superstar director

Chapter 507 Seriously
Looking at the two foreigners in front of them, the three of Ning Tong were also quite moved.

What Ning Tong felt was that foreign countries are different from domestic ones. With their current status, no matter what big director's film in China, the status of the three of them in the music world and their achievements in the film and television industry are enough to compete with those first-line big names. Stand shoulder to shoulder.

Even though their acting skills, big screen and professional awards are not comparable to those big names in the film industry, but with their No.1 status in the music world, a single round of popularity can be treated with caution by the producers , what's more, they also have several TV dramas with overwhelming ratings.

However, in foreign countries, these brilliant achievements are at most just a condition considered by others. This situation and difference are really very clear.

Perhaps, this is the old saying, people are cheap when they leave their hometowns, whether it is other jobs or the entertainment industry, after all, this is a world where everyone gets along!

But Shishi and Yingbao are a little proud in their hearts. Since their debut, although many people say that they have been blessed by Ning Tong, they rely on Ning Cheng to succeed.

But having said that, which star in the entertainment industry did not rely on the help of others, and then added their own efforts in exchange for their success. The stars in the film and television industry, if their agents did not help them make connections, would they be able to get those good scripts?Without the director's fancy and the producer's favor, can they play those wonderful roles?

Let's talk about those singers, without the help of the management company, and the record company's money and efforts, how do they make records and perform?
They have long been used to those sour words, and even now they still regard it as some people's envy and hatred.

However, in their twenties, they can stand at the top of the Asian entertainment industry, and they can enjoy unlimited scenery. Although they have worked hard for many years, everyone understands Ning Sheng's decisive force in it.

At this time, seeing foreigners are amazed at their achievements at such a young age, it is normal for the two girls to feel a little proud!
Thinking back to those young people who debuted with them on the talent show, now nine out of ten have already left this circle and become an unknown member of other industries, and the remaining one who is lucky is only in It is difficult to survive in the entertainment company. When I was in China, I occasionally met on a certain program, but at that time, the three of them were high-ranking superstars, but that person could only recall the past as a superstar. witness!
The three of them felt emotional in their hearts, and their thoughts turned to thousands of thoughts in an instant. Thinking of this, they lost their minds for a while, and then quickly focused on talking to Vincent and Schroeder.

"I've seen your performances in several movies," Vincent smiled, his expression was gentle, as if he was chatting with everyone.

"I'm a little tight on time. In the few movies I've had someone find you in the past two days, almost every character image of the three of you is different. And every new performance will make some progress. Very good, as an actor, hard work is the most basic quality!"

Compared with the producer Schroeder, the director Vincent, who doesn't seem to have much rights in the movie, pays more attention to this movie, because he knows that if the movie is successful, it will have great impact on his future director career. What a great benefit, and if it fails, then he may never have the opportunity to direct alone in the future.

Therefore, after the producer notified that a character in the film would be temporarily replaced by a Chinese actor, and the candidates for the role were all determined, in order not to make his first directorial work his own and his last work, he Ask the assistant to send back the DVD of the movie that Ning Tong and three of them starred in from Huaxia overnight.

While watching these DVDs, Vincent was thinking, if the acting skills and image of these three Chinese stars do not agree with the roles he requested, then even if the producer agrees to others, he still has to have a serious talk with them. talk about it.After all, the film itself is the director!

However, after watching these DVDs, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that these three people did not seem to be as bad as he imagined, and what he needs to consider in today's audition is, from these three people, choose The one that fits best!Of course, if there is a situation where the three of them are not suitable, it will be troublesome!
Wen Sen recalled in his mind the few Chinese movies these two geniuses had watched, and said to Ning Tong, "Your role in the movie "Hot Pot Heroes" has both the gentleness and kindness of Chinese women and the strength of women in the new era. Independence, is this character very similar to your own personality?"

Ning Tong has completely relaxed now, and said with a smile, "Actually, I am not the same as Yu Xiaohui in "Hot Pot Heroes". If you watch my first TV series "Legend of the Condor Heroes", then I will tell you, The Huang Rong in there is my favorite character all the time, and it is also the character closest to me, free, detached, and likes an interesting life, this is what I pursue in life now."

Wen Sen listened, nodded, and then asked Shi Shi: "Your movie characters show more of a gentle side. Is this a deliberate choice by you, or is it an image?"

Shi Shi smiled lightly with a standard smile without showing teeth, and then said, "Actually, I personally want to try roles of various personalities, but maybe it's because the roles I played in my debut were all biased towards this side, and then everyone thinks My image is more in line with a gentle temperament, so the characters given to me are all biased towards this aspect, but as far as I am concerned, I actually like more lively characters."

Vincent nodded, then looked at Yingbao and asked, "Zhao, your characters are all young and cute like children. Do you think you can play an adult woman well, or are you less cute and more introverted?" A little role?"

Ying Bao thought for a while, blinked her eyes and said, "I really want to try the role you mentioned. As for whether I can play an introverted role, I starred in "The Legend of Chu Qiao" in Huaxia before. The characters in that TV series are actually It is a cold, introverted killer character, I think I can do the performance required by the director!"

While listening to the three people's answers, Vincent was writing something on the paper on the table, while the producer Schroeder on the other side was watching Vincent quietly asking questions, without any intention of interrupting.

Vincent continued to ask, "Well, that's pretty much what we need to know. Next, let's get straight to the point." He looked at Schroeder next to him, Schroeder nodded, and motioned Vincent to continue.

Vincent looked at the three people and said, "Before coming here, how much do you know about our movie, or what kind of understanding do you have about the role you are going to audition for?"

As the captain, Ning Tong first said, "We didn't get the character script, but we have heard about the general character background of the character and the type of movie. This is a standard Asian girl template in Western imagination. She is introverted, good at learning, and has a personality. Some cowardly, like music but dare not compete with others for it, I think this is a kind-hearted young girl who is a good student on weekdays and dreams of music at night!"

Vincent nodded without making any comments, and continued, "Since you have a certain understanding of the characters, let's try it now. Which one of you will come first?"

Although they knew there would be this moment before entering here, when it was time to test their acting skills face to face, the three of Ning Tong were still a little nervous, just like job-hopping employees in other industries. There are some nervous ones.

Ning Tong played her big sister's true colors again, and said, "I'm ready, please come up with a question."

Vincent glanced at the most confident girl among the three, then thought for a while and said, "You are an introverted girl, now the members of the choir invite you to join the choir, and you need to inform your parents, because you need to be a girl after school. Stay in school to rehearse together, now you act out the mental activity of confessing this to your parents, of course, you need to show it through facial expressions or other ways."

Generally speaking, for a movie, especially a big production, the greater the cost, no matter what aspect it is, the more cautious it will be.

However, a small director like Wen Sen, especially a newcomer director who directs his first work, is sometimes more serious and strict than those big directors, even though he often has pitiful rights as a director, The real caller is the producer next to him.

But within the scope of the producer's permission and within the scope of his director's rights, his request must be more serious.

Just like now, although Wen Sen has seen the film works of the three before, but without going through the audition and trying their abilities to see if they are suitable for the roles in his movies, Wen Sen always feels a little worried of.

The film industry is not so easy to mess with, and it's not so easy to be a director. Not everyone can easily spend tens of millions to make a movie like Ning Sheng, and not everyone can easily prepare a crew. Issuing company can be found.

For people like Wen Sen, who have been in the industry for decades and finally got the opportunity to direct alone, there are countless people, and there are very few people who can finally seize the opportunity to work in the director's line of work. .

Therefore, for Vincent, he cannot be overemphasized.

Of course, sometimes as a supporting role, as well as stars from other countries, the treatment and methods of participating in a foreign film are also varied.

Just when the three of Ning Tong auditioned for their first Hollywood role, a popular actress from China also confirmed to play a role in a Hollywood movie.

And compared to the small supporting roles in Ning Tong and the others' low-budget comedy films, although they are also small supporting roles, and their roles are even smaller than the roles that Ning Tong and the others auditioned for, their movies are really super blockbusters.

It was the "X-Men" series with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. The popular Chinese star known as Fan Xiaoye didn't need any auditions, and signed the contract without even meeting the director.

Then the domestic media released the news that Fan Xiaoye joined the Hollywood blockbuster, the front page headlines, fans of Fan Xiaoye burst into cheers!
Of course, this popularity is only in the blink of an eye. Nowadays, with the soaring Chinese film market, news of Chinese stars joining Hollywood blockbusters is common.

What's more, in recent years, there have been more and more news about Hollywood stars joining Huaxia Films in turn.

It's just that whether it is a Chinese star joining a Hollywood movie, or a Hollywood star joining a Huaxia movie, the final box office results seem to have failed to meet people's expectations.

However, there are also some excellent works that cooperate with each other to win the box office and word-of-mouth. It's just that with the popularity of this kind of cooperation, more and more stars are coming. Hollywood blockbusters are mixed together, it seems that as long as I can get a foot in, whether it is the main actor or not, whether it can appear on the big screen for a few minutes, it is a double promotion of social value and status!
It seems that as long as he participates in a Hollywood blockbuster, he becomes one of those international superstars like Fa Ge, Ge Ge, and Cheng Long.

From the very beginning of this movie, Vincent has interviewed every actor in person, even if the lead candidate is directly confirmed by the producer, and there is no chance to change it, then he will work hard on the heroine set by the producer, Not only do they require the other party to read the script thoroughly, but they also need to understand their own roles and the relationship with other characters in the play. It can be said that in order to help the heroine to play her own role well, the director has almost It was a phone call a day to ask if the other party had any problems with the role, which also proved that Vincent had reached the point of being picky about his films.

For this rare opportunity, within the scope of his rights, he was so serious that it was outrageous. Fortunately, the main characters in this drama are not big stars. The small cost also has an advantage, that is, you can't afford it. Big-name stars, in the crew, don't worry about those big stars flirting with the director and having conflicts.Otherwise, based on Wen Sen's attitude, the big star would have already shut him up unceremoniously!

After Xiaoye Fan came to the United States to sign the contract with a total appearance time of no more than 3 minutes, he participated in a few parties in the Hollywood movie circle, followed his agent, and met those unfamiliar and familiar Hollywood stars, as well as Hollywood movies. People are polite without embarrassment.

At the same time, the three of Ning Tong, under the request of director Wen Sen, worked hard to show their acting skills, competing for their first Hollywood role!

"Liu Shishi, please act like you're scared after being teased and bullied by your classmates—"

"Zhao Liying, imagine that from being a neglected classmate, you are suddenly invited to join the orchestra by a man of the school, what kind of performance should you have——"

"Ning Tong, what I want is an introverted and timid student, not a confident school belle, understand?"

"Liu, if your parents disagreed with your participation in the orchestra, what kind of expression should you have when you were angry and dared not protest loudly because you were timid and introverted——yes, think about it, and substitute your emotions ——”

Needless to say, Vincent put a lot of effort into this film. When auditioning the three, after each performance, he would always make more specific requests. At the same time, through the performances of the three, he repeatedly Compare this to the best character in your mind.

On the other side, Schroeder has folded his arms and entered the mode of watching a movie. He feels that now he can consider what kind of remuneration he should give the other party. Although it is only a supporting role, the other party is indeed very famous in China. and after watching the performances of the three of them, Schroeder felt that maybe he could be bolder, and next time he could make a movie with more Chinese actors, or a movie with these three or one of them as an important role .

After all, every Hollywood film company is salivating at the prosperous Chinese market!
