When Liu Shishi heard that Tianxiang's manager's treatment was so good, and that there was Mai Chong and Liu Yifei whom she knew, she thought of joining Tianxiang. She would have someone to take care of her, but she was afraid that others would look down on her. After all, she was not a professional. As an actor, I have not made up my mind to officially join the industry. I just want to find a professional to help me deal with my acting career, so that I can save myself a little girl from being deceived by the people in the entertainment industry. Now I am still As a junior, she may not make a choice between dance and acting until she graduates next year.
After listening to Liu Shishi's last cautious question, Mai Chong smiled heartily and said: "Of course, beautiful young girls like you are potential stocks, and actors who are not from a professional background also have the benefits of being a non-professional actor. Among the four small actresses in the country, Only Zhou Xun has a non-academic background, but people have the highest evaluation of her acting skills, because her performance can be done as she pleases without being constrained by the performance situation, which is difficult for actors with an academic background to do, and professional There are drawbacks to being professional, and there are also benefits to being amateur.¡±
Although I don¡¯t know Tianxiang¡¯s management principles and criteria for selecting people, as long as Mai Chong says a word, there should be no problem in letting Huo Wenxi accept Liu Shishi. He didn't expect to gain Zhou Xun, but Liu Shishi was considered his friend after all, and he would help if he could. Being in Tianxiang, at least he didn't have to worry about the messy unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. He never told his friends, and he also persuaded his buddies in the dormitory to join Tianxiang Agency, but they were hesitant. After all, Mai Chong is the leading actor of Tianxiang Agency, and all the superior resources must consider him first. Once he joins Tianxiang is bound to be obscured by Mai Chong's glory, which makes the brothers who are used to being on an equal footing with him feel that there will be some psychological obstacles.
After hearing what Mai Chong said, Liu Shishi was immediately full of confidence: "Then when can I go for the interview?" Although Mai Chong said so confidently, he was just an artist after all, and it would definitely not be possible for Mai Chong to join a big company like this with just one word. If it can be solved, Liu Shishi thinks that the necessary procedures must be followed.
"I will tell you the company address. Then you can directly tell the front desk lady that you are looking for Mr. Huo, and I will say hello to you in advance."
"That's great. If I pass, I will be your fellow junior sister. Then you and Xixi will have to take care of me as a junior sister." Liu Shishi smiled happily. She knew a little about the relationship between Liu Yifei and Mai Chong, so she brought Liu Yifei out at this time.
"Of course."
After finishing the call with Liu Shishi, there was a burst of warm applause in the auditorium. It seemed that the part where Liu Yifei danced in her palms was played. Mai Chong walked in from the back door. He couldn't run to the front anymore. Zhu Yawen and Lu Fangsheng happened to be there. In the corner of the back row. Mai Chong squeezed with them. Because he had watched it too many times, he couldn't help but spoil it many times, which made him annoying, but he never tired of it, "I will take a shower with Zhang Ziyi next, and then" Another spoiler.
After the two-hour movie ended, Mai Chong and all the creative staff came to the stage amidst the applause of the audience. Sit in front of the table that has just been set up and accept questions from the teachers and students of the film school in the audience.
The main problem for acting students with lively personalities is facing several actors, especially senior brother Chen Kun. Chen Kun was a famous figure in the film school back then. Like Mai Chong, he was the squad leader of their class and left many legends for the junior students. Moreover, the character Yu Wenyong he played was very much to their liking. He was ambitious and stayed away from his beloved wife for the sake of power. At the same time, he also wanted to After getting rid of the opponent, he can tolerate his wife's love affair with the enemy, but his attitude towards his wife afterwards makes people feel that he is also a pitiful person. This kind of complex character is very difficult to act and it is a test of acting skills. But Chen Kun completed the task very well, making people remember this gloomy emperor role in this drama with many supporting roles.
Students in the Department of Literature focused their attention on Liu Mazi, and even Professor Mei Feng, who had been taught by Liu Mazi, expressed a strong interest in this half-fictional, half-true story created by Mai Chong. Liu Mazi tells a story about finding the true self and courage through the mask. Wearing the mask is to let the Buddha possess you, making you unstoppable. Taking off the mask shows the opposite character, even a bit cowardly, giving in step by step in the face of the emperor's oppression and being submissive.
He was superstitious about the magic power of masks, but lost his true self because of this superstition. However, with the help of Ashinadao and driven by the magic power of love, King Lanling gradually realized that the real power could make him stand out on the battlefield. It's not the mask that makes you invincible in any battle, it's your own heart. At the end of the movie, King Lanling, who lost his mask before the decisive battle, used actions to show his true intentions. This design sublimated the theme of this lively and tragic feature film, which is also tragic and tender. The best thing is that high-level audiences can see the connotation, and low-level audiences can enjoy it even if they cannot see the connotation.It is the ultimate audio-visual feast, whether it is a big war scene or a sentimental love scene, whether it is the wonderful performances of many stars or the beautiful architecture, costumes and art design, it can make people feel like watching this movie Definitely worth the price of admission.
Several students in the directing department mainly pointed the finger at Director He Ping. Many future great directors raised their own questions. Shi Weicong, a 02-level directing student who is familiar with Mai Chong, asked a question about how Chinese films rose to the forefront of world cinema. question. When Shi Weicong said this question, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone in the audience turned their attention to He Ping.
This question is a bit big, but it¡¯s the right person to ask. In the more than ten years since he didn¡¯t make movies, He Ping has been committed to connecting Chinese films with the world film market, promoting Chinese films overseas, and seeking overseas funds for mainland films. What he has done There is something in common with what Shi Weicong asked.
He Ping did not directly answer Shi Weicong's question, but told everyone some small details of his cooperation with Tianxia Pictures. In fact, he was also talking about every detail of the movie "Lanling Mask" from scratch, with emphasis on The professionalism shown by the Tianxia Pictures team in creating this film includes the script adjustments and modifications made by the screenwriter, director and colleagues in the creative department after Liu Mazi came up with the script in response to the market; including strong financial support, which allowed the crew to The journey was smooth, and every step could be completed in the shortest possible time. Money issues never delayed the filming progress. The company's execution was very strong; of course, the world's professional application of new technology also shocked him.
"I'm not just saying these nice things in front of Mr. Ou. This cooperation with Tianxia Pictures also gave me a lot of feelings. Chinese people have been making movies for so many years, but why are they declining more and more? In 2002, "Hero" was Chinese-language movies were a shot in the arm, but before that, the domestic film market, whether in Mainland China, Hong Kong or Taiwan, was in a state of sluggishness. Hollywood movies were so popular, but to put it simply, they didn¡¯t know why they were making movies. Why make movies? To make people watch! Only when people like to watch, can the vitality of movies be lasting and strong, and more people can invest in this industry. The people I am talking about here include not only Chinese people, but also Foreigners. Hollywood can make their movies popular all over the world. Why can¡¯t we, with five thousand years of splendid civilization, conquer the British, Americans, and Japanese with Chinese movies! Although the strength of culture is closely related to the strength of the country, it is not Absolutely, Americans are definitely not forcing people around the world to watch Hollywood movies with atomic bombs. Hollywood movies can break through language barriers and expand their influence to the world mainly because they are beautiful, understandable, and can be viewed regardless of race. , the nationality satisfies the appreciation taste of most people. This is a skill. A skill of telling stories. Don¡¯t we Chinese have this skill? My answer is: Yes! Even if there are such big cultural differences, but Our four classics and other classical classics are also widely spread in the West, and have a huge readership and numerous research institutions. So I believe that as long as the stories are well written, our movies can completely spread across the East and the West! Students may say that our film technology lags behind that of the West, but what do you think of the technology in "Lanling Mask" that you just saw? Is it exciting enough?"
"Enough!" This is what the students said sincerely. The picture may not be as beautiful and artistic as "Hero", but it should be more difficult to shoot.
"But these are all made by our own domestic companies. No matter in the early or late stages, we do not rely on overseas companies at all. Our nation has the quality of being diligent and studious, and the West's blockade of these film technologies is not very serious. Chinese students in the United States Those film schools can all learn it. As long as we are willing to learn, why can't we learn it? As long as we have the determination to improve, how can our film technology not improve! As long as we make movies sincerely, how can our movies have no hope!"
There was thunderous applause, and Shi Weicong was particularly hard-working in filming. He had seen the Xuantian Base with his own eyes and had a deeper understanding of it. The mechanical equipment he had never seen in the academy's books gave him full confidence in the future of Chinese films. He Ping did not directly answer how he made Chinese-language films rise, but he thought he no longer needed any standard answers. After graduation, he would join the ranks of directors, possibly starting as an assistant or even a scriptwriter. After ten years or so, he might be able to find a company. Don't worry, let yourself make some small-investment movies. After a few more years, when you have the qualifications, some big productions may fall on your shoulders. As long as you strictly control the script, make proper use of technology, and don't treat the audience as a fool, Making money with mentally retarded movies and using your 120% ability to make movies, even if you have made a small contribution to the rise of Chinese-language movies, as long as Chinese directors have their own thoughts, small power The collective energy is also great. By then, excellent Chinese films will be released frequently and the box office will be soaring. By then, Chinese films will also be on the rise.
The screening of "Lanling Mask" at Nortel was very successful, especially the teachers and students of the school and the film.The question-and-answer session of the forum allowed many young minds to collide with sparks of passion. Some directing students who plan to enter the advertising directing industry are also re-planning their futures. Shi Weicong touched his senior brother Zhou Jiankui and said, "How are you, Zhou Jiankui?" Senior brother, do you still want to join an advertising company?"
A young man named Zhou Jiankui smiled helplessly and shook his head, "I admit that I was bewitched by Director He Ping. It seems that I have to think carefully about how to reject Brother Wu Ershan." Just a few days ago, Wu Ershan, a senior in Nortel's directing department, Zhou Jiankui was also a little interested in inviting Zhou Jiankui, who is now quite talented, to join his advertising company. After all, Wu Ershan promised to let him start directing commercials as soon as possible, which meant that he would soon be able to live a small and prosperous life. days, but after watching "Lanling Mask" today and listening to He Ping's words, he found that he still couldn't give up his love for movies. Although the commercial director made money quickly, he could not fully display his talent after all. Maybe I will be stuck in movies for the rest of my life.
After the show, the hospital, represented by Vice President Wang Jinsong, strongly urged the film crew, Irving and He Ping, to go out to have a meal. Naturally, Mai Chong and Chen Kun, two Nortel students, had to accompany them obediently. Fan Bingbing was also generous enough to stay and eat together. Had a casual meal. Mai Chong had no choice but to say sorry to Zhang Zilin that he could no longer accompany her, and then asked Xiaoyu to send Duoduo home. Duoduo saw that Mai Chong didn't spend much time with her the whole night, and pouted so much that Lao Gao was jealous. Yes, it seems that he has a lot of opinions about Mai Chong.
Mai Chong had to pretend not to see it, it¡¯s hard to raise a little girl! To be continued. .
