Chapter 901: The Power of Actor Choice
Zhang Huawei begged Chu Liuxiang before, just to come to a New Year's file that shocked everyone.
Now he doesn't even care about the New Year, which also shows his determination.
That is to make "Thai Embarrassment" a classic.
Polishing this movie well, so as to give yourself a leap to start.
Shen Huan was also very pleased with this change in his attitude.
When a director no longer pursues efficiency, but pursues quality, then he is really prepared enough to meet greater challenges.
In this way, it is possible that "Thai Embarrassment" can surpass the quality of another world!
Zhang Huawei has this statement, and the next eating and drinking will be more harmonious.
But that's not to say that's the end of today's business.
Xu Ruiping talked about another key issue.
"Regarding the actors, I don't know if Mr. Lu and Mr. Chu have any suggestions?"
She asked sincerely.
Whether a movie is good or not, the script is important, the director is important, and the actors are equally important.
There has never been a movie without one of these three, and it can still make a box office hit and word-of-mouth movie.
Therefore, for such a selection of actors, it is often a contradiction between the investor and the director.
Investors want to be popular and drive the box office.
The director needs to have acting skills and be able to understand his own intentions.
At this time, it will be up to who can overpower whom.
In normal times, the six directors of China are not afraid of these at all, I am in charge of my crew, and you don't care about anything else.
This is the result of their decades of success, and they have such confidence.
But more directors still compromise with investors and let them control it.
Many of these good movies, because of the actors' inadequacy, finally became cannon fodder, which made many directors scold.
Zhang Huawei is certainly qualified to decide his own actors.
Yang Feng was qualified to interfere, but he wouldn't do it at all.
But Zhang Huawei still asked his wife to raise this question today, obviously testing Shen Huan, or Chu Liuxiang.
Shen Huan and Chu Liuxiang formed a film and television company together - Fengxiang Film and Television.
This company is going to be involved in all the variety shows, TV series and movies produced by the two of them.
For example, this time, the production of "Thai Embarrassment" was done by three families together.
Yang Feng paid for the money and was also responsible for distribution, Zhang Huawei signed a director's contract, while Fengxiang Film and Television signed a sharing contract.
The dividends that Fengxiang Film and Television can get are definitely not less than Zhang Huawei. ββThis sharing contract, not only at home, but also at the box office abroad.
And Chu Liuxiang's works, at least in Asia, must have countless fans, and many theaters and distributors will rush to buy the copyright, or share the box office cooperation.
"The Gift of Room No. 7" has a box office of 850 million yuan in China, but it has a box office of 3.2 billion yuan abroad.
If there is no foreign box office, will "The Gift of Room No. 7" be so powerful?
If his Zhang Huawei's movies can also be released abroad, and the box office is the same as that in China, then he can still be ridiculed every day, saying that he is a dirt bun, and he can only play tricks in China?
All right.
The topic is far away.
It is precisely because Fengxiang Film and Television has a lot of profit entanglements that they are destined not to leave the crew's affairs alone.
There is no such thing as just giving the script and then not doing anything.
Moreover, it is not without precedent before.
Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng like to use the actors they are used to the most.
How many times has Guo Hang used this?
A fifth-rate actor, he was turned into a Venice actor by them, and became the seventh biggest actor in China!
and Yang Shu, a "Gift of Room No. 7", who became a Venice actress and Golden Globe actress at the age of 8, what a great honor is this?
As a result, in the blink of an eye in "The Story of Little Eight", she took the main role again, which made many people envious, jealous and hateful?
Resources should not be centralized, they should be shared!
It's just that you can star in one film, leave some way for others?
However, these complaints are useless, and the two giants just like to use their acquaintances.
Take the recent "New Dragon Gate Inn" by Old Man Hao He.
One of the heroines currently confirmed is Ye Xiaoyu, and Ye Xiaoyu's decision is completely the result of asking Chu Liuxiang.
If Chu Liuxiang agreed, the old man Hao He chose Ye Xiaoyu, do you say Chu Liuxiang cowhide?
No matter how cowhide you Zhang Huawei is, can you compare to Old Man Hao He?
So if you don't ask Chu Liuxiang when it comes to choosing roles, that's an absolute self-defeating end.
Even if Zhang Huawei can live well without relying on Chu Liuxiang in the future, the supreme honor will definitely say goodbye to Zhang Huawei.
After all, Zhang Huawei is also an aspiring director.
In addition to his pursuit of the highest box office, he also hopes that he can win a big prize, preferably an international award!
In terms of creating an international award-winning movie, who dares to say that it can be more powerful than Mr. Chu Liuxiang?
Just for this, Zhang Huawei is willing to endure and endure a lot of Chu Liuxiang's interference with the crew.
As long as it doesn't involve his bottom line, then everything is negotiable.
......
Hearing Xu Ruiping ask this, Shen Huan nodded slightly.
Whether or not I want to appoint actors, that's my business.
But whether you ask me or not is a sign that you respect me or not.
This attitude is important.
"Teacher Chu and I originally hoped that Teacher Ma could play a role, but do you think the role of Xu Lang is a bit incompatible with him?" Shen Huan expressed his opinion.
"Actually, it's okay, it's okay for Lao Ma to appear in the main drama. Xu Ruiping said, "In this way, I will ask him to take a few sets of makeup photos when he is free, and you and Teacher Chu will see if it is suitable?"
"Good!"
Shen Huan nodded.
"As for the role of Gao Bo, my opinion is that you don't need to be a handsome guy, as long as you have acting skills, and it's better to have comedy talent. The same is true for Wang Bao. Shen Huan said with a smile, "Director Zhang must be more familiar with this point than me, so we won't participate in it, when the time comes, you can let us take a look." β
"You're putting it mildly. Zhang Huawei was very happy, "When the time comes, I have to ask the two of you to check it, otherwise the essence of this movie will not be there?"
For Shen Huan's decentralization, he is still very grateful in his heart.
Since people are so upright, Zhang Huawei must also be sensible and can't let his temper come.
You still have to discuss with Shen Huan, so that you can be hello, hello, everyone.
"Oh, yes. Shen Huan patted his head, "I almost forgot a role." β
"Which one?" Zhang Huawei was stunned.
Xu Lang and Wang Bao commented on the beauty of the people in the elevator, but she turned out to be Chinese, and she went out of the elevator to answer the phone and scolded them for being 2 to 2. Shen Huan said, "This is tailor-made by me asking Teacher Chu." β
"Who do you think will do it?" Zhang Huawei breathed a sigh of relief, such a supporting role doesn't matter.
"It's not fun yet. Shen Huan said, "At the banquet for her birthday, I asked if there was a role for her, and I had no choice but to let Chu Liuxiang add a little more." β
Zhang Huawei and Xu Ruiping looked at each other and smiled when they heard this.
"Teacher Lu, you have a good relationship with Xingxing!" Xu Ruiping said pointedly.
"I treat her as a little sister, and it's really not easy for a young lady like her to have such a good attitude and temper. Shen Huan pretended not to understand and responded.
"This too!"
Zhang Huawei agreed.
Yang Xingxing also starred in his movie, at first I thought that this little princess was not easy to deal with, but it turned out that people were humble and hard-working, except for no acting skills, everything was fine.
No matter how short-tempered Zhang Huawei is, the old man thinks that Yang is happy, and that person is really very good at how to behave and do things.
This role is happy for Yang, and Zhang Huawei has no opinion at all.
