At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 434 Casting of "Struggle"...

"It takes a lot of skill to make a film full of symbolic meaning, and from Wuji's point of view, Director Chen obviously doesn't have this kind of ability!" Ning Hao continued: "Is there a possibility that this is His real level?"

"...It's not...his level is still there. The biggest problem with "The Promise" is the lack of explanation of the world view and the details of the story, making people incomprehensible..."

"So, I say "The Promise" is a bad movie!"

Shen Xudong interjected: ""The Promise" is the most expensive movie produced in China, but the basic quality of the movie-narrative and character creation is extremely poor. On facial makeup characterization...

That's why it creates the effect that the audience frequently laughs and plays during the show.I understand allegories, insinuations, philosophy, and human symbols. I understand it the first time I read it. It’s really not advanced. I just feel that you are all facial makeup, and the truth is written on your face. ? "

"Trying to use gorgeous allegorical lines to explain the truth, the result is that the truth is too simple, so it forms a feeling of mystification..."

"That's right, that's the feeling, like a castle in the air, the plot is weak, but the appearance is extremely exaggerated!"

Ning Hao added: "Da Dao Chen reached a peak in "Farewell My Concubine". But he was isolated later, and there is no one around him who tells the truth, so he must marry a good wife!"

Shen Xudong glanced at him, and then said: "... When you are being interviewed, don't say such things!"

Ning Hao smiled: "...I'm not a fool!"

Hehe - this sentence is what Ning Hao said in an interview after "Stone"!
In fact, the team can't do it!

Starting from "The Promise", Director Chen has basically set up a team temporarily for each film to re-run each time. The risk of trial and error is extremely high. A good director must have a mature and tacit understanding of the regular team!

Tsui Hark has Shi Nansheng; Feng Xiaogang has Wang Shuo, Liu Zhenyun, Ge You; Wang Jiawei has Du Kefeng; Zhang Yimou has fine arts and photography...

Who is Director Chen?

Just one old film!

Mrs. Chen's production ability is not too much to say that it breaks through the chassis, right?
The team was not good enough, which led to the blood spurting in the front and weak in the back, so later on it got the nickname of "Half Master".

"The Promise" is actually the same reasoning. There is no denying how rough the special effects shots are. At that time, I found a Hong Kong company to outsource it, because the producer thought it was "cheap" and "the price was half that of a Hollywood production company"...

Of course the producer has to dig, it is to spend wisely, but digging wisely also really makes people don't know what to say.

After working with him for almost ten years, executive director Zhang Jinzhan, who was kicked out later, said: "The most incomprehensible thing for me is that the knife in "The Promise" that was shot as a close-up shot turned out to be a wooden knife! Because I worked with him Ten years of experience, he will not tolerate such a mistake."

Chen Xi changed the topic: "Forget it, let's not talk about "The Promise", "Stone" is going to be released in June, is the next work ready?"

"...I want to reorganize the script of "Silver Medal Driver" I wrote before..."

"When will we be able to shoot?"

Ning Hao pondered for a while, and then said: "I guess it will take until the end of the year..."

Chen Xi waved his hand: "What are you waiting for at the end of the year? Ask Xudong for a script...I'll start working on it right away. Let me tell you, the company has made money, and it has to withdraw more than three new movies every year..."

Ning Hao glanced at Shen Xudong, who was also puzzled: "Why don't I know?"

""Wulin Biography" has earned almost 4000 million yuan, and the licensing of games and stage plays is being done...Mr. Gao..."

"That can't be messed around... The risk of the movie is still very high!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "At least wait until "Stone" is released... In this way, you can finish writing the story of "Silver Driver" first, and wait for "Stone" to be released. , start immediately!"

"…it is good!"

Chen Xi glanced at Shen Xudong: "Don't you have a ready-made script?"

"... I don't have time to write the script... Tomorrow I have to go to casting!"

"Are you going to cast a role? You just go to see beautiful women!"

Shen Xudong looked innocent: "...I was serious and responsible, so I chose the role myself, for the sake of art!"

Han Yan couldn't help interjecting: "Casting? What kind of role?"

Chen Xi explained: "His "Struggle" is about to be adapted into a TV series, the director is Zhao Baogang, and how many roles have not yet been decided!"

Han Yan immediately said: "...I've read the novel "Struggle", which characters are still undecided?"

"It's just Mi Lai who hasn't decided yet..."

"Who did Lu Tao and Charlene find?"

Shen Xudong pouted at Chen Xi: "Ask her!"

Chen Xidao: "Wang Jinghua recommended Tong Dawei and Ma Yili. I thought Ma Yili was too bitter, so I replaced it with Zeng Li and Hua Zi. I originally recommended Sha Yi...Zhao Baogang didn't like the actors in "Wulin Biography", so I replaced them with Zhang Yi!"

Han Yan asked again: "Where's Yang Xiaoyun? Have to find a Beijing movie?"

"Hmm... Tang Yan went to the audition and was immediately rejected. I recommended my classmate Gao Lu..."

……

That's right, "Struggle" was originally planned to be jointly produced by Xin Baoyuan and Shijiu Culture, and Shen Xudong's Tianmei Media participated in the investment...

Out of respect for the original time and space, Shen Xudong thought it was pretty good.

Then don't change it!

Then, Gao Fenfen found out, and directly scolded Shen Xudong as a prodigal...

"Struggle" sold millions of copies, directed by Zhao Baogang and written by Shen Xudong himself.

It meets all the conditions for a hit, and it can be said to be a must-see drama.

Why doesn't the company take control of the investment?

Too much money?
What she said made sense, Shen Xudong couldn't refute it, and then Shijiu Culture was kicked out, and became the main console investment of Tianmei Media, and the copyright was also in hand... Then Xinbaoyuan co-produced it.

Of course, Wang Jinghua has been busy for a long time, and followed up with 10% of the cast, taking away the role of Lu Tao by the way.

The rest of the characters, Tianmei rounded up!
Of course, the director needs to nod...

Zhao Baogang has no opinion on this. Xin Baoyuan also has contracted artists, but none are particularly suitable—Song Dandan, Sun Honglei, Chen Xiaoyi, Tan Kai... who is suitable?
……

Millais in "Struggle" is a very important character.

By the way, there are Lu Lu, Zhu Tou...

Lu Lu still decided on Xu Fanxi - she is an actress under Xin Baoyuan's banner, she must be given one, right?

Pig head... of course Zhou Xiaoou, he is perfect for this role!
There is also Xiang Nan, the background of this character is to be honest and not too upright, so Zhu Yuwen can't do it.

Yu Entai is actually quite suitable, no matter his age, acting skills, or appearance are reliable, but Zhao Baogang criticized "Wulin Biography" on the front foot, and used other actors on the back foot?

Therefore, the company strongly recommended Lu Fangsheng...

Lu Fangsheng is actually not very suitable...

Chen Xi pawed around, then called his classmate Wang Lei and invited him to audition...

Wang Jinghua recommended the coat of arms...

Try both of them!

As for Mi Rae...really have to cast!

Shen Xudong didn't look at beautiful women, he was serious and responsible.

Art needs to be observed on the spot, and even, when necessary, he can dedicate himself to art!
