Chapter 108 "If Love" Cast Confirmed, "Stealing Heart" Premiered (Seeking

Chapter 108 "If Love" cast confirmed, "Stealing Heart" premiered (first order requested!)

In Wu Yuan's office.

Zhang Guorong, who had finished the audition, handed several resumes to Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan took a closer look and a smile appeared on his face, "Are you sure you'll choose them?"

In his left hand was Chen Kun's resume, and in his right hand was Yan Kuan's resume.

Zhang Guorong really chose Yan Kuan at first sight and asked him to play the third male role originally played by Ji Zhenxi.

In terms of appearance, Yan Kuan, one of the four beauties in the world, is much more handsome than the male lead of "Dae Jang Geum".

What's more, the character of Monty in the movie was originally a "showing off" character.

In the movie, he is a gate that triggers memories, not a real person. He has transformed into a writer, driver, and waiter many times, waiting by the side of the confused protagonist.

Whenever his angelic face and gentle smile appear, the protagonists will wake up in their memories.

In a word, this character must be so handsome that the audience can understand why the protagonists wake up from their memories when his face appears.

Chen Kexin found a Korean actor who is not outstanding in appearance, which is indeed a bit lacking.

Wu Yuan is very satisfied with Zhang Guorong's choice.

Of course, he chose Chen Kun to play the male lead, which made Wu Yuan even more satisfied.

It can't be said that it was Zhang Guorong's choice, there was really no choice.

If Wu Yuan did not restrict to using only mainland actors, Zhang Guorong could find a lot of male actors suitable for playing Lin Jiandong.

But if it is restricted to the mainland, there are not many actors of the right age to choose from. If you have to choose one from the current 20-30-year-old male actors in the mainland, then Chen Kun is the most suitable.

Otherwise, Chen Kun would not have acted in five movies in the past two years.

Nowadays, as long as the project is established and preparations are started for the male protagonist under 30 years old, Chen Kun will be found first and the script will be handed to him.

People in the industry joke that for all the movies being filmed in the mainland, the male lead's script will first go through Chen Kun's hands. After he has selected it once, the rest will be given to other actors.

As for the female actresses, Zhou Xun is the one who has this treatment.

It's not that Gong Huang and Zhang Ziyi don't have this treatment, but the movies being filmed in the mainland are not worthy of their status now.

To put it bluntly, they can't afford to invite them to play the heroine.

Gong Huang and Zhang Ziyi are now actively contacting the Hong Kong circle and Hollywood, and they don't look down on the mainland's one-third acre of land.

Well, except Zhang Yimou and Wu Yuan.

Their movies can afford these two, and these two are eager to be in their movies.

Back to the topic.

Zhang Guorong decided to use Chen Kun to put together the golden pair of Zhou Xun + Chen Kun, and Wu Yuan was of course happy to see this.

"Mr. Zhang, is that it?"

Wu Yuan laughed: "You can choose other supporting roles yourself, and you don't need to review it for me."

"I won't be the producer of "If Love" this time. Our new movie should start shooting together, and I don't have time to help you produce."

Wu Yuan gave Zhang Guorong enough authority as a director in the crew. In addition to funding the script, he did not have any other instructions to Zhang Guorong.

This also made Zhang Guorong very happy, and he felt that signing with Light and Shadow Times was the right thing to do.

"Director Wu, don't worry, I will definitely make this movie well!" He promised Wu Yuan with a serious look and some expectation.

The casting of "If Love" lasted for three days. After Zhang Guorong decided that Hu Jun would play a film producer in the movie and Xu Qing would play Lin Jiandong's agent, the crew entered the formal preparation period.

However, before the filming of this movie started, Zhang Guorong's first directorial work "Stealing Hearts" was first released in mainland China and Hong Kong Island.

This movie, which can be regarded as the crystallization of Zhang Guorong's dream, has a gimmick of "Zhang Guorong's first film as a director". On the day of its release, it earned 1 million RMB in the mainland and 2 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island.

After the first day of release, some film critics also spontaneously published their own comments in newspapers.

As a debut film, "Stealing Hearts" is still very complete, and the theme of "love" is also the theme that the audience never tires of watching.

Maybe the plot is a bit bloody after 20 years.

But in this era when Qiong Yao dramas can be popular, "Stealing Hearts", a movie about two men and one woman who constantly misunderstand and miss each other, does not seem to be so bloody.

At least it is much better than movies such as "Dad's Love", "Echoes of Emotion" and "Beautiful Heart Knot" released at the same time.

A week after the movie was released, "Stealing Hearts" earned 8 million RMB in the mainland and broke 12 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island.

And the reputation is not bad. Whether in the mainland or Hong Kong Island, most film critics and industry insiders believe that Zhang Guorong's transformation debut is a success.

The Sunglass King even publicly accepted an interview with Ming Pao, praising Zhang Guorong's "Stealing Hearts" for its mature shooting, which did not look like a work by a new director at all.

In the interview, he did not hesitate to praise Zhang Guorong and believed that Zhang Guorong was expected to become a leading figure among the next generation of directors in Hong Kong Island.

Of course, he did not mention a word about the mainland capital of this film and the producer Wu Yuan.

Several mainland leading actors were also deliberately ignored by him, and the entire interview was only about Zhang Guorong.

Mr. Han was very unhappy when he saw the relevant news reprinted in the mainland. Does the Sunglass King only have Zhang Guorong in his eyes?

Immediately, he ordered his publicity department to go all out, and many large mainland newspapers wrote various publicity articles about the leading actors of "Stealing Hearts" and Wu Yuan.

Today, they praised Ning Jing and Hu Jun for their good acting skills, tomorrow they praised Wu Yuan as the producer for his dedication, and the day after tomorrow they praised China Film for its wisdom in identifying heroes. In short, the success of "Stealing Hearts" and Zhang Guorong is the result of the efforts of everyone in the crew, and everyone has contributed.

In this way, the media in Hong Kong Island and the media in the mainland have fought against each other. For more than a week, "Stealing Hearts" has dominated the headlines of newspapers in both places.

This has made the film's reputation rise steadily, and it has also promoted the continued growth of box office results!

However, Wu Yuan didn't care about these. He just paid a little attention to the movie when it was released, and then he threw himself into the performance of the drama "Romeo and Juliet".

Wu Yuan's first year of doctoral studies is about to end, and his drama will be performed for teachers in the directing department at the end of June.

Although Wu Yuan thought he had rehearsed the play very well and the actors were trained to the best state by him.

But as the "exam" was approaching, he was somewhat anxious and arranged more frequent rehearsals for the actors.

It had to be frequent, as his schedule was very tight.

After the performance of "Romeo and Juliet" here, Wu Yuan would fly to the United States to attend the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and stay in the United States for at least half a month to accept various interviews.

After that, he would rush back to China without stopping to officially start the location scouting, casting and filming of "Your Name".

Wu Yuan, who had been idle for half a year, fell into busyness again.
