"Why choose Jiang Yiyan?" Now that the investment has been confirmed, Kong Xue also joined the discussion as a producer.
"Good value for money." Xin Yukun said concisely and concisely: "I can only think of her for the time being."
"How about Tan Zhuo?" Kong Xue turned to ask Su Ze, "I feel like she is more suitable."
"Sister Zhuo?" Su Ze was stunned. To be honest, he was looking forward to working with Tan Zhuo again. After all, there were too few silent scenes last time and it was not satisfying at all.
But a blizzard is coming...
"Forget it." Su Ze shook his head and said, "We are all too familiar with each other, and the passionate scene will be very embarrassing!"
Xin Yukun smiled, it was rare to see this kid looking so deflated.
"Then forget it." Kong Xue felt a little pity, but Su Ze had no choice but to give up. However, he still had to be cautious in choosing the heroine. He had to find out Jiang Yiyan's background and never cause trouble to Su Ze.
"The venue has been found and we have conducted several on-site inspections. There is basically no need to build a big scene." Xin Yukun analyzed: "The actors can save on the pay, so it is best to use our own people."
"I calculated that the cost can be controlled within 10 million. If the filming goes well, I can save money for publicity. I will invest half of it this time!"
Seeing Kong Xue frowning, he explained: "The Blizzard is coming and the box office may not be too high. The main reason is to win awards, so..."
"It doesn't matter!" Kong Xue waved her hand and said domineeringly: "According to the highest standards, Kanze is not short of money now."
"For distribution, we will contact Bona. We can handle the distribution ourselves. We will hire our own actors, and Zhao Yang and Tian Xiaojie are both idle."
"Also let the newly signed people practice their skills."
When Xin Yukun saw Su Ze nodding, he finally let go of his heavy heart. It was not impossible to grit his teeth and invest, but there were too many things that needed to be solved.
Su Ze is not cheap now!
There are also review, distribution, publicity, channels, film arrangement...
Just thinking about it gives me a headache!
In this case, it is better to cooperate with Kanazawa. As long as the film is good, there is no need to worry about anything else. Now they have strong troops and horses. Let alone 10 million, they don't care about 100 million.
Kong Xue has read the script and feels it's okay. It's obviously a recipe for winning awards. As for the box office?
It doesn't matter, it's not a big problem to get back the money, as long as Su Ze can win a movie award, it's worth it.
In the five years since his debut, he has acted in four or five movies, all of which made a lot of money at the box office. He has a good reputation but has never won a major award.
With his current status, being a Golden Rooster Best Rookie is simply not enough. Since Xin Yukun is ambitious, then give it a try.
The collaboration was finalized and she joined the team a week later. The rest was left to Kong Xue to worry about, while Su Ze began to study the script.
"I call the remnant, the kingdom of the country, the great great."
Looking in the mirror, Su Ze adjusted his performance, slowly integrated into the character, and experienced Yu Guowei's emotional fluctuations.
Yu Guowei, the officer of the factory security department, is upright, diligent and responsible. He is sure to break any robbers in the factory. He is known as Detective Yu.
Admired by his apprentices and praised by his colleagues, he wholeheartedly wants to join the system and become a real policeman within the establishment, working hard to prove himself.
A serial killer kills four to five young women, and he begins a self-reliant investigation. The deliberately rainy atmosphere adds to the mystery of the story.
In the end, the killer was still not caught, but three innocent people died, including his favorite heroine.
I have to say that Yu Guowei's role in this work is very important, so important that other characters except the heroine are basically tool people.
This is very risky, but it is also Xin Yukun's style characteristic, from invisible guests to bursting into silence.
Su Ze has his own understanding of this absolute protagonist aura. It does not lie in the number of roles the character plays, but in how the actor gives the character enough life in the short movie time.
Character localization!
A character needs to fit the screen environment in which he grows up.
In a rainy county in the south, in a state-owned manufacturing factory and mine in the late 1990s, the role of a security officer must first be like the majority of people living here, rather than the role he is responsible for.
South, rainy, backward counties, old system, wave of layoffs...
These elements will inevitably give birth to a type of people who share common personality traits, such as common body movements, speaking logic and aesthetic judgment.
From his walking posture to his twitching corners of his mouth and eyes, Yu Guowei worked hard and carefully handled every step he took.
Treat yourself as a humble person.
But his victory is not in being humble, but in holding back.
It was a breath that had accumulated for many years.
The so-called detective who is ridiculed by others is holding back the drive to prove himself. And this drive is pinned on a criminal, on a woman, and on the fantasy of beauty within the system.
"When he saw the police, he should run. Yes, he would run over instinctively."
"Faced with a rare opportunity to prove myself, I feel excited, but I can't show it."
"Bend down, lower your head, speak in a low voice, offer a cigarette to light a fire..."
"To please the police, no, it should be to please everyone within the system!"
Su Ze closed his eyes and simulated the character's state, and an image gradually emerged in his eyes: greasy hair, unshaven beard, wearing a long leather jacket and tie shirt all day long, riding a semi-old motorcycle.
Greasy and careful.
In order to handle the case, you can save face. Every time you see the police, the first words they say are often: How do I need to cooperate?
I really want to climb up and break through the barriers of the system, but at the same time I want to hide this desire. Because I am not in my position and do not seek to do my job. It is always annoying to overstep my authority. The only way is to lower my posture and lower it, maybe even
Chance?
I have to admit that Xin Yukun was indeed prepared this time. Yu Guowei is the darling of the film festival in terms of character design. This kind of little character has always been the object of love and attention of the film festival.
"Su Ze, it's all up to you this time!"
design.
The Invisible Guest wins with logic and reversal, the Silent Burst wins with details and metaphors, and a blizzard is coming...
I couldn't help but shake my head. I had no choice. Every gain must come with a loss. It's hard to have both audiences and awards. Since you're chasing awards, don't consider the box office.
In other words, everything is on Su Ze!
I believe in this young man with talent and experience, I believe in this actor who is willing to experience life for the role, and I believe in this performer who works crazy for the character.
He doesn’t even need to experience life. He has experienced being a criminal police officer while chasing a murderer in the white night, and he has experienced the mining area. Although he is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, his experience is far beyond that of his age.
What director doesn't like this kind of actor!
Who is Yu Guowei?
A complicated and crazy little person in the tide of the times. He wants to be respected, but behind it is a deep fear. He wants to be a special self in the group, but he is the first to be abandoned by everyone.
He wanted to get honor from justice, but turned into a murderous thug. The complex character is the core of the whole character. Fortunately, as a director, I can meet Su Ze...
Only an actor like him has the ability to handle this kind of role!
