Chapter 634: Autonomy
On the plane from Beijing to Shonan, Liu Tao sat in business class. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Her position was close to the window, and she could see the clouds and sunlight outside, and beside her was the agent Xiaoye.
Most of the positions next to him are actors and employees of Good Dreams, with a total of more than 20 people, and there is no shortage of international stars like Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei.
Xu Jinglei just won Best Supporting Actress at the Toronto Film Festival for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Although she is a supporting actress, it is a famous film festival in North America.
The domestic media made a large report, believing that she would become the third internationally influential Chinese actress after Gongli and Yu Feihong.
Just now, the flight attendants excitedly asked Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei for autographs.
From this, you can see the size of each person's fame.
In addition to these two people, many actors from Good Dreams Company were asked for autographs, however, no one asked her for autographs after getting on the plane, and no one even recognized her.
That's the gap.
"Don't be discouraged, you were hand-picked by Mr. Lin, and they were also discovered by Mr. Lin at the beginning, and the gap between you and them is that you have filmed a few fewer films." Xiao Ye said in a low voice, "When you finish filming "The Legend of the White Snake", you can also become popular." ”
That's true.
There are many reports about Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei in the media, and with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" being sought after abroad, many old things have been turned out and reported.
In media reports, Lin Zixuan met Yu Feihong in Los Angeles and was immediately shocked and decided that she was the best choice to play Yu Xiulian.
and invited her to return to China to shoot the TV series "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", thus creating a Venetian actress.
Xu Jinglei was favored by Lin Zixuan when she was studying in film school and starred in Jade Jiaolong.
It is through the training of TV series and the polishing of movies that she has become today's Xu Jinglei.
Liu Tao recalled these reports, and his heart did not relax, but showed a wry smile.
knows her own things best, she was discovered by Lin Zixuan, but she is different from these two international movie stars.
Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei are both from the acting department of the Film Academy, she entered this circle by making commercials, and she had no acting foundation before.
In the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake", Huang Xiaoming and Hai Qing have received professional acting training.
The two will discuss how to perform this paragraph, how to pronounce this line, the speed of speech, etc., which are quite professional topics.
Liu Tao listened on the sidelines, and realized that there were so many doorways in it, so the acting would indeed be better.
She felt like an auditor, trying to keep up with the other person's rhythm.
Like her, Huang Bo is not from a professional class, and the two are very close because they are agents.
Moreover, when talking about acting, I won't say those professional terms that I don't understand.
Huang Bo can always express his views on acting in straightforward language, which has helped Liu Tao a lot.
She felt that the communication with Huang Bo was smoother, but she couldn't learn Huang Bo's way of acting.
Huang Bo is good at free play, his performance is very flexible, his role is a villain monster, there is no problem with acting out of line, and he can also show the perverse and vicious side of the monster.
In fact, villains have more room to play in performance than decency, and there is more drama.
Liu Tao plays Bai Suzhen, and the character is limited by his personality and can only show a gentle and dignified side.
For new actors, it is a good thing that the character of the character is single, as long as it is played according to the script, there will be basically no deviation and it is relatively stable.
The result may be that the audience thinks that Liu Tao's performance is neither very good nor bad.
This is exactly what Liu Tao thinks, the company has invested so much money, she can't act badly in the first place.
Through this month's filming, she realized the gap between professional backgrounds and amateur actors, and she didn't think about how I could seek a breakthrough in acting, but only wanted to finish the filming safely.
In other words, Liu Tao has not put himself in the position of a professional actor, and his positioning is not clear.
Liu Tao participated in the Golden Oriole Festival for the first time to promote "The Legend of the White Snake", and Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei were the guests of honor to increase the popularity of the TV Art Festival.
Lin Zixuan was sitting in front and chatting with Xu Jinglei.
Xu Jinglei talked about the situation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America, and she will fly to the United States next month to participate in the promotion, until next year's Oscars.
Although she has not filmed for most of the year, her income has grown rapidly.
As Xu Jinglei's fame in the West grew, some major international brands invited her to shoot advertisements and make endorsements, and she could earn $300,000 for a week's advertising.
However, there are not many opportunities to make quick money in this way, and more long-term endorsements of three to five years.
This endorsement is at least $1 million or more.
Lin Zixuan explained not to talk about endorsements for the time being, and waited until after the Oscars.
The endorsement of international brands is the focus of competition for actresses, after all, there are too many actresses and limited international brands, but now the contract cannot be negotiated.
"For you, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is already in the past, and you have to put more attention to "Hero", you don't have many scenes in this film, but there are brilliant places." Lin Zixuan said, "You have time to think about the future development, whether to continue to take the international route like Gong Li, or have your own ideas." ”
"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Xu Jinglei asked.
"At this point, I won't arrange it for you anymore, depending on your interests." Lin Zixuan responded, "The most important thing in being a person is to be happy and do what you want to do." ”
When Xu Jinglei heard this, she suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart.
All along, it was Lin Zixuan who helped her arrange the road to go and the movies she wanted to make, and promoted her step by step to the position of an international movie star.
Lin Zixuan is like an umbrella, shielding her from the wind and rain.
She had a lot of thoughts in her heart, if she didn't want to be an actress, she wanted to become a painter, or become a director.
Like Lin Xiaoling, make the movies you want to make.
However, these thoughts just turned in her mind, she knew that the current situation was not easy to come by, there are so many actresses in China, and there are a few who have the opportunity to become international movie stars.
At the same time, she was a little moved.
If you spend so many resources on other film companies to raise an international movie star, you will definitely treat her as a cash cow, constantly taking on dramas and making money for the company.
Lin Zixuan can give her autonomy and let her choose her future life, which is to treat her as a friend or relative.
For a while, Xu Jinglei's heart fluctuated.
From when she saw Lin Zixuan's novel in 90, to the first meeting between the two in 95, and now she is sitting next to Lin Zixuan.
Ten years have passed, and I can't tell you what it feels like.
She looked at Lin Zixuan's side, and the sunlight outside the window reflected in, which was particularly dazzling.
