The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 107 Tailored
"Master, I have been studying this script for a week, but, according to your request... can I really play this role?"

Liu Feifei looked at the script in her hand and the biographies written for her by her master, with hesitation and unconfidence on her face.

Yang Zhu sighed silently. It seems that his little apprentice was really hit hard by the performance of the premiere.

………………

Well, "The King of Martial Arts" has been drawn a while ago, and the box office in the first week was 8000 million, which is considered very good.

But... After the popularity of the first week was exhausted, the total box office for the next full month was only 1.85 million; the Soybean score was only 5.6;

More importantly, Liu Feifei, as the heroine, also received numerous negative comments from netizens,

Some say her acting skills are immature, some say her face is paralyzed, and some say she is not suitable for the big screen at all...

In short, even with a certain amount of mental preparation, the little apprentice was still scolded by all kinds of sharp online reviews, hiding in bed and crying a few times, and even felt a little unconfident about himself.

………………

"That's right, Mr. Yang, isn't your role too demanding? After all, my daughter is still young, so I'm afraid she won't be able to act that way."

Mama Liu was helping, and she had studied the script carefully in the past few days.
To be honest, let alone her daughter, she directly doubts whether there are any actresses in China who can meet this requirement.

Yang Zhu buckled the table and frowned slightly: "Feifei, can you be more confident? This role is specially created for you. At present, there is no one in China who is qualified for this role except you."

Liu Feifei looked at her master, with a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes: "It was specially made for me?"

Then the little face wrinkled again: "But... I really don't have the confidence to act well."

Yang Zhu showed a trace of self-confidence: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, everything will be arranged by me, Master."

Looking at his little apprentice who was still a little terrified, Yang Zhu sighed:

"The reason why you think this role is difficult to play is largely due to the three key words I wrote above [dignified], [cold and gorgeous], and [sense of dust]?"

Liu Feifei's mother and daughter nodded together. If you talk about these three characteristics separately, there are quite a few female actors in China who can perform.
But if these three qualities are concentrated in one person, to be honest, they can't think of anyone who can perform this kind of feeling, even those actress-level actors.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Yang Zhu smiled: "These three key words are concentrated on one person, so it's hard to hear;"

"But in fact, according to Feifei's own characteristics, it is not impossible to train for a period of time."

The little fairy quickly raised her ears, and Mama Liu was also very curious about how her daughter could achieve the Dharma;

Yang Zhu lit a cigarette without seeing anyone else: "First of all, let's talk about the key word [dignity];"

"Actually, Feifei had similar traits before, but your mother gave you another path;"

"Your mother should have strict etiquette requirements for you in terms of sitting, lying, walking, eating, laughing, and talking, right?"

Liu Feifei nodded embarrassingly.

"Your mother taught you everything according to Western etiquette, so it's easy for you to create a feeling of [a lady in modern times] on the screen;"

"Actually, the [Dignity] written on my character's keywords is also the same, but this is the world of Xianxia, ​​you need to strictly follow the set I prepared for you for a while to reshape it, which combines ancient etiquette and Taoist etiquette. your behavior and temperament."

"The so-called [strict etiquette, fear of people's livelihood], a person's temperament is not fully revealed by a single face, but the accumulation of countless small details."

"The [Etiquette] in ancient China is not simply showing a smiling face and being courteous to each other; it is a set of complex behavioral norms and philosophy of life;"

"When you really integrate the set of etiquette that I asked experts to design for you into your bones, and really take it into your role to integrate into your life, your words and deeds will naturally reveal the characteristic of [dignity];"

The little fairy was still tasting her master's words, but Mama Liu next to her suddenly realized, her eyes lit up, this young man actually thought of using this method to change the characteristics of his daughter's aura, it is not unwise.

………………

"Secondly, the keyword [Leng Yan] is not superficially thinking that as long as you have a good face, you can just keep a straight face;"

"It's [cold] at its core."

"This is actually a kind of spiritual trait from the inside out, and it is a kind of inner release that disdains to talk to ants;"

"Just imagine, if a fool from the Bangzi Kingdom comes up to you and barks, saying that their country has tens of thousands of years of history and that you, China, are just their former vassal state, you will seriously stop and tell him Argue?"

"I don't think so, you just smile lightly, or look at him blankly, and then continue on your way;"

"This is actually the essence of [Cold];"

"If you just show this trait through micro-expressions, it would be a bit inferior;"

"So, during this period of training, I will keep an eye on Feifei and give her a commentary class on Taoist classics every day;"

"When she uses Taoist classics to raise her thinking dimension a little bit, this [cold] trait will naturally arise."

After listening to this, Mama Liu hesitated. Will her daughter be addicted to Taoist classics and cannot extricate herself from now on?
However, looking at Yang Zhu who was full of confidence, she felt that she was worrying unnecessarily. This young man was full of crooked ideas. Presumably there was a way to get her daughter out of this state, right?
………………

"Finally, there is [Sense of Dust]. This word sounds hazy, but in fact, it is not difficult to express it after you have achieved the first two points;"

"To put it bluntly, it is a manifestation of the aura of [Imprisoned in the barriers of heaven and earth, unwilling and disdainful, but have to be patient and bend down to coexist with ants],"

Looking at the confused eyes of the two, Yang Zhu patiently explained:
"Think about it, when a person uses the most impeccable etiquette, smiles and listens patiently to your nonsense, but there is a kind of pity in his eyes inadvertently;"

"In the end, with a gentle face and the indifference of a bystander, I told you a lot of things that you didn't understand at all, but didn't understand the seriousness. How did it feel to others?"

Looking at the two people who were stunned but still scratching their heads, Yang Zhu smiled:
"If it appears in a Western-style scene, using their naked way to express, this kind of philosopher-like arrogance;"

"And if it appears in the world of Xianxia, ​​coupled with Dongfang's slightly subtle way of expression, this is [Sense of Dust]!"

The two suddenly realized!

"So, the essence of [Sense of Dust] lies in an intuitive conflict between your [cold] outward emotions and [ritual] physical behavior."

"And the reason why I added so many lines similar to "Warning World Philosophy" in Feifei's script is to create a forceful situation, and to make this sense of conflict more intense."

"At that time, I will work hard on her styling props and action design. This kind of image with great visual and inner impact can be easily shown on the screen!"

"At that time, as long as Feifei can complete the training as planned, I dare say that the role of Feifei will become a brand new symbol in the Chinese film industry!"

Little Fairy and Liu Ma's eyes lit up and their faces were flushed; Yang Zhu, who looked like a MLM master, seemed to have a layer of rainbow light behind him in their eyes at this moment...

………………

"Ms. Liu, the last six months will be a special training period for movies. You should not accept any announcements for Feifei, even if it is the announcements you received before, you can reject all the ones you can. If you really can't, focus on this half. It will be resolved within a month!"

Mama Liu opened her mouth, but finally nodded in response.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, have you estimated the budget for this movie?" Mama Liu asked.

"Well...since you said you want to give Feifei a classic screen image, you must not be sloppy in every aspect,"

"So, my initial budget is 5 million,"

"1 million of it is spent on the preliminary training of all actors, including those small supporting roles; after all, in addition to hiring teachers, they also have to bear their salaries and some business compensation."

"Of the remaining 4 million yuan, I plan to spend 1.5 million yuan for special effects. The picture must be shocking enough. This money cannot be saved."

"The remaining money is 3000 million yuan for props; 5000 million yuan for daily shooting,"

"The actor's salary is 1.2 million. After all, I plan to invite three top-level middle-aged and elderly actors to participate in the performance. The salary is too low. It's not good. The other actors don't need much salary."

"The remaining 5000 million, 3000 million will be used for later publicity, and 2000 million will be used as emergency funds."

Mama Liu hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Mr. Yang, spending 1 million yuan to train all the actors, is this... a bit too much? After all, China has never had such a precedent."

Yang Chu sneered: "If you look at this expenditure from the perspective of capital, it must be very uneconomical."

"When you think about it, it is necessary to spend money on the training of the main actors, but it is really a waste of money to have all the supporting actors come here for training,"

"Even thinking about it, even if this money is used to add some special effects, it is more reliable than this so-called training fee, right?"

Mama Liu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Cut~! That's because you, and those capitals, don't understand movies at all!"

"Unless it is an animation or a pure CG movie, everything else is people-oriented, and the script and actors are the decisive factors that determine the upper and lower limits of the movie!"

"Why are there so many big bad movies now? It's because there are a lot of investors who don't understand movies at all pointing fingers."

"Do you really think those small supporting roles are irrelevant?"

"Let me tell you, for a movie with a really big production and a big scene, even if you hire a bunch of movie stars and movie stars, 40% to 60% of the wonderful scenes are supported by these unremarkable supporting roles and extras!"

"Think about it, if [Titanic] didn't have those brilliant supporting roles and extras, could it become a classic?"

"My "Resident Evil", without the wonderful performances of those supporting characters and zombie extras, can scare the audience?"

"These characters that you look down on are the real cornerstones of big-budget movies."

"If it wasn't for the lack of time and other conditions that didn't allow it, I'd like to raise the cost to 3 million yuan, and let these actors train for 2 years before they come out to make movies!"

Liu Ma's face showed a bit of embarrassment, thinking that if an investor who could pull out 5 million yuan was sprayed like this by the director, she would be considered the number one;

But this guy is really good at training actors, and this is a tailor-made movie for his daughter, so he can only bear it.

"By the way, Ms. Liu, did the seniors who asked you to contact reply?" Yang Zhu vented, feeling much more relaxed, and changed the subject.

"Well, I've contacted them all, but...the situation is not ideal." Mama Liu scratched her head.

"Oh? What's the situation?" Yang Zhu frowned. These seniors are a very important part of his movie. If something goes wrong, it will be a lot of fun.

"Well, the one surnamed Liu agreed to the three you liked."

Yang Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, that person can be said to be the person he admired the most in the film industry, he was able to agree to act, and his heart was half relieved.

"The one surnamed Wang directly refused."

Yang Zhu frowned.

"Finally, the one surnamed Chen... said that it needs to be studied."

Yang Zhu's frown deepened. According to his understanding of the senior surnamed Chen, the "consideration" he said is very likely to be "don't consider"!
However, one of the three cornerstones of the peak has been lost, and this senior must fight for it no matter what.

"In this way, you call Senior Chen immediately and say that I want to visit him!" Yang Zhu said in an unquestionable tone.

Mama Liu felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to fight, but seeing the young man in front of her staring at her eyes,
Sighed,

Finally, I found out the phone and dialed it...
