At first, Tang Wu didn't have much hope for the script "Steel Horn", but soon she was deeply attracted.
In fact, it was not the great love story that attracted her, but the action of the hero and heroine flying on the bow of the ship. It was deeply engraved in the hall's mind through just a few words of description in the script.
Of course, apart from that, what impressed her most was the time after the ship loaded the iceberg.
In the description of the script, the sea water poured in crazily and people fled frantically, which made Tang Wu feel the grandeur of the scenes in this script.
There were also scenes of the ship sinking into the water, and the big ship breaking off, etc. Tang Wu's scalp went numb while watching it. She had never felt that a movie could shock her just by the description of the script. If
If everything is restored, how majestic will the captured images be?
"Such a big ship actually stood upright and sank vertically to the bottom of the sea..."
Tang Wu murmured to herself, and her heart began to beat with the description of the script.
Of course, as I said before, the love story between the male and female protagonists did not give her much sense of involvement.
In the setting of the script, the heroine is an aristocratic lady who lives in the upper class and lives an "arranged" life every day.
For example, getting engaged to a man she doesn't like.
For example, behavior and behavior are regulated, etc.
It can be said that I was helpless and unwilling. In my heart, I wanted to break out of the prison and break through the shackles.
The male protagonist is the complete opposite. He is a man who comes from a lower class but lives his own life. He supports himself by painting and traveling.
In the setting of the script, the male protagonist is himself, real and charming, and once saw through the female protagonist's thoughts. Later, the female protagonist broke her heart and was brave, pursuing love and freedom.
In Tang Wu's opinion, this is a bit ridiculous, too idealistic, and basically impossible to happen in reality.
Fortunately, the love scenes between the male and female protagonists are just the seasoning.
In Tang Wu's opinion, what is more reflected in this script is the ruthless selfishness of human beings, the ignorance of nobles, the clear hierarchy of society, etc.
At a glance, it is full of ugly capitalist faces.
The captain knew that the ship was about to sink, so he first organized the noble passengers to put on life jackets and wait for the lifeboat outside.
However, the poor people from the lower class were locked with iron doors by the stewards on the ship.
They were obviously on the same cruise ship, but they were divided into upper class and lower class due to the height of the elevator floors.
What made Tang Wu most angry was that the crew did not understand the size of the lifeboat, and the lifeboat was hurriedly lowered before it was full of passengers. When the ship sank completely, the people who went into the sea kept calling for help from the people on the lifeboat.
Although there was a chance to save him, almost everyone on the lifeboat remained indifferent.
There are obviously extra seats!
In the end, there were only 110 survivors out of 2,433 crew members and passengers.
The rest were frozen to death.
Tang Wu couldn't help but check the search engine, and when she found out that there were indeed only 110 survivors in "Steel", her nasal passages couldn't help but feel a little sour.
In real historical data, there is no such detailed introduction as the script.
For example, the captain once said that only women and children could board the ship.
But in the end, perhaps due to the large number of people, we chose to compromise, and even some men rushed to grab seats on the boat.
But what the real situation is, no one will ever know.
From this point of view, the script is even suspected of deliberately smearing and satirizing. For example, when there are already clues, someone reminds the captain that there is an iceberg ahead, but the captain proudly and confidently orders to continue accelerating.
When the steward on the ship suggested that an upper-class aristocrat wear a life jacket, the aristocrat said: "I need to die with dignity, and I need a glass of brandy."
Finally, the nobleman sat on a chair with his back straight, drank brandy and watched the sea water coming in.
It really is a "decent death"...
Ignorance and self-confidence harm not only oneself, but also everyone.
It's both ironic and funny.
Of course, the story fragments described in the entire script are not just the plots that made Tang Wu feel angry.
There are still some heart-warming moments.
For example, those dedicated performers can calmly play songs one after another when they see the people in front of them getting on and off the boat and running around.
Another example is the great mother who put her child to sleep quietly and calmly, and faced death calmly...
Overall, this is a good script that made Tang Wu unable to take her eyes away after watching it for an hour!
When the driver Tang Qiang reminded her that she had arrived at the airport, Tang Wu raised her head. In her beautiful eyes, there seemed to be huge waves and a large ship intercepting the sea.
Tang Qiang was a little surprised, but he heard Tang Wu say: "Go back."
"Go back? Where?" Tang Qiang was stunned.
"Go see Han Sen!"
Tang Wu held the script in her hand tightly to her chest and breathed slightly: "This script is great. It can even be said that it is the best script I have seen so far in the industry. I like it very much..."
"But Shudian Film and Television City is already urging me to ask for leave this time. Director Wang has given me a lot of respect. Besides, you don't hate this kind of love theme..."
"I have double standards, okay?"
"OK."
But Tang Wu didn't really go back.
After thinking for a moment, she called Han Sen directly: "Brother Sen, the heroine of "Steel No.", do you have any other candidates?"
Han Sen didn't answer but asked: "You're calling me so soon? Have you finished reading the script? How are you thinking about it?"
Tang Wu immediately said: "I like this script very much, but my recent schedule is a bit full..."
"Then forget it." Han Sen said.
When Tang Wu heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth and said, "I can cancel all schedules."
"We are not in a hurry. You know, the script is available, but if you want to set up a crew, you must first have money..."
Han Sen expressed his desire to restore the Steel No. 1:1: "So, the investment in this movie is very large. It is still unknown when the movie will be shot."
"It's okay, I can wait."
Tang Wu said firmly, and finally added: "If I really lack funds, I can reduce my salary to star."
Han Sen smiled and said: "It seems that you also like this script very much. In fact, Sister Honghong expressed similar thoughts when she read the script. She even wanted to star in it for zero pay. Unfortunately, her age does not meet the requirements..."
"I can also get zero pay."
Tang Wu said quietly.
Han Sen smiled: "This is actually a selling point, but don't worry, Miss Tang, if you really appear, the salary you should be paid will not be less when the time comes. I have confidence in this drama. In addition, if you confirm
Once you have the intention to star in the role, I will no longer look for anyone else. I believe in your acting skills, but there is one thing I think you should consider carefully..."
"Brother Sen, it's okay to just say it."
"The heroine needs to appear completely naked in the play."
When Tang Wu heard this, she fell silent.
Han Sen was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll give you time to think about it."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Wu didn't recover from what she just said for a long time.
This part of the plot was just brushed off in the script, and Tang Wu didn't pay attention at all. When she heard Han Sen mention it, her mouth opened slightly in shock, and her heart suddenly went cold.
After Tang Qiang learned the news, he reacted even more fiercely and refused directly: "Impossible, Xiaowu, don't even think about it. Even if you are banned because of this drama, I will not let you star in this movie."
It’s a matter of principle.”
"Okay...okay!"
Tang Wu thought about it and finally decided to give up.
…
On the other side, Han Sen was not idle either. After noticing Tang Wu's reaction, he knew that this cooperation between the two parties would most likely go wrong.
It's no wonder that Tang Wu is like this. After all, she is one of the four major actresses in the film industry and has a bright future.
If we follow the steps step by step, there is even a 70% to 80% certainty that we will be awarded the title of Best Actress in the future.
For such a proud girl, if her promising future is tarnished because of a drama, it would be a bit of a loss.
Especially an actress like Tang Wu, who is considered a goddess among the younger generation.
Han Sen was not dissatisfied with Tang Wu because of this.
In fact, he had already been mentally prepared.
In a previous life, when director Cameron announced the start of filming "Titanic" around the world, there were many top-tier actresses, and actors wanted to get this role.
But after learning that the heroine is required to appear naked, many actresses immediately shy away.
This is true for European and American actors who have always been open-minded, not to mention the slightly conservative Chinese actors.
Later, although Kate Winslet, who played the heroine, got the role, it was because of this nude scene that the British media at the time criticized the fledgling Kate Winslet.
Paparazzi also monitored her residence 24 hours a day, which caused Kate, who was already traumatized, to be hurt a second time.
Later, even after twenty or thirty years, Kate still couldn't let go of this.
Of course, although she was mentally tortured, there is no doubt that after participating in "Titanic", Kate became one of the most popular actresses in the world.
Compared with her before taking part in the show, she is completely different. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has reached the sky in one step.
Now, Han Sen is facing the same situation as Cameron.
Even if popular actresses get such a script, it is basically difficult for them to overcome the hurdle of nude scenes.
Tang Wu is one example.
"Tang Wu is indeed very suitable. She is pure and beautiful, and has a good figure. Having her appear in "Steel" will undoubtedly be even more powerful."
After Mo Honghong understood the whole story, she suggested: "But popular actresses like this who are already famous are often very concerned about this. Let alone appearing naked, even if it is just a love scene, they are respectful and insensitive. After all,
The sacrifice is really too great, and there is indeed no shortage of scripts for popular actresses..."
Seeing Han Sen's low interest, Mo Honghong smiled and said: "But don't be impatient. "Steel Horn" is a script that is rare in a century. It can be called an epic level. There will definitely be people willing to take risks. If you really find it,
If we don’t find the right personnel, I will go into battle myself!”
Han Sen looked at Mo Honghong in surprise and said quickly: "Thank you, sister."
Mo Honghong smiled and said: "Dedicate yourself to art, don't be slanderous."
…
At the same time, the controversy surrounding the Golden Deer Awards continues to ferment.
Li Yaoqin should have been very high-spirited when she won the title of Queen of Heaven, but due to some bombarding remarks at the award ceremony, Li Yaoqin was immediately placed at the top of the search list, even surpassing Han Sen's popularity for winning the award.
Many netizens also expressed their appreciation for Li Yaoqin's brave and outspoken words, and they all applauded.
However, there is silence within the industry, and basically no practitioners have expressed any opinions on this.
Until the next day.
Donghui Entertainment, where Li Yaoqin works, issued a statement, which directly added fuel to the fire and made the matter more complicated.
"Our company is very happy that our singer Li Yaoqin won the Golden Deer Award for Best Female Singer, but our company does not agree with Li Yaoqin's extreme remarks in her acceptance speech..."
In this statement, although Donghui Entertainment recognized Li Yaoqin's award, it completely denied all the Chinese language that Li Yaoqin used to criticize Yuanzheng Media's He Baozhen during her acceptance speech, and directly clarified her relationship with Li Yaoqin in her words.
, claiming that the two parties only have a cooperative relationship, etc.
For a time, this back-stabbing comment was extremely noisy.
Countless netizens were completely angry and began to criticize Donghui Entertainment.
"Li Yaoqin is really unlucky to have signed with such a weak company!"
"It's not you who is being bullied!"
"Is it necessary for a company that can't even protect its artists to exist?"
"The artist was bullied and the company didn't support him, but he stabbed him in the back!
"
Netizens were extremely angry.
But even so, Donghui Entertainment still did not change this statement, and responded with silence to all the accusations and curses from netizens.
Many people in the industry shook their heads when they witnessed this situation.
Donghui Entertainment is just a second-tier small company, how could it possibly resist a behemoth like Yuanzheng Media.
If you want to survive in this industry, taking the initiative to submit is the best option.
When Li Yaoqin gave her acceptance speech, although she was happy to criticize He Baozhen for a moment, she did not consider the consequences at all.
Now, retribution has come.
Donghui Entertainment not only quickly distanced itself from its relationship with Li Yaoqin, but even condemned Li Yaoqin for publicly making inappropriate remarks regardless of the occasion, as if it was not Li Yaoqin who had been bullied, but He Baozhen.
"He Baozhen is the director of the artist department of Yuanzheng Media. He is an absolute high-level person. Even if He Baozhen did something wrong, Yuanzheng Media will not sit idly by."
"I have received news that many of Li Yaoqin's endorsement brands are being replaced. Not only that, all her subsequent schedules and activities have been affected."
"After being crowned a queen, she should have been very popular, but now she seems to be being suppressed."
"Li Yaoqin shouldn't be so fast-talking for a while. There's no way it will end now!"
"Artists should have the self-awareness of artists. How can they compete with industry giants?"
"Not everyone is Han Sen. Han Sen originally sent all the heads of the Miracle Group's Xiangjiang branch. After such a long time, do you think Miracle Group dares to challenge Han Sen now?"
