I'm not just a director

Chapter 200

Jiang Pei'an's new film is currently auditioning actors.

I don't know when the news started to spread.

All of a sudden, many actor profiles flew into China Film Group.

The current mainland entertainment industry is not as commercialized and formal as later generations.

Many stars are single gangs, relying on introductions from friends in the circle or crews they have worked with.

After all, there are only a few well-known entertainment companies, and everyone doesn't trust entertainment companies that much.

As for the concept of brokers, it has only gradually become clear in recent years.

So acting alone to help actors is doomed to not have as many actors resources in entertainment companies.

However, there is an advantage of the order-mongering gang. There is no other person to share the profits, so they can earn more.

However, with the standardization of the market and the gradual rise of private entertainment companies, the disadvantages of single gangs have gradually expanded.

Actors have also begun to seek cooperation with large companies and continue to formalize...

Hua Yi, actor management department.

"Bingbing, why don't you try the mirror?"

Wang Jinghua looked at the slightly childish girl in front of her and said.

"Sister Hua, do you think I can do it?"

The girl said a little unconfidently.

The girl has a pair of bright big eyes, and her face is a little chubby, looking a little baby fat.

This girl is Fan Xiaopang and Fan Bingbing, who are called "Returning the Pearl and the Four Beauties".

Fan Xiaopang graduated from Xiejin Academy of Art in Shanghai, and has attracted a lot of attention because of the TV series "My Fair Princess".

Later, Wang Jinghua signed into Huayi.

Among many actresses, Fan Xiaopang is an actor who wants to be popular but is also very sincere.

Of course, if there were no incidents that happened in later generations, she should have become an actress with a ceiling of fame in China...

As the person in charge of the performance of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Wang Jinghua will not let go of these excellent opportunities if there is any disturbance in the major production crews.

"Why can't you?"

Wang Jinghua looked at Fan Xiaopang suspiciously and asked.

Fan Xiaopang said:

"I, I am a little famous because of "Han Zhu Ge Ge", and I have a good relationship with that person. You also know what happened to him and her two years ago..."

Although Fan Xiaopang didn't mention the specific name, Wang Jinghua still recognized what she meant.

Wang Jinghua helped her forehead, and said helplessly:

"Did you also publicly stand in that incident?"

"Uh...that's not true, back then I was filming in a film crew, so the news was relatively closed.

And... that matter hasn't been finalized yet, so I don't dare to take sides rashly..."

Fan Xiaopang said in a low voice.

"Then what are you afraid of, you are just in the same crew as her, and the relationship is okay.

It's the new millennium now, if it's not the palace drama that you guys are filming, how can you sit still! "

Wang Jinghua comforted her.

"Okay, I'll try."

Fan Xiaopang made up his mind.

"Well, last time I introduced Li Bingbing to him, but he turned his head around and turned him down.

This time I will introduce another Bingbing, he can't refuse anymore, he has to give Hua Yi face..."

The more Wang Jinghua talked, the more confident she became.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that in Jiang Pei'an's current position, let alone rejecting her, Wang Jinghua, even if she rejected Huayi, what would happen?
The reason why she said that was to cheer up Fan Xiaopang.

After seeing Fan Xiaopang nodding in agreement, Wang Jinghua said with emotion:
"This incident is also a reminder to all of us. If you are in the entertainment industry, don't make enemies rashly. Maybe one day you will ask someone for it..."

Just like Li Bingbing.

Wang Jinghua did not say this.

……

"Xiao Ming, I received a notice for a movie audition, why don't you try it with me too? It's from Jiang Pei'an's crew."

Said a dark-skinned man in his 40s.

"Thank you Brother Hanyu, I won't go..."

A handsome man shook his head with a wry smile.

He is Huang Xiaoming, who was nicknamed "beautiful wood" by the teacher when he was in school.

At this time, it has been a year since he graduated from Nortel, and he has experienced a lot in this year.

It's also difficult to live with someone to rent and run a scene for filming.

Under the introduction of his teacher, he accepted a play called "The Son of Heaven".

Also because of this play, he has attracted a lot of attention, and he is considered a little famous.

And the man opposite him is Zhang Hanyu, a friend he met during filming.

"Didn't you always want to act in a movie? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Zhang Hanyu continued to persuade.

"Brother Hanyu, I...forget it, you go, wait for your good news."

Huang Xiaoming forced a smile.

Of course he wanted to audition, even if it was a supporting role, he was willing.

but……

When that incident happened, he was that person's classmate, friend and dog licker.

Not only did he publicly stand in support, but he also said a lot of ugly things.

Now let him go back and star in the movie directed by Jiang Pei'an?

This is worse than killing him!
Do you regret it?
If it was Huang Xiaoming who just left school, he would definitely shake his head.

For the goddess, no regrets!

However, he has been in the entertainment industry for a year and has seen too many human relationships, so his attitude is no longer as firm as before.

Even after seeing Jiang Pei'an's excellent works appearing frequently and becoming more and more influential in the entertainment industry, his heart has loosened up a bit.

Back then...it was still too young.

……

China Film Group, audition room.

"This is your biography, go back and think about the script more, come on."

Jiang Pei'an looked at the young man in front of him with a smile and encouraged him.

"Thank you, Director Jiang for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard."

The young man bowed excitedly.

"Okay, by the way, you haven't graduated yet, the teacher allows you to take the role?"

Jiang Pei'an asked suddenly.

The young man grinned and said:
"Originally, the teacher didn't allow us to accept the play now, but after I told Jiang to direct your play, the teacher agreed."

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an couldn't help but say:
"It's been rumored that my crew is a rehearsal for your Chinese opera students before their graduation drama. It seems that your teacher thinks so too."

The young man laughed and said:
"It's mainly Director Jiang who takes care of our Chinese opera students, and we will try our best not to let you down."

Jiang Pei'an nodded, smiled and said:
"Go ahead, the crew will contact you a week before the start of the film."

"okay."

After the young man left, Jiang Pei'an took another look at the resume that the young man had just submitted.

Deng Chao.

Jiang Pei'an smiled, thinking of the phrase "we are tired of logging" that he yelled in the variety show before.

King of Mauritius.

Jiang Pei'an had been interviewing actors for three consecutive days, and Deng Chao was already the seventh confirmed role.

Casting and special effects are done at the same time.

The advance team of Industrial Light & Magic has come to China, and Han Shanping has arranged all of them to Hualong Digital.

Lei Xiuyu looked at the group of technicians from the United States with joy on his face.

All day long, I surrounded those few technicians with greetings, making the technicians of Industrial Light & Magic sigh from time to time, China is indeed a country of etiquette.

After this group of people came over, they first confirmed the script with Jiang Pei'an and made the special effects script.

Professional people do professional things, and Jiang Pei'an didn't participate too much in this area.

It's just that after confirming the desired effect with the people of Industrial Light and Magic, they let it go.

He has more important things to do...

"Beep, beep."

There was a knock on the door, Han Shanping looked up and said with a smile:
"Pei'an, sit down and talk."

Jiang Pei'an walked into the office and handed over the confirmed actor information to Han Shanping.

"Han Dong, please take a look, this is the actor who is currently scheduled for "Inception"."

"It's up to you to decide, you are the director, everything is up to you."

Han Shanping said with a smile.

"I can decide on everything else, but it's the leading role... I need your help to make up my mind."

Jiang Pei'an said slowly.

"Oh, there are people who our director Jiang can't decide? You just send out the invitation with confidence, and the rest of the group will help you."

Even so, Han Shanping still has thick actor information.

What roles each actor plays in the information, as well as the representative works of the actors and the biographies of the characters are all in it.

Han Shanping had also seen these role settings before, so he also took a look at the actors Jiang Pei'an chose.

Then turn directly to the last page, the starring column.

Qi Xiu, the number one male, specializes in stealing thoughts from other people's dreams, and is the leader of this gang of dream thieves.

Qi Xiu's rare skill makes him a coveted target for corporate espionage.

It also cost him his loved ones and made him an international fugitive.

Now, Qi Xiu has a chance to redeem himself, as long as he can complete an impossible task.

Different from the past, the task of Cobb and his team this time is not to steal ideas, but to implant ideas...

Actor to be determined: Zhou Runfa.

Actor introduction: Zhou Runfa, a native of Hong Kong Province, starred in his first movie "Reincarnated Man" in 1976.

In 1980, Xu Wenqiang was played in the Republic of China drama "Shanghai Beach".

In 1984, starring martial arts drama "Swordsman" premiered...

Seeing the actor who was the first to be confirmed, Han Shanping frowned, remained silent for a while, and asked:

"It's not impossible to let Zhou Run send it over, but isn't his age a bit too old?"

"It's a bit big, but it can be alleviated with makeup."

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

In Jiang Pei'an's "Inception", the hero Qi Xiu's age is set to be 27 years old.

Now Fa Ge is 46 years old, and Fa Ge looks a little older, and his visual age looks older than his real age.

Han Shanping didn't speak any more, but slowly turned to the next page.

Seeing the content on the last page, Han Shanping suddenly stopped, and then turned his eyes to Jiang Pei'an.

Jiang Pei'an sat up straight and looked at Han Shanping.

"Hahaha, I said, what are you struggling with, kid? Your relationship is vacillating between yourself and Zhou Runfa."

Jiang Pei'an smiled bitterly and said:

"I've been thinking about this protagonist for a long time, so someone suggested that I could play it, and I'm not a prince who sells melons and brags.

But compared to other people, I think I'm quite suitable, so I want to ask Mr. Han to give you an idea. "

Han Shanping heard the words and said with a smile:
"I think it's quite good to write, direct and act by myself, and it can also take care of overseas markets. Don't worry about it, it's decided for you."

"Han Dong, is that what you decided? Isn't it a bit hasty?"

Han Shanping shook his head and said:
"You are the director of "Inception", you must be more professional than me in choosing actors.

I just want to say that since you have written your name in the pending column, it means that you have already acquiesced in your heart.

If Zhou Runfa can meet all your requirements, there is no such thing as undecided at all, and there will be no other undecided actors. "

Han Shanping's words directly stunned Jiang Pei'an on the spot.

Indeed, from a director's point of view, there is an equal sign between actors and characters.

When the director writes the characters, he should have actors for comparison.

This is why Jiang Pei'an was able to find corresponding actors for other supporting roles in the movie at once.

When he chose Zhou Runfa before, he actually felt that it was not suitable.

It's just that at this point in time, under this circumstance, it is appropriate to choose him.

So what he wrote in the column of the protagonist is to be selected instead of confirmed.

As for writing his own name, although Hu Jing reminded him, he probably felt that he could make up for Zhou Runfa's shortcomings in some aspects.

Or in other words, he felt in his heart that he was the most suitable one.

"Actually, there is another fundamental reason for choosing you."

Seeing that Jiang Pei'an was silent, Han Shanping continued.

"what?"

Jiang Pei'an asked suspiciously.

"Because you are cheap."

"Uh……"

Hearing Han Shanping's words, Jiang Pei'an was at a loss for words.

"Pei'an, do you know Zhou Runfa's current net worth?"

Han Shanping asked suddenly.

Since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award, Zhou Runfa's net worth has been rising steadily.

People's remuneration is now in US dollars, starting at 500 million.

This may not be much compared to Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, but it is 2001 now!
500 million US dollars is enough for Jiang Pei'an to make several "Ghost Story" and "Chain Saw".

Of course, Zhou Run found that it was worth the price now.

"That's why I said that you are very suitable for this role. How about spending all the money we save on production?"

Han Shanping said with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an nodded, smiled and said:
"I know Director Han, I can act with zero pay, as long as you give me a position in the production company."

"Hehe, you little fox, that's fine, you can connect with Sheng Sheng when the time comes."

……

After leaving China Film Group, Jiang Pei'an rushed to Spark Entertainment.

On the way, he kept thinking about the script in his mind.

Now it is a certainty that he will star in "Inception".

In addition to the daily shooting with the crew, he will also spend a lot of time thinking about the role.

Fortunately, he has a "template video" of Xiao Lizi appearing in "Inception" in his mind.

Although his expressiveness may not be as good as that of Xiao Lizi, fortunately, it is still a long time before the official start.

There is still room for change in everything...

"Director Jiang."

"Hello Director Jiang."

"boss."

Arriving at the conference room at the agreed time, Jiang Pei'an glanced at the participants.

Su Qing, general manager of Xinghuo, Zhang Hongguang, music consultant, Shen Yongge, head of Xinghuo's music section, singers Yang Kun, Zhou Peng and others were all present.

"Ahem, let's do it first, let's have a small meeting today about Zhou Peng's new album..."
