[Tell you a good thing, Cheng Zhiqing, do you remember Mr. Cheng? Lao Cheng has a nephew who is preparing to make a movie. He is short of someone. I thought you are probably very free now, so I pushed him over to you. Lao Cheng just
Ask me about your WeChat account. If it suits you, you should seize the opportunity!]
Xia Yu could almost imagine the proud expression on Chi Chong's face when he sent these two text messages, so he replied to him immediately.
[The final payment has been received. Thank you Director Chi for your promotion. I will treat Director Chi to dinner when you have time!]
Xia Yu smiled, "I really need to find a chance to treat this person to a nice meal."
Almost at the same time, Cheng Zhiqing added Xia Yu's WeChat account, and Xia Yu didn't hesitate and approved directly.
The avatar is a Taoist temple, and the nickname is Cheng Zhiqing, [Is this Xia Yu? Hello, I am Cheng Zhiqing.]
[Hello, Teacher Cheng, I am Xia Yu!]
[Director Chi probably told you, right? I have a little nephew here who is preparing to make a movie and is preparing for an audition. Do you have any schedule in the near future? 】
[Yes, I don’t know what type of script it is?]
Xia Yu didn't need to hesitate. Cheng Zhiqing was well-known in the circle and could maintain a good relationship with him. The old classmates he could help recommend must also have good character. She had no reason to refuse.
In the WeChat chat box, the words the other party was speaking were still displayed. Xia Yu was not in a hurry and waited with peace of mind.
[My little nephew is called Dai Chengbi. He is the son of one of my senior brothers. He has made several literary and artistic films, most of which have not passed the censorship. Recently, he is planning to shoot a small-budget literary and artistic feature film, which is a bit taboo and has lesbian themes.
The subject matter is that the heroine suffers from schizophrenia.
This guy has been looking for me for a long time, but he really couldn't find me. Director Chi Chong happened to be nearby. Director Chi recommended my nephew to watch "The Misty Rain of the Republic of China". He hasn't finished it yet, so he asked me to contact you.】
In the original words, Dai Chengbi was talking about finding a young and beautiful actress with excellent acting skills.
But with Cheng Zhiqing's character here, how could he come out with such complimentary words to praise the younger generation? It would be great if his acting skills were just okay.
After watching Xia Yu's "The Misty and Rain of the Republic of China", Dai Chengbi was indeed amazed. Although he didn't like the plot, which was pretentious and contrived, the girl's acting skills aside, her appearance was almost a real-life template for the heroine of his new film!
I was originally worried about my acting skills.
Xia Yu's acting in "The Misty and Rain of the Republic of China" is quite good, but after two years, Xia Yu's acting skills are not enough to fill a role in a movie, which needs to be discussed.
He was still a little hesitant at first, until Chi Chong made an exception and sent him some wonderful performances by Xia Yu in "Stunning Beauty Per Capita", which gave Dai Chengbi reassurance.
As for the issue of age, it is relatively easy to solve. In addition to acting, the makeup is also very easy to make up for.
In this paragraph, Xia Yu screened out some important information, "Dai Chengbi, a gay subject, a mentally ill heroine, it is not easy to pass the review, and the cost is small."
"Dai Chengbi?"
Just when she frowned, Tao Tang spoke.
Xia Yu's cell phone was turned on, and Tao Tang could hear all these contents.
"Dai Chengbi, 37 years old this year, graduated from the Performance Department of the Huaxia Drama Academy. Later he changed his career to making movies. He went to the Film Academy to get a master's degree in directing. He has made several literary films, but due to censorship reasons, they were basically not released in China.
, but the quality of the film is good, he has won several minor awards, and he is an alternative figure in the director circle."
"You should have seen the famous work "Smoke and mirrors", it is the masterpiece of this person!"
"Oh~ it's him." Xia Yu suddenly realized.
The original owner has seen his films, and Xia Yu has also accidentally viewed them in the past two years.
This person’s photography has a very strong personal style.
It may have something to do with his generous family conditions and good education. He comes from a scholarly family and is a full-fledged literary youth. He has never bothered to make commercial films, and feature films are his bottom line.
As a result, although his reputation is not small in the industry, he has received mixed reviews. He scorns commercial films that cater to the market, and commercial directors also look down on his sour energy.
While Xia Yu was still thinking about it, she didn't expect that Cheng Zhiqing would say it directly.
[The guy has been preparing for this film for two or three years. This time he is going for an award. I have read the script and it is not bad. Maybe it will be a little troublesome to pass the review in China, but given your current situation, I think this film is a good one.
You should try it.]
She also said that her nephew is very informal and will not be affected by rumors on the Internet, so she does not have to worry about other issues.
Xia Yu probably figured out Cheng Zhiqing's temperament. He usually didn't talk, but he was straightforward, so she didn't beat around the bush and talked about everything.
[Teacher Cheng, can you please give me a few minutes to discuss this matter with my agent? 】
Cheng Zhiqing replied "Okay."
"Sister Tang, what do you think?"
No matter what role she takes, Xia Yu has the absolute right to choose. This was agreed from the beginning.
However, after all, the two of them are tied together, and they both prosper and suffer, so Xia Yu also has to take Tao Tang's opinions into account.
Tao Tang put out the fire.
To be honest, when she first heard the content, she was quite resistant. These elements are already very sensitive separately, and it is understandable that they are combined together.
Until Cheng Zhiqing's sentence.
"The script is very good and I am going for the award."
Tao Tang finally felt moved.
I have to crush it and break it apart to decide the pros and cons.
Although this film is very taboo, Cheng Zhiqing is right when he says that Xia Yu's current situation is not very good. Although it is not a situation where there is nothing to film, the quality of the scripts received will not be very good, and the character
On the show, they are basically supporting characters with no distinctive features.
So, there is a movie right now, even if it is a literary film, it can't make much money, even if it can't be released in the country, but this is a role that Xia Ye can't even compare to the supporting roles in ten or twenty movies.
What's more, this was recommended by Cheng Zhiqing.
An olive branch was offered by an experienced actor with a lot of connections in the drama, film and television circles. Not to mention Xia Yu, who was still in the quagmire, not many even first-line actors could refuse it. In the entertainment industry, to put it bluntly,
It is a circle culture.
Tao Tang could see this very clearly. It was not that she had no connections, but it was just not the time to use them yet.
She almost spent all her money to help Xia Yu come back, mostly with compensation and guilt, but her family couldn't understand it. They had a lot of prejudice against Xia Yu. This kind of prejudice requires Xia Yu to make certain achievements before he can slow down.
Fading away slowly.
Back to topic.
As for the script——
If the words "Cheng Zhiqing" were placed there, they would be the same.
A good script is something that is rare for an actor!
In a blink of an eye, Tao Tang came to a conclusion.
Facing Xia Yu's question and looking at her expression, Tao Tang couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, you have 'I want to act, take it' written all over your face. How can my sister have the heart to brush you off?
"
"Hey, thank you, Sister Tang!" Even though she knew Tao Tang would not refuse this opportunity, Xia Ye still breathed a sigh of relief.
She still has less than three years to unlock her achievements, and this movie is an opportunity!
I thought about my words for a while.
[Teacher Cheng, I have discussed it with my agent. I really don’t want to miss this opportunity. When is it convenient for Director Dai Chengbi, can we meet? Mainly because I want to know more about the script. 】
Cheng Zhiqing's chat interface also showed that the other party was speaking. After a few seconds, Xia Yu clicked on the voice bar.
[Send your email here. I’ll send you the script first. Remember your phone number. After reading it, remember to contact me. He’s also in the Imperial Capital.]
