'In this interview, we finally know the best director's real age now... 18 years old! '
'It's hard to imagine what other best directors are doing at this age? Zhu Shi had just entered the film school at this time, and he might be thinking about the content of the short film assignment assigned by the teacher. Huang Xuefeng, who was not born in a professional school, did not continue to go to school after graduating from high school. He took a job as a truck driver under the introduction of a friend...'
'Wei Lan created the record of the youngest Best Director winner at the Golden Tripod Awards, with seven nominations and five wins. This is also her first film as a director. With such a dazzling achievement, she has appeared in the public eye. Obviously, this young director has a promising future...'
'She said that she is not continuing her studies due to health reasons. She is not a student of a drama school. Director Wei has not disclosed more reasons. We can only wish her good health.'
'…The most surprising thing is that during the interview, we got the news that she is already preparing for her next movie.'
'Director Wei said it is a story with a modern background, and the main character is a woman. The specific subject matter has not been revealed yet. At present, the reputation of Director Wei's two works is very good. From martial arts to science fiction, the subject matter is also very different. I wonder what kind of story her movie with a modern background will be...'
'She is like a new world that has just been discovered. We cannot conclude from past experience what she is good at and what type of person she is suitable for. We can only say that youth has countless opportunities and infinite possibilities. Let us wait and see.'
This issue of the magazine contains exclusive information disclosed by Wei Lan, and its sales are very good today when paper media is declining.
The news that the new best director is only eighteen years old instantly set off various social media platforms and even ranked second on the hot search list.
The first is the #Golden Tripod Award-winning work#, and the third is #"Rural Teachers" sweeping five awards#.
Wei Lan's Weibo also gained a large number of fans in the first place. Wei Lan, who originally gained nearly 200,000 fans during the promotion period of "Rural Teachers", gradually gained more than one million fans after the movie was broadcast. After winning the Golden Tripod Award this time, the number of her fans directly reached more than 10 million and is approaching 20 million.
In her latest Weibo post, she took a photo of the trophy after winning the award, with the simple words "Congratulations" written on it.
There are already nearly 80,000 replies to this Weibo post, many of which are congratulations, and many of which came after seeing today's hot searches.
"That's amazing! Is Director Wei really only 18 years old?"
"Why don't you continue to go to school? If it's a physical problem, it can be solved through coordination, right? Even if it's a disability, you have many conditions that can be admitted by drama academies as an exception, right? At this age, you should continue to study hard."
'The person above really loves being a mother. She said it was due to health reasons and it is not convenient to disclose the reasons. Don't judge others by your own standards.'
"Director Wei should just keep making movies! Her works have been taken to the drama academy for appreciation. Is her resume as impressive as that of an ordinary tutor? Besides, she has already won the most prestigious award in the field of directing. Except for the dean level, no tutor would dare to say that he would teach her, right?"
No matter how much the onlookers speculated, they could not guess that Wei Lan's physical condition at this time was much more complicated than they thought.
If she really wants to go to school, she can only go to kindergarten at present...
…
The fashion circle and the entertainment circle are two completely different circles, but they overlap and are involved with each other in many ways.
Inevitably, people in the fashion industry also need to pay attention to the developments in the entertainment industry. After all, celebrity endorsements and attendance at various events play an indispensable role in brand fame.
LT is a well-known luxury brand that started out as a manufacturer of men's formal wear. This morning, when the regional director Dai Yingrui was watching the latest news on the entertainment industry, he discovered that the clothes worn by the Golden Tripod Award winner were high-end business suits from LT's own brand.
This is part of their high-end dress collection that is semi-sold to the public.
When it comes to the term semi-external, we have to mention LT...or the marketing strategy of most high-end luxury brands.
As a well-known luxury brand, dresses priced below 200,000 are sold in the brand store to anyone who has money. However, once the price exceeds 500,000, it depends on the social status of the seller. In order to maintain its own status, the brand does not allow some clothes to be bought by nouveau riche. They are only sold to VIP customers whose value and status are known to the brand.
This category is usually called catwalk style or custom-made style, and its target sellers are wealthy people with both money and social status. The dresses that brands rent to celebrities are often dresses from this category, which not only gives the celebrities a good reputation, but also serves as advertising for the brands.
However, Dai Yingrui had no memory of renting a dress to Yang Xingyuan recently, so it was impossible for such news not to be reported.
So Dai Yingrui quickly called his subordinates and quickly found out that the seller of the dress was Wei Mingjie.
With Wei Mingjie's wealth and status, he is naturally one of LT's senior customers, qualified enough to buy their high-end dresses.
Unexpectedly, this dress was not worn by Wei Mingjie himself. If he gave it to someone of lower status, no one would be against him, but for the greater good, there is still a certain risk that the brand would be listed as a target of non-doing. However, it is obvious that this dress was worn by an actor who went on stage to receive the Best Actor trophy, which was a godsend for LT.
Soon, Dai Yingrui learned the cause and effect of the matter from his subordinates.
"I heard that Jeec received pressure from Wu Mingcheng's team. In order to make Wu Mingcheng wear their dress at the next event, their brand withdrew the dress that had been agreed to be given to Yang Xingyuan..."
Dai Yingrui burst out laughing after hearing this. Jeec also mainly produces high-end men's formal wear and can be said to be their biggest competitor.
"Immediately refund 60% of the purchase price of the dress to Mr. Wei, and then send a high-level VIP card to Mr. Yang's agent."
…
"LT's senior VIP?" Yang Xingyuan looked at the black card handed over by his agent Wang Qi, a little confused: "Why did they suddenly give me this card?"
The previous large-scale job-hopping of Wei's film actors and actresses naturally took most of their agents with them. It is difficult for stars to avoid agents if they want to change jobs.
Wang Qi is a very powerful gold medal agent in the circle. She has promoted many well-known movie stars. In the end, she had an underground love affair with a nominated actor, but was betrayed by him. She was once notorious for a while, and later joined Wei's at the invitation of Wei Mingjie. Although she does not like to take power, she is the most powerful and prestigious agent in Wei's agent team.
Originally, she didn't sign any stars and was mainly responsible for leading other agents. Now that Yang Xingyuan has joined Wei Lan's studio, Wei Mingjie personally invited Wang Qi to be his agent.
An actor who won a movie emperor as soon as he debuted is naturally worthy of Wang Qi's attention.
Both of them are mature people, and the communication is very smooth. Wang Qi smiled and said, "Because you wore their dress on the day of the Golden Tripod Awards, the brand has reacted now. Don't worry, you will have many opportunities to receive such cards in the future. This is the star effect."
Yang Xingyuan nodded: "So this card means that I can get a discount when I buy a dress from them?"
"Pfft." Wang Qi laughed again after hearing this: "You really don't understand this at all. No, this card is a symbol of a certain status. Maybe they will give you a discount internally, but the amount of the discount will not be announced to the public. This card also means that you can buy dresses from LT's high-end line."
"Oh..." Yang Xingyuan put away the black card. Although he received a full 10 million yuan in film remuneration this time, he had no intention of spending several million to buy a piece of clothing for the time being.
"But you don't really need it for now." Wang Qi said: "When you attend an event, you can borrow it directly from the brand. They will be happy to lend it to you... The most important thing right now is your next work."
She looked at Yang Xingyuan seriously: "Although celebrities need to maintain their exposure in front of the audience, your debut is the starting point of the Best Actor. If you are not short of money, I hope you can focus on acting, consolidate your position as the Best Actor, and then slowly consider taking on some high-end endorsements..."
"Yes, I have enough money now, I just want to act well." Yang Xingyuan said.
"It's a good idea." Wang Qi smiled slightly: "Have you read the three scripts I gave you before? Two movies and one TV series, all of which are starring actors, and..."
Wang Qi also showed an expectant look as he spoke: "Have you asked her about Director Wei's new movie?"
No one in Wei's company has ever seen Wei Lan, and only a few people have her phone number. Wang Qi's agent has an agreement with Yang Xingyuan, and is considered half a member of the studio, but he still has never had contact with Wei Lan. In the eyes of many employees of Wei's company, this director is synonymous with youth, mystery, and power.
"I asked." Yang Xingyuan nodded, thinking of the conversation he had with Wei Lan over the phone that morning.
Wei Lan: "The protagonist of my new film is a woman, the most outstanding characters are three women, and there is only one male supporting role that you can play."
"It doesn't matter if I play a supporting role or not." Yang Xingyuan certainly didn't mind hearing this: "I think I can learn a lot from Director Wei."
"Hmm..." Wei Lan seemed to scratch his head: "This role may also be a challenge for you."
"I'm not afraid of the challenge, Director Wei!" Yang Xingyuan said hurriedly.
Wei Lan thought for a moment and said, "After all, you are now an award-winning actor. I will send you the information about this role and you can discuss it with your agent."
Wang Qi looked at the character information on Yang Xingyuan's phone, but he didn't have any special expression. He just looked up at him and calmly analyzed the pros and cons: "From your reaction to the fashion circle just now, if you want to be competent for this role, you first have to learn a lot of things that you may not understand. He is just a supporting role, and your preparation for this may be thankless. Secondly, this character is gay, and his personality and hobbies are also somewhat "feminine" in the universal concept..."
"Director Wei's movies are of course good, but from a personal perspective, if you decide to play this role after just playing a rural teacher, your personal image will definitely be affected. Director Wei also said that the outstanding characters in this play are all female. Generally speaking, if you want to play this role, the effort and reward will not be proportional. But after all, you are an artist, and I am just your agent. The choice is yours."
Yang Xingyuan smiled after hearing this: "I don't care about any personal image. I'm just an actor. My job is to play the role well."
Wang Qi looked at him deeply and then nodded.
"Okay, let's do as you think."
Wang Qi couldn't say that he was dissatisfied with Yang Xingyuan's choice. Although taking on this role was not worth it for him financially, it also made Wang Qi feel that Yang Xingyuan was grateful and reliable. As long as Wang Qi treated him sincerely, he would be a person worthy of long-term cooperation.
"Lanlan, do you have any idea for your next movie?" Wei Mingjie asked Wei Lan as soon as he got home from get off work. This was something he had been curious about after reading the newspaper at the company.
When I entered the room, I saw that the tatami in Wei Lan's room was covered with fashion magazines.
Wei Lan was wearing a white velvet one-piece panda-style pajamas and was sitting on the ground with her back to him, flipping through a magazine. This was bought by Ye Luoxue after she discovered that Wei Lan liked to use the image of a panda. With her figure, she was extremely cute. Every time Ye Luoxue saw her recently, she would hug her and give her a good hug.
When Wei Mingjie looked at this shape, his heart melted. His hands were itching to pick it up and suck it.
At this time, Wei Lan had turned around: "Yes."
She looked at Wei Mingjie with bright eyes: "Dad, we have a lot of money now, right?"
"Yes." Wei Mingjie smiled and said, "We made a lot of money this time, and we can use it all to invest in your next movie. If it's not enough, we can also get more investment from the company. Do you have any requirements now?"
Wei Lan blinked: "Casting."
Wei Mingjie picked up Wei Lan and said, "No problem. What kind do you want?"
"Well... I don't know for now, but now that we have money, let's start with the movie queen!"
“…”
Wei Mingjie: Girl, even though we are rich now, we can’t just invite a movie queen to an interview casually…
