Chapter 166: The choice of the hero and heroine
Next.
After Yue Guan woke up, Gao Yuanyuan had already left.
Nothing was left.
Yue Guan looked down at himself, feeling that he was particularly like a weak man who had been abandoned after playing.
Maybe that's life.
Yue Guan silently accepted this cruel reality.
When he was hypocritical, Wang Jing's call came.
"Come to my room. ”
After saying this, Wang Jing hung up the phone.
Yue Guan got up, seized the time to wash up briefly, and went to Wang Jing's room.
After seeing Yue Guan, Wang Jing handed him his revised script: "I changed it for most of the night last night, your main plot is very complete, you don't need to change it drastically, just fill in the details." You can do it yourself or find some assistant screenwriters, and I will help you add some small settings to make this script more in-depth. ”
Yue Guan asked Wang Jing while reading the script: "Brother Jing, what did you add?"
"For example, the so-called 'priceless' heart of the ocean that Lei Fang gave to Zhen set up as a fake. Since it is all evil, don't make the audience sympathize with any character, and don't lower the IQ of any character. Deceive each other, take advantage of each other, and the confrontation is the most amazing. ”
Yue Guan exclaimed: "Brother Jing is Brother Jing, he is really professional." ”
In addition, the bankruptcy of Lei's company is set to fund the local warlords to resist Wang Shi, so that his company's business problems and his eagerness to run away to the United States and his coveting of the status of a true aristocrat are all logical, and the script is more politically correct. ”
It's all in the details.
It's all kung fu, too.
Wang Jing added a lot of similar details.
Yue Guan finished reading Wang Jing's fine-tuned script and gave Wang Jing a thumbs up: "Brother Jing changed an 80-point script to 90 points." ”
Wang Jing waved his hand: "Your original script has 85 points, and I will add five points to you at most." ”
But the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.
can add five points, which is enough to reflect Wang Jing's strength.
"The script has been revised so far, you just need to find someone to fill in some more details, and there are not too many problems. Wang Jing sat opposite Yue Guan and began to discuss the details of the specific implementation with Yue Guan: "When are you going to start this project?"
"The sooner the better, I'm still ready to rub off on the popularity of "Taiping Wheel". How bad Wu Baige's "Taiping Wheel" is, how much surprise our "Taiping Wheel" can bring to the audience. I'm afraid of comparisons in everything, and I even want to make this movie be released at the same time as "Taiping Wheel", and postpone "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master". ”
Wang Jing seriously thought about this possibility: "If Wu Baige's "Taiping Wheel" is very poor, it is indeed okay to do so. ”
If a movie wants to get a good box office, in addition to its own quality must be good enough, it also needs the support of its peers.
If it weren't for the movies of the same period, the box office miracle of "Wolf Warrior 2" would not have been miraculous to that extent.
"The Wandering Earth" is the same, Ning Hao and Xing Ye's new movies all pulled their hips, and then the small wrecking ball stood out and became the final big winner.
There are certain time periods when the audience will definitely go to the movies, either watching this or that.
And some viewers really only have the time or money to watch a movie.
Therefore, it is very important to find an opponent who can press and fight.
Wu Baige's "Taiping Wheel" is the soft persimmon in Yue Guan's eyes.
Wang Jing doesn't have Yue Guan's confidence, but he has also read the script of "Taiping Wheel", and he really has some confidence.
"If you really want to fight in the ring, then the speed will be accelerated, when will your investment be in place?" Wang Jing asked.
Yue Guan calculated the time: "Within a week." ”
Wang Jing thought for a while, and then said: "I should be able to do it in a week, and the crew didn't spend so much money at the beginning of its establishment, so let's go to prepare after discussing it today, and it just so happens that the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew will then enter the crew." ”
Yue Guan has no opinion.
The two movies "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" were filmed very smoothly, and in addition to Wang Jing's credit, the credit of these behind-the-scenes personnel is also great.
Wang Jing had already used them, so he continued to let him use them, Yue Guan didn't care about this.
As long as he continues to invest, Wang Jing will definitely give him enough right to speak, and Wang Jing's character is still trustworthy in this regard.
"What about the actors? What do you think?"
"I have a relationship with the Mandarin side, and I can bring in a lot of Mandarin teachers to make cameos. Yue Guan thought for a moment, and then added: "Maybe you don't want money." ”
The corners of Wang Jing's eyes twitched.
Many of the artists of the National Theatre are national first-class actors.
The passengers on the Taiping Ferry come from all walks of life, and it does require a lot of people to play tricks.
It's not attractive to look for ordinary tricks, but looking for these big names to make cameos will definitely add a lot of brilliance.
"I'll leave it to you. Wang Jing decisively shook the pot: "These people can increase the box office by at least 10 million." ”
It's not much, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat.
"What about the three main roles, which one are you going to play? It should be Yan Zekun, right?" Wang Jingdao.
Yue Guan nodded: "Yes, Yan Zekun." ”
In his script, there are actually two male protagonists and one female protagonist, and the roles of the three characters are almost the same.
However, in terms of ranking, Yan Zekun will be ranked in front of Lei's side.
Yue Guan organized the game by himself, and of course he would not give it to others.
This was expected by Wang Jing.
"You play Yan Zekun, who do you like about the other actor Lei Fang?" How about Ting Feng?" Wang Jing took the initiative to suggest.
The son of an old friend, he is still willing to carry it.
However, Yue Guan didn't give Wang Jing this face: "The main plot of this drama revolves around Yan Zekun and Lei and Yu Zhen, and the selling point is not only the special effects, that is, these three actors." Chef Xie can't hold it up, neither in acting nor fame. ”
Yue Guan had no negative impression of Chef Xie.
But looking at Chef Xie's box office performance, you can know that he really doesn't have any blockbuster movies.
Hong Kong films have made him and limited him.
can't attract passers-by.
Wang Jing was not disappointed, anyway, he mentioned it in passing: "Who are you optimistic about?"
"I haven't thought about it for the time being, I hope the role of Lei Yifang is played by someone whose acting skills are not worse than mine, but not better than me, and the coffee position and popularity should also meet the standards of first-line stars, so as to be worthy of the investment in this play. ”
Yue Guan's requirements are not low, but Wang Jing can understand.
The acting skills are no worse than Yue Guan, and it is guaranteed that this drama will not be picked by the audience in terms of acting skills.
is not better than Yue Guan, and I promise that I will not let this drama make a wedding dress for others.
But......
"Where can you find a first-line male star in the entertainment industry who has five or five acting skills with you? Lei Yifang is not too big according to the script, and there are few actors of the younger generation who meet this standard. ”
When Yue Guan heard the words "five or five open" acting skills, he suddenly thought of a person.
"Brother Jing, what do you think of Huang Xiaoming?"
Wang Jing pondered and said: "The popularity and coffee position are in line with the standard, and the national degree is enough, according to the script setting, Lei Yifang is older than Yan Zekun, and the age is also appropriate." In terms of temperament, Lei Fang is barely a domineering president, although it is a bankrupt version, but Huang Xiaoming should also play it. It's just that his acting skills meet the requirements? Yue Guan, Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are notoriously unstable, I have confidence in you, but I don't have much confidence in you asking me to train him. ”
Yue Guan is very confident in the sect leader: "The sect leader's acting skills have always been with people, and when he debuted, he would not fall behind when he played against teacher Chen Daoming." It's also a small student who debuted in a drama, and the upper limit can still be expected. ”
Unless Yue Guan's acting skills pull his hips, the sect leader's acting skills don't have to worry too much.
After all, he is the Emperor Wuwu Kai Xiao Ming.
Wang Jing thought about Huang Xiaoming's performance in some dramas, and nodded slowly: "Let him try the play, Yue Guan, let's try not to take risks in this play." Although there are not many choices for the role of Lei Fangfang, there are still other options. ”
The Mesozoic stars of the Dragon Country, can fight a bunch.
However, at this stage, there are very few male stars whose national popularity exceeds that of the leader.
If the sect leader and Yang Tianbao are already married in a few years, Yue Guan will definitely not consider the sect leader, it will simply have the effect of persuading him to quit.
But the current sect leader can still look forward to it.
"Dragon Country Partner", which has made him win numerous awards in the film industry, has not yet come out, and the sect leader has not yet reached the peak, let alone fallen all the way after the peak.
The only problem is that Yue Guan has already agreed to let the sect leader play "The Wind Rises in Langya Bang Changlin", if the sect leader is pulled into the new crew, "Langya Bang: The Wind Rises in Changlin" may have to be replaced or continue to wait.
However, Yue Guan glanced at Wang Jing.
If Wang Jing is a director, he may not have to think about this issue.
After all, this is a notoriously fast gunner.
As long as the shot is smooth, it is definitely not delusional to solve the battle within a month.
"What about the heroine? Do you want to choose from Yuanyuan, Amin or Doudou?" Wang Jing took local materials: "Just continue to cooperate, the price is easy to negotiate, as long as you open your mouth, they will definitely be willing to take it." ”
Yue Guan shook his head: "None of them can do it, Brother Jing, don't you think that the role of Yu Zhen should be played by a female star who looks particularly simple and fairy?"
Wang Jing pondered for a moment, and said: "That's true, the more innocent the character of Yu Zhen is in front of him, the greater the impact on the audience when the ending is reversed." It is indeed necessary to find the kind of female star who looks like a good woman and is simple and silly and sweet to play, so that there is no need for too many acting skills, and the audience will preconceived that she is innocent. ”
Yue Guan's script focuses on reversal and impact.
If you only watch the first half, it feels like watching the oriental version of "Titanic", and you will think that this movie is a celebration of love.
However, Yan Zekun and Lei Fang took the lead in jumping their identities and tore through their barbed wolf disguise, which was the first surprise.
In the ending, Yan Zekun confessed to Zhen that he was close to her "truth", which is the second surprise, because there is still the truth behind the truth.
In the end, Yu Zhen revealed his secret, which was the third surprise, and the audience had already exceeded expectations when they saw this.
And in the end, all three liars reached the pinnacle of their lives in the ugly country, pushing this surprise trio to the top.
How good the performance is in the front, how big the impact of the ending is.
Therefore, the heroine must be chosen well.
"Sister Yuanyuan is not like a silly white sweet, Zhang Min's temperament is cold and glamorous, and it is not the feeling of a simple daughter. Qiu Shuzhen can act, but her temperament is more cute and sexy, and Yu Zhen's key traits in the early stage should be simplicity and kindness. I tend to look for the kind of female star with the white moonlight attribute, who looks soft and weak, without the slightest aggression. ”
According to Yue Guan's description, Wang Jing began to search for female stars.
After a while, he proposed several candidates: "Liu Shishi?"
Yue Guan thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Liu Shishi can, her beauty and her own temperament are not aggressive, she can show a reversal, the only worry is that she can't grasp it well in the end." ”
Liu Tao should also be able to, in the minds of many people, she is synonymous with a good woman. Wang Jingdao.
"Teacher Bai doesn't matter, she is a sister in the film industry, and her popularity is not good. ”
"Teacher Bai, what Teacher Bai?" Wang Jing didn't understand Yue Guan's words.
Yue Guan explained calmly: "The heroine of an Internet, netizens think she is the most suitable to play. ”
"I don't read the Internet, and I don't know much about you young people. Wang Jing didn't take it seriously, and put forward another candidate: "Does Liu Yifei also meet the requirements?"
Yue Guan thought seriously for a moment: "It does meet the requirements, it's hard to imagine that Liu Yifei plays a bad woman, and when the audience sees her, they automatically add fairy spirit and simple settings to her, and they don't need acting skills to make the audience think that Yu Zhen is a simple aristocratic daughter." ”
"Both of these women seem to have a relationship with you. Wang Jing glanced at Yue Guan gossipingly, and then showed a smile at Yue Guan that all men understand.
Yue Guan felt very wronged: "It's just a scandal, Brother Jing, you have a misunderstanding about me, I don't shoot everywhere I go." ”
When he was in the crew of "The Condor Heroes", although he was surrounded by beautiful women, Yue Guan had only done anything to Tang Yan, and other female stars had no deeper contact.
Even though many female celebrities have hinted or explicitly hinted at him, Yue Guan is still as guarded as jade.
After all, the blue child is outside, so you should pay attention to protect yourself.
Yue Guan's words, Wang Jing didn't believe a word.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, since they're suitable, can you get them?"
Yue Guan thought about the situation of the two women, and then nodded to Wang Jing: "It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll ask them who has a schedule." ”
Yu Zhen picks actors for this role.
And Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei can indeed act.
"Then we will act separately and strive to take a week to deal with all the trivial matters, the cast is decided, and the filming will officially start in a week. ”
Wang Jing's work efficiency is not ordinarily high, and Yue Guan is also happy to cooperate: "Listen to Brother Jing, I'll contact you now." ”
"By the way, what's the name of our play?" asked Wang Jing.
"I haven't thought about it yet, Brother Jing, you can help me think about it, and I'll also let the book friends crowdfund it. ”
