Chapter 982 Stars Gathered
In any movie, no matter how big a director and behind-the-scenes team you have, in the eyes of the audience, there is only one thing you pay attention to, that is, the cast.↗,
To put it bluntly, the audience who said that they only watch movies to see stories and art are 99% of them pretend to be big-tailed wolf, and only one or two of them are just mouth-to-heart.
The cast is the first impression. If you have a movie that is familiar with big stars, you don’t need to have any information. As long as you post the names of the stars, you will naturally have a lot of attention. Even if your movie is bad to a certain extent in the end, as long as you have enough stars, you will still have a good box office.
In Yang Yichen's memory, the "Macau Storm" series made by Chow Yun-fat and others is one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one. When you reach the third part, you will find that it is a hodgepodge. The story plot is so bad, dialogue, performance, the whole picture is so bad, and whinelessly, making Chow Yun-fat, Liu Dehua, Nick Cheung, and Zhang Xueyou into nonsense actors without any funny atmosphere. It can be said that except for the celebrity face, this is a movie. A movie that has no value and is extremely garbage. You have to say that there are many stars in Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s, and there are also many purely lively comedy. At least there are also funny things in it, which can make the audience smile knowingly. But in this third film, the Macau Storm, Chun Ge, Andy Lau, and Nick Cheung, you will laugh? Will you laugh when you have two robots in love? Chow Yun-fat’s face is full of pleats, and he is also making some exaggerated expressions and actions. Do you think it’s funny?
In short, when Yang Yichen saw that film, he was full of sorrow. It was true that the stars brought laughter to the audience during the New Year, but this was not the reason for you to make bad movies together. To be honest, the box office was really for the stars. Some of them liked the gambling films in Hong Kong. As a result, in order to pass the review, the process has also become a funny part rather than the pleasure and pleasure of the gambling God.
With the prosperity of the film market a few years later, so many viewers still bought into the celebrity market. At this moment, when Chinese movies are rising, a movie with so many stars has become a hot topic in everyone's mouth.
Yang Yichen's private plane landed at Yanjing Airport. Although he knew that there would definitely be other channels leaving, many media and fans arrived at the scene, and he looked forward to an interview opportunity.
Journalists sent by the imperial station, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, TVB, and three media outlets left the airport hall with their heads raised their heads and chests held high. They got a very valuable opportunity, which was to interview celebrity artists flying from America today in the high-end tourist bus to confirm that Yang Yichen, who was rumored on the Internet, wanted to create a platter movie with big names at home and abroad.
The first thing that caught my eye was an old man. The familiarity of Chinese audiences with him was at the 79th Academy Awards. As Yang Yichen's opponent, the other party was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "The Little Sunshine Beauty". It is a pity that many people failed to win the award. It is completely different from Yang Yichen's Oscar sweep in this award a year later.
Alan Akin, a veteran Hollywood actor. He will play a role in this drama.
The expected Bell and Matthew McConaughey are both here, and Ashley Greene, the actor who became famous in the Twilight movie, also came. Finally, she is an actress who can be called a big star. Although she does not have the Oscar winner and does not have that super aura, she already has the temperament that can be seen by the stars at a glance.
Not pretty, but when you look at it, you will be attracted by her. You feel that this woman has a very elegant temperament, and she is even more charming when she smiles. She covers her unremarkable appearance and makes people feel that she is a big beauty.
"oh!"
Surprised that there was no news before that she was going to come to China to shoot this film. Is it just a coincidence that she was just a ride-hailing ride? No, she has never been to China and will not have any work here, so she...
She is also here to participate in Yang Yichen's new film!
Cate Blanchett.
A powerful actress who is loved by many Hollywood directors. The winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. If Yang Yichen knew that the media evaluated him like this, he would definitely tell them with a smile that you still underestimated this person. He is the future Oscar winner and a truly super powerful actress.
In addition to Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei, Gong Li, this lineup, it must be said that this time is a real gathering of stars. With Liu Dehua and Yang Yichen's personal relationships, it is conceivable that many stars will be lined up in the back. Even as soon as the movie was reported, some people hope that Yang Yichen will shoot this movie in China, and our own actors can also make a good movie impact the world.
People who really understand think that the people who say these words are not really for the good of the Chinese film market. Are you crazy? If conditions permit, will the Brothers Group not shoot in China? Look at the Hollywood actors they invite, are they really only famous? They are all the kind of people who are more powerful than fame, in order to make this drama truly produce the effect they deserve.
A reporter from the three major media conducted a brief interview with several people. Yang Yichen has never been a person who treats his friends badly. No matter what the price of the film Ang Lee talks about, since you have chosen to come, even if I, Yang Yichen, is my friend, it must be a good wine and food for entertaining. Except for the old man Alan Ajin, who is not very good at commercial value, Yang Yichen has arranged about two commercial activities for everyone, either endorsement, commercial performance or guest at the brand release. In short, they will make another money and get enough publicity in China. After all, they come to China and hope to be loved by the audience in the most populous country in the world.
But before that, Yang Yichen had already set off a real stand in the company and was waiting for everyone to arrive. It was a completely different model. The script was released, but the details of each character and even the direction of the entire script, the plot required everyone to sit together, through dialogue and communication, to generate a resonance with the film and a deep understanding of the characters, and finally confirm the content of the entire film.
To give the simplest example, in a certain plot, the actors who sit together to discuss the plot, will be included in the role when they sit together to discuss the plot. No matter how talented Ye Chaoda understands Yang Yichen, how good he is in writing scripts, and how good he explores the deep emotions of the characters, after all, he is not an actor, and he does not have the actors' deep understanding of the role. Everyone sits together, including other actors, and watch this short plot together. It means that when there is no filming, everyone will do it n times, constantly adjust themselves, and constantly make themselves integrate.
When they get involved in the role, they are all professional film practitioners. They spend a lot of time together to analyze the plot and integrate the role. Compared with those professional actors in Hollywood who spend half a year or even a year shooting a movie, it is even better. After all, they play supporting roles, and everyone's combined roles are not as many as Yang Yichen, and they also spend so much time and energy to integrate into the role. The result must be that the roles they play are very strong, so strong that they will force Yang Yichen to become stronger, otherwise, the film will be ruined.
This is equivalent to him being killed and living without leaving any room for himself. He has selected so many good actors and matched with some old actors who are not well-known but have participated in many movies in Hollywood. A group of people put pressure on Yang Yichen. If his role cannot be released, the drama will be destined to be destroyed. His current state is to tell everyone clearly that before the filming starts, my role will come out. Otherwise, I would rather lose all my investment in the early stage and waste all my pay for you, and I would not start the crew and start filming.
Productions from brothers must be excellent.
Produced by Chenzai, it must be a fine product.
Early the next morning, when last night's entertainment news reported the authenticity of the previous rumors, more people began to pay attention to Brothers' big deal this time. The media lounge next to Brothers' gate was full again today because they knew that Yang Yichen had already set up a so-called ring in the company, which was to let all the actors get together and integrate each character's dialogue plot before filming.
If you are stuck here, you will definitely see the arrival of all the big names.
Starting at 7:30, people came one after another. Gong Li, Liang Chaowei, Chow Runfa, Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, Hollywood stars, and no one allowed him to arrive at the company for more than 8 o'clock. Including Yang Yichen and Ang Lee, there are also many talented artists under the brother group who are currently free in the current period or artists with extraordinary relationships with Yang Yichen, all of them have come over. Even if they are just watching, it is a rare opportunity for them.
Anyone who is familiar with Yang Yichen knows that like many people, he prefers the Hollywood model. Indeed, that model is more reasonable, especially in the aspect of actors. As an actor, you will give you a pay of more than 10 million or 20 million. What you need is to prepare for a movie for half a year or even a year, rather than simply as long as your face appears in the film, such a high pay is enough to ensure the material needs of your big star. At this level, if you lack money to do some commercial activities during the filming, first of all, this industry will despise you, film companies, directors, and audiences’ impression of you will change. The key is that for so many years, everyone has been accustomed to it. Otherwise, why should you give such a high pay? As a first-line celebrity, Brad Pitt came out for a few times, and quickly returned to the ranks of big-name actors with status, and no longer easily came out to shoot advertisements and participate in commercial activities.
All Chinese filmmakers know that Yang Yichen did not copy the Hollywood model, because the super high pay is indeed not acceptable to the Chinese film industry, but he has never given up and has been trying to find a new path. Now, is this his practice?
