Chapter 278: We have no bottom line

After one day of filming, Shao Yingying was more or less reborn, due to the haste of the change, he always had to consider the details in advance before filming today, and only after careful consideration did he dare to stand up. The dare here is not for the director's face, but for the awe of acting, just like burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, to be pious.

From the more and more details he takes into account, Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington communicate more and more with him, too, these two people have won the Oscar three times alone, and if they want to get their guidance, they must come up with something real, if they don't look at it, these two are really silent and golden, it's a big deal to be said to have made a bad movie, anyway, one or two bad movies won't ruin their reputation, who let Hollywood still have a Nicolas Cage there to support the title of the king of bad movies.

With more and more contact with these two actors, Shao Yingying found that the two of them are stronger than others only because they are willing to think more, and the direction of consideration is also very comprehensive, Tom Hanks said that a good actor not only has to think about the role from the position of the role, but also from the position of other characters in the script to think about his own role, you can only know whether the self you see is reasonable when you stand in the position of others; Denzel Washington also said that the rhythm of an actor's acting is in his own hands, but when the actor lets go of his hands, that is, when the movie appears on the big screen, this rhythm will become the audience's control, and if you can't let yourself sit in the movie theater and see the performance before acting, you will never be a good actor.

The two men said something about the same thing, but. That's how they succeeded.

In fact, the success of an actor may not be the secret of many secrets, in the eyes of truly successful people, all shortcuts in the world are attempts to detour. Only when you pass through one level at a time will you understand the beauty of the rainbow and understand the changes in your state of mind, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to have a feeling.

They just kept the simple and easy-to-understand truth in mind and did it to the extreme, that's all. But how many people can really do this, and want to understand?

This drama with a lot of emotion has been filmed so far, and Shao Yingying finally has an experience. After returning to the hotel, when he began to figure it out again, he found that he and the characters were no longer integrated, but could be separated from each other. Watch the character act according to their own mindset. Then judge from an objective point of view. This seems to be a new realization, but in fact, when every actor has just entered the industry and can't integrate with the role, isn't it all acting from this perspective? At that time, if someone told them this truth, they would never believe it, and they might even think that you were satirizing him and entertaining him.

The night passed like this, and when Shao Yingying got up early the next morning, he suddenly remembered the interview scene played by Tom Hanks, in that scene. Tom Hanks didn't cry, and he probably made the decision after considering it from other angles. The essence of this, if there were no ten years of waste, Shao Yingying could be sure that he would never be able to taste it.

"Shao."

When he arrived on the set, Tom Hanks took the initiative to greet Shao Yingying, and sat with him before filming: "Tell me about Hollywood actors in the Chinese market, okay?" ”

Shao Yingying glanced at Tom Hanks and asked incomprehensibly, "Who are you?" ”

"You may also know that there are more and more Chinese people in Hollywood TV series and movies recently, of course, you also know the habits of these people, when we have entanglements with those countries, people from this country will become villains in the movie......" Tom Hanks laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "But I think things are not so simple now, now the box office market in China is getting better and better, and Hollywood movies want to be imported into the market by China. For this reason, it is not only a signal that the movie is set in a certain city in China, or simply invite Chinese actors to join. ”

He turned his head to look at Shao Yingying and said: "I'm not a businessman, but I have to care about the box office results of the movies I starred in, "Avatar" has created a box office of nearly 200 million US dollars in China, if this money is calculated into the total box office of an ordinary Hollywood movie, it can immediately raise a movie to another level, even if this movie does not have any success in the North American market." ”

Tom Hanks speaks calmly, despite talking about one of the two things an actor cares about the most.

"I see, do you mean to know the preferences of Chinese audiences, such as what kind of performance they like, which type of character, or whether they will be satisfied with those performances and disgusted by those performances, after all, this is very important to the box office."

Shao Yingying is sure that Tom Hanks will not care about whether the number of imported films in China will increase, but there is no actor who does not care about the total box office results of his films.

"yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

Shao Yingying smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, you guys are a little underestimating the receptivity of the Chinese audience, really." Do you believe it, the TV series "Breaking Bad" has been thoroughly analyzed by Chinese audiences to the point that even the original screenwriter and the original director can't think of it; "Spartacus" is also not demonized, and the historical allusions outside the bloody and large-scale shots and the reasons why Spartacus failed in the uprising have been analyzed. Tong guò these two TV series, it can be judged that the Chinese audience is addicted to good stories, if it is an adapted script, the Chinese audience will also be interested in the original work, so you don't have to worry about our acceptance range at all, as long as it is a good thing, we can accept it. ”

"We don't have a bottom line." Shao Yingying also said jokingly.

"Then why can't many Hollywood movies enter China?" Tom Hanks said very depressedly: "The same movie can be released in Xiangjiang and Treasure Island...... I can't figure it out. ”

What can Shao Yingying say about this? Let's tell the truth, if one day Tom Hanks said to reporters in an interview: "My friend Shao told me that the Huaxia market is ......" Then he can't let the third master stew when he goes back?

"There's a lot of things that have a process, right? Didn't the Civil War happen in one step? Maybe it's a bit inappropriate for me to give an example, but I think the nature of the two things is the same. Shao Yingying said this sentence is equivalent to not saying it, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, he really doesn't dare to say it.

Tom Hanks saw Shao Yingying's embarrassment and did not continue to ask.

Shao Yingying changed the topic and said: "Do you know that you have been mythologized by fans in Huaxia? ”

"Is there one? I don't think so. He seemed to be in the mood again.

"Your "Philadelphia Story", "Desert Island Survivor", "Saving Private Ryan", "Happiness Terminal", "Forrest Gump", each character has fascinated the Chinese audience, do you know what they think of the movie "Impunity"?"

Tom Hanks came to the spirit: "Tell me about it. ”

"They say that this is the Oscar actor is teasing Xiao Li to play, oh, this sentence means that an old man who is proficient in chess accompanies a chess player who has just started to play chess, and deliberately let the queen lose the whole game of chess The opponent has not seen it, and he is excited to think that he has won, in fact, the old man who is proficient in chess is the elder of the little chess player, and the little chess player is happy just to enjoy the joy of family."

"Hehehe." Tom Hanks shook his head with a smile: "The Chinese audience is really ...... It's funny, they think too highly, and I know, that's not me. ”

Shao Yingying said enviously: "It's just that they love you, just like a fan of any country in the world, they love you and are willing to send you into the clouds with their own hands, they would rather watch, praise, and bless from afar, if they don't love you, they will drown you with spit, there is no reason." ”

"Other artists can't get your treatment if they want to have you."

Tom Hanks was delighted and said, "I'm going to go and thank them personally when I have the chance. ”

"What are you waiting for? After the filming of our drama, everyone has to go to Huaxia to publicize. Shao Yingying said firmly: "This is a movie that will definitely be released in mainland China." ”

"What about the North American market?" Tom Hanks asked.

Shao Yingying smiled at him.

Tom Hanks suddenly realized: "The United States already has a perfect social system to ensure this, and your purpose in making this movie is to bring it to countries in this world that have not yet perfected their social systems, Shao, you are a kind person." ”

"I'm not." Shao Yingying refused: "I don't care about other countries at all, I just want to bring it back to Huaxia, I think this kind of plagiarism is very necessary, and there will be no objection from any Mi people." You don't know how many parents in China shout in pain every year that 'human traffickers should be shot', and if it wasn't for the decision to make a film on this subject, I wouldn't have watched so many real documentaries. ”

"What are you talking about?" Denzel Washington arrived at the studio at this point and got into the conversation.

"After the filming of this drama is over, all the actors will go to Huaxia to promote." Tom Hanks replied in passing.

Denzel Washington didn't seem to be very interested, and after looking left and right, he said, "Shao, your "The Expendables" is about to be played. "Obviously, he prefers to talk about the film stuff.

"The Expendables"?

Shao Yingying almost forgot about it.

"You don't know? On August 3, the world premiere promotional posters have been plastered all over Hollywood. ”

Tom Hanks suddenly laughed: "Denzel, Shao's line of sight is about one meter in front of him when he walks these days, and everywhere he enters and leaves the set it looks like he is looking for a child, how can he look up and see the hanging poster ......" (to be continued......)
