my movie years

Chapter 42 Business mutual bragging (please recommend, please collect ~)

After Liu Zhenwei finished dealing with the media, he returned to the crew of "The Treasure Box", and suddenly remembered that there were several mainland actors in the crew.

So he approached Sun Li and asked, "There is a director named Zhang Hao in the Mainland, do you know him?"

Sun Li nodded and said, "I know him, but he doesn't know me, the one who filmed "Manslaughter"."

"Have you seen the movie? Is it good?" Liu Zhenwei then asked.

"I went to see it with Deng Chao, and it was pretty good." Sun Li replied, thinking about something, and added: "Ask Guo Tao, he is the lead actor in the film."

"That's right!" Liu Zhenwei slapped his head and called Guo Tao over, asking him something about Zhang Hao.

"Director Zhang, he is very mature! He is also very smart, and he is very experienced in running the crew. When we were filming, the crew was a little bit dissatisfied with his young age, and looked down on him." Guo Tao said.

"Why?" Liu Zhenwei was puzzled.

Guo Tao hesitated before saying: "The main reason is that Zhang Dao is based on his background, so many people are unavoidably a little unbalanced, and they will work in the same way as they do."

Liu Zhenwei nodded. When he first directed, he also encountered this kind of situation, and it was a headache at that time.

"Then what happened later? How did he solve these problems?" Liu Zhenwei asked.

"Later... there was no later, Director Zhang had a very clear goal from the beginning, he was only here to work, not to engage in personnel struggles and quarrels.

So if you can't do well, find the relevant person in charge, and do business! "Guo Tao recalled Zhang Hao's performance in the crew, feeling a little bit embarrassed.

In the crew, Guo Tao only saw Zhang Hao quarreling with the assistant director Cui Lihui, and almost never had red eyes with anyone else.

If you don't accept it, you can't accept it, and if you look down on it, you can look down on it. He is the director, holds the greatest power in the crew, and has a natural advantage. There is no need to get angry with the crew.

Zhang Hao himself said in private: "I am a straightforward person, and I don't want to mess around in the stinky ditch, arguing with stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Whatever they say, as long as the work I set is completed with quality and quantity, nothing else matters. "

If it is another novice director, Zhang Hao will still be deceived by the crew if he does this, because the novice has no experience.

But Zhang Hao is different, what is wrong can be seen at a glance, as if he has a pair of piercing eyes.

Then I ordered the relevant departments of the crew to make corrections, and it’s fine if they don’t. Do you remember what was written in your contract?Don't take the money, you can leave.

As time went by, the crew no longer dared to do small tricks, because they really couldn't fool Zhang Hao.

The money is in the hands of others, and no money will be paid if the work cannot be completed.

Everyone came out to make money, so there is no need to offend the director because of a trivial matter, except for that unlucky assistant director Cui Lihui.

But Cui Lihui has disappeared from the circle and stayed away from the film and television industry. This is his punishment.

On the contrary, Zhang Hao is doing well now, and has become the focus of the media. This popularity makes second- and third-tier stars envious.

From Guo Tao's mouth, Liu Zhenwei got to know Zhang Hao. This is a young director with many ideas, mature style and strong control.

It is surprising that such a director has emerged from the mainland.

As for media reports, knowing the confrontation between him and Zhang Hao, Liu Zhenwei felt indifferent.You can only trust one-third of what the media says, and it's normal for young people to be a little arrogant.

After understanding the matter, Liu Zhenwei was interviewed by the media again, and Liu Zhenwei praised Zhang Hao in public, and his sincerity did not seem to be fake.

Zhang Hao was also very sensible, and immediately accepted the interview, and had a wave of business exchanges with Liu Zhenwei.

The antagonism between the two deliberately created by the media disappeared in this way, but it created a feeling that the two cherish each other, and the senior is optimistic about the younger.

Although, among them, because of the domestic sci-fi movie, the media, which was angry and angry because of the failure to create a confrontation, ridiculed them again.

However, this did not affect Zhang Hao's mood at all. After the "Genius Gunner" press conference was held, the film entered the preparatory period.

Various brokerage companies heard the news, and hurriedly contacted China Film and Bona Pictures, trying to bring their own artists.

There are also those who put their minds on Zhang Hao. In the past few days, Zhang Hao has 'met' many celebrities at China Film and Bona Pictures.

"Hi Director Zhang, I'm the manager of Tianyu Media, this is Li Sheng, an artist under my banner, Li Sheng, please say hello to Director Zhang."

At the manager's suggestion, a girl with a contagious smile bowed sweetly and said hello: "Hello Director Zhang, I'm Li Sheng."

Zhang nodded and said nothing.The two of them didn't get too entangled, and it was over after just saying hello, and the scale was right.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of people who have entrusted their connections and planned to add roles to Zhang Hao's crew, but they all returned in vain.

Both China Film and Bona are big companies, but because of the good performance of the last project, they gave Zhang Hao enough trust.

Haotian Studio itself also participated in the investment of the film and is also one of the investors, which makes Zhang Hao qualified to say no to actors who walk away.

Of course, if the third master and Yu Dongsai are people, Zhang Hao thinks about it, and it doesn't matter if some less important characters sell favors.

In fact, even Da Mi Mi's position as the female number one is still unstable. If she fails the audition, Zhang Hao will not use her either.

And "Genius Gunner" is mainly composed of four main actors, two academic masters, and two rich children.

It is impossible for Zhang Hao to use a bunch of 27 or 23-year-old actors to act tenderly as a high school student aged [-] or [-]. Da Mi Mi can play because she is only [-] years old this year.

The current big power is a real girly feeling, unlike later, it is often hyped up girlish, but in fact it is a young woman.

Walking into the meeting room, the producer Liu Hao cooperated with Zhang Hao again, which felt like Zhang Hao's queen producer.

Zhang Hao saw that everyone was almost there, so he started the project preparation meeting.

"In the past few days, we have released a lot of roles, and we have received a lot of audition requests, as well as actors' resumes. Director Zhang, what do you think about the choice of actors?" Liu Hao asked.

Zhang Hao stroked his chin and said, "The four leading actors, except for the role of Da Mi Mi, I want to go to school to find the other three."

"Going to high school?"

"No, go to the Acting Department of the Film Academy and look for freshmen." Zhang Hao said.

Liu Hao wrote down in his work diary: "I'll contact the school and arrange an audition then."

No one discussed why the role of Da Mimi didn't audition. This is a back door Zhang Hao opened for Da Mimi.Although Zhang Hao himself said that he needs to pass the audition of Da Mi Mi, everyone has already made a default decision by default.

Young people, take care of the one you like, no problem.

Not to mention Zhang Hao, even directors in their 50s and [-]s sometimes arrange for their bedmates to play a role, but the role played by Da Mi Mi is more important.

But if you want to say that Da Mi Mi is not suitable for a female number one, then you can't say it.

She is one of the four little actresses. Sister Immortal is currently starring in Hollywood blockbusters and has no interest in Zhang Hao's project. The other two Zhang Hao are not familiar with each other. The most popular one can only be Da Mi Mi.

Other actresses are not as popular as Da Mi Mi and younger, and young ones are not as popular as Da Mi Mi.

The four leading actors have finished discussing for the time being, and Zhang Hao talked about other roles: "The father of the leading actor Xiao Lin, who do you think is suitable? He is around 50 or [-] years old, and the acting skills are good and the price is not expensive."

Liu Hao thought about it and suggested, "How about we find actors from Hong Kong Island? The film is shot on Hong Kong Island, and using Hong Kong Island actors can solve a lot of troubles."

"I think it's okay, but Hong Kong actors generally can't speak Mandarin well, and I'm afraid they will need dubbing at that time." Zhang Hao pondered.

"How is Qin Pei?"

"Qin Pei? Is he too old? I think he should be 64 years old this year!"

"It's okay, we can solve it with makeup technology.

Qin Pei has a wide network of contacts in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island. His younger brothers Er Dongsheng and Jiang David are both well-known filmmakers in Hong Kong Island, which can save us a lot of trouble. "Liu Hao's reason is very sufficient and pertinent.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao felt that Qin Pei was indeed a good candidate, so he agreed: "Send him an invitation first, and see if he is interested."

"Okay, what about the other characters?" Liu Hao asked.

"You and Dong Chunzhi auditioned together, and finally gathered them here. After I finished casting the starring role, I will fly to Australia in a few days." Zhang Hao decided on the casting.

Dong Chunzhi is the assistant director of the crew and a member of China Film Group.After all, Guo Fan has no experience, so Zhang Hao arranged for him to be an assistant director and learn first by his side.

Although Guo Fan made remarkable achievements later, it was not possible to achieve those later achievements at the beginning.Guo Fan also needs to learn and grow step by step.

Zhang Hao naturally doesn't want to overthrow the seedlings, but hopes that Guo Fan will make steady progress in his studies.

In this way, Haotian Studio will have two ace directors in the future. Even if Guo Fan becomes independent in the future, this good relationship will be a reward.
