1381 Director Pan's Helplessness
"Ms. Diba, excuse me, can I have a few words with Mr. Ding?"
Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Producer Wang came over and said with a smile.
Diba, who was drunk and enlightened, smiled politely and raised his hand to indicate that he was welcome.
When Ding Ning knew that the main show was coming, he got up and left the dining table, followed Producer Wang to the sofa and sat down.
Pan Yigang and Cheng Wenhai were already waiting in the sofa area. Seeing that they seemed to have something to talk about, the others consciously stayed away from the sofa area and subconsciously lowered their voices.
Xiaoyao had already thrown out her bait - a membership card issued by Zuihongyan Cosmetics Company.
It has to be said that no woman, especially a female artist, does not care about her skin and appearance. As soon as Zui Hongyan’s membership card with priority to purchase the “Supreme Beauty” set was launched, she was immediately wildly sought after by Yang Mi and others.
Diba did not resist the temptation, and temporarily gave up the delicious food, and approached her and shouted that she wanted to become a member of Zui Hongyan.
"Mr. Ding, I admit that you have strong literary skills, and we had a good conversation with each other, but I still hold objections to the producer's insistence on letting you serve as the leading actor in "The Legend of Sword and Heroes""
As soon as Ding Ning sat down, and before he had time to take a sip of tea, Pan Yi just got straight to the point and said without any politeness.
Ding Ning frowned and said nothing. He took out a pack of cigarettes and gestured. The three of them were not polite. One of them took one and lit it, and the four of them started puffing away.
"Mr. Ding, don't get me wrong. It's not that Lao Pan has any prejudice against you as a person, but that's just his character. He is a very dedicated director. Whether he is making a movie or a TV series, he must strive for excellence in order to achieve the ultimate goal."
Good shooting effect.”
Producer Wang saw that Ding Ning was silent, and Pan Yigang and Cheng Wenhai also lowered their heads and smoked without saying a word. He broke the silence with a smile, which was an explanation for Pan Yigang.
"I understand Director Pan's feelings, I understand his thoughts. To be honest, I am still in the dark. If my friend hadn't made the decision for me, I would not have agreed to film."
Ding Ning took a deep breath from the cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said lightly: "I personally have no interest in filming, but now that I have promised my friend, I will try my best to do my best. If
I guessed right. The decision to accept me as the leading actor was also made by the producer alone, right? Pan
If the director wants to get film investment from Schindler Media, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only obey the arrangement of the producer. But this kind of method of being forced into a role makes Director Pan very disgusted, right? So in the meeting
When it comes to me, you want to give me a blow and tell me to retreat. You can also explain it to the producer easily, right?"
"Yes, that's what I planned. Mr. Ding really has a keen eye."
Pan Yi couldn't help but blush when his mind was read, but he admitted his thoughts frankly: "It's not that I have any opinion on Mr. Ding. To be honest, I have heard about Mr. Ding's reputation as a miracle doctor. Today
The miracle that happened to Miss Song Ziyi made me admire Mr. Ding's miraculous medical skills very much. But after all, there are so many different fields. No matter how profound and accomplished Mr. Ding is in the medical field, it does not mean that he can make great achievements in the entertainment industry.
What an achievement.”
Before Ding Ning could argue, Pan Yi just waved his hand vigorously and continued: "Just like Miss Song Ziyi, she is still the queen of the music industry and can be associated with the entertainment industry, but her acting skills are still far from the shooting effect I expected.
It’s such a small gap, let alone someone like Mr. Ding who has never filmed before.”
Ding Ning smiled and said with great interest:
"Since Director Pan feels that Ms. Song Ziyi's acting skills are not up to par, why should she be allowed to be the female lead?"
Pan Yigang's face became serious, and he looked at Ding Ning and said word by word: "To be honest, I was extremely opposed to Miss Song Ziyi's decision to play the female lead, but her acting skills are indeed slightly inferior.
It’s not surprising, but she doesn’t have any acting skills. What’s more, she has held many concerts and seen big scenes. Her psychological quality is completely qualified and she can immerse herself in the role without being disturbed by the outside world.”
"The most important thing is her attitude. She is a very dedicated artist. Unlike those celebrities who always act big after gaining status, she can let go of the airs of a diva and is willing to film a movie that cannot be given to her.
The fact that fame brings an increase in a TV series will actually decrease her net worth is enough to explain the problem. For an artist who is not good at acting but is willing to learn and specialize in artistic ethics, I will give her a chance."
Pan Yi just finished speaking in one breath, and after taking a sip of scented tea, he said a little depressed: "Of course, this does not mean that I will definitely use him when I join the crew. When the crew signed the contract, there was a clause in the contract. As a director, if I am not satisfied
, has the right to change actors at any time, including Song Ziyi and others
and the previous male lead Ng Jiawen are all within this range, but I didn't expect that Miss Song Ziyi would have an accident just after we started filming, and Ng Jiawen, who I was optimistic about, would use the excuse of delaying the schedule to raise the price.
No matter how good his acting skills are, I will not keep such a person with no artistic ethics."
Ding Ning looked thoughtful. Even Song Ziyi's acting skills were not up to par, so how could he do it? It was reasonable for Director Pan not to be optimistic about him.
However, although this feeling was understandable, it still made him feel very uncomfortable and felt like he was being looked down upon.
This actually aroused his competitive spirit. He could endure reading such boring and obscure Chinese medicine works, and he still didn't believe that he would not be able to make a movie.
"Mr. Ding, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. I understand that the company wants to use your fame to increase the ratings of this film. However, as a producer, with an attitude of being responsible for both the company and Mr. Ding, I also
I agree with Director Pan’s opinion. For the company, Mr. Ding’s participation in the show can indeed increase the ratings, but any
Film and television works cannot rely on the fame of actors for a long time. Once the fame is exhausted, you will be scolded. After all, fame is not easy to accumulate. If Mr. Ding performs poorly during the filming, it will also affect your reputation.
It will cause great damage, and it is not impossible that your fans will even turn from fans to fans because of this."
Producer Wang, who was always smiling, persuaded with an extremely serious and sincere expression.
"Although the role of film and television works is defined as entertaining the public, for me, Lao Pan, and those who really love film and television, the role of film and television is not just to entertain the public, it is a sacred and serious art.
, through a main story line and some social microcosms, more realistic meanings are interpreted. If an actor cannot express what we want to express, this film and television work will fail. So, Mr. Ding, I’m sorry
, I agree with Lao Pan’s opinion on this point.”
Cheng Wenhai also said with a serious expression.
The corners of Ding Ning's mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a hint of fun: "Director Pan, Teacher Cheng, and Producer Wang, I understand what you said. After all, what you want to express is that you think I don't understand acting and that I
It’s impossible to perform this role well, do you want me to quit before the difficulties?”
"Yes, after all, you are the leading actor designated by the investors. They want to rely on your fame to sensationalize and increase the ratings, but Lao Cheng and I still have this approach.
Even Lao Wang disagrees."
Pan Yigang said without hesitation: "Even if this is just a TV series shot by Schindler for profit, in the minds of most people, TV series are far less expressive and appealing than the big screen, because the big screen
They are all a collection of the best filming, reducing all the plots to one hundred and twenty minutes. However, the TV series is draggy, passable, and even shoddy.
But I think this is not absolute. TV series are indeed inferior to movies, but they are also a form of artistic expression. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, the script is the soul. Can the actors tell the story they want to tell in the script?
Expressing it through the perfect interpretation of characters is the key to the success of a film and television work.
I, Pan Yigang, can say something without shame. From my debut to the present, I have followed a high-quality route. If an actor cannot express what I want through his performance, even if he is the best actor, I will not pass it. Even if it is just for a movie.
The TV series that was filmed by raising funds is also the masterpiece written by Lao Cheng with painstaking efforts. I will never allow anyone to abuse the fruits of his labor.
Mr. Ding, I'm not afraid to tell you that what we are going to make is not an ordinary TV series, but a high-quality TV series with thoughts and soul. It's not that I look down on you, but that you are really not suitable for this film, so,
I hope Mr. Ding can take the initiative to refuse the producer, which can be regarded as giving me, Lao Pan, some face, okay?"
Ding Ning looked at Pan Yigang, Cheng Wenhai and Producer Wang's pleading and expectant eyes, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
In fact, it doesn't matter to him whether he makes this movie or not. From an emotional point of view, he was very moved by the character of these three people and their respect and strict requirements for film and television works.
To be honest, he also wanted to fulfill them, but the feeling of being looked down upon made him very unwilling and unwilling. In addition, this was Xiao Nuo's request, and he also had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting Song Ziyi's safety.
Therefore, he could not agree to their request at all.
Ding Ning put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, made up his mind, and said in a very sincere manner: "Director Pan, it stands to reason that you have already said this, so I should agree to your request, but
Please forgive me, I have my own reasons for not taking pictures."
The three of them, Pan Yigang, looked at each other and saw the look of helplessness in each other's eyes. Producer Wang was better, after all, he represented the producer. Although he was helpless, he was not too disappointed.
But Pan Yigang and Cheng Wenhai were different. Their expressions became extremely lonely, they sighed softly and couldn't even smile bitterly.
It's really uncomfortable to ask for help from others. If they weren't trying to raise funds for filming a movie, and with their influence in the film and television industry, how could they allow the producer to dictate and forcefully place roles on the crew without being directed by the director.
"Director Pan, Teacher Cheng, I know you are not willing to accept it. To be honest, I am not willing to accept it either. You are too preconceived. Director Pan said something before, which is that lines are separated by mountains. Although I agree with it, I cannot completely agree with it.
, in my opinion, there are thousands of roads, different roads lead to the same destination, and there are intersections and overlaps between roads."
Ding Ning looked at Pan Yigang seriously and said seriously: "Just as you think that I am just a doctor and there is no way I can understand acting, what if I tell you now, in fact, I am not just a doctor?"
"Not just a doctor?"
Pan Yigang and others looked at him in astonishment, not knowing what he wanted to express.
