Lin Yunbin smiled and said: "Five thousand troops!"
He just said his name and asked, and Zhou Guo looked like he suddenly understood.
"What? Ask me, do you all know Brother Zhou?" Li Yi was a little confused and curious.
It's not that he is ignorant, but he really doesn't know Wu Qianjun.
"We know him. Speaking of which, Wu Qianjun is actually quite famous. However, he does have some bad luck, or in other words, his star luck is really bad." Chen Wen also felt a little sad when he said it.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Li Yi was quite curious.
"Ng Qianjun comes from a martial arts family. He was discovered by Hong Kong director Luo Qiliang in his early years and was brought to Hong Kong to make a movie. Although the film was not a big success in the end, it made Wu Qianjun stand out." Lin Yunbin said with a smile.
"It's just that in those years, Hong Kong movies were declining day by day, and Hong Kong filmmakers were all moving north. Instead, Wu Qianjun chose to develop in the Hong Kong film industry. Although with his skills, there was no shortage of film contracts, but it was a pity that he signed That brokerage company offended a lot of people for some reasons. It was okay in Hong Kong, but in the mainland, it would be difficult to get good resources if you were not "our own people". But there were not many good resources. In fact, at that time, Action movies and martial arts movies are still very popular. This should have been the best opportunity for an action actor like Wu Qianjun to rise, but he missed it and has been wasting his time in some small film crews."
"This was nothing at all, but Wu Qianjun was really unlucky. At that time, there was an incident of Hong Kong actors bullying mainland actors, and he happened to be in that crew. The straight-tempered Wu Qianjun, and He stood up and spoke for a mainland actor, but you know the result is that he is in the Hong Kong circle. Although he is a mainlander and has no problem speaking out honestly, some people in Hong Kong feel that he is cheating."
"Sometimes, although those people don't succeed enough, they fail more than enough. As a result, Wu Qianjun was embarrassed." Lin Yunbin said this with emotion.
"So, it's really Tokiya Mingya! He has encountered many good opportunities for him, but he always seems to fall short."
"At that time, there were directors from the Mainland who took a fancy to his skills and asked him to act. However, his agency was so aggressive that he had a direct falling out with the agency, and even went to court. When such a dispute occurred, this The opportunity cannot wait for him, so it will naturally fail."
"When he successfully terminated his contract with the agency and returned to the Mainland, it was a pity that action movies had gradually withdrawn from the mainstream market. Wu Qianjun was also bitten by a snake, so when he returned to the Mainland, he simply stopped signing an agent. The company directly works for the independent gang, but you know, what good resources can be obtained by running the independent gang? Therefore, he can only act in some non-mainstream TV series, and he can only have a small role in the movie. "
Li Yi nodded. Some people may say, if you have strength, are you afraid of not being able to get ahead? But the fact is that if an actor wants to succeed, he really has to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.
And what if you have the strength?
In many movies, people don't look at your ability at all. Maybe Wu Qianjun's job is better, but under the same conditions, even if their own actors are a little worse, they will definitely choose their own people, and you are not their own people. What makes you get such good resources?
Moreover, the advantage of an actor like Wu Qianjun is not particularly obvious, because his advantage over others lies in his skill. But the problem is that this thing is really not a necessity for movies. The martial arts masters in film and television works, Many people are not action actors, but through action guidance, routines, action design, etc., they can still act like martial arts masters, and it doesn’t have to be you.
But if this is the case, it seems that Lin Yunbin and others cannot think that Wu Qianjun is suitable. After all, although martial arts movies are declining and action movies are not the mainstream of the market, action actors may not be as brilliant as in the past, but the domestic market is so Big, there are so many people, and there are actually a lot of action actors on hand. Why can Wu Qianjun catch their eyes?
"The reason why I know him and have a deep memory of him is because I have worked with him before. How should I say? This man really worked hard, and he worked really hard. One scene was shot underwater, but that time, he He almost died down there, but he remained calm and frightened the director at the time." Lin Yunbin sighed.
"This is true. I remember that time we collaborated. He played a villain in the play. There was a scene where the villain was beaten. For the sake of effect, the director asked for real beatings. As a result, seven takes were taken in a row. He was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Yes, but he remained silent," Chen Wen also said.
"No, since you are so optimistic about him, why don't you support him?" Li Yipo was a little confused.
Originally, it was really inappropriate to say this, but Li Yi and Chen Wen's friendship was enough for Li Yi to ask directly.
"So, his luck is really bad." Chen Wen couldn't help but shook his head.
"There are indeed very few actors like this, so we are naturally willing to recommend him when we have the opportunity. However, he thought of starting his own business and went off to tinker with his own movies."
"This man is really dedicated, but sometimes he is so dedicated that it makes people laugh or cry. He wanted to make a military movie, but he ended up going to the army to train. As a result, after training, he fell in love with him. Eighteen months later , Can you imagine? In order to play the role of a soldier well, an actor actually went to become a soldier, and he was still a real soldier." Chen Wen said in a dumbfounded voice.
Li Yi couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"Then what? Has his movie been completed?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"It works, it doesn't work either!" Chen Wen nodded and shook his head.
"Many people don't understand and think that making good works is enough. But in fact, they all ignore the importance of distribution. His first film was a military drama, but you know, TV dramas have to be sold to TV stations, where can they So easy? He is not a well-known director, nor does he have such a wide network of contacts. Why do other TV stations buy movies at high prices? So, in the end, his first self-directed and self-acted work, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and went through all kinds of hardships, but it turned out that It has become a star, but after all, I am not a professional director, and this is my first self-directed and self-acted work. Although it has a good reputation, the ratings are not good. Don't worry about making money, it is just luck to get the money back. "
Li Yi nodded.
If you make a good work, you will definitely make money. Only laymen can say this.
You know, most of the directors who graduated from the film academy in the same class as Li Yi have not yet made it to the top, and only a few have really made it.
Not to mention, there are so many film and television works produced domestically every year, but how many can be broadcast in cinemas and TV stations?
