Chapter 138: Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself
Wei Weijiang first dialed the phone of an actor named Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan can be regarded as a very powerful actor in Huaguo.
The mass base is also relatively high.
And he is an amphibious in film and television.
has achieved good results in both the film and television circles.
The one who picked up the phone was a female agent from Wang Yuan.
When he heard Wei Weijiang say what he meant, the other party asked bluntly:
"How much investment does your family have in this play? Our family's Wang is far less than 50 million pure production cost of the drama, and he will never act, and you will be on first-line satellite TV, right? We only connect to the dramas of the stars of first-line satellite TV, and we never shoot online dramas, you know? ”
The other party's agent's words suddenly made Wei Weijiang a little silent.
After all, "The Silent Truth" is a collaboration with Penguin Video.
This is indeed an online drama, but Wei Weijiang still wants to fight for it again:
"Sister, our drama is indeed an online drama, but our drama is the top production investment of Penguin Video this year, which is very high, definitely more than 50 million, and our script is written by Song Ci! You know Song Ci, it's the Song Ci that just exploded in "Black and White"! ”
The other side said nonchalantly: "I'm really embarrassed, our family Wang Yuan has been mixed up to this extent now, and sometimes there are some things that can't be acted casually...... You know what. ”
Wei Weijiang smiled awkwardly but politely.
In the entertainment industry, many actors do have this taboo.
It's just that you can't lower your price to act in some plays that don't match your coffee position.
It's not just the artist's team itself that doesn't agree.
Even Party A, which signed some corresponding business cooperation by artists, is actually unable to agree.
After all, for example, people will give you an endorsement for 50 million.
So you go to the pig farm and sing.
This is completely pulling down the level of other people's advertisers.
This is categorically impermissible.
So Wei Weijiang dialed the second actor's phone again.
This actor is called Tang Jilan.
A few years ago, he won the Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival.
The word-of-mouth strength in the circle is not bad, but after Wei Weijiang called, he just asked about the other party's schedule, and he knew that the cooperation could not be achieved.
Because the other party's filming arrangements for the next two years are full.
The remaining two actors, Wei Weijiang, are not very familiar.
So it was mainly handed over to Penguin Video to communicate.
Here, the team of "The Silent Truth" is slowly building.
On the other side, "Black and White" and "Rejuvenation" are still being screened.
So far, the box office of "Black and White" has exceeded 2.5 billion.
And the box office growth rate of "Rejuvenation" has slowed down a lot.
It's been stuck at more than 11 billion three days.
But this is basically the box office limit of the drama "Rejuvenation".
The competition for the box office champion in the same schedule has basically come to an end.
Because "Black and White" overtook the box office of "Tomorrow" on the 13th day of its official release.
At present, the box office of "Tomorrow" is in the early 2.4 billion, and there is basically no increase.
But judging from the current box office growth rate, it is impossible for both movies to break through the 3 billion box office.
This makes the entire industry in the industry a little disappointed with the plate of this year's summer file.
Weibo blogger [Movie Box Office] posted directly:
"It's actually a bit regrettable that there is no particularly high-grossing movie in this summer's file, but the quality of several films in this year's summer file is still remarkable.
"Especially one produced by Song Ci Studio...... It can be said that it is a low-cost "Rejuvenation", which leverages great profits at a very low cost, and I think after "Rejuvenation", there should be a lot of capital to find Song Ci Studio to co-produce a movie! ”
This review has been endorsed by many people.
"Song Ci, this kid, should be completely mixed up now, right? After making a lot of money through "Rejuvenation", he can be his own capital in the future! ”
"Does anyone in the industry come out to talk about the current box office performance of 1.1 billion in "Rejuvenation", how much can Song Ci earn from his work!?"
"In fact, making money is secondary, and the praise for his acting skills is the best, right? After passing the biggest villain role in "Black and White", I believe that there should be a lot of scripts for him to film! ”
And so it is.
Two weeks after the official release of "Black and White", Mimi received the first script handed over.
The book was sent by a very powerful company in the industry.。
It is indeed a suspense drama.
But the other party's schedule requirements are relatively tight, and they are completely inconsistent with Song Ci.
So Mimi didn't tell Song Ci about it directly, so she rejected this book.
Today, Song Ci specially took a plane to Shangjing to accept an exclusive interview with the movie channel.
Of course, Song Ci, the movie channel known as the Six Princesses in the rivers and lakes, did not dare to slack off.
He was wearing a suit and sitting in front of the camera.
The person in charge of interviewing Song Ci was a young sister who looked to be in her early 20s.
However, the other party's speech and demeanor seem to be extremely proficient in his business.
After people become popular, all walks of life will cast some attention to them, whether it is good or bad, Song Ci basically accepts it all.
After all, after those 10 years, Song Ci's heart has long been calm, and all the humiliation he faced can be forgotten.
"Hello Mr. Song Ci, I especially like your role in "Black and White"! The acting is really amazing! The other party first praised Song Ci, and Song Ci politely greeted with a smile.
During this time, he has praised his voice for his great acting skills, and he has heard too much.
At the beginning, there was indeed some smugness in my heart.
But now, I'm basically immune.
Even some deep fears.
I'm afraid that I will be killed by such a voice.
So he hinted in his heart that he had to be sober.
In this kind of interview, the other party will communicate the content of the interview with their team in advance.
So Song Ci already roughly knows what kind of content the other party will ask today.
"Recently, because of "Black and White" and "Rejuvenation", Mr. Song Ci has been mentioned a lot in the circle. And as we all know, you've only suddenly started to have an exponential explosion in the last year...... So we would like to ask you what kind of state of mind you are in such a situation? ”
Song Ci replied without hesitation: "I wrote an article by Fan Zhongyan called "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in "Two Song Fengyun" before, hmm...... I think there are 8 words in this article that can completely describe my mood. ”
"Which 8 words?"
"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself."
The female reporter nodded earnestly, with a little starlight in her eyes.
Obviously, Song Ci's words and deeds with a little literary temperament made her little heart beat up a little bit.
"Rejuvenate is a script you wrote, and it was a huge success. In a variety show you participated in some time ago, you also wrote a well-received script. "The Beginning", a film and television drama known as a variety TV series, has also achieved great success...... So will you aspire to be a professional screenwriter in the future? ”
Song Ci pondered for a moment before replying:
"If there is a good story, I will definitely write it without hesitation."
"Haha, so what are your expectations and prospects for your future acting career? Or do you want to do more in the film industry, or do you want to achieve something better in the TV series? ”
Song Ci raised his right hand and grabbed it fiercely in the air, his eyes confident and powerful: "I want it all." ”
The female reporter laughed with a snort, and then stuck out her tongue for her gaffe, revealing an embarrassed expression.
This interview on the movie channel was broadcast directly in the news reported by the movie in the evening.
This also caused a cheer from fans who like Song Ci.
Although this is not a big deal, at least Song Ci has gradually entered the attention of the mainstream media with this summer file.
It has begun to receive more and more attention from people and capital.
Fans are a strange group of creatures.
On the one hand, they hope that the person they like is particularly good and can show their talent in all walks of life.
On the other hand, I also hope that the other party can do it according to their own ideas.
completely treats the person he fans as a creature in his fantasy to construct and shape his life.
So there are several types of fans in the fandom.
For example, career fans.
This kind of fan just doesn't care about whether the main person talks about it or not, whether he falls in love or not, whether he gets married or not.
I only hope that the main owner can flourish in his career and achieve good results.
There is also a type of mom powder.
This kind of fan especially appears in the fan group of idol idols who debuted in the talent show variety show of the cultivation department.
However, at present, the fans of Song Ci are still mostly talented fans.
Basically, they are all fans of Song Ci's creative talent.
The other part is Song Ci's face powder.
In the evening, Song Ci did not leave Shangjing City by plane, but made an appointment with his college roommate Han Yao for a meal.
Han Yao specially brought his girlfriend over to have dinner with Song Ci today.
My girlfriend is a model, more than seven meters tall, very beautiful, and her figure is also very good.
She excitedly shook hands with Song Ci:
"When we were in love, Hanyao kept telling me that he and you were college roommates. I didn't believe it at first, until he showed me a photo of the two of you, and today I finally saw me.
"I like you very much, I have looped the single "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" many times, you must sign me today!"
Han Yao's girlfriend Xiao Wang successfully chased stars, and the whole person looked very excited.
Han Yao gently grabbed her shoulders and said, "You calm down, don't act like you haven't seen the world." ”
Han Yao has been in the film and television industry in the past few years.
Now he is basically haunted in major variety shows with the image of a funny artist.
So the audience laughed when they saw him.
And if you really want to talk about the degree of well-known among the audience.
Song Ci may not be able to beat Han Yao.
It's not that Han Yao's masterpiece is so hard.
It's that this kid has participated in too many variety shows.
There are many artists on the rivers and lakes who have a saying.
If you can meet Han Yao when you shoot a variety show.
That means your kid is really hot.
Song Ci took a sip of cold white water, looked at Han Yao and said enviously: "You kid is a big winner in life now." ”
Han Yao waved his hand, revealing a rather Versailles expression:
"I'm quite enjoying my life now, and I'm okay to go on some brainless variety shows, and tell some jokes to make everyone laugh. After it's over, it's quite enjoyable to go home and feel free. ”
Xiao Wang, his girlfriend on the side, held his cheek with one hand and looked at Han Yao with starry eyes.
What she likes the most is the funny temperament of this kid.
Song Cile said happily: "That's what you said...... But I always feel that it's a pity that you don't have such a handsome face on the big screen, if you have a chance in the future, I'll look for you to film. ”
Speaking of this, Han Yao's expression looked a lot lonely.
He raised his glass and toasted it, ate two more bites of food, and then continued:
"Last week, we went to see "Black and White" and "Rejuvenation" together, and I really envy you for being able to work with a director as big as Director Lu Song! How was it, how was Director Lu's temper when you were filming live? Didn't scold you, did you? ”
Song Ci said: "It is said that great directors have some particularly strange tempers, but I really didn't find it in Director Lu." Basically, there was no time when he lost his temper. Even if there are some situations that have been NG, he is still explaining in an orderly manner, and I feel that he can achieve his current status in the rivers and lakes, and he has really come step by step. ”
The two chatted for a while, and Han Yao suddenly showed a shyness and said:
"I met Meng Ting when I went to record a variety show last month!"
Meng Ting is the ex-girlfriend of Gao Wang, a college roommate.
When I was studying, I climbed directly into a professor's bed for an opportunity to act.
This woman has always been the one who has been ridiculed in the topic of several roommates.
Song Ci said lightly: "Don't say it, Ren Meng Ting is mixing quite well now." ”
Han Yao suddenly touched his little belly and said with emotion:
"So, this is really an era of laughing at poverty and not prostitution.
"Some of my old fans have also been saying why I have been mixing variety shows and being a funny artist, but in fact, I really want to say that TMD Lao Tzu is just to make money!
"If you can, who wouldn't want to make that kind of literary film that is full of style? But no one at TMD asked me to shoot at all! ”
The little girlfriend on the side hurriedly patted Han Yao's chest, and then asked him with curiosity on her face what was going on with Meng Ting.
So Han Yao began to popularize the gossip in this circle to his little girlfriend.
Let this little girlfriend be stunned when she heard it.
In fact, Gao Wang and Meng heard that this matter was quite big back then.
Because after Gao Wang learned about this incident, he directly found the school to make a fuss, and in the end, the school fired the old professor.
……
……
At the beginning of August, the crew of "Jiangshan" started shooting in a film and television base in Youzhou in a low-key manner.
Song Ci played the role of a general, and the overall role was not too much.
But he has a very big influence on the male protagonist of this play on top of the emotional turn.
So it can be regarded as an important supporting role.
And the male protagonist of this play is Zhang Zilu, one of the four top performers in Huaguo.
As one of the top four streamers, his popularity is not covered.
Although the crew's start-up ceremony was already very low-key, not a single media on the scene was invited.
But in the distance, you can still see a large number of Zhang Zilu's fans crowded there.
Song Ci: This is the first time he has met Zhang Zilu. The other party's height is about the same as his own, he looks tall and thin, and his hair has been cut into inches, which is to prepare for the filming of this costume drama.
Song Ci greeted the other party in a friendly manner: "Xiaolu, I especially like your song "Brilliant", I feel that it sounds very imposing!" ”
and people I don't know.,A masterpiece of others.,Although it seems a little distracted.,But at least it's a lot of thought.。
Zhang Zilu didn't expect Song Ci to really listen to his song, showed a surprised expression, and then said:
"Have you really heard my songs? I went to see "Black and White" with my friends last week, oh my God, your acting skills just give me goosebumps, and I hope that this collaboration will create new sparks! ”
The drama "Jiangshan" was invested by Star Entertainment.
Of course, Song Ci is very familiar with the company Starry Sky.
It is Shen Xi's company, and Star Entertainment is one of the subsidiaries of Star Group.
The investment in the whole "Jiangshan" is very high.
The focus is on restoring the image of a young general thousands of years ago.
So there will be a lot of live-action shooting.
The war scenes are also live-action shots where thousands of people will be dispatched.
This is a very high requirement for Sun Dachuan's director scheduling.
So before filming started at this moment, Sun Dachuan had already rubbed his temples, looked at the actors in front of him and said to Song Ci with emotion:
"In another month, when we were filming war scenes...... At that time, the crew will have a maximum of 5,000 people a day, and at that time, they will be able to eat millions a day just for dinner! ”
This kind of thing is a big headache for Song Ci just thinking about it.
But he felt that this was a very important learning opportunity for him.
In fact, there are many, many stories in his mind that he wants to film.
In the future, if possible, he wants to film himself.
So if you can stay with Sun Dachuan in such a big crew, it can even be said that it is already like a small factory, stay for a while and learn more.
Song Ci believes that he can gain a lot of experience.
So he especially cherishes his work in the crew of "Jiangshan" this time.
As for the issue of Zhang Zilu's top-notch acting skills in this drama itself, he doesn't care at all.
The crew of the Chinese entertainment industry usually worships a Taoist named Taimu during the opening ceremony.
He was the god who blessed the actors in the history of China.
Song Ci took three sticks of incense, seriously incense Tai Mu Daojun, and recited a few words reverently in his heart.
In the end, Sun Dachuan cut the ribbon in front of the camera.
The crew of "Jiangshan" can be regarded as officially starting.
First of all, there is a week-long reading of the script.
However, before that, the main actors such as Song Ci and Zhang Zilu need to take makeup photos first.
So Song Ci went to put on the armor that weighed 100 pounds again.
This Xuanjia was forged by Sun Dachuan specially for a master.
But because it is too heavy, when it is really time to film, it is absolutely impossible for Song Ci to wear this armor.
Otherwise, you may not even be able to do the action at that time.
The prop master of the crew actually made a 1:1 replica according to this Xuanjia.
The replica is much lighter than this genuine product, only more than 20 pounds.
On the second day, the official Weibo of "Jiangshan" sent everyone's makeup photos.
At the same time, it can be regarded as an official announcement of the cast of the movie "Jiangshan".
At this time, Song Ci's fans knew that this kid had actually joined the group again.
and is still filming with Zhang Zilu, one of the top four streamers, which has aroused a burst of cheers and expectations from everyone.
At present, Song Ci's Weibo fans are almost 15 million.
Of course, this amount is not enough in front of the real top class in China.
After all, the base of 3.4 billion people is here.
The real top flow is two or three hundred million Weibo followers.
