancy to him, and was secretly satisfied, it seemed that today was going to be worth the trip.
There are many works of Xing Ye, Yang Yang picked and chosen, and finally chose the movie "Shaolin Football" with his consideration.
Although "Shaolin Football" is a classic work of Xing Ye's performance style, it is also full of a large number of exaggerated spoofs that make people squirt, but its main core is still the spirit of sportsmanship, full of positive energy of hard work and never admit defeat.
That alone makes it stand out from the rest of the spoof comedies.
What is the most important thing in a movie, not the actors, the picture, the special effects... It's the core spirit, the soul of the film.
For example, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the soul of the movie is the love between the killer and the girl who depend on each other and warm each other.
Yang Yang is not worried about whether Shi Da can play the role of Uncle Da well, and he doesn't even need to audition. Because first of all, he is an experienced veteran actor, and his grasp of the role is far greater than that of ordinary actors, and the comedy effect produced by Star's serious face, a little contrasting facial expression, or a spoof plot is sufficient.
Yang Yang is most worried about Qin Shang, as well as other supporting roles in the movie, there are too many outstanding places in this movie.
Tietou Gong Senior Brother, Light Gong Little Junior Brother.. Everyone has a unique laugh and sparkle in them, which is really a big project.
Star is very slow to read, and the habit of old actors always likes to read word by word. When he had finished the first ten pages, he closed the script.
"Director Yang.." Star's face also showed doubt, "I think this is a comedy."
Yang Yang nodded and said, "I want you to play the role of the coach of the football team in it, Uncle Da. I think this role is a perfect fit for you, oh no, it should be you..."
"You're exalting me too much.." Star smiled politely, then showed a tangled expression.
To be honest, he didn't care about the script at all, because he knew in his heart that since it was the script that Yang Yang took out, the movie he was going to make would definitely have its own uniqueness and would definitely sell well... Even if it's a comedy that seems absurd.
The word Yang Yang represents its weight.
He has the ability.
What really makes Star hesitate is his own reasons, the affection of his old club Tianyu is on the one hand, and whether he can control a role that he has never tried is another thing.
He didn't know whether he should accept Yang Yang's invitation or not, because once he accepted it, Yang Yang's meaning would definitely be to sign him and others together, in case this drama was smashed... Oh no, it should be said that what if I don't perform well, Yang Yang is not satisfied, and I will never have a chance to film again after I pass?
With Yang Yang's name, I don't know how many celebrities are rushing to cooperate with him, how can he get his turn when the time comes.
Shi Da gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, and said to Yang Yang: "Director Yang, it's no problem to take over this play.. However, can the signing of the contract be put aside first, my contract with Tianyu still has many years.."
In the end, he was embarrassed to say this, he was simply reporting the mentality that both sides were beneficial to him.
Anyway, if Yang Yang's movie is smashed, he can continue to play his "master" in Tianyu's ethical drama, if the movie becomes popular, he will naturally change jobs and seek better development.
The abacus is ringing.
Starr's face was slightly red, and he finally didn't know what to say.
Yang Yang didn't pull down his face as he expected, but still smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, I can understand..." I'm already very happy that Uncle Da can cooperate.."
When Shi Da heard Yang Yang's words, he was even more ashamed of himself, gritted his teeth, and could only say: "I will act well.."
That's enough.
Yang Yang didn't mind Shi Da coming over later.
If the attempt of "Shaolin Football" fails, then there is no way, it can only be said that Xing Ye's classics will always be Xing Ye's, Yang Yang can't copy it, then Shi Da doesn't care if he can't come over, Yang Yang only likes his image, that face.
If "Shaolin Football" is successful, it will be easier to do, poaching people, as long as you pay a little more liquidated damages.
In this world, problems that can be solved with money are not called problems.
It just so happens that the last thing Yang Yang lacks is money.
Then, Yang Yang had a good chat with Shi Da for a while, about movies. Although Shi Da is not famous, after all, he has a high seniority, old qualifications, and a lot of director friends, and many ideas and insights have also won Yang Yang's heart, and the two have a good conversation.
After drinking a pot of tea, the two ended the meeting amicably, and Yang Yang's second purpose of coming to Peking was almost achieved.
