Chapter 1946 Competition for Roles!

Starting in April, the awards season in North America generally comes to an end.

The working conditions of North American film and television people will soon be stepped up.

They will work hard to catch up with the summer schedule.

At first glance, it may seem strange. Can this summer blockbuster movie be completed in such a short time?

Of course!

Don’t forget, most of the current summer blockbusters are not special effects blockbusters, so the production cycle can usually be completed in 5 months. With publicity and promotion, half a year is more than enough.

Unlike the special effects blockbusters of later generations, where the production cycle starts at least one year, many movies take half a year or even a year just to produce the special effects.

So don’t forget that there is a long gap between watching the first, second and third parts of "Avengers". In fact, it basically takes half a year to start preparations, and then it takes about a year and a half to produce, and then it starts to be released.

In fact, the time is quite short.

Before "Titanic" came out in the 1990s, Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" took the longest time to produce, taking two years from preparation to release.

But this was because the dinosaur models he needed were too difficult to produce. It took more than two years to prepare and produce in the digital field, longer than the production cycle of the entire movie.

It was also because of such excellence that "Jurassic Park" became the number one box office movie in those years, and it was not broken until "Titanic".

However, in this era, there is actually another kind of movie whose production cycle is not too long, and the attention and achievements it can achieve are no less than those of these special effects movies.

These are the biopics that stand out.

The most famous among them is of course "Forrest Gump", which almost reached US$700 million in global box office.

This 1994 work, if calculated based on the purchasing power at the time, is equivalent to a box office of US$3 billion in 2020.

real.

No exaggeration at all.

Being able to win the love of so many people as a literary film and directly showing it at the box office, it is no wonder that "Forrest Gump" will be recorded in history.

Moreover, the derivative value of "Forrest Gump" does not stop there.

According to statistics, the books, video tapes, DVDs, TV copyrights, various authorized products, etc. of "Forrest Gump" together have brought a total net profit of more than 600 million US dollars to the production copyright owner in 20 years!

Pure profit! !

How shocking is it that one movie can bring in more than 1 billion US dollars in net profit?

People definitely don't know this now, but this does not prevent filmmakers from all over the world from focusing on the movie "Forrest Gump".

Yes.

Now that the newspaper has revealed that two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks is already actively preparing for the role of Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump", will the filming of "Forrest Gump" be far away?

According to Yin Jun's filming habits in recent years, maybe he will start in June or July this year!

In the previous two years of "The Shawshank Redemption", "Rain Man", and "The Pianist", most of the characters were actors contracted internally by the Qilin Group, or foreign actors, or superstars from the United States. In fact, there is no chance to join.

At first they didn't care.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is amazing, but it's just a movie.

But with the release of "Rain Man" and "The Pianist", he won the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Film twice in a row, and even won an Oscar for Best Director for Yin Jun. So meaningful It's completely different.

Being able to be included in Yin Jun's movies seems to be the standard for important actors and even superstars.

What's more, this is "Forrest Gump"!

"Forrest Gump" represents the youth and memories of a generation of people across the United States!

If you can play a role here, you will be able to carve your name in this era!

How would you describe the current situation and the mood of American and American actors now?

This is equivalent to the fact that when the third and fourth installments of "Harry Potter" were filmed, its status in the minds of all British actors was the same - if I didn't play a role in it, would I still be a British actor?

As a result, many agents suddenly poured in at the door of United Artists Film Company, which was responsible for production and distribution.

A group of people who were more capable made calls to the top management of United Artists Films, Shirley Lansing, and even Shi Shaoming.

They all have only one purpose.

Throw in your own actors!

With Hollywood's biggest tycoon, the best director, and two-time Hollywood Oscar winner in charge, a movie like this is definitely admirable!

Even if he plays a small role, his net worth will jump up a level because of his appearance in "Forrest Gump".

yes!

Think about it, when others look at an actor's resume and see that he or she can actually work with an Oscar-winning director and an Oscar-winning actor at the same time, and in a film like "Forrest Gump", then this Can actors not be prioritized?

Don't think that Hollywood is full of human relationships and hidden rules. Anyone who wants to make money is not stupid!

They know better than anyone else what can be done casually and what must be taken seriously in a movie. Without a few veteran actors and powerful actors, just a group of handsome men and beauties want to sell good box office?

hehe!

Hahaha!

Just three days later, because she received too many calls, Shirley Lansing simply left her cell phone at home and did not answer any calls from the office. All calls were relayed by her secretary.

As the director of the film business department of the North American branch of Kirin Group, no one would bother Shirley Lansing about a role on weekdays, but "Forrest Gump" is really different. Those agents are the agents of giants and superstars. , and had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to talk to Shirley Lansing about this matter.

But Shirley Lansing is very smart.

This is a movie made by Yin Jun himself. From the previous movies, we know that ordinary actors are selected by the company, and he makes the final decision, which is okay.

But if it is a main actor, Yin Jun himself decides who he wants to star in, and is not affected by others at all.

Spielberg and George Lucas may make some concessions, but Yin Jun is not just a director. He is the famous Hollywood tycoon and the boss of Shirley Lansing. How could Shirley Lansing mess with it? Angry boss?

She has yet to count the roles she can arrange and the extent to which she can do favors.

But another person, the executive manager of the studio, Shi Shaoming, who is from Xiangjiang, can probably know.

Because Shi Shaoming was basically responsible for all the work except Yin Jun's filming, including casting.

This time, what characters can be used as favors in "Forrest Gump"? Now that Tom Hanks has begun training and experience, Shi Shaoming must have gotten a rough plan and knows where the bottom line is.

Although many people called Shi Shaoming in North America with the attitude of giving it a try, Shirley Lansing knew that they completely ignored Shi Shaoming's role.

But she would never tell anyone else this.

Shirley Lansing definitely wants to maximize her own interests.

That night, Shirley Lansing invited Shi Shaoming to dinner.

Shi Shaoming is Yin Jun's confidant. As long as it is Yin Jun's movie, he will definitely be the on-site manager and director, responsible for all matters, big and small. Even Tom Hanks is polite to him.

Not to mention some other young actors, Shi Shaoming can basically decide their life or death with just one word.

It is also because of this that Shi Shaoming is known to many people, and people from big brokerage companies want to deal with him.

But Shi Shaoming would never attend these people's cocktail parties.

It's not that he has no interest in the North American film industry, but he knows his identity and how much Yin Jun values ​​him.

Relying on the fate of the two of them being rich and humble, as long as Shi Shaoming doesn't commit suicide, Yin Jun will definitely give him a prominent position.

Now it's just Yin Jun honing his abilities.

If he loses future opportunities because he accepts benefits from others, Shi Shaoming will regret it for the rest of his life.

Shi Shaoming's ambition is not too strong, otherwise after the collapse of Jiashi in his previous life, he would not have quit the film and television industry and lived an ordinary life.

But he has reached his current position in this life, and of course he is not willing to remain ordinary.

Keep going and continue to create your own glory, that is what Shi Shaoming is willing to do.

With such a goal, how could he covet the benefits of others?

Moreover, in terms of money, Shi Shaoming has received dividends from movies every time. Although it is not a lot, over the past three years, he has also received tens of millions of dollars in dividends, and then all of them were used by him to buy a house, and the rent was enough for him. I have lived happily with my family all my life.

When people are short of money, they will definitely be extremely eager for money, but when the money they have reaches a certain level, money is really not something that must be considered in life.

If it is a beautiful woman...

Ahem, it’s not Shi Shaoming who is laughing at Yin Jun. Beauties like Sophie Marceau and Ye Linqinwa, although they look good, they might be covered in hair if they take off their clothes. I really don’t know how Jun Jun has such a taste. Heavy.

Shi Shaoming would definitely have fun outside, but his favorites were of course Chinese. Even Japanese and Korean girls were good. What was so good about European and American women?

And it also smells bad!

Therefore, when Shi Shaoming is not tempted by both money and beauty, there is really no one who can establish a good relationship with him.

Although Yin Jun's movie will only start shooting in June, Shi Shaoming and the others have not returned to Hong Kong since the Oscars. Instead, they have stayed in the United States to do the preliminary preparations for "Forrest Gump".

Of course, those who are worthy of Shi Shaoming's trust and entrusted with important tasks are the old foundation he brought from Xiangjiang.

As for the selection of roles, Shi Shaoming has been making selections and has not yet made a specific decision.

Unexpectedly, Shirley Lansing’s invitation came at this time.
