Chapter 499 "Myth" Casting

Chapter 499 "Myth" Casting...

When "1942" was released, a lot of people said that the film had discredited the Democratic Party!

It's really ridiculous. A party that is notorious for corruption and has lost everything in the country in three and a half years is still smearing?

When you make "1942," you must record the government at that time.

This movie is really underrated!

There were a lot of criticisms at that time, and the loudest one was 'Why not make 1962?'

Now, the Douban score has risen to 8.1 points, and Feng Xiaogang's films are among the top three in word-of-mouth...

Probably because the audience has changed!

The significance of suffering being presented, especially when it is always obscured; they probably also know that people should keep their eyes on suffering, no matter good or bad years, it is a reminder.

But it is definitely not as good as "Alive" and "Farewell My Concubine" - "1942" attempts to collect clues through the experiences of the old employer and his family's escape, the attitude of the high-level government, the Japanese people's wooing methods, and the conscience reporting of American journalists. It has become an epic masterpiece, but obviously Director Feng does not have this ability. It is like a blind man touching an elephant, which makes people feel very messy and complicated. After watching it, I don’t know what is going on.

What Shen Xudong said I will invest...

In fact, they were just polite words - Huayi would never give up on Feng Xiaogang and would never allow other investors to get involved in Feng Xiaogang's movies...

Even if Shen Xudong talks about investing, he will not actually take the money!

…

Zhao Liying won the championship and signed a contract with Huayi as promised before the competition, and then filmed a commercial "Kneeling Clan"...

But... after arriving in Beijing, I found that the company I signed with became Tianmei Media...

And the company directly put her into the Chinese opera training class.

Of course, I helped her rent a house and gave her 4,000 yuan a month for living expenses...

It’s obvious that the company wants to train her!

But she still doesn’t quite understand—it’s clear that “Yahoo Star Search” is talking about signing a contract with Huayi Brothers.

never mind!

As long as you can make money, which company should you sign with?

By the way, the one who lives with her is Zhang Hanyun, and the Zhang Hanyun who sings Sweet and Sour is mine...

Both of them are contracted artists of Tianmei Media, and they both need to improve.

The point is... neither of them have a house in the capital!

Not really... Zhang Hanyun pooled the money she had saved over the years to buy a house and pay the mortgage every month...

They are the same age and have a good relationship.

The two of them are going to go to China Theater together to see what the school will be like in the next two years!

In fact, Zhao Liying initially thought that the company would send her records...

After all, she felt that if she won the championship in "Yahoo Star Search", she would rely on singing!

Zhang Hanyun shook her head: "Records don't make money now. If the company releases records, it's impossible to make money. My previous company always lost money by releasing records to artists... Because if you don't release records, you have no exposure. Without exposure, you lose. Opportunities to make money, such as advertising or commercial performances..."

"You're so famous that you can't even get commercials and acting roles?"

"Commercial performances don't mean that if you offer a low price, there will be a market. Between 30,000 and 50,000, most people choose 50,000 and don't even consider the 30,000 option!"

"Ah...why can't I make money by releasing records?"

"Who doesn't have MP3 nowadays? Why should we buy records when we can download them directly from the Internet?"

Zhao Liying touched her MP3 player...

really!

I used to buy pirated tapes, but after MP3 came out, I didn’t even bother to buy pirated copies!

The two talked about other things, such as "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" with a box office of over 200 million, "Mission: Impossible 3" is quite good, and by the way, Shen Xudong went to the United States...

In about half an hour, we arrived at Dongmianhua Hutong.

Cramped, very small…

When we arrived at the entrance of the Central Theater, to be honest, I was... surprised.

They both thought they had made a mistake!

I stared at the school's front door for a long time. The open brown ink door had ancient eaves on the top, lacquered pillars on both sides with signs hanging on them, and two little lions squatting at the door.

This facade really looks like a landlord’s compound!

Looking inside from outside the door, I can't see the whole picture. It looks like a secretive house in ancient times, and it seems very small. As a result, when I stepped inside the door... it was still very small.

After walking around, Zhao Liying came to the conclusion: "The area is not as big as our technical secondary school over there!"

"...I heard that a new campus is being built in Changping..."

"Then where do we go to school?"

"I heard from Sister Chen Xi that it's here."

"...it will take two years..."

Zhang Hanyun knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "We will be arranged to study on the set in the meantime!"

"Then...is there any money to be made?"

"Yes... we are very good. The company directly arranges to join the group. There is no need to go to the crew... and there is no need to go to the special agent!"

"What is the special offer?"

Zhang Hanyun thought for a while and explained: "It's the kind of small supporting role that is good-looking and has a few lines."

"Then, how much can you give me?"

"A small special can earn 150 a day, a medium special can earn 400, and a large special can earn more than 500."

"What makes you a big deal?"

"I heard them say that you need to be familiar with your face, mainly relying on opportunities and recommendations from people in the circle..."

Just as she was talking, Zhang Hanyun's cell phone rang. It was Chen Xi's call. Five minutes later, she hung up and said to Zhao Liying: "Let's go to the company!"

"Is something wrong?"

Zhang Hanyun explained: "Well...it seems to be the casting of "Myth", and the company helped us win the role..."

…

After the box office of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" exceeded 200 million, the preparations for "The Myth" immediately entered the accelerated stage...

This is a collateral effect!

After all, the cost of 50 million is still quite expensive...

And this time, China Television Media has joined, with Jiang Jiajun and Liang Shengquan as directors, Jackie Chan as the planner, Tang Jili and Shen Xudong as production directors...

It is a drama funded by all parties.

Emperor Jackie Chan, Shanghai Film Emperor, CTV Media, Tianmei Media...

As for the actors, Tianmei Media was responsible for it. Originally, the Emperor also wanted to take a role, but Gao Fenfen declined it directly. The reasons were all ready - either let Xie Tingfeng play Yi Xiaochuan or not arrange an actor!

Xie Tingfeng... I don’t have time, I’m busy getting married...

Even if he had time, Chen Xi wouldn't use him. He's expensive and short, so he can just act in a movie. Acting in a TV series doesn't have the temperament of a protagonist - "Big Shot" was scorned by Yan Yikuan.

This is actually a game of voice behind the scenes. The focus is on Jackie Chan’s attitude. Jackie Chan unconditionally sides with Shen Xudong...

Then the Emperor can only withdraw!

Princess Yushu settled on Jingtian - Shen Xudong strongly recommended it.

Yi Xiaochuan must be Hu Ge, and Gao Yao must be Zhang Shi...

Other starring actors include Gao Lan, Lu Su, Lu Pheasant, Laura and others...

Gao Lan...gave it to Tang Yan.

According to Chen Xi's wishes, Lu Su should be played by Zhang Hanyun and Zhao Liying should play Laura!

As for Lu Pheasant, foreign actors may be invited - there are no actresses under the company who can handle this role.

Then... Shen Xudong recommended Cao Xiwen.

Chen Xi could only agree to give her...

Other roles are outsourced to Shijiu Culture. Anyway, there are a lot of actors in Wang Jinghua Company!

Oh, Chen Xi didn't have a talk, she called Shen Xudong to discuss many things...

Why call?

Because Shen Xudong was not in China, he went to the United States to take charge of the filming of "Juno".
