Chapter 255 The bright future of classmates
Popular recommendations:
The heroine was decided on this day - the reason why Liu Tianxian was asked to come was not entirely selfish.
If you are looking for a female star with the right popularity, appearance, age, and student spirit, Liu Tianxian is a good choice. Her only shortcoming is that she is too beautiful.
Youth movies, let’s call them youth movies, if the actress is too beautiful, it will affect the sense of empathy. After all, in the minds of most viewers, even with filters, the class beauty is not as good as Liu Tianxian.
But there is no one like Fang Yi in the class.
After getting 20 million from China Film and Souhu, Fang Yi began to build his own grassroots team, recruiting talents from previous micro-films and advertisements. At the same time, he entrusted the Central Theater School to find suitable supporting actors for the "Love Letter" movie.
The first person the news reached was naturally Fang Yi's classmates.
After a class, Bai Yu stood in front of the class. Everyone thought he was announcing his homework as usual, but this day Bai Yu wrote big words on the blackboard:
"love letter".
Then he knocked on the blackboard: "Fang Yi's new movie."
"He is the lead actor. I don't know the female lead, but it should be a famous artist. It has nothing to do with us... The roles that we can have a chance to play are small supporting roles with a total of dozens of seconds of footage, and they can appear in the movie.
, laying the foundation for actually joining the crew later."
The students were naturally very excited, and some raised their hands and asked, "Is it a romance movie?"
"yes."
"Why make a romance film? There is no way for romance films to recoup the cost, and they are not popular in China. They are not popular with academics or audiences. In the past ten years, even big directors have not been able to make films.
Get good grades.”
Those who supported Fang Yi retorted: "How do you know that Fang Yi can't do it?"
The man shook his head helplessly, "I'm not trying to criticize anyone. It's true that it's hard to get a good start in a romance movie, and the relationships between the characters are simple, and the supporting roles are not outstanding, they just show their faces."
"It's no longer the time when I just entered school. Now I can come into contact with characters who show their faces. It's not like I don't understand everything."
Then he analyzed, "The title "Love Letter" has been used by Hollywood, Koreans, Thais, and Asians - since the movie by Shunji Iwai came out, I'm afraid it will never be used again.
If it can be compared, is this "Love Letter" a remake?"
"No matter what, I have to compare it with Japan, and there is a high probability that it won't be able to compare."
Bai Yu asked the man to finish speaking, and then counted the votes:
"Anyone who is willing to go for an interview, please raise your hand."
In Bai Yu's surprised eyes, only a third of the people raised their hands. He turned back in disbelief and clapped his hand:
"This is a movie, Fang Yi is in the limelight - are you embarrassed to ask for help? But why are you embarrassed in this profession? Are our own classmates no better than others?"
The other two-thirds responded with regret: "Romance movie..."
Bai Yu became even more excited, "What's wrong with romance movies? Romance movies can also produce results, but they couldn't in the past. Maybe we don't like to watch them because they make them!"
But the two-thirds of people still haven't changed much.
Bai Yu felt sad. He got part of the script in advance and knew that it was different from previous romance films. This film spent a lot of effort to restore the past era. It was not so much a romance film as an unconscious documentary. It was about this collective
Memories of the past.
The supporting roles are also wonderful. It seems that every class has a sissy, a naughty one, a fairy-like one, and a nerd - aren't these supporting characters with names?
Bai Yu talked about these innovations again and counted the votes again, but found that there were still not many.
This made him quite frustrated, "You are all too utilitarian."
Everyone in the audience was speechless for a moment, but soon, the students all prepared themselves mentally and put Fang Yi's movie behind them.
To give just a few examples, Zhang Rui, a classmate of Fang Yi, was assigned by Hunan TV Station to be the male lead in the remake of "Returning the Pearl"; Li Xiaomeng,
A former Golden Rooster Award nominee for supporting role, he is currently playing a key role in a drama tour.
Song Yi, the female lead in the main theme drama "Seryozha", is willing to help Fang Yi with both hands and feet, but she is not qualified to participate in the drama.
The main theme drama is a relatively special circle, just like inside and outside the system, it is leisurely and stable but not free, and reputation is very important.
The youngest in the class also signed a contract with Hong Kong Land Company. Her agent told her that she could become the next generation of the head of the beautiful girl. This girl was only fifteen years old when she came in. Everyone in the class treated her as a younger sister and took good care of her.
She is also naive, romantic and curious about the world.
However, just one year has passed, and she has already become obsessed with the belief that only by going to Hong Kong can she become a big star and dominate others. In her words, she already regards herself as the future queen and looks down on others.
It seems that everyone has a good future, and there is a big star in their class. It is no wonder that they have set their sights high.
Bai Yu asked Song Yi distressedly, "How to persuade them to come back? In my opinion, Fang Yi at least doesn't lie to others, and he won't treat us badly."
Song Yi was equally distressed, "If this continues, Fang Yi will not go back to school, and he will be disappointed in his class. He is obviously a star who came out of our Central Opera."
"Why are they unwilling to come? Is it the persistence of young people?"
"Maybe I just feel that I am better now."
Bai Yu: "When will you realize that those people are lying to you and giving you some empty promises? Why don't you keep your feet on the ground now and make your debut in Fang Yi's movies?"
Song Yi shrugged, "I'll hit my head and bleed."
Apart from the fact that newcomers with stable resources are unwilling to take the job, there are also some who are drama addicts. This is just a matter of personal preference.
The two most famous actors in Shanghai Opera are Lei Datou and Yu Entai. They are obsessed with drama and don't care about so-called mainstream films and TV shows. They have repeatedly refused to give up film contracts. The latter has worked in TV dramas at least.
Speak politely.
As for the former, in occasional interviews, his disdain for his peers on the big and small screens is revealed in his words, which is beyond words.
The remaining ones were relatively poor in quality. Fang Yi went back to Yangxi and found a practice room to interview them one by one.
Twenty minutes later.
He arranged several characters to serve as passers-by. Then he went to Bai Yu alone to talk about the characters.
Fang Yi: "This drama is indeed a remake of the Japanese drama "Love Letter", but it has changed a lot. uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com will make an adaptation that is completely in line with mainland values. It can be said that it has no reputation as a remake."
"Can't we just make our own movie? There are many movies called "Love Letter", so we can't have the same name."
He shook his head, "If you want a movie to be released in Japan and make other people's money, you have to borrow other people's names. Show the emotional world of mainland young people to other Asian countries, and quietly build a sense of identity.
This is an offense outside of defense in the cultural field, and it is something China Film Group has always wanted to do, so they fully support it."
"We have all seen "Love Letter" by Shunji Iwai. It is a good movie, but we must forget it from now on."
Bai Yu was stunned and said, "It's really amazing."
"There is no country in the world that is like us. Each generation has completely different memories of youth, with almost nothing in common! And this generation..." Fang Yi emphasized his tone, "This is the generation that can go to the cinema.
People, there is no movie that speaks for them.”
Bai Yu continued to be in a daze and almost wanted to applaud: "What you said is really interesting. I have never heard it said before. As expected of Fang Yi... Wait, do you want me to participate?"
"Yes."
Bai Yu suddenly became embarrassed, "If I don't act well, will it delay your performance?"
Fang Yi looked at Bai Yu's face. It was a face with a slightly shorter philtrum, thicker lips, and a blunt nose. As a genuine second-generation miner, Bai Yu looked like a problem-taker from a small town who came from hard times. He was quite honest.
Huang Xiaoming has a similar temperament to him. "Simple and honest" is not considered a good temperament for a star, so they both grow beards and act mature.
Director Fang gave the order, "You have to shave your beard."
