Chapter 1246 Salted Fish's Dream

Letting Ning Hao go to "Flying Tigers" as an assistant director is Li Mu's compensation to Ning Hao. As he said, people in the film and television industry across the country, except for those who have to pretend to be forced to die, are basically Wanting to work in the crew of this movie, this project is indeed a great opportunity to learn, be gilded, and become famous overnight. I have no doubt to arrange for such an opportunity for Ning Hao.

Ning Hao is also very grateful for Li Mu's care in his heart. From an unknown newcomer to being selected by Li Mu, he has followed Li Mu step by step to today. Almost all the promises Li Mu made to himself have been doubled. Although "Crazy Stone " was postponed, but he didn't blame Li Mu at all, he knew that Li Mu must have his reasons for doing so.

Now, Li Mu has provided himself with such a good opportunity, which made Ning Hao more determined to follow him all the way to the end. Before he was ready to be a boss, there was nothing luckier than finding a good boss.

At this time, Li Mu said again: "There is a third thing, say hello to Huang Bo and Tang Wei, I have arranged for them two supporting roles with not many roles but also many, Huang Bo will play one A local farmer in Huaxia, Tang Wei plays a Chinese female nurse."

Both of these two are contracted actors of Makino Image. Naturally, such a good opportunity can’t just be cheap to outsiders. Huang Bo’s image of a farmer in "Bullfighting" is three-pointed. With his acting skills, playing a farmer in "Flying Tigers" will definitely be She is brilliant, and Tang Wei is also very suitable for the image of a female nurse, and Li Mu also has great confidence in her.

In addition to the two of them, Li Mu also plans to arrange a role for Su Yingxue's cousin Wang Xinran. Wang Xinran is studying at the film school. She has filmed "Those Years" before, and her performance in it is remarkable. A new record was set at the movie box office, which gave her a certain reputation now, why not strike while the iron is hot and give her a better chance.

As soon as Ning Hao heard that Huang Bo was to play the role of a farmer, he immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Boss, Huang Bo's role as a farmer is really amazing. No matter what kind of farmer he is, I think he can play with his true colors!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Are you hurting him or praising him?"

Ning Hao smiled and said, "Half exaggeration, half loss! But he is indeed suitable for the role of a farmer!"

Li Mu nodded, and said: "There is more important thing, which is the selection of the leading role of the Chinese male lead. Now I have a rough candidate, you can help me as a staff member."

Ning Hao immediately sat up straight, and asked curiously: "Boss, who is the actor you prefer for this role?"

For the movie "Flying Tigers", the most important Chinese actors are two leading actors, one male and one female. Ning Hao is very aware of Li Mu's preference for Du Wei, so Li Mu has already decided to play the heroine by default. It is impossible for other people to have any competitiveness, so the leading actor has become Ning Hao's biggest mystery. He especially wants to know, based on Li Mu's vision and requirements, who will he choose to play the leading actor.

But one thing is certain, no matter who is chosen by Li Mu to play this role, for that actor, he has hit a super big luck! It will definitely make the male actors in the entire film and television industry envious...

Under Ning Hao's expectant gaze, Li Mu smiled and said, "Have you heard of an actor named Liu Ye?"

"Liu Ye?" Ning Hao frowned slightly: "I can't think of it, I don't have much impression."

As he said that, Ning Hao asked nervously: "Boss, are you looking for a newcomer to act in this play?"

Ning Hao didn't say the second half of the sentence. He felt that the Hollywood lineup in "Flying Tigers" was extremely strong. , The acting skills of Chinese actors are likely to be completely crushed by Hollywood actors.

Li Mu could see that his expression was a bit worried, and after careful thought, he knew what he was worried about, so he said, "Liu Ye is not a newcomer, he acted in "The Man That Mountain, That Dog" a few years ago, do you have any impression?"

"Oh, him!" Ning Hao nodded hastily, and said, "I know him, the one who plays,

Just can't remember the name. "

Ning Hao tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and said: "This young man's acting skills are still good, he can be regarded as top-notch among this wave of young actors, but he is still a little immature. Boss, look, Du Wei is very young, Huang Bohe Tang Wei is also very young, plus Liu Ye, how can he act opposite to other Hollywood actors, let alone Tom Hanks, Leonardo alone is enough to crush, when the time comes our side If the acting skills can't be suppressed, it will look a bit embarrassing."

Li Mu nodded: "That's a problem. Even if a young actor's acting skills pass the test, he must be much worse. Moreover, if he plays opposite a Hollywood actor, he will be suppressed in terms of momentum..."

Thinking of this, Li Mu said: "You can invite old actors like Chen Baoguo, Wang Zhiwen, and Chen Daoming to play the roles of military officers. The acting skills of the old actors are still very good. Let them go to play with Tom Han. As for the young actors, the film has a very long cycle, and they can only be forced to accelerate their growth during this period."

Ning Hao sighed softly, and asked him: "Boss, this is somewhat risky, don't you really consider actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan?"

Li Mu shook his head: "Don't think about it, let's not talk about anything else, just the accent is a big problem. This movie must be broadcast at the same time as the whole film. Who can do this? I don't want the Chinese Flying Tigers to take off and fight in the movie. Sometimes he speaks with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent..."

Ning Hao was stunned, and then said helplessly: "This is indeed a big problem. There are not many people who are suitable for this role, and if you want to speak Mandarin, there are really not many candidates."

Immediately, Ning Hao said again: "However, Liu Ye is not bad. If this kid can work hard to seize this opportunity and perform supernormally, I think it is OK. His acting skills, image, temperament, and voice are all relatively good. It meets the requirements of this role, the only thing is that it is almost too late."

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded, and said, "I can't find anyone more suitable than him for the time being, please make an appointment with him for me, if he is willing to play this role, I want him to talk to the current The brokerage company terminated the contract, and then signed to Makino Impression."

"Okay." Ning Hao said, "I'll find someone to contact him right now."

...

Liu Ye has had a very fulfilling life recently. For a young actor who has just graduated from school for a few years, the past few years can be said to be smooth sailing. He starred in "Lan Yu", and immediately won the Best Actor Award at the Golden Horse Awards. Last year, he acted in "Balzac and the Little Tailor", which was even shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards.

The three films have tempered Liu Ye's acting skills to a certain extent, but the more embarrassing point is that these three films are not commercial films, so his domestic popularity has not yet reached the height that a Golden Horse actor should have, but good He just took over the filming of the Haiyan drama "What Can I Take to Save You, My Love" directed by Zhao Baogang. The TV series is currently on the air. Although the movie is not popular, the TV series is indeed popular. This also makes him active and film appointments. Constantly, there is a great potential for a hit.

Liu Ye's agency called him to the company today and gave him a script. A well-known domestic photographer is going to change careers to become a director. He is going to make a literary film about educated youth, and he hopes he can play the male lead in it.

The brokerage company is actually not very interested in this movie. They just showed Liu Ye the script routinely to let him know in advance, but from the company's point of view, they still hope that he can take over a commercial movie. Movies are all routines of literary and artistic films, whether they are popular or not, some of the rambunctious things may not be liked by the general public. Originally, the company was worried that his image and positioning of literary and artistic films would affect his future development. Fortunately, a TV series made him finally a It became popular, so the company hoped that he would strike while the iron was hot and make a commercial film with big selling potential.

But Liu Ye himself really wants to take over the filming of this movie. Although he is a hardworking actor, he is not shrewd in judging the prospects. He just thinks the subject matter of this movie is quite deep, and he likes it. Role.

Seeing Liu Ye finished the script, Wang Lan, the agent, immediately decided to take over the filming, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Will the filming start in a while, don't rush to deal with it, the company wants to work on it for you recently. It’s a commercial film, I’ll give you a quick change of direction, if you keep acting in literary films, you won’t be able to get ahead in the film circle.”

The Huaxia film industry is far from being commercialized right now, and the box office market has very little space, but the more this is the case, the more it gives the agent a stronger sense of business, because if the market is good, you can get enough by just polishing your shoes Food, but if the industry is not good, and there is no ability to snatch food from a dog's mouth, then he will starve to death.

These days, the budgets of literary and artistic films are basically pitifully low, and the salaries of the leading actors are also frighteningly low. After working hard for several months, they get tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of pre-tax remuneration. To be honest, it is not enough for the company to worry about it. And the most important thing is that it is really far away to get ahead with this kind of movie.

Directors of many literary and artistic films usually raise millions of dollars in investment. They hope to send the film to an overseas film festival for an award, and then raise their own value. Most of the time, such a film may not even have a fucking theater. If you can get on, actors act in too many movies like this, and slowly ruin your own money.

Seeing the objection from his agent, Liu Ye smiled and said, "Anyway, there aren't any good commercial films to start shooting now. If this film can start in the first half of the year, it will be almost finished by the end of the year. Isn't it enough to start taking commercial films next year? "

Wang Lan sighed softly: "Yeah, there aren't any good commercial films coming out recently. The shooting of "Flying Tigers" is about to begin. This unprecedented blockbuster is here. No one in China dares to start shooting new films at the same time as him..."

Liu Ye also sighed with yearning: "It would be great if I could play a role in "Flying Tigers". If I could play a member of the Flying Tigers, as long as I show my face, I can fulfill my wish even without a single line!"

Wang Lan said with a smile: "Don't dream, I don't know how many people have sharpened their heads and wanted to play a role. We have nothing to do with Muye Yingxiang, so we must not play."

Liu Ye laughed at himself and said, "If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"
