my time as a director
Page 474
In the reception room, Xu Zheng, who has obviously put on weight, and his waist has grown a lot, is crossing his legs, leaning on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone. His bald head is a little greasy, and his face seems to have a layer of oil, and his beard is long. , almost half a centimeter.
Seeing Li Qian coming, everyone got up to say hello.
"Director Li."
"Everyone, sit down."
Li Qian smiled, called everyone to sit down, and looked at the sloppy Xu Zheng, "Brother Zheng, what's the matter with you, you just came out of the refugee camp?"
Xu Zheng put his mobile phone on the coffee table, and said with a smile, "Isn't this a greasy middle-aged man? Since Chinese New Year until now, I haven't showered, changed my clothes, or shaved my beard."
... Li Qian was speechless, he made such a ghostly appearance in the New Year's Eve.
But luckily it's winter, if it's summer, the house would stink.
"The collar of your clothes is almost covered with starch. Didn't you get blown out when you went to your mother-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings?"
"That's not the case, the old people who are engaged in art understand." Xu Zheng said.
Art, what a lofty word.
He glanced at Xu Zheng's mobile phone on the table. It was fighting the landlord. He was a farmer, and he seemed to be about to lose.
"Brother Zheng, that's not how the game is played."
Li Qian took the mobile phone, held it with both hands, leaned on the sofa, his head naturally dropped to one side, playing Doudizhu in boredom, glanced at the screen from time to time, and when he had played a card, he clicked and played a card casually.
In the end, it was a matter of course that he lost, and the fingers holding the phone in his right hand were flicked aside casually, and he began to look at the ground and the wall aimlessly, wondering what he was thinking.
My cell phone!
Xu Zheng felt pain in his eyes, and quickly picked up the phone that fell on the ground.
"In the opening scene of playing card games in the store, you can't act like you are really playing games. For business, playing games is just a waste of time, you have to look weak, and don’t play cards casually, just click casually.” Li Qian explained.
"Wasting time, are you exhausted?" Xu Zheng thought for a while, and then returned to the previous state, looking at the screen of the mobile phone with hazy, cloudy eyes and no focus. Suddenly, he moved his finger, tapped the screen, and was in a daze again.
"Look, is this Cheng Yong from the script?" Li Qian asked the others.
"It does look like it."
Hu Ge, Tan Zhuo, and Mr. Yang Xinmin nodded.
"It's a little tasteless." Huang Bo also saved some face for Xu Zheng, otherwise he should say "like a ball".
"Indeed, sloppy is sloppy, and it's also quite greasy, but it lacks a bit of frustration."
Li Qian thought for a while, "Change your posture, change to Ge Youtang or put one foot on the sofa and hands on your legs, or combine these two postures."
"This is a bit difficult." Xu Zheng thought for a while, and did as Li Qian said.
But if Ge Youtang was paralyzed on the sofa like that, his feet could only reach the edge of the sofa, and the sofa was still soft, so he had to use his strength to support his feet.
Seeing that Xu Zheng was holding back his posture, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Li Qian said, "Almost, when the time comes, the chair will be connected to you, and it will be wider. You are in this state with greasy face, cloudy eyes, and lack of energy. It's not bad, but the kind of frustration with no goal and no direction in life is almost meaningless."
"Understood, I'm looking for feelings." Xu Zheng nodded, in order to experience the life of a greasy middle-aged man, this year he made himself a person who was neither human nor ghost.
Paralyzed there all day long, not sleeping at three or four in the morning, waking up at six or seven in the daytime, not exercising, not taking a bath, eating and drinking too much, I almost feel like a useless person.
Even my wife disliked it and refused to let me go to bed.
But there is no way, I have never experienced this kind of state, even when I was in college, I am not like many depraved college students now, hiding in the dormitory every day to play games, watch small movies, and stay up all night, he did not have these things in his time.
I haven't experienced it, I can only experience it now.
Li Qian looked at the others again, Huang Bo was quite normal, this role was easy for him, mainly because of his appearance.
"Old Yang, is this in your hand?"
Mr. Yang Xinmin, who played the role of Pastor Liu, was holding a small notebook in his hand, and seemed to be muttering something all the time.
"Didn't I have an English line, and I don't know English, so I asked someone to mark it out in Chinese, memorize it slowly, and read it for me and recorded it for me. Listen to it more, and pay attention to the pronunciation." Yang Xinmin laughed.
"Ms. Yang, I don't insist on a standard pronunciation. The role of Pastor Liu has two sides. He is sympathetic to the patients, and he is glaring at the counterfeit drug dealers," Li Qian said.
Yang Xinmin has also been to church and visited patients during this period. Any kind-hearted person will feel sympathy when seeing the tragic situation of leukemia patients. This is easy to say.
Through chatting, Li Qian also found that they had made enough preparations during this period. Tan Zhuo had already started practicing pole dancing, and sprained his foot when he landed, but fortunately it was not serious.
Hu Ge still has to participate in the promotion of the Time Planning Bureau, but the film has been screened for half a month, and he is ready to start the plan to lose weight.
This is not weight loss through fitness exercises. Hu Ge has to be thin enough to describe a haggard state. If he is unhealthy and weak, he will not see muscles but ribs when he takes off his clothes.
Although there is no shirtless scene in the film, there are two different types of thinness, which can be seen without taking off clothes.
The big screen is not as easy to fool as a TV series. The people on the screen are twice the size of the audience, and every detail is exposed, and even the pits on the face can be seen clearly.
......
After chatting for a whole day, I analyzed each character and the plot of each stage with each member of the Yaoshen team, and formally signed the actor contract.
However, Xu Zheng, the protagonist, stayed on. As the core of the film, his burden was much heavier than anyone else.
However, Xu Zheng was not only concerned about the role, as a director, he began to care about the success of the movie.
"Director Li, didn't you say in front of the media that you wanted to hit Avatar's box office record, but I'm not the movie God of Medicine, and the commercial element is not strong."
"Whether a movie can sell well or not has nothing to do with commercial elements, and the perfect world commercial elements are not enough, but it doesn't affect its big sales at all. The most important thing is that it can resonate with the audience."
Li Qian shook his head, feeling a little strange again, "Brother Zheng, you are not a young artist, why don't you talk about the connotation of the movie, and talk about the box office with me?"
"What kind of young artist am I?" Xu Zheng laughed at himself, "Before this year, I always thought I was a young artist, but during this period of time, in order to find the status of the characters, I either ate, drank or played games at home. Hei, there are too many things to think about, I found out that when I was in college, most of the female students also liked young artists because of the popularity of art, so I became a young artist, and I am still a layman.”
"It was true in your era, either art youths or rock youths, and it was popular to write poems and chapters." Li Qian was not surprised, since the 90s had an average of art youths per capita.
At that time, I was too embarrassed to say that I was a college student without writing a few poems.
"Does it resonate with the audience? It means combining current events." Xu Zheng thought about it.
"Almost, a commercial film is to mobilize emotions. The Wulin rumors in the Spring Festival file used housing prices as the starting point for this purpose. In the end, the new Shaolin Temple arranged for a new villain foreigner in order to clear up Xie Tingfeng. It is almost the same reason. .” Li Qian said.
It’s no wonder that films like the New Shaolin Temple can sell well. The propaganda puts down the butcher’s knife and becomes a Buddha immediately. No matter how many mistakes you make, you just need to wake up.
The reason why foreigners are arranged instead of another group of warlords is nothing more than that compared with Xie Tingfeng's character, the audience will have stronger hatred for foreign enemies who invaded the country.
Although I agree with Li Qian's words, after all, many blockbuster movies are very touching, but Xu Zheng still smiled wryly, "But Director Li, are you serious about 13 billion?"
