Chapter 391 Finale
In just over ten days, all the campus scenes of Cheng Dongqing, the three protagonists, ended. As Director Chen said, the shooting progress of "Partners" will be very fast, and it was not even a good example for Gan Tao.
In Gan Tao's mind, the work of "Partners" is pretty good, not to be considered a humiliating him, the new Cannes actor. As long as he can perform a little in it, the audience will further recognize him. Unfortunately, Chen Kexin filmed too quickly and did not give him time to perform at all.
In Chen Kexin's words, although "Partners" is not a bad movie to make money, the main feature is nostalgia, first love, and brotherhood. It does not require the superb acting skills to express the humanistic feelings in this film.
After Chen Kexin's explanation, Deng Chao, David and others nodded in agreement. Although Gan Tao was not old and had just entered his thirties, he was indeed talented in his performance and was the new Cannes actor, so they often felt uncomfortable when they were acting.
No actor likes the side of his being exposed on the screen, let alone the most popular actors such as Deng and Tong.
As for actress Du Juan?
People are thinking about the modeling circle. Film actors are just working on tickets, and they cannot say that a passionate scene with Gan Tao will attract more attention and gain more. What does it matter if they are exposed or not?
Gan Tao didn't know what Deng and Tong thought. If he knew, he would probably laugh out loud. He had always envied Mr. Zhou's acting talent. Unexpectedly, some people envy him now.
However, he still listened to Chen Kexin's words. A work cannot be a person's excellence. A good work is to make everyone outstanding. Although he has a strong desire to perform, it is very important for an actor to know how to master the size of his performance.
It is a reflection of the great success of performance that should be strong and strong, and it is necessary to achieve success in performance, and one's own performance is natural and not bound by form, rather than to make a certain type of performance to the extreme.
What Gan Tao has to do now is to take the performance into his heart, turn himself into a role, but not deliberately express himself, and do not use his strong personal performance skills to suppress opponent actors.
"It's done, it's almost done. I'm going to make a switch tomorrow, so I'll take a break early." After a small drink, director Chen Kexin got up first.
"What is the ratings of "runningman"?" Gan Tao asked Deng Chao in the elevator.
Thinking that his big-hun outdoor reality show "runningman" as the captain brought him multiple endorsements, Deng Chao looked full of spring breeze: "It's pretty good, the ratings of last week can basically compete with "The Voice of China"."
Gan Tao was surprised: "That's really good."
Although the two variety shows were all from his tricks, he witnessed the influence of "The Voice" with his own eyes. The online live broadcast of the first final almost caused the Tongxin Video system to collapse. If the boss behind the scenes was not Gan Tao, Mango TV even wanted to remove the live broadcast rights from Tongxin Video.
Its copyright was introduced by many European countries, and Gan Tao also made a small profit. He didn't expect that "runningman" could compete with "The Voice" so soon.
"Variety shows are a very bad actor." Chen Kexin said this for no reason in the elevator, and then stopped talking.
Variety shows destroying actors means that the actor's image is fixed and lacks plasticity, but who has a grudge against money? Moreover, this situation will become more and more serious. Therefore, Gan Tao, who created two popular variety shows, did not care at all. Whether to participate in variety shows is personal freedom, and he did not tie anyone up to go there.
Thinking of the plasticity of actors, Gan Tao couldn't help but curiously say: "How does Director Kexin view the plasticity of actors?"
"This is hard to say. Some actors are naturally plastic, while others are not. Many actors think that they should try to stay away from the public and the spotlight and maintain a sense of mystery, so that their plasticity will be much. Liang Chaowei thinks that way. Look, he is just drinking a coffee, and many people are talking about it. It turns out that Weizai likes cat shit coffee, and the posture of serving coffee is like this or that..."
Deng Chao, who was involved in variety shows, said unwillingly: "Isn't it a mystery to appear under the spotlight by changing the way?"
Facing Deng Chao with a depressed face, David Tong stared at the buttons on the elevator floor, while Du Juan was curious about looking at the small advertisements in the elevator. Only Gan Tao suppressed his smile and pretended to be sad and stingy. He patted Deng Chao: "That's not a mystery, it's a split personality. It's difficult to change personal habits, and the inherent views of the audience are also difficult to change, so you should be blessed."
He was not deliberately ridiculed, but it was funny that Deng Chao's face was sometimes blue and white, and it could change in an instant. As for the actor's mystery, he didn't take it seriously at all. It is true that actors need a sense of mystery, but Liang Chaowei's mystery is purely a personality flaw. This person is famously withdrawn, exactly the same as his childhood friend Zhou Xingxing.
After each went back to their rooms, Gan Tao called his home like a daily task. After hearing that Gan Ping performed well in kindergarten and did not bully other children, he really praised her. Then he whispered to Tong Yaya, who was raising a baby at home.
The life of the crew is fresh and boring. The freshness is because of the difference from reality, and boringness is because filming is always just a job. Fortunately, the actors selected by Chen Kexin are all the best in the younger generation in China. As each other gradually grasps the size, the crew's shooting progress once rose, and all domestic scenes were completed in one month, preparing to transfer to the New York Stock Exchange.
"Hey, Taozi, are you at home or a crew?"
Less than an hour before the crew boarded the plane and set off in New York, Gan Tao received a call from Meng Guangxiao.
"I'm at the airport with the "Partners" crew and I'll go to New York to complete the last part of the scene."
"Don't leave now, I'll arrive soon."
Gan Tao smiled bitterly and could only watch the crew go to New York first, and then hurriedly leave the airport.
In Meng Guangxiao's car, Gan Tao frowned and looked at Meng Guangxiao: "The company went public? Isn't this a cliché? You don't know what I promised Zhang Qiang."
"Today is different from the past. Nowadays, many domestic bosses have been blushing, and Tongxin is even more so, because everyone knows that after Tongxin goes public, the market value will not be a small amount. All employees expect the original shares in their hands to make a big profit, and the senior management is even more so."
Meng Guangxiao refused the teacup handed by his secretary and continued: "And since the company has developed, there are hundreds of senior executives. So many senior executives have become a burden for the wholeheartedness."
Gan Tao was anxious: "No, Brother Meng, have we communicated and we are not going to the market together? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Although Tongxin’s listing is beneficial to all Tongxin’s employees, Gan Tao’s value will definitely skyrocket, but it is not without its disadvantages. At least, if Gan Tao wants to hide his personal value, then don’t think about it. Tongxin’s listing means opening up to everyone and being seen clearly inside.
At that time, what should he do if he is thinking about being an actor?
Thinking of the days after Tongxin went public, Gan Tao was even a little scared.
The starring actor in a crew is a person with a net worth of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of yuan. The staff of this crew are not allowed to greet him 800 times a day, and they are watched by people all year round. The director, photography and other behind the scenes are not all decorations.
Which crew is willing to find an old man for themselves?
When Tongxin went public, it was the end of his acting career. Not only his acting career, he was afraid that even his normal life would be gone. He stayed at home every day and thought about what to eat with Tong Yaya?
Thinking of Tongxin's everything after it went public, Gan Tao couldn't help but have a cold war. Gan Tao's head was like a rattle: "No, no, no, Tongxin cannot go public."
"Taozi, since you are so determined, I think it's time for us to say goodbye." Gan Tao's insistence seemed to have made Meng Guangxiao ten years old in an instant.
"Why?" Gan Tao was puzzled.
"You have been to the company for less than 5 times a year. I probably don't know that the market war between us and Yida has reached a hands-on stage. The company has been very volatile recently. If it is not for the augmentation needle of listing, and the benefits brought by the listing, it will probably be difficult for Tongxin to survive this time."
Gan Tao glanced up at Meng Guangxiao, trying to find a little trick through his turbid eyes, but in the end he found nothing.
"There is no other way except to go public?" Gan Tao asked unwillingly.
Meng Guangxiao took over the tissue brought by his secretary: "This is a problem with the hearts of the senior officials. I really have no choice. No matter when the interests are always greater than emotions."
Gan Tao was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh: "Send the letter to the employee, I will sign it when I come back from New York." After that, Gan Tao suddenly pushed open the car door and got out of the car, looked up at the forty-five degrees of sky and muttered: "Brother Zhang, we have reached the moment of life and death, brothers cannot fulfill your promise."
Nine months later, one day in 2013, Tongxin Film listed A-shares, and three consecutive days, hitting the daily limit three times a day. At the same time, it greatly drove Tongxin Film and Television to hit the daily limit once, and Gan Tao's value soared.
In 2015, ByteCorporate, which was independently acquired by Tongxin Pictures before its listing, was split and listed. After a craze in Hong Kong stocks, Gan Tao's net worth rose again, almost cutting off his performance path.
Gan Tao, who didn't even appear in front of the media, never appeared again. He wanted to learn about the richest actors through Xu Shanzheng's friends indirectly, but the other party kept silent.
night.
The darkness was deep, and the villa in Xishan was quiet, and a loud roar broke the tranquility of the night.
"What's wrong? This is?" Tong Yaya, wearing a precious sleeping suit, asked in a hurry, while reaching out to touch Gan Tao's sweat-stained forehead.
Gan Tao took a sip of cold water: "It's okay, I'm just having a nightmare."
Tong Yaya said funny: "What a nightmare, so scared?"
"I dreamed that I was called Lu Xingyuan in my previous life, and I was the richest man in the world. My current industry and value were less than one-tenth of that in my previous life. Do you think it's scary?" Gan Tao shook his head and said with a funny look.
"It's really scary. We're boring enough now. There are a large group of people everywhere you go. You have so much money in your previous life, so you can't protect the three armies of the navy, army, and air."
