Chapter 454 Jing Tian's Guest Appearance

Actors have a love-hate relationship with Good Production Network's personal project rating system.

What I love is that if the personal ratings are impressive and the work has good performance, the actor's profile on the good production website will look very good, and the possibility of attracting attention from large agencies and receiving good projects will be greatly increased.

What I hate is that with the rating system, those big stars have to be more restrained in the crew.

Among them, there is naturally no need to worry about those celebrity actors who have good personalities, are relatively dedicated to their work, and have decent professional abilities. After all, their popularity will definitely not be much worse.

However, those new traffic stars who are not good at their jobs, seniors in the industry who have bad tempers and like to act like big shots, and big names who have a poor work attitude, often overlap with other projects and are late, naturally have to be cautious.

Yes, some people can indeed rely on the support of capital to ignore this rating system and continue to do their own thing in the crew, but behind this rating system is the Good Production Network.

Today, there are more than 30 registered users on HaoZhaoPian.com who have undergone real-name authentication.

Don't underestimate this number. According to statistics from the radio, television and radio departments, there were only more than 2014 people working in the national film and television industry in 80.

These 80 people certainly do not include extras and the most grassroots practitioners in the industry, but the 30 people on HaoZuoPian.com, which accounts for more than one-third of the total number of people, are definitely within these 80 people, and most of them are elites in the film and television industry.

For example, the leading actors of "Ball Lightning", Wang Zhiwen, Wang Jinsong, Bai Jingting, Wan Qian, as well as the art, lighting, photography, makeup, props and other staff behind the scenes of the crew, are all registered users of Haozhipian.com.

When they take on a project nowadays, they often subconsciously go to the Good Production Network to collect information about the project, such as the financial status of the project's investment company, what projects it has produced in the past, whether the performance of the work is good or bad, and what its reputation is among peers.

In addition, there is also the professional ability level of the behind-the-scenes members of the project crew, who is the director, who is the screenwriter, and who are the actors.

Whether in front of or behind the scenes, they naturally want to work with better people to create better film and television works and add luster to their archival data.

At this time, some people can indeed be supported by capital, but those behind the scenes or supporting roles who have confidence will be more or less worried about the bad reputation of these people and choose not to join this project.

Without the participation of these outstanding talents, the possibility of project failure will often increase greatly, so capital will instead consider the impact of the production network rating system.

In addition, Good Production Network is backed by the Galaxy Group and is endorsed by the great director Wang Hao. Unless they do not want to participate in the Galaxy Group's projects, they have to pay attention to Good Production Network.

The changes that followed were that the overall atmosphere of the domestic film and television industry had improved to a certain extent. Many things became more standardized and more friendly to newcomers.

For example, in the current crew of "Ball Flash", Wang Zhiwen, who just finished filming, did not show any arrogance towards Li Jian and Bai Jingting, and behaved very friendly and amiable.

Especially after hearing Li Jian's questions about performance, Wang Zhiwen was generous with his guidance and immediately gave his understanding of the young Dr. Chen.

"You are trapped in the obstacle of knowledge and understanding. The Dr. Chen I play is not the Dr. Chen when he was young.

A person, or a character, a good character, must have the potential for growth, which we call a character arc in our industry.”

Wang Zhiwen was both telling Li Jian and giving a hint to Bai Jingting who was also listening attentively on the side.

“Since the character has an arc, growth, and change, the performances at different stages naturally have to adapt to the character’s situation at different stages.

For example, the character of Dr. Chen. You have read the script and you should know that the series of events he experienced had a great impact on his thoughts, emotions and cognition.

The character I play is Dr. Chen, an older man who, after experiencing this series of influences, has seen through the existing operating rules of society and is more insightful and calm.

But you are different. The character you play, Dr. Chen, has not experienced those things yet, or is experiencing them right now, so you don't need to imitate me.

You play the young Dr. Chen, not me who plays Dr. Chen.

This is also why I didn’t interact with you much before.”

After Wang Zhiwen said this, Li Jian suddenly understood.

He was a little surprised before, feeling that Wang Zhiwen's attitude towards him was a little distant. He thought it was just the other person's personality, or maybe it was because he played the young Dr. Chen and stole his role. He didn't expect that the real reason why the other party was distant from him was this.

"I understand, Mr. Wang."

Li Jian's originally somewhat nervous mood finally relaxed a little. At this time, Wang Zhiwen's rest was over and he started working again. Wang Jinsong took over his teacher's work and continued to instruct the two young actors:

“What Mr. Wang said just now is not bad, but while you are listening to his words, you still have to be careful.

The fact that characters behave differently at different ages does not mean that there is no inherent logical connection at the underlying level.

We often say that everything in the past has made you who you are today, so through your present you can infer everything that has made you who you are today.

It’s true that the character arc has changes, but there is also continuity. Many of the characteristics of adults have actually been revealed when they were young, and you must also grasp this.”

Although what Wang Zhiwen and Wang Jinsong said were different, Li Jian and Bai Jingting both listened to them because what they said were not completely contradictory, but just two different sides of the same story.

"Of course, this is just our humble opinion. When it comes to acting, everyone has their own understanding."

Wang Jinsong smiled slightly, and with his Ding Yi outfit at the moment, he really had an extraordinary demeanor, showing the style of an industry leader.

“Generally speaking, movies like this that show the growth of characters are the most challenging for actors.

Many directors like to let one actor play out a character's entire life. This has its advantages: the performance will be more coherent and it will be difficult for the audience to be distracted.

But Director Wang has his reasons for letting you play the younger version of the character. After all, no matter how outstanding an actor's acting skills are, it is difficult to really show the psychological changes over a period of time.

No matter how powerful the makeup or special effects are, it is difficult for us to perform true youthfulness, and it is also difficult for you to show maturity or even old age.

So just do your best to play your roles, and as for the balance, I think Director Wang will definitely be able to handle it well."

With the advice from their predecessors, the two young actors felt much more relaxed. Of course, Wan Qian, who is also a young actor, does not have such a problem. After all, her acting skills are undoubtedly better than Bai Jingting and the other, and her mentality is also calmer.

After all, she and Wang Hao still have some friendship. When she stars in Wang Hao's movies, she is always extremely relaxed, calm and confident.

And this is exactly in line with the mentality of the heroine Lin Yun.

Especially when Jing Tian came to the crew to accompany Wang Hao, Wan Qian portrayed the tension and madness hidden under Lin Yun's relaxation to the fullest, almost as if the character in the script had come back to life.

Of course, even if Jing Tian hadn’t come, nothing would have happened between Wang Hao and Wan Qian. A good horse never turns back to the grass it has left, let alone the grass near its own nest.

However, Jing Tian was willing to be jealous of him, which greatly satisfied his vanity as a man.

However, Jing Tian came to the crew of "Ball Lightning" not only to accompany him and prevent the rekindling of old love, she also has her own job.

After staying with Wang Hao in the "Ball Flash" crew and watching their filming work for several days, Jing Tian came to another crew. The filming location of this crew was actually not far away, it was in another large studio next to the "Ball Flash" crew.

"Hello, Mr. Brian."

Led by the assistant director of the crew, Jing Tian greeted the director of the film.

When the Hollywood director Bryan Singer, who was almost fifty years old, saw Jing Tian, ​​he was a little nonchalant and didn't care at all.

But after the assistant director whispered in his ear, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face, and he greeted Jing Tian in a friendly manner, not like the director of a Hollywood blockbuster at all.

Jing Tian was not surprised at all. She knew that even when her Hollywood colleagues came to China to shoot and produce movies, they still maintained a certain arrogance.

At the same time, she also knew that the other party suddenly lowered his posture entirely for the sake of her fiancé Wang Hao.

Although my Hollywood colleagues are arrogant, it depends on who they are talking to.

They can boss around their colleagues, actors, and even the park managers of [Eastern Galaxy Cinema Metropolis], but they dare not do so to Wang Hao.

Because Wang Hao is not only the Oscar-winning director of "Inception", he is also the chairman of Galaxy Group and the chief planner of the Galaxy Cinematic Universe, and has a certain influence in the world.

Especially with the success of "Marvel Cinematic Universe", "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" and "Spider-Man Cinematic Universe", the movie universe has also become a hot topic in Hollywood.

All film and television companies are taking inventory of their own inventories and racking their brains to see what other projects they have on hand that can be used to create a movie universe.

Not to mention anything else, right inside the [Eastern Galaxy Cinema Metropolis], in another large studio not far from this crew, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is still being filmed.

It is said that when DC first decided to launch the DC Cinematic Universe, they invited Wang Hao, hoping that he could serve as the planner of this new movie universe that could potentially be as famous as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Wang Hao refused.

This is also a very normal thing. You should know that among the three currently successful movie universes, [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] and Sony's [Spider-Man Cinematic Universe] were both planned by Wang Hao.

So when several film and television companies launched the movie universe plan, the first thing they considered was to invite Wang Hao to join the project.

Although Wang Hao was softly banned on the other side of the strait because he refused the recruitment of mainstream Hollywood forces at the Oscars, this was mainly aimed at his works and identity as a director, in order to eliminate his influence, and did not prevent him from joining certain projects as a planner.

When it comes to making money, the capital forces in Hollywood are very clear about it. Wang Hao's continued success has long proved his strength. These people are not against money. They are also superstitious and want to borrow Wang Hao's "luck".

However, this kind of news was only circulated in high-level circles in Hollywood and was not spread back to China. Therefore, many domestic audiences did not know about these things. They only thought that Wang Hao gave up developing in Hollywood after he was disappointed with "Inception" and did not know that he was still quite famous in Hollywood.

Of course, Bryan Singer must know about this, because although Wang Hao refused to participate in Universal Pictures' [DC Movie Universe] project, he agreed to 20th Century Fox Film Corporation.

Yes, the movie that Jing Tian came here to guest-star in today is the science fiction action film "X-Men: Apocalypse" produced by 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, directed by Bryan Singer, and co-starred by Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence and others.

This movie can be regarded as a work in the "X-Men Cinematic Universe" series created by Fox Film.

However, due to internal planning issues at Fox Film, the [X-Men Cinematic Universe] first launched the "X-Men" trilogy, which resulted in the film universe being unable to better expand the story and had to find a way to restart.

"X-Men: Apocalypse" is the new chapter of the movie universe restarted after "X-Men: Days of Future Past".

Fox was also unsure about this new chapter, so when they decided to restart, they specifically consulted Wang Hao about the "X-Men Cinematic Universe".

In response to this, Wang Hao flew to Hollywood and held a meeting with senior executives of 20th Century Fox and the project team of the "X-Men Cinematic Universe". Using the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" and "Spider-Man Cinematic Universe" as examples, he carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the "X-Men Cinematic Universe", sorted out the context of the entire movie universe, and pointed out the better development direction for the universe in the future.

According to Wang Hao, it was a waste for Fox to let a powerful villain like Apocalypse appear and fail at the beginning. This character could have become a temporary villain like Thanos.

It's a pity that 20th Century Fox didn't ask him for advice, but asked him to help support the "X-Men Cinematic Universe". However, they didn't listen to his suggestions to modify the subsequent film projects of the "X-Men Cinematic Universe".

Wang Hao was helpless as these people did not listen to his opinions like Sony did. After collecting more than 100 million US dollars in consulting fees, he returned to China directly.

However, because of this incident, 20th Century Fox chose to shoot and produce several subsequent films in [Eastern Galaxy Movie Metropolis]. This is also the reason why Jing Tian was able to make a cameo appearance in "X-Men: Apocalypse" today.
