Chapter 347 Free is the best
It can be said that the school attaches great importance to Yu Xiaoshu’s casting.
You have to know that in recent years, artists working in the acting department of the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy have not been doing very well.
It's very simple. After all, the era of traffic has risen. At this time, it is becoming increasingly difficult for newcomers who are not handsome and do not have much background.
That's exactly the case. Most of the artists who graduated last year are not doing very well.
Even graduated artists don’t have a chance, let alone current students.
That's exactly what happened. When people in the school found out that Yu Xiaoshu came to the school for an interview, they were very happy.
People outside say that Yu Xiaoshu is the enemy of the film industry, but newcomers don’t really care.
yes.
Perhaps a bunch of big names in the film industry are a little concerned. After all, they think that Yu Xiaoshu has come to the film industry to grab a piece of the pie. Not only has he come to grab a piece of the pie, but he also says he wants to change the landscape.
How can we tolerate this?
If you change the structure, what will happen to the status of us actors?
So Yu Xiaoshu's words were indeed quite hateful.
But what about the other side???
Many people in the film industry don’t think Yu Xiaoshu can change anything.
The level of the film industry was not formed overnight. It can be said that over the years, the level of the film industry has been gradually formed.
That's right.
It took about 20 years for the film industry to develop to a high level. It took a full 20 years for everyone to gradually form the belief that the film industry is of high standard.
Now you, Yu Xiaoshu, just open your mouth and say that the TV drama and film industry are similar and there is no difference? ?
What the hell are you talking about?
Who believes it?
So it’s not quite right to say that Yu Xiaoshu is the public enemy of the film industry, but it is true that Yu Xiaoshu is not liked by some filmmakers.
But why don’t Ning Fan and Guo Zeqiang care?
It's simple, your status determines your vision.
These two people are almost at the top. They don’t care much about what Yu Xiaoshu said, and even think that what Yu Xiaoshu said is almost the same.
Think about it, both Ning Fan and Guo Zeqiang have acted in TV dramas, and the TV dramas they acted in when they were young were also quite good.
Neither of them thinks that TV dramas are inferior to movies.
But it's the market that chooses you. You can only make a few dollars by shooting a TV series, but it's a different story if you shoot a movie. For example, Ning Fan's pay is ridiculously high, and Guo Zeqiang's is almost the same.
So the two of them really don't care.
Similarly, for newcomers like those in film academies, they have no right to care.
Whether it is acting in TV series or movies, they have no say.
It's so cruel for newcomers.
And Yu Xiaoshu is ready to give these newcomers a chance.
Extras are also needed.
Up to now, Yu Xiaoshu has his own ideas about the cast of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Zhang Mazi’s brothers must have strong acting skills.
At the same time, all the actors are from TV dramas.
These people have no problem with their acting skills, but they have never acted in a movie. The reason they haven't acted in a movie is not because they don't want to, but on the contrary, they don't have the opportunity.
In this case, Yu Xiaoshu gave these people a chance.
As for the female characters in "Let the Bullets Fly", Yu Xiaoshu feels that two need special attention.
One is the county magistrate’s wife.
This role requires strong acting skills.
Because of poor acting skills, it is impossible to catch up.
Secondly, Yu Xiaoshu planned to find a county magistrate’s wife who had a strong aura.
Then he thought about it and thought of another movie queen, Chen Fei.
Chen Fei debuted very early. She debuted at the age of 6, and she is one of the rare actors who has been a child star all the way without going astray.
Of course, Chen Fei was vulgar when she was 30 years old. She was planning to marry a rich man at the age of 28, and then thought about retiring from the film industry. But she never expected that she would be cheated of money and sex.
Her entire fortune was defrauded, and not only that, she also owed 50 million in foreign debt.
At that time, 50 million was not a small amount.
What is the most important thing?
The most important thing is that Chen Fei thought she had met true love, but it turned out to be a big liar. Moreover, this scheme was not a scam, and Chen Fei's agent was also involved.
Later, Chen Fei found out that this man was her agent's boyfriend.
Thinking about it carefully is terrifying.
Because Chen Fei's agent is Chen Fei's best friend, this best friend knows Chen Fei too well. She knows what Chen Fei likes, what her hobbies are, what type of men she likes, what she likes to do in her daily life, etc.
Chen Fei’s best friends all knew all of this.
This is a scam.
It was a scam from the moment Chen Fei met this liar. All the so-called coincidences were designed.
Because of the injury this time, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, but Chen Fei could only force herself to cheer up, after all, she had to pay back the 50 million foreign debt.
Precisely because of this, Chen Fei can be said to have been making bad movies for almost three years.
I shoot all kinds of films.
As long as the pay is high, it's fine.
Chen Fei even shot some large-scale films.
She just wants to pay off her foreign debt.
It took Chen Fei three years to pay off his foreign debt.
Looking back on the three years of filming, Chen Fei believes that it was not completely useless for her.
Yes.
Because Chen Fei honed her acting skills by making bad movies, she finally reached a new peak in her career at the age of 40, and was offered numerous acting jobs for two consecutive years.
Although Chen Fei is 46 years old now, she does not have no movies to shoot because of her age. On the contrary, Chen Fei still has many film offers.
So, it is not easy for Yu Xiaoshu to invite Chen Fei.
This is not easy to fool.
After checking some information about Chen Fei, Yu Xiaoshu sighed.
never mind.
Just spend the money.
Yu Xiaoshu met Chen Fei's agent and said, "Tell me, how much does it cost to accept this script?"
Chen Fei’s agent: “???”
I haven't even read the script yet.
Let’s talk about money first?
Is Yu Xiaoshu so bold? ?
Chen Fei's agent was a little speechless and could only say: "Teacher Yu, Fei Fei actually respects you very much, and we also want to cooperate with you..."
"Okay, stop it. Stop being polite. I just want to ask you guys if you want to act in my new movie? Can you act in it?"
Yu Xiaoshu interrupted Chen Fei's agent Liu Ting and said.
Liu Ting smiled and said, "Of course I want to act in this, but Feifei's schedule is really not free recently..."
This is a polite refusal.
Yu Xiaoshu asked: "Money is not a problem, is it okay?"
Liu Ting shook her head and said, "Teacher Yu, it's not about the money."
"Okay, since it's not about money, let's take a look at the script."
Yu Xiaoshu handed the script to Liu Ting.
Liu Ting shook her head and said, "Teacher Yu, it's really not about the script. It's just that I don't have enough time."
It's impossible for Liu Ting to read the script.
If you read the script first, then you might really offend someone badly if you don’t act.
Now that's easier to say.
It's not about the script.
There is just no time in the schedule.
"Okay, got it."
Yu Xiaoshu stood up with the script in his hand: "We may have a chance to work together again."
This is not some face-slapping novel.
There is no need for anyone to fall out with each other.
Hello, I'm fine, hello everyone.
If cooperation is not possible, then it is also possible to end with a smile.
After Yu Xiaoshu left, Chen Fei came over and said, "Why don't you even read the script? Didn't you say that the script written by Yu Xiaoshu is good?"
"Fei Fei, Yu Xiaoshu wrote a good script. Under normal circumstances, I might agree to it, but think about how many people in the film industry Yu Xiaoshu has offended. Besides, he is so arrogant just after entering the film industry, and his foundation is not good. Even if the script is good, it will be difficult for him to make a comeback in the film industry. Movies require relationships and connections, which Yu Xiaoshu does not have."
Liu Ting shook her head slightly and said, "But there is no real quarrel in the entertainment industry. If that's the case, it would be awkward if our script was read. Now, we can only postpone the schedule, but we really don't have any schedule. After all, we just shot the crucial moment..."
certainly.
These are all reasons.
It is obvious that Liu Ting is not optimistic about Yu Xiaoshu's first film.
“That’s normal.”
Yu Xiaoshu was not surprised.
Even though he has such a great influence in the TV drama circle, many people in the film industry actually look down on him, but they just don't want to show it.
So in such a situation, do you think there will be any accidents if Chen Fei is unwilling?
There is no surprise.
That's normal.
Since Chen Fei doesn't want to, then we can only find another backup.
Yes.
It would be great if Chen Fei could agree, but if Chen Fei doesn't agree, Yu Xiaoshu does have another one.
And although she is a spare tire, she is actually a movie queen.
A true queen of the screen.
Zhong Xiu.
Zhong Xiu and Chen Fei are of the same age, but Zhong Xiu debuted later. She can be considered a senior of Yu Xiaoshu. Zhong Xiu debuted at the age of 20, but she won the Best Actress award for her first work. It can be said that she reached her peak as soon as she debuted.
But later on, Zhong Xiu seemed to be trapped in a curse. For a full 10 years, Zhong Xiu had no chance at all.
She finally proved herself again at the age of 35 and won the Best Actress award again.
Logically speaking, this is the time when the hard times should finally come to an end.
The result is not.
Yes.
no.
Later, Jong-su fell into a slump again. Ten years later, the 45-year-old Jong-su no longer had the opportunity to play a leading role.
Box office poison.
Today, Jong-soo is known as box office poison, and this title has remained for a full decade.
Once you have such a name, it will be very difficult to take it off.
It's really difficult.
Once you are given such a name, it is basically difficult to get rid of it.
First of all, because of this title, you basically don’t have many good opportunities to act anymore.
So now Jong-su can only play supporting roles sometimes, but even for supporting roles, some big productions don’t want to use her.
And sometimes the fucked-up thing is that even though a drama is clearly not Jong-su's responsibility, who made you known as box office poison?
Then if it's not you, then it's you.
In this way, 45-year-old Zhong Xiu has always wanted an opportunity.
She wanted to prove herself, it's not that I'm box office poison, but that the script is not good. If there is a good script, I can succeed.
But it's difficult.
Who dares to give Zhong Xiu this opportunity?
It's not easy to make a movie.
So Zhong Xiu could only wait. As she got older, the opportunities became fewer and fewer.
There is no way.
In fact, Zhong Xiu was almost resigned to his fate.
Then she waited for Yu Xiaoshu.
"I actually always felt that this play and this role must be played by you, because only you can play this image. Apart from you, I can't believe that anyone else can play it."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Zhong Xiu seriously.
Of course, he also said these words to Chen Fei.
None of this can be taken seriously.
It's just like when women sometimes say to men: You are really bad, it means you still have a chance, but if they say you are really good, then you have almost no chance.
The example may not be appropriate.
But it's a truth.
Zhong Xiu first took a look at the script.
The county magistrate's wife.
This character is indeed quite bold, and is not simply the image of a good woman, she even has some diversity.
This role is challenging.
If I don't act well, I might end up looking like a slut.
After reading the script, Jong-su said, "I will act in it. I don't need any pay. I will act as a guest star."
good.
Yu Xiaoshu likes this kind of straightforward people.
Think about it, if Chen Fei was used, he might get tens of millions in pay, but if Zhong Xiu was used, it would be free.
Free is the best.
kindness.
This is Yu Xiaoshu’s most simple idea.
"Okay, that's settled then."
Yu Xiaoshu said, "We can just sign the contract later. But before we start filming, we need to keep it absolutely confidential. Not only before filming, but even after filming, you can't publicize it..."
Hearing this, Zhong Xiu said somewhat gloomily: "Teacher Yu, I know, after all, I am box office poison."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoshu knew that Zhong Xiu had misunderstood: "You think too much. Not only you, but all other actors have to sign a confidentiality agreement, so it has nothing to do with whether you are a box office poison. If I really cared about this, then I would not use you."
And just like that, Zhong Xiu signed the contract directly.
kindness.
The role of the county magistrate's wife has been finalized.
Then the second key female role also needs to be decided.
Sister Hua.
This is an equally complicated character. Some people even say that Zhang Mazi's brothers were turned against the government because of Sister Hua. Others say that Sister Hua is Huang Silang's woman and a spy hired by Huang Silang.
Of course, some people also think that Sister Hua is a miserable person.
In any case, there is also a lot that can be interpreted about Sister Hua.
Some say that Sister Hua is the biggest winner, as she rebelled against Huang Silang.
Some people say that Sister Hua has been accompanying Huang Silang from beginning to end.
Such a role also requires quite strong acting skills.
But Yu Xiaoshu already had a goal.
Good things should be kept within the family.
