Chapter 816 The Road to Being an Actor

Chapter 816 The Road to Being an Actor

On time, the official account of the Galaxy Award, together with several large online reading platforms, released links to the finalist works.

The first release mainly provides language versions submitted by writers, most of which are in English.

However, the manuscript that Jiang Yuan sent to Yang Chao also included Chinese and English versions, so Yang Chao sent it to him as well.

This is obviously very friendly to domestic fans.

In the past, when the finalists for the Galaxy Awards were announced, domestic fans basically had to wait for a while before they could read the folk translated versions.

In the past, some choices might have to be made in the reading order of the selected works, but this time, "The Last Question" was obviously placed first in the reading order without exception.

Without exception, everyone went straight to "The Last Question".

At the same time, abroad, although it was already early in the morning due to the time difference, there were also many fans who were interested in the Galaxy Awards who waited until this time specifically in order to let their minds travel into the world of science fiction as soon as possible.

As a result of these factors, "The Last Question" has become the work with the most online readers.

When clicking on this work, readers at home and abroad were all stunned at the same time. Domestic fans subconsciously thought it would be a more Chinese-style science fiction, and foreign readers obviously had the same idea.

But as soon as the story started, everyone realized that they had been distracted and immediately perked up and started reading.

While everyone is still focusing on reading the world, there is not much response on the Internet for the time being.

Jiang Yuan did a quick search during his lunch break, and only found some related promotional information, nothing else.

Putting down his phone and preparing to wait for the bullets to fly for a while, Jiang Yuan also started thinking about the shooting of the short advertising film in the afternoon.

As Jiang Yuan's endorsement advertisements increased and his status grew, the shooting of the advertisements was no longer as simple as before and became increasingly complicated.

For example, today’s shooting has been rolled into a short story with a continuous storyline.

Or strictly speaking, it is just dividing a complete short film into several different commercials for shooting.

An advertisement for a sports brand needs to have both a humanistic conceptual story and sports scenes and even dance parts that can reflect the performance of the sports brand.

Before the activities started in the morning, Jiang Yuan had basically completed the literary part of the commercial.

The afternoon time was allocated to the more demanding action scenes.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a while, and the director of the commercial also came to Jiang Yuan's lounge with a specially invited action director.

For Jiang Yuan, filming an advertisement is a rare opportunity for him to be in a shooting scene that he is not so familiar with.

After all, whether he was working with He Jing or even directing the show himself, Jiang Yuan was basically at the center of the crew, just like he was at home.

Therefore, scenes like advertising shootings are rare occasions where Jiang Yuan needs to negotiate with the outside world on social etiquette.

Especially in the past two years, as Jiang Yuan's popularity has gradually increased, many directors and screenwriters have wanted to make friends with Jiang Yuan.

For example, Cai Ye, the director in charge of shooting the commercial today, also had the same idea.

Cai Ye is obviously no ordinary person as he was able to take on the shooting of a large-scale sports brand theme commercial.

Although the director has not yet produced any famous films, he wins awards every day for his short film shooting.

So many viewers who know Cai Ye have been looking forward to when Cai Ye can direct a slightly longer movie.

But everyone knows their own business. Cai Ye wanted to shoot a movie, but on the one hand, he really didn't encounter a good opportunity. On the other hand, even if he wanted to shoot, it would be difficult to invite any famous actors. Investment and so on are also big problems.

However, through the filming of this commercial and his contact with Jiang Yuan, from before the filming started today to the end of the filming in the morning, a word kept flashing in Cai Ye's mind - "opportunity".

Yes, in Cai Ye's opinion, contacting Jiang Yuan or cooperating with him is indeed a very tempting opportunity.

Putting aside other factors, Jiang Yuan’s popularity alone is enough to attract a lot of investment.

Not to mention, after hooking up with Jiang Yuan, there are indeed examples of people like He Jing ascending to heaven.

Cai Ye naturally also wanted to cooperate with Jiang Yuan, but the cooperation model was different from some previous ones.

Many directors want to work with Jiang Yuan basically because of Jiang Yuan's popularity, scripts and investment. Compared with these people, Cai Ye seems a little different.

While Cai Ye was stunned, Jiang Yuan also had a pleasant conversation with the action director of the commercial.

For Jiang Yuan, there were two relatively complex difficulties in this afternoon's filming. One was dancing, and the other was the martial arts rehearsal.

Some action stunts are also what Jiang Yuan mainly learns.

When Jiang Yuan was studying, the martial arts teacher in charge of teaching Jiang Yuan was also secretly shocked.

I knew earlier that Jiang Yuan was very popular and had pretty good acting skills, but action scenes are not something that can be successful just by having good acting skills.

Both talent and foundation are important, and Jiang Yuan happens to have both.

Good physical fitness allows Jiang Yuan to complete some difficult movements, and his talent for applying what he has learned from dance allows him to quickly memorize some movements and then master them.

Wushu master Zhou had originally decided to spend his entire lunch break to coach Jiang Yuan as much as possible, but Jiang Yuan managed to master a whole set of martial arts moves in just ten minutes.

Although there are not many movements, Master Zhou recalled that if he wanted to learn such a set of movements back then, it would not have taken this much time.

For a moment, he was filled with different emotions. After looking at Jiang Yuan, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever considered trying a fighting scene?"

"If possible, of course." Hearing this question, Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up.

Martial arts scenes are also a type of role that Jiang Yuan has rarely tried in his acting career. If there is a chance, Jiang Yuan would really like to play a role that is good at fighting scenes in a movie.

On the one hand, it is really cool, and on the other hand, Jiang Yuan also wants to broaden his acting range.

Among singers, although they are still more defined within the framework of pop singers, their works have actually received a lot of praise in many music genres.

So Jiang Yuan has been thinking about his future as an actor and wants to start new plans.

It seems that among the several works he performed in, only "The Invisible Guest" received relatively much praise for Jiang Yuan's acting skills.

For the time being, I haven't received any acting awards.

As for the two films waiting to be broadcast, Jiang Yuan does not expect to win an award for "Detective Chinatown". The possibility for "Love Letter" will be much greater, but it is still not so safe.

This question from Master Zhou, a martial arts master, hit Jiang Yuan's heart. It was true that Jiang Yuan wanted to try a new way of acting that would break through himself. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan patted Master Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Let's add a contact number."

According to Jiang Yuan's idea, even if he wanted to shoot an action scene, it would be unlikely that Master Zhou would be able to introduce any good works for him to shoot.

It would be better to work hard to provide for yourself. By that time, Master Zhou might be able to provide you with some connections to help you.

"Let me scan you." Master Zhou took out his mobile phone, feeling happy that he was leading a good talent into the field of action movies.

After adding the contact information, Master Zhou patted Jiang Yuan's arm and said, "You are still young, I am very optimistic about you!"

As he said this, he had an expression that showed high hopes for Jiang Yuan, which made Jiang Yuan stunned.

But he still waved and watched Master Zhou leave the lounge.

Director Cai Ye listened to the conversation between Jiang Yuan and Master Zhou and couldn't help but blink, feeling as if he had found the right time.

When Jiang Yuan was still thinking about the action scenes that were designed to suit him, he was suddenly startled by Cai Ye's big face approaching.

After retreating suddenly, Jiang Yuan finally recovered a little.

Noticing Cai Ye's somewhat serious expression, Jiang Yuan also realized that the other party seemed to have something to say.

Jiang Yuan noticed this the moment he met Cai Ye, but he seemed to have kept it to himself because of the filming of the commercial.

Now it seems that I can't bear it anymore.

"Director, just say whatever you want to say." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said with understanding.

"Then I'll tell you." Cai Ye nodded.

"It's like this, I have a script that I have been preparing for many years," Cai Ye looked at Jiang Yuan and began to talk.

Jiang Yuan was slightly stunned. He had received quite a few movie scripts through his studio, but this was the first time that someone like Cai Ye handed him a script in person.

I have to say, after listening to Cai Ye's story, Jiang Yuan still became quite interested.

Before arriving at the scene today, Jiang Yuan also heard Zhang Qing’s brief introduction to Cai Ye.

He hasn't released a formal movie in so many years, which shows that he attaches great importance to his first work.

Just for this reason, even though Jiang Yuan hasn't seen the script yet, he already feels that the quality of the script shouldn't be too bad.

In addition, according to Cai Ye's description, this is also a more literary film.

It has to be said that art films do have a much greater chance of winning awards, and that just happens to be the genre that hits Jiang Yuan.

However, Jiang Yuan was still a little curious, "This should be a script you have been preparing for a long time, why do you think I am suitable?"

When Cai Ye heard Jiang Yuan's question, his story was interrupted.

After a second or two of silence, he answered honestly, "At the beginning, I did think you had a good appearance, good acting skills, and popularity. If you could join, the filming of the movie would be much smoother."

Cai Ye expressed what he was thinking in a very practical way.

But Jiang Yuan did not feel bad after hearing this answer.

After all, they are all good words, and it is hard for anyone to feel bad after hearing them.

"What about now?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously. Judging from the other party's context, his attitude seemed to have changed.

"After working with you on the shoot this morning, I suddenly felt that I was very suitable for this role, purely from an acting perspective," Cai Ye continued.

In the matter of inviting Jiang Yuan, Cai Ye's main weapon was sincerity. Apart from that, he really had no more advantages.

Cai Ye was indeed telling the truth. Before he personally worked with Jiang Yuan, although he had thought about letting Jiang Yuan play the leading role, he was still not very sure.

It takes years of preparation to find the right actors to complete a project, so the selection is naturally made with great caution.

However, after seeing Jiang Yuan's performance with his own eyes this morning, Cai Ye finally made up his mind.

After more than a month of directing and acting in his own films, Jiang Yuan's acting skills have obviously improved significantly.

For example, after reading the script, the shooting of the commercial was naturally successfully won.

But Cai Ye always felt that in addition to acting out the contents of the script, Jiang Yuan's entire temperament and state seemed to be immersed in the play, which was a performance style that he liked very much.

Even Jiang Yuan, upon hearing Cai Ye's praise, couldn't help but admit that these words were indeed very pleasing to the ear.

Not to mention that Jiang Yuan was already somewhat tempted by this proposal.

Jiang Yuan felt that trying to film other people's scripts would be a good way to help improve his acting skills.

The script obtained from the system actually saved Jiang Yuan a lot of effort to some extent, and even some thinking was omitted.

After filming "Love Letter" with Fu Yunshen and others, Jiang Yuan also thought about this issue seriously and decided to find an opportunity to try to jump out and see the situation.

Right now, it seems to be a good choice.

Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Yuan to agree to it right away, even though the script Cai Ye mentioned had the potential to be a masterpiece that had been polished for a long time.

But there is also a certain possibility that it will be a bad movie. Although art films are easy to win awards, there are also a lot of ugly ones among them.

Jiang Yuan also chose to be cautious. "Please send me the script first. I'll take a look at it when I have time. I'm still on tour for the time being."

At this point, Cai Ye was already very satisfied with the result, "I'll send it to you right away."

At this point, Cai Ye is still very confident in his script and decides that if Jiang Yuan reads it carefully, he will be moved.

Seeing Cai Ye in such a state, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little more expectant.

"I can find the document and send it to you right now." After adding the contact information, Cai Ye couldn't wait any longer and started searching directly on his mobile phone.

It was agreed that the script would be sent to Jiang Yuan later, but it was sent in person instead.

Facing Cai Ye's expectant gaze, Jiang Yuan thought about it and decided to open the script in front of him.
