Chapter 592 Four Women and Four Men
In the original timeline, after the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.
Sina commented: "Not only are there not as many stars as the organizers described at this Golden Rooster Awards, but the organization and management can only be described as 'chaos'." The "justice, fairness" and "attractiveness" of the Golden Rooster Award, the only professional award in mainland China's film industry, have been challenged again. "
To say it is a harsh comment is actually putting it mildly.
Not only was there a lack of big-name celebrities to support the show, but there were not many people going, and the starlight at the venue was dim.
It has been shown that even people in the industry look down upon this so-called highest award in the mainland's professional film industry.
Justice and fairness are also highlighted, which is self-explanatory.
Liaoshen Evening News also commented: "There seems to be nothing redeeming about this Golden Rooster Award. Objectively speaking, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival does have many problems in the awarding mechanism and operation links. But. To revitalize domestic film festivals, we cannot rely solely on film associations and government departments. It is also important for filmmakers to take action.”
There are many problems in the awards mechanism and operation links.
What is the importance of a filmmaker’s “practical practice”?
Just make it clear that there is no justice or fairness in this award.
Wang Shu knew that many big-name stars did not go to this Golden Rooster Awards, and the stars were dim. In addition, the Best Director Award went to Feng Xiaogang.
He would not stupidly run over and be slapped by the organizer.
In the future, he may appear at the Golden Rooster Awards.
Just, not now.
Moreover, not only did he have a reason to decline the Golden Rooster Award, but he also had no fault with it.
This is because he has never been to the Golden Horse Awards.
In this way, no one can say that as a mainland director, he licks the golden horse of the treasure island and looks down on the golden rooster of the mainland.
As for the Oscars and the top three in Europe.
As one of the top four global awards, it is already a globally sought-after brand.
In a blink of an eye, the National Day is here.
From October 1st to October 8th, there are a total of 8 days of holiday.
Not to mention that many people only take 3 days off. Even for those who can take 8 days off, there is still bad news.
October 1st is the National Day and October 3rd is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are combined together, with an 8-day holiday.
If they are not connected together, the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays should total 10 days.
Workers at the bottom level do not only have 3 days of vacation, but 4 days of vacation.
4 days paid leave.
Yishu Company is also on holiday. Because the company has many things to do, some people need to work overtime.
Three times the salary during holidays.
Wang Shu is also working overtime.
To be precise, he does not have a specific vacation time.
When there are many things and he is busy, he is still working even on holidays.
But when there are less things to do and work is relatively free, even if it is a working day, he is on vacation.
Not only him, but also Sun Li, Chen Hao, Liu Yan, Chen Kun, Deng Chao and others did not have a holiday. They all gathered at Yishu Company to conduct a reading of "The Night When the Comet Came".
The set of this movie is a house. The Yishu Company team has already found a location, and now they are waiting for the actors to familiarize themselves with the script and get into the characters, and then start shooting.
There are only 8 actors in the whole play, Sun Li, Chen Hao, Liu Yan, Zhao Liying, playing the roles of female one to female four, respectively
Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Jiang Wu, Yang Wei , playing the roles of male one to male four respectively.
Although the age of the actors is somewhat different from the original version, Wang Shu made changes.
Not to mention, his version is a gathering of young people, and it would be inappropriate to find some older people like the original version.
Eight people sat in the conference room and exchanged greetings.
No one is surprised that Yang Wei was able to get the role.
Everyone knows that Yang Wei is Wang Shu’s friend since he was young.
This time, it is just to support the role given by the other party.
What is strange to Sun Li and others is that Zhao Liying has no impression and cannot see the way out.
Zhao Liying was looked at vaguely by Sun Li, Chen Hao and others, and she knew why, and her pretty face felt inexplicably embarrassed.
She wanted to say that Director Wang was a serious person and did not seduce her.
And she didn’t get the role through physical superiority.
She wanted to say that she was also surprised when she received a call from a tree company.
I never expected that such a great thing could happen to her.
Then I thought about it and remembered that I had auditioned for "Pacific Rim" before.
Maybe it was that time that left an impression on Director Wang unintentionally, and that gave me this opportunity.
"Do you understand the script?" Liu Yan asked curiously.
She plays the third female lead and has no objection to Sun Li and Chen Hao playing the first and second female leads.
Sun Li is now a popular actress, and Chen Hao is the first sister of Cheng Tianqian. Her popularity is far inferior to these two, so she will not feel uncomfortable.
Movies also have knowledge when it comes to casting.
If you choose two actors of equal stature, it would be okay if they are friends in private, otherwise there will be infighting in the crew. If the second female lead has a higher status than the first female lead, then the second female lead will be dissatisfied with the first female lead, and will be inconvenient to deal with in various ways.
It is undeniable that Chen Hao is the first sister of Chengtian, but her identity as the first sister is not only relatively empty, but also in the past tense.
Nowadays, when it comes to celebrity status, she is not as good as Sun Li.
Jiang Wu shook his head: "I know only a little bit about it."
Deng Chao said: "Lili and I watched some Hollywood movies. Although we didn't understand them thoroughly, we could almost understand the scripts."
< br>Chen Hao echoed: "I also watched some Hollywood movies, which is similar to what Deng Chao said."
Chen Kun: "Same, I also watched some Hollywood movies, and I can almost understand it. "
Liu Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say no wonder someone could play the first female, second female, first male, and second male, but he was so stupid that he didn't do anything in the co-production?
No, it’s not just you.
At least Jiang Wu is the same as himself.
Yes.
Jiang Wu plays the third male lead!
Seeing that Sun Li and others could understand the script, they immediately shut themselves up.
Just when she was autistic, Zhao Liying also said: "I have also watched some Hollywood movies. Although I still don't fully understand the script, I already have some understanding."
Sun Li, Chen Kun, etc. Everyone knows that what Zhao Liying said was polite.
Now that you have watched Hollywood movies of the same type, you can understand the framework and structure of "The Night the Comet Came" as long as you are not a fool.
Youdao means that people's joys and sorrows are not connected.
Sun Li and others felt that Zhao Liying should have understood the script, but Liu Yan opened his mouth.
After working on it for a long time, the first female to the fourth female co-author was the third female who didn't understand the script?
Suddenly, I became even more autistic.
Zhao Liying saw Liu Yan's expression and knew that she had said the wrong thing again.
If I had known it, I would not have spoken.
After receiving a call from Yishu, Zhao Liying knew that this was a great opportunity. She first agreed and then went to Yishu Company to get the script.
After returning home, I found that I couldn't understand.
Zhao Liying knew the importance of this opportunity and did not dare to leave a bad impression in front of Wang Shu, so she immediately found a way to understand the script.
She also heard that Wang Shu’s movies were more Hollywood-oriented, so she had the idea to find some Hollywood movies of the same type to watch.
After reading it, it was really easy to understand the script in my hand.
At this time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In her opinion, as long as she could understand the script, there was a high probability that she would not leave a bad impression on Wang Shu.
In fact, Chen Hao is the same as her, but Chen Hao did not watch similar Hollywood movies to understand the script because he was worried about making a bad impression on Wang Shu.
But as an actor, she believes that understanding the script is her job.
Originally she wanted to consult Wang Shu, but then she thought that Wang Shu had many things to do and was busy at work, so she gave up the idea of consulting Wang Shu, and then watched Hollywood movies of the same type to help her understand the script.
As for Sun Li, she was dragged by Deng Chao to watch Hollywood movies of the same type.
Deng Chao finally got the second male lead in a science fiction movie directed by Wang Shu, and wanted to show off in front of Wang Shu.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand the script, just find a way to understand it.
I then watched Hollywood movies of the same type to help me understand the script.
Sun Li was pulled together by him, and the two of them watched it together, and discussed with each other, and slowly understood the script.
The same is true for Chen Kun.
Liu Yan did not have this understanding. She subconsciously believed that she could get the role of the third female lead because she slept with Wang Shu.
When she thought about it, Wang Shu was relatively upright and also cared about relationships. He most likely thought that she was sleeping anyway and couldn't ignore it, so he immediately gave her the role of the third female lead.
Liu Yan has been struggling with this these days, so he has not thought of ways to help him understand the script like Chen Hao and others.
In other words, she subconsciously believed that Wang Shu would help her even if she didn't understand.
After all, no matter what, it is an "intimate" relationship.
When Liu Yan was autistic, Yang Wei also said: "I also found some Hollywood movies to watch, not to mention that this method is really effective."
"I didn't understand the script very much at first, but I watched some similar movies I slowly began to understand the movie.”
Seeing everyone looking over, Yang Wei sneered: “But it’s not like you who thought of watching the same type of movie in Hollywood, but I can’t understand it. I called Director Wang and he asked me to look for movies of the same type in Hollywood, and then I found a lot of movies of the same type on the Internet."
Liu Yan heard this. She opened her mouth, why didn't she ask Wang Shu about such a simple matter?
It’s even more autistic.
Jiang Wu was also a little embarrassed. If he had known this, he would have called Wang Shu.
After he got the script, he couldn’t understand it. He originally wanted to consult Wang Shu, but then he thought that Wang Shu was very busy and Wang Shu said there would be a book reading meeting later, so he decided on this idea.
Then I thought about consulting Jiang Wen with the script, but I felt it was not good and gave up the idea.
If I had known that calling Wang Shu would give me the answer to finding similar movies to watch in Hollywood, I would have made a call without disturbing Wang Shu.
Today
Fortunately, I'm not the only one who doesn't quite understand the script.
There is still someone to keep you company.
