ideal entertainment circle

Zhang Dali couldn't tell the reason for Chu Qiu's question.

The experiences of Chu Qiu and Qi Tianrui are quite special. There are many things that Zhang Dali doesn't know, and Chu Qiu himself doesn't know anything.

"I think you should ask Qi Tianrui directly." Zhang Dali said.

Chu Qiu remained silent.

In fact, he asked, but Qi Tianrui didn't give him a clear answer—probably because he didn't ask accurately enough.

Zhang Dali looked at Chu Qiu's dull look, and asked him, "Then what do you think?"

Chu Qiu was at a loss for a while, then shook his head lightly.

he does not know.

"Actually, I like this thing. There are not so many reasons. If I like it, I just like it." Zhang Dali spread his hands, "When I was chasing you, Sister Liu, I couldn't figure out why I liked her, but I just thought it was her. .”

Chu Qiu blinked lightly, and finally said, "But I'm not worth it."

Zhang Dali felt that what Chu Qiu said was particularly bad.

He pretended to be thinking, pursed his lips for a while and asked, "Do you like your aunt?"

Chu Qiu nodded without hesitation.

"Why do you like it?" Zhang Dali asked.

Chu Qiu thought for a while and replied, "Auntie is good to me."

"Qi Tianrui is also kind to you." Zhang Dali said, "I am also kind to you, your sister Liu is also kind to you, and your brother Liu is also kind to you. The stars and the moon, which one is not good to you?"

Chu Qiu slightly widened his eyes, "That's different."

Zhang Dali smiled, "Why is it different?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dali asked again: "Ask you again, why do you like your aunt?"

Chu Qiu was stunned by the question, his mind was running, but he really couldn't think of a specific reason.

After a while, he muttered and replied, "That's my aunt."

"That's right." Zhang Dali clapped his hands, "Qi Tianrui likes you, isn't it because you are you?"

Chu Qiu looked at Zhang Dali in bewilderment, and instinctively felt that something was wrong, but logically it seemed to be true.

"I like this feeling. It's really hard to find a specific reason." Zhang Dali restarted the car, "Isn't it normal for a good-looking and powerful person like Xiao Qiu to be chased by others?"

Hearing Zhang Dali's praise, Chu Qiu couldn't help reaching out and touching his ears, feeling a little warmth.

"Alright, alright."

Zhang Dali stepped on the gas pedal, gloating a little distressed and subtle at his childhood.

Back then, he pursued his wife hard for five full years, and finally got together for two years. When he was ready to see his parents achieve success and receive the book, Liu Wenqing kicked him out of the house no less than five times!

If Qi Tianrui managed to catch Chu Qiu smoothly, Zhang Dali felt that he would be angry at this matter for decades.

But thinking of Qi Tianrui's voice of aggrieved Bala when he called just now, Zhang Dali felt very tormented in his heart.

Mr. Dali sighed, and decided to let the two of them toss——Chu Qiu seems to be a little enlightened, so Mr. Qi will pry slowly.

"I guess Qi Tianrui failed in his confession. Take your time with the emotional matters. Don't be influenced by him to overturn your audition." Zhang Dali reminded.

Chu Qiu nodded, and also put his mind away.

……

A good actor is able to control his emotions well.

When he saw Director Wei and Elder Jin, Chu Qiu had regained his composure, and politely greeted the two seniors who were old enough for him to call him uncle.

It was the first time for Jin Lao and Chu Qiu to meet. He looked at this young man with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he was.

The place they met was very casual, it was a box in a tea house, and they didn't bring a camera, so they brought a small DV over.

They came over to chat and drank half a cup of tea. Seeing that Chu Qiu seemed to be in good condition, Director Wei said, "You know the audition clip?"

Chu Qiu nodded.

The audition segment is three shots.

The first scene is a high-spirited, sincere young man full of hope for the future, determined to stay abroad, and bring advanced ideas and science and technology back to the motherland, hoping to restore the precarious and turbulent land.

The second shot is of a young man who has come back from abroad and is bumping into walls everywhere. He has not become smooth and blunt because of the reality, but sharpened his edges and corners. Curved spine.

The third scene is a poor middle-aged man, poor and hungry, but still unwilling to give in to the status quo, gritted his teeth and kept tossing around in various newspaper posts, writing manuscripts and books, trying to arouse people's enthusiasm with ridicule. Indignant, undisguisedly confronted the newspapers that flattered Shangfeng without disease and groaning, fighting against each other, desperately eager for the dispirited young generation to regroup and restore the country.

Elder Jin asked very considerately: "Is there anything that needs to be explained?"

Chu Qiu shook his head and smiled shyly.

Of these three shots, the first one is all eye scenes, the second one tests his line skills, and the third one is to judge whether his acting path is wide enough.

After all, Chu Qiu is still young. In addition to the use of young actors in the script, director Wei hopes to be able to play the protagonists of the four periods of youth, middle and old age by himself.

After all, it's not performed by one person, so there will still be some violations.

But would Chu Qiu be afraid of this?

Of course he is not afraid, the sincere young man, the sharp young man after losing his innocence, the poor middle-aged man who has always stood firm on his back.

Mr. Model Worker has acted in all of them. He has a very rich material library for his reference. In addition, the preparation period of more than a month after getting the script of "Wen Hao" is enough for Chu Qiu to shape the image of this character well, and in the There was a back and forth in my mind.

Director Wei took out the DV and set it up.

"Okay?" Director Wei asked.

Chu Qiu took a deep breath and nodded.

Zhang Dali has watched Chu Qiu perform many times, and he knows how stable Chu Qiu's state and psychology are.

After Director Wei called out to start, the shyness on Chu Qiu's face disappeared suddenly.

Chu Qiu raised his hand slightly, and held it in front of him, as if he was clasping the railing to look into the distance. There was clearly nothing in his hand, but his knuckles seemed to turn white from exertion, and his lips trembled slightly.

The young man's eyes were full of anticipation and pride, and there was an excited smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, revealing the anticipation and tight reluctance of a wanderer.

His back was straight, and it seemed a little deliberate, as if he was supporting himself, trying to make himself look taller and stronger.

His eyes gradually drifted away. Finally, it seemed that he could no longer capture the distant hometown. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared for a second, and climbed up again on his cheeks. Disappeared.

He looked at the horizon and looked there silently. Finally, he straightened the corners of his mouth, tightened his face, raised his hands like a fighter about to go to the battlefield, clenched his fists, and placed them by his temples.

With trembling voice and reddish eyes, he swears softly in front of the deserted sea: "...I will return with hope."

After reading it, Zhang Dali breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea.

Director Wei and Elder Jin were stunned—Chu Qiu's performance was far, far better than they had imagined.

The lens will always magnify some shortcomings infinitely, and because of the equipment and lighting, some things will be distorted to some extent. The real post-production film is played once as a whole, so that you can clearly feel the smooth acting skills of the actors. The shots, unless some particularly classic clips, will weaken the performance of the actors to a certain extent.

Both Director Wei and Mr. Jin have a high tolerance for Chu Qiu. Both of them have seen Chu Qiu's shots, and they have some understanding of Chu Qiu's acting skills.

They had never seen Chu Qiu's real acting skills, and they had high expectations for Chu Qiu, but they were not particularly high.

Although Director Guo and Director Liu are full of praise for Chu Qiu, but Chu Qiu is young!

No matter how good the talent is, where can young people who haven't played in front of the camera for a few years go with excellence?

"Now I understand why that old guy Liu Aiguo said that there will be no problem finding you..." Director Wei finally came to his senses and turned off the DV shooting. of?"

Chu Qiu smiled, not surprised by such a question.

Stretching his neck, Mr. Jin stared at the replayed footage on the DV, smacked his lips in satisfaction after watching it once, and wanted to watch it again.

Director Wei took the DV back and glared at his old friend: "There are still two more shots!"

"It's okay, you can take pictures." Jin Lao said, taking out his mobile phone and pointing it at Chu Qiu.

Chu Qiu: "..."

Chu Qiu naturally took this role.

"For our side, the budget is still close, and we have to pull out two more investments, plus the preliminary preparations. It is estimated that the filming will start in May next year." Director Wei said a little embarrassed, but he still said it with an old face. , "Chu Qiu's salary will definitely be much higher in May next year, can we sign the contract as soon as possible?"

This made Zhang Dali love to hear it, but he would not want Chu Qiu to suffer a loss in terms of income.

The face of the big senior must be given, but it cannot be made a big step.

Moreover, it is difficult to attract investment for this kind of drama, and everyone knows the difficulty.

The two parties debated and finally settled on a price that both parties could relatively accept.

"Okay, I'll send you the contract as soon as the contract is drawn up in a few days!" The two seniors who saved money and got a surprise were so happy that they almost flew up, Director Wei had a serious face, "Dali, you can't cheat me. "

"Okay, okay." Zhang Dali nodded, "Just send the contract as soon as possible, and we will definitely get it done quickly!"

Jin Lao happily added Chu Qiu's WeChat, saying that he would recommend some books related to this literary giant later, so that he could do more homework.

Picked up a cheap Wei Dao, turned around and ran out to call grandpa to sue grandma for investment.

Get the investment as soon as possible and start filming as soon as possible and release it as soon as possible. Whether it hits the street or explodes, it doesn't mean early death and early death.

And Chu Qiu, who was taken away by Zhang Dali, was staring at his schedule, staring at the blank period from January to May next year in a daze.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Dali asked.

"Schedule." Chu Qiu showed him a bunch of blank schedules.

Chu Qiu's role in "Taijing" was completed in early January, and the schedule from December to January was cut into pieces, mainly because Chu Qiu's roles were mainly literary dramas in the studio, There are only [-] scenes of exterior scenes, and there are a little more scenes in the film and television city than the exterior scenes, but not much.

Afterwards, there was a blank period until May, when the filming of "Wenhao" started, and it was almost half a year of vacancy, which was quite bad for actors.

"Did you forget that you still have a script in your hand?" Zhang Dali asked, "And if it goes well, you probably will have a lot of promotion for "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" in the first half of the year."

Chu Qiu looked at his schedule and said, "The filming of "Born to the Sun" will start in late January, right?"

Zhang Dali calculated the time, and there are still two months left. This kind of movie does not need special effects or publicity. It mainly relies on the acting skills of a few leading actors. In terms of production, it only needs to be properly shot, edited, and well-made low-cost movies. The cost of several million is luxurious configuration, and a little bit of 100 million is worth it, so the shooting and production cycle is also very short.

"You think you can do it. Has the director thought of someone?" Zhang Dali asked.

Chu Qiu had already thought about it, and he replied, "Guo Kuang."

Guo Kuang is Guo Meng's younger brother. He is different from Guo Meng who likes to shoot all kinds of wide open and close shots with dignified and bright colors, which are very bright at first glance.Guo Kuang's lens is extremely delicate and beautiful, and the color looks like a warm sun on the pale and cold snow, which is bitingly cold and always has a little warm hope.

When Chu Qiu saw the script at the time, he felt that if Guo Kuang came to shoot it, it would be amazing.

After all, Chu Qiu used to make award-winning literary films, so he and Guo Kuang are old buddies.

However, Chu Qiu felt that with Guo Kuang's habit, the script in his hands would definitely be adjusted to some extent.

Because Guo Kuang doesn't like complete darkness, just like his shots, he is always used to leaving a hopeful blank space in the movie.

No matter how sharp and intense Guo Kuang's film is, after watching the whole film, you will feel that you can still hold a trace of warmth in the trembling cold sweat.

And that trace of warmth is enough for people to draw hope of living in a sad and cold world.

When he saw the script, Chu Qiu thought, if this script was put in Shen Ming's place, he would not shoot it, because it would be a waste to shoot it.But if he can change the director, he must change to Guo Kuang.

Guo Kuang took him to the throne of best actor in his previous life, but he has been with him for several years as the best director. This is also a little regret in Chu Qiu's heart.

But this script is definitely an opportunity for Guo Kuang.

Such a low-cost film can be completed in one month if it goes well, and if it is produced quickly, it can still meet the final deadline of the Yar Film Festival next year.

Let alone the question of whether he can win an award, as long as he can get a nomination at the Yar Film Festival, it is enough for Guo Kuang to completely open the door to international awards.

Looking at Chu Qiu's pensive look, Zhang Dali raised his eyebrows: "I used to know Guo Kuang very well?"

Chu Qiu shook his head.

In terms of familiarity, he is really not familiar with Guo Kuang, and he can even count the number of exchanges.

Guo Kuang is a kind of withdrawn artist character, he is too lazy to talk except for necessary communication, and always has a posture of "you stupid mortals can't understand me at all".

Even though Chu Qiu has collaborated with him on four films, the two of them, apart from the exchange of films, chatted during the filming, which can be counted with two palms, the kind of numbers.

And after the four films, the two of them didn't even exchange contact information, not even a polite Weibo exchange.

"But he brought me the best actor." Chu Qiu said.

The author has something to say: Zhang Dali: The strange friendship between two or two socially handicapped people?

Chu Qiu: ...No, he is probably just a simple second child.
