Chapter 349
349 Strange person
Huo Zhiming was also considered a well-known figure in the Chinese directing circle.
He was nearly 50 years old and came from an intellectual family. However, he had an eccentric personality and many actors who had worked with him had mixed opinions about him.
Some people thought that he was too harsh, a little unreasonable, and had an unpredictable mood. Those who had worked with him on set had privately called him ‘tyrant’.
There were also actors who felt that he was very dedicated to his work, and that the movies he shot always captured the feelings he wanted.
In the eyes of the audience, Huo Zhiming’s works had mixed reviews. Some of them were amazing, while others were difficult to watch.
However, these were not the reasons Xia Chaoqun had mentioned him. His biggest problem was:
“He’s in no position to do so.”
Xia Chaoqun made this evaluation indifferently.
Huo Zhiming’s so-called ‘no stand’ was most directly expressed in his movies.
The relationship between the main and supporting characters in his movie was uncertain before the movie was released. He was completely free to do as he pleased with the editing.
It was possible that when he signed the contract, he was still the protagonist, and during the shooting, he was also aiming for the protagonist’s role. However, after the shooting, he changed his feeling, and perhaps the protagonist’s role would be cut into a shadow in the end.
Because of this, Huo Zhiming’s movies had no lack of good works. However, his movies had always been the least liked investment by investors. They thought that it was too risky and not worth trying.
It was for this reason that most famous actors didn’t like to work with Huo Zhiming. They were afraid that he would cut the ‘main character’ into a worse shape than a side character on a whim.
Many famous movie stars who had worked with him before had ended up parting on bad terms with him. He did not have a good reputation in the industry and was currently in a very awkward position.
He wasn’t some unknown new director, and he had filmed many works that were highly rated. In terms of status, his qualifications were not inferior to the well-known big directors in the country, such as ning zhanping and Zhao rang.
However, he had the title of a famous director and had not produced any new works for many years. Other than his former fans, perhaps the younger audience did not know him.
His movies were too unstable. Xia Chaoqun reminded Jiang se solemnly, ”
“Did you read a novel? Did you not see the script?”
She had hit the nail on the head. When Jiang se received the thick stack of documents for the scripts, she had only read the novel. She had not had the time to read the script, the outline, or the characters ‘personalities.
Once Xia Chaoqun finished speaking, Jiang se went to look for the folder labeled ‘criminal suspects’. When she opened it, she saw the script for’ criminal suspects’. The words “Huo Zhiming” were written there. Even the scriptwriter had his name written there.
his movies are too unstable.
It had been almost six years since his last movie was released. Six years ago, when his movie was released, there were a lot of curses. After watching the movie, many people directly commented that Huo Zhiming was old and should leave the industry and go home to rest.
Some of his hardcore fans even expressed their disappointment. Was Huo Zhiming forced to shoot this movie, or was he really short of money, so he had to compromise with reality, and so on.
“The reputation of his previous show might affect this one.”
Most importantly, Xia Chaoqun held the phone between his cheeks and his shoulders. He reached out to flip through the documents and found the information on the movie ‘criminal suspect’.
due to the various reasons I’ve mentioned, no one is willing to invest in his film.
When she said this, she asked Jiang se, ”
Sese, do you still insist that you’re interested in ‘suspects’? ”
Jiang se did not say anything. Xia Chaoqun was unconcerned by her silence. he’s getting on in his years. He’s too independent and stubborn. His aesthetic sense might not be able to keep up with the trend and attract the public.
If they really cooperated with him, it would be no less than a big risk.
you’re getting more and more famous now, and your career has just started to develop. It’s too risky for you to take on this film. I’m not afraid to be honest with you. This film was chosen by the Chairman of the Board through a pile of information. He asked me to let you choose.
When Luo Yin was young, he had a friendship with Huo Zhiming. He didn’t know why Luo Yin would come out to do this this, but Xia Chaoqun was obviously not curious about the inside story.
let me remind you that almost everyone under century Galaxy has a copy of this information.
When Jiang se heard this, she could not help but raise her eyebrows. Xia Chaoqun continued, ”
don’t blame me for being too merciless. Huo Zhiming has made it this far and he doesn’t even have an investor. He might not even be able to pay the actors ‘salaries!
When she said such disdainful words in a calm tone, Jiang se could not help but burst out laughing.
sister Chaoqun, I’m still interested in this movie. I think the role of Zhong Qi is very interesting.
Xia Chaoqun did not say anything after she finished speaking. Jiang se wondered what Xia Chaoqun’s expression would be like when he heard her words.
“Why don’t I find some time to meet director Huo and decide?”
Xia Chaoqun had a rough understanding of Jiang SE’s personality after spending so much time with her.
A person like her was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Once she made a decision, it was difficult to change her mind. Even though she sounded like she was discussing with Xia Chaoqun, she would not have mentioned it to Xia Chaoqun if she did not have that intention. The moment she brought up this matter and mentioned that she wanted to see Huo Zhiming, Xia Chaoqun knew that she had already made up her mind. It would be very difficult to change her decision.
“Do you need me to remind you again?”
Xia Chaoqun’s tone was a little cold. all the smart celebrities in century Galaxy have tried their best to decline this script.
Jiang se could read between the lines and could not help but laugh again.
“I’m just meeting him. Let’s see what happens.”
Huo Zhiming’s reputation had already reached the point where many people in the circle were unwilling to work with him anymore. It could be said that everyone avoided him like the plague.
Jiang se insisted on meeting Huo Zhiming, and Xia Chaoqun fulfilled his duty of reminding her. In the end, he still jotted down the itinerary. However, before she hung up, she could not help but ask curiously, ”
“Can I ask a question?”
“Of course.”
On the other hand, Jiang se was curious about what she wanted to ask. Compared to mo Anqi’s exuberant curiosity, Xia Chaoqun did not seem like a woman at all. She never asked about the gossip and gossip in the entertainment industry and was not very curious about it. When she did things, she only looked at the results and not the process. She would not say nonsense that was not related to the real business and would always go straight to the point.
Her face had always been calm and composed, and it was rare to see a second expression.
