I really can't act

"What will Mr. Han do after he retires? Flowers, grass, fish, tea, or his old profession, film director?" Lu Yang asked Fang Yi.

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, he's been an official for too long and has no creativity."

Lu Yang's family is in the system, and he is a little sad about this kind of thing: "Let Mr. Han do it again. Will he be the director or the chairman? I think it's better to be a director. Maybe it will last forever."

Fang Yi: "Then I'm afraid it's still good to be the chairman. How many people beg him."

Han Sanping was assigned to Meiying Studio in his early years, and became famous for shooting documentaries about leaders, and he was transferred to the capital to make a fortune.Documentary films are not documentaries, and there are not enough detailed materials to verify many things, so the director must have a certain degree of creativity.

His series of films proved that he is also a qualified director.In that era, it was produced by academic qualifications, works and luck, and it was the best version of the past.

However, once many people become leaders, their artistic creativity is gone, and they only give orders. Han Sanping could not break away from this shackle.In the latter part of his career, he also shot the main theme films such as "The Founding of a Nation" and "The Founding of the Party", but they were only one of the directors. Considering that the other director is Huang Jianxin, who is much better than him, it is difficult to evaluate Han Sanping's role in it. director level.

Lu Yang was a little curious. He knew that Fang Yi and Han Sanping had a good relationship, so he quietly covered his mouth and asked, "Director Fang, is it true that Hollywood sued President Han?"

Fang Yi couldn't answer this question, so he could only tactfully say: "People are complicated."

Lu Yang understood immediately, and stopped mentioning this matter afterwards, but talked about himself: "In the past, many people flattered Mr. Han because he could help, and he decided which films to include and which films to not...but in fact, now Everything has changed a lot, even if Mr. Han is still the chairman, I don’t think he will have the status he once had.”

This is true, Fang Yi does not deny him.

In the past few years, the society has vigorously advocated the development of the cultural industry. Various theaters and platforms are like crucian carp crossing the river. China Film Group is no longer the dominant player in the past.

Han Sanping may still have some influence on the review, and he can speak, but it doesn't mean much to Fang Yi, the production company "Republican Era".

Ning Hao has a film "No Man's Land" produced by China Film Group. Han Sanping is named as the producer and producer.It can be seen that Mr. Han's face is not so good.

Lu Yang doesn't care about the censorship system: "I've made movies in my life, so I shouldn't be hit by thunder."

"Why, because of your father?"

"No, because I'm not interested in dangerous subjects, so I won't shoot. How about you, Director Fang?"

"Me too."

The two went to the set while chatting about the development trend of the industry. "Embroidered Spring Knife" is currently filming in Hengdian.This place itself is also a good scenic spot. Fang Yi hung out here when he debuted in his early years, and now he is somewhat touched by the scene.

He said: "Every generation has a generation's choice of topic, and the works are a reflection of the trend of the times. There used to be obscurity school and scar school in the mainland literary world... Later, when the society turned to economic construction, no one would read such works soon. , and later even literature itself has more air than air.”

Lu Yang continued: "Literature is dead, so it's our film and television industry's turn to flourish, right? I just don't know how long the film and television industry will be prosperous, and when new things will come out, and we will be weeded out."

Fang Yi said with a smile: "This is going too far, it's not something that can be expected now."

"I'm just talking."

Fang Yi said with emotion: "You are worried. When I first entered the industry, some seniors told me in private... For example, Jiang Wen said that we are now in a period of transition between the old and the new, and things are changing. I always remember what he said , I don’t know the specific point in time when ‘the new has come and the old’ has come, and now that Mr. Han is about to step down, I realized that the old has passed and the new has arrived. It’s just that we are in Lushan Mountain.”

Lu Yang nodded and said: "I don't know what the future will hold, but this is our time - let's see the movie that makes us beautiful, "Embroidered Spring Knife".

Fang Yi arrived at the set of "Embroidered Spring Knife", briefly greeted the main creators and actors, and then prepared to change costumes and put on makeup in the dressing room.

There are two reasons why he came to "Embroidered Spring Knife" as a guest star. The first one is to sell his face to earn box office, which is not a shame.The other is to put pressure on Lu Yang. Director Lu's Golden Rooster Best New Director brand is indeed good, but it is not good enough compared to other movie stars.

For example, Shen Lian's actor Deng Chao.

Deng Chao was originally hyped as the number one niche student in mainland China, but later became the second niche student, the third niche student, and the fourth... Now that he is getting older, he doesn't mention the concept of niche student very much.He switched jobs from Huayi Film and Television this year. Rumor has it that he was squeezed out. He opened his own studio half-actively and half helplessly. He was at a low point in his life.

Even so, that was still better than Lu Yang, who became a monk halfway, so he had to politely call Mr. Deng, Brother Deng Chao.

Deng Chao was nicknamed "Drama Crazy" when he was in school. He liked to change dramas. He had some research on drama, and he was really good at it.

And because of his level of reformation, Lu Yang was troubled: You can only do it once or twice, you always play too much, you can't be a bully.My boss or your boss?
When Fang Yi was changing costumes, Deng Chao, his 98th grade senior, came in to brush his face and looked at the costumes on Fang Yi: "Isn't Director Fang the first time playing an emperor?"

"Just call me Fang Yi."

"Don't, the master is the teacher. How can I call people's names indiscriminately, Fang Dao."

Fang Yi didn't argue with Deng Chao, but just smiled.Lu Yang was also in the dressing room, and he suddenly introduced Deng Chaolai:

"I remembered that Brother Chao is actually a professional emperor. "Young Kangxi", "No. [-] in the World", "The Wind and Cloud at the End of Ming Dynasty"... all acted as emperors, and the reviews of the films were also good."

Deng Chao didn't know what was going on with Lu Yang, so why did he bring this up, so he echoed: "When I debuted, I looked more serious and acted in dramas. No one knew that I was funny, so I kept acting in costume dramas. " He joked, "And the emperor, who wouldn't want to act? Slam Fang Qiu, no one can cure him!"

Lu Yang laughed again and said, "It's just that Brother Chao felt a little wronged in this film. Instead of playing the emperor, he played someone else, this... the downcast Jin Yiwei."

Deng Chao thought he was discussing the role with him, and immediately said: "The character of Shen Lian is more complicated than the emperor, and it is challenging. I had a great time playing it, and I couldn't help but devote myself to it."

Lu Yang continued: "Yes, look at the scene we are filming now. Although Shen Lian is not on stage, he has to submit to the emperor's control, so it's not like no one can cure him. It's different from the emperor. Let's see if Brother Chao can act well... ..."

Deng Chao opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it, then widened his eyes, and realized that Lu Yang was pointing at him, and heard the meaning behind the words.

Fang Yi secretly laughed.

This director is sometimes like this with big-name actors, conjugated father-son relationship, subtle power struggles, keeping the scene unbroken, and outsiders can't even see it.

For example, when Ning Hao filmed "No Man's Land", he was the director in name, and Xu Guangtou and Huang Bo had to listen to him in everything, so don't force Lai Lai!In fact, he gave an opportunity to speak freely for a few days, allowing the big names to mention whenever they have an idea.

Deng Chao is not a fool, he later expressed his attitude with a joke.

When Fang Yi completely changed into the costume, he praised: "Director Fang has a good appearance, which is better than those emperors I played before. It seems that I am taking advantage of my age."

"I'd better play Jin Yiwei." Deng Chao said.
