Chapter 30: They all chose names
March 27th.
At the Beizhan Theater, Liu Laogen's grand stage premiere in the capital came to an end.
Xu Ming followed Master and bowed to the audience.
The cheers below were like ocean waves, each wave getting higher and higher.
Countless eyes were focused on him, and cheers arose along with his name.
It wasn't until today that he truly realized how terrifying his popularity was this year.
They range from an eighty-year-old man to a three-year-old kid.
When you see him, you can call him "Xu Xiaoming".
"You guys are really good now. Fortunately, the audience is willing to give face to this bad old man like me, otherwise I would have been unable to suppress you." Uncle Motoyama said with emotion.
He sometimes wondered if the waiter in "Not Short of Money" in this year's Spring Festival Gala had been replaced by someone else, would it still have the same effect as it does now.
"This is a moment of excitement for me. Master, you are the anchor of our media."
When Xu Ming opened his mouth, he just said flattery.
No matter what the master thinks, his low profile as a disciple must always be displayed and maintained.
Don't look at him in the media, arguing with Liu Shuangping and other managers.
But when facing the master, he always behaves like a well-behaved disciple.
Even though Uncle Benshan could sense the restlessness of his disciple, he still turned a blind eye until the bottom line was reached.
"Yes, there are many people who have become popular during the Spring Festival Gala over the years. I have also been through ups and downs, and a few of them survived until the end."
"What matters is being practical. The more you want to reach the sky in one step, the easier it is to fall to death." Uncle Benshan said with some caution.
Of course Xu Ming could hear the master's knocking, and smiled and said: "That's what you said."
It is a pity that if you are true to your words and deeds, you will not be able to return to the Northeast for several years before leaving the mountain.
To himself, and to others, it seems that every step he takes is a dangerous one.
But he knew that every step he took was solid.
"My performance during this period has been okay, and I'm quite peaceful. A few days ago, you kid kept me awake all day long, and you kept calling me all the time."
Uncle Benshan patted his beloved disciple on the shoulder and continued: "But as long as we are reasonable, Master will support you in everything."
As he spoke, the aura belonging to the Northeast King came out leisurely.
Everyone around him looked like it was a matter of course. Master was qualified and able to say this.
Wait until backstage.
A group of people came forward, the leader wearing a hat and a wrinkled face.
Seeing the face clearly under the brim of the hat, Uncle Benshan was stunned, and immediately walked over with a wrinkled face.
"Oh Mom, when did you come, Director Zhang?"
"I came right after the opening ceremony, so I didn't want to disturb your performance. The momentum is really quite big."
Zhang Guoshi shook hands with Uncle Benshan vigorously, looked at Xu Ming aside, and said with a smile: "This is Xu Ming, it looks quite different from the Spring Festival Gala."
That is, on the Spring Festival Gala, we acted like a girl, but when we got off the stage, we acted like a pure man.
Xu Ming muttered in his heart, but his face was full of respect: "Hello, Director Zhang, I grew up watching your movies." "Can you kid speak? You were obviously not born when Director Zhang made the movie. , I grew up watching Director Zhang’s movies,” Uncle Benshan joked.
Everyone laughed, and some slightly offensive words came out of the master and apprentice's mouths, which instantly became hilarious.
A group of people found a large room and used it as a temporary meeting room.
"I would like to apologize to everyone first. We should have met a long time ago, but the 2008 Olympics consumed too much energy. In addition, we have to prepare the opera "Turandot" at the Bird's Nest, so it has been postponed until now." Zhang Guoshi Baoquando.
No wonder he became a great director, and while maintaining a high film output, he could also try to maintain the quality of his films.
This is to always have a humble heart.
Looking at Zhang Guoshi's failed films, it is actually mostly due to the influence of the management that he failed to control the elements in the film.
For example, the current "Three Guns", I originally wanted to adapt "Blood Maze", an out-and-out suspense movie.
Zhang Weiping slapped him on the head and invited Zhao Jiaban. How the hell does this duo have anything to do with suspense?
Then to the later "The Great Wall", not to mention, a combination of Chinese and Western cultures.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Starring Matt Damon actually turned down "Manchester by the Sea" in order to star in this film, and became a laughing stock in Hollywood.
"That must be an important task for the country. We are not in a hurry when the movie is shot. All of us in the Zhao family team are ready at any time." Uncle Benshan said.
Others also agreed. Being able to appear in Zhang Guoshi's movie is enough to brag for a lifetime.
Xu Ming nodded. He had no choice but to escape. He could only enjoy it.
Fortunately, "Three Guns" is also a movie with a box office of over 200 million. Maybe with the background of this film, I can become the first actor with a box office of over 10 billion in China Entertainment in the future.
"I have discussed with Weiping that the start date of our movie will be June 3 in Dunhuang. You must reserve the following schedules."
"In addition, the first draft of the script has also been printed out. You can take a look at it first, but there is no guarantee that this will be the final draft."
As Zhang Guoshi spoke, he motioned to his assistant to pass on the script.
After the big guy took it, he looked at it, then looked at it again, and was completely silent.
The names of the characters above clearly read "Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu Mazi, Zhao Liu, Chen Qi".
This is not bad, the others simply have identities and no names at all.
Xu Ming wondered if this was an invisible accusation made by Zhang Guoshi against the investors.
Don’t you guys like to hire famous people? This time I took all the photos and made random names...
Of course, this is just his family's thoughts. Zhang Guoshi should have his own artistic conception in it.
"The actors who will play Zhang San are tentatively named Sun Honglei, Xu Ming will play Li Si, and Yadan will play Chen Qi. Mr. Benshan will play the role of the patrol captain. The remaining roles will be selected next," said Zhang Guoshi.
The roles of the three actors in "Not Short of Money" have definitely been decided, but the remaining roles have to be competed by people from the Zhao family class.
But the script has been given out, so in a sense, it has been through the back door.
"No problem."
Uncle Benshan agreed. He didn't care about the roles he played. The key was whether he could help his apprentices get more roles.
To put it bluntly, how many more years can he continue to work?
Looking at the Deyun Society in later generations, the Communist Party only offered a piece of gold and a small Yueyue. The former left, and the latter could not take the lead alone.
The rest of the disciples are famous, but how many of them are really famous?
Lao Guo is forced to show up frequently to support his disciples despite his age. Whether he can return the favor in the future is another matter.
