Chapter 340: Seppuku and the Finale Banquet
"Teacher?"
Takuya Kimura was stunned for a moment, and then reacted:
"You mean sir, don't you? I found that the status of the actors of the Celestial Empire is very high, and in Neon, no one calls the actors Mr. ”
He remembered that when he made a cameo today, even the director and some people in the crew who were obviously older than him were "Kimura-sensei", and "Kudo-sensei" called them like this, which made them all a little flattered.
"Mr." is an honorific title in neon, pronounced similar to the Chinese "Mr.", which translates to "teacher".
It is generally used to refer to high-status professions such as doctors, lawyers, and teachers.
The actors are not among them.
"Off topic, talk about things."
Qin Muchu had no intention of explaining to him what he meant by "teacher", nor did he want to discuss the gap between the status of actors in the two countries.
"OK, in addition to "Thirty-Three Lovelorns", didn't you also invite us to make a cameo appearance in "Love Letter"? When I was recording a show with a few juniors, I accidentally said it......"
Hearing this, the enthusiasm in Qin Muchu's heart went halfway.
It doesn't seem to be the same as I thought.
Indifferent to wave your hand:
"Just say it, just say it, and you should publicize it in advance."
"Love Letter" is planned to be released throughout Asia, as for Europe and the United States, see if he can sell the disc, or sell it as a package.
Takuya Kimura became more and more embarrassed:
"No, after the end of the episode, these young people didn't talk about martial arts, invited me to dinner, took turns pouring me wine, and then I ......"
"You're all asleep?"
Qin Muchu's interest came up all of a sudden.
He looked at Takuya Kimura and nodded.
This is in line with your neon man's personality.
"No, I didn't sleep!"
Takuya Kimura was in a hurry and hurriedly denied it.
"And which one did you sleep with?"
"Slept...... No, I didn't sleep, Shizuka went drinking with me! ”
"This doesn't mean anything, and it's not like this hasn't been filmed in your movies."
“……”
Takuya Kimura understood what kind of movie Qin Muchu was referring to, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say to prove his innocence.
However, Qin Muchu also saw that what Takuya Kimura wanted to say was not drunk and disorderly, and said:
"No kidding, let's talk about something."
Takuya Kimura then spoke:
"After these juniors poured me too much, they made a request, and they also wanted to make a cameo appearance in "Love Letter", of course I refused verbally, but they begged bitterly, Shizuka was soft-hearted, couldn't stand it, and helped them speak, and I was not very sober, so I agreed......"
"After Kimura drank too much, he bragged to his juniors about how good his relationship with Qin Sang was, not only promised that when he filmed "Love Letter", they could come to visit the class, but also asked them if they wanted to make a cameo appearance in a movie, if he thought about it, he could do it with a phone call, and I couldn't stop it."
On the other side, Yang Mi and Liu Xiqian heard a completely different story from the "Kimura Takuya Version" at Shizuka Kudo.
Of course, Shizuka Kudo didn't say these words to embarrass her husband's face, this is to save the country, and I hope the two can help.
After all, her husband's cow has been blown out, and neon is such a big place, and the news has long spread throughout the neon entertainment circle.
Those actresses who poured alcohol were even more envied, jealous and hated by insiders, and they could enter the crews of international directors by pouring wine.
Even if it's just a cameo.
But it can also be regarded as in line with international standards.
Someone in the neon circle has already begun to plan to form a group of shrub village Takuya's wine, but unfortunately Kimura is good at learning, and it is impossible to fall down twice in one place.
But this also makes the whole circle watch, if Takuya Kimura breaks his promise in the end, it may not be enough to lose all the face earned by starring in "Inception" this time.
When the time comes, Takuya Kimura is likely to choose......
"Seppuku! If you don't promise me, I'll show you seppuku tonight!" ”
Takuya Kimura's eyes were a little moist.
He is the most bitter in his heart.
At that time, young actresses touted him in various ways, what is the most handsome in Asia, the coexistence of strength and appearance, and has always been an idol.
Which uncle can stand this, he only feels like a legacy of independence.
After he woke up, he also regretted it, and thought about making up for it, so he called a few actresses, saying that the cameo was too wronged, and he wouldn't directly help them ask for a role next time.
not only achieved the goal of repentance, but also saved his face.
Takuya Kimura thinks this statement is perfect.
But the actresses didn't eat this cake at all, and they all said that it was enough to make a small cameo.
And one of them seems to have guessed his careful thoughts, and the anti-general will be an army:
"If the seniors drank too much last night and bragged, oh no, it's not bragging, it's casual, then I don't have such a thing."
What else can Takuya Kimura do, he can only reassure the other party that he will definitely do it.
What's more, on the afternoon of the call, this matter spread throughout the neon entertainment industry at a strange speed.
Although the neon entertainment industry is not big, this speed is also too outrageous.
Unless someone deliberately advertises it......
This is a means to deal with idols, and it also shows that the actress's praise of him is false......
This is the saddest part of him, and his self-esteem as a man is deeply hurt.
"You said earlier that I could still arrange it, and now that my drama is almost finished, how can I make a cameo? Why don't you still seppuku? I've only seen this on TV. ”
Qin Muchu was interested.
"Yes, yes, I see that there are students in the script? You can arrange a few of them, and you can do it without showing your face. ”
Takuya Kimura immediately said, the desire to survive is very strong.
He has only seen seppuku on TV, and it hurts to watch it.
"I said why did you have to ask me for a script before?"
Qin Muchu understood.
He thought it was a neon actor who was dedicated, and he had to understand the script for cameos.
It turned out that he was afraid of social death.
But to Takuya Kimura with such a reminder, he really remembered a few suitable roles.
The main thing was that I didn't expect the neon actress to be so low, and some roles that were too tricky were automatically ignored.
So he said:
"Then the students, they are all showing their faces, and some have a line or two."
Takuya Kimura was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stood on tiptoe and hugged Qin Muchu's shoulder and patted him non-stop, saying that his daughter was too young, otherwise he would definitely introduce it to him......
……
The finale banquet of "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love" begins.
Qin Muchu sat at the same table with the director and the leading actors, and Liu Xiqian and Kimura also sat at this table because of their high coffee position and Qin Muchu's friends.
"Director Qin, thank you, without you, my movie would not have been filmed so smoothly."
Teng Huahan stood up with a wine glass, toasted sincerely, and lowered his posture, not afraid of losing face in front of a group of actors.
Some time ago, the fact that a number of celebrities did not participate in the Golden Horse Awards was still in sight.
At first, it was the Beijing area, and then gradually expanded to the Hong Kong area, Shanghai area, northwest area, and northeast area......
Although these circles are not as decisive as the vast majority of people in the Beijing circle and will never participate in the Golden Horse Awards, they basically indicate that they will not participate in the next session.
But this is enough, being slapped in the face like this, the Golden Horse Awards are basically abolished, and both credibility and prestige have been directly reduced from the "three gold firsts" to the end or even to the second rate.
And the people who caused all this were the people in front of them.
is also in the Beijing circle, Teng Huahan feels that if he is wronged at the Golden Horse Awards, it will be okay if there are a few bigwigs in the Beijing circle who can denounce him.
To do this, he couldn't even think of it.
The status gap is so big, so I don't care about what face is not faced.
What's more, Qin Muchu did give the movie a lot of help.
Let's just say that those big names in "Broken Love" who came to make cameos, which one didn't come for Qin Muchu's face.
When the time comes, it will be released to help with publicity, and if the movie becomes popular, he will naturally benefit as a director.
"Director Teng is polite."
Qin Muchu also stood up and touched a cup with Teng Huahan.
When people lower their posture, there is no need for him to be arrogant.
Respect is mutual.
What's more, subjectively speaking, he was worried about this movie in order to praise his girlfriend Yang Mi, and Teng Huahan just followed suit.
"Director Qin, I also respect you, thank you for your willingness to support Director Teng when he chose me to play Wang Xiaobei."
Not long after Teng Huahan sat down, Wen Zhang stood up again.
As for the reason for the toast......
As long as you want to respect, no matter how far-fetched the reason is, you can do it.
"I did it, whatever you want."
After saying a word, without waiting for Qin Muchu to react, he drank all the small glasses of wine as soon as he looked up.
Qin Muchu's senses for Wen Zhang were complex.
Because I knew about "see you on Monday", I wanted to replace him at the beginning.
But in the end, I was reluctant to use his acting skills, so I still used him.
In Qin Muchu's mind, Wen Zhang's acting skills can be among the top three in his age group or even the first, and the most rare thing is that he can act in dramas and comedies.
Of course, this is what he said about the future......
After He Wenzhang finished drinking, he went to other actors.
Guo Jingfei who plays her ex-boyfriend, Zhang Jiayi who plays the big old Wang, and Wang Yaoqing who plays the rich man......
Guo Jingfei is not bad, he is also a comedy, and his acting skills are not weak in the younger generation.
However, he is 79 years old, five years older than Wen Zhang in 84, to be precise, he is not a generation of actors.
At present, he is unknown, and he makes a living by acting in dramas, and according to normal development, he will have to wait for several years to become popular.
For this kind of actor who has a good life and no black history, Qin Muchu has no worries.
If there is a suitable role, I don't mind pulling him and letting him become famous early.
A finale lasted for hours before it ended.
Knowing that Qin Muchu would go back to filming tomorrow, Takuya Kimura said goodbye first and went to contact the female stars of Neon and asked them to come to the Celestial Empire as soon as possible.
And Qin Muchu is discussing with Teng Huahan about the later stage of the movie, and from time to time a few actors will come over to say goodbye and leave.
"The later stage of "Broken Love" is simple, and it will be about the same in a month at most, that is, it will be completed around March...... If you can catch up with Cannes, why don't you take a trip? Qin Muchu proposed.
But Teng Huahan shook his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile:
"Director Qin, don't be joking, I'm not you, how dare you think of such a good thing as Cannes, you can't get into the siege if you report it."
Don't look at the "three big European" Qin Muchu to win the award once at a time, but for most domestic filmmakers, being shortlisted is a luxury.
"Try it, if you are shortlisted, or win an award, it will be easier to promote the movie."
Hearing Qin Muchu say this, Teng Huahan was really a little hesitant.
After a long time, he spoke:
"Then why don't you report to the Modu International Film Festival? It is also an A-category film festival, and the shortlist may be a little bigger. ”
“……”
To be honest, Qin Muchu felt that Teng Huahan was quite unambitious.
Although the Modu International Film Festival is also a Class A film festival, its influence is at the bottom of the A category, not to mention the three major European ones, and even the neon Tokyo International Film Festival next door has more gold than it.
It's not that Qin Muchu admires foreign flattery, but that's the case.
Even in China, its influence is not as great as that of the "three golds".
But after all, this is someone else's movie, and the decision is in the hands of others, so he can't say much, so he can only say it against his will:
"It's good, the Magic City Film Festival is also good."
If it was placed in normal times, Teng Huahan should have been able to see that Qin Muchu was not interested and didn't want to speak.
But his first movie was completed, he was happy, and he didn't refuse to toast him, and he was really drunk at this time.
Hearing Qin Muchu's words, he thought he really thought so, and said happily with a red face:
"The Magic City Film Festival is at the beginning of June, just after participating in the film festival, and in the domestic film protection month, there is no need to ...... with Hollywood blockbusters"
Domestic Film Protection Month refers to the period from June 10 to July 10 every year when the introduction of overseas blockbusters is not encouraged, and only domestic films are screened.
Hearing Teng Huahan say this, Qin Muchu was even more speechless in his heart.
How can a director make a good movie if he doesn't have confidence in his film so much?
But then Teng Huahan's words made him understand a little.
"Avatar is too scary, 900 million, ......"
Yes, "Avatar", which was released in early 2010, broke the box office record in the mainland with an unrivaled sweep.
is 300 million more than Qin Muchu's "Inception", and this record is still being refreshed, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks one billion.
At its peak, it reached the point where it was hard to find a ticket, and the queue to buy tickets every day lined up from inside the theater to outside.
After more than 20 days of release, the results are still excellent, and it is inevitable to delay the painting.
This kind of achievement shocked the attention of the Celestial Empire film circle, and the reports about "Avatar" were overwhelming, and the box office every day attracted great attention.
Many movies that were originally scheduled to be released in February have been withdrawn, for fear of being crushed by "Avatar".
At present, the domestic film that can be won in February is "Bullet", and even Brother Fang Long's "Big Soldier", which was originally scheduled to be released on February 4, has been moved to March.
Jiang Wen actually discussed with Qin Muchu about the file adjustment, but the two finally agreed that they couldn't afford to lose this person.
Besides, it was already scheduled to be released in February because of the evasion of "Avatar", avoiding the first month when the movie had the strongest momentum, and the popularity of the next month will definitely decline, and "Bullet" may not be impossible to touch.
If it's a big deal, you lose money.
The cost of "Bullet" is more than 100 million in total, and the loss will be tens of millions at most, and Qin Muchu can afford it.
But this breath can't be vented, if you really hide because you are afraid of "Avatar", then ......
In more metaphysical terms, there is a "demon", even if the box office of the movie is good later, but I will always think about this experience and lose confidence in my movie.
Losing a fight and admitting defeat without a fight are two different things.
The former has the possibility of catching up and overtaking, and the latter is basically over.
For the arrogant Jiang Wen, it is estimated that he will be uncomfortable for a lifetime.
"Director Qin, Director Teng, I'm sorry, Wenzhang has caused you trouble."
A woman's voice woke up Qin Muchu in thought.
When I looked up, it was a young woman with short hair, supporting Wen Zhang, who was already unconscious.
"It's okay, Yili, you take Wenzhang back first, he drank too much tonight."
Teng Huahan was obviously quite familiar with the woman, waved his hand, and beckoned his assistant again:
"Xiao Wang, go and help Yili deliver Wenzhang to the car."
"No, no, I can do it myself."
Ma Yili shook his hand and refused.
Not to mention, she is really holding on to it.
Although Wen Zhang is not tall, he is also a man, drunk and the whole person is on a woman, and ordinary women may not be able to bear it.
"What's polite, you, you're too strong."
Teng Huahan waved his hand and asked the assistant to come over.
Thinking of something, he introduced to Qin Muchu again:
"I almost forgot, Director Qin, this is Wen Zhang's wife Ma Yili, who is also an actor."
"Director Qin, hello."
Ma Yili also officially said hello and stretched out his hand to shake hands.
Qin Muchu shook her lightly and said with a smile:
"I know, I have watched many TV series of Mr. Ma."
This is not nonsense.
Ma Yili debuted very early and has acted in many popular TV series, such as Ziwei in "Huanzhu Gege Part III", as well as "Qiao's Courtyard", "Struggle" and so on.
This is much more famous than Wen Zhang.
"You're so polite, just call me by name."
Ma Yili smiled and wanted to say something, but Wen Zhang may have been drunk, and he was uncomfortable moving around.
This made Ma Yili, who was already struggling to support, almost not stand, but it was Teng Huahan's assistant who held on in time to prevent Ma Yili from falling.
In this way, it is not suitable to speak anymore, so Ma Yili had to apologize and leave with Wen Zhang first.
"Hey, Xiaodi, you haven't left yet?"
Qin Muchu heard Ma Yili's voice again, she met a girl at the door of the banquet hall, who was talking.
"Just as I was about to leave, Brother Wen Zhang drank too much."
"Who's to say it's not......"
……
It was more than ten o'clock in the evening, in front of the villa.
"Mimi, don't you really sleep with me? My cat does backflips. ”
Liu Xiqian got out of the car and held Yang Mi's hand.
Before Yang Mi could speak, Qin Muchu escorted Liu Xiqian away with a grappling action:
"Get out, what serious cat can do a backflip."
"My cat really ......"
Liu Xiqian also wanted to defend herself, but was escorted all the way to her door by Qin Muchu, and rang the doorbell to send her to Liu Xiaoli, who was already waiting.
Of course, it can't be a grappling position anymore.
As soon as they met, Qin Muchu looked very ashamed:
"Aunt Liu, Sissi lets herself go in the crew, and if she doesn't exercise every day, I can't control it."
After confirming that Liu Xiaoli's eyes became sharp, he immediately said goodbye and left.
Liu Xiqian didn't expect Qin Muchu to give herself such a hand and wanted to scold people, but the "murderer" had already run away.
And there is already a familiar hand on the ear.
"Mom~"
"Go home and weigh it!"
……
Qin Muchu, who had pit Liu Xiqian, only felt refreshed, and when she returned to her villa, Yang Mi had already entered the house.
After washing, the two leaned on the head of the bed and told about what happened during this period of time.
The main thing is that Yang Mi is talking and Qin Muchu is listening.
"Last time I went to visit Mr. Cui, I sent some nutritional products and some tea to Mr. Huo, they didn't accept it at first, I said you would come back if I didn't accept it, and Mr. Cui accepted it. Teacher Cui is really good to you. ”
Yang Mi's tone was a little envious.
She has a good relationship with her homeroom teacher, but she is still in the scope of ordinary teachers and students, and she is far from being like this.
"Teacher Cui is very good to her students, she is such a person."
Qin Muchu said softly.
Yang Mi also nodded, the name of "Mother Cui" is very loud in Yanying, and the calf protector is famous.
"Do you know the girl who talked to Ma Yili when she left at night?" Qin Muchu suddenly asked.
And he added:
"You seem to call her Xiaodi?"
"Xiao Di? Okay, I didn't expect you to have thoughts about my assistant. ”
Yang Mi turned over and straddled Qin Muchu and grabbed his face with both hands.
Qin Muchu gave his girlfriend a roll of the eyes.
"Hehe~ I just like your speechless look."
Yang Mi smiled and pinched her boyfriend's face.
At the end of the finale banquet in the evening, she was chatting with a few of her classmates, not paying attention to who Ma Yili was talking to.
However, when Qin Muchu talked about "Xiaodi", she also guessed who it was:
"It should be Yao Di, she was recommended by Wen Zhang, and she made a cameo appearance as a couple with Straw Lun, and Wen Zhang is also the male and female protagonists of Director Teng's last TV series. What's wrong? ”
Hearing that it was indeed the heroine of "See you on Monday", Qin Muchu didn't say anything more, and shook his head:
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen this person, ask."
Yang Mi didn't doubt him, thought about it and said:
"By the way, Sister Chen Hong has come to the crew to visit the class."
"Chen Hong?"
"It's Director Kaige's wife."
Qin Muchu knew who it was, but he was even more puzzled:
"She's visiting the class? Are you all familiar with each other? ”
Yang Mi shook her head:
"I'm not familiar, she said that she happened to be passing by here, and by the way, she came to see it, and brought her son, a little fat man.
But I feel that she has another purpose, and when she left, she also made an appointment to have a chance to get together, saying that Director Chen has always wanted to have a meal with you and chat. ”
Chen Kaige wants to eat and chat with me?
Qin Muchu was even more strange.
This Kaige director is a representative of arrogance, and he is different from Jiang Wen.
The old baby's high heart is more self-confidence, a kind of arrogance, and he is quite modest.
And Chen Kaige's arrogance is more similar to a sense of superiority, very dignified, and he has met him a few times before.
Now his wife actually said that he has always wanted to eat and chat with me?
Is this a kind word or is it true?
If it's true, is Director Kaige a ...... Sullen or dead tsundere?
He suddenly thought of his previous life, and seemed to have seen a picture on the Internet that shocked him.
"What do you think?"
Yang Mi found that her boyfriend's expression seemed to be disgusted by something.
"No, I have to brainwash."
Qin Muchu said something that sounded very inexplicable to Yang Mi, and before Yang Mi could ask, suddenly her loose blouse was lifted.
"Oops, don't rub it, it's itching, dead pervert!"
Yang Mi hit Qin Muchu twice.
But Qin Muchu didn't listen at all.
Yang Mi gritted her teeth, pulled off the clothes she lifted again, put them on her boyfriend's head, and then hugged them firmly, with words in her mouth:
"Let you rub, cover you!"
