The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 289 I Still Refuse

The air conditioner was blowing out cold wind, and the curtains in the reception room were slightly raised, as if trying to escape from here.

Hearing Zhao Yanzi's words, Li Shengyao nodded slightly, and then poured him a cup of tea.

At this time, Zhao Yanzi's manager continued: "Director Li, although our Wei Wei is well-known, she is definitely a very useful actor. She usually works very hard in filming. Flying, she doesn’t need a stand-in, and the "Shaolin Soccer" filmed before, with such an ugly appearance, we went on stage without batting an eye."

Not to mention Zhao Yanzi's character, she really worked hard in acting. Except for her lines, she has never been good, and everything else is above average.

"And our Weiwei's salary is also low. For example, Zhang Ziyi and the others are more expensive than Weiwei. Our Weiwei's 200 million is enough. This price is definitely a good quality and cheap."

Mainland actresses are generally paid relatively low salaries. At this time, Zhang Ziyi may have a salary of 300 million yuan, Zhao Yanzi is next, around 200 million yuan, and other actresses may not be able to earn 200 million yuan.

However, at the price of 200 million, considering Zhao Wei's popularity, she is indeed of high quality and low price.

Seeing that Li Shengyao remained silent, the manager continued, "Director Li, among the actresses in the entertainment industry, which one is as famous as Weiwei and has a wide audience. To put it bluntly, besides Monkey King, Little Swallow is the most famous."

"You're a big director, so your first movie will naturally have an interview. We Weiwei will definitely allow you to have an interview and bring a lot of attention."

There is still nothing wrong, although Zhao Yanzi is called box office poison by the media now, but his reputation is there.

If she is used as the female number one, there is no need for a navy, and the reporters and fans will directly help to stir up the popularity.

"Director Li, we are Weiwei in Hong Kong Island, and Wanwan is also well-known, which will help you sell films."

The agent racked his brains and gave another reason.

"Han Zhu Ge Ge" was considered a big hit in Hong Kong Island back then, but Zhao Yanzi acted in several Hong Kong Island movies, except for "Shaolin Soccer" which did well at the box office, others were so-so.

Facts have proved that Shaolin football is because of Zhou Xingxing.

The Hong Kong Island film circle supported her in the early stage, but later saw that she could not bring in box office, so they stopped cooperating with her.

For Wanwan, Zhao Yanzi is indeed popular, but the film market is dead silent, and Hollywood blockbusters will not have a high box office, which is meaningless.

Li Shengyao thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to hang on to others, and said seriously: "I recognize Teacher Zhao's efforts and her market, but I need to find a good actress for this movie. Physical condition, even if you practice for two months, it will be difficult to reach the standard."

He is telling the truth.

That is "Million Dollar Baby" filmed this year, the old Dongmu's movie, the heroine Hilary Mike is actually about 1.6 meters [-], she looks small when she wears a skirt, but she wears a tight vest , can see very obvious back muscles.

She has always liked fitness, and she prepared for half a year before filming this movie.

Li Shengyao expects two months of training time, of course he needs to find an actress with a better foundation.

To be honest, Li Shengyao was a little worried.

It’s not the 80s now, there were several hit girls on Hong Kong Island back then.

Li Saifeng, Michelle Yeoh and the others have good looks and can fight. Although they have beautiful fists and embroidered legs, they fight cleanly and very beautifully.

He has been looking at actress profiles during this period of time, but he has not found a suitable one.

He found that the slightly suitable person turned out to be Zhang Ziyi, and Mrs. Zhang was a beating girl during this time. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", and "House of Flying Daggers" all have fighting scenes.

The effect is not bad.

However, Zhang Ziyi's film appointment has already been scheduled for two years, and she has "The Banquet", "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "2046" next.

It was impossible for Li Shengyao to wait for her that long.

He went on to find out that Nei Yu had practiced kung fu, or was an actress in Taekwondo, and soon found his sister-in-law, Zhuo Zhi. He asked Zhuo Zhi to come and have a look, and found that her skills were still there, but her overall temperament was too charming, and there was no women's boxing. The feeling of a world champion.

Regarding the actor's temperament, Li Shengyao has always felt that there is no need to adjust it.

It's like Liang Chaowei's acting skills are absolutely fine, but his performance of Zhou Yu doesn't feel like Zhou Yu.

There is also Zhang Jiawei, there is absolutely no problem with his acting skills, but the comedy he plays is so muddy that he can't support the wall.

The vast majority of actors play people who suit their temperament, and there are too few ever-changing actors like Liang Jiahui.

Huo Zhi didn't have that temperament, Li Shengyao would not consider making adjustments, she was not Liang Jiahui, she couldn't adjust.

He then discovered that Liu Tao had practiced taekwondo. It is said that his rank was not low, but he was still not good at it. He was too gentle overall, with big eyes that were tender and tender, and he did not have the temperament of a women's boxing World Cup champion.

When Zhao Yanzi and his manager heard Li Shengyao's words, they both had disappointment in their eyes. They said some polite words, and then left.

Li Shengyao returned to the office and continued to study. He suddenly thought of the group of actors born after [-].

Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi are both dance majors, and their fight scenes in costume dramas are pretty good.

But both of them are too young, and their acting skills are not very good, so they are not suitable to be heroines on the big screen.

These two are actually quite rare, and playing well is also a talent.

Chen Xun, Li Xiaolan, and Dong Xuan all practiced dancing since they were young, but they didn't perform well and were limp.

After these two days, the rest of the post-[-] generation, and the post-[-]s post-[-]s generation of actresses are not good at acting.

The male protagonist of "Let's Punch, Dad" has four daughters in total. If the eldest wants to win the world championship, he must find a decent and imposing one. The second and third children don't need to be so professional.

Liu Shishi is now 17 years old, but he can play the third child.

Just when Li Shengyao was thinking, the assistant knocked on the door and led Zhao Yanzi's manager back.

After the assistant left, she said: "Director Li, you should think about Wei Wei again, she really works hard, if you don't believe her sincerity, after this movie, she can still act in Fenghua drama."

Li Shengyao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then understood what the manager meant.

This is a deal.

Let her act as the female lead in "Let's Punch, Dad", and then she will continue to act in Fenghua drama.

There is no doubt about Zhao Yanzi's appeal in the TV drama circle. If she acts in a TV drama, as long as the script is not too bad, she will definitely be able to make money.

Good chips.

But...Lee Shengyao is responsible for his own works.

In fact, even if Zhang Ziyi came to play the female lead, he would still have to audition. Zhang Ziyi would also need two months of high-intensity training, and his arms and back must have obvious muscles, otherwise he would not agree.

"No, we still have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

After Zhao Yanzi's manager left disappointed, Li Shengyao stood up and came to the window.

The construction site in the distance is under construction, and the tall and long tower crane is particularly conspicuous, and it plays a very important role.

But who knows, the operator of the tower crane sits in a small iron box-like studio for hours at a time, tired and hot, and needs 100% concentration, the pressure can be imagined.

Li Shengyao felt that he was an operator, looking at the scenery, but actually being cautious.
