Chapter 552 What? Let Mars Fly? Worthy of a Best Actress Nomination, Fake Drama Becomes Real, Honey Shows Off Love!
Since he had come to visit the set of "The Murderer", he could not miss "Hidden in the Dust".
After leaving Hengdian, Chen Fei and Ning Hao said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.
Ning Hao had to go back to the capital to follow up on the post-production of "The Tomb of the Ghost Blowing Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue". This movie was too important and he was really worried about handing it over to others.
Chen Fei took a plane and went straight to the crew of "Hidden in the Dust".
After landing at the airport, he contacted the crew and then embarked on a difficult journey.
First by car, then by donkey cart, and finally by motorcycle...
After a lot of trouble, he finally arrived at the crew of "Hidden in the Dust" which was being filmed in a small mountain village, and met Shen Ao, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Yan Ni and others.
"Wow? Why are they all so tanned?"
Looking at the dark-skinned people in front of him, Chen Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes and almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.
Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed and asked, "After all, he plays a farmer. Have you ever seen a farmer who works in the fields all day with delicate skin and tender flesh?"
"That's true."
Fade Chen reacted quickly, his eyes stayed on Yan Ni for a moment, and quickly gave a high evaluation: "Based on your current skin color, you are definitely worthy of a nomination for Best Actress."
Hearing this, Yan Ni's eyes lit up immediately.
This guy can also take a joke, and immediately agreed: "That's what you said! If there is no nomination for Best Actress, I will expose you to the media for fooling people."
For a while, everyone was laughing.
Afterwards, Fei Chen followed Tian Zhuangzhuang to visit the current filming location of the crew.
It's really poor!
It can't even afford to build a road, which shows how remote and poor this place is.
Fade Chen vaguely remembered that not long after watching the movie "Hidden in the Dust" in his previous life, the movie was completely removed from the shelves.
Netizens said that capital could not accommodate this movie, but he could not figure out why it could not accommodate it.
After entering the film and television industry in this life, he recalled the content of this movie again, and suddenly he had a deeper understanding.
Social background and environment, suffering, humbleness, dependence, fate, fetters, helplessness...
This story is unfortunate, the characters are suffering, and the ending is also sad.
This is reality, but it is also a reality that many people are unwilling to bear, unwilling to see, and unwilling to show.
Everyone was walking in the fields. At this time, Shen Ao suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the distance: "Director Chen, look, there is a river here."
Chen Fei was slightly startled and walked forward in the direction of his finger.
The stream flows, ding-dong-dong, crisp and pleasant, and the sound of frogs rings.
This is the mother river on which the entire village depends for survival, it is their hope, but it is the final destination of "Cao Guiying".
The crew still has scenes in the afternoon, so everyone quickly returned to the set.
After re-makeup, Tian Zhuangzhuang quickly got into the state, and his temperament perfectly fit the role of "Ma Youtie".
The same is true for Yan Ni on the other side.
These are two people who have experienced all kinds of hardships. One is regarded as a farmhand by his brother and sister-in-law, and the other is regarded as a pig and dog by his brother and sister-in-law.
Chen Fei watched on the set for an afternoon and became more and more satisfied with Yan Ni.
The abuse from childhood to adulthood and the inhuman living environment have left him disabled, infertile, often incontinent, unable to take care of himself, and numb and dead in his heart...
Yan Ni showed the deadness in Cao Guiying's eyes very vividly, as if the living thing was just a broken body.
And Tian Zhuangzhuang's performance is even better!
He was like a pool of calm dead water, as if there would never be ripples, until Cao Guiying arrived...
Before leaving the crew, Chen Fei found Shen Ao and told him: "After the filming of this film is completed, you should consult Teacher Tian more in the post-production stage.
After the post-production is completed, I will contact someone to help you send this film to the Berlin Film Festival for review."
Send it to Berlin?
Shen Ao was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked: "Go for awards?"
"Yes!" Chen Fei nodded seriously: "There is a great hope of winning, shoot well, don't let this story be buried."
Hearing this, Shen Ao couldn't hide his excitement and quickly assured: "Director Chen, don't worry, I will never let you down, I will definitely shoot it well!"
"Okay."
Chen Fei patted his shoulder, turned around and got on the motorcycle that the crew rode over, and headed straight to the town 30 kilometers away.
This place, transportation is a big pain point!
...
After arriving at the filming location of "The Martian", it was already three days later.
The two crews were more remote than each other, and Chen Fei almost vomited from sitting in the car!
Guo Fan was extremely excited about his arrival, as if he had seen a savior.
"Director Chen! You are finally here! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Why are you waiting for me? What? Is there a problem with the crew's preparation? Or is there a problem with the construction of the shooting location in Hongya?"
"Neither." Guo Fan shook his head and led him to the built shooting scene, saying: "It's mainly a problem with the actors. Casting is too troublesome."
"The Martian" can almost be said to be a one-man show of the male protagonist. In view of the age requirements of astronauts, Guo Fan set an age threshold when adapting the script.
The male protagonist is required to be between 30 and 45 years old, with a strong physique and the ability to endure hardships...
In fact, he had already thought about which actors to send audition invitations to when the script was approved.
The adapted story no longer had those shady things.
The ground space agency monitoring center was already thinking about how to rescue the protagonist as soon as it found out that the protagonist was alive.
The story removed some inappropriate dark sides, and the plot was completely centered around the hero's self-rescue and rescue.
The six-member Mars team, divided into four men and two women, is the main creative team.
As for the remaining Earth part, although there are more actors, they have fewer roles.
And now, what gives Guo Fan the most headache is the choice of the six-member Mars team and the male lead.
The Earth part is easy to say, Feiyinghuang Agency has so many contracted artists, it is enough to pull them all over.
But the choice of the leading team is really troublesome. During this period, his mailbox was almost flooded with various resumes, which really dazzled him.
"Give me the preliminary list of actors first, let me take a look."
"Okay, let's go to my office."
Guo Fan led Chen Fei straight to the office.
After getting the list, Chen Fei first glanced at it.
Hu Jun, Zhang Hanyu, Liu Ye, Jiang Wen, Liu Dehua, Wu Jing...
Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Sun Honglei, Fan Bingbin, Li Bingbin, Zhang Ziyi...
Looking around, almost all of them are first-line celebrities in the circle, and the second-line actors in the list are very rare, almost equivalent to none.
For this situation, Chen Fei can understand it.
With a huge investment of several hundred million, you have to find some big-name stars, at least they have to be well-known.
After scanning the candidates for the protagonist team, Chen Fei moved his eyes down and fixed on the team selection on the earth side.
"For a role like Chen Baoguo, you don't even need an audition, just decide on it directly."
This actor is a well-known veteran actor in the circle, and his temperament is also very decent. He is at least a department-level cadre when he sits there. It is perfect for him to play the role of the director of the Space Administration, which is like a "stabilizing force".
"Okay." Guo Fan agreed without thinking.
"Huang Xiaoming... You can give him an astronaut role. He is of the right age and has a good temperament. It conforms to the aesthetics of the Chinese people. He will definitely not be much different in a space suit or military uniform."
"Okay." Guo Fan nodded again, but then added: "He called me specifically to get a role with weight for his girlfriend Yang Ying."
There are two main female roles in "The Martian". One is the captain of the Mars team, which requires a very high temperament of the actor and the aura of a big sister.
The other is a system operator, which is not very demanding. There are no special fixed restrictions on age and acting skills.
But it is definitely not okay to give it to Yang Ying!
This woman will only ruin this role!
Chen Fei shook his head and said, "Forget about her. I'll give you a phone number later. You can contact her and ask her to play the role of the system operator."
"Oh?" Guo Fan's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Who is it?"
"Zhao Liying."
"Your Name" is about to be released. As the second female lead in the movie, Zhao Liying will definitely become a big hit if nothing unexpected happens!
Let her play a role in "The Martian" at that time. Not to mention the impact on the first line, it will definitely be no problem to stabilize in the ranks of second-line actors.
"Okay, I will contact her."
All of them are artists within the company. If there is a suitable role, it is natural to let their own people play it. There is no reason to give it to outsiders.
What's more, this outsider is Yang Ying!
...
"Zhang Yi, Liu Ye, Wu Jing are all our own people. You can arrange it as you see fit."
"Then just play the astronaut directly. Their image and temperament are also suitable."
The two chatted for a long time and soon determined the main cast team.
First, focus on our own people. If there is really no suitable candidate, then look for someone outside.
Under such operation, the casting of actors will naturally be much smoother!
"Now only the male and female protagonists have not been determined." Guo Fan secretly glanced at Chen Fei who was thinking seriously, and suddenly said: "Director Chen, how about... you and Yifei play the roles."
After that, he did not wait for Chen Fei to refuse, and explained very quickly: "After all, our movie is going to be released globally, and the international reputation of the actors must be high enough.
Just like the previous "Gravity", if you were not the male lead, I am afraid it would not have achieved such excellent results abroad.
It just so happens that your image and temperament are suitable, let's try not to let the fat water flow to the fields of outsiders..."
Guo Fan's remarks directly made Chen Fei fall into deep thought.
With an investment of up to 700 million yuan, once there is a mistake, although it will not cause serious damage, it will indeed cause a lot of impact.
In terms of popularity abroad, except for him and Liu Yifei, other Chinese actors are indeed a little inferior.
As for the global cinema market, the box office appeal of people like Hu Jun and Zhang Hanyu is almost non-existent.
If they were to star in the film, then the only route they could take was to sell copyrights abroad, and they would not be able to launch a global distribution plan at all.
As for Jiang Wen... he should just forget it.
Neither of them wanted to see "The Martian" become "Let Mars Fly".
However, after pondering for a moment, Chen Fei did not immediately accept the role of the male protagonist, but responded: "Let me think about it first. If I am asked to play the male protagonist, I have to consider schedule factors.
You contact other people first, and after all the other roles are finalized, let's consider the candidates for the male protagonist and female protagonist. "
"Okay, no problem, I'll do it right away."
The smile on Guo Fan's face did not diminish. As long as Chen Fei did not explicitly refuse, it meant that he still had a chance to fight for it.
He planned to contact Liu Yifei first and push forward the matter from the side.
When the "pillow wind" blows, why don't you grab it with your hands?
Guo Fan doesn't know or understand what other netizens and media think, but in his opinion, these two people are definitely "unclean"!
If there is no special relationship, how could the "flying girl" always be Liu Yifei and not someone else?
Wang Luojue, a generation of flying girls, has now returned to China, but Liu Yifei is flying higher and higher with the help of Chen Fei, and now she is firmly among the top domestic female stars...
If they had nothing to do with each other, Guo Fan would even write their names upside down!
In his opinion, even if the two people officially announced that they were engaged one day, it would not be a surprise.
Isn't this normal? Is that reasonable?
…
After leaving the crew of "The Martian", Chen Fei once again returned to the promotion of "Your Name".
He didn't attend the premiere of "Tai Chi 1" at all.
What's so good about this kind of movie? If you have time, you might as well go on a few more variety shows to promote the movie.
With the popularity of "Anti-Corruption Storm 2", the battle for the box office in August has completely begun, and major film producers can be said to be "frequently making strange moves."
[Fake drama becomes real, Miwei shows love! 】
When Chen Fei saw this title on the entertainment network headlines, he was stunned.
what's going on?
Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei are now together? Isn’t this year just 2012? Why did the two announce their relationship?
Is it too early? Is it another butterfly effect caused by my own arrival?
With a lot of confusion, Chen Fei clicked on the title curiously and briefly browsed the contents.
He quickly realized that this should be a movie promotion strategy.
"Imitating Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting?"
Chen Fei curled his lips and instantly lost interest in this news.
It is common for celebrities to speculate on scandals and promote movies. For fans, this may be a major event worthy of attention.
For those in the industry, there is no need to waste time paying attention to this kind of news.
…
When she received the call from Guo Fan, Zhao Liying was stunned for a long time before she realized what she was doing.
"The Martian", an investment of 700 million, the second female lead, who has lines, and her acting role is second only to the lead female lead...
She knew each of these words individually, but when they were combined and applied to herself, Zhao Liying only felt strange.
Since leaving Huayi, she first acted in "Your Name", then went to play the third female lead in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City", and then received an invitation from the crew of "The Martian"...
What is the difference between this and soaring into the sky?
She thought for a long time and quickly came to a conclusion.
I can't leave Feiyinghuang Agency in this life, even if I die, I have to die here!
If your brain gets hot and you turn around and leave, where can you find so many high-quality movie resources?
This horse riding is all a movie resource, not a supporting role in a TV series!
If she continues to stay at Huayi, she may not be able to act in a movie if she is given another ten years, let alone such a second female role!
…
"Mimi, "Love in Seattle" is scheduled to be released!"
A piece of news suddenly brought by Zeng Jia made Yang Mi overjoyed.
During this period, the hype between her and Liu Kaiwei attracted a lot of attention and traffic to her, and the effect couldn't be better!
And now, with the good news coming from "Love in Seattle", it is simply a double happiness!
"How much has the pre-sale box office of "HOLD Live in Love" reached?"
"It has reached 18 million, and it is estimated that it will exceed 20 million soon."
Zeng Jia couldn't hide her excitement. If the popularity can continue, this "HOLD Live Love" is likely to wash away the negative impact caused by "Wu-Tang".
As an agent, she can naturally profit from it.
At this time, Yang Mi suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, didn't the company issue an announcement internally? It said that the casting of "The Martian" with an investment of 700 million yuan has begun. Please hand over my resume. Yet?"
"Well, I've already handed it over."
Mentioning this matter, the excitement on Zeng Jia's face dissipated a lot, and she frowned slightly and said: "But according to the news I heard, the role of the 'female system operator' has been confirmed to be played by Zhao Liying. This is her role." The agent disclosed it to the public.”
Hearing this, the smile and expectation on Yang Mi's face disappeared instantly: "Where is the female lead? Are you sure?"
Zeng Jia shook his head: "No news has spread yet."
She added: "By the way, there is another thing. Mr. Huo called me this morning and wanted to know what your next work arrangements are."
Yang Mi understood the meaning of this sentence.
Her agency contract is about to expire, and Huo Wenxi just wants to find out whether she wants to renew the contract with Feiyinghuang Agency?
After thinking for a moment, she lowered her head and condensed her eyes, and slowly said: "Renewal is OK, but I want to play the leading role in "The Martian."
This is her condition.
As her agent, Zeng Jia naturally chose to lean towards her side.
"Okay, I will reply to the company. Your request is very reasonable. We are definitely worthy of a big investment leading role."
Zeng Jia is very confident.
"The Four 2", "HOLD Love", "Love in Seattle" and other upcoming movies have given her sufficient confidence in negotiations.
At the same time, after watching Zeng Jia leave, Yang Mi turned on her mobile phone, logged into WeChat, and found Guo Jingming's contact information.
There was a new message from Guo Jingming in the dialog box.
"As long as you agree to play the role of 'Lin Xiao', you can get a share of the film investment and enjoy a share of the box office."
Yang Mi smiled with satisfaction, stretched out her slender fingers, and typed: "Okay! Wait for my news!"
This is another path she prepared for herself.
Although the early stage may be bumpy, if you can persist, the future will definitely be a smooth road!
She is very confident!
