Chapter 340: The International Blockbuster "Lust and Caution" (4 more, plus 20/21)

Seeing that the reporter did not speak, the editor-in-chief thought that he was not convinced, and continued:

"Do you think that Xu Jin alone is worth putting Pepsi into so much thought? It's not that Pepsi is afraid of being dug up more fierce material, which has affected all advertising image spokespersons!

The news I received was that the female star Sisi took the lead in refusing to shoot according to the requirements and conditions specified in the contract, and a bunch of female singers picked and chose there, which made Xu Jin angry!

Xu Jin scolded them in public for being disrespectful, wasting everyone's time, and only under the deterrence of force did the filming go smoothly, you pig head, study hard! ”

The reporter was scolded by the editor-in-chief, and even resented the female star Sisi in his heart.

The next day, neither magazines nor newspaper media broke the news about the Pepsi Cola's advertising shooting turmoil.

As for Sisi, he was warned by Pepsi, and his resentment towards Xu Jin in his heart went to a higher level.

"Xu Jin, the script of your dreams is here!"

In the office, He Chuan gave Xu Jin a notebook, he didn't know the content of the script, he only knew the name of the script and the director's name-

"Lust and Caution", directed by Ang Lee!

Ang lee!

The pupils in Xu Jin's eyes shrank, an international blockbuster deserves to be an international blockbuster, just with the name "Ang Lee", once the words are released, the entire Chinese entertainment circle will be shocked!

Xu Jin's heart beat violently rarely, he took a few deep breaths, looked at He Chuan, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that after Weizhou's music results came out, the company would give me an audition for an international blockbuster?" ”

He Chuan said: "The two songs you handed over to Wei Zhou, the company sent professionals to see them, and the people in the music department agreed that they could catch fire, and the opportunity should not be lost, and the time would not come again, so I will give it to you now."

It just so happened that this drama was in the casting process recently, and this opportunity was missed, and it may not be possible to encounter such a good international blockbuster next year. ”

He Chuan said, feeling a little excited.

What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Xu Jin just sat down, and he was already about to start a higher level of movies, and even set off internationally!

He Chuan brought so many stars, singers and actors, but only Xu Jin gave him such a big surprise!

In the past, he felt that celebrities needed to rely on their lives, but when he saw Xu Jin, he didn't think so, celebrities wanted to be popular, not only by life, but also by strength.

Xu Jin completely relied on his own strength to rush forward steadily.

Xu Jin nodded, put his hand on the script, and said, "Brother He, if you see the company high, please help me say thank you to them for the company's cultivation of me." ”

He Chuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Work hard, you are estimated to be able to meet the second sharing condition this year, and the company will only pay more and more attention to you." ”

Xu Jin only remembered at this time that in the contract signed with the company before, there was a ladder change in terms of income, and if the income was very good and reached a certain digit, the company would make a profit in terms of sharing.

He still remembers that when he first signed the contract, he didn't think he would be able to meet this condition in five years, but now, maybe he can really make an impact.

He clenched his fists fiercely, and with apprehension, he opened "Lust and Caution".

"Lust and Caution" is adapted from a short story of the same name by a famous author, and it is first of all a film and television drama with content and depth foundation.

Secondly, its background is a bit heavy, it is set in Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War in the 40s of the 20th century, telling the story of Wang Jiazhi, a female college student, who uses her beauty to approach the traitor Mr. Yi with the intention of assassination.

This drama is also more laborious than he imagined to understand, just started watching it for the first time, he still couldn't understand it, he could only stay on the surface, I felt that this was a love drama, a love tragedy that was destined not to succeed in a complex background.

But Ang Lee is famous and has gained so much prestige in the world, how can he just make an ordinary tragic romantic drama?

So Xu Jin brought the script to the apartment, and this time he also bought the original book to read together.

Not only the short story of "Lust and Caution", but he also bought the author's other ones to read together.

If you can't read the ideas that an author wants to express, then find other works by the same author, follow the author's progress bit by bit, and slowly dig out her thoughts.

After watching it for the second time, Xu Jin faintly felt something.

Then he watched it a third time, and only then did he see the spy war, the suspense, and how hard-won the victory of a nation was from this big web full of love, love, and desire.

"Lust and Caution" is a movie about the feelings of the family and the country in its bones, but the external packaging is sex, love, and film.

After reading all the other works of the family, Xu Jin realized that this film also told a second story.

The first story is the story of a group of hot-blooded young people who go to assassinate traitors.

And the second story may be the story of that family.

This film seems to be a romance film, but it can actually be regarded as a spy war movie.

People of different ages have different opinions on this film, and through the script of this film, Xu Jin can feel that the director wants to dig out more thought-provoking questions from this film.

Xu Jin let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand to scratch his head: "It's still too young......"

There are some emotions that I haven't experienced, I haven't experienced so I can't understand them.

But it doesn't matter, fortunately, he didn't go for the traitor of the protagonist Mr. Yi in this film, and the audition role given by the company was a patriotic young man with a lot of weight - Kuang Yumin!

No matter how the director wants to shoot this drama and what concept he wants to convey through this play, as an actor, you can not understand the director's complex inner world, especially this kind of famous director, which is even more difficult to understand.

The only thing Xu Jin can do is to explore Kwong Yumin's inner world, and then become Kwong Yumin.

The actors perform the joys and sorrows of the characters, and the audience, as spectators, is not just the joys and sorrows of one person, but a group portrait, a kind of social joys and sorrows.

Many times, it is often not how meaningful the character is, maybe it is just an ordinary ordinary character, but under the background of the times, under the backdrop of other group portraits, that ordinary character is given a different meaning.

But the meaning of this is how meaningful the audience sees what is given, not the character itself.

Xu Jin is not a director, he can't control the audience's thoughts, and with his current level, he doesn't have the ability to explore anything other than jumping out of the role.

Kuang Yumin, a patriotic youth, the head of the troupe, is the superior of Wang Jiazhi and others. He was extremely resentful of Wang Jingwei and other traitors. Therefore, the troupe was sent to assassinate Mr. Yi.

As the head of the troupe, proficient in singing various songs, Xu Jin not only showed the songs in the script, but also searched for a lot of patriotic songs of that era and began to learn them one by one.

In order to figure out the role, he stopped other commercial performances, except for the announcement that was set a long time ago, and he will not receive the notice after that.

Just as he was feeling it, suddenly, Liu Yifei made a phone call.

"Hello?"

Liu Yifei said hesitantly: "Xu Jin ......"

Xu Jin heard her entanglement and patiently asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I mean, if there was an opportunity in front of you to go international, a blockbuster by a famous director, would you choose to accept it?"
