Chapter 332 Old friends get together (two in one)
After the popularity of "The Emperor of Ruzi" became popular, the first time that Li Ze and Chen Yu met was two weeks after the New Year.
Chen Yu is very busy. He is now very popular and has various traffic-type programs. It is said that during the Chinese New Year, he was out for notices. It was not until around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that he took a day to go home to meet his parents, and then hurried to Shenghai, where a program was to be recorded.
When the program was finished, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening - it was still early.
But he wanted to meet his senior brother, so he called Li Ze.
At that time, Li Ze was sleeping.
His current routine of work and rest must be particularly regular unless it is at work. He goes to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening, sleeps for eight hours, gets up at 6 o'clock, starts morning exercises, performs performances, study and training, reads, and studies movies...
This kind of spirit really makes Chen Yu admire it.
He called Li Ze and ate barbecue not far from his community - Li Ze also bought a house, mainly because it was difficult to continue living in the company's new dormitory.
"Senior Brother..." Chen Yu was whispering skewers, saying, "I don't understand, you are quite popular now, why are you unwilling to go to many activities arranged by the company?"
"You eat slowly, I'm really afraid that you will choke to death, and it will cause big news tomorrow."
"I'm really hungry." Chen Yu didn't slow down at all. He was really hungry and didn't have much time to eat all day today.
"Oh..." He handed Chen Yu a bottle of drinks, and he said, "It's a waste of time and boring if you don't have any interest."
"That's all money!" Chen Yu didn't understand even more, "Your current value can make a lot of money when you go out to participate in an event, right?"
Li Ze said: "To be honest, I don't seem to be interested in money anymore."
"Clam?" Chen Yu looked like he was holding a skewer in his mouth, looking stupid and unreal.
This was the first time he heard that someone was no longer interested in money.
Li Ze smiled and did not explain much.
He is now in his thirties and has experienced so much that he has become very open to many things.
Becoming famous, making money... To be honest, he doesn't have so many obsessions. In other words, his success is different from when he was young.
He is not so interested in material enjoyment or making money. He has actually been confused for a while. Many people regard making money as their goal in life, but money is never the ultimate goal. Some people make money to buy a house, to children, to satisfy material desires, and to allow their families to live a better life...
It seems that everyone should have their own purpose in making money.
But for Li Ze, he seemed to have no such purpose for a long time before.
It seems that there isn't now either.
He couldn't find any material pursuits he had, but there was always spiritually. His father, mother, lover, and at the last moment of his life, were all happy for him because he started his acting career. Although they had left, he was still alive, and he felt that he had the responsibility to continue their expectations.
Becoming a great actor is his past dream, and now he has picked it up again.
Chen Yu, who was younger than him for several years and had never experienced his past experiences, could not understand his thoughts.
Sighing, Chen Yu said, "I don't understand you... But, in fact, I vaguely think that you are good like this. I didn't think so before, but in recent years, your level has been getting higher and higher, and I have thrown away much better..."
He said this sincerely.
When the two of them signed in to the Dimensional Agency together, Chen Yu admitted that Li Ze's acting skills were a little better than himself, but it was just that - he thought so anyway.
But over the years, although Chen Yu has acted much more than Li Ze's performances, his acting skills have been gradually pulled apart by the naked eye.
Chen Yu is a young actor with a good reputation. Although he is taking the path, he can be regarded as an idol route, but his acting skills are indeed praised. He even said that he is the "number one among young actors" and the "acting responsibility among traffic stars".
However, he knew clearly that although he had performed many dramas over the years, he really didn't have much time to continue to absorb and learn. When his acting skills rose the fastest, he actually broadcast the time he had been in the company before he became popular after filming "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".
With the little ink obtained from the hard training period, most of the movies he filmed in the following years relying on the little ink to keep expressing it, but he did not absorb it further.
Of course, it is not that there is no growth once, but it is not particularly obvious.
On the other hand, although Li Ze filmed "Hell Apartment" and "The Emperor of the Ruzi", it is obvious that when he was not filming, he did not stop at all to temper himself. I am afraid that he usually spent a lot of time studying, learning, and tempering himself. These things are ultimately reflected in the works, so that he can walk the way, which is completely different from Chen Yu.
Of course, the popularity is incomparable; however, most of the more senior movie fans now have an impression of Li Ze, who are both acting and masters.
Although the idols make money far more than ordinary acting students, their future development is completely different. Can they rely on their faces and live a lifetime? I am afraid that as Andy Lau gets older and his acting skills get more tempered, he will be able to grow up like this.
Thinking of these things, Li Ze shook his head and said, "Xiao Yu, I advise you not to dig yourself so hard sometimes. Those boring variety shows, programs, and activities, participate less and have more time to calm down and absorb something, which will be much better for the future. To be honest, you are not very young now, and you can't eat idols for the rest of your life."
Chen Yu next to him felt thoughtful.
It’s not that he has never heard of these words, but that the same words are different when Li Ze said them.
Seeing that he heard it, Li Ze thought about it and was willing to say a few more words.
"I think our company is very good. I have never heard of it. The company has any excessive exploitation of its artists, and it does not completely interfere with the artist's ideas and practices. The company that I do not enjoy can squeeze the value of some idols to death. For example, I don't want to go to the show, and the company has never said anything about me. Instead, Brother Dai helped me find a performance teacher..."
"What I say these words is to give you any other ideas. I know that some companies outside are poaching you, and the prices are still high, but if you go out, I dare to assert that you definitely didn't stay in the company."
Li Ze mentioned an amazing topic. Chen Yu's expression was a bit unnatural when he heard it.
"Senior brother, what are you saying? I..."
"No need to explain." Li Ze waved his hand, "I won't talk too much, I'm just reminding you."
Chen Yu stopped the chopsticks and listened carefully.
"I won't say anything about the kindness of knowing the favor of my experience. It's boring. Just talk about future development, whether it's private life or work choices, and the company has no restrictions on us. You can think carefully about the future path, whether it's transformation or what's going on. In terms of resources, although there are not so many movies and movies invested in, they are all top quality products. Don't be greedy for temporary money and ruin your future."
After hearing these words, Chen Yu nodded cautiously and said, "I will think about what my senior brother said."
Li Ze didn't know whether Chen Yu had listened to his advice, but it didn't matter. Although these words were his heartfelt words, the relationship between the two was just a good friend to put it bluntly. He was at best just to give advice on major life events and career development. His final choice was still up to Chen Yu to do it himself.
However, he believed that his junior brother was a smart person and should be able to make wise choices.
With a smile, he patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I have to go back to sleep, otherwise I will not get up tomorrow morning exercise."
...
When the two brothers Chen Yu and Li Ze gathered together for midnight snacks, there were two older brothers gathered together.
Du Zhengde and Xie Peihe.
Du Zhengde recently directed the film "Master of Martial Arts: War". The crew started with many outdoor shootings in Southeast Asia, and there was no rest during the entire Spring Festival, and it was not nearly back until the previous two days.
At present, the overseas shots of "Master of Martial Arts: War" have been almost done. Recently, I have just turned back to Shenghai and are preparing to shoot the last bit of interior scene and green screen shot. Before the filming, it happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so the crew had two days off. The protagonist Chen Yu took advantage of this opportunity to run out of the crew and participate in the recording of a program in Shenghai.
As the director of the movie, the actors can take a break. Director Du Zhengde still has a lot to be busy with. However, it is no problem to take some time and meet old friends.
"Congratulations, Lao Xie, I finally turned over this time." Du Zhengde said with a smile while pouring tea.
Comrade Xie said, "Thank you for your recommendation."
Du Zhengde waved his hand, put down the tea set, and served a cup of each, and then said, "It's just a matter of time. When Mr. Fan said that they wanted to shoot a historical drama, talk about power and tricks, and take the path of a serious drama, I thought of you the first time."
Xie Peihe is older than Du Zhengde, and is a serious old comrade. He said with some emotion: "Without this opportunity, I may...be prepared to retire."
"Retirement? How old are you? You are not even sixty years old, and you are thinking about retirement?"
"What else?" Xie Peihe said helplessly, "No one asked me to film. I am getting older and not retired, so why do I go?"
After finishing, he waved his hand again and said, "I won't talk about this anymore, I won't talk about this anymore. This time I've been a turnaround."
His face was very happy.
Du Zhengde laughed twice, then said again: "Brother, what are your plans in the future?"
"Continue shooting... Someone has started to contact me recently..."
Speaking of this, Xie Peihe sighed again and said, "But... the world is different now. There is a Qing palace drama that comes to me, and it is also a historical drama... But, can I shoot that kind of film?"
"What's wrong?" Du Zhengde didn't care, "I guess he's given a lot of money, right?"
"It's not a matter of money or not!" Xie Peihe said, "I don't like that kind of scene, and I can't shoot it. I forced myself to shoot it. I didn't shoot it well, and I spent money in vain, and I finally gained a little fame. I really envy you. What you can shoot is now popular, unlike me... I can shoot one."
"Isn't this good? You're specializing in it." Du Zhengde said.
"That's like an actor, it's called a narrow acting road." Xie Peihe was still a little depressed, "Alas, after all, there are still fewer movies like historical dramas... I don't know when I can make a drama like "The Emperor Wu of Han" and I will die without regrets."
Du Zhengde was a little speechless. He didn't know what to say about this old comrade.
However, while drinking tea, he suddenly thought of something, so he simply suggested: "Hey, brother, I have an idea."
"What?"
"Or, you go to Weidu Entertainment, go to Mr. Fan's place, and try to touch it again. It's quite reliable for them to make things."
"Then I know they are reliable," Xie Peihe said. "To be honest, "The Emperor of Ruzi" is the most comfortable drama I have ever filmed in my life. The actors are selected and the crew is professional. They can still shoot according to their hearts. They can also get the editing. They can do it without any leakage."
Du Zhengde laughed: "I think so too. I have worked with them to shoot two things, including dramas and movies. It is really comfortable to make things with them. It is not easy, but to be able to make works. They are a company that is serious about making things, and in the industry... Forget it, it's better not to mention it. I'm telling you this, don't forget that there is such a reliable choice next to you."
Xie Peihe was obviously moved, but he was emotionally hesitant: "I am not like you, I can shoot anything. I am sure to shoot historical dramas. What if they don't have the idea of continuing to shoot other historical dramas?"
"You go and ask." Lao Du said, "regardless of whether there is or not, if you ask, maybe you will have a chance?"
After a pause, he continued, "What's more, I said, brother, don't always walk on the same path. It's nothing to touch other subjects. I believe that with your old experience and ability, as long as you get started, will other subjects be photographed the same?"
Taking a deep breath, Xie Peihe said, "Okay, I'll have a shy face in the past two days and go to their place for another walk."
