Chapter 564: Give way
It's July, and the sun is getting hotter.
The current rallying call is too different from before, and it is destined that there will be no such tightly wrapped winter clothes, and almost all of them travel lightly.
A month ago, when filming the war scenes, everyone was wrapped like rice dumplings, and after one game, they were covered in sweat.
And now, although it is still a war scene, every time after filming, there is a strange smell on everyone's body, sweat is like rain, but no one speaks.
A can of mung bean soup can increase the cohesion of the crew.
After adjusting the afternoon's affairs with the groups, he came to Jiang Xin, who was drinking soup in the presence of God.
"Lin, Director Lin." Jiang Xin was taken aback, her role does not have many scenes, she doesn't need acting skills at all, she just needs to do a good job of vase, which is a good place for female artists who are new to the big screen to be famous without being bitter or tired.
Lin Xiao looked at her for a few minutes, until Jiang Xinxin began to jump wildly, and then said in an affirmative tone, "Nervous? ”
Jiang Xin was stunned and hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.
"It's the first time I've played with so many big brothers...... It's very nervous. ”
"No matter where you are old, you call you old." Lin Xiao quipped, and then said seriously, "You gave up other scenes during this time, and I am very moved to make this movie that has been in action for less than ten minutes." ”
Jiang Xin's nose was slightly sour, it was really not easy for her, she was not a popular artist, let alone a person like Lin Xiao who was about to go beyond the scope of popularity.
For her, every film is an experience, a kind of training, and it is her own living expenses and her own savings.
How many TV artists are there in China? I'm afraid there are countless of them, which is also the characteristic of underdeveloped countries in the film industry, this ratio has reached several times and more than ten times that of developed film countries, but there is no one in a hundred who can go to the big screen.
For this movie, she turned down all the film contracts and announced that she would make this movie with a package price.
Unexpectedly, a big name like the male protagonist actually remembered herself, and she suddenly had a feeling that a soldier died as a confidant.
Lin Xiao didn't directly talk to her about how to resolve the tension, but talked to the other party, and he was more thorough about the psychology of the other party who had risen step by step from the bottom artist.
"Actually, I was the same at the beginning, I was always worried about whether it was right or not, and I was always worried about going wrong, but in fact, I didn't know that I was invested when I acted, and it was over soon."
"Our play is very simple, there is not much emotional exchange, you play Wang Jincun's wife, for my role, you are a passerby at the beginning. Later, I slowly changed my mentality, the key is that you don't have many lines, which is actually not difficult. ”
He said slowly, starting from how he overcame it when he was a little newcomer, and talked about the first time he played against the actor.
Jiang Xin listened silently, Lin Xiao spoke for more than ten minutes before it ended, and finally, he suddenly said, "I hope that in the next film, I can see new faces in addition to Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun." ”
Jiang Xin looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief, what did the other party mean that if he performed well this time, he would be able to get an invitation next time?
Playing with the Iron Triangle of Dawn, this is an opportunity that most artists in China can hope for!
"I'll try!" She nodded heavily.
The filming went smoothly, faster than expected in fifteen days, and on the thirteenth day, the crew packed up their things and headed to a small town ahead.
Finally, this will be the place where they will stay for at least two months, and all the filming work of the assembly will be done here.
Small towns are far more prosperous than mountain villages, at least there should be a lot, many group performances feel novel, and artists who have traveled all over the country have not had much feeling for big cities or small towns.
When you travel between cities and villages all year round, you will finally find novelty in the shortcomings.
However, as soon as he completed all the formalities with the mayor, Lin Xiao received an unexpected phone call.
It was actually Wang Zhongjun who called in person.
"Mr. Lin." His voice was rather complicated: "I can't believe that we will meet again so soon." ”
"What does Mr. Wang mean?"
Wang Zhongjun laughed dryly, the relationship between him and Lin Xiao was just a nodding acquaintance, they met twice, once to talk about the Shuguang Film Library, the conversation collapsed, and the second time was to send the Film Library, which was gnawed 5% of the profits.
He couldn't say what he was feeling about Lin Xiao, but it would never be good. However, he had already heard that Cheng Tian and Dawn had applied for many pre-classified advertisements of Dawn, but all of them had not passed, which made him have to bury his dissatisfaction.
But this time, he had to call in person anyway.
"Just half an hour ago, Vice Chairman Li Xuejian of the Film Association sent me the review list of this year's Hundred Flowers Award, and I have already seen it. However, I didn't know that you had joined the Film Association. ”
He said it very tactfully, but Lin Xiao's brows furrowed.
Wang Zhongjun didn't come to this call, he completely forgot one thing.
The Hundred Flowers Award, unlike the Golden Rooster Award, determines the ownership of the award through audience voting, which has a lot of room for dark box operation, similar to Lin Xiao's first Golden Great Wall Award, and the other party wants to buy Fan Binbin's identity, which is even more exploding.
And now, in his memory, it was the era when the Hundred Flowers Award was questioned the most, and the Hundred Flowers Award, which lost its credibility, was organized by the popular film magazine under the film association, but the organizer had no one to fund because of the credibility of the Hundred Flowers.
Finally, in 03, Huayi made a strong effort to buy the hosting rights of the Hundred Flowers Award, and since then, the Hundred Flowers Award no longer belongs to popular films.
And the organizer is naturally Huayi, which has deep pockets.
He sighed, and the interlocking behind it was all about it.
Huayi has now suffered a heavy blow, since 00, Zhao Wei, who has planned to sign a contract, finally settled in Dawn, and Zhou Xun's love injury also resolutely chose Dawn, Xu Jinglei transformed into a director, Zhang Ziyi almost doesn't have to think about it, Lao Mouzi's royal artist, who else is left?
They had to praise the newcomers, once Shuangbing, Fan Binbin and Li Binbin entered Huayi's attention at this time.
And Huayi, who is eager to support newcomers, the Hundred Flowers Award is naturally an excellent momentum ceremony.
Insiders know that this is just a self-entertainment within Huayi, and the audience is watching a lively one. But the mainstream crowd watching the movie is this group of ordinary people who watch the excitement.
Best artist, if Lin Xiao is not mistaken, Jiang Wen and Zhao Wei, who were at the top of the list, were suddenly surpassed by Fan Binbin Ge You the next day, and this time, he didn't care much about the best artist, and the best female artist was very likely to be Zhao Wei or Zhou Xun, who won the award for their painted skin.
From the end of last year to the first half of this year, the painting skin was almost unstoppable, and no one could touch it at all.
He sighed, "Mr. Wang, we are all understanding people, you have something to say." ”
On the other side of the phone, Wang Zhongjun was also silent.
Indeed, the current box office rankings, almost no need to look at it, the male and female protagonists of the painted skin are firmly in the first place, the best male artist, the best female artist, you can book Lin Xiao, Zhao Wei or Zhou Xun almost before the awards.
However, what he needs is to immediately pull out a list of artists who can get it out of Huayi to get through this eventful season.
Let Dawn and the Hundred Flowers Award hosted by Huayi win the grand prize, how uncomfortable it is.
"Mr. Lin." He said as calmly as he could, "Can you let me go?" ”
"Let whom?"
"Fan Binbin or Li Binbin. Zhou Xun Zhao Wei's side, I'll go and say. You don't mind that, do you? I'm not mistaken, this is an artist's private matter. Wang Zhongjun had a headache and said, "But the best actor ......"
"I don't care, as long as they nod, I don't mind. Male protagonist, do you want Huang Xiaoming or Ge You to be on? ”
Wang Zhongjun didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"Mr. Wang." Lin Xiao took a deep breath, "Isn't this okay?" The Hundred Flowers Award is a national award. And the two didn't have a very good report card in the first half of the year, how do you make a difference with the audience? How do you deal with the Film Association? ”
Wang Zhongjun was silent for a long time before he said bitterly, "Mr. Lin, let me tell you the truth, you are an artist, not a boss." ”
"Even if you hang up the name of the boss, even if you support the dawn, you are still an artist."
"When you look at things from the perspective of the artist, you start from the artist, and think from the artist's point of view."
"You want a level playing field? Then I can give you the award now. But, Mr. Lin, ask yourself, do you need this award? ”
"What does this award mean to you? Which prize has you won't be bigger than that? You've got your eyes on the Asian Awards right now, right? Or Cannes? Venice? His voice quickened, and he said, as if in his heart, "You don't need it, why don't you give it to us?" Huayi can pay enough for the film library to open immediately? What do you think? ”
"Chinese film and television is still a teenager, it is developing, you need a clear ocean for him to swim in. The starting point is good, but don't forget that when the water is clear, there are no fish. Most of the award ceremonies in the mainland are in one form. Forgot about the Tian Zhen incident? Ranting backstage, why didn't the most popular female singer give it to her? Didn't you say yes? ”
He sighed, "This kind of thing is too common, and as an artist in the mainland, you have to adapt to this system." Mr. Lin, I have a bad word, you have blocked the way of too many people now. No matter how many newcomers make a good film, as long as you appear, there will be no drama. Your surprisingly high ratings and box office have defied common sense. Now you need a loan to make a movie, but when you make a TV, as long as you open your mouth, I'm afraid that there are a lot of companies at your disposal. ”
"Mr. Lin, sometimes, it is also a virtue to give way to others."
After speaking, he sighed, "I'm done, Mr. Lin, you think about it, now Huayi has to rely on you, if you really need this award, I can still give it to you, however, I hope you can make a way for others, let more people see the excitement of this circle, and let them judge for themselves whether it is black or white." ”
