rebirth of change

"Yes, yes, Director Chen, in terms of age, you are much younger than us, but we really dare not accept being called a teacher by you. Hehe, we are very happy to be able to cooperate with you this time It's an honor again." Xu Youfa followed up.

The reason why Chen Kangjie called them Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xu was mainly out of the habit of Chinese people.Just like people in many places are used to calling some middle-aged men "masters", he didn't expect the two old actors to be so serious.Of course, it cannot be said that Chen Kangjie's address is perfunctory. Respecting teachers and teaching has always been our good tradition. Calling each other by the title "teacher" itself means respect.Moreover, Zhu Mingde and Xu Youfa are indeed worthy of Chen Kangjie calling them that. They not only have superb acting skills, but also have a very good character in the circle. There are very few negative news about them.People are also more easy-going, and often take good care of some less advanced actors.

"Teachers, don't you take the initiative to distance yourself from me, haha. By coincidence, I have gained a little fame, but in front of you, I am not only a junior, but also, there are indeed quite a few of you. Something worth learning for me. Although the saying goes that heroes are judged by success or failure, we can’t just judge heroes by success or failure, that’s not comprehensive. If this is the case, how can there be advanced figures who are unknown and dedicated?” Chen Kangjie Instead of being proud and complacent because of the other party's disguised compliments, he continued to maintain a humble attitude.

"Haha, I understand why you have achieved such extraordinary achievements at such a young age. It's really not easy. It's not easy. If the young people now have half your grades, it will be difficult to find someone who is neither arrogant nor impatient." Yes. With this alone, few people can compare to you." Xu Youfa looked at Chen Kangjie with a satisfied and appreciative expression, and said with a hearty smile.

"I feel the same way. Well, since this is the case, then we don't need to be polite anymore, otherwise, we will be hypocritical." Zhu Mingde also said.

All in all, no matter whether the two refused or accepted, they were all praising Chen Kangjie.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Zhu Mingde and Xu Youfa have been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years.They have also seen many rising stars, and those people who have achieved a little bit of success are a little smug, and some take themselves too seriously.Of course, this also has a lot to do with their different paths to success and the different historical periods they experienced.People like Xu Youfa and Zhu Mingde only regarded acting as a hobby and job at the beginning. Since they worked in state-owned units, their income was not much different from other colleagues at that time.This creates their always approachable mentality.Moreover, at that time, if they wanted to gain recognition, they relied entirely on their works. As for publicity or hype, it was basically zero.

After entering the 90s, with the development of the national journalism industry and the diversification of society.It is relatively easy to become famous in this period. After many young people enter this circle, their works are difficult to be commendable. However, under the dual effects of behind-the-scenes funds and media, their fame has grown rapidly, and their income has also increased geometrically. Increase.The rapid fame and generous remuneration quickly overlooked and distorted these people.They feel that they are not ordinary people. Not only are they not ordinary people in the eyes of movie fans, but even when they are with these old artists, it is difficult to respect them from the bottom of their hearts. They always feel that they are outdated, backward, and unable to keep up with the times. They are going downhill.

Compared with those people, Chen Kangjie is really outstanding. To put it bluntly, ten or eight of them added up, it is still difficult to catch up with Chen Kangjie's fraction.But Chen Kangjie was not self-righteous and defiant.In comparison, the high and the low are already obvious, and the pros and cons are distinguished, so there is no need to compare them at all.

After calling the two to sit down, Chen Kangjie continued to have a contact and greeting with other actors behind.These people are far away from Zhu Mingde and Xu Youfa in terms of fame, and they are also much younger in age.Many of them were ordered by Chen Kangjie himself.He judges based entirely on his experience ten years later, because two or three of them will be very popular in ten years, and his acting skills are also quite good, but it hasn't shown much yet.

Being able to cooperate with Chen Kangjie this time is really a rare opportunity for these young rookies who have just stepped into the show business circle. Although they are not leading actors, as long as they perform well, they will also be very brilliant.After all, Chen Kangjie's films are aimed at the world, unlike other performances they participated in, which are only aimed at the domestic market.

In terms of age, it seems that they should not be said to be young rookies, because none of them are younger than Chen Kangjie.But in terms of career, they are really young.Chen Kangjie has more than ten years of experience in the entertainment industry, while they have just graduated from the Film Academy or Drama Academy.

These novices were very excited to see Chen Kangjie. It is no exaggeration to say that they are all fans of Chen Kangjie.Facing the excited eyes, Chen Kangjie can only give them an encouraging smile and equal treatment.

"Everyone, we are going to start intense work tomorrow. Although I know you all before this, I believe you all know me too." After shaking hands with everyone, Chen Kangjie returned to the top list He sat down on the sofa and said with a non-pretentious smile, "However, after all, we have no formal contact with each other. Taking this opportunity, on the one hand, we can get to know each other formally, and on the other hand, we can get to know each other again. It will be very beneficial for future cooperation.”

"Yes."

"exactly."

... Everyone agrees with Chen Kangjie's official opening remarks.

What Chen Kangjie said was the plain truth, without falsehood.Chen Kangjie's previous knowledge of these people was mainly through the media, and their knowledge of Chen Kangjie could only be based on various related reports.We have never had the opportunity to sit down and chat face to face.

Making a movie is very about tacit understanding.If there is a tacit understanding between the director and the actors, and between the actors and actors, there will be fewer detours and the cooperation will be very smooth.

"As for this movie, I will be one of the leading actors. Before this, I have not acted directly on the screen. Compared with you, I am a novice, so ah, I hope to get a lot from you in the future. Guidance and help, let us all make progress together..." Chen Kangjie said modestly.

"Long, you are too modest. Those who know how to be a director basically know how to act. We all follow your instructions. I guess the pictures and plots you want are all in your mind." A acting ambassador The actor of the museum staff said.

"Hehe, thank you, thank you for your trust. However, although the director knows how to play, an immersive performance may not be able to portray the task well. Frankly speaking, I have not received professional training. Compared with you, There are more or less gaps." Chen Kangjie said frankly, "You should have read the script, right?"

"I've seen it, and I've been thinking about and reciting the script some time ago. Director, you should have written this script yourself, right? It seems a bit like "True Lies"." Zhu Mingde asked.

"I just participated in the script. The general idea was designed by me. However, some other people's touches were added to it. In terms of scenes, it should not be worse than "True Lies". There are similarities. However, the plot and the requirements There is still a big difference in the leading ideas expressed. It can be regarded as a patriotic film, but it is also an entertaining commercial film. It is a bit difficult to combine the two It's not easy. Taking into account the same tastes of domestic and foreign audiences, I personally feel that it is very difficult, and I feel a little like walking on eggshells." Chen Kangjie said sincerely.

This movie is different from other movies made by Chen Kangjie. For other movies, Chen Kangjie has traces to follow. He just needs to shoot the feeling and taste according to the influence in his mind.In other words, he is standing on the shoulders of giants for secondary creation.But this time is special, there is no template to follow, no reference, everything needs his new shaping.

When I was in school some time ago, although Chen Kangjie would go through the script in his mind every day, carefully pondering every line and every detail of the script.But no matter what, it still only exists in the mind. When it comes to actual shooting, whether the effect will still be the same is a question mark.

"This is the first time I have participated in the shooting of a Hollywood movie. There may be differences in some of the habits we have adapted to. It may also be difficult to communicate with foreign staff. I hope that in the next cooperation, if If there is something we are not in place, you can point it out for us frankly." Xu Youfa said.

"There is no problem in this aspect. Maybe there are cultural differences between China and the West, and there may be some differences in the way of doing things. But I believe that when it comes to work, everyone is similar. In order to ensure smooth communication between everyone, there are several translators in the crew. If you feel that is inconvenient, you can also find my assistant, and he will assist you. If it is not good, you can also find me, and I will try my best I can tell you everything I can say." Chen Kangjie nodded and said.

As an actor, director, screenwriter, producer and producer, Chen Kangjie is busy in the crew, it is impossible for him to personally appear in everything, otherwise he will be exhausted.In this, Liu Deyi needs to play a special role.As Chen Kangjie's assistant, many things that Chen Kangjie has to do will be handed over to Liu Deyi.Only when Liu Deyi couldn't handle it, Chen Kangjie would come forward.So in the next period of time, Liu Deyi will be very busy.

Chen Kangjie's time was very tight, but he still communicated cordially with these domestic actors for more than an hour, and talked about many topics, including performance details and Hollywood, and even part of Chen Kangjie's privacy was involved.It wasn't until Liu Deyi came to tell him that the dinner was ready that their conversation ended.

Since it was the first reunion after the formation of the crew, and at the same time, it also allowed the staff of the crew and the actors to have a contact and get in touch with each other. Chen Kangjie held a dinner party, which was his own treat, and gave everyone a platform to get to know each other. .At the same time, it is also a welcome for those cast and crew who came from afar.The place for the dinner was in the grand banquet hall of Mengting Hotel. It did not adopt the form of a domestic round table. For the purpose of taking care of all parties, it was a buffet banquet.
