Entertainment: I can refine my acting skills every day

Chapter 172 169. An actor who started with 800 yuan and earned [-] million yuan in three years! ?

When Su Chen walked into the office of Cao Baoping's studio, he immediately felt the treatment he had never felt before.

"Oh, I remember at the time, it seemed like two years ago, I almost had the opportunity to cooperate with him."

"What's the name of that movie, oops, why did I suddenly... Oh, yes, "Happy", that movie is called Happy, it seems that there is some problem in the end, and there is no cooperation in the end."

Guo Tao immediately stood up from the sofa, smiled and shook hands with Su Chen.

Two years ago, when Su Chen was filming "Nightclub", there was actually another scene, "Happy".

It's just that the movie "Night Club" had a little more roles at that time. It took a month to shoot, and Su Chen took a total of 10 yuan.

In the end, I had no chance to cooperate with Guo Tao.

"Hi Su Chen, I'm Wang Luodan, nice to meet you."

Even Duan Hongyi, who didn't seem to be very talkative, squeezed out a little smile.

He usually doesn't like to socialize very much, or he hangs out in the so-called circle like other actors.

I don't really like the so-called traffic either.

Duan Hongyi felt that it was enough for an actor to play his own role well, so why all these troublesome things.

However, it was Su Chen who came.

Then the respect that should be given still has to be given.

In the past two years, Su Chen's popularity in the film and television industry has risen like a rocket.

Moreover, there were rumors circulating that he was a descendant of Hong San, and that he had a mountain behind him. After Su Chen really became popular, Duan Hongyi really studied and analyzed it for a while.

Whether it's Zhao Yun in "New Three Kingdoms" or Hu Wan in "Let the Bullets Fly".

Including Liu Yubai in "October Besieged City", they all look good.

Duan Hongyi checked his own strength, and if he were to act, it might not be as good as Su Chen, so he was convinced.

I feel that even if someone has a background and a backer, the fame and popularity they now have are based on their strength.

However, just two days ago, after he watched "New World".

Duan Hongyi is not only convinced of Su Chen, he is a smart person, he can feel that the short two years since Su Chen entered the circle and started acting, seems to have formed a kind of momentum on him.

This kind of momentum is obvious, not only Duan Hongyi feels it.

Before that, Sun Honglei also felt it, and Yang Mi also felt it.

It's just that Duan Hongyi and Su Chen had never met before, so he realized it later.

"Hello, Duan Hongyi."

Su Chen stretched out his hand to shake Duan Hongyi's hand. From him, he could feel the competitive nature of a man.

After slightly shaking hands, let go.

Su Chen said: "I really like the old A played by you!"

Duan Hongyi said with a smile: "Those are all films from many years ago. Isn't there no representative work in these years?"

After the actors greeted each other, they all sat down on the sofa.

Su Chen winked at Gao Hu.

Gao Hu and Huang Bo have a very good relationship. Su Chen and Gao Hu also met at a certain dinner a long time ago. They have known each other for a long time, so naturally there is no need to pretend to be polite.

Cao Baoping handed the thick stack of scripts on the table to the leading actors in front of him.

"It's not easy."

He smiled and adjusted his glasses.

"They have been waiting for you for two days, Su Chen."

Su Chen hurriedly stood up with a smile, and bowed slightly to her surroundings, expressing her apologies: "Mainly, there is a road show for the last movie, and there might be a time conflict."

"But until the filming of this film is finished, there will be no other things to disturb our progress."

Cao Baoping said with a smile: "It's okay, the more popular you are, the more attention our drama will get."

"As for things like popularity, the more the better!"

……

After the set was established in Beiping, Cao Baoping and all the main members of the crew flew to Xiamen on the same plane.

The drama "Scorching Sun" was mainly learned in Xiamen, and the art team had already chosen the scene here according to the script during the road show in Su Chen.

Moreover, it took Su Chen a month and a half to shoot "When a Man is in Love".

Duan Hongyi has not been idle either, he has been observing life in a police station in Beiping.

About the difference between the old criminal police and the young film police, the eyes of the criminal police when interrogating the prisoners, and the daily life of the criminal police at home.

Duan Hongyi in order to perform this play well.

I followed an old criminal policeman and lived in his house for more than half a month.

This is how serious Duan Hongyi is about filming.

So in the crew hotel in Xiamen.

As soon as Duan Hongyi put on the police uniform, his whole body feeling, his eyes, and the way he walked with a water glass could make people believe that he was a criminal policeman at the first moment.

But Su Chen hasn't entered the state yet.

The time the crew gave him, and the time he gave the crew, were too short.

Cao Bao usually looks amiable, but for this movie, he has a lot of thoughts, so much that he is already a little nervous.

It is rainy season in Xiamen.

Both the streets and the alleys are wet and rainy.

The stone crevices beside the alley are covered with moss.

Cao Baoping was wearing a black jacket, with his hands on his hips, standing under the umbrella his assistant gave him, looking at the surrounding environment.

As the filming of "Scorching Sun" started, his emotions and mood became more and more anxious.

Actors who have worked with Cao Baoping know that he is an inhuman director.

It's different from Jiang Wen.

Cao Baoping prefers to "squeeze" actors.

An actor can use his acting skills to give Cao Baoping a [-]% answer, but he doesn’t want to. He insists on forcing the actor to death, into a corner, and continues to explore the deeper possibilities of this role when the actor has nowhere to escape. sex.

Therefore, when actors who work with Cao Baoping recall everything they experienced during filming, they will have lingering fears.

"If it rains like this, many scenes will not be able to be filmed, which will greatly affect the progress."

"Where's Su Chen?"

The assistant next to him said: "After I came to Xiamen, I hardly saw him. He locked himself in the room."

"It is said to be looking for adjustments to adjust the status."

Cao Baoping nodded: "Okay, anyway, I will shoot other things in the first few days."

"We gave him too little time. Others, including Duan Hongyi, have been preparing for more than a month. Su Chen only has a few days, and it is much more difficult for him to play Xin Xiaofeng."

"Director, do you think he can meet your request?"

The assistant asked one more question.

Cao Baoping looked at the light rain in front of him and sighed, the brim of his hat was covered with raindrops.

"In the past, I was still uneasy, but I watched his new world some time ago, and Li Zicheng's role in it, isn't he also anxious?"

"A good actor like Su Chen, if he fails to meet the requirements of our show, it must be my problem, not his problem."

Cao Baoping looked at the old houses in the old streets of Xiamen in the distance: "Duan Hongyi's play is mainly based on eyes, but Su Chen's play is based on inner drama."

"The difficulty is not in the same order of magnitude."

He suddenly smiled: "An actor, how should he express his heart?"

……

at the same time.

Su Chen was really not in the standard room that the hotel had booked for him.

Instead, it was in a row of self-built houses next to the hotel, and I spent 500 yuan to rent a small dilapidated house.

There is only one window in this house, and all the curtains are drawn.

Even in broad daylight, there wasn't any light coming in from the windows.

On Su Chen's first day in Xiamen.

He rented this house, and at the same time, in the market not far away, he bought a pair of underwear for a few yuan, as well as a series of daily necessities such as Jiefang shoes, masks, and washbasins.

Su Chen and Cao Baoping said, after the filming started, can he give him about five or six days to adjust his state.

Cao Baoping also agreed.

But never expected that Su Chen's so-called looking for status was not staying in the hotel, but outside.

The room is full of old furniture.

Like this kind of self-built house, many people usually live together mixed together, similar to a three-bedroom, two-living room shared house with gypsum boards converted into eight-bedroom and one living room in a big city.

All household items are cheap.

Su Chen felt that it was unlikely to know Xin Xiaofeng's condition while staying in a big hotel.

What kind of character is this.

A fugitive, a person who lives at the bottom of society and dare not see the light.

This kind of people are afraid to see a doctor when they are sick, go out to live, dare not stay in a hotel, or even go to an Internet cafe.

Su Chen disassembled Xin Xiaofeng.

Start with the state of mind of a fugitive, looking for that feeling of constant fear.

Find the feeling of being a mouse in the sewer for survival first.

Then stand up and pretend to be a cat, and end up going through life and death with a real old cat.

A fake cat and an old cat end up standing in front of a broken window separated by a pane of glass.

Test each other and peep at each other in places where there is no sunlight.

Choose when to strike, or to escape.

……

Therefore, what Su Chen is doing now is just to let himself feel the mentality of a fugitive. He needs three days to make him really believe that he is a mouse hiding in the sewer and dare not show his head.

Su Chen sat on the broken sofa in this single room.

He hasn't shaved his beard for two or three days.

In the past few days, he bought a bunch of instant noodles and mineral water, and ate these things every day.

There are many people who think that an actor just needs to think about it to find his status, so why bother himself so much.

But on this question, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom, just like when Liu Meng said that Su Chen did not have a military look when filming "I am a special soldier".

If you don't go to the military camp to hang around, there is no way to imagine this military flavor.

Su Chen sat on the sofa with a cigarette on the table.

He doesn't smoke much at ordinary times, but in order to play this role, he specially bought a blue wolf of about 140 yuan.

Smoked one by one.

He remembered the dream he had when he was a child.

In the dream, Su Chen remembered that he seemed to be a murderer.

He hid in a rented house, only to be betrayed.

Su Chen nestled in the corner, opened a gap in the curtain, looked outside, but couldn't see anything, only the blue and red siren lights were printed everywhere.

The door of the house was kicked.

The kids next door are crying, the downstairs is full of cops, they should be holding guns.

Su Chen put down the curtains, turned her head, and suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.

Next, caught, interrogated, convicted, and executed...

If I had known this, why bother.

Then he woke up, covered in cold sweat, and thanked that all the scenes just now were just a dream.

Fortunately, I didn't really hold a human life in my hand.

After waking up, Su Chen panted heavily and stared.

When in a dream, it is easy for people to truly believe what happened in the dream.

But in real life, people are far less innocent than in their dreams.

It's like Su Chen once dreamed that he stumbled and fell from the cliff. When he [-]% believed that he really fell off the cliff, in the dream, his body would actually have a real feeling of weightlessness.

But when awake, it is difficult for someone to really sit on the sofa and let their body feel weightless.

This is the power of an actor's sense of belief.

After these three days, even if Su Chen didn't convince himself that he was a fugitive, his emotions had already settled down.

He was like a frightened bird.

At night, when the resident next door accidentally dropped Wan on the ground, Su Chen would suddenly panic, and then be so frightened that she felt hypoxic, and had to take a deep breath to regain her composure.

For three days, he wove many situations for himself, making his heart gradually become uneasy and fearful.

Xin Xiaofeng is sensitive in his heart.

But also, he is smart.

Three days later, Su Chen slowly began to adjust his fearful emotions, first to have fear, and then to suppress the fear.

In the end, I gradually approached the characters and characters.

When Su Chen appeared in front of Cao Baoping again, Cao Baoping was shocked.

Because at this moment, Su Chen is still as proud as he was when he first joined the group.

His complexion is a little pale now.

And the dark circles under the eyes are very heavy, so heavy that you don't even need makeup, you can go on camera directly.

The beard doesn't grow much, but it has a sense of vicissitudes.

In Su Chen's eyes, there are a lot of red bloodshots, maybe it's because of too much pressure, maybe it's because of poor sleep quality.

"Director, I think it's almost there."

Su Chen smiled at Cao Baoping.

"Have you been tossing yourself these days? I said I was looking for you that day, but you were not in the room. After asking, I found out that you were next to me and rented a house by myself."

Cao Baoping stood up and looked at Su Chen: "Wait a moment."

He picked up the walkie-talkie: "Damn, call Duan Hongyi, yes, other actors don't need to call."

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Cao Baoping also briefly talked to Su Chen about the situation of the crew in the past two days.

At present, after the "Scorching Sun" crew arrived in Xiamen, the first three days were to prepare props, costumes, and some minor shooting details to help the actors improve their condition.

Then after reading the weather forecast, according to the weather conditions, I began to roughly list the shooting times.

And for Cao Baoping, the most important thing is Su Chen's state, and Duan Hongyi's state.

"Duan Hongyi has gone crazy in order to play against you during this time."

Cao Baoping said with a smile: "He has worked hard, but after seeing you, you are a good guy, and you are not easy to mess with. You two are working harder than the other for the role."

After a while.

Duan Hongyi walked in.

He also gave Su Chen a police uniform.

"Put on your costumes, both of you, and come and see me."

After both of them put on their police uniforms, Duan Hongyi's hair was greasy, and Su Chen's expression was not good, so they stood together.

I don't know why, but there is a dusty smell.

Cao Baoping frowned: "Okay, the appearance is okay, then there is no problem. When we start shooting tomorrow, the specific characters can be refined."

"Also, let me tell you something."

He looked at Su Chen and Duan Hongyi sternly: "When I'm filming a movie, we can quarrel and swear. After the movie is finished, we can stay away from each other forever, but the movie must be well acted."

"I admire both of them very much, and I also recognize that everyone is a good actor."

"When working, it's normal to have disagreements. I have only one purpose, and I want to produce good results."

"Do we have any questions?"

Duan Hongyi smiled and said: "No problem, director, this is what I want to say. If one is not good, I will shoot another one. It is rare to meet a good actor. I hope it can produce good results."

Cao Baoping did not say such things as asking the actors to hold a round table and get some scripts.

Every director has different habits, and he prefers to adjust the emotions of the actors on the set.

……

in Peking.

Xiao Yang just finished staring at the clip of "When a Man is in Love".

He estimates that it will take at least ten days before the finished film comes out.

"To be honest, I'm also a top director in China now."

Xiao Yang was on the phone: "It's not a problem to ask her out with Han Yuan, you just show her the works I've photographed, tell her, and let her figure it out on her own."

"Hey, that's right, you can't lose a man's aura. It's impossible to lick a dog."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yang shook his head confidently.

The one who called him just now was a manager who traveled across the inland, Xiangjiang, Korea and Japan.

It is said that it is a broker, in fact, it is a broker.

Although Xiao Yang's reputation is not one-tenth as famous as Su Chen's recently, it can be regarded as one of the best in the industry.

First there was "A Good Show," then "Oldboy," and now "New World."

These three roads are getting bigger and bigger step by step.

In particular, "New World" has broken 1000 million during this period. Although the growth rate is extremely slow and there is not much time left, it still has a daily box office of more than [-] million.

If we only talk about the total box office.

Xiao Yang is much stronger than Ning Hao now.

There are also quite a few actresses who have shown affection to Xiao Yang, but Xiao Yang doesn't like pure natural ones, he likes technology and hard work.

So I still focused on Han Yuan.

Xiao Yang took 200 million for the director fee of "New World", and he didn't need to share this money with Wang Taili.

After all, Wang Taili is also very good now, relying on "Old Boy", it is very popular.

So the previous studio agreement exists in name only, and the chopsticks brothers are still the chopsticks brothers, but the money is separated.

Su Chen went to film.

Xiao Yang and Zhao Qing are responsible for these things in the later period of "New World".

Record it from time to time, and if there is any problem, just deal with it with Zhao Qingren.

Xiao Yang found that the box office had not increased much in the past two days, and it had reached the fatigue period of later growth, so he called Zhao Qingren.

"Sister Qing, that's right, I have such an idea."

"That is, after our film comes out of the theaters, it can actually be directly authorized to the online platform. You can discuss this with them at that time, or we can go to me to discuss it together."

"After all, I know a few people over there."

"It can be in the form of a one-time buyout, or in other words, in the form of sharing according to the fee point."

Xiao Yang touched his forehead and analyzed to Zhao Qingren: "My idea, let's simply buy it out at one time, and it can be 2000 million more, why not."

"Also, the matter of overseas copyright, this matter is up to you."

Zhao Qingren is also busy these days.

After all, it's not just Su Chen who is hot now.

Most of her father's film and television company used to cooperate with Shanghai TV Station, such as some French popularization programs, some small-investment TV series, etc.

Now after Zhao Qingren took over.

"Love Apartment" is now preparing to shoot the third season.

And in terms of movies, each one is blooming more and more, so with the popularity of "New World", many people are contacting her, wanting to collaborate on projects.

"You still need to worry about overseas affairs. The copyrights in Japan and South Korea have already been sold, and they will start to roll out next month."

"North America still needs to look again."

"And then some domestic awards have already participated."

Zhao Qingren made a rough calculation during this period, and when Su Chen's "Scorching Sun" is finished filming, it is estimated that the theater will be able to get back the money.

It is unlikely that the box office of "New World" will exceed [-] million.

But in the end, it is estimated that it is no problem to stop at around 5000 million.

In addition to overseas copyrights, I don’t know how much can be divided. Of course, the overseas version is different from the domestic version.

The overseas version is 8 minutes longer than the domestic version.

Zhao Qingren is calculated according to the domestic ratio. Overseas, after three months, it is not a problem to get back [-] million.

The money in it will be given to Su Chen, and after deducting taxes, it is estimated to be around 5000 million.

And the domestic zero and zero totals, 5000 million, roughly calculated as one-third, and there should be 6000 million in Su Chen's hands.

The overseas and domestic box office revenue alone is 1.1 million.

Whether it's under the bed or on the bed, even if Zhao Qingren knew Su Chen's power, he had never seen anyone accumulating wealth so fast in the entertainment industry.

200 million turned 600 million.

600 million turned to 600 million.

Take out another 1000 million, and turn it to [-] million in half a year!

If the online copyright is really sold for 2000 million as Xiao Yang said, Su Chen will get another 600 million.

And, to be honest, if Su Chen had been more ruthless at the time.

Just find a shell company to play by yourself, and borrow 3000 million from Li Rongchao to play this movie.

Then in half a year, it is equivalent to him earning [-] million empty-handed.

What's ridiculous is that Su's father and Su's mother thought that their daughter-in-law Zhao Qing was a thigh. They didn't know that their son was the king of thighs among thighs.

After hanging up the phone with Xiao Yang.

Zhao Qingren stretched out his hand to his mouth, bit it lightly, and looked at the night scene outside the office window, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Three years ago, when I met Su Chen for the first time in front of a floor-to-ceiling window in Huairou.

At that time, this guy seemed to be investing 800 yuan in "Crazy Racing".

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingren couldn't help showing a smile that he didn't even notice.

At that time, Su Chen was embarrassed for several days because he had no money with him.

But now, three years later, he can actually earn [-] million yuan in just one play.

Zhao Qingren is also a girl who was raised by the rich since she was a child. In her circle, there are countless so-called rich second generations, but from the beginning of 800 yuan, the speed of making money has increased to [-] million yuan in three years.

Even in Zhao Qing's circle, it can be regarded as a miracle.

The point is, next, Zhao Qingren estimates that Su Chen's annual income will never be less than this amount. This is the real reason why she feels that Su Chen has a miracle.

……

in Xiamen.

Late at night, heavy rain, the platform not far in front of the street lamp.

Duan Hongyi was smoking a cigarette, and Su Chen squatted on the ground next to Duan Hongyi.

In the play, two people go through life and death together, appreciate each other, and cherish each other, but they have their own positions, and they have to make a choice to kill each other at the last moment.

"I'm jealous."

Duan Hongyi squinted his eyes, looking at the foggy and rainy night in the distance.

He put a cigarette in his mouth: "I took the Chinese opera exam for three years before I passed the exam. After graduation, I acted in a drama for a few years. I always look down on those traffic. I think they are opportunistic."

"I watched your play later."

Duan Hongyi nodded: "Awesome."

"This drama depends on you."

He turned to look at Su Chen who was squatting on the ground: "Let's act well."

"I haven't won an award yet."

Su Chen's legs were numb, so he got up and changed his position: "Haven't I never won an award? I acted in this play just to play a good role."

"It doesn't matter whether the award is awarded or not, as long as you can play Xin Xiaofeng well."

"Brother Duan, you have to stimulate me."

Su Chen smiled and said, he stood up, Su Chen had his hair cut some time ago, his hair has grown a little these days, if you look at the hairstyle, it is definitely not handsome.

But the handsomeness of an actor comes from the role.

A character has a soul, and the actor will give the audience a handsome feeling in the play.

"Best Supporting Actor isn't an award?"

Duan Hongyi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The requirements are quite high."

Su Chen also smiled and said, "With the Best Actor in front, why is Best Supporting Actor an award?"

……

the next day.

At the shooting scene, Su Chen's first scene in this movie.

This car scene.

Shoot on the road.

The director and the lighting engineer couldn't keep up, so Duan Hongyi and Su Chen could only drive away. There were three cameras in the car, one on the hood, and two cameras glued to the armrest inside the car.

At most, the back seat of the car will be a videographer and a sound engineer.

The script has gone back and forth several times.

Because it takes three to five minutes to finish the words in this scene, so the monitor can't be connected.

The actors can only finish the performance once, drive back in the car, and the director will watch it once, and if there is any problem, they can start all over again.

The prop vehicle is a pair of old-style Mitsubishi off-road vehicles with warning lights inside.

Both Su Chen and Duan Hongyi had already put on their police uniforms.

"Come on, let's go again!"

This scene is the first time Xin Xiaofeng and the old criminal policeman Yi Guchun appear on the scene, and encounter gunmen on the road.

This scene is very important.

The important reason is that the more shrewd, experienced, and ruthless Yi Guchun is in this scene, the greater the pressure will be on Xin Xiaofeng and Yi Guchun when they get along in the next movie.

So this scene must be shot well, so that the whole movie can start well.

The cameras are all set up.

The old dark green Mitsubishi parked in the middle of the road, and behind it were about three members of the No. 40 crew, those holding a board, and those carrying a rocker arm, all standing far away.

Cao Baoping is wearing a straw hat and holding a walkie-talkie.

He sat in another car and followed Su Chen and Duan Hongyi the whole time.

"After the car started, the cameraman called to turn it on, and after the actors found the state, they started to perform directly."

"go!"

……

Su Chen sat in the driving seat. He squinted his eyes, gritted his back molars, then put into gear and started off.

The vehicle buzzed.

Su Chen's hands began to shake as they grasped the steering wheel.

It happened that it didn't rain that day, but the weather was also cloudy.

"Start up."

The cameraman adjusted his position in the back row and said in a low voice.

The vehicle drove out for 200 meters.

Duan Hongyi was sitting on the co-pilot, with one arm hanging out of the car window, and he was lying on the seat.

"Why didn't you take the civil service exam before?"

Su Chen sat upright, and he was a little absent-minded. Before filming this scene, his hair was specially dyed with some sporadic white strands by the makeup artist.

Looks a bit juvenile.

"Almost six years."

"Yeah, what do you think?"

Su Chen smiled wryly: "I didn't think much about it either."

In this scene, Duan Hongyi already felt that something was wrong with Su Chen. He had already seen Su Chen's habit of rubbing off his fingerprints with cigarette butts.

But just doubt.

Underneath every question he seems to be chatting about, there are actually thoughtful doubts and temptations.

Duan Hongyi looked at Su Chen with sharp eyes.

Then he turned his head and looked out of the car window. The smile that had just been squeezed on Su Chen's face gradually disappeared, and he continued to drive with a frown.

And this moment.

There is a taxi coming from the back of the road quickly towards the front.

When passing by Duan Hongyi, the people in the taxi gave a evasive look after seeing the policeman sitting in the Mitsubishi.

Duan Hongyi's eyes first inspected, then found something wrong, and then immediately became sharp and sharp.

"Stop this car!"

He sat up without any hesitation.

Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, but immediately followed Duan Hongyi's request and stuck the steering wheel in front of the taxi.

Followed by.

Duan Yihong took out a pistol from his waist with his backhand.

In Su Chen's eyes, this action was nervous, shocked, and flustered.

"Card!"

Cao Baoping's voice sounded from the intercom.

"Come, take a look, if there is no problem, continue!"

　Ask for a monthly pass, try to update as much as possible next month, brothers!
