Chapter 233 Rejection
Cao Yang asked someone to call Huang Xiaoming, wanting to see his current image and whether he can play the director of the stage play in "Black Swan".
It's not considered an audition, it's not that formal, it's just in Cao Yang's office at Beijing Electric.
As soon as we met, Huang Xiaoming started to pretend that he didn't know what was going on, and even recommended himself to Cao Yang to play the role of "Black Swan".
And he talked endlessly about twenty minutes about his own understanding of ballet.
Cao Yang felt a little worried about laughing when he heard this.
Huang Xiaoming's so-called understanding of ballet is the origin of ballet, the current situation of foreign ballet stage plays, the current situation of domestic ballet stage plays, etc.
It is very general and comprehensive.
No matter whether these things are related to Cao Yang's script or not, they can at least leave a good impression on people.
People with a heart.
Even if he can get some information in advance, he collects relevant information and remembers these things while filming. It is really not easy to talk about it for more than twenty minutes. "Xiao Ming, there is indeed a character in "Black Swan" that has not been decided yet, and it has a lot of scenes, but your face feels a little tender..."
The face is tender?
Wang Xiaoming felt a "knock" after hearing this, which means that the movie needs a mature actor?
His brain is running rapidly, and I am tender. Do you just need to look more mature?
How can you look mature?
He suddenly thought that when he was filming the later plot of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", that is, the plot more than ten years later, in order to be more in line with the plot, his wig turned gray and he even had a beard. "Director Cao, I will leave my beard and dye my hair white. I will be twenty years older. What do you think?" Huang Xiaoming quickly explained: "The "The Return of the Condor Heroes" I filmed now also has a plot of Yang Guo more than ten years later. This is how it is handled." Cao Yang looked at Huang Xiaoming again. This guy came here today and cleanly cleanly. His beard on his face was shaved and looked younger.
"You do this, go find a makeup artist and make a beard under the temples. It doesn't need to be too long. Just be able to see the stubble, and then I'll see how it is." Cao Yang then thought for a while and added, "Let's do this, go find Ning Hao and ask him to take you to Qing Film Studio to find a makeup artist." "Okay, thank you Director Cao." Cao Yang mainly remembered that the young officer Huang Xiaoming played in "The Sound of the Wind" also had a beard. He looked very tough and did not look young, and his shape was pretty good.
That little day officer was also a pervert, and that was one of Huang Xiaoming's acting skills.
In the next few days, all the supporting roles were decided one after another, and all the actors in "Black Swan" were included.
Because many small supporting actors here need to show ballet, Cao Yang simply went to Beidian and talked to the leaders of Beidian. He used a large number of Beidian students and used some scenes to shoot.
At this time before the filming of the movie, Cao Yang began to gather actors, especially for several actors with dance requirements, and asked them to practice six hours of ballet and two hours of opera talk every day.
Ballet practice is actually not difficult for several actors. Whether it is Dong Xuan, Lu Yi, or other actors such as Chen Shu, they all learn to dance, and some are professional ballet dancers.
The only problem with this is that when Cao Yang talked to them, they understood it a little slowly.
But this is really not a big problem.
Now, as long as Cao Yang doesn't encounter three or five of them, he can't even splash a little, and he won't be afraid of anything else.
Because you have confidence!
Call out the system.
Host: Cao Yang
Current reputation: 4068865
Available reputation: 2368865
Entertainment experience: +0
Film movie: "Black Swan"
Dynamic protagonists: Dong Xuan, Lu Yi
Actor: Huang Xiaoming
Supervised actresses: Pan Hong, Chen Shu
...
More than 2.3 million can be used for reputation!
Converted to it, it was just 23 times to get into the play.
I can't use it, I can't use it at all!
The big contribution of this is definitely "The Ninth District", two Golden Globe Awards, three Oscars, and a global box office of $468 million.
It is estimated that the domestic box office record has also increased a lot of reputation.
The Nine-Tailed Fox also has two Venice awards, and combined with box office and copyright revenue, it also contributes a lot of reputation.
In addition, Cao Yang found that the system actually identified Huang Xiaoming as the male lead, probably because he had the most role in the male actor in the whole movie.
In fact, it's not bad to say that. This movie is another typical female movie, with scenes mainly focused on the heroine. The director of the stage play in the movie is indeed considered the hero.
Although Cao Yang only spent two hours a day talking to actors during this period, he was actually quite busy.
He needs to make a decision on the selection of the filming location, the construction of the scenes, and how many CGs should be finalized.
The Black Swan is a little easier.
In comparison, this kind of literary and artistic film has few scenes, low filming location requirements, and no staff need much.
There is also a point where CG modeling is needed, which is the part when the heroine grows the wings of a black swan on her body.
But this is much simpler and doesn't take much time.
Cao Yang has specially marked the shots that need to be shot in front, and sent them to do CG after shooting, so as not to delay the time to participate in the Venice Film Festival.
In mid-April, Cao Yang was called by Hou Keming.
"How is your preparation for "Black Swan"?"
Hou Keming was extremely enthusiastic this time. Unlike before, he "pressed" Cao Yang on the sofa, brewed a pot of good tea himself, and brought tea to Cao Yang himself.
Cao Yang looked at Lao Hou who was attentive and dedicated, and his first thought was that he had finished drinking the wine he gave him?
No, based on Lao Hou's current status, there should be a way to get some special bars from the manufacturer.
"The preparations for "Black Swan" went very smoothly. I'm going to talk to the actors for a few more days, so I'll let them concentrate on practicing ballet and start the film at the end of the month."
After saying that, I watched Lao Hou for a while, and then smiled and joked, "Hou Yuan, is that wine okay?"
"Ha..."
Old Hou laughed, and then he might feel that this was a little inconsistent with his identity, so he restrained himself and said seriously: "It tastes really good."
"You came to me, isn't it for that bar?"
Cao Yang asked with a smile.
"Why, what do you mean? Am I so a person who is so public and private?"
Old Hou glared, then smiled again, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"This time is a good thing."
He walked over, sat next to Cao Yang, and said mysteriously: "Isn't there still more than three years left in the 2008 Beijing Olympics? The Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee made a resolution and began to look for directors of the opening and closing ceremony."
After saying that, he looked at Cao Yang like this, as if he was looking at what Cao Yang reacted.
"If you look for a director, just look for a director. What do you think of me?"
Cao Yang took a sip of tea, and the surface was calm.
It's just superficial.
He was actually still ready to move in his heart. Why is Lao Mouzi called the national teacher?
It’s not because it is the director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics.
Hou Keming didn't believe that Cao Yang was not moved. He curled his lips in his heart, pretending, and pretending, at a young age, how could he pretend to be mature?
"Do you want to be the director?"
After saying this, Hou Keming continued to whisper: "This is not what I want to ask, it was asked by some leaders of the organizing committee.
They originally wanted to call you over and talk to you in person, but they might have some concerns, so they called me over and let me convey it."
Don't you need to run for election?
Cao Yang remembers that the Olympic director was selected through several rounds of competition. "What does it mean?" Cao Yang was a little confused and couldn't help asking.
"If you want to be the director, you will make a plan to send it during this period, and they will review it."
The latest ⊥Xiao⊥Xiao⊥9⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
After Hou Keming finished speaking, he shook his head first. "What's more, I don't know the inside story. I only know that someone has called your name. I'll ask if you're willing to be the director. If you don't want to, they may bid for another bid."
The director!
It is definitely false to say that you are not moved.
Cao Yang thought.
The advantages are obvious. Not to mention the others, if I direct and succeed, I will definitely be called the "national teacher".
However, the title of "national teacher" does not have much bonus to you. With your current status and influence, it doesn't matter whether you have this title or not.
The most important difference is that it is on the upper floor.
But think about it carefully, even in the upper class, is there any title of Olympic director, and is it really a big impact?
A person who is less than 30 years old has won so many awards, including the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. He often scored 30 points in the news, is he afraid that he will not have influence in the upper class?
As long as you don’t commit suicide, no one at the domestic official level will target you.
Conversely, if you direct the Olympics, the pressure you are experiencing can be imagined.
According to accident, you may be scolded for countless years.
Directoring a movie, he also has "Golden Finger" available, but he doesn't have it in directing the Olympics.
In addition, can I really be better than the directors of Lao Touzi?
Cao Yang is doubtful about this.
Especially after experiencing the opening and closing ceremonies of the London Olympics, Rio de Janeiro Olympics, Tokyo Olympics and Paris Olympics, the more valuable the opening and closing ceremonies directed by Lao Mouzi.
In fact, to be honest, Cao Yang does not need the Olympic director status to increase his influence now.
Cao Yang took a deep breath and said to Hou Keming: "Hou Yuan, you know that I have two projects now, especially "Inception", which has an investment budget of 1.5 billion yuan. I really can't distract myself."
"You..."
Old Hou frowned and whispered: "Cao Yang, you are still young and don't understand. The Olympic director may be famous in history and can also increase your own influence." "Hou Yuan, how much influence do you think the Olympic director can increase my influence?" Hou Keming thought about it. Cao Yang's current influence is unique in China, and there is no need for an Olympic director to add it.
"But the Olympic director may keep your name in history."
Even if my current achievements are, future generations will not be able to avoid such things as "a century of film history" in the future, right?
"If I can get the Berlin Golden Bear again, I will be named after it."
Hou Keming looked at Cao Yang with a complicated expression. Cao Yang is now missing a Berlin Golden Bear, and it will be named after it. If I can get it, I will be named after it.
But if Cao Yang can become the chief director of the Olympics, he will have a great achievement from the sky!
Forget it, in fact, at my age, it is difficult to get a step forward. I should just hug Cao Yang's "thigh" and take it slowly.
I hope he can get the Berlin Golden Bear before he retires.
Hou Keming also knew the virtues of those Europeans.
Although Beijing Film Academy has a wide network of contacts and Cao Yang himself has many relationships, they really don’t want to see a Chinese win a Grand Slam.
Unless Cao Yang becomes a German citizen, he may be able to win a Grand Slam next year...
Hou Keming thought for a while before saying, "Has he decided?"
"Hou Yuan, to be honest, I am too young and I am really not sure to do it well. This is a national event. If I mess up a little, it will embarrass the country and the nation."
"Okay, since you have made a decision, I support your decision." After Hou Keming finished speaking, he was thinking in his heart how he should tell the above more "rounded" and let the above know about Cao Yang's "good intention".
Cao Yang is the signature of Beijing Electric Power, and he must protect everything about him.
The two chatted about the movie for a while. When Cao Yang stood up and wanted to leave, Hou Keming shouted and waited, then walked to Cao Yang and asked in a low voice in a slight manner: "That wine last time..."
"It's really gone. You know that thing is not circulating. I just made a few bottles by chance. I thought it... it tasted good, so I gave you a try."
Cao Yang said seriously.
"It's really gone?"
Hou Keming didn't believe it. "It's really gone."
In the end, Cao Yang had no choice but to promise to give Lao Hou another bottle, and Lao Hou did not continue to "make trouble".
In fact, Cao Yang also understood that Lao Hou wanted to use this kind of pull to dispel his concerns, for fear that he would think that today's matter would create a barrier for him.
Before "Black Swan" started filming, Cao Yang wanted to decide on the female role in "Inception".
The three international actresses who are close to him in China do not need to be praised for the time being. They all have their own careers and have a stable position in the circle.
If you want to say that the best development is Gao Yuanyuan, who came from behind, one is that the Cannes Best Actress Award is rare, and the other is that she is very popular among advertisers, and her endorsement fee is unique in China.
Dong Xuan has already started holding it.
There is another one, but it makes Cao Yang feel a little emotionally complicated.
The one who really listened to his words and no longer participated in any social engagements of Huayi, but because of this, he had been treated by Huayi Leng.
Cao Yang understood that she was just gambling.
This person is also interesting. He almost never receives any resources and does not call himself.
It is definitely impossible to say how strong she has feelings for herself.
She just bet on her future.
"Since you have done what I asked, I will give you a chance to become famous."
