Chapter 85 Behind the Scenes
"It seems that the work pressure is not small this time."
Gu Jianyue's ability to handle affairs has been fully demonstrated in the past three years. There is nothing to worry about. Gu Yunkai does not participate in his contract very much. Other celebrities don't understand and dare not intervene. He is afraid that he understands too much and delays Gu Jianyue. See month play.So probably after talking about what the actors need to know, Gu Yunkai went downstairs to drink tea. There was probably no time for two cups of tea, so he watched Gu Jianyue come downstairs with a satisfied smile. Gu Yun was still in the mood to tease when he opened.
Seeing her happy face, Gu Yunkai knew that this cooperation would definitely be very pleasant, so he stood up gracefully and said, "Tell me about the details."
"We can't escape with all our strength, and I'm not willing to respond if we shouldn't. The shooting time is too urgent this time, so there is no mandatory requirement for firearms. After all, there is no time to give you special training and familiarization. They I was also worried that the effect would not be good, so I deleted this part and replaced it with your more skilled fighting scene, but this time the fighting scene is different from "Holy and Demon Bipolar", and it is not like "Eternal Solitude" "The type of fighting requires realistic but beautiful appearance, so I watched your impromptu performance, and they also have action guidance, but I have confidence in you, do you have confidence?"
Gu Yun laughed and said: "You agreed for me, how could a brother disappoint you, of course he did."
"That's good."
There are also many types of fighting dramas, such as ancient costume martial arts movies (including the classification of Xianxia and Wuxia). In fact, dancers will have an advantage. After all, Xianxia pays attention to special effects and graceful posture, while Wuxia usually pays attention to internal strength. Meat is rare now, and more martial arts designs come and go like butterflies wearing flowers, and then weapons intersect.
"Eternal Solitude" is a style of play that is closer to real life. For example, Garcia twisted a street gangster and beat him dizzy. In fact, it is not so beautiful, but the filming is closer to people's scuffles in real life. Play design, mainly pay attention to reality.
But a play like "League of Agents" belongs to the fact that it looks real. In fact, all aspects are for the sake of being handsome. The whole process is to reflect: "I am so handsome, so handsome, and I am very handsome". It stimulates the audience's hormones and excites him or them, so the moves should be fancy, but they can't run away. After all, no agent can cultivate internal strength.
It's good if there are fewer gun scenes, unless it is necessary for acting, he hardly touches this aspect, and he is required to play this aspect at first, and to play it beautifully and vividly, Gu Yunkai has to eat NG a few times.
"Producer's relationship with Steph seems to be 'OK'."
It's not bad, it's also 'not bad'. The producer seems to be very used to Stephen's temper, and he can't bear him a little bit, but he is very tolerant of the director in terms of approach.
After hearing this, Gu Yunkai felt a little better, so he asked more details: "This time the producer is here with Stephen, what do you think?" Knowing these behind-the-scenes situations is actually the agent's job. In her job, she will handle the allocation of resources behind the scenes. After all, the most important job of an actor is acting. It's just that Gu Yunkai has some "occupational diseases" left over from his previous life. He hopes that he can learn as much information as possible.
"Stephen is an undoubted film master." Gu Jianyue blinked at Gu Yunkai and smiled, "But he can't do anything well alone. He is very famous in the industry, so naturally he needs someone A producer who can let him listen to his opinions. After all, the whole movie can't be done by his own thoughts, so the movie is complete, but it's too lengthy, not to mention the problem of money. "
It seems that after the death accident, the director and the producer had different ideas on the post-editing of the film.
Not only do they exist, but in fact there are many of them, and it can even be said that they are not too common. Directors must have their own thoughts when shooting a movie, so how to coordinate their thoughts with the audience's appreciation level is very difficult. Watch the later clips.After all, the appreciation level of the director and the audience will never be on the same line. If the post-editing editor cuts too long where it is unnecessary, and cuts too short where the audience likes it, it is easy for the audience to lose interest.
Gu Yunkai has seen many examples of this kind of movies that hit the street.
For example, Gu Yunkai wanted to go to the theater to relax, and chose a light-hearted and humorous entertainment blockbuster, only to find that this entertainment blockbuster was fun and light-hearted after entering the screening hall, but the plot progress was slow and the rhythm was lengthy. There are too many necessary plots, and too few handsome fights that I expect to see, so I will inevitably feel disappointed.After all, movie fans just want to watch a fast-paced movie with a tight plot, with wave after wave of climax, cool and explosive special effects, beautiful and gorgeous fights, so that they are in a state of excitement in normal movies; but the movie shows A long, slow and thought-provoking slow pace, it will naturally get a lot of bad reviews.
The reason is simple, the audience doesn't want to know about their delicate changes and life transitions, they just want to see the handsome places.
There is still some difference between telling a story well and how to arrange the rhythm of a story. After all, the same film can be turned into two completely different films with 90-minute and 120-minute editing.
It doesn't mean that the director has to fill in all the shots after taking a lot of shots. The length and rhythm of the movie need to be repeatedly weighed by the people working behind the scenes.
The conflict between the producer and Stephen is probably due to the different opinions on the re-shooting of the role of Reaper. Because of time, some small details must be adapted according to realistic factors. Film masters like Stephen are more or less willful. The biggest role of that kind-faced producer is to let his willfulness stop in the shooting and not let it go in the later stage. As a major director, he can have the right to edit, but it is not absolute.
Actors are only responsible for filming, and have no ability to intervene in this aspect, so in fact, being an actor also requires a certain degree of luck.
Who doesn't want to be popular at the box office, or become a box office poison, but there is no certainty about this matter.
If you are afraid that you will encounter such a situation and give up the opportunity, you will never climb to the top. Because you have gained so much, failure will become more daunting. As long as you take a wrong step, you will encounter a major Waterloo in your life. Because of a battle, Napoleon withdrew from the stage of history, and many celebrities were also forced to withdraw from the circle because of a bad project with a lot of investment.
Like this kind of small conflict, many aspects will also erupt. Although the investment in "League of Secret Agents" is not low, you can't let Stephen waste the money like this. money to play.Therefore, the producer absolutely does not allow Stephen to continue to be picky like this. Now that an accident has occurred, it must be resolved immediately instead of letting it go.
The conflict between the producer and Stephen may not be as exaggerated as those examples mentioned by Gu Yunkai, but the god of death, as an easter egg, must occupy a certain amount of time, and the most likely thought of the producer is that the god of death is dispensable , can be deleted; and Stephen, as a fan of the book, must add this easter egg, after all, this is sentimental, which led to a compromise between the two parties, so it didn't seem so harmonious just now, but obviously the producer is still concerned about Gu Yunkai's current reputation. quite satisfied.
Just looking at the character that Stephen showed just now, the "senior" actor who played the former Grim Reaper, even if he was lucky enough to survive the Generalissimo, he could still return to the film industry, and his future fate in the circle might not be the same great...
However, it was his stupidity that became Gu Yunkai's stepping stone towards success. On this point, Gu Yunkai felt that the more stupid he was, the better. After all, opportunities and resources in this circle are not what laymen would think. So rich, everyone is wearing a gentle and elegant mask to greet and greet, and frantically grabbing opportunities in private.
It has nothing to do with friendly competition. This is the law of the jungle. Everyone who wants to stand out has to step on others.If the friendly face can't be maintained, then there are also people who directly tear each other up.
The same is true of the kind-hearted producer. Everyone in the circle performs their duties. Stephen is already a gold medal director and can withstand failure, but the producer is slightly less famous than him, like " If a super big IP like League of Secretaries fell into his hands, he would probably quit the circle directly, not to mention continuing to produce projects, and it would be considered polite for investors not to be kicked out of this profession.
If there was a problem with the God of Death and Stephen was just furious, then the producer's eyes were probably in the dark, especially since Stephen still insisted on adding this character... Think about it, this is really a psychologically strong producer.
"This time the situation is indeed very urgent. Stephen doesn't like to choose among some special 'popular' actors, and the producers need more reliable people to play Death, especially those who have a clean private life. They don't want to make any more Something went wrong. So I focused on the tape of the original audition, and you just happened to fulfill all their plans."
"I have participated in the audition, and Lancer also recommended me to Stephen, and my private life and recent popularity make the producer feel satisfied." Gu Yunkai repeated, "These three points are what I am doing this time. The biggest advantage in the audition."
Gu Jianyue shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said: "That's right, they have actually interviewed many people, and you are the last one today, if you can't satisfy both of them, then I guess the producer People will force Stephen to compromise and delete this role. After all, it is October, and so much money is no joke."
So Stephen was ashamed of the producer, because Gu Yunkai was already unbeatable, and he could even be said to be the only actor in the audition who could satisfy both of them.
So, in short, under such circumstances, Gu Yunkai's audition is actually unnecessary. Stephen needs a god of death, and the producer needs this matter to end quickly.
And Gu Yunkai's fame and popularity are purely accidental.
Gu Yunkai himself was the lucky one who was involved in this matter. He was not only capable, but also lucky, so he won this opportunity in one fell swoop.
Figured out the joints, although it was just a guess, but Gu Yunkai has been in this circle for a long time, and Lancer also revealed a lot of news about the "League of Secret Agents", I guess I guessed it closely, and I couldn't help it. Zhu shook his head and said with emotion: "In this circle, everything you do will become a stepping stone to your success or failure."
"I don't care if people fail or not, they can do whatever they like, anyway, you are the part of success now."
Gu Jianyue was very optimistic, she held his hand and giggled, she leaned on Gu Yunkai's shoulder and swayed, the brother and sister walked arm in arm for a while, then she suddenly said: "Brother, what are you doing now? It's getting better and better, and it will become more and more busy in the future. It's great, my parents must be very happy. By the way, if you don't count the few bad movies made in Tianyu Company, you The plays I have taken up to now are few bad ones, whether it is really good or not, people, when the luck reaches a certain point, the luck will become better."
In fact, even if you are a great director, you will inevitably shoot a few bad movies in your life, let alone an actor. There are not a few people who take on some thunderous dramas for work and life. Even if you choose a big production, it may be due to bad luck. Jia suffered a big drop at the box office, Gu Yunkai looked back on his journey along the way, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Although those works in Tianyu Company in the early years will become the dark history of Gu Yunkai being "made fun of" later, but there are too few actors in this circle who can honestly say that they have never acted in a bad movie in their entire lives.After all, there are many factors that contribute to a bad movie, the most an actor can say with a clear conscience is that he has not been ashamed of every performance he has performed, but it would be too fake to say that he has not acted in a bad movie.
"Because my brother's works are still very few, and he hasn't acted enough, so the outstanding works look very bright." Gu Yunkai smiled slightly, and looked into the distance thoughtfully, "It's also us Fortunately, the little prince was not too self-willed when he took on "Holy Devil", and let the director take charge, and the market for online dramas had not yet opened up at that time, so he took the opportunity. Later, "No Survival" had no chance, but I didn't expect I was favored by the author, and I was taught by Brother Han. I learned something and gained some popularity. Originally, "Farewell to the Wind and Moon" had a good reputation, but after all, the box office was not good. It is a popular movie. In the future, I will have to shoot a few independent films with small productions, but at this critical moment, I was invited to audition for "Eternal Solitude", so I was not affected..."
Thinking carefully about getting to where he is today, it seems that he can do everything with ease, but in fact, he is in danger everywhere, but if something goes wrong, Gu Yunkai needs two or three more years to achieve his current achievement.
Among them, "Eternal Solitude" is the one that helped his career the most, which directly made him rush from an unknown actor to a second-tier star. Otherwise, Gu Yunkai's best resource now is estimated to be acting in mid-level commercial entertainment films , not to mention the competition for "Light Like Day" and "Union of Secret Agents".
The source of it is thanks to myself who had carefully prepared for the audition for "Union of Agents" at the time, and troubled Jian Yuan to help him contact the instructor who retired from the army, so he met Xiang Xuan, and Xiang Xuan recommended him to Li Sisi. Now.Secondly, I would like to thank Jian Yuan and Xiang Xuan. The former is no longer necessary. After all, they are both boyfriends. The latter...
It's time to repay Xiang Xuan's favor.
If it continues, I am afraid that the price of paying it back will be even greater.
Gu Yunkai is an egoist. He doesn't mind achieving a win-win situation in certain things, and he doesn't mind harming the interests of others on specific opportunities. After all, work depends on ability, and whoever has the ability will take it.But once things involve him, he will never be so polite, he will not compromise unnecessary interests, it is really not worth it.
You must know that Gu Yunkai as a second-tier star can give far less favours than Gu Yunkai when he was a first-tier star. The more resources you get, the greater your fame and status. Things get more troublesome.
For example, many film kings and well-known actors who were bound by favors to star in bad movies have criminal records.
The Xiang family has a lot of businesses. If Xiang Xuan asks Gu Yunkai for a favor, it is most likely to let him act in any commercial film that attracts money or to endorse any product. The endorsement in terms of favor means that no matter what the product is Themes can't be rejected, the worst case is sex items, Gu Yunkai doesn't want to have his face printed on the condom packaging at all, even if it's just a possibility, or it's a poster or something, he doesn't even consider it at all.
It is Gu Yunkai's habit to prepare for the worst in advance. Even if the possibility of this endorsement is only [-]%, Gu Yunkai will kill it.
As for the debt owed to Lancer by "The Secret Service" this time, it has to be considered separately. After all, Lancer is a simple director, and his favor is not so bad at worst. Backer Xiang Xuan, Gu Yunkai would rather owe Lancer, at least Lancer would make a bad movie to pay back the favor.
No actor has ever made a bad movie, let alone Lancer is an aspiring director-he can't be stupid enough to make a bad movie by himself.
But if Xiang Xuan wanted to speak, Gu Yunkai might have to empty himself out.
Xiang Xuan's favor...
"When will the crew start filming?" Gu Yunkai asked, "If there is still time, I'll treat someone to a meal and deal with some things."
Gu Jianyue was quite curious about something, but since this matter was out of her hands, Gu Yunkai obviously didn't intend to tell her, so he didn't intend to hug her upper body, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Three days, you still have three days." During the day's break, they still need to contact the leading actors. There will be a charity party on the first night after filming begins. I have already told the crew that they will also attend, and there is no problem with the schedule. There are a few reshoots over there. The lead actor also needs to adjust his schedule. By the way, the producer gave me some information before. You'd better be mentally prepared. There are a few shots where there are no people. You have to perform against the green screen. After the press conference This point will also come out, but we must unify the caliber, and the producer promises to give back on the salary in this regard."
"Green screen?...So it's a post-production special effect?" Gu Yunkai's expression was a little complicated, "How can this be done? Can it work?"
However, Gu Yunkai didn't regret much. Even if it was special effects processing, he could at least see how other people performed, so the pressure wasn't too great.
Gu Jianyue sighed and said: "Yeah, I saw you, but it's not that exaggerated. It's just that when you shoot your own shots, there will be no one on the opposite side. The unified shots still have actors playing against each other. After all, this is There is a temporary problem, and people can't meet the schedule, and it's not easy to find time, in the final analysis, it's all the fault of that bastard actor."
It turned out to be like this, not the case of cutout.
Gu Yunkai secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Without that bastard, we wouldn't be able to shoot this scene." Gu Yunkai bent down and got into the car, sat in it, and after calculating that there should be enough time, he nodded secretly, "Let's go." ,go back."
…………
When he got home, Gu Yunkai called Jian Yuan first.
"Light Like the Day" has already finished filming, and Jian Yuan's opera should be about to start. Not long ago, he said that he left a ticket for Gu Yunkai, and Gu Yunkai planned to pay in advance for this ticket.
Although Jian Yuan failed to live up to his wishes, this ticket falls into the hands of someone who appreciates it. It is better than having an empty seat every time, and it does not seem to be such a waste of resources.
I was embarrassed to say it before, but now...
"Yunkai?" Jian Yuan should be resting, and the call was connected immediately, sounding excited, "Why do you have time to call me today?"
Gu Yunkai waved his hand at Gu Jianyue who was eagerly eavesdropping, pushed her face away and shook his head, the intention of rejection was obvious.Gu Jianyue struggled desperately under the hands of the big devil for a while, her face was almost squeezed out between her fingers, seeing Gu Yunkai's refusal was firm, so she reluctantly moved away, knowing that she wanted to understand this time After a while, this mysterious "sister-in-law" was probably helpless again, so she made a big face at her brother, waved her hand and left.
She is different from Gu Yunkai, the agent always has other jobs, not to mention that "Light Like the Day" has just finished filming, whether it is to cooperate with the publicity work or the fan support club, there are still a few days left She has to start every one of the ALS charity gala.
Gu Yunkai checked whether he really had too little contact with Jian Yuan. After thinking about it for a while, he thought about it secretly, and immediately returned to normal: "I remember that your opera is about to start?"
"It's not my opera, it's the opera I will participate in." Jian Yuan laughed, sounding very happy, and he said on the other end, "By the way, I've always wanted to tell you, but I couldn't find it. Chances are, my piece didn't pass, and Master Delphant said my piece didn't fit the mood of Rice's first love at the time."
When Gu Yunkai heard that he was happy, he couldn't help feeling happy, but he was more or less puzzled and asked, "Then you are still so happy?"
"Because it can be given to you." Jian Yuan chuckled twice, like a mindless teenager, "It was originally born because of you, so I am actually hesitant to accept it. With Master Daphant’s approval, if you can enter the work, it is certainly an acknowledgment of me, but if you can’t, then it can be given to you again. When I think about it, I feel that it doesn’t matter whether I can pass the test or not. , are worthy of my joy."
Gu Yunkai was amused, he opened the door and entered the room, sat in the entrance to change his shoes, put the phone between his shoulder and ear and said helplessly: "According to what you said, there is nothing bad in the world."
He didn't know if normal couples were like this, but neither Gu Yunkai nor Jian Yuan liked to bury things in their hearts in front of each other, especially Gu Yunkai really couldn't understand why some things could be explained clearly in person. I have to guess in my heart and feel embarrassed for a long time. In the end, I tortured myself so much that my life was worse than death and I just didn't open my mouth.
If fear arises out of love, then get rid of it. Life doesn’t have so much time for sorrow and sorrow, and I can’t wait to cry bitterly when I feel uncomfortable.
Especially since Gu Yunkai has to work for a long time, it is already very difficult for him to switch roles, and he has no time to immerse himself in unnecessary and self-inflicted sorrow to affect his life.
I don't know if it's because of this kind of thinking, the conversation between Gu Yunkai and Jian Yuan has always been very pleasant, not to mention that the two have been separated for a long time, so they cherish every opportunity to contact each other.
"Then what can I do, Yun Kai, you don't know how excellent my father is." Jian Yuan confides, "He has been very good since he was a child, and compared with him, I can't even get 20% of him." There is no single achievement. He has questioned his grandfather's authority in music since he was [-] years old. He left his grandfather's wing and created a new music trend, which made everyone accept him. I am now more than he was then It's bigger, but I'm not even half as accomplished as he is."
It's really a shock to have such a person around.
Thinking of Sharp's acting skills, Gu Yunkai couldn't help but nodded. Since he was an actor, he has never felt that kind of pressure from any actor, and he has never been crushed to the point where he is powerless to fight back. , it can almost be said that Sharp drove him to act.
So Gu Yunkai can understand Jian Yuan's mood very well, not to mention that he only socializes with Sharp's acting skills at work, but Jian Yuan himself works in music, so he can imagine what it's like to be crushed by his father every day and every year...
People who are not driven crazy are usually broad-minded and open-minded.
However, although there are several bigwigs surnamed Jane in the music industry, it seems that few people have heard of the one who started a new trend?
There are many celebrities in the music circle, and you can find more. Not to mention the historical ones, Gu Yunkai, who is surnamed Jian, has also found dozens of them. However, many awards are dizzying, and some achievements are hyped. He really didn't understand that he just looked pretty, so he only had a general impression of Jian Yuan's family.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Yunkai sighed and said, "By the way, I want to ask, is the ticket sales started now?"
"Oh, by the way, you also have a younger sister. I blame me for being confused. I forgot to prepare one for your younger sister." Even if it's just the voice, you can hear Jian Yuan's happy appearance on the other end, "I'm To prepare, or to perform in the Grand Theater, two tickets? Then...then you will come this time?"
Gu Yunkai almost couldn't bear to interrupt him, and asked after a long silence, "When is it?"
"...you're not sure if you can come, so if you ask for a ticket... it's not for your sister?" Jian Yuan's sensitivity is really frightening sometimes, he quickly fell silent, and said softly, "in October."
October is definitely not free.
There's the "Spies" red carpet and promotional events, including some big and small cast interviews...
"Sorry, A Yuan, I have a job in October..."
Jian Yuan sounded disappointed: "I know."
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. I know you will leave me a ticket every time. I owe a favor to someone who likes your performance very much, so... I don't know if you mind, but I want to put my A ticket for him." Gu Yunkai said cautiously.
Gu Yunkai is not a fool, he learned from Xiang Xuan very early on that Jian Yuan is not from an ordinary family background, but after all, Xiang Xuan cannot represent the Xiang family alone, and it is obvious that Jian Yuan practices musical instruments and lives recklessly without money. Impossible.At first, Gu Yunkai realized that Jian Yuan might be a rich man, but as time passed, he learned more and more deeply, and roughly pieced together a model of Jian Yuan's family.
He thinks that Jian Yuan probably came from a family of court musicians, and he is very talented, while Xiang Xuan really loves music, plus his family is from a businessman, and he wants to get involved with the imperial power. pass.
Serving the royal family inevitably entails some small privileges. It is not unbelievable that Uncle is a musician but can get first-hand information from journalists.
Gu Yunkai has come into contact with the rich and powerful, and everyone is in the same circle and at the same level. He has climbed from nothing to the point where he can go to the same reception with Durant, and sooner or later he will be able to go to the same banquet with Jian Yuan.
"Of course I mind." Jian Yuan said very directly, "This is too rude, I can't accept it at all, how can I say such a thing? What do you want me to say, of course I don't mind, you just use it Well, lend someone back your favor, because I love you, and hell, I don't."
Gu Yunkai almost thought he heard it wrong, his face froze slightly, if not mistaken, this was the first time he had a conflict with Jian Yuan, he never thought that Jian Yuan would talk like this when he was angry... …
It's...that's pretty cute.
Gu Yunkai felt really desperate for himself with his own filter.
"Why do I have to accept that my boyfriend can't come to watch my performance, and then I have to experience another person I don't know at all sitting in that seat." Jian Yuan complained furiously, "Of course not Yes, I really mind, very much, super mind!"
"I know, I have already fully felt your mind." Gu Yunkai said helplessly, and he sighed softly, "Don't be angry, just pretend that I didn't say it, don't care about it Well, I'll try to find another way."
Jian Yuan said sullenly: "But you have already said it, how can you pretend that you haven't said it."
Gu Yunkai was about to be annoyed, he couldn't help but shook his head, and said jokingly: "Then what do you want from me? This is my favor, and I really shouldn't trouble you. If I hurt you It's in your heart, can I rub it for you next time we meet?"
"No, I want to rub yours." Jian Yuan puffed his cheeks, "Then, is it a big favor?"
"Well...it's okay, he introduced me to play "Eternal Solitude". To be a man, you must know how to be grateful, and his family is powerful and powerful. I can't think of any good opportunity to repay this favor." Gu Yunkai was silent for a while and said, "And he really likes music. I think at least if the ticket is given to him, he can appreciate music better than me."
music……
Jian Yuan immediately became alert: "Do you have a good impression of him?"
"Yes, after all, he looks like a husky. He is quite cute and has a good personality, but we have only met once or twice. By the way, you forgot the boy who hugged you at the reception that time. Is it? That's him." Gu Yunkai said casually, "Isn't he your fanboy?"
Jian Yuan suddenly realized: "Yes, no wonder I think his face is weird, he really looks like a husky. Then I can rest assured."
"rest assured?"
"Yeah, I look better than him." Jian Yuan said complacently, "Well, wait a minute, now I can give you a ticket, it's not yours, I'll ask Master Daphant for it One, but I can't guarantee where it will be."
It's not a big deal.
Gu Yunkai couldn't help asking, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I'm just not happy that you want to give up your position. If it's not your position, then it doesn't matter." Jian Yuan said happily, "Besides, I'm your boyfriend. If you When you are in trouble, if I don't stand up for you, what use do you want me to be?"
Gu Yunkai laughed dumbfounded, and teased: "Although it is true to say so, if you are crushed by your father, I can't help you. It is okay to drag you down and make you more angry."
"It doesn't matter, I can crush you!"
Gu Yunkai wasn't sure if following this sentence to think of things like launching rockets was the correct way of understanding.
