184 Chapter 184
This movie was filmed very early, and before Chu Yan went on his honeymoon, Zhou Hehui helped him take it.
As an artist under Tiansheng, Chu Yan rarely shoots films other than the company's investment. Tiansheng invests in countless movies every year, some are big investments, some are small investments, but all in all, it is impossible to let his own artists go without announcements, so Chu Yan rarely shoots movies from other companies.
However, "Despicable" was an accident.
The film was invested and filmed by Sinclair Entertainment, one of the four major entertainment companies in the United States, and was adapted from a book of the same name in the United States in recent years. Probably due to the subject matter, it is not too well-known, but Sinclair has put a lot of effort into this movie, wanting to use it to impact the Oka Awards at the end of this year.
"Despicable" tells the story of a Chinese people's survival in the United States, and the story is set in an era when people had just stepped into the cosmic age more than 700 years ago, and all countries were in ruins and were trying to build.
At that time, a gentleman and elegant Chinese man came to Dunshengxing, the capital of the United States, and he was heroic and wealthy, and suddenly became the darling of the upper class. Countless beautiful ladies were proud to marry him, countless rich people wanted to cling to him, and his name became an existence that everyone admired for ten years.
In the end, he was charged with fraud and ended his short but brilliant life.
did not mean to satirize Huaxia, but discussed who is the real despicable person in such a scam. Is it this man who has crossed the country and defrauded countless riches by virtue of his wisdom, or is it the stupid person who wants to take the opportunity to climb up and give others a chance, but turns back at the last moment, thinking that he has never been wrong?
The choice of Chu Yan to shoot this film was an attempt by Sinclair. First of all, the protagonist of this movie is a Chinese man through and through, and it is not surprising that choosing a Chinese star to play is already a sure thing. Secondly, Chu Yan's fame in Huaxia is in full swing, presumably if he joins this movie, the box office in Huaxia must be guaranteed.
When the contract was set, Chu Yan had not yet won the Jinsheng Award for Best Actor.
There are also people within Sinclair's company who recommend that Gu Shenze should be chosen to star in this movie, so that it may be more certain. Therefore, after Chu Yan was decided, there were still quite a few complaints in the company, until Chu Yan won the Jinsheng Award for Best Actor and suddenly jumped to the fourth place on the Bright Huaxing List, which made these people unable to attack.
"Chu, you are really amazing, congratulations, you have become the new actor of the Jinsheng Awards!"
The one who came to the interstellar switch station to receive Chu Yan turned out to be Simmons Walker, the producer of "Despicable", who has recently raised his eyebrows and is full of confidence in the film he is about to make.
As one of Sinclair's vice presidents, Simmons was originally a one-size-fits-all and strongly recommended Chu Yan to play the leading role. He signed a contract with Chu Yan without hesitation, and was ridiculed by many competitors within the company, thinking that he was too hasty, but now, it turns out that he is right!
Chu Yan, ranked fourth on the Bright Chinese Star List, the actor second only to Gu Shenze in the entire China!
Jinsheng Award Actor, countless excellent box office results!
Whether it is acting or commercial achievements, this young actor is impeccable, and he Simmons is the real discerning hero.
And the most important thing is that he cut through the mess quickly, and signed a contract with Chu Yan before he won the Jinsheng Award for Best Actor, which saved the company a lot of money. Otherwise, according to Chu Yan's current worth, this salary will have to be at least doubled! In this regard, the president praised him for a long time, and it seems that in next year's election, his chances of winning will be greater.
For these reasons, it is understandable that Simmons personally came to pick up Chu Yan. As long as this "Despicable" wins the Oka Award, then for him personally, he will definitely have more say and status in Sinclair.
Simmons smiled: "It's the first time I've come to China to shoot a movie, and I'm still quite unfamiliar with it. Chu, please forgive me for not being able to introduce you to this A-5 film and television planet, but our director has already arrived, and I think you will get along very happily when you meet. ”
Chu Yan smiled: "Are you talking about Mr. Felton?" ”
Simmons nodded: "Yes, it's George Felton, he is not much older than you, he is a young generation of directors, you must be able to work together happily." ”
The group soon came to the crew, and the assistant first went to help Chu Yan sort out his luggage and arrange the dormitory, and Chu Yan and Zhou Hehui met the famous American director George Felton together.
If Arlando Astor is the top commercial director in the United States, then George Felton is undoubtedly one of the best literary film directors in the United States, and he is still quite young. Each of the former's movies has been a box office success, while each of the latter's movies has gained a good reputation, although there are not many, but each of them is a classic in the hearts of fans.
After Chu Yan greeted the director, he was surprised to find that the other party seemed to be very difficult to get along with.
Faced with Chu Yan's initiative to say hello, Felton was very interested, and asked Chu Yan not to waste time, and quickly went to put on makeup and change clothes. If it's okay, it's best to start shooting directly now, and you can talk about it later, he needs to take a look at Chu Yan's performance.
Hearing this straightforward words, Zhou Hehui frowned, and Simmons on the side also looked embarrassed. Chu Yan is not an ordinary young actor, if it was a year or two ago, a big director like Felton would still have such an attitude towards him, after all, he is just an ordinary first-line artist.
But now, Chu Yan has won the Jinsheng Award for Best Actor, and he is also one of the top actors in China.
Felton's attitude was so unceremonious, even Arlando was very kind to Chu Yan, and the two sides got along very well.
Simmons immediately came out to play the round: "Chu, you go try out the styling first, I still have something to talk about with dear George." You're right, George? ”
Felton snorted softly and did not answer.
All of a sudden, the scene became even more embarrassing.
Simmons was so anxious that he was about to come down, and as Sinclair's vice president, he came to the crew in person to show his sincerity. If it were another director, he would have been angry a long time ago, and even fired the other party directly! But in front of this is George Felton, and he can't be offended yet.
But Chu Yan can't offend him now, and he still has to ask the other party to make a movie!
Just when Simmons was sweating and didn't know what to say, he heard Chu Yan laugh softly and said softly: "Okay, then I'll go first." Mr. Felton, it has been a privilege to work with you, and I am very much looking forward to the next shoot. ”
After Chu Yan finished speaking, Felton only said "um" and had no other reaction. But Chu Yan didn't care, he smiled humbly, turned around and went to make up first under the leadership of the person in charge of the modeling team, ready to start styling and shooting directly.
After Chu Yan came back after changing into a costume, Felton looked up and down carefully for a long time, and wanted to say something more several times, but he only moved his mouth and did not speak. In the end, he nodded lightly and said a rare word: "Not bad." The current state is okay, so let's take the makeup photos first, I just joined the crew, and I can't shoot anything good if I start filming directly. ”
The first half of the sentence is still a compliment, and the second half of the sentence suddenly has a bit of irony. Fortunately, the little assistant Yu Tongtong was not here, otherwise he would definitely be angry enough, even Zhou Hehui's face was slightly stunned, and he restrained himself with reason so that he did not have a seizure.
However, Chu Yan behaved very calmly. He smiled and nodded, and then went to take the makeup shot.
Under the bright and brilliant warm light, the young man has a long and beautiful body, an elegant and handsome face, wearing a rather chic white dress, and his gestures are noble and elegant aristocratic atmosphere. Especially the smile on his lips, which brought his clear and calm temperament into full play, which made the master in charge of the camera praise him.
At this moment, Chu Yan seemed to have become Hua Siya, and became the most superficially despicable person in that "Despicable".
He was the only son of a down-and-out banker, who had a prosperous childhood and a tragic family experience, but when he came to the United States, he became the guest of countless upper-class people with his proud wisdom, and he deceived them into creating a glorious period that was dark and vile, but could not hide the gorgeous surface.
"Okay, that's it, the still photo shoot is over, let's take a 3D hologram!"
"Yes, yes, just look here!"
"Raise your hand a little more, and the curvature of your mouth is a little lighter, it's great!"
In the studio, the photographer's excited voice echoed all the time.
It stands to reason that at such times, the director will come to see the situation and confirm how the actor is doing, whether he is looking for the right one, and whether he can show the feeling he wants. But as Zhou Hehui predicted, the great American director George Felton didn't come to see Chu Yan at all, looking indifferent.
When Chu Yan finished filming and went to remove his makeup, the two walked past the crew and suddenly saw Felton.
I saw that the great director was discussing some things with the screenwriter, and the two were talking while drinking tea, very leisurely and relaxed, without any nervousness, and they didn't seem to be very busy.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yan's footsteps paused slightly, his eyes looked at the two of them for a long time, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Zhou Hehui is a belly of fire, fortunately, he has seen a lot of bad things in the circle, and now he can suppress it, otherwise with other people's personalities, it is natural to throw his sleeves and leave.
After Chu Yan finished removing his makeup, he got into the hovercar arranged for him by the crew, and said softly: "What does Felton hate about me?" ”
Zhou Hehui was stunned suddenly, and after seeing that only he and Chu Yan were in the car, he whispered: "Hate? Xiao Yan, are you a little too serious, even if Felton doesn't like you, he won't hate you, right? You just met today, how can you talk about hate? ”
The United States is too far away from China, and the well water of the entertainment industry on both sides is at the top of the world, and other countries cannot compete with the two at all. In the past few decades, almost all of the first places on the interstellar star list have been Chinese and American actors, which shows the prosperity and strong entertainment strength of the two countries.
However, these have nothing to do with Chu Yan, they all say that the sky is falling and there are tall people on top, although Chu Yan has been in the limelight recently, but he is only ranked fourth in Huaxia, and he still has Qi Yaowen, Gu Shenze and An Shaoyang on his head, even if Felton really doesn't like Huaxia stars, he won't have such a bad attitude towards him alone.
Chu Yan said in a low voice: "Before coming to A-5 Film and Television Planet, I heard Sister An say that she had a good relationship with Felton. ”
The implication is that Felton doesn't hate Chinese stars, and he is not as radical as some extremists.
At this moment, Zhou Hehui was even more incomprehensible: "Xiaoyan, except for going to the United States to do a few publicity and participate in endorsement activities, you haven't been there at all." I think there's something wrong with this Felton, and I've communicated with Simmons today, hoping that he can solve this matter, otherwise we may not be able to make this movie. ”
In this regard, Chu Yan did not object.
Zhou Hehui said again: "He should not have a good impression of you, not hate." ”
Originally, Zhou Hehui just said such a sentence casually, and there was no special meaning, but who expected that after a while, Chu Yan laughed lowly, and said meaningfully: "Maybe it's not hate, but ...... Definitely more annoying than hating. ”
That night, Zhou Hehui got the reason from Simmons. This reason made him dumbfounded, and then there was laughter, he pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but find Chu Yan and told him the news in the middle of the night.
After getting the reason, Chu Yan's drowsiness disappeared suddenly.
Hearty laughter kept echoing in the quiet villa, Chu Yan hadn't laughed like this for too long, he laughed so much that he leaned forward and backwards, almost holding his breath, making Zhou Hehui in the virtual projection shrug his shoulders awkwardly, and in the end, he couldn't help but laugh with Chu Yan.
Wait until the next day, not to mention Chu Yan, who didn't care about it, even Zhou Hehui was not so angry.
Felton didn't know that Chu Yan and the others had already learned the reason, he still had that attitude, and he didn't even pay attention to Chu Yan before he was ready to start filming. When it was about to turn on, he called Chu Yan over, and asked in a weird manner: "How are you prepared, won't you even be able to memorize your lines?" ”
Chu Yan smiled lightly: "Please rest assured. ”
This attitude of neither humility nor arrogance seemed to be no different from yesterday, but the perceptive Felton noticed a hint of abnormality. He felt that yesterday's Chu Yan was completely relying on his own cultivation and rational restraint, so he didn't get angry with his attitude, but today...... How do you seem to be genuinely not angry?
Felton was confused, his eyebrows furrowed so much that he could catch the bugs. However, all the staff had already prepared and were about to start filming, so he didn't have time to think about what was going on, so he could only deliberately say coldly: "Don't you." ”
Chu Yan smiled: "Yes." ”
So, in Chu Yan's indifference and Felton's confused face, the first scene of "Despicable" officially started filming!
Crystal chandeliers hang from the top of the hall, reflecting a dazzling and chaotic glow in the light. With its gigantic arches and lavish ornamentation, the mansion is in the most traditional and classical Victorian style, with expensive wool carpets on the floor and white tiger skins on the walls.
Countless well-dressed ladies and gentlemen got out of the car and gathered here one by one to start a grand party.
Twelve of these sculptures formed a circle of pure gold tiger head sculptures gushing out thin springs of water, and countless guests gathered around them. It is said that it is a spring, but in fact, it is all the highest grade red wine, and it is really extravagant to the extreme, and it is used as a fountain for guests to use at will.
Off the set, Felton was already in the groove.
The young director is only thirty-four years old this year, but he has a lot of achievements in film. He attaches great importance to the beauty of the picture, and his mastery of rhythm has also reached the point of perfection, even before the start of filming, he still has a stinky face, but when the shooting starts, he immediately sits upright, looking at the sixteen monitors with serious eyes.
The crew was already nervous, and the lighting and videographers were carefully adjusting their equipment.
The atmosphere of the party has been shaped more and more enthusiastic, and when the atmosphere is rich to the point of being drunk, suddenly! I only heard a "da-da" footsteps coming from the direction of the second floor.
Dada, dada, dada......
The voice was calm and slow, the pace was very casual, not a little nervous, but it walked very regularly. If you listen closely, you can still hear that the sound interval of each step is exactly the same, and a wonderful feeling permeates from the footsteps.
In the noisy hall, there was a sudden silence!
Everyone turned their heads, staring hotly at the spiral staircase. The golden staircase, even the handrails are paved with a layer of glittering gold, the steps are the most beautiful crystals, and the thin carpet is paved on them, which seems simple and simple, but it is extremely noble.
Hear it before anyone sees it!
And this sound is really well shaped.
Simmons, who was watching from the set, nodded appreciatively, his eyes full of excitement. Even Felton couldn't help pursing his lips, his frowning brows slowly relaxed, he thought to himself, "It seems that the actor trophy is not so undeserved", but the next moment, when he saw the person who suddenly appeared in the picture, he was suddenly stunned!
Wearing a pure white dress, Chu Yan walked down the steps with a calm expression.
Chu Yan's good-looking has long been taught by Felton, even if he wants to be picky, he has to admit that this Chinese actor really has a good appearance and a very good figure, which is enough to play Hua Siya.
However, appearance is appearance, and there are some things that cannot be expressed by appearance.
The man's temperament was as indifferent and calm as the snow of the mountains, and he walked down the steps with a faint smile on his lips, a glass of pale golden champagne in his hand. The fingers were really good to see, slender and white, like beautiful jade, and even more charming against the golden liquor.
Every strand of hair has been taken care of to the most suitable place, and this person's pace, body shape, smile, and even the curvature of the corners of his eyes seem to be measured with a ruler, absolutely neat, reasonable, elegant, and exemplary.
He was the most well-deserved gentleman in the audience.
His smile could make the most indifferent lady smile, his courtesy made any discerning person speechless, and when he raised his glass, spoke softly, and uttered that humble and gentle word, his voice was like the most elegant cello, slowly playing a beautiful movement.
"To this beautiful night,"
"To all the ladies present,"
"To God who has given us all this."
"Cheers!"
The voice seemed to have a kind of incendiary nature, and all the guests in the audience raised their hands in unison and said, "Cheers!" ”
And so end, the first scene is over!
Although Felton didn't like Chu Yan, he would never joke about his movie. He can not give Chu Yan a good look in private, but he is very strict in filming, when the first scene is over, he reviews it again, and finally says in an unhappy tone: "Shoot well, keep it this way, continue." ”
- Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the shooting is very good, and Felton can't find fault even if he wants to.
Looking at the other party's deflated face, Chu Yan couldn't help but chuckle and turned around to prepare for the next scene. Seeing this scene, the little assistant Yu Tongtong touched his head in confusion and muttered in a low voice: "It's so strange, how do you feel that the director's attitude towards Xiaoyan is a little strange......"
After filming two or three more scenes, Chu Yan still didn't have a single thing, and Felton could only say words of praise over and over again. At this time, the little assistant finally found something wrong, she quickly found Zhou Hehui, pulled him into a small corner, said in a nervous tone, and said mysteriously: "Brother Zhou! Director Felton doesn't seem to like Xiaoyan very much! ”
Zhou Hehui was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What do you say?" ”
The little assistant hurriedly said: "I have this intuition, although Director Felton has never said it, but he seems to have been looking at Xiaoyan not very pleasing to the eye." If it were another director, such as a director who had worked with Xiao Yan before, even Director Chu, who was born with a cold personality, would praise Xiao Yan well, but Director Felton didn't say anything at all. After a pause, the little assistant said again: "Brother Zhou, maybe you are a man, you don't understand this intuition." You believe me, Director Felton's attitude towards Xiaoyan seems to be a little wrong! ”
Zhou Hehui laughed: "This is the intuition of legendary women? ”
The little assistant nodded: "You believe me, Brother Zhou, we have to solve this problem quickly." ”
While speaking, the little assistant also turned his head and looked secretly in the direction of Chu Yan and Director Felton, as if he was afraid of being discovered by these two. Her appearance really amused Zhou Hehui, but Zhou Hehui also knew that Yu Tongtong was for Chu Yan's good, and he didn't want Chu Yan to have conflicts with the director, which was not good for the filming of the movie.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hehui patted the little assistant's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Yan found out about this matter earlier than you, and I have already started to deal with this matter." Tongtong, do you want to know...... Why does director Felton dislike Xiaoyan so much? ”
Yu Tongtong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought in her heart, "Xiao Yan actually knew it a long time ago?" Then she said with a confused expression: "Yes." Brother Zhou, why does Director Felton dislike Xiao Yan so much, obviously this is the first time they have worked together. ”
Zhou Hehui turned his head meaningfully to look at the director, at this time Chu Yan had already gotten up to shoot the next scene, he looked at Felton for a while, then turned his head to the little assistant and said, "Actually."
The author has something to say: Actually, there is only one word 'love' left and right. When asked what is the situation in the world, the straight people promise to 'hate small words'! ”
----------------
There are actually people who hate us Chu Yanyan!
Hmph, Fuwa is not convinced! Fuwa is not open!
