Chapter 236: Wooing the Howling Dog
"Well, actually, I don't know much about this, so let's discuss it when the time comes."
"Yes."
Jiang Bai nodded.
After coming to the crew, the first thing Jiang Bai had to do was to have a good relationship with the actors here, and then it would be much more convenient for everyone to shoot each other or teach them their movements by themselves.
After chatting with these young actors, Jiang Bai plunged into the old actors' side again, and several old actors over there were chatting and laughing at this time.
After Jiang Bai came over, he recognized one of the old actors at a glance.
"Teacher You?"
The person he greeted was Jigong's actor You Benzhuan, Jiang Bai couldn't imagine what role the other party had played before, but Jigong was particularly impressed.
Even if this TV series was watched by Jiang Bai before he crossed over, until now, Jiang Bai can feel the terrible acting skills of the old man You Benzhuan just by relying on those impression clips in his mind.
On the same face, crying and laughing at the same time, what kind of expression does this have to be made by an actor?
"You're Jiang Bai, right? It's very good, I heard some old friends talk about you before, saying that you are very dedicated when filming, and you act well. ”
"Teacher You has won the award, I'm just an acting elementary school student now, I liked to watch you play Jigong so much when I was a child."
After Jiang Bai finished speaking, Wu Guohua, the old drama bone who played the Bull Demon King and the Hades King on the side, asked with a smile: "How much do you like it?" ”
Jiang Bai thought for a while: "Let's put it this way, when I was in elementary school, at least half of my classmates had eaten the leg stretching and staring pills I rubbed for them. ”
"Hahaha......" everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
"It's really immoral."
Jiang Bai never took a stand in front of these old actors, Jiang Bai always put on a posture of a junior, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Actually, I thought about it later, I was quite sorry for them, but at that time, they all thanked me afterwards." ”
"Thank you for that?"
"Yes, after all, they were all young at that time, and they didn't understand."
Soon, Jiang Bai relied on his ability to speak of lotus flowers and break into the interior of these old drama bones.
I had a meal here at noon, and those old actors are going back to rest, although they still come out to be actors at this age, their physical strength and spirit are a little unable to keep up, and if they don't rest for a while at noon, they will be out of energy in the afternoon.
It's just that when they walked out of the box, another actor named Chen Yi followed.
"Teacher Jiang, do you have a break at noon?"
"What's wrong, Mr. Chen? I usually work in the morning and only take a break at noon. ”
"Then can I go to you, let's pair words?"
Jiang Bai smiled: "Of course you can, but Teacher Chen doesn't have to be so polite to me, just call me Jiang Bai, or Xiao Jiang." ”
Just now he found that Jiang Bai was easy to talk to, but when he came up to say hello, he was afraid that Jiang Bai was just polite to those old actors, so he was deliberately cautious, because in the final analysis, he was only a supporting role, although Jiang Bai was also a supporting role, but the works that Jiang Bai had acted in were not of the same grade as some of the works he had acted.
"Isn't it okay?"
"What's so bad about that." Jiang Bai knew what the other party was afraid of.
In fact, this is often the case in the entertainment industry, even if some actors are older, but because they have never played any famous roles, and they have always played supporting roles, they will be very polite in front of even actors who are much younger than them before.
This kind of politeness is not the kind of politeness that two colleagues meet, but it has been divided into grades in my heart.
Jiang Bai didn't like this very much, because in his previous life, he had to pretend to be a grandson when he saw anyone, that is, he gradually became the one who gave orders after he gradually gained power.
Even if he usually sees some people calling his sister and brother calling him teacher, it is just normal politeness.
So after Jiang Bai finished speaking, he directly grabbed the other party's arms with both hands and walked towards his room, which made Chen Yi a little embarrassed.
After arriving in Jiang Bai's room, Jiang Bai directly took out the script.
Since he is the action director, he always has several scripts in his bag, in addition to the ones he usually reads, there is another one that he needs to design the actions for the actors.
When he was designing, he had to write and draw on it, and mark it with a serial number.
"Brother Chen, you take this, let's talk about our roles first, because the two of us are basically together every time we appear."
"Okay."
After that, they talked here from 12:30 to 2:00.
After chatting about the general character and performance, they began to chat again.
"Brother Chen, which school did you graduate from?"
"I'm Beiying, I'm probably the worst in our class."
Jiang Bai was a little puzzled when he heard this: "No, when I was talking about the script just now, I felt that Brother Chen, you have a very deep understanding of the role, and when the two of us were talking about the words just now, I felt that your acting skills were also very good." ”
"Alas, how do you say this thing, sometimes it's not that you can get out if you act well, to be honest, I really don't look funny, you should be able to see it, and I'm not very good at talking to people, so it's like this."
Jiang Bai sighed, thinking that probably the other party hadn't met Ning Hao's Bole, Ning Hao never looked at whether the other party was famous or not, as long as he looked distinctive, his acting skills online would meet his selection criteria.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai couldn't help but think about solicitation, because he thought that there seemed to be several roles in his movie that were quite suitable for Chen Yi: "Brother Chen, have you signed a contract with the company now?" ”
"Signed, now I'm in Aixing."
"Love star?"
Jiang Bai thought about it, he had heard the name of this company, because it was also registered in Yanjing, but there didn't seem to be any particularly famous actors under the other company.
"Brother Chen, would you like to come to our company?"
Chen Yi also knows that Jiang Bai now has a media company, and it seems that his path is very wild, and he has connections with many famous directors and well-known actors in China.
Although those people are not from Jiang Bai's company, having such a network shows that Jiang Bai is not so simple.
"I feel like it's okay, our company is actually very good to me, and now there is filming every year."
But Jiang Bai shook his head: "Brother Chen, filming is different from filming, you should also know that our company has only been established for a few years, but there have been two blockbusters in movies, and we have only made two movies so far."
And now except for Jiang Wen, everyone in our company has developed from obscurity to the present.
In our place, there is no such thing as being good-looking and being a protagonist, and if you are not good-looking, you can only be a supporting role, only whether it is suitable or not.
I don't know if you've ever seen Crazy Rocks and Crazy Racing? ”
"I've seen both, and it's very good."
"Yes, if you have seen it, you should know that everyone has their own characteristics in these two movies, and to put it mildly, which of those leading actors do you think is good-looking?"
"It's really nothing."
"So, compared to those actors in our company, you are already handsome."
"We will make at least two more films this year, although I don't know what kind of status you have and what kind of resources you have, but I can guarantee that if you come to our company, there will be a role that suits you best.
Really, even though this is the first time we've met, and we've only been talking for two or three hours from start to finish, I feel like you definitely have potential.
If you're willing to join our company, I can't guarantee how long it will take, but what I can say is that I can definitely get you an actor trophy. ”
If Chen Yi didn't care about the things in front of him, but when Jiang Bai said the four words of the actor trophy, he admitted that he was indeed tempted.
In all fairness, as far as those people in Jiang Bai's company, not to mention Jiang Bai and Jiang Wen, most of the others are not as good as him.
It's just that now he is also thirty years old, and he has been in the entertainment industry for nearly ten years, and he has seen all kinds of people and heard everything, so he feels that Jiang Bai is painting a big cake for him.
After all, how can an actor like himself get the best actor?
It's too far away.
"Brother Chen, Wang Baoqiang, you know, right? When he first joined our company, he went to act in a literary film, and then won the Golden Horse Newcomer Best Actor, and last year he played the leading role in Feng Xiaogang and Feng Director's film, and then he had to say two or three more awards.
"And Huang Bo, he looks much uglier than you, he won the supporting actor in the crazy stone, and he is also the person in our company who can definitely get the best actor."
Seeing that Chen Yi was still hesitating, Jiang Bai said again: "That's it, Brother Chen, if you are willing to join our company, I promise you to arrange a brilliant role for you in the next two movies that our company will make."
And it's just a movie, and if I have any TV series to appear in, I can take you there, as long as you want. ”
The reason why Jiang Bai said this was not to deceive the other party first, but that he really thought that Chen Yi had this value.
Just like Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo, Chen Yi is too suitable for playing those small roles, which TV series doesn't need a brilliant supporting role? The protagonist in any movie also needs some supporting roles to set off.
It was not difficult for Jiang Bai to bring Chen Qi with him when he went out to act.
Even if Jiang Bai doesn't borrow his fame and forcibly wants to take Chen Jie into the group, at least he can give him more opportunities to let Chen Jie interview with those crews, Jiang Bai's reputation and the company's ability make Chen Ting not lose to other actors due to background reasons when the director selects people.
"Jiang Bai is honest, I am indeed a little tempted by what you said."
Hearing this, Jiang Bai also smiled: "Brother Chen, don't worry, our company won't say anything, only look at personal ability, what I said just now can be written into the contract, and if the company can't do it, it will compensate you." ”
It is the first time that Chen Yi has heard such sincere words in so many years since he entered the industry.
Although it is said to be a flatbread, what shape is your bread when people have already put it? How long does it take to make a cake? What does the pie taste like? It's all laid out.
And the main thing is that these things will be written on the contract, which company will promise to tilt how many resources to themselves when signing an actor like themselves?
Nope.
It's not that no one has asked Chen Yi if he wants to go to their company before, but no one has ever said so bluntly how many plays they want to give him, and no one dares to say that he wants Chen Yi to win the actor.
But Jiang Bai said.
Regardless of whether this thing is true or not, Jiang Bai just said it.
"But Mr. Jiang, my company ......"
"It's okay, this is easy to do, if Brother Chen, if you are willing, I will let the company negotiate for you, and we will help you with liquidated damages or something."
"Okay, to be honest, I'm not an impulsive person, but today I admit that I'm impulsive."
Jiang Bai shook his head: "It's okay, this is not an impulse, a good bird chooses a tree to perch, Brother Chen, if you are on fire at that time, there are other companies willing to sign you away, and you are willing to go, we will never stop it, because our company is like this, everyone has nothing to restrain them, if you meet an older person in the company, you will call Sister Sheng, and if you meet a young person, you will call it at will."
If you want, I can give you the contract first, and after you have seen that there are no problems, I will ask the company to talk to your current brokerage company. ”
"Okay, then do as you say." Chen Yi was a little excited.
In the afternoon, they talked a lot in the room, since they want to pull each other in, then Jiang Bai must show his strength, although the strength of the company itself is average, but Jiang Bai's connections are different.
Whether it is the mainland, Xiangjiang or abroad, there are famous directors and actors who can speak well.
Chen Yi suddenly felt that his future was bright again.
……
This Baolian lantern was filmed by CCTV, so it is very sufficient in terms of funds, and the various framing is also quite atmospheric.
However, director Yu Mingsheng is from Xiangjiang, so he also has a part of the character of a director of Xiangjiang.
When Jiang Bai called, he wanted to finish the film earlier, so he agreed.
And now there is no pre-study time at all, and all the actors will start the film directly the next day after they arrive.
From the beginning, it was all Jiang Bai's play, and after filming one shot, the next shot was filmed.
During the break at noon, Yu Mingsheng told everyone that only those who don't practice movements can rest, but anyone who wants to practice movements must follow Jiang Bai to learn to practice.
Including at night, in the absence of night scenes, the crew finished work at six o'clock, but after finishing work, those who want to follow Jiang Bai to practice their movements must stay here until at least eight o'clock before they can go back.
Because Jiang Bai was in a hurry, he could take advantage of Jiang Bai's excuse to leave earlier and work overtime to finish filming these scenes.
But Jiang Bai also appreciates this kind of resolute character, and it is the first time he has seen such a fiery director.
