Become a dramatist from today
Chapter 70 Speculation
Everyone in the audience became much more serious when they heard about William Conan Boleyn's new movie.
"I hope the organizing committee can understand me. After all, other environments don't have such a big influence." Conan Bolling said first, "My new film is adapted from the work "M. Butterfly" by Mr. Huang Zhelun, one of the most famous contemporary playwrights in the world. This hope is to recruit a Chinese male actor from all over the world. The requirement is that he has both male and female beauty, especially female beauty, with a face that seems to be reflected on the blade. In addition, the actor should have a background in Beijing opera or opera. Thanks again to the Montreal Film Festival for being so accommodating, thank you.”
Conan Bolling didn't tell the truth. In fact, even if he wasn't influential, he would still choose to recruit actors in his acceptance speech, just because the Montreal Film Festival is influential, but that's the extent of influence. For example, he didn't dare to The big three in Europe do this.
The secondary reason is that there are a lot of Chinese people participating in the Montreal Film Festival, and it also attracts a lot of attention in China.
As Conan Bolin expected, the news of recruiting male actors at the awards ceremony that day spread all over the world in an instant and became a global hit.
"William Conan Bolling became the biggest winner at the Montreal Film Festival awards night and revealed plans for a new film." - 21CN Entertainment
""M. Butterfly" won the Tony Award for Best Play and has been selected as a teaching material for Western literature in many countries. Is "M. Butterfly" + William Conan Bolling worth looking forward to?" - The Washington Post
"Who would be Mr. Conan Boleyn's favorite actor?" - The Hollywood Reporter
…
Conan Bolin tweeted how to sign up. At first, you must have your personal performance video sent to your email.
This news has also appeared on several hot searches on the domestic Internet, # Shi Jin, Madame Butterfly # , # Madame Butterfly, Hou Guozhi # and so on.
Smart Chinese actors have long been prepared to take advantage of the popularity and type out the news first. If it fails, they can use "Too bad, almost" to buy another hot search.
However, Shi Jin and Hou Guozhi are indeed suitable for auditions. Beijing Opera is the English name of Peking Opera, and of these two actors, one was born in a Liyuan family, the other has acted in Peking Opera-related film and television works, and both have a certain foundation in appearance. They are the handsome ones.
Chinese actors have always been keen on going to Hollywood for gold-plating. They can play a fleeting supporting role in a blockbuster movie or make a splash in soft articles.
Now he is starring in a work by a world-class director! Even if it fails at the box office later, it can still be used as bragging rights. It's no wonder that domestic actors who meet the requirements are gearing up.
""M. Butterfly" turns out to tell such a story." After watching the play, Huang Baiyou realized that it was a very legendary story, and what was even more legendary was that it had a prototype.
To summarize the content of the play in today's words: Who in the family knows that the lover who has lived together for twenty years is a man.
The script is very good. What makes Huang Baiyou satisfied is that the script is anti-Orientalism, which is rare.
The word Orientalism was defined by the thinker Edward Said, which means that Westerners fabricate "Chinese civilization" with special purposes. Currently, what the United States is exporting to China with its cultural hegemony is Eastern civilization, which includes narrowed eyes, pigtails, irrationality, oppression of women, etc.
Its purpose is to make Chinese civilization an other civilization subordinate to the West, and even many Chinese people think so.
Why can Song Liling, the protagonist of "M. Butterfly", easily capture French diplomat Gallimard? Because Song Liling deliberately behaved like the Chinese women Galima knew.
This kind of "cognition" is Eastern civilization. Huang Baiyou fell into thinking. He must also want to seize this opportunity to promote coffee, but he can't see the script, which means that he can't start the reward task.
After three films, Huang Baiyou can confidently say that he can act, but without the help of paid assignments, it is almost impossible to get a role in this audition mode.
"It's a rare opportunity, you can try..." Huang Baiyou browsed Conan Bolin's tweets and announced that the deadline for sending the performance VCR to the mailbox is the end of April.
"There are more than two months left, and there is plenty of time." Huang Baiyou has a plan in his mind that is slowly taking shape.
The next day, Huang Baiyou and the crew boarded the return flight.
The more than ten hours of flight made Huang Baiyou exhausted physically and mentally, but in order to test his suspicions, he increased his power and fell asleep before going home. Instead, he contacted a drama troupe on the Internet.
The two parties met at a teahouse in the DC area. After dragging their tired bodies, they took another sip of Pu'er tea. It was so bitter!
"Hello, Mr. Huang, this is Lu Yi you played." Captain Liang gave a thumbs up.
"Xiao Qiu Shan Repertory Theater is also a powerful troupe." Huang Baiyou was the leader of the Kua Kua group. Not to be outdone, he quickly started exchanging business blows.
Xiaoqiushan Repertory Theater is a private drama troupe, focusing on experimental dramas. Since it has no business establishment, it can only support itself by performing in various places.
There are many independent drama companies in China, but not all of them are in this miserable situation. For example, there are famous directors who can attract box office and their lives are quite comfortable, such as Lai Shengchuan Studio.
Another example is writing a few funny comedy scripts, which can also attract a lot of box office. However, Xiao Qiushan Repertory Theater has neither of the above two profit models.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and then the conversation began to get to the point.
"Captain Liang, if you were asked to rehearse a play as quickly as possible, how long would it take?" Huang Baiyou asked.
"That depends on what kind of work it is." Captain Liang asked.
"Huang Zhelun's "M. Butterfly"." Huang Baiyou got straight to the point.
"Oh, this play is very famous. It has been very popular on the Internet recently. There is a foreign director who wants to shoot a movie version." Captain Liang suddenly thought, "Rehearsing for this play, wouldn't Mr. Huang also want to audition?"
"It was mentioned on the Internet, and I also read the script. It felt good, so I wanted to act." Huang Baiyou explained.
"Are you addicted to acting? I understand, the mainstay of our theater, if you don't act for a month or two, you will lose energy and do anything, which is more annoying than being addicted to cigarettes." Captain Liang calculated, ""Mr. Butterfly" "The whole script should be 60,000 to 70,000 words, right? It will take more than a month to understand it well enough to perform on stage, and you also have to worry about Teacher Huang's cooperation in the schedule."
"So when can we start rehearsing?" Huang Baiyou asked again.
"After memorizing the lines, we can start rehearsing. Within a week, our actors will be very professional." Captain Liang is confident.
"Good."
Then the two began to discuss the cost.
Huang Baiyou is equivalent to hiring a professional drama troupe to perform "M. Butterfly" with him. The agreed fee is 80,000 soft girl coins per month.
"Captain Liang, please send me Song Liling's script later." Huang Baiyou said.
"I understand this. Teacher Huang needs a sense of ceremony." Captain Liang responded with a smile and assured that there would be no problem.
His way of acting is to reward those who work hard, not the way of movies, so does it include drama?
If included, can we start the reward mission for Song Liling in the drama "M. Butterfly"!
Although William Conan Bolling's movie will definitely adapt the original play, at least it will be able to win the audition to a large extent. This is the special plan formulated by Huang Baiyou!
For this speculation, Huang Baiyou paid 80,000 soft girl coins and 50,000 popularity points...
