He said he was going back, but it took another four or five days. The rest of the crew went to the capital, but Fang and Liu still stayed.
The reason for not going back is that Fang Yi received an invitation from a fellow student.
"The Piano of Steel" was filmed in the same city. The director Zhang Meng, the male lead Wang Qianyuan and the female lead Qin Hailu were all from Yangzhou Opera. The story of the film can basically be regarded as the story of "Old Yin", which is a dark version of middle-aged youth.
piece.
The background is also a steel factory.
Are they all his own actors? Fang Yi is now considered a figure in this kind of situation. Once the senior brothers and sisters invite him, he has to go. In addition, the concept of the film "The Piano of Steel" will definitely have to be plowed into.
It's so miserable that we can't expect any box office success.
Therefore, the film intends to be selected in the Tokyo Film Festival, export it to domestic sales, and first make some foreign money to repay the capital.
Fang Yi was the Best Actor of the last East Asian Film Festival and the first Best Actor in his debut. He has a fate with the East Asian Film Festival, and the crew of "The Piano" hopes to get a little bit of his fairy spirit.
After arriving at the set and chatting for a few words, Fang Yi found out what role the director wanted him to play.
Yellow hair (sleeper).
Wang Qianyuan's first wife ran away with a wealthy businessman because he had no money. Fang Yi plays this businessman.
There are only two sentences in total, the main thing is to show your face.
However, is this too handsome? Even if Fang Yi is a poor guy, Wang Qianyuan's wife can still run away.
Fang Yi thought wrong.
Director Zhang Meng dressed him up to look ugly - it's hard to be handsome, but it's easy to be ugly.
In "Love Letter", although Fang Yi is wearing a school uniform and his glasses are old-fashioned, the entire shape and lighting are carefully designed, giving the audience a feeling of "this guy must be handsome without his glasses" all the time.
sense of anticipation.
This is not the case with "The Piano of Steel".
A pair of thick eyebrows, a face full of freckles, and a vulgar big gold necklace - when Fang Yi looked in the mirror, he almost didn't recognize who he was.
The filming was completed smoothly.
The three of them invited Fang Yi to dinner and said, "Thank you for saving my life."
That night, at the food stall near the steel factory, Fang Yi dragged Suizhai over, who was unwilling to go out. The three of them were dumbfounded when they saw it: "We're talking about it?"
"yes."
It was Fang Yi who answered.
Liu Tianxian was listening with his ears open, but then he retracted his ears like a rabbit, "He's right."
"What a blessing." Wang Qianyuan stretched out his thumb and looked at his sudden rise again. It was rumored that he was the younger brother of the successor of Yangxi Opera.
He was quite envious.
There are many actors and directors from CCTV, but Fang Yi is really the only one who can win this title. Because Fang Yi has a not wild temperament and looks promising, he is both a director and an actor, and he is young.
.
Now that he has finally seen it, he can only lament that his reputation is well-deserved. In the entertainment industry, it is rare to achieve great achievements at a young age and not be crazy.
Wang Qianyuan's family background and life experience are similar to Liao Fan's, and he both has a fierce appearance. If I hadn't been so awesome and nurtured him since childhood, he probably wouldn't have been able to make a living in acting.
He asked Fang Yi: "I heard that you are going to be a judge at this year's Tokyo Film Festival?"
"Who said that, I don't even know."
Wang Qianyuan came over, half-hiding his hands and whispered softly, "Really or not? Can't you tell me? You signed a confidentiality agreement?"
"I really do not know."
Wang Qianyuan's face was full of disappointment and he sighed, Qin Hailu and Fang Yi explained, "He wants to make progress in his career and see if he can be recognized after winning an award and play roles in some mainstream films.
"
"If you are a judge, I mean... of course it is not good to operate in the dark, but you will definitely take care of the actors, don't you think so?"
"At home, alumni are close to their compatriots, but abroad, compatriots are close to foreigners, so it's time to do something, right?"
Fang Yi laughed, "I can't admit this."
The reason for laughing was that Qin Hailu's last sentence was an allusion to the anecdote between Jiang Wen and Guo Shi. In 2007, Jiang Wen took his own film "The Sun Also Rises" to participate in the Venice Film Festival, and was a jury member of the film festival at the time.
The chairman of the association is the National Master.
They are both Chinese and have collaborated several times. Jiang Wen had a falling out with Chen Kaige in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" and abandoned his responsibilities, but his relationship with the Imperial Master was not bad.
Full of hope, he thought that his big prize was guaranteed. During the interview, he was so proud that he said, "Zhang Yimou should do something."
As a result, the final grand prize went to Li An's "Lust, Caution".
The most irritating thing is that the book "Lust, Caution" was originally taken for Jiang Wen. When he took a look at it, he cursed, "This is only for women!"
Since then, Jiang Wen and Guo Shi have had a falling out, which also marked the end of the relationship between several major domestic directors.
Since the three of them were still filming "The Piano", everyone ordered soy milk instead of drinking. But they still raised their glasses to clink and shouted, "Cheers!"
Director Zhang Meng talked about his childhood and why he wanted to make "The Piano of Steel".
This guy is a native of Northeast China. He has been exposed to it since he was a child. When he grew up, he became a director. The two films he made: "Blessed Ears" and "The Piano of Steel" were both related to labor workers.
When he got to the emotional point, he shouted: "Boss, give me a beer."
He added, "I won't affect you. You have to film and drive. I can just drink to my heart's content." "What am I celebrating? I'm celebrating seeing two of the most beautiful people in real life. Ah, it's really a director's dream."
Ah, this is the perfect match for the opening of the film..."
He used a large tea vat-like container, enough to pour two bottles of wine into it, and he drank at least three large glasses.
After going to the toilet several times, he finally got a little drunk. Zhang Meng asked the owner of the barbecue stall for a guitar and performed Jiang Yuheng's old song "Cheers to the Past" live:
"Cheers friends
Just let everything flow like water
put that past
Think of it as a hangover..."
"This is the soundtrack of my movie. I heard the great soundtrack and I used it in my movie!"
People at other tables also cheered.
Liu Tianxian was very happy and clinked glasses with Fang Yi along with the song, "Old friend! Listen to other people's songs, you're hungover! When did you get hungover? Show your true nature."
"I won't get myself drunk. I have control."
She sighed, "It's really difficult. You," she squinted her eyes and clenched her fists, "sooner or later I'll make you drunk."
Fang Yi spread his hands and said, "Look at you."
Liu Tianxian may have been thinking about the future, she pumped her fist excitedly, "Huh! Ha! You have been kicked away by me!"
Soon, she found Fang Yi touching his chin and lost in thought. She shook Fang Yi's arm: "What are you thinking about?"
"Soundtrack."
"Do you want to sing?"
"No, I want to find some soundtrack for "Love Letter". Director Zhang Meng's performance just reminded me that for this kind of emotional film, soundtrack is also very important."
"How do you find someone alone?"
"I'm looking for China Film and Television, and China Film is looking for the soundtrack."
