Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 251 The niche track is suddenly crowded!

The more I study Korean movies, the more I envy them.

The Xiba guys are so lucky, they are too lenient!

The main point of tolerance in film and television creation is that you can shoot and criticize at will.

Zhen Jiecheng even suspected that the Koreans seemed to be intentionally using film and television works as a channel for the public to vent their grievances:
I've already scolded you enough, so that's enough, right?

Don't worry, I will definitely not change, mainly to avoid you from being able to scold me to your heart's content next time.

Look how considerate I am!
In such an environment, Peninsula has produced a considerable number of high-quality film and television works.

But what’s interesting is that the Koreans seem to have focused their energy on digging deeper into the “darkness”, and their polishing of the camera language has fallen a little short of par.

The pictures, colors, light and shadow are far inferior to those of the fifth generation Chinese directors such as Lao Mouzi Chen Shishi, and they feel a bit hasty.

In terms of film and television content, Goryeo and Hong Kong are quite compatible!
For example, the "New World" that Zhen Jiecheng is recalling has a bit of the flavor of the Peninsula version of "Infernal Affairs".

However, it does not develop in two lines like "Infernal Affairs", and there are also weaknesses in character personalities and some plots.

Forget it, no hurry. I'd better compare prices and see what's good.

Zhen Jiecheng's life gradually became regular. After getting used to taking care of the children, he got up on time every day and went to bed on time, which seemed quite comfortable.

Until Jingtian’s QQ messages became more and more frequent!

"Senior, I've made up my mind. You can't become a fat man in one bite. I don't plan to change too much. I'll just focus on the things within my ability first!"

“Basic storytelling, flawless composition, and eye-catching camera language at key points to create an atmosphere are enough for me.”

"The Secret has inspired me a lot. As long as we can highlight the theme of 'youth', grasp the element of 'regret', and make the audience empathize, this project will be considered a success!"

Later, Liu Yifei also joined in.

"Senior, when will you return to Beijing?"

"Senior, come to my house for dinner after you return to Beijing."

"Senior, I also brought my mother into the project and asked her to guest-star as a teacher. Senior, do you think my mother looks similar?", picture jpg.

White shirt, slim pants.

The standard business suit is also paired with a pair of rimless glasses.

Shit! What does this mean? Are you testing me with an old woman?
What a joke, it’s 2009 now, who can’t stand this test?

"I just finished doing yoga with my mom. I feel like her moves are much more standard than mine. What do you think, senior?", picture jpg.

Although the camera did not capture the front view, it still outlined a full curve from the side.

Or two!
Aunt is in front and the fairy is behind.

Zhen Jiecheng took a breath of cold air!
"Senior, Tiantian and I have almost finished the preparations. When will the project be officially launched? Senior, you promised to come and play the leading male role." Picture jpg.

The aunt was wearing a professional suit, holding her glasses with her left hand and holding a pointer with her right hand.

She is wearing a fairy-like student outfit, with the sunlight slanting in, supporting her chin.

The beam of light created by the Tyndall effect runs exactly between the two people, completing the composition.

The color temperature difference has a slight sense of distortion, which firmly grasps the youthful background in memory, making it easy for people to empathize and fall into memories.

Was this taken by Tiantian?

That’s right! It must be Tiantian!
But, this is no reason for you two to talk nonsense.

Is your male lead a guest star?

Why don't you say that extras are all playing supporting roles?

Just as Zhen Jiecheng was complaining,
"du~du~du~"

The phone rang, it was Xu Qing.

"Hey, Jiecheng, I'm your sister. Emmm, no, I'm your mother!"

"Ah?" Zhen Jiecheng was dumbfounded. "Sister, what are you talking about? Are you okay?"

"It's okay!"

"Didn't that little girl Jing Tian find me? She said you were going to star in her project and wanted me to guest-star as your mother."

"I was thinking, Jiecheng, you're visiting the set, emmm, no, you're acting in the project yourself. Even if it's for two junior school girls, the quality will definitely not be too bad, so I agreed."

"Just in time. I missed being your mother in Let the Bullets Fly last time, so I'll make up for it this time!"

Zhen Jiecheng:ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

When will I perform?
Agree a year ago? Shit! What's the use of agreeing? The expiration date has long passed!

Wait, why does this smell familiar? Is this girl playing the game of acting first and asking for permission later?

"du~du~du~"

The phone rang again.

"Hey, Senior, Happy New Year!" Zhen Jiecheng looked at Wang Chunzi's note and asked in confusion, "Senior, why are you calling?"

"It's like this, Jiecheng. Tiantian said that you agreed to star in her project, and then you found me."

"I just feel that since you, as a senior, are helping her so much, how can I, as her homeroom teacher, not lend a hand?"

"Senior, do you mean that you want to make a guest appearance as well?"

"Yes!" Wang Chunzi replied.

Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng's mind immediately became clear.

Isn't this the same thing that I instigated Jiang Wenwan to write the letter?

It was just that the invitations to Ge You and Jia Hui were discussed in advance. Writing letters was purely to create hype and force good words.

And what about Jing Tian? He really used it as a trick!

So after hanging up the phone with Wang Chunzi, Zhen Jiecheng immediately called Jing Tian.

Unexpectedly, just as I opened the address book, Jing Tian called.

"Hey, senior!" a clear voice rang out, "Happy New Year!"

"Not happy!" Zhen Jiecheng replied in a muffled voice.

"It's okay, I can make you happy."

"Senior, I have good news for you. Senior Xu Qing has agreed to guest star in our project."

"Senior, Teacher Wang is here too!"

"Senior, you are the only one missing as the leading actor!"

Zhen Jiecheng: ￣へ￣

A heart full of complaints was stuck in his throat, causing Zhen Jiecheng to grit his teeth.

A filial daughter, selling her mother!
A good student sends a teacher!

Two good school girls drag the senior girl into the water!
Damn it, you’re using an old woman to test me?
Who are you looking down on?
Isn't it just three? Which male protagonist can't stand this test?

"Ahem!" Zhen Jiecheng cleared his throat. "Tiantian, a project is a very complicated job from preparation to start-up to completion and production."

"As your senior, I will definitely not stand idly by!"

"Come on, let's plan it out."

On February 2, "The Founding of a Republic" held a press conference.

Zhen Jiecheng rushed to the scene and gave enough face to Zuoshandiao, the chief director.

It was a grand occasion, with the deputy director of Beijing Political Science and Technology Bureau, the director and deputy director of Optoelectronics Bureau, the president of the People's Art Theater, and the director of the Six Princesses Channel all attending.

"Jie Cheng!"

Xu Qing waved enthusiastically,
"Come on, call me mom!"

"Sister, stop making trouble!"

Zhen Jiecheng's face suddenly darkened, and Xu Qing was overjoyed to see this.

"Hey, what's going on?" Tang Guoqiang asked with a smile.

"Hi, Jing Tian and Liu Yifei took over a project from Jie Cheng and asked me to play the guest role of Jie Cheng's mother. I thought this would be a good opportunity to familiarize myself with the role and get a feel for it!"

"Jing Tian and Liu Yifei?" Tang Guoqi was stunned. "Are you talking about "Those Years" which is about to hold a press conference?"

"Yes! That's it!" Xu Qing nodded, then looked at Zhen Jiecheng, "Jiecheng, are you, the male lead, going to attend the press conference too?"

"How about this, I'll go too, mother and son, how about we go together?"

"No!" Zhen Jiecheng rolled his eyes. "Whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going anyway!"

Hearing this, Xu Qingle became even more excited.

The more Zhen Jiecheng acted like this, the more interested she became in "Those Years".

"Forget it! I'll go by myself!"

Pick up the phone and make a call.

"Hey, Tiantian, I'm going to attend your project launch tomorrow."

Looking at Xu Qing's twisted back as she walked towards a quiet corner, Zhen Jiecheng curled his lips.
"Call me mom?"

"Haha! Do you know what happened to the last person who made me call him mom?"

If the press conference of "Founding of a Republic" was grand, then that of "Those Years" was very lively.

It’s more lively than you can imagine!
There were guns and cannons everywhere, and they seemed to want to stuff them into the two girls' mouths.

Especially Liu Yifei who "directed and acted" herself!
Fortunately, she pursed her lips tightly, otherwise her teeth would have been worn away!
"Ify, can you give us some details about the project 'Those Years'?"

"Sure!" Liu Yifei nodded. "After the senior bought the film and television adaptation of this novel, it has not been filmed for various reasons and has been put on hold. I wanted to give it a try, so the senior agreed and handed it over to me and Tiantian."

"Yifei, is it true that Director Zhen will play the male lead?" "It's true." Liu Yifei replied.

"Ify, do you want to emulate Zhou Jielun?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei fell silent.

I really want to say no, after all, I am different from Jie Lun.

All the hard work over such a long period of time is not fake, and the professional ability can only be verified by practice.

But in essence, it is no different from Jielun, both of them ask seniors to check, the only difference is the degree of checking.

If I deny it, wouldn't that be like the pot calling the kettle black?

On the side, Xu Qing watched with interest, wanting to hear how Liu Yifei would respond.

Seeing that he remained silent, he couldn't help but smack his lips.

Young people still can’t do it, they are too thin-skinned.

If it were Xu Jinglei, she would definitely be able to use all kinds of Tai Chi techniques to change the topic subtly.

Just as he was about to pick up the microphone to help his junior "director" break the awkwardness, unexpectedly someone was one step ahead of him.

"Let me answer this question!" Jing Tian picked up the microphone, "Yes, you are right, that's it!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked!

"You mean, Director Zhen will have absolute say on the set?" the reporter further pointed out.

"Oh, yes, yes!" Jing Tian nodded, "That's right!"

Jing Tian's frankness left the reporters speechless for a moment.

Xu Qing opened his eyes wide and his mouth half open.

"Emmm, if that's the case, isn't it a bit of a scam?" This has always been a headache for the interviewees, but now it's the paparazzi who have to choose their words carefully. "After all, Director Zhen is only acting, but he's doing the director's job."

"Isn't this normal?" Jing Tian grinned, "The more capable you are, the more work you should do!"

"Let me give you an example. Whether it's the workers or our soldiers, don't they all have the tradition of the old helping the new?"

"Yes!" the paparazzi nodded.

"It's the same for us!" Jing Tian said confidently, "Sister Xixi and I are new here, so please give us some advice, is there anything wrong?"

"Emmm, no problem." The paparazzi nodded again.

"In the process of the old helping the new, of course the 'old' has the absolute say!" Jing Tian spread his hands, "Could it be that the newcomer made his own decision? Don't you think this is the truth?"

"Emmm, yes." The paparazzi continued to nod.

"The old help the new, and guide the new to get the job done. How can this be considered cheating? Does it mean that once the teacher guides the students' thinking and solves the problem, the knowledge no longer belongs to the students?"

"Can"

"No buts!" Jing Tian interrupted the reporter in a domineering tone, "Directors and actors, they are all called film and television creators, and they are all equal. Let's discuss it together! The work is important, isn't it?"

"Yes." The paparazzi could only nod.

"Besides, what is the essence of a director?" Jing Tian asked himself, "It's about scheduling and controlling the direction. Making good use of the talents of every crew member, letting everyone work together to make a good film, isn't it?"

"Yes" the paparazzi was so confused.

"Then the question is, the senior is also a member of the crew, why should we discard his talent?"

"But you also said that the director has to control the direction." A paparazzi finally found an opportunity and couldn't wait to speak up, "Director Zhen is in the crew, so doesn't that mean the direction is up to Director Zhen?"

"Look at you, you're anxious again!" Jing Tian, ​​who had just turned twenty, managed to have the temperament of a forty-year-old and spoke in the tone of a fifty-year-old. "You just emphasized it, and you forgot it again?"

"Everyone in the crew is a creator, and we all discuss and work together."

"As for opinions, of course we should choose the good ones and follow them! Isn't the general direction proposed by the senior also one of the opinions?"

Paparazzi: (￣ー￣)
The press conference became Jing Tian’s personal stage.

He accepted all kinds of questions and took on all kinds of challenges.

Looking at Jing Tian, ​​Xu Qing was puzzled.

How could such a sweet and pretty face have such a mouth that keeps smacking!

Is this the new generation “leader” of the acting department mentioned by his junior fellow student Wang Jinsong?

Is this also called being well behaved?
Is this also called honesty?

Xu Qing suddenly frowned.

Wait, why does this girl smell so familiar?
"Sister Xixi, this is what I think." After the press conference, Jing Tian explained the reason for her response in the backstage, "Even if we say that we have been studying hard and the seniors just gave us some general advice, will they believe it?"

"No!" Liu Yifei replied.

"That's it." Jing Tian raised his head and chin, like a proud big white goose. "Others will only trust their own judgment and will not care how much effort we put in."

"Simply, let's just do as they wish. We can also use this as a hype."

"No matter whether it is red or black, the publicity effect is real."

"We'll release another wave of gossip later, and the effect will be even better. Anyway, the senior has too much debt, so he doesn't have to worry about it, and he doesn't have to worry about it. He doesn't matter."

"Wait a minute, Tiantian!" Liu Yifei said quickly, "Isn't this inappropriate? My mother is in there!"

"It's okay. Isn't my homeroom teacher one of them? It's fair!" Jing Tian waved her hand. "Besides, Auntie has had her fair share of scandals over the years, hasn't she?"

"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded.

"Has it affected Auntie?"

"No." Liu Yifei shook her head.

"So, one more or one less thing doesn't affect auntie. But this time it's a serious matter, for the work you directed and starred in, is it possible that auntie would be unwilling? No way!"

Liu Yifei: (ω`)
I always feel like something is wrong, but everything seems to be fine.

"Senior, are you okay?" Jing Tian looked at Xu Qing, "You know our reputation. In fact, no matter if we hype it up or not, the paparazzi will catch us, so we are just taking advantage of the situation."

"And you will inevitably be dragged into this. I apologize in advance for causing you trouble."

"No need! I'm used to this kind of thing in the entertainment industry!" Xu Qing smiled and waved her hands, "You are the director, emmm, assistant director, you have the final say!"

"Thank you for your understanding!" Jing Tian's face immediately dimpled sweetly. She took Xu Qing's arm affectionately and looked at Liu Yifei again. "Sis Sis, after using our senior to stir up the heat, the fans will naturally look forward to our work."

“When the film is released, they will be able to see that even though there are traces of our senior, it is actually the work of the two of us.”

"Facts speak louder than words!"

"Wait, Tiantian. If this is the case, won't the audience feel disappointed?" Liu Yifei said anxiously, "After all, they thought Those Years was of senior's quality, but the reality is that it's at our level."

"Disparity? How can this be explained?" Jing Tian blinked her big eyes. "Since everyone knows that we took the photo, shouldn't it be a surprise?"

"Besides, are our skills so bad?"

Hold your head high and your chest high,

"Sister Xixi, be more confident!"

"The photography was done by my teacher, the lighting was done by Teacher Ji, and the lower limit of the guarantee is as high as three or four floors~"

"And every effort we make within the direction given by the senior is to raise the ceiling~"

From then on, Xu Qing finally realized.

I was wondering why this girl smells so familiar, isn't she Xiao Jie Cheng.

No wonder Wang Jinsong thinks so highly of him. Wow, the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy has recruited a talent!

Jing Tian’s response at the press conference made “Those Years” popular before it was even filmed, and there was constant discussion among the public.

Zhen Jiecheng didn't take it seriously at first, until he started receiving many invitations for unknown reasons.

First, those within the circle.

Gao Yuanyuan called after she finished filming "Jinling! Jinling!"

As they chatted, the topic turned to a project she also wanted to save up for.

After Fan Bingbing rushed back to the capital, he sat there for a long time without saying a word.

My legs were shaking from sitting, but I still gritted my teeth and persevered.

Finally, he showed his bank card balance and opened his mouth.

"I have money!"

"I can afford the investment for the project, as well as your salary!"

Li Bingbing from Huayi was eager to try, and Yangzi from Juli called Huang Shengyi.

Mrs. Kurosawa said in a coquettish voice that she was looking forward to acting opposite Zhen Jiecheng. How to act, where to act and what to act are all decided by the male lead.

Zhen Jiecheng was dumbfounded!
What’s going on? Is such a niche “self-directed and self-acted” track becoming crowded?
"dududu~"

"Hey, Jie Cheng."

"A coal boss came to me with a sack of cash!"

"They asked me to play the male lead right away, and said they would increase the pay if it wasn't enough!" Jiang Wen said in a muffled voice, "I'm a little dizzy, this money is too damn easy to make!"

"Yeah, I think so too."

"You too?" Jiang Wen was stunned. "You mean, the coal boss also came to you?"

"found!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wen fell silent.

After a while, he finally spoke.
"Damn it, the bosses really understand the art of film and television!"

"Yes! No one respects film and television art more than them!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.
