Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 199 Became the director of "The God of Medicine"!
After reading the four scripts brought by director Ning Hao, the one that left the deepest impression on Lin Yuan was the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

From the perspective of film awards, the scripts of "Sweet Life" and "Journey to Clouds and Water" are definitely qualified to hit major domestic gold awards. The reason is very simple. Don't look at domestic commercial films that have won Nominated for major awards, but the movies that can really win the awards in the end are still these drama movies that tend to have deep meaning.

But if you look at the stability of the box office, the most suitable filming for Lin Yuan is definitely the script of the movie "Xiu Chun Dao·Sura Battlefield".

As the sequel to "Embroidered Spring Knife".

This movie is definitely a standard commercial movie. This kind of movie is not so strict in the details of the shooting process. More importantly, there are previous movies as a reference, and things that require Lin Yuan's attention during shooting will not be so strict. There are too many, which is most suitable for a new director like Lin Yuan.

As for the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", it can be regarded as a commercial film with practical significance. As long as the director can perfectly present the story in the script on the screen, then this movie can not only hit the domestic market Big gold award, and the box office can also be guaranteed.

Of course, the premise of all this is that there are no problems in the filming of the film.

For a newcomer like Lin Yuan who has no experience in directing films, it is somewhat difficult for him to challenge a film of this kind.

So after hearing what Lin Yuan said.

Ning Hao didn't rush to answer, but pondered for a while.

He originally wanted Lin Yuan to shoot the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife: Asura Battlefield". First, this movie was relatively simple to shoot, and in addition, Lin Yuan had acted in this movie and was praised by the road director. It can also be more handy.

The second is the role of Ding Xiu played by Lin Yuan in "Embroidered Spring Knife", which left a deep impression on the audience at the time.

If Lin Yuan can become the director of "Embroidered Spring Knife: Asura Battlefield", then the topic will be directly filled, not only will it have a good effect in the promotion of the film, but it will definitely explode at the box office in the end.

So when he came with the script, he also put the script of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" on top.

What he didn't expect was that after reading the script of "Xiu Chun Knife 2", Lin Yuan didn't directly choose this movie, but continued to look back.

After a few seconds, Ning Hao said: "Mr. Lin Yuan, are you sure you don't want to consider the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife: Battlefield of Shura"? If you direct and act in this movie, I'm sure the final box office results will be good." It must be very explosive."

Lin Yuan compared the scripts of the two films in his mind, and finally felt that the script of "The God of Medicine" was more attractive, so he said in a firm tone: "I still want to try the script of "The God of Medicine". For the movie, if the shooting results are not satisfactory, Director Ning, you can replace me at any time, and I will be named as the assistant director."

Seeing this, Xu Zheng also gave Ning Hao a wink.

They all know how good the script of this movie is, and the difficulty of filming is indeed not small for Lin Yuan, a rookie director. It is not difficult to finish filming this movie smoothly.

Seeing that Lin Yuan had said so, Ning Hao also agreed directly.

Just after Ning Hao agreed to hand over the script to Lin Yuan for filming, Xu Zheng quickly changed the subject: "Then let's make a decision like this, it's getting late now, I'll invite the two of you to have a meal nearby. "

Ning Hao replied with a smile: "That's a good relationship. Not only have we reached the first cooperation with Mr. Lin Yuan, but now we have a dinner for nothing."

As Ning Hao's voice fell, Xu Zheng tasted it carefully, and frowned suddenly: "Mice, it's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

"I found a director for you, and now I want to treat you to dinner. It doesn't make sense. You have to invite us for this meal."

"Okay, okay, I invite you, why do you, a film producer, still goof around!"

The three of them burst into laughter, and after teasing each other a few words, the relationship was also drawn closer.

In a private room of a hotel.

After ordering the food, taking advantage of the gap before the food was served, Xu Zheng also looked at Lin Yuan, and then asked, "Lin Yuan, do you usually know how to make movies?"

Lin Yuan shook his head.

He is a walk-on in Hengdian, where did he learn how to make movies.

At that time, it was pretty good to have a special actor and eat enough. I never thought that I would be able to direct and act in a movie by myself one day.

After signing with Xitian Media and making his debut, he basically studied courses in acting.

He is good at acting, but when it comes to making movies, compared to Xu Zheng, he is at the level of a primary school student.

However, Lin Yuan didn't understand anything. From the beginning of filming "Tang Detective", as long as he was free, he would sit next to the director, and then sit by the side to learn how other directors directed a good movie.

Over time, I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run away.

Basically, he also knows by heart what the director should do when he is filming.

Seeing Lin Yuan shaking his head, Xu Zheng said in relief, "Don't worry, it's actually not that difficult to make a movie. Didn't you see a saying in our circle, 'Actors are excellent when they are directors'. Based on your current understanding of the script, how can you make a movie? There must be no problem making this movie, but if you want to make it well, you need some talent."

Having said that, Xu Zheng deliberately coughed twice and straightened his chest.

There are not many actors who have transformed into directors, but there are very few like him who have achieved great results on both sides.

Not to mention great attainments, but definitely a bit of talent.

Seeing Xu Zheng's stinky fart, both Lin Yuan and Ning Hao couldn't help snickering.

Lin Yuan immediately picked up the teapot, filled Xu Zheng's cup with tea, and then began to tease: "Brother Zheng, how about my talent?"

"That's right, you're much more talented than Huang Bo!"

Xu Zheng smiled and talked about the business: "Basically, you don't have to worry about making a movie, but you have to pay more attention to the crew and actors."

The crew is usually a temporary team formed to complete the filming of a certain movie or TV series, and basically announces its disbandment after the filming is completed, unless Xu Zheng and Ning Hao have made too many movies, they basically have Own fixed crew team.

For them, it couldn't be easier to set up a crew.

But after all, Lin Yuan is making a movie for the first time. If he wants to shoot a movie with his own style, whether it is the crew or the actors, he has to go through his own selection to achieve the best effect.

As Xu Zheng talked about the business, Lin Yuan nodded slowly after hearing this.

This matter is indeed something worth worrying about for a new director, but unfortunately for Lin Yuan, it is not a troublesome matter at all.

The investor behind him is Guangguang Media, backed by capital, he needs to worry about these things?

When the time comes, let Enlight Media help to set up a creative team, and determine the executive director, actor assistant director, production director, coordinator, outreach producer, etc. The time is directly handed over to the production director. As the director, he only needs to confirm the role actor.

After chatting for a while, the food was served.

Ning Hao and Xu Zheng taught Lin Yuan their filmmaking experience while eating.

After a while, the three of them chatted about casting actors, and the two of them also recommended several good actors to Lin Yuan.

When it came to casting the film, Lin Yuan suddenly raised his head and glanced at Xu Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, are you interested in acting in this movie?"

"I?"

After hearing this, Xu Zheng hung the chopsticks holding the meat by his mouth, and he didn't send it in for a long time.

His eyes were full of surprise.

Apparently, he never thought that Lin Yuan would directly target him.

Xu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What role do you want me to play?"

Lin Yuan looked directly into Xu Zheng's eyes, and slowly uttered two words: "Lu Yong."

Regarding Lin Yuan's answer, let alone Xu Zheng, even Ning Hao was stunned.

"Lu Yong?"

Xu Zheng asked in a puzzled tone, "I'm playing Lu Yong, so what are you playing?"

They have all read the script. Lu Yong is the protagonist with the most roles in the script of "The God of Medicine", and he is also the character who can best reflect the character's growth.

To put it simply, this kind of role is the male lead in the movie.

But now, in the first movie that Lin Yuan directed and acted in, he didn't play the leading role, so let him do it. What's the reason?
If it weren't for Lin Yuan's serious expression, Xu Zheng really thought Lin Yuan was joking with him.

Lin Yuan didn't answer Xu Zheng's question, but asked instead: "Brother Zheng, don't you think Lu Yong's character is very similar to the Pan Xiao you played in "No Man's Land"?"

In the movie "No Man's Land", Pan Xiao was a selfish person at the beginning. The process of human transformation.

And in the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Lu Yong started from being a health care product vendor, then wanted to make money by selling fake medicines, and finally after getting to know the leukemia group deeply, he took risks for the sake of his patients and risked being caught. The risk of arresting and smuggling counterfeit medicines also shows the brilliance of human nature.

As an actor, Lin Yuan thought he could play the role of Lu Yong well.

But from the director's point of view, since there are suitable and experienced actors, why doesn't he let Xu Zheng play?

What's more, if he plays the role of Lu Yong, he will definitely be like Huang Bo at that time, he has to be busy with filming and filming at the same time, and doing so will have some impact on the effect of filming.

Instead of being busy juggling both ends, it is better to play an equally challenging role. Anyway, with his current acting skills, he can basically play any role with ease.

Ning Hao didn't speak.

From the very beginning, he planned to let Xu Zheng play the role of Lu Yong.

It's just that after Lin Yuan took over the script, he didn't intend to interfere with the filming. The director Lin Yuan was in charge of casting the casting. Besides, if Lin Yuan played the role of Lu Yong, in his opinion, it would be fine. There is no problem at all, after all, Lin Yuan's acting skills, he knows it all too well.

Now that Lin Yuan is going to let Xu Zheng play the role of "Lu Yong", Ning Hao also nodded in a subtle way.

At least from this point, it can be seen that Lin Yuan is responsible enough to be a director.

Seeing that Xu Zheng didn't answer, Lin Yuan directly quoted: "Brother Zheng, what do you think of the salary of 500 million yuan?"

This is the first time that Lin Yuan paid someone else for a film.

Giving a salary of 500 million yuan at once, to be honest, I still feel a little bit distressed.

If he hadn't thought of Guangguang Media's investment, he would have almost said the friendship price of 500 million.

Xu Zheng waved his hand, and declined in a low voice: "It's not about the salary, if I play Lu Yong, which role will you play as the director?"

This is Lin Yuan's first self-directed and acted film. How can there be a star who directs and acts in his debut film and goes to play the male lead?
He recommended the script to Lin Yuan, but in the end he snatched Lin Yuan's male number one.

Is this appropriate?

"It's fine for me to play the role of Lu Yiyi. If it's really not possible, let the screenwriter teacher add some scenes to me. That's okay, right?"

Lin Yuan put on a look that Xu Zheng would not give up if he didn't agree.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Xu Zheng had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, can I act?"

In the end, I still didn’t forget to make a complaint: “At most, other crews will direct and act on their own. Our crew is good, and the producers have to go to the set to film.”

Just after Xu Zheng agreed, Lin Yuan smiled sarcastically, and teased: "By the way, Brother Zheng, since you said just now that it's not about the salary, why don't the salary be reduced to 3000 million?"

"Go away, it won't work if you miss a piece!"

After eating with Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we returned to the apartment.

Tell Miss Xia and Mr. Li about the movie script.

When and where the filming will start, these things have not yet been decided, but Vice President Li of Guangguang Media will help to bring out the main creative team of the film crew first.

Two days passed in a flash.

The crew had just passed their vacation, and received a call from Huang Bo early in the morning.

There is nothing else, just inform Lin Yuan that he is going to shoot the last scene of "A Good Show" in a mental hospital.

It is said to be a mental hospital, but in fact it is just that the crew found a suitable community.

In order not to affect the normal life of the residents in the community, the crew took advantage of the afternoon when there were fewer people to shoot. The last scene took three full days, and it was finally finished.

That night, Lin Yuan followed the crew to a nearby restaurant for a wrap-up banquet.

The production team's wrap-up banquet basically consisted of three tricks. Except for the round of giving out red envelopes, which caused cheers from the whole crew, the rest of the time, everyone was basically busy cooking.

During the meal, Huang Bo also asked about Lin Yuan's filming.

He has a good relationship with Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, so he naturally knows that Lin Yuan has taken over the script of Bad Monkey Films.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the casting of the movie. After all, Lin Yuan had already asked Xu Zheng to play the role of Lu Yong. If Wang Baoqiang was cast in this movie again, wouldn't that be a deliberate mess?
As for the mutual guest appearances in each other's movies that the three of them agreed at the beginning, the three of them actually knew it well.

Take Huang Bo's "A Good Show" as an example.

Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang have so many roles, and they are not paid, and they act in friendship with zero pay. Is it possible?

If you really want to do this, will the management still be willing to spend such a high salary to invite them to film in the future?

But it's different in "Havoc in Tianzhu". Lin Yuan and Huang Bo were guest stars in the first place, and they didn't have many roles. They claimed that they were starring in friendship with zero pay, and it wouldn't have any impact on their commercial value. On the contrary It can help the movie "Havoc in Tianzhu" create a little heat and attract more fans to buy tickets to watch.

Otherwise, with Wang Baoqiang's investment of less than [-] million yuan, it is obviously impossible for this movie to achieve a high box office.

When Lin Yuan came here, he didn't mention Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang's role in the movie either. First, he couldn't afford the two of them. Second, there was indeed no suitable role for the two of them in the script, so he didn't talk about it at all. thing.

After a few brief chats, Lin Yuan began to bring the topic to Wang Baoqiang's upcoming movie "Havoc in Tianzhu".

"Brother Baoqiang, when are you going to start shooting that movie?"

Wang Baoqiang thought for a while and replied, "After the Chinese New Year."

After hearing this answer, Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

It just so happened that he could finish the matter before the Chinese New Year, and Wang Baoqiang only made a cameo appearance, so there was no time wasted. Basically, he could start filming the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" after the Chinese New Year.

After the film "A Good Show" was finished, Lin Yuan finally had a few more quiet days.

When I was in the apartment, apart from reading the script of "The God of Medicine", I was thinking about the casting of the movie characters.

There are only two roles currently tentatively scheduled.

Except for some roles that can be played by group actors or special actors, there are still five roles that have more roles that have not been finalized. These have to be carefully selected by the director himself.

But before he could finalize the list of actors, Master Xing called his mobile phone.

Before answering the phone, Lin Yuan knew that Master Xing was calling to promote the "Mermaid" movie.

as predicted.

The two chatted for about half an hour, basically discussing the promotion of the release of the "Mermaid" movie.

According to Lin Yuan's idea, it is to prepare the main creative team to participate in variety shows and media interviews, and through short-term exposure, the audience's expectations for the movie will be increased.

However, Master Xing does not seem to like participating in these variety shows.

We must know that most of the netizens' expectations for the movie "Mermaid" come from Master Xing, followed by the leading actor Lin Yuan. If Master Xing does not participate in these variety shows, the discussion of the movie will definitely be greatly reduced.

In the end, the two discussed for a long time, and only set the time for the premiere press conference.

The premiere press conference will start on Christmas Day on December 25, and it will be officially released on New Year's Day on January [-].

You can tell from the release date.

The movie "Mermaid" is bound to win the box office champion during the Spring Festival!
