220 Check out the filming of "To Youth" and the new collaboration with Alima
After the completion of "The Origin of the White Snake", the next movie "Violent Block" will start on May 10, and the original plan was to start filming in June, but there was a conflict in time. "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" is going to be released on July 6, he can't help but publicize it, right? Therefore, "Violent Block" must be completed before the end of June, and the start time has to be moved forward, so it is set for May 10.
There are still more than 20 days before the start of "Violent Block", who is not idle in the past 20 days, he has to take a look at how the filming of "To Youth" is doing, he, the nominal producer, has to show up, right?
He also had to think about how to carry out the project with Alima, and he promised Alima's, so he came up with a plan.
He even has to go to the United States before the end of April, he's a director, he can't just step on the opening day, right? Although there are more than N people who help him arrange the preliminary preparations properly, Zhang Qian has not come back and has been busy with these things.
But he always has to arrive more than ten days before the start of filming, he has to check the preparations again, as well as the status of the actors, and even organize everyone to read the script or something.
And, of course, finalizing the "Edge of Tomorrow" collaboration with Warner, and discussing the creation of "X-Men" with Fox.
These are all things, and ten days may not be enough.
Therefore, after He Fang rested at home for three days, he went to Guizhou on April 18, and "To Youth" filmed a part here, and He Fang came to take a look.
The director and actors of "To Youth" in this time and space have undergone complete changes, but he doesn't care, anyway, it's for newcomers to practice, and it doesn't matter if there is an effect of another time and space if there is a change.
When he arrived in Anshun, Guizhou, He Fang didn't go to the crew but first went to Huangguoshu to play, in fact, he went to take a photo with a card, and then posted a circle of friends.
WeChat has also been supported, and the mobile phone has also been replaced with Huawei P1, which was only released in China, but it was released internationally as early as January. Therefore, He Fang also asked people to buy it in advance from within Huawei.
Of course, He Fang didn't have so much time to play, that is, he walked around Huangguoshu and then went to the crew.
"Director He, are you here?"
As soon as I went to the crew, He Fang was welcomed, the actors of "To Youth" were Tong Dawei, Kan Qingzi, Zhu Yilong, Chong Danni, Xi Wang, Song Yi and others, as well as a group of young actors, all of whom were in Chinese opera and Nortel.
Campus stories, of course, use young actors.
These young actors are as excited as seeing He Fang as if they were idols, and they are all looking forward to the day when He Fang is as world-famous as He Fang, and of course, they hope to have the opportunity to play the role in He Fang's movie from now on.
Of course, who doesn't want to be famous?
Several other actors are familiar with He Fang, but this Song Yi is not very familiar.
"Director He, I participated in your audition in Chinese opera, you may not remember me." Song Yi introduced himself to He Fang.
"Oh, I'll just say how it looks familiar, I see. Play well, you are so cute and cute, the characteristics of the small jasper will definitely have a good room for development, just don't worry, do the basic skills first. He Fang inspired her by the way.
Why did he deliberately motivate Song Yi? Because he watched the TV series "Son-in-law" in another time and space, he felt that the heroine she played was quite successful, this is a powerful actor, but it is estimated that it is a little difficult to become popular.
Maybe I'll help her with a few words? Anyway, you don't need money to say good things.
He Fang's praise first made Song Yi a little excited, "Thank you Director He for your praise, I will continue to work hard." ”
"Well, come on, our company has a lot of movies every year, slowly start with supporting roles, lay a good foundation, and what becomes famous and a family will come naturally. You guys, don't keep thinking about becoming famous overnight, the story of becoming famous overnight is not a common phenomenon, it requires coincidence, just like the so-called 'Mou Girl', 'Jing Girl', 'Star Girl', that's all chance. ”
"So what if you don't have that chance in life? You still have to rub your feet on the ground, use your strength to go up step by step, and I believe that we will succeed in the future. As long as you have the strength and don't talk about others, just Tuanhuo Culture makes so many movies a year, and we can digest you. ”
He Fang turned to the young actors around him, actors in this era still have basic skills, and the example of their predecessors is still useful to them.
"Hee-hee, that's great. Director He, everyone says that the fastest way for an actor to become famous is to take on more roles as true actors, so that he can highlight himself more, so what if there are not so many true roles? ”
Someone in the crowd suddenly asked, where did he turn his head and look, it turned out to be the small-faced Zheng Kai, no wonder he asked such a question. Some of the scenes with his face shape are really difficult to catch, not brilliant, and he doesn't belong to the type of handsome guys.
When Zheng Kai speaks, he means an actor who focuses on performing roles similar to his own personality. Every image created by this kind of actor seems to be their own, but they are distinct characters. His performances tend to be natural, unpretentious, and have few traces of carving.
For example, Liu Yifei, she plays those fairy sisters, and the heroines and fairies in ancient costumes are played in their true colors, because the image and temperament of those characters are very close to herself, and she almost doesn't have to play that role.
Such an actor is easy to become famous, and it is easy to take a role that suits him.
Therefore, like Zheng Kai said, with his appearance and temperament, how can there be so many roles similar to his image and temperament for him to play? The question is, what about the characters who don't match his image and temperament?
He Fang smiled, "You, this question is very unreasonable, since you can't be an actor in your true colors, then work hard for a character actor." Knowing that your image and temperament may not be suitable for most roles, then try to be a character actor and prove your acting skills with strength. ”
What is a Character Actor? In a word: good at using acting skills to create a variety of characters with different personalities.
It's what we call the acting school, and the performance skills of thousands of people.
"Stanislavsky once said: 'All the creators of the character image, without exception, should be re-embodied and personalized.' What do you mean? That is, when facing a role, you have to remove the original you, and cover yourself with the role's you, at that time you are no longer the original you, and the role of you is you. ”
After He Fang finished speaking, he stepped forward and patted Zheng Kai on the shoulder, "Believe in yourself, as long as your acting skills are good enough, nothing can restrain you." ”
Zheng Kai suddenly felt that He Fang's palm slapped like this, as if he had slapped some kind of mana, and the whole future felt bright, and he nodded fiercely.
"Okay, Director He, I see."
He Fang nodded, then glanced at the others.
"In the same way, you don't always have the mentality of being an actor to find a good role, there are not so many good things in this world that Liu Yifei meets the role of a fairy sister. Moreover, there will also be drawbacks to true color actors, what if there is no suitable true color role? So how else to act? ”
"I can understand your impatient desire to become famous after four years of college, and I understand your sense of pressure, thinking that who is younger than me and whose acting skills are not as good as mine, but he is now a first-class star, so you are in a hurry."
"I've had this mentality too, I was in a hurry when I was in the U.S., I think I've been in the U.S. for eight years, and I feel very anxious because I can't even get into the creative department of a big company."
"To be honest, when I first came back to China, I had a mixed attitude, because I didn't have much confidence. But...... By chance, I became who I am now. ”
"However, if it weren't for my precipitation in the first eight years, even if the opportunity came, it might not have been as successful as I am now. So, don't be in a hurry. With your current ability, even if you can't become a frontline, so what? Will it starve you to death? You can also film a lot of movies every year, and earn many times more than ordinary people. So, calm your mind, and you will get more when you have a calm mindset. ”
After He Fang finished speaking, everyone felt like they had received a psychological treatment and comfort, and everyone's impetuousness was a little less.
Sure enough, in the next shooting, everyone seems to have undergone a transformation, and the performance is more relaxed, more spiritual and more sincere, more like what the character should be.
The actors' performances got better, which made the three directors smile, but also scratched their heads.
Li Xiaojiang, one of the directors, asked He Fang in front of the monitor, "Director He, what magic power do you have?" Why did you come here and do nothing, just sit in the back of here, and then feed them a bowl of chicken soup, and they changed? ”
"Haha......" laughed as everyone else gathered around the monitor.
"Hehe, when you come to my part, you can do the same, this is the magic of fame. When you become famous, your words will be honored by newcomers. He Fang took a puff of cigarette and smiled.
"Can you sit in the back of this all the time? Our shoot is expected to go a lot smoother. Liu Chang, one of the directors, asked.
"That can't be, I don't have that much time. Besides, if you want to grow, you have to learn experience, and the biggest source of experience lies in the many problems you encounter, as long as you encounter all kinds of problems and focus on solving them, then the future experience will be rich. I'm sitting here, all your questions are gone, what lessons can you learn? ”
The reasons are so lofty that it is impossible to refute them.
"Huh? Director He, you ...... Can we say it so tall and unconcerned about it? The third director, Jing Lipeng, said sadly.
"Hey, you're begging for a fight, aren't you?"
"Haha......"
……
He Fang only had five days in the crew of "To Youth", and it just so happened that they finished filming in five days here, and then they had to go to many universities to shoot.
So on April 23, the main creators of the crew got together.
This is the finale banquet for the crew of "To Youth"? Or where is the encouragement banquet for the crew of "To Youth"?
Anyway, I can't tell the difference, it's just who came to the crew for five days and then separated, and the creators got together, that's it.
"Come, come, come, all the circle friends, all the circle friends, they are all begging for food in the entertainment industry. Today, you and I are destined to gather here, especially if we are fortunate to have close contact with Director He, this is a great blessing, come, toast to this. ”
Zheng Kai is very good at enlivening the atmosphere, like a little teaser.
"Brother Kai, how did you get into close contact with what you call close contact? Why didn't Director He have close contact with us? I've collaborated with Director He in a few plays, and I haven't had close contact with him, why are you ......?"
Zhu Yilong was ridiculing Zheng Kai, and then he flicked his fingers on the door.
"Now, this is a close encounter, right? You're going to make a fuss. But if you put a little more effort into your acting skills, you will grow faster. He criticized Zhu Yilong.
"Ouch, Director He, I've worked hard, okay."
"Hmph, forget it, I don't even want to talk about you. Come, come, come, drink and drink......"
Everyone gathered and drank until about midnight, after all, the next day was still busy, who was the next day's ticket to fly to Shanghai in the morning, and then transferred to Hangzhou.
He was going to meet Alima to talk about the cooperation business he had promised before, but in fact, this business was not surprising, he just wanted to make a global version of Maoyan + Netflix.
It is estimated that there is no way out for a physical theater chain, Wanda has done it in another time and space, and they acquired AMC, what is the result? After holding it for a few years, it ended its holding of AMC by selling shares and withdrawing from the board of directors.
Why is this happening? The reason is very simple, Wanda acquired but can't manage things, the whole company is full of American things, it is impossible for you to replace all of them by a Chinese, you can't replace them at all. I can't manage it, you want to use AMC to send some Chinese films to help Chinese films? Dream about it, you can't even manage the company, and you still want to use the theater chain to do your own thing?
Therefore, He Fang gave up the offline cinema route, because it was difficult to pry. Or let Wanda pry, he pry and then cooperate with them to form an alliance online and offline, which may have some effect.
This is what Fang thinks, you really have to be your own development and operation of something like a cinema, and you want to turn it into your own if you want to acquire it, and you can't play it if you take it over in a few years.
In 2012, two theaters were opened in Hong Kong, one in Macau, and then it will radiate to Southeast Asia.
However, the construction and operation of cinemas is not a matter of one or two days, not to mention the development and operation of international cinemas.
"Director He, welcome to Hangzhou, let's go, go to dinner first, I heard that you have a very bad feeling about Hangzhou cuisine, and I specially invited a top Hunan cuisine chef." Alima said with a smile on his face.
"Yo, Mr. Ma is really attentive, thank you." He Fang arched his hand unexpectedly.
