This rich and powerful young master is not right for me [entertainment]

Ji Yan couldn't help laughing at He Qing: "Brother He, did you go from one place with bad signal to another place with bad signal?"

After being bitten by bugs for several months in the deep mountains and old forests, and then eating sand in the desert for several months, He Qing was thin and dark when we met this time, and the slimming effect was better than that of Ji Yan who was forced to go to the gym by Ye Ying. Also obvious.

Ji Yan felt that this matter must not be known by Ye Ying. Based on his understanding of his manager, Ye Ying might be very moved.

……

This is the first preview screening and media meeting of "Youth Love Poetry". The guests who came to the scene included the directors of various theaters, as well as some professional film critics and media representatives. After all, "Youth Love Poetry" is a low-budget literary film. This type of film is not popular in the market.

As a director, Zhu Shuguang has always been very confident in his films, but he also knows the possible box office trend after the film is released. The cost is not high, but the cost should be recovered as much as possible.

The number of guests attending the screening was much higher than Ji Yan expected, especially in the media area. There were many media, large and small, including professional and authoritative media, online media and some Internet media. Big V.

Lu Yu tapped Zhu Shuguang's shoulder silently: "It's different to find a popular actor."

Zhu Shuguang glanced at him: "I didn't look for Xiao Ji because of his popularity."

It's just that Ji Yan's popularity is higher than Zhu Shuguang imagined.

Zhu Shuguang's last movie "A Stranger Alone in a Foreign Land" had an acting school like Lian Huaishu join in, but the media attention was far worse than that of "Youth Love Poetry". Su Pan just joked with him, saying that the poster of the movie was not There's no need to take it seriously, just a photo of Ji Yan's headshot will do, and I'm sure many fans will be tricked into going to the cinema.

Zhu Shuguang: "..."

He really didn't realize that Su Pan was also a talent before.

As one of the main creators, Ji Yan sat in the first row of the auditorium, quietly waiting for the opening of the film. On his left was the director Zhu Shuguang, and on the right was the screenwriter Qin Zhen. The expressions on the faces of the two were the same calm, After all, they had experienced it more than once when the movie was released, but Ji Yan was a little nervous.

Ji Yan's mood when "Youth Love Poetry" was released was completely different from when "I, Nameless" was released. At that time, he was very ignorant about making movies. If it's not too bad, there won't be too many bad reviews, and in the end, the role of He Tang made him a success, and made him nominated for the Sky Award.

After all, acting as a leading role is different from acting as a supporting role. With "I, Nameless" in the lead, film critics and audiences will inevitably have higher demands on Ji Yan.

Zhu Shuguang contacted Ji Yan once after the film was finished, and said that Ji Yan's performance in the film was quite good, but Zhu Shuguang always spoke in the same tone no matter what he said, and Ji Yan didn't know whether the other party was praising him.

In short, the movie is about to be released, and he has to face it no matter whether he is scolded or praised.

……

The light in the projection hall gradually dimmed. In the auditorium, the film critics straightened up one after another, and their eyes were fixed on the screen at the middle door.

What first appeared in the field of vision was an extremely clear sky, the breeze blew through the trees, and the breath of sunshine and green grass rushed towards our faces at this moment. This is a small mountain village that is poor but has beautiful scenery. Under the lens of Su Pan, the mountain village The scenery is extremely beautiful, and each frame of the shot is like a flowing scroll.

Zhu Shuguang's works have always been like this, and the effort spent in them can be seen just from the pictures.

"It is said that the cost of this film is 2000 million?" Niu Cong, the film critic of "Movies Over Flowers", and Yu Meng, the film critic of "Movies", discussed in a low voice, "It seems that the money has indeed been invested in the film."

"It's not like you don't know about Zhu Shuguang. He only has 2000 million for him to shoot. If you give him [-] million, he can guarantee the effect of [-] million."

"It's a pity that no one dares to do it."

Zhu Shuguang has the ability to shoot 4000 million yuan, but this film may only get [-] million yuan at the box office.

The same is true for film critics participating in the previews of Zhu Shuguang's films. The red envelopes given are the average level in the industry, and they have never been given more. This month Niu Cong also participated in the previews of two films "Blade Hunter" and "The Lair" Yes, the red envelopes given by the crew are quite generous.

This is also the reason why so-called professional film critics are becoming more and more unprofessional. No matter what type of film the film critics are talking about, the audience can only be fooled after watching it.

Take the two blockbuster films released in early May as an example. In terms of quality, the domestically produced "Old Nest" is actually better than "Blade Hunter". A large part of "Old Nest".Of course, this approach can easily arouse the audience's rebellious psychology. The first weekend of May has just arrived, and the daily box office of "The Old Nest" has already surpassed that of "Blade Hunter".

……

In the movie, the story continues.

A strange child grew up in this mountain village. When his peers were having fun barefoot on the path between the mountain gates, he moved a chair and quietly looked at the starry sky, talking to himself or to the stars .

The actor who played Gu Shan when he was a child is somewhat similar to Ji Yan. Ji Yan's roles are staggered from the other party's, but Ji Yan hadn't left the crew when the other party joined the group. Tun is indeed quite similar to Ji Yan.

On the whole, the rhythm of "Youth Love Poems" is very gentle, everywhere is slow, like a quietly flowing river.

Then, Gu Shan grew up slowly and became a silent boy who still loved Xing Xing.

In the first scene of Ji Yan's appearance, daytime transitions to nighttime. During the daytime, Gu Shan is no different from any boy in the mountain village. When he was mixed with the crowd, Niu Cong from "Movie Over Flowers" couldn't help but widen his eyes. : "This is Ji Yan?"

Yu Meng nodded: "That's right."

What surprised them wasn't the character's makeup, or how much Ji Yan's face had changed, but...the character's temperament.

The change is really too big.

He Tang in "I, Nameless" and Gu Shan in "Youth Love Poems" are two completely different people.

Gu Shan is silent and dull. At least when Ji Yan played Gu Shan in the movie, Niu Cong didn't notice a sense of disobedience. It seems that Ji Yan grew up in such an environment.

"This acting is okay!" Niu Cong said with emotion, "No wonder he was picked by Zhu Shuguang."

Then there's the night scene.

When observing the stars, the childhood Gu Shan's gaze was full of the innocence of a child, while the boy Gu Shan... the film critics present were staring at the big screen, wanting to see what kind of performance Ji Yan would have.

On the screen, Gu Shan was looking up at the sky.

The night is extremely beautiful, the stars in the sky are twinkling one by one, Gu Shan looks at the stars obsessively, his eyes just happen to have a close-up at this moment - in the camera, his usually calm eyes are shining brightly at this moment, it is difficult to put into words To describe Gu Shan's expression at this moment, his figure seems to have shrunk at this moment - when looking at the stars, Gu Shan when he was a teenager has the same eyes as Gu Shan when he was a child.

It's not easy for an adult actor to do that.

But Ji Yan has the ability to interpret the innocence in Gu Shan's eyes. The other party's eyes looking at the stars are so devout that people are easily infected by this emotion.

In the adult world, it is not easy to really like something.

Ji Yan's eyes... Inexplicably, there is a feeling of scalp tingling, but his performance is not considered to be hard, nor does it feel very deliberate.

"That's why he's naturally suitable for filming, right?" Yu Meng sighed, "Just like him, if he's not from a major, he's acting in his second film, do you believe it?"

"If he didn't come out, I wouldn't believe it. Now that he has come out, how dare I not believe it?"

Acting in a literary film, it is not easy to have no sense of disobedience, not to mention that this role is still a role that is very different from Ji Yan himself.

As the plot progresses, Gu Shan's attitude towards life and family has many incomprehensible aspects, but Ji Yan just acts in such a way that it is difficult for people to hate him.

The play between him and You Kesi showed his highlights in acting——Facing You Kesi's outstanding performance, Ji Yan caught the play very well, and also made the image of Gu Shan even stronger. full.

When facing the starry sky, Gu Shan maintained a pious and awe-inspiring attitude from beginning to end, and Ji Yan played steadily throughout the performance.

He never collapsed.

Although the movie "Youth Love Poetry" has a gentle rhythm, Ji Yan's performance is quite layered and not thin. It's hard for viewers to get bored when his face is on screen.

At least under his interpretation, the role of Gu Shan is not annoying.

And when it came to the last scene, Gu Shan threw himself into the sea of ​​fire, between the starry sky above his head and the earth under his feet, his choice seemed to have changed, but this is also the question raised by the movie "Youth Love Poems" to the audience.

The final scene of the movie silenced the auditorium.

Until this moment, the character of Gu Shan gave people a feeling of emptiness. He never faced up to the real life and was immersed in his fantasies about the starry sky. But at the last moment, in the sea of ​​fire, Gu Shan seemed to be alive. After coming over, he clearly knew what he should do and made his own choice.

On the screen, Gu Shan, who was protecting the child, still seemed to have a smile on his lips.

He was cautious, still silent, but there was the awareness of facing death in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Yan himself was moved by this performance.

Now he believed what Zhu Shuguang said, and he did a good job in this movie.

But he suddenly discovered—from "I, Nameless" to this "Youth Love Poem", and then to the "Long Song When Weeping" that was filmed some time ago, it seems that none of his characters can survive to the end?

I feel that although his career as an actor is not long, he has already played the serious topic of life and death all over the place.

……

The entire preview of "Youth Love Poetry" ended, but no one made a sound at the scene. The film critics were also thinking about what kind of film reviews they should write, and the people in charge of the theaters were evaluating how to treat this film.

Is the movie bad?No, very good, the plot is not complicated, but the emotions of the characters and the depiction of human nature are very sufficient. It is a typical work of Zhu Shuguang.

Ji Yan's performance also greatly exceeded their expectations, and was countless times better than they imagined.

Thinking that this film may be cold in the market, film critics can't help but feel a little pity.

Niu Cong's notebook is already full of important points. He wrote three full pages, evaluating the overall plot, the performance of the actors, and the style of the film. "Movies Over Flowers" is not as commercial as "Movies". Pay attention to commercial films, and also pay attention to literary films. In Niu Cong's view, "Youth Love Poetry" belongs to the type of literary films with a relatively high degree of completion.

Niche literary and artistic films often give people the impression of moaning without illness. A film is incomprehensible from the front to the back. If you observe it with a magnifying glass, you may be able to see that the whole film is written with the word "pretentious".

When it's over, these people will still throw the pot away. The audience is not educated and can't understand their elegant art.

On this point, Zhu Shuguang is more likable. He shoots what he wants to shoot well. The audience can appreciate him and he is happy. If the audience doesn't like watching it, they can't stop him from continuing to shoot.

After finishing the frame, Niu Cong drew a big circle on the name Ji Yan.

I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime when I go back tonight.
