Chapter 104 Audition, Cai Yinong
Chen Kun will play the male lead of "If Love"?
Thinking of his friend, Wu Yuan's eyes lit up.
At this point in time, it is not easy to find a mainland male actor who is not much inferior to Takeshi Kaneshiro in age, temperament and appearance.
The two mainland young male actors who are more popular and handsome now are Chen Kun who plays movies and Lu Yi who plays TV series.
One is very popular in the film industry, and has received many movies and is very popular. The other is very popular in the TV industry and is obsessed with thousands of girls.
In comparison, Chen Kun's image is more suitable for the male lead of "If Love", and his acting skills are better than Lu Yi, who can only play idol dramas now.
The handsome Jin is indeed handsome, but our factory flower is not much inferior!
Since they are going to pry Zhou Xun, prying one is prying, and prying two is also prying. Zhou Xun, the female lead, has a liquidated damages of more than 200,000 yuan. How much higher can the liquidated damages of Chen Kun, the male second, be?
However, Wu Yuan cannot decide this matter alone, and he can't even openly push Zhang Guorong into the role.
Wu Yuan decided on Zhou Xun, the heroine. If he intervenes in the role of the hero, it would be too disrespectful to Zhang Guorong.
Since Zhang Guorong is the director, he should still make the decision on casting.
Even if Wu Yuan is an investor, you can push people, but only one or two people at most. It is not reasonable for you to decide on all the actors.
"Let's do this. Let Brother Kun prepare. Guorong will hold an audition in a few days. Let him try it out then."
Wu Yuan said on the phone: "I believe that he can definitely impress Guorong with his strength and appearance.
"Don't worry about the breach of contract. The crew will help you pay the penalty."
Wu Yuan still thinks that as long as Chen Kun participates in the audition, he should be the most likely to get the role. Who says he is handsome?
"Okay, I will talk to Kun'er. "Zhou Xun readily agreed.
If the two of them can continue to partner in "If Love", Zhou Xun will be more confident in making this movie.
After all, they have partnered many times before, and they have rich experience in acting together, and they can play a better performance effect together.
Chen Kun, who received the news, although he has not seen the script of "If Love", but he trusts Wu Yuan and Zhou Xun very much. They asked him to try this play, so he has no reason to refuse.
And Zhang Guorong's actions were also very fast.
On May 15, he notified Wu Yuan that he had sent audition invitations to most of the suitable actors and would audition in two days.
This audition will select the two actors, the male lead Lin Jiandong and the male third Monty.
As for the circus and magic in the script Actors from the Capital Song and Dance Troupe can be directly invited from the Capital Song and Dance Troupe and the Hong Kong Island Circus.
Zhang Guorong's brand, at least as a director, is not very famous.
But the brand of "screenwriter Wu Yuan" is really useful.
Most of the actors who received the audition invitation were a little hesitant when they saw that the director was Zhang Guorong, but when they saw that the screenwriter of this movie was Wu Yuan, they immediately agreed to come to the audition.
What a joke, this is the script written by Wu Yuan!
Even if the director is a newcomer, they will come to audition!
For nothing else, it is worth it to be able to get in touch with Wu Yuan even if it is a bad movie!
On the other side of the ocean, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has begun pre-promotion, and the first version of the trailer has been edited and released on the Internet.
At the beginning of the trailer, there is a big "yuan Wu's work"!
In addition, Disney also allocated a lot of publicity resources to Wu Yuan during the promotion.
When it comes to the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean", in addition to the fantasy, adventure, pirate and other elements in the film content, the only two people who can be singled out to create topics are Johnny Depp and Wu Yuan.
The elf prince Orlando counts as half.
Johnny Depp and Wu Yuan are both Oscar-level, and Disney must grab them to create topics.
For example:
"Berlin's best director's first fantasy adventure blockbuster!"
"Director Wu Yuan's another masterpiece after "Juno"! "
"The youngest North American 200 million box office director is making another move!"
"Johnny Depp joins hands with Berlin's youngest best director in history to bring a new series of blockbusters! "
There are a lot of such press releases in North America.
In these press releases, Wu Yuan is almost touted as the best, most successful, and top director of the younger generation, a world-class director.
Oh, no, he is really the most successful and best director under the age of 30, and the people who write these promotional press releases are very confident.
And all kinds of people in the domestic entertainment industry are closely following Hollywood. They receive news about Wu Yuan on the other side of the ocean faster than he does.
Just because of Wu Yuan's current popularity and status in Hollywood, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" that will be released worldwide soon, the domestic entertainment industry has been very interested in him. How could these actors refuse an audition invitation for a script written by him?
On May 18, all the actors who received the audition invitation gathered on time at the office building of Light and Shadow Times in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
Even some actors who did not receive the audition invitation but heard about it took the initiative to come and try to get a chance.
When Wu Yuan and Zhang Guorong arrived at the company, they saw the actors and their agents filling the two reception rooms of the company.
Lu Yi, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Hu Jun, Xia Yu, Li Yapeng, Huang Xiaoming, Bao Jianfeng, Jiao Enjun, Nie Yuan, Yan Kuan...
All the well-known male actors on the big and small screens came.
"Eh" Wu Yuan, who was looking at the auditioning actors through the window, suddenly saw two figures that seemed not to be here.
"Aren't those Hu Ge and Yuan Hong?" Wu Yuan looked at the two young and immature actors sitting in the corner of the reception room and felt a little strange.
Wu Yuan pointed at Hu Ge and asked Zhang Guorong: "Guorong, have you sent audition invitations to those two actors?"
Zhang Guorong took a closer look and replied with a smile: "Oh, they are actors recommended by a company called Tangren Film and Television. I think they are handsome in the photos, so let them try Monty."
"Use newcomers?" Wu Yuan was a little surprised. Zhang Guorong was bolder than him.
Now Hu Ge and Yuan Hong are only sophomores and juniors. I don't know if they have ever filmed a movie.
He didn't dare to use newcomers so boldly in his second movie. Now he is shooting his fifth movie and he is planning to train new actors.
"It's just the third male lead, a newcomer can also match it." Zhang Guorong didn't think he was so bold.
"Besides, it's not certain whether they can choose him."
Because the glass on this side of the reception room is one-way, Zhang Guorong also imitated Wu Yuan and pointed to an actor in the reception room and said: "The one called Yan Kuan looks the same as the two actors sent by Tangren."
"And he is more handsome, I am more optimistic about him to play Monty."
Reasonable!
Wu Yuan nodded in agreement.
Yan Kuan, Hu Ge, and Yuan Hong are almost the same type of appearance, all of them are the type with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and three-dimensional and deep facial features.
Compared with the still immature Hu Ge and Yuan Hong, Yan Kuan, who is at the peak of his appearance, is indeed more handsome.
But immaturity also has its advantages!
Wu Yuan's eyes fell on Hu Ge, and his heart became lively.
This kid seems to be more suitable than Zhu Yawen to play the male lead of "Your Name".
Thinking of this, he looked at Cai Yinong standing behind Hu Ge and Yuan Hong. The boss of Tangren Film and Television was here too?
Did she think highly of these two newcomers, or did she think highly of Zhang Guorong's film, so she personally brought people to audition?
Speaking of which, making TV series is really profitable now
Wu Yuan touched his chin and thought for a while, then turned to the staff responsible for entertaining these artists and stars and said, "Please invite Mr. Cai from Tangren Film and Television to my office later."
"I want to talk to her about something."
