China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 575: Falling in love and killing each other, fate is predestined!
The book continues from the above:

After Gao Fei and Yang Shuang reached a consensus on the budget for "Wushuang", the project immediately entered the preparatory stage.

As an investor and producer, the leading actor Li Wen is of course none other than Gao Fei.

However, "Wushuang" is different from other movies. It is a standard two-hero model.

The other male lead, Wu Fusheng, was originally written by the director based on Zhou Runfa's film and television image.

In this way, there is no doubt about the choice of the two male protagonists.

It's just that the actors are good actors, but they are really expensive.

You must know that after Fa Ge returned to China from Hollywood, his salary basically started at US$800 million.

For example, in "Let the Bullets Fly", the total investment was only 1.3 million, but Fa Ge's salary alone accounted for 4000 million.

This was all deceived by Jiang Wen's handwritten letter.

Later, with the popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly" and the box office support of the "Macau Storm" series, his salary increased to about 6000 million, which is basically the same as Cheng Long and Jet Li.

So this time, in order to recruit Zhou Runfa, the crew spent a lot of money.

By the way, when people in the industry measure stars' salaries these days, they usually tacitly exclude Gao Fei.

There is no way, who makes this BUG have no reference value at all!

Just like this time, in order to save Fa Ge's face, Gao Fei simply made an offer of 6000 million.

But in addition to this, he will also receive an additional 10% profit share, which can be regarded as making some private money.

Perhaps because Gao Fei and Zhou Runfa spent too much of their budget, Zhuang Wenqiang wanted to be more frugal when choosing other candidates.

For example, we found a cheaper actress to play the role of the heroine Ruan Wen, but Gao Fei heard this and rejected it without hesitation.

After all, the role of Ruan Wen is different from the heroines in traditional Hong Kong movies. This is a character with a full character.

Now that Hong Kong films are gradually declining, such heroines can be said to be very rare.

Gao Fei naturally couldn't let Zhuang Wenqiang be so wasted.

Of course, he is not Jiang Wen, and he cannot bully the director.

Seeing the bitter look on Zhuang Wenqiang's face, Gao Fei immediately promised with great pride:
"Don't worry, I'll make up for any overrun of the budget. You just have to work hard on the film."

Hearing this, Zhuang Wenqiang was immediately overjoyed and wished he could give Gao Fei a kiss and say "My foster father is here".

There's nothing I can do about it. The fathers of current Hong Kong film financiers are becoming more and more stingy.

Basically, wealthy tycoons who have some ideas would rather invest in the mainland than in Hong Kong films.

If this were not the case, the output of Hong Kong films would not be decreasing year by year.

But even with Gao Fei's guarantee, Zhuang Wenqiang still hesitated when he proposed the choice of the heroine.

"Miss Liu? Can she...can handle this role?"

Although it is known that Liu Yifei is the leading actress of Zhouyi, there are even vague rumors in the circle recently that she is the boss lady of Zhouyi.

But Zhuang Wenqiang thought about it and couldn't help but frown slightly and said:

"Gao Sheng, the heroine Ruan Wen has to play two roles."

"No, to be precise, there are three characters."

"In addition to the female painter Nguyen Van and the counterfeiting expert Wu Xiuqing, the heroine actually has to play the role of the male protagonist Li Wen's fantasy neighbor female painter in the movie."

Having said this, Zhuang Wenqiang looked at Gao Fei with his hands spread out, his eyes full of sincerity, and the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

After all, "Wushuang" is a turning point in his career. It can be said that Zhuang Wenqiang cares more about this project than his investors right now.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei was not angry, nor did he use the money owner's momentum to pressure him.

On the contrary, Gao Fei is ready to convince others with reason.

"Sissi is a young and artistic woman herself, so it goes without saying that she is a female painter."

"If you want more literary youth, she can be more literary. She has played many such roles."

"As for Wu Xiuqing, the domineering and sassy banknote counterfeiter, it is not a problem for her."

He casually took the notebook, opened the two projection windows, and placed them in front of Zhuang Wenqiang.

"You can look at the character Shirley Young in the Ghost Blowing Lamp series."

"Sissi may not be a talented actor, but she is definitely a good one!"

"So don't worry about your acting skills. If it doesn't work out, I'll still be there, and I won't let her hold you back."

Gao Fei's words are not that Wang Po is selling her melons and boasting.

In fact, acting is no different from other professional skills. Practice makes perfect.

It's just that most actors don't have that many opportunities to exercise.

Of course, the level of acting skills is also related to the actor's own positioning.

For example, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi are the best examples.In terms of talent, Yang Mi's acting talent is actually better than Liu Yifei's.

Maybe it's because her mother has protected Liu Yifei so well since she was a child. Anyway, Liu Yifei, who lacks life experience and the fireworks of the world, is indeed not as spiritual as Yang Mi's performance in the beginning.

But people are not static.

Because her desire for money is relatively weak, Liu Yifei is more focused on the profession of actor itself.

Simply put, becoming a good actor gives her a stronger sense of accomplishment.

It is precisely because of this mentality that her behavior in the industry is somewhat inappropriate.

To put it simply, he is a bit silly and a bit Buddhist.

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei are just the opposite.

When she was young and ignorant, she might have thought about becoming a people's artist.

But after ten years of hard work in Rong Xinda, she began to only think about becoming famous.

As for acting and other things, although I am still learning, I am not as naive as before.

So as time went by, the development of the two began to show differences.

For example, Yang Mi's acting skills have basically remained unchanged.

Even strictly speaking, it is not as spiritual as her performance ten years ago.

The fundamental reason why there is such a result is that for ordinary commercial movies, her acting skills are enough.

As a result, Yang Mi was naturally too lazy to continue spending time studying performance.

After all, she has this time, wouldn't it be nice for her to make one more movie?

In contrast, although Liu Yifei's film and television works are not as many as Yang Mid's, the total box office of her personal movies is not as high as Yang Mid's.

But the problem is that she is idle enough!

Because she shoots one movie a year, she almost has plenty of time to study the characters before filming each movie.

Of course, this is actually a stupid idea.

After all, not all actresses have such conditions as her.

That is to say, after Gao Fei met, Liu Yifei's film resources have never been lacking, so that she can be so willful.

But then again, although her method was a bit stupid, it was the right way.

Even if the effect is not very obvious at the beginning, after a few movies, the effect will be immediate.

And this is why Gao Fei dared to let Liu Yifei play Ruan Wen.

Because she can control the characteristics of the character herself, which can be literary, cold, and domineering.

Especially when Gao Fei plays the leading role of Li Wen, she can perfectly interpret what infatuation is!
……

Not to mention how busy Zhuang Wenqiang is for the filming of the movie.

After Gao Fei sent the two of them away, he quickly rushed to the racecourse and told Liu Yifei the news.

By the way, I also gave her the script and asked her to think about it in advance.

What makes Gao Fei strange is that after hearing about the movie lineup and investment, Liu Yifei was not shocked at all. Instead, she rolled her eyes and picked up her phone.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei was immediately confused.

"……What are you doing?"

When Liu Yifei heard this, she smiled like a standard fox stealing the chicken.

"Good sisters, of course we have to share with each other."

"Hey~ I'll make a video call with Mi Mi to share the good news with her!"

Gao Fei: (⊙o⊙)……!!!Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Alas~ Gao Fei never expected that the pak choi he once had would now go bad.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei quickly ran away before Yang Mi came back.

Of course, he didn't hang around either.

After confirming the main actors, Gao Fei went to the General Administration to complete the review matter.

Although the subject matter of "Wushuang" is indeed a bit sensitive, this thing is different from those murder crime movies.

It's not even a tutorial on how to kill people. At best, it's just an internal training material for the counterfeit money industry.

So after repeatedly telling Gao Fei not to let the counterfeit banknotes produced by the crew leak out, the General Administration simply stamped his seal.

But if that's all, it's not enough to shock Yang Shoucheng and Zhuang Wenqiang.
