Chapter 178 The Savior Arrives (Ch 178)

“Qi Jia, Teacher Fan, do you two hit it off right away?”

Yang Mi walked behind the two of them and interrupted them with a smile.

“Hey, Yang Mi, sorry, we were so engrossed in our conversation that we didn’t see you.” Seeing that it was Yang Mi, Fan Wei smiled and said,

Yang Mi pulled a stool over and sat down. She 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 study more with Teacher Fan when you have time, okay?”

After a few pleasantries, Yang Mi formally introduced the middle-aged man next to him to the two of them.

“Let me introduce you. This is Director Han Yanhan. She 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 and did not speak anything because he was not familiar with Han Yan.

Although Boss Yang introduced it, he has only been in the industry for a short time and is not familiar with this award.

I didn’t pay much attention to it, so I didn’t think about what works this director had filmed.

But Fan Wei is different. After all, he is a veteran actor and knows a lot about various awards.

At this moment, after listening to Yang Mi’s introduction, he immediately understood, gave a thumbs up and said,

“Oh, Animal World is your work, right? Great! It’s very well shot!”

After listening to Teacher Fan’s words, Qi Jia also recognized who was in front of him.

This is not only the director of “Animal World”,

He is also the director of the 2015 hit “Go Away Tumor Man”, which received a Douban score of 7.1.

In the same year, it represented the mainland in the competition for the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 88th Academy Awards.

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, their bright eyes flickering with curiosity.

“Qi Jia, I watched both of your films “Dying to Survive” and “Better Days” this year, and they touched me deeply!

Can I ask what is the common point you feel most deeply about the two characters, Liu Beishan and Peng Hao? “

As soon as these words came out, Yang Mi complained in her heart, Oh my God, why do we have to talk 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, he had nothing to do anyway, so Qi Jia showed his respect and nodded and smiled.

“Of course, if Director Han wants to hear it, then I will just briefly explain it.”

Then he organized his words a little and said,

“In fact, although the two films have different themes and styles,

But there are still many similarities between the two characters I played.

But what impressed me most was probably the growth and changes of Liu Beishan and Peng Hao.

At first, both of them were small hooligans in society, and everything they did was just to keep themselves alive.

But as the film progresses, whether it is Liu Beishan’s protection of Chen Nian or Peng Hao’s relief when facing the choice of life and death,

Both reflect the growth of the two characters in adversity and embody a spirit of self-sacrifice and helping others…”

.

The two chatted more and more deeply, and Han Yan asked about some details from time to time.

More than forty minutes passed.

After the two finished chatting, they found that Yang Mi and Fan Wei had left at some point.

Han Yan smiled and raised her glass to clink with Qi Jia and said,

“Excuse me, after listening to your analysis, I feel like I overlooked a lot of details. I have to read it a few more times when I go back tonight.”

What Han Yan said was very truthful. He now admired Qi Jia even more.

Because, just now through Qi Jia’s narration, combined with his performance in the movie,

Han Yan could feel that there was no technique in Qi Jia’s performance; it was 100% genuine emotion!

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 veteran artists, but it is really admirable that young artists like Qi Jia can still do this.

“Director Han, you’re too polite. I have benefited a lot from communicating with you.” Qi Jia said modestly.

In between their conversations, many artists and directors came one after another.

Among them were Qi Jia’s acquaintances, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng and Shen Teng.

Seeing Qi Jia was there, a few people hurriedly dealt with the media and then came over to chat with him.

Han Yan didn’t stay long. After adding Qi Jia to each other on WeChat, she got up and returned to her seat.

As soon as he sat down, a middle-aged woman with short hair came up to him 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 is Yin Lu, a famous female producer in China.

After listening to this, Han Yan smiled, took a sip of champagne and said, “Nothing much, 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 lacking a male lead?

I found that Qi Jia’s Liu Beishan in “Better Days” has a bit of Wei Yihang’s feeling.

I happened to meet him here, so I chatted with him and found that he is 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 careful. This occasion is not suitable for a detailed discussion. I plan to make an appointment with him tomorrow to discuss it in detail.”

…

On the other side, on the main table,

Veteran artists such as Chen Baoguo, Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, representatives of investors, and several leaders of the association were also in conversation.

When talking about the increasingly serious phenomenon of young and handsome actors in the entertainment industry, the veteran artists all looked at the representatives of the investors with some dissatisfaction.

Among them, Mr. Li Xuejian knocked on the table and said to Zhang Duo, the representative of Kiwi Films,

“While pursuing traffic, capital cannot ignore the cultivation of artists’ artistic ethics.

Look at the group of young actors that came out of your recent talent shows. They have no acting skills at all.

They only know how to 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 at all.

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 there, and they are not something that a small representative like him can question.

I looked up and saw Li Xiahui, the representative of Penguin, looking at me with a gloating look. I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

He could only nod repeatedly and said that he would make corrections when he got back.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiahui took advantage of his misfortune and added fuel to the fire by saying,

“Chairman Li, have you heard? There is a very popular young man on the Internet recently, named Cai Xukun.

He debuted from “Idol Producer”. I heard that his fans voted for him.

They also bombarded me with text messages, asking strangers to vote for their idols.”

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 and was about to say something.

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he saw Qi Jia not far away. He immediately smiled. Wasn’t his savior here?

He immediately pointed at Qi Jia and said to Li Xuejian earnestly,

“Chairman Li, we are also rectifying the problems you mentioned.

But not all young artists are useless, so we can’t generalize them, right?

For example, Qi Jia is a very good actor among young artists.

I wonder if you have heard that he was auditioning for a play produced by our company and acted on the same stage with Qin Hao.

In the end, he snatched the role away from Qin Hao, and even the Third Master was very satisfied with his acting skills. “
