Chapter 108: Invitation
The Golden Horse Award, the Golden Image Award, and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award are the three awards in the field of Huaguo, of which the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Image Award are for the film field, while the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award are for the TV drama field. The Golden Horse Awards are presented in November every year, and the award ceremony of the Academy Awards is staggered by about half a year with the Golden Horse Awards, and is held in April every year.
Although the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards are both film award ceremonies, there are also differences, the Golden Horse Awards are more fond of commercial films, while the Academy Awards are more like awards ceremonies for academic films, and they are not very eye-catching for films with a strong commercial atmosphere. "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a big production with an investment of 500 million, what is a big production, in the intuitive judgment of many people, the so-called big production is dazzling special effects, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is no exception, it can be said that this martial arts movie meets the definition of a commercial blockbuster in most people's minds, and it will naturally be the protagonist in the Golden Horse Awards.
"Excuse me, but who are you? Have we seen this before? Nanfeng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and muttered in his heart, he didn't seem to know him.
"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Li Guoli, I am the director of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", to be precise, one of the assistant directors, this is the first time we have met, it is a pleasure to meet you Nanfeng." Li Guoli smiled and stretched out his right hand to the south wind.
"Nice to meet you, Director Li." Although Nanfeng didn't know what Li Guoli's purpose was for getting acquainted with him, he still shook hands with Li Guoli politely, and Nanfeng made up his mind to respond to all changes with the same to see what Li Guoli's purpose was.
"Speaking of which, I recommended you to Director Yu at the beginning, but I just listened to your "Da Lang Laughing Jianghu" at the time, and I thought you might be satisfied with Director Yu's requirements, but I didn't expect the final result to be far better than I imagined, Nanfeng, you are really powerful......" Li Guoli flattered for a while, and said that Nanfeng was a little embarrassed.
"I have to repair Director Li's recommendation more, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this opportunity." Nanfeng was not in a hurry or impatient, and continued to accompany Li Guoli to play Tai Chi, since the other party took the initiative to find him, then there must be something.
"Nanfeng, there's a nice café nearby, how about we go have a drink?" Li Guoli saw that Nanfeng was not in a hurry or impatient, and realized that it would be difficult to make any progress in this way, so he directly sent an invitation to Nanfeng.
"Director Li, please." Nanfeng did not refuse Li Guoli's invitation, and Nanfeng realized that maybe after the conversation between himself and Li Guoli ended, he would have unexpected gains.
"Director Li, you suddenly found me, there should be something to talk to me, right?" Nanfeng took a sip of coffee and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, that's true, this time I took the liberty to invite you over, and I did have some things to consult your opinion." Li Guoli smiled and suddenly asked, "Nanfeng, do you have any plans for your future career development?" ”
"Me?" Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what Li Guoli had in mind, "This mainly depends on the company's arrangement for me, and if there is no accident, I should immediately start preparing the second chapter album." ”
Nanfeng's first album is not a new song, and Dynasty Entertainment is already preparing for the release of Nanfeng's second album, and with Nanfeng's creative speed, it will start to release a new album in September. Two months before the first album, the second album was released immediately, which was unthinkable in the past, but now that the era of physical records has passed, and the medium of music has begun to change, this kind of speed is nothing.
In fact, there are very few singers nowadays who are on the right track, and most singers release EPs or even singles, after all, good songs are not so easy to collect. The reason why Nanfeng released the album is because he is not worried about the source of good songs.
"I mean, are you going to be in the music scene all the time?" Li Guoli asked suddenly.
"Growing in the music scene? Is there anything wrong with that? Nanfeng asked with a frown.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else." Li Guoli saw that Nanfeng's expression had changed slightly, and immediately explained, "Now in the entertainment industry, there are very few pure singers or actors, everyone is trying to diversify their development, and there are not a few big names in the film industry who are singers today, I mean to ask, Nanfeng, do you have the idea of entering the film and television industry." ”
"This ......" Nanfeng didn't know how to answer for a while, he is not a pure musician, although he has the talent of absolute hearing, but for music, he can't be as pious as pure musicians like Yi Sen, or rather, what he is keen on is not music, but the feeling of being noticed by all kinds of people.
"I'm sorry, Director Li, about my future development, it still depends on how the company arranges it, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to promise you anything now." Nanfeng said apologetically.
"No, Nanfeng you underestimated your value, with your current popularity and future potential, it is completely possible to make your brokerage company value your own ideas." Li Guoli tried his best to explain something, "As long as you express your intention to enter the film and television industry to your agent, your company will definitely seriously consider your needs." ”
"Director Li, do you ......" Nanfeng seemed to understand Li Guoli's intentions,
"Since I've already said this, I won't sell it." Li Guoli decided not to sell Guanzi with Nanfeng anymore, "I have been a drama manager for five years and an assistant director for eleven years, and now I feel that I have the ability to direct alone, so I plan to fly solo." ”
"Congratulations to Director Li, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, I don't know what Director Li wants to say to me." Nanfeng had already guessed Li Guoli's intention, but he was still waiting for Li Guoli to speak in person to explain his intention.
"Now that I've found the script, although you're still a newcomer, I'm very optimistic about your popularity, so I hope you can participate in my play." Li Guoli's intention was as expected by the south wind.
Acting is very unfamiliar to Nanfeng, he has never learned acting, of course, if you have to say that you have acting experience, it is probably accumulated during the filming of the MV, but Nanfeng knows that he has a few pounds and taels, and he doesn't think he can film. However, if he refuses directly, he can't say it, you must know that this is a rare cross-border opportunity, and it will not come again!
"Director Li, to be honest, I'm still very interested in filming, but I don't have any acting experience at all, I'm afraid it's difficult to be qualified for the role you give." Nanfeng smiled wryly, waiting for Li Guoli's next step.
"No one is born to act, I've seen worse ones, and I believe that with my guidance, you can be fully qualified for my play." Li Guoli was a little moved when he saw that the south wind was a little moved, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Director Li, even if I am willing, but I can't give you an affirmative answer, this matter needs the nod of my agent, or I will call my agent now and ask my agent to come over, and you can talk to him?" Nanfeng asked.
"To tell you the truth, in fact, I am the only one in this crew now." Li Guoli smiled bitterly.
"You're alone?" Nanfeng was completely stunned this time, what kind of rhythm is this.
"Yes, I just got the script, but I've already shown it to Director Yu, Director Yu thinks this book is not bad, it has a certain market potential, and it also supports me to fly solo Director Yu." Li Guoli can move out of righteousness to increase his bargaining chips.
"May I take the liberty of asking, what is the state of this drama now? Are the actors all set? Nanfeng asked speechlessly.
"No, in fact, now I have decided on one of your actors, and none of the other actors have been decided, but the casting of roles is not a troublesome matter, and the biggest trouble now is to find investors." Li Guoli asked with an embarrassed face, "If you can, you can ask your company if you have any intention of investing in this play, and if you want, I can let you play the male lead." ”
After listening to Li Guoli's words, Nanfeng was completely speechless, and the so-called drama was still in a theoretical state after a long time, and even investors were not pulled, so it can be said that it was completely Li Guoli's own imaginary existence.
"Director Li, I don't think you need to ask at all, although our Dynasty Entertainment also invests in film and television, but mainly in the field of film, we rarely participate in the field of TV dramas." Nanfeng shook his head.
Dynasty Entertainment is a new entertainment company that has risen in the past one or two decades, and compared with several other old entertainment companies, the biggest weakness is probably that it does not have a TV station of its own, so it has never been interested in TV drama investment. However, Dynasty Entertainment, as a new force, also has its own advantages, that is, Feihu.com, an online media, is very supportive of online micro-movies.
"I'm curious, what role Director Li planned to give me at the beginning." Nanfeng asked.
"If you agree to join this drama, regardless of whether Dynasty Entertainment is willing to invest or not, the male number two will definitely be for you." Li Guoli promised, "You don't have to be surprised, in fact, what I fancy is your popularity, I believe that with your talent, it will be better in the future, so while you are still a newcomer, hurry up and settle you, and wait for you to come and invite you after you become popular, it is not as easy as it is now." ”
"This is a disguised investment behavior, in addition, I also fancy your music creation talent, I hope you can create a theme song for this show, it's as simple as that." Li Guoli explained, "As for the male and female No. 1, I intend to use it as a bargaining chip to attract investment, please forgive me. ”
Regarding the other party's explanation, Nanfeng smiled and did not comment, the theme song is fake, and his popularity is real. However, Li Guoli has already said so frankly, and Nanfeng will no longer play false.
"Director Li, if your crew invites me to participate after it is officially formed, I think my company will agree." Nanfeng gave him a positive signal, but Nanfeng was not optimistic that this still imaginary crew could be established.
(I have to work overtime tomorrow, and I have to work two days off for the Dragon Boat Festival, dare to ask who is more sad than me!) )
