921 Opportunistic
On the morning of October 7th, Liu Yifei came.
Yesterday morning, at the Xiangshan Film and Television Base, Wang Yuyan's last scene in the TV series "Dragon" was filmed, and she hurriedly got on the train bound for the northwest.
Before leaving, her mother Liu Xiaoli advised her, "Qianxi, let's not go to Chang'an. Your teacher Sun has to go back to school tomorrow anyway."
But Liu Yifei waved her little fist.
No, I have to be there to cheer for Teacher Sun!
Fortunately, she was not late. When Liu Yifei and her mother Liu Xiaoli appeared at the door of the conference room of Tang Furong Garden Hotel, four to five hundred celebrities from the film and television industry from various countries were lining up to enter.
"Hello, Teacher Daoming, I am Liu Yifei, a student of Teacher Sun Hao. I like your plays very much, especially Emperor Kangxi."
"Haha, really?
I also really liked your performance in the movie "Smell of Ghosts", the timid and cowardly little policewoman was played by you very cutely."
"Well, thank you!"
After being praised by Chen Daoming, Liu Yifei's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled.
"Teacher Daoming..."
"Um?"
"Have you been at the screenwriting workshop these days?" Liu Yifei asked.
“Always there!”
"Then..., did our teacher Sun give you a lecture?"
"have!
Almost every day, Director Sun Hao would take time to chat with everyone about his experience in film script creation." The queue waiting to enter was a bit long, and Chen Daoming was bored, so he was very happy to chat with the cute little girl behind him.
"What were they talking about?"
"Haha... It seems that you admire your teacher Sun very much?" Chen Daoming answered the question incorrectly.
"Of course!
Teacher Sun is so talented, and all the girls in our class like him very much." Liu Yifei replied crisply.
"Well..." Chen Daoming nodded thoughtfully, and then said:
"Actually, speaking of it, we actors should listen to your teacher Sun Hao's experience in script creation.
The first lesson Sun Hao taught to more than 200 domestic and foreign screenwriters was how to judge whether they have a particularly high talent in the profession of screenwriting, because talent in literary creation is often more important than hard work.
Well, Liu Yifei, for example, if you meet a half-clothed beggar on the road, what would you think of?"
"Teacher Daoming, are you asking me?" Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose slightly.
"right!"
"I'm thinking... should I find a steamed stuffed bun shop nearby and buy him some food, and then give him one or two hundred yuan and let him buy some clothes for himself. It's going to be winter soon, so I can save more money.
I'm freezing myself." Liu Yifei looked worried, as if she really saw a half-clothed beggar begging along the street.
However, Chen Daoming shook his head gently.
"Liu Yifei, according to your teacher Sun, with your brainpower, it is difficult to be an actor, let alone a screenwriter, unless you encounter a role that suits your true nature."
"Well…"
Liu Yifei was a little confused.
It seems that Teacher Sun Hao also said something similar to himself before, saying that when he chooses a role, it is best if the characteristics of the character are consistent with his own personality.
"Then...Teacher Dao Ming, what would a person who is extremely talented in literary creation think of when he sees this beggar?" Liu Yifei shook her little head and asked.
"uncertain!
And your teacher Sun Hao only gave a few examples.
For example, if someone sees a beggar with clothes covering his body, he will think, was this guy robbed last night, and didn't even leave him a belt?"
"ah…"
"For example, when someone sees a beggar wearing half-cloth, they will think, is this guy a bad gambler? He lost his house, land, wife, and children. Now, he is beaten like this by his creditor, even his clothes are gone.
If you don’t give them clothes, let them roam the streets?”
"Well…"
"Well, also, your teacher Sun said that if you are a very talented actor, you will naturally judge whether this guy is acting when you see a half-clothed beggar?
There is mud between the fingernails and the hair is greasy, but it's okay. I can give nine points for this image. The clothes are torn and regular, as if someone cut them with scissors. A negative review, and the grooming is not up to standard, I can give a maximum of two points..."
"Character Analysis!"
Before Chen Daoming finished speaking, Liu Yifei shouted out.
"Haha..." Chen Daoming laughed: "Yes, director Sun Hao said that extremely talented actors are basically doing character analysis all the time, and this behavior is as if it is engraved in their own bones.
In this way, when she presents the characters in front of the camera, the characters and the actors themselves will become natural."
The two of them were chatting when they arrived at the door of the conference room.
Since they were at the end of the queue, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, her daughter, and Chen Daoming basically sat at the end of the conference room.
But it doesn't matter, because at this time, a super large projection screen has been placed on the back wall of the conference room rostrum.
"Cough cough cough..."
As soon as the three of them sat down in the back row of the conference room, Han Shanye's figure appeared on the projection screen. He was standing at the podium table, scanning the audience.
"Good morning to all guests and friends, after five days of intense creation, the movie script created by director Sun Hao and Quentin Tarantino is now in my hands.
I just took a brief look at the synopsis of the story, and it can be said to be very exciting. Both directors' masterpieces are very exciting.
And what about me?
Without further ado, first of all, I would like to invite director Quentin Tarantino, who came all the way from afar, to explain his film script "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"!"
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood…
Chen Daoming frowned when he heard this name.
"Quentin Tarantino seems a bit opportunistic?"
"Oh... Teacher Daoming, what do you mean by this?" Liu Yifei has been following Sun Hao's teachings, and she will ask if she doesn't understand.
"The contest between Sun Hao and Quentin Tarantino will be judged by representatives of the eight major film and television companies in Hollywood. These eight representatives will make value judgments based on the story, artistry and commercial prospects of the movie scripts they created, and they will be awarded
The "higher bid" wins.
And Quentin Tarantino named his movie script "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Isn't this a hint to the people in Hollywood that remember, we are in the same group?
?
Of course, writing about Hollywood is more likely to resonate with Time Warner, 20th Century Fox, DreamWorks and many other companies."
"Eh..., it's really like this!"
Liu Yifei, who was quite happy at first, was filled with worry for a moment after hearing what Chen Daoming said.
However, at this time, Chen Daoming took out the simultaneous interpretation headphones from the table in front of him.
"Girl, don't you need this? Quentin Tarantino is about to start telling a story?"
"Thank you, Teacher Daoming, no need, I listen to the original sound better." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you stayed in the United States for many years before." At this point, Chen Daoming shook his head and put on the simultaneous interpretation headphones.
At this time, Hollywood film director Quentin Tarantino, who stepped onto the podium, had already begun his speech.
"Hello, screenwriter friends from all over the world, I am Quentin Tarantino, and now I will talk to you about the story I thought of, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
In 1969, the social unrest and the rise of rebellious culture in Los Angeles, the collapse of the old film system and concepts, the booming television industry, and the impact of new European films all hit Hollywood at that time like a violent storm.
Amid such changes, washed-up action movie actor Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth struggled to become famous in a Hollywood they were no longer familiar with.
