The actor's bodyguard

Chapter 32

Miao Yang has never been afraid of others saying that he is a drama bully, and he has always brought up the director directly when he is not satisfied with the script.When encountering directors and screenwriters with ideas, they will discuss with Miao Yang repeatedly until the modification is satisfactory to both parties.Miao Yang would not be polite to directors and screenwriters who were worried about offending Best Actor Miao.

The director of this literary film happens to be a serious director. His surname is Su, he looks like he is in his 40s, and he wears gold-rimmed glasses.

When Director Su received the call from Martin, he couldn't believe his ears. Miao Yang was willing to accept such a low-cost movie. It was so unexpected!Regarding the financial conditions proposed by Miao Yang, Director Su agreed without hesitation. With Miao Yang's golden signature, the film's box office will definitely more than double.

Those financial problems are not a problem at all, and Miao Yang doesn't have a big mouth, he only asks for a profit share. If the movie loses money, Miao Daying won't get a penny. If he makes money, he will give Miao Yang a big Portions are as they should be.Director Su can't treat money like dung, but he also knows how to choose.Miao Yang didn't care about this kind of condition of making money without losing money, so how could Director Su not agree to it!

It's just that Director Su disagrees with Miao Yang's revision of the script.He wrote the script, and Director Su has his own ideas.Director Su has also heard that Miao Daying is difficult to serve and is a drama bully. Not to mention a small director like him, even an internationally renowned director like Director Jiang, Miao Yang will ask to change the play.Regarding this point, there are different opinions. Some say that Miao Yang asked for an extra play, and in order to highlight him, part of the actor's second part was cut out; It needs to be changed; it is also said that Miao Yang is difficult to serve, has high requirements for props and makeup, and does not even eat the meals of the crew, and every time a film is filmed, there is a class of assistants to follow and serve, etc.

These negative rumors are only spread by word of mouth within the entertainment circle, and no one dares to speak in front of the media.Director Su didn't take it seriously at first, because he never thought that Miao Yang would take over the film. He didn't think of these rumors until Martin said that Miao Yang would revise the script. Much, what a thing.

However, Director Su still agreed to have an interview with Miao Yang, because in today's film and television industry, no one is more suitable for this role than Miao Yang.

The meeting place was at Miao Yang's studio, which only had Miao Yang as an artist, Martin as his agent, and a few assistants.There are no people there on weekdays, and the assistants don't have to come to work. Only Miao Yang or Martin come here when they need to talk to others.

"Director Su, please sit down," Martin told Director Su to sit down. The assistant brought three cups of green tea and closed the door when he went out. Then Miao Yang said politely, "Director Su, I have a different idea about this movie."

Director Su adjusted the frame of his glasses, "Agent Ma has already mentioned it to me, but I have written this script for five years and revised it countless times. I don't think there is anything that needs to be revised."

Miao Yang didn't care about Director Su's attitude, he just smiled and said, "Director Su should listen to me first."

"All ears." Director Su said disapprovingly.

Miao Yang said: "I like the theme of this drama very much. The story of the last chieftain of the last hunting nation in our country is very fresh. I also understand what director Su wants to discuss with the audience outside of this story, which is also true. It’s exactly what I want to discuss with Director Su.”

Hearing Miao Yang's point of view outside the story, Director Su sat up straight and asked, "Tell me, what do I want to discuss with the audience?"

Miao Yang smiled and said relaxedly: "The relationship between man and nature."

In this story, the hunting people tried to settle down twice, but failed. When they decided to settle down for the last time, the chief was already in his dying years. He was powerless to stop the decision of the tribe. Staying on the mountain and guarding a few reindeer is like guarding the last hope of the entire tribe.

Whether it is a hunting nation or the reindeer raised by the hunting nation, it is difficult to integrate into the society at the bottom of the mountain.They are used to being nomadic, to living freely, to listening to the sound of the wind, and to everything in the forest.

However, excessive deforestation has destroyed the last piece of soil for their survival, and they have hardly been given too many choices to go down the mountain or stay.There are fewer and fewer people in their tribe, and the scope of their life has become smaller and smaller. The hunting people have no way to hunt.

"In Director Su's script, three quarters are about integration, choice and confusion. I think Director Su can increase the proportion of their previous lives. Only by comparing can they show their contradictions and struggles. They could have lived in harmony with nature as before, but we destroyed their living space. They should treat us with hostility instead of gratitude." After reading the script, Miao Yang had this idea.He has also seen director Su's films before, the pictures are very beautiful, the story has his own ideas, he is a director with ideas, he does not pursue box office, in the Chinese film and television industry with a strong commercial atmosphere, it is quite different.However, the shortcomings are also obvious. The characters are portrayed too flat and not three-dimensional.

In fact, there is no conflict between literary films and commercial films. Miao Yang always feels that some directors of literary films seem to scoff at the mention of commercial and box office, as if the pursuit of box office is a blasphemy of art.Miao Yang doesn't think so. There are many kinds of art, common people understand art, and beautiful things are common.As long as the people who make the film don’t want to be high-spirited, if the audience raises doubts, they will blame the audience for their poor vision. Willing to spend money to be uncomfortable.Miao Yang felt that the directors of these so-called literary films also had to reflect on themselves.

Just like Director Su's film, the concept of the script is quite good, and the story is not bad, with a little more conflict, the story is stronger and the characters are more three-dimensional.

Miao Yang's words made Director Su look at him with admiration. His opinion was not unreasonable. Director Su thought about it carefully before coming. At this moment, my heart was a little shaken, "I'll go back and think about it before I give you an answer."

"Yes." Miao Yang is not a dictator.

"Also," Director Su said, "The filming cycle of this drama is about one year. I don't know your schedule..."

"My schedule is fine," Miao Yang said with a smile, "We can change the script while filming."

"I'll give you an answer in these two days." Director Su did not directly agree to Miao Yang. Although the script will be revised according to the actual shooting situation during the filming process, Director Su still decided to discuss with Miao Yang before filming. For Miao Yang's idea modification, at least half of the script needs to be modified, and the framework and focus of the story will be changed. This is a lot of work, and Director Su needs to calm down and make changes slowly.

Miao Yang smiled and said, "Waiting for your good news."

Director Su glanced at Miao Yang. Miao Yang's appearance is very good. This is a person who can be a good person even with his face, but he has achieved today's achievements by relying on his strength.Director Su felt that Miao Yang's popularity was not unreasonable. It was unreasonable for an actor with good appearance, ideas, and acting skills not to be popular.Even without the support of a prominent family background, Miao Yang will become popular sooner or later. After all, investors are not fools. Why don't they support people who can bring them profits?

Miao Yang didn't know that Director Su praised him in his heart, and he was thinking about what to do next.

Director Su went back to revise the script. If it takes ten days and a half months, the revision is not good. In addition to the preparations, the filming of this film will not start until May at least, and there are still nearly two months. What are you doing?

Two months, whether it is long or short, is not enough to make a movie, and he is unwilling to accept commercials for variety shows. For the first time, Miao Yang felt bored.

After sending Director Su off, Martin drank his tea, "Do you think he will revise it?"

"Yes," Miao Yang said, "this is a serious director. He will be responsible for his own work. My proposal will only make the film more perfect. He has no reason to refuse. His box office has been sluggish, and he can still persist More than 20 years, it shows that he is a director who loves filming. Wait for his news. By the way, where are you going next?"

"Go home." Martin asked puzzled, "Where do you want to go?"

"I mean, what are your plans for the next period of time? Staying at home all day is boring to death." Miao Yang leaned back in the chair and turned around boredly, "Go on vacation, where should I go now?"

Martin burst out laughing, "Now I know it's boring, you deserve it if you didn't plan ahead."

"Yes, I deserve it, it's not bad luck for you to be with me." Miao Yang said with a smile.

"How about we find an island to live for a while?" Martin rolled his eyes and suggested.

"Not good," Miao Yang disagreed, "I've been to those islands, it's nothing fun. You and two big men are lying on the beach in beach pants, what's the fun. You forgot the last time A bird pooped on your belly, right on the navel, and if you're lucky enough, we'll go to the island."

"Miao Yang, don't go too far." Seeing that Miao Yang was in a good mood today, Martin also became happy, pretending to be angry and said, "If you don't go, you won't go. Why do you disgust me if you mention this?"
