Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 186 Joint Investment, 【A Good Show】

Just after Lin Yuan picked up "Predecessor 3" directed by Xia Tian Yusheng, Miss Xia also updated a post in Moments, which means that Lin Yuan's schedule for this year is over, and he will not consider other movies for the time being.

Of course, if there is any movie that is planned to start shooting next year, then we can discuss it separately.

I have to admit that after Sister Xia finished posting the news, the news quickly spread to the circle. Those directors who were planning to find Lin Yuan for filming also regretted all kinds of regrets for a while, regretting that they hadn't contacted Lin Yuan earlier. Was taken over by others.

Some people are happy and some are worried. For Lin Yuan, the current situation is naturally a good thing.

If it was a few days ago, I'm afraid his mobile phone ringing can't be quiet until now. Now that he's back home, he can finally enjoy a long time of silence.

Not long after returning, the doorbell rang.

Lin Yuan didn't need to think about who was standing at the door. He opened the door and saw Song Zu'er standing at the door with the boiled Zhiyin soup.

Since he came back from filming the movie "Kung Fu Yoga", Song Zu'er also took advantage of the geographical advantage and came to visit frequently. Lin Yuan doesn't know if her acting skills have improved, but her cooking skills have improved a lot. These days, it can be said that Feed Lin Yuan well.

If the relationship between the two hadn't been clarified yet, Song Zu'er might have planned to live in Lin Yuan's house directly.

It is also a female artist in the company, and other female artists are now eager to take on a few more dramas and blush earlier.

Fortunately, she has joined Xitian for almost a year, but she has only accepted a play until now.

Originally, Lin Yuan thought that Song Zu'er was joking when she said that she planned to have a baby at home before she turned 30, but now it seems that this girl is serious.

While filling Lin Yuan with soup, Song Zu'er said with concern: "Brother Lin Yuan, I added wolfberry and yam this time to nourish your body, so drink more."

Lin Yuan first looked at the chicken soup, and then set his sights on Song Zu'er. Others tend to make up for it afterwards, but Song Zuer is good. He prepares for the battle every time. It seems that he has to give this girl quickly. Find something to do, or before I start filming my next movie, I am afraid that my body will not be able to withstand it first.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan asked: "Guer, I just accepted a movie, and there is a female supporting role in it that has not been finalized, are you interested?"

"Of course I'm interested!"

Originally, if it was just filming, Song Zuer might not really be interested, but when he heard that this was a movie that Lin Yuan had just received, he agreed without saying a word.

Seeing that Song Zuer agreed, Lin Yuan also pretended to be serious and said: "The script will be given to you in these two days, and then you can study the script carefully at home, and don't worry about other things for the time being. Otherwise, if you mess up your performance, I won't be able to explain to the director."

Song Zuer didn't think so much for a while, and assured Lin Yuan: "Don't worry, brother, I will study the script carefully these days, and I will definitely not hold you back."

Lin Yuan nodded, he wasn't worried at all about assigning Song Zuer a role.

When he was reading the script of "Predecessor 3" today, except for him and Han Geng, the other actors seemed to have not been settled yet. When the time comes, director Tian Yusheng can arrange a random role for Song Zu'er. what is the problem.

night.

After a great battle, Lin Yuan dragged his exhausted body into his dream.

Early the next morning.

Lin Yuan also got busy as planned at the beginning.

Picking up the phone, I quickly found Huang Bo's contact number in the address book, and dialed it: "Hello, Brother Bo, are you free today?"

The call was quickly connected.

As Lin Yuan took the initiative to ask questions, Huang Bo on the other end of the phone was also a little curious. Lin Yuan called suddenly, and he must have something to do with him, so he adjusted his sitting posture and replied very seriously: "I'm free, I I have been perfecting the script at home these days, brother, what do you want me to do?"

The relationship between the two is already good, and it's not an important matter, so Lin Yuan naturally didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "Brother Bo, it's like this. If there are investors who are willing to invest in me to make movies, I don't think I'm thinking of you." Are you planning to direct and act in a movie by yourself, so I want to come here and ask for advice on this aspect."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Huang Bo on the other end of the phone was somewhat surprised.

At first, he didn't plan to transform into a director like Xu Zheng, but when he was filming, some capitalists said they were willing to invest in him to make a movie, provided that the movie had to be directed and acted by himself.

After analyzing the pros and cons and confirming that there is no harm to him, Huang Bo agreed.

Even the "Havoc in Tianzhu" that Wang Baoqiang plans to shoot is the same.

You must know that he and Wang Baoqiang have been famous for a long time, and it is quite normal for investors to be willing to invest in the movies they directed and acted in.

But Lin Yuan has only been out for a long time, and it has only been three years since he worked hard, but now he is being targeted by the management and is willing to invest in him to make a movie, which is enough to prove how terrifying Lin Yuan's popularity is now.

Although this is also his first time directing and shooting a film, since Lin Yuan is willing to come and discuss, he must be more than happy.

Thinking of this, Huang Bo readily agreed: "That would be great, you can come to my house directly, and I just called Bao Qiang."

Originally, Huang Bo planned to call Xu Zheng. After all, Xu Zheng's self-directed and self-acted movies, such as "Thailand", "Heart Blossoming Road" and so on, have all achieved results. In terms of self-directed and self-acted , must have a unique understanding.

But after thinking about it, if he called Xu Zheng up, Wang Baoqiang would be embarrassed to call it out again, and the relationship between the two has not eased since the last time they were deadlocked.

Besides, if Xu Zheng is allowed to come over to give an idea, then when the film has achieved results, will it be their own ability, or Xu Zheng's good guidance?
Under these considerations, Huang Bo finally decided to ask Wang Baoqiang to come over and ponder together.

Even though the three of them have no experience as a director, but they have never eaten pork. Haven't they seen a pig run?
After making movies for so many years, not to mention how good he is in making movies, but he is definitely better than many cutting-edge directors, not to mention that they are still thinking about it together as three people. As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang, maybe after the discussion between the three of them, this work will be completed?

Seeing that Huang Bo agreed, Lin Yuan didn't show any hypocrisy. He simply cleaned up, and his assistant drove to Huang Bo's house.

Huang Bo welcomed Lin Yuan very much.

The two have been in contact with each other for a long time, and they also collaborated in the filming of "Looking for the Dragon". The process was also very pleasant.

As soon as he entered the room, Huang Bo greeted him warmly: "Brother Lin Yuan, if I had known that you were going to make a movie, I would have called you over directly."

Lin Yuan laughed, and joked, "I also came up with the idea when you said last time, Brother Bo, that you want to make a movie by yourself. It's just that you don't have enough savings, so you haven't mentioned this matter."

Not to mention Lin Yuan, I am afraid that most famous actors have the same idea.

When you are an actor, you have to be limited by the director. If the director is not good enough, even if they have their own abilities and ideas, they will not get the opportunity to display them. On the contrary, if they can direct and act on their own, let alone movies. Regardless of the final box office results, what is presented is definitely what they want to show the audience.

What's more, there are Zhou Xingchi, Jiang Wen, and Xu Zheng who have successfully directed and acted themselves. If they can also direct and act in a successful work, even if they don't become actors in the future, they can smoothly transform into full-time directors .

It’s just that it’s hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. If there is no capital and willing to invest, it is really difficult to make a high-quality movie with the savings the actor has saved.

Even Lin Yuan didn't expect at the beginning that he would be willing to invest in him to make a movie when he had the capital.

This kind of opportunity is rare, and it is precisely because of this that he was so active. He contacted Huang Bo the next day, wanting to ask about self-directing and acting, and prepare in advance.

While Lin Yuan was chatting with Huang Bo, after a while, Wang Baoqiang also came to Huang Bo's house.

After entering, Wang Baoqiang greeted Huang Bo briefly, then turned his head and looked at Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, I heard from Huang Bo that you are going to make a movie too?"

Lin Yuan nodded, and replied truthfully: "That's right, but I haven't finished dealing with the matter in hand, I just came here to learn experience and prepare for the future."

He is different from Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo.

He still has two films waiting to start filming, one "Tang Detective 2" and one "Predecessor 3". The time for "Tang Detective 2" has not yet been set. After the filming of "Havoc in Tianzhu", we will start filming, while "Predecessor 3" is ready to start filming after all the actors are settled.

In this situation, even if Lin Yuan got the capital investment, but now he has no script and no time. He just wants to direct and act in a movie as soon as possible, and I'm afraid he will have to wait until next year.

It is not wrong to say that he came here to learn from Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang.

It's just that besides learning how the two made movies, he naturally had other ideas.

After pouring a glass of water for Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo sat down and said with a serious face: "There is an idiom to say, if you don't sing, it's a blockbuster! Although this is the first time for us three brothers to Directing and acting in a movie, but no matter how you say it, you have to fight this first battle beautifully!"

After the words fell, Wang Baoqiang applauded beside him: "Good! Well said!"

Both of them looked very serious, but this scene fell into Lin Yuan's eyes, but they couldn't be serious.

It has to be said that these two are geniuses in acting in comedy. Just sitting here, there is a funny atmosphere blowing over your face.

Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are obviously very aware of their advantages. Although the themes they shoot are different, they are both comedy movies, which are their areas of expertise.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think about it. If he directs and acts on his own, what kind of movie should he choose?
After some impassioned speeches, Huang Bo immediately returned to his usual relaxed state, his eyes fell on Wang Baoqiang, and he gossiped, "Baoqiang, how much did you invest in that movie?"

When it came to investment, Wang Baoqiang was obviously a little disappointed, and said in a low tone: "It's only tens of millions."

Due to the fire in the backyard at home, his current popularity has also been affected. In the past, it was impossible for him to receive only tens of millions of investment based on his title of "Grassroots Actor". However, there is no way now, he is willing to invest in him The strength of the two film and television companies in the industry is only average, and it is already a very good choice to invest tens of millions in him to make this "Havoc in Tianzhu".

And now he urgently needs to prove himself with a successful work, so he is not picky, and has accepted the investment of two film and television companies.

Compared with Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo's situation is obviously much better.

It is also a self-directed and self-acted debut work. Shanghai Hanna Film and Television Culture Media Co., Ltd. alone has invested 1.5 million yuan, and now his personal studio is still in contact with other investments. It is estimated that there should be an investment of [-] million yuan before the film starts shooting.

It's not that the more investment, the better the film.

But at least with sufficient investment, the cast and the quality of the movie can be guaranteed, so that they won't lose all their money.

After learning about Wang Baoqiang's situation, Huang Bo shook his head and said, "The investment is a bit low. It seems that we need to work on the cast."

With an investment of tens of millions, if Wang Baoqiang hadn't directed and acted himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to pay for other actors.

Under such circumstances, Wang Baoqiang could only choose an actor with a low salary to star in this movie, otherwise the movie cost could not be controlled.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan suggested after a little thought: "Brother Bo, Brother Baoqiang, how about this, the three of us are going to make movies anyway, so why not play a role in each other's movies, so that each of us can save money. Wouldn't it be better to spend the remuneration of the two actors wisely?"

The entertainment circle is not about intrigue, but about the world.

The reason why he came up with this idea is because Lin Yuan is not sure how much investment he can get when he makes a movie. If he is like Wang Baoqiang and the investment is not much, then it would be like shooting himself in the foot. ?

It's better to sell a favorable favor in advance. If I have difficulties at that time, I can have Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang to help me out.

As Lin Yuan's voice fell, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang's eyes lit up.

The three of them are well-known in the film and television industry, whether it is popularity or acting skills.

Originally, Huang Bo also planned to invite Lin Yuan to star in this movie, but the problem is that Lin Yuan's popularity is too high now, and he estimated that the investment in actors would be around 5000 million. There is only a budget of 2000 million left to invite other actors.

Now Lin Yuan's proposal can be said to have solved a big problem for the two of them.

Take "Havoc in Tianzhu" which Wang Baoqiang is about to start filming as an example. Up to now, the total investment is only tens of millions. If Lin Yuan and Huang Bo are invited to star, each person will be calculated at a friendship price of 2500 million. 5000 million, whether the remaining funds can support the start of the movie is a question.

Huang Bo immediately praised: "This proposal is not bad. If the three of us cooperate with each other, we will be able to save a lot of money. If we use the money wisely, then it will be worthy of the audience."

Wang Baoqiang glanced at Lin Yuan gratefully, and anyone with a discerning eye could see who this proposal would help the most.

If there were Lin Yuan and Huang Bo starring in friendship, the possibility of him successfully making a comeback with the movie "Havoc in Tianzhu" would be much greater.

After solving the big problem of actors' remuneration, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang's interest obviously increased a lot.

The three of them also started discussing various topics.

After discussing for a while, Huang Bo took this opportunity to go to the study and took out the script he was pondering, put it in the hands of Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang, and asked, "The two of you just happen to be here, help me pick and choose, see Check the script to see if there are any places that need to be corrected."

Lin Yuan took the script and flipped through it.

There are many traces of revisions in the script. Obviously, Huang Bo has been focusing on this script these days.

But this is just right, he came here to learn experience anyway, his [script understanding] attribute is basically full, but Huang Bo has made so many movies, his understanding in this aspect is not bad, I just took this opportunity to watch Is there any gap between the comprehension of the script full of attributes and these film kings?

The plot of "A Good Show" is relatively simple. It tells the fable that the company's employees encountered a shipwreck on a trip, and everyone was stranded on a deserted island. In order to survive, they lived together and faced a series of human problems.

It has to be said that after Huang Bo's "sewing and repairing" revision, the outline of the story has basically been completed, and the rhythm of the story is also in place. There are even singing and dancing elements added in the middle to ease the conflict of the story. A relatively accurate commercial film.

It's just that there are more or less minor flaws in the middle plot. For Huang Bo, who wrote the script, he may not have noticed it for a while, but Lin Yuan can easily find these flaws from the perspective of a bystander.

Not to mention him, even Wang Baoqiang who was at the side found out two or three problems one after another.

Fortunately, these problems are harmless, and it is not troublesome to modify them. What's more, the three of them have a good understanding of the script, and they can come up with several solutions after casual discussion.

While "picking" the script.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but turned his head to look at Huang Bo, and asked, "Brother Bo, which role do you want me to play?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Wang Baoqiang also asked: "And me, who shall I play then?"

Huang Bo seemed to have already thought about the roles of the two, and pointed out to them in the script: "Lin Yuan will play my cousin, Xiao Yuan, and Bao Qiang will play the role of the driver. Forget it, Xiao Wang."

Both of them have a lot of roles in this movie, and both have their own outstanding plots. It can be seen that Huang Bo still knows how to make use of the advantages of the two.

Just after Huang Bo finished talking about the roles played by the two.

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "Brother Bo, I remember you said that you asked Sister Shu Qi to play the heroine, isn't it a lie?"

As soon as Shu Qi was mentioned, Huang Bo glanced behind cautiously, and then showed a "wretched" smile: "Lin Yuan, don't tell me, I haven't decided on other actors, but I just decided on the heroine." Alright, look behind here, is there still a kissing scene!"

As he said that, Huang Bo skillfully turned to the scene with the "kiss scene", pointing to the above plot and said proudly.

Lin Yuan glanced at the plot above, and then gave Huang Bo a contemptuous look.

Judging from the modification of the script, there was indeed a kissing scene at the beginning.

But I don't know who changed it, it was changed to Ma Jin kissing Shanshan forcefully, but Shanshan stopped her, and in the end he didn't succeed, he just kissed Shanshan's palm.

Can this be called a kissing scene?
Huang Bo pretended to turn a blind eye to Lin Yuan's contemptuous gaze, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, who do you think I should cast for the remaining roles?"

Now that Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, and Shu Qi have been confirmed as the four leading actors, there are still two more roles, the company boss and the office director, and a supporting cast.

Supporting roles don't matter, and they don't have much role in themselves, even ordinary actors can do it.

But the boss of the company is different from the director of the office. Both of them have distinct characters, and they need suitable actors.

Lin Yuan took a look at the characteristics of these two characters, and immediately thought of two candidates.

"Brother Bo, what do you think of Teacher Yu Hewei and Wang Xun?"

The reason why I think of these two people is because the images of these two people can be said to perfectly fit these two roles.

Yu Hewei played the role of Liu Bei in "New Three Kingdoms" before, with a calm and stable image, but recently because of the emoji pack of spitting in "The Mansion Gate 2", it suddenly became popular on the Internet. This strong image contrasts with the The role of the boss in the script can be said to be more appropriate.

As for Wang Xun, when he was recording "Extremely Challenged", he gave people a feeling of playing tricks, and his own image is also very suitable for the office director. Absolutely a real character!
After hearing the two candidates proposed by Lin Yuan, Huang Bo seemed to compare the images of the two when they played in his mind.

After a few seconds, Huang Bo said with satisfaction: "That's right, I'll ask my assistant to contact Mr. Yu and Wei. I'll call Wang Xun later."

Huang Bo looked at Lin Yuan now, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.

Not only helped him and Wang Baoqiang save a lot of actor's salary at once, but also gave him a lot of suggestions for the script, and even the two actors given in the casting are very suitable. If there is no Lin Yuan, he these It will take another week or two to delay the work at least.

Seeing that Huang Bo's script has been completed in sevens and eighties, Wang Baoqiang felt a burst of envy in his heart.

If he had known earlier, he would have brought the script over and asked Lin Yuan to help him read it. Now that Lin Yuan has done him such a big favor, he is too embarrassed to ask Lin Yuan to follow him to his house to read the script. He can only find a chance to read it next time. Invite Lin Yuan out for dinner, and then let Lin Yuan help pick out the problems in the script.
