After hanging up the phone, Anna, who had a respectful expression on her face, quickly drooped and cursed angrily: "Stingy man!"
Tang Wei, who was sitting on the sofa reading the script, looked up at her when he heard the sound, opened his mouth, stopped talking, lowered his eyelids again, and continued to read the script in his hand.
In fact, she had expected this result. The character Wen Jiajia in the script was really well written, cheerful, lively, and heartless. She took the wrong path but was able to wake up and finally gained a beautiful love.
Tang Wei really likes this character and feels that he is very similar to himself. Back then, he made mistakes again and again. First, he couldn't withstand the temptation. He had obviously agreed to congratulate the new couple, but then let him go in the middle. During the filming, he was too cowardly and too easy-going.
Being manipulated... If it were Zhang Ziyi, would Li Yu be so photographed?
Although it was a short-lived success, she faced a ban after that. After her comeback, although Boss Jiang took good care of her and made several movies in succession, including collaborations with such big directors as Chen Kexin and Ma Chucheng, all of which were female leads. Unfortunately, they all received mediocre response.
.
Thinking about the popular movie "Latent", Xiao Song Jia, who later replaced her as Cuiping, became famous because of it and has remained popular to this day. It would be false to say that she doesn't regret it. But what she regrets most is that she lost her life because of it.
One of the most important friends in life.
Seeing Anna's disappointed and unwilling face, she secretly sighed, knowing that she had no chance to play this role. But at the same time, she also breathed a sigh of relief. If this thing really happened, she might not have the courage to do it.
Face each other.
"No, we have to find another way..."
Anna was obviously not willing to give in, and kept mumbling while walking around.
"Okay, since they don't agree, forget it. Stop talking about it, my ears are buzzing." Tang Wei put down the script in his hand and said helplessly.
Anna, however, had a look of hatred on her face and said: "Sister, how can you just give up on such a good opportunity? He Xin is going to star in this movie himself! You have worked with Mr. Liang, the best actor in Cannes, and then with the best actor in Berlin.
Cooperation, do you know what this means? And I can guarantee that this drama will be a hit!"
"Cooperation depends on opportunity. If someone doesn't want to, then there's nothing wrong with it!" Tang Wei shook his head. His agent was good at everything else, but he was too persistent.
"That's why we have to fight for it!"
"Then what did Teacher Jiang tell you on the phone just now?"
Although Jiang Wei is already the boss of the company, she is still used to calling her Teacher Jiang.
"Well……"
Anna was speechless for a while.
If He Xin rejected Jiang Wei very tactfully, then what Jiang Wei said to Anna on the phone was very direct, just one sentence: This matter cannot be done, they have to use their own people.
"I just think we should work hard... Well, how about you have a frank talk with him, and you blame all the previous things on me, saying that I was the one who instigated you in the first place, and you...
"
Before Anna could speak, Tang Wei interrupted: "Who do you think I am? I didn't make the final decision myself, so how can I blame you?"
Of course, without Anna's encouragement, would she have gone to the audition? The heroine of the new movie of the great director Li Yu, what a temptation it was! Not to mention she was a little rookie back then, even Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing
, including Cheng Hao and other first-line celebrities, all flocked to it, and they didn't care about the size or anything like that.
Being selected, for her, is almost equivalent to reaching the sky in one step, so she has no reason to blame Anna. Moreover, during the two years of being banned, Anna has always been by her side and will never leave her. The relationship between the two has long gone beyond
The general relationship between agents and actors.
Anna said anxiously: "Oh, what does it matter? The agent is here to take the blame. As long as you can get this role, it doesn't matter what I do."
Tang Wei still shook his head, looked at his agent, and sighed after a while: "You don't know Brother Xin at all. He is actually a very emotional person. When I let him go, I let him down.
To be honest, I didn't dare to face him at one time. If he scolded me in person, it would be over. But as you know, he was always polite every time we met several times.
Yes, it means he has never forgiven me at all."
"How can a grown man be so stingy?"
Some people are like this. They can do anything for their own benefit. On the other hand, if others do something, they will think that others have done too much. They have completely different standards for themselves and others.
Tang Wei felt uncomfortable and instinctively defended: "He is not stingy, he is very good to his friends!"
Thinking of everything in the past, she paused, feeling disappointed: "Maybe, maybe betrayal is not tolerated."
"Betrayal? It's not that serious. It's not like we broke the contract, it was just a verbal agreement. And given that kind of opportunity, maybe nine out of ten would choose this way..."
Anna was still chattering, but Tang Wei glanced at her and said nothing. She may never understand that in the eyes of some people, a verbal commitment is far more important than a contract.
…
As soon as He Xin got out of the car at the Tomato Station recording studio, he was greeted enthusiastically by a fat middle-aged man wearing glasses and not looking too fat:
"Xiao He, welcome! Welcome!"
"Hello, Teacher Cao! What are you..."
He and Cao Kerfan are also considered acquaintances. They have been in contact with each other several times at the Magnolia Awards and Shanghai International Film Festival, and they have also been interviewed several times. However, this time they met, the fat man in the original impression has lost weight.
A bigger circle.
"Oh, at the beginning of the year, a certain director invited me to play a role in his new movie. I couldn't help it, because I had to work with Bell, so I had to shrink my image. I lost thirty pounds all of a sudden, which was really hard.
Eat enough! Ah, haha!" Cao Kefan made gestures with his hands and laughed.
It's a director, and it's Bale's. If we use the fashionable terminology of later generations, Cao Kefan is now Versailles.
Today he came to Shanghai Tomato Channel to record "Ke Fan Listen". On the one hand, Cao Kefan has invited him several times, and on the other hand, the company has a good relationship with Tomato Channel, including last year's "The Wind" starring Zhang Yi
"Legend" and several other TV series, I bought them all from Tomato Channel.
The biggest difference between TV series and movies, in addition to the different artistic expression methods, is the different platforms for presentation. Movies are completely chosen by the market, and movie tickets are sold one by one, while TV series require more than just their own quality.
Maintain a good cooperative relationship with the platform. In the past, there was no choice but to be a TV station, but now with the rise of video websites, producers have one more choice. However, the so-called online dramas are still relatively low.
It is still synonymous with shoddy production. More importantly, after the TV station broadcasts it, the video website serves as a supplement, and the corresponding producer can also sell it for more money.
Speaking of the National Master's new film "Jinling Thirteen Panties" has been scheduled for this year's Lunar New Year, Zhang Weiping, who has always been good at hype, has already begun to make various claims in the media, such as the film's production cost as high as 600 million; Oscar winner and new girl
A large-scale boat drama; the domestic box office exceeded 1 billion; the target is Oscar... and so on.
As an ordinary audience member in his previous life, He Xin was easily influenced by the media. However, because of the high attention paid to Guoshi's films, he would always be criticized in various ways. Therefore, he had rarely seen the works of Guoshi in his previous life.
, including the current one "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", I have never watched it.
Now, what he knows about this movie is not only Ni Ni, the newly minted girl who often appeared in the media during this period, Oscar winner Bale, but also the comments about the movie in his bragging show in his previous life.
For example, using a delinquent woman to replace a female student does not conform to the Western audience's values of equality for all living beings.
However, he has always been yearning for the National Master all his life. When he heard that even Cao Keyan appeared in the new movie of the National Master, he couldn't help but envy: "Teacher Cao, what role did you play?"
"The role I played was not very glamorous. He was a low-level official in Nanjing who worked with the Japanese. Coincidentally, this role required me to speak Shanghainese, English and Japanese. I happened to meet this condition, and a certain director found me.
.I didn’t have many roles in it, mainly with Bell, the heroine and several Japanese actors. In fact, I was not very willing at first, because the dialogue in the movie was basically in Nanjing dialect, so why should I speak with Japanese people?
The cooperation required speaking Shanghainese, which obviously vilified us Shanghainese. However, a certain director later explained to me that this was the need of the plot. The only Nanjing dialect seemed monotonous, and Nanjing was the capital at the time and had a close connection with Shanghai.
In addition, although this character works with a Japanese, it does not look very honorable, but this character is indeed a tragic figure, mainly because of his love for his daughter..."
At this point, Cao Kerfan paused and explained with a smile: "Oh, I play the father of the heroine. He is a father who sacrifices his future, reputation and even his life for his daughter, but the daughter not only refuses to listen to him
If so, they misunderstood him as a traitor. In the words of a certain director, this man is too miserable!"
Although Cao Keyan smiled bitterly and shook his head at the end, there was clearly a strong sense of superiority and self-bragging in and out of his words.
The company had contacted the column team before the interview outline. The subject of the interview was one of the two mainland Chinese films shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Venice Film Festival. His new film "Border Storm" is currently receiving widespread media attention.
Of course, the main reason is that He Xin is famous as the Berlin Best Actor. In contrast, Cai Shangjun's "The Crowd" has not received much attention. This is a bit like the grand occasion when Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" was shortlisted for Venice four years ago.
, and the scene in which his "A Tale of Two Donkeys" was left out due to lack of celebrity status.
Hey, isn’t it a little unlucky to say that?
In addition, "Border Storm" has been scheduled to be released in China on September 9th, mainly because September 9th is a Friday, and from September 10th to 12th it happens to be another Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and at the same time it can
Avoid the National Day stalls where blockbusters are crowded.
The only inconvenience is that the film screening in Venice has not yet ended on September 9th. Basically, after the premiere in Venice, it will be followed by the domestic release. By then, they have to rush back to Venice. If there is a chance to win the award, September
We have to rush over again for the closing ceremony on the eleventh day of the month.
