tearjerker director

Chapter 969
Lin Yunbin smiled and said, "Wu Qianjun!"

He just said a name, and when Chen Wen asked, Zhou Guo seemed to be suddenly enlightened.

"What? Brother Zhou, do you all know each other?" Li Yi was a little puzzled and curious.

It's not that he is ignorant, but he really doesn't know about Wu Qianjun.

"I know, speaking of it, Wu Qianjun is actually quite famous, but he does have some bad luck, or in other words, his star luck is really bad." Chen Wen was also a little bit embarrassed when he said it.

"Oh? How did you say that?" Li Yi was quite curious.

"Wu Qianjun came from a family of martial arts. He was discovered by Hong Kong director Luo Qiliang in his early years and brought him to Hong Kong Island to make a movie. Although the movie was not a big success in the end, it also made Wu Qianjun stand out." Lin Yunbin said with a smile.

"It's just that in that year and month, Hong Kong Island films were declining day by day, and Hong Kong Island filmmakers went north one after another, but Wu Qianjun chose to develop in the Hong Kong Island film circle instead. That brokerage company offended a lot of people for some reason. It’s okay in Hong Kong Island. In the mainland, it’s hard to get good resources if you’re not from your own company. But there weren’t many good resources. In fact, at that time, Action movies and martial arts movies are still very popular, and it was supposed to be the best opportunity for an action actor like Wu Qianjun to rise up, but he missed it and has been wasting time in some small crews."

"It's nothing at all, but Wu Qianjun's luck is really bad. At that time, it happened that Hong Kong actors bullied mainland actors, and he happened to be in that crew. The straight-tempered Wu Qianjun, and Stand up and speak for mainland actors, but you know, he has been in the Hong Kong circle himself, although he is a mainlander, it’s okay to speak honestly, but some people on Hong Kong Island feel that he is picky. "

"Sometimes, although those people did not succeed enough, they failed more than enough. As a result, Wu Qianjun was embarrassed." Lin Yunbin was not without emotion when he said this.

"So, it really is fate! He has encountered many good opportunities for him, but it always seems to be a little bit short."

"At that time, some directors from the Mainland also took a fancy to his skills and asked him to act, but in the end, his agency opened his mouth, causing him to directly fall out with the agency, and even went to court, and this kind of dispute happened. Opportunities can't wait for him, so they will naturally fade away."

"When he successfully terminated his contract with the agency and returned to the mainland, it is a pity that action movies have gradually withdrawn from the mainstream market. Wu Qianjun also returned to the mainland because he was bitten by a snake, and he did not sign an agent at all. The company directly runs the Dan Gang, but you know, what good resources can you get for running the Dan Gang? Therefore, he can only act in some non-mainstream TV dramas, and movies can only have a small role in it."

Li Yi nodded. Some people might say, if you have the strength, are you afraid you won't be able to stand out?But the fact is that if an actor wants to succeed, he really has to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.

And what if you have strength?
In many movies, people don't look at your strength at all. Maybe Wu Qianjun's job is better, but under the same conditions, even if their own actors are inferior, they must choose their own people, and you are not their own people. What made you take such a good resource?

Moreover, the advantage of an actor like Wu Qianjun is not particularly obvious, because he is better than others in his skills, but the problem is that this thing is really not a must for movies. Many of them are not action actors, but after action guidance, tricks, action design, etc., they can still act like martial arts masters, and it's not up to you.

But if this is the case, it seems that Lin Yunbin and the others think that Wu Qianjun is suitable. After all, although martial arts movies are declining and action movies are not mainstream in the market, action actors may not be as brilliant as they used to be, but the domestic market is so Well, there are so many people, and there are actually quite a few active action actors in their hands, so how can Wu Qianjun catch their eyes?

"The reason why I know him and I have a deep memory is because I have worked with him before. How should I put it? This person is really hard-working, and he is really desperate. There was a scene shot underwater. As a result, that time, he He almost died directly below, but he didn't change his face, but he frightened the director at that time." Lin Yunbin sighed.

"That's true. I remember that cooperation. He played a villain in the scene. There was a scene where the villain was beaten. For the effect, the director asked for real fighting. In the end, seven consecutive shots were taken, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Yes, but I just kept silent," Chen Wen also said.

"No, since you are so optimistic about him, why don't you support him?" Li Yi was a little puzzled.

Originally, it was really inappropriate to say such things, but the friendship between Li Yi and Chen Wen was enough for Li Yi to ask directly.

"So, his star luck is really bad." Chen Wen couldn't help shaking his head.

"There are indeed very few such actors, so we are naturally willing to recommend it when we have the opportunity, but he thought of starting his own film and went to make his own movie."

"This person is really dedicated, but sometimes he is so dedicated that people can't laugh or cry. He wanted to make a military movie, but he went to the army for training. After training, he fell in love with it. Eighteen months , Can you imagine? In order to play the role of a soldier well, an actor really went to serve as a soldier, and he is still the kind of soldier who has no real name." Chen Wen couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Yi couldn't help but click his tongue.

"And then? Is his movie finished?" Li Yipo asked curiously.

"It's done, it's not done!" Chen Wen nodded and shook his head.

"Many people don't understand, thinking that making a good work is enough, but in fact, they ignore the importance of distribution. His first film was a military drama, but you know, TV dramas should be sold to TV stations. So easy? He is not a well-known director, nor does he have such a wide network of contacts. Why do other TV stations buy movies at a high price? So, in the end, he begged his grandpa to sue his grandma for his first self-directed work. It has become a star, but it is not a professional director after all, and it is the first self-directed and self-acted work. Although the result is good, the ratings are not good. Don’t worry about making money, it’s all luck to make money.”

Li Yi nodded.

If you make a good work, you will definitely be able to make money. Only laymen would say this.

You know, most of the directors who graduated from the film academy in the same class as Li Yi have not yet made it to the top, and only a small number of them have really made it.

Not to mention, there are so many film and television works produced domestically every year, but how many can be broadcast by movie theaters and TV stations?
