This actor has something
Chapter 487 New Song
Chapter 487 New Song
The sweltering heat isn't just in the height of summer, but also in people's hearts.
The film set was still noisy at night. The shots being filmed today were quite important, and Feng Xiaogang had hired a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women as extras. Right now, the assistant director was assigning tasks to them one by one.
"Perform it for me first."
"Save the penguins..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Feng Kuzi slapped his forehead and couldn't help but interrupt.
Sad people...
What does it mean to have empty eyes? This is what it means to have empty eyes!
"Director Feng, I'm sorry, but Xiao Zhang hasn't studied acting before, so you'll have to give him a lot of guidance." Seeing that Feng Kuzi's expression was off, the agent immediately approached with a forced smile.
"You... never mind, let her practice more."
Feng Kuzi glanced at Ge You and Sun Honglei, who were snickering not far away, and instantly felt it was pointless. He casually waved his hand and walked towards the two onlookers.
Zhang Xinyu knew that her performance was rather mediocre, and now she looked embarrassed and a little lost.
"Don't worry, you're just making a cameo appearance in two scenes. It's okay if you don't perform well. If you act too well, you'll draw the spotlight from the main character. It's fine as it is now."
Clearly, this agent knows how to comfort people.
"I'll definitely find an acting coach when I get back!"
"Let me find one for you."
As the two were talking, they noticed a group of extras not far away whispering in one direction. Zhang Xinyu turned her head to look and her eyes lit up instantly.
She recognized the person who came; it was Lu Han from the Asia-Yue Twins.
The movie "Jinling Photo Studio" starring Ning Hao is currently very popular and is still showing in theaters. Lu Han is the lead actor. Although he is not as famous as Zhang Jiashuai, the other Asian and Vietnamese twin, it is said that the higher-ups of Asian and Vietnamese entertainment have plans to vigorously cultivate these two and make them roughly the same level of fame.
Zhang Xinyu was a little excited!
Although her agency has some influence in the industry, it can't compare to Ya Yue. If she could manage to seduce Lu Han...
Unfortunately, she interrupted herself as soon as the thought popped into her head, because she saw four assistants following closely behind Lu Han, two men and two women. They were obviously professionals, all closely following Lu Han while observing the people around them.
Well, judging by this situation, if I just move forward a little, Asia and Vietnam will probably have all my information in less than half an hour. I'd better not go looking for trouble.
"Xiao Lu, come over here." Sun Honglei waved to Lu Han from a distance of two or three meters.
When Lu Han got closer, he smiled and introduced, "This is Teacher Ge You, and this is Director Feng. Director Feng asked me to contact you so that you can come and play a cameo role."
"Hello, Teacher Ge You. Hello, Director Feng." Lu Han quickly greeted them.
"This child is too polite," Ge You replied with a smile.
"Haha, Xiao Lu, do you remember when we met before? I was there the day Ning Hao and the others started filming their movie, but you only made a brief appearance and left, so we didn't say hello." Feng Kuzi grinned and patted Lu Han's arm.
"I'm sorry, Director Feng, the company had other plans for that day, so I didn't have a chance to get to know you."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Uncle Ge is right, you're just too polite. I heard you're also from Beijing? Be more generous, don't imitate the Koreans." Feng Kuzi said "don't be polite" but he was secretly pleased, clearly enjoying Lu Han's words.
"As you wish. By the way, Director Feng, Teacher He might be coming over later. He called me when I arrived and heard that I was on my way here. He said he would come to see me later and also check on you and Teacher Ge You."
Watching Sun Honglei introduce Lu Han, and Lu Han quickly chatting and laughing with Feng Kuzi and the others, Zhang Xinyu was filled with envy.
Why isn't Asia Pacific hiring anymore? I heard that even Wong Jing-hua's artist management company isn't hiring anymore. It's like some people are starving while others are overfed.
"Stop looking, you'll be a big star someday too." The manager also looked at Lu Han's four assistants with envy, thinking that those assistants were better than him, the manager.
"I know, from now on... I'm He Daqi! He Daqi is here!" Zhang Xinyu exclaimed in surprise before she could even finish stating her ambition!
Forget about her agent, she joined the group of extras and rushed towards He Daqi, who had just joined the crew.
"Daqi, I'm your fan!"
"Daqi, could you please sign your autograph?"
"Great opening! Great opening! Number one in the world!"
Wow! He Daqi was now at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He had just returned from India. He hadn't even been off the plane for half an hour. After calling Zhou Huimin, he called Lu Han again, wanting to talk to Lu Han about something. He heard that Feng Kuzi's film crew was not far from the airport, so he decided to stop by and visit the set.
I never expected that Feng Xiaogang would invite so many young extras today. The key is that there are quite a few of his own die-hard fans among them. He Daqi has already seen several familiar faces.
"Keep your voices down, keep your voices down. I'll hand out autographed photos to you all later. I'm here to visit the set today, so please don't crowd around me and disrupt Director Feng's filming."
Having not been surrounded by fans for a long time, He Daqi smiled and gave his fans a few words of advice. Strangely enough, the fans who had been so eager to squeeze closer to He Daqi immediately quieted down after his casual remark. Although they were still looking at He Daqi with those same enthusiastic eyes, they obediently made way and slowly returned to their original positions.
This made Zhang Xinyu, who was standing still, stand out too much.
Zhang Xinyu was stunned and stood there at a loss. Why did these people suddenly disperse?
He Daqi noticed her, assuming she was just there for the fun of it. As he passed by Zhang Xinyu, He Daqi gestured to Qin Hu, who then gave Zhang Xinyu an autographed photo. He Daqi then walked towards Feng Kuzi and his group with a smile.
As I walked, I sighed inwardly. The world was becoming increasingly strange, or perhaps I was becoming increasingly strange myself.
"Da Qi, what a rare guest! How long has it been since you visited my film set?"
Feng Kuzi laughed so hard his wrinkles appeared. He enthusiastically came over and took He Daqi's arm. He could show off in front of Lu Han, but he couldn't do it in front of He Daqi. The difference in their status was too great now.
"Director Feng, you're teasing me. If you put it that way, then I'll definitely come to visit the set whenever your crew starts filming." He Daqi laughed heartily, nodding to Ge You, Sun Honglei, and Lu Han.
Originally, He Daqi only wanted to stop by and say something to Lu Han, but he didn't expect that Feng Kuzi and Ge You were particularly good at chatting. He Daqi chatted with them for a long time before he remembered his business and pulled Lu Han to find a corner.
"From now on, if I run into someone from Beijing, I'll get straight to the point and stop with the small talk. I accidentally started talking about the oil war just now!"
Lu Han was confused by He Daqi's muttering and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher He, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
He Daqi shook his head and got down to business. "It's nothing much. I came to see you today mainly about three things. First, I wrote a Korean song, and I need you and Zhang Jiashuai to record it together."
The second thing is that when I went to India, there was no cell phone signal there. I brought a lot of novels with me, and one of them, which I thought was pretty good, is called "Hello, Old Times." I think it could be adapted into a TV series. You should check it out when you have time; you could play the male lead.
One last thing, I've started a new variety show, which will probably begin filming around October this year. You'll be one of the regular guests. You and your assistant should discuss it and make sure you clear your schedule for me.
"Okay, Teacher He."
……
……
The consecutive releases of Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War" and Ning Hao's "The Photo Studio of Nanjing" are quite distressing for some people.
Ning Hao's attempt to sow discord was very successful, finally eliciting a few sarcastic remarks from someone. This was exactly what Ning Hao wanted, and he didn't hold back, showering the person with sweet words.
A respectable person values face, and Ning Hao's immediate and powerful attack broke the opponent's defenses. The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch.
He Daqi found the verbal battle hilarious. Ning Hao was utterly uncivilized, not only bringing Lu Yang along for help, but also including Ya Yue and his bunch of junior directors who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. He relied on sheer numbers, with twenty or thirty people attacking the other side.
"So you're all from Beijing Film Academy, right? I'm from Beijing Film Academy too! You still have to call me senior brother!"
Since they'd already said all that, Ning Hao couldn't vent his anger any longer. The main reason was that as soon as the news got out, Ning Hao immediately received a call from his former homeroom teacher.
If his homeroom teacher hadn't recommended him to Ma Yingjun, who then recommended him to He Daqi, Ning Hao wouldn't have the status he has now.
A top director in Asia, he produces big-budget productions year after year, and he's incredibly happy with his director's share of the profits.
So you chickened out?
"What do you mean I'm a coward! Several of my teachers called me, otherwise I would have definitely berated him so badly he couldn't take care of himself."
So you chickened out after all?
He Daqi is quite skilled at wielding the torch.
Unfortunately, Ning Hao wasn't fooled and immediately retorted irritably, "Get lost! Don't get in my way!"
"What are you saying? Didn't you invite me here today? You told me to get lost after only a few words? If that's how you treat people, then I'm really leaving!"
He Daqi got up to leave, but Ning Hao rolled his eyes and stopped him.
"Finish your business before you leave. It's still about the special effects. The special effects team said that some of the special effects we have later are not well designed. Can you take a look and think about how to fix them?"
"Okay, I see."
He Daqi got up and gave Ning Hao's head a cheeky ruffle, retaliating for the smirk he'd received. Then, laughing, he quickly ran off, much to Ning Hao's anger, who grabbed an empty water bottle and threw it at him.
They didn't lose anything, but instead attracted a barrage of insults from He Daqi.
Filming for "Phantom Prison Break" has been underway for almost three months, and it's already in post-production.
The filming time for this movie won't be too long, mainly because the special effects production time is long. Even if it's filmed and produced on the spot, it's estimated that it will take at least half a year to do the special effects after filming is completed. And that's considered a short time, because the special effects of this movie may not even be a third of Avatar's.
He Daqi spent more than an hour communicating with the special effects team. He mainly talked about tips and tricks while they learned. He even demonstrated them on his laptop. Once he saw that the special effects team members understood, He Daqi got up and started wandering around the set.
Green screens were everywhere, even the large, separate room in the studio was entirely painted green, all to facilitate post-production special effects chroma keying and background additions.
The extras had a strong sense of conviction. Even though there was nothing around them, they would make random gestures as if they were actually performing a skill. The wires used for the stunts were very thin and specially dyed green, suspending the extras as they flew around the studio.
He Daqi was enjoying himself when his cell phone rang.
"Hey?"
"Teacher He, we've arrived at the recording studio. How long do you expect to take to get there?"
Oh no! I forgot about something else!
"You guys take a look at the sheet music first. I'm a little delayed by something, I'll be there in about an hour."
The crew of "Phantom Prison Break" is located in the northern suburbs, while the studio is in the southern district. The route involves passing through the city center, and without a doubt, it will be stuck in traffic for most of the day. Saying that it takes an hour to get there is already considered fast.
He Daqi hung up the phone, hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Yang and Ning Hao, and then quickly left the film set.
Despite rushing, it still took more than an hour to arrive.
Lu Han and Zhang Jiashuai weren't in a hurry, but of course, even if they were, it wouldn't make a difference.
"Teacher He." X2
"Sorry to have kept you both waiting," He Daqi said cheerfully.
"It's alright, Teacher He, we can just practice a bit beforehand," Lu Han replied, and Zhang Jiashuai nodded in agreement.
He Daqi didn't linger. After greeting the sound engineer, he led Lu Han and Zhang Jiashuai into the recording studio.
“This song is quite simple. You two know Korean and have also learned rap, so I’m going to record three versions. One version for each of you, and then you two can record one version with me. If you’re going to become singers and have a concert, you can use this song to open the show. Let’s record my version first.”
Lu Han nodded and Zhang Jiashuai hummed in agreement, then stood on either side of He Daqi and put on their headphones.
He Daqi also put on his headphones and saw the sound engineer on the other side of the glass holding a microphone asking, "Are you ready?" He made an OK gesture, the sound engineer nodded, and then music started playing in He Daqi's headphones.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
"Oppa Gangnam Style!"
Unfortunately, the ideal teamwork lacked synergy.
The first line was off-key, and the sound engineer and producer outside happily paused the recording, pointing out with the microphone: "The three of you are not on the same wavelength. Zhang Jiashuai is a beat too fast, Lu Han is in the middle, and Da Qi, you are the slowest. You should all follow Lu Han's rhythm. Also, the tuning is wrong. None of you three are right. Let's record it like this for now. If it doesn't work, we'll correct you one by one."
"I'm sorry, Teacher He, I was too fast," Zhang Jiashuai immediately apologized.
"I was too slow... Don't be embarrassed, we'll have a lot to work out today. Luckily, the three of us don't have many lyrics to sing together, so let's start by practicing our chemistry with the first line."
"Okay, Teacher He." X2
Since learning the singing skill, He Daqi hasn't recorded a song this tiringly in a long time. Fortunately, all three of them have a foundation, but they lack chemistry. They stumbled and only managed to record four or five lines all afternoon, spending almost an hour just on the first line.
