Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 297 Changing Angles
"Inception" will be filmed in the United States for about a month, with most scenes in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

After truly experiencing pure Hollywood film shooting, Zhang Yuanjun realized how many domestic film crews there are and how long there is still a long way to go for industrialized domestic film production.

I really don’t mean to belittle the domestic crew.

The crew of "Inception" has a very detailed division of labor, and each job type is only responsible for its own thing.

The performance and professional attitude of actors are actually the same between China and foreign countries. Everyone is willing to endure hardships and hardships in order to make a good show.

But the difference between the production team and the crew is huge.

Zhang Yuanjun even felt for a moment that the domestic crew was still the configuration of an old theater troupe.

Both China and the United States are in the summer season. I didn't expect how much money "Transcendence" could make at the box office, but the audience still pushed the box office to 1407 million within two weeks. The filming cost of a film was just over 400 million, and the publicity and distribution costs were For a 100 million literary film, this is already a good result.

"Transcendence" has run out of steam, so China Film has removed it from theaters to make room for summer blockbusters.

Over at Mango Channel, after the investment in "Snow Leopard" raised its level, the production team changed the heroine.

The popular "Sword and Sword 3" has entered their field of vision.

"Sword and Sword 3" is still popular, and the leading actors are becoming famous one by one, but Hu Ge and Liu Shishi have become extremely low-key.

In the past two months, they have been severely criticized for Tang Ren's affair with Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei.

Mango Channel invited Yang Mi and Tang Yan to audition Chen Yi, the heroine of "Snow Leopard". They heard that the male lead was Zhang Yuanjun, and they were determined to audition.

But both of them face the same development dilemma - Hong Kong.

The contract between Yang Mi and Rong Xinda is about to expire and will not be renewed. Agent Zeng Jia went south to sign with Hong Kong Island Meiya Entertainment to become the director of the company. Zeng Jia has agreed to take her south and has promised to negotiate a Hong Kong blockbuster for her.

Yang Mi was very excited and had already made up her mind to go south with her to make a movie.

Although Tang Yan's situation is also related to the Hong Kong circle, the situation is opposite to Yang Mi.

Tang Yan is the victim of the infighting between Wang Jinghua and Cheng Tian.

Tang Yan is signed under the banner of Chengtian Shiba and is an artist of Wang Jinghua.

However, in order to prevent the Huayi farce from happening again, Chengtian established another agency, Chengtian Shijiu, to compete with Wang Jinghua's Chengtian Shiba.

Tang Yan's management contract was transferred to Chengtian Shijiu.

The CEO of Chengtian Shijiu is named Xu Li, and she is good friends with Wang Jing, so Tang Yan received a lot of resources from Hong Kong when he first signed with Chengtian.

However, since this year, Chengtian has undergone tremendous internal changes. Wang Jinghua once again terminated her contract with Chengtian, and Xu Li also resigned from Chengtian.

Tang Yan became an abandoned son that his grandma didn't care about and his uncle didn't love him.

Chengtian has no resources to give her, and the Hong Kong circle has abandoned her.

Fortunately, there is "Sword and Sword 3" hanging around.

She hasn't found a new backer in Chengtian for the time being. Although she became famous because of Zixuan, she doesn't have a strong agent to check and run for her. It's very difficult for her to develop now.

Therefore, she and Yang Mi have different mentality. Yang Mi wants to go south to make a movie, but she can no longer go south, so she is more active than Yang Mi in "Snow Leopard".

Anti-Japanese War dramas are anti-Japanese war dramas, and it's hard to say whether Mango Channel will trust it or not, but she bets that Zhang Yuanjun's vision will be right, and she plays his heroine. She bets that this drama will be good.

Playing the heroine in an anti-war drama, although it's a sideshow, is still better than having no role at all.

She has her own plan. She hopes to build a good relationship with Zhang Yuanjun or Mango TV through this drama, and it is best to get on the boat of one of them.

One is the No. [-] domestic TV station, and the other is the No. [-] youngster who has recently become the best actor in Cannes. Both parties have a lot of resources. As long as they can enter one camp, it is better than staying in Chengtian and wasting their time.

And she also knew that the heroine of "Source Code" actually met the requirements for her image. It was just that her audition performance was too bad, so Zhang Yuanjun rejected her.

This means that Zhang Yuanjun should have a pretty good impression of himself.

Therefore, after Yang Mi had clearly withdrawn from the audition in the second round of the Mango Channel audition, Cheng Tian saw that Tang Yan was so interested in this drama, so he gave it a little push.After all, she is an artist under the banner, so although she doesn't care much about it, since she takes the initiative to find shows on her own, it is reasonable to give her a little push.

Although Chengtian didn't understand why a celebrity like Zhang Yuanjun wanted to take on an anti-war film, it wasn't a big deal to let his own artist partner with him.

So Ji Rujing, a singer's new manager who had been behind the scenes for three years, was sent to guide her.

At the end of July, Tang Yan officially signed a contract with the crew of "Snow Leopard" and confirmed to play the lead actress Chen Yi.

Tang Yan and Ji Rujing walked out of the crew's temporary office in Beijing. Tang Yan tentatively said, "Should we go to the United States to see Zhang Yuanjun?"

Ji Rujing thought about it and felt that it was necessary to pay a visit: "Okay, you pack up. We will leave in a few days. I will contact the United States to make arrangements first."

But the next day, Ji Rujing told Tang Yan that there was no need to go to the United States.

"He will return to China in two days to attend the premiere of "Source Code", and we made an appointment with him."

Zhang Yuanjun, who was filming in San Francisco, was also surprised when he found out that Tang Yan was going to play Chen Yi.

In my impression, this girl has never played a main theme before.

Why did Mango TV choose her?

Moreover, Zhang Yuanjun was a little scared. He knew that Tang Yan was nicknamed "The Shame of Chinese Opera", and during the "Source Code" audition, she did not give him a good impression. She frequently laughed and forgot her words.

He doesn't have the time to deal with a rival actor whose basic skills are not solid.

Liu Yifei also saw the cast list sent by Mango Channel and said: "This girl looks so familiar."

"Tang Yan, "Source Code" came here and was brushed by me." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Oh yes, are you sure that I will play "Snow Leopard" with you now?"

"Ah."

"Didn't you say that her acting skills are not good? She laughs hard and forgets her words."

"It was like this at the time, but I don't know if it has improved over the past year or so. After all, I came out of the Chinese drama." Zhang Yuanjun is still worried.

In fact, Zhang Yuanjun's worries are somewhat stereotyped.

Tang Yan's nickname of "The Shame of Chinese Drama" comes from the fact that she played too many homogeneous silly roles that did not require acting skills, which put her in a comfort zone.

Tang Yan has not yet started her silly and sweet career. Although she loves to laugh and forgets her lyrics easily, her acting skills - can you say that Zixuan's acting is bad?

Therefore, it’s hard to say what Tang Yan’s acting skills are now. Moreover, the role of Chen Yi is a bit of a virgin and a bit idealistic. It doesn’t require very good acting skills, Tang Yan should be able to perform it.

Mango Channel probably chose her not just because of her acting skills. "Sword and Sword 3" is so popular now, so she probably wanted to gain popularity as an actress.

Also, Luo Jin plays Liu Yuan, and Tang Yan joins in now...

Zhang Yuanjun's bad taste broke out.

"You smile so cheaply." Liu Yifei commented.

"You don't understand, I'm planning something big."

"What's the big deal?" Liu Yifei was very gossipy.

"I won't tell you yet." Zhang Yuanjun said nothing, "If this thing is going to happen, Luo Jin won't give me two bottles of wine to thank me."

On the 30th, Zhang Yuanjun took leave from the crew to return to China to attend the premiere of "Source Code".

　I plan to help Tang later.
