Chapter 200 Industry Benchmark But Idol Drama
In fact, Liu Qianqian has been feeling a sense of urgency in her heart for the past six months, and she feels that the gap between the two is gradually widening.
Although the relationship seems to be getting closer recently, there was even some silent understanding when we were on the set of "Chu Liuxiang" a while ago.
But if you want the other party to confess, it seems to be a long way off.
Liu Qianqian was absentmindedly stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon. When she looked outside casually, the portrait of Gong Li on the poster on the exterior wall suddenly came into view.
She asked thoughtfully, "Xiao Feng, do you think I have the chance to become a good actor with high acting skills like Gong Li?"
This time it is no longer unrealistic. "Audrey Hepburn", but a more realistic goal.
Among the female stars, Gong Li should be at the top of the list of Chinese actors.
“It’s difficult, but it’s not impossible.”
“I’m not afraid of it, so what should I do to become great?”
Chen Linfeng tried to take a sip of coffee, but still couldn't get used to the taste, so he put the cup down.
“In my opinion, you have to first wash away the impression of yourself in the audience’s mind.
The Little Dragon Girl you starred in was too successful. Now in the eyes of the public, it feels natural , you have the image of a cold fairy.
Although you are a willful rich lady in the Jinfen Family, and you are even a little naive and lively in the Fairy Sword.
But in the eyes of the audience, you are now. It is the division between humans and immortals.”
"Do I look like a human being now?" Liu Qianqian was happy.
Chen Linfeng looked at the other party, his eyes full of pity, "You are so naive. From the audience, you are now seven parts immortal and three parts human. You just need to take one more breath of fairy air to become an immortal."
Liu Qianqian puffed up her face. This is indeed what you should do next."
He picked up the white porcelain coffee cup in front of him, pointed at it and said, "You are like this cup now, as smooth as jade, and others will feel like this cup when they look at it. It's for drinking coffee.
It's a trait given by your looks that's hard to change.
Then you have to find a way to pour wine and cola into it, and let people see it, so that others can know that it can not only be used for drinking coffee, but also for drinking alcohol and beverages. "
Liu Qianqian thought thoughtfully, "So what you are saying is that I should try to play other types of roles? "
"Yes, and the more distinctive the better, the more classic the character is and the more deeply rooted it is in people's hearts, the better.
When the audience can accept you playing different roles and think you can control these roles, they will begin to appreciate your acting skills and you will have room to perform.
Otherwise, when they see you playing other roles, such as lively, funny, or even harsh, they will immediately feel that it is inconsistent and feel that this is not a role that a fairy should be able to play. "
Liu Qianqian frowned, "Isn't it contradictory for you to do this? If the audience doesn't accept me playing a new role, how can I make the audience accept my changes by playing a new role? "
Chen Linfeng said with a straight face, "So the next few dramas you act in are very important. The scripts and productions must be excellent enough to allow the audience to temporarily put aside the sense of disobedience and immerse themselves in the plot, and then gradually Accept your new position. "
Liu Qianqian was speechless, "That's too difficult. Good dramas don't come every year, and even if they do, they may not be available to me. "
Chen Linfeng clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't it? I happen to have such a drama on my hands. ”
He took a stack of scripts out of his bag and placed them on the table.
"I think the heroine here is very suitable for you."
"Okay," Liu Qianqian showed a dumbfounded expression, "You have told me so much, are you just for this? Let me act in your play."
"Do you think I am such a person?"
"I think you are!" Even so, Liu Qianqian still handed over the script. ,
She pointed at Chen Linfeng with her index finger, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say I would accept it, I just wanted to read the story you wrote."
Liu Qianqian looked disgusted on her face, but she was very excited in her heart. All the worries were gone.
You who come from the stars, this name is so strange.
She opened the script and read it slowly.
However, after watching it for a while, I realized something was wrong. It seemed like an idol drama.
The previous one has just been filmed as a historical drama, and the next one has been transformed into an idol drama. What a huge span.
But the character of this heroine is really special, completely different from the roles she has played before.
Liu Qianqian slowly immersed herself in the story.
At this time, the surrounding sounds suddenly became noisy. She looked up and found that it was already noon and the coffee shop was gradually getting more crowded.
Those people looked at her side and kept whispering, which eventually turned into a loud noise.
Seeing her pause, Chen Linfeng asked, "What do you think of this story?"
"It's nice." Liu Qianqian said unconsciously.
She quickly reacted, "I mean it's not bad. I will tell my mother later."
Chen Linfeng knew that the other party agreed.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost time.
"I'm going to meet some of our senior brothers and sisters next, who are all important behind the scenes of the future crew. Do you want to come and have a look?"
Liu Qianqian nodded, "I want to go."
The two moved to a nearby restaurant with good packaging.
Entering the private room, everyone else has already arrived.
Wang Rui is confused, today is a meeting to organize the bureau, why did this guy bring Liu Qianqian here too? Do these two people really have something inside?
He temporarily suppressed his thoughts and introduced both parties.
"These two are Teacher Zhao Fei and Teacher Li Jinhui, they are the handheld camera and the art director respectively. I was originally going to find another photography director, but I know that after you invited me to take the photography, there is no need to think about it. "
Chen Linfeng quickly shook his hand and said, "I have admired the names of these two teachers for a long time." This is true. Zhao Fei was the photographer of "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin". He knows that he will also shoot "Let the Bullets Fly" and is definitely the top photographer in the industry.
Now he is a professor in the Department of Photography, supervising master students.
Li Jinhui is an associate professor in the Department of Fine Arts, and has worked on works such as "Big Bowl", "Peacock" and "A World Without Thieves".
Through these two people, I got in touch with several great directors such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen. Their status in the industry is indeed not low.
While shaking hands, Zhao Fei did not forget to joke, "You, the one who won the Oscar, are the ones we have admired for a long time. In school, I always heard that you were taking classes in other series. Why don't you come to me? Let’s take a look at the class.”
“That’s a graduate class, I’m embarrassed to go there.”
“Are you still embarrassed?” Li Jinhui asked, he was meeting in class. Been to Chen Linfeng's.
After meeting these people, Wang Rui introduced to two teachers some outstanding graduates from the past who were also going to join the group.
“This is Cao Yu, who works as a photographer. The year before last, "Kekexili" won the Golden Horse Award for Best Cinematography; Hao Yi, who works as a stylist. He has already served as an art designer for feature films in 2003; Cheng Er, Served as executive director."
The names of these people were all heard by Chen Linfeng in his previous life. Although he couldn't remember what they had done specifically, one thing was certain. Whenever he heard the names, they must have been there. Those who will become famous in later generations.
In fact, their development is not bad now, and their future rise is foreseeable.
The most obvious one is Cao Yu, a contestant who has already won the Golden Horse Award for Photography, who was specially recruited by Chen Linfeng.
Lu Chuan probably won't mind.
Right?
After everyone got to know each other, Chen Linfeng mentioned Liu Qianqian.
"This is the heroine of our new drama. I just finished her job."
Liu Qianqian sat firmly and did not say that she was not sure about the role yet.
Give Xiaofeng some face.
Others were overjoyed, Chen Linfeng as the male lead and Liu Qianqian as the female lead, this kind of drama is inherently invincible.
As filmmakers, they parachute into the TV series crew, and they have to make some big splash, otherwise they will be in trouble.
As a writer and director, Cheng Er was more concerned about the script and asked, "Director Xiao Chen, what is the content of the drama we are going to film next?"
Chen Linfeng took out a stack of paper from his bag and distributed it to everyone.
There is a story outline and a simple project plan on it.
Wang Rui also took it over curiously.
The story is not complicated. An alien who has lived on earth for hundreds of years meets a famous female protagonist who moves next door. The two go from hating each other to falling in love with each other.
Idol drama?
Wang Rui’s eyebrows knitted together. He won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Is the first TV series he filmed an idol drama?
Thinking back to two days ago, Xiao Chen said that he wanted movies as his graduation project, and he suddenly understood that the school might not necessarily be satisfied with this type of drama.
But when he read the project plan at the back, he was surprised.
The production cost of a TV series of about 30 episodes is estimated to be 50 million, of which the actors’ remuneration accounts for about 20%, leaving the remaining 40 million in production expenses.
He understood a little bit. Xiao Chen has great ambitions. He wants to set a benchmark in the industry.
Everyone else also understands the hidden meaning behind this project plan.
This makes sense. If it was just an ordinary idol drama, then they would definitely not be willing to do it.
I can’t afford to lose that person.
But if it is such a large-scale production, and the script is written by the best screenwriter in Hollywood, and the most popular pair of actors among young people today, this project is not shabby at all.
Zhao Fei put down the file, was silent for a moment, and said, "When will the filming start? I will plan the time."
"It will start in about June. It is still in the early preparations. The specific time will be announced soon. The film crew has prepared a schedule and I will send it to you as soon as possible.”
"That's it."
Wang Rui started to ask the waiter to serve the meal.
After the dinner, Liu Qianqian said with a pout, "I am determined to play your heroine. Didn't I already say that I would go back and discuss it with my mother."
"Okay. , then you go back and ask Aunt Liu, I'll wait for your news."
"That's pretty much it." Liu Qianqian was satisfied.
Although she also knew that she was being harsh, a girl still needs to be reserved. How could I agree to it as soon as you came up with the script?
She shook the script in her hand, "I'm going to take it back and read it. I just read half of it and haven't finished it yet."
"Okay, remember to keep it secret and don't leak it out."
“Well, I know.”
……
After returning home, Liu Qianqian immediately told her mother the news.
Liu Xiaoli said in surprise, "Xiao Chen is not doing his job properly by filming an idol drama, isn't it? And don't you want to be a good actor? Acting in an idol drama is a bit..."
She has some I'm worried, my daughter just acted in a historical drama, and her reputation is so good, so don't let her get pulled down because of an idol drama.
Liu Qianqian retorted, "Xiao Feng's idol drama is definitely different. The school teachers and several seniors didn't look good when they first knew it was an idol drama.
But later on After reading the project plan, they immediately agreed to join the team. They must also know that Xiaofeng’s drama is different.”
Liu Xiaoli thought about it. After all, it was Xiao Chen's script, so it wouldn't be a very vulgar story.
Besides, "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" has brought so many benefits to Sissi, even if it is out of repayment, she should continue it.
"Well, I have no objection to you taking this drama. I will contact Xiao Chen in the future."
"Thank you, mom." Liu Qianqian happily hugged Liu Xiaoli's arm and hugged her with all her strength. Shake a few times.
