Chapter 92: No one is optimistic
(The first time I strongly recommend it, I don’t know why it hasn’t been put on the shelves on Friday, and the editor can’t contact you even after the annual holiday. However, next week, Qidian shouldn’t slap himself in the face and asked me to recommend VIPs for a public work, so it should be put on the shelves next Monday at the latest... right? Because I don’t have enough experience, I made a joke, and I’m sorry to everyone.)
“Radical director.”
This is the title of "Jinling Evening News".
This report occupies a full half of the front page of the entertainment page, and is accompanied by two close-up photos of Duan’s face, which shows how the people of Nanyang City value Duan, his "family".
Duane continued to watch.
"The youngest director, Duane, has had new trends recently."
The overseas release of "The Pretty Beauty" has been completely out of stock, and the overseas box office was finally stopped at the figure of 910 million. With the domestic box office of 780 million, the total box office reached 1.69 billion, so Duane's title of "1.5 billion director" has been completely confirmed.
"Last month, Director Duane announced his new film plan "Terminator". According to the news obtained by our reporter from DreamWorks Film and Television Culture Communication Company, just one month later, the crew of "Terminator" has been completed, with a total investment of 40 million, and is about to start filming. This youngest director of 1.5 billion is indeed full of energy, but at the same time, we also found a strange name from the list of crews released by DreamWorks Film and Television Culture Company, Su Yun."
It turned out that Shu Yu announced the news, but it was supposed to be for publicity.
This situation is very common. Many crews start to promote the project and preparation, but most of them cannot cause any storm and newspapers are too lazy to report it. There are so many movies launched in the country every year. If you don’t have first-line stars and well-known directors to participate, who will be happy to report on the small things like building a group and starting a film? Readers don’t like to watch it.
But Duane is different.
First, his "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" has been off for less than two months and is still warm; secondly, he has just confirmed the title of the youngest director of 1.5 billion, and is in the limelight; finally, and most importantly, he found a pure newcomer like Su Yun to star in a commercial film with an investment of 40 million yuan. These media reporters are indeed very powerful, and in a few days, they turned Su Yun's details upside down. They knew that this strange actor had a junior high school diploma, had never attended any performing arts school, nor had any acting experience. After graduating from junior high school, he worked in various nightclubs in Nanyang City, and his last job was the foreman of Royal No. 1 Club.
"...This young director always seems to like to use unknown actors, but this time he is more bold and directly uses pure passers-by who have never had relevant experience in the film and television industry. This makes people worry. Will "Terminator" become his "Terminator" as some people predict? We all know that young people are often prone to losing themselves when facing great success. I hope this young director will not be blinded by his grades, be cautious and take the next step..."
Because Du An is from Nanyang, these newspapers in Nanyang have always been quite tolerant of him and have reported on his achievements. Such obvious doubts are rare. From this, it can be seen that his approach to using Su Yun this time is indeed not favored by others.
Du An took the newspapers in Kang Junan's hand one by one, and browsed them roughly, and found that most newspapers were not optimistic about him, and they were almost at the level of being surrounded by enemies. Among them, the report of the Jinling Evening News was quite restrained, and the other newspapers were even more unpolite, especially a national newspaper, which was a large number of "crazy", and also quoted the statement that God would make people crazy first if they wanted to destroy them, saying that "Terminator" would become the Waterloo of this young director."
However, these newspapers are not criticizing them in a brainless way, but are just showing facts and reasoning.
"Terminator" is a science fiction film, which is a point they are not optimistic about.
In the history of Chinese films, science fiction films are an absolutely unpopular category, and both hands of famous science fiction films can be counted: "Pili Beibei", "The Legend of Wesley", "Guan Gong vs. Aliens", "Super School Overlord", "Strength King"... The urban love light comedy category in which "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" belongs is already unpopular, but compared with the field of science fiction films, they are all considered popular categories.
The reason why unpopularity becomes unpopular is naturally because it is difficult to shoot and even harder to shoot well. Therefore, no one is optimistic about Duan’s plunging into this fatal point. Before, the newspapers in Nanyang City sang well because they were able to do their jobs at DreamWorks, plus Duan’s own advantages.
The second thing they are not optimistic about is that Su Yun, who has no acting experience and used to be a haunted guy.
Throughout the history of film, most of the actors have undergone relevant training - either from performing arts schools like Beijing Film and Central Academy of Drama, or from the wireless interpretation training class in Hong Kong, with pure wild ways, such as Lin Jiaxin, who is now in the crew of "Terminator", but she has also struggled in the circle, released records, acted in TV, and accumulated experience, so that she could explode in one fell swoop in "Man Forty". For example, Du An himself is also a wild way, but he is a genius director himself, and after playing a supporting role in "Saw", it was the turn of "Fengyue Pretty" to become the starring actor.
An example of a straightforward step to reach the sky cannot be found.
And what about Su Yun?
According to media surveys, his only experience related to the film and television industry is that he often goes to KTV to scream twice. Who can rest assured that such a guy will be the starring actor of a 40 million-dollar production? Only Duan, who doesn't play according to the rules.
And who can believe that a movie starring such a guy would be a good one? Everyone seems to have seen that whenever Su Yun leaves the country, the scenes of this movie will be converted from a movie to a home video.
With a pure passerby starring, the bad movies are basically gone, so the current public opinion trend is almost the same as the Terminator. Even the local newspapers in Nanyang City who are close to Duan have the same attitude. After all, Duan is committed to death and insists on finding someone who has no acting experience to take the lead. They cannot go against the mainstream public opinion direction. The news media still need to be authentic.
"Don't worry,"
Duan threw a lot of newspapers in his hand back into Kang Junan's arms and comforted him: "Didn't the media not optimistic about "Fengyue" at the beginning? It's not that the box office hit."
Kang Junan took the newspaper and hugged it in his arms. He couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Duan's words: Although "The Pretty Beauty" is not favored, at least he felt that Duan's production attitude was still very serious at that time. At the same time, the heroine Zhu Qian and Duan himself, the male lead, had extraordinary acting skills and amazing, so he achieved such results. But what about now?
A pure passerby, he almost walked out of the camera frame several times when he saw Su Yun moving...
Kang Junan wouldn't say anything if he was just a science fiction film. After all, he witnessed Duan's success with his own eyes and trusted Duan more than others, but with Su Yun... even he had no confidence.
Seeing Kang Junan's appearance, he seemed to be worried. Du An reached out to rummage in his arms and found a newspaper, "Look, not all the media are optimistic about us, but some people are confident in us."
Du An was holding a picture of "Nanyang City Daily" in his hand, with the title on it shocking.
"Su Yun booked the Best Actor Award for Huabiao!"
This marking is too fantastic, and Duan, the person who supports Su Yun the most, can't bear to look at it.
The reporter named Wu Jun in this newspaper seemed to have made up his mind to sing a opposite tune with everyone. When everyone was not optimistic about Du An's decision, he stood up and strongly supported Du An's decision, saying that "this is an extremely wise decision", saying that Du An "is not only good at directing dramas, but also good at discovering potential actors." He also used Zhu Qian, who had just been nominated for the Best Actress Award in Huabiao Awards as an example to prove his point of view, saying that Su Yun is a "nurturing actor who is rare in a century" and "will shock the whole world", and "only three are nominated for the Best Actor in the Four Huabiao Awards in 2005."
Kang Junan glanced at the newspaper in Du An's hand, laughed dryly, and said nothing.
Both of them knew that this weird reporter was just making a fool of himself for sales and would not take it seriously. Of course, Kang Junan would not expose this fact in front of Du An. It would be enough for everyone to tell me.
At this time, Su Yun finally finished his makeup. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
