I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 151 Group performance? "Red Cliff"

The next day, from the waiting room of the airport near Hengdian, Fan ** and Yan Dong looked at Wanqing Mountain with resentful eyes from time to time.

Feeling the look in their eyes, Wan Qingshan said helplessly, "I said, you've had enough. You've been watching for so long, and it's not enough."

From morning to now, Fan ** and Yan Dong have been looking at Wanqing Mountain with resentful eyes.

If it were just Fan**, Wan Qingshan wouldn't say anything.

But Wan Qingshan couldn't stand the fact that a grown man looked at him like this in Yan Dong.

"Qingzi, you can do it, you were the one who said you would bring me here to study.

Well, I came here excitedly, but before I even started learning, the crew was temporarily disbanded due to you. Yan Dong said with a resentful expression.

"Director Wan, my half-year work plan has been arranged a long time ago. Now that the crew has been temporarily disbanded, my half-year work plan has been completely messed up."

"I didn't expect that. You can't blame me." Wan Qingshan replied awkwardly.

Wan Qingshan originally thought that when Zhang Yimou asked the screenwriter to change the script, he asked the screenwriter to hurry up and write out some of the previous scenes, and then write them while filming.

He has already spelled out the structure of the script, so there won't be any big problems while writing while filming. Even if there are some mistakes in the middle, it won't have much impact. At most, we can just shoot a few more scenes.

Unexpectedly, the discussion was just finished last night. Early this morning, Zhang Yimou said that the crew was temporarily disbanded and the start of filming was postponed for half a month.

At that time, Wan Qingshan sighed in his heart that Zhang Yimou's filming was really not a bad investment.

The total salary for him, Zhou Runfa, and Gong Li must have exceeded [-] million. Zhang Yimou was actually able to keep the venue, equipment, and labor prepared in advance for half a month. This expense is not small.

After sighing, Wan Qingshan began to receive two resentful looks.

Yan Dong is not a fool. He saw Wan Qingshan and Zhang Yimou when they returned to the hotel after dinner yesterday.

We had dinner together last night, and today the crew suddenly disbanded without giving any reason. No need to think about it - it must have been caused by Wan Qingshan.

And Fan ** knew better. After all, yesterday morning, Zhang Yimou asked Wan Qingshan if there was something wrong with the script.

When the crew was temporarily disbanded today, Jiang Zhiqiang also appeared.

Needless to say, Jiang Zhiqiang must have come over yesterday to persuade Wan Qingshan to change the script, which led to the temporary disbandment of the crew today.

In order to prevent Yan Dong and the two from continuing to talk about the disbandment of the crew, after Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Liying who was sitting upright beside him, and casually found a topic to chat about.

"Zhao Liying, when I saw you for the first time yesterday, you were dragging a suitcase. Were you preparing to leave Hengdian at that time?"

Zhao Liying, who stood tall, immediately replied, "Director Wan, I was leaving Hengdian yesterday.

I was shortlisted for the semi-finals of Yahoo Star Search before, but I didn’t have any acting experience, so I took advantage of my spare time to come to Hengdian to work as an extra in order to gain experience.

Yesterday, I was going to participate in the training camp before the semi-finals of Yahoo Star Search. "

Wanqingshan was very surprised!

He had a misunderstanding yesterday. He only knew that Zhao Liying had been an extra, so when he saw Zhao Liying yesterday, he thought she was an extra in Hengdian.

Now that Zhao Liying said it, he remembered that Zhao Liying's starting point was not low.

She participated in Yahoo Star Search and became the champion of Feng Xiaogang's group, and then signed a contract with Huayi. Her first film was the heroine of Feng Xiaogang's short film!

It's just that the competition in Huayi was too fierce, and she didn't seize the opportunity at first. She appeared in Feng Xiaogang's short film without any splash, and then she was reduced to a small role in Hengdian.

But she is not considered to be a group performer. She has a company, and she is currently the leader of private film and television companies - Huayi!
Although Huayi treats her like a pig, with Huayi around, she can get to know people. Only with connections can she have opportunities. This is something that tens of thousands of extras can't achieve!
"Good guy, Zhao Liying's press releases back then were all about counterattacks and motivation, and there were a lot of reports that she was a group performer.

The male Wang Baoqiang and the female Zhao Liying have become the envy and admiration of many people.It made me forget for a moment that she signed with Huayi as soon as she entered the industry. "

After Wan Qingshan murmured something in his heart, he looked at Zhao Liying with a playful look.

She is still an ignorant little girl now, but a few years later, she will use quite a lot of means to play with press releases!

These press releases must have been produced by Zhao Liying's team, which is to make her an inspirational actress so that more people can become her fans.

Otherwise, if a person signs a contract with Huayi as soon as she enters the industry and becomes the heroine of Feng Xiaogang's short film, even if she becomes an extra in the group and gradually becomes popular, it cannot be said that she has a background in group acting, it can only be said that she has turned over.

After all, her starting point was the heroine of Feng Xiaogang's short film. This starting point is said to be a group performance.

What about having tens of thousands of extras perform in Hengdian? Are they not even considered extras?
"Since you were shortlisted for Yahoo Search Stars, why didn't you tell me before?"

"Miss Fan, I..."

Zhao Liying, who was frightened by Fan **'s expression and looked uneasy, was interrupted by Fan ** who had a straight face before she finished speaking.

"Have you signed the company?"

Zhao Liying quickly shook her head, "No, I didn't sign any contract!"

Suddenly, Fan **'s complexion improved a lot!

"In the future, this kind of thing must be explained clearly in advance."

"I understand, Miss Fan." Zhao Liying nodded repeatedly.

At this time, the airport announcement rang, and everyone stopped chatting and picked up their luggage and headed to the boarding gate.

After landing in the capital, Fan ** took Zhao Liying and his assistant to Fanfan Company, and Wan Qingshan went home with Yan Dong.

At noon, Wan Qingshan, Li Yancheng, Yan Dong, Zhao Shufeng and the others, plus everyone from Qingshan Company, were at the hotel to celebrate Yan Dong’s belated housewarming.

Halfway through the meal, Wan Qingshan's cell phone rang, and then he spoke to several people in Yandong.

Then he left first and went to another hotel for a banquet.

"Qingshan, I heard that you disbanded Zhang Yimou's crew!"

As soon as Wan Qingshan arrived, Han Sanping smiled and joked.

In the past two months, "The Golden Armor" has been hot news. A week ago, the news that Wan Qingshan participated in the show made "The Golden Armor" even more popular.

Media reporters have been paying attention to the fact that less than an hour after the temporary disbandment of the "City of Gold" crew this morning, it appeared on the Internet that the "City of Gold" crew was temporarily disbanded.

Although these media do not know the specific reasons, in order to make a splash, they pinned the source of the temporary disbandment of "The City of Golden Armor" on Wan Qingshan!
There is no way, Zhou Runfa and the others haven't gone to the crew yet, and if the crew is temporarily disbanded because of Zhang Yimou, that's nothing explosive.

And less than a day after Wan Qingshan passed, the crew was temporarily disbanded and placed on his head, which was most appropriate.

As for fellow fan **, no one would believe that Fan **'s status could allow Zhang Yimou to temporarily disband the crew.

"Director Han, you believe this too! It's not like you don't know that since last year, the online news media has started to change. They dare to write nonsense without any factual basis."

Han Sanping also didn't believe that Wan Qingshan could temporarily disband Zhang Yimou's crew. With Zhang Yimou's status, Wan Qingshan didn't dare to put on airs.

Besides, the Wan Qingshan he knew was not the kind of person who puts on show.

So Han Sanping followed Wan Qingshan's words and talked about the news.

"Haha, it's not because of you that the news on the Internet has turned sour. You've brought it upon yourself." Since Wan Qingshan's method of promoting movies online was revealed on the Internet, the film and television industry now promotes movies and TV series online.

Online news media have also changed accordingly. The propaganda method of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" that set off the Internet has made them realize a lot. They realize that news does not need to be true, as long as it has explosive points and topics.

Then - they started making up the news.

Although I would make up news in the past, at least there would be some factual basis.

The current online news reports are the same as Zhuo Wei's previous report on the scandal between Wan Qingshan and Fan **.

There are even some more outrageous ones that don’t even require a single opening picture, it’s all made up.

As long as you hear something, don't inquire about the facts, just write about the explosive points and topics.

"By the way, Qingshan, tell me why the filming of "The Golden Armor" was suddenly postponed for half a month. What went wrong?" Han Sanping asked curiously.

"I don't know about that. Maybe Director Zhang thinks there are some aspects that need improvement!"

Wan Qingshan didn't want Han Sanping to continue questioning, so as soon as he finished speaking, he began to change the topic.

"Director Han, what do you want to see me for?"

When it came time to talk about business, Han Sanping's curiosity immediately dissipated.

"Qingshan, I'm looking for you because I want to invite you to star in a movie.

Don’t worry, it’s a big director, a big production, a costume blockbuster, and if you play the male lead, you will definitely be worthy of the role, and you will definitely learn something. "

Wan Qingshan thought about it in his mind. At this time in his original life, China Film didn't have any big-invested movies!

As a result, Wan Qingshan, who had no time and no desire to answer, couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.

"Director Han, the subject of your script, the director, doesn't say anything, how do you want me to think about it!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Han Sanping's eyes!
He may know that Lou Ye and Jia Zhangke invited Wan Qingshan to star a few years ago, but Wan Qingshan rejected them.

Now, when Wan Qingshan takes over the filming of Zhang Yimou's movie, he thinks that Wan Qingshan takes it because he is a big director and a big producer, and he takes it with a learning attitude.

After all, he had heard Wan Qingshan tell him before that he thought he would not be able to shoot a period martial arts blockbuster.

Therefore, he believed what Wan Qingshan said at the launch conference of "The Golden Armor".

He only talked about big productions, big directors, and costume films. He was also worried that Wan Qingshan was focusing on his own status, and even mentioned the male lead. Who knew...
"Blame me, blame me for not making it clear to you. Let me tell you, the director is Wu Yusen, the theme is the Three Kingdoms, and the investment exceeds [-] million!
How about it, Qingshan, this is enough to attract you! "

Han Sanping believed that Wan Qingshan would definitely agree, so his face was filled with a confident smile.

When Wan Qingshan heard this, a sentence came to his mind - 'Mengmeng, stand up! '

"Well, Director Han, the theme of the Three Kingdoms and the director Wu Yusen are very attractive to me, but I still have to ask first, when will the filming of the movie start?"

Wan Qingshan really wanted to refuse directly!
"Red Cliff"!If the original version of "The Golden Armor" is a bad movie, then "Red Cliff" is a piece of gorgeous shit. No matter how gorgeous it is, it is still a piece of shit!
But because he asked about the subject and director before, if he refused immediately, Han Sanping would think he was playing a trick on him.

"The filming starts in September, and you will definitely have finished filming "The City of Golden Armor" by then!" Han Sanping said with a smile.

“September, well, that’s really unlucky.

I really wanted to star in the role and study with director Wu Yusen, but I agreed to the role with Mr. Jiang from Anle Film and Television some time ago.

After filming for director Zhang, I had to help him direct a movie, and then I had to make my own movie.

Director Han, I’m really sorry. "

Wan Qing had a pity expression on his face, and Han Sanping had previously thought that Wan Qingshan wanted to learn from costume blockbusters, so even if he felt something was wrong, he didn't suspect anything.

"You're too busy to have time, so forget it. It's my fault for not inviting you earlier." Han Sanping said regretfully.

What Wu Kebo said before made Han Sanping a little unbelievable. After all, "Hero", which brought together many big stars, only made 40 billion yen in the island country. Can "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" sell for 20 billion to 30 billion yen?
Therefore, he did not invite Wan Qingshan immediately.

After all, if "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" does not have such a high box office in the island country, it would not be worth it to force Wanqingshan into it.

But yesterday we learned that "Loyal Lives, Brave" has already earned 30 million yen at the box office in just a few days after it was released in the island country. The total box office is likely to exceed Toei's estimated upper limit of [-] billion yen.

Today, Han Sanping started inviting Wan Qingshan!

With the original cast of "Loyal Lives, Righteous and Brave" starring in "Red Cliff", the island country's copyright fees will definitely be tens of millions higher than the original basis.

Now that Wan Qingshan can't star, even if Zhang Jin and Zeng Li are there, but one person is missing, he is still the male lead in "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave", and the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

In the island country, Wan Qingshan did not use propaganda methods to focus all the attention of the audience and the media on Zhang Jin.

After the release of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness", among the several leading actors, Wan Qingshan was the most popular in the island country, followed by Zeng Li, who was already somewhat famous in the island country because of "The True Meaning of Love", and finally it was Zhang Jin's turn.

After finishing the meal, Han Sanping and Wan Qingshan left separately.

In the car, Han Sanping suddenly came to his senses and murmured, "He didn't want to pick it up in the first place!"

If you want to star in it, consider the speed at which Wan Qingshan filmed "The True Meaning of Love" and "Loyal Liver and Righteousness".

The filming of "A City Full of Golden Armor" was completed in June. In three months, Wan Qingshan will definitely be able to complete the film directed by Jiang Zhiqiang.

But when the time comes, he can let people prepare for the pre-production of his movie, and he went into the filming of "Red Cliff".

As long as the time is coordinated, Wan Qingshan will be tired at most and it will not affect his work schedule.

But Wan Qingshan didn't even ask if he could coordinate his shooting time, so he just refused.

Wan Qingshan refused, and Han Sanping had no intention of inviting him again. It was enough for him to invite him once. If he was invited too many times, where would he put Han Sanping's face?

That is, Wan Qingshan was the one who invited him in person, while other actors were invited directly by phone.

After Han Sanping muttered, doubt appeared on his face.

"Why would he refuse? He could join the cast of "The Golden Armor" just to learn from Zhang Yimou.

But he is unwilling to participate in "Red Cliff". Is he not optimistic about Wu Yusen, or is he not optimistic about the theme of the Three Kingdoms? "

After Han Sanping murmured in his heart, the prospect of "Red Cliff" also became gloomy.

Han Sanping still clearly remembers what Wan Qingshan said in his office in order to persuade him to film "The True Meaning of Love": "Why are young people unwilling to go to the cinema to watch movies?"

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan's two films, "The True Meaning of Love" and "Loyalty and Loyalty", proved what he said. Movies need freshness to attract audiences.

Han Sanping admired Wan Qingshan's understanding of the audience's psychology.

Therefore, Wan Qingshan was unwilling to participate in the film, which led Han Sanping to have some doubts about "Red Cliff" and its ability to achieve high box office!
Han Sanping immediately took out his mobile phone. When he was just looking through the address book and asked for Wan Qingshan's phone number, he hesitated and took the phone back.

"Haha, I'm stunned. I'm the chairman of China Film Group Corporation. No matter how powerful Wan Qingshan is, I should have my own judgment!"

After Han Sanping murmured something self-deprecatingly, he stopped thinking about it.

But in his mind, he still reduced the box office estimate of the two "Red Cliff" movies from [-] million to [-] million!
