China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 513 Casting
5 month 1 number.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Mystery of the Dragon Ridge" was officially released, and "Iron Man 3" was released on the same day as "The Mystery of the Dragon Ridge".

Star Media VS Marvel ignited the May Day event.

The two movies jointly made a box office of 1.9 million. Taking into account other movies currently in theaters, the single-day box office output exceeded million.

This is the first time that the total box office in a single day has exceeded 200 million in the Chinese film market!

The next day, relevant media immediately issued an announcement to congratulate China on the growing prosperity of the movie box office market.

"Iron Man 3" had a box office of 1.2 million on its first day!
"The Mystery of Longling" grossed 7000 million at the box office on its first day!
Although "Iron Man 3" leads the box office by 5000 million, the investment costs of both parties are not at the same level.

The cost of "Iron Man 3" was US$2 million, while the cost of "Longling Caves" was only RMB 2 million, a difference of more than six times.

Star Media dared to schedule "The Caves of Longling" on May Day, and the hard-edged "Iron Man 3" was entirely because of the good reputation of the previous work.

"The Ancient City", released last year, had a box office of 4.8 million, ranking tenth at the box office of 2012 movies.

As the saying goes, three women perform a play. With so many women gathered together, waiting for the audition, it was very lively here.

Among the four, Shu Changhong was the earliest, but due to the blind direction of the management team, she was also the quickest to mess up. She had a good hand and was playing badly.

Arriving on the eighth floor, Fan Binbin saw many familiar people.

But, come to think of it, I can’t stand the fragrance of Star Media’s movies.

"Hello, Sister Binbin, please come with me."

Fan Binbin thought this way, and so were the others.

She had never experienced queuing like this in many years.

There is also Da Tiantian, who has a mysterious background. She is also queuing up and staying with several artists from Xingchen Media.

It's not that she's bragging, no matter where Si Dan Shuang Bing goes, not only will she audition for a role alone, not to mention she will be confirmed.

During this period, Fan Binbin was quite emotional.

When Fan Binbin rushed to Xingchen Media, she found that there seemed to be a lot of people today. She saw several very familiar cars.

The eighth floor is both a conference floor and an audition room for casting.

Star Media.

Li Lianhua, Zhou Xun, Ni Ni, and Tang Wei were all there, and even Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Shu Chang, members of Xingchen Media, were queuing up.

The intern from the external relations department of Xingchen Media came over with a smile, and then led Fan Binbin to the conference room on the eighth floor.

I didn’t expect that after so many years, I would still be queuing up to audition.

After Damimi, Zhao Liying, and Shu Chang, Star Media once again made an 85 star famous.

correct.

After the broadcast of "Celebrating More Than Years", Shu Chang successfully became famous.

……

Sharing one floor is mainly to save costs. When we move to the headquarters building next year, we won’t need to be so cramped.

With an investment of 1.5 million U.S. dollars, it is a super-A-level production in Hollywood, and there are only a few films a year.

What's more, isn't the first lady from Xingchen Media also waiting in line?

The other party is queuing up, which means that the female lead in this drama has not been confirmed.

Otherwise, why would Star Media conduct auditions with great fanfare?
In fact, Damimi is just a mascot.

No matter how good her performance is, she will not participate in "The Wandering Earth". She will be put in line outside just to overwhelm the four double skaters.

No matter how big a celebrity you are, you have to obey the rules when you get here.

"Sister Binbin, the director is calling you."

After Ni Ni walked out of the audition room, she called Fan Binbin.

"OK, thanks."

There was not much communication between the two. Fan Binbin took a deep breath and then opened the door to the room.

I saw a row of people sitting directly in front of me.

However, what surprised her was that Lu Yuan was not sitting in the middle?

Sitting in the middle is the new director Guo Fan.

Stars are eager for the role in "The Wandering Earth", and directors are even more eager for the director. An investment of one billion!
99% of directors will never be able to direct billion-level films in their lifetime.

Then, Fan Xiaopang greeted the examiners present one by one.

"Hello, Miss Fan Binbin, I am Guo Fan, the director of this film. There are three scenes in front of you. Please choose one at random first."

"Ok."

Fan Binbin looked down and saw that the three folders were all the same, with no difference visible on the covers.

Soon, she picked the middle one.

"Teachers, please wait a moment. I'll take a look first."

Looking at the script, the information above is very simple.

Location: Hospital.

Time: September 20, 9XX (Note: This day is my daughter’s birthday)
Scene: The daughter is receiving treatment in the hospital

Cause: A form of radiation sickness
The heroine's movements and expressions: You sit on a chair and look at your daughter lying on the hospital bed. You blame yourself and complain that you failed to protect your daughter. At the same time, you are worried about your astronaut husband who is far away on the space station.

……

After reading the general outline, Fan Binbin felt a thump in his heart.

This scene is very challenging.

It has no lines!
Not much body language either!

Sound, platform, shape, appearance, kill two of them directly.

The self-blame and worry are not to the point of crying.

After a moment, Fan Binbin raised his head and looked at the examiner: "Teachers, please give me some time. I need to gather my emotions."

"It's okay, we can wait, you have fifteen minutes."

"OK, thanks."

Immediately, Fan Binbin sat on the chair and slowly closed his eyes.

now.

There was silence in the audition room.

About ten minutes later, Fan Binbin started her performance.

I saw her sitting on a chair, first making a scene of tucking in a quilt, and then looking dreamily at the empty space in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, she made another sighing gesture, but halfway through, she withdrew her sighing sound.

Snapped!
Snapped!
At the end of the performance, there was a round of applause.

To be fair, Fan Binbin's performance was not bad. In this scene, he was no worse than Li Binbin.

But compared with Zhou Xun, it is still a level lower.

It lacks some spirit and seems a bit performance-like.

What makes her better than Zhou Xun is that she is younger, and she is internationally famous.

However, these two points are not critical factors in casting.

Female celebrities don't look too old, especially first-line actresses like Si Dan Shuang Bing, who spend astronomical amounts of money on maintenance every year.

Even Zhou Xun, who is about to turn 40, looks like he is in his thirties, or even a little younger.

As for international fame?

The box office success of "The Wandering Earth" is not the heroine, but the actors, as well as the subject matter itself, the romance of wandering around the earth!

Compared to actresses, actors are the real big names.

Needless to say, the male lead Lu Yuan.

The second male lead, Lu Yuan’s colleague on the space station, this role has been decided and will be played by Will Smith.

Another male lead is currently in a relationship with Tom Cruise.

In comparison, Tom Cruise has more roles. He is the captain of the ground joint special forces team.
