MTL - Strange Life of a Cat-Chapter 338 Super star
"Well, this is where you will live for the next three months." A receptionist opened the door and led Zheng Tan and his party into the house.
This man was sent by Yang Yi. The residence Yang Yi has been arranged. There are three rooms and one living room, enough to arrange Zheng Tan and the people brought here.
"What else do you need to see?" The man asked.
Charlie took a look around, especially the room arranged for Zheng Tan. As an "assistant", he has been serving these years. Charlie has already understood Zheng Tan's preferences, and at a glance, you can see that they are suitable no. Obviously, Yang Yi still valued Zheng Tan, and Charlie was very satisfied with the layout of the room.
When arranging the house, Yang Yi asked Charlie and Dao Jiao about them. Naturally, Zheng Tan didn't have some things that he hated, such as nasty food and certain smells. The windowsills are also newly equipped with protective nets to prevent accidents.
"Not yet." Charlie said with satisfaction.
"That line, if you need anything, just call me directly." The man exchanged contact information with Charlie, and said after the daily arrangements, he left. He also had to report to Yang Yi and arrange follow-up. Things. Even though he was curious about the black cat, he was patient. As one of Yang Yi's confidantes, he knew what to ask and what should not be asked. Curiosity is okay, but you have to have a sense of proportion.
This time with Zheng Tan, besides Charlie, there were four other people who were not all "serving" Zheng Tan. Charlie was enough. They came over at the request of Yang Yi and Kong Han. Guo's studio works as a lighting engineer and some as a sound engineer. Either way, they are experienced in shooting cats, so they know which light will affect the mood of the cat, which sounds will interfere with the cat, etc., and they also study the sound of cats.
In Zheng Tan's view, many of these are superfluous, but Yang Yi and Kong Han were coming over, and Xiao Guo personally sent them over. Zheng Tan didn't go for more, and he was not a payer anyway. Worry so much.
Even now the profession is pet shooting. However, most of the people in Xiao Guo's studio are from class and know the industry well.
The movie has not yet started shooting, and several people are sitting on the sofa watching TV while discussing. Zheng Tan monopolized a sofa. Listen to them chat.
The city faces the sea. It's quite prosperous. I heard that it was Kong Han's hometown. The choice of shooting location here was decided by Kong Han as a screenwriter and director. Someone was criticizing the "screenwriter and director" phenomenon a while ago. Saying this would lead to the movie "no depth, low creativity".
In fact, speaking, this script is not really innovative. Some comics and novels have similar stalks, but Kong Han seems to have his own obsession, just like the original documentary filmed by Yang Yi. With only one opportunity, he can make They picked up this obsession again.
I heard that Kong Han was also a cat owner, and he has been raising since childhood.
Another person with a story.
Yang Yi arranged the high floor of this community to see the sea. From the 18th to the 20th floor, Yang Yi arranged people. Zheng Tan is on the 20th floor, and he can see the distance from the window of the living room. Sea.
Zheng Tan looked at the window next to him. The sky outside the window was bluer than Chuhua City. Obviously, the environment and air quality here were much better than that of Chuhua City.
Charlie and the other people were discussing the news they knew. The film actor had already made a decision. When they were in the elevator just now, they saw a guy who was suspected of being an economic man and recognized it intuitively.
"Hey, you say, is Wei Wen here?" A man of the same age as Charlie asked expectantly.
A few of the guys got together first to discuss women, and Wei Wen as the starring role was naturally one of the focus of their discussion. In addition to Wei Wen, they also discussed several supporting actresses.
"I didn't see Wei Wen, but when I went to the parking, I saw a girl who can cause a big wave ~ every movement." The talking man also stretched his hands to his chest, his face was awkward.
"Is it also the crew?" The others asked with bright eyes.
The man shook his head. "It doesn't look like it."
A few others chattered for a while, but soon got excited to discuss other actors.
As I said, the doorbell rang.
Charlie, who was closest to the door, looked at the door through cat eyes and gestured to a few people on the sofa. A few people looked at each other and acted quickly, without any inconvenience when discussing some unsuitable topics for children just now. No way, they had to be cautious, and if something went wrong, they would have to roll directly.
Before coming here, Xiao Guo told them that the crew was not their working group or the group that originally made the documentary. There may be many small actions in it. A cat can't take precautions. Naturally, they have to deal with it. It's not that they maliciously speculate on people's hearts, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's always good to be cautious. No one wants to do it by setting up a ladder to harm their own interests.
In came a woman who was looking at her twenties. Women always made men less wary. The woman was dressed in casual clothes, black hair and shoulders. Although she was unsightly, her eyes were bent when she laughed, and she looked very pleased.
"I'm sorry to disturb you. I live downstairs. My surname is Yang, Yang Huaixi, Yixing Culture. Do you also belong to the" Black Cat "crew?"
The woman named Yang introduced herself. She was the agent of several small actors downstairs. I didn't talk too much. After a few chats with Charlie, I put down my gifts and left.
Closing the door, Charlie started talking again.
"Clustering a door with gifts? Or high-end tea!"
"Exploring the truth?"
"Same name as Yixing's boss ..."
"It probably doesn't matter, is it necessary to visit in person?"
"That's true."
"But it's always better to guard against it. I think someone downstairs wants to take advantage of our house ... Zt is in his early days."
Zheng Tan only listened to Charlie's discussion. The sofa was facing the window. When Yang Huaixi came in, he didn't see Zheng Tan because of the angle problem. Zheng Tan didn't care about those people either. What he was thinking now was what Dao Jiao ordered when he left Chuhua City.
When filming a documentary, Dao Jiao said that it should not be too "smart" and that it would "go wrong", and that the film made more technical requirements for "going wrong", so Zheng Tanzheng wondered how to "go wrong" naturally.
Compared with Zheng Tan, who is leisurely thinking about how to go wrong, the protagonists and supporting actors are much more nervous, especially the newcomers selected this time, for fear that things will go wrong. A mistake may reduce the good impression of the director and big boss on them.
of course. Making friends with the crew, especially some of the more important characters, is also very good for those little actors, otherwise Yang Huaixi will not come up to inquire about the situation.
When tempting each other over the temporary residence. the other side. Yang Yi listened to his report. Talking to Kong Han.
Although there were not many films made by Kong Han, the response was pretty good, but he was young. It has not worked out a satisfactory reputation in China. Kong Han likes to use newcomers. This time, the protagonist of the film is not really a big name. The so-called popular naughty people in the circle sound like a smile, and there are so many flashes, not to mention the idol line, Several important supporting characters are people who have never heard of names, and several new signers. Of course, most of them belong to Yixing Culture.
Yang Yi is rich. He invests money in his own people, and others will not say anything. As for who will really win, it depends on their performance. In this play, there is no superstar, Yang Yi, the big boss of Yixing Culture, came to the scene to watch the filming. What this meant was that the actors of Yixing knew well, so they were nervous.
Kong Han and Yang Yi are high standards. Kong Han felt that the computer stunts in the film to some extent made up for the actor's inability to perform certain difficult or dangerous actions, but never performed the unique and charming expressions of the actors. Many well-known actors often rely on a smile and a look to reach the state of being intrigued, so that people remember it. Therefore, Kong Han always felt that using real cats for this film, less computer effects would be more effective.
And Yang Yi, his focus is not on this film, unlike the documentary film that really spends his energy on pinning emotions, the upcoming film is just a channel, and it is a performance opportunity he provides to his actors.
Yixing culture is not as good as those of some historical entertainment giants. Therefore, Yang Yi wants to make stars and make his own superstar that belongs to Yixing culture.
The top of the professional actors pyramid is a very rare number of superstar-level actors.
There are many stars from all walks of life in China, but the number of real movie stars is very small, and there are very few super stars that can bring investment trust and box office returns. In the domestic film market, the number of real superstars that can attract viewers to the cinema is extremely scarce. There are only about ten men and women, and this is the overall lineup of the Chinese movie market formed by integrating resources from the three sides of the strait. Other actors, although their fame seems to be hot, in fact can not be a guarantee of the box office, which contains many names familiar to the audience.
At present, the value of superstars is more reflected in investment issues. When a movie can have a truly luxurious cast, the investment problem is immediately solved. When a movie has a group of big stars, the box office in the future can be expected ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Investors will be willing to invest huge sums of money, not only to pay actors, but also to use in scenes, stunts, equipment, etc. Every aspect. Therefore, when a commercial film tries to obtain some creative possibilities in creation, these big stars must be escorted-for directors, this is often a very helpless reality. Confucius is a minority in the directors' circle. But later on, this is the rule of this business era.
Only a superstar can make Yixing culture truly rise in this circle.
Once when filming "City. People. Cat", Yang Yi thought about making Zheng Tan a superstar. Sometimes, as long as it works properly, animals are more likely to attract box office than people. Have. It is a pity that his wish was not fulfilled. The reaction of Jiao Jia in the documentary shows the clue. This time when the movie was signed, the contract was directly dispelled by Yang Yi.
"So, do you want to see those sprouts?" Kong Han looked at the person across the table.
Yang Yi grinned, jokingly: "In fact, I look forward to watching the seedlings and a cat play. Don't think that cat will only do what is required."
However, Yang Yi estimated that the cat was probably awkward. (To be continued ...)
