Chapter 678 The slapstick friends(1/2)
While Men Jie was chatting with Feng Xiaogang, all the actors from the "Night Banquet" crew were already in place. Looking at these familiar faces that he hadn't seen for a while, or maybe hadn't seen for a long time, Men Jie felt really deep in his heart.
Inside, there is a happier feeling...
Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, and Wu Yanzu, who had joined the crew some time ago but whom Men Jie had not seen, were all in place and greeted Men Jie.
"Sister Ziyi, sister Zhou Xun, I haven't seen you for a while!"
After saying hello, Menjie rushed over.
Like Men Jie, these two people have been resting during this period, but the difference is that because these two are film and television stars, they can only participate in some activities during this time, which is not considered busy in itself, while Men Jie
Jay has a New Year's Eve party, the release of a new album and a personal photo album, so he is really busy.
"Hey, that's good for you, we've been very busy during this time!"
Looking at Menjie with envy, Huang Xiaoming has a relatively cheerful personality. Although he is not very prosperous, his strength is very good. What he lacks is an opportunity. Huang Xiaoming, who also has a very good relationship with Menjie and others, uses
He said with a rather jealous tone.
"That's right. I originally thought that I would be able to see big stars like you when I entered the set. I didn't expect that it took me so long to see you, and that I suffered so much!"
After hearing Huang Xiaoming's words, Wu Yanzu on the side also vomited bitterness and joked that Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun and Men Jie looked like big stars.
This period of time has indeed been hard on a few of them!
Men Jie, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun have been taking a rest during this period and have not participated in the filming of the movie "The Night Banquet", but a few of them...
During the previous filming period, the entire "Night Banquet" crew traveled to A'er Mountain, Mordaoga, Anji and other places to shoot outdoor scenes. From the ice and snow to the wind and cold outside the Great Wall, they indeed suffered a lot.
These places were all shot in real scenes. In January and February, the weather was relatively cold, and several people were filming in these cold places. Even if they wore thick cotton clothes and trousers every day, they were pregnant with incomparable emotions.
Although I was filming with such enthusiasm, I was afraid that I would also feel the biting cold wind and shiver.
But...there is nothing we can do about it!
In the movie "The Night Banquet", in order to show the flavor of the movie itself, Feng Xiaogang used his unique perspective to analyze for the audience the continuous battles in the Chinese royal court, loneliness and even involuntary control, and what will happen under the huge oppression.
The human instinct that can be embodied is brought to the extreme, and all of this requires the use of a lot of real scenery.
Only various real landscapes can show such a feeling!
In the original bamboo forest, Feng Xiaogang was able to capture a sense of tranquility and tranquility, a sense of contentment, and then used the killing of iron and blood to destroy this feeling.
And in the palace, relying on the dark side characters of Men Jie and Zhang Ziyi, as well as Zhou Xun's character as pure as paper and as white as snow, in the dark palace, another kind of
Huge contrast.
In addition, in the ice and snow, Wu Yanzu's desolation and Huang Xiaoming's help later can also show a huge contrast.
Among so many contrasts, the purpose of truly achieving and reflecting the fundamental color of a person's surname is achieved!
Among them, there is indeed Feng Xiaogang's powerful directing ability, the true ability of a truly top Chinese director!
However, no matter how powerful a director is, he must have props and backgrounds, otherwise...
Even for the world's top great director, it is absolutely impossible for him to shoot an excellent movie with a box office of over nine figures in an abandoned factory!
There is no doubt about this. In addition to a good story, good actors, and a good director, a good movie also requires a lot of surrounding work, all of which are indispensable!
Didn’t you see that those top foreign directors are able to shoot movies with extremely shocking visuals and high box office, don’t they rely on various props and technologies?
Of course, this requires a certain amount of financial support, but Men Jie and others as actors, and Feng Xiaogang as director do not need to worry about this financial issue.
"Azu, I don't object to you saying you're happy to see a big star, but don't include me in it either!"
With a wry smile, Menjie quickly stood next to Wu Yanzu and drew a clear line between Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun.
"They are two big stars, but I am not! Have you forgotten? More than a year ago, I was competing with you for a supporting role! Although I won you over in the end, if it weren't for some other reasons
If so, that role can never be mine!"
The 'character' that Menjie refers to is naturally the supporting role played by Menjie in the movie "Fist of Fury"!
If it weren't for the fact that the investor Jackie Chan wanted to use the movie "Fist of Fury" to find a stepping stone for a role suitable for the number one supporting actor in the movie "The Myth", Menjie would never have been able to take this role.
Competed with Wu Yanzu.
Therefore, it was really luck that Menjie was able to get such a role at that time.
"I admit, I was better than you in terms of fame and acting skills at that time, but now..."
He shook his head slightly. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, Menjie could feel that there was really a feeling of depression in Wu Yanzu's heart.
"Compared with yours now, mine is far behind!"
This sentence is absolutely true!
More than a year ago, Wu Yanzu, with his collaboration with Fang Chenglong in "New Police Story", his acting skills successfully broke through to the B-level, and he initially understood the use of temperament. At that time, Menjie was indeed a good actor in terms of temperament.
He is on par with Wu Yanzu, but in terms of acting skills, he is still a step behind.
But now...
Menjie already has B+ level acting skills and the use of advanced temperament and ability, while Wu Yanzu only has B level acting skills at best.
In one year, I have only improved a small level!
If for other stars, they can have a small breakthrough in one year, it is indeed a very gratifying thing and a huge improvement, but compared to Menjie...
It’s really nothing!
"Indeed, Menjie has improved so fast in both strength and popularity. I believe no one would not envy his talent!"
Nodding slightly, Huang Xiaoming on the side also acknowledged Menjie's words.
Wu Yanzu is thirty-two years old this year and has B-level acting skills. Although Huang Xiaoming is not as famous as Wu Yanzu, he is not bad at all.
Even before he reaches 30 years old, he already has B-level acting skills and is very powerful. In a sense, he is even more talented than Wu Yanzu!
After all, up to now, Wu Yanzu has collaborated with many big-name stars, but Huang Xiaoming does not have many excellent works, nor has he collaborated with too many big-name stars.
But even so, Huang Xiaoming still has B-level acting skills and preliminary use of temperament, and he can be regarded as a talented actor.
but……
Compared to being only 22 years old (Men Jie was born in 1985, he is actually 22 years old, so he will be called a fake age from now on), he already has the popularity and strength of a top star, and he is still in the music, film and fashion circles.
They all have good results and unlimited development possibilities.
Even Wu Yanzu and Huang Xiaoming combined may not be able to match such achievements!
"But... Azu, don't envy Menjie. This guy is a monster. No matter what he is, he seems to be born with it. He is an out-and-out genius. We should still be honest and take it one step at a time."
Let’s develop!”
Spreading his hands slightly, Huang Xiaoming said sincerely, "To be honest, our current results are pretty good. If we develop slowly, there will still be a lot of room for progress in the future!"
What Huang Xiaoming said is true. As an actor with a relatively long acting life, as long as he hone his acting skills, he will definitely become more and more prosperous as time goes by!
As female stars get older, they may become less and less valuable as their youth goes by. However, this is not the case for male stars. As they get older, they become more and more like mature men, even if they are four or five years old.
When I was ten years old, I could still be active in the entertainment industry as long as I wanted to.
As long as they are willing, both Huang Xiaoming and Wu Yanzu can continue to develop in the entertainment industry for about 20 years. There is really no need to worry now when their careers are at their peak!
but……
Being able to hear Huang Xiaoming say this, and still be so sincere, without even a hint of hypocrisy, Men Jie's view of Huang Xiaoming really went to a new level!
As a classmate and good friend of Zhao Wei and Chen Kun, who are currently very popular stars, my friends have become so prosperous, but I have not fully developed. If it were a person,
Maybe your peaceful mentality has been broken a long time ago, and you are ready to use all means to find a way to make yourself famous and prosperous.
But Huang Xiaoming is still able to develop steadily and hone his acting skills, which is indeed very difficult!
Men Jie's heart was full of admiration for this, and he felt that as long as Huang Xiaoming could maintain such a mentality and develop in a down-to-earth manner, he would surely become famous in the future!
"It would be great if... I could sign Huang Xiaoming into my company!"
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Menjie's mind, but the next second, he shook his head slightly.
Men Jie once read Huang Xiaoming's personal resume.
Now Huang Xiaoming only has one popular TV series, "The Emperor", which itself is not a big hit.
However, at this time, Huang Xiaoming had already participated in the filming of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Although it has not yet been officially broadcast, no one knows what the specific situation will be.
But Menjie knows that this TV series has been broadcast and will definitely sweep the entire China!
Although it is far from the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" that Menjie invested in and starred in, it is still a rare masterpiece!
In this TV series, Huang Xiaoming, who plays Yang Guo, and Liu Yifei, who plays Xiao Longnu, will become instantly famous throughout China!
After all the planning, there are only less than ten days left before the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is broadcast, right?
Before Huang Xiaoming became popular, it was indeed a good choice to spend huge sums of money to sign him, but Menjie also knew that even if he spent huge sums of money, Huang Xiaoming's agency would hesitate.
After all, the filming of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been completed and is just waiting to be broadcast in the near future. No one will be willing to accept it if they don't see the specific effects.
No matter how much money Menjie spends to poach someone, the other party will still hesitate. As long as he hesitates for a few days, when the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is aired and Huang Xiaoming becomes popular because of it, his net worth will skyrocket!
At that time, it may not be worth it for Menjie to spend a higher price to snatch Huang Xiaoming into his company.
It is precisely for this reason that although Men Jie was extremely tempted and wanted to snatch Huang Xiaoming into his company and become another mainstay, he did not take action.
