Actor: My Entertainment Era

Zhang Yuanjun can feel that Jing Tian's liking for him is the fan's pursuit of idols, not the love between men and women.

Some people think that Jing Tian can be taken advantage of as a door-to-door gift.

Actually it is not necessary.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't know who was behind this girl, but he also knew that she had a lot of background, and it was enough to maintain a friendly relationship with this kind of person, why bother to cause trouble.

There was nothing wrong with the actors in the exchange activities with Sanqin, and the cast team returned to Beijing ahead of schedule.

The second night after Zhang Yuanjun returned to Beijing, Liu Yifei also returned to the capital after her performance, but Liu Yifei was a little tired and the two did not meet.

Zhang Yuanjun has other things to do these days, and the script of "Detachment" has been released.

The three of them were very satisfied and decided to use this draft to code the actors first.

"Transcendence" will be made into a co-production, and Hong Kong actors will inevitably be used. The male lead has already been confirmed, and Shu Chang has already rejected the female lead Shan Shan. She still cares about her image and is unwilling to make sacrifices.

Luo Qirui stretched out his hand, he wanted to recommend actresses from Hong Kong Island to play with Zhang Yuanjun.

Mainland actresses are not willing to take off, but Hong Kong Island has plenty of actors who are willing, and Hong Kong Island has no shortage of young actors who come out at the age of [-] or [-].

Luo Qirui found the information of more than 50 young girls in their 20s and sent it to Li Yang and Zhang Yuanjun to read, and said: "Call whoever you like to come over for an audition. They all want to appear on the screen."

But in fact, both Zhang Yuanjun and Li Yang did not want to use Hong Kong island actresses to play Shanshan. The two prefer to bring people directly from the capital to Hong Kong Island. It is best to use familiar actors, so that the filming will be smoother and smoother.

But for other roles, Zhang Yuanjun doesn't mind leaving them to Hong Kong Island.

By the end of January, the three of them almost had potential candidates for each role in the film, and the rest was to discuss one by one.

Li Yang sent his assistant back to the capital to assist Zhang Yuanjun's studio in casting, and he himself was still preparing for the filming work with the Yindu agency on Hong Kong Island.

Once a movie starts casting, it cannot be hidden from the industry.

"Zhang Yuanjun is making an art film again, and the new film will join hands with Li Yang to focus on youth education!"

"Preparations for Li Yang's new film have begun, and the leading actor has been confirmed as Zhang Yuanjun!"

Zhang Yuanjun's path is really beyond everyone's expectations, he is different from other actors.

If it makes sense to say that "Love Has an Afterlife" was to repay Feihong's favor and had to accept it, then why did you take the initiative to shoot "Detachment"?
Zhang Yuanjun definitely knows how high his commercial value is, but he seems to have been possessed in the past two years. He is acting in dramas and making literary films, and he doesn't know how to strike while the iron is hot.

Look at Huang Xiaoming, how could he think about making any literary films, and hurry up to get his face in the blockbuster films of major directors.

Xu Wenqiang from "New Shanghai Beach" was eaten by him.

"The Deer and Ding Tale" will also be broadcast this year.

These are very high-profile roles.

The studio staff didn't persuade him, but Zhang Yuanjun didn't listen, he said he knew what he was doing.

Zhang Yuanjun's name is quite useful when attracting investment.

After all, No. [-] Xiaosheng still has a lot of international fame, and many film companies are willing to vote for him.

But the cost of "Transcendence" is not big after all, only 500 million, so the investment was settled quickly.

In fact, the 500 million yuan can be covered by Zhang Yuanjun's studio, Yindu organization and Li Yang's Kunpeng Nebula.

But as a producer, everyone wants to bring in a few more people to share the risk.

So Zhang Yuanjun still accepted the funds from China Film and European MK2 Cinemas, the latter is the relationship Zhang Yuanjun met in Cannes.

After the other party learned that the original idea of ​​"Buried Alive" came from Zhang Yuanjun, they expressed their appreciation for him and hoped to cooperate.

Not to mention that Zhang Yuanjun’s studio also invests and produces films, which makes MK2 look at this young man from the East with admiration. After learning that he is going to make a literary film that reflects the education of young people, MK2 quickly throws an olive branch .

An important reason for choosing MK2 is that Zhang Yuanjun expects MK2 to sell films for him.

MK2 can be said to be the most prestigious art theater chain in the world. It has established complete global distribution channels and has deep relationships with the three major European cinemas. Whether it is distribution or public relations, MK2 is a good partner for art films.

"Animal World" made a lot of money for Shanghai Film. Ren Zhonglun wanted to vote for "Transcendence", but Zhang Yuanjun chose China Film.

No way, it was said.

Zhang Yuanjun lived in the capital, but both "Fame and Li Wan" and "Animal World" were filmed in Shanghai, although the investment of the former came from China Film Group.

It's all about people's ways of the world, why, there are so many film companies in the capital, you can't find money, so you have to go to Shanghai?

Do you not take big brother China Film Group seriously?
When Director Han talked to himself, Zhang Yuanjun complained in his heart: "The matter of millions is so big that it overwhelms everyone."

The studio still approached Huayi, Zhang Yuanjun's project could be handed over directly to Wang Zhonglei, but Huayi gave up "Transcendence", they are not in the mood to make literary films now, and they are unwilling to pay 200 million yuan to Zhang Yuanjun.

On the 17th, Zhang Yuanjun attended the premiere of "Buried Alive" in Beijing alone, interacting with fans and audience in a theater.

The scale is not large, after all, it is just a batch of films.

But the name of International Zhang is useful, and several celebrity friends also came to help out.

""Buried Alive" is the first foreign-language film I starred in, please share your views." After watching the film, the atmosphere at the scene was not very enthusiastic, and Zhang Yuanjun asked the audience to speak.

In fact, he has no idea about the domestic box office of "Buried Alive". Although it is an approved film, it doesn't matter to him whether it sells more or less, but after all, he spent time and energy to make it with great difficulty. Now he has to face domestic audiences, so he doesn't care. impossible.

Some viewers raised their hands and spoke: "I am a reporter from Penguin. When I watched the foreign media report on this film, they said that you specifically asked the director to lock you up in order to find the feeling of being locked up. Can you tell us about this part? Story?"

Zhang Yuanjun swears that this is definitely not a babysitter hired by himself.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I asked our director to lock me in a small house to experience life. Because don't look at the movie where I was sealed in a coffin, but the coffin on our shooting scene was specially made. The machine was only closed on three sides and was semi-open. Before the filming started, I was worried that such an environment would prevent me from entering the state, so I asked the director to find a small airtight room for me to lock me in. I was locked up for a week or a day. I’m only given one meal, but I’m still not full. Because I’m looking for that closed state, not just psychologically, but also physiologically. The true physical reaction is the most shocking.”

"Then will you go to Hollywood to develop in the future?"

"It depends on fate. I am definitely still in China. If I have a good book, I can shoot it anywhere." Zhang Yuanjun said.

""Buried Alive" now has a global box office of more than 7000 million U.S. dollars. Do you have any expectations for the domestic box office?"

"I don't dare to say I'm looking forward to it, just don't let China Film lose money, otherwise I won't be able to see Director Han in the future."

Zhang Yuanjun's joke aroused laughter from the audience. (end of this chapter)
