Chapter 345: Two-handed preparation
The cast of "Let the Bullets Fly" on Earth can be said to be unprecedentedly strong, with all the best actor and actress winners, and even Little Steel Cannon making a cameo appearance.
Of course, it was later said that most of the actors were deceived by Jiang Wen.
For example, Chow Yun-fat and Ge You, it is said that these two were deceived by Jiang Wen.
Of course, it's not just these two people, Hu Jun also seemed to have been fooled.
Let me put it this way.
It seems like almost all the actors were fooled.
But each of these actors has his own aura.
Especially the Iron Triangle, which is the rivalry between Huang Silang, Ma Bangde and Zhang Mazi, can be said to be very classic.
And everyone's personality and aura are different.
Just as Zhang Mazi appears domineering on the outside, Huang Silang is a smiling man with a dagger hidden behind his back, and Ma Bangde is a master at playing dumb.
It can be said that the three people have very different personalities, and each of them has his or her own strengths and weaknesses.
For Ma Bangde, Qi Pengfei is completely capable of playing this kind of cunning character. At the same time, as an actor, Qi Pengfei has great plasticity.
He can play the role of a gangster or an empire.
In short, Qi Pengfei is not himself in every role. On the contrary, he looks like everyone he plays, and you can even forget what he looks like originally.
That's exactly the case. For a key figure like Ma Bangde, Yu Xiaoshu felt that Qi Pengfei was the most suitable person.
For Qi Pengfei who has retired from the entertainment industry, he doesn't care about money. If he really needs money, he could have started making movies or even done some endorsements a long time ago.
You know, some veteran actors have no more plays to perform, but some veteran actors don't want to perform at all, so in recent years Qi Pengfei has either been performing in dramas or teaching.
He doesn't even want to take a look at the so-called entertainment industry.
The reason is simple. There is absolutely nothing in the current entertainment industry that is worthy of his attention.
It can even be said that in Qi Pengfei's opinion, the current entertainment industry is about to end.
It's really about to end.
Everyone's traffic comes first.
Qi Pengfei looked down upon this situation.
So he chose to retire, preferring to die rather than be involved in this crappy entertainment industry.
But some people are not like this.
Ning Fan is different.
Ning Fan is 63 years old this year and is considered an evergreen in the film industry.
Let me put it this way, Ning Fan has won almost all the honors that can be won in the film industry, and even won the Best Actor award for several consecutive years. Even at the age of 63, he is still very self-disciplined, as if he is an ageless male god.
Unlike Qi Pengfei, Ning Fan had made quite a few quality movies in the past few years, but in the past two years, most of the movies Ning Fan has made are bad.
But so what?
If you don't make money when you have it, you're a bastard.
Moreover, Ning Fan's pay is extremely high, sometimes as high as 80 million for a play.
But even so, there are still many people willing to invite Ning Fan.
On the one hand, Ning Fan is very popular with the audience, and sometimes there are viewers who pay for his films. On the other hand, Ning Fan can raise the lower limit of a movie.
That’s right, it was originally a rubbish movie, but in many cases, Ning Fan’s participation could have raised the standard of the movie.
Sometimes, if a movie is just passing the test, it may be able to take the movie to the next level.
Therefore, even though Ning Fan’s pay is already very high, there are still many people willing to use Ning Fan.
And Ning Fan is not a real miser.
At the beginning, many people thought that Ning Fan was just an actor who was greedy for money. What did it matter if he was a good actor? ?
What everyone hates the most is these old actors who only care about making money.
But some people think it is unfair.
If some fucking artists who only know how to cut out pictures and replace heads ask for 100 million yuan in remuneration, you can curse them as much as you want, but Ning Fan is different.
Ning Fan's acting skills are so good and he is so dedicated to his work, so what if his salary is 80 million?
That's right.
What happened again?
What's more, Ning Fan has always been very dedicated, and he can also improve the quality of a play.
Investors are not fools.
For many investors, if they cannot make money from Ning Fan, why should they pay Ning Fan so much?
Not to mention that everyone thought Ning Fan's pay was within a reasonable range.
Then, he was scolded a lot at first, but what no one expected was that Ning Fan wanted such a high salary not for himself, but to build roads.
That's right.
Ning Fan grew up in a rural area of China, where many roads are dirt roads. He knows what a road means to a rural area.
It is precisely because of this that Ning Fan has been quietly repairing the road.
He not only repaired the road in his own village.
Over the years, Ning Fan has almost silently built roads wherever they are needed in China, from east to west, from north to south.
This is really pretty awesome.
The most important thing is that Ning Fan himself has never said these things.
How did you know this later?
This was something the local government took the initiative to publicize. Because of Ning Fan's funds and the government's support and cooperation, another dirt road was built, and then they expressed their special thanks.
This exploded.
A bunch of people started leaving messages below to thank me.
This one said that the road on my side was repaired by Ning Fan.
The one who said that the road on my side was also repaired by Ning Fan.
It was as if a bunch of people just popped up.
Some people even joked that is there any road that Ning Fanxiu didn't build?
Because of this, Ning Fan became famous and his reputation instantly took a big turn.
Many people think that Ning Fan really doesn’t want to promote himself at all.
Too low-key.
You know, if these were some ordinary stars, they would have already set off firecrackers for promotion.
No.
Some celebrities even donate hundreds of thousands of dollars and buy a hot search on the entire Internet for publicity.
But look at Ning Fan, a lot of money has been spent on road construction over the years.
Then in addition to building roads, everyone discovered that Ning Fan had also established a public welfare nursing home in the local area.
Yes.
Nursing home.
And it is purely for public welfare.
According to Ning Fan, the speed of aging in rural areas has been getting faster and faster in recent years, and many elderly people have no one to help them.
So Ning Fan decided to help them.
It's very simple, what he wants to do is to hope that these elderly people can have a good life in their old age.
To this end, Ning Fan established a public welfare nursing home, which was invested and managed by the Fanren Fund founded by Ning Fan.
After all, you have to know that some nursing homes are quite shady and full of scams. Ning Fan's unified management has put an end to this phenomenon.
So it is precisely because of this that Ning Fan’s fans all said: “Brother Fan, just work hard on filming. We support you. You can film as long as you want.”
Good job.
Other artists basically can’t make bad money or make bad movies.
But Ning Fan’s side is different.
It's truly different.
All the fans hope that Ning Fan will continue to make bad movies. As long as Ning Fan makes bad movies, everyone’s first reaction will be that Ning Fan has no money to build roads again.
no way.
This is how Ning Fan’s reputation has been accumulated.
Of course.
Yu Xiaoshu doesn't care how much money Ning Fan needs. What he cares about is that Ning Fan is an actor with very good acting skills. Not only is his acting great, the image of this character is also changeable. And with such a variety of changes, Yu Xiaoshu believes that Ning Fan can really play the role of Huang Silang.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu knew that Ning Fan would not agree easily.
Stop joking.
Let a new director direct you, and he doesn't even know what the script is like?
How could Ning Fan agree at this time?
Then we can only rely on super powers.
But it’s not the “chao” like this, it’s the “banknote” like this.
Whether Ning Fan is doing practical things or really loves money, it doesn’t matter. As long as Ning Fan likes money, then there will be no problem at all.
He needed money, and Yu Xiaoshu could give Ning Fan money.
You name a price.
When Yu Xiaoshu met Ning Fan's agent, he said to him, "You can take a look at this script first. I know that I am a newcomer in the film industry, but I believe you have also seen my ability in TV dramas. Also, I think our cooperation is mutually beneficial and will be very beneficial to you. Brother Fan has made too many bad movies in the past two years, but his acting skills have not declined. I think Brother Fan needs a really good movie to stand up again, and this role in this movie is very suitable for Brother Fan...Also, Guo Zeqiang has agreed to participate in this movie. He is playing another role. He originally chose Brother Fan's role, but I personally think that this role can only be played by Brother Fan..."
Yu Xiaoshu said this half-truthfully.
Because he hasn't talked to Guo Zeqiang yet.
Guo Zeqiang and Ning Fan belong to the same period. They have competed for the Best Actor award several times, and the score was basically 50-50. However, in the past two years, both of them started making bad movies and making bad money.
At this time, you can't say anything else.
Everyone is making bad movies, so no one should criticize anyone else.
Of course, for Yu Xiaoshu, he felt that the two people had different ways of making money.
Ning Fan has always been in his comfort zone. Ning Fan's acting skills have not fallen behind, and he has also been honing his acting skills. However, Ning Fan has always been acting in his comfort zone and has basically not jumped out of it.
But Guo Zeqiang is different.
Every time Guo Zeqiang acts is different from the last time.
And he has always avoided being in his comfort zone.
So what happens?
Basically everyone thinks that it is difficult to tell the two apart.
Even the two people's agents sometimes compete secretly.
Another point is that the agents of both people are actually looking for good scripts.
Just like Yu Xiaoshu said, you can't keep relying on your past achievements, especially when the two of them are only in their 60s. To be honest, they haven't reached their peak yet.
After all, there are many actors in their 80s who are still able to be the leading male role on the planet.
Today's living standards are gradually improving, and the level of science and technology is also improving, so people's life expectancy is certainly not the same as before.
That's exactly the case. Ning Fan feels that he can still fight for a few more decades.
He told his agent a few days ago that if there was a good script, he would be willing to take a pay cut.
This is really what you think will come true.
Ning Fan's agent Da Fei decided to take a look at the script first.
After all, don’t worry about anything else, if the script is not good, then all we can talk about is money.
At this time, Dafei had been reading the script for almost two hours.
good.
He had a general understanding of the role of Huang Silang, but what was the only thing that made him a little unhappy?
This is a villain.
That's right.
For Dafei, Ning Fan has never played a villain before. If he plays a villain directly, will it be bad for Ning Fan's image?
In response, Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "This is what I said. Brother Fan's acting style is actually getting further and further into his comfort zone. But whether it's Brother Fan's acting skills or Brother Fan's image, he can definitely play more good roles..."
What Yu Xiaoshu said was half true and half false.
How does the saying go?
If it is really so comfortable in the comfort zone, then who would be willing to come out? ?
That's it.
For Ning Fan, he feels that his comfort zone is pretty good. Why should I come out?
But Yu Xiaoshu said: "You have to come out."
"You can let Brother Fan take a look at this role first. I think this is Brother Fan's best opportunity in the past ten years. I am confident in my script, and I am even more confident in Brother Fan. When I wrote this role, I put Brother Fan's face into it. I think that apart from Brother Fan, no one else can play Huang Silang's domineering aura."
Yu Xiaoshu didn't know whether Ning Fan was listening or not, but what he needed to do was to tell this agent Dafei two things.
First of all, I didn’t ask you to play this role, you also need it.
The second point is that if you don’t act, there are people vying to act.
As for money?
Those are all small things.
Do you think I, Yu Xiaoshu, look like someone who is short of money?
kindness.
Here, Da Fei said he wanted to talk to Ning Fan.
On the other side, Yu Xiaoshu met Guo Zeqiang and told him that Ning Fan had taken a fancy to the role of Zhang Mazi, but he thought only you, Guo Zeqiang, could play it.
In this role, you, Guo Zeqiang, can play the domineering character of Zhang Mazi.
Guo Zeqiang was willing to listen to this.
Over the years, has Guo Zeqiang been honing his acting skills?
Why?
Isn’t it because many people think that Guo Zeqiang’s acting skills are not as good as Ning Fan’s?
ten years.
Guo Zeqiang spent almost ten years preparing.
Why does he make all kinds of films?
It's because he wants to go through everything and then wait for the opportunity to compete with Ning Fan in the future.
I want to see who is stronger.
"So Ning Fan agreed to act?"
Guo Zeqiang asked Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu said without hesitation: "Of course."
