Chapter 202 197 Highlighting a Youth

Chapter 198: Highlighting a Youthful Person

"Can you please help me and invite Michael Jackson to sing a song at the Spring Festival Gala?"

Eric was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Ou's request.

This idea has never occurred to him.

Although I never participated in the Spring Festival Gala in my previous life, it is a must-see.

Even though the censorship became more and more strict later, language programs were scattered all over the place, except making dumplings, making dumplings, and the screen was full of preaching.

However, language programs are good, and music and dance programs are generally good, and international big names such as Sophie Marceau and Celine Dion have also appeared.

But that was ten years later. It's only 2003, and I don't remember any real international superstars attending the Spring Festival Gala.

Ordinary foreigners are not counted. For example, people like Dashan and Carlo who have lived in China for many years, speak thief in Chinese, and can go on stage to talk cross talk are already considered half-Chinese.

"Are you trying to set a precedent for Maikou? The starting point is a bit too high." Eric thought to himself.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Ou added: "Eric, I also know that Michael Jackson is too famous, so it may be difficult to invite him."

"But it's not like China has never seen international singers before. In the past few months, the Irish National Dance Troupe performed "Riverdance" at the Great Hall of the People for eight consecutive performances, and the venues were full."

"In 2001, Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras, the world's three greatest tenors, held a concert together in the Forbidden City."

"Further back, Yanni has also come to the Forbidden City to hold concerts, and there are many rock bands. In fact, the music atmosphere in China is still very strong, and there are many Jackson fans."

"Of course, it doesn't have to be Jackson, other celebrities can do it, even non-singers and movie stars."

"You are a big boss in Hollywood. As long as you say a word, it is not a matter of minutes to invite an actor. If you don't perform a show, you just want to say New Year and say a few auspicious words."

"Nicolas Cage is very good. He is very famous in China and has a wide audience among young and middle-aged people. It would be even better if it were Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and Schwarzenegger."

He was just reminiscing about the past. He didn't expect Chen Ou to say so much about Baraba, so he hurriedly blocked his mouth.

"Director Chen, since you have made a request, I will definitely help you do it no matter how difficult it is. Friends are meant to help each other."

"Besides, there are 1.3 billion people in China. What a huge market it is. I think McQueen also hopes that more people will hear his music. There is no artist who doesn't want to be recognized by more people."

"Anyway, don't worry. I will talk to Maikou when I get back. Just wait for my good news."

Chen Ou suddenly smiled. Both of them drank a lot of wine. He held Eric's arm and shook it vigorously.

"This is a good saying. Friends are meant to help each other, so we are willing to do business and deal with good friends like you."

"Old Han, I do have something else to do. I have a task for you. You must entertain Eric well. If he is not satisfied, I will ask you!"

Han Sanping smelled of alcohol and his face was flushed. He had drank the most just now, at least a pound, maybe almost a pound and a half.

Old Han patted his chest hard with blurry eyes: "Don't worry, Director Chen, I will definitely overfulfill the work you asked me to do. Even if you don't tell me, I will still overfulfill it. I still owe my brother a favor."

Chen Ou nodded: "Then you continue to play. Next time I have a chance, I will be the host."

Watching Chen Ou get into the car and leave, Zhou Xiaopeng thought thoughtfully: "It's an interesting move to invite foreign stars to the Spring Festival Gala."

"From the 1990s to now, the popularity of pirated audio tapes has made many foreign stars extremely famous in China."

"Even though they have never been here once, in the minds of many people, their status is not inferior to that of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan."

"Eric, do you know the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Eric thought to himself, of course I know. Teacher Zhao Lirong said that the first king is King Tota Li.

"Stop the Four Heavenly Kings, get in the car quickly, let's go to the next show."

Late at night, when Gadot returned to the hotel, she was already asleep. Eric walked in quietly, just in time not to wake her up.

If he wakes her up, she will inevitably be entangled with him. With Gadot's special physique, she won't be able to come for the first time in more than half an hour.

He had just been taken to a private club by Lao Han and experienced a luxurious experience.

You can choose from all ages, and you can find whatever you want from all walks of life, from teenagers to decades, there is no upper limit.

Some people have special tastes. Otherwise, why would there be learning materials on the fifty-sixty-year-old road or the sixty-year-old road in my childhood?

Students from several major universities, elite lawyers from various firms, white-collar workers working in large companies, bank employees, hospital doctors and nurses, flight attendants and flight attendants, teachers who teach and educate people

Regardless of whether it's true or not, at least you look professional enough in business attire.

There are also various ways to play, including regular, special, and extreme. There are many people who like letter circles, both active and passive.

It’s okay to play the role of a celebrity. It’s difficult for most people, but it’s not a problem for Lao Han.

Big stars who value privacy will definitely not come to such a club. Third- and fourth-tier small stars are casual, and there are many people who are rushing to curry favor with the top.

As for whether it will be exposed and cause bad public opinion.

Just kidding? Don’t want to take care of your job?

After struggling for several hours, Eric felt a little tired even though he was young and strong, so he lay down on the bed and took an early rest.

Beijing Film University, a film exchange meeting was held here today, organized by CCTV6, Eric, Zhang Yimou, Lou Ye attended, and one representative of the fifth and sixth generation directors attended.

Although CCTV6 has the CCTV logo, it is actually not under the control of CCTV. It is a channel directly under the Optoelectronics Bureau, which is even more difficult to deal with than CCTV.

Gadot went to participate in an interview with Sina.com, and then she will participate in a program on Phoenix TV.

Today's host is Tu Jingwei, who just joined CCTV6 this year and is currently the host of "China Film Report".

Looking at Tu Jingwei, who has a green face and is dressed a little rustic, and then thinking about her in the future, it is like the best display of the development of the times in a person.

The program is still in the form of an interview. When soliciting opinions, Eric refused to hold it in the auditorium.

We are just promoting a movie, not making a report or a premiere. Why make it so serious? The more relaxed the atmosphere, the better.

In the end, the scene was a group of college students who liked movies gathered together. The four of them sat in the middle, quite close to each other, as if they were chatting together.

In fact, if the weather was not too cold, it would be better to move it to the outdoor lawn or pavilion.

Eric looked around and found many familiar faces. Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Jiang Yiyan, Huang Shengyi, Jia Nailiang and others were all sitting around.

These people's faces were written with two words - immature!

There was also a very eye-catching person in the crowd, Qingdao lady and high emotional intelligence Mr. Huang Bo, his face was really out of tune with the surroundings.

It was almost time, Tu Jingwei was ready to start, and saw another girl running over from a distance, hurriedly joining the crowd.

Seeing Liu Yifei, Eric was a little surprised. At this time, she should be in the United States filming the evil force, why did she run back?

Liu Yifei calmed her heaving chest and smiled at him.

Next to her, several female students who didn't know the truth immediately cursed her in their hearts for seducing the young foreign director as soon as she came.

How old are you? You have no figure, and your upper body is as flat as an airport.

It's just that you are lucky to have someone to support you, and the drama you performed became popular. If we also have sponsors, we will definitely be better than you!

At the beginning of the event, Tu Jingwei gave an opening speech, and then led the topic to Transformers.

"Director Cooper, although I am not studying directing, I have always had a question in my heart. How did you shoot such a special effects blockbuster in one year?"

"The time is too short. According to my understanding, it is normal to shoot a blockbuster in two years."

Many students in the directing department immediately turned their attention to Eric. The other party is younger than them, but he has achieved terrible achievements. It's really like a fairy tale if the facts are in front of them.

Eric laughed: "I think it's mainly because there are too many people. If you don't count the extras, MGM has more than 500 professionals."

"Normally, three groups shoot at the same time. I lead one, the assistant director leads one, and the assistant director leads one to shoot on location."

"Can the assistant director lead a team?" Tu Jingwei was a little surprised.

"Of course, I can, provided that I have prepared a detailed storyboard script, which requires that it must be filmed this way. I heard that Director Zhang also likes to use this method."

Zhang Yimou picked up the microphone: "I will also draw a more detailed storyboard, but it is okay to shoot in groups, and I will definitely keep controlling the scenes."

"To be honest, I don't have the courage to let go of others like Director Cooper. If the things shot are not suitable, they have to be reshot, which is a waste of time."

Lou Ye smiled: "I am even worse. Not to mention a crew of 500 people, 50 people are not a small number. It is actually difficult to control more people."

"So I think the key is that Director Cooper is also a producer and the boss of MGM. No one dares to disobey his orders, and the crew can operate efficiently."

"Director Zhang and I can't do it. We are not big bosses!"

Hahahaha

Tu Jingwei and the students around him laughed immediately.

"What Director Lou Ye said makes sense. This is indeed my advantage. It is different from the director-centered system in China. The producer-centered system in Hollywood is different."

"Are the two systems very different?" Tu Jingwei asked.

"It is indeed very big, especially in commercial films, where the producer-centered system is better than the director-centered system, but for art films, the director-centered system often produces better results."

"I remember that Lou Ye's "Purple Butterfly" was shortlisted for the Palme d'Or in Cannes this year. He must have experienced this."

Lou Ye nodded slightly: "In fact, the position of producer, to put it bluntly, is responsible for selecting scripts, finding money, forming a team, and selling films, and is responsible for everything from the beginning to the end of film creation."

"The development of our domestic film market is not mature enough, and there is no such position at present because the demand for professional knowledge is too high."

"We have an alternative position called producer, but to be honest, the producer often becomes the producer of the director." Lou Ye smiled self-deprecatingly at this point.

Zhang Yimou felt even more deeply about this: "Now, looking at universities across the country, there is no university that offers a production major. The requirements are indeed too high."

"Personally, I am definitely more adapted to the director-centered system. After all, I came from the era of large studios."

"But for the development of the entire film industry, the producer-centered system is actually the better solution. Only when there are more commercial films can the plate be expanded."

“A bigger market can attract more practitioners, thus giving art films more ground for survival.”

The three of them followed Tu Jingwei's topics and talked about movies, the market, and creation. The collision of views deeply broadened the horizons of the students present.

Only then did some people realize that the content in books and classes was too shallow and rigid after all, and it was more practical and interesting to listen to what these great directors said.

Soon after more than half an hour passed, Tu Jingwei signaled that the students present could ask questions, and many people immediately raised their hands.

Several teachers couldn't help but rolled their eyes. I don't see you being so active in class.

But that's right, the entertainment industry must know how to fight for it. If a question is remembered by the director, the opportunity will come.

Eric pointed at Huang Bo: "You can ask, but classmate, are you really a student here? Why do you look like a fake."

Ha ha ha ha

Huang Bo is also cheerful. Anyway, he is often teased, and the atmosphere of the show is very harmonious. This is obviously a little joke.

He suddenly changed the question temporarily: "Director Cooper, do you think there is hope for me to appear on the big screen in the future? Play a leading role?"

Luo Jin, Jia Nailiang, Jiang Yiyan and others were immediately speechless, thinking to themselves, just because of your appearance, can you still be on the big screen? Toad wants to eat!

Eric naturally knew Huang Bo's future achievements: "Classmate, what is your name?"

"Huang Bo."

"OK, then let me ask you, why do you think you won't appear on the big screen?"

"Because I wasn't good-looking, I took the exam for several years and finally chose broadcasting. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get into Beijing Film Academy."

Eric shook his finger: "Don't think so. Appearance is not the entire criterion for measuring an actor. Although it was only for a short time, I saw something different from you."

"what?"

Tu Jingwei asked curiously, but she saw nothing but ugliness.

"As an optimistic, confident, and brave person, you can smile when you face ridicule and ridicule. This is a great advantage."

"And you have not given up after taking the exam for several years, which shows that you have ideals and are an optimistic, confident and ideal person. You have surpassed many people."

"Movies need handsome guys and beautiful girls, but not everyone needs to be handsome guys and beautiful girls."

Eric's words made Huang Bo feel like there was heat in his body rushing into his eyes, giving him a sour feeling.

"Thank you, thank you director."

"Well, remember one thing, beautiful skins are all the same, but interesting souls are unique."

"Well said!" Lou Ye applauded immediately.

"Classmate Huang Bo, if you want to open up the situation, I suggest you try comedy. Do you know Eastern MGM?"

"I know!" Huang Bo nodded.

"Recently, MGM Eastern is planning to open a movie. I think you are suitable for one of the roles. Do you want to try it?"

Damn it! ! ! ! ! ! !
