NOVEL NEXT Chapter 79 On the importance of being a good actor
Xia Haoyang is quite used to being scolded on the Internet. A few days after he time traveled, a scandal broke out about him being a big star. Then he was labeled as looking down on national style. There were also reports of his relationship turning into friends and breaking up. News like this one after another caused Xia Haoyang's popularity with passersby is extremely bad. So this time Tony Leung and his wife were scolded by netizens as being dragged down by Xia Haoyang.
At first, it was just a big figure in the self-media who habitually criticized Xia Haoyang on the Internet, because he had criticized Xia Haoyang many times in the past few months, which attracted a certain amount of attention. Then the popularity of the girl group in July made Xia Haoyang's name also very popular. He had been criticizing Xia Haoyang anyway, so he simply took advantage of the popularity of the girl group to continue to criticize. Who knew that Xia Haoyang's girl group Tara released an album with incredible reputation, but Xia Haoyang The black spots on my body have never been clarified, so I just keep spraying. Not to mention that spraying has become a habit. If I don't write an article about Xia Haoyang for three days, I will feel uncomfortable all over. Anyway, I won't receive a letter from a lawyer.
This time when Fat Cat Studio released a new MV, the big shot once again paid attention to it. It is really worthless to participate in the production of the MV as a movie star. In addition, Xia Haoyang's company has a history of playing big names. As a result, an eloquent article "Being a supporting role in a big-name girl group, the veteran actor loses his popularity" came out. As more and more people from the self-media know about this news, and because Xia Haoyang's popularity in the self-media is indeed very poor, a large number of articles criticizing him have appeared. No matter how the article is written, most of the content is: it is embarrassing for a veteran actor to shoot a music video; it is stupid to work with the team of the famous Xia Haoyang; what he shoots is still the song of a girl group, which is not up to grade.
If it was just him who was scolded by Xia Haoyang, it really didn't matter, but because he took part in filming his MV and caused others to be implicated, then Xia Haoyang felt very sorry and made a special call to Carina Lau to apologize for the matter. But Carina Lau was unusually calm and said very generously that it didn't matter and she didn't mind. Instead, he comforted Xia Haoyang not to be affected by the media. Xia Haoyang was heartbroken by the cheerful and cheerful Jia Ling.
Now that the cast and crew are in place, we have also contacted a director in the industry who has made short films and commercials. Although he is not a big name, he is young and has ideas, and his ability is not bad. Xia Haoyang didn't care about the actual shooting, but since he was already interested in making movies, it was his first time joining a professional crew. As a screenwriter and investor, I have communicated with the director all the details I want, and then the rest is to observe on the set every day. Observe how to direct a play, how to shoot and move, and how actors act.
I have to admire Tony Leung's acting skills. Originally, Xia Haoyang had an image of Cha Shengyuan's version in his mind, but as he has been watching Tony Leung's performances these days, the image of the male protagonist played by Cha Shengyuan in his mind has been completely forgotten. All he can think about is Tony Leung Chiu-wei's version. In terms of emotional performance, Tony Leung's performance has fewer redundant movements and less exaggerated expressions, but it is not a completely zombie face with unchanged expressions. It can be said to be more nuanced, using more precise expressions to interpret the hero's situation. The emotional changes in the environment, and Tony Leung's appeal on the scene was amazing, and even the members of Tara, who obviously had no acting skills, were also moved very well.
In the past, I read some time-travel articles that good actors would make it difficult for ordinary actors to take on the roles, but Tony Leung does not do that. Instead, it will help the new actors to get into the roles better. Among the six members of Tara, Quan Wenxin and Qin Jiali have experience in filming. Due to the script, Quan Wenxin is only a guest star in this scene. Qin Jiali is the heroine in the second half of the episode, but her role is not that many. The 16-year-old has the most roles. Xiao Mengyan, but under the guidance of Tony Leung, Xiao Mengyan, who has never filmed before, performed amazingly. You can see the attachment and trust that Xiao Mengyan has for Tony Leung in the play.
The idea of using a good actor to support the whole drama is absolutely correct. The six bosses all played guest roles on the scene, but no matter who acted with Tony Leung, they felt very comfortable and passionate, as if their blood was flowing, and the camera Tony Leung is full of charm. He can use his charm to infect you and drive you. But Tony Leung outside the camera is incomprehensible. The first time we got together, I thought he was trying to be a big name, but after a long time, he realized that this was not a big name. This is extremely social fear. Xiao Mengyan even felt for Tony Leung because of the social fear. Sad and crying.
"Xiao Mengyan, you are suffering from persecution delusion. Mr. Tony Leung actually lives a very happy life. He is not autistic. He just has social anxiety and doesn't like to socialize." Zhao Yishen was comforting Xiao Mengyan.
"I don't know either. I just saw him sitting alone in the corner, and I felt sad, and tears flowed out." Xiao Mengyan explained that she didn't know why she suddenly shed tears.
"Actually, I am too. Looking at Uncle Liang Chaowei's back, I can't help but want to shed tears." Shao Minzhi also looked excited.
"Maybe this is the charm, triggering the inner softness in your hearts. But Mr. Tony Leung is indeed a good actor. He is so outstanding under the camera, so outstanding that I can't describe it." Lao Xie now understands why Fatty always insists on being an actor with excellent acting skills. A new actor has come to play the male lead, and this natural charm that he exudes cannot be compared to what he does now.
Due to Tony Leung's presence, almost everyone's acting skills improved, and the entire MV shooting was always smooth. The original 20-day shooting plan was completed in less than two weeks. After a bit of editing and production, combined with the songs that were already recorded, the MV can be released.
Xia Haoyang was also deeply touched by being followed by the crew throughout the whole process. For the first time, he witnessed with his own eyes how the movie was shot and how the actors acted. This is really much harder than it looks or sounds. Let me use myself as an example: Originally he was just a small character in three or two scenes, but he was NGed a lot of times. With the help of actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai, he barely managed to pass the shot. This experience also triggered Xia Haoyang's decision to never film or guest star again. Filming is really not as easy as I thought. Why don't others dare to say it? Anyway, I will never do it again.
A few days later, Zhou Yuanhong and Li Tianci finally completed the post-production, while Xie Shujie went to discuss the release of the new MV with the music website that he had previously cooperated with. Xia Haoyang had nothing to do in the office, casually browsing the news. Suddenly I saw a piece of news on the Internet "New Song Challenge - Xinan Satellite TV will create a new live music program." Then after reading it carefully, it was clear that it was the "Song Competition" that Xia Haoyang once wanted to hold, and he and Xie Shujie once made this suggestion to Director Liu, the Beijing director of Xinan Satellite TV.
Xia Haoyang had some thoughts of his own, frowning, and kept sitting in the office. He was waiting for Xie Shujie to come back from negotiating the work.
It wasn't until around three o'clock in the afternoon that Xie Shujie walked into Xia Haoyang's office with a serious look on his face.
Seeing Xie Shujie walking in, Fatty smiled and said, "How's it going? How are you talking about the release of the new song?"
"It's okay. Tara's album sold well before. This time several music websites wanted to buy the exclusive copyright of our song. In the end, I sold it to Emperor Penguin Music at a very low price."
"Okay, let's earn an exclusivity first. How much will the MV download price be?" Xia Haoyang asked.
"After discussing with them, I felt that this MV is also 33 minutes long. There are 12 songs in an album, and each song is 3-4 minutes. In fact, it is only more than 40 minutes, so we unanimously approved the 15 yuan What do you think of this price?"
"15? That's okay. The main reason is that we are not famous enough, otherwise we can just order 25." Xia Haoyang doesn't care about the price. He hopes that someone can hear these songs and see this music movie.
"You must have been in the office for another matter." Xie Shujie took the initiative to mention it.
"I saw the news. Xinan Satellite TV is going to hold a new song contest." Xia Haoyang said.
"Well, I've also seen it. It's almost the same thoughts you had before. The only person who knows your thoughts at Xinan Satellite TV is Director Liu, the person in charge here in Beijing."
"Has he called you?" Xia Haoyang asked.
"No, but I didn't take the initiative to contact him. I also wanted to come back and see you first, and let's discuss it first." Lao Xie looked serious.
"At that time, you said that Director Liu was not simple, and during the time when the album was released, he took the initiative to show favor to us, let Liu Xiaozhi appear on their popular show "Everyone Escapes", and also made us owe a Favor.”
"Yes, I have dealt with Director Liu several times. He has dealt with everything and left you speechless. We should be given an explanation for this incident this time."
"Let's see if I'll take the initiative to call you."
