Chapter 152 Invitation to Perform!

Naturally, it is impossible for all of Lin Qiu's works to make the audience burst into tears.

But when it's time to cry, you still have to cry.

There were so many depressing entertainment works in the previous life, wouldn't it be a pity not to bring them out?

After three waves of large-scale defense-breaking value sweeps of "The Lotus Lantern", "Hachiko" and "Anohana", Lin Qiu's defense-breaking value reached more than 400 million!

"First, click on the two most critical skills."

Lin Qiu's eyes flickered, and he directly opened the system, and spent 200 million defense-breaking values ​​to upgrade the [Director] and [Writing] skills to S-level!

The seemingly large defense-breaking value was instantly reduced by half.

There is no need to say more about the [Director] skill.

Even if there is a script and the original work, Lin Qiu still needs to direct the play on the spot.

And A-level skills are okay for ordinary actors to direct ordinary plays.

But when directing "Hachiko", Lin Qiu felt a little bit strenuous.

In addition, "The Truman Show" is a world-class art film, and the key points cannot be omitted.

There is also the [Writing] skill.

For a long time, many localized adaptations have required Lin Qiu to do it himself.

Moreover, many of the entertainment works from the previous life that Lin Qiu has transferred need to be modified by Lin Qiu.

For example, "Baolian Lantern".

Lin Qiu modified the connection between the first and second volumes by himself.

For another example, "The Generals of the Yang Family" that Lin Qiu is preparing later, Lin Qiu does not intend to transfer a TV series from the previous life, but uses the story of "The Generals of the Yang Family" as a blueprint.

Standing on the shoulders of predecessors, shoot a work that surpasses all the "Generals of the Yang Family" series in the previous life.

Lin Qiu will complete this script intermittently from now to next year.

So the [Writing] skill is a must.

"Start drawing!"

After exchanging the skills, Lin Qiu directly started to draw [Animation]!

...

One day later.

Yanjing.

Lin Qiu rubbed his hands and waited for the arrival of Teacher Chen Daohua in a restaurant that was not very high-end, but clean and tidy.

Teacher Chen did not like any luxurious and high-end stores, which Lin Qiu knew.

A few minutes later, Chen Daohua, who was exhausted from the journey, brought his grandson to the restaurant. Lin Qiu immediately stood up and said with a smile:

"Teacher Chen!"

Chen Daohua looked at Lin Qiu with a half-smile and said easily:

"You are being so kind to me. You just took me out for dinner."

During this period, Chen Daohua was really in Yanjing, because the three major film awards of Xiazhou this year were about to be announced.

Chen Daohua was the leading actor of the "Hachiko" crew, so he would naturally attend.

The competition for the three major film awards this year is 100% the most intense in history.

Just Lin Qiu's movies, "Dying to Survive" in the Spring Festival and "Hachiko's Story" in the summer are all masterpieces.

There are also outstanding films such as "The Devotion of Suspect X", "Chinatown Detective", and "Four Seasons"...

It is estimated that 95% of the nearly 8 billion box office of "Chinatown Detective" will be runner-ups.

Originally, Jiang Han thought that this year's Best Actor was probably a sure thing.

God knows, "Hachiko" will be sent down from the sky, and he will have to compete with Chen Daohua for the title of Best Actor.

This kind of experience is the first time in life.

"Xiao Qi, call me brother."

"Hello, Brother Lin Qiu!"

"Hello."

Xiao Qi is a boy about seven or eight years old, and he is quite sensible.

Without disturbing Lin Qiu and his grandfather too much, he took his phone and went to the side to concentrate on playing mobile games.

"I heard that "Hachiko" has a good box office overseas."

Chen Daohua said with a smile while taking off his coat.

"Hachiko" was released and received rave reviews!

At Chen Daohua's age, this achievement.

In fact, the so-called box office or the title of actor is no longer very important.

But seeing that "Hachiko" has achieved results in the Jiuzhou film market, seeing that Lin Qiu, a talented young director who represents the "future of Xiazhou", has come to the Jiuzhou film market, gradually realizing the ambition he had said to Chen Daohua before.

Chen Daohua could not hide his joy.

As a participant, he witnessed and experienced all this.

For Chen Daohua, it seems that there are not many regrets.

"Not bad."

"Just passed 1 billion, I wonder if it can pass 2 billion when it's released."

"There are less than ten days left, right?"

"Yes, but now the box office in Jiuzhou is getting higher day by day, there is still a good chance."

"It's not easy, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about? You're not going to ask me to act in a movie again, are you?"

Chen Daohua was so experienced that he saw Lin Qiu's intention at a glance.

Apart from this matter, Chen Daohua really couldn't think of any other reason for Lin Qiu to look for him.

No matter how mature Lin Qiu is, he is still a junior in front of Chen Daohua, "Hehe."

"Teacher Chen, you are really smart, you guessed it right at once."

Chen Daohua smiled bitterly, "You guy, you really want to torture my old bones to death."

"Tsk, don't say that, Teacher Chen, you are still strong and vigorous, a role model for our generation!"

Lin Qiu first gave a thumbs up, and then his expression gradually became serious:

"This movie is a big-budget movie that I really impacted the Jiuzhou film market."

"There happens to be a role in it, and I think it must be you, Teacher Chen."

Before the release of "Hachiko", Lin Qiu was, after all, an unknown new director in the Jiuzhou film market.

The best case scenario is that "Hachiko" is like this now, and the word-of-mouth fermentation in the last two weeks of its release allows the Jiuzhou market to know Lin Qiu, a Xiazhou director.

But to gain a firm foothold, the next movie will be the top priority.

A golden fish cannot stay in a pond.

A talented director like Lin Qiu cannot limit his vision to the area of ​​Xiazhou.

"Love Letter", "The Crucible" and "Dying to Survive" have made Lin Qiu one of the top ten directors in Xiazhou.

"Hachiko" is even in the top three.

I'm afraid he is only second to Director Song Hua and Director Wang An. Who else can suppress him?

Chen Daohua is naturally aware of the importance of this movie.

After thinking for a while, Chen Daohua said to Lin Qiu:

"Did you bring the script?"

"I brought it."

Lin Qiu took out the script of "The Truman Show" from his bag and handed it to Chen Daohua.

Chen Daohua never thought that he was "helping" Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu's movie is a movie that can really go to Kyushu, and it is a work that can be recorded in the history of world cinema.

Chen Daohua must want to act in it in his heart.

The appearance of Lin Qiu can be said to have ignited the fire in Chen Daohua's heart that was almost extinguished due to his age.

The script of the movie is not particularly long, so it is not particularly slow to read.

In addition, the first page has the outline of the entire movie story. The moment Chen Daohua saw the outline, he was struck by lightning and sat up subconsciously.

He flipped through the world of "Truman" with his eyes shining!

At the beginning of the script, it was revealed that this was a "Truman Show"!

"Surprisingly..."

Chen Daohua has been in the industry for so many years and has been an actor for so many years, but there has never been a movie script that made his heart beat faster after just reading a few pages!

】

Truman in the movie is a "reality show actor" in a fake world.

Every move of Truman's life is exposed to the cameras hidden everywhere every minute and every second. This is "The Truman Show".

Since birth, audiences around the world have been paying attention to Truman's every move, but Truman himself is unaware of it.

After thirty years of confusion, Truman finally realized that everything was wrong, so he escaped from this fake world at all costs!

Seeing Teacher Chen Daohua's focused look, Lin Qiu smiled calmly.

In this world, few actors will not be amazed and moved by such a script.

To be honest, Lin Qiu was not worried that Teacher Chen Daohua would refuse.

It's just that other actors, especially the actor of the male lead Truman, are a headache.

In the previous life, the success of "Truman" was closely related to the unparalleled acting skills of the leading actor Jim Carrey.

At least so far, among the actors in the entire Xiazhou, Lin Qiu has not thought of anyone who can play such a role.

This is a role with a comedic color and extremely difficult to interpret.

After reading for more than half an hour, Chen Daohua closed the script of "Truman".

Although some lines in the middle have not been appreciated in detail, Chen Daohua can be sure that if it is filmed according to Lin Qiu's ideas, it will be a world-class masterpiece!

"How much is Changan going to invest?"

Lin Qiu confirmed: "One billion."

"One billion..."

Chen Daohua took a deep breath and nodded.

Just from the amount of money that Changan Film and Television Company is going to invest, we know that Lin Qiu and Changan are serious.

"It is estimated to be 1 billion, but the exact amount is unclear and may not be necessary. The company has sent people to Xizhou to find a location."

Lin Qiu said truthfully.

Xizhou is a vast area with many dialects. Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and other languages ​​are relatively niche, and the people of Jiuzhou basically do not know them.

But in that area, because they are in a language environment, it is not uncommon for people to speak multiple languages.

It is a peaceful and beautiful place with no pressure in life. Chen Daohua's family lives in Xizhou.

"I know."

"I'll take this movie."

Lin Qiu was not surprised at all, and smiled and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your support."

"If I don't take this kind of movie, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"How much talent do you have left, little guy?"

Chen Daohua shook his head, pointed at Lin Qiu and smiled.

The role of Christopher is not easy to interpret, unlike Professor Chen in "Hachiko".

Professor Chen in "Hachiko" can be said to be played by Chen Daohua himself, while Director Chris in "Truman" is completely different from Chen Daohua, and requires Chen Daohua to enter the state of figuring out the role.

According to the next plan of Changan Film and Television Company and Lin Qiu, the next period of time will enter the intense preparation stage.

From actor selection to scene arrangement, there are certain difficulties, so it is difficult to say when it can start filming now.

Strive to start filming at the end of this year.

"Who are you going to find to play the role of Truman?"

Chen Daohua asked Lin Qiu, who is the most core actor in the whole movie.

Even Chen Daohua himself can be said to be a supporting role.

Lin Qiu smiled bitterly and said truthfully:

"I don't have any ideas for the time being. It seems that there is no suitable actor among the actors in Xiazhou."

"So I am going to open the audition."

The rest of the actors are easy to choose, but the role of Truman is too important and is the key to the success of the movie.

The most suitable one should be a comedian.

Because the role of Truman requires comedy elements.

It is quite embarrassing for a serious actor to play a comedy role. History has proved this many times.

There is a skill behind the smile of a comedian.

When a comedian laughs, the audience will laugh along.

Or when the audience does something, they will unconsciously want to laugh. This is the ability of a comedian, just like Brother Teng in his previous life.

Strictly speaking, Master Xing does not belong to this style.

Compared with "comedian", Lin Qiu prefers to define Master Xing as "actor".

Master Xing's unique and funny nonsensical language, exaggerated and anti-traditional character images, and the entire comedy story and other factors have jointly created the unique comedy style of Master Xing's movies, which is different from the ordinary comedy style.

In his previous life, Jim Carrey starred in more than one comedy before starring in "The Truman Show".

Most of his works in his career are also comedies.

At present, there are no comedians in Xiazhou who fit the image of Truman, so it gives Lin Qiu a headache.

"Well..."

"Lin Qiu, I have an actor who can recommend you."

Chen Daohua said to Lin Qiu seriously.

"Oh? Teacher Chen, tell me about it."

"He is a comedian from Xizhou, named Li Jie Michael, one of my good friends."

"When I was reading the script of "Truman" just now, I felt that he is very suitable for the image of Truman in the script. You can let him audition."

Chen Daohua was not trying to be polite, but he really felt that Michael was very suitable for the role of Truman.

Moreover, the director decides the actors, so it is impossible for Chen Daohua to insert an actor with just one sentence.

In the film industry, challenging a role that is completely inconsistent with one's image is certainly worthy of respect.

But as a director, the first choice is always an actor who matches the character's tone, because the acting and the natural acting will have two completely different effects on the big screen.

The reason why some actors make the audience feel that they are "overdoing it" is because it is difficult for the actors to play the role themselves, and the actors must "act".

Once the acting is overdone, it will naturally be noticed by the audience.

"Okay! Teacher Chen!"

Lin Qiu nodded.

It must be not that simple for Chen Daohua to recommend this comedian.

Whether to choose this actor or not depends on the final audition results.

"Xiaoqi, it's time to eat!"

We have talked about everything that needs to be talked about, and the time is long enough.

When it was time for dinner, Chen Daohua asked his little grandson to put down his phone and started eating with Lin Qiu.

This time, they talked about family matters at the dinner table.

"Lin Qiu, are there any signs between you and that Tang An Ning?"

"Last time, the girl came to visit the studio specially."

Chen Daohua asked Lin Qiu with a smile, and Lin Qiu chuckled:

"Teacher Chen, why are you so gossipy?"

Chen Daohua laughed happily, and it was always pleasant to talk with Lin Qiu:

"Hahahaha——"

"I'm an experienced person, how can I not know the twists and turns of you young people?"

"You kid, you are just too focused on your work."

"Sometimes, when you are resting, you should look more at the world around you, and don't miss the people around you."

Chen Daohua said earnestly, which made Lin Qiu gradually think about it.

...
