Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 198 I'm Not the God of Medicine!
After returning to the apartment, Lin Yuan sorted out his next itinerary immediately.

Although there are life assistants to help take care of these things, he, the person involved, must be aware of it.

Otherwise, when it really came to the time on the announcement, and waited for the life assistant to remind me to make arrangements, it was obviously a little improperly prepared.

After resting in the apartment for two days, the first thing to do was to film the last scene in the mental hospital in the movie "A Good Show".

Filming is no longer a challenge for Lin Yuan. He only needs to read the script before filming to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the plot. With the blessing of actor-level acting skills, he basically doesn't have to worry about performance.

When the movie "A Good Show" is completely finished, it is estimated that it will be mid-December.

For the film market, December has always been a very important time period. It is not that there are any films released, but that the films during the Spring Festival are almost all gathered in December for promotion.

Movies for the Spring Festival are generally divided into two types. One is that it starts to be released before Christmas, and the release time spans three festivals: Christmas, New Year’s Day, and Spring Festival. Wan box office won the Lunar New Year box office champion that year.

The success of "Party A and Party B" has officially opened the curtain of "Lunar New Year films" in mainland China, and the directors have also seen a huge movie market: the period before the Spring Festival is the time when audiences are most willing to go to the cinema.

Followed by "Endless", "Sigh", "Big Guy", "Mobile Phone", "A World Without Thieves" and so on. Apart from their super high box office results, these films also have a very important feature , that is, they all chose to be released during the Spring Festival.

With the rapid development of the film market, the competition for films during the Spring Festival is becoming more and more fierce. This has led to some directors choosing to release films around New Year's Day. The entire film release time spans New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day. festival.

The reason for choosing to release it on New Year’s Day is that apart from avoiding some periods of intense competition, the main reason is to focus on the film market in March and April. As we all know, since there are no festivals in March and April, the film market during this period is generally relatively bleak. , few movies would choose to release during this time.

But if the movie released on New Year's Day has a good reputation, then the distributor will find a way to extend the release time. Although the movie market in March and April is sluggish, mosquito legs are still meat, and there are no other movies competing with them. Why not do it for fun?

Regardless of whether the movie "Mermaid" chooses to be released around Christmas or around New Year's Day, in short, the promotion of the movie in December must be a firm fact.

As the leading actor of "The Mermaid", Lin Yuan is also the most famous actor in the whole movie. Even if Master Xing doesn't mention it, Lin Yuan himself has to promote this movie well.

After all, the box office performance of this movie is very important to him.

He currently has four movies starring in the theaters, namely "One Man's Martial Arts", "Scorching Sun", "Tang Tan" and "Looking for the Dragon". The combined box office of the four movies just broke the 50 billion mark. The gap with Huang Bo's accumulated box office is less than [-] million.

"Kung Fu Yoga" and the soon-to-be-wrapped "A Good Show" are still too early for release.

If the movie "Mermaid" can earn one billion at the box office, he will suddenly become the first actor with a cumulative domestic box office of more than 60 billion, which also means that he has the strength to compete for the final [-] billion box office.

But if after the movie "Mermaid" is released, it can't surpass Huang Bo's cumulative box office, then Lin Yuan doesn't have to think about competing for tens of billions of box office, and it's better to take two movies a year and start "retirement" .

After promoting the movie "Mermaid", he will have to guest-star in Wang Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu", and then he will be in charge of the Beijing Film Academy training class before the Chinese New Year.

After Lin Yuan wrote down his upcoming itinerary on paper like this, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Why is my next itinerary so tight?
Obviously, he was still picking out movie scripts for filming in the first half of the year, but looking at it now, the time is simply not enough for him.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, just take a good rest for two days."

Lin Yuan put the pen aside and lay down on the sofa to rest.

Judging from this schedule, I am afraid that it will not be easy for me to take time to rest. If I don't take advantage of the free time to take a good rest now, I will definitely be exhausted by then.

However, before Lin Yuan had rested for a few minutes, the cell phone under the sofa cushion rang.

He sat up, groped for a long time, and took out the phone from the gap in the sofa.

"Xu Zheng"

Looking at the notes on the caller ID, Lin Yuan couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Why did Brother Zheng suddenly think of calling me?"

Just got on the phone.

Before he had time to ask Xu Zheng if he was looking for something.

Then I heard Xu Zheng on the other end of the phone scolding him severely: "Lin Yuan, did you just float away after winning the Golden Horse Award?"

Lin Yuan: "???"

He was about to ask what was going on, when he heard Xu Zheng continue to question: "Now that you have taken the double actor, playing big cards, don't you think of me as a brother?"

At first, Lin Yuan thought Xu Zheng was joking with him.

But as soon as the second sentence came out, Xu Zheng still maintained such a serious tone, which made Lin Yuan wonder, is Xu Zheng serious?
So he took advantage of Xu Zheng's time to take a breath.

Lin Yuan hurriedly saw the needles, and asked politely: "Brother Zheng, what are you talking about, how dare I play big cards with you!"

Speaking of which, he was also at a loss when he heard Xu Zheng's criticism.

After winning the Golden Horse Award last time, he returned to Shanghai and had dinner with Xu Zheng.

At that time, the two were chatting and laughing, recommending each other when they said there was a good movie, but they went back to Yakushima to shoot a movie for a month, and they didn't do anything except filming. Why did Xu Zheng say that he didn't treat him as a movie? Brother?

"Still pretending to be garlic, right?"

"If you tell me clearly now, I can still recognize you as a brother. If you wait for me to say it, our brother will have nothing to do!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Zheng also "hummed", even across the phone, he could still think of his angry expression.

After hearing this, Lin Yuan also quickly recalled the recent events in his mind.

After thinking about it all over the place, I didn't understand why Xu Zheng was angry.

This couldn't be that Xu Zheng was joking with him, could he?
The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility. Regardless of Xu Zheng's shaved head, he usually seemed quite serious.

But in fact, none of these actors who have made great achievements in comedies usually have their own humor. If they are really angry, they will not come up and say such serious things to him. At most, they will be the same as Wang Baoqiang.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan didn't expose him, but used his tricks: "Brother Zheng, brother, I really don't know what offended you, why don't we come out to have a meal and explain this clearly, I feel that there must be something in it Misunderstand."

Just after Lin Yuan finished speaking, Xu Zheng's wanton laughter rang out on the other end of the phone.

"Lin Yuan, how about my acting skills, are you scared?"

Lin Yuan didn't explain what he guessed, and said following Xu Zheng's words: "It's quite scary, I thought I offended Brother Zheng somewhere."

Xu Zhengxian smiled, and then changed the topic: "But you are really serious. You told Huang Bo about making a movie, but you didn't tell me? Why, do you think I can't help you?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

The co-authorship turned out to be about this matter, and he thought Xu Zheng was for something more serious.

The reason why I told Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang about making films by myself is not because they are both planning to make their own films now, and I can learn more experience from their filming.

As for Xu Zheng, although Xu Zheng has directed and acted in many films, he can't make a phone call to inquire about other people's filming. In addition to learning the knowledge of the system in class, he can only learn in person by observing the scene.

Lin Yuan hurriedly explained: "Brother Zheng, can you blame me for this? I haven't written a word about making a movie yet, and now I have decided on the investment. The script, actors, time... these things are not yet accurate. Whether or not I can make films by myself is a question.”

He wasn't lying.

The vice president of Enlight Pictures just said that he would do his best to help him invest in making movies and scripts.

But I can't just pick up a script and start filming, can I?

After I have chosen a suitable script, I have to choose actors according to the script, and finally I have to prepare various matters for the crew, and I have to pay attention to whether I have a schedule when filming the film.
After all these things are combined, Lin Yuan himself is not sure when he will be able to make a movie.

Following Lin Yuan's voice fell.

Xu Zheng's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Is that all? Are you free now? Come to Fuyong Road, Songjiang District, and I promise to give you a surprise!"

"Brother Zheng, what a surprise?"

"Why are there so many questions? Is it still a surprise to say a surprise? Come here quickly. I'll wait for you here."

With that said, Xu Zheng hung up the phone directly.

Lin Yuan glanced at the time, tidied up briefly, put on his hat and mask and went out.

Fuyong Road, Songjiang District is the address of Xu Zheng's personal studio, which was established a year later than Huang Bo's personal studio, but the two studios are quite close to each other, and they are both in the same district.

In less than half an hour, Lin Yuan arrived at Xu Zheng's personal studio.

The layout is similar to that of Huang Bo's personal studio, and obviously incomparable with those regular large companies. After all, Xu Zheng usually spends little time in his personal studio, so naturally everything is kept simple, as long as he can see it.

After greeting Lin Yuan into the office, Xu Zheng shouted to the outside: "Xiao Li, make a new pot of tea for Mr. Lin Yuan, don't go out and tell us to search."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan followed up and joked: "Brother Zheng, look at what you said, did you just buy me a pot of tea? If you don't treat me to a good meal tonight, I will tell you that you didn't when I was interviewed later." Boge is generous."

After the words fell, the two suddenly burst into laughter.

After Lin Yuan sat down, Xu Zheng first asked him about the filming of "A Good Show" with Huang Bo, and nodded slowly when he heard that the film was about to wrap up.

After chatting for a while, I got back to the topic.

Xu Zhengxian asked: "Lin Yuan, do you know about the 'Bad Monkey 72 Movie Project'?"

"Of course I know." Lin Yuan nodded and answered.

Regardless of whether he is busy filming this year, or on the way to filming, but he still knows a lot about the news in the entertainment industry.

This "Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Project" is a future plan for young filmmakers announced and launched by Bad Monkey Films earlier this year. Young filmmakers with attitude, personality and ideals provide a development platform with leadership, planning, pattern and future.

To put it simply, the senior director of Bad Monkey Films led the new generation of filmmakers to make movies.

This is indeed a good thing for the new generation of filmmakers, but the question is what does it have to do with him, since he has not signed a contract with Bad Monkey Films.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to ask, Xu Zheng, who was sitting by the side, explained to him: "This 'Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Plan' was initiated by Ning Hao, and I have some relationship with him, and I know his situation."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Is this something to do?The relationship between these two is very good!
From the relationship in "Crazy Stone" in 2005, to "Crazy Racing" later, to "No Man's Land" and "Heart Flower Road", the relationship between Ning Hao, Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng has become closer and closer In the early years, I was afraid that I could even tell what color underwear the other party was wearing.

Lin Yuan wasn't surprised that Xu Zheng knew about Ning Hao's bad Monkey Pictures.

Xu Zheng continued: "Now there are four scripts that have been decided. If you want to make a movie, there are ready-made scripts here. You can just see if it suits you."

"That's not very good. Isn't the script reserved for the signing of new generation filmmakers?" Lin Yuan hesitated. He has a good relationship with Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, but it doesn't mean that he has a good relationship with Ning Hao.

Besides, I didn't sign a contract with the "Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Movie Project", so it was somewhat inappropriate to shoot with other people's scripts.

Xu Zheng patted Lin Yuan's thigh, and explained: "You kid won two movie stars, isn't it a new generation director? Or did you secretly direct any movie?"

Seeing that Lin Yuan still didn't agree, Xu Zheng had no choice but to reveal his old background: "Don't worry, if you are willing to take pictures, it's too late for Ning Hao to be happy. Besides, I'm not someone who borrows flowers to offer Buddhas. If Ning Hao doesn't Dot said, will I come to you to talk about this matter?"

Huang Bo had already mentioned the matter of Lin Yuan's filming in the WeChat group of the three of them, and wanted him and Ning Hao to give some advice on what kind of film Lin Yuan would make. After all, this is Lin Yuan. Yuan Yuan's debut work must take both box office and word-of-mouth into consideration when choosing a movie theme and script.

After Ning Hao saw the news, the first thing he thought of was to ask Lin Yuan to cooperate with them in making a movie, not because he wanted Lin Yuan to sign with Bad Monkey Films, but because he wanted to take advantage of Lin Yuan's reputation.

Just imagine.

The winner of the youngest double actor in China, he co-directed a movie with a good reputation at the box office with Bad Monkey Films. Didn't Bad Monkey Films immediately become famous in the industry?

At that time, is it still afraid that there will be no new generation of filmmakers joining their "Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Project"?
It's just that Ning Hao also knows that his relationship with Lin Yuan is obviously not as good as that of Lin Yuan, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, so he has to ask Xu Zheng to help with this kind of matter.

After Xu Zheng said that, Lin Yuan naturally realized it all at once.

Since director Ning Hao doesn't mind handing over the script to him for filming, there's no need for him to be polite.

Besides, if the script can pass Ning Hao's standard, it will definitely not be a bad movie, which is much more reliable than the script that Enlight Pictures found for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will see if there is a suitable script then."

Seeing that Lin Yuan agreed to come down, Xu Zheng took out his mobile phone and said excitedly, "What are you going to do then? Today is the only time. I'll call Ning Hao and ask him to come over with the script."

Lin Yuan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Xu Zheng's enthusiasm, he had to acquiesce in this move.

After about an hour, Ning Hao arrived at Xu Zheng's personal studio with four scripts.

This is also thanks to the fact that he has something to do in Shanghai now, otherwise he would have to wait until the early hours of the night when he flew over from BJ.

Seeing Ning Hao coming in, Lin Yuan stood up and greeted him warmly: "Hi Director Ning Hao, I grew up watching your movies, and I finally saw a living person."

Ning Hao smiled, and said politely: "You're welcome, Mr. Lin Yuan won the Golden Jubilee and Golden Horse Double Best Actor at a young age, and has always wanted to cooperate with you, but it's a pity that there has been no suitable opportunity for a long time."

It's not that the two are bragging about each other's business, but that the achievements of the two are here.

If you change to someone who has no strength and no achievements, you can see if Ning Hao will give him a good face.

Seeing that the two were still going to be polite, Xu Zheng quickly brought the topic back: "Mouse, stop talking, where's the script?"

"Oh, here it is!" Ning Hao finally came to his senses and put the script on the table: "Mr. Lin Yuan, please see if there is any script you want to try. If you have any subject matter you want to shoot, you can also say Let us analyze it."

It can be seen that Ning Hao still wants to cooperate with Lin Yuan very much.

Lin Yuan nodded. He didn't know what kind of movie he was going to shoot, so he didn't give any direct answer. Instead, he picked up four scripts and simply flipped through them.

The four tentative scripts are "Embroidered Spring Knife: Asura Battlefield", "Sweet Life", "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Journey to Clouds and Water".

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw the script of "Xiu Chun Dao·Sura Battlefield".

When I first debuted, my first famous movie was "Embroidered Spring Knife". Relying on the role of Ding Xiu in it, it became popular on the Internet, which paved a good way for my future success.

And he also knows the plot of the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" very well. If he shoots the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife: Shura Battlefield", it will be much easier to think about.

This movie theme alone has become Lin Yuan's first choice.

Lin Yuan didn't read the content of the script, but opened the next script "Sweet Life".

"Sweet Life" is a feature film. After looking at the core of the story, one knows that this film is aimed at winning awards. The box office should not be too high. After a little thought, Lin Yuan put this film on the optional later.

The third movie script is "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which is also a drama, but this movie is inspired by "Dallas Buyers Club" and combined with the script created by the prototype character "Lu Yong". It is attractive, and Lin Yuan has a premonition that if this movie is produced with the effect of the story, the box office will definitely not be less than one billion!
This time, Lin Yuan did not close the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", but carefully read the content of the follow-up script.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Lin Yuan is still immersed in the story of this script.

Xu Zheng and Ning Hao also had a tacit understanding not to disturb Lin Yuan. When the two talked, they deliberately kept a little distance away, fearing that it would affect Lin Yuan's current state.

Ning Hao looked at Lin Yuan, turned his head and whispered, "It seems that Lin Yuan should have picked the script of "The God of Medicine"."

"I thought he would make "Embroidered Spring Knife" at first." Xu Zheng muttered, "But let's say it first, I want to participate in the movie "The God of Medicine". If I can't be a director, I will follow you no matter what." Same, be a producer."

"All right, all right, we brothers still talk about this."

Ning Hao's face was full of joy. He was afraid that Lin Yuan would not like the four scripts. Now that he has chosen the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", it is the best thing. As for Xu Zheng As a producer, isn't that a matter of putting a name on it?
Another half hour passed.

Lin Yuan's lips were slightly astringent, he closed the script, picked up the cold tea and drank it in one gulp.

He took a heavy breath, and then said slowly: "Director Ning Hao, if you believe me, I want to try the script of "The God of Medicine"."
