Chapter 463 Audition of "Pacific Rim"
According to the Golden Eagle Festival process, there is a singing and dancing performance at the beginning, followed by an award ceremony, and there is an industry forum after the award ceremony.
Now it is called a seminar.
The main ones are experts, scholars and industry insiders in the TV industry gathered together to discuss some opportunities and problems that arise in the TV industry in China and provide advice on the development of the TV industry.
In addition, it is an opportunity for internal communication. Some film and television projects and script transactions will be sold at this seminar.
It has some market functions.
But Zhang Chen didn't have this interest, and he and these people were not the same as each other. He left directly after the award ceremony.
In fact, most people do this.
The Golden Eagle Festival ended successfully, and the next day was of course a huge overwhelming report on the Golden Eagle Festival.
But it's very strange that no one pays attention to this Golden Eagle Festival. Most of the reports are about Liu Tianxian. She won the first Golden Eagle Goddess and sang a song.
The song he sang is called "Heart Palpitations", a song title that only fairy fans know.
The media praised Liu Tianxian, who was dazzling, had a steady typhoon and had great singing skills.
Is it dazzling?
It is indeed dazzling.
Liu Tianxian has a good foundation and can handle any kind of dress. Most people can't handle the golden golden eagle goddess outfit, but it complements each other when worn by Liu Tianxian.
This is Liu Tianxian, who doesn’t like hype so much.
If it were Fan Xiaopang, the report on the next day would definitely be "Golden Eagle Festival, Fan Binbin plays the whole audience"...
The domestic "Yangfeng" was brought up by Fan Xiaopang. No matter what event you attend, you can read the media articles, and it is accurate to "Fan Binbin plays the most beautiful and strong".
Anyway, no matter who the other party is, let’s talk about it first.
Continue to talk about Liu Tianxian, who deserves his glory and his typhoon is so steady, but he really can't praise his singing.
"Heart Palpitations" is a fast song. What singing skills are needed?
And the tone and breath are quite average, at best, it is KTV level.
But people just flatter, shameless.
Even if it is Douyin twenty years later, you still love it and don’t want it when you comment.
Our celestial fairy is the best, and it is ten streets ahead of other artists!
The style and outfit of the MV are clearly all the same as Jolin Tsai, who seems to be carved from the same mold, why is it more than ten streets from other artists?
We often say that appearance is justice, and we think this is a very trendy joke. In fact, it is the only one that others play. In 2006, Tianxian fans already played like this.
Zhang Chen looked at this girl from the perspective of a later generation, but he was actually quite confused.
Liu Tianxian is a very contradictory person:
On the one hand, she is very traditional, she takes her mother everywhere she goes, and she has no opinion. Whatever her mother says is what she says.
This is often criticized.
At the same time, Liu Tianxian is very personalityful.
The reason why she performed a dance music at the awards ceremony and sang and danced was to break people's inherent perception of her.
Overy actors are more or less bound by their roles.
In fact, it cannot be said to be a restraint.
The audience's perception of actors all comes from the role.
The characters are gentle and kind, and the audience thinks that the actor himself has the same personality.
So actors who become popular generally maintain their character designs because once they break through their character designs, it means losing fans.
But Liu Tianxian is not afraid.
The three characters of Xiaolongnu, Zhao Linger and Wang Yuyan make her a popular queen. People think she is well-behaved and quiet, but she just wants to show her different side and tell people that the role is the role, and I am me~
This is how "Palpitations" came about.
Zhang Chen also saw these comments, and he focused on different points from others.
What others are concerned about is the news itself, and what Liu Tianxian is like~
Zhang Chen sees the phenomenon reflected behind the news.
In his opinion, this Golden Eagle Festival was very failed.
Almost all the limelight was snatched by Liu Tianxian.
Everyone only remembers "Heart Palpitations" and the Golden Eagle Goddess in full costume.
Who remembers who the Queen of the Video Games was?
Who remembers the best video?
If Jiang Qinqin and Chen Jianbin hadn't revealed their love history, they would have been forgotten by people.
...
Back to the company, I saw a bunch of familiar faces: Lu Yang, Zhang Jin, Rui'an...
"Senior Brother~"
"Is "The Lone Agent" finished filming?"
"Finished~"
"How do you feel?"
"It's pretty good, but the pressure is a bit too high~"
Puff~
Zhang Jin next to him couldn't hold back his laughter.
Zhang Chen asked with a smile: "What? It seems that the pressure is not ordinary?"
Lu Yang scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard this: "It's nothing, it's just that during the filming process, fans of "Hurricane" have always sent things to the crew, sometimes snacks, sometimes small gifts, and sometimes blades~"
"Blade?"
"Yes."
"Is it okay?"
"It's okay, it's a prank."
"
Zhang Chen nodded: "This is possible. Those who like "Hurricane Rescue" are usually violent..."
Lu Yang nodded with a wry smile: "These guys are staring at my shooting progress every day, urging me to release it soon~"
Zhang Jin also added next to him: "Since the start of the filming, mysterious people often appear around the crew. Later, when asked, they were all fans of "Hurricane".
These people came to the scene and did not hinder the shooting. They just posted the shooting progress regularly to the "Hurricane Rescue" post bar, as if they were live broadcast~"
Zhang Chen also knew about this situation for the first time, and couldn't help laughing out loud. He could imagine the pressure Lu Yang was under.
"What then?"
"Then they thought I was filming too slowly. At night, they would criticize me online, and they still had time to go online? Why don't you hurry up and go to film~
The film was finished today, and some people asked me if it can be released this year?"
"How is it possible?"
Zhang Chen subconsciously looked at the calendar: "It's November now, and it's too late to do post-production, review, schedule, and publicity..."
"Well, I replied to them the same way, and then they asked me when the exact time will be released. I said I had to ask the company before I knew it."
At this point, Zhang Chen finally knew what this guy meant to wait here pitifully, and his feelings were waiting for him to schedule.
"Let me take a look at the full version first. It will be released in February at the earliest, but I think it is best to be the May Day holiday."
As he was talking, Yu Guang noticed that something different appeared in the room, it was a little girl.
Zhang Chen looked over and saw the little girl carved her in pink.
Before, the little girl had been sitting quietly on the sofa, too small to notice.
"This?"
"Oh, her name is Song Zuer, she is a young actor in "The Lonely Agent". The actor of Zheng Xiaomi, called Brother~"
Song Zuer was obedient and called 'Brother'~
"Not bad~"
Song Zuer called out 'Brother'~
"Not bad~"
Zhang Chen explained more: "The little actor was chosen well. Such a cute little girl. If it were me, I would be willing to go to the Dragon Pond alone~"
In the play "The Lonely Agent", the only two important actors are the male lead and Zheng Xiaomi.
The main man is not handsome, so there is no highlight. If Zheng Xiaomi is not cute, the logic of the plot will not be true.
It seems that Lu Yang is well aware of it.
"But why is he in the company? Is his family not here?"
"Oh, her sister will pick her up later. Her sister is also from our circle. She is called Shu Chang. The one who played Tianshan Tonglao in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". She brought Song Zuer to the audition~"
Oh, Zhang Chen remembered that the two seem to have a deep sisterhood now. I hope this Tianshan Tonglao will not regret it in the future.
The three movies of Jiahe, "Extreme Career", were completed at the earliest and are scheduled to be released in November.
"The Lonely Agent" has also been completed, and Zhang Chen is scheduled for May.
"Ip Man" is still being filmed. If Ye Weixin knew that he was the slowest in the three movies, he would probably be under a lot of pressure.
"Listen to the sound, why does it seem like Lu Yang?"
Outside the door, before the person arrived, the voice arrived first, it was Ning Hao, and Dong Jianqiang was also accompanied by Dong Jianqiang.
The two of them entered the door and saw that it was Lu Yang and others. They hugged happily: "It's finished?"
"It's finished!"
Dong Jianqiang went straight to Zhang Chen after entering the door: "I was about to find you, but I received two premiere invitations, one of which is from "Miami Storm", starring Gong Li, and the publisher is China Film.
The other one is from "Mo Gong". Huayi invited a lot of celebrities to attend, and you are also among the invitations. Should you attend? "Zhang Chen waved his hand tiredly: "Forget it, I won't go. Whoever you likes to go~"
He is really tired of attending the Golden Eagle Festival these two days.
If you want to say that this film and television person has a lot of messy things in addition to serious business a year.
Today's premiere, tomorrow's premiere, there are also fixed Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Huading, Feitian, Golden Eagle, Magnolia...
From time to time, I will have another official seminar, and occasionally I will receive commercial performances.
After deleting this mess, there is not much time spent in a year on serious work.
"Miami Storm", a foreign film, he and Gong Li have no relationship, so it doesn't matter whether they go or not.
It is said that Gong Li contributed a half-point passionate scene in this drama, but when she entered the country, they were all cut off by big scissors.
No wonder the box office is not good!
As for "Mo Gong", he would not go even more. What's the best thing he has to go to in Huayi's drama?
"Okay, if you don't go, then we won't go. Last time you went to "Baby Plan", I thought you were interested in repairing your relationship with Huayi..."
"I took the initiative to repair your relationship with them? You're thinking too much.

The status of the Wang brothers is not enough to make Zhang Chen take the initiative to bow his head. It is possible if it was Han Sanping.
At this time, the trailer of "The Ink" happened to be played on the TV on the wall. King Liu, dressed in black, appeared outside the city and walked slowly. Opposite him was the heavily guarded city.
The soldiers on the city were also black-clad and black-armored, with a fierce look on their faces. "Just watching the trailer, it seems to be OK~" Ning Hao murmured in a low voice, but everyone at the scene heard it.
Lu Yang immediately retorted: "But there are too many costume blockbusters. I've been watching it for the past two years~"
The costume blockbusters in the past two years have indeed appeared in large numbers, especially the three-match of "The Ten-Side Ambush", "The Infinite" and "Night Banquet", which completely wiped out people's expectations for costume blockbusters.
Zhang Chen had no deep impression of "Mo Gong", he only remembered that it was a story about the Mohist school.
In Zhang Chen's opinion, the topic selection of this movie is very problematic.
No many people know what the Mohist family does.
The few who know the Mohist school also because of "The Legend of Qin".
This subject is too niche.
And he remembers that the movie was made in a normal way, with no big drawbacks, but no highlights.
It is the kind that you can't remember even after reading it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have no impression.
Moreover, the luck of "Mo Gong" is really not very good, so I chose the schedule in November.
The original idea of the producer might be to rush to get a wave of traffic before the New Year holiday, but he didn't expect that too many things would happen in November, which dispersed its popularity.
How many things happened in November:
The popularity of "Racing" and "Baby Plan" is still there~
The official praises the 400 million box office of the National Day holiday~
There are also the Hundred Flowers Awards and the Golden Eagle TV Festival, which were held on the same day, stealing the limelight.
In the two days of the award ceremony, the news of "Zhang Guoli won the Best Video Award at the Golden Eagle Festival today, and will go to the Hundred Flowers Awards to be the host tomorrow" is more popular than "Mo Gong"~
In addition, there is also star Liu Huohua and his girlfriend Xie Na. The two met in a short time. They fell in love for 5 years and were once considered to be the only step away from getting married, but they could not escape the breakup~
If it were just these, it would be fine, but several blockbusters also had actions.
Chen Kexin revealed to the public that she was preparing to invite Jing Tian to play the heroine in "The Legend of the Confession"~
During this period, Wu Kebo, who was silent during the Orange Sky, suddenly announced that the project of "Red Cliff" has been launched, and most of the actors have been selected and will be launched soon.
Zhang Chen was not here for those two days, and Dong Jianqiang specially found someone to investigate, it was not fake news.
Wu Kebo seemed to have attracted investment from South Korea and Japan, and these two places like the Three Kingdoms culture very much.
In addition, I brought some from Hong Kong Island and Wanwan, and finally collected the production costs and was confident that I had to do a big fight.
At the same time, the media revealed that Ang Lee's new film "Lust Caution" suddenly started filming secretly.
Even though he was choosing the heroine some time ago, he suddenly decided to be a newcomer named Tang Wei.
Zhang Chen felt that there was an unlucky guy named Tian Yu who might be in love.
In addition, there is another news that some media took photos of Lu Chuan and the famous French director Luc Besson. It is said that the two intend to collaborate on a movie.
After "Looking for Guns" and "Kokexili", this guy finally wants to make a new movie. Could it be "Nanjing Nanjing"?
…
The next day, Zhang Chen boarded the plane to Hengdian.
Guo Fan informed him that the three-seater mecha cockpit of "Pacific Rim" had been completed and wanted him to come and take a look.
When the shooting was simulated, the crew discovered a problem. The actors could not perform the heaviness of the actors when they were posing in the mecha.
So simply, he asked the physics special effects team to create a real cockpit.
The entire cockpit is a huge hydraulic system with huge connecting rods connecting the actor's hands and legs.
The cockpit is full of cyberpunk feeling, filled with all kinds of machinery and pipes.
After the driver's exoskeleton is connected to the cockpit, every action he moves is equivalent to doing work on the hydraulic system where the cockpit is located.
Zhang Chen tried it, took two steps casually, and made a few moves. He felt right, but he was a little tired.
"Can this be easier?"
Zhang Chen asked the designer, and the designer nodded: "In order to make the effect more realistic, we deliberately controlled the power conversion ratio to 50%. This is what you are now.
It would be fine if you continue to increase, but it can only reach 20%, which means that the hydraulic device can use 20% of the real power to pick up objects of the same weight..."
Zhang Chen asked them to adjust the threshold to 20%, which seemed a bit too relaxed. Finally, he tried it and determined that 30% was the ideal value.
In this state, the actor's movements can be coherent, and at the same time it can show that heaviness.
"OK, it's 30%, Guo Fan, remember this value, it will be it in the future~"
Zhang Chen came out of the cockpit and was sweating profusely.
But he knew at least one thing that the actors they were going to recruit must be strong enough, otherwise they would be exhausted if they couldn't take a few shots.
"Guo Fan, prepare for the other party to release the news. "Pacific Rim" officially starts audition for other roles except the heroine. Note the requirements. The shooting time is four months. The first month will be conducted with a large amount of physical training~"
There is no way, this is necessary for acting.
Just like some martial arts films, actors have to receive martial arts training one month in advance, all for the purpose of shooting smoothly after the filming is turned on.
It can be imagined that even after training, you will definitely be very tired when you really shoot.
Wearing such a heavy set of exoskeletons and hydraulic devices, you can sweat if you do anything.
This is inevitable.
It's like the later filming of "The Wandering Earth", where everyone was wearing heavy space suits, and they couldn't take off their clothes casually even when they were resting, and could only stand.
Later, a special rest method was invented, and they were hung with a crane to sit on the gantry, which was somewhat of a rest.
In the past two days, Zhang Chen has lived in Hengdian. Because the news has been released, "Pacific Rim" has begun to recruit other actors other than the heroine.
The entertainment industry exploded all of a sudden.
"Pacific Rim" is the largest film and television project in China so far, with a cost of 800 million yuan.
When the project was announced before, each company was trying every means to inquire, but there was nothing but a concept picture. It only knew that the heroine had decided Fan Binbin.
At that time, many domestic female celebrities became Fan Xiaopang's villains, and they used needles and shoehorns every night.
It will not help~
If you don’t want to admit it, you have to admit it. There are many ‘Chen Girl’, but the top resources are basically all in Fan Binbin.
Some people want to settle for the second best, but "Pacific Rim" doesn't accept the challenge at all. No matter who asks, they are still in preparation and the candidates for actors will be arranged separately.
Now, news finally came out that we were about to start selecting actors.
This night, I don’t know how many people are suffering from insomnia.
Many celebrities are trying hard, either looking for relationships by themselves, or asking their agents to rely on relationships, in order to win a role in "Pacific Rim", even if it is a small supporting role.
Zhang Chen also means this.
As such awesome projects as labor and capital, of course, you cannot use amateurs.
It is best to have any small supporting role as in "The Founding of a Country".
But don't worry, the pay will never be as normal.
It would be great if you can participate in such a large project. Do you still dare to withdraw money from me?
Of course, Zhang Chen won’t say this, he will let the stars raise it themselves.
But even so, he underestimated the appeal of this matter to the stars.
Not only supporting roles, even the prospects can be stolen.
Then, Zhang Chen's phone was blown up.
The boss, Brother Cheng Long, Master Huang, and Zhang Guoli all recommended candidates to him.
The boss recommended Xie Tingfeng, and Master Huang recommended himself and his girlfriend Qin Lan.
In addition, Jing Tian, Yang Xiaomi, and Li Binbin also show their abilities~
Either find a relationship or recommend yourself.
Everything is very beautiful: if you don’t pick a role, you can give it to it, even a supporting role, just want to participate~
But how can you really give a supporting role, at least you have to show your face.
Directly arrange to be a brother, a pair of students from the mecha driving school.
They look a bit similar. There is another joke on Zhihu about this:
You can't tell jokes, forget it~
