Chapter 724 Future Superstar
Li Qian turned his head to look over, then stood up.
"Ah, hello Miss Zhou, what a coincidence."
Holding a plate of ice cream, Zhou Jingyi's expression changed slightly, and the expression on her face was also complicated for a moment, but in the end, she still said: "I...should I call you Director Li, or President Li?"
These words reveal the arrogance in his bones.
Li Qian can be called a big name no matter whether he writes songs, sings or directs. In terms of movies and TV dramas alone, the capital and ability in his hands make him have the energy far beyond the first-line directors, but Zhou Jingyi is just a newcomer. For a budding newcomer actor, if someone else changes, this question is unnecessary to ask.
Whether it is called "Director Li" or "Mr. Li", it is a matter of course, and some people are even willing to get close, and take the initiative to call "Guru", and call themselves Li Qian's fans.
She also seemed to have some slight hesitation, but in the end, she still asked this question which itself represented unruly. It seems polite, but in fact it is not willing to be inferior at all.
Li Qian smiled slightly when he heard the words, "It's fine. It's just a title. It's fine if you call me Li Qian! We are the same age."
This answer seemed to reassure Zhou Jingyi slightly, she smiled at Li Qian, turned her head to look at the beautiful girl who had been staring at her with wide eyes since just now, "Hi, hello."
Jiang Yiyi still had a spoon in her mouth, but her eyes were a little wary, "Hello!"
Zhou Jingyi thought for a while, then turned to Li Qian and said, "Can I sit here?"
Li Qian smiled and stretched out his hand, "Of course! Sit down! Such a rare coincidence!"
Zhou Jingyi put down the plate, gracefully opened the chair and sat down, turned her head to look at Jiang Yiyi curiously, without blinking her eyes, "You are so beautiful!"
Jiang Yiyi forced a smile, "You are beautiful too!"
Li Qian turned his eyes around the two of them, smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Jingyi was the first to reach out, "Hi, my name is Zhou Jingyi, a young actor."
Jiang Yiyi also stretched out her hand, "My name is Jiang Yiyi."
After the two shook hands, Zhou Jingyi finally withdrew her attention and turned her head to look at Li Qian, especially at his plate, "Do you also like Haagen-Dazs?"
Li Qian shrugged, and said helplessly: "I don't dare to eat, for fear of getting upset."
Zhou Jingyi is a smart person, when she heard the words, she turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yiyi, with a half-smile.
Jiang Yiyi was a little upset, but she blinked her eyes, glanced at Li Qian and Zhou Jingyi, and held back her rare words.
Li Qian had no choice but to say: "Yiyi is the apprentice of one of my senior sisters, and now she is also signed to our Minghu Culture, she is the little princess of our company, I owed her a meal a while ago, and then I was forced to come and eat this with her .”
Zhou Jingyi smiled, "So that's how it is!"
After finishing speaking, she took a spoon and started to eat ice cream. She didn't feel that the atmosphere on the table was a bit weird at this time, and she didn't seem to notice that the girl named Jiang Yiyi was very upset because of her sudden arrival. He turned his head to communicate with her with great interest, "You also like the strawberry ice cream cake here? I have to eat this every time I come!"
Jiang Yiyi stared at Li Qian with wide eyes, as if she didn't know what to say.
But at this time, Zhou Jingyi didn't seem to expect Jiang Yiyi's response, so she ate another spoonful of ice cream, then looked at Li Qian, and said, "A few days ago, I went to Minghu Culture for an audition, but unfortunately I didn't see you. It’s a TV series directed by Kim Han Kim of your company, but I remember there was a video at that time, have you seen my audition later? Do you think there is anything I need to improve? Tell me?”
Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, this is really not easy to answer.
The filming of "Full House" has already started, and Zhou Jingyi has already lost the selection, and her failure is not because of her acting skills or inappropriate roles, but simply because she does not have an admission ticket.
This point, Zhou Jingyi may be able to guess, or may not know at all.
But regardless of the possibility, she was obviously a little unconvinced that she was not selected for the play in the end, and it could be heard in her tone.
But Li Qian replied seriously, "I really watched your audition video. Director Jin specially recommended your performance to me, saying that you are very aura. However, your way is still too wild. In my opinion, it would be even better if you could accept a little more in the future! Hmm... I have read your profile, you should be a graduate of a film and television school, right? I suggest you when you are out of action, right? You can go to schools like Shunying, Huaxi, and enroll in a class, they all have classes of three months or half a year, go enroll in a class, and learn."
Zhou Jingyi obviously didn't expect Li Qian to say such earnest words.
However, Li Qian didn't finish his sentence, he paused, and then said seriously: "Your performance is full of aura, and your understanding of characters and lines is also very characteristic. I don't think it needs to be changed. But I think the reason why the academic school is the academic school is because the method it teaches you is the most neutral and safest way. Your performance style is too radical, so I think that if you can go to the academy Go and listen to the lessons of those teachers. You don’t need to follow the instructions. You just need to get in touch with the performance system. There should be a lot of inspiration and guidance for your future performances, which will make your performances more rounded. "
Zhou Jingyi had already forgotten to eat ice cream. Hearing this, she nodded slowly, took a deep look at Li Qian, nodded again, and after a while, suddenly said: "Thank you!"
…………
It wasn't until they finished eating and walked out of Haagen-Dazs that the dissatisfaction on Jiang Yiyi's face suddenly burst out, "This woman is really annoying, and no one asked her to sit there by herself!"
After a pause, he said again: "Uncle Shi, why did you tell her that? She might not appreciate it, maybe she still hates you for not choosing her to play a role! Your efforts are not thankful!"
Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, and subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Yiyi's head, "You're the only one with a lot of eyes, how can you see such things!"
Jiang Yiyi was very annoyed, shook Li Qian's hand away, and protested seriously, "Uncle Shi, she made it clear that she wanted to seduce you! Maybe she is still looking for someone to follow you, or how could it be so coincidental, she also likes to eat Ice cream?"
Li Qian laughed, ignored her, and just said: "Uncle Master just accompanied you to eat ice cream, next, why don't you accompany Uncle Master to eat something to fill your stomach?"
After all, he couldn't help but pull her away.
After a short walk, she was alive and kicking again.
Accompanying Li Qian to eat, even if it's just a bowl of mutton braised noodles in a small shop, she would be happy too!
…………
Two days later, Guo Ziming came again.
This time, he came up with several action designs at once!
There are simple two-person battles, and one person faces the siege of many people, and even a preliminary design of a street melee style of play. In Li Qian's office, he excitedly gesticulated and showed Li Qian his latest battle moves one by one.
If you are an academic like Li Qian, if you do this kind of thing, you will definitely consider drawing pictures to fix your thoughts through drawings. I remember that it was not messy at all, and every set of action designs was clearly shown to Li Qian, and he didn't even need to recall it at all-it's amazing!
And the most important thing is, except for the street melee design, which is a little rough, the other sets of his action designs are completely usable in Li Qian's opinion!
This person is quite talented in action design!
"Good guy, Ziming, you're amazing!"
According to Guo Ziming's design, the two disassembled two sets of movements in such a small place as the office. Li Qian couldn't help but praised Guo Ziming with emotion.
Guo Ziming was excited, but also a little embarrassed, "I watched the video that day, and I seemed to understand what you meant immediately. When I went back these two days, I thought about it day and night, day and night. Row!"
Li Qian was almost as excited as him, and he gave a few words of encouragement and praise, and then thought for a while, picked out a few moves from the set of movements he designed just now, savored them for a while, and then said: "That's it, according to my idea , this master Huang Feihong's kung fu should be mainly based on Hong Quan and Iron Line Fist, and at the same time, he also has some kung fu like tiger and crane double shape. Therefore, since you have understood my needs now, then design For some actions, we must consider the practicality of the next shooting, and we must take this into consideration!"
Guo Ziming nodded when he heard the words, "Hong Quan, Iron Line Fist, Tiger and Crane Double Shape, I understand! After I go back, I will find a few experts in this field to ask for advice."
Li Qian smiled and nodded, becoming more and more satisfied with him the more he watched.
After thinking about it, and looking it over from head to toe, Li Qian suddenly had an idea and asked, "Ziming, have you ever studied acting? Are you interested in playing a role in this movie?"
Guo Ziming was taken aback when he heard the words, "Me? Playing a role? I'm not..." He suddenly realized in the middle of the sentence. Since Li Qian said so, it meant that he didn't want him to simply do an action design, martial arts guidance and participate in the It's just an extra in the play, but I want to give him a formal role!
To be an actor!
"I... I, I... can I do it?"
At this moment, even though he had been in the film and television industry for ten years, he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous and looking forward to it, and he started to stutter a little.
Li Qian smiled, thought for a while, and said, "To be honest, I haven't seen you act, so I don't know if you are suitable to be an actor, but you can give it a try? Do you want this opportunity?"
Of course Guo Ziming wanted it very much!
Although they are all practitioners in the film and television industry, it is said that there is no difference between superiority and inferiority. The shooting of a movie or TV series, the composition of a crew, the scale is huge, and all departments are indispensable, but you have to admit Yes, as the person standing at the front stage, as the person who finally presents the work results of the entire crew, the actor is really famous and profitable. The work is a little popular, and it is really beautiful. Compared with other staff members , It is too unknown!
Guo Ziming is just a small martial arts actor. He designs some martial arts moves with his master in the crew. When filming, he often has to change into costumes to play some small fighting characters that pass by in a second.
To be honest, maybe compared to other jobs in this year, earning hundreds of thousands a year is considered a high income, but compared to the glory of the stars, they are still undeniably bitter haha.
If there is a chance to go from the background to the front, almost no one can resist this temptation!
Guo Ziming seems to be in his twenties and less than thirty years old, and his looks are not outstanding, but martial arts actors do not have high requirements for appearance, not to mention that he is still a relatively good and thoughtful martial arts instructor. Now he must be the Wuzhi who understands his own thoughts and requirements best in the country, and he is quite thoughtful in dealing with people, and Li Qian appreciates all aspects of it, so he naturally wants to promote him.
Moreover, "Huang Feihong" needs a lot of martial arts actors. If Guo Ziming's acting skills are good, then he will give a slightly heavier role. , it must be different from the tricks he used to run in other crews.
What's more, in Li Qian's plan, as long as the box office of the first film is good, there will definitely be a sequel. It’s just fine-tuning and adjustments—this is one of the reasons why Li Qian was hesitant at the beginning whether he wanted to play Huang Feihong in person, because once he played the first part, he would definitely be in the second part. For Li Qian, it was too time-consuming. It took three to five months to shoot "Once Upon a Time" every year!
And even if you exclude the other martial arts dramas that Minghu Culture may have in the future, just the next two "Huang Feihong" sequels, Guo Ziming must be the best martial arts show!
It's just that, in Li Qian's opinion, it should have been a hit-and-miss matter, after a touch of excitement and joy flashed across Guo Ziming's face, he soon hesitated, with a tangled look of hesitating to speak.
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's the matter? Don't you want to? Or do you have other questions?"
Guo Ziming said helplessly after hearing the words: "Of course I am willing, but... I am with my master's team. Even if I come to pick up your job this time, the list must be signed by my master. I...I can't... "
Before he finished speaking, Li Qian understood everything.
In the domestic film and television industry, it is said that it is formal and it is formal, and it is said that grass is grass. The domestic formal education in film and television has long been formed, even ahead of Hollywood. After decades of development, the top domestic A group of directors, screenwriters, actors, photographers, editors, etc., are mostly labeled as academics, and they are all professional. However, among the relatively small behind-the-scenes staff such as props and martial arts, But until now, it still retains the old tradition of handing down from father to son and master to apprentice.
The reason is that these small types of work, such as martial arts, props, etc., are difficult to set up schools and classes for training, because it is actually a variant of traditional handicrafts.
For example props, you really want to open a props department at Suncheon Film Academy, what do you teach? When a student is admitted, you teach him how to make props by hand? No wonder someone would apply for the exam!
Another example is to do martial arts. To be a martial artist, one must first have a little kung fu, which cannot be given by three or four years of school education. The first film and television martial arts in China is not even an industry or a type of work. It is just that the director needs to make a film. He temporarily invites some people who have practiced martial arts to help make up a series of moves and guide them on the spot. After the filming is over, there is no pay. It was just a red envelope. Until later, the film and television industry became more and more developed, and the martial arts teams in China gradually grew up.
Therefore, the reason for today's situation is due to cause and effect, and Li Qian is unable to change it. Even in the long-term foreseeable future, it is still impossible for this way to be brought into the classroom and formally cultivated.
Of course, as far as Guo Ziming is concerned, this matter is too simple.
Li Qian smiled and said at the time: "Zi Ming, you are thinking too much! The martial finger I want is you. As for whether to sign the contract with your master or with you, this is a matter between your master and apprentice. Don't meddle, you decide for yourself, but what we are talking about now is your work as an actor, not your establishment of a new martial arts team!"
Guo Ziming was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized.
"Is that so...uh, so, then I can..."
Li Qian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "However, don't worry. I know you respect your master very much. If you think it is necessary to discuss with him, there is no need to have conflicts. After you have discussed it with him, you are willing to act." , come back to me again, in fact, if your master disagrees, you can only do martial arts!"
…………
After sending away Guo Ziming, who looked thoughtful and scratching his heart, Li Qian went back to sit down, thinking of his master Zhao Yideng, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
In fact, Lao Zhao is quite a good person. During the cooperation period, it can be seen that he is also a diligent and down-to-earth person, but in the circle of Wuzhi... the more traditional the inheritance, the more strict the rules, because there are no strict rules. , in today's situation, people's hearts will soon be scattered, and the master will not be able to lead the apprentice!
And without a large number of disciples to instruct, how could the masters earn so much money?
It's just that I don't have the idea of breaking all this. At most, I just appreciate Guo Ziming a little bit. As for the result, it depends on whether he can handle the relationship properly.
Moreover, regardless of whether he can win the right to independently sign an actor contract from Zhao Yideng, he has to start thinking about the audition for "Huang Feihong".
Especially the role of Huang Feihong must be carefully selected!
Because he will become the main card of Minghu Culture's "Huang Feihong" series, and will become one of Minghu Culture's key players in the film and television industry in the next few years. It is even possible that he will become the top superstar representing the Chinese Kung Fu series. ! And Li Qian will strive to make him an international superstar!
