Actor without ambition

Chapter 305

In just one week, Zhang Yuxuan and the others filmed three episodes of "Run, Brother".

And because of Zhang Yuxuan, the flying guests in the third phase are all big-name stars.

After filming these three episodes, the next thing is to wait for "Run, Brother" to be released on Lu Provincial TV Station.

It's just that at this moment, Zhang Yuxuan received a letter.

To be honest, Zhang Yuxuan was a little confused when he received this letter.

What age is this, why do people still write letters?Moreover, it was still written to yourself?

Zhang Yuxuan looked at the five big brush characters of "Zhang Yuxuan personally entrusted" written on the letter, and was a little bit lost.

Zhang Yuxuan opened the letter, and then saw a piece of letter paper, densely filled with words, and it was written with a brush, which looked delicate and natural, with firm and soft brushwork, and clear and timeless fonts, which can be said to be self-contained—— Well, Zhang Yuxuan can't understand it, and thinks that the writing of this word should be okay.

"Brother Yuxuan..."

Zhang Yuxuan looked at the content of this letter, and chewed the words, but it didn't make people feel jerky and difficult to understand.This letter probably said that I hadn't seen him for a long time. After exchanging a few words, he said that there was a role that was very suitable for me. It was tailor-made for me. , It also said that his movie also invited Zhou Runfa and Ge You from Xiangjiang to star.Then he also said that he believed in Zhang Yuxuan's acting skills very much. In this movie, he can show his acting skills without reservation, and let others see what is the actor of the new era.

Finally, it was Jiang Wen's signature.

Zhang Yuxuan was a little speechless, this Jiang Wen, if he wants to invite himself to make a movie, just say it directly, why is he still talking and writing letters for a while?

However, Zhou Runfa, Ge You, and Zhang Yuxuan felt that if there were no accidents in Jiang Wen's movie, it should be the famous "Let the Bullets Fly".

However, in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", Zhang Mazi played by Jiang Wen, Master Huang played by Zhou Runfa, and Master Tang played by Ge You.It seems that there are only these three protagonists in total, and the remaining characters, who have the most roles in the scene, are probably Hu Wan who shouted the phrase "Isn't this bullying honest people?"

And Hu Wan, not to mention the little villain, is still a dog's leg.

He Zhang Yuxuan has the highest box office box office and is also the best actor of the Golden Rooster Award, so he plays such a role?Is this appropriate?
Or is Jiang Wen going to let him play Zhang Mazi, or is it Master Huang?

To be honest, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't play these two roles either!Zhang Yuxuan has acting skills, but it can't be considered top-notch. In addition, in terms of image, Zhang Yuxuan is not suitable at all.So, in the end, it's pretty much this Hu Wan's role.

To be honest, the role of Hu Wan is not suitable for Zhang Yuxuan's current position.

Just like Zhou Xingxing or Kung Fu Dragon, they seldom play supporting roles, and rarely act as supporting roles for others, unless there are special circumstances, such as being forced, such as someone spending a lot of money to praise someone, or returning popularity Wait for the situation, otherwise it would be impossible for them to match others.

And the same is true for Henry Zhang.

Then, the relationship between Jiang Wen, Zhang Yuxuan and Jiang Wen is actually quite ordinary. They have hardly had any cooperation before. Although they can greet each other when they meet, they have not communicated in depth.

So there is no favor, and there is not enough relationship. It is impossible for Zhang Yuxuan to play the role of Hu Wan, even if "Let the Bullets Fly" is indeed a good movie.But Zhang Yuxuan doesn't lack one or two good movies now.

However, in Jiang Wen's heart, besides asking Zhang Yuxuan to play the role, he also said that Zhang Yuxuan would take his artists to the crew to have a look. If so, Zhang Yuxuan can bring his own artists to participate in this movie together.

Here, it is resource exchange again.

If Zhang Yuxuan wants to give Shen Teng and Zhang Yi the role in "Let the Bullets Fly", then in exchange, Zhang Yuxuan has to act in this movie, otherwise he will not be discussed.

The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" is not indispensable to Zhang Yuxuan, but it is a very precious opportunity and qualification for Shen Teng, Zhang Yi, and even Liu Yan and Yang Mi.

"I found that being my own boss is not very good. There are too many things to consider." Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help shaking his head: "Forget it, who makes me not alone now. And "Let the Bullets Fly" is indeed a good movie. movie of.

So Zhang Yuxuan and Jiang Wenyue met.

……

"Good guy, are you here to bring all the artists under your banner?"

When meeting Zhang Yuxuan, Jiang Wen was also a little surprised when he saw that Zhang Yuxuan was followed by four people, two men and two women.

According to Jiang Wen's original intention, he asked Zhang Yuxuan to bring someone with him, and then Jiang Wen directly accepted the other party and gave the other party a role, so there was no need to go through any auditions or the like.

But Jiang Wen didn't expect that Zhang Yuxuan would bring Zhang Yi Shen Teng and Yang Mi Liu Yan directly.

"No, no, I signed five artists in my studio, and I brought four. Not all of them." Zhang Yuxuan shook his head and said.

"..." Jiang Wen looked at Zhang Yuxuan speechlessly, then his eyes swept over Zhang Yi Shen Teng, Liu Yan and Yang Mi.

"Hello Director Jiang." Yang Mi and the others quickly greeted Jiang Wen with a smile.

"Yeah. Sit down too." Jiang Wen nodded.

After everyone sat down, Jiang Wen looked back and forth at Zhang Yi and the others.

To be honest, when Jiang Wen saw Zhang Yi, he paused for a moment.How should I put it, generally speaking, for a person like Zhang Yi who is not outstanding in appearance to survive in the entertainment industry, he must have better abilities than ordinary people.

So Zhang Yi was either lucky or good at acting, so an actor like Zhang Yi was easy for Jiang Wen to catch.

Then there is Shen Teng - a little boy.This was Jiang Wen's first impression of Shen Teng.

At this time, Shen Teng hadn't gained weight yet, and his face didn't have so many wrinkles, and he still looked white and tender, and still looked so handsome.

So Jiang Wen's first impression of Shen Teng was pretty average, neither bad nor good.

Then there is Yang Mi, a pretty girl with a sweet smile on her face. It doesn't matter whether she has acting skills or not. Just her looks alone can act as a vase in a movie. Luckily Fortunately, it can still become popular, just like the star girl.

When Jiang Wen's eyes fell on Liu Yan——hey guy, he didn't expect that this Liu Yan, who was above average in appearance, had such a fierce figure.This kind of figure, even in the entertainment industry, is not uncommon.

Apart from other things, some women with a figure like Liu Yan are really suitable for acting.

"Director Jiang, you don't need to give them very good roles, just let them play a small role in your movie." Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile.

Jiang Wen rolled his eyes: "The four of them, um, this, and these two I can arrange, this, the face is a little pale, it's not a suitable movie."

The smile on Shen Teng's face froze.

Zhang Yuxuan brought the four of them here, and the other three were selected, but he was the only one who was pulled down. This made Shen Teng have the urge to scold his mother: "Pale face?What's wrong with your face?Pale face eating your rice?Co-authoring you think everyone looks like you, so rough? '

Zhang Yuxuan didn't expect Jiang Wen to say that, his expression was a bit astonished, and then he couldn't help but smile and look back at Shen Teng. Indeed, the current Shen Teng, how should I put it, is worthy of being a military art school grass, this face has not been tossed Guo: "Director Jiang, look at what you said, the face is white, isn't there a makeup artist who can just paint him black, if it doesn't work, I'll let him go to the beach to bask in the sun, and his face will turn dark in one day."

"...All right, all right, it's just a small role."

"Small roles are fine, small roles are fine."

After finalizing the matter, Zhang Yuxuan asked Zhang Yi and the others to leave, and then Jiang Wen began to talk to Zhang Yuxuan about the script, the plot, the characters, and how to shoot.

After all, Zhang Yuxuan is famous now, Jiang Wen should also show his respect for Zhang Yuxuan, mainly to analyze the role to Zhang Yuxuan in advance, let Zhang Yuxuan go back to think about it, hone his acting skills, and adapt to the role. It will be smoother when shooting.After all, in Jiang Wen's movie, there are several Best Actors. Although Zhang Yuxuan is also a Best Actor, he is still too young after all.

Give Zhang Yuxuan more time, so that in the future when he is filming with Zhou Runfa, Ge You and even Jiang Wen, he will be able to catch the scene.

In fact, if Zhang Yuxuan hadn't won the Golden Rooster Award for best actor, Jiang Wen would not have invited Zhang Yuxuan to act in his play.Even if the winner of the Golden Rooster Award may have some moisture, it at least proves that Zhang Yuxuan himself has sufficient acting skills.

"That is to say, you plan to let yourself play Zhang Muzhi, Zhou Runfa as Huang Silang, Ge You as Master Tang, me as Hu Wan, and Liu Jialing as the county magistrate's wife?"

"Yes." Jiang Wen nodded.

"Why did you choose Zhou Runfa and Liu Jialing?" Zhang Yuxuan asked.

"Of course it's because of their good acting skills that they can support the role, and then they have box office appeal." Jiang Wen explained.

"The box office appeal, can they compare to me? Since Director Jiang invited me, then you already know that your movie will not lack movie appeal. What's more, there are you and Ge You in the movie. Zhang Yuxuan said with a smile: "As for the acting skills, although their acting skills are good, there must be some actors whose acting skills are not inferior to theirs."

"This is, you want me to replace you?" Jiang Wen looked a little weird.

"It's mainly because I think the investment in our film is a little too big. My salary is 2000 million, and you and Ge You's salary is more than 1000 million. Liu Jialing's salary is almost 500 million. Just the few of us, the total salary is 4000 million, and then there is Zhou Runfa, his salary alone is 4000 million. The salary of 8000 million is just us." Zhang Yuxuan looked serious talking.

"My movie does not lack investment." Jiang Wen explained domineeringly.

"...It's not a question of lack of investment. Obviously we don't lack the appeal of the movie, so why don't we save the cost of shooting as much as possible without affecting the quality of the movie itself and still not lacking the appeal of the movie? What? Zhou Yun issued a salary of 4000 million yuan, we can use 200 million yuan to hire a top domestic acting veteran, Liu Jialing, this role is not important or light, and we can also change it to someone with a lower salary For example, Liu Yan just now, tell me, is her figure suitable for playing the county magistrate's wife, and her salary is still very low, 30 to [-] is enough." Zhang Yuxuan said seriously.

"...Co-author, you not only want to put actors in my movie, but you also want to be the heroine of my movie, right?" Jiang Wen said angrily.

"Didn't I think that, without affecting the quality, try to save the production cost for the crew as much as possible, so that the cost of your film will be lower, but the box office will be higher, and you will be able to make more money. Over there, isn't it just easier to mess around." Zhang Yuxuan said as if I really thought about you.

"I don't need to save money, and I do very well with investors. Let me tell you, I, Jiang Wen, don't even need to get a script. Just saying that I want to make a movie, a large group of investors will rush to think about it. To invest in my movie. I don't have to worry about it." Jiang Wen said loudly.

"...All right, but I still think, actors, why did you choose Xiangjiang's actors? Oh, I understand, you are trying to curry favor with Xiangjiang's Golden Awards!" Zhang Yuxuan suddenly realized.

"Fart! I'm making a movie, who do I need to curry favor with?" Jiang Wen shouted loudly.

"so--"

"So no matter what you say, it's useless. Zhou Runfa's side has already negotiated, and Liu Jialing's side has already signed the contract, so you can get out of here." Jiang Wen said angrily.

"Okay." Zhang Yuxuan shrugged, he just wanted to see if he could get a better role for his own people, if he couldn't get it, then forget it.

"You boy, after becoming the boss, you are full of calculations." Jiang Wen pointed at Zhang Yuxuan, shaking his head and laughing.

"Hey, it's not that I am my own boss, so I know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. I also have to consider whether my own people can eat enough."

"You think I don't know your worth? Your side, even if you don't open for three years, you won't starve to death." Jiang Wen said as if I had seen through you a long time ago.

After Zhang Yuxuan left, Jiang Wen couldn't help but think of what Zhang Yuxuan said just now, needless to say, Liu Jialing, the salary of more than 400 million yuan, in fact, if domestic women are invited, the acting skills are enough, and the reputation is big enough, in fact, it is almost the same price.

But Zhou Runfa, the 4000 million salary—Jiang Wen really felt that it was a bit inflated.

The main reason is that Zhang Yuxuan has always been the holder of the highest-grossing movie in China. The mainland, and even Xiangjiang's movies, are eager for Zhang Yuxuan to participate, and Zhang Yuxuan is also an actor.In this way, Zhang Yuxuan's salary is only 2000 million.

Zhou Runfa, ten or 20 years ago, he was indeed very powerful, even in Xiangjiang, he was known as the double Monday Cheng, and even Zhou Runfa tried to break into Hollywood, although he failed.But his fame has always been great.

But these years, with the continuous development of movies, Zhou Runfa's name is actually not as useful as before.

But Zhou Runfa never lowered his offer.

Of course, it didn't go up, mainly because Zhou Runfa's salary was almost the highest except for those who went to Hollywood, so there was no room for increase.

Therefore, Zhou Runfa, his salary is a bit inflated.The big reason why it is still so high is that Zhou Runfa is an artist of Xiangjiang.

Of course, there is another point, what Zhang Yuxuan said before is correct, that is, with Zhou Runfa joining, then the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" really doesn't have to worry about the issue of the Academy Awards.

These messy things flashed through Jiang Wen's mind, and finally Jiang Wen couldn't help shaking his head, and threw them out: "It's already been settled, what's the use of thinking about these messy things, it's all because of that brat Zhang Yuxuan, It’s okay to say these things, really.”

……

Just after Zhang Yuxuan signed the contract and decided to star in "Let the Bullets Fly", he received many invitations one after another.

Well, it should be said that since the Chinese New Year, his various invitations have never stopped. Various movies and even TV series are inviting Zhang Yuxuan.

It's just that "Let the Bullets Fly" is heavier.

After that, Zhang Yuxuan received many invitations for two kinds of movies.

"Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", the director is the famous director of Xiangjiang, Xu Ke.

It's just that in this movie, the invitation Xu Ke sent to Zhang Yuxuan was not the first male lead, but the second male lead.Pei Donglai, the nominal second male lead.

Zhang Yuxuan also remembered that the character of Pei Donglai had an exaggerated and weird appearance, and his martial arts were strong. His detective acuity and sense of justice were not inferior.It's also a good character.

But just like Hu Wan in "Let the Bullets Fly" before, this role is not very rare for Zhang Yuxuan, and it doesn't matter whether he plays it or not.However, the movie "Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire" is indeed a pretty good movie.Zhang Yuxuan wondered if he could insert his artists into it.

In addition to "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", there is also the movie "The Orphan of Zhao" directed by Chen Kaige.

To be honest, among the many films directed by Chen Kaige, apart from "Farewell My Concubine", "The Orphan of Zhao" is considered a relatively good film. Would like to act in his movie.At least in Zhang Yuxuan's view, the movie "Orphan of Zhao" is not as good as "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven".
