Chapter 93: Visiting Guo Donglin
Zhou Yi accompanied his sister and reviewed his homework for a day at school. There's nothing going on on the company's side. It is said that the newly launched Five Poisons Face Mask Toys are selling well and are quite popular with young people and children. The quality and workmanship of Fun Fox toys are good.
There is no need for Zhou Yi to worry about it for the time being, there is Manager Zheng staring, and everything is progressing smoothly.
And with Friday's high box office results as a foundation, it is estimated that the number of theaters will increase next week's weekend.
Naturally, there is a special person to handle the related work, and there is no need to worry about it.
It is estimated that next weekend, there will be at least 3,000 theaters co-screening.
That's certainly a good thing.
What height can the box office of this film rush to, and how many hundred million it can break, actually depends on the box office in the past two weeks. It is impossible for small-budget films to maintain a strong dominance for a long time, and they will always decline, and these two weeks are the key.
If you want to be like "Tokyo Holiday" and stay on the weekend box office chart for more than ten weeks, that can't be done at all.
That kind of situation is caused by various factors, and there is also a bonus of famous directors and actresses, which is not comparable to small films.
Small-cost films are generally slammed and beaten, with a fast rhythm of ups and downs.
Now that's it, it's already good.
In fact, Zhou Yi was indeed very satisfied.
In the evening, Zhou Yi and his sister finished dinner together, and then went to the appointment of Director Yanying Guo. After informing his sister, Zhou Yi returned to the dormitory, washed up a little, changed into a clean formal suit, and prepared to go to Yanying for an appointment.
There is no need to buy any gifts in advance, he is not familiar with the other party, and he is a junior student, this is the first time to meet, and Aunt Tanya is present, he doesn't need to run to give gifts, it seems too vulgar.
He was a student, so he could go empty-handed.
After getting ready, I went out of the school gate, and first talked to Aunt Tanya on the phone to confirm the time and place, there was no problem, and then Zhou Yi called a taxi and rushed to Yanying Xiuyuan, which is the residential area of Yanying's family.
After a while, the taxi arrived at the place.
Zhou Yi paid to get out of the car and habitually looked around, this is a high-end residential community.
Aunt Tanya usually lives here, but Zhou Yi really hasn't been here before.
He wasn't a person in the entertainment industry before, what did he run to Yanying if he had nothing to do? And Aunt Tanya has always been single, the house is not lively, and there is nothing fun. Zhou Yi has been living on campus all the time. In the past, during the New Year's holidays and relatives gatherings, Aunt Tanya took the initiative to go to his uncle and aunt's house.
Therefore, he is not familiar with this place.
It looks like this is an upscale community, and there are uniformed security guards on duty at the door.
Zhou Yi stepped forward to explain the situation.
The security guard had already received a notice from Director Guo's house inside, so he directly let Zhou Yi in.
Coming inside, according to Aunt Tanya, Zhou Yi was easy to find a place, and came directly to the first building of the community, only to see a big beautiful sister standing outside, dressed in cool clothes and graceful, looking around. Could it be that my sister is waiting for him?
Seeing Zhou Yi coming over, the big beauty greeted her with a smile.
"It's Senior Brother Zhou Yi!"
"It's me. Sister is? Zhou Yi asked with a smile.
"My name is Guo Aiming, I am the daughter of Teacher Guo and a student of Teacher Tan, I am a junior in Yanying, and I will be your senior sister in the future."
"It turned out to be Sister Oimye. Hello senior sister! Zhou Yi said politely.
"You're welcome, junior. My dad and I have seen your movie! It was a really good shot. "It's a good shot, but it's not a good acting.
"Thank you, senior sister! It's a pity that my acting skills are not good, so I came to ask Mr. Guo for advice. Zhou Yi understood the sound of others.
"You're not in college yet! Don't worry, it's good to act slowly in the future. ”
"I hope so. But if you want to make a movie during the holidays, you can only cramm! ”
"Hee-hee! No problem. Dad and Aunt Tan are waiting for you upstairs! I came out to pick you up, come with me! ”
"Senior sister, please!"
The two exchanged a few words, Guo Aiming took Zhou Yi upstairs, came to the third floor, and opened the door directly.
"Daddy! Aunt Tan! Senior Brother Zhou Yi is here! Guo Aiming helped Zhou Yi prepare slippers at this time.
"Ah Yi is here, come here."
Aunt Tanya was in the indoor living room, talking to Director Guo.
The living room is very spacious, the decoration is more elegant, and the house is in good condition.
Guo Donglin is very old, more than half a hundred, it is the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, but looking at his appearance, he is probably well maintained, and he does not look dull, there is no old age, but he is in good spirits, very healthy, and his face is clear, and he should be a very temperamental "scholar-type" beautiful man when he is young.
Guo Aiming is so beautiful, it seems that there are genetic factors.
Seeing Zhou Yi coming in, Guo Donglin smiled and nodded, and beckoned cordially: "Zhou Yi, come and sit!" Ami Ming poured tea for the junior. ”
"Okay!" Guo Aiming smiled and went to make tea.
"Hello Mr. Guo!"
Zhou Yi saluted slightly, walked over, and sat on the sofa next to him.
In private, there is no need to call Director Guo, it is more cordial to call Teacher Guo.
Aunt Tanya said with a smile: "Ah Yi, this is Mr. Guo Donglin, the head of our Yanying Performance Department, who has a deep artistic accomplishment. After you Yanying went to school, you usually had to ask Teacher Guo for advice. ”
"In the future, I really want to ask Mr. Guo for more guidance." Zhou Yi nodded politely.
"You're welcome! You're welcome! It's all their own people. If I can help, I'm sure I'm going to help. ”
Guo Donglin is very straightforward, but you, your "own person", are too straightforward.
Aunt Tanya next to her smiled.
Everyone introduced each other and exchanged pleasantries, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very good. Zhou Yi has a good impression of Teacher Guo, although she is old, Aunt Tanya is not young anymore, and she is still a good match. He is happy to see that happen. But don't forget what you're here for!
At this time, Guo Aiming helped Zhou Yi pour a cup of freshly brewed tea.
"Thank you, senior sister!" Zhou Yi nodded in acknowledgment.
Guo Aiming sat next to her with a smile, listening to everyone's chatter with great interest.
Guo Donglin said: "We don't have to be polite. Zhou Yi, I heard your Aunt Tanya say that you are going to make a movie during the holidays, and you want to shoot the story of "Chongxiao Tower" in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". And it's a script you wrote yourself. You want to play Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, this is indeed a good role. So let's talk about how you designed this character and how you understood him. ”
It seems that Mr. Guo is going to discuss the role with Zhou Yi first.
In fact, this is a kind of school examination and interview, and Mr. Guo wants to see if Zhou Yi has any goods in his stomach.
Whether Zhou Yi is gold-inlaid with white jade, or gold and jade, is lost, let's talk about it.
A few words and a few sentences can often reflect your own knowledge and cultivation, and you can't hide it from the Fang family in the industry.
How much effort people spend to help also depends on Zhou Yi's condition, and they can't spend their efforts in vain.
Whether you are rotten wood, root carving, or pillars, of course, there is a difference in treatment.
Of course, Zhou Yi understands this truth.
Aunt Tanya and Senior Sister Guo Aiming were both in attendance and were very interested.
Zhou Yi was prepared, and said with a straight face: "Teacher Guo, I think so. The film is limited to time, and it is impossible to act completely according to the content of the romance, and there must be changes to this role. I don't want to design this character as a face-painted, flat image, at least more flesh and blood. There are two main changes I have made to this role, one is in terms of identity, and the other is in martial arts. ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. Guo Donglin smiled and encouraged.
"First of all, let's talk about identity. This character, Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, is actually fictional, and there is no such person in history, so there is a certain room for flexibility in the role setting. For example, in Romance, he is the younger brother of Zhenzong, but in my script, I can reinterpret the relationship between the royal characters in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and at the beginning of the movie, I will cut in with a candlelight axe shadow to point out the relationship between the characters. The setting I made for Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, is the son of Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Taizu. Zhou Yi introduced.
"Zhao Dezhao? He is indeed the second son of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty. But why do you set it that way? Guo Donglin asked.
According to this setting, Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, is the grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty. As the son of Taizu Kuangyin's second son, Dezhao, the character itself adds to the innate tragedy. Zhao Jue's rebellion has the nature of avenging his father and ancestors, and has the meaning of 'illegal, but reasonable'. In the film, he committed suicide in the end, which is even more tragic. ”
This setting is due to the change in the overall tone of the film. Originally, this character was the villain in the romance, but it was up to me to play it, and in order to make this character brilliant, I had to make changes. From my own perspective, I can't play this character as a complete villain, which is not good for my image. I can't play an absolute villain. ”
"Then I have to consider changing the overall tone of the film, and turn the plot of good guys beating bad guys into a plot that doesn't matter whether it's good or evil, just about success or failure. The character fails in the end, but he is not an absolutely treacherous person. In this way, Zhao Jue has changed from a folk image of a villain and a bad guy to the image of a tragic prince. This kind of tragedy should be highlighted in the film. ”
"In order to render and highlight this tragic color, we must first make a change in identity. From my point of view, such a change will be more appropriate than the setting of King Xiangyang in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", after all, if he is the younger brother of Zhenzong, he will rebel as Uncle Renzong, then he is completely a villain, and he does not deserve sympathy at all, and this character will be disgraceful. ”
But changed to the son of Dezhao, traditionally speaking, he has the legitimacy of succession, after all, Kuang Yin's eldest son Teng Wang Dexiu died early, and the second son Dezhao should have succeeded to the throne, but Kuang Yin passed on his brother-in-law Guangyi according to his mother's order, and later there was more suspicion that the axe shadow was red. Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, some of his names were not right, and his words were not good, but the yellow robe was added, and he became the king and lost the king, so he didn't talk about him. Then Guangyi forced Dezhao to death, thinking from the perspective of Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, this is suspected of destroying the ancestors and killing his father. Then setting Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, as the son of Dezhao, and his revenge for his father and ancestors is natural. ”
"In the words of the common people, this throne should have been his. In this way, this character is not a simple villain, and the tragedy is about to come out. And the people have always sympathized and beautified the Dezhao and Defang brothers, and the latter is also known as the Eight Sages King. Of course, this may be because his ninth and tenth grandsons later became emperors, beautifying him and leaving him alone. It's just a movie! ”
"In addition, from the perspective of royal seniority, it also makes sense. Taizu and Taizong are brothers, a generation. Taizu's second son, Dezhao, and Taizong's third son, Zhenzong, are of the same generation. Then Zhao Jue, the son of Dezhao, the king of Xiangyang, and Renzong, the sixth son of Zhenzong, are of the same generation, and they are completely compatible, and there is no problem. In terms of the age of the actors, this setting is more appropriate, after all, if you play Uncle Cheng Renzong, you are too old. Moreover, the uncle's rebellion is indeed contrary to national etiquette and traditional morality, and it is not good for the image of the character, so he naturally abandons it. ”
Zhou Yi explained the setting ideas of this role in detail.
Aunt Tanya and Senior Sister Guo Aiming next to her listened and nodded again and again, and their interest increased.
Guo Donglin was also very satisfied with Zhou Yi's expression.
"Zhou Yi's character setting is really exciting, unique, and very attentive."
"Yes! Yes! The setting of the junior brother is great. ”
Guo Aiming smiled and helped.
Zhou Yi humbly thanked him.
Next, he talked about the setting of this character in terms of martial arts. Zhao Jue, the king of Xiangyang, finally defeated the heroes and killed himself, which is also a prominent tragedy. Logically speaking, it makes sense, after all, Zhao Kuangyin immediately took the world, and it is not uncommon for Taizu Changquan to be passed down in the world, and future generations will be able to martial arts. and increased the number of fighting scenes, which is to highlight the characteristics of Zhou Yi and make the performance more brilliant.
Everybody understands that.
If you don't have a play, you have to play hard. Who made him good at this! What are you filming if you don't shoot a scene?
Teacher Guo said with a smile: "Zhou Yi's play is indeed very exciting, very beautiful, very rare!" ”
Guo Aiming also praised: "The action scenes of the junior brother are so good! We watched the movie and it was quite shocking! ”
Zhou Yi smiled and said a few polite words.
Guo Donglin Zhengse said: "If this role is played like this, it is indeed very exciting and subversive, but the requirements for acting skills are also very high." Does Zhou Yi have any thoughts and preparations? ”
Zhou Yi mentioned that he specially hired an etiquette teacher to guide etiquette.
Guo Donglin nodded and said: "This is a good idea, it is very necessary, and it should be." However, etiquette is only the surface of the character, it can't be without, but it can't all rely on those things, after all, it is the outermost thing of the role, which seems gorgeous and indispensable, but it must be from the outside to the inside in order to perform wonderfully. In addition to shaping the external image and character temperament, how to shape the inner spirit of this character? How to grasp his soul and portray his essence? How to perform? That's the key. ”
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Teacher Guo is right!" This is exactly what I want to ask Mr. Guo. ”
"Of course that's fine. When you are filming during the holidays, you Aunt Tanya and I can go to the scene and personally guide you to perform. ”
"That's great."
Zhou Yi was overjoyed and very satisfied.
"Now I can only talk about it briefly, because I can't see the script, and I heard that you are still revising it."
"Mr. Guo, the screenwriter has changed the script. I brought it, give a copy to the teacher! ”
Zhou Yi was prepared.
"Of course that's good. Leave a copy of the script with me, and I'll study it so that I can guide you in your performance. ”
So Zhou Yi asked Senior Sister Ai Ming to help copy a script.
He certainly wasn't worried about the script leaking.
Director Guo, as an insider, understands it. What's more, he must know Zhou Yi's background. Besides, if he messes up this matter, does he still want to chase his wife? Zhou Yi had to stir up the yellow for him.
Just take this opportunity to test Director Guo's character and whether he is reliable or not. For Zhou Yi, this movie is important and important, after all, all kinds of plots have been seriously revised, but if it is not important, it is not important, after all, there are too many movies of this grade in Zhou Yi's mind, and he can come up with better works casually.
And what if the script leaks out? Who can really snatch it? If you want to snatch food from the mouth of the military commander, don't dream.
No problem at all, that's it.
After the copy was made, everyone sat down and chatted again.
With Aunt Tanya here, they are familiar with each other, and the relationship is one step closer. Guo Donglin's title to Zhou Yi has also changed from "Zhou Yi's classmate" to a more familiar "Ah Yi", which is more convenient to talk and there is no need to be so polite.
Zhou Yi came to visit today, and Guo Donglin definitely wanted to give him some advice.
Guo Donglin thought about it and said: "Ah Yi, do you know how Lou Degua became famous back then? ”
Zhou Yi couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't expect Mr. Guo to ask this question. Does it have anything to do with him?
