Chapter 292 A Different Plot and Cast of "The Sound of Wind"
Chen Guofu and Liu Wenhan each exchanged part of their own scripts and talked about the progress of the two parties' scripts. Hua Yi completed less than ten scenes, but the outline was completed.
The Hanamaki side is 80% complete.
Chen Guofu was very puzzled. The other party's reasoning process had his own style, but he was more rigorous. After making a few points, he was greatly educated.
This is no nonsense. The plot accomplished by two masters of espionage is comparable to what you second-in-commands imagined.
Both sides are written according to the context of the original work, and the general direction and scenes are basically the same.
The only difference is that except for the information transmission method mentioned in the previous document, "singing opera" has become "grass on stipple painting".
Also, in an agency engaged in intelligence, especially if the two of them are underground members, it's okay to not be able to figure out their true identities. This is designed for dramatic conflict.
But he couldn't explain the matter of his place of origin, and there was no point in adding this paragraph.
There is nothing unreasonable about it.
There are also things that were missed. For example, from the beginning, it was shown through dialogue and a few scenes that the "old ghost" was unable to inform the unexpected situation, but Huayi did not explain it.
Just wait.
After roughly talking about the script, the Huayi duo decided to use Hanamaki's script. At the same time, Chen Guofu joined the screenwriting team. Yang Lingyue expressed his heartfelt welcome. This person came out with Edward Yang and was later valued by Columbia. He is excellent at designing lens language, and he is also good at publicity.
Otherwise, Wang Zhongjun would not have deliberately recruited him to serve as Huayi's film director.
When talking about the director, Wang Zhonglei strongly requested Yang Lingyue to direct. The Billion Dollar Club director is so popular.
"Let's co-direct. I'll be the mascot. How about Director Chen comes out and asks me to follow him and learn from him?" Yang Lingyue looked at Chen Guofu and said.
"How about I serve as the producer?" Chen Guofu paused and said.
"He who can do it has more work. This film involves a lot, so there is no room for error." Yang Lingyue shook his head.
"Indeed, Mr. Chen, don't refuse. Director Yang's proposal is good." Wang Zhonglei added.
The reason why it is said to be more involved is because of the subsidies.
"Director Yang, regarding the investment, your initial estimate is 60 million, right? How much more is the publicity cost?" Wang Zhonglei asked.
"No need, it's all in. The production cost of 40 million is enough, and I guess it won't be used. The publicity budget of 20 million is real." Yang Lingyue said.
The production cost of the original work in the previous life was 60 million, just listen to it. Basically all of them are Huayi's own actors, and the main scene is Qiuzhuang.
It is absolutely impossible for Yang Lingyue to pay such a high salary to actors, but now he has the qualifications.
"After the investment is confirmed and the actors are confirmed, I will calculate it carefully." Liu Wenhan said.
A few people nodded and did not dwell on this.
"The subsidy thing..." Wang Zhonglei smacked his teeth.
"The script is finished, I will handle it. China Film Group has to join in anyway. Whether they vote or not is their business. This is not discussed."
The more Yang Lingyue understood what Wang Zhonglei meant, he said directly that he really thought he had just said it casually because he had promised to others on the day of the celebration banquet.
Hanamaki Film and Television will eventually go further.
"In this case, Director Feng's next film, if you follow this, it will also be 40%."
If it hadn't been agreed in advance, Wang Zhonglei wouldn't have given 40%, so he would have no choice but to make a comedy next year. Director Feng's comedy is a sure profit.
Why make a comedy instead of going on to a big production?
First, "Assembly Number" was filmed with a loan, and Huayi had no cash flow.
Second, we are preparing to go public and need good news.
"no problem."
Yang Lingyue smiled.
This is the difference between the two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei. Wang Zhongjun will never be stingy with the 10%, because compared to the final profit, it is not much money.
It was noon after we finished talking about the script, director, and investment share for this and the next film.
While we were having dinner, we were discussing casting choices.
There are only seven main actors, Gu Xiaomeng, Li Ningyu, Wang Tianxiang, Takeda, Jin Shenghuo, Wu Zhiguo, and Bai Xiaonian.
Yang Lingyue first talked about his envisioned actors.
The first person to decide was Gu Xiaomeng, also known as Mr. Zhou, and there was no disagreement between the two parties.
A rich girl has the pride of a lady, the capital to spend generously, the talent for espionage, and the tenderness and compassion of a woman.
Secondly, there is no difference between Wang Tianxiang and Wang Zhiwen.
Takeda again, Yang Lingyue said Liang Jiahui, and there was no disagreement.
Sorry, Brother Xiao Ming, although your acting is also very good, this film is not solely owned by Huayi. Yang Lingyue naturally has to choose a better one...
Then there was Li Ningyu, who had huge differences of opinion. The other party firmly opposed it. Li Xue, who had only made tea and rarely talked all morning, took the initiative to make a statement.
Because Yang Lingyue mentioned Xiaopang, there are many reasons. The most important thing is to test her quality and whether she is willing to devote herself to this role. The character script has been changed because of you. If she fails, Yang Lingyue will change it without hesitation. script.
"Let me talk about her acting skills first. She frowns, has tears in her eyes, and opens her mouth slightly. Her image is also inappropriate, and she and Tony Leung Ka Fai have just finished playing "Apple", so people will be upset."
"Yes, yes. Director Yang is definitely not suitable for her." Wang Zhonglei shook his head repeatedly.
The original work describes Li Ningyu as cold and charming in appearance, calm in heart, and calm in chaos.
Acting, Xiaopang is excellent when portraying roles like the little people struggling with their hearts. You know, you can’t buy a double A actress.
But when it comes to portraying roles like Wu Zetian and Yang Yuhuan, it’s a disaster.
In terms of the CP feeling between the actors, Xiaopang and Zhou Gongzi are more compatible.
Yang Lingyue said calmly: "You have Xun Geer in Huayi, and I have Fan Xiaopang. As for whether it’s possible to play with Tony Leung or not, do you think it’s possible? Regarding the two of them working together again, Mr. Chen is an expert in publicity, what do you think?"
So that’s it, Li Xue’s eyes were full of reluctance, she and her sister were very optimistic about this script and role, and they were determined.
But this Yang Lingyue is not talking to you now, playing professional, directly acting like a hooligan, and doing the trick of the investor inserting people.
"Is she yours?" Wang Zhonglei raised his eyebrows.
Yang Lingyue didn’t say anything, picked up the water glass and touched Wang Zhonglei’s red wine glass, and then took a sip.
Li Xue looked at Chen Guofu for help, but Chen Guofu was indifferent.
"Wu Zhiguo, Jiang Wen."
Chen Guofu's eyes lit up. He had previously conceived that there was no choice but to choose from the Huayi circle, and naturally it was Zhang Hanyu.
"My great director, let's not talk about the problem of whether it is suitable or not, is Lao Jiang willing to come?" Wang Zhonglei said with a wry smile.
"No problem." Yang Lingyue smiled.
Chen Guofu nodded and said, "If he is willing to come, it would be the best."
"Bai Xiaonian, Xin Baiqing."
The same sentence, Su Youpeng is very good, but Xin Baiqing is better. Look at the performance in the 2000 drama "Kuang Biao". Su Youpeng still has a long way to go.
Why do you think Xin Baiqing was the first choice for "The Hidden"?
Good boy, find another way out.
"I don't know, I will audition when the time comes, okay." Chen Guofu said.
"Yes, Director Chen can also find some suitable ones to interview together." Yang Lingyue nodded repeatedly.
