Chapter 300 The Legend of Ancient Swords and Reba

Chen Sicheng was a little nervous, but his adaptability was good. He quickly thought of the words: "Thank you to the Toronto Film Festival and everyone on the crew of "The Invisible Guest". Winning the People's Choice Award means a lot to me. I would also like to express my special thanks to my Bole, Mr. Gu Zhongyu. Without him, I would not be able to stand here..."

At this time, the camera focused on Gu Zhongyu, who also raised his hand to greet the stage from afar.

Winning the Midnight Madness Award was finally a worthwhile trip. Although he was destined to miss the Oscar, Gu Zhongyu had never had such extravagant hopes. He would take his time in the future!

His ambition is not only to win one or two awards, but to first become familiar with others abroad, and then film Zongheng’s subsequent films one by one, so that these foreigners can gradually get used to Eastern faces, and then slowly accept their Film and culture.

As "12 Years a Slave" unexpectedly won the People's Choice Award, mainstream media in North America used all kinds of praise to describe the most important award at the Toronto Film Festival.

"The Invisible Guest", which won the Midnight Madness category, was also well received, and several media outlets appeared to analyze the reasons why the film won the award, implying that "12 Years a Slave" was actually somewhat unworthy of it. The position is won by relying on political correctness to coerce the public.

As a result, the discussion and controversy of "The Invisible Guest" has become fierce. The news has spread back to China, and netizens are also excited, complaining about Gu Zhongyu and others, which has fueled another wave of enthusiasm.

No matter what, I have benefited a lot this time and paved the way for the official release later.

The day after the Toronto Film Festival closed, Gu Zhongyu had already returned to China to make plans for his new movie, and he would just go to the United States to attend the premiere after it was released.

"The Invisible Guest" now has both awards and popularity, creating a huge momentum. Film producers in many countries and regions have approached Touchstone and want to introduce this film.

There are still almost two months until "The Invisible Guest" is released in North America.

Zongheng and Lionsgate have already started negotiations with distributors in many countries. In just over a week, distribution companies from more than 30 countries and regions have signed formal introduction contracts with them.

Although Lionsgate Pictures' film production capabilities are not strong, its overseas distribution capabilities are still very strong. Except for East Asia, they have negotiated cooperation business in other places.

This film is expected to appear in theater markets in at least more than 80 countries and regions, which is enough to ensure that the film will have a world-class influence.

This is the advantage of English-language films. It is easy to enter the market of other countries. Chinese-language films are extremely difficult in this regard. They are not as popular as Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s.

In this situation, no matter how good the quality of your movie is, what's the use if others can't see it?

Of course, we must first ensure that "The Invisible Guest" can arouse strong attention in the North American market.

With the development of Hollywood movies to this point, most movies must first be a hit in the North American market before they can cause a sensation in overseas markets, or at least ignite the movie market in the Western world.

The starring Gu Zhongyu is currently a hot Chinese actor and the boss of Zongheng, which can ensure the popularity of the film in the Chinese market. As long as the reputation of the film is not overturned when it is finally released, the two companies will make a lot of money!

……

At the filming site of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Da Mi Mi held a small fan and kept fanning himself.

It's too hot and I can't stand it!

The temperature in the Xiandu area of ​​Zhejiang Province in August has soared to 35 degrees. It is really a torture to film a fairy tale wearing thick clothes in this weather.

If I had known earlier, it would have been a while later.

It's all Gu Delai's fault, who persuaded her to buy the adaptation rights of "The Legend of Ancient Swords". Now that it's been launched for a few days, it's a done deal. It's him who made her suffer here on such a hot day.

"Come on, come on! The ice cream is here! Everyone has a share, and it will never fail~"

At this time, a girl who looked slightly chubby and wore Death Barbie pink lip gloss began to distribute ice cream to everyone. This was the female artist from Jiaxing, the actor Reba who played the male protagonist Tu Su's junior sister Fu Rui.

Last year, Yang Mi, who was gaining momentum, became a producer for the first time, and then sent his assistants to major universities to cast actors for the movie "Micro Era". Reba, who was tying her shoes downstairs in the dormitory, was discovered by Yang Mi's talent scout. .

Yang Mi fell in love with Reba as soon as she saw her. He also felt that this girl was very similar to him. She had the tenacity to fight for her career, so she immediately decided to support this girl.

After taking the ice cream from Reba, Yang Mi took the opportunity to let her sit next to him and chat with her.

"Sister Mimi, filming costume dramas is so hard. Have you always come here like this before?"

"What kind of hard work is this? It is said that Hengdian is hotter than Xiandu right now. We have already picked it up."

Seeing Reba still sweating while eating the ice cream, Yang Mi touched her face. Her fingers were all covered with powder, and the foundation fell off. Why is this child so afraid of heat?

"Why are you so afraid of heat? I remember that the temperature in Xijiang is also very high. How did you get here in your hometown?"

"Normally in my hometown, I would wear a skirt at this temperature, but we are not filming a costume drama, and I can't take off my jacket. It's all stuffy."

As he spoke, Reba opened the hem of his clothes, revealing the white pants he was wearing, which were almost soaked with sweat.

Da Mi Mi touched his forehead speechlessly, and then lifted up his hem. Inside was a pair of blue leggings, with his round and plump thighs uncovered. He was not wearing any other clothes, not even socks. Taken off.

Reba was shocked: "Ah! Sister Mi, why are you naked down here? If you are caught on camera, wouldn't it mean that you are naked?"

"Is there a possibility that the camera won't shoot down below you, and even if it does, the picture will be cut out, so it's okay to be cool down there!"

"Can't you just ask me? I told you that you were sweating profusely. After taking the photo for a long time, it turned out that you were the only one wearing such thick pants!"

"I thought it was for the sake of professionalism that everyone should dress like this, and they are all seniors in the entertainment industry. I was too embarrassed to say anything..."

Reba is still a young actress and does not have a separate makeup artist. The assistant is shared with other people, so when she puts on makeup and changes clothes, no one reminds her that she can do this. Yang Mi was so stupid that she cried, and asked: "Why are you so embarrassed to speak? The teachers in our crew are very easy to talk to!"

Reba lowered her head aggrievedly and said, "I think the teacher who played Ouyang Shaogong was a bit difficult to get along with..."

After hearing this, Yang Mi did not refute. In fact, her patience with someone was almost reaching its limit.

At this moment, the screenwriter Shao Sihan ran over angrily. When he saw Yang Mi here, he threw away the notebook in his hand and said, "Boss Yang, I can't stand it anymore. This Jia Nailiang is too much. I want to add another scene. If you add more, just let him play the male lead!"

"He's here again?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi frowned, sighed, comforted Shao Sihan for a few words, and then took him to find Jia Nailiang to solve the problem.

Because Li Xiaolu and Yang Mi have a good relationship, she invited people to guest star in the filming of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" this time. After Li Xiaolu learned about the show in detail, she felt that the team of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was not as good as The plot was good, and it should have the potential to be a hit, so I roped in my husband Jia Nailiang.

The joining of this husband-and-wife team was also a major highlight of the TV series and a publicity "gimmick," so of course Yang Mi agreed and let Jia Nailiang play the behind-the-scenes boss Ouyang Shaogong.

Jia Nailiang not only changed her avatar on social platforms to Ouyang Shaogong, but also stated many times that she is also an "ancient fan" and will treat this character well.

Moreover, Jia Nailiang himself invested some money and became one of the producers.

Originally, everything was moving in a good direction together, but I didn't expect that Jia Nailiang would start making trouble after joining the group!

Because Jia Nailiang is an investor in "Gu Jian Qi Tan". So while paying for the TV series, I also asked the director to add scenes for Ouyang Shaogong. Director Liang Shengquan was at a loss and could only agree to them one by one. However, once he agreed, things intensified, and Jia Nailiang kept asking to modify the script.

Soon, producer Zhong Junyan was dissatisfied with Jia Nailiang's extra drama. Firstly, the number of scenes like this is almost overtaking that of the male lead, Chen Xiao. Secondly, it is also because such additional scenes are different from Ouyang Shaogong's character, which is not conducive to the filming of the TV series. The two parties have quarreled twice over this, each time. Yang Mi came over to be the peacemaker and advised everyone to take a step back.

"Although the character Ouyang Shaogong is a villain, he is absolutely brilliant in the play. I don't think we can be so hasty..."

"If you add drama like this, you will soon catch up with Baili Tusu. What's the matter? Do you think Chen Xiao has no status, so you bully others?"

As soon as Yang Mi came to the office, she saw Jia Nailiang arguing with the female producer Zhong Junyan, Li Xiaolu helped her husband talk, the male protagonist Chen Xiaomo stood aside silently, and none of the other young actors dared to speak out.

"What's wrong with this again?"

When Jia Nailiang saw Yang Mi coming, he shouted excitedly: "Mi Mi, you are here just in time. There is a big problem with our script. I communicated with the producer and screenwriter, but I didn't expect them to go their own way and not listen to me at all!"

"Stop confusing right and wrong here. How many times have you changed the script just a few times since you've been here? Chen Xiao has a good temper and has tolerated your behavior of stealing his scenes. I didn't expect you to be dissatisfied. , I can’t even stand it this time!”

Li Xiaolu came over and took Yang Mi's arm: "Mi Mi, we need to have an explanation for this matter today. We can no longer be at odds with each other. You are the boss, so you need to be decisive."

Looking at Li Xiaolu, who is also a member of the "Teddy Sisters", Yang Mi felt a little disgusted at this time. You don't care about your husband's excessive behavior, but you still add fuel to my fire?

"Boss Yang, today there is him without me, there is me without him!" Zhong Junyan was also anxious and asked Yang Mi to choose between the two people, otherwise she would not be able to do the job of producer.

"Forget it, Producer Lin, let's just follow Teacher Jia's advice." Seeing Zhong Junyan stand up for herself in this way, Chen Xiao, who has always been withdrawn and passive, couldn't sit still, and took the two people's hands to try to persuade them to make peace. .

At this time, Yang Mi is in trouble. Jia Nailiang is an investor and starring role, and Zhong Junyan is the backbone of his company. Anyone who supports him will offend the other side. What should he do?

"Who is this? You can be so domineering on the set, but you don't take our boss Yang seriously!"

A familiar voice sounded at the door. When everyone saw it, it was Gu Zhongyu who had just returned from Canada. He was wearing sunglasses and followed by a pure and lovely girl.

Seeing it was Gu Zhongyu, the actors who were sitting and watching the fun all stood up and greeted him one by one.

"Mr. Gu, why are you here?" It seemed that the person was Gu Zhongyu, and Jia Nailiang was a little flustered.

In Yin Xiaotian's incident last year, he and his wife were among the people who intervened, but they didn't expect that Gu Zhongyu would actually stand up for Yin Xiaotian. Although they had many people to intervene, none of them could compare with this one. As a result, Wen Zhang and others They actually chose to confront Gu Zhongyu directly online, and they didn't know if Gu Zhongyu would hold a grudge against them because of this.

After the truth of the matter came to light, netizens were constantly scolding the couple. Now Jia Nailiang has learned the lesson and doesn't express his position online easily. He even asked someone to inquire about Gu Zhongyu's attitude towards the matter, but he didn't get any results.

Although they were from the same class at Nortel, Gu Zhongyu and he had nothing to do with each other. The relationship between the two was very weak. Jia Nailiang had long felt that this classmate seemed to look down on him.

When Yang Mi saw Gu Zhongyu coming, he had a backbone and asked happily: "Aren't you in Canada?"

"I just came back yesterday. I heard that your TV series was launched, so I stopped by to take a look. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I came in."

Gu Zhongyu had already learned the details from other people. Unexpectedly, Yang Mi in this life's "Gu Jian Qi Tan" still brought Jia Nailiang and his wife in.

Many netizens think that Jia Nailiang is a so-called honest person because of Li Xiaolu's hair style. But in fact, he is very different from Wang Baoxiang. People in the industry have known him for a long time. He is a follower. He is just a person who pursues fame and fortune, is good at acting in life, and returns the favor!

This guy is addicted to adding drama. In "The Most Beautiful Time" starring Zhong Hanliang, because of his "request", the screenwriter had no choice but to design three endings, and as the second male lead, Jia Nailiang also because of the ending After the change, under the "additional scenes", he was promoted from the second male lead to the second male lead, and the scenes were divided into those of the first male lead. Even the finale included many of his scenes.

In fact, things like "adding scenes" often happen on the crew. What this reflects is the issue of whether the actor is professional or not. If you feel that the characters are not three-dimensional enough or there are problems with the script, you should discuss it with the director or screenwriter before filming begins.

If you can change it, go ahead. If you can't change it, consider whether it can be performed.

Instead of waiting until filming starts, then the crew gets angry and asks for extra scenes, or even to the point of not acting if they don't get extra scenes. This is too unprofessional.
