Chapter 166: "The Storm" and "The Witness"
"Uh-huh, just understand." Xie Tingfeng recalled the scene when he was scolded by Chen Musheng when he cooperated with Shen Lian in "The True Colors of Men", but he also knew that he was too worried.
Huang Xiaoming's discomfort with Hong Kong movies doesn't seem to be a little bit. A simple shot over the wall because of the improper communication with Weiya Shi and his own skills are not very sharp, it took 7 times to get through, and the group performers and the staff have some opinions on his eyes.
"Take a break first, and then make up the close-up shots later." Lin Chaoxian also noticed Xie Tingfeng and Shen Lian who were standing on the side watching the shooting, and after filming the footage at hand, he signaled the crew to take a break for a while.
"Hi Dante. Let me introduce you. This is ......" Xie Tingfeng acted as an intermediary and was about to make an introduction, but was interrupted by Lin Chaoxian waving his hand.
"Shen Lian, hello, hello. I've heard Ting Feng mention you many times. Lin Chaoxian shook hands with Shen Lian and said.
"Good director." Shen Lian also said politely.
"Let's talk in the conference room over there." Lin Chaoxian pointed to an empty room and said.
"yes, okay." After speaking, Shen Lian followed Lin Chaoxian and Xie Tingfeng to the conference room.
"You know Nicholas well, so we'll get straight to the point. I recently worked on an animated film. Regarding the dubbing work of the two male protagonists in Chinese, I hope you and Ting Feng can take over. Then in the second half of next year, the company plans to produce a movie, and also wants to invite you to participate in a role. He took out two Wen Jiàn folders from his briefcase and handed them to Shen Lian.
""Storm and Clouds", Nie Feng. "Witness", Hong Jing. Shen Lian subconsciously began to read the script of "Witness".
"I don't dare to say anything about "Storm and Clouds", "Witness" is definitely a good script." Lin Chaoxian was blunt and said neatly, this is a very direct transaction for resources, Shen Lian used his popularity to help "Fengyun Decision" do publicity work, and the role of "Witness" was handed over to Shen Lian.
"But Hong Jing's role is too small." Hastily flipped through the script, Shen Lian found something that he was not very satisfied with. Compared with Xie Tingfeng's role Tang Fei, Shen Lian's role may only account for about two-thirds.
"But there's a lot of room to play." Lin Chaoxian flickered. The positioning of the two male protagonists in the script of "Witness" is still relatively obvious, and it is not impossible to strengthen Tang Fei's role again during the editing process. In a certain way, Lin Chaoxian has the idea of directly praising Xie Tingfeng.
"To be honest, I still need to think through the script. But the problem aspect of the schedule. Shen Lian hesitated. In his previous life, the role of Hong Jing helped Zhang Jiahui, a supporting actor in Hong Kong films, win the Golden Horse Golden Statue double actor in one fell swoop, becoming the third actor after Li Xiuxian and Liang Chaowei to become a double actor with a movie, Shen Lian said that it is impossible not to be moved. However, there are indeed some conflicts in terms of schedules.
"I've heard when I contacted your agent that you're going to Hollywood to shoot a movie next. It may not be back until August. And the start time of "Witness" is tentatively scheduled for July. But I think it's okay to coordinate after all. You can also see that we can shoot Ting Feng's scene first. "As long as the filming contract is signed, because Shen Lian postponed his entry into the group, the role of director was biased towards Xie Tingfeng, then Shen Lian couldn't blame others, Lin Chaoxian was not worried about this.
"Then can I go back and talk to my agent?" Shen Lian said. "Get back to you within the month."
"Of course, we won't start it until next year." Lin Chaoxian gladly accepted.
"I'm looking forward to working with you." Lin Chaoxian will be the one who will win the three Golden Statue Movie Stars in the future, and Shen Lian will have to have a good relationship.
"Haha, so am I." Lin Chaoxian said happily and followed Shen Lian and Xie Tingfeng out of the door.
"I'll go say hello to Brother Xiao Ming." is also a mainland actor, and has had several encounters, and it always makes sense to come to the set. Shen Lian said hello to Lin Chaoxian.
"Uh-huh, please." Lin Chaoxian waved his hand to indicate that it was okay to be casual.
"Hi, Brother Ming." Huang Xiaoming and his agent Huang Bin were complaining about the problem of cooperation when they suddenly heard the familiar Chinese, and turned their heads to see that it was actually Shen Lian, who was focused on shooting before, and really didn't notice that Shen Lian came to the set.
"Hey!" Huang Xiaoming, who was under a lot of pressure in Hong Kong, suddenly met Shen Lian, who was not familiar but definitely came from the mainland, and suddenly had a very cordial feeling.
"Congratulations, we have officially entered the Hong Kong market." Shen Lian said politely. Although the two are still opponents in a sense, at least for now, Shen Lian is not worried about how much threat Huang Xiaoming will bring to him. The movie "Sharpshooter" could not be released in the mainland because of the indecent photos of the leading actor Edison, and Huang Xiaoming's first step into the Hong Kong film industry can be described as a big fall.
"Well, there are still some problems with the cooperation, you have more contact with the crew here in Hong Kong, do you have any know-how." Huang Xiaoming asked very humbly. In a sense, Shen Lian is the most comfortable in working with the Hong Kong crew among the younger generation, and properly referring to his opinions is only good for Huang Xiaoming.
"Try to learn about their Cantonese culture. You don't have to be able to speak, at least you have to be able to understand. You can communicate with them more privately. I also had problems communicating with the crew during the filming of "New Love", and then the director arranged for me and the Cantonese actress to catch up with the scene first, and at the same time learn Cantonese while filming. Shen Lian didn't hide his secrets, but passed on some of his experience to Huang Xiaoming without reservation: "Haven't you always been very generous in the crew, and it's good to treat you at the right time." The crew in Hong Kong likes to eat supper or drink tonic soup after finishing work at night. You can do a little bit of preparation in advance. ”
"I'm afraid of anti-guest, and I'm not familiar with it here." Huang Xiaoming stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly.
"Take your time and relax." Shen Lian patted Huang Xiaoming's shoulder.
"By the way, why did you come here?" After a while, Huang Xiaoming suddenly asked, Shen Lian and his personal friends generally do not come to visit him.
"Dante's next film invited me to participate." Shen Lian replied honestly.
"Oh, congratulations." Huang Xiaoming's face inevitably darkened, and it was true that Lin Chaoxian was relatively dissatisfied with his appearance. Since the start of filming of "Sharpshooter", his appearance has been a little worse than that of Edison in the same crew.
"Thank you. There is still work, so I will go first. After saying hello, Shen Lian also noticed that Xie Tingfeng had finished communicating with Lin Chaoxian and went to pick up the car, and left after signaling to Huang Xiaoming.
"Shen Lian really feels like a fish in water here." Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but say with envy.
"But he's too biased towards Hong Kong. Although he has cooperated with enough big directors and has received a lot of appreciation, his connections in the mainland are not weaker than you. Huang Bin was relieved, what he said was also true, but the reason for this result is that on the one hand, Shen Lian prefers to cooperate with big directors in the choice of personal co-directors, and on the other hand, he is still young in his debut, and he is much inferior to his classmates in the entertainment industry, which is a very important layer of connections. When the 04th acting class has gained a firm foothold in the circle, relatively speaking, Shen Lian will undoubtedly narrow the gap with Huang Xiaoming in this regard.
