For entertainment, I really don't want to be popular

Chapter 320 Shortcomings of Movies

"I have read this script of yours. It is nominally a science fiction film, but it contains a lot of literary and artistic films, as well as traces of disaster films. However, the overall feel of the whole film is quite perfect. If it could be perfect, If it is interpreted well, it should be no problem to win a few awards in the world."

After reading the entire plot, Master Long gave a fairly pertinent evaluation on the spot.

"However, your drama still lacks some important elements. If there are some elements, it is essential to win an international award."

However, Master Long's next sentence poured cold water on Yan Yi's head.

Yan Yi is quite confident about the script of this movie. After all, it is an adaptation of a very good work in his previous life. If even this script cannot win the corresponding international awards, what else is there? Movies can win awards.

"I don't know if there are any shortcomings. Master Long, just tell me."

However, the actor also knew that Master Long in front of him was the man who stood at the apex of the entire Chinese film industry, plus his relationship with the other party, there was no reason for the other party to talk nonsense about this matter.

"Have you ever thought that your film now has too many Chinese elements in it and a lot less foreign elements, and if you want to win an award internationally, you must cater to the tastes of global audiences, at least you must It caters to most people’s tastes, so it’s best to add a few foreign actors when selecting actors.”

Master Long's words made Yan Yi feel like he was enlightened, and he figured out the joints involved.

Until now, Yan Yi has always been immersed in the glory of this movie. He doesn't think this movie will fail, and it will even be more popular than the original.

It is precisely because of this self-confidence that I say that I am willing to think about many issues without thinking so much.

"It seems that I made the right choice to come to you this time. Listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books. Before that, I was too confident and forgot a lot of things about the world."

This time, Yan Yi was really convinced. Compared with the world's top director in front of him, the director and actor skills he suggested to get through the system are obviously not enough. After all, his ability is not enough. As far as skills are concerned, they are obtained after a lifetime of pondering. These so-called skills acquired are all systematically instilled into memory, and some things may not be able to be mastered.

There are also some unspoken rules in the film industry, and the sophistication of the world is not something that a fledgling rookie like him can compare to. Biyun Zongren is because he still hasn't reached the height of Master Long and the others in his previous life.

"It's not a big problem. When I was making movies these years, I also met a lot of foreign actors, and I have established relationships. When the time comes, I will invite you to an international star to help out. This will make up for the shortcomings in this aspect." Yes, after all, your film foundation is quite good, keep working hard, I believe you will be successful."

Although Mr. Long saw the shortcomings of this movie, he did not discourage Yan Yi. After all, Mr. Long was quite optimistic about the movie itself.

"Well, I'll keep working hard."

Yan Yi still looked like he was open to teaching, looking at Lord Long in front of him and said, now Yan Yi's admiration for Lord Long is even deeper.

"Okay, you've been busy all day, go down and rest first, let's talk about something tomorrow, don't be in a hurry."

After studying the movie Snowpiercer, Master Long's expression was a little tired at this time, and he waved his hand to let Yan Yi go down to rest.

Now Master Long's body is getting worse day by day, sometimes he just goes out for a walk, chats with old friends and plays chess.He was already so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, he was completely like an old man in his dying years, and he didn't have the mental outlook of the God of War, Dragon Lord, who was all-powerful in the film industry before.

Seeing the tired look on Master Long's face, he didn't bother anymore, but nodded and retreated, returning to his room to rest.

I had nothing to say all night, and when I got up together the next morning, Master Long had regained his energy and was making phone calls in the living room, seemingly chatting with a group of his old friends. Everything outside has the intention of helping Yan Yi find a role.

Seeing Lord Long like this, Yan Yi didn't bother him, and had a simple breakfast under Lao Xia's service, and then spent time in the living room scrolling through the news on his mobile phone.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning that Master Long hung up the last call.

"I've already talked to you about the selection of characters. Later, you can visit them one by one. By the way, you can have a good chat with them about your plots and ideas. Basically, there is no problem. , As for the foreign actor, you need to go abroad, he has a film to be shot there recently, and he has no time to dare to come to China, so you have to go there yourself if you have anything to do."

Master Long is worthy of being Master Long. In just one morning, Yan Yi and He Qing have already been overwhelmed, and the things they didn't even think about were settled.

"It doesn't matter, I will go there in person when the time comes, as long as I can find the most suitable actor, I should spend more effort."

Yan Yi didn't have any doubts about the actor Long Ye found. After all, Long Ye has been a director for so many years, and his vision and connections are definitely many times higher than that of a fledgling rookie.

"That's good! This is the address of these actors I found for you. You can go for a trip today. Let Lao Xia drive you there later. Just talk about it with confidence."

Seeing Yan Yi's sincere attitude, Long couldn't help but nodded, quite satisfied with Yan Yi's performance, then took out a note from his hand and handed it to Yan Yi.

There are several addresses written on the note, which are basically local in Hong Kong, either some private addresses or brokerage companies.

After getting the contact information of these actors, Yan Yi couldn't wait anymore, and called Lao Xia's case on the spot, and Zhao Long also visited these addresses one by one.

There are only three addresses recorded on the entire note, two of which are from brokerage companies, and the last one is a private address in a high-end villa area. Obviously this one has the highest status among all the actors. , and this one is also the one that Yan Yi intends to visit first.
