Chapter 386: Boot Conference

"Everyone is seated, the boot conference is about to start!"

After a short time, Menjie arrived in the film and television city, a place specially used to hold a start-up press conference for the crew, and all the actors were already in place, waiting for the official start of the start-up press conference, the entry of reporters and questions.

With the shouting of the staff, all the reporters who had been waiting outside for a long time also began to flock into the room, and most of the able-bodied reporters began to push hard in order to occupy a relatively front row position and ask Menjie and others some questions, and the scene was very chaotic.

But after all, he has participated in many opening press conferences, and Menjie has seen this situation many times, and he didn't feel too uncomfortable, and even turned his head and nodded at Yao Chen and Shen Qiu, the two newcomers not far away, signaling them not to be nervous.

But obviously, Menjie's worries are superfluous, after all, Yao Chen and Shen Qiu are also actors who have graduated for a period of time and are from professional classes, for such a situation, they have seen it several times as early as when they were in school, although they are a little restrained, but they are not surprised, and they still maintain a normal mentality.

Finally, after a short period of time, the positions that were basically more favorable to the interview were occupied by the large media in the front, and the small media in the back all found some positions casually, sat down, and the whole scene calmed down.

At today's press conference, Menjie, God of Wealth, Shang Jing and others have all come over, it stands to reason that Menjie, as an investor and starring, should sit in the first position, but after all, he is too young, and his debut time is not long, and his foundation is unstable. In the end, Men Jie retreated to the next best thing, letting director Shang Jing sit in the first place, and he and the God of Wealth sat on both sides of Shang Jing.

Most of the time, the director sits in the first place, and it is normal for Menjie to arrange it like this.

Next to Menjie, they were Yao Chen, Shen Qiu and Yang Mi, two newcomers plus one who took the time to come over when he was busy with his studies. Yang Mi, who was about to show her face at the launch press conference, would go home, and beside the God of Wealth, there were old actors such as Jia Jingwen, Jiang Chao, and Xiao Jian, who sat on the chairs at the front.

And behind Menjie and the others. There are also a lot of actors, but most of them are some supporting roles. For example, Luo Tao, who plays the role of the thief god Ji Wuji, will appear in the last episode or two. Yao Chen's husband is standing behind Menjie and others, and the position of the second echelon can earn some shots, which is not too much of a loss.

Not long after, after a series of speeches by director Shang Jing. The launch conference of this TV series "Wulin Gaiden" has officially begun!

"Menjie, may I ask why you would choose to shoot a TV series today when your film industry is booming. And is it a TV series with a low status like an indoor sitcom? ”

At the beginning of the inquiry, Menjie unfortunately won the lottery and was asked a more pointed question by a reporter.

However, Menjie was not unhappy about this, after all, although this question was acute, the reporter did not have the idea of finding fault, and Menjie still answered it with a pleasant face.

"I'm an actor, whether it's filming movies or TV series, my job and task is to bring good film and television works to the audience and to all those who like me, although I have a little bit of success in the film industry now, but this does not prevent me from shooting TV series!"

After a slight pause, Menjie said, "As long as it's a script I like, as long as it's a good script, I won't think about whether it's a TV series or a movie, whether it's a big production or a small-budget production, whether it's a protagonist or a supporting role, as long as it's a good script that suits me, I will consider it!" ”

After speaking, Menjie couldn't help laughing, and teased the God of Wealth on the side, "Just like this time, when I first saw the script, I was deeply attracted by this script, although its investment is not large, and the eighty episodes of the TV series are only about 20 million, although it is a TV series, and it is also an indoor sitcom......

"Even when I saw the script, there was no company willing to invest in the script, but it doesn't matter, as long as I like it, I will definitely take the film, no money? It doesn't matter, I invest! ”

Menjie's series of speeches, not only the official statement, but also very real, reflect Menjie's pursuit of a good script, and also ridiculed the screenwriter Zhan Caishen, when he finished speaking, it attracted a round of applause from the reporters, and the reporter who asked the question also nodded with satisfaction and sat down.

"May I ask Jia Jingwen, now that your career is also thriving, the TV series filmed in the recent events are all some costume productions, why did you choose to shoot the indoor sitcom "Wulin Gaiden" when you went back? Is it because of Menjie's personal relationship? ”

The second reporter who got up to ask questions also asked quite sharp questions, but helplessly, these are all questions that can attract people's attention, no wonder people will ask questions, and with these questions and gimmicks, I believe it will also help the promotion of TV dramas, and Jia Jingwen, a veteran of the TV industry, did not have any twists, and answered directly.

"As I just said, the reason why I decided to star in this TV series, like Menjie, is because we saw the script and liked the script very much, and even after that, I pestered Menjie every day, and finally got approval and passed the audition, not because of personal reasons at all, in my place, work is work, personal friendship is personal relationship, although I and Menjie are sisters and brothers who have a very good relationship, but it will not affect my work because of personal relationships!"

Although the truth of the matter is that Jia Jingwen took over the filming of this TV series because of Menjie, at that time, when I heard that the investment in the entire TV series was Menjie's, I was worried that Menjie would lose all my money, Jia Jingwen didn't even read the script, so she agreed to sign a contract with Menjie.

But afterwards, after seeing this script, Jia Jingwen also deeply liked this script full of funny feelings, and once told Menjie that if this script was invested by others, Jia Jingwen would also play the role of 'Tong Xiangyu'.

Jia Jingwen has always appeared as a beauty in ancient costumes, sometimes gentle and generous, sometimes eccentric, but she can't escape the image of a 'perfect wife', although she has always wanted to subvert this image with a certain film and television work and make a certain breakthrough, but she has never succeeded.

Even, Jia Jingwen's acting skills have always been stuck at the C+ level, although her popularity is comparable to some ordinary first-line stars, but she has not been able to break through this limit, and even her own temperament has not been comprehended.

And now the script in Menjie's hand is a huge challenge to Jia Jingwen!

Similarly, the role of Tong Xiangyu also needs an image of 'gentle and generous, perfect wife', Jia Jingwen is very suitable for this image, and has absolute confidence that she can reflect this side.

But the most important thing, and the most brilliant point of Tong Xiangyu's character, is her funny!

While embodying the image of 'gentle and generous, perfect wife', it also needs to be 'passive and funny', when encountering some special plots, Jia Jingwen needs to create a very funny atmosphere with a sense of subversive image, which makes people laugh.

If you want to be funny, you must pay for your gentle and generous image, and deliberately create an image that is either embarrassing, or resentful, or nagging, in order to achieve a funny effect.

This is very difficult for Jia Jingwen, who has never been involved in funny.

But......

Jia Jingwen also fully believes that as long as she is willing to work hard and think hard and figure it out, she will definitely be able to play this role well, and the day she can really play this role well is probably the day when her acting skills really break through her own limit!

Therefore, for the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", Jia Jingwen's attention can be said to be no less than that of Menjie, after all, this is her only breakthrough opportunity in a short period of time!

"Director Shang Jing, I would like to ask, regarding the casting of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", why do you use two new actors? Is it because Mr. Menjie intervened in the casting, or because of insufficient investment and unable to invite heavyweight stars? ”

Immediately afterwards, another reporter asked, among his questions, a small trap was set, two choices, no matter which one to choose, it will put Menjie and others into a very embarrassing situation, this approach really makes Menjie a little unhappy, but simply, director Shangjing has rich experience, and it is impossible to be overshadowed by such a clumsy question.

"Actually, Shen Qiu and Yao Chen, two newcomers, are one of the five protagonists, and they are me, God of Wealth, and Menjie, who are jointly selected and auditioned for roles, although they are all newcomers, and their acting skills are slightly inferior to those who have become famous actors like Menjie and Jia Jingwen, but they are all very powerful newcomers, their own strength is enough, and in terms of image, it is also very in line with the roles in the TV series, and there is no 'roll call' or 'insufficient salary'!"

Listening to Shang Jing's words, Menjie couldn't help but nodded, the truth of the facts, it's really like this, although the two of them have not awakened their temperament because of their lack of acting skills, but since they have this kind of temperament in their bodies, in terms of image, the two are also very much like scholars and chivalrous women.

Although the temperament has not yet awakened and is slightly insufficient, it is enough to star in an indoor sitcom, which is also the main reason why Menjie, Shangjing, and God of Wealth chose them. (To be continued......)
