Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 307 No one understands directing better than Gao Yuanyuan!

The weather in the capital was becoming increasingly cold and biting, so Cheng Hao hurriedly took his two sons and parents to Qing Island.

The relatively warm maritime climate is obviously more friendly to both the elderly and children.

Therefore, Zhen Jiecheng was too lazy to run back and forth, so he simply lived in the company, where heating and other living facilities were available.

The script of "Joker" needs to be further polished; "Love Is Not Blind" has been officially launched.

Jing Tian went to the office every few days at first, but when Zhen Jiecheng refused to listen to her persuasion, she had to shift her focus and turn her attention to "project management" at Beijing Film Academy.

You don’t know until you let it go, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

Oh my god, there are so many wool in my master's sect!

It was not until this moment that Jing Tian realized the value of his identity.

Graduated from the Performance Department and has the reputation of Beijing Film Academy.

Working as a director, the inside story of Beijing Film Academy.

I haven't graduated from college yet, I'm still a serious college student.

The buff is indeed maxed out.

Management! You must manage everything!
Art director, director of photography, art director, producer... one name after another was filled in the project position list.

In order to help Jing Tian get the money, the performance department made great efforts. Of course, Jing Tian did not let them work in vain, the shiny "Beijing content" was their reward.

Jing Tian was working hard, and Guo Fan was not idle either.

In order to write his first novel "The Adventures of Li Xianji", Guo Fan locked himself in the room, thinking about the plot bit by bit, and repeatedly pondering whether the overall framework needed to be adjusted.

Even though the filming location has not been finalized yet, the images in my mind have already been put down on paper, becoming one storyboard after another.

"You really don't want to check on him?"

"No." Zhen Jiecheng shook his head. "If I say I won't help, then I won't help!"

"But this kid is almost going crazy!" Director Tian, ​​who has been stubborn for most of his life, has become visibly gentler in recent years.

Perhaps it was because Jing Tian had been pestering him too much, which aroused the mentality of a generation apart, so that Guo Fan, who was in his thirties, also enjoyed care and concern.

"Just be crazy. People who engage in art should be a little crazy." Zhen Jiecheng said with a smile, and then his expression became serious.

"No matter how confused he is, he got stuck in a rut and went in the wrong direction."

"I was too busy and messy, and handed in a failed answer sheet."

"No matter what, you have to walk your own path!"

After a pause,
"Unlike Tiantian, Tiantian, I will help check, remind, and even take action."

"But for Guo Fan, I will only point out his mistakes, give suggestions, and guide his summary after he has produced the finished film."

As if he thought of something, he suddenly frowned.

"Teacher, each generation should take care of its own affairs. This is my student, please don't think about interfering!"

"If you really have nothing to do, go out and walk around more and share your overflowing love with the aunts who need it!"

"What's wrong with your students? Are you so great? Are you a bastard like you who is guarding food like a dog?" Director Tian was furious. "How dare you talk to me like that?"

"Also, can you please shut your fucking mouth? You have no shame, but I still want more!"

"Don't you know what Beijing Film Academy is like? If what you just said gets out, they'll make up a scandal about me tomorrow!"

"Look at what you said, it's as if there has never been any scandal." Zhen Jiecheng curled his lips, "It's not like there haven't been rumors made up outside, do you really need to do that?"

"Who arranged this? Tell me your name!"

"Teacher Cui Xinqin, old lady Chang Li next door, oh yes! Senior Sister Li Shaohong also talked to me about it."

Upon hearing this, Director Tian's mouth twitched.

They are all women, and none of them can be messed with.

Waving his hands irritably,

"Get lost! Stop standing here and getting in my way!"

"Ahem, teacher, this is my office, where should I go?"

"Shit! Then get out of here!"

Lao Deng'er put his hands behind his back and walked away with a grunt.

"This old man, he's so angry, but he doesn't even know how to find a piece of ginger to cool down his temper. What's the point of picking on me? If you have the ability, you can use your energy on your aunt!"

Zhen Jiecheng smacked his lips and was about to fulfill his filial duty: he would call Lao Deng'er's confidante to help her deal with her internal heat.

But the phone rang first.

"Have you heard any news?"

"I found out! Jiecheng Film and Television attaches great importance to this drama. Tangren is a partner. It is said that Mr. Cai has been trying for a long time but still failed to get an important role."

"Didn't they say Hu Ge and Liu Shishi joined?"

“Yes, but as a guest star.”

"Use Hu Ge's popularity to support the show? To attract traffic to the TV series?" Gao Yuanyuan was stunned. She knew Hu Ge's popularity in the screen market too well.

After the hit of "Chinese Paladin", he disappeared for a year due to a car accident, but his comeback was "Nirvana in Fire", which completely consolidated his status as the most popular young actor of the new generation.

In other words, it lacks the class of successful screen works, otherwise it would be close to the top-tier ones!
Thinking about it, Gao Yuanyuan became more and more excited.

Logically speaking, as a first-line actress who has starred in many award-winning art films and commercial blockbusters, Gao Yuanyuan should not be so concerned about a TV series.

But who asked Fan Bingbing to demonstrate?
Oh yes, there is also Wang Baoqiong!
"Soldier Assault", "You Who Came From the Stars", "The Heirs", every one of Jiecheng Film and Television's key TV drama projects is a hit!
And it’s the type that has a huge bonus to the popularity of role players.

Needless to say, Fan Bingbing is very popular throughout Asia.

Even Wang Baoqi, whose image is completely isolated from appearance, is ridiculously fierce.

Gao Yuanyuan once heard this from a friend in the industry. She originally intended to treat it as a story, but the shocked eyes, serious expression, and slightly trembling voice when her friend described it made Gao Yuanyuan unable to help but identify with the story.

"I thought the 'Beauty Trap' was about Diao Chan, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. It was not until I went to the army with Bao Qi to give a consolation performance that I realized I was wrong and superficial!"

"Yuanyuan, do you know? The whole audience is shouting 'Sanduo'! The eyes looking at Baoqi are admiring, adoring, and caring. I don't know how to describe it specifically, but in short, they are not looking at a star at all, but at a brother, a family. Not one person, not a group of people, but a group of people!"

"I even doubt that even if Andy Lau went there, he would not be as popular as Bao Qi! No, put aside the doubt, it is certain!"

"The scariest thing is that Soldier Assault is still on the air. It's on every year, and the ratings have never been lower."

"Five years from now, ten years from now! What will happen if Bao Qi goes to the army again?"

Gao Yuanyuan had not experienced it personally, so naturally she could not imagine the specific situation.

But Gao Yuanyuan can be sure that:

Fight! Grab!
Enjoy it while you are still young!

While rivals of the same level are still focusing most of their attention on the screen, they should settle for the second best and find a way to eat the cake first.

"Are you sure there is no news about Fan Bingbing's participation?" If Fan Bingbing joins the competition, Gao Yuanyuan can just raise the white flag.

"Confirmed! It seems that the image doesn't match." The agent paused, "Yuanyuan, I have another piece of gossip, but it's not true. It is said that Director Zhen once said: The image of the heroine of this project should be 'charming, but not coquettish'."

"So, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei are also excluded!" Gao Yuanyuan's eyes became brighter and brighter. "Does Jiecheng Film and Television have other contracted actresses?"

"Emmm, yes."

"Who?"

"Dong Lifan."

"Who is Dong Lifan? Is he new?"

"The rich woman in Crazy Race."

Gao Yuanyuan:ヾ(д)

"Hey, Sister Yuanyuan, why did you think of calling me, your brother?"

When you are out, you give yourself the names you want.

Even Zhen Hao knows that there are a dozen old ladies. Emmm, with a dozen young ladies protecting her, she can dominate the kindergarten without any action herself!
Not to mention the experienced Zhen Jiecheng. "I almost forgot about my sister, so I'll have to call you!" Gao Yuanyuan's giggle came from the phone, "By the way, Jiecheng, you..."

"I'm calling you by your name now, why do I need to use honorifics? Sister, just 'you', not 'you'."

"Okay, Jiecheng, are you still in the capital now?"

"Yes!" Zhen Jiecheng replied, "What's wrong, sister? Is there anything?"

"Nothing happened, I just went back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year after work and was bored." Gao Yuanyuan paused and decided not to argue anymore. They were all smart people, and talking too much would only make them seem hypocritical.

Directly invite: "Jiecheng, if you are not busy, can I invite you to dinner?"

"It's impossible not to be busy, but there is definitely time for a meal. Sister Yuanyuan, time? Place?"

"Let's do it tonight. I'll call you then."

"Okay, I'll wait for your letter then!"

After hanging up the phone, he continued to work on the script of "Joker".

The box office of "Interstellar" made the already enthusiastic Warner Bros. even more enthusiastic, and its attention to the "Joker" project also increased day by day.

Regarding Zhen Jiecheng's strict requirements for the male lead, Hua Na has already started the selection process. Not only famous actors, but also movie kings, even unknown newcomers have been included in the selection process.

This job is quite complicated, but in order to meet Zhen Jiecheng's needs, Huana has no choice but to do it.

As for the dark plot content, it doesn’t matter!
Criticizing she? That's normal, everyone does it!
Satire the insurance industry? Oh my! We in Hollywood are the best at this!
The insurance industry belongs to the financial field, and we West Coast artists are criticizing the Wall Street scum on the East Coast!
The specific grievances and love-hate relationship between the two is too complicated.

In any case, Hollywood has used movies to incite hatred against Wall Street. Similarly, Wall Street is also trying to use financial capital to achieve control over the film, television and entertainment industries.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Enter!"

"Boss, this is the information sent by Huana about some of the actors who have passed the preliminary screening, including basic information and images."

"Project it so I can see it."

"Good boss."

Zhen Jiecheng put down his work and lit a cigarette. After his assistant quickly connected the equipment and turned on the projector, he looked up and watched carefully.

"next."

"continue!"

"pass."

"Pass!"

It can be seen that Huana has made careful selections, but they are still far from meeting Zhen Jiecheng's requirements.

There were indeed some individual actors who made Zhen Jiecheng's eyes light up a little, but they were ultimately eliminated.

It's not that easy to play a clown!
Heath Ledger set a great example before us, and there is also the added sentimentality of his passing.

If the taste is a little bit off, the difference will be obvious.

There is no such thing as half-measure or compromise. Either you succeed or you fail, there is no middle ground!

Zhen Jiecheng has already planned to try with the original actor Phoenix.

What is uncertain is: In 08, he announced his retirement and transformed into a rapper. He was carefree and unruly for two years, which caused a lot of negative news. It was not until this year that Phoenix returned to the film industry that he had the ability to create a successful film. This needs to be questioned.

Most importantly, Phoenix, whose playboy heart has not yet settled down and whose body has become fat, has the perseverance and determination to meet Zhen Jiecheng's strict requirements. This is an even bigger question mark!

Thinking of this, Zhen Jiecheng got even more headache.

Unfortunately, Matthew McConaughey's schedule is full with both "Bernie" and "Mud".

Otherwise, Zhen Jiecheng will have a backup option.

"Notify Hua Na that this batch is unqualified, continue selecting!"

"Good boss."

After working hard for most of the day, all he got was disappointment, and Zhen Jiecheng couldn't help but feel a little bored.

Just then Gao Yuanyuan called, Zhen Jiecheng put on his coat and left the company.

Exactly!

Go out for a walk and relax.

Look at the girls, it’s a feast for the eyes.

"You look so worried. How come Interstellar is so high in box office, but it still can't satisfy you?" Gao Yuanyuan said jokingly while pouring tea for Zhen Jiecheng, "Wow, it broke 100 million in three days and 200 million in five days. It even broke the box office record of Avatar in our country!"

"It's already the tenth day, and the box office curve hasn't dropped much. Jie Cheng, you're amazing."

"No, it can't be described as amazing. It should be described as too powerful, ridiculously powerful!"

Gao Yuanyuan knows how to express the value of emotions.

Zhen Jiecheng admitted that he was secretly happy, but he still had some self-awareness.

Wave your hands,
"Sister Yuanyuan, you can't say that. The box office has not dropped, on the one hand because of the audience's support, and on the other hand because of the uniqueness of science fiction, it is not much affected by piracy."

"Watching on a disc and watching on a screen are two completely different experiences. There is also a clear gap between ordinary screens and 3D cinemas and IMAX theaters. Many moviegoers didn't buy IMAX tickets at first, but later watched the movie a second or even a third time. Coupled with the high ticket prices of 3D cinemas and IMAX theaters, this effect was achieved."

After a pause,
"As for breaking several records of Avatar. First, I had the home advantage. Just look at the global box office and you'll know the difference is huge. Second, a year has passed and the number of screens in our country has increased too much. We both hit the bull's eye, but Cameron used the basic sight and I used the zoom scope. How can it be the same?"

"I don't care. I just know that you are really, really great, Jiecheng!" Gao Yuanyuan rested her elbows on the table, her chin supported by her hands, her peach blossom eyes filled with admiration. "Even so, you are still humble and sober, which is even better!"

Every bite is delicious.

He tilted his head back and blinked.

If the scene was changed, with mosaics.

hiss!
As expected of an actress whose reputation in the film and television industry is second only to Xun Ge’er’s status in the rock circle, Yuanyuan understands directing!

Coupled with her natural wife attributes, there is no doubt that she understands Beijing Film Academy directors better than Zhang Jingchu!

Zhen Jiecheng was about to respond.
"dududu~"

The cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

After a quick glance, I saw that it was from the person in charge of Huana in China.

"Hey?"

"Director Zhen, about the Oscars at the end of February."

Oscar? Gao Yuanyuan caught the key information and her breathing stagnated slightly.

Although I have walked the red carpet of the Europa League three awards several times, and although I also know that the gold content of the Oscars in the field of film and television art is not as high as that of the Europa League three awards.

Even so, it did not stop Gao Yuanyuan from looking up to Oscar from a high place.

After all, if you have an Oscar, you are connected with Hollywood, which means you are a real international superstar!

"You guys decide. I don't have any expectations anyway."

"It's better to use a knife than to fight for a little scraps."

"Well, just get a few more nominations."

Zhen Jiecheng's refusal seemed so casual that Gao Yuanyuan wanted to interrupt and answer for Zhen Jiecheng again.

No, brother, dad, grandpa! That's an Oscar, you're just going to turn it down?

"There's one more thing, Director Zhen."

"Well, you said."

"An actor learned that we were looking for a male lead for this project, and he asked about you through McConaughey and Hathaway. He wanted to read the script. In addition, he also hoped to communicate with you in person to understand your vision for the film, about the competition, especially about the Oscars."

"Who is it? Why are you asking for so many things?" Zhen Jiecheng frowned and his tone became a little unfriendly.

"Emmm, Leonardo Dicaprio."

"Oh~" Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth and her eyes widened.
