Actor: My Entertainment Era
Chapter 608 Casting
Although he was very busy, Zhang Yuanjun still found time to attend the "Wolf Warriors" premiere conference.
The premiere was not very lively and there were very few guests.
Not even the main creators arrived, not even Yu Nan or Ni Dahong.
There was no other way. In order to support the show, Zhang Yuanjun was invited to the stage as a friend.
However, Zhang Yuanjun did not overwhelm the guests. He acted as a qualified listener and witness throughout the event, occasionally interjecting a few words, and leaving the main narration and sharing to Wu Jing.
At the press conference, Wu Jing, as director and starring actor, expressed his original intention: "I hope to create a new genre in Chinese movies that can arouse more young people and all people with patriotism. resonance."
He also revealed that it was very difficult to prepare the film, which not only took seven years, but also received "cold water" from many people, who persuaded him not to film military themes because "the market doesn't recognize it" and "girls don't like to watch such movies." "There are warm men and young meat everywhere."
"But I still want to make it, because this is my dream. China lacks movies in which men reach the extreme." Wu Jing had already shown his dissatisfaction with the trend of fresh meat at this time.
Speaking of this, Wu Jing mentioned Zhang Yuanjun: "In this regard, I am particularly grateful to my good brother Zhang Yuanjun."
Zhang Yuanjun didn't know this process in advance.
"When I was preparing this movie," Wu Jing continued, "almost everyone opposed it and told me not to make it. Only Yuanjun supported me, saying that it had been a long time since I'd seen a domestic military action movie on the big screen. I I thought at that time, even if only one person could see it, I would still shoot it." Wu Jing was quite emotional when talking about this experience.
Zhang Yuanjun took over: "I really don't say this out of comfort or encouragement. I really want to see our domestic military action movies. My own abilities are limited and I am not a professional action actor. At that time, I heard Brother Jing said that he wanted to do , I support him very much. Among domestic action actors, it seems that only Brother Jing can make a breakthrough in this area."
As for the premiere platform, you need to brag a little more appropriately.
Zhang Yuanjun even thought of the title of the press release for Wu Jing: "Wolf Warrior Premiere!" Zhang Yuanjun: Only Wu Jing can make military action movies in China."
At the press conference, Wu Jing even washed her hands in a "golden basin" and washed her hands in a basin with the label "Kung Fu Boy" on it, expressing that she wanted to tear off the label of "Kung Fu Boy".
Zhang Yuanjun did not watch the movie at the scene, nor did he participate in the post-screening exchanges. Within a few minutes of the screening, he hunched over and left backstage.
At today's premiere, the crew of "Wolf Warrior" announced that the film will be released on March 3.
It seems that the distribution company still wants to play it safe, but it should be like this. Wu Jing is a new director, and he is not very popular as an actor before. "Wolf Warrior" is still an unpopular military action movie, and there are no big-name actors to support it. I really don’t have enough confidence to enter the popular period.
Although Gong Li only signed a contract of intent, the crew of "The Invisible Guest" can still use Gong Li's name to attract investment for the film.
And no one in the industry thinks that Gong Li will not sign the contract in the end.
Zhang Yuanjun personally took action and signed the agreement of intent. The official contract will only be two months away.
So many companies are willing to pay for "The Invisible Guest".
Wanda's claim of covering the cost of 1 million yuan is certainly bragging. Zhang Yuanjun is partnered with Gong Li. If Wanda and his family eat up such a golden project, it is tantamount to offending the entire industry.
But Wanda still asked to participate in the movie as one of the main production companies, and was very willing to spend money.
The production team's preliminary budget for the film is 5000 million yuan, of which 5000 million is the production cost and million the publicity cost!
It's so arrogant.
The two leading actors Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li each earned 1000 million.
In terms of investment, Zhang Yuanjun Studio first took 34.57% and was responsible for the filming of the film - the script was written by Zhang Yuanjun, director Xin Yukun was on Zhang Yuanjun's side, and producer Cao Baoping was also invited by Zhang Yuanjun. The studio has also been responsible for the early preparations of the film. In charge.
The first investor Zhang Yuanjun introduced was China Film, which assumed 13.44% of the film's funding and was responsible for the film's post-production and distribution - when making a movie, it is always better to have China Film there.
Wanda agreed to Zhang Yuanjun's additional conditions for the release of "The Funeral Coffin" and became the film's third major investor.
Xin Yukun, who was still visiting other places, almost cried on the phone when he heard that his "Funeral Coffin" had finally found a distributor, and that it was distributed by a big company like Wanda. The money matter is almost settled, and then we should talk about the actors.
In order to avoid accidents in Long Night Dream, China Film Group actively urged Gong Li to sign a formal actor contract after joining the film.
On the other hand, the casting team led by Cao Baoping has also officially begun casting for the film, striving to complete the selection before the year. No one wants to spend the New Year with unfinished work.
There are only a few roles to choose from in total, and there are already candidates to be invited. All you have to do is call them one by one to invite auditions and ask about the schedule.
After Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei finished the first rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, they got the actors selected by Cao Baoping that night.
There are only two main actors. One is the father of the deceased, the husband of the old lady, who has a small role, and Li Jianyi is invited to play; the second female lead, the lover of the male protagonist, Cao Baoping calls Ni Ni and talks to her. I agreed without even negotiating a salary.
As for the unlucky son, this role is not that important. Cao Baoping planned to pull a random one from the school, but he would be killed anyway.
Zhang Yuanjun is very satisfied with this casting list.
The casting team must have considered publicity when choosing the second female lead. Otherwise, if others didn't want it, they would choose Ni Ni, who is also a female lead?
When the time comes for two generations of girls to be in the same frame, the slogans will be ready-made.
"I don't have any problems here." Zhang Yuanjun had no objections to the casting, "How is Xin Yukun doing with the scene? There has been no news for more than ten days. Should the start-up time be decided quickly so that we can adjust the schedule with the actors? "
"Xin Yukun is still in the Magic City now and will be back in a few days. When the start time comes, we will make a total calculation based on his appearance."
"That's okay." Zhang Yuanjun's most important job now is the Spring Festival Gala. Even if he cared about the crew's preparations, he wouldn't have the extra energy to interfere. He was happy to let others do the work. "I'm so busy with the Spring Festival Gala that I'm confused now." of."
The staff advised him: "Go back and rest. There is nothing particularly important here on the set."
Zhang Yuanjun stood up and said, "That's fine. If you need anything, call me anytime."
When he got home, he saw Liu Yifei sitting cross-legged in the living room, meditating and practicing yoga.
"You are quite free." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"The more intense your work becomes, the more you need to find time to relax." Liu Yifei closed her eyes and breathed slowly, "Come on, sit down too."
"I won't."
"I'll teach you." Coach Liu came online.
Zhang Yuanjun sat opposite Liu Yifei. She said, "Do what I do and relax your breathing."
"You look really good in yoga clothes."
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Liu Yifei said calmly.
"My legs are just a little thick."
"Hmph." Liu Yifei squeezed out a sound from her nose, "Whatever you say."
"Let me ask you, will it stretch your crotch if you women wear tight clothing like this?"
"Huh." Liu Yifei finally understood that he didn't want to learn yoga from him at all. (End of chapter)
