Millennium director
Chapter 6 Launch Party
In 2000, Gao Yuanyuan was not very famous. After all, "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", which affected her acting career, had not even been filmed yet.
However, the weekly news these days is already famous.
Although Zhou Xun is not a major, among the three major professional colleges in China, Zhou Xun can be said to be one of the most famous film actors at the moment.
Because the mainland movie that everyone discussed the most in the school this year is "Suzhou River"!
Although this movie has not yet been officially released, and there is a high probability that it will not be released in the mainland, students from Beijing Film Academy, China Opera, and Shanghai Opera have already watched the movie through various means.
This is the best film at the Paris International Film Festival!
Zhou Xun won the Best Actress!
Although it is not the top three, in this era, every movie that can win European film festival awards will cause a sensation!
Well, this is thanks to the effect of the fifth-generation mainland directors who have dominated European film festivals.
Of course, not only in professional circles, but also to the general public, Zhou Xun is a cornerstone.
In the historical series "Da Ming Gong Ci" aired in March, Zhou Xun played the role of "Princess Taiping", which successfully made her a household name.
Although this drama is more successful in Chen Hong who plays the adult Princess Taiping, yes, she is the great director Chen Kaige's wise wife.
However, Zhou Xun will have another movie "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" to be aired next year, and by then she will really soar into the sky.
On the way here, Wu Yuan heard from Wang Xiaoshuai that the most famous actor in the whole crew only came to play a supporting actress with a small role, but she got the second highest salary in the whole crew, 8,000 yuan!
Well, Wang Xiaoshuai found it too expensive. She was not Wu Yuan, the leading actor and a crew member. Her scenes could be filmed in three to five days at most, and she was paid so much. She was the most expensive actor he had ever hired. 6̾̾
When Wu Yuan heard Wang Xiaoshuai's complaint, his heart was unmoved and he even wanted to laugh.
The year 2000 was a very delicate year, between the turn of the new century and before the changes in the film and television industry.
In recent years, when making a movie, the actors' salary is generally only three to five thousand yuan, and it is already a high salary.
In the nine years from 1994 to 2002, the domestic movie box office was extremely cold. The film industry was in a deep winter. From directors to actors, most of them could not make much money, and the overall environment was even losing money.
But just this year, a small thing happened in the film industry - China Film, Shanghai Film, and Changying were conglomerated at the same time this year, and were given the mission of fully controlling the three major aspects of production, distribution, and screening.
Next year, another thing that seemed trivial at the time will happen. In order to speed up the progress of theater chain establishment and theater renovation, private enterprise capital will be allowed to become shareholders.
By 2003, a very important new rule that would even change the fate of Chinese films was finally implemented—private capital from non-film industries was allowed to invest in the film industry!
Also starting from this year, actors' net worth will skyrocket. Every year, actors' salaries are increasing several times!
Two or three years after the new regulations were released, Zhou Xun's salary for a TV series would be 100,000 yuan per episode, ranking second among mainland actresses, and a movie would cost 70,000 to 800,000 yuan!
At this time, Wang Xiaoshuai can hire Zhou Xun to act in a movie for 8,000 yuan, which is really a bargain price.
At least 8,000 yuan now is really not worth 800,000 yuan in four or five years. Even if it is used to buy a house, the value will not appreciate so fast!
Wang Xiaoshuai didn't know, he even thought it was expensive, but Wu Yuan was really greedy for such cheap Zhou Xun!
Actors these days don't have a good tone to speak of. They can be summoned with just a phone call, and they are willing to act when there is a role. They are especially easy to talk to!
If it weren't for the lack of money, Wu Yuan would have wanted to take Zhou Xun's hand and sign a ten-film contract with her right away!
It's a pity that a clever woman can't make a meal without rice!
"Come on, let me introduce to you. This is the male protagonist of our movie, Wu Yuan who plays Xiao Jian.
Just when Wu Yuan was lost in thought, Wang Xiaoshuai grabbed his arm, pulled him from behind to in front of him, and introduced him in a brisk tone: "This is my junior at the film school. He is a junior at the film school after the summer vacation." ”
"Even though he is so handsome, he is my direct junior in the directing department, not the acting department!"
Zhou Xun, who was also looking at Wu Yuan seriously, suddenly slapped his thigh in sudden confusion: "Oh! I know you are the director who sells pirated discs everywhere, right?"
"I heard Kun'er talk about you. You are a big celebrity in our school!"
Wu Yuan chuckled awkwardly. Sure enough, Brother Xun was still the same Brother Xun. Although it was the first time they met, he wouldn't be so careless about it, but his outspoken character was still very direct.
"Yes, it's me, the one selling pirated discs in Dongcheng." Wu Yuan replied dryly. For the first time, he felt regretful about selling pirated discs.
If five or ten years later, this man gets involved and becomes a big director in China, this will not be mentioned as a dark history by Zhou Xun everywhere!
Although Zhou Xun is not a big talker, but with her straight-talking and fast-talking character, she knows that she is selling pirated discs. Sooner or later, everyone in her circle of friends will know about it, and they will even become friends every time. The joke was told at the party!
Zhou Xun smiled and looked up and down at Wu Yuan curiously. She had really heard about Wu Yuan from Chen Kun.
The circle of film school is really not big. When Wu Yuan enrolled, Chen Kun was just in his junior year.
Honestly, knowing Chen Kun's future development in his dream, how could Wu Yuan not be friends with this senior from the acting department?
With Wu Yuan's deliberate friendship, two years were enough for Wu Yuan and Chen Kun to become relatively good friends.
Zhou Xun has just finished filming "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", in which she has the most opposite roles with Chen Kun. The two have become good friends because of this drama, and their friendship will last forever.
"Brother Kun, you really talk about everything, and I have to mention this embarrassing thing to you." Wu Yuan spread his hands and laughed at himself helplessly.
In this room, Wu Yuan and Zhou Xun struck up a conversation, but the other two actors next to them couldn't get in the conversation at all. They stood there hesitantly, not knowing what to say.
They are not like Wu Yuan and Zhou Xun. One has 20 years more experience than the others, and the other has a cheerful and generous personality.
However, Wu Yuan was not someone who ignored people. After briefly chatting with Zhou Xun in the name of his mutual friend Chen Kun, he took the initiative to turn around and shake hands with the other two actors.
"Hello, my name is Wu Yuan. I play the role of "Xiao Jian" in this drama. I am 18 years old. You can call me Xiao Wu or A Yuan."
Facing Wu Yuan's extended hand, Gao Yuanyuan and Cui Lin shook hands with him one after another, and also introduced themselves:
"Hello, my name is Gao Yuanyuan. I play the role of Xiaojian's girlfriend Xiaoxiao in the play."
"Hello, I'm Cui Lin, I play Xiaogui in the movie."
Neither of them are extroverts.
Gao Yuanyuan was relatively shy and quiet when we first met her. She did not come from a major, but studied economics. She was discovered by an advertising company while shopping and made her debut in commercials. She has acted in one movie and three TV series, but they were all supporting roles.
Cui Lin, on the other hand, was very nervous. He was a true newcomer and had never even been exposed to the job of an actor. He was attracted by Wang Xiaoshuai's assistant director at the Beijing Sports Institute and was roped in to act.
When Wang Xiaoshuai saw that he was very dark-skinned, and that he came to the capital from a small city in Northeast China, he was a serious country boy, and he had the taste of a noble person in the script, so he made the decision.
It's also interesting to say that there are four main actors in "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle", but none of them has a serious acting background. Wu Yuan, who studied directing, is actually the closest professional.
But in terms of acting skills, it must be Zhou Xun.
After all, this is a God-forcing-to-eat-the-food type of contestant, full of talent and acting skills!
The four leading actors came together to introduce themselves to each other and talk about their specific situations. This was considered to be acquaintance with each other.
It's okay. Actors in this era are all simple, and there is no talk of being a fan or a celebrity. In addition, they are all young people, so it is easy to chat when they get together.
Wang Xiaoshuai saw that the atmosphere of his "four young generals"'s first meeting was very harmonious. He nodded with great satisfaction, picked up a glass of wine and saluted everyone in the box:
"Okay, today we gathered here and had this meal. The crew of the movie "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" has been officially established!"
"We will officially start work tomorrow!"
