Chapter 733: The Storm of Picking Actors Five
Hollywood is a capitalist market, and it is also a market where interests are paramount, or in other words, because most Western countries are capitalist countries, this concept also radiates to the entire European and American film markets.
So how much weight can the film companies and film actors in Hong Kong City play in such a market? Obviously, it's okay to play by yourself behind closed doors, and if you want to go to the European and American markets to eat, it is light to touch a blue nose and swollen face, and it is normal for the head to break and bleed.
Wu Chen said it in a word, just by virtue of his status as a superstar director in the world film industry and Hollywood, with the liquidity of Atlantis International Film and Television Group of tens of billions of US dollars, and with his strong box office appeal and influence, who would dare to do anything with him?
Most of those countries in Southeast Asia are within the radiation range of the mercenary forces, and it's easier to do, isn't it just a trick, and the mercenary corps will send someone to say hello and completely block it, how big is it?
The Huaxia Branch of Atlantis International Film and Television Group belongs to Wu Chen's film company registered in the mainland, and it is necessary to pay taxes to the Huaxia tax authorities, and it is another matter to reduce or exempt it, and Wu Chen is also an upright mainlander who has always retained his Chinese nationality.
Assuming that the two sides engage in market competition openly, the competent authorities will naturally not take action to help which one, the palms and backs of the hands are meat, and the port city is an inseparable part of China, everyone is their own people, and it is easy to talk behind closed doors.
However, if those film companies in Hong Kong City adopt indiscriminate measures and have unfair competition behaviors, then wait for the knife, the market needs to be healthy competition, and Hong Kong City is not superior, you should continue to close the door and play by yourself!
"Don't get me wrong, it's not that someone dares to stop the crew and don't let us make movies in Hong Kong City, just by virtue of your status and status, but if you want to eat in this industry, no one has the courage to offend you! Yes, I know that the films you directed yourself have a very high gold content, and they are aimed at the global market, and they will definitely gain something in the international film festival, so many film companies in Hong Kong City approached me and wanted to stuff actors into the crew. ”
"You also know that I have lived in Hong Kong City for so many years, and there are many people who have helped me, and I can't avoid the requirements of some old friends and seniors, and it is also my responsibility to promote the younger generations, so it is better to avoid the environment of Hong Kong City." Cheng Long said helplessly.
"Oh, I see, it's human nature, I can understand what those people are thinking, and it's not news to go through the back door. Let's do it, let's move the crew of "Baby Project" to the Golden Triangle City for filming, and whoever wants to stuff people with you can push it on me. ”
"I'm worried about how to promote the tourism resources of the Golden Triangle, just use this movie as a foreshadowing, a month later, you take all the actors who participated in the filming of this movie, go directly to the company headquarters of the Golden Triangle Film City, and I will arrange a special person to receive you." Wu Chen's tone suddenly softened.
The Bureau of Radio, Film and Television also advised Wu Chen to a limited extent, and there was no other voice in the follow-up, completely ignoring the threat theory of those film companies, if anyone is not convinced, just show Wu Chen's original words, it's not that we don't care, it's you who want to find the reason from yourself, and take back your eyes on Wu Chen!
In the era of market competition, development and progress are the key, government departments will not interfere with the laws of the market, if you don't wake up, the signed actors are all poached and deserve it, natural selection is the last word, who makes you not angry?
"This is definitely a movie that makes the audience cry uncontrollably, and it is conceivable that when it is screened, the cinema must be filled with low sobs, which is often more devastating than crying, and I dare not read the script now, for fear that my tears will dry up and I will not be able to express his exposition of love." These are the words of the weekly news.
After Wu Chen's careful consideration, she served as the heroine of the movie, Liu Yunlong as the male lead, Wu Xiubo as the male lead, and Xu Jinglei as the girlfriend of the male lead, that is, the first supporting actress. Common sense knowledge, the heroine's lines and shots are the most, and the use and performance of emotions are naturally more distinct and prominent.
"Director Wu Chenda's talent is unparalleled, he personally adapted or created, and personally directed five scripts, and shot five films that won the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Picture, I have seen every one, probably because of the girl, every step earned me tears."
"I didn't expect that when I participated in the filming in person, I realized that Wu Chen's exposition of love is far more moving than I understand, I dare to say that the story of "Let Me Put on a Wedding Dress for You" can at least win a trophy for each of us." Xu Jinglei said with a sigh.
After Wu Chen entered the work state, every actor was under tremendous pressure, this is a love literary film, there are no hot scenes, from the dialogue, environmental atmosphere and body language, etc., to interpret a love tragedy, the acting skills of the actors are very high, the speed of speech, tone, eyes and expressions, almost not at all.
Wu Chen's style of directing is relatively mild, and he is also very patient with the actors, it was originally a storyboard script, and he also broke down the details that need to be paid attention to in each shot, and analyzed it without leaking, which is very good for the actors to understand the plot.
But his requirements are too high, although these four people are currently the best young actors in the Chinese film industry, and they have talent and acting experience, but it is common to shoot a scene three or five times or even a dozen times in a row, especially when it comes to emotional release.
"Oh my God, Liu Yunlong and Zhou Xun are extremely miserable today, they haven't passed the test more than 30 times in a row, I think it's terrifying!" Xu Jinglei looked at the two exhausted heroes and heroines and felt a chill in her heart.
She also knows that this scene is one of the most classic scenes in this movie, the male protagonist accompanies the heroine to try on the wedding dress, thinking that he can't walk into the wedding hall with his beloved after all, and runs to the street to cry while walking, crying heartbreaking and painful, and the heroine hides behind him, suppressing her voice, can't stand such torture and sobs.
The filming location is in a bridal shop, and the props needed by Atlantis International Clothing Company and Atlantis International Jewelry Company provide the required props, this scene is a great test of the acting skills of the two, as an actor, crying is not a good ability, crying makes the audience bring their own emotions into the movie, which is the scene that the director needs.
"Liu Yunlong ran out of the bridal shop to the street, these few steps are more than 20 meters, back and forth dozens of times, I think I can't hold it if I am replaced." Wu Xiubo was also breaking out in a cold sweat on his head.
Look at the great director Wu Chen, sitting behind the camera smoking a cigar, his expression is calm and not in a hurry at all, and his spirit is still so vigorous. No matter how much time a classic shot takes, the director seems to be worth it, this is the finishing touch as the idiom goes.
