Chapter 321: Beauty Trap
The shooting efficiency of big film and television companies is far slower than that of small directors.
Huayi started the project of "Resident Evil 1" when it bought the copyright of "Infinite Time and Space".
It took 3 months to complete the preliminary preparations and start auditioning actors.
There are many important characters in the whole story, and they all have a lot of roles.
For example, the female captain Lane, as well as Spence, Matt, and the little girl Red Queen of artificial intelligence.
But the most important thing in the whole play is the heroine Alice.
The heroine.
This main role runs through the entire Resident Evil series of movies. After the first one is decided, if there is no accident, the subsequent series of movies will use this actor.
One movie contract is equal to 3 movies.
As the first world in the infinite universe, Resident Evil occupies an extremely important position in the readers' minds.
It is the key in the entire movie universe.
Just like the role of Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man 1" on Earth in the Marvel Universe.
One person, one character, runs through the first stage of the entire Marvel Universe story.
Comparing gods with mortal bodies.
A snap of the fingers ended a glorious life.
After several years, everyone still remembers the appearance of the first generation of Iron Man, and even the audience thinks that he is Iron Man!
Obviously, Alice, the heroine of Resident Evil, will also play the role of the beginning of the entire infinite universe.
It is very important to choose the right actor!
At this time, the senior management of Huayi had to be cautious and specially invited Pu Dingle, who portrayed the role of Alice, to check.
His opinion is very important.
"The Man from Earth" was extremely successful because of Chen Mingdao's performance, and after it was launched on the streaming platform, Douban's score is still very high, with 8.2.
The subsequent income of the film is also slowly increasing. In addition to the film sold abroad, Pu Jie will get more than 1 million yuan in the hands of the film.
A very considerable income.
Even more than the money from the book "Infinite Time and Space"!
After the money is divided into Pu Jie's hands, he plans to decorate the new house, and save the rest of the money to maintain the daily character of Pu.
After all, it is not appropriate for a boss with such a high net worth to have a very tight personal life.
Considering that "The Man from Earth" was written by Pu Dingli, the role selection was very successful.
Huayi's senior management said that the crew should fully refer to the opinions of the original author and screenwriter, and all actions should serve to make a good movie.
Pu Jie found out how much he valued himself after he arrived.
Everyone was waiting for him to start.
The producer and director were very enthusiastic. Both of them said that they liked the story of Resident Evil very much and were willing to make this movie well.
Director Bob is a white man with a beard, but he speaks in Beijing dialect.
"Brother Pu, you can rest assured to hand over this script to me! I promise to train those foreigners for you and shoot according to our rules."
Pu Jie's face was full of black lines.
Do you have the nerve to say that they are foreigners?
You are obviously the most unrestrained foreigner!
But this Beijing dialect cannot be said without ten years in Kyoto.
"Are you an expert on China?"
Bob said disdainfully: "What are you talking about, brother? I am at most an expert on the United States. I am a real Kyoto native with a registered permanent residence!"
"Awesome."
The choice of director is very reasonable.
It is really good for a Chinese to hand over a foreign-themed movie written by such a director to shoot, which is conducive to the integration of the two cultures.
The content is also more inclusive.
Pu Jie had a general chat with Bob and found that he had shot many Chinese movies and won some foreign language film awards internationally. He is a capable person.
It can be seen that Huayi also put a lot of effort into choosing the director.
"By the way, Pu Bian, tell me, should we use a Chinese or a foreigner for the heroine?"
"Uh, it should be a Chinese. After all, it is our movie."
Pu Jie always felt that it was a bit awkward for a white man with a beard to speak in Beijing dialect and call other white people "foreigners".
"Okay! I think so too. Then, shall we start auditioning Chinese actors?"
"Okay."
Today's audition will start soon, and the actors will prepare to enter in order.
There are two actresses in the back, who have been staring at Pu Jie since he came in.
A woman who looks more mature, with bright and beautiful appearance, delicate features, full and round face, white and shiny skin, and a pair of big watery eyes. She always looks affectionate and can impress almost any man who stares at her.
She said: "Zhaha, as far as I know, this Pu Bian is the soul of this movie. The senior management of Huayi attaches great importance to him. Who can play the leading role in this movie? What he says is effective. I will find a way to get his contact information later. We can invite him to dinner and talk to him later. He is still young and likes girls like you."
Malzaha was dressed very formally today and dressed up carefully, which was completely different from when he stayed at home.
The already beautiful features highlighted the exotic style, as if she was the Daji who seduced King Zhou.
Her face turned slightly red. "I hate you, Sister Mi. If you use the beauty trap, who can resist you? Don't men always say that young people don't know the good of mature women and mistake young girls for treasures? I think Pu Bian must be experienced. He will definitely not refuse your call. Everyone in and out of the circle knows your charm, Sister Mi."
Yang Mimi's mouth corners slightly raised.
Although she has heard this kind of words a lot, it is very useful to hear it from another beautiful woman.
She debuted at a young age and is 29 this year, and will soon be 30.
She has achieved certain results in her career and has filmed several popular TV series, but she has never had a representative work on the big screen.
She needs this work.
It is an excellent step for her and the studio to improve.
Malzahar is an artist under her studio, and there is no strong constraint. The two are good sisters, so she brought them together. Anyway, there will be competition. As long as someone gets on, it is a good thing for the studio.
The two are the ceiling of appearance among the vast number of female artists, and they are the protagonists wherever they go.
In this audition, they are also the biggest worries of other actresses.
But fortunately, I heard that this film depends on strength, and there is no hidden rules.
Other actresses still have a chance, otherwise Mimi will shout a few words and take it directly.
She is a woman who can sacrifice some things to get promoted.
But her Malzahar is different. Zaha is a flower in a greenhouse, completely hiding under the protection of her good sister, and has never seen the dangers of the world.
The two chatted and laughed, and soon it was Yang Mimi's turn.
After entering, she smiled and greeted: "Producer Li, Director Bob, Pu Bian, good afternoon, I am Yang Mimi, come to try this role."
Yang Mimi is at least a big shot, and everyone else smiled and responded.
Only Pu Bian.
There was a look of surprise on his face!
This person. How can he look like that person on the earth?
From the face, it is exactly the same!
It's a pity that I can't look inside, otherwise Pu Jie can recognize it more accurately.
It seems that he thought of the short film he had seen before, and Pu Jie smiled sweetly.
Yang Mimi looked at Pu Bian's interested eyes and seemed to understand something.
'Zaha, it seems that my sister's luck is indeed better than yours. '
