Chapter 780: Everyone is gone, do you still want a role?
"Anyway, your scenes have been filmed. I originally planned to let you stay on the set in the past few days before filming was completed in case there are scenes that are not filmed if necessary."
"Since you have something important to do, go and do it quickly. You don't have to worry about me, there won't be any delays."
No way!
How could it be let go so easily?
impossible!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Brother Hai was making a fool of himself. He was so kind, but Wu Di couldn't believe him. He didn't even dare to run away along the steps.
He actually sat there motionless, as if he was frozen.
"how?"
"You still don't want to go?"
"Are you serious?"
"You really want me to attend the ceremony? I want to go to Shuicheng. It's a long way and there are many activities. I can't come back in a day or two."
This man sometimes has a hobby of being mean. In the past, when Brother Hai often made things difficult for him, Wu Di felt particularly comfortable physically and mentally. As long as Brother Hai's tone came along, Wu Di felt that he was looking forward to the day.
right!
That's the taste.
At that time, Wu Di was trying his best to be lazy and fish out, but now, Brother Hai waved him away, but he mumbled again.
is this real?
impossible!
Brother Hai must have some tricks up his sleeve. How could he be so tolerant and generous? He was even asked to make a special trip to Shuicheng to receive the award.
Making a splash?
It's impossible even if you think about it.
Could it be that Brother Hai made a mistake and thought it was something else, something that would only go for a day or two, so he was allowed to go?
Such an abnormal behavior made Wu Di come up with such strange thoughts. Brother Hai shook his head helplessly.
"How can it be?"
"Of course I know you are going to attend the Water City Film Festival. Haven't you been nominated? Besides, Director Qi called you again. Apart from this matter, do you have any other important matters to deal with in the near future?"
ah……
this……
It seems that there is no problem at all.
Wu Di was stunned and couldn't answer the question for a long time. It was only after Lao Zhang reminded him that he resumed the topic.
"Brother Hai allows me to go. I'm very grateful. However, I can't say exactly how long it will take. I probably won't return to the set."
Although Brother Hai agreed happily, Wu Di was still suspicious and wanted to finalize the matter repeatedly.
I told you repeatedly, fearing that Brother Hai might not understand something correctly.
"How come you, a young man, have become so verbose?"
"If you are asked to go, you go. If you have any hesitation, you can just continue to stay in the crew and don't go. I don't mind either."
"do not!"
"Brother Hai, I'm going to book the plane tickets right now. I won't care about the crew's affairs."
I didn’t expect Brother Hai to be serious, so what are you waiting for?
Why don't you run away quickly?
Otherwise, he will regret it again, but he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.
hehe!
He ran away again without looking back or hesitating at all. Young man, after all, he is still too shallow.
No patience.
"Did you really let him go?"
"Have you figured it out?"
At this moment, the person who was more shocked than Wu Di was Mr. Tan. He received the news about Xiao Qi immediately.
Mr. Tan also knew the inside story, so he sighed.
how can that be possible?
This is not in line with Brother Hai's temperament at all.
Like Wu Di, Mr. Tan also knows very well about Brother Hai's character, or even understands it better.
If there are no grudges or grudges, then of course we won't talk about it. The crew will all get along very harmoniously and there won't be any problems.
However, the relationship between Hai Ge and Wu Di is not as good as it seems on the surface, or even worse.
By burying Wu Di to embarrass Lao Zhang, this is the direct reason why Brother Hai brought Wu Di into the gang. Since he wants to make Lao Zhang embarrassed indirectly, he must control this hostage. Otherwise, if the hostage escapes, Hai
If Brother teases Wu Di, won't the fun of indirectly teasing Lao Zhang be gone?
Furthermore, based on Mr. Tan's understanding of Brother Hai, he has never been a magnanimous person.
How could a newcomer get such a good thing so easily?
This really doesn't fit his style.
"Lao Tan, maybe you also doubt me."
"Am I that stingy?"
Don't you?
This is the look in Mr. Tan's eyes now, everything is clear. Although Mr. Tan's eyes are strange, Brother Hai doesn't mind.
Instead, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I told him to let him go, and I meant what I said."
Really, who do they think Brother Hai is?
Does he seem to be so unreliable?
Besides, does such a simple thing require such complicated means?
unnecessary!
No need at all!
If you want to punish Wu Di, there aren't many ways, right?
Since he said this, Mr. Tan naturally had no intention of refuting it. After all, haven't all Wu Di's scenes been filmed?
Seeing that the crew is about to wrap up filming, generally speaking, Wu Di's presence or absence will not affect the overall situation in the coming days.
Isn’t it appropriate to withdraw?
If you don’t retreat now, what are you going to do if you stay here?
Will you continue to sit on the bench?
Is it an addiction?
Or does your Brother Hai’s cold bench have any unique charm?
Don't be ridiculous, you have nothing. Other big stars already have a bright future, but they are about to embark on a prosperous road. You, Brother Hai, are just someone who came out of thin air to disrupt the situation.
Lao Tan was just relieved when he saw an imperceptible smile on Brother Hai's face.
"Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss."
Forehead……
It turns out that I still have a backup plan!
Sure enough, this is in line with Brother Hai's usual character.
Want to leave?
sure!
Brother Hai will never stop him if he spreads his hands. He has been a director for so many years. Although due to his reputation, many stars flock to his movies. They are very enthusiastic and have a very good attitude.
But over the years, there are many people who have suffered from thorns and bumps on their heads.
Leaving the set early, being late, not showing up, having a bad attitude on set, not being serious at all, this kind of thing happens a lot.
Brother Hai accepted all those people one by one without causing much trouble. As for Wu Di, what difference can he make?
If his heart is no longer there, what's the point of forcing him to stay on the set?
Not to mention that Wu Di's scenes have already been filmed. Even if the filming has not yet been completed, if the actor himself must leave, the director cannot stop him.
These are all personal choices, and no one can make the decision for me. This is one. The other is that film shooting is also a matter that requires inspiration and a serious attitude.
Once a person loses his passion for something, he will not work harder on it.
So is it still possible for this movie to be made well?
Impossible!
Instead of causing a sharp decline in the quality of the movie in the end, it would be better to let him get his wish!
Of course, if you let go easily, you are targeting others, but Wu Di did not have such good luck.
Why should he leave whenever he wants?
Who has the final say here?
Of course, it is our director Hai Ge who has the final say.
When he nodded in agreement, he had already made a plan and thought of a way to embarrass Wu Di.
What?
Leave early, or do you want Brother Hai to be unhappy?
Your role?
Everyone has left, and you still want to take care of the drama?
Isn’t that what my brother Hai has the final say?
Brother Hai gritted his teeth and made a decision. Can't he just delete it with one click? Even if he took the picture, it would be treated as if it had not been taken. He could just cut it and delete it.
Wu Di would never have imagined that he would be rejected by Brother Hai with one click after persisting to the end with humiliation.
For Wu Di, this is indeed a move that will draw the bottom of the fire.
I just did this, what can you do?
I am a director, so I can do whatever I want.
I can use whose scenes I want to use. The decision is mine. Brother Hai is not the only director who loves to do this.
What's more, Brother Hai is not the first to do so.
Didn't you see that Director Wang, who never leaves his sunglasses, does the same thing?
Compared with him, Brother Hai is already considered a conscience in the world. At least, the filming progress of Meng's Orphans is still very normal.
There is no deliberate procrastination at all. If the same movie were shot with sunglasses, no doubt it would take at least two years!
Two years!
This is the average speed at which sunglasses shoot movies, which is not surprising at all.
Don’t forget that the movies made by Sunglasses all have modern backgrounds. If it were in the hands of another director, all three movies would have been shot in the past two years.
What would happen if one day Sunglasses chooses to shoot a historical costume movie?
That’s almost unthinkable!
Although our filmmaking speed is very slow, like a snail, although we have many requirements for filmmaking, such as training in advance and free schedules.
That requires actors to prepare in years!
But even so, actors who want to film his movies can still queue up for ten miles. There is no way, who can make someone famous enough to win awards?
Every time he makes a move, he becomes the darling of major film festivals. He doesn't even need sunglasses to work, and those film festivals will give him awards.
Just so arrogant.
Actors, especially well-known actors who already have a certain degree of popularity and status, compete for two kinds of scripts.
One is easy to achieve box office results, which is the basis for actors. Actors play roles in film and television dramas. To put it bluntly, they help investors return their money through their performances.
On the road of returning investors' capital, or even making a lot of money, whether they are actors or directors, their goals are the same.
It’s all about making money, especially for many actors and directors who have also participated in investment. Making money from movies means making money for them.
The higher the box office, the more they make.
If an actor can star in a high-grossing movie, then he can prove his box office appeal to investors in one or two films, and he will not need to worry about a good script in the future.
The other kind of script that is up for grabs is one that can win prizes.
Competing for prizes sometimes requires the right time, place, and people. Sometimes, the focus of people's attention is the director.
There are some directors who are direct descendants of the film festival. As long as the films they make are shortlisted for the top three, it is easy for them to be shortlisted.
Easily.
For some actors, meeting such a director is an indirect opportunity to be nominated for one of the top three majors.
Even if you don't get nominated personally, being able to star in one of the top three nominated movies can make your career resume look very good.
These are all capitals. When these capitals accumulate more and more, it will be much easier for actors to take on roles individually.
There will be more room for selection, and good scripts will continue to be delivered to actors, so actors will have priority.
This is very important.
Often the more award-winning films you star in, the more your worth will rise. People often don't quite understand the twists and turns involved.
When you see that this actor has appeared in all good works, you will naturally think that the actor's acting skills are good.
Instead of seriously thinking about why I haven't won any personal awards despite appearing in so many good works, is there something wrong somewhere?
In fact, a good director, a good script, and a high-quality movie are not necessarily directly related to the performance of the actors themselves.
There are also some works that are of very high quality, and the performances of the actors who promote them become watchable. As long as the actor is not particularly outstanding, then this work may still win other awards.
There are no individual awards for actors.
From this perspective, Labyrinth is actually such a movie. The quality of the work itself is extremely high, so it was successfully nominated for Best Picture.
As for its lead actor, Mr. Wu Di, his performance can only be said to be somewhat different from the height of the work. Therefore, the jury was very fair and did not give him a solo nomination.
Wu Di was able to successfully get the nomination because of Xiao Qi's credit. In this regard, the jury cannot make the decision.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What I didn’t say was that when I first submitted the application, I was asked to be a co-director. Even the jury can see from the resume that this film was still led by Xiao Qi, and they also
It's impossible to exclude Wu Di.
Wu Di and Xiao Qi are both prosperous and devastated.
If the jury only looked at Wu Di's nomination, even Xiao Qi might be pulled down.
However, the fact that the movie "Maze" was able to be filmed to this extent is undoubtedly due to the director. Without the director's careful craftsmanship, this movie would be like many rural-themed movies, just disappearing into the public eye.
Even if it can be released, so what?
The box office is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand, let alone participating in three major film festivals. The judges will not give such a movie a look at all.
For example, Xiao Qi is just a new director now, still waiting for an award from Shuicheng. However, when he actually wins the award, his career will be completely different.
Well-known actors with huge resources behind them will all compete to star in his movies.
You see, this is an obvious case where the director decides on the team. Wu Di's investment is still very cost-effective, and can even be said to be value-for-money.
In fact, for the director, this is also one of the fates.
Sometimes, the director's tone is just in line with the taste of the jury. Even if his works never sell well and cannot get high box office, it doesn't matter. The public does not approve of it, and it cannot influence the selection of the jury.
They just fell in love with this director. As long as he has works and submits them to the film festival, the jury will nominate him.
As for whether you will win the award, that is a question on another level.
