Chapter Eighty-Nine: Su Xue's Conditions
"Hey, Jiang Lin, why did you get up so early and don't sleep much?" Seeing Jiang Lin's figure appear in the hotel lobby, Zhang Yaming looked surprised.
"I can't sleep, I can't sleep, you know, this is the first time in my life to visit the set, it is very meaningful, so I hope to spend a full day on the set today, lazy, I can sleep anywhere in the future." Jiang Lin smiled brightly, "Huanzhu Gege" starts work at five or six o'clock every morning, as a class visitor, of course he can sleep lazily and then go to the set, but he can't do that, how to say that this is also the first time he has visited the set in his two lives combined, plus he can really live the addiction of acting, it is difficult for the whole person not to be excited.
"It's a good idea, but it's very tiring to be on set all day, so you have to be mentally prepared." Zhang Yaming said with a smile.
"Really? Director Zhang, although rest assured, I am not such a squeamish person, I can't bear any hardship, I used to record albums, and I was often busy for a week or two without days and nights, just staying on the set for such a day, I think this is not difficult for me. Jiang Lin chuckled.
"Okay, let's go, you and your agent will ride in the same car with me, and the others will solve it themselves." Zhang Yaming waved his hand.
"Okay, I'm sorry to guide you." Jiang Lin smiled and followed Zhang Yaming into a black Audi.
As soon as he sat down in the car and fastened his seat belt, the black Audi drove all the way to Yokogawa Film and Television City, more than ten miles away.
"Is the study of Yanying smooth?" Zhang Yaming asked interestingly.
"Overall, it's okay, I learned a lot of useful theoretical knowledge, but some of the lessons feel like a waste of time, and the teacher just follows the textbook, and most of the content is meaningless." Speaking of the back, Jiang Lin couldn't help but shake his head, after this period of study, he found that although the nature of the school is different, there is no difference between the essence of art schools and comprehensive universities, the so-called elective courses are purely used to earn credits, and it is difficult to come in handy in the future, even if it is a compulsory course, only a very small number of professional courses are really useful, not to mention absolutely, but at least the situation of most majors is like this, otherwise the university will not be regarded as an amusement park by many students.
"Oh, is it? It's normal, as I thought, for you now, a lot of Yanying's learning will only be a waste of time. Zhang Yaming smiled: "Let me ask you a question, in your opinion, what is the most important ability of a screenwriter?" â
"The ability to tell a story." Jiang Lin said without thinking.
"That's right, screenwriters are telling stories in the final analysis, whether they can tell the story well is very important, the so-called theoretical knowledge is just an auxiliary, which is why most of the good screenwriters who are now famous in China are non-professional backgrounds, originally writers or writer-level screenwriters themselves, the success rate of professional training is too low, you must know that the literature department of Yanying and acting is already the absolute leader in domestic art academies, but even if it is both, it cannot guarantee that a good screenwriter widely recognized by the industry will be produced every year.
And in contrast, screenwriters with professional backgrounds are often too stable, and those weird screenwriters with particularly different ideas are generally halfway out of the house. I think Jiang Lin, your storytelling ability is good enough, what you lack is nothing more than screenwriting skills, knowledge reserves, life experience and experience, there is no need to learn step by step, too much theoretical knowledge is not a good thing, what you have to do should be according to your actual situation, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to improve your ability, what to do, you grasp it yourself, I just make a suggestion. Zhang Yaming said patiently and gently.
"No, Director Zhang, your advice is very important to me, and I have been thinking about how to improve my learning efficiency recently, and after listening to your advice, I can finally make up my mind." Jiang Lin thanked from the bottom of his heart, yes, he had his own plan, but the important thing is not the content of the construction proposed by Zhang Yaming, but the construction itself, this world is indifferent, if it weren't for the other party's sincere concern for himself, he would never mention anything.
"It's good to be useful, have you started writing the second part of "Huanzhu Gege" now?" Zhang Yaming smiled slightly.
"Not yet, I'm writing "Young Bao Qingtian"." Jiang Lin chuckled.
""Young Bao Qingtian"? Is this Bao Qingtian the Bao Qingtian I know? Zhang Yaming's brows furrowed.
Xia Bing's eyes widened on the side, faintly resentful, Jiang Lin didn't mention this matter to his agent.
"Ha, if Director Zhang knows that Bao Qingtian is Bao Zheng, Bao Gong, Bao Longtu, Bao Heizi, Bao Heitan, and Bao Heitan, then that's it." The corners of Jiang Lin's mouth turned up.
"Is it the story of Bao Qingtian's youth? This is not easy to write, it is easy to write a bloody drama, and what is more serious is that the image of Bao Qingtian played by He Zhonghua has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the young Bao Qingtian will inevitably have zĂ i obstacles in public recognition. Zhang Yaming's brows furrowed more and more.
Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head: "I don't think so, it is undeniable that He Zhonghua's interpretation of Bao Qingtian is extremely good, and it is the most classic image of Bao Qingtian on the screen, but it is also necessary to see that He Zhonghua's colorful performance in the stage play is very uncomfortable now, and it is liked by young people in the future, and young people are actually very eager to see a more down-to-earth young version of Bao Qingtian."
The drive of more than ten miles is obviously not far, in the warm chat between the two, time flies quickly, and the black Audi has arrived at Yokogawa Film and Television City not long after, and Jiang Lin's busyness has also begun, starting with the actor's makeup and styling to visit, the time of the morning is fleeting.
"Cut, it's very good, it's time to break and eat, everyone hurry up, today's shooting task is very tight." Zhang Yaming shouted loudly with a loudspeaker in his hand.
Enthusiastic cheers suddenly sounded on the set, and Chinese people have always had a soft spot for eating.
Jiang Lin also quickly got a boxed lunch, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, a total of four dishes, a green pepper shredded pork, a green bamboo shoot sliced pork, a stir-fried cabbage, and a sour and hot potato shredded.
"Wow, it tastes good." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
"Isn't that good? If you eat a boxed lunch for months on end, you won't think so. Zhang Yaming shook his head with a smile.
"Definitely, but it will be much better if you change your tricks often." Jiang Lin smiled, looked around, and then said, "There is no one who doesn't eat a boxed lunch and asks for special treatment!" â
"It's not that you haven't met, but you haven't met it, some actors think they are big-name stars, which is very difficult to do, fortunately, there are not many such people, otherwise the crew will be enough to toss just by serving these people." Zhang Yaming's tone was slightly sarcastic.
Jiang Lin showed a smile in his eyes, in the original time and space, after the domestic stars had higher incomes, their work attitudes were getting worse and worse, he had read a report, Christian. When Bell came to China to shoot "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", the assistant didn't bring anything, and he flew over with a bag on his back.
So far, the atmosphere in the domestic film and television industry in this world is not bad, but in a few years and ten years, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not become like the original time and space.
While eating and chatting with Zhang Yaming, Jiang Lin's eyes fell on Su Xue, in the huge set, Su Xue, who was eating alone, was undoubtedly very conspicuous, judging from the situation so far in the morning, Su Xue was either isolated by the other actors in the crew, or she was so cold that it was difficult to approach, according to the previous situation, the latter is more likely.
After a little groaning, he said sorry to Zhang Yaming, and said hello to Xia Bing, Jiang Lin walked towards Su Xue, it is true that he has no good impression of Su Xue, but he also has no bad feelings, in fact, he is not really ignorant of why Su Xue dislikes him, if he is not mistaken, most of the things are on Su Chang.
"Why don't you eat alone and not chat with everyone?"
"There's nothing to talk about." Su Xue said indifferently, it was also eating, and there was indescribable elegance in her gestures.
Jiang Lin smiled slightly, this was a typical Su Xue character in his cognition, and said with a smile: "How could there be no talk?" It's that you don't want to talk to everyone, don't mind me asking a question, what do you find unsatisfactory about the shooting? You know, this is my first playbook, and I'm hoping to get some feedback so I can see what wasn't working well and improve on it later. â
Su Xue raised her head and glanced at Jiang Lin deeply, as if she was distinguishing something from his expression, and then said unhurriedly: "First of all, the performance of the main actors, in order to save the production cost, the crew used a large number of young actors who did not have rich performance experience. The second is the group performance, the overall quality of the Yokogawa group performance is not high, the second is that the crew's selection of the group performance is a big problem, and finally the script, and it is also the strictest problem, it is undeniable that your script has excellent writing, but the flesh and thunder on the lines are also obvious, which not only affects the performance of the actors, but also affects the viewing effect of the audience. â
In the end, Su Xue's tone was full of resentment, because Jiang Lin's lines, the actors who played opposite her always laughed, NG constantly, and her own performance was not good.
Awesome, Jiang Lin admired in his heart, Su Xue had something he didn't like, but he had to admit that Su Xue not only has a high level of actor quality, but also has a broad vision, unlike many young actresses in the original time and space that he knows, who know about plastic surgery and hype all day long.
"That, Su Chang's sister, I will soon open an entertainment company, involving film and television production and artist management, do you want to join?" Jiang Lin couldn't help but invite, with such excellent conditions, if Su Xue is not popular, it is simply unreasonable, as a person who has the intention of creating a film and television superstar, he hopes to take the other party into his account.
"As far as I know, you don't have a special background, why do you think I'd want to join your new company instead of some big film and television company?" Su Xue said bluntly.
"That's right, I have neither a special background, nor a worthy economic strength, but who said that you must have a special background and strong economic strength to succeed, there are too many self-made people in this world, and many people who stand at the top of the pyramid, my unique talent is my biggest reliance, if you join my company, with your performance strength and comprehensive conditions, you will definitely have a lot of good performances in the future.
I listened to Su Chang sing before, Su Chang's voice condition is very good, if you also have a good voice, I will write songs for you and create an album, you should know my ability in this area now, Su Chang will too. Jiang Lin smiled confidently.
Su Xue didn't answer immediately, but groaned with a deep expression, and said after a while: "Your music creation strength, I know very well now, but music is not my pursuit, you should know that I am an actor, an actor born in Yanying, the big screen is where my real pursuit lies, your screenwriting level has yet to be tested, if you can come up with a movie script that satisfies me, I will not hesitate to join your company." â
"No problem, wait, the movie script you are satisfied with is commercial or literary, I personally like commercial." Jiang Lin frowned slightly.
"As long as it's a good script, but I have to have a role that suits me." Su Xue said indifferently.
"OK, that's it, Su Chang's sister." Jiang Lin teased again, his expression is full of confidence, with countless movie resources in the original time and space, can't he find a good movie that is suitable for Su Xue to star in and he likes?
Su Xue bit her lip, and her resentment towards Jiang Lin also came out again: "I have my own name."
"Is there one? You will be called Su Qiu for a while, Su Xue for a while, maybe you will be called Su Yu soon, I am a lazy person, or Su Chang's sister is a good name, no matter how you change your name. The corners of Jiang Lin's mouth pulled up a trace of arc.
Su Xue bit her lip tightly, she hated flamboyant men the most.
