Chapter 80: You May Need Physical Therapy!
Kyoto, Souki Building.
Chu Moyan sat in the conference room, eating a boxed lunch, staring at the early morning and noon films, unable to take his eyes off it.
After a while, her mother Gu Feihong's video call came.
Chu Moyan was in a hurry, and his two hands were messed up. It was still the assistant who was clever and helped her press the pause button and connect the video call again.
"Mom, how are you shooting on Hong Kong Island?" Chu Moyan saw that his mother's face was full of red light, and he knew that it must be very smooth over there.
Sure enough, Gu Feihong showed a comfortable smile: "Yin Kening is an experienced old actor, he is very smart, and he can understand everything." The staff of the official station are highly disciplined and professional, and the filming work is progressing rapidly. β
Chu Moyan swallowed a chopstick fried noodles and said: "Director Zhang is really strange, it was originally a platter movie of three heroines, if everyone shoots a bunch of background story lines, then the movie won't be explosive?" β
Generally speaking, the best duration of a commercial movie released in theaters is between 90 and 120 minutes.
If it is a three-hour ultra-long movie, unless it is the work of a super-big director, the theater chain is unwilling to schedule the film.
Even if there is, it is usually held at midnight, early in the morning, with few spectators.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and if there are few films, the box office will definitely not be high.
With the same screening room and similar ticket prices, theaters are naturally willing to show shorter movies.
It's a delicate game.
Throughout the history of the box office, "Avatar" and "The Lord of the Rings" dared to break the unspoken rules of the industry and willfully did not compromise with the theaters.
Gu Feihong's "Golden Age" with Xiao Hong's personal biography as the background, the duration is nearly three hours, not surprisingly, the box office is extremely bleak, and the data of barely 50 million is really miserable.
In addition to being too literary and artistic, the length is also one of the reasons, but Gu Feihong doesn't care, she was originally going to win the award.
Later, "Golden Age" lived up to expectations and was widely praised at the Venice International Film Festival, and also won the Academy Award for Best Film.
However, "Tantan Scam King" obviously did not have a chance to win the award, and it is obviously a commercial film that takes the popular route of the public.
Gu Feihong smiled: "I don't dare to agree with this. If you are not afraid of taking too many shots, you will miss shots. You can cut it if you shoot a lot, and if you miss a shot, can you recall everyone again? That's too much cost. I think Zhang Runze's choice is very correct.
Zhao Jinmang's character is a metaphor for a female student who is mentally depleted due to bullying, while Yin Kening is experiencing a failed marriage and urgently needs feelings to fill the void in her life.
Director Zhang tried to turn the old-fashioned numbers on the case file into vivid life, so as to warn the world. β
Chu Moyan was still eating powder, she chewed slowly, thinking about her mother's words, and said, "Well, the ukiyo-e of all living beings is quite good." But if it's too messy, it won't be worth the loss. β
Gu Feihong: "I'm very relieved about this. The people under Director Zhang are particularly reliable. How's it going over there? β
Chu Moyan showed a sly smile, blinked and smiled, "Jiang Yang's performance is much better than I imagined. But how to sayβ"
The words don't reach the meaning, and I regret that I didn't read much at the beginning.
Chu Moyan held chopsticks in one hand and gestured in the air, like a gorilla in a zoo.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Gu Feihong said: "At first, you thought that he would just pass the exam, and he would have regarded it as a male vase. As a result, he played extraordinarily and scored 75 points, and you were so moved that you couldn't help but raise your expectations, and wanted him to fight hard again and get 80 or even 90 points? β
"Ah-my mother, you know me too well," Chu Moyan nodded frantically: "You didn't see him like that, wearing a suit, standing on a glass wall four or five meters high, looking at the tall buildings behind him, I firmly believe that he is Yuan Zhenhai himself."
However, if his eye drama can be practiced well, I think "Fifty Shades of Grey" will be sublimated. I don't care what outsiders think, but even if it's a gimmicky love commercial movie, it's a textbook commercial movie. β
Gu Feihong asked, "Then why don't you put the important eye play behind first?" I'll get it done here quickly, mom will help you check the gates? β
Chu Moyan nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Mom, I can't leave you, just like the West can't leave Jerusalem." Come back soon! β
"You take your time, I'll be relieved that there is no big problem on your side," Gu Feihong said a word to the staff next to him, turned his head and waved: "I'm busy." β
β¦β¦
Four Seasons Hotel, Superior Suite.
Li Jin pushed open the glass door of the wide balcony and said categorically: "There is!" β
Jiang Yang's eyes were full of starlight, and he ran over excitedly.
"You go and ask the waiter for a big bottle of water," Li Jin sat back in his seat and lit a cigarette, as if calling a servant.
Hehe, the buddy who stinks all day long finally begged for himself, don't take the opportunity to put on music, there is no store in this village.
Jiang Yang obediently obeyed the instructions, he trotted to the door, ordered food on the central control screen, and suddenly popped up with dense options.
"Brother Jin, pure water or mineral water? Soda is also available! Jiang Yang didn't know Li Jin's plans, so he reported honestly.
Hehe, when you use me, you call Brother Jin, and when you don't use it, it's a little plum.
Scumbag!
Li Jin roared: "Mineral water." β
Jiang Yang asked again: "Cestbon, Nongfu Spring, Evergrande Ice Spring or Wahaha?" β
Li Jin: "Cestbon is green, choose C'estbon." β
Jiang Yang: "Oh! β
Soon the waiter knocked on the door.
Jiang Yang came to the balcony with two buckets of big c'estbon.
"How so? How so? He surrounded Li Jin and sought answers with fiery eyes.
Li Jin looked at the silhouette of the mountain in the distance and said, "Let me explain it briefly from the principle. Here's what happened: you have to use first aid now, but you can't improve your acting skills in the short term. So use physical therapy. Do you understand? β
"Well, Brother Jin, you go on, I'll listen to you," Jiang Yang nodded.
Li Jin: "Except for the bed scene, other eye problems can be achieved by holding urine, but it hurts the kidneys a little." See if you're willing to dedicate your life to art, oh no, kidneys. β
"Hold your pee?!" Jiang Yang's eyebrows were twisted, and his heart was full of suspicion: "You're not kidding me, are you?" β
The relationship between the two is very good, and they play tricks on each other.
But Jiang Yang felt that at this moment, Li Jin would not be so blind!
Li Jin: "If you don't believe it, try it." Trust me, no one can tell if you're suppressing your urine or your emotions. β
Jiang Yang stared at Li Jin's cheek seriously, peeking at the subtle muscle trembling, wanting to verify whether the other party was joking.
Li Jin's face has always been as calm as water.
"Damn, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, Lao Tzu fights," Jiang Yang ignored it, lifted the green bottle of Da Yi Bao, and poured it one bite after another.
When he picked up the bottle, Li Jin also picked up his mobile phone, crackled, and then said: "I called Long Fan here, and then asked her to help record the video, you can compare it yourself." β
Jiang Yang was still gurgling and watering, and he made an OK gesture with his right hand.
After a while, Long Fan arrived, and Li Jin explained the cause and effect.
But he didn't say anything about the Dafa of holding urine, he just mentioned that he had made up for it.
"I understand," Long Fan turned his phone into video mode, waiting for Jiang Yang's command.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Yang nodded: "Okay!" β
Li Jin picked up the copy paper handed by Long Fan: "Come, let's talk about the scene of the heroine's interview." This is the heroine's line? β
Long Fan nodded.
Jiang Yang stood by the window, his back to the two of them.
Li Jin read without emotion: "Mr. Yuan Zhenhai, on behalf of your father's alma mater, I would like to interview you about the video of the school anniversary. β
Jiang Yang turned around, his brows furrowed slightly, but the moment he saw the heroine, the expression on his rigid face was still the same, and under his pupils, a violent storm was set off.
His eyes are like an experiment of chemical solution layering, separating the surface and the inside, on the surface he is polite, a gentleman, and a successful person, but inside he is depressed madness, and a trace of forbearance and slight pain.
Love at first sight, or is it the trigger for painful memories? Who knows.
Long Fan's eyes widened, looking at Li Jin, not knowing how Jiang Yang's performance had changed drastically.
It's amazing, isn't it, the ordinary man in front of him is really just a top student of the Modu Drama Academy who plays the second male lead in idol dramas to make a living?
Oh my God, why doesn't anyone appreciate him!
Long Fan turned his gaze back to Jiangyang, this time, even she could see the qualitative change in the eye drama!
Jiang Yang's state in the morning is one of the domineering presidents of all living beings, maybe more distinctive, more domineering, more handsome, but also just domineering presidents.
However, at this meeting, he seems to have turned on the progress bar "Progress of the transformation of the Domineering President into the Dark President: 33%".
Long Fan was speechless: Now, Director Chu Moyan can't scold Xiao Jiangjiang anymore!
On the other side, Jiang Yang and Li Jin's interview scenes are still ongoing.
Li Jin closely observed Jiang Yang's facial expressions, and at the same time read the heroine's lines, without emotion: "No, my major is literature." β
Jiang Yang turned his head away, trying his best to avoid eye contact with the heroine: "According to the agreement, I only have ten minutes." You may be seated, Miss Li Xing! β
Li Jin: "This is a graduation column about East China Jiaodan University, and I am interviewing reporter Li Xing. β
In just a few seconds, Jiang Yang, or Yuan Zhenhai, became generous and proactive, he stood and looked down at the heroine, his eyes playful, revealing a trace of excitement: "Yes, this year I will give a graduation speech at the graduation ceremony of my father's alma mater." β
Li Xing: "You're so young, but you have a huge corporate empire. Excuse me, do you rely on-"
"Yuan Zhenhai" stared at her prey, knowing her every move: "What do I rely on to achieve success?" β
"Li Xing": "That's right, that's my problem. β
"Yuan Zhenhai": "Seriously? β
"Li Xing": "Yes. β
"Yuan Zhenhai" turned around and looked at the cityscape outside the huge window: "Business is dealing with people, and I'm very good at it. I know how to encourage them, stimulate them, inspire them. β
"Li Xing" stared at the face of the man in front of him the whole time, and blurted out: "Maybe you are just lucky." β
"Yuan Zhenhai" finally showed a smile: "Maybe." I've long since discovered that the harder I work, the luckier I get. Luck and hard work are two sides of the same coin, not opposites. The key to my success is to know people and manage them. β
Somehow, "Li Xing" asked a stupid question again: "Are you a control freak?" β
"Yuan Zhenhai" took the opportunity to say, "Yes. Everything is under my control, Miss Li Xing. β
"Li Xing" realized that it was not her own advantage to play on the spot, so she looked down at her notes: "Your company is involved in the communications industry, but it is intensively investing in agriculture and forestry projects, including projects in Africa. Are you passionate about this type of investment? It is to feed most of the poor people in the world. β
"Yuan Zhenhai": "It's all small business. β
"Yuan Zhenhai" circled around the desk and asked meaningfully, "Miss Li Xing, do you have any real questions to ask?" β
"Yes, I'm sorry," "Li Xing" was stared at by his strong gaze, his heart tightened, and he immediately read out a question from the script: "Are you gay?" β
"Li Xing": "Oh, I'm sorry. This is a problem that a colleague helped sort out. β
"Yuan Zhenhai" was not offended, and replied gently: "No, Miss Li Xing, I am not gay. Why do you ask? β
Li Xing: "Because whenever and wherever you appear on high social media, you don't feel comfortable taking pictures with any woman. Moreover, you have never had a rumored girlfriend and are also an unmarried golden bachelor. β
"Yuan Zhenhai" chuckled: "Miss Li Xing, why don't we come to get to know you?" You said you are a literature major, who are you influenced by, Zhang Ailing, Cao Xueqin or Zhang Hatshui? β
"Li Xing": "Feng Zikai! β
After saying this, Li Jin's whole person was completely relaxed, and he stretched out his arms and made a lazy waist.
βbingoοΌβ Long Fan snapped his fingers: "Great." Jiang Yang, how are you-"
Before the words fell, Jiang Yang had disappeared from sight.
"Why did he go?" Long Fan's eyes were full of confusion.
Li Jin smiled: "Release the water." β
"Oh, that's it," Long Fan thought as he stared at the empty large Cestbon bottle on the ground.
She was chasing an urban web novel recently, and the male protagonist got the system against the sky, and he added money when he breathed, and he ββ, the bank account +1, +1, +1, and sucked - the bank account number +1, +1 again.
Could it be that Jiang Yang is drinking water and his acting skills are +1?
Well, it's not impossible!
Li Jin said at this time: "Miss Long, I pulled a group, and you sent the video just now and the NG video recorded in the morning to the group." β
"Okay," Long Fan woke up from the plot of the novel in his brain, picked up his mobile phone and started to operate.
Li Jin turned on his mobile phone and ordered: "You use your mobile phone to play the video just now, let's compare it next to each other." β
The two placed their phones up and down, comparing frame by frame, and Jiang Yang's performance was a visible improvement to the naked eye.
Between Long Fan's eyebrows was a miracle and a question: "Thisβwhat is going on?" Jiang Yang was like a high-spirited start-up president this morning, sunny and handsome. But what I filmed just now really made people ignore his appearance, and he has the flavor of the president of the dark and domineering department with that kind of particularity. His eyes are emotional, and they are negative. It's like he's trying to endure something. β
A matter of soaking in urine, Li Jin said in his heart.
The two watched for a while, Jiang Yang rushed out of the bathroom, the dove occupied the magpie's nest, drove Li Jin away, sat in his seat by himself, and watched repeatedly.
Li Jin could only stand side by side with Long Fan behind him: "Look, your brother Jin didn't lie to you, right?" Now that your emotions are there, but they are too much to let out, you have to try to control them. β
Jiang Yang muttered: "To put it lightly, how can I control this." β
Li Jin leaned over and said mischievously: "Buy some adult diapers, just in case." β
Jiang Yang blew his beard and glared, faintly feeling that his good buddy was carrying private goods and announcing personal vendettas, but he had no intention of fighting back.
