I heard that the temperature would start to drop significantly in late January, so Yu Dong and his group hurriedly took advantage of the nice weather on Sunday to go out for a walk.
Yu Dong's family, Yu Hua's family, Bi Feiyu's family, Feng Ming's family, plus Zhang Xian and Ruan Xiaohu, there are a total of twelve people, big and small, and the lineup is very strong.
A group of people walked out of the school in a mighty manner. Just after passing the library, Zhang Xian pointed to the school gate and said in surprise: "Why are there such a crowd of people around the gate?"
Everyone else also looked over.
At first they thought another reporter was coming and were blocked at the door because they saw someone carrying a camera.
It wasn't until I got closer that I saw clearly that the person carrying the camera was Lu Xi, a professional director, and next to him was Wang Hailin, who was holding a script.
In front of them was Uncle Zhou.
Wang Hailin seems to be telling a play to Uncle Zhou... No, it should be Uncle Zhou telling a play to Wang Hailin.
"Xiao Wang, the role of the janitor you designed is too thin. Look, if it is a young janitor who has just been working for a few months, it will be perfectly fine to play the role like you did."
Uncle Zhou pointed to the script in Wang Hailin's hand: "But if you film me... a person who has worked as a janitor for decades, how can he be like this? A person who has worked as a janitor in a school for decades, how big or small is the school?
Doesn’t he know the little news better than anyone else? How can he not know all the details when asked? Xiao Wang, do you think I am right?”
"Yes, yes, sir, everything you said makes sense." Wang Hailin nodded repeatedly, "Then I will change it now?"
Uncle Zhou smiled and waved his hand, "There's no need to change the play just for me. Didn't I tell you that it's okay to find a young guard to play the role? Why don't we let Xiao Fang do it?"
Xiao Fang, who was watching the fun on the side, took two steps back when he heard that Uncle Zhou asked him to act, and waved his hands repeatedly, "Here, I can't do this."
Wang Hailin also said, "Let's change the acting. I feel that Uncle Zhou, your acting skills are very good. You are the kind of talented person."
"Really?" Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "My ancestors did perform roles for the officials."
"It turns out he was educated at home, no wonder." Wang Hailin conveniently flattered Uncle Zhou.
Lu Xi then consolidated, "Those actors who have graduated from professional courses may not be able to compare with the uncle."
Uncle Zhou waved his hand modestly, "It's passed, it's passed."
At this time, Zhang Xian, who had been watching the excitement from the outside of the crowd, said, "How about it, have you two boys been educated?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else also noticed Yu Dong and the others standing behind.
"Hello teachers."
"Hello, teachers."
The students who were joining in the fun said hello obediently and then made way for them.
Bi Feiyu also said, "Uncle Zhou is right, art still has to come from life. You must learn to observe more, so that your material can be richer."
Wang Hailin and Lu Xi nodded in succession, "Yes, yes, the teachers are right."
Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "I just play with them. I don't understand anything about making movies."
"Uncle, you don't understand movies, but you understand life. What children today lack is life. Without life, where would movies be?"
Yu Dong smiled and said something to Uncle Zhou, and then said to Wang Hailin and the others, "Learn more from Uncle Zhou."
"What are you learning from me? Are you just fooling around?"
"Okay, sir, don't be modest. We're going out for a walk so I won't disturb you."
"Okay, I would like to send you my best wishes, teachers." Wang Hailin said hurriedly.
Bi Feiyu glared at him, "You are quite anxious to see us off."
Wang Hailin shrank his neck, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
"I think you are quite brave."
When the students around saw Wang Hailin being taught a lesson, they couldn't help laughing.
Amid this burst of laughter, Yu Dong and the others walked through the crowd and exited the school gate.
Everyone was walking along the road. Zhang Xian looked back with interest in the direction of the gate and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhou is very popular now. I heard that many film crews are looking for him to film."
"I've heard about it too." Yu Hua nodded, "I've also heard that if you invite Uncle Zhou to film a movie, you must treat him to a drink first, and then you have to take care of the food during the filming. During this time, Auntie will not go to school.
Food is delivered."
"Not only do they not deliver meals, sometimes the aunt will also go to have wine with them." Bi Feiyu added.
"The main reason is that it is difficult to find extras here in Jinling. There is a high probability that the teachers of the troupe are not willing to participate in such a small project. Even if they are willing, the remuneration is not something that the students can afford. The market has risen ridiculously in the past two years."
Speaking of film remuneration, Zhang Xian felt a little emotional. The market has indeed risen very quickly in the past two years.
From the perspective of the overall environment, people's wages are generally rising, prices are also rising, and it is normal for actors' remuneration to rise.
But relatively speaking, actors' salaries have risen much faster than those in other industries.
Not just actors, but the entire film and television industry is changing rapidly, with everything rising and changing.
When Yu Dong heard Zhang Xian's emotion, he smiled and said nothing. This situation is nothing now, but it will be called magic in the future.
But what Zhang Xian said is true. It is really difficult for students to find actors for filming here in Jinling. Young characters can be dealt with by students, but older characters cannot.
And Uncle Zhou does indeed have some talent.
Not to mention his acting skills, Uncle Zhou is not like most people who are afraid of the camera. The old man is very relaxed and he can understand clearly when the students tell him about the drama.
In the words of some students, Uncle Zhou was born to be a corner boy.
Take today's incident as an example. If someone who has not been in the film and television industry for a few years listens to the director's instructions, he will act whatever the director says. But Uncle Zhou can see the problem, and he also
Be brave enough to point out problems.
Yu Hua joked: "After the short film competition starts next year, should we set up some kind of actor award and give Uncle Zhou a gold medal for supporting actors?"
"I won't mention the actor award in advance this time. When the short film festival starts next year, people from other schools who come to compete will probably be very confused when they see such an old man in so many movies." Bi Feiyu said with a smile.
Chen Hong hugged Yu Haiguo and said with a smile, "After hearing what Feiyu said, I'm quite looking forward to it."
"I'm looking forward to it too." Fu Jing nodded.
Zhang Xian looked at Feng Ming, "Old Feng, did you also play a guest role?"
Feng Ming scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, "A team came to me to make a guest appearance as a down-and-out poet."
Yu Dong joked, "You look like a bear, but you can't act the feeling of being down and out."
Feng Ming rolled his eyelids, "What do you mean, why do I look like a bear? You don't understand art at first glance. Contrast, do you understand? The contrast of characters can quickly bring profound meaning to the audience. It creates an impression and creates a sense of impact. This is called drama, which is essential for writing scripts. You don’t understand this, so you teach drama creation?”
"Hey, if I don't teach drama creation, why don't I teach physical education in your physical education department?"
"It's not impossible."
Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Speaking of the script, Lao Yu's "Don't Talk to Strangers" will be aired soon. Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
Yu Dong nodded, "It will be broadcast in March."
"Then there are only two months left. Will it be broadcast on Suzhou TV Station?"
"broadcast."
"Then when it premieres, let's make an appointment to watch it together?"
"How about that? Everyone should watch it at home. This can increase the ratings."
"It's so little less than your ratings?"
"Besides, you can each turn on your own TV and then watch it together."
"That's such a waste of electricity."
"That's weird. If you look at it separately, it won't waste electricity?"
"That's true."
…
As soon as Giuseppe returned to Italy, he heard that people from the Deep Space Company were looking for him.
He had just returned from the United States, so he was quite impressed with the Deep Space Company.
During this period, the Deep Space Company has dominated the limelight in North America. Whether it is in the film and television circles, cultural circles, or even scientific circles, the name of this company can be heard frequently.
A few days ago, the new book "A Song of Ice and Fire" by Deep Space Company author George Martin has just been released and has become a new favorite in the book market, directly entering the top ten of the best-selling book list that week.
At first, everyone was attracted by the names of YU and Robert Jordan. Later, readers discovered that this was indeed a good book, so the sales of this novel continued to rise, with no downward trend at all.
When major newspapers reported that "A Song of Ice and Fire" had entered the best-seller list, people were surprised to find that among the top fifteen books on the best-selling list that week were five books from Deep Space.
In addition to "A Song of Ice and Fire", there are also "Deep Space", "Second World", "Resident Evil 1" and "Resident Evil 2".
Looking further back, there are two more books under the Deep Space banner in the top twenty, one is "Fatal Identity" and the other is "Going West".
Although most of these books are by YU, people still remember Deep Space as a company.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Giuseppe to even think about the Deep Space Company.
So when he learned that Deep Space Company was looking for him, he contacted the other party immediately, and then he learned about Deep Space's purpose. It turned out that the other party had a script and wanted to ask if he would take over it.
Although Giuseppe preferred to write and direct it himself, he decided to read the script because of the Deep Space Company's reputation.
After meeting, Giuseppe discovered that what the other party presented was not a film and television script, but a literary script, and the script came from an Italian writer.
Giuseppe just looked at it for a little while, then he looked up at Terry Hume, the head of Deep Space Corporation's European region, "I would like to ask, why is your company looking for me?"
Tire smiled and said: "Mr. Tornatore, do I need any special reason to make a movie with you? Everyone knows that you are the best director in the world. I think that if I don't ask you to make a movie, I should need
Reason?"
"Mr. Hume, you are very good at praising people, but what I want to ask is, why did you find this script and think I can film it? As far as I know, most of your business is in the United States and China." Zhu
Sepe said.
Ti Rui narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Actually, YU saw this script by chance, and he himself also liked watching your movies very much, and felt that this script is very suitable for you. So he asked us to ask you about your wishes, and even
Out of respect for you, he didn't make any changes to the script."
"YU?" Giuseppe raised his eyebrows: "He asked you to come to me?"
"Indeed." Ti Rui nodded.
"If that's the case." Giuseppe looked at the script in his hand with a smile, "then I should take a serious look at it."
