224.Chapter 224: Discussion and Decision (2)
Except for Alvin, the other people in the conference room all showed uncertain expressions when they heard Yang Qinglan's first words after opening his eyes.
Because in their opinion, she didn't show what a seventeen-year-old girl should look like except for saying a line that seemed to fit a seventeen-year-old girl.
Could it be that this is her acting skills?
For a moment, most of the people turned their eyes to Alvin to see how he reacted.
No one expected that Alvin not only did not show dissatisfaction, but seemed full of interest, as if he had seen some interesting toy, leaned forward, squinted his eyes and said, "I am your new foreign language teacher, and I am here to help you with your homework." ”
Yang Qinglan blinked, grabbed a pen in her right hand, pushed the information in front of her with her left hand, and pointed to one of the lines of words with the tip of the pen and asked: "Teacher, I have corrected this question according to the reference answer, but I think my choice is not wrong, can you please explain this question?" ”
"Uh-huh, this question, it's like this, so, well, that's it, do you understand?"
Alvin didn't mean to play seriously at all, he stretched out his finger and poked it twice on the information casually, even if it was the right play, and then stared at Yang Qinglan directly, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Is that so......" Yang Qinglan directly ignored Alvin's gaze, took back the information and muttered to the piece of paper, as if the title was really written on it, the more she thought about it, the deeper her brows wrinkled, and after three or four seconds, she suddenly made a sudden realization, "So that's the case!" ”
Before she could finish speaking, Alvin's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "What are you still sitting here for?" I've forgiven you for stealing, do you want me to take you out?! ”
Yang Qinglan's hand shook, and the pen in his hand fell on the table with a click, the whole person was like a frightened quail, his body trembled slightly, his expression became very shrunken, his eyes were dodging but full of longing, staring at the water cup in front of Alvin was like a hungry child seeing a piece of bread.
"But sir...... I really didn't steal...... I bought it with money, and my sister is still waiting to eat......"
The two of them played here, and the people around them didn't understand what they were doing to be laymen, and the eyes that looked at Yang Qinglan changed from unclear at the beginning to admiration.
Alvin's acting skills are really poor, she doesn't have a sense of acting, and she even smiles when she speaks, and she can't enter the play at all if she is an ordinary actor, but her appearance is remarkable, which is enough to make them sigh.
But this level is still far from being Alvin's heroine, can she do better?
Continue to look down with anticipation, Alvin changes a scene almost in two sentences, and the emotional gap between each scene is still very large, often with great joy and great sorrow, and after the great sorrow is over, it is a great joy, almost tossing people into madness.
The two of them sat opposite each other from the beginning to jump up and down in the conference room to simulate the scene, and several people also made temporary cameos in some auxiliary roles or props that were not in the room, and after a while, the room was made to jump.
“…… OK,CUT! ”
Panting and raising his hand to make a pause posture, Alvin leaned against the wall and gave Yang Qinglan a thumbs up while panting: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy, and the last time I had such fun was when Stephen worked with me for the first time." ”
Hearing the name "Stephen", the people in the rice country all showed surprise, looking at Yang Qinglan's eyes as if they were looking at a new world, and the people on the side of the Rose Studio didn't react to who he was talking about at the first time, but listening to his tone, he also knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he also cast an admiring look at her.
In the corner of the room, Yin Yilin asked Assistant Zhou standing beside him in a low voice: "Stephen is ......?" ”
"Stephen Houston."
“?!!”
Yin Yilin stared at him in disbelief.
There are many people named Stephen, and there are many people called Houston, but there is only one celebrity named Stephen Houston and has an intersection with Alvin, that is, the super actor who won the third global actor not long ago.
Stephen made his debut early, having appeared in world-renowned films at the age of twelve, and at the age of thirteen, he met Alvin, who was still a rookie director, and became the protagonist of his third film.
That movie won the best picture in the world that year, and it also made Stephen the first actor in his life, and made Stephen and Alvin popular at the same time.
Since that day, Alvin's career as a director has been soaring, and although there have been occasional lows in between, the level of his work has always remained at a high level.
On the contrary, Stephen is like a child who has lost his future, acting one by one, until he is twenty years old, and there is no second work that he can handle, many people assert that he has turned over the peak of his life, and the next road is downhill, after the age of twenty, no one is willing to use him as an actor, and he can't even get the opportunity to play tricks, he can only work as a handyman on various sets to support himself.
Four years after disappearing, the twenty-four-year-old Stephen became the protagonist of Alvin's work for the second time, and at this time, Alvin was already a well-known director, and no one was optimistic about this cooperation, and they all felt that Alvin was blind to make this choice.
However, when the movie was released, everyone realized that they were all wrong.
is another best film in the world and a best actor.
So someone said, "Stephen is an artifact that only Alvin knows how to use." ”
But the next development slapped these people in the face.
Since then, Stephen has acted in a popular film like a hanging, no matter who he cooperates with, he has played it to the fullest, but every time he wins the awards at the end of the year, he will encounter a strong rival and miss the actor, but everyone doesn't think it's a pity, after all, he has won the actor twice, who can deny his status in the film industry?
Only a few of Stephen's close friends know that he has always had a knot in his heart and wants to get an actor who has nothing to do with Alvin, otherwise even if he has two halos on his head and no more failed works, he can't change his nickname of "Alvin's artifact".
In order to do this, he never worked with Alvin again, not even a cameo, and for this reason, it was rumored many times that he and his gold diggers had parted ways.
More than ten years have passed, and his dream has never been realized.
Until the appearance of a genius girl.
Stephen played the girl's father, and when he was playing, he was stimulated by the girl's acting skills, and the whole person burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.
Forty-three-year-old Stephen finally got his third actor, an actor who has nothing to do with Alvin.
After that, Stephen announced his semi-retirement, and since then he has only taken on some small roles with few easy scenes, and has lived an enviable and leisurely life with his family and children.
Alvin actually compared this young screenwriter in China with Stephen, who has been "deified" in the United States?
Everyone present began to re-evaluate the value of this girl, and Assistant Zhou even took out his mobile phone to record something with a notepad, looking at his expression very seriously.
Yang Qinglan calmed her breath and bowed slightly to Alvin as a thanksgiving, with a decent smile on her face, she didn't look the slightest bit of pride and pride, as if Alvin was just "qualified".
Seeing that her reaction was so flat, Alvin was obviously a little dissatisfied.
"Be happy, these are all going to be edited into my documentary, and if you're not happy, it will look like I didn't praise you."
"Documentary?" Yang Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and her eyes subconsciously swept around the room, but she didn't find any cameraman.
Alvin stretched out his finger and pointed to a few corners, as well as the two paintings hanging on the walls, "Pinhole, no need for a videographer, thanks to the high technology." ”
Hearing that there were so many pinhole cameras in the conference room, Yin Yilin rubbed his temples: "Mr. Alvin, your behavior is really against business ethics, such an important matter, why don't you discuss it with us in advance?" ”
"Discuss? No, no, no, this is not negotiable, what I need is a real documentary without any deliberate elements, and even if I apologize afterwards, I can't discuss it with you in advance. Ah yes, Qiu's heroic appearance yesterday has also been recorded, and I will edit it all into the documentary without falling a frame, so that people all over the world can enjoy it. ”
Seeing Alvin's triumphant appearance, Yang Qinglan had a little headache.
Sure enough, he is a famous director who is held in the heart of the world, and he is at ease when he plays it, without the slightest sense of guilt.
Although the Rose Studios has a reason for this, they have no room for protest at all, and the law of the jungle is the truth no matter what the field.
Looking at the scene, it seemed a little stiff, and Snow stepped forward to reconcile the atmosphere.
"Now that the candidate has been decided, let's discuss the specific cooperation matters, please wait a moment, I will find someone to come in and clean up."
"I'll go out and breathe." After Yang Qinglan finished speaking, she walked out of the conference room without waiting for others to react.
After a toss just now, her makeup has been spent almost and she can't see anyone, no matter how beautiful she is, it's funny to negotiate with a flower face.
Half an hour later, everyone returned to their tables and started a new discussion.
And this time, both sides have already established cooperation, and there is a difference in mentality.
Rose Studios strives for its own interests, the initiative in Huaxia, and the right to speak in the filming of the whole film.
Alvin, for his part, made many demands for the future work of Studio Rose, and many of them were unreasonable and hotly debated.
Before the specific details of the shooting were discussed, the two sides were arguing in the conference room, and when someone knocked on the door and said that it was time for dinner, the two sides had not yet reached an agreement on even the most basic way to cooperate.
At this time, Assistant Zhou and Snow have lost their kind appearance at the beginning, and their eyes are as sharp as knives, and they can stab the strongest hearts through the cold.
"Although Mr. Alvin has already decided that Miss Qiu will be the heroine of Chinese elements, and she may even become the heroine of the movie, we cannot make concessions on these points, this is not an equivalent exchange."
Facing Assistant Zhou, who had a tough attitude, Yin Yilin was not to be outdone: "We are not using the topic to play, we didn't plan to ask for the position of heroine at the beginning, these are fundamentally different things, please don't confuse the concept." ”
