I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 292 Casting of "The Wandering Earth"
After reading the script, Wu Gang found it unbelievable: "Is this a sci-fi script that Chinese people can write?"

"As you said, it was written by a Chinese." Guo Fan replied.

Wu Gang gave a thumbs up and said: "It's awesome. I believe this film will achieve good results. I agree. It doesn't matter if there are fewer roles. As long as I participate, I will be honored."

Li He and Wu Jing looked at each other, and fooled another actor, not bad.Finally, under Wu Gang's strong request, Guo Fan agreed to him to play a cameo role.

After returning home, Guo Fan shared Li He's suggestion with China Film Huali Film and Television, and after approval, a formal project launch conference was held in Beijing.Because Li He and Wu Jing were still filming "Wolf Warrior 2", they couldn't come to participate, so Li He asked Da Mimi to attend the press conference instead.

Da Mimi is the co-producer and producer of "The Wandering Earth", which is also his job.

The domestic sci-fi blockbuster project is about to be established, and there are popular movie stars like Li He and Wu Jing joining in. The first impression in the public's mind is that they can't believe it.

In what year, there are still people who believe that Huaxia can make blockbuster domestic sci-fi movies, only fools believe it.

But all the news can't be all fake. Netizens dubiously clicked on a lot of related news before they knew it would be true.

""The Wandering Earth" invested 7 million yuan, this will be true."

"Lee Hyuk starred, come on, can domestic sci-fi films be trusted? Isn't this ruining a good actor?"

"It's Xiao Xianrou who gets a high salary again, and it looks like a bad movie at first glance."

"Be careful what you say upstairs, who you say is a little fresh meat, do you want me to show you Li He's actor?"

"With Wu Jing starring, I can probably think of what kind of movie it is."

""Cyborg"?"

"No, I think it's "Willies and the Blue Bloods"."

"Please go and read the original Xiaoshuo, okay?"

"Just because a novel is good, doesn't mean that the movie will be good. Bad movies are doomed."

The Internet alone was already very lively, not to mention the news media at the press conference. Guo Fan and Da Mi Mi became the objects of many media reporters' questions when Li He was not there.

"Excuse me, Da Mi Mi, Li Hyuk is not afraid of failure when he acts in such a movie?"

Da Mi Mi smiled and said: "Lee Hyuk and I would not invest in this film because we were afraid of failure. In fact, we invested and joined this film after we had done enough understanding and preparation. We are very confident."

"Everyone knows that domestic sci-fi films were labeled bad films in the past, what plan do you have to get rid of this image?"

Guo Fan replied: "In order to make this film, we have made sufficient preparations. The preparatory period alone lasted for three or four years. The team and I took a [-]% attitude to make this domestic science fiction film. The movie, I believe it will achieve a good result."

"The most important thing in sci-fi films is the production of special effects. The world view of the original is very large. How can you guarantee the special effects scenes of the film?"

"In fact, we have already hired a number of special effects production companies before, and finally selected Weta Digital as the main, and domestic special effects companies as supplementary, and several parties cooperated to produce special effects. It presents excellent special effects production." Guo Fan said.

"Da Mimi, Li Hyuk is not here, why did you let him play in this movie, if the movie fails, wouldn't the loss outweigh the gain?"

Da Mi Mi smiled and said: "It is a very nonsensical thing to say that it failed before the filming started. I believe in Guo Fan and his team, and I also believe in Li He's vision. In fact, I have already read the script. My first reaction at the time was This is not a script that Chinese people can write."

The media reporters at the scene were all amused by Da Mimi's words. When a reporter asked Da Mimi to disclose more details about the film's script, Da Mimi refused because this domestic sci-fi epic is so special. You'll know when it's released, and it's only fun to watch it in a movie theater.

When a reporter asked about the specific release date of the film, Guo Fan thought for a while and said, "If there are no accidents, the film will meet you in the Lunar New Year file in 2018 or the Spring Festival file in 2019."

The release time is still very early. After all, it is only a project launch conference, and the filming has not yet started.However, Guo Fan's guarantee still reassures many people. After all, if you want to say that the project is approved now and will be released next year, the audience will probably suspect that it is a bad movie.

The press conference attracted a lot of attention, and China Film and Huali Film and Television fully hyped it up, making "The Wandering Earth" a success.

After the project approval conference, the casting of actors began. Except for Li He, Wu Jing, and sister Zifeng, who have already been set, other roles need to be considered.

After discussing with the investor, Guo Fan believed that with Li Hyuk, there was no need to worry about the flow of this film, so he should choose those capable actors with acting skills, and the salary should be cheaper.

The production cost of 7 million yuan, including the investment in publicity and distribution, the remuneration of the actors must be strictly controlled, the total salary of the actors and staff paid by the crew should not exceed 1.5 million yuan, and Li He and Wu Jing took 40.00% of it remuneration.Although it is a commercial blockbuster, this is China's first domestic sci-fi film after all. Both Li He and Wu Jing have lowered their salaries.

In fact, under the promotion of Li He, Huahua Film and Television and Da Mi Mi Studio participated in the investment. Li He himself also named himself a producer and producer, the kind that does not give money.

Director Ning Hao is very interested in this sci-fi blockbuster that is currently being filmed. He is also planning a sci-fi comedy movie called "Crazy Alien" recently, so he came to watch it and made a guest appearance at Guo Fan's invitation a role.In addition, Lei Jiayin, Guo Jinfei, and Li He invited Deng Chaoluyi, Hu Baidoufu, Liu Shishi, Wang Ou and other friends to help out.

Although everyone didn't have many roles in the scene, they also agreed to make cameo appearances because of Li Hyuk's face, but Li Hyuk wanted to treat him to a big meal, the one he made himself.As a producer, Da Mi Mi will naturally not be let go. Guo Fan insisted on inviting her to play the role of a teacher, with a few minutes of shots and lines.

Originally, Da Mimi was supposed to play the role of Liu Qi's mother, but Da Mimi thought it would be weird to play Li He's mother, so she didn't play the role. The role was handed over to Liu Min, who became popular with "Langya Bang" and "The Pretender". Tao.

In addition, Guo Fan didn't even let Liu, the author of the original work, insist on playing the role of Officer A in the space station.Not to mention Liu, Guo Fan even assigned himself a role as a forklift driver.

Guo Fan said that he didn't want to squeeze the wool to such an extent, because he was forced by lack of money.

The other is the casting of other main characters, the more important ones are Liu Qi’s grandfather Han Ziang, and Guo Fan is a fan of the golden duo of Master Xing and Uncle Da, so he agreed to invite Uncle Da to play the role.

When Uncle Da first received the script, he couldn't believe it was written by a Chinese. After repeated confirmation, he took over the film. Although the salary was a bit low, only 50.

Li Guangjie was approached for the role of Wang Lei, who has a relatively heavy role, and for the role of Zhou Qian. Li He and his younger sister suggested that Guo Fan be cast by Tan Songyun, and that other roles should be handled by Guo Fan.

After a lot of casting, at the end of May, the casting work for "The Wandering Earth" was finally done. At this time, Li Hyuk had already wrapped up the production of "Wolf Warrior 2".
