Actor: My Entertainment Era

Wu Jing thought that since the first part of "Wolf Warrior" was a hit, the market would take him seriously, and it would be easier to invest in the second part.

But reality gave him another blow. The script of "Wolf Warrior 2" was already available. Although it has not been officially finalized, it is basically almost there.

Wu Jing visited the bosses of various film and television companies with the script of "Wolf Warrior 2", but still was not welcomed.

Still no one wanted to vote for him.

The first one sold 5 million! Don’t you want to follow the second part?
However, Wu Jing is not in a hurry. The second part has not been launched so soon, so the investment can be discussed slowly.

Wu Jing's main focus now is to train in the army.

Yes, for the filming of the second part, he has to join the army again for training.

While arranging his own training, he also told Zhang Yuanjun that there was a role for a young rich second generation in the second film, and he also wanted to follow the market trend and hire a popular young actor to play the role.

It’s not that Wu Jing looked down on Xiaoxianrou from the beginning. He also knew that the audience now eats Xiaoxianrou, and he wanted to ride on this trend to increase exposure and traffic for his movies.

Hiring a popular young star to perform can at least save a lot of publicity costs. Who would refuse such a good thing?

"You have many options, help me find them." Wu Jing entrusted this matter to Zhang Yuanjun, who is a high-ranking figure in the circle and can speak better than him.

Of course, his producer and coordinator will also contact Xiao Xianrou.

Zhang Yuanjun understood Wu Jing's thoughts very well, and he was right. If he could really hire someone with a lot of traffic, why not do it.

But Zhang Yuanjun still had to ask clearly: "What are your requirements for this actor?"

"There are no requirements for acting skills, as long as you don't have to appear in a movie." Wu Jing's requirements for this role are really not high. "There are only two points. I need to train for half a year before starting the filming, and I have to go to Africa with me to film."

When Zhang Yuanjun heard Wu Jing's two requests, he thought it was normal. He was filming an action scene. How could he do it without training? But he didn't have confidence in this group of young freshmen, but he still said: "I'll help you find it. You How much can you get for the film? It’s not cheap.”

Wu Jing also knows that the salary for Xiaoxianrou is now high. Since he wants to hire him, he is ready to pay: "The funds are not yet in place and the budget has not been made. I estimate that five to six million should be enough."

This price is already higher than Wu Jing's own actor's salary.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "Nowadays, a popular young actor earns tens of millions to film a movie. You can add more."

"Then eight million?" Wu Jing was still reluctant to give too much and wanted to save some money for filming, "Ten million. Just ten million!"

"Ten million is okay." Ten million is already a high salary for a movie. "I'll ask you who is interested."

In fact, Zhang Yuanjun was not sure which young meat would agree to this price and request.

"When will you join the army for training?"

"I will join the army for training after I finish filming the two films I have in hand." Wu Jing still has two films in the Hong Kong industry that have not been filmed, so it is just a favor.

One is "Westward Journey 3" and the other is "Dangerous City".

"Wolf Warrior 2" is still in the preliminary stage, and there are not many things going on. The two of them discussed the matter of inviting Xiaoxianrou and broke up.

Zhang Yuanjun took action quickly after receiving the task.

He knew that the schedule for young fresh meat was very tight, and if he didn't make an appointment one or two years in advance, he wouldn't agree to it.

Zhang Yuanjun left the matter to the studio: "Let's find out what's going on." If Zhang Yuanjun's studio invites people, it should be a lot easier to negotiate.

The studio does not feel that the boss is giving people help randomly. The first part of "Wolf Warrior" sold 5 million yuan, bringing a profit of over 7000 million yuan to the studio.

The staff is very willing to do something for "Wolf Warrior 2".

If we want to say who is the most popular youngster now, it must be the four returned sons plus Li Yifeng.

These five people are extremely popular, and the most popular among them are Wu Shan and Lu Han.

These were the five people the studio contacted immediately.

The other agent's agent was very happy when he heard that Zhang Yuanjun's studio had arranged for the film to be played. However, he lost interest when he heard that it was not Zhang Yuanjun's film but Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2".

Within 10 days, the studio contacted the managers of the most popular Wu Sian and Lu Han, and the final answer was rejection.

Wu Xuan's agent's salary was only 1 million: "This is our price."

Lu Han's agent heard that the film was going to be a shootout action movie, and he would have to go to the army for training and go to Africa for filming. He felt that this kind of role was not in line with Lu Han's development path and the filming environment was too difficult, so he didn't agree.

"One hundred million! Why didn't he grab it!" The staff member cursed when he came back after talking to Wu's agent, "We don't even dare to quote such a high price for filming! I don't think any Silly Cup crew would spend 100 million to hire him!"

People who work behind the scenes generally don’t have a fan filter because they know too much about celebrities.

Fans praise them as treasures, but the staff behind the scenes do not.

"It's not as fast as him to steal money." Another person said angrily, "One hundred million, he can really scream."

"The devil knows how they took the money. They quoted 100 million. It would be good if he could get 20 million."

"Don't be angry, actors are all hardened. These people are very ambitious, so take your time."

The studio is still helping the boss talk about fresh meat. On the other side, Boss Zhang's "The Invisible Guest" is started!

On June 6, the crew of "The Invisible Guest" held a launch conference at the Wanda Vista Hotel in Beijing.

Director Xin Yukun, producer Cao Baoping, starring Zhang Yuanjun, Gong Li, Ni Ni, Li Jianyi, Ma Chun, China Film Chairman La Peikang, Wanda Film Director Ye Ning and others attended the press conference.

Director La gave a speech and praised the model of "The Invisible Guest": "I think this model of experienced producers and actors paired with new directors is worth promoting. New directors are aggressive and dare to think and act, but sometimes they need the support of their seniors. Escort, don’t act recklessly. The group is very much looking forward to the good results of the old and new model of "The Invisible Guest"."

New director Xin Yukun said frankly at the scene that the pressure was very high: "But I am very excited. Such a cast and behind-the-scenes lineup are the dream of any director. ... I will make every effort to do a good job. Please wait and see."

Ye Ning mainly talked about the creative concept for a few minutes: "The suspense film "The Hypnotist" produced by Wanda last year achieved very good results in the market, but our market still seems to be lacking in high-quality suspense films. We have always felt that There is a huge market for suspense films, so we decided to make another suspense film this year... At first we thought it would be difficult to recruit teacher Gong Li, but we didn't expect that as soon as the script was given to her, she invited us to meet and discuss it later. It went relatively smoothly, and the cooperation was finalized in about a week. I believe that "The Invisible Guest" will definitely surpass "The Master of Hypnotism", after all, Wanda is more experienced in suspense films."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Teacher Gong Li has always been my idol. When I was still in film school, I thought that one day I could collaborate with Teacher Gong Li in a movie. I didn't expect that it finally came true today."

Gong Li responded to Zhang Yuanjun: "I have always wanted to work with Yuanjun. The director gave me the script, and I saw that Zhang Yuanjun was my opposite actor, and the opposite role was also very good. ... This story is very tense, which is rare. A suspenseful story that will definitely not disappoint the audience.”

At the end of the launch conference, Ye Ning announced that the film will be scheduled for next summer: "It will be released on July 7 next year. We are confident that it will make a good start for the summer!"

If suspense films weren't suitable for the Lunar New Year movie, Zhang Yuanjun would have decided to schedule it for the end of this year!

"The Invisible Guest" ended the press conference with a round of applause and the sound of a shutter, and the filming officially began. (End of chapter)
