Chapter 349: Stranger
Huo Zhiming is also a well-known No. 1 person in the Chinese director circle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He is nearly fifty years old, comes from a family of intellectuals, but has a withdrawn and eccentric personality, and many actors who have worked with him have mixed reviews of him.
Some people thought he was too strict, a bit impersonal, and moody, and people who worked with him on set privately called him a 'tyrant'.
And some actors think that he is very dedicated, and the movies he makes can always keenly capture the feeling he wants.
Huo Zhiming's works are also mixed in the eyes of the audience, some works are amazing, and some works are difficult to watch.
But these are not the reasons why Xia Chaoqun should mention him, his biggest problem is:
"He doesn't have a position. ”
Xia Chaoqun lightly made this comment.
Huo Zhiming's so-called 'no position' is most directly manifested in his movies.
The relationship between the protagonist and the supporting characters in his movies can't be determined before the movie is released, and he is completely free to cut it.
It is possible that when he signed the contract, he was still set to be the protagonist, and he also went to the protagonist's scene during filming, but afterwards he changed his feeling in the middle of filming, and maybe the protagonist's role would eventually be cut to only one shadow.
Because of this characteristic, there is no shortage of good works in Huo Zhiming's films, but his films have always been the least liked by investors, thinking that they are too risky to try.
It is precisely for this reason that most famous actors don't like to cooperate with Huo Zhiming, for fear that he will cut the 'protagonist' on a whim worse than a passerby.
Many well-known movie stars who have worked with him finally broke up with him, and his reputation in the circle is not good, and he is currently in a very awkward position.
is not a well-known rookie director, and has made many well-evaluated works, in terms of identity and status, his qualifications are not worse than those of well-known domestic directors Ning Zhanping , Zhao Rang, etc.
But he is a big director, and no new works have come out for many years, except for his fans, maybe young audiences, maybe they don't know him as a person.
There are too many instabilities in his films, and Xia Chaoqun solemnly reminded Jiang Se:
"Have you read the novel? Haven't you seen the script yet?"
She really said what she said, since Jiang Se got the thick information of these scripts, he really only read the novels, and he didn't have time to read the script, outline, and character information.
As soon as Xia Chaoqun finished speaking, Jiang Se went to find the folder marked with the name of "Suspect", and after opening it, he saw that the script of "Suspect" was written with the words Director: Huo Zhiming, and even in the screenwriter, Huo Zhiming's name was written.
"His films are so unstable. ”
The last time his movie was released, it has been nearly six years since now, and six years ago, when his movie was released, there were a lot of infamy, and many viewers directly commented after watching the movie, thinking that Huo Zhiming is old and should quit the industry and go home to retire.
Even his die-hard fans were disappointed: Huo Zhiming was forced to make this drama, or was he short of money, so he compromised with reality and so on.
"The reputation of his last play may affect this play. ”
The most important thing is that Xia Chaoqun put the phone on his shoulder with his cheek, reached out and flipped through the information, and also found the information of the movie "Criminal Suspect":
"Because of the reasons mentioned above, no one is willing to invest in his film yet. ”
When she said this, she asked Jiang Se:
"In this case, Cersei, do you still insist that you are interested in the drama "The Suspect"?"
Jiang Se didn't speak, and Xia Chaoqun didn't care about her silence, "He's old, he's too independent, and his personality is too stubborn, and his aesthetics may not be able to keep up with the trend and attract the public." ”
If you really cooperate with him, it will be no less than a big adventure.
"You are now becoming famous, your career has just started, it is too risky to take this film, I am not afraid to tell you directly, this movie is the chairman of the board of directors who let me give you a choice. ”
When Luo Yin was young, he had a relationship with Huo Zhiming, and this time he didn't know why Luo Yin came forward to do this, but Xia Chaoqun was obviously not curious about the inside story:
"Let me remind you that among the signed stars of Century Galaxy, almost everyone has one such information. ”
When Jiang Se heard this, his brows couldn't help jumping, and Xia Chaoqun continued:
"Don't blame me for speaking too ruthlessly, Huo Zhiming has gotten to this point, and there are no investors, and he may not even be able to get the actor's salary!"
When she said such disgusting words in a calm and calm tone, Jiang Se couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"Sister Chaoqun, I'm still interested in this movie, and I think the role of Zhong Qi is very interesting. ”
After she said this, Xia Chaoqun on the other end of the phone did not speak, Jiang Se guessed that Xia Chaoqun heard what she said at this time, and he didn't know what kind of expression he would have.
"Why don't you take time another day and meet with Director Huo before deciding?"
Jiang Se's character, Xia Chaoqun has been with her for so long, and he probably knows something.
A person like her, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, once a decision is made, it is difficult to make her change her mind. Don't listen to her tone of discussing with Xia Chaoqun at this time, but if she didn't mean that, she wouldn't mention it to Xia Chaoqun at all. Once she brought up this matter and mentioned that she wanted to see Huo Zhiming, Xia Chaoqun knew that she had probably already made up her mind, and it was very difficult to change her decision.
"Do you want me to remind you again?"
Xia Chaoqun's tone was a little indifferent, "In this script, the smart stars in Century Galaxy have tried their best to refuse. ”
Jiang Se heard the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but laugh again:
"It's just to meet and see. ”
Huo Zhiming's reputation has reached the point where many people in the circle are unwilling to cooperate with him anymore, and it can be said that everyone avoids him.
Jiang Se insisted on seeing Huo Zhiming, Xia Chaoqun fulfilled the obligation to remind, and finally wrote down this itinerary, but before hanging up the phone, she still couldn't hold back her curiosity:
"Can I ask more?"
"Of course. ”
Jiang Se was a little curious about what she wanted to ask, compared with Mo Anqi's exuberant curiosity, Xia Chaoqun didn't look like a woman, she never inquired about some gossip and gossip in the entertainment industry, and she didn't have any curiosity, she only looked at the results and didn't ask about the process, didn't say nonsense that had nothing to do with the business, and always went straight to the point.
Her face has always been calm and calm, and she rarely sees a second expression.
