Chapter 546 Asking for a role(1/2)
While Zhang Feng was paying attention to movie reviews, Lao Zhang was actually not idle either. He hid in his small study and browsed the latest reviews from time to time, even more seriously than Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng only pays attention to good reviews. It’s not that he doesn’t pay attention to bad reviews, but he doesn’t particularly care about them.
After all, the movie has just been released, and many negative reviews are not objective at all, and there is also a lot of negative criticism from critics.
Besides, people are in high spirits during happy events recently, and they don’t want to think about those rational negative reviews at all.
But Lao Zhang is different.
The first thing he pays attention to is negative reviews, and they are the kind that go straight to the point and are extremely professional.
With a snap, there was an extra notebook on the table among the people.
You can tell from the creases that a lot of words were written on it.
"This is..." Zhang Feng raised his eyebrows.
Lao Zhang said harshly: "Let's take a look!"
"These are all the bad reviews about the movie Skin Change on the Internet. I have written them down for you. Don't just think that the box office is good and just get confused. You should read more of these bad reviews!"
"If you want to continue to be involved in the film industry, you must be brave enough to accept the opinions of the audience."
Wu Di picked up the notebook, flipped through a few pages at random, and suddenly swallowed: This is too detailed!
How much time did Lao Zhang spend? The angles of these negative reviews are simply diverse and strange. Moreover, the sheer number of them makes people feel that the re-skinned movie that is so popular at the box office is actually a movie with no merit at all.
of.
Totally bad movie!
"What is this!"
"Is my movie that bad? Are you trying to undermine my self-confidence by collecting so many bad reviews?"
In this regard, Lao Zhang is a habitual offender. No wonder Zhang Feng thinks too much.
Many people use this method to educate their children, which is called combat education. For example, from a cold-mouthed person like Lao Zhang, it is difficult for you to hear praise for your daughter from his mouth.
Even if he thinks Zhang Feng has done a good job, he will express it in an awkward tone that makes you feel unhappy even after hearing it.
"Why is this a blow to you? This movie has many shortcomings to begin with. Don't ignore these problems just because it does well at the box office."
"This is very important!" Lao Zhang knocked on the table anxiously.
"When did I ignore it?"
"It's not like I haven't seen what you said. Even if you want to change it, you have to wait until the next work. Why are you anxious?"
"Besides, even if it has some flaws, the fact that the box office is now so high is enough to prove that the audience recognizes this movie!"
"What's more important than the recognition of the audience?"
You say your importance, I say mine, each sings a song without giving in to the other.
When Wu Di saw the situation, he immediately jumped out: "Calm down, everyone, calm down."
"The monster's shape is so disgusting. It's even scarier when it's magnified on the big screen. I almost vomited!"
"The martial arts special effects need to be improved. Also, is this a romance movie? Why is it still claiming to be magical? I've been deceived!"
"The plot is a bit slow, and many places could be edited more compactly. If I were to make this movie, 90 minutes would be enough!"
Wu Di read these messages in his notebook loudly, laughing while reading.
Zhang Feng became anxious and snatched the notebook away.
"Stop reading it!"
"What's going on?"
"What are you in a hurry for?"
"I think many of these records cannot be regarded as negative reviews. They are all quite interesting. They are completely true expressions of feelings from the audience."
"Look at the first one," Wu Di spread out his notebook and pointed at one of them and said, "Monsters are naturally disgusting, not to mention, the monster in our movie is also a lizard spirit. Did you hear that
Are there any good-looking lizard spirits?"
"I haven't seen it anyway."
Zhang Feng also shook his head.
"There are many monsters in Journey to the West. They are either Jade Rabbit Spirits or Fox Spirits. All in all, they are beauties. Those ugly ones are either Bull Demon King or Runbo Ba. Think about it, are any of them good-looking?"
"Fairies also have attributes. Those beautiful fairies, as soon as you hear their names, you will know that they are very good-looking, like lizard spirits. But when you hear their names, you will know that they have very low looks and are disgusting. So, the audience is right to feel disgusted.
, This just shows that our special effects makeup is professional and excellent. I think we can cooperate with this team next time."
"Also, if you look at the short review of this romance film, this is normal. We are originally a romance film. Magic is just the background of the story and an expression of the special effects contained in the story. Then the audience can see that this is essentially a romance film.
It’s a romance film, doesn’t this mean we haven’t strayed from the theme?”
Zhang Feng didn't speak for a long time. Gradually, she realized that she was persuaded by Wu Di.
Although they are all some fallacies, and the ultimate purpose is to break up the fight, it has to be said that Wu Di is definitely professional in twisting the fallacies.
"So, Director Zhang, Mr. Zhang, these things are just for commemoration. Don't get me wrong."
"Mr. Zhang, tell me, right?"
Wu Di grinned widely and said peace with a smile. Even if Lao Zhang had such a bad temper, he couldn't continue to be stubborn.
The father and daughter reluctantly reached an agreement, and Zhang Feng accepted the notebook. In fact, she did not pay attention to these negative reviews. Of course, she also knew that as a first game, skin reskin still has many shortcomings.
However, now is the time when I am happy, so I still feel good. It is not too late to study these negative reviews later.
The embarrassing topic came to an end, Wu Di thought about it, but came up with an even more embarrassing one for them.
"Mr. Zhang, since your new movie is a suspense theme, it must require a lot of actors."
Hearing the hint, Lao Zhang immediately showed an expression of understanding: "Don't worry about this, I've told you a long time ago that there will be a role for you in the new movie. The kind with a good personality, I won't treat you badly."
"No, no, Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to get a role for myself. That's it. I want to give Uncle Jianbing a chance."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Upon hearing this name, Zhang Feng immediately showed a confused look.
"Are you still asking for roles for him?"
"Didn't you say that you two were going to co-produce a TV series?"
"I can't say much about the movie industry, but in the TV drama circle, Jianbing is still very respectable. If he wants to act, he will definitely be the leading actor. How can he still find time to act in his movies?"
Wu Di sighed, if I elaborated on this matter, it would be too long.
Wu Di didn't need to explain clearly the causes and consequences. He just said: "The project was postponed due to various problems, so after the Chinese New Year, Uncle Jianbing will have some time. I think so, if it is convenient for Mr. Zhang, some
It doesn't have a lot of roles, but it's a relatively important role. You can also consider Uncle Pancake."
"After all, Uncle Jianbing's acting skills are guaranteed. Moreover, he is not the kind of person who insists on playing the leading role. He is also familiar with everyone."
Wu Di talked a lot, but Lao Zhang kept looking at him and didn't spit. This was of course because he hadn't gotten to the point yet.
Moreover, judging from Lao Zhang's attitude, he has no special interest in Uncle Jianbing. The two of them have never worked together before. The so-called acquaintance is basically the same as the distance between the audience and the actor.
They are not in the same circle at all.
Everyone is vying for Lao Zhang's scripts, even the most popular ones. Right now, there are already many people actively seeking roles.
To be honest, Lao Zhang never considered giving Jianbing a role.
Wu Di completely understands that Lao Zhang would behave like this.
After all, Zhang Feng, who has a closer relationship, is looking at him with a confused look on his face, feeling that his request is really sudden.
Wu Di was also very persistent.
If you don't talk about this matter, then let it go. Once you open your mouth, you must fight to the end.
"Actually, there is a more important reason."
Lao Zhang nodded and motioned for him to continue. There must be another reason. If you think about it, you will know that even if Wu Di is a generous person, every role in Lao Zhang's movies is very popular. This is also true for him.
clear.
My role hasn't been finalized yet, and I don't see him caring, but he still wants to find opportunities for Jianbing. There must be his own considerations in this.
Wu Di continued: "When I was on the set of Fuzi, Uncle Jianbing took special care of me and taught me a lot of acting experience and skills. Later, after the film was finished, he introduced a new project to me, which is this
A TV series that hasn’t started filming yet.”
"Originally, I was also very interested in this TV series and planned to join the team for an audition. However, I didn't expect that before the promotional activities for the skin change were over, the TV series encountered difficulties, so I had to stop.
Already."
"Uncle Jianbing was very kind to me, so I thought that if I could introduce him to some opportunities, I would be doing something for him."
"Of course, whether there is a chance depends on what you want, Mr. Zhang. If there is no suitable one, then you can't force it." As he said that, he brought the topic back.
In fact, Wu Di doesn't need to go through such roundabout troubles at all. Ms. Lan is a big investor. It can be said that whether Lao Zhang can start work on time depends on Ms. Lan's face.
Looking at Ms. Lan's face, isn't it the same as looking at Wu Di's face?
If a big shot like him wants to insert a character into the script, he also specifies that he doesn't need to be the lead actor, as long as he has a lot of roles. This is already a very reasonable request. You can create a character even if you don't have a character.
