Chapter 178
"Qi Jia, Teacher Fan, you two hit it off right away?"
Yang Mi walked behind the two and interrupted them with a smile,
"Oh, Yang Mi, sorry, we were so engrossed in our conversation that we didn't see you." Fan Wei saw that it was Yang Mi and said with a smile,
Yang Mi pulled over a stool and sat down, glanced at the script and exclaimed, "Teacher Fan, what are you talking about? I can't thank you enough."
Then, she looked at Qi Jia and said, "You should learn more from Teacher Fan when you have time, okay?"
After a few pleasantries, Yang Mi formally introduced the middle-aged man next to them to the two,
"Let me introduce you, this is Director Han Yan, who just won the Best Director Award at the Tokyo Film Festival Chinese Film Week this year."
"Hello, Director Han~"
Qi Jia shook hands with the other party politely, without speaking casually, because he was not familiar with Han Yan.
Although Mr. Yang introduced him, he had only been in the industry for a short time and was not familiar with this award.
I didn't pay much attention to it, so I didn't think about what works this director had shot for a while.
However, Fan Wei was different. After all, he was an old actor and knew almost all the awards.
At this moment, after listening to Yang Mi's introduction, he immediately realized it and gave a thumbs up and said,
"Oh, "Animal World" is your work, right? Great, it's well shot!"
After listening to Teacher Fan, Qi Jia also knew who was in front of him.
This person is not only the director of "Animal World",
but also the director of "Go Away! Tumor King", which was very popular in 2015 and scored 7.1 points on Douban.
In the same year, he represented the mainland in the 88th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.
Although he did not win the award in the end, it was enough to prove his talent and ability.
After Han Yan and Fan Wei exchanged a few polite words, they looked at Qi Jia again, with a curious look in their piercing eyes.
"Qi Jia, I've watched both "Dying to Survive" and "Better Days" this year, and I'm deeply touched!
Can I ask what is the most common point you feel for the two characters Liu Beishan and Peng Hao?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Mi complained in her heart, God, why are we talking about the script again!
Qi Jia was stunned, not understanding why Han Yan asked this question? Is this a common problem among great directors?
Although he didn't understand, Qi Jia showed his respect, so he nodded and smiled,
"Of course, if Director Han wants to hear it, then I will briefly talk about it."
Then he organized his words a little and said,
"In fact, although the themes and styles of the two movies are different,
the two characters I played still have many similarities.
But if I have to say, what touched me the most should be the growth and changes of Liu Beishan and Peng Hao.
At first, both of them were small hooligans in society. Everything they did was just to keep themselves alive.
But as the movie progressed, whether it was Liu Beishan's protection of Chen Nian or Peng Hao's relief when facing the choice of life and death,
they all reflected the growth of the two characters in adversity and embodied a spirit of self-sacrifice and helping others..."
.
The two talked more and more deeply, and Han Yan asked some details from time to time.
More than 40 minutes passed,
When the two finished talking, they found that Yang Mi and Fan Wei had left without knowing when.
Han Yan smiled and raised his glass to clink with Qi Jia and said,
"Excuse me, after listening to your analysis, I feel that I have overlooked a lot of details. I have to watch it a few more times when I go back tonight."
Han Yan said this very truthfully, and he really appreciates Qi Jia more and more now.
Because, through Qi Jia's narration just now, combined with his performance in the movie,
Han Yan can feel that there is no technique in Qi Jia's performance, and it is 100% true and sincere!
And if an actor wants to achieve this level, he must spend a lot of time studying the script and figuring out the role.
This is very common among old artists, but young artists like Qi Jia can still do this, which is really admirable.
"Director Han, you are polite. I have benefited a lot from communicating with you." Qi Jia said modestly.
In the interval between the two people chatting, many artists and directors came one after another,
Among them, there are Qi Jia's acquaintances, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Shen Teng, etc.
Seeing Qi Jia was there, several people hurriedly dealt with the media for a few words, and then came over to chat with him.
Han Yan did not stay for long. After adding Qi Jia to each other on WeChat, he stood up and returned to his seat.
As soon as he sat down, a short-haired middle-aged woman at the same table came up and asked him curiously,
"Old Han, what were you talking about with Qi Jia just now? You seemed so happy."
The person asking the question was a famous female producer in China.Yin Lu, the filmmaker,
After listening to this, Han Yan smiled, took a sip of champagne and said, "Nothing, just talked about his views on the two characters Liu Beishan and Peng Hao."
"Why are you asking this?" Yin Lu was a little confused,
Han Yan looked around, leaned close to her ear and whispered,
"Isn't "Send You a Little Red Flower" still missing a male lead?
I found that Qi Jia's Liu Beishan in "Better Days" feels a bit like Wei Yihang,
Just met here, I talked to him and found that he is really a natural actor and has a very thorough understanding of the script!"
Yin Lu looked at Qi Jia, who was chatting with Huang Bo and others, in surprise, then looked at Han Yan and asked,
"So you just told him that you wanted him to play Wei Yihang?"
"No." Han Yan shook her head and continued, "Little Red Flower is the second part of my 'Life Trilogy'. The selection of the male lead must be cautious. This occasion is not suitable for detailed discussion. I plan to make an appointment with him to discuss it in detail tomorrow."
...
On the other side, at the main table,
Old artists such as Chen Baoguo, Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, representatives of the capital side, and several leaders of the association were also talking.
When talking about the increasingly serious phenomenon of young actors in the entertainment industry, the old artists all looked at the representatives of several investors with some dissatisfaction.
Among them, Mr. Li Xuejian knocked on the table and said to Zhang Duo, the representative of Kiwi Film and Television,
"While pursuing traffic, capital cannot ignore the cultivation of artists' artistic ethics.
Look at the group of young actors that you recently selected from the talent show. They have no acting skills at all.
They can only put on makeup, dye their hair and put on earrings. What kind of people are they!"
Although he was criticized in public, Zhang Duo did not dare to question the old man's words in his heart.
Because the old man is not only a national first-class actor, but also the honorary chairman of the China Film Association.
His identity and qualifications are here, and he, a small representative, cannot question them.
Looking up, he saw Li Xiahui, the representative of Penguin, looking at him with gloating, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He could only nod repeatedly and said that he would make corrections when he returned.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiahui took advantage of his misfortune and added fuel to the fire by saying, "Chairman Li, have you heard? Recently, there is a very popular young man on the Internet, named Cai Xukun, who debuted from "Idol Producer". I heard that his fans sent text messages to bombard him in order to vote for him, asking strangers to vote for their idol." Li Xuejian frowned, glared at Zhang Duo and said, "Look, this is the result of being unworthy of your position. If you keep messing around like this, don't blame the country for taking action!" After being scolded again, Zhang Duo glared at Li Xiahui fiercely. Just when he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw Qi Jia not far away. He smiled happily. Isn't the savior here? He immediately pointed at Qi Jia and said to Li Xuejian attentively,
"Chairman Li, we are also rectifying the problems you mentioned.
But not all young artists are useless, and we can't just generalize, right?
For example, Qi Jia is a very good actor among young artists.
I don't know if you have heard that when he was auditioning for a play produced by our company, he acted on the same stage with Qin Hao.
In the end, he snatched the role from Qin Hao, and even the Third Master was very satisfied with his acting skills."
