Chapter 840 Beautiful Scenery in April (Part 2)
Thinking of the room full of actors holding history books and reading them, he suddenly thought of something, "Um...has the little flower arrived?"
Tu Pingsen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Sorry, Brother Li, she went to study abroad and just left."
Li Hanxiang frowned when he heard this, "What should I do?"
The Xiaohua they were talking about was the heroine in a very sensational movie two years ago.
The name of that movie is Xiaohua, the heroine's name is also Xiaohua, and the person who plays her is called Cheng Chong. She was only an 18-year-old girl at the time, but she also won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress with this movie.
She was only 19 years old when she won the award.
Just when everyone thought she was going to have a bright future, this girl wanted to go abroad to see, read and enrich herself, and completely gave up her prosperous career in China.
Therefore, the Hundred Flowers Award heroine directly took advantage of her supporting role, Aunt Liu.
If Cheng Chong was still in China, the 1980s should have belonged to her.
But just because she was away, Liu Xiaoqing worked very hard and had outstanding conditions in all aspects, so she took over and became the most influential actress in the country.
Liu Xiaoqing in the 1980s.
Gong Li in the 1990s.
Zhang Ziyi in the 2000s.
These are the three most influential actresses in China over the past few decades.
Whether you like them or not, and think they are worthy or not, their achievements and acting skills are recognized both at home and abroad.
Li Hanxiang also watched "Little Flower" and felt that the actress Cheng Chong was very charming. She was not old, but had good acting skills and was very handsome. She was just right for the young Cixi who was in danger in the summer resort.
He thought that for a great director like himself, with the permission and active cooperation from above, there should be no problem at all in finding Cheng Chong.
I didn’t expect that this actor would be so temperamental that he would give up everything to study abroad?
Things that Li Hanxiang couldn't figure out actually happened frequently in this era.
In the eyes of many young people, everything in China is backward. They have to pursue their dreams and realize their ideals and values in the center of the world.
Therefore, there is nothing surprising about leaving everything behind.
Of course, if we look back at this 40 years later, whoever goes out will be a fool.
Times are different, backgrounds are different, and concepts are naturally different.
"It's not just her, there are many promising young people here from all walks of life, and they all went out to study abroad in droves." Tu Pingsen explained his current background and recommended the newcomers he was looking for. "But , it’s not like there are no good actors. Look, how about the Cui Gu in "Little Flower"? Her face is like a full moon, her red and phoenix eyes are very beautiful, and she is much more noble than Cheng Chong."
Li Hanxiang likes to watch mainland movies because he can see that although mainland movies of this era are very crude, the simple emotions contained in them and the subtle but clearly expressed details in the movies are all fascinating.
He has watched "Little Flower" no less than four or five times.
He likes Cheng Chong and also likes Liu Xiaoqing in it.
The reason is not only what Tu Pingsen said, but also because Liu Xiaoqing has an aura in his acting.
If such an actress is well-trained, she might not be able to occupy a position in the future film industry - the film industry he thinks of here is the international film industry, at least all of Asia.
But as for "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", he always felt that Cheng Chong was the most suitable actor.
The reason is not other, the most important thing is age.
Liu Xiaoqing was born in 1951 and is 30 years old this year.
Cheng Chong was born in 1961, ten years younger than her.
This age is most suitable for the 26-year-old Cixi.
However, now that Cheng Chong has left, Li Hanxiang feels that he might as well let Liu Xiaoqing give it a try.
If Liu Xiaoqing is suitable, then she can play it.
If it's not suitable, Li Hanxiang would like to find Pan Yingzi to play the role in Baodao.
"Okay, let her give it a try and take a walk." After thinking about it, Li Hanxiang made his decision.
"OK!"
Tupinson breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay now.
"As for the male lead, Xianfeng in the first film, what do you think about using Tang Guoqiang? Or Chi Ziqiang?" Tu Pingsen then asked about the second character.
Tang Guoqiang, as everyone in later generations will know, is the dashing and suave Zhuge Liang, who later became the emperor.
But in fact, in the early 1980s, there was another person who was compared to him. The two were known as the two pretty boys in the 1980s.
This person is even more famous and handsome than Tang Guoqiang.
His name is Chi Ziqiang.
Well, yes, the one who sang "Iron Window Tears".
Chi Ziqiang became famous at a young age, but he was not very lucky...or maybe he was too young and couldn't control it, and it happened to happen in those few years, so he went straight in, and his entire acting career was ruined.
Tang Guoqiang is different. He is smart, and relatively restrained and low-key. He did not get carried away after becoming famous. Therefore, after practicing for more than ten or twenty years, he has become one of the representatives of the acting school of mainland actors.
Although not as good as the five golden flowers from the mainland - Ge You, Chen Daomin, Chen Baoguo, Zhang Guoli, and Zhang Fengyi, they are definitely big names.
Now, the 29-year-old Tang Guoqiang is also very active in starring in movies, busy with his work, and very diligent.
Chi Ziqiang is a little worse. He is now in and out of entertainment venues all day long, or he is partying with a group of upper-class kids. He is extremely happy.
Tupinson naturally has his own selfish motives.
The leading actor Li Hanxiang never asked him, but he was still ready.
In the minds of these mainland filmmakers and cultural units, it is best for all actors to be mainlanders.
But Li Hanxiang refused without thinking, "No, this movie is invested by Jun Shao. He definitely hopes to be released in Hong Kong and other places in Asia. He must find a leading actor from Hong Kong to balance it."
Li Hanxiang understood that it would be an impossible task to make back the 10 million or more U.S. dollars invested by Yin Jun in the mainland.
Let’s not talk about the tricks of mainland movie theaters. Just say that mainland movie theaters can give you the box office, which is considered to be regular. How do you take it away?
Go back with a bunch of RMB that is useless in Xiangjiang?
A film must not only pursue art, but also pursue investment returns. Only by striking a balance between these two aspects can the film industry continue.
This is the truth that Li Hanxiang has summed up through painful lessons over his decades of acting.
Therefore, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and even the entire "The Legend of Cixi" rely on Hong Kong and the Asian market to recover their costs and make money.
At least he had to make sure he didn't lose money, so that he could have the face to face Yin Jun who was full of trust and kindness to him, and he could be worthy of Yin Jun who cared so much about his body.
When Tu Pingsen saw Li Hanxiang refuse without thinking, he knew in his heart that this was probably Li Hanxiang's bottom line.
However, he was very interested in the person Li Hanxiang mentioned.
Yin Jun.
This young man who swam to Hong Kong three years ago started from scratch and used his outstanding talents to build a huge business group in Hong Kong that is said to have billions of Hong Kong dollars. It is really amazing!
Of course, as a cultural person, he is even more amazed by Yin Jun's ability in movies and TV series.
Only people in this circle know how difficult it is to write a good book.
A screenwriter who is between 30 and 50 years old and at the peak of his creative power will take at least a year to write a script.
The so-called grinding refers to conceiving, writing, revising, and finalizing, over and over again, which is enough to give people a headache.
But Yin Jun is different.
He went to Hong Kong from the mainland for about three years and has written more than 30 scripts, including movie and TV scripts.
On average, there are more than ten scripts a year, and I have to write one every month.
Such speed is simply unheard of.
But the most shocking thing is not the speed at which he writes scripts, but the quality of his scripts!
Whether it's a movie or a TV series, Yin Jun's script is the biggest guarantee of box office and ratings.
It can be said that in the current Xiangjiang film and television industry, Yin Jun must take at least half of the credit for being such an invincible player throughout Asia!
This is truly amazing!
From ancient times to the present, I have never seen anyone who writes scripts be so evil.
No wonder people in Xiangjiang call him "the greatest genius since the opening of Xiangjiang". This "genius" title is absolutely well-deserved.
It is enough to say that Yin Jun was famous in Xiangjiang. While Yin Jun was famous in Xiangjiang, he still had deep connections with the cultural circles in the mainland.
For example, he spent 6 million US dollars to establish the "Art Development Fund", which is a contribution to the mainland's cultural sector.
According to what Tupinson knows, hundreds of writers, screenwriters, and directors have received awards from the foundation last year, which has greatly relieved their pressure.
Not to mention the "Qilin Weekly" founded by Yin Jun in Xiangjiang. I don't know how many students were recruited from the two major art schools, making the art and animation departments of these two universities the most fragrant steamed buns—— As long as you have the ability and perform well, you can go to work in Xiangjiang and receive Xiangjiang's salary. Do you think it's awesome? !
People like Yin Jun, who have prospered in Xiangjiang and have not forgotten their hometown in the mainland, undoubtedly have a very high reputation in the literary and art circles in the mainland.
Tupinson looked further.
It's just now.
After the "Art Development Fund" was developed for three to five years, ten to eight years, and the writers, screenwriters, and directors who were favored by Yin Jun emerged one by one, Yin Jun's status in the mainland cultural circle , is truly at its peak, and no one can shake it.
