It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1046: Blocking the door? The comedian's acting skills... Dimensional strike! Good news from the Cannes International Film Festival!

"Wow, Xixi, you don't know, the food is so disgusting! And I had to do a lot of work after I went there!

I didn’t have breakfast or lunch, so the only thing I had was dinner. Huang Lei started preparing the food in the morning, and it wasn’t ready until the evening. I was almost crying with hunger!

If my assistant hadn't brought a bucket of instant noodles, I felt like I would have died in that mushroom house. I will never go there again. I regret it so much, wuwuwuwuwu..."

In the hotel, after finishing recording "A Longing for Life", Shu Chang immediately made a video call to Liu Yifei, and frantically complained about all the outrageous operations of this variety show.

Liu Yifei looked at her best friend with a look of heartache and comforted her softly.

Chen Fei, who was sitting next to him, was laughing so hard that he bent over, holding his stomach, and was almost rolling on the ground!
"How was it? This time I finally got to know what a reality show is, right? Hahahahahaha..."

"Ahhh! I'm already so miserable! And you're still laughing at me!"

On the other end of the video call, Shu Chang glared at Chen Fei fiercely.

She's not around right now, but if she were in the same room with me, she would have rushed over and started biting me!

"Hahahahaha!"

The angrier she got, the more Fade Chen wanted to laugh.

Even though Miss Liu kicked him several times in confusion, he just couldn't stop.

"Okay, okay! You like to make fun of me so much, don't you? Just wait and see. When you get married, I will definitely not let you in! I will make you scream outside the door and no one will answer you! Humph!"

The call was cut off immediately, and Fade Chen's laughter also stopped abruptly.

"She just said she wouldn't let me in?"

"Hmm." Liu Yifei shrugged and said with a smile, "Who told you to laugh at her? Look, now you're in big trouble!"

"No way?" Fade Chen was a little panicked: "Can she still stop me from getting married?"

"Who knows? You'd better take care of yourself. Changchang and Jianu are both bridesmaids. You've offended them now. Don't blame me if you can't get in later!"

"Is it too late for me to beg for mercy now?" Chen Fei showed some hope on his face.

“I feel like there might be no hope.”

"This morning, the comedy film "Nineteen Generations of Ancestors", produced by Deyun Society, was officially announced.

The film is directed by the famous crosstalk artist Guo Degang himself, and starred by his apprentice Yue Yunpeng. It also invited 33 big stars such as Wu Jing, Wu Xiubo, Jing Boran, Lin Chiling, and Fan Bingbing to join the cast. It is a luxurious and star-studded cast! "

"At the project launch conference, Wang Hui, president of Deyun Club, said: 'Nineteen Generations of Ancestors' will unfold a series of gripping stories around family inheritance, and through fantasy elements and comedy techniques, it will allow the audience to feel the charm of Chinese culture in laughter."

"It is reported that the film tells the hilarious story of Bei Xiaobei, a fat boy who aspires to be a writer. He repeatedly hits a wall in reality because of his appearance, but later accidentally finds a long-forgotten family tree, unexpectedly travels through time to meet his ancestors in different eras, and personally adjusts his own genes."

"Guo Degang admitted that as a first-time director, he "hopes everyone likes it", but "he doesn't care about the future box office, as thunder and rain are all blessings from heaven". He just wants to make a movie that the whole family can watch together."

"..."

A new day has arrived, and the long-silent Deyun Society has directly overturned the domestic entertainment industry, attracting huge popularity and traffic!

When the movie title "33th Generations of Ancestors" and big stars took turns appearing at the project launch conference, the attention of netizens across the country was successfully attracted!
"Wow? This lineup is really outrageous. 33 big stars joining? That's something!"

"Tsk tsk, is Lao Guo using all his connections? He wants to help Yue Yunpeng, the top star of Deyun, to the top?"

"'19th Generation of Ancestors'? Judging from the title and subject matter, it seems quite interesting, but I wonder what the quality of the finished film will be like?"

"The last scene that caused such a sensation seemed to be the launch conference of the project of 'Pancake Man', right?"

"Fuck! Lao Guo is directing for the first time, but he has mastered such a big scene. Is he capable of doing that? Don't make another copy of 'The Pancake Man'."

"..."

Meanwhile, at Feiyue Film and Television, Lu Yang, who was in the audition room, was browsing the hot news online and curled his lips in disdain.

"Haha, I'm afraid this is another big-bang-but-little-come-back operation. Are crosstalk artists starting to make movies? Has the threshold for the film industry been lowered to this level?"

While he was muttering, the door of the audition room was suddenly pushed open, and the assistant led someone in.

"Director Lu, Xiao Yang is here for the audition."

"Okay, come in."

Lu Yang stood up and gave a faint smile to Xiao Yang who was following behind his assistant.

Lu Yang himself had no objection to the fact that an actor who became famous through comedy movies was auditioning for a serious role.

Because in his opinion, comedy is much more difficult to perform than other types of movies!

Moreover, actors who can act in comedies well can usually handle other genres with ease.

Just like Wang Baoqiang.

If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, who would dare to believe that the male protagonist “Shu” in “Hello! Mr. Shu” and the male protagonist “Tang Ren” in “Detective Chinatown” are the same character! ?

Based on this, he fully understood Xiao Yang's decision to audition for "The Accidental Murderer".

"Director Lu, should I start right away? Or should I introduce myself first?"

"Haha, no need, I have your information here."

Looking at Xiao Yang's serious look, Lu Yang still felt a little out of place. After all, the characters he played in "Detective Chinatown 1" and "Detective Chinatown 2" were so deeply rooted in people's hearts.

This also means that if he wants to perform well in "The Accidental Murderer", the effort he needs to put in is at least twice as much as others!
~

Before coming for the audition, Xiao Yang had actually made sufficient preparations.

He first studied the role script used for the audition in depth, as well as the Indian film "Alamy", and conducted an in-depth analysis of the character, background, emotions, and behavioral logic of the leading male character, Li Weijie.

In order to get closer to the role, he also referred to other similar roles or movies to find inspiration for his performance.

In addition, he even made physical and mental preparations, and deliberately adjusted his body shape to make himself more in line with the image of an ordinary middle-aged father.

Following Lu Yang's words "start", he directly started his non-physical performance skills.

He first stepped back a few steps, sat on the sofa in the room, and "picked up" his phone with a serious expression. He saw the text message from his daughter An An: "Dad, I killed someone!"

The next second, his expression instantly turned into shock!

But then he took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "An An, calm down and tell me what happened?"

In this non-substantial dialogue, Xiao Yang successfully conveyed the character’s inner shock and worry through his eyes and tone.

And next, he acted out the scene of Li Weijie destroying evidence.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the audition room.

Xiao Yang walked into the garage and turned on Sucha's phone. Although his hands were shaking, he still deleted the video: "We must not let anyone know about this, otherwise our family will be ruined."

Through delicate movements and expressions, he successfully demonstrated the character's wit and calmness in the face of adversity, while also creating a series of alibis...

In order to better show the character's personality traits, he even specially prepared an improvisation. Through delicate expressions and movements, he fully demonstrated the character's nervousness and wit when facing the police interrogation, as well as his tenderness and care when facing his family.

Lu Yang was even a little moved, because he seemed to really see the image of a father who was struggling in difficult situations but never gave up hope.

And the most important thing is that during the audition, Xiao Yang also demonstrated his excellent dialogue skills.

He read the character's lines in a firm and powerful voice, as if every word contained infinite power.

That voice contained both an affectionate call to family members and anger and ridicule towards the enemy, making Lu Yang and several other audition directors feel the character's determination and indomitable spirit!

"No one is allowed to hurt my family!"

As the last line was uttered, the audition room fell into a dead silence.

It was not until Xiao Yang bent down and bowed, indicating that his audition was over, that everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

"it is good!"

Lu Yang was the first to cheer and stood up to give a round of applause full of recognition.

It was not until then that he finally understood why comedians, when performing serious dramas, would have a dimensionality reduction effect on ordinary actors.

When transitioning to acting in serious dramas, they faced great challenges and difficulties. In order to break away from the audience's inherent impression of them and reshape a completely new character image, they worked harder to study the roles and scripts and continuously improve their performance level.

It is also because of this that when comedians successfully transition to acting in serious dramas, their performances are often more brilliant and amazing!
This is the Xiao Yang in front of us.

It is obvious that he put in many times more effort than other actors during the audition! His performance also showed the essence of the character "Li Weijie".

On the surface, he is just an ordinary father, but he is full of wisdom!
When facing police interrogation and investigation, he showed great wit and courage; he was able to quickly analyze the situation, find loopholes, and use the opponent's weaknesses to fight back.

He is also a good observer and imitator; this can be seen from the fact that he can draw inspiration from movies, news and daily life, and incorporate these elements into his own "escape plan".

Xiao Yang successfully demonstrated all these characteristics in the previous audition performance.

This all proves the preparation and hard work he put in before the audition.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately said: "Xiao Yang, your performance is excellent, especially your deep understanding of the role, especially in the handling of emotions and details, which surprised me very much!

However, I think you could have gone deeper in some places, such as in the conversation with Officer La Yun, you could have highlighted Li Weijie's wit and calmness more."

Xiao Yang nodded seriously after hearing this: "I'm grateful for your advice."

"Congratulations! You passed this audition!"

Perhaps because of the mentality of "being excited when seeing a good prey", Lu Yang was not interested in watching other actors' second auditions and directly decided on Xiao Yang.

He was not worried that he would miss out on other better actors because he already knew the performances of the other actors in the previous round of auditions.

Maybe some people's fame, popularity, traffic, and popularity are much higher than Xiao Yang, but in terms of acting skills, Xiao Yang is streets ahead of them!
"Thank you Director Lu for your recognition. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to challenge the role of 'Li Weijie'!"

Xiao Yang's face was full of gratitude.

He really didn't expect that the audition would go so smoothly.

He couldn't hide his excitement at the thought of being able to challenge other non-comedy roles!
"By the way, I saw in the information that you are also a director, right?"

"Yeah, I directed a movie called 'Enter the Dragon' before, but unfortunately the box office was not very good." At this point, Xiao Yang scratched his head awkwardly.

"It just so happens that you will be the assistant director of this film, 'Manslaughter'. You can assist me in the filming, and I don't have to look for other people. What do you think?"

"Sure! There's absolutely no problem on my end!"

Faced with this double happiness situation, Xiao Yang couldn't find any excuse to refuse.

It is a rare opportunity to learn. If we miss it, wouldn’t the smoke from our ancestral graves be in vain?

19, 20, 21...

Three days passed in a flash!

The audition for "The Accidental Murderer" has come to an end, and at this time, the domestic theater market has also welcomed a large number of brand new domestic films.

"Blood Wolf Dog", "Mysterious Family", "The Injustice of Dou E", "Love in Sound"...

Looking around, there are quite a few new movies released, but unfortunately only a few of them are box office hits.

Faced with the box office performance of "Fast and Furious 8" which has exceeded 20 billion, a number of domestic films have simply not been able to stand out.

The only good news now is probably that the May Day holiday is about to arrive.

"Like You", "Shock Wave", "The Great Hypnotist", "Love in the Buff"... These movies seem to have great potential, after all, they are all starring big-name actors.

However, in the opinion of colleagues in the industry, these blockbusters probably won’t last long.

Because after they are successfully released, imported blockbusters such as "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and "Alien Awakens" will be released soon!
In comparison, TV dramas are more stable.

"In the Name of People" still ranks first in the ratings, followed by a number of popular dramas such as "Fighter of the Destiny" and "The Surgeons".

I have to say that young and handsome actors have a lot of traffic!

Even though the acting is terrible, the ratings of "Fighter of the Destiny" still rank first among weekly dramas, and also set the best record for Mango TV in nearly 20 months.

Since its launch, the average weekly viewership of Fighter of the Destiny has remained stable at around 1.2%, and the online broadcast volume has exceeded 96 billion in 20 hours, with extremely high traffic!
In comparison, "The Surgeons" starring Jin Dong and Bai Baihe was more unlucky.

Affected by the cheating of the leading actress, the ratings of this drama were very low when it first aired. On the day of its premiere, the CSM52 city ratings was only 0.7%, ranking fifth.

And so far, the drama has been aired for almost a week, but the ratings on Capital TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV are still fixed at around 0.5%, with no significant improvement.

Mango TV suffered a huge loss this time!
The TV series that I bought at a high price not only failed to achieve a huge viewership rating, but also became difficult to attract investment due to the influence of the leading actress...

After this wave of trouble, I'm afraid even Noon Sunshine will be in trouble!
"Are there any problems with the actors we're working with?"

Seeing the miserable situation of "The Surgeons", Su Guohai hurriedly called Jiang Xueruo over and paid special attention to the situation of the two dramas "You Are My Glory" and "Ashes of Love".

"Boss Su, don't worry. There are no problems with our company's two dramas. The post-production and promotion are going smoothly..."

"That's good." Su Guohai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "I heard that the TV department has recently launched a new project?"

"Yes, in addition to the "Sito" that is currently in preparation, the costume historical drama "Da Ming Feng Hua" has also been launched. The screenwriter department is currently revising the second half of the script, and it should be finalized in another month."

"Okay." Su Guohai smiled knowingly, and murmured in his heart: "2018? 2019? Feiyue Film and Television still stands out from the crowd!"

……

After a night, it was the 23th.

Just as domestic film and television companies were adjusting their own projects, seeking the best release dates, and looking for suitable partners, a piece of news from the Cannes International Film Festival suddenly spread back to the country.

This piece of news was like a meteorite falling from the sky, directly hitting the Chinese-language film industry, causing everyone in the industry to suddenly widen their eyes with disbelief on their faces!
“Reprinted from the latest announcement of the 70th Cannes International Film Festival:

The organizing committee of this year's Cannes International Film Festival received a total of 1931 film applications, of which 50 films were shortlisted for the competition unit and 19 films were shortlisted for the main competition unit...
