I'm not just a director

Chapter 184 The Grand Prize
"Source Code" set.

"Crack, pass!"

Zeng Li's role was NG three times in a row, and finally passed directly.

Chang Xiaoyang was taken aback by such high efficiency.

Repeatedly watching the playback on the monitor to confirm Zeng Li's performance just now.

There were no problems with the lines, movements, expressions, and micro-expressions.

Is this... still Zeng Li?

Frankly speaking, Zeng Li's acting skills can only be regarded as below-average among the artists Chang Xiaoyang has come into contact with, barely passing the grade.

Of course, this has something to do with her experience, after all, she is a student who has just graduated.

It is far worse than those old actors who have owned for several years or more.

Is Zeng Li talented in acting?
There must be, otherwise, I wouldn't be a student graduating from the Chinese opera class.

These years, universities have not yet expanded their enrollment, and prestigious art schools are still in the stage of careful selection.

Acting students, in fact, are the same as the recruitment of theater troupes in the past, they all depend on their fundamental talent and appearance.

Although the process of kowtowing and appreciating teachers is avoided in terms of recruitment, everyone knows that the teacher is their master.

Generally, universities will address students at the upper and lower levels as seniors and senior sisters, but art students, especially performance students, are called seniors and seniors.

There is a kind of brother from the same sect, getting along with the meaning of inheritance...

Therefore, Chang Xiaoyang was very curious, just in the past night, how did Jiang Pei'an train Zeng Li?

It's obvious, when the crew finished work last night, he saw Jiang Pei'an and Zeng Li talking and laughing together.

Of course, he didn't think too much about it. What else can the director and actors do besides discussing the plot of the movie?

Even if there were other things, Chang Xiaoyang would not think about other things.

In this line of business, first of all, you must have a guard with your mouth!
"Old Chang, the scene has changed, why are you in a daze?"

Jiang Pei'an patted Chang Xiaoyang on the shoulder and reminded with a smile.

"Director Jiang, how did you train Zeng Li? How did she change so much in just one night!"

Looking at Zeng Li who was touching up her makeup, Chang Xiaoyang asked in puzzlement.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:

"Let's not talk about Lizi, have you noticed that Mr. Wang Jingsong's performance has also changed?"

"Wang Jingsong?"

Chang Xiaoyang murmured, and then played back the picture he just took several times.

"Wang Jingsong...he seems to be deliberately suppressing his performance."

Chang Xiaoyang came to a conclusion after thinking for a while, Jiang Pei'an nodded, encouraging him to continue talking.

"In the same scene, yesterday Wang Jingsong seemed to be holding back his breath, and his whole body was full of aura.

But today is different, he has become more restrained, the same scene, today his performance is very layered..."

As he said that, Chang Xiaoyang's eyes lit up, and he said:
"I understand, Zeng Li was suppressed yesterday because of Teacher Wang Jingsong's aura.

Today Wang Jingsong changed roles, Zeng Li's pressure dropped suddenly...

No, this is just a unilateral change by Wang Jingsong, and has nothing to do with Zeng Li. "

Chang Xiaoyang fell into confusion again.

Jiang Pei'an waved his hand and said:
"It's very good that you can notice this. I have been an executive director for too long, and I have formed my own fixed thinking..."

As he said that, he told the story of his play with Zeng Li yesterday again.

Only then did Chang Xiaoyang react, and suddenly realized:

"What you do is equivalent to finishing the most difficult scenes ahead of time, and carefully analyzing the psychology of the characters.

The most difficult scenes are over, and with Wang Jingsong's own adjustments, Zeng Li is no longer 'afraid'. "

Jiang Pei'an followed his words and continued:

"This is equivalent to playing a game, the boss has been defeated, and the rest of the minions are naturally not a threat in the player's mind.

Zeng Li's biggest problem is her lack of self-confidence in psychology, as long as she clears up this aspect and lets her develop naturally. "

Hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Chang Xiaoyang said in disbelief:
"So simple?"

"It's that simple."

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

The matter itself is not that complicated. The actors can't play, either because of their own reasons or external factors.

As long as the right medicine is prescribed, of course, excellent actors can adjust themselves to achieve the perfect performance.

The current Zeng Li does not have this ability, so the director needs to mediate.

"Been taught a lesson."

Chang Xiaoyang sighed.

Jiang Pei'an smiled. Since Chang Xiaoyang mostly worked as an assistant director and executive director, he might not be able to understand this kind of thing for a while.

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.

Jiang Pei'an now just wants to help him lead to the director.

Whenever he is able to take charge alone, the burden on Jiang Pei'an will also be lighter.

……

The scenes in the "Source Code" laboratory were filmed very quickly, and they were all shot after half a month.

The rest is Hu Jun's personal scene in the isolation warehouse.

Hu Jun's acting skills are still very good, this scene is his personal solo.

From small facial details to big emotions, he can act with ease.

The filming of "Source Code" is coming to an end, and the outside summer vacation is also in full swing.

The summer film market has always been a battleground for domestic and imported films.

Both the film distribution department and the projection department will launch the best works in this schedule.

The first to enter the audience's field of vision was the American blockbuster "Contest in the Battle", and then "Pearl Harbor".

It is also a "World War II" theme film, but the box office results are quite different.

On the first day of "Pearl Harbor"'s release, the box office of 10 yuan has already made operators see the shadow of 100 million yuan.

"Pearl Harbor" has not yet been released, so people are full of expectations for it.

Although there were criticisms after it was released, look at it the other way around.

Black and red are also red.

"Pearl Harbor" played the banner of "Titanic" and "Saving Private Ryan" - love plus disaster plus war.

Coupled with the huge production and huge publicity, the box office is still very strong.

Of course, "Contest in the Decisive Battle" is also very interesting to watch.

It chooses the wonderful story of two snipers fighting wits and courage in the battle of Stalingrad in World War II.

Few people may have heard of the name "Contest in the Decisive Battle".

But when it comes to his other name, many people should have heard of "Soldiers Coming to the City".

The film is composed of German investment, French director, British actors, and Soviet stories.

The composition is extremely complex, which reminds people of a classic movie "Memoirs of a Geisha".

It is most famous for contributing a very classic sniper battle classic battle, which can be called a film and television name.

Although it observes the war from a completely different perspective than "Pearl Harbor".

But judging by the box office...

It can only be said that Hollywood understands market conditions better.

Compared with the fighting and killing of imported blockbusters, domestic films are much calmer.

The two films "Crying and Laughing" left the audience with few choices when entering the film.

This year's summer vacation file is probably like this...

No, there is Yu Feihong's "Love Has an Afterlife" which is at the end of summer vacation.

According to Yu Feihong's feedback in "Love Has an Afterlife", the rough cut has been completed, and the efficiency is frighteningly high.

But it's normal. Before they finished the project, they had already started part of the plot editing and special effects production.

At the same time, the marketing has been done since the movie was launched, and the movie can almost catch up with the Chinese Valentine's Day.

At the same time, Jiang Pei'an suddenly received a call from Han Shanping.

"Han Dong."

Jiang Pei'an motioned to Chang Xiaoyang to shoot first, and he walked out of the set to answer the phone.

"Pian, is the progress of the film going well?"

Han Shanping's concerned voice sounded over the phone.

Jiang Pei'an looked back at the filming set and said with a smile:
"It's okay. Does Director Han have any instructions when he called?"

"You boy, can't I call you without instructions?"

"That's not what it means. We must be very grateful to Director Han for calling to express his condolences.

You see, the weather is so hot, and the staff of the crew can't take it anymore, why don't Director Han offer some drinks to cool off? "

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

Hearing this, Han Shanping burst out laughing:

"You're bringing the autumn wind to me, okay, I'll ask my assistant to deliver some hot summer drinks later, it's a little sympathy from the group."

"Boss atmosphere!"

Jiang Pei'an hastily sent up a flattery.

"Okay, I won't be poor with you kid, let me tell you something serious."

Speaking of business, Han Shanping suppressed his laughter and said slowly:
"You know the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, right?"

"Are they going to start?"

Jiang Pei'an suddenly asked.

Han Shanping nodded and said:

"Yes, according to the news over there, your "Taken" has been selected."

"Uh...Han Dong, what do you mean?"

"I mean you went to show your face. After all, you didn't go to the Huabiao Awards last time..."

The Huabiao Awards were held in May of this year. At that time, Jiang Pei'an was still in Yunnan Province and couldn't make it back.

So I politely declined the invitation of the organizing committee.

In fact, it's useless to go, and you can't get a big prize.

The Huaxia Film Huabiao Award is a film award sponsored by the Huaxia Film Bureau and is a government award in the film industry.

Regarding this award, later generations also have an international chapter and a joke about Chen Daoming.

The international chapter was so embarrassing on the awards stage, Jiang Pei'an wanted to pick her toes...

Just by looking at its nature, you can tell that the Huabiao Award will definitely not be awarded to his "Taken".

In addition to some "international issues" that need to be avoided in "Taken" itself.

Jiang Pei'an still has self-knowledge, and he will definitely not be able to beat last year's "box office champion" "Life and Death".

You must know that the state of this movie last year was simply killing everything.

All units, schools, enterprises, the absolute main theme of joint chartering, coupled with the Huabiao Award full of political meaning.

Even if I go, I will run with me!

"Han Dong, can I not go?"

Jiang Pei'an hesitated.

"Go and see, you've been making movies for so long, except for the director's forum I initiated last time, you haven't participated in any other similar activities.

This past time, it happened to be a good opportunity to communicate with colleagues and jointly promote the development of China's film industry! "

Han Shanping said with a smile over there.

Jiang Pei'an said helplessly:

"Well, I'd better go. You brought up all these words. If I don't go, I will be a sinner who hinders the development of Chinese movies."

Han Shanping laughed and said:

"You boy, go out more often to see the world, and then you will meet many excellent movie actors.

Even if it is to find actors in advance for the next movie, besides, if you go this time, can the organizing committee make it empty-handed? "

Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Pei'an said with interest:

"Han Dong, is there any gossip from your side, can I win both awards?"

"Well...you'll know when the time comes, okay, it's just such a small thing, I'll hang up first."

Han Shanping almost slipped his tongue and hung up the phone quickly.

"Stingy."

Jiang Pei'an put his mobile phone in his pocket, even if Han Shanping didn't say anything, Jiang Pei'an knew that he would definitely win the award.

Divide the pork.

In 1992, the Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films and the Golden Rooster Awards for Chinese Films were merged until they were canceled in 2005.

So many people in later generations believed that the two awards were issued by the same unit.

In fact, the Golden Rooster Awards accept registrations for Chinese-language films that have obtained a release license in mainland China.

The awards committee is composed of experts in the film industry, and the awards are selected by the experts' real-name voting.

This is similar to the expert award, which means the industry insiders recognize the winners.

The Hundred Flowers Award is voted by the audience based on their preference, which is the audience's recognition of the movie.

Generally speaking, the three major awards of Huabiao, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers have a certain reputation in the mainland.

But it is still a bit worse than the Golden Horse in Bay Province and the Golden Statue in Hong Kong Province.

At least for now.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Jiang Pei'an received a text message from Han Shanping on his mobile phone.

It is the place and time of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.

Jiang Pei'an got goosebumps when he thought of himself sitting in the auditorium clapping and applauding to accept the award speech from the organizing committee.

Can't let myself go there alone.

Thinking about it, he quickly took out his mobile phone:

"Brother Yu, what are you doing?"

Jiang Pei'an asked with a smile.

"Hey, Director Jiang, what play do you have for me recently?"

Yu Rongguang said with a smile.

"If there is a suitable role, I will definitely find you, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hire you with your current worth!"

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

"Don't worry, as long as you say a word, I will arrive immediately!"

Hearing this, Yu Rongguang blurted out.

Since he starred in "Taken", his current status is not generally high.

Vaguely approaching the first-line stars in the mainland.

The fame brought by a phenomenal movie cannot be measured by money.

At least he is currently in the C position in most of the events he attends.

Not to mention Hong Kong Province, he used to be familiar with various villains and supporting roles in Hong Kong Province.

Now the Hong Kong province actually threw an olive branch at him and invited him to play the leading role in the past.

It was absolutely impossible to happen before!
At least seeing those directors who looked down on him in the past come to beg him now, I feel very happy!

And all this is due to Jiang Pei'an.

"Thank you brother Yu for your trust. Right now, there is something I want you to accompany me, brother Yu."

"Go ahead and say, I'll be with you all the way up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​flames!"

Yu Rongguang said in a rather gangster manner.

"Accompany me to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards Ceremony."

"Sit down and applaud, don't go!"

The promised mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire!

Jiang Pei'an was speechless, it seems that not everyone likes to go to award shows!
