Chapter three hundred and ninth lukewarm
The audition result is OK, and Shu Qi's acting skills are not as unbearable as everyone imagines.
In the entertainment industry in the mainland, there is no big deal about such actresses who make erotic films. People generally believe that movies are art and noble, while erotic films are vulgar.
The male audience's attitude is very strange. On the one hand, they are curious and want to watch similar movies, while on the other hand, they are contemptuous in their hearts.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang discussed it.
The Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses they are currently in contact with, and the pay of slightly more than 500,000 is rarely less than 500,000.
Some celebrities also have various conditions, such as staying in a star-rated hotel and having to pick up and drop off when filming.
They also have to bring their assistants to come with them. If the shooting time exceeds the schedule, they will pay extra money, and if they get sick during the shooting, they will return to Xiangjiang for treatment, etc.
In comparison, Shu Qi has a low pay, a sincere attitude, and no additional requirements.
Feng Xiaogang has always been careful in calculating and thinks it is more cost-effective to use Shu Qi. Anyway, this character has not much role, and although it is not a vase, there is not much room for play.
When they wrote this character, they considered the acting skills of Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses and did not dare to give them too many difficult challenges.
This is different from "Seeking Away", Ge You and Xu Fan are real rivalries.
Besides, even if the media knows that Shu Qi has made erotic films, it is a disguised publicity. Perhaps the audience will be attracted to the cinema by this gimmick.
Nowadays, I am not afraid of being scolded or not.
This movie called "Endless" started filming in June. Shu Qi needs to get familiar with the pace of life and language environment in Beijing as soon as possible. In the past, the pace of life in Beijing was very slow, but now it is getting faster.
Speaking of the locale environment, during the audition, Ge You's speaking speed was not fast and very stable.
This is actually the habit of speaking in Beijing people. It is neither too slow nor too slow, giving people the feeling that they are not in a hurry even if the sky falls.
Shu Qi must be able to respond with this rhythm or another tone, so that the acting will be interesting.
When watching a movie, the audience sometimes feels comfortable listening to the conversation between the two in the movie, and sometimes feels awkward. This is related to whether the actors are sure of the rhythm of the lines.
If you want to do this, Shu Qi doesn’t have to attend a Beijing dialect language training class, just chat more often.
Language habits are developed slowly during chatting. Through chatting, in order to let the other party understand what they are saying, the two people will involuntarily adjust their respective speech rhythms.
This film, Haomeng Company invested 2 million yuan, the Art Center invested 2 million yuan, and the Beijing Film Studio and Huayi Advertising Company invested 500,000 yuan respectively, with a total investment of 5 million yuan.
The actor's pay and the salaries of the behind-the-scenes staff were used up by 1 million, and Feng Xiaogang still shared the box office share.
After careful consideration, Wang Zhongjun took 500,000 yuan to test the waters and became one of the investors of "The Endless".
Small investors like this have no say in the filming process and can only get the final box office share.
It can be seen from the investment of only 500,000 yuan by Beijing Film Studio that they are not optimistic about Feng Xiaogang's new films. They think that you have used this routine of Beijing-style movies twice, and it is unlikely that the audience will buy it.
However, with Ge You participating in the performance, the box office should not be too bad, which is why they invested.
Even if you don’t make much money, you can still make money, and you can continue to maintain good relationships with Haomeng Company.
Han Sanping believes that if Haomeng Company repeats this kind of Beijing-style movie next year, Beijing Film Studio will not invest. Audiences are not fools. They always have to come out with something new and find new profitable projects.
Otherwise, the Good Dream Company would have to be a flash in the pan and the three of them eventually parted ways.
By then, he would attract Ge You and Feng Xiaogang to maximize Ge You's box office appeal.
This is also what many people in the Beijing film circle think. The practice of eating everything with one trick is not popular in the film industry.
In the past two years, Haomeng Company has been in the limelight and made money, but if you keep shooting such movies, you may lose money soon.
One is that other film and television companies will imitate and shoot such low-cost comedy films, which will also be released during the New Year holiday. Everyone will fight to the death, and the audience will get tired of watching too much.
They envy Good Dream Company for having Ge You, who is now one of the most popular male actors in China.
During the preparation stage of the movie, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was broadcast on the prime time of the eighth program of China TV Station at 8 p.m.
This channel has just been aired for a few months and is not very attractive to the audience. People are used to watching the first set of programs on China TV. Even if Director Chen is the starring director, it will not have much impact in the early stages of the broadcast.
Only entertainment media reported it symbolically, and the focus of the report was on Director Chen and Xia Yu.
This is Xia Yu's first appearance in a TV series after winning the Venetian actor, and it deserves media attention.
After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was broadcast on China TV, Beijing TV and Zhejiang Province TV stations successively broadcast it. Zhejiang TV station bought the TV series because of Yu Feihong.
The first person to become popular in this TV series is Yu Feihong, and her ancient costume looks are really amazing.
As long as you watch this drama, the audience will have an impression of her. In the past two years, there are many actresses in the costume dress, who are either beautiful or pure, and have their own characteristics.
Yu Xiulian, played by Yu Feihong, is a representative of traditional Chinese women. She has a subtle and restrained personality, which is easy for the audience to accept.
Her acting skills are also worthy of recognition. She did not lose weight in the process of acting with Director Chen, and she expressed her feelings like Yu Xiulian burying Li Mubai in her heart and wanting to speak but stopping, and restraining and forbearing.
The two's rivalry is a highlight of the show.
As for Luo Xiaohu played by Xia Yu and Yu Jiaolong played by Xu Jinglei, they can only be said to have completed their respective tasks.
Xu Jinglei is better because she is the heroine, and she has a lot of room for performance. The more she plays, the better she will play, especially the ending of her journey to the desert in the end, which left a deep impression on the audience.
In comparison, Xia Yu is not so eye-catching among the four people.
This is related to his youth, no acting experience, no emotional life experience, and not very good emotional performance.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has only fifteen episodes, and it was broadcast on China TV in less than half a month. With the successive broadcast of other local TV stations, the drama has caused quite a lot of heated discussion, especially among readers of martial arts novels.
They discussed whether the actors in the TV series matched the characters in the original work.
Yu Feihong is considered the best candidate to play Yu Xiulian.
Li Mubai, played by Director Chen, is enough, but he always feels that it is not life-like enough. Yu Jiaolong is considered qualified and not as beautiful as readers imagine. Luo Xiaohu has the weakest sense of existence.
In short, although this drama did not cause any sensation or popularity, it also had a certain impact, which can only be said to be lukewarm. (To be continued.)
