I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 37 Some Things

"Senior Wan,"

"Hello there!"

"Wan Dao!"

"Hey, hello!"

"Selection" sold over 4000 million yuan. For the film and television industry, it was like dropping a bomb. No one expected that a literary film could have a box office of more than 4000 million yuan.

The first movie won awards abroad and was a box office hit, making people think of Jiang Wen instantly.

Director Jiang Wen's first film "Sunny Days" helped Xia Yu win the Venice Best Actor, with a box office of 5000 million.

As a result, all major news media reported Wan Qingshan as the second Jiang Wen. In the past, Jiang Wen was a bad-tempered actor in the eyes of everyone, but after "Sunny Days" came out, Jiang Wen was regarded as a difficult actor by everyone. director.

Previously, no one paid much attention to Wan Qingshan's identity as a director. There was no other way. The title of the first Chinese actor in Berlin was too loud.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, Wan Qingshan is an actor who has taken the wrong path of being a director.

The box office success of "Selection" immediately changed Wan Qingshan's image in the eyes of the public, transforming him from a Berlin actor to a great director.

The largest number of Nortel students are from the acting department. For students from the acting department, when Wan Qingshan won the Berlin Best Actor, they would only marvel for a moment or two, and then they would be gone.

But now that I have become a big director, it is different.

After entering the campus, students passing by will come up to say hello to Wan Qingshan.

They hope to use this to leave an impression on Wan Qingshan, so that when Wan Qingshan makes a movie and chooses actors, he will think of them.

Although the chance was slim, all they paid was a trivial greeting.

Therefore, they were all willing to say hello, which caused Wanqingshan to respond non-stop along the way.

The student has not been beaten by society and has a relatively sensitive personality. Wan Qingshan does not want to get a reputation of being arrogant, so he can only respond.

By the time they reached the teaching office, Wan Qingshan was speechless.

"Uncle!"

After receiving the call, Chen Yangong, who had been waiting for Wan Qingshan in the office, said, "Bring me the script first."

Chen Yangong read the first draft of several pages for half an hour.

"Isn't this the final script?" Chen Yangong asked with suspicious eyes.

"Uncle, this is the first draft."

Chen Yangong took off his glasses, took a sip of tea, and said, "Since this is the first draft, it makes sense that there are some loopholes. Tell me what you want me to help you with."

Wan Qingshan called Chen Yangong and said that he had written a script and wanted to ask Chen Yangong for help.

But before Wan Qingshan could say what he wanted to help, Chen Yangong said, you bring the script to Nortel first, and I'll take a look at the script before talking about it.

"Uncle, you know a lot of people, so I want your help to see if anyone is suitable for playing the roles of Luo Feng and Luo Pingshan in the script."

Chen Yangong raised his head and asked in surprise, "You don't want to act yourself?"

Wan Qingshan pointed at his own face and said with a smile, "Uncle, it's not that I'm narcissistic, but my appearance doesn't seem to attract any of my female classmates."

Chen Yangong was stunned for a moment and scolded with a smile, "You will find a better makeup artist." Immediately, he stopped his smile and frowned, "I can think of several suitable actors for the role of Luo Pingshan, but for the role of Luo Feng, the character It’s too complicated. I think among the younger generation of actors, no one can perform it well except you?”

Wan Qingshan thought quickly in his mind and asked, "Uncle, are there any talented young people in Nortel? Then I will polish them one by one."

"No, Qingshan, why don't you want to star in it yourself?"

When Chen Yangong saw that Wan Qingshan was silent, he turned around and persuaded, "Do you still want to exhibit your new movie abroad?"

"Yes, let's take the road of exhibiting and selling films."

"Then do you think foreign film producers are more interested in movies starring Berlin's best actor or movies directed by Berlin's best actor?"

Wan Qingshan frowned, and the determination in his heart began to loosen.

The reasons why he didn't want to play Luo Feng were that, firstly, his image did not suit the role of Luo Feng, and secondly, it was really tiring to direct and act on his own, not physically but mentally.

Even if he can figure out the role in his sleep, he still has to memorize the lines and have to dialogue with others about the lines from time to time. At the same time, he has to master every aspect of the crew.My mind is spinning and I feel really tired after a long time.

Even now, seeing that Wan Qingshan still didn't say he would star, Chen Yangong stopped trying to persuade him.
"I don't have a suitable recommendation for the role of Luo Feng. For the role of Luo Pingshan, I recommend Chen Wei. He graduated from theater and has good acting skills and a rough image. He is very suitable for this role."

Wan Qingshan put aside the question of whether he wanted to star for the time being and asked, "Uncle, do you have his contact information?"

"I have it."

When Wan Qingshan took out his mobile phone and was about to write down the phone number, Chen Yangong, who was about to take out the phone book from the drawer, suddenly thought of something. He stopped and asked, "Qingshan, are you planning to contact him yourself?"

Seeing Wan Qingshan nod, Chen Yangong frowned and said, "Qingshan, in future filming, let the producer handle contacting the actors. If you are the director, don't contact the actors."

This statement made Wan Qingshan confused. Isn't it normal for the director to contact the actors?Did Jia Zhangke personally ask him to take the role before?Still in front of Feng Xiaogang.

"Uncle, is there any problem with the director contacting the actors?"

"Other directors have no problem contacting actors, but there is a problem if you do it. You are too young and cannot be as able to control actors as older directors.

If you are an actor who knows his roots well, it doesn't matter if you contact him.But do you know who Liu Wei is?You don't know anything.What if he has an arrogant temper?If you contact him personally, won't it make him feel that this role belongs to him, and then he will be even more proud.

You're young and can't control him. What will you do if he doesn't act according to your request when he's on the set?
Substitution?The crew had to stop for a while.If you don’t change people, will the resulting movie be what you want? "

Chen Yangong's easy words made Wan Qingshan react, "Uncle, I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future."

Chen Yangong took out the phone book, flipped through it, and found Liu Wei's phone number. He turned the phone book over and handed it to Wan Qingshan, "Write down the phone number and ask your crew producer to contact him."

"Hey, I understand, uncle."

Seeing Wan Qingshan write down the phone number, Chen Yangong put away the phone book.

"Qingshan, it's time for you to find an assistant. You are a famous director now. It would be better for your assistant to handle some things."

Chen Yangong's words made Wan Qingshan a little confused as to what "something happened" meant.

"Okay, you go back, I have a meeting to hold later."

Seeing that Chen Yangong was driving people away, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but ask what happened.

Chen Yangong's words left Wan Qingshan a little confused.

But on the second day, he understood what something was wrong with.
