my time as a director

In June, Zhou Xingchi's first scene started in the studio.

There is no need for Li Qian to say anything more, one and a half months is enough for Zhou Xingchi to understand this role thoroughly, and actors of this level don't need many.

"The first scene, one shot at a time!"

"start!"

The shooting started directly, a very simple shot, a person was sitting there, and a camera was facing his face for a close-up.

You don’t even need to change your makeup, hairstyle, or clothes. The only thing you need to do is to make him look older. After all, the show has lasted for 30 years. Those who can do this show must be powerful producers who have this resource And connections, it is an exaggeration to have this ability in your 30s.

Fortunately, Zhou Xingchi's half-white hair already looked old.

On the monitor, Zhou Xingchi spoke calmly.

"We're tired of the actor's mannerisms, and we're tired of all the explosions, car chases, and CGI.

In some respects, although Truman lives in a fictional world, he himself is not fake at all. "

Speaking of Truman, Zhou Xingchi's eyes gradually became brighter and he was very proud of the miracle he created in the past 30 years.

His tone began to lower, and his speech speed slowed down, as if he was describing his great achievements.

"There is no script, no teleprompter, but it's true. This is a memoir of life."

"Pass!"

Just go through it once, Zhou Xingchi's performance just now was impeccable, as if he was talking about a work of art he created.

There was no problem, so I started the next shot directly, not to mention killing Zhou Xingchi's prestige, deliberately reshooting several times, it was unnecessary, and there was no contradiction, the crew was very harmonious.

The next shot of Zhou Xingchi was a remote video interview in the monitoring room. Zhou Xingchi was also allowed to rest for half an hour before filming.

"The income of this program is astonishing, equivalent to the annual gross national product of some small countries." The host talked about the situation of the program.

Regarding this, Zhou Xingchi was not very proud, but said, "But you have to know that this program also needs a country to maintain it."

The host continued, "It is broadcast 24 hours a day without any commercials, so all the income comes from the placement of advertisements?"

Zhou Xingchi nodded, "Indeed, everything on the show is for sale, clothes, shoes, TVs, refrigerators, cars, anything that appears on the show."

"I would like to ask, why did Truman never find out the truth?"

"Everyone will accept the reality in front of them, it's as simple as that." Zhou Xingchi said it as a matter of course, and the tone here was also lowered, as if he was talking about a philosophy of life.

Zhou Xingchi's performance was similar to Li Qian's previous thinking about the role. The only adaptation was that he acted more naturally and corrected himself.

And when performing, although most of them are expressionless, Zhou Xingchi's expressionless face is not like usual. When he is expressionless in normal times, he will appear very melancholy, as if he is in a bad mood.

But as soon as the filming started, all the melancholy disappeared, even though his face was expressionless, you could see his pride and his superior look.

He is playing a god who is in charge of everything, there is no redundant expression, there is no emotion, but it can be felt. When talking about Truman, the expression hardly changes, but the speed and tone of speech are a little subtle Change, give people a different feeling.

I took two shots and took a break.

Zhou Xingchi, who had been sitting and resting, suddenly said, "Perhaps Truman is not the focus of this world, but advertising is."

"How to say?" Li Qian asked.

Zhou Xingchi shook his head, "The audience is attracted by the false "real" Truman, and they are willing to pay time, emotion, and money for the utopia in their hearts. Truman.

But once this layer of sugar coating is peeled off, there are all kinds of advertisements inside, all kinds of moral kidnapping, and the pursuit of capital by capitalists. "

Li Qian said with a smile, "Just like the reality, celebrities create various personalities for themselves, whether they are innocent, or strong women, or domineering, all in order to attract audiences and let them act in movies, TV shows, and endorsements for themselves." advertising bill."

The reason is very simple, Fan Binbin said that I don't marry a wealthy family, I am a wealthy family, and I have attracted many fans, they are all the same.

"With the development of the Internet age, strong communication, and rich life, it is estimated that more and more celebrities will shape their characters to "cheat" fans' money, and it is even possible for capitalists to find ways to create one by one that meets the audience's requirements. When a star comes out, it's like the producer created a Truman to sell commercials."

Li Qian thought for a while, and his eyes lit up, "For example, people's lives are rich, the Internet is developed, and there are more and more young netizens who don't have the perfect ability to distinguish, which is equivalent to a crop of mature leeks.

The capitalists created "Trumans" one by one. These Trumens are sickles. With these sickles, they can harvest the leeks of the fans. The leeks grow one after another, and the sickle is blunt. For example, Truman ran out , They will also create other Trumans, and use these new sickles to continue harvesting leeks. "

"Sickle and leek?" Zhou Xingchi was amazed by Li Qian's idea, he didn't expect to be able to define it in this way.

In this way, in the movie, Truman is the sickle, and the countless viewers watching the live broadcast are the leeks. The capitalists hold the sickle and harvest the leeks one after another.

Zhou Xingchi was in admiration, thanks to Li Qian, his ideas are always so unexpected, and quite reasonable.

Chapter 385 Finalization and Zhou Xingchi's Sequel

As July approaches, the summer vacation is approaching, and the atmosphere in the film industry is gradually changing. The flames of war in the summer vacation have already begun to ignite.

For some uncompetitive films, in order to avoid the popular summer schedule, many of them were released in June.

It's better to be the chicken head than the phoenix tail. Rather than go to the summer stalls to pick up some scraps to eat, it's better to be the king in June.

Yu Le and Huang Qiusheng, the two leading actors with the initial d, starred in a car driver.

The ruffian hero starring Huang Bo, Zhao Youting and Yang Ying is also released.

This is the first time starring friends Zhao Youting and Yang Ying.

In the past one or two years, there has been an obvious phenomenon that low-budget movies released in the off-season, but not the kind of movies that go for a three-day trip to the theater, are mostly starring young actors.

The market is getting bigger, major companies are making more films, and young actors have more and more opportunities to appear on the big screen. It can be regarded as born in the right era.

However, even in June when there were no blockbuster films, these films did not get much box office. The ruffian hero starring Huang Bo only made 4600 million in the first six weekends.

The reason why it doesn't go to the popular schedule is mainly because there are no high-profile movies at this time, so you can post announcements and brag as much as you want.

During this period, Zhao Youting and Yang Ying had a lot of drafts, all of which overshadowed the leading actor Huang Bo, and they were all bragging about the two new generation actors.

If you go to the summer vacation, not only will you not be able to compete at the box office, but also don’t think about all kinds of drafts. There are blockbuster movies and big stars paying attention, and the audience will not care about a few newcomers.

Promoting newcomers is also one of the goals of the movie. The movie may not make money, but if it gets some fame, it can make money for the company.

However, July is approaching, and the upcoming blockbuster films have begun intensive promotion, competing for one of the most popular schedules of the year.

Painted Skin 2 was the first to be released, and it was also the first to start publicity. With the basis of the previous work here, it is naturally a huge topic, and the fans of Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun's debate about the fan position also fueled the popularity of the movie. went up.

For the matter of who is the heroine, the teams, the person, and the fans of both sides have been fighting since the last movie, and Huayang Media is also deliberately looking for trouble.

Suddenly put up a poster with Zhou Xun's name first, and then Zhao Wei first.

Or there are two people's heads on the poster, this one is in front of this poster, and the other person is in front of another poster.

The Four Famous Detectives starring Deng Chao and Liu Yufei, Cheng Kai's search, and Da Wudang starring Yang Mi and Zhao Wenzhuo, the combined heat team is not as good as Painted Skin 2, it's a complete hang-up.
