China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 299 How to Train the Actors for a Live Performance...

As soon as the movie finished, He Fang returned to Changsha to rest at home for a few days. He really didn't stay at home for a few days this year, and he usually had a video chat with his parents.

Fortunately, his parents are used to it. He has been studying and working in the United States for eight years, and he also sees him once a year. If it were other parents, he might not be able to bear it.

The movie will wrap up on November 11th, and he has to go to New York on December 25rd. The awards season has already started, and he doesn't have to participate in some awards, but after December, he will really participate in some awards.

比如从12月3日开始的美国国家评论协会奖、纽约影评人协会奖，以及12月4日美国国家影评人协会评论奖、12月8日洛杉矶影评人协会奖，这是12月份何方必须要参加的四个颁奖季的奖。

These four awards are called the Four Outpost Awards, and they are just for the Oscars.

Of course, in addition to the four awards that must be attended, he will also attend at least ten top-level parties, or public relations receptions, in December.

Although it is said that a public relations company has sent you gifts, money, advertisements, and even some unimportant awards for you.However, it doesn't mean that you don't need to come forward. On the contrary, it is because they have done the work that it is more effective for the main creators to come forward.

Before the Oscars, there were not only four outposts, but also four wind vanes. The awards of the four wind vanes are: Critics' Choice Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, British Academy Film Award, and Golden Globe Award.

这四大风向标是2014年的1月份有三个，2月有一个，这四大风向标一完成，那就是2014年3月3日的奥斯卡终极奖了。

Of course, it's not that these eight film awards are the only ones to participate in these three months. In fact, there are dozens of awards, large and small, but these eight are more important.

This is a bit like fighting monsters and upgrading, and then you have to have good weapons (movies) and good marketing (capable of krypton gold) for the challenger. Finally, with the dual effects of weapons + marketing, you have a chance to win in the ultimate battle claim the throne.

In order to win the throne in the final battle, filmmakers who are competing for awards in the three months of December, January, and February of the New Year's Eve should sprint hard.

Of course, this is also the carnival of money-making and fun for those film critics, critics, and filmmakers. They rest for 9 months a year to take care of their bodies, and then they are invited by different crews to eat, drink and have fun during these three months. Cool for three months.

……

In fact, I didn't get any real rest when I returned to Changsha. Instead, I was busy with some company affairs, meeting some people every day, eating and drinking with people, singing K and washing my feet at night.

Then "Quick Book" and "Everyday Upward" forced He Fang to record the programs respectively, but there was no way.

On November 11th, He Fang went to record "Quick Book", and when he arrived at the scene, he was surrounded by several hosts.

"Oh, Director He, I really miss you, long time no see."

"Mr. He, I miss you too. Why do you feel younger again? Teacher He, do you have any maintenance secrets?" He Fang asked in surprise.

"...Ah... You, why are you so good at acting? The polite words are so true, I almost believe them." He Jiu said in the same surprise.

"Pfft, haha..." The hosts next to me burst out laughing.

"Uh, it's so embarrassing..." He Fang looked embarrassed.

"Haha... just kidding. Did you see the camera? I have a mission. The audience voted for us to embarrass you." He Jiu pointed at the camera.

"Hey, then I would like to thank Mr. He for his mercy. Fortunately, it's such an embarrassment. If it's something else... I can't imagine..." He Fang wiped his sweat, as if he was 'intimidated'.

"Oh, what kind of embarrassment do you want?" Xie Na immediately stood up and raised her eyebrows and asked.

"I don't want embarrassment, I want natural joy." He Fang shook his head and said.

"You want to be happy? That's a bad coincidence. We are members of the happy family, so we are very happy, so let's join our happy program." Xie Na immediately answered.

"Yo? Is this... a string of words with me? Or are you planning to trick me?" He Fang asked vigilantly.

"Who dares to set you up. You have such a high status. If we set you up, you probably don't want to live? We really want to have some happiness with you."

"Cough, want to be happy with me? This... Do you feel that?" He Fang raised his eyebrows.

"Pfft, ah, where are you thinking..."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone teased for a while, the camera recorded some material and left, and then everyone really said hello to who, and talked about the questions to be asked later and the process.

Then there are two small activities for He Fang to participate in. One is to let him sing, and the other is to let him teach everyone to perform live.

Because He Fang has successively won the Best Actor, it is very attractive to ask the director who can win the Best Actor to teach everyone how to act.

As soon as He Fang heard that there were only these two, he felt that there was no problem, so after asking He Fang some questions, they went to prepare.

He Fang sat in the waiting room and waited. At the beginning of the recording of the show, there were other guests, one named Zhang Liang and the other named Liu Qian. He Fang must be the finale, so the two of them were recorded first.

Actors and models who participated in the recording of "Where Are We Going, Dad" in 2013, as for Liu Qian, needless to say, he has been a magician in late spring several times.

Before the recording started, Zhang Liang and Liu Qian knocked on the door and came to pay a special visit to He Fang.

No way, who told He Fang to have a high status and a great reputation.

The world's top directors, they all have to come to pay a visit first for this title.In addition, He Fang is still an invisible big boss. There are four companies that are fully controlled, namely Changsha Tuanhuo, Changsha Xingyao, Hunan Sanchen Cartoon Group, and Guangdong Original Power Co., Ltd. Festival Beat, DJI, etc.

Changsha Tuanhuo has an annual revenue of more than one billion yuan. Just three or four movies a year alone have a box office income of one billion yuan. There are also peripherals, copyrights, etc., and the income generated by the company's directors?

Changsha Xingyao is even worse. Almost all of China's top entertainment variety shows come from this company, with annual revenue of several billion.

In addition to the signature animation programs of Hunan Sanchen Cartoon Group and Guangdong Original Action Company, let alone the broadcast rights, the annual IP authorization alone is several billion.

Maoyan is now a global ticketing and box office information data platform...

Today Toutiao has almost caught up with Weibo, and it is the second largest public opinion gathering and distributing center in China...

DJI drones have occupied 70.00% of the global drone market...

……

On the Forbes rich list released in October 2013, He Fang ranked 10st on the China list with a net worth of 96.7 billion, a proper rich man.

So, for such a boss, isn't it normal for Zhang Liang and Liu Qian to come and pay a visit to He Fang?

He Fang greeted the two of them, exchanged some pleasantries, and then the two of them went to prepare to go on stage.

Since then, He Fang has been sitting in the lounge playing with mobile phones, smoking, and watching the actual broadcast of the program recording.

An hour later, the staff came to ask He Fang to prepare, saying that he was about to go on stage.

"Okay, now we're going to invite a superstar to come on stage, audience, are you ready to scream and applaud?" He Jiu looked to the audience and asked.

The audience was stunned, superstar?Could it be that another Hollywood actor was invited?Recently, some Hollywood movies came to Changsha for filming. The program crew often invites some stars to participate in the program, but there are not many who can be called real superstars.

"Ah, Mr. He, I'm looking forward to it too. Come on, let's listen to him sing a song for him first." Xie Na twisted excitedly.

"Okay, then we invite... to come on stage." He Jiu deliberately withheld his name.

He Fang stood in the background holding a microphone and nodded. For the sake of effect, he sang the chorus of the song before he even got on stage.

So, when the audience was still wondering who the audience was, suddenly the music started and a powerful singing came:
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fire
Put that thing on ligher
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you'r gone..."

"Wow..." The audience was startled by the singing. This song "Stronger" has been popular all over the world for nearly two years. It's too high, most people can't sing it.

Now not only is someone singing, but it is also sung by a male voice. How can this not directly excite the audience?

When He Fang walked to the stage, the audience really screamed...

"Ah... where, where, where..."

The audience was screaming in unison, which was really beyond their expectations.

I didn't expect He Fang to come. Although He Fang is from Changsha and his company is also in Changsha, he rarely comes to record programs, except for important movie promotions.

In the past two years, his film promotion has been going internationally, so there has been less domestic promotion and fewer programs to record.It was a surprise that he came here, very pleasantly surprised.

"...

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
But told you I was moving on over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
......"

I have to say that He Fang's singing is really at a super-professional level. If he goes to become a singer, he is definitely a top-notch first-class singer, just like he is an actor, the kind who wins the best actor as soon as he acts.

It's a pity that his time is limited, and he has no chance to be a singer at all.

After the song is finished, the audience cheers and the hosts come out.

"Wow, tsk tsk, drunk, drunk, director He's singing skills are too good, such a super difficult female song can be sung so well with a male voice, if you participate in a singing show, you will be a proper champion." He Jiu Be amazed.

"Yes, the hosts like us all have professional music skills. It can be said that Director He Fang's singing skills are very professional singers in terms of phonetic notation, rhythm, emotion, articulation, breath, etc." Xie Na Praise from a professional who is also in the singing industry.

"Ah? Nana, are you also a professional singer?" He Fang suddenly looked at Xie Na in surprise and said.

"..."

"..."

"Ah... Director He demolished my platform..." Xie Na immediately crouched on the ground covering her face.

"Pfft, haha..."

Everyone laughed together, the reason why He Fang took down the stage was because he didn't want to be blown up so much, he just sang a song, everyone just had a good time.

"Oh, Teacher Xie Na, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I slipped my tongue, no, I told the truth, no, no, I shouldn't have told the truth, hey, that's not what I meant..." He Fang pretended to be anxious Go round and round.

"Ha ha……"

"Ha ha……"

"Ah, you scoundrel, you have to step on me even if you hurt me, Director He, you are too bad... woo woo..."

"Ha ha……"

After everyone had fun for a while, they finally got back on track again.

"Okay, okay, did you see Director He Fang's performance just now, is it very realistic?" He Jiu took advantage of the situation and asked the audience.

"Yes."

"That must be realistic. He is a director who has cultivated many movie stars in a row. He is also a movie star himself. Isn't he amazing?" Li Weijia immediately followed the topic.

Because everyone knows what the main line is, an excellent host knows how to get the conversation to the main line.

"Director He, why don't you teach us to act, I also want to be a best actor." Du Haitao answered at this time.

"Yes, yes, I want to win the Best Actress." Wu Xin also forcibly raised the topic.

"Wait a minute, I have acting experience, so it should be easier for me to train, Director He, why don't you give me some pointers." Xie Na immediately roared, shocking the audience, but everyone burst into joy as soon as the words came out.

"Haha, I can indeed train the actor and actress, but there are prerequisites." He Fang waited for everyone to finish the fun, and then continued.

"Premise? What premise?" He Jiu asked.

"Two prerequisites, one is that the basic skills of acting must be very solid, and the other is that the image must be in line with the role. Without these two prerequisites, the gods will not be able to help you win the best actor and actress." When it comes to professionalism, He Fang is a little more serious .

"I know this. When Liu Yan came to the show last time, I said that in the earliest days, you kept disliking her for her poor acting skills, saying that she couldn't speak her lines well, couldn't control her breath, and her basic skills were poor. Force her to go. After studying with a teacher for more than a year, she has caught up with her acting skills, and now she often plays some roles in Hollywood movies and has become a real international star." Li Weijia said.

"Yes, I can't make you an actor without basic skills. Actor is a talent, and if it is a talent, it needs a lot of thresholds. It doesn't mean that the director will master it once he is trained.

Take the four homework of an actor as an example, which one can you do without practicing for several years or decades?Even if you have practiced for several decades and you have no talent, it will still limit your upper limit. "

When He Fang said this, Du Haitao suddenly rushed out, but after thinking for a while, he retracted again.

"Hey, Haitao, do you have anything to say?" He Jiu asked.

"No, no." Du Haitao waved his hands quickly.

He Fang smiled, "Haitao, I guess I have a different opinion, but because I'm afraid I won't be able to answer, so don't ask? Don't worry, ask boldly."

"Huh? Then, then, I'll ask."

"Just ask."

"Director He, you said that actors need decades of knowledge, but I know that there are many well-known actors in the entertainment industry who have never studied acting, but they have succeeded." Du Haitao looked carefully at He Fang after asking. .

"Hey, I seem to have answered this question somewhere... I feel that this is the most frequently asked question. But it doesn't matter, I can answer you. Some people who have not undergone strict training can succeed because of their Their talents are too strong, and they happened to meet characters that fit their image, so they became famous all at once.

However, if such an actor wants to be famous all the time, he has to make up lessons later, and if he doesn’t make up lessons, he will be in danger...For example, like Wang Baoqiang..."

He Fang once again picked up these few successful grass roots as an example, because this is the easiest way to explain the problem.

After an explanation, Xie Na asked.

"Director He, you also said just now that if the director finds an actor who perfectly fits the role, but the actor just doesn't have any skills. How can you train him? For example, me, now you want me to play a role, I You don’t have any foundation, what do you do now?”

Xie Na's question is very tricky, but very practical.

"Well, this situation can be solved, let me demonstrate it live..."
