How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 9 Determining Actors and Starting Filming

Zhang Nan first ruled out Liu Xiaoqing, who is currently the most popular actress in the mainland. This person will have too many black spots in the future, and he is easy to be deceived. People, useless, not cost-effective.

Then Zhang Nan thought about it again, and finally made a decision in his heart after comprehensive consideration. In order to show respect for the existence of Old Luke, he also discussed with him for a while, and finally made the list of several main characters. It was given, and then the list was handed over to Han Sanpin.

Han Sanpin took Zhang Nan's list and looked at it, feeling a little confused.

Master Zhang (Ip Man), played by Zhang Nan, it's no wonder.

But what are the rest?

Mrs. Zhang—Ye Quanzhen (Sea Island), daughter—Xiao Yang Mi, martial arts master who was defeated at the beginning—Zhao Benshan, Jinshan who found fault—Jiang Wen, police apprentice—Li Xuejian.

Choose Jiang Wen and Li Xuejian, Han Sanpin can barely understand.

But the choices of Ye Quanzhen, Xiao Yang Mi and Zhao Benshan left Han Sanpin confused.

If you want an actor from the island, Zhang Manyu is also from the island, and he is even more famous. It doesn't matter that Xiao Yang Mi is just a child, but why did he choose a sketch actor.

Seeing Han Sanpin confused, Zhang Nan didn't explain.

Of course you can't figure it out, some of the people he selected are for the future, such as: Xiao Yang Mi, Zhao Benshan, Jiang Wen, Li Xuejian.

Several people will be quite influential in the mainland entertainment industry in the next few decades.

There are also some who simply make up for regrets, such as Ye Quanzhen.

The appearance of this young man is really not inferior to Zhang Manyu and other peerless beauties, and he is especially like Nakamori Akina.The scene of biting the bullet at the corner of the mouth is really beautiful, but the luck of the stars has not been very good, Zhang Nan wants to help, maybe let these two perform a pair of sisters on the same stage in the future, the effect of the show Absolutely burst.

Of course, there is another aspect of movie box office considerations.

At this time, the box office market for island movies is still quite large. If you choose an artist from an island, it will be easier to promote the movie after it is released.

But the island's film and television industry is no longer good in this era. All the artists Zhang Nan knew have gone to Xiangjiang, and they are all doing well. It is not easy to invite them in a short time.

But even though he didn't understand Zhang Nan's casting direction, since Zhang Nan had decided on the role, Han Sanpin wouldn't just find fault with it.

"Okay, then I will make an announcement according to this list."

Han Sanpin put away the list, "Let's go and see the set built for this movie?"

Zhang Nan and Old Luke nodded.
-
December 1996, 1.

The original [New York Martial Art Museum] project has now been changed to [Beijing Martial Arts Hall].

The shooting location of the entire [Jingcheng Martial Arts Hall] is not big, but consists of martial arts halls, streets, cotton factories and some odd and small places.

The capital studio is strong and has a lot of people. It was built in about a week, and it was delayed until now to wait for a good day.

"Old Luke, burn the incense sticks, hoping to sell well at the box office." Zhang Nan took a handful of incense and handed it to Old Luke.

Old Luke was a little overwhelmed, but felt it was very fresh. After receiving it, he imitated others and inserted the incense stick.

"Now I announce that [Jingcheng Martial Art Museum] will officially start filming."

Zhang Nan announced loudly to a group of behind-the-scenes staff of the crew standing in the audience, and the audience applauded.

Jiang Wen in his 30s, Li Xuejian and Zhao Benshan in their 40s, Ye Quanzhen in his 20s, and Yang Mi in his teens stood in the distance and applauded together.

Then the crew officially started work.

Although Zhang Nan is the first time to be a director, he has little experience.

But Zhang Nan didn't appear to be in a hurry.

Because he has watched the movie from beginning to end, and has a general memory of various sub-shots.

Coupled with the behind-the-scenes staff of the Beijing Studio, the level is really unbelievable.

When Zhang Nan is shooting a shot, he often only needs to say what kind of effect he needs, and people can express it perfectly. There is no need for Zhang Nan to think and try and make mistakes by himself. He only needs to give orders, and the whole process is a fool. Just operate it.

However, it was not all smooth sailing. During the filming of the fighting scenes, many problems occurred.

"No, no, this is definitely not possible."

Just after filming a fighting scene, Zhang Nan went back to the monitor, which showed the action scene at the beginning of the movie, where he played Master Zhang and another martial arts master played by Zhao Benshan, and there was a sense of humor in the fight .

But after the filming, Zhang Nan was very dissatisfied that the fight between the two sides was not beautiful, and there was a feeling of procrastination and stiffness.

Zhao Benshan, who had just rested on the side, heard Zhang Nan's dissatisfied voice, thought he was dissatisfied with him, and immediately got up and walked to Zhang Nan's side without taking a rest.

"Director?" Zhao Benshan looked at Zhang Nan nervously.

Although Zhao Benshan was already a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala at this time and had a certain reputation, he had not yet reached the level of national fame in later generations.

Because the current Spring Festival Gala language programs are too much, the starlight is not enough to explain: Feng Gongniuqun group, Aunt Zhao Gong Hanlin partner, Cai Ming Guo Da, and even Jiang Kun's cross talk at this time has not yet pulled his hips.

Although Zhao Benshan's strength is not bad, but among this group of people, he really can't be said to be outstanding, but can only be regarded as an 'ordinary' level.

He has to wait until these people are getting old one after another, and he himself has reached the peak again, and after releasing the "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Trilogy" and "Selling Abductees Trilogy", Zhao Benshan will really rise in the comedy world and become the solitary star of the bright moon. hanging point.

At this time, after Zhao Benshan heard the news about the Beijing studio, he only submitted a resume out of the mood of trying his luck.

After all, from Zhao Benshan's point of view, the film with an investment of more than 4000 million yuan probably doesn't like him very much, but he feels that he is at a loss if he doesn't vote.

However, after Zhang Nan saw the resume submitted by Zhao Benshan, he accepted it directly.

After all, we have established a good relationship with this person now, and in the future, let alone walking sideways outside Shanhaiguan in the inland, at least we can get along.

At this time, after Zhao Benshan learned that he was selected by the director and starring Zhang Nan, although he only played a supporting role, Zhao Benshan, who is in his forties, was really excited for a while.

After coming to the crew, he was even more enthusiastic about Zhang Nan.

"Zhao Benshan, I'm not talking about you, you performed very well, I'm talking about the action design."

Looking at Zhao Benshan's uneasy look, Zhang Nan knew what he had just said had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained.

In the entire mainland film and television industry, Zhang Nan does not recognize many people, and Zhao Benshan is one of the few people he admires.

It's not that Zhao Benshan is so noble in moral character and successful in his career.

To be honest, Zhao Benshan doesn't have much stain on his moral character, but he can't be called a saint either. He is great in his career, but in the next 20 years of Huaguo, there will be more people who are great in his career. Two horses and one Liu, which one is not powerful?
What Zhang Nan admires is that Zhao Benshan started from an orphan, followed his blind second uncle, and finally went all the way to one of the few giants in the mainland film and television industry.

It can be said that it started with a bad hand, but ended up with four second belts and double kings.

Hearing Zhang Nan's explanation that it was not him, Zhao Benshan was relieved a lot, but he left without seeing this, but continued to stay here.

"Call all the martial arts instructors and have a meeting." Zhang Nan and the assistant director beside him ordered.
