China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 215 Space Wolf joins
2 month 4 number.

Before Lu Yuan set off, he still went back to Yanjing because he had to meet someone.

Years ago, Star Media sent Wu Jing two scripts, one was the anti-war drama "Snow Leopard" and the other was "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".

They are all male leads.

Although Wu Jing is not doing well in the Hong Kong industry and cannot get leading roles, it does not mean that Wu Jing has no movies to make.

Just because he can fight, there will be no shortage of drama appointments.

At the end of last year, filming began on the sci-fi romantic comedy "Robot" invested by LeTV and directed by the well-known director Liu Zhenwei.

Starring Hu Jun, Sun Li, Zheng Zhongji, Gan Weiwei, Wu Jing and others.

At this time, Boss Jia has not returned to China next week and everyone is shouting for a beating. Now LeTV is extremely prosperous and has just completed a round of financing. Boss Jia has plenty of ammunition.

Not only to enter the video field, but also to cross-border film and television investment.

The online copyrights of TV series are rising, and Boss Jia’s contribution is indispensable, and "Roboman" is the first movie invested by LeTV.

In addition to Robot Man, Wu Jing also received an invitation to film "City Alert".

The combination of Chen Musheng + Aaron Kwok + Shu Qi, just looking at the cast, is a blockbuster movie booking.

This movie is expected to start shooting in the middle of the year. If you include "Robot", Wu Jing's schedule this year is very full.

Therefore, Lu Yuan sent out an audition invitation just to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jing took over the script of "I am a Special Forces Soldier".

Although Liu Meng, the director of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" is a new director, his requirements are not low. If Wu Jing takes over this script, it means that he will have to spend the second half of the year on this TV series.

Before the official filming begins, all actors must enter the military camp for training to determine when they are qualified.

When will the filming start?

In fact, director Liu Meng was also surprised.

Doesn’t he want to find big-name actors to film?
How can it be!

But famous actors are not used to his bad rules. For a TV series, they need to train for several months, and then the director must be satisfied before filming can begin?
What a joke.

Xingchen Media is not that big-faced either.

If it were a big-budget movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, I would consider it.

Star Media.

meeting room.

"Director Liu."

"Brother Jing."

Lu Yuan apologized: "Sorry, the flight was delayed, I was late."

The three of them exchanged greetings and sat down again.

"Brother Jing, thank you for joining."

After sitting down, Lu Yuan expressed his gratitude to Wu Jing again.

After all, giving up acting in movies and switching to TV series is not a choice that ordinary people can make.

"Boss Lu, you're welcome."

Wu Jing said with a smile: "Actually, I have had a military dream since I was a child. I never had the opportunity before. This time I have the opportunity to enter the military camp, which can be regarded as a dream come true."

"In addition, Director Liu's script is very well written, and the military sentiment is particularly touching."

Although his words were suspected of being flattering, they were not entirely bragging.

Military dreams are real.

Training with the army for several months may seem like a waste of time to others, but to Wu Jing, it is indeed the way to realize his dream.

Special forces!

If you miss this opportunity, I don’t know when I want to realize my dream next time.

That's why Wu Jing turned down the contract for "City Alert".

In fact, Wu Jing was not particularly reluctant to turn down this drama. Although "City Alert" is a co-production jointly invested by Universal Entertainment, Jin Province, Pengcheng Studios, and Enlight.But the starring cast, director, and production team are all from Hong Kong.

His own role in the movie is not too important, just a supporting role.

On the one hand, he was a supporting role in the movie, and on the other hand, he was given the opportunity to realize his dream. Of course, Wu Jing voted with his feet.

Next, chatting, signing, everything went smoothly.

Except for the actor Wu Jing and the actress Tan Songyun (Xiaoying), the starring cast of the drama "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" has basically not changed much. They are still actors from the Jinling Military Region Art Troupe.

As for why Jinling?

The reason is simple. Liu Meng is the director of the TV Department of the Jinling Military Region’s Frontline Art Troupe.

He doesn't use people from the art troupe?

Whose people to use?

This drama is also jointly produced by Star Media and Frontline Art Troupe, and Star Media is responsible for all the funding.

The total investment is 1200 million.

Other resources are handled by the frontline art troupe of the Jinling Military Region, such as venues, training, weapons, technical guidance, etc.

The shooting location was also in Jinling.

Star Media accounts for [-]% of the investment, and [-]% belongs to the Frontline Art Troupe.

This ratio may seem like Star Media is suffering a loss, but the calculation is not that way. Many of the resources provided by the art troupe cannot be bought with money.

To give a very simple example, Star Media would not be able to actually film the military region exercise without the help of the art troupe.

In addition, the same is true for a lot of equipment.

In the end, the 1000 and [-] million, except for Wu Jing's slightly higher salary, were all spent on filming.

The remaining actors' salary plus one yuan is less than 100 million.

After confirming the starring role of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", the starring role of "Snow Leopard" was also finalized.

In the original version of "Snow Leopard", the role of Zhou Weiguo was played by Wen Zhang. His acting skills are indeed good, but his personal character will not be mentioned.

Therefore, Boss Lu excluded him first.

According to the previous plan, the starring roles of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" and "Snow Leopard" were selected from Gu Zhixin and Wu Jing.

Now, Space Wolf plays "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".

The role of Zhou Weiguo is naturally played by Gu Zhixin.

In terms of acting skills, Gu Zhixin is no worse than Wen Zhang. Gu Zhixin first passed the film and television production specialist class of Beijing Normal University in 96, and starred in "Camel Xiangzi" in 98.

Later, he was admitted to the Chinese Opera Performance Class.

As soon as I graduated in 04, I was admitted to the People's Art School.

As we all know, Renyi's recruitment standards are notoriously high. He can stand out among the graduates from China Opera, Nortel and Shanghai Opera. Gu Zhixin's acting skills are enough to play the role of Zhou Weiguo.

As for the image problem, it's not a big problem.

Gu Zhixin played the role of a young great man in "Cha classmate Zhengmao". In this drama, his image is completely different from that of Tang Guoqiang, Gu Yue and others.

But the results presented have been recognized by the public.

He also received a Feitian Award nomination for Outstanding Actor for this drama.

In fact, compared to whether Gu Zhixin could play Zhou Weiguo well, Lu Yuan was more worried about whether Wu Jing could play [Xiao Zhuang] well.

As an action actor, Wu Jing is undoubtedly the best, but he also has a common problem among action actors, and his writing and acting are not delicate enough.

Wu Jing at this time is not at the same level as the literary dramas from the "Wandering Earth" period.

However, Lu Yuan just thought about it for a moment and put the matter behind him. Liu Meng was in charge of it anyway. If one shot is not good, two shots will be taken.

Photograph until satisfied.

Star Media is not short of money.

Moreover, the equipment used for shooting "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" is not film, so you don't have to worry about the cost of equipment if you shoot repeatedly.
