After becoming a traffic star [entertainment circle]

"Mingze, have you ever cared about industry news?" She sneered, "At first, seeing your teacher Tang treating you well, I really thought it was the support of the seniors to the juniors. The street movie is looking for a taker with a low salary!"

"Why do you say that about Teacher Tang?" Du Mingze frowned, "Teacher Tang is not such a person."

Sister Wang sneered, and pulled out a report——

"See for yourself."

Du Mingze took the phone and quickly scanned it.

Searching the Internet, sure enough, this movie is tentatively titled The Painter's Movie, and the industry is generally not very optimistic about it. Even though its director has won awards in the world, even though his leading role is Tang Yi, who is superb in acting and generally recognized by the industry, Also to no avail.

Because his protagonist, named Vincent van Gogh, is a famous European painter.Asians playing Europeans?This sounds like a kind of inferior and weird feeling, and more radical traditional cultural film practitioners said-if you, Tang Yi, really have such good acting skills and sufficient funds, our Chinese culture has a history of 5000 years, just choose which one Not enough for you to shoot, but you want to shoot a gringo?I think you are used to drinking foreign ink abroad, and you only know how to cater to the preferences and aesthetics of foreigners!

At this time, Tang Yi's various international awards seem to have become another source of criticism.Although film critics did not personally attack him because of his wonderful screen performances in the past, it is a general consensus that there are so many celebrities in the past 5000 years, why would you choose such a role? ?

"So, do you understand? You want to play a supporting role in the past, and that is to send yourself into the fire pit of Leiju." Sister Wang sneered.

"But, if I don't act, what about Mr. Tang?" Du Mingze asked back, "He is still going to be the producer and the protagonist, wouldn't it be even worse?"

"That's his business. He chooses to make a movie that is destined to hit the market. What can we do? If you want him not to be so miserable, persuade him not to make it." Sister Wang said indifferently, "Ming Ze , It's already ten o'clock in the evening, I think it's better for us to talk about the endorsement, and then go home and sleep."

"But……"

"No buts."

"I don't care!" Du Mingze gritted his teeth: "In any case, when everyone is not optimistic about this, I should support Teacher Tang even more!"

Sister Wang looked at him with a strange look - the same look she had every time Du Mingze made a childish decision.

"Anyway." She shrugged, and said the classic saying: "Mingze, if you insist, go talk to Mr. Lu."

Go talk to Mr. Lu, go talk to Mr. Lu.Du Mingze made an appointment early the next morning. When he came to the president's office, he briefly explained the situation to Mr. Lu. The other party pondered for a while, and then nodded easily: "Yes——but, you still have to guarantee the quality of Mingze for other jobs. complete in volume.”

After getting permission, Du Mingze immediately became much happier: "Thank you Mr. Lu!" He just said, what's the problem!

On the other side, Sister Wang, the agent, also contacted Mr. Lu, her tone seemed a little eager: "Don't you know? This movie is probably the biggest Waterloo in Tang Yi's investment and production! Why let Mingze Wasting time on a project like this?"

Mr. Lu organized the next schedule in an orderly manner, without raising his head, he said leisurely: "You also said, Mingze just wasted a little time to participate in this project, he didn't waste any money. Besides, as he said Say, even if the project fails, it makes their friendship 'stronger', doesn't it?"

"You mean..." Manager Sister Wang's eyes widened.

"Yes, that's right, that's what you think. Even if the project hits the street, it's a good deal for this little time of guest appearance in exchange for a personal relationship with Tang Yi." Mr. Lu smiled slightly: "Besides... "

Besides, Du Mingze's silly boy still has to maintain the same workload, and even be grateful to him, isn't it better?

With a slight smile, he didn't say anything, and started his day's work with the company's stock K-line glowing green.

At the same time, Tang Yi received a call from Director Lin. The other party sighed and told him: "Xiao Tang, I'm sorry, I got the investment with my old face, and I'm going to sign a contract when things get close. People backed down again."

"It's okay." Tang Yi paused, "I can add some funds."

"Xiao Tang, I'm not talking about you. Although I like this film very much, but... are you sure you want to make it? Although, if you act in this film, the actors' salary is not a problem, but the special effects cost money. When it was broadcast, there were few publicity gimmicks, and the audience didn't buy it, and they didn't go to the cinema to watch the film. Even if the filming was good, what's the use? This kind of autobiography of Europeans made by Asians can't win awards at international film festivals. Embarrassing - you know their aesthetics, if it is traditional Chinese style, it will be easier to win awards."

"So." Tang Yi asked with a smile, "Why did you take this film? As far as I know, the price that the crew of "Cleopatra" after "Medical" offered you is more than twice as much as mine, right?"

"Hey." Director Lin sighed: "You don't know this yet? I make money making commercial films all year round, so don't I just want to make some niche films with some artistic value? People live in this world, besides making money, they can't do something. Do you have your own hobbies?"

"Then, my answer is also the same." Tang Yi said with a smile, although his tone was relaxed, but he was extremely firm: "It's great if they can appreciate it. If they can't appreciate it, then I will take pictures too."

"Forget it, I can't hold you back." Director Lin shook his head, "I'll cheat the filming of "Doctor" later, and save some money. That's it, we'll talk about the details later, bye."

"Bye." Tang Yi smiled and hung up the phone, but the smile gradually disappeared. He looked at the phone and was about to put it back when the phone rang again. It was Du Mingze.

"Hey, Mingze, what's the matter?" Tang Yi asked.

"It's about the movie." Du Mingze replied in a straightforward manner.

Tang Yi understood: "Your company won't let you participate in the show? That's okay, this movie wasn't a good movie at first, so we can work together next time."

"No!" Du Mingze hastily vetoed, "Teacher Tang, I mean, don't pay me any more!"

Tang Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Mingze, don't be self-willed, tell me first, is this your own decision? Does the company know?"

"This is my own decision, but the company also knows about it." Du Mingze seemed a little nervous on the other end: "Mr. Tang, I know the situation of the movie, and I want to help you, but I don't have any other abilities—— This year's film salary is still on hold, and the agent doesn't allow me to invest money—so I don't need film salary, it's probably all I can help, I hope you don't hold it against me!"

"How can you dislike it?" Tang Yi smiled. Amidst the negative voices all day long, he finally heard a voice of support, and finally understood why Du Mingze's friend didn't use "cute" as the first adjective for him. But "speaking morality".Such unconditional support is indeed worthy, and the loyalty is so cute.

"Mingze." He suddenly chuckled, the sound quality of the phone was so good, as if he was breathing right next to his ear, Du Mingze blushed inexplicably, and took the receiver away: "What... what?"

"I regret that I didn't meet you sooner."

"Ah." Du Mingze held the microphone blankly, not knowing how to respond.

He seems to be teased.Du Mingze's face slowly turned red, and after a long while, he replied dryly: "We can watch together next year."

Tang Yi finally couldn't help it, and laughed softly.

■

After returning to China in autumn, he was extremely busy with work, and there was not much time allocated for "Van Gogh", so Du Mingze could only find time to read the script by himself.It is better to say that it is a creative note than a script.That's right, this movie, which has been slammed infinitely during the preparation period, has another point that makes it hard to complain-the script is still half-formed.

Ordinary scripts, such as "Medical Medicine", were about to be filmed, and the scripts received had a very clear story line.The time, place, characters, and their love and hatred are clearly written there, waiting for the actors to speculate, comprehend, and perform.

But "Van Gogh" is not like this. It is not so much a script as it is a creation note, with only some overviews and notes of different colors.

Even so, with trust in Teacher Tang, Du Mingze continued to read it seriously——

Van Gogh's life is divided into three stages, childhood, growing up in depression.The creative period is clear but shy.Madness, confusion and low self-esteem.The longest period should be the creation period. His thoughts, his encounters with his confidantes, and the separation due to different concepts lead to his madness.His nature began to turn from innocence to pathology.

This is Director Lin's handwriting.

We intend to present the scene in the way of oil painting.From reality to oil painting, and then a certain point of the oil painting shrinks and then expands. After the transition is the next stage, and the tone must also match...

Du Mingze didn't recognize this handwriting. From a point of view, he paid so much attention to light and shadow, it was probably a photographer.

The next handwriting is very familiar, it is Tang Yi, I saw him write——

"Van Gogh was a mentally ill patient in his later period, which is a bit difficult to deal with... Is he crazy enough to know anyone, or is he just crazy when he is excited? I think it is the latter..."

If this was a film review, Du Mingze would think that the text was very well written. After all, even he, a bystander who hadn't participated in it, could feel the grand, passionate and crazy scenes, but this is a movie.Therefore, at the risk of being complained about being uneducated, he called Tang Yi: "No... Teacher Tang, with all due respect, what are you guys going to film? What am I going to play? I don't understand. I think you need a clearer script, otherwise you don’t even know what you want to shoot, so how can you expect the audience to understand?”

Tang Yi laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Don't worry." He said, "Why are you so impatient, this is just the beginning."
