Become Famous Another Day

Liu Teli asked Lu Yanhe: "How long will it take to shoot this movie?"

"It's probably just a winter vacation, because we can only shoot during Huang Feng's winter vacation." Lu Yanhe explained, "This year's Spring Festival may also be the same. We have to keep shooting without stopping."

After Lu Yanhe finished speaking, he felt that the possibility of Liu Teli agreeing to shoot this movie was even lower.

Liu Teli nodded and said, "I have to think about this script again. I can't give you an answer right away."

"Okay, no problem, but Mr. Liu, please give us a reply as soon as possible, because the filming start time is not far away." Hu Siwei said.

"Okay, I'll give you an answer in the next two days." Liu Teli smiled after saying that, "I'm going to take care of the elbow and stew it. This will take a long time. We'll talk later."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Let me go and give you a shot."

"What's there to do here? It's a very simple job." Liu Teli waved his hand.

Chen Qiang said with a smile: "Don't do anything to him. He has an elbow. From the beginning to the end, no one will be allowed to have a hand in it. Otherwise, if the taste is a little worse, it will be your fault."

Liu Teli: "The taste was a bit off a few times before. You did it a few times when I wasn't paying attention. It's not like I wronged you."

Chen Qiang gently rolled her eyelids up.

Lu Yanhe and others laughed.

"I heard that the heroine of "Doomsday" is interested in Jiang Yuqian?"

As soon as Chen Pinhe got home, Zhang Yuezhen came down from upstairs wearing a long skirt made of soft texture.

Her question stunned Chen Pinhe.

"I haven't heard of it, but it's not surprising to find Jiang Yuqian. She is one of the most well-known Chinese actresses in the world."

"Jiang Yuqian—" Zhang Yuezhen looked slightly hesitant, as if he didn't want to see Jiang Yuqian and Chen Pinhe act in this movie together.

Chen Pinhe: "If Parameter wants to find Jiang Yuqian to star in this movie, it is beyond our control. It is not a domestic film company."

"What if Parameter has a better choice?" Zhang Yuezhen said, "For Parameter, it is enough to have you as an actor in the Chinese market, isn't it? Why use two Chinese actors."

Chen Pinhe asked: "Yue Zhen, why don't you want Jiang Yuqian to star in this movie? She is very well-known and popular around the world because of "Squid Game". If she participates, it will also help the movie."

"Because I don't want you to cooperate with her." Zhang Yuezhen said, "You know, I hate when you have intimate scenes with those beautiful female stars."

Chen Pinhe's eyebrows relaxed as if relieved, and he smiled, "Are you trying to convince Parameter to find an unattractive actress to play the role?"

"If it were a foreign actress and you didn't have much contact with her, I would be less jealous." Zhang Yuezhen raised her head slightly and looked at Chen Pinhe, "You promised me that you won't make me jealous."

Chen Pinhe: "Yue Zhen, how could Jiang Yuqian and I have anything to do with each other?"

"I don't care." Zhang Yuezhen hugged Chen Pinhe's arm, "Anyway, I will find a way, and you have to support me."

Chen Pinhe said with a smile: "I can actually do it, but we spent a lot of effort to get the movie "Day of Destruction". Let's not let the small lose the big."

"Of course not. With my relationship with Nicole, she will definitely ensure that you star in "Destruction Day"." Zhang Yuezhen said.

After Lu Yanhe and his group came out of Liu Teli's house, Chen Yin asked: "Do you think Liu Teli will agree to star in this movie?"

"It's hard to say." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "To be honest, no matter from any aspect, there is no reason why Mr. Liu Teli must take this role. He is not the kind of very productive actor, and he is not the kind of actor who only needs to be able to act. Just pick up the actor.”

"Oh, you're right." Chen Yin sighed, "Although Liu Teli and his wife were very enthusiastic just now, it was obviously because of you, not because of this movie."

"If Mr. Liu Teli really doesn't act in the end, there is nothing we can do." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "We can't force this kind of thing. We can only contact other actors."

"Actually, if we follow the direction of Mr. Liu Teli, there are still many actors that we have not contacted before, but in all aspects, Mr. Liu Teli may not be as suitable as him."

Among actors, there are too few middle-aged actors who can gradually gain such popularity with the audience as Liu Teli did. Basically, at Liu Teli's age, to still have such popularity and appeal among the audience, he is either a superstar who has become famous all the way and has a long-lasting success, or he has become successful in middle age and has not been famous for a long time—

After all, the audience's likes and attention are limited. There aren't that many celebrities who can really make them like them for so long. Love has a time limit.

Chen Yin said: "If it really doesn't work, there is another way."

"What idea?" Lu Yanhe asked.

"Try using popular actors like Liu Zefan and Huang Kairen. Since the characters can be made older or younger, let popular actors like them with acting skills play such a type of role that they have never played before. ”

"Then the movie may lose a bit of innocence, and it will make everyone's impression of the movie misaligned." Lu Yanhe said, "If Mr. Liu Teli leads one of them, it will create a combination of old and young. , maybe better. If both of them are popular young actors, but the subject is such a family comedy, everyone’s impression of this movie will be a little blurry.”

"I still hope that the focus of this movie is still on this child. If the audience's attention is taken away by two stupid thieves, the effect of the movie will be compromised."

Lu Yanhe has never objected to the use of stars in a film. On the contrary, he understands the role of stars very well. However, it is absolutely nonsense to say that a movie can achieve good box office results with only a few popular stars.

You have to use stars in the right place to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

This is a science.

Shen Teng acted in a crime suspense film, and the box office was still cut in half (it could actually sell hundreds of millions, so he already has enough box office appeal).

Chen Yin himself actually quickly realized how unreliable his proposal just now was. After Lu Yanhe said it, he would never mention it again.

On the way back, Lu Yanhe kept thinking about who else would play these two stupid thieves, who would have a good chemistry.

Thinking about it, my scalp is almost broken.

"Actually... it's quite interesting for Li Zhibai to play a stupid thief who can bluff." Chen Yin suddenly said, "The kind of guy who looks smart but is actually stupid... is in contrast to his image, but also It won’t make anyone feel distorted.”

Li Zhibai is actually a very reckless and trouble-making person in everyone's mind. He is not that shrewd and is not one of the elites.

Lu Yanhe thought to himself, this is indeed the case.

However, if Li Zhibai is asked to play one of the stupid thieves, unless Mr. Liu Teli can play the other one, no one else can suppress Li Zhibai. A senior actor without corresponding popularity and status cannot "lead" Li Zhibai in the movie. This is just like how no actress could be pursued by Lu Yanhe as an "ordinary high school boy" in "Those Years".

After all, the key to the two stupid thieves in this movie is the "leading" thief. Once the actor for this thief is chosen, the other one can be matched in any way. You can match someone who is silly, you can match someone who is impulsive, or you can match someone who is not so normal. At this time, Chen Ziyan sent him a message: Have the two stupid thieves in "Home Alone" been cast? Many people are contacting me and sending me resumes.

Lu Yanhe told her about the situation here.

Chen Ziyan: Such a headache.

Lu Yanhe: Alas, when I first wrote this script, I thought it would be fine no matter which actor played it. I thought this script didn’t depend on the actors. Facts have proved that I was naive.

Chen Ziyan: If it really doesn't work, you can do it yourself. You can play one of the stupid thieves, and the other actor can be a middle-aged actor who has worked with you and played your elder. It will also work. With you here, the starring cast will be enough. .

Lu Yanhe: I...I have to attend the Spring Festival Gala and film "Friends", so how can I still film this movie?

Chen Ziyan: If you really need to film, the time can still be coordinated. The two days you filmed "Friends" were used to film the scenes between Wasp and another stupid thief. There are also many one-man scenes in your script, all in the same frame. There’s not that much drama. As for the Spring Festival Gala, we only need to participate in three concerts here. Fortunately, your status has improved and you are an old performer of the Spring Festival Gala, so you don’t need to participate in every concert.

Lu Yanhe: What you said makes me... ready to make a move.

Chen Ziyan: The subject matter of "Home Alone" actually has the potential to sell box office around the world. If you act in it, it will also help the film's overseas sales.

Lu Yanhe: But can I perform that kind of effect?

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

Chen Ziyan: You can relax. With the theme of "Home Alone", as long as you put down your pretensions as an actor and act with a playful attitude, you will definitely be able to perform well. This movie is mainly about cheerful exaggeration.

-

Lu Yanhe never thought that he could play "Home Alone" from the beginning.

Firstly, the main protagonist of this movie is Wasp, and secondly, he had a preconception that these two stupid thieves were supposed to be middle-aged people.

It was after he set his mind on Liu Teli that he suddenly discovered that the stupid thief's age setting could actually be modified.

Because age is not the main setting of these two stupid thieves, the main setting is their personality characteristics.

If he were to act, he definitely couldn't play the silly one.

The audience has no sense of involvement.

A young genius who passed Zhenhua in the college entrance examination and has become a leading figure in Chinese film and television in a few years, playing a fool?

But if he plays the "leader", the other "commanded" must not be an actor older than him. In the cultural atmosphere of "respecting the old and loving the young" in Chinese society, he wants the audience to feel relaxed , To laugh without burden, we must reduce these innate moral burdens.

So how to match it?

A young man born with a weak brain?

A pair of brainless brothers?

Various thoughts kept popping up in Lu Yanhe's mind.

"Cai Na?" Chen Ziyan looked at Lu Qingzhen in surprise, "She received an audition invitation for "Day of Destruction"?"

"Yes." Lu Qingzhen nodded, "Didn't you tell me that Yan He was going to be the leading actor in this movie at the beginning?"

"Yes, it was later changed to Chen Pinhe." Chen Ziyan said, "Cai Na...she has an agent in Hollywood?"

"No." Lu Qingzhen shook her head, "It was her agency in Thailand that received the audition invitation from Parameter. As far as I know, Parameter sent audition invitations to several famous actresses in Asia, including Jiang Yuqian."

Chen Ziyan showed doubts.

"Didn't they look for Chen Bige?"

"As far as I know, there is no such thing." Lu Qingzhen said, "It is possible that we have contacted him."

Chen Ziyan immediately called Chen Bige to confirm the news with her.

Chen Bige said: "I think I asked about it. My agent in the United States discussed it with me and turned it down for me. It was just a sideshow heroine with very few scenes and some intimate scenes. I didn't want to do it. "

"Let me tell you, this movie has sent audition invitations to several Asian actresses. Logically speaking, you should be their first choice." Chen Ziyan said.

Chen Bige must be the one with the best reputation internationally among Chinese actresses.

Especially in film.

Even though Jiang Yuqian became popular internationally with "The Squid Game", in the eyes of the film company, if one of them really had to be chosen to star in their movie, all other things being equal, it would definitely be Chen Bige.

Chen Bige said: "Since the release of "The Mist" starring Yan He, I have indeed received more Hollywood scripts coming to me, but the quality is not very good. They all want to make the topic of Asians popular and cater to the so-called diverse lineup. ”

"You really don't need to act in these ordinary movies."

"My agent in the United States is helping me negotiate a film, a spy film. If we can successfully negotiate, I will probably act in it next year." Chen Bige said, "She also feels that this film is very promising. So it’s not recommended for me to act in "Day of Destruction".

"I haven't read the script of "Doomsday" yet. Did they come to you and read the script to you?"

"I arranged for someone to send it to me to read." Chen Bige said, "It was really embarrassing, so she gave me twenty-four hours and someone to supervise to ensure that the script could not leave her sight. In fact, it was just a very ordinary, typed script. Commercial film scripts labeled as science fiction and disaster are still the same old routines.”

"In Hollywood blockbusters, the routines are always the same." Chen Ziyan said, "Then I almost know it."

This film is definitely a piece of cake for Jiang Yuqian and Caina, and it is a piece of cake that can help them rise in popularity.

Chen Ziyan was a little hesitant whether to help Caina compete for this role.

Hesitating, firstly, Caina's overseas agent appointment was not in her hands and she had no obligation to do it. Secondly, one of the starring roles in this movie was Chen Pinhe. Emotionally, Chen Ziyan did not want to have anything to do with Chen Pinhe.

The distance between Linghe and Shihuo and Chen Pinhe should be kept as far as possible.

But there is one thing to say, if Shihuo can help Caina compete for this movie, then for Shihuo, it means that the subsequent cooperative relationship with Caina can be further deepened.

Chen Ziyan will not only focus on the one-third of an acre of land in front of her just because she has signed Caina's agency in China.

Chen Ziyan thought for a long time and decided to have a good chat about this matter with Lu Yanhe.

She and Lu Yanhe still had to reach an agreement on matters with Chen Pinhe.

So, Chen Ziyan made an appointment with Lu Yanhe to meet at his house an hour later, and hurried downstairs.
