Chapter 278 We have no bottom line

After one day's filming, Shao Yingxiong was more or less transformed. Due to the hasty change, he always had to consider the details in advance before filming today. He dared to stand out after he thought carefully. Whether he dared to dare to save the director's face is not for the director's face, but for his acting skills, which was like burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and he was devout.

From the increasing details he took into account, Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington had more and more communication with him. As a result, these two men won three Oscar winners. If they wanted to get their guidance, they would definitely have to come up with something real. If they didn't like them, they would be silent. At worst, they would be said to have made a bad movie. Anyway, one or two bad movies would not ruin their reputation. Who made Hollywood have Nicholas Cage who holds the title of King of Bad Movies?

More and more contacts with these two actors, Shao Yingxiong found that the only thing that they were better than others was Kendo and the direction of consideration was also very comprehensive. Tom Hanks said that a good actor should not only think about the role in the role, but also think about his own role in the script. Only when you stand in the position of others will you know whether you see yourself is reasonable; Denzel Washington also said that the rhythm of an actor's acting is controlled by himself, but when an actor lets go of his hands, that is, when the movie appears on the big screen, this rhythm will become the control of the audience. If you cannot sit in the cinema before acting and see everything that will be performed, you will never be a good actor.

The two of them mean something similar, but this is their way of success.

In fact, an actor’s success may not be many secrets. In the eyes of truly successful people, all the shortcuts in the world are attempts to go far. Only by passing through one level after another can you understand the beauty of the rainbow and the changes in your mood. Otherwise, you will never have any insights.

They just keep the simple and easy-to-understand principles in mind and do it to the extreme, that's all. But how many people can truly do this and figure it out?

After filming this drama with many emotions, Shao Yingxiong finally had an experience. After returning to the hotel, he began to rethink, and found that he and the character were no longer integrated, but could be separated and watched. Watching the character perform according to his own thinking mode, and then judged from an objective perspective. This seems to be a new understanding, but in fact, when every actor just entered the industry and couldn't integrate with the character, aren't they acting from this perspective? At that time, if someone told them this set of principles, they would definitely not believe it, and maybe they thought you were ridiculing him and enjoying him.

The night passed like this. When Shao Yingxiong got up the next morning, he suddenly remembered the interview scene performed by Tom Hanks. In that scene, Tom Hanks did not cry. He might have made a decision after considering it from other perspectives. The essence of this, if there had not been ten years of wasted time, Shao Yingxiong would be sure that he would not be able to appreciate the taste.

"Shao."

When they arrived on the set, Tom Hanks took the initiative to say hello to Shao Yingxiong and sat with him before filming: "Tell me about Hollywood actors in the Chinese market, okay?"

Shao Yingxiong looked at Tom Hanks and asked in a difficult understanding: "Are you?"

"You may also know that there are more and more Chinese people in Hollywood's TV series and movies recently. Of course, you also know the habits of these people. When we have an entanglement with those countries, people in this country will become villains in the movie..." Tom Hanks smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But I think things are not that simple now. Now the box office market in China is getting better and better. Hollywood movies want to be introduced into the market by China in the mode of introducing films. For this reason, they will not hesitate to set the movie scene in a certain city in China, or simply invite Chinese actors to join. This is no longer just a signal."

He turned his head to look at Shao Yingxiong and said, "I am not a businessman, but I have to care about the box office results of my movies. "Avatar" has created nearly 200 million US dollars in China. If this money is counted as the total box office of an ordinary Hollywood movie, it can immediately raise one movie to another level, even if the movie has not won any results in the North American market."

Tom Hanks spoke calmly, although he was talking about one of the two things that an actor cares most.

"I understand, do you mean to know what Chinese audiences like, such as which performance style they like, which role type, or, they will be satisfied with those performances and disgusted with those performances, after all, this is crucial to the box office."

Shao Yingxiong can be sure that Tom Hanks will not care whether the number of films introduced in China will increase, but an actor does not care about the total box office results of his own movies.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want to say."

Shao Yingxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, you are a bit underestimating the acceptance ability of Chinese audiences. Really. Do you believe that the TV series "Breaking Bad" has been thoroughly analyzed by Chinese audiences to the point where even the original screenwriter and the original director could not have imagined; "Spartacus" has not been demonized, and historical allusions outside of bloody and large-scale shots and the reasons why Spartacus failed in the uprising have been analyzed. Through these two TV series, it can be judged that Chinese audiences are addicted to good stories. If it is an adapted script, Chinese audiences will also be interested in the original work, so you don't have to worry about our acceptance range at all. As long as it is a good thing, we can accept it."

"We have no bottom line." Shao Yingxiong also said jokingly.

"Then why are many Hollywood movies unable to enter China?" Tom Hanks said very depressedly: "The same movie can be released in Hong Kong, Baodao... I can't figure it out."

What can Shao Yingxiong say? Tell the truth. What if Tom Hanks said to reporters during an interview one day: "My friend Shao told me about the Chinese market..." Then he would not let the third master stew it when he went back?

"There are many things that have a process, right? Didn't the Civil War not come into place in one step back then? Maybe it's a bit inappropriate for me to give an example, but I think the nature of the two things is the same." Shao Yingxiong's words meant he didn't say it. It's not that he didn't want to say it, he really didn't dare to say it.

Tom Hanks saw Shao Yingxiong's embarrassment and did not continue to ask.

Shao Yingxiong changed the topic and said, "Do you know that you have been mythical about movie fans in China?"

"Is that true? I don't think so." He seemed to be intriguing again.

"Your "Philadelphia Story", "The Rest of the Desert Island", "Save Private Ryan", "Happy End", "Forrest Gump", every character makes Chinese audiences fascinated. Do you know how they evaluate the movie "Are Impossible"?"

Tom Hanks came to his heart: "Speak and listen."

"They said that this is the Oscar winner who is playing Xiao Li, oh, the meaning of this sentence is that an old man who is proficient in chess and plays chess with a chess player who has just started. He deliberately let the piece and lose the whole game of chess opponent. He was excited to think that he had won. In fact, the old man who is proficient in chess is the elder of the chess player, and making the chess player happy is just to enjoy the joy of family."

"Hahaha." Tom Hanks smiled and shook his head: "The Chinese audience is really... very interesting. They think too high about me. I know, that's not me."

Shao Yingxiong enviously said: "It's just that their love for you is like fans of any country in the world. They love you and are willing to send you into the clouds with their own hands. They would rather look at you from a distance, praise and blessing you. If they don't love you, they will drown you with spit, and there is no reason."

"Other artists can't get your treatment."

Tom Hanks said happily: "I'm going to thank them in person if I have the chance."

"What opportunity are you waiting for? After we finish filming this drama, everyone will go to China to promote it." Shao Yingxiong said firmly: "This is a movie that will definitely be released in mainland China."

"What about the North American market?" asked Tom Hanks.

Shao Yingxiong smiled at him.

Tom Hanks suddenly realized: "The United States has a perfect social system to ensure this. Your purpose in making this movie is to bring it to a country in the world that has not yet improved its social system. Shao, you are a kind person."

"I'm not." Shao Yingxiong refused: "I don't care about other countries at all. I just want to bring it back to China. I think this kind of plagiarism is necessary, and no American will object. You don't know how many parents in China cry in pain every year, 'Human traffickers should be shot'. If I hadn't decided to shoot a movie on this subject, I wouldn't have watched so many real documentaries."

"What are you talking about?" Denzel Washington rushed to the studio and got into the topic.

"After the filming of this drama, all the actors will go to China to promote it." Tom Hanks responded casually.

Denzel Washington seemed not very interested, and after a look around, he said, "Shao, your "Super Death Squad" is about to be on." Obviously, he prefers to talk about some movies.

"Success Squad"?

Shao Yingxiong almost forgot about this.

"Don't you know? The promotional poster of the world premiere on August 3 has been covered with Hollywood."
