The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 333 Concession Effect (Two in One)

On December 12, the launch ceremony of "Snow Leopard" was officially held.

Early in the morning, Lu Yuan went to the door and grabbed his girlfriend, and the two rushed to the Bayi Film and Television Base.

The location is located in the suburbs of Beijing, not far from each other, about half an hour away from the community.

The air conditioner was on in the car, and Lu Yuan closed his eyes and took a nap. The temperature in the capital had dropped sharply in the past few days, making it easy to doze off.

Well, this guy looks like he's taking a break, but he's actually following his lines.

Zhou Weiguo is proficient in multiple languages, including English, German, and Japanese, and can communicate in corresponding foreign languages ​​in different environments.

Since Lu Yuan entered the industry, he has never used dubbing in filming, because his mouth shape and lines did not match. After the final TV series was broadcast, it was easy for the audience to tell.

When the main creators met before, director Chen Haowei asked if he would accept the dubbing by professionals in the later stage. He refused on the spot without any hesitation.

Therefore, the crew thoughtfully arranged for him a French translator, a German translator, and a Japanese translator to help him practice.

During the period before turning on the phone, Lu Yuan used the stupid method he used to learn English at the beginning, marking Chinese characters, and then slowly read and recited them, plus a translator to help correct his pronunciation, and he was almost perfect.

The reason why "Insidious" is regarded as a well-known spy drama is that the crew used the original voices of actors is a major factor.

When filming "Before Dawn", Liu Jiang and Luo Liping made the same request for "Latent".

Many celebrities in Hong Kong and Taiwan usually use numbers instead of difficult-to-pronounce lines because their Mandarin is not standard.

Liu Yifei once told him that when filming "Dragon", Lin Zhiying either used numbers or English, and sometimes said "let's go" during the performance.

Coincidentally, this was also the case when Zhou Yunfa was filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

An action scene with Zhang Ziyi was quite difficult for him. He had to memorize the movements over and over again. When showing the movements, he had to read the lines constantly, which was extremely difficult.

After repeated attempts, director Ang Lee finally made an exception and allowed him to read the numbers and reduce the difficulty.

Some situations are excusable, while others are purely perfunctory. In Lu Yuan's view, lines are the foundation and the basic quality of an actor.

Of course, if you encounter a situation where the film fails to pass the review and you need to modify sensitive lines, which causes the lip sync to not match, there is nothing you can do in order to pass the review.

Liu Shishi was lying on the seat, his head resting on his boyfriend's thigh, and he was scrolling through his phone quietly. He didn't know what he saw, but suddenly he straightened his back and blew hot air into his ear.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yuan scratched his ears, hugged her into his arms with his eyes closed, and skillfully reached out with his right hand from the hem of his clothes. It was such a cold winter that he had to find a place to cover his hands.

"Let me show you this." Liu Shishi raised his phone, tilted his head on his shoulder, and muttered: "This producer on the crew has such an outrageous emotional experience."

"Yes." Lu Yuan rubbed his cheek against her hair and responded slightly. "Well, Zhang Jian is a well-known playboy in the industry, and his relationship history is extremely confusing."

Liu Shishi had stayed in the Tang Dynasty for a long time and was used to it. He found it strange and said: "The media said that Zhang Jian divorced his ex-wife Liu Bei six years ago. During this period, Liu Bei got married and had children with other people. Liu Bei divorced again and still With their children, the two remarried this year."

She shook her little head and said, "It's too dramatic and hard to understand."

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, pinched the soft and tender flesh around her waist, and said with a smile, "Do you know who Liu Bei remarried after they separated?"

Liu Shishi flipped through the messages on his phone and shook his head.

"Zhang Li."

"Is he the director who filmed "The Ming Dynasty 1566"?" She had an impression of all the scenes her boyfriend had filmed.

"That's right, he is the leading actor in mainland historical dramas. He and Zhang Jian have the same character, and both have turbulent hearts. They are two lovebirds."

"That Liu Bei is so pitiful. He trusted others twice." Liu Shishi sighed.

Lu Yuan curled his lips, Liu Bei was not a good bird either.

Zhang Jian took the initiative to have a showdown with his wife Huang Ming for her. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei hooked up with Zhang Li a few years after marrying Zhang Jian and quickly divorced Zhang Jian.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Li is a pit of fire, otherwise how could he have been divorced four times.

But Liu Bei didn't care. No matter how much his family objected, he insisted on jumping into the fire pit.

At that time, Zhang Li was a rising star in the directing circle. He had won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Cinematography several times. He was a promising new director. It goes without saying what Liu Beitu was.

Since ancient times, I have only heard new people laughing, never heard old people crying, and I always feel that I will be the most special one in my brother's heart.

He continued: "I don't know if Liu Bei is pitiful. Anyway, during her pregnancy, Zhang Li was photographed going in and out with Song Jia, holding hands while shopping."

Liu Shishi had an angry look on his face: "Why would she remarry Zhang Li even though she knew they were the same kind of people? It's hard to change a person's nature, so who can guarantee that he won't return to his old ways in the future."

"Who knows what she was thinking." Lu Yuan also didn't understand. When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Song Jia, a young artistic woman who had worked with him in "Crossing Guandong".

At that time, there were a lot of scandals about the two of them, and I thought she would become a couple with director Zhang Li.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Li and Liu Bei divorced, Song Jia patted her butt and said she was done with it, saying she was not interested in getting married and preferred to only fall in love without considering marriage.

Well, the thief in my hometown has never teased the little bird, so director Zhang Li has been teased once.

Liu Shishi pulled her boyfriend's weird hand out of his clothes, played with his fingers, and said: "Men are not good things. They love the new and hate the old. What you don't get is always the best. If you dare to do this in the future, I will. "

"Just what?"

She snorted, held her left hand in space, and made a scissor-like shape with her right hand. She glanced down and threatened: "I'll knock you off while you're asleep."

"Okay." Lu Yuan stretched out his hand to scratch her itch and said, "Do you actually have such a vicious idea to murder your husband?"

"Pfft, itchy, help, hahaha." She was swaying with laughter, and suddenly her phone rang.

"Who is it?" Lu Yuan bit her earlobe.

"Yang Mi."

Liu Shishi leaned into his arms and typed: "Mimi has been sulking recently. Old Hu said that if his life was a movie, then Mimi would be the pop-up advertisement."

"It's true, Lao Hu, how can I dislike Mi Mi for being an eyesore? Although Mi Mi talks too much and has a bit of a venomous mouth, she is his girlfriend after all."

Lu Yuan: "."

"Is it possible that Hu Jian means that Yang Mi appears at the most exciting time in his life like a pop-up advertisement?"

"Is that so?" Liu Shishi blinked.

Lu Yuan nodded.

"No matter." She turned around and hugged his neck, puffed out her cheeks and said, "I want to hear you say something like this too."

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two arrived at the Bayi Film and Television Base in Wangzuo Township.

The Bayi Filming Base is currently the only multi-functional military film and television production base in China.

The crew of "Snow Leopard" chose to shoot here because the base does not require approval for the use of guns, while approval in other places is relatively troublesome. In front of the hotel where the crew settled, Mu Yong hugged Lu Yuan who had just gotten out of the RV, and his eyes paused for a moment on Liu Shishi.

What a pretty girl, this was the first thought that came to his mind.

There is Solanum nigrum and Xu Changqing. I don’t know when these two got together. There is no news about it in the media. The confidentiality is really strict.

"Snow Leopard" is of great significance to him. It is related to his job promotion at Mango TV, so he attaches great importance to it.

But he also knew that Lu Yuan was not a random person. This drama placed different expectations on each other. The fact that he dared to arrange people in the group showed that this girl had some foundation.

While Mu Yong silently looked at Liu Shishi, Lu Yuan also looked at the people behind him, many of whom he knew and looked familiar.

Like Liu Liwei, he has appeared in "Ming Dynasty 1566", playing the eunuch Chen Hong and Eunuch Chen, and played the role of Captain Qiu Ming in "Snow Leopard".

Geng Changjun, who is of Chinese and Japanese descent, played the role of Jushiro Inoue in "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and this time he plays Shun Takeshita in "Snow Leopard".

Wang Kuirong, who once appeared in "Crossing Guandong", played his father Zhou Jiguang in the play.

Of course, there is also He Zhengjun, who plays the role of political commissar in "Bright Sword".

It can be seen from the casting lineup alone that the drama "Snow Leopard" is very ambitious, and the producers are most likely following the lead of "Bright Sword".

Mu Yong put his arm around his shoulders, and everyone chatted for a while before walking to the hotel.

After a short break, at ten o'clock that morning, the crew officially held a start-up ceremony.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of "Snail House", the current ratings are as high as 8%. Although it is inferior to "Latent", it ranks first in the same period and the topic discussion is far ahead.

As the series comes to an end, the popularity is unprecedented. Even though the crew did not want to make too much noise, and the Bayi Film and Television Base is relatively remote, there are not many media coming.

During the interview, many reporters chased Lu Yuan to ask about news related to "Snail House".

Based on the current sensitivity of "Snail House", he did not talk too much about it, but tried his best to bring the topic to "Snow Leopard".

This was not the first time that reporters from all over the world were interviewing this guy. They had long been accustomed to his style. They couldn't get out what he didn't want to say. Although they had no choice but to accept it, knowing that it was useless to ask questions, they dropped the interview back to "Snow Leopard". .

As usual, after the opening ceremony, the crew will arrange a launching banquet to welcome the actors into the set and enhance their relationship with each other.

That night, the crew reserved the hotel lobby and held a rather luxurious dinner, with a dozen large round tables and hundreds of people seated.

There is no doubt that Lu Yuan is the focus of this banquet.

The management and the director took turns to take the stage to deliver speeches, and the place instantly became heated.

"Teacher Lu, take a bite."

"Hahaha, okay."

Director Chen Haowei felt lucky more than once. Fortunately, he signed the contract early. When "Latent" was on the air, he signed the contract for 20 per episode.

If he were to sign it again now, he would not be able to sign for 20 yuan. "Snail House" was unstoppable at the end of the year, and with the influx of external hot money, Lu Yuan's salary also increased accordingly.

While the two were chatting, Du Yuming, another director of the crew, approached with a young man.

Du Yuming and Ji Chunhua are famous for playing villains. They both have bald heads, no eyebrows and similar skin colors, so they look very similar.

When Lu Yuan met him for the first time, he almost called him wrong. For a time, he thought they were brothers. In fact, they were not related, they just bumped into each other.

Du Yuming started playing villains when he entered the industry. After that, he went further and further on the villain road. This time he directed "Snow Leopard" and also played a good guy for the first time.

Lu Yuan clinked glasses with him and his eyes fell on the young man behind him.

Thick eyebrows, triangular eyes, one bigger and one smaller, the nose is not very straight, and the lips are a little thick, but the overall look is okay.

"Hello, senior brother, I am Zhang Ruoyun." As soon as he finished speaking, he held the wine glass, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.

Lu Yuan glanced around and didn't see his father Zhang Jian, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

In fact, Mu Yong told him that when "Snow Leopard" was being filmed, several investors, including Mango TV, wanted to invite him to star.

As a producer, Zhang Jian was upset after receiving the news and suggested that his son should play the male lead.

The idea is unrealistic. Lu Yuan and Zhang Ruoyun are blind people who know how to choose, and several investors paid no attention to them.

From the perspective of Mu Yong and others, if Lu Yuan is not the leading actor in this drama, they should simply stop filming it. They would rather withdraw funding.

Zhang Jian saw that there was no chance, so he was brave and offered his son the role of Zhou Weiguo's younger brother.

Although this may sound unreasonable at first, after Lu Yuan analyzed it, he believed that Zhang Jian did it on purpose.

There is a term in social psychology called the concession effect.

Make a big request first, and then make a small request of the same nature. This small request is likely to be easily accepted.

As a newcomer, Zhang Ruoyun is obviously not qualified to play the male lead, but Lu Yuan is a huge ship, so it would be a pity not to buy a ticket to play with qualifications.

However, Lu Yuan and Mu Yong have strict requirements on the professional ability of actors. With Zhang Ruoyun's resume, it is difficult to get a role with a heavier role. I guess Zhang Jian has thought about it early on, and his goal is Liu Zhihui from beginning to end. A corner.

Lu Yuan never underestimates this kind of person. Those who have been in the entertainment industry for many years have no simple things.

"What level are you at?"

"Level 07."

"Eh." Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that the same level as Junior Sister Jing Tian?"

"Senior brother, I am studying in a vocational class." Zhang Ruoyun pursed her lips. He and Lu Yuan were about the same age. Thinking of the other's current status in the industry, there was a burst of bitterness in his mouth.

Why doesn't he want to be the male protagonist? But the most important thing is to know oneself.

Lu Yuan glanced at him and didn't say anything else. He was just a junior, not worthy of his too much attention. He had a producer dad, and with his status as a second-generation star, he probably wouldn't be short of movies in the future.

On the other side, Liu Shishi also found his own small group and quickly became involved with the heroine Tao Feifei.

Before coming here, she specifically researched the other party's information. Tao Feifei has relatively few film and television works, but she has acted in many popular dramas, such as "The Golden Family" and "The Reign of Zhenguan". Most of them were supporting roles. "Snow Leopard" is her first TV series. Take the lead one step at a time.

She also heard from Lu Yuan that this person had a strong background, his brother-in-law was very powerful, and he was one of the directors of Jingcheng Culture.

The reason why he was able to be inserted was not only because of his background, but also because the other party graduated from Chinese Opera, and also studied as a graduate student in the Directing Department of the Academy of Chinese Opera, where he served as an acting teacher.

As an acting teacher, it must not be difficult for her to play the role of Chen Yi.

Thinking of this, Liu Shishi suddenly felt that he was under a lot of pressure. There were only a few female characters in "Snow Leopard", and the female lead was still an acting teacher.

Next, Xiao Ya has the most roles, so she will be squeezed to death.
