Chapter 460: Business and Art [Second Update]

Zhou Xingchi waved his fist vigorously to celebrate that he had finally been selected, and the audience was applauded.

"Okay, I invite all the guests to take a seat, and then welcome our new Gong Li and Li Jianren."

Zhou announced the end of the game, and the interview continued.

"Miss Gong has made a big breakthrough in the character image in the movie this time, how did you do it?" Zhou Comin's initial interview subject was Gong Li, because she was the heroine of this play.

Gong Li picked up the microphone, "Actually, I just want to try a different feeling, because someone said before that I might not be able to let go of playing this role, and then I also wanted to challenge myself, I used to act in that kind of very serious movies, and then I wanted to try this funny style." ”

"But your performance this time is really natural, will you try more roles like this in the future?"

"Let's look at the script and the characters."

After interviewing Gong Li, Zhou Comemin then began to count Li Jianren, "Tell me honestly, when did you get in, I don't know if you were in it." ”

"You see that I am so tall and strong, I cover my face and know that I am not Gong Li, the director said that I should come in and release the water, otherwise it will be too difficult, I am worried that he (Zhou Xingchi) will not be selected." Li Jianren looks tall and strong, and he doesn't have the obscene expression of "like a flower" in the movie.

"Because I have the impression that Gong Li is very tall, who knew that this guy would actually get in." Zhou Xingchi said and hit Li Jianren again.

"I heard that the two of you have known each other before, and then you are still classmates?" Zhou Comemin asked again.

The audience remembered a burst of exclamations, everyone thought that Li Jianren was just a trick in Zhou Xingchi's movie, but they didn't expect the two to have such a deep friendship.

"I only know that there used to be a person named Liang Chaowei living in Zhou Xingchi's house, it turns out that he still has a table mate like you who has not been discovered by everyone, you are deep enough!" Chen Baixiang squeezed his eyes at Li Jianren. The expression is very funny.

"Not only are we in the same class, but we are at the same table. It was Zhou Xingchi who was very obsessed with Chinese kung fu, Bruce Lee was his idol, he often practiced boxing at that time, and then I was his 'meat target'. In other words, if someone else has such a friendship with Zhou Xingchi, he will be very proud to say it, but it is very incredible to say this past from Li Jianren's own mouth.

"Your current size, you must have been strong when you were a child, right? Is there any mistake, are you sure that he is slaying you and not you sizing him? Chen Baixian exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Li Jianren nodded. Then what happened to him as a child immediately won Zhou Comin's sympathy.

"This is too much, when I was a child, I practiced boxing with you, and when I grew up, I intensified it, and asked you to play a trick that appeared for less than three seconds, and you didn't complain at all?"

"No more. In fact, I do more behind-the-scenes work for the crew, and I just make a cameo appearance in front of the stage. Li Jianren explained.

"I'm actually curious. That's in this movie. How did you come up with that shot that you came up with? "Zhou Comin, who has always been quiet and elegant in the show, really can't do that kind of nostril-picking action, even if he doesn't want to describe it in words.

Speaking of the origin of picking his nostrils, Li Jianren finally began to vomit bitterness, at that time, in order to highlight the handsome and chic of the four great talents in Jiangnan during filming, and then one person was needed to be the backdrop, Zhou Xingchi thought of Li Jianren. "At that time, he asked me to play a woman, sitting on the bridge with her back to the camera, and he played Tang Bohu to come over and talk, and then I turned around suddenly. It's really time to shoot. I turned my head suddenly, and he was so scared that he forgot all the lines, and then the second time I filmed, he said, please dig your nostrils before you turn around. In fact, I'm innocent, you see I'm such a powerful person, of course it's scary when I turn around, and then add the action of picking my nose, and the funny effect comes out all of a sudden. ”

Zhou Comin then took out a still of Li Jianren picking his nose, and the audience burst into laughter.

At this time, the show was also coming to an end, and Zhou Comin asked Zhou Xingchi how much he hoped the box office of this movie would be, and Zhou Xingchi smiled very shyly and said more than 30 million.

——

"In my opinion, the box office of the movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is definitely more than 40 million, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can have a box office of 20 million in Hong Kong, I think it is already very good, which brings such a question - the filming cost of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is three times that of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", if you are a film investor, what kind of movie will you choose?"

At the seminar on the theme of "How to Balance the Commercial and Artistic Aspects of Film", Lin Youlun made an opening speech in front of the audience of more than 100 film directors from various Asian countries, in which he mentioned such a question.

Sitting with him on the stage were more than a dozen directors of different nationalities, including Hu Jinquan in Hong Kong, Yang Dechang and Hou Xiaoxian in Taiwan, Chen Jige in the mainland, Akira Kurosawa in Japan, Lin Quanze in South Korea and two Indian directors.

Because Zhang Yimou only made a movie "Red Sorghum", his international reputation has not yet opened, so he was only invited to attend and was not invited to sit on the stage.

"The artistry of the film is like that of a child, imaginative, more serious and capricious; The commerciality of the film is like that of his father, who is more powerful and responsible, because he has to make money to support his family. As long as the audience still has to buy tickets to enter the movie, commerciality will always exist, it can be said that this is innate, and artistry is the attribute that is gradually given to the film after tomorrow. ”

"So whether it's more artistic or more commercial, I think it depends on the specific situation of different film markets. For example, in Chinese mainland now, the film market has not really formed, many people do not have the habit of going to the cinema, in the case that the audience does not have much enthusiasm for the movie, I think the artistry pursued by the director should be slightly conducive to his entertainment and commerciality, the purpose is to make this market become active, you have to cultivate everyone's interest in movies from the initial stage, in the words of the mainland, if you blindly pursue artistry, that is to break away from the masses. ”

Chen Qige's body moved on the chair, and he knew that Lin Youlun's words were specially said to him. Zhang Yimou sat in the audience, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"And like Hong Kong, commercial films have been very developed, and the market is also very active, at this time, the artistry of the director's filmmaking, giving people a view of the world and life, can be emphasized more, many Hong Kong directors are actually doing this spontaneously, because this is actually the needs of the audience, and now everyone's requirements for commercial films are also high, they don't want to watch bad movies, don't watch some stars to find a temporary story, set up a stage to deal with. The audience needs to see this story to really move him from the bottom of his heart, so according to the audience's situation, the director is constantly adjusting himself. ”

Many Hong Kong directors in the audience nodded unconsciously, because what Lin Youlun said was their personal experience over the years.

Comparing the situation in mainland China and Hong Kong, Lin Youlun finally concluded: "In a highly materialized modern society, even an art film must more or less consider its own commercial effect, of course, a commercial film also has more or less the director's subjective artistic component, and it is unrealistic to be completely commercial and completely artistic." ”

In the applause, his speech officially ended and the seminar began.

——

"Ms. Xu, I've already thought about it, I can make ...... movie "Farewell My Concubine" Chen Qige's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Xu Yan was so excited that his hand holding the microphone was trembling slightly.

Hanging up the phone, she sat on the couch and took several deep breaths to stabilize her excitement.

It's not easy, from France all the way to the mainland to Hong Kong, Xu Sulf finally waited for the moment when Chen Qige nodded and agreed.

And the good news is not only this, the problem of the actor who has been troubled by Xu Sulf has also been properly solved, and the one who helped her the most was actually Zunlong's dog.

During the Hong Kong International Film Festival, various banquets and exchange activities continued, Xu Yan kept meeting Zhang Yurong on different occasions, she didn't meet once, she regretted a little more, she was very conflicted, knowing that Zhang Yanrong was more suitable than Zunlong, but she had already talked to people, how could she talk and not count?

Lin Youlun's suggestion to her before didn't play a big role, Zunlong is a Taiwanese actor, but his nationality is written in the United States, Taiwanese actors are very shy about filming in the mainland, but Zunlong is fine.

Zunlong kept calling and asked Xu Sulf when he could sign the contract, but Xu Sulf really had no choice but to start negotiating a contract with him.

No one thought that when Zunlong was fighting for this role, his attitude was extremely sincere, but when he signed the contract, he played a big name because of a dog.

On the contract faxed by Zunlong's agent to Xu Sulf, two of them are about his dog, the first is that he and his dog are going to take the plane of the best airline in the world, and the second is that Zunlong and his dog are going to go out of customs together.

Xu Sulf's husband's family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Taiwan, so she is also a member of the wealthy family, and it stands to reason that she is definitely not lonely and unheard, but she really hasn't heard of which airline in the world is the best, and the most unbearable thing for her is Zunlong's second request, because according to animal quarantine regulations, it takes at least three days for animals to leave the customs - Xu Sulf can't go through the back door for a dog, right?

In this way, when Xu Feng and Zunlong said goodbye, and then went to Zhang Rongrong, Zhang Rongrong became easy to talk to, and happily agreed to appear in this movie.
