Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei flew back to Yanjing, and the team responsible for improving the buildings in the community also went to Coconut City.

Although there are construction sites all over the coconut city, but the people who do the work are still not easy to find, mainly because they have work, and then the person in charge of the court culture in the coconut city directly increased the price, and then the day ended, it was considered to have found workers, and there was no delay in the construction period of Wu Jianye.

After Wu Jianye returned to Yanjing, he continued to revise the script in the courtyard.

There are many places in this movie of Chu Xing's world that need to be changed, one is that the filming time of the two sides is different, and there is a difference of several years in between, and at the same time, this itself is an American movie, and now it has been changed to a Chinese movie, and there are many details and settings that need to be changed

At the same time, the casting of actors is about to begin, although the main roles have been decided, there are still many supporting actors who need to be determined.

For example, Chu Xing's parents

Chu Xing's colleagues, as well as the bewitching beauty who appeared at the end

During this time, Wu Jianye was changing the script and interviewing actors at the same time.

The first thing to determine was Chu Xing's colleague, and in the end he chose Wang Zhiwen, who had cooperated with him.

Wang Zhiwen's current development is very different from the development of another time and space, because he made a cameo appearance in the new Dragon Gate Inn, which caused his drama to suddenly be locked in the group of eunuchs, and he became a professional eunuch in the past two years.

And because Tangting Culture has not started filming the new Dragon Gate Inn 2, it has caused Wang Zhiwen to be very embarrassed now.

This time, Wu Jianye started filming Chu Xing's world, Wang Zhiwen heard that it was a modern drama, and he also wanted to come over to expand his acting career

"Director Wu, thank you this time," Wang Zhiwen said excitedly.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Zhiwen, don't worry, I have always been very optimistic about you, in the future, you will definitely become a very good actor."

Wu Jianye has never doubted Wang Zhiwen's acting skills, the image of this master in the early stage of ruffian, the gloomy boss in the later stage, the charming uncle, the literati, absolutely salty and sweet

If someone else said so, Wang Zhiwen would definitely not take it to heart, but Wu Jianye is different, his identity and status are here, and what he says can definitely make Wang Zhiwen feel like a spring breeze

"Then Director Wu, I'll go back first and get familiar with the role," Wang Zhiwen said.

"Wait"

Wang Zhiwen glanced at Wu Jianye suspiciously.

Wu Jianye said: "In the past two years, the company has a lot of plans in terms of movies and TV series, are you interested in signing in to Tangting Culture?"

Wang Zhiwen is one of the hottest stars in the domestic film and television industry in the 90s, and Wu Jianye naturally hopes to include him in his bag

Wang Zhiwen immediately smiled, now domestic film and television companies have been established, but this kind of thing of signing artists is still only done by Tangting Culture, if you can join Tangting Culture, it will naturally be a good thing.

And Wu Jianye has also said that in the next few years, Tangting Culture will shoot more movies and TV series, which is also an opportunity.

So Wang Zhiwen just thought about it briefly, and immediately said: "If that's the case, it's great, thank you Director Wu"

Wu Jianye patted Wang Zhiwen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, by the way, in addition to being familiar with the script during this time, take a look at Wang Shuo's, the company will adapt him in the next two years."

Wang Zhiwen had a smile on his face and said, "Okay"

Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Shan's addiction can be said to be one of the popular TV series in China in the early 90s.

Wang Zhiwen left with a satisfied smile, this time he came to audition not only to get the role, but also to sign a contract with Tangting Culture, and then to know the future plans of Tangting Culture, although Wu Jianye did not say it directly, but depending on what he meant, he should have the hope of starring in Wang Shuo's adapted movies or TV, which is another good news.

Wu Jianye smiled and watched Wang Zhiwen leave without saying anything.

After Zhao Fei waited for Wang Zhiwen to leave, he looked at Wu Jianye and said, "There is another role, have you figured out who to play?"

Wu Jianye sat on the sofa, looked at Zhao Fei, and asked, "That character?"

"It's that annoying director" Zhao Fei gritted his teeth a little when he said this

In fact, the whole world of Chu Xing does not have a clear bad guy in the overall sense, but if you have to make a list of annoying characters, then the director of the TV show in the movie is the most annoying

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "It's best to let a director who has already become famous play this role"

This is actually Wu Jianye's true idea, which can make the characters more immersive

Zhao Fei was on the coffee table with his legs on his legs, holding a can of very Coke in his hand, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have a suitable giant choice"

Wu Jianye's face was overjoyed, and he asked, "Which one is it?"

Zhao Fei said: "Who else can so, yourself, you are the director of this movie, if you play the director of the TV show in the movie, then it will definitely be more convincing"

Wu Jianye thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "It's a little inconsistent in terms of age."

This movie is meant to run through Chu Xing's entire life of more than 20 years in the movie, and Wu Jianye's age is not suitable

Zhao Fei said a little indifferently: "What's this, it's good to give you an older makeup when the time comes, now this movie is definitely no problem in China, but if you want to release this movie in Europe and the United States, except for you alone, the appeal of others is not enough, if you can participate in it, I think it will definitely be of a lot of help to the release of this movie overseas."

Wu Jianye looked at Zhao Fei in some surprise and said with a smile: "It's okay, now I have learned to think about these things."

Zhao Fei pouted: "What's this, I've been with you for a long time, and these things have naturally been learned a long time ago."

Wu Jianye nodded, and said with some emotion: "If you follow what you say, it's not impossible."

Zhao Fei smiled and said persistently: "You think, you are an actor debut, and this reappearance will definitely cause a big sensation."

Wu Jianye glanced at Zhao Fei with a smile and said, "Okay, this matter, I know how to do it, you don't have to say anything."

Wu Jianye said this, in fact, he had already agreed to Zhao Fei's proposal.

As Zhao Fei said, Chu Xing's world movie, the subject matter limits his box office, and if he wants to have a higher box office overseas, if he doesn't have some buying points that impact the audience, it will definitely not work, and if he plays an important role, there will be no problem

Wu Jianye is now playing cross-border, and he is playing very successfully

Director, singer, family, such an identity has long been accepted by the public in Europe and the United States and other countries, as for China, in fact, older audiences know that Wu Jianye is an actor.

Then it was acted and directed by You.

If Wu Jianye joins the movie as an actor this time, it will be feelings for domestic audiences, and fresh for overseas audiences

In the next few days, Wu Jianye, Zhao Fei and other behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew were still busy with the casting work.

This time, Huang Xiaochu's father, Huang Xiaoli, was selected to make a cameo appearance as Chu Xing's father.

In fact, many actors in the uncle circle familiar to the audience in later generations are sons from their parents.

Ge You's father is Mr. Ge Cun Zhuang, and Chen Peisi's father is Mr. Chen Qi, which is needless to say.

Similar to them is Hu Jun, Hu Jun's father, Mr. Hu Baoshan, is a national first-class actor, but what is more famous is that Mr. Hu Baoshan is a famous tenor singer in the country.

Pu Yuxi's father, Su Min, formerly known as Pu Xixun, is a first-generation actor who has starred in movies such as the Ya Film War. He is also the teacher of many outstanding actors such as Song Jiji, Wang Ji, Liang Guanhua, Chen Xiaoyi, etc.

Huang Xiaochu's father, Huang Xiaoli is also a national first-class actor, but more of his performances are on the drama stage.

And Chu Xing's mother chose an actress who is relatively unfamiliar to future audiences

Zhang Mingzi

The audience in the 70s was more familiar with Zhang Mingzi, and the sunny day filmed in China in 73 was starring Zhang Mingzi.

In fact, there are two versions of Sunny Day, the first version, for what reason it was killed, everyone can know the history of that time

In the second version, the original actress was replaced by Zhang Mingzi

Zhang Mingzi is a student of the 66th class of the opera, and after graduation, he was assigned to Yanjing Qingyi, Zhang Mingzi was very beautiful when he was young, just like a pampered college student or a young grandmother with all kinds of charms.

It's just that Zhang Mingzi's acting career is not smooth, and Jiao Shuhong in the sunny sky is almost the most dazzling light in her acting career. After that, the starlight dimmed.

Although she later participated in film and television dramas such as Blue Flower, Jinling Night, Epiphany Dream, and Fenglou, the impression she gave to the audience was very limited.

It is also very unfortunate in life, her husband, who is regarded as a spiritual pillar, died young, leaving her only a son, and returned to live in Huhai with his son, who suffered a lot of deception and blows in Shanghai, and his life and career were very unsmooth.

Being able to find Zhang Mingzi to play Chu Xing's mother is also Huang Xiaoli's recommendation

After going through the audition, Wu Jianye decided that Zhang Mingzi would play Chu Xing's mother

As for the woman who appeared last, she is not in a hurry yet, so she can choose slowly.

After these actors were selected, Wu Jianye also called Zhou Xingchi, who was far away in Xiangjiang, and asked him to rush to Yanjing in advance to get acquainted with the rest of the crew.

Zhou Xingchi naturally had no opinion, and promised Wu Jianye that he would come to Yanjing tomorrow

As for Zhou Xingchi's procedures for participating in film shooting in China, it has also been approved early through Wu Jianye's operation.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Xingchi arrived in Yanjing by flight, and this time he came to Yanjing, he only brought an assistant, and the two walked out of the airport in a light car.

However, there should still be protection measures, and Zhou Xingchi's reputation in China at this time is not small, thanks to the credit of the video hall.

In fact, the star of the tenth century of Xiangjiang has such a great influence in China, even after a few decades, it is still remembered by countless people, and the biggest credit is the video hall

At this time, due to various domestic policies, it is impossible for pure Hong Kong films to be officially released in China, and the recorded Hong Kong films that will be released in domestic theaters are actually the Lion King movie starring Li Lianjie next year.

At that time, Yanjing Film Studio and Huhai Yongle Film and Television Co., Ltd., the first film joint-stock company in China, signed a distribution contract in Huhai for the Lion King Competition.

At that time, the issuance of the Lion King Championship adopted the internationally accepted account sharing method, using the issuance income to be proportionally shared, and it was brought into play, and two rounds of sharing and settlement were adopted.

In the first four months of the film's release, it is the first round of sharing, within one million, Beijing Film Studio accounts for 60 of the distribution income, Yongle Company accounts for 40, and four months after the premiere to the end of the distribution period, it is the second round of sharing, with Beijing Film Studio accounting for 42 and Yongle Company accounting for 58.

As a result, the film was released in Shanghai, and in just 10 days, the income exceeded 1 million.

The subsequent success of this film also made the domestic co-production trend rise again.

In May 1993, a total of 48 films were released in the five cities of Chang'an, Bincheng, Yanjing, Huhai and Jinmen, including 5 co-productions, 13 Hong Kong and Taiwan films, 14 foreign films and 16 domestic films

The highest attendance rate is co-production, with an average attendance of 3453, and the lowest attendance rate is domestic film, with an average attendance of 2856.

Not only that, at this time, the domestic ticket price is no longer a few cents before, and the average ticket price in the country is already a few dollars

However, the ticket price is different depending on the type of movie, with the highest ticket price for co-productions, with an average ticket price of 689 yuan, the average ticket price of Hong Kong and Taiwan films is 433 yuan, the average ticket price of foreign films is 573 yuan, and the average ticket price of domestic films is 511 yuan

Among them, the most watched are Hong Kong and Taiwan films

After Zhou Xingchi got off the plane, he was directly picked up by the people of Tangting Culture, and Zhou Xingchi also saw Wu Jianye on the second floor in Wu Jianye's office.

"Director Wu" Zhou Xingchi was wearing a simple denim shirt, and greeted Wu Jianye a little shyly.

Zhou Xingchi's personality is not like him in the movie, but he is a little dull in reality, in fact, most comedians are like this, and Jim Carrey even has depression in real life

"Well, how is it, are you still used to the weather in Yanjing" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.

Zhou Xingchi rubbed his hands and said, "I'm not used to it, it's much colder than the Xiangjiang side."

Wu Jianye said: "During this time, you should learn Chinese, although after the movie is filmed, there will be special voice actors, but if you can master Chinese, it will be convenient to communicate with the actors in the crew at that time"

Zhou Xingchi nodded and said, "Okay, Director Wu"

Wu Jianye: "I will send you to the hotel first, by the way, Rong Tsai is staying in a hotel with you, he is also learning Chinese now, you can communicate with him more at that time"

"Hmm"
