Chapter 216 Military Art School Prince
The main creative team of the movie "Those Years" is finally together.
Its core character, of course, is Gu Qingge, because as [Nan Gezi], she is the screenwriter of this movie and also plays the heroine "Lu Manwu".
In addition, she is also an investor and financial backer, which makes her position in the entire crew very transcendent.
She can easily add and change the scenes in various ways and act like a big shot.
But she certainly wouldn't do that and affect the entire crew.
Gu Qingge has a very good sense of the overall situation. She also has excellent acting skills and is definitely the director's favorite type of actor.
After all, once her skill card is activated, she becomes a dramatic actress and never fails to perform.
However, the actors who act opposite her may feel uncomfortable because her acting skills are too stable and she always maintains the best condition, which puts a lot of pressure on others.
Although the current main task of this system is that as long as she becomes the heroine of a movie and the movie is successfully released, the task will be completed, and there is no performance requirement.
But no matter what, "Those Years" is her first movie, so it would be better if it could be a hit.
The director of this film is Guo Yifan, a very outstanding new generation director. His debut work won many film awards.
Many people may not believe it, but Guo Yifan’s dream is to shoot a science fiction special effects blockbuster that truly belongs to China.
China in this world is still very weak in the field of science fiction and special effects blockbusters, but it is very strong in fantasy and fairy tale special effects blockbusters, and its film industry is only slightly weaker than Hollywood.
China's fantasy and fairy tale blockbusters can easily harvest votes from countries within the surrounding Greater China cultural circle.
As for why Guo Yifan chose to direct "Those Years", one reason was that he had also seen this very popular youth film. He personally liked this work very much and felt honored to be able to direct it.
The second reason, of course, is that he also needs to continue to accumulate his qualifications as a director. He wants to make a commercial film with a small investment and a high box office to prove himself.
There is no doubt that a youth film like "Those Years" has box office potential, as it is very realistic, full of laughs and has a tear-jerking ending.
He is a director with great vision. He believes that this refreshing youth film will redefine youth films and make many audiences feel refreshed and nostalgic.
In addition, Guo Yifan also received news that the heroine has been confirmed to be played by "Gu Qingge".
So what's there to hesitate about?
He had to take this movie, for fear that it would be snatched away by other directors who were eyeing it.
Although Gu Qingge has only acted in one web drama "The Twins of the Immortal World", her personal appeal has been fully demonstrated in this drama.
Many viewers are willing to pay for this drama just for the role of the "ruthless empress" she plays.
Now, the hot serialization of Teacher [Nan Gezi]'s "The Great Ruler" has also rekindled the popularity of the paid online drama "The Twins of the Immortal World".
Gu Qingge's income from this drama is continuous, and she gets a share of the profits.
Through the drama "The Twins of the Immortal World", the original director, Yang Hansong, who also graduated from Huayi, became really rich!
He has never stopped receiving offers for online dramas and TV series, and he has also received further attention from Haili Film and Television.
Many colleagues in the industry were extremely jealous of Yang Hansong and felt that this guy was too lucky!
Obviously, the ratings and performance of the drama "The Twins of the Immortal Realm" were quite average at the beginning, and it was completely carried by Gu Qingge alone in the end...
As a result, Yang Hansong was also considered to have made great contributions because he was very courageous and almost made the character played by Gu Qingge become a real heroine in the later period.
However, many directors put themselves in Yang Hansong's shoes and think that if they were in his shoes, they would definitely do the same!
After all, this is a paid web drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time. Since we know whose parts the audience likes to watch, we will just film it according to their preferences.
Besides, which director would be unwilling to give more scenes to an actress like Gu Qingge who has outstanding acting skills and beautiful fighting scenes?
Therefore, some jealous colleagues thought that Yang Hansong was just a gangster who clung to Gu Qingge's thigh.
Since the huge success of "The Twins of the Immortal World", Gu Qingge has received quite a lot of film offers, and even many large-scale film and television dramas have come to him.
After evaluation, many investors believe that with the "fans" that Gu Qingge has accumulated in the music field, as long as her acting skills in film and television dramas are not bad, there is at least an 80% chance that this drama will be successful.
After all, some "fans" are very fanatical about Gu Qingge and pay for her dramas without any hesitation.
It is predictable that when Gu Qingge's debut film is released, her "fans" will definitely buy tickets to support her.
The capital side thinks that these fans are extremely high-quality leeks, and by cooperating with Gu Qingge, they can naturally reap the leeks easily.
But unfortunately, after starring in "The Twins of the Immortal World", Gu Qingge seemed to be less passionate about acting.
This could not help but make some of the production crews who failed to invite Gu Qingge to participate in the show complain -
Gu Qingge, Gu Qingge, you are an outstanding student in the Performance Department of Huayi, and acting is your real main occupation!
Don’t let yourself go down the road of music and never look back!
Why can't you do more business? If other female artists had your popularity and traffic, they would have already taken on various dramas to make a lot of money.
You don't even have to go to the crew, and you can just rely on your amazing skills in cutting out pictures to get a sky-high salary.
Unfortunately, Gu Qingge couldn’t hear their complaints at all, and even if she did, she wouldn’t take it to heart.
She now has the capital to make movies and TV series centered around herself, so why would she want to participate in other people's productions?
She thinks what she likes is the most important.
In addition, she has always wanted to play a villainous female role, but many of the dramas that invited her to play the role of a silly and sweet female protagonist, or simply a vase role.
What’s the point of playing a female character like this?
In addition to the director, the male lead of "Those Years", who plays "Fu Jingnan", is played by Xia Ting, a school idol from the Performance Department of the "Military Art Academy".
The so-called "Military Art University" is the full name of the People's Army Art University.
Although it is not as famous as "Zhongyi" and "Huayi", the students there are definitely talented and outstanding.
Among them, those with outstanding results can almost all successfully enter the military art troupe and become players of the "national team".
Xia Ting is undoubtedly an extremely outstanding student in the Performance Department of the "PLA Art Academy". As a junior this year, he has already participated in several film and television dramas, as well as performed in many dramas and sketches. His acting skills have been recognized by many people in the industry.
What’s even more rare is that although Xia Ting is the “campus hunk” of the Military Art Academy and looks handsome, he seems to have a pretty good comedic talent! He’s really funny!
Although Gu Qingge had never met Xia Ting in person, she had searched for his information online. When she saw Xia Ting's face, she couldn't help but smile.
Isn’t this the Chen Teng from the original world, only he is a younger version!
When he was young, Uncle Teng’s appearance was indeed worthy of the title of “School Prince of the Military Art Academy”, and he could be compared with Yang Yang, who also holds the title of “School Prince of the Military Art Academy”.
It seems that Xia Ting is indeed suitable to play the male protagonist "Fu Jingnan", who is humorous, funny, literary, and loyal.
I just don’t know how good the young Xia Ting is at being funny.
In general, youth films are best performed by handsome men and beautiful women, even if it sometimes does not conform to the setting of the original work.
In the original novel of "Those Years", the appearance of the male protagonist "Fu Jingnan" is naturally not as handsome as Xia Ting, the school idol of the Military Art Academy.
However, when the production team was looking for a male actor, they certainly couldn't really find someone with ordinary appearance, as that would not be able to highlight the charm of the male lead at all.
If the movie "Those Years" is to be successful, the choice of the male lead is still very important.
After all, this is not a drama with a strong female lead, and the interaction between the male and female protagonists must have a CP feeling, otherwise how can the ending be "healing" and tear-jerking?
Since it is a youth film that sells emotions, it is necessary to capture the regret of missing out, so that the audience who spend real money to enter the cinema can feel a strong resonance.
Overall, Gu Qingge is quite satisfied with both the director and the male lead of "Those Years".
She even felt that even if she did not play the leading female role "Lu Manwu" in this project, the possibility of this youth film becoming a hit was quite high.
By then, the actress who replaced her to play "Lu Manwu" would have taken advantage, and Nan Gezi's fans might even mock Gu Qingge in return.
She doesn't even want such a great opportunity to play the leading role in a movie and rise to fame. Her vision for choosing movies is really bad!
This kind of thing has also happened in the original world, such as "Wolf Warrior 2".
The huge success of the original world's "Those Years" also made its heroine Chen Yanxi a hit, but God knows why she chose to play the "xiaolongbao" type of Xiaolongnu.
After Gu Qingge "reluctantly" agreed to star in "Those Years", the news was finally officially announced!
Everything is starting to get on track!
At this time, the readership of [Nan Gezi] was already in an uproar!
"My youth is over. I never thought that I would actually see the prototype of the heroine play the heroine in my lifetime!"
"As expected of Teacher Nan Gezi, sincerity can move mountains and break rocks!"
"It's really not easy to invite Gu Qingge. Teacher [Nan Gezi] must have lost all her hair trying to come up with the second couplet."
"That's right, Teacher [Nan Gezi] knelt down three times to invite Gu Qingge to come out of seclusion!"
"Even in this situation, Teacher [Nan Gezi] can still update 20,000 words a day. It really makes me cry..."
"This wave of support still has to be thanked to the argumentative tough guy [Remembering Jiangnan] for his support. After all, his video about the King of Kings was very influential and created a lot of second lines like [Lonely, cold window, empty widowhood]."
"The cooperation between Teacher Nan Gezi and Yi Jiangnan this time was truly perfect. I just wonder when they will continue to work together."
"I think it would be better for Teacher Nan Gezi to keep her distance from Yi Jiangnan. After all, the latter has a really bad reputation."
"What a joke! Teacher Nan Gezi can maintain a good relationship with anyone he wants. Yi Jiangnan is already hinting at him. The only one who can save Nan Gezi is himself!"
"Anyway, I'll give you a ticket for 'Those Years'!"
…
At the same time, in the men's dormitory of the "Military Art Academy", Xia Ting, the "Military Art Academy Grass" who will soon play the male lead "Fu Jingnan" in "Those Years", also saw the news...
