Chapter 79: Preparations
When Zhang Yang was reading the script, Director Guan called Zhang Yang, and after learning that he had rested, he asked him to eat in the banquet hall.
Shen Xiaojing wears mountaineering clothes when she goes out, how warm she comes, but when she comes to formal occasions, she wears women's formal clothes, although she is a little fat, she is very particular about herself, and she thinks very thoughtfully everywhere, she doesn't need to talk much, she takes the initiative to arrange many things.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Director Guan was waiting at the door, and when he saw Zhang Yang coming out, it seemed that his whole person was glowing, which made people stare at him uncontrollably. At this time, the door of the elevator on the right also opened, and the female No. 1 walked out, she was wearing a red evening dress, with a pair of red high heels, wearing expensive jewelry, temperament, and beautiful, the most bright spot was her chest, she smiled politely after seeing the director and Zhang Yang.
"This is our movie, male number one, Zhang Yang, it's very popular now!" Director Guan said.
"I often hear Director Guan praise you, I also watched your works, it's really amazing, this year's best actor is none other than you!"
Zhang Yang listened to the actress very good at talking, and she looked very familiar, but she just couldn't remember the name, so she just listened to the director continue to introduce, "This is a famous actor who has won many awards, Liu Siyu!" Speaking of publicity, you are also 21 years old, Siyu is also 21, she debuted at the age of 14, she has always been famous, and her parents are old-timers in the film and television industry. ”
"I didn't shoot my first drama until I was 19 years old, and you are all seniors, please take care of me! You also need to learn from your seniors at any time! Zhang Yang responded politely, he wanted to talk about a few Liu Siyu's works, but he didn't know anything about the domestic film and television industry at all, and he couldn't praise anything.
Zhang Yang is indeed full of aura, his aura is pure, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling. After Director Guan finished the introduction, he guided everyone into the banquet hall, Zhang Yang signaled Liu Siyu to go first, and he followed on the side, as soon as the two entered the door, the main creative department stood up and applauded the two.
Shen Xiaojing was followed by a female assistant, it was Liu Siyu's, she carried a lot of things, had short hair, and looked very capable, she had never spoken, and she was much fatter than Shen Xiaojing, she was wearing a pair of glasses, which seemed incompatible with this scene.
Zhang Yang greeted everyone and sat down, and most of the people who came Zhang Yang had been introduced by Ren Huayu, mainly from the investors, the director team, and the producers. The director's purpose is to get everyone to know each other first, and when the official press conference is held, most of these people will not be in the group. On such an occasion, Zhang Yang is no stranger at all, looking at these people, I think of the Chinese bosses that my mother often receives, they are all typical, and their aura and attitude are exactly the same.
Director Guan arranged for the two to sit at the table, twenty people sat around the big room, and when everyone was seated, the two assistants consciously went out of the room, and Director Guan introduced them one by one, nothing more than a greeting, and then raised themselves to each other. When Zhang Yang listened to the bosses, many people really didn't know what Liu Siyu had filmed, and when asked, the director just said a few scenes casually, and he was not very familiar with his expression. The director has always taken good care of Liu Siyu, and it seems that there must be something behind it.
But when everyone talks about Zhang Yang, his TV series is still being released, everyone knows him, children know that when he appeared in the airport, many people asked him to sign autographs, they were crazy, Zhang Yang's plane blew up, and many people were still watching that TV series on the plane. After getting off the plane, I had to wear a mask and a hat, which did not cause a commotion again.
At the banquet, the bosses persuaded many times to drink, but the producers and the director department all blocked it, and it was a flamboyant rule not to drink at the wine table, it seems that the directors still abide by it, and the bosses give people a very temperamental feeling.
After the investors were satisfied, Director Guan and several main actors arrived in the conference room and began to talk about business, talking about the arrangements for the past ten days, arranging equestrian practice and martial arts practice every day. Other than that, there is no other arrangement. Even when the director explained the script, he followed his own ideas, and felt that the protagonist was enjoying it, including the set costumes, which were much better than in the past, and the materials were all brand new. After roughly talking about the arrangement, the director took the actors to quickly set the shape and take promotional photos, and it was already eleven o'clock at night after the event.
Zhang Yang said goodbye to everyone and went back to his room, out of politeness, when he didn't speak, he was silent, from entering the banquet to finishing his makeup, he had been a listener, and he was young, he didn't talk much, and no one cared about anything.
Shen Xiaojing took the mobile phone and handed it to Zhang Yang, "Mr. Zhang, this is the work of these actors, to be honest, these works, the reputation of the first release was very average, and I haven't heard of the male number two and the male number three, but these women can be searched, the second female is an Internet celebrity, but the first one is more famous, no matter what, the most popular thing now is only Mr. Zhang!" Mr. Zhang's group is difficult to figure out, so we have to be careful everywhere! Listening to Liu Siyu's assistant, here are either the second generation of red or the third generation of red, and there are also officials, all of these people are very shrewd! Liu Siyu's assistant is also her agent, saying that Director Guan also has a studio, as if they are all related! ”
"Have you eaten dinner?" Zhang Yang took Shen Xiaojing's mobile phone and looked at it for a while, feeling uninterested, and after listening to Shen Xiaojing's nagging, he asked.
"I've eaten it a long time ago! The crew has a meal, and the chef of the crew will prepare it for us every day, and I will deliver it to you on time every day in the future. Shen Xiaojing saw the message sent by her mobile phone and put it away in a panic.
Zhang Yang flipped through the script and felt that the script was really good, but even the screenwriters signed the names of the two directors, but what the two said was very different from what they saw, and they didn't explain a lot of history.
Seeing Zhang Yang frowning and thinking about things, Shen Xiaojing hurriedly asked after replying to the message, "What's wrong?" Mr. Zhang? Look at you so serious! ”
"You also heard at the meeting, this script is very different from what the two directors said, you think the reason why my upper part is popular is because the director spent five years creating the script, every detail is in place, and there is a special history teacher to train the customs and habits of that era, and it is extremely meticulous to have this kind of achievement! However, these two directors ......"
"I don't know if you've heard of the gunman, you wait!" After Shen Xiaojing finished speaking, she turned off all the lights in the hotel, and took her mobile phone to shine around, making sure that she didn't see the invisible camera.
Zhang Yang looked at Shen Xiaojing, although she was a little fat, her body was very dexterous, and she seemed to have had a lot of experience, and she was very vigilant in speaking and doing things. I saw that after being busy for a while, she turned on the light again.
"It is indispensable to guard against people, especially celebrities like you, I don't know who is beating your mind at the moment, always pay attention to your words and deeds! Gunner, haven't you heard of it? Shen Xiaojing asked again.
Zhang Yang shook his head, "The abbreviation of the soldier? ”
"It's not! It's just that some people have some ideas, they don't want to write, they find someone to write, and some people write stories for others in order to make quick money, and they can get thousands to hundreds of thousands after writing. After writing, the director or well-known screenwriter, or even the writer, can earn millions or even tens of millions by changing the work to his own name, and those writers behind it are called gunmen, specializing in this, and there are many on the Internet! ”
Zhang Yang listened in disbelief, "Since you can write good things!" Why don't you write it yourself and publish it? ”
"In this society now, if you don't have a reputation, no one will look at it for nothing! I have been in contact with a few screenwriters, some of them write a script, specifically find four or five screenwriters to be gunmen, create different content with a big brain, and then put it together, you can become a director's work, the money comes quickly, but there is no signature, so people can't come out for a lifetime, and it feels like they are doing coolies! When Shen Xiaojing said this, she was obviously used to it.
Zhang Yang never thought that the screenwriting industry would be like this, it seems that everything is good or not, "Then what do you mean, these two directors are likely to find someone to write it?" ”
"Absolutely, I can't understand the script, it's obvious, everyone can see it, but this matter can't be mentioned, how the director arranges it, just work hard as soon as the contract is signed!" Shen Xiaojing heard Zhang Yang's words and replied briskly.
"Hearing you say that, I regret taking it!" Zhang Yang doesn't like opportunistic things the most, it may be that many things are confused, and it is easy to go wrong, Zhang Yang sighed and said.
"However, our script looks really exciting, and it may also be a popular work, not to mention that with the support of the government, there shouldn't be much of a problem!" Shen Xiaojing immediately comforted Zhang Yang and said that sometimes she thinks that Zhang Yang is a child, but everyone says that he is smart, and Shen Xiaojing has not seen it.
"Have you ever heard of money laundering? What's going on? Zhang Yang tried to ask, he remembered that Ren Huayu had mentioned it, but he didn't explain it.
"This is a big problem, I also listened to what other actors said, now the film and television industry is very normal, a few times it changes, the black money can also be cleaned, and then sold to various TV stations or online platforms, who can find out what if it is resold like this...... Forget Mr. Zhang, don't ask, the more you know, the more it affects your mood, tell me if you remember anything, and I'll do everything I can...... There are really very few clean people in the film and television industry! You should rest early, don't bother, Manager Ren is still waiting for me to report on the work! Shen Xiaojing knew that she was talking too much, and Ren Huayu specially told her not to tell Zhang Yang all negative thoughts, and to deal with everything she could handle.
"Okay! Great work! Rest early! Good night! Zhang Yang smiled and said, but this smile is indeed very mysterious.
"You rest early! See you tomorrow! After Shen Xiaojing finished speaking, she left the room, she went out of the door, looked at the message sent again, and wondered if Mr. Zhang saw it, what if she knew, she hesitated to go up to the sixth floor.
After Shen Xiaojing left, Zhang Yang was about to wash, only to hear someone knocking on the door, and after opening the door, he saw that it was Guan Dao, who lived next door.
Zhang Yang politely invited Director Guan into the room, and after a few words of greeting, Director Guan began to ask Zhang Yang what he thought of the script.
Zhang Yang basically said that the performance method of the previous character is almost the same, it is nothing more than emptying the real self and living the state of the role again, the director applauded after hearing it, and said that he was not looking for the wrong person. The last play can be said to be strict to the point of harshness, that is, a director with a modern look will criticize the actors, with such experience first, with the same background, it is naturally not difficult to play similar roles.
The director talked to himself for another hour, kept praising and publicizing, and even patted his chest to promise that this film would definitely be a hit in the future. also said that this movie shows the strength of soldiers, which is not the same as Director Cai's, when he said that he worked hard to make one of the best movies in China, Zhang Yang was shocked by this momentum, Director Guan is indeed very serious, but if he says too much, Zhang Yang has searched for his works, and the reputation is still okay. It wasn't until Zhang Yang received a call that the director saw that he was busy and left the room.
Zou Kai didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, only saw that in the work group, Zhang Yang sent a message about joining the group and photos of the banquet. Still not at ease, only to be with the video.
"How?" Zou Kai asked quietly while lying on the bed.
"If you don't want to come to the information! Director Guan will continue to talk to me about the characters! It should be good to say that it is supported by the government, and they are all leading cadres of the central government! Zhang Yang said very unconfidently.
"You're hot enough now! My family asked me to sign it! I'll take a look at your room, it's good! The environment is very good, come on and work! You don't miss you a lot when the teachers and classmates miss you, after all, it was your idea at the beginning, and now we are all right! Don't lose your effort, come back and don't drop the chain! Zou Kai said half-jokingly.
"You just dropped the chain! Guaranteed not! Hurry up and go to sleep! Shen Xiaojing's arrangement is very good! I don't have any problems on my side! Zhang Yang was stimulated by Zou Kai again, and he annoyed others and said that he couldn't do it.
"Good! Got it! Works well! Zou Kai saw that Zhang Yang was living well, so he was relieved, turned off the video, and rested.
Zhang Yang listened to Zou Kai after speaking, only to see a lot of information in the mobile phone, what his parents told him, what his friends and teachers told him, Zhang Yang replied to everyone one by one, although the reply was late, but he didn't want people to worry.
Zhang Yang took a comfortable hot bath, thinking about the director's confident expression, self-confidence is a good thing, no matter what, it is impossible for him to drop the chain, maybe he can really make another good work.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yang saw that the time was still early, thinking about Zou Kai's advice, and said to himself, "I won't drop the chain!" "I got up early, opened the curtains, and it was just dawning.
Zhang Yang put on his sportswear and began to press his legs in the room and move his body. Fortunately, the room is relatively large, and there is a mirror, there is no problem with the activity, and the activity is good, it has been an hour.
Shen Xiaojing brought breakfast, and after eating breakfast, she inquired and found out that the eighth floor was a gym, and Zhang Yang went inside to exercise for another hour, and the gym also had a dance studio, which was just right to review dance moves. And Shen Xiaojing has been following Zhang Yang since she finished breakfast, and she doesn't exercise when she asks her to exercise, she will go out and come back after a while.
After the formal rehearsal, several leading actors just studied the script together, kept familiar, and then two hours of equestrian training in the afternoon and two hours of martial arts training, which was not difficult for Zhang Yang at all, even if he rode a horse, it was just a matter of jogging and building a relationship of trust with the horse.
Zhang Yang's script is the fastest to be familiar with, and he reacts faster than other people who have been filming for many years, and the lines are particularly life-like, except for the anti-one and the second female with their own type, the performance methods of the first female and the second male are too skillful, but the director said that this is very good, people are different, and Zhang Yang also feels a little reasonable. But Zhang Yang remembered Mr. Li, especially emphasizing that the performance was attentive, thinking of this, Zhang Yang didn't know what to do, he saw that he had always maintained a life-like performance, so he simply kept the same as him, after all, his life-style acting skills made him a great success, so he didn't take the director's words seriously.
