Chapter 180: The Concerns of Hong Kong Great Directors

"I think Yu Wenle is perfectly capable of playing the role of Fang Yiwei. His acting skills are not a problem. Although he is not very handsome, he is very masculine, which is quite in line with the portrayal and description of Fang Yiwei in the script!"

In the conference room of Hong Kong Universal Film Company, several main creative personnel are expressing their opinions. Sitting at the head is Lin Xiaoming, the boss of Universal Films. Next to him is the producer and director of the movie "The True Colors of Men" that Universal is planning to invest in this time——Chen Eye wins.

Speaking of Chen Musheng, he may not be as famous and well-known as Xu Ke, Du Qifeng, and Wang Jingren, but many people must know about other works, such as Fang Chenglong's "New Police Story" and "Baby Project". Directed by Chen Musheng.

And now, he has once again given a script that looks good and should have a good idea, and that is "The True Colors of a Man".

Today, the executives of Huanyu Films, one of the main investment companies of this film, decided to listen to his director's role arrangement, and at the same time, it can be regarded as filling in the gaps.

After all, the movie is really difficult to grasp, it is a work of art that cannot tolerate any flaws.

No matter how perfect your script is, no matter how good your director is, and no matter how good your production team is, if the actors are not suitable or the acting skills are not good, the excitement of the movie will definitely be greatly reduced.

In this way, in order to find the most suitable actors for the film, the three roles of investor, director and producer who are in charge of the lifeblood of the entire film must be cautious, because once the actors are selected, they generally will not be replaced unless A major accident occurred, such as an actor was injured, and the crew had to replace the actor before he could recover.

So how does the right actor explain it?

To put it simply, it is just one sentence: the salary is not expensive, the influence is not small, the acting skills are even better, the temper is not violent, and people know how to advance and retreat.

Four-word summary: high price-performance ratio!

That's right, I'm afraid no one would dislike such an actor. The asking price is not high, which can reduce the budget and reduce the investment risk. If he is influential, it means that he has box office appeal and can increase profits.

And good acting skills are of course the favorite of all directors. Playing a man is a man, and playing a woman is a woman. As long as the movie requires it, playing a ladyboy can also be a generation of enchanting. Which director does not love such an actor?

In the end, you have to have a good temper. Knowing the two things of advancing and retreating is for the overall harmony and combat effectiveness of the crew. A grumpy person will make the crew restless, and everyone will be affected. Let me ask, in this situation, who can be quiet? Are you ready to film?

If you don't know how to advance and retreat, you will almost offend the entire crew. Everyone is at odds with each other. Can you still make a good movie like this?It's better to just terminate the contract and drive people away.

Of course, although the opening conditions are easy, there are really not many in the entire entertainment circle who can fully meet these requirements, either they are those who demand a high price for both virtue and art, or they want to lower the price but have no acting skills and box office appeal Strength, those who can really meet these requirements, if you count them carefully, you may be able to count them with two hands.

Two hands, a total of ten people, this seems like a lot, doesn't it?

However, if we put aside acting skills and other external things, and talk about personal temperament and image, at least half of these 10 people will be removed.

For example, if you want to find a handsome actor to play the leading role, and you are given three candidates, Du Wenzhe, Wu Yanzu and Gu Tianle, how would you choose?

It is absolutely impossible for you to go to Du Wenzhe, right?His acting skills are good, his box office appeal is also good, he is not bad in life and work, and his asking price is not as high as the last two, but his image does not match at all!

Therefore, the director can only choose one of Gu Tianle or Wu Yanzu.

It can be seen from this that it is actually very difficult for the producers and directors to choose actors. They not only need to examine the actors' acting skills, but also comprehensively consider other aspects. For example, for the Japanese market, they may consider inviting Famous oriental actors joined.

Anyway, in a word, for the producer, if the casting is perfect, a movie is basically half the success.

And now, Yu Wenle is the manager of the production department of Huanyu Film Company and one of the most trusted right-hand men of the boss Lin Xiaoming, who is calling for Yu Wenle to play the main supporting role of Fang Yiwei.

Lin Xiaoming smiled faintly, and did not express his opinion. He just looked at Chen Musheng, who was smiling all the time on his left hand, a little fatter, gray-haired and wearing glasses, "What do you think of Director Chen? Do you think Yu Wenle is suitable? "

Chen Musheng pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Only in terms of image, temperament and acting skills, Yu Wenle is really suitable."

"Ok?"

Lin Xiaoming stared at Chen Musheng suddenly and said, "Director Chen, you seem to have something in your words? Is there something inappropriate about Yu Wenle?"

"Well! It didn't exist a week ago, but now it does!" Chen Musheng said bluntly.

Lin Xiaoming immediately paid attention to it. He put down his Erlang legs and leaned forward slightly, "Director Chen, do you value other actors? It's okay, just say it, as long as it's appropriate, I have no objection, everything is for the work. !"

This sentence is also true. For the boss of the film company, as long as the cost is not increased, the effect of the film will of course be higher and higher, which means word of mouth, which means money!

"Hehe, then I'll just say it straight!"

Chen Musheng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, waved his arms habitually and said, "You know, our "True Colors of a Man" focuses on real fights from fist to flesh, as well as extremely hot explosion scenes, so According to the plan, we specially invited Wu Jing, a new generation of real kung fu boy from mainland China, to play the role of the big villain Tian Yangyi, and then hired Xie Tingfeng, who has good acting skills and strong box office appeal, and now he is also learning kung fu from a teacher Acting as the leading role, originally..."

"How about this, Director Chen, are you trying to say that Yu Wenle has no real kung fu?"

Before Lin Xiaoming could speak, the manager of the production department sitting aside couldn't help but interrupt Chen Musheng's long speech.

"Yes!"

When others interrupted his speech, Chen Musheng was not angry. Instead, he laughed and explained: "Originally, it is not a major shortcoming that he can't fight. I can completely shape him into a master through post-editing. , but, I suddenly felt that the role of Fang Yiwei can actually be dug deeper and made him more powerful, so that it will be difficult for him to play without real kung fu."

"Uh, this, Director Chen, the current script is already very good, it's ok if you don't change it!"

Lin Xiaoming had to speak, because the script is not so easy to modify, sometimes just add a line of dialogue or even just add a scene, the whole layout of the movie is changed, as for whether it is better or worse, it depends specific situation.

However, no matter what the change is, the producers are actually reluctant to see it, because it means reassessing the investment risk again, which is a waste of time, isn't it?

"However, if it is modified, I think the plot will be fuller~ fuller, the plot will be better, and the fighting will be more exciting."

Chen Musheng spread his hands and said his suggestion helplessly.

Although he wrote and directed this movie, it can be said that he has a lot of initiative, but the attitude and opinions of investors must also be considered!People invest tens of millions in, so it's not indifferent.

Lin Xiaoming looked at his left and right hands, and the manager quickly came to his senses, and tentatively asked, "Then who did Director Chen take a fancy to? Now he can still play in the circle, and Wu Yanzu is the only one who matches his acting skills, age, and temperament." Yes, but his worth and schedule..."

"It's not Azu, he's a newcomer from the mainland!" Chen Musheng waved his hand and said.

"What? Newcomers from the mainland?"

Lin Xiaoming was startled at first, then he leaned on the large and comfortable boss chair, looked at Chen Musheng with folded arms and said, "Director Chen, I'm a little curious. What about the newcomer?"

The manager of the production department on the side quickly added: "That's right, Director Chen, can you explain in detail? As long as this person is really suitable, we definitely have no objections."

Chen Musheng looked at Lin Xiaoming's nod of approval, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I will actually choose this newcomer for two reasons!"

He paused and saw that Boss Lin was nodding his head and listening intently, so he said, "First and most importantly, he has strong skills!"

Speaking of this, Chen Musheng ignored his status as a major director, and said a little excitedly: "I saw his performance video by chance, it was really shocking, both of you have seen the long tube A glass? An empty glass was placed on the edge of the table, and he just blew the not light glass off the table with the wind of his fist and turned into fans..."

"Is it really that powerful?"

Both Lin Xiaoming and the manager of the production department changed their sitting positions at the same time, looking at Chen Musheng with piercing eyes, a sense of curiosity arose spontaneously.

"Can't my eyes tell if it's been 'processed'?"

Chen Musheng confidently pointed to his own tricks, nodded affirmatively and said: "I have worked with many Kung Fu stars in Hong Kong, and I have seen many real Kung Fu inheritors with my own eyes, but I can guarantee that their fists are absolutely perfect. Not as strong as the young man from mainland China. Maybe the world boxing champion Tyson is stronger than him, but his explosive speed is much worse. Another video of him did not use a microphone to amplify the sound, but the wind from his fists is absolutely audible , like a movie with a soundtrack.”

Hey, is this a joke?Really so fierce?

Lin Xiaoming and the manager looked at each other in surprise, but it seemed that Director Chen really admired this young man!His expression didn't look like he was joking either.

So, what he said is true?

Therefore, Lin Xiaoming immediately nodded and said, "Okay, we trust Director Chen's vision, so does this young man have any advantages? How many film and television dramas have he filmed? How is his popularity..."

As soon as he said this, he laughed himself: "Hehe, look, I'm so confused, I know he's a newcomer, but I still ask him about his popularity, it's really funny!"

Chen Musheng was also laughing, but he smiled very proudly, "Mr. Lin, can you use your computer? I want to show you something!" (To be continued.)
