Chapter 522 Different
After negotiating with people from several film and television companies, Ning Sheng finally decided to authorize the copyright to Hantang Film and Television Company under Hantang Entertainment, but the prerequisite for the other party to obtain the copyright is that they filmed the "Thunderbolt Angel" series. The script had to be reviewed by Ning Sheng first. If Ning Sheng was not satisfied, the sequel could not be started. Then there was another condition that unless the three of Ning Tong voluntarily refused to act in the sequel, the three heroines of the film could not be changed at will.

It was precisely because of these two conditions that some other companies shook their heads and rejected Ning Sheng, but only the people from Hantang Film and Television finally agreed after a few days of meetings.

Of course, out of compensation for others, or because Ning Sheng doesn't care about the copyright fee, the authorization fee is directly waived, but Xingtong Studio has the priority investment in the "Thunderbolt Angel" series, second only to Hantang Film and Television Rights can be regarded as preparations in advance for participating in film dividends in the future.

Then there is his new movie "Rage Rescue". The heroine Emma has been trained in advance for nearly half a year, and now she seems to be a different person. Even Xinxin feels that her mother has become a little scared and doesn't follow her. She got close, which made Emma both happy and sad. Of course, Ning Cheng had to be cleaned up at night, because all of this was caused by Ning Cheng's new play.

In order for Emma to return to normal as soon as possible, and for Xinxin not to be estranged from her mother, the filming of this movie must start as soon as possible.

Thus, the casting of Ning Sheng's new movie officially started!

Because the protagonists of this movie are all foreigners, the Huaxia actors are all foreign characters except for the role of Xiaoye Fan that was finalized earlier.

So, when the domestic media broke out that Ning Sheng's new play was recruiting actors, the actors sighed, because this time they didn't have any chance from the beginning.

But at this time, Fan Xiaoye posted a photo of himself training hard on Weibo, and wrote, "I am honored to participate in Director Ning's new film. Although it is a small player, we must work hard!"

Soon, this Weibo became the number one searched item along with the title of Ning Cheng's new play "Rage Rescue"!

But at this time, Ning Sheng has no time to care about the domestic hype and news. He is currently in the United States, making final preparations for the crew, while supervising the assistant director and the Hollywood producer to cast the film's cast.

Because in this movie, in addition to Julia Roberts' studio, Disney also participated in the investment of 5000 million Huaxia coins, so it is normal for people from Hollywood to join the crew.

"Director Ning Sheng's crew is openly recruiting actors?" In a restaurant in Los Angeles, a girl with freckles screamed. Suddenly, there was a swipe, and everyone in the restaurant looked over.

Although Ning Sheng is already well-known to almost everyone in Asia, he is still not as good in Europe and America, although Ning Sheng's farewell tour has increased his popularity among fans in Europe and America.

But among the movie fans, even though the director Ning Sheng has made "Face Changing", "Taken", and "Thunderbolt Angel" which are equally popular in the western world, the fans and audience are obviously all over the world, everyone pays attention The focus is on the male and female protagonists. As for who the director is, very few people pay attention.

But the freckled girl who just screamed is a North American audience who rarely pays attention to who the director is.

Because she is not only a young girl in her prime, but also a young actor who has come to Hollywood with the American dream and star dream, although so far, she has only played a few tricks in a few low-level film and television dramas role, but as a person who always dreams of becoming famous in Hollywood, he must always pay attention to the director and have a deep understanding of the director.

After all, if you make a wrong choice because you don't know whether the director is a big director or a newcomer, you will lose a lot.

Why, everyone wants to participate in the works of great directors, isn't it because it is easier to become popular and become famous in the works of great directors.Whether it's opportunity, exposure, or even the partner in the movie, the gap between a director and a new director is obvious.

The little girl with freckles is very clear about this, and she just finished watching "Angel of the Thunderbolt" recently, so she is naturally familiar with the director Ning Sheng, a Chinese, especially when she got to know more about it, this Chinese director is different from other worlds. Not all famous directors are the same.

Not only because of the other party's status as a talented singer, but also because since the other party's entry into the industry, almost every movie he shoots is bound to be a hit at the box office. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was from China, she would have rushed to meet him in the other party's city. By chance, she felt that if she participated in this movie directed by Huaxia, she would be more popular than others.

But today, the news she found on her mobile phone is that the director Ning Sheng's new movie is being cast in the United States, and this movie has a completely western background and story, and the actors are almost all Westerners, and the heroine is actually directed by Ning Sheng. Lover, Emma Roberts, one of America's Four Little Stars.

Think about it, this is a comeback work prepared by a husband for his wife, so it goes without saying that the thought and energy spent, and the news said that the budget of this movie is 8000 million Huaxia coins, which is [-] Even in North America today, it can be called an upper-middle-level production. Even if post-production promotion costs are added, it is certain that it will exceed [-] million, so it is not a problem to say that it is a big production.

Such a film, with a great director who has never failed, a once-popular actress in Hollywood, and the director's lover as the heroine, will the chance of success be greater?
The freckle girl hurriedly finished her lunch and hurried back to the dormitory. She had to prepare a bit, and then immediately went to participate in the actor's exemption test, and work hard again for her star dream!

"Director Ning Sheng? That talented director from China? Is he the director of "Thunderbolt Angel"?" "He started a new crew?" "It's almost June, it's time to start"

The place where the freckle girl rented was an apartment, and the people she shared with her were all girls who came to Hollywood to pursue their dreams like her. When she came back, everyone was talking about it, everyone was excited, everyone They were all checking the news of Ning Sheng's new movie with their mobile phones.

Ai Wen, the freckle girl, didn't care to greet everyone. Seeing that everyone had seen the news, she felt even more urgent. She returned to her small room, changed into clean and tidy clothes in a hurry, and then carried her The packet went out.

After Ai Wen left, everyone seemed to remember what they should do. Immediately, several girls shouted and went back to the house to start changing clothes, putting on makeup, and asking someone to borrow clothes if they didn’t have the right clothes, in order to get a chance to lead to their dreams , all busy.

At the same time, in a room in downtown Los Angeles, the Foys are playing with their daughter, because they can only stand aside when they are working on weekdays, allowing the director and others to communicate with their daughter, and they are also on the set. On the other hand, there is not much time to communicate with their daughter, so when the daughter is not working, it is the best time for the Foy couple to accompany their children and communicate with their daughter.

But this time after they had played for a while, the phone rang at home, and the host had no choice but to get up and answer the phone.

"A production fee of 8000 million U.S. dollars——Ning Sheng's crew? Oh, I know that our family has watched his movie "Angel in Thunderbolt", are you sure? Well, I know—"

"What's the matter?" The hostess came over and asked, "Is it a new job?"

The host nodded and said, "It was George's call just now, and he recommended a new movie role for Foy to try."

The hostess frowned and said, "It's so fast, it's been less than two months since Foy's last play ended. We agreed to let her take a break and read."

The hero said helplessly, "I know, but this time the opportunity is different. This time the director of the film is Ning Sheng from China, who is the director of the "Thunderbolt Angel", remember?"

Seeing the hostess nodded, the host continued, "This film not only involves Hollywood's Disney, but also Julia Roberts' studio, and Huaxia's film and television company, which is very good for Foy's future development. As for this director from China, we also know that this is a very talented director, Foy will have many benefits to cooperate with him, and Foy is only ten years old after all, and the working time will not be long, wait for this How about we give Foy a half-year vacation after filming this movie?"

The hostess thought for a while, then looked at the two children playing not far away and said, "Let's ask Foy for her own opinion. If she is too tired and doesn't want to act, then let's let Foy rest."

The host nodded, then walked over with the hostess, knelt down and said, "Foy, we have something to talk to you——"

As if he had expected it long ago, Mackenzie Foy put down the building blocks in his hand, turned to look at his parents and asked, "Is there a new movie job?"

The host nodded, and seemed to be used to his child's precociousness and said, "Just now your agent George called and told me that there is an action movie jointly invested by China and the United States. There is a girl character who is recruiting actors. It is a very good one." Do you want to try the role? By the way, the director of this movie is Ning Sheng, the director of your favorite "Thunderbolt Angel", do you still remember?"

McKenzie Foy thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and said, "Well, I remembered, the action inside is very beautiful, so will my character this time also have action scenes? Will I learn to be like a little spy? ?”

The male host shook his head and said, "It seems not. George said that this character is an ordinary child. She will be kidnapped in the movie, and then rescued by the protagonist in the end. How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"

Foy took a look and built a general building block and said, "Well, I haven't worked with a Huaxia director yet!"

An investment of 8000 million U.S. dollars, no matter in Hollywood or China, is not a big deal now, but this time a Chinese director's large-scale casting in the United States has aroused a lot of interest from the American media, especially the director. Ning Sheng and the protagonist Emma are the most famous multinational couples in the world, and many gossip media dug out some breaking news from them.

Not only the United States, but also the major magazines and TV stations from China are already boiling, but no matter who calls, the answer is the same.

"What? Don't accept interviews? Don't they want to promote their movies?" "Wait for the press conference to promote? Isn't it a good time?" "Disney officials, director Ning Sheng, and Emma are not interviewed? What the hell are they doing?!"

However, no matter how upset the reporters were, when Ning Sheng, the only person who could handle all matters of the film, made a decision, even Disney was very puzzled, but he had no choice but to twist his nose and admit it.

Ning Sheng didn't bother to deal with the reporters and the media, and now it was more important to choose a good role for the film. In fact, the most important role in this film was Emma, ​​and then the little girl who triggered the whole plot.

In the original movie of another time and space, the little girl was played by Dakota Fanning. Ning Cheng thought it was very good, but in this life, Fanning has grown up to be a big girl in her 20s, so you can’t play it at all. So he can only let the American staff go to the screening, and then he has the final interview.

In one morning, he auditioned five little girls, all of whom were brought by their parents, but none of them could express the feeling in his heart. He felt that even if it was not good, it might be the same as Dakota Fanning's feeling. The same, but the character of this character must be shown as a precocious little adult character, otherwise this character will not be able to impress people. If there is no way to make the audience like this girl, then the child will be taken away later. Ai The process of Ma saving people will lose a lot of motivation, making the audience unable to immerse themselves in the plot.So this role does not seem to have many roles, but it is really important!
Just when Ning Cheng was worrying and wondering if he should find a solution with Julia, the next interview girl came in.

To Ning Cheng's surprise, this time the little girl did not follow her parents. The previous few children seemed to have just entered the industry not long ago, and they didn't want to come in without their parents' company. Of course, it may have something to do with their age of seven or eight, but Right now, this one walked in alone, not timid at all, but curiously scanned the three interviewers in the room, then walked to the chair in the middle with his calves and said, "I'm Mackenzie Foy. I have participated in five interviews before. Movies are all small supporting roles, thank you everyone!"

Ning Cheng looked at the little brown-haired girl who had been looking at him several times since entering the room. Instead of showing his small face like before, he purposely said with a straight face, "I noticed that you always stared at me after you came in, did you?" Because you haven't seen a Chinese person, are you still curious about my appearance?"

Foy was sitting on a small chair, her calves were hanging in front of her, and she was clasping her hands. She seemed to be a very obedient and well-behaved girl. However, on her raised face, two black eyeballs rolled around. , looked at Ning Sheng and said, "I'm just curious about the difference between talented directors from China and other Asians."

Ning Sheng continued to ask, "Then do you think I am different from other Asians now?"

Foy blinked and said, "You are as serious as them, and you don't like to laugh. Although you don't have glasses, I think the biggest difference between you is that you are sitting here, while others don't!"
