superstar director

Chapter 544 Characters
Ning Tong took over Wang Qiang's "Star Wish", and it officially launched at the end of March. Now she is trying to figure out the script, and occasionally plays against the leading actor Zhang Yixing. People directly clarified it once on Weibo, and then they no longer care about it.

Of course, for these two popular stars who are so popular, no matter how you explain it as an artist, how the media should hype it up, and the fans of the two are also old people for many years, but they will not be dissatisfied because of this storm. Panic paled, everyone seemed to be watching the excitement, occasionally chatting about this topic on forums and post bars.

Originally, the new spring started, and the three of NLZ were supposed to report to the crew of "Thunderbolt Angel 2" produced by Hantang Film and Television. However, a few days ago, there was a sudden call from there, saying that there was an emergency at the director's house, and the filming plan was suspended , moved the entire shooting schedule from the first half of the year to the second half of the year.

As a result, the first half of the year for Ning Tong and the others were all vacant. At this time, Ning Tong had already been taken by Wang Qiang first, and the other two soon had other invitations to their door.

Sister Lin is no longer in charge of their personal business at this time, and the former assistants they promoted are now acting as managers, and they will be in charge of contacting the three of them for their personal activities in the future.

Although he was a little flustered and flustered at the beginning, after all, he had been with Ning Tong and the others for many years to get the old man, and after a week, he sorted out all the work.

Ying Bao had to choose and choose, and finally chose the new movie "King of Killers" starring Brother Jie. This action movie with a total investment of [-] million yuan, the heroine's role is not bad.After all, in action movies from a male perspective, the roles of female characters are often embellished with an overly serious plot atmosphere, or set up to make the image of the male protagonist more plump.

The reason why Yingbao chose this role was because after comparing her, she felt that this role was more suitable for her. Besides, with Brother Jie, a new generation of kung fu superstar, there was no need to worry about the box office. She could fill in another one in her profile. good achievement.

As for the last poem, this cute girl had a week of discussions with her new manager, and finally came to the conclusion that she didn't accept any of them.

Because of the staff, Shishi's answer is that she doesn't like it!

Well, as one of the members of NLZ, she can make such willful decisions.Even if she just wanted to be lazy and didn't work for the first half of the year, no one could do anything to her.

Although Sister Lin is no longer in charge of their personal affairs, she still has attention, and Ning Sheng is starting to prepare his next work.

In these years, since the two parts of "Swordsman", Ning Sheng's movies have mostly been based on foreign scenes, or remakes of Hollywood works from another time and space, but now, Ning Sheng misses the ancient Chinese movies.

And during the Chinese New Year, Ning Cheng chatted with the bosses of some film and television companies, and found that everyone was a little disappointed in the genre of China's ghost movies. Once upon a time, this genre had many box office hits, but in the past ten years, ghost movies The genre seems to be stereotyped, no matter how you shoot it, it is the same old routine, so that everyone has no sense of novelty and interest in watching movies.

Even zombies, a hot topic in the category of ghost movies, are not popular now, let alone those ordinary ghost movies.

Although the Huaxia film market has become more and more prosperous in recent years, there seem to be only a few types of movies that are popular. In addition to Hollywood superhero blockbusters, they are China or Hollywood action blockbusters, or Kung Fu comedies with comedy elements. In short, today’s Huaxia Domestic films are mainly supported by two genres of comedy and action.

There used to be martial arts, but now it is too difficult for martial arts movies to get a high box office. Basically, the box office data is less than one billion, while other types of movies, such as dramas, romance movies, disaster movies, science fiction movies , adventure films, etc., either come out once in a while, and the success depends entirely on luck, or the audience's response is flat when the movie is released, and it is not as popular as the previous martial arts and the current kung fu comedy genre.

Although the unsatisfactory box office of a movie has something to do with the quality of the movie and the method of publicity, but in the final analysis, it is the taste of the audience that is the golden key to determine the direction of the movie market.

Therefore, the bosses of these film and television companies will produce different types of movies and release them every year, and then grasp the current audience's tastes according to the box office response.In particular, the audience's movie-watching tastes are not always the same. The audience will change their movie-watching tastes for various reasons, such as growing up, dating a girlfriend, getting married, falling out of love, etc. And so on.

And every time, the first one to grasp the changes in the audience's taste will always be the one who can eat the biggest bite of the cake!

However, more often than not, the audience's taste changes suddenly, or a movie suddenly appears, and then the audience discovers that I still like this type of movie.

However, film and television companies produce so many movies every year, except for those that lose money, fail, or just keep their capital, there are not many movies that can make a profit, or make the company a lot of money. Therefore, for these film and television companies, it is not only Make money by relying on the production capacity of your own company. In that case, you absolutely cannot afford to support so many employees.

Most of these large film and television companies will participate in investing in the films of other companies, or the filmmakers they are optimistic about. Even though sometimes the proportion of investment is not much, but it is rarely worth more. If an investment can get a profit of 100 million , Those ten are 1000 million, not to mention, now that the film market is so prosperous, if a movie is a big hit, the share ratio can easily reach tens of millions.

For ghost movies, many film and television investors love and hate it. They love it because of its small investment scale. It used to be a few million, but now it can be made with a small cost of tens of millions. I will give you a big surprise at the box office at any time, which is really a good thing for a lot of money.

And the reason why people hate it is because the current ghost movies almost hit the market one by one, whether it is ancient costumes, modern times, or a combination of zombies and vampires, in short, ghost movies that used to make money for everyone have now become Lost goods.

Of course, for this, many filmmakers are also very helpless. The ghost film genre has been filmed for decades. Various stories and ideas have been tried over and over again. There is really a kind of ghost film industry now. The predecessors have gone all the way, leaving the latecomers with nowhere to go!

However, a healthy, sustainable and prosperous film market cannot be supported by one or two types of films alone, let alone for a long time. After all, if a certain type of film is shown more times, the audience will naturally feel fatigued, so , everyone still hopes that other types of films in China can develop better.

What makes Ning Sheng interesting is that in the chats of these people, they are all intentionally asking him to open a new genre for Huaxia movies, or to activate some previous genres again, so that the audience will like it again, and for the film market. Lay a deeper foundation for development.

Ning Sheng thought about it carefully, and finally decided to position his next movie as "A Chinese Ghost Story".

In another time and space, when talking about Chinese ghost films, Nie Xiaoqian is a character that has to be mentioned. This story extracted from Liao Zhai is very classic.

Whether it is Nie Xiaoqian's female ghost's rivalry, or Ning Caichen's stubbornness and infatuation as a weak scholar, they have left a deep impact on all movie fans.

Ghost movies in this world, because there is no old monster Xu, naturally there is no such a classic movie, and Ning Sheng did not copy the original idea, because the two protagonists of the original version, Wang Zuxian and his brother, are both over forty in this world. I really can't act anymore.

Therefore, he can only overthrow all the actors and start over, but the plot does not need to be changed too much. Thanks to today's advanced technology, the later spells and special effects scenes will naturally look better.

The difference between this Chinese Ghost Story and other ghost films is that she not only has the horror and horror elements in ghost films, but also has true love and true love that are not found in other ghost films, not to mention, she also added various spells, swordsmanship, etc. to subdue demons. The means of eliminating demons can be said to be completely different from those in previous ghost films, where ghosts just come out to scare people, or take revenge.

In fact, you have to classify the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", you can put it in ghost movies, you can put it in action movies, and you can even rely on it in the direction of romance movies.This is a new ghost film that mixes various elements.

Ning Sheng didn't know if this "A Chinese Ghost Story" could provide some different ideas for filmmakers in this world. He only hoped that the classics he brought from another time and space could also shine brightly in the world!become a classic.

Therefore, we must be cautious in the choice of the two protagonists!
Of course, it is impossible to find an actor who is exactly the same as the original version. Brothers in their 40s can't play Ning Caichen, but they can play other roles. Ning Cheng almost instantly chose the role for Rong Shao, and that is the original version. Yan Chixia, the character of Wuma.

The original version of Yan Chixia looked rough and sloppy, but in Ning Cheng's own movie, Ning Cheng decided to change Yan Chixia's image, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of Rong Shao's peerless beauty?

Thus, a decadent and handsome Yan Chixia, who resembled a wine sword fairy, appeared in Ning Cheng's mind.

The more Ning Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. Rong Shao's Yan Chixia could be a bit refined, a bit crazy, a bit decadent, and a bit confused, but she would always come and go, a pot of wine, a handful of Sword, cut off all the demons and ghosts in the world.

While Ning Cheng was thinking in his mind, he began to hand-paint. In one afternoon, he hand-painted a few portraits of Yan Chixia with Young Master Rong as his template. There was the loneliness of sitting on the roof facing the moon and drinking wine, and the bravery of unsheathing a long sword across the world. , there is the majesty of sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, motionless as a mountain!

Ning Cheng looked at a few paintings and felt that they were pretty good, then he took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to Young Master Rong. After a while, Young Master Rong sent a message, "Are you planning to switch careers to online games, and then you want to ask me to be your endorser?"

Ning Cheng saw Rong Shao's mischievous joke, and replied, "Then can't I give you a dragon-slaying sword?"

"Then match it with one, and give me a cheat book or something at the end!"

"Yes, you will film a movie with me in the first half of the year, and after the filming, I will give you a set of eighteen weapons for you to choose!"

"Are you going to start a new movie? That photo is my character? Are you going to shoot martial arts?"

"It's not martial arts, it's a ghost story taken from Liao Zhai. Your character is an important supporting role. You know spells and swordsmanship. It's very powerful. How about it? Are you interested?"

"Ah - it's a supporting role, why not the protagonist?" Young Master Rong called directly, and asked Ning Cheng in dissatisfaction, "You don't know who to praise, so let me be a green leaf?"

Ning Sheng shook his head and said, "No, the hero and heroine have not yet been decided, I just think you are quite suitable for Yan Chixia's role, so I want to see if you want to come and play. Those old guys don't want me to shoot some new genres The movie, this time the ghost movie is an attempt, if it succeeds, it will be both fame and fortune!"

Rong Shao smiled and said, "What if it fails? You go back and continue making your own action movies, and I will be miserable! It will become box office poison."

Ning Sheng immediately patted his chest and said, "If that's the case, my brother will definitely make another movie and make you a panacea for the box office!"

"Hahaha--"

In this way, Shao Rong became the first actor to sign a contract with "A Chinese Ghost Story".For Young Master Rong, this is not the first time he has participated in Ning Cheng's movie. He has made guest appearances more than once before. This time he officially joins as a supporting role. The type will see if it can be driven again.

After finishing a role, Ning Cheng turned around and looked at the names of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian. Star faces began to flash in his mind. After choosing and choosing, he found that the girl Shishi seemed to be the most suitable for the role of Nie Xiaoqian.

In the original version in another time and space, Wang Zuxian interpreted Nie Xiaoqian, a female ghost, as real and illusory as possible, which was endearing, almost redefining the word female ghost.

And Shishi's appearance and temperament are actually quite in tune with Nie Xiaoqian, both have the temperament of an oriental classical woman, the only difference is that there may be a gap in their acting skills.

Although Shishi in this time and space has improved her acting skills with the help of Ning Cheng, she is obviously still a level behind Wang Zuxian, and Ning Cheng doesn't ask her to act in Wang Zuxian's ethereal, only hope Shishi can make this Nie Xiaoqian performed her own soul!

Many times, we say that an actor's acting skills are compared in the environment of that work, but for an actor whose acting skills are not so superb, in fact, meeting a role that suits him is better than participating in any big production. It is even more important to cooperate with big names.

Because when your acting skills are limited, the more you imagine the image of actors and characters, the more exciting the performance will be. Conversely, when your acting skills are not enough, and you are not suitable for the role, it will not only make your acting awkward , Everyone feels even more awkward when watching it.

All in all, for an actor, a role that suits him is really rare.

And Ning Sheng hopes that Shishi can rely on her fit with the character to create a different but equally wonderful Nie Xiaoqian from the original version.
