Chapter 583: The Movie Version of "Dragon and Snake"
Liu Yifei and Gu Linaza returned to the company after filming their cameo scenes, and found Li Xiaoping, who was in charge of the filming of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", and told him that Jiang Heng was going to turn the drama into a movie and he would star in it himself.
By the way, Li Xiaoping was shocked when she heard the news!
"Are you saying that Director Jiang will star in the film himself as Wang Chao?"
"Yes, but he is going to play Wang Chao in the movie version, not the one in the TV series!" Gulinazha said with a smile.
"I understand that Director Jiang will never act in a TV series. The problem is, this is an action movie!"
"Yeah, everyone says he's good at martial arts. Wouldn't it be perfect to make an action movie?" Gulinazha looked like she was watching the fun and not afraid of big troubles.
Liu Yifei told what happened softly. The general meaning was that she told Jiang Heng on the set that it was really difficult to find a suitable male lead in a TV series. Instead of making a mediocre film, it would be better to change it into a TV series and make it a classic. come out.
Li Xiaoping nodded slightly. She actually quite agreed with this.
Because since she was planning to film this drama, she found that she is unique, not to mention unique, who perfectly meets the four conditions of being handsome, good at martial arts, good at acting and young. Anyway, she hasn’t found one yet.
Although Jiang Heng is no longer young, fortunately he looks younger, and there is no problem if he puts on good makeup.
In addition, she knew that Jiang Heng was talented, so she was instantly looking forward to the movie.
But he said: "If it is changed into a movie, it will take at least half a year before it can be launched. All the previous talks are in vain!"
Gu Linaza said: "That's not necessarily the case. The TV series has been changed into a movie, and Director Jiang is starring. The resources have been upgraded on the spot! If we continue to use the previously selected actors, I guess many people will be willing to wait!"
Li Xiaoping naturally understands such a simple truth. What she said just now is that she doesn't want her preliminary work to "die" quietly without any movement due to the leader's "annual changes"!
"That's true, but those who are suitable for acting in TV series may not necessarily be able to act in movies. The specific candidates have to be decided by Director Jiang. I'll go talk to him and contact those people!"
Li Xiaoping left in a hurry, first calling Jiang Heng to confirm the matter.
The next day, I went to the crew of "Jingwei Reclamation" with various materials from the preparation period of the "Dragon and Snake" TV series.
Jiang Heng took the time to flip through the script, and then read the list of actors who had been decided in advance. He first finalized a few candidates for the roles that would definitely appear in the film version, and asked Li Xiaoping to discuss it. Then he asked the company to send a team of screenwriters, and then I stayed in a hotel near the China Film Digital Base and began to write the script for the movie version of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" in isolation, and reported on the progress every few days.
However, it was said that as Li Xiaoping successively discussed the termination and renewal of contracts with some actors, the news that "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" was upgraded from a drama version to a movie version gradually spread.
When ordinary celebrities and entertainers hear this, they mostly treat it as an anecdote.
Because the mainland has really not produced a well-received and well-received action movie for many years. Although Wu Jing's previous "Wolf Warrior 1" has a good reputation and box office, it has more military elements than a simple action movie!
But in the ears of action stars, it is a rare and great thing.
Many stars called to inquire about and compete for roles. Some even said that they could make a cameo without being paid, just because they wanted to make some contribution to "action movies".
Even Ahri's Ma Yun called Jiang Heng after hearing the news and expressed her desire to play a cameo as a top expert in the film.
"Well, if there's an action scene, it's better to just show off?"
"There must be fighting scenes, right? Let me tell you, I have been practicing for many years, and there is absolutely no problem. Lianjie, and my bodyguards all say that my kung fu is very good!"
Jiang Heng secretly laughed in his heart, they must be praising you!
"It's definitely not good for action scenes. When filming, bumps and bumps are inevitable. Now you're meeting all the big shots. It's not good to have a bruised nose and a swollen face!"
Ma Yun was unhappy when she heard this, "Let me tell you, I really have the skills. Even if I fight, most people can't hurt me, let alone a trick!"
Jiang Hengxin said, just cheat!
After chatting with this person for a while, Ma Yun realized that she really couldn't act in a fighting scene, so she finally said that a literary play would be fine, but the character must be a master, master, master!
Jiang Heng said that there was no problem. The book "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" has many arena competitions, and Ma Yun could be assigned the role of referee.
Of course, it's like the group of sect leaders sitting on the referee's bench in "Lord of Destruction". Not a referee like Wen Tailai, the thunderbolt player in the ring.
But having said that, Ma Yun's guest appearance still has more advantages than disadvantages in general. Such a well-known figure still adds luster to the movie itself.
In addition, there are many action stars whose fame has gradually declined, such as Qian Xiaohao, Zhao Wenzhuo, etc., who are willing to participate.
After Jiang Heng called them one by one in his spare time, the matter was settled.
In the blink of an eye, late April arrived, and many films released on May Day began to intensively promote. "Charlotte" is such a film.
If "The Richest Man in Xihong City" had not been released, this movie would definitely have been more suitable in the summer season.
But with the popularity of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", its high reputation and box office, the entire film market is looking forward to the second film of the "Happy Twist" team.
Aiyouteng Pictures discussed with the Happy Twist team and decided that it would be better to release it as early as possible, so the film was scheduled to be released on May Day.
In terms of publicity and promotion, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures are still fully responsible, spending a considerable amount of money to promote online and offline.
The premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles" attracted the most attention from the media and the audience.
It was still at the Olympic Stadium. Jiang Heng and Zhang Ruolan arrived at the scene together, as well as the "Happy Twist" team and some of their friends in the industry.
When these people arrived at the scene, most of them went straight to Jiang Heng.
But a handsome boy with long hair came over. He bent his body slightly, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, thank you very much for choosing me to star in this movie...!"
Jiang Heng laughed, "Yuan Hua, no, that Yin Zheng, I heard that you performed well in this movie?"
Because almost the entire movie is made by people from "Happy Twist", iQiyi, Youku and Tencent mainly pay for it, and Jiang Heng's attention to this movie is far less than that of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
He has not watched the movie since it was completed. In theory, he really doesn't know how Yin Zheng performed!
The latter smiled and said, "Everyone said that it was good. I can only say that it was OK. I think it lived up to your choice. Of course, if I have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Director Jiang, it would be even better!"
Jiang Heng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Perform well, and you will have opportunities in the future!"
Yin Zheng felt as if his bones were lighter when he heard this, and he asked, "Do you have any guest roles that need to be played?" (End of this chapter)
