The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

The results of this year's Maple Leaf Awards have sparked heated discussions in the media. The fact that "1912" became the biggest winner did not exceed the industry's expectations. After all, judging from the movies released throughout last year, "1912" is definitely epic. of.

Gu Yu missed the Best Actor Award and Gan Wenye's award is also expected by the media. After all, Gu Yu just won the Maple Leaf Award for Best Actor not long ago, and if he becomes emperor for the second time at the age of less than 30, in the eyes of people in the circle, it is a bit It means to backfire.

Although everyone in the circle admits that with Gu Yu's strength, he is completely worthy of a new actor trophy.

……

After Gu Yu participated in this year's Maple Leaf Awards Ceremony, he waited for a while, and the feedback from the crew of "The World" finally came long overdue.

When the news arrived, Gu Yu was discussing the script with his agent. After the results of this year's Maple Leaf Awards came out, Gu Yu had a new script at hand.

The plot of the new script is somewhat similar to "The Kingdom of Money" and "Diamonds" by Gan Wenye, who won the best actor. They are both typical scripts of power and wealth struggle. The story of good and evil characters crazily fighting for money and power - the crew wanted to invite Gu Yu and Gan Wen to work together, just to take this opportunity to catch the heat of this year's Maple Leaf Awards.

This script is indeed well written. To some extent, it is more distinctive than "The Kingdom of Money" and "Diamonds". It is one of the better scripts that Gu Yu has received so far.

Gu Yu was also debating whether to agree or not.

"You make your own decision." The agent frowned slightly, "I never interfere with you in such matters."

Gu Yu sighed: "Now I finally feel that a good book is really rare."

The first two years probably belonged to the blowout period of the film industry. Good scripts emerged one after another. Gu Yu missed several. In the past two years, he clearly felt that the introversion in the entertainment industry was getting more and more serious. Once a good script was released. , Only more and more actors will grab it.

"Why don't you pick it up?" the agent suggested.

"Let me think about it again. This book is too close to "The Kingdom of Money."

There is another point that Gu Yu struggles with. After all, "Land of Money" has only been released recently. If he accepts a new script, someone will definitely compare this new script with "Land of Money" - this script is written by a famous director. Director, in terms of experience and word-of-mouth is definitely stronger than Yan Xiu. Once this movie is released, even if Gu Yu doesn't mean to compare the two movies, whether it is intentional or not, it will definitely hurt Yan Xiu.

Gu Yu is absolutely unwilling to be the knife that attacks friends.

"So it might not be suitable for me to accept this book." Gu Yu expressed his attitude to the manager, "To be honest, Brother Yan is actually more suitable. It depends on whether he has the courage to accept it."

Fang Jun: "I will talk to him."

At this moment, the manager's phone rang suddenly, he went outside to answer the call, and when he came back, he looked at Gu Yu with... an expression on his face.

"The role of "The World" has been decided."

"It has nothing to do with me?" Gu Yu asked, "I knew Director Geng was too demanding, and it really wasn't easy to accept his film."

"No." The agent shook his head: "You got it."

Gu Yu stared with confused eyes: "What?"

"You got the role of Zhao Zhao. From a young age to an old age, you are the only leading actor in the movie." Fang Jun couldn't help but said, "It is said that Director Geng praised you severely from the investor. The lead role was not decided, and the investor thought that the actor Director Geng who had auditioned before was not interested, and wanted to push someone else in, but Director Geng severely scolded you back and praised you again."

Gu Yu: "...I really don't understand what this person is thinking."

He thought Geng Ding didn't like him at all.

"There are not a few people in the circle who have this kind of thinking, but unfortunately they can't influence Geng Ding's decision."

In addition to Gu Yu playing the hero Zhao Zhao in the movie "The World", Qiao Xizhou also plays an important role in the movie-Zhao Zhao's former best friend and later enemy.

"No wonder Director Geng asked me if I would mind working with him." Gu Yu recalled for a moment, "At that time the role should have been decided."

"It's not bad, his movie is nothing else, a Maple Leaf Award nomination is impossible." Fang Jun patted Gu Yu on the shoulder, "Remember to restrain your temper when filming, no matter what your relationship is like before, good filming is the first priority bit."

"I know, I'm not a child." Gu Yu nodded, "I still have such a bit of professional ethics."

By this time, Gu Yu finally got the complete script of "The World".

His previous thoughts were indeed correct. In terms of completion, plot highlights, and thrills, "The World" is definitely first-class excellence.

——This is also Geng Ding's invincible weapon in the director circle for many years.

He himself is both a director and a screenwriter.

Geng Ding himself is a screenwriter, and he knows the importance of a good script. He has personally polished every movie script before him, and the actors are also selected by him—because he wrote the script himself, and he knows the actors. What are the characteristics that fit the script, so the characters selected every time are very suitable.

Gu Yuchang sighed: "My dream has finally come true."

He had worked with great directors like Zhao Hang and Ling Zhihuai before, but in terms of the degree of tension it brought him, Geng Ding ranked first and no one could rank second.

I don't know if it's the other party's keen sense as a screenwriter, but Gu Yu always feels that under the seemingly dull appearance of the other party, those eyes are always probing.

That's why he can choose the most suitable actors for each of his films.

"All in all, you should be prepared to endure hardships, but there is no need to be too anxious. Geng Ding's crews are generally formed very late, and they probably won't be able to join the crew for a while."

Gu Yu nodded: "Then I will leave more time for myself to polish the script."

In fact, after receiving the role invitation, the crew of "The World" pulled Gu Yu into the group.

One of the groups is a large group of the crew, and all affairs are notified inside, and the other group is a special group of actors, in which the director gives orders to the actors and arranges them to prepare for the shooting.

Geng Ding even has requirements for the actors' lines and speaking speed, and prepared two historical materials for the actors before shooting, so that the actors can better understand the filming era and background.

It was the first time Gu Yu met such a serious director.

He now understands how a movie like "Vertical and Horizontal" was made.

If every director is as serious as Geng Ding, among other things, at least in the current film market, there will definitely be a classic masterpiece.

However, as far as the current reality is concerned, there are still more bad movies than good movies in the movie market, and there is even a tendency for bad money to drive out good money.

……

The script of "The World", Gu Yu, plays the script with the most lines among the characters. In addition, many dialogues in the script are literary but full of deep meaning. When the actors perform, they need to consider not only the meaning of the lines themselves, but also the meaning of the dialogue Scenes.

In other words, memorizing lines is not just memorizing lines. From the moment you get the lines, the performance has already begun.

In this case, Gu Yu could only put himself in confinement.

The agent also knew that he had to prepare well for "The World", so he blocked all the invitations to Gu Yu during this period.

While reciting lines, Gu Yu wrote biographies of the characters, and at the same time followed the reference materials given by the director to integrate herself into that era——The film "The World" has a heavy feeling. After all, it is different from Fu Ji's "Jianghu". The story of "Jianghu" is completely fictitious, without a distinctive historical background, so there is not much preparation required before filming.

But "The World" is different.

Gu Yu is trying his best to make this film well. He likes "Zongheng" very much. Now that he has taken over the companion chapter of "Zongheng", he will regret his expectations if he doesn't treat it well.

Within a week, Gu Yu wrote a biography of a character.

He found it amazing that after reading the script of "The World", he had a preliminary understanding of the role of Zhao Zhao. At first glance, it was a kind of understanding, but slowly, the second time, he became more familiar with the role of Zhao Zhao. The characters have a different experience again.

——The lines are really memorable.

Gu Yu slowed down, read slowly, and grinded sentence by sentence until the end, the printed script was densely filled with notes, and he also memorized the lines very proficiently, almost entering the scene immediately after entering the play status.

He seems to have returned to the time when he made his first movie in his previous life. He is very serious. He memorizes every line fluently, but he also has a sense of excitement. He wishes he could turn on the phone now and start shooting the movie.

If you don't pay attention, almost a month has passed.

Gu Yu hardly stepped out of the house, and spent all his time thinking about the script. During the period when the Maple Leaf Awards ended, every winner and nominee had a follow-up. Only when he came to Gu Yu, he remained silent. Yes, there is no news.

"The mystery of the disappearance of the legendary Gu Shanyu."

"Actually, I'm used to it. Gu Shanyu who doesn't do this is not an authentic sweet potato at all. This is his style."

"I suspect that Gu Yu is doing something big in the dark, hiding quietly, and then surprising everyone. He must be like this."

"Upstairs, I thought so too."

The casting of "The World" has been rumored for a long time, but at that time, it was rumored in the industry that Gu Yu failed the audition, but no one connected "The World" with Gu Yu.

This is the effect that the crew of "The World" wanted. Geng Ding was really tired of the guessing media outside, so he directly told the actors in the group, so that they would not break the news outside.

Don't say who played "The World", and you are not allowed to reveal a little plot of the movie.

In fact, the protagonist of the movie is Gu Yu. Besides Gu Yu, Qiao Xizhou played the most roles. When Geng Ding said this, Gu Yu and Qiao Xizhou picked it up in the group one by one.

But there was no individual communication between the two of them.

Even though Geng Ding often @two people at the same time, linking their names together, since the two joined the group, it seems that the call has been interrupted.

Geng Ding probably understood the situation, but he didn't force them to cooperate.

However, the director beat the side drums from time to time, often emphasizing the importance of the word "cooperation" to the two.
