This star is too fierce

Chapter 23, Time, Fate, and Luck

After Zhang Zhen was sent to the hospital for diagnosis, bad news came. The situation was not optimistic. He had to be hospitalized after the operation. If he recovered quickly, it would take three months, but if he recovered slowly, it would take less than half a year.

This is how to do?
Zhang Zhen has a lot of roles as the male lead. The key is that Xinzhuan mainly shoots him. There are so many people and machines, so we can’t wait because we can’t afford it. But if we go to shoot other scenes first, we will come back later. Here, going back and forth is also costly, and you have to re-apply.

After Li An held a meeting to discuss, he decided to make a substitution.

So the question is, who to replace?And it was to be negotiated and arrive here for shooting within a week.

Li An first talked on the phone with the other actors who were originally scheduled, but either they had already accepted the play, or they couldn't come within the required time.

At this time, Yuan Heping found him, and after learning that he still hadn't found an actor, he recommended Lu Bu to him.

"Your apprentice?"

"Yes, it's the young man who went to the filming location with me the day before yesterday."

"Oh, him."

Yuan Heping smiled lightly, and said: "He just acted in a play adapted from Gu Long's novel directed by me. He is also the second male lead. You have seen his appearance and body. He is from a martial arts team, and his skills are very good. Fist, foot and weapons are not a problem, as for acting skills, you can try him."

Li An recalled for a moment that he was taller than Zhang Zhen, handsomer than Zhang Zhen, with lighter skin tone, strong body but not fat, he felt okay, thought for a moment, and replied: "Okay, then let him try the play, if it is suitable, I will consider."

Half an hour later, the crew was stationed in an open space outside the site.

Lu Bu changed into costumes and a wig, transforming himself into an exotic handsome man.

The Luo Xiaohu designed by Li An for Zhang Zhen has a rough image, while Lu Bu is more like Luo Xiaohu in the original book, with a handsome appearance and a burly figure.

"Baye, Director Li, then I'll start."

"let's start."

Lu Bu got on the horse, pulled the rein with both hands, and the horse immediately rose. After a while, he clamped the horse's belly, and drove the horse out with a sound of "drive".

He on horseback has an inexplicable aura and a heroic posture.

When he came back, Yuan Heping asked with a smile: "Director Li, do you need to test his kung fu?"

Li An waved his hand and said, "Since he is Director Yuan's apprentice, his skill is naturally not bad."

As he said that, he looked at Lu Bu who had got off his horse. Although he didn't look as immature as a young man, he still wanted Luo Xiaohu who was a little rougher, so he asked, "Can you grow a beard?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes."

After receiving the answer, Li An pondered for a long time before saying to Yuan Heping, "It's him."

Yuan Heping was a little surprised, and asked, "Don't watch his acting?"

Li An smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

In fact, the second female number Zhang Ziyi is also considered a newcomer.

And she was not Yu Jiaolong's No.1 choice. At first, Li An liked Shu Qi the most, but because of his strict requirements, the main actors had to join the group in advance to practice hard and receive devil training, and they couldn't intervene in the middle of the scene. To join the crew, one must concentrate on nothing else. At that time, Shu Qi was very popular. Her agent felt that the cost performance of the drama was relatively low. After weighing it, she finally rejected it. Therefore, Zhang Ziyi, who has been training hard on the crew as a backup tire, had a chance. get this role.

Anyway, they are all newcomers' acting skills, there is not much difference between directing two and directing one.

In this way, Lu Bu picked up another leak.

It seems that the reason why he played the male lead twice is because of "horse".

Could it be that Chitu is helping me?
Anyway, it's good to have drama.

Back to the residence.

Zhang Jin came over immediately, and asked excitedly, "How is it? Is it done?"

He had just seen Lu Bu changed into costumes in front of Li An and Yuan Heping, and even rode around on horseback, so he didn't need to guess, he must be trying out a play.

Lu Bu shook the file bag in his hand, smiled and said, "I got a role."

Zhang Jin exclaimed in surprise: "Bull!"

You know, "Little Li Fei Dao" can't be compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in any respect.

The latter invested 1500 million US dollars, directed by international director Li An, and will be released in Hollywood.

As long as you can play, even a small role, you will benefit a lot.

Lu Bu's luck is really extreme.

While envious, Zhang Jin wentssiped again: "By the way, how much did you pay for the film? It must be more than the 4000 yuan in "Little Li Feidao"?"

Lu Bu didn't speak, just stretched out three fingers.

Zhang Jin let out an "ah" and said, "3000."

Such a low salary?Although it takes longer to make a TV series than a movie, it is a Hollywood blockbuster anyway.

And Lu Bu has also acted as the second male lead, and he is Yuan Heping's apprentice.

Could it be because the role received this time is a small supporting role?
Just as he was guessing wildly, Lu Bu spoke and said with a smile, "Add one more zero."

Zhang Jin suddenly exclaimed: "3? Damn it."

This excitement made Chongqing dialect come out.

You know, it took just over three months for Lu Bu to go from a salary of 6 to 70 yuan to a salary of 4000 yuan, and now it has been more than three months, and he has doubled it almost ten times.

Just terrifying.

Lu Bu was very calm, shrugging his shoulders and said, "It sounds like a lot at first glance, but compared to the original actor Zhang Zhen, there are very few."

Zhang Zhen made his debut in 91. His first film "Guling Street Juvenile Murder" was nominated for Best Actor in the 28th Baodao Provincial Film Golden Horse Awards. Later, he released his first music album "Let's Go Away", starring in literary The movie "Happy Together" has already gained a certain reputation, so the salary is naturally not comparable to him.

3 yuan is low for the lead actor in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but Li An thinks this price is very reasonable.

Because, in his heart, Zhang Zhen is still the best candidate, and he has to do it as a last resort, and agreeing to Lu Bu's role is to give Yuan Heping a favor.

Lu Bu also understands the rules of this industry, fame is money.

So now as long as there is a play to find him, regardless of the size of the role, just one word-accept!

If you can make money and improve your acting skills, why not?
As for the salary, when the popularity increases, it will naturally increase accordingly.

As the sun rises, the temperature slowly rises.

Zhang Zhen's accidental injury delayed three days, and during this period, Zhang Ziyi continued to practice equestrianism and fighting, and Lu Bu didn't need to practice these two, so the overall progress was not affected.

In the morning, Li An conducted a script reading to sort out the scenes to be filmed, and the shooting process was arranged very carefully.

Here I have to mention the difference between Hollywood-produced movies and domestic-produced movies.

The project structure used in the production of most Hollywood films is that the art director and the director of photography cooperate with the director to form the core artistic creation team, and the executive producer and production director serve the producer to form the main management team.

Domestically, the producer, as the representative of the capital, pursues the maximization of profits, and the director, as the core of the entire production team, maintains the quality of the film. In the current domestic film market, the producer or producer often undertakes a balance of interests and The role of the service.

Anyway, whether it is a "producer-centered system" or a "director-centered system", each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

In this temporarily arranged small conference room, there was a person who caught Lu Bu's attention, and that was Zhang Ziyi, who was about to play a rival role with him.
