Wang Guoan chuckled and said, "Tianming, it's a little inappropriate for you to say that in front of Yunhai."
Wang Tianming said, "What's inappropriate about it? Director Xiao's acting skills aren't just on par with a Best Actor. They're on a higher level, okay? I've watched 'Infernal Affairs' three times in a row. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the performances of the four heavenly kings were breathtaking. However, there are still two small levels among the four of them. In terms of explosive power and charisma, Director Xiao and Teacher Liang are slightly stronger. "
Wang Guoan nodded and said, "That's right. I think so too. Yunhai, I have to say that you're a miracle. Back when you auditioned for 'Three Kingdoms', your acting skills were only first-rate. I didn't expect that in just two short years, you'd suddenly grow to the point where you could compete with the God of Cinema, Liang Hui. You really make us, the so-called Best Actor, feel ashamed. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "If I didn't know the two teachers well, I would have taken your words as a form of flattery. Xiangyang, why isn't Director Wu here yet? "
Chen Xiangyang said, "He went to pick up Old Master Wang."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "What about the other actors? I still don't know the name list of the actors in our movie. "
Wang Guoan smiled and said, "Let me do it."
Xiao Yunhai couldn't help but nod in satisfaction after listening to Wang Guoan's introduction of the various characters.
Crown Prince Yinreng was played by the veteran actor Xu Jianyi. Although Xu Jianyi had never won a Best Actor award, he was a true uncrowned king. He had been nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Goblet Awards five or six times. He had also been nominated for Best Supporting Actor many times. Unfortunately, his luck wasn't very good. He had never won a single award.
However, his acting skills were well-known in the industry. He wasn't inferior to any of the Best Actor awards. Even Wang Guoan and Wang Tianming did not dare to say that they could compare to him.
Elder Brother Yin Ling and Third Brother Yin Zhi were played by veteran actors Zhang Yan and Xia Pingan respectively. Minister Zhang Tingyu invited Xiao Yunhai's old acquaintance, Wang Zhongmou. Longkado was played by Xu Hongjun. Empress Dowager invited Teacher Zhang Hong. Elder Brother Nine, Elder Brother Ten and Elder Brother Fourteen were all young actors with good acting skills in the circle.
Although these actors and actresses were not as famous, their acting skills were superb. As long as it was filmed well, it would definitely become a classic.
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Mr. Wang, what do you think will happen if our 'Yongzheng Dynasty' and 'Water Margin' clash?"
Wang Guoan said confidently, "Needless to say, we will definitely win. But you better not do that. After all, Water Margin is the Ministry of Culture's key film this year. If we beat it, I'm afraid the Ministry of Culture will lose face. "
Xiao Yunhai coldly snorted and said, "Then let the Ministry of Culture look for the father and son of the Tian Family. We'll do what we have to do. If we happen to meet, then it's his bad luck. "
After a while, the other actors came in one after another. Xiao Yunhai greeted them one by one.
Just as everyone was chatting happily with each other, Chen Qingqing came in with a hale and hearty old man with white hair.
Seeing the old man with a smile on his face, Xiao Yunhai, Wang Guoan, Wang Tianming and the others hurriedly greeted him and respectfully said, "Mr. Wang."
The old man was Wang Huang, who was going to play Kangxi in the film. Although he was in his eighties, he was still very strong and didn't need anyone to help him walk. Moreover, Xiao Yunhai could see that he obviously knew Kung Fu, and his voice was full of energy.
"Haha, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Mr. Wang, the dishes haven't been served yet. There's no need to wait."
Wang Huang pointed at Xiao Yunhai and said, "You're Mei Changsu from 'Langya List', aren't you?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "Mr. Wang, you've also watched this film?"
Wang Huang smiled and said, "Of course. It's such a good film, so I naturally want to watch it. Overall, your film is indeed very good, but I feel that it's a little lacking in the sense of depth. "
Hearing Wang Huang's evaluation, Xiao Yunhai nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Wang is right. It's just that that film is a legendary drama that takes a historical perspective. The sense of depth is definitely not as good as the historical drama 'Yongzheng Dynasty' that we're going to shoot now. "
Wang Huang's eyes lit up and said, "To be able to say such words, it means that you're a young man with a lot of insight. You're not like the others who have no stance. That's very good."
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, this is our scriptwriter and investor, Mr. Xiao Yunhai."
Wang Huang suddenly realized and said, "So you're Xiao Yunhai. Hehe, my grandchildren are very fond of you. To use the current language, they're your fans. Yes, hardcore fans. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then I'm really flattered. Mr. Wang, let's talk while we eat. "
Wang Huang nodded and said, "Sure."
Although Xiao Yunhai was the scriptwriter and investor of 'Yongzheng Dynasty' and his status in the industry was higher than most of the people present, Hua Xia was a country of etiquette. As the only young person at the table, Xiao Yunhai naturally couldn't sit above these old people.
Therefore, after arranging the seats for all the veteran actors, Xiao Yunhai sat at the very bottom and was responsible for serving everyone tea.
When everyone saw Xiao Yunhai's actions, although they didn't say anything, they were full of admiration in their hearts.
One had to know that Xiao Yunhai had become a veritable big director with the popularity of 'Infernal Affairs' and 'Valiant Heroes'. His international influence was even greater than that of all the celebrities present.
If it were another young person who had such status, they would probably be arrogant. Not to mention giving up their seats and serving others, even if they were treated slightly slighted, they would probably give you a hard time.
This kind of thing was common in the entertainment industry. It was unknown how many times it had happened.
However, Xiao Yunhai still maintained a humble and low-key style. He was polite and didn't have the slightest arrogance. Even Wang Huang showed a look of admiration for this kind of peaceful state of mind.
The dishes were quickly served. Xiao Yunhai got up and personally poured wine for the veteran actors. When it was his turn, he poured a glass of juice.
Wang Tianming didn't know about Xiao Yunhai's situation, so he said, "Director Xiao, this isn't appropriate. Even Elder Wang is pouring wine for you. Why is a wine god like you drinking fruit juice? "
The others also echoed and asked Xiao Yunhai to change to white wine.
Chen Qingqing laughed and said, "Alright, everyone, let's not make things difficult for our god of wealth. He's fighting for his next generation. Don't make a fuss here. "
When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood. After a few words of banter, no one tried to persuade him anymore.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wang Huang suddenly asked, "Yunhai, did you study Yongzheng specifically? I think this script of 'Yongzheng Dynasty' can be written into a book. "
Xiao Yunhai looked at the old man with admiration. This was because this TV series in his previous life was adapted from a novel of the same name by Mr. Yuehe.
Xiao Yunhai said, "When I was writing the script of 'Step by Step', I looked up a lot of information about the Yongzheng Dynasty. Later, I played the role of the male lead, Yongzheng. In order to fully understand this role, I looked up a lot of personal information about him on the Internet. "The current script of 'Yongzheng Dynasty' was written by me using this information, some historical allusions, and my own imagination. If there's anything wrong, please correct me, Mr. Wang. "
This was blatant plagiarism. Xiao Yunhai had no choice but to make up a bunch of nonsense.
Fortunately, he had read Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Yongzheng by Yuehe in his previous life. Therefore, even if he was asked to write it now, there would be no problem.
Wang Huang shook his head and said, "You've already written it very well. Even I can't write such a historical and story-telling script. Compared to 'Langya List', I might like it more. By the way, how much money are you going to give the crew? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That depends on Director Chen."
Chen Qingqing said, "I've roughly calculated. If we want to film 'Yongzheng Dynasty' well, not including the actors' salary, we'll need at least 300 million. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "No problem. I'll prepare it for the crew. Director Chen, when do we start filming? "
Chen Qingqing said, "April 18th, Hengdian Studios."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I definitely won't be able to go to the press conference. I'll leave everything to you. To be honest, I'm very confident in this movie. Especially now that I've seen so many excellent acting teachers, I'm even more confident. As an investor, I only have one request, and that's quality. If we don't have enough money, we can invest more. Whether it's 300 million or 400 million, it's not a problem. However, the quality of the film must be guaranteed. There can't be a single bit of compromise. I only have one philosophy. Either we don't film, or we film it must be a classic. "
"Nowadays, Hua Xia's television industry is exaggerated. They focus on publicity and not quality. All they do is make fake things. I'm very disgusted by this. I hope that in our 'Yongzheng Dynasty', everyone can show their skills and show them what acting is. "
"Alright."
"Well said."
Everyone cheered in unison.
Chen Qingqing raised his wine glass and said, "Come, let's toast to Yunhai's words."
"Cheers."
During the banquet, everyone spoke freely. The atmosphere was unusually lively.
