"Thunder Gun Saint" successfully signed Qiao Zhansi. Qiao Zhansi was worried when he heard that Weihuang Media had come, and was afraid of affecting the rest of the crew. Who would have thought that Director Chu's heart is very big, she seems not to be afraid at all, and works as usual every day.
In the special effects company, Qiao Zhansi asked the staff to measure the data, he withdrew from the room, and happened to meet Chu Xiaxing, this is why: "Director, are you sure that it's okay to choose me to play?"
Chu Xiaxing had just watched the green screen. She was used to Qiao Zhans' worries and said casually, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm not responsible for anything, and some producers are the ones to blame."
Chu Xiaxing: Now there are both President Song and short paragraphs, and even the back-up man is full.
Qiao Zhansi was hesitant when he heard the words. Instead of being comforted by jokes, he showed a deeper worry.
Chu Xiaxing noticed his abnormality and said thoughtfully, "I advise you to show less of this expression in the future."
Qiao Zhansi was stunned.
Chu Xiaxing: "The gun saint will not show such an expression. Instead of worrying about imposing on others, it is better to think about how to perform well. This is the real reason for signing you."
"If you can't adjust your emotions, the character you play will not respond to you."
The protagonist in "Thunder Gun Saint" is always idle and relaxed in daily life, and no one knows his true identity. He is a hero who "disgusts to be called a hero", with a western cowboy-like free and easy, never unfounded.
Chu Xiaxing didn't want Qiao Zhansi to be in a low state for a long time. This kind of mentality would be projected on the performance, which would easily affect the final picture presentation.
Qiao Zhansi was still worried, but when he heard Director Chu's warning, he quickly cheered up and assured: "Okay, Director, I will work hard."
"However, Director Chu is actually more like a gun saint. I feel that you look free and unrestrained, and you are very courageous..." Although Qiao Zhansi did not know the details of the negotiations between Director Chu and Weihuang Media, he knew that it would be difficult for the other party to insist on using himself. To be honest, it's not something ordinary people dare to do.
Few people are willing to stand up for strangers, and most people have their own tactful ways of dealing with the world. Qiao Zhansi has been concentrating on studying characters recently. He feels that some of Chu Xiaxing's characteristics are similar to those of the gun saint, and the seemingly casual and sober characteristics are particularly consistent.
Chu Xiaxing: "How difficult is it to be free? Anyone can be free as long as you want."
Qiao Zhansi: "How come?" He felt that he was not free and was always under various kinds of oppression.
Chu Xiaxing: "There is no absolute freedom in the world, there will always be all kinds of rules, some are written rules and some are unwritten agreements. The former are like laws and regulations that cannot be violated, and the latter are the world's conventions and there is no uniform standard. , may be gender, age, occupation, income…”
"Some people often dream that they have a lot of money, how free should they live, or become a glamorous and beautiful star, they should be able to be free and unrestrained, but in fact they are still confined to a stereotyped label." Chu Xiaxing calmly said. , "If you really want the so-called freedom, it is for yourself, not for outsiders or labels."
"With the courage to go against convention, anyone can be free, as long as you're ready to take on the consequences."
When Chu Xiaxing dared to reject Shu Jie and others, she was ready to bear the consequences, just like when she decided to become a director, she knew that female directors would encounter more problems than male directors. Complaining about the existing conditions is meaningless. After all, freedom is a state of mind. As long as you want to understand it, you will not be bound by others.
Chu Xiaxing confided this to Qiao Zhansi, just wanting him to be closer to the gun saint, she explained: "If there is no crisis in the movie, the gun saint should be a weirdo in the eyes of others, he is not a success in the mundane sense. People, but he can also live very freely, let go of a little concern, you can be closer to him."
Qiao Zhansi was stunned for a moment, he actually had a feeling of empowerment. Now that he thinks about it, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad. It's just that there is no drama to play. It was the same for himself before, and there is really no need to worry anymore. He thought about this, and the strings that had been tight for a long time were loosened slightly, as if he could better understand the mentality of playing the role.
Rather than saying that the gun saint is free and unrestrained due to his powerful abilities, it is better to say that his mentality makes it stronger and canonized.
In the next few days, Qiao Zhansi did not show any more worried expression, and devoted himself to the preparations, earnestly preparing for the martial arts.
Chu Xiaxing also chatted a few words in his spare time, casually asked Qiao Zhansi's gossip, and wanted to know the reason why the other party was blocked. She thought it was peach news or uneven distribution of stolen goods, but Qiao Zhansi couldn't give a reason for himself. He was completely hidden in the snow for no reason.
Qiao Zhansi said helplessly: "Actually, they had to sign me at the beginning, but the resources promised after the signing were completely unwritten. I was delayed in the company for a long time, and finally I tried my best to cancel the contract, but it seemed like I was entangled. …”
Qiao Zhansi also has a lot of grievances against Weihuang Media. He was persuaded to sign a contract at the beginning, who ever wanted to get into big trouble. If he had just started signing other companies, he might not have had a miserable experience.
Chu Xiaxing looked suspicious after listening to it. Qiao Zhansi felt that Weihuang Media was targeting her because of the termination of the contract, but she thought that someone had not planned to let Qiao Zhans film from the beginning. The signing of Qiao Zhansi by Weihuang Media is more like controlling him. What better way to control an actor than an artist contract
Chu Xiaxing: "Then do you know the Xiesong Group? It is said that Weihuang is a subsidiary of Xiesong, and Xiesong is developing well overseas."
Qiao Zhans shook his head: "I've never even seen the resources of the Emperor, let alone one level up."
Chu Xiaxing remembered Shu Jie he had met that day. The other party claimed that as long as "Gun Saint" gave up Qiao Zhansi, then Xiesong would be able to help with overseas distribution. However, Chu Xiaxing swept Qiao Zhansi from beginning to end, except that he felt that he was suitable for acting, he really couldn't see anything special.
Chu Xiaxing: Is there any other company that likes to blast off its own actors
Although Song Wenye said that he would solve the matter of Weihuang Media, Chu Xiaxing didn't know what he could do. After all, Mr. Song is not like Young Master Duan. He can't run home to find his elders, and he doesn't do anything to bully others.
In the Fan Ke Film Industry, Duan Chengyan heard about Qiao Zhansi, and he was immediately dissatisfied. He was not sympathetic to the other party, but was offended. , he sits in the office every day, can he still figure it out?"
Duan Chengyan: There are people making troubles in my project, so I will be the first to make troubles!
Chu Xiaxing laughed and said: "Mr. Song can't solve it, can you solve it? Are you going to go back to your parents to wipe your tears?"
Duan Chengyan: "Why is it so troublesome, they all come to the door specially, and I also drive to block them downstairs, isn't this just like making trouble?"
Duan Chengyan didn't believe that if he blocked the door of Weihuang Media, the other party would still have the leisure to come and play the ban.
"As expected of you." Chu Xiaxing thought about the first time the eldest young master "invited" herself to dinner, she couldn't help sneering, "But let's forget it, I'm afraid you will be strangled again, children should not play bandit routines. , don't rush to send people's heads."
Duan Chengyan said angrily, "It was an accident that time for you! Take advantage of my unpreparedness!"
Chu Xiaxing said calmly, "Then are you ready now? I'll strangle you again on the spot?"
Duan Chengyan pondered for a few seconds, then he closed his mouth rather aggrieved, and honestly stopped talking about it.
At this time, Xia Hong rushed into the room, and he happily announced: "I have good news for you, our company has recently added new business, and will gradually make efforts in the field of overseas distribution, "Thunder Gun Saint" is the first. One-step main work…”
Duan Chengyan: "Can you still distribute overseas?"
After Chu Xiaxing heard this, she guessed another meaning and asked, "President Song's idea?"
Xia Hong emphasized: "The executor is me!"
Song Wenye and Duan Chengyan's ways of doing things are really different. He is completely the way of thinking of the group manager. Since Weihuang Media revealed the intention of banning actors, he will first study what the other party's main business is.
Weihuang Media has not produced many works in recent years, with very few signed actors, and its main revenue is concentrated in overseas distribution. Because of this, many people are tired of Wei Huang's behavior but dare not offend, just because they don't want their works to be hindered in overseas distribution.
Due to the matter of Yanchuan Film and Television City, Song Wenye has been absorbing advanced overseas experience, reaching cooperation with Luokang Film and Television Base and other institutions, and can also receive overseas resources. He just didn't bring them together before, but now they all gather in Fanke Films and start to compete with Weihuang Media for overseas distribution!
Since overseas distribution is the strength of Weihuang Media, as long as it finds a way to defeat the other party here, it will be difficult for a company with no works and no actors to continue to gain a foothold.
Weihuang Media is backed by the Xiesong Group, and Fanke Films is also backed by the Yuansheng Group. The rest is really an arm-wrestling between capitals, and it all depends on which side has the upper hand.
Because Weihuang Media's reputation in the circle is generally average, after Fanke Films started its overseas distribution business, it soon received a lot of commissions from production companies. I hope that Fanke Films can help with distribution, and it has a good momentum. good.
We didn't have a better choice in the past, and now there is a company that replaces Weihuang Media, naturally not to be left behind.
Chu Xiaxing also introduced Wang Toyota. Although "Wu Dao" has been released in China, it does not prevent it from being released overseas. This is another new income.
In the face of the fierce sniping from Fanke Films, Shu Jie and others did not show up again. They lost the territory of overseas distribution, which means they also lost the means to check and balance "Thunder Gun Saint".
If it were put in the past, Weihuang Media might have made a stumbling block for the release of "Gun Saint", but it is said that the company is currently busy regaining old customers, and it has a feeling of being overwhelmed, and has no intention of going out to block it.
Song Wenye solved the problem fundamentally. He did not directly use violence to suppress violence, but scrambled for jobs with Weihuang Media, forcing all their staff into tension and anxiety. Weihuang had no revenue pressure before, but now it is overwhelmed by performance. It is no longer enough to rely on the strength of Xiexong Group. Who made Fanke Pictures also have Yuansheng Group!
Chu Xiaxing didn't expect Song to solve problems with the businessman's thinking. She flipped the script and sighed with admiration: "This is the terrible thing about capitalists, and the talent and skills are to let everyone 007 live under the high pressure of work... "
Chu Xiaxing: As long as the enemy has a 996 working system, they will not have time to be a demon, and maybe they will be progressively included in the icu!
