Chapter 92: Tripartite Talks
After the vocal lessons on Wednesday morning, there are really no classes in the afternoon, so you can spare time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the agreement, Zhou Yi wanted to meet with Director Xu Qianye in the afternoon, and he had already notified that the meeting place was in Chongxiao Tower, outside the school. Zhou Yi rushed there at noon, and it was not good to let the big director wait for him to be a junior. What's more, Zhou Yi is a landlord, and he must always fulfill the friendship of the landlord. He used his VIP card to book a private room on the second floor of Chongxiao Tower, ready to invite Director Xu to tea.
It seems that the VIP card that Huo Lao and Lou Degua helped him do before school started school is still useful.
Otherwise, if you want to book a box, you can't do it, you can only change places, and it will be very shameless.
Being able to entertain guests on the Chongxiao Tower is a symbol of status in the circle.
Director Xu may not care about these hypocrisy and clichΓ©s, but Zhou Yi still wants to be decent, which is the least respect for a great director. At noon, he was studying the script of "One-Armed Knife" in the box, while waiting for Director Xu and them to come over. He already knew in advance that Zhuo Qinglian and Manager Zhao of Caizi Group would come to accompany him in person. When it comes to cooperation, it's a big deal, and the top management of both sides will be present.
The other party received the news quickly, and it is estimated that he has been prepared.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Director Xu and his entourage rushed to Chongxiao Tower. After receiving a call from Zhuo Qinglian, Zhou Yi went out to greet him in person. The two sides happened to meet in front of the door of the tower. Although Zhou Yi had not been in contact with director Xu Qianye before, before the two sides met, of course Zhou Yi would check the relevant information on the Internet, at least to see their past resumes and what they looked like, so that they would not be embarrassed when communicating.
This is the first time that Zhou Yi has dealt face-to-face with a big director in the industry.
Director Xu Qianye is 50 years old, and he was definitely not young when he was able to make Zhao Yanqin popular back then, and he is several years older than his wife director Gu Wanting. At that time, their combination was a perfect match, a good couple, known as a good story in the industry, and it was an inter-school alliance, because director Xu Qianye was born in Chinese opera, and director Gu Wanting was born in Yanying, which is considered to be the right person.
At first meeting, Zhou Yi felt that the other party was like a teacher, with an average appearance, but well maintained, not very old, wearing a pair of flat glasses, a bit of polite temperament, moderate figure, not fat or thin, there was no aura of a big director on his body, he looked ordinary, but looking at his eyes, he was a little deep and dignified. Zhou Yi felt that Director Xu should be a person who was very focused on thinking.
This feature is more in line with the identity of a big director in the industry.
In fact, no one dictates what the industry's great directors should be like.
The entertainment industry has always been colorful, and in the group of big directors, there are more trendy and sharp directors like "Little Tearing Treasure" Shi Bibao, there are also more old-school and serious directors like Zhang Yimu, there are big directors with a bit of old peasant cunning like "Lao Paoer" Xiao Xiao, there are also big directors like Gu Wanting who are housewives, there are big directors like Bo Yichuan who became famous at a young age, and naturally there are also big directors like Xu Qianye who are teaching Mr. Teaching. Their appearances are different, their temperament connotations are also different, and the director's style and type of film they are good at are naturally different, but they are all undoubtedly big directors, they all have the ability to win the box office of popular newcomers and monoclonal antibodies, and have the qualifications for dividends and the right to cut the end. Don't look at Xu Qianye as a conservative teacher, but he is indeed a big director of commercial films, and he is a top action movie director.
Zhou Yi had carefully looked at his past resume before, and he was naturally clear.
This Director Xu doesn't seem to have any aura, it's Qi Kung Fu at home, but the face-to-face look, although it is only a very short time, Director Xu's eyes are slightly sharp, which will give people a little pressure.
As a senior director in the industry, he is too experienced, he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and watching people is the most basic ability.
If the actor is not confident and has no confidence, it is inevitable that his mentality will be affected.
However, Zhou Yi naturally didn't mind, as usual, his posture was as tall as a green pine, his eyes did not squint, he would not deliberately avoid the other party's scrutinizing eyes, he kept smiling kindly, like a spring breeze, and his mental state was extremely perfect, which could leave a deep impression on the other party.
At this time, Zhuo Qinglian took the initiative to step forward and introduce Director Xu Qianye to Zhou Yi.
The two sides shook hands, and Zhou Yi took the initiative to greet him, very polite, humble and polite.
Xu Qianye showed a smile on his serious face, and said quite kindly: "Classmate Zhou Yi, my little niece is the most fan of you, you are very popular, and you always talk to me about you." My ears are about to grind out calluses, and I've always wanted to see you, and today I finally saw you. β
Zhou Yi smiled: "That's really an honor for juniors." I've been known to Director Xu for a long time, and I've always wanted to meet him! It's a pity that there were no suitable opportunities before. Let's go upstairs and talk first! I've booked a box on the second floor. Everybody please. Zhou Yi stretched out his hand to signal.
Everyone went upstairs together.
Zhuo Qinglian took the opportunity to say to Zhou Yi: "Director Xu's niece is Gu Moyan, who is now studying at Yan University, and is a very talented little girl. Last time we had the premiere of "Rushing Tower", you still met on stage! β
Zhou Yi said: "I know, of course I remember." The head of my fan group, Gu Moyan, is very interesting. β
Xu Qianye couldn't help but laugh and said, "She! It's just a messy temperament.,It's too fun-loving.γ β
Manager Zhao of Caizi Group also accompanied everyone to laugh.
Coming to the second floor of Chongxiao Tower, entering the box, everyone sat on the sofa at will, around the coffee table, drinking tea and chatting.
The guy from his own tea house delivered fragrant tea and snacks in time.
However, everyone didn't come to eat and drink, just be polite, drink some tea casually, and then talk about serious things.
Manager Zhao coughed lightly and made an opening statement first.
"We are gathered here today, and we must all have the sincerity to cooperate, otherwise we would not have come. There are no outsiders here, there is no need to say polite words, we don't need to be vain and wronged, if you have any ideas, you can say them straight to the point. β
"We Caizi Group want to do our best to promote this project, and we really have selfish intentions. Zhou Yi, as the spokesperson of the company, has infinite possibilities to grow into a superstar in the future, and our company wants to speed up this process a little, and cooperate with big directors, which can undoubtedly take a shortcut. Which superstar in the industry hasn't worked with a big director? A star who has not worked with a big director cannot be regarded as a first-line superstar at all. β
"From Director Xu's point of view, the film and television industry is now in short supply, lacking powerful action superstars, especially the new generation, and there are no action stars who can do it. Director Xu probably also needs a better long-term partner, and Zhou Yi is indeed very suitable. β
"If this project can be successfully realized, it will be beneficial to all three of us."
"If you have any ideas, you can come up with them and discuss them."
Zhou Yi looked at Zhuo Qinglian and didn't speak first.
Zhuo Qinglian smiled elegantly and said: "Director Xu is a well-known director in the industry, and of course we are willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with a great director. Although we Zhengdong Pictures have just completed the acquisition, it is only a second-tier company, and the scale is not large, but we have a deep heritage, there is no lack of behind-the-scenes support, and we have recently relied on small-budget action movies, there are signs of rise, and we have completed a certain amount of capital accumulation, and we have plans for further development. Of course, the only thing we can do at the moment is Zhou Yi. From the perspective of prospects, it is needless to say that Zhou Yi has grown into a future action superstar. If Director Xu wants to choose a long-term partner, to be honest, it is impossible for the industry to find a better candidate for the new generation. β
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "This is Sister Zhuo selling melons, selling herself and boasting!" β
Everyone was amused.
"Actually, what Miss Zhuo said is very reasonable, I am indeed very optimistic about Zhou Yi. Not only me, but the industry in general is very optimistic, this is obvious. It can be seen from the willingness of Yousheng Entertainment Group to cooperate with Zhengdong Pictures. They also bet on Zhou Yi. β
"Nowadays, there is really a shortage of action movies in the industry, especially action actors, who are seriously lacking new blood. Generally speaking, handsome actors can't play, actors who can play are not handsome, and those who look a little passable and have no acting skills, this is a strange circle in our industry. The recent rise of Zhengdong Pictures makes sense, especially with newcomers like Zhou Yi. β
"Considering all aspects of the conditions, Zhou Yi is indeed very good, which is needless to say. In terms of basic conditions, Zhou Yi has a perfect figure with a golden ratio, a tall and strong body, and a height suitable for acting in action movies, handsome and stylish, with characteristics, good enough recognition, decent temperament, suitable for playing the protagonist, and sculpture-like muscle groups, tough enough, and soft muscle shapes and body contours, with that kind of streamlined beauty, no sense of roughness, in line with the aesthetics of our people. β
"These basic conditions alone are extremely good, and they can completely crush their peers, and even their predecessors can't compare. Let's put it this way! In the field of action movies, if there are no such excellent external conditions, it is useless for actors to fight and fight, and they can't play the leading role. In fact, there is no shortage of actors who can play in the industry today, there are professional masters of national arts, but there is indeed a lack of actors with good conditions like Zhou Yi. Now many actors can rely on their faces to eat, but they are unwilling to practice, and when they were children, they didn't play well on the foundation, which is a very bad trend, but there is no way. The living conditions are good, and parents are reluctant to let their children suffer from snacks. Zhou Yi's condition is indeed rare, and he is naturally suitable for playing the leading role. β
"It's just that Zhou Yi is going to school, otherwise many big projects will take the initiative to find the door."
Director Xu's evaluation of Zhou Yi is indeed very high, and it can be seen that he admires Zhou Yi very much.
"Director Xu is too award-winning. When it comes to action scenes, I won't be humble, and I'm very sure of being the leading actor in any first-class production. If you can't say that the professional national art eight dans can't work, it's a joke. It's just that in terms of acting skills, I am inferior, compared with our company's big brother Gao Song, and compared with Zheng Zilong's big brother, it is a lot worse, and the actor who plays the big production may be a little reluctant. This is also the purpose of my school in Yanying, to improve my acting skills as soon as possible, and avoid the situation where I can play and can't act. β
Zhou Yi made a simple statement.
Xu Qianye nodded and said, "This is the right thing to do." Only by laying a solid foundation can the future be immeasurable. β
Zhuo Qinglian asked with interest: "Director Xu, in your heart, what is the current level of Zhou Yi's acting skills and action scenes?" β
Xu Qianye explained with a smile.
"It's not a simple evaluation. Due to the different types of films, the performance requirements for the actors are naturally different. For example, some literary films with ideological depth and cultural connotation require sufficient life experience and social experience, and Zhou Yi's acting skills are obviously not up to standard, which is what we often say, actors can't control the role. But if you act in some pure love youth romance films, or campus films or something, even if your acting skills are a little poor, you can pass if you make up for it with your appearance. For another example, acting in some spy war films, war movies and the like that require in-depth acting skills, at this stage, Zhou Yi may be quite difficult. β
"However, Zhou Yi has just started to learn acting, and it doesn't matter if it's in the future, not now. Especially in action movies, some protagonists are relatively simple and do not have high acting requirements, so it is easy to perform. Even if Zhou Yi is acting now, it will not be a problem. But there are also some action movies where the protagonists are more complex and have deep connotations, and they require good acting skills, and Zhou Yi will be very difficult. β
"Everyone may think that the role of an action movie does not require too high acting skills, but this is not the case, some classic roles cannot be without acting skills, not just playing, but also being able to act. Presumably, Zhou Yi himself understands this truth, so he has to go to Yanying for further study. Of course, if you want to talk about action scenes, Zhou Yi is naturally very clever and has already proved it, so there is no need to say more. β
"Recently, I have seen some industry film critics comment on and score your new film Zhengdong, although there are some elements of touting and publicity, but the evaluation of Zhou Yi is basically fair and objective, especially the action scenes are normal to get full marks."
"If you evaluate it from my point of view, at present, Zhou Yi's acting skills are about 70 points, and the action scenes are at least 95 points or more. Don't think that the acting score is low. Basically, you performed the basic characteristics of the role, and if you meet the standards in all aspects, your acting skills are considered to be passing. On top of that, there can be some wonderful individual performances, even if it is 70 points. If you can have a deeper performance, you can get 80 points, but now Zhou Yi can't do it. If you can dedicate an actor-level performance, it is 90 points. Further up, that kind of performance is super god-level, which can be met but not sought, and requires a particularly suitable role, and the actor's inspiration and acting skills explode. Zhou Yi doesn't have to think so much now, at this age, he has done a good job. β
Everyone nodded their heads and agreed with this evaluation.
