Chapter 427 Visiting Jing Tian
"Yes, commercial movies pursue entertainment attributes, everything is based on box office, as long as they are good-looking, the box office is high~"
"Don't you think that as the most popular director in China now, you have not been recognized by any awards. Is this very abnormal thing?"
Zhang Chen shook his head: "I don't need recognition of awards, recognition of box office is enough."
The students who attended the audience were a little excited. Zhang Chen seemed to be targeted, and some professors disliked Zhang Chen.
"Why don't you try to pay more attention to the humanistic care aspect?"
"I have attention. Teacher Fu Donglai's "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" is a humanistic care movie. It focuses on the working people. I invested~
But humanistic care is also a seasoning. Take my graduation work "Silent Land" for example. The cost of more than 10 million US dollars and more than 80 million RMB is the biggest original sin. Therefore, you must consider commercial returns. Movies that do not consider commercial returns are all hooligans..."
"Isn't it too absolute?"
"No, I still have the same view. If the director wants to make more personal expressions, it is OK, but please use your own money..."
There was a professor who wanted to cause trouble for him, which he didn't expect.
He didn't mind the other time, it was nothing more than the differences between commercial films and author films.
But in the end this situation did not happen, and the school would not allow this situation to happen.
Although Zhang Chen knew that his graduation defense was just a formality, he would definitely graduate smoothly even if he didn't.
But even if you go through the motions, you must be serious.
After all, he is a celebrity, staring at him thousands of pairs of eyes.
In his previous life, Zhao Yanzi could have graduated from graduate school and was well known to everyone in the whole country, and his current situation was not much different.
After participating in the graduation defense, it is also mid-June.
The Shanghai Film Festival is about to open. "Silent Land" is the opening film. Of course, in exchange, Zhang Chen has to attend the Shanghai Film Festival.
Zhong Film's screening is very powerful. Throughout July, Zhong Film did not arrange any opponents for "Silent Land".
The popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Mission Impossible 3" are all scheduled in August, while "Return of Superman" and "Garfield" are at the end of June.
"Silent Land" is scheduled to be released on July 11, and both China and the United States are on this date.
On June 16th, the Shanghai Film Festival opened~
Shanghai Film Festival is the only A-Class film festival in China, and its level is higher than that of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers...
"Silent Land" was designated as the opening film and received a lot of attention.
This is of course one of the means of publicity.
Business movies focus the most on publicity.
A lot of people have to help promote.
"Silent Land", premiering in Cannes, triggered a movie viewing frenzy. The opening film of the Shanghai Film Festival has received a lot of attention.
According to common sense in the industry, Cannes is famous, which is about $5 million in publicity. If it is the Palme d'Or, it will be even more powerful, probably $15 million in publicity.
Star Entertainment, Zhang Chen posted a blog to help promote, and also forwarded Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun is the star who is better at Zhang Chen.
As for the others, the regular ones are poster layout, trailer placement and other means.
During this period, the two have also appeared on many variety shows, and even once appeared on "Base Camp".
By the way, Zhang Chen has a good relationship with Mango TV. After all, Zhang Chen has sponsored a lot of songs in the previous "Super Girl"~
As the only A-Class film festival in China, the Shanghai Film Festival has long become one of the most important publicity bases for Chinese films.
Every June, major film and television companies will come to Shanghai with their upcoming new films.
Huayi has "Night Banquet", Xingchen Entertainment is "Silent Land", and the new picture is "Golden Breast"~
If "Painted Skin" was not still in the later stage of production, Zhang Chen would have to bring the main creator of "Painted Skin".
As the only A-Class film festival in China, there are many filmmakers who come to support it.
Many big guys, such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Johnnie To, Feng Xiaogang, and Ang Lee, are all here~
Zhang Chen, the largest director in China, is naturally no exception.
What is a bit surprising is that Zhang Weiping actually came too~
Brother, are you lost?
Do you don’t know how bad your popularity is, and you dare to come over.
Zhang Weiping is here to promote "Golden Breast", and other colleagues are Gong Li, Ge You and Chow Yun-fat...
All of them are on the front line~
Don’t it mean that there is a conflict between Zhang Weiping and Chow Yun-fat? Why are they still together?
In the last life, Zhang Chen saw reports that Zhang Weiping complained that Chow Yun-fat was too expensive, saying that all Chow Yun-fat's treatment was based on Hollywood, with a salary of 8 million US dollars, and he also required an independent RV.
The function of an independent RV is actually only one, it is regarded as a private toilet.
This operation is almost standard in later generations. If you have your own independent RV, and it is often the celebrity's own.
But in 2006, it was still the only one~
Zhang Weiping was very unhappy. Why are you, Chow Yun-fat? Cheng Long doesn’t ask for an independent RV? Why are you, Chow Yun-fat?
When I talk about this, I have to complain about Zhang Weiping. If you can’t stand it, wouldn’t it be over if you didn’t sign it?
After signing, I complained that he was a big shot. Isn’t he a bit hooligan?
Zhang Weiping is indeed a hooligan. He has such a virtue and firmly believes that hype is the king.
But Chow Yun-fat's behavior is indeed inappropriate, at least Zhang Chen doesn't like it.
The salary starts at 8 million US dollars, what about the bad guys?
Chow Yun-fat's agent said that this is based on Hollywood prices.
But Zhang Chen just wanted to ask, how dare you?
Don't you know what level you are?
How pitfalls are there in Chow Yun-fat? It has been briefly described in the previous article.
Among Hong Kong's Hollywood stars, Chow Yun-fat can be said to have the best resources.
But he was the only one who played Tianhu cards as his husband.
No one masterpiece.
Just that's why I'm so embarrassed to say that I'm a Hollywood star.
Wang Jing once said: In Hollywood, Chow Yun-fat is not a big name, Jet Li is.
Jet Li's popularity in North America is not a big deal.
Although his movies are not very box office, their DVD sales are amazing, so he is called a Hollywood superstar.
Cheng Long is almost the same.
Wang Jing can be said to be sober in the world, and he can tell the secret of heaven in one word.
Therefore, the producers would rather spend a sky-high price of 100 million than hire Jet Li, because as long as he has him, the film will not be worried about selling abroad.
It’s very realistic in Hong Kong. No matter who you are, you will be a loser if you fail.
A character like Fatty Hong, who is a popular figure in the Hong Kong film industry, almost made him lose his scene after several consecutive movies. If his junior brother Jackie Chan hadn't helped him, this person would have been found in the entertainment industry.
The so-called Hollywood halo like Chow Yun-fat is a bit useful in the mainland. It can be misleading, but no one invites it in Hong Kong.
On the opening ceremony, Zhang Chen received two good news.
"Before Dawn" was successfully completed.
The other one is that the second season of "Wulin Waizai" was sold, but it is still Mango TV, and it was sold at a good price.
…
Hengdian, Studio 2, Filming Office of "Giant Crocodile Storm"
Executive Director: "The whole audience is quiet, turn on, and shoot in real time."
Videographer: "rolling."
Scene Note: "11 7-scenes of "Giant Crocodile Storm".
Director: "action!"
Three seconds later, the performance officially began.
The little green man wrapped around his body was lying on the ground and approaching Jing Tian step by step. In the formal picture, the little green man would be replaced with a crocodile made with special effects.
According to the script settings, it was the first time that Jing Tian saw a crocodile at this time. She was so scared that she was so weak that she could only drag her around on the ground little by little.
Jing Tian said she knew it, and then she pretended to be panicked and scared on her face.
But it was just that panic, no matter how you look at it, you feel something was wrong.
"Click~"
Wen Ziren put down the guide in anger and signaled the lady to come over.
Before the young lady got close, she was scolded: "What I want is acting skills. Do you understand acting skills?"
At first, he thought it was not difficult to live, but after taking over for a few days, he found that it was not the case at all.
The performance of the heroine in front of her was completely impossible to meet his requirements.
The usual scenes are good, but once the scenes of emotions explode, they can't be done. Just today's scene of being approached by a crocodile, I was filmed several times but I was always a little bit short of my emotions.
Jing Tian herself also felt something was wrong. She knew it was her own problem, but because she could not communicate, she could only hide in the corner and cry helplessly.
When I was crying to the point of being sad, a voice suddenly came from behind me: "What's wrong with this? Why are you crying so hard?"
It's Zhang Chen~
I couldn't come here before because of graduation defense. Now that the defense is over, of course I have to come and have a look.
"What's going on? Aren't you getting along very happily?"
"Blame me, I can't act well in one scene, which makes the director angry?"
"That scene?"
"That scene was forced back by a crocodile."
"Oh, let me show it~"
Wen Ziren also saw Zhang Chen and came over to hug him enthusiastically.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Zhang, it's great that you're here~"
"What, is there something not to get used to?"
Wen Ziren shook his head helplessly: "It's okay to say anything else, communication is a big problem. Sometimes the heroine's performance cannot meet my requirements, but I can't clearly convey my thoughts to her..."
After talking to Wan Ziren, the performance started again.
This time the performance did not start, so as not to waste it.
"Ah~"
Jing Tian seemed to have seen something terrible and crawled on the ground.
Zhang Chen finally knew where the problem was~
To put it bluntly, Jing Tian didn't know where there was a problem.
"I have tried my best to perform? But I always feel something is wrong and I don't know what to do~"
Zhang Chen was also a little confused, and his acting skills were impossible to improve at once.
Jing Tian has never been able to make it in later generations, at least it means that she is not the kind of talent.
Since you can't rely on acting skills, then you have a real feeling.
"Props, props~"
Hearing Zhang Chen calling him, the prop team leader immediately ran over: "Director Zhang, what orders?"
"Go and find a mouse or a snake~"
The prop team leader's head suddenly went down: "What...what?"
"Go and find a mouse or a snake..."
The prop team leader went out in a hurry to find these two things.
After a while, the prop team leader came out with a snake.
Although this is south, it is not enough to have snakes.
But it was not difficult for him, he knew there were some sales in nearby restaurants.
"Itisagoodidea~"
Wen Ziren also understood what Zhang Chen was going to do now.
Executive Director: "The whole audience is quiet, turn on, real shots."
Videographer: "rolling."
Scene Note: "11 scenes of "Giant Crocodile Storm" 8 mirrors."
Director: "action!"
Three seconds later, the little green man appeared in front of Jing Tian, but also a swimming snake on the ground.
The snake is a cauliflower snake, which is not small.
After all, it is used to cook in a restaurant, so it is not good if it is small.
"Ah~"
A high-pitched female scream, and then she saw Jing Tian staggering back, and in front of her was a cauliflower snake constantly approaching.
Jing Tian's movements are very fast, and the expression on her face is also very real.
Nonsense, which woman is not afraid of snakes.
"Crack~"
Wen Ziren was so satisfied with this scene. She watched the replay after watching it, but there was no problem at all. "It's good, prepare for the next game~"
The moment the director shouted "click", the cauliflower snake was put away by the props, and Jing Tian, who was still in shock, relaxed a little.
Only in this moment, she was already in a cold sweat, but when she heard the director say it, she looked surprised again.
When thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Zhang Chen more: "Thank you, Director Zhang~"
"You're welcome, these are my duties..."
Zhang Chen appeared on the set and would definitely treat him to dinner in the evening.
There is no big fanfare, just a simple meal.
At the table, Jing Tian came over to toast with a glass of wine and said again: "Thank you really, Director Zhang today. I don't know how many days Director Zhang stays here and can teach me my acting skills. I... really don't want to drag the crew down..."
The little girl has a thin skin, and her face is blushing when she said this. "Okay, come and see me anytime if you need it~" Zhang Chen said politely, but that night, someone knocked on Zhang Chen's door, which was Jing Tian. "Director Zhang, can you help me guide tomorrow's drama? I'm afraid I will not act well."
New actors are generally very sensitive, fearing that they will not act well and delay the progress of the filming. "Now?" Zhang Chen thought Jing Tian didn't understand. This little girl has always been well protected, looking at her big eyes without scheming. "Okay, come in~"
Hesitated for a moment, and finally let her in.
...
The next morning, Zhang Chen woke up and looked at the ceiling to ponder...
Last night, he was obviously instructing acting skills, so why did he come to the bed?
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember how all this happened.
Turn your head and look at that face. It can be broken by blowing~
He is not afraid of having sex with an actress, but he is indeed a little afraid of having sex with Jing Tian.
There is too much energy.
And Jing Tian is indeed a little simple, he never thought about what to do with Jing Tian.
Wait, is it simple?
Who made the first move last night?
Zhang Chen was still trying to recall the girl's eyelashes trembled for a moment, and Jing Tian was about to wake up.
Zhang Chen didn't know how to deal with it, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep to see what the other party was going to do.
He deliberately adjusted his breathing, making himself look like he was still sleeping soundly.
The director's acting skills are usually OK.
The rustling sound came from beside him, as if he was wearing clothes. After a while, the sound of the door closing came from the door. Only then did Zhang Chen dare to open his eyes. The bed was empty and the person had already left~
It seemed that the other party had no intention of further development, but just had a simple communication, which made him feel much more relieved.
