Yang Da, the new director of Xiangjiang, naturally knows about it, and after receiving Liu Zhongwei's audition invitation, Yang Da also made a difficult decision, if it still doesn't work out this time, he will announce his retirement from the entertainment industry.

Xiangjiang Lin Yang Studio. When Lin Yang saw Yang Da, he couldn't connect Yang Da with the once popular Xiangjiang interpretation of a song, but belonged to the vicissitudes and helplessness of middle-aged people.

However, after Song Zihao in the play was released from prison, it was this mentality that he wanted to show, and Lin Yang was full of expectations for Yang Da's audition.

"Director Liu, hello, I don't know what kind of role I want to play in the play. ”

Liu Zhongwei looked at Lin Yang and asked, "Mr. Lin, this ......?"

Lin Yang showed Yang Da the short script. At the same time, he said: "What do you think of Song Zihao in this script?"

Yang Da looked at Song Zihao's character characteristics and said: "The role of Song Zihao's character, I think it is more to show the ...... through psychological changes."

After listening to Yang Da's explanation, Lin Yang said: "Then you will play this character, and you will have a good grasp of the script." ”

Song Zihao belongs to the male number one in the play, and after hearing that Lin Yang just asked Yang Da to play the role through a simple chat, Liu Zhongwei said: "Mr. Lin, should we think about Song Zihao's role again?"

Lin Yang said: "Let's put the role selection on Song Zijie!"

After it was determined that Yang Da would play the role of Song Zihao, Lin Yang thought of Lin Yuan about Song Ziwen's role, Lin Yuan, as a fried chicken in the Xiangjiang music scene, has always been interested in moving to film and television, but he never got a good opportunity, after the success of "Crazy Boy", Lin Yuan once revealed to Lin Chen that he wanted to appear in the movie, and it happened that Lin Yang, the role of the policeman Song Ziwen, was ready to be handed over to Lin Yuan.

As for Tan Cheng's role, Lin Yang thought of Zhang Xianbin, who played Liangkun, because of Zhang Xianbin's excellent performance in the first part, Zhang Xianbin also has a certain popularity in the Xiangjiang film and television circle, and Zhang Xianpeng has always maintained a good relationship with Lin Yang's studio.

Song Zijie's girlfriend Lin Yang still thought of Liu Xiaoyue, this role is not heavy, Liu Xiaoyue, who has played a small stammer, has always wanted to appear in a movie again, and it just so happens that this role can meet her wishes.

As for the other tricks, Lin Yang thought of using Kang Zhongjin's younger brother Wu Sanyuan to play, Wu Sanyuan completely satisfied his dream of being an actor through his appearance in "Crazy Boy", this time when Lin Yang revealed that he came to Xiangjiang to make a new movie, Wu Sanyuan invited Lin Yang to play a role.

Uncle Zeng, who played the role of a taxi shop owner, Lin Yang thought of using Sun Tong, the eldest brother who had really retired from the road, and was another suitable one for such a role.

Then Lin Yang contacted them one by one, and except for Lin Yuan, the other characters were determined. Lin Yuan, as a first-line singer in Xiangjiang, still has certain scruples about cooperating with box office poison like Zhou Zecheng and an outdated star like Yang Da. So Lin Yuan refused Lin Yang's invitation to serve as Song Zijie.

For Lin Yuan to give up the role of Song Ziwen, Lin Yang did not persuade again, Lin Yang could naturally understand Lin Yuan's scruples, and after Lin Yuan refused Lin Yang's invitation, Lin Yang thought of Ma Feng.

Compared with Lin Yuan, Ma Feng's fame in Xiangjiang is more successful, in recent years, Ma Feng has changed his previous style, and has successively launched several albums with good sales in the Xiangjiang music scene, and Ma Feng has also returned to the front line in the field of singers.

Although he has a good status in the music world, Ma Feng has always wanted to try to transform, but there is no good script and film and television company to cooperate with him, so that Ma Feng's transformation has been slow. So Lin Yang decided to invite Ma Feng.

When he got Lin Yang's invitation, Ma Feng did not consider other factors, but agreed to play the role of Song Zijie without hesitation. In this way, the cast of "The True Color of Heroes" was officially formed.

Director Lin Yang is still ready to use Liu Zhongwei to shoot, but what Lin Yang didn't expect was that when Lin Yang asked Liu Zhongwei to direct this movie, Liu Zhongwei changed again.

As the director of Xiangjiang Lin Yang Studio, Liu Zhongwei does not recognize Lin Yang's lineup of filming "The True Color of Heroes", because Liu Zhongwei belongs to the new directors of Xiangjiang, if the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" is not as expected this time, Liu Zhongwei's status in the directorial industry will be greatly affected, so Liu Zhongwei refused to direct this movie. However, Liu Zhongwei promised to fully support Lin Yang's shooting.

"Mr. Lin, although I can't direct such a movie, I can recommend a director to you. ”

Xiangjiang Studio always has to develop big, Lin Yang naturally doesn't mind recruiting another director, listening to Liu Zhongwei's words, Lin Yang said: "Director Liu has any suitable person to recommend?"

Liu Zhongwei said: "This person's ability is good, I think since Mr. Lin doesn't mind Zhou Zecheng's box office poison, and an outdated actor like Yang Da, he can try this person." “

"Li Ziqi. ”

As one of the earliest film directors in Xiangjiang, Li Ziqi has almost witnessed the brilliant growth of Xiangjiang films, but in recent years, due to the unsatisfactory box office of the filmed movies, Li Ziqi has gradually faded out of the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.

Then Lin Yang watched a few of Li Ziqi's movies, just looking at the movie shooting, Li Ziqi's emotional grasp of the characters is really in place, since Lin Yang doesn't believe in any so-called box office poison. So Lin Yang asked Li Zhongwei to contact Li Ziqi.

Since fading out of the Xiangjiang film and television circle, Li Ziqi moved to Treasure Island, Li Ziqi has the grace of Liu Zhongwei, it is Li Ziqi's support that makes Liu Zhongwei's photography well-known in the circle, Li Ziqi once asserted that if he encounters the right opportunity, Liu Zhongwei may surpass himself.

With the advent of "Crazy Boy", Liu Zhongwei became completely popular, but Li Ziqi became a director who was idle at home. The reason why Liu Zhongwei recommended Li Ziqi to Lin Yang was because it was indeed because of Li Ziqi's strength, and second, Liu Zhongwei intended to repay Li Ziqi's kindness to him at the beginning.

After Li Ziqi in Baodao received a call from Liu Zhongwei, he rushed to Xiangjiang, and after reading the script of "The True Color of Heroes", Li Ziqi made a big idea about the character structure and plot in it, I have to say that Li Ziqi is indeed much higher than Li Zhongwei in terms of grasping the emotions of the characters.

Then Lin Yang officially confirmed the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" directed by Li Ziqi.

After the cast was assembled, Lin Yang was ready to hold a kick-off ceremony for "The True Color of Heroes".

Just when Lin Yang was about to determine all the roles, Liu Zhongwei found Lin Yang again.

"Mr. Lin, I have something to ask you. “

Facing Liu Zhongwei's words, Lin Yang asked, "What's the matter, Director Liu, is there anything you need my help with?"

Liu Zhongwei said: "Mr. Lin, is there a suitable role in the movie, I want to ask for a role for my friend." “

It turned out that when Liu Zhongwei was doing photography, he knew a buddy, Liu Zhongwei had a good relationship with this buddy, this buddy was a complete dragon set emperor, I heard that Lin Yang wanted to shoot "The True Color of Heroes", so he asked Liu Zhongwei to come to Lin Yang to look for a role.

After listening to Liu Zhongwei's introduction, Lin Yang asked, "Director Liu, what roles have your friends filmed?" “

Liu Zhongwei said: "My friend basically plays some villains because of image problems, but he has never been famous, he belongs to the bottom of the line, although my friend looks a little fierce, but my friend is particularly righteous enough, Mr. Lin sees if there is a suitable role, if there is no suitable role, Mr. Lin should not be reluctant." ”

After listening to Liu Zhongwei's introduction, Lin Yang also became a little interested in his friend, because although the actors of the whole film have been determined, Lin Yang has always been a little dissatisfied with the tricks of some villains.

Under Liu Zhongwei's recommendation, Lin Yang finally met Liu Zhongwei's friend.

Seeing Liu Zhongwei, a friend who plays a villain, Lin Yang felt familiar.

"Like, too much. ”

Listening to Lin Yang's words, Liu Zhongwei said, "What's wrong, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Yang said, "It's nothing, what's the name of this friend of yours?"

"Wang Dakui. “

Looking at Wang Dakui, Lin Yang thought of the villain Cheng Kuian, a villain in another time and space, Cheng Kuian is not a first-line actor, but Cheng Kuian is one of the most familiar Xiangjiang artists to mainland audiences, he has mostly played some supporting villains in his life, but because of his outstanding "fierce appearance", the image of "Dasha" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The life of "Dasha" has created many classic underworld images, and these interpretations are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although he doesn't have the appearance of Xiao Xianrou, his acting skills are outstanding. Unfortunately, on August 27, 2009, Cheng Kuian died of illness at the age of 54.

Looking at Wang Dakui, Lin Yang felt that it was most suitable for him to play the follower next to Ah Cheng.

After determining that Wang Dakui would play Ah Cheng's sidekick, Lin Yang found that Wang Dakui is not affiliated with any economic company now, for such an actor, Lin Yang asked Liu Zhongwei to sign in to Lin Yang's studio, Liu Zhongwei was very puzzled by Lin Yang's approach, but Lin Yang believed that after this movie, Liu Zhongwei would understand.

When Lin Yang's studio announced the main creative lineup of Yang Da, Zhou Zecheng and Ma Feng, plus directors like Li Ziqi to direct this movie, the Xiangjiang film and television circle was not optimistic about the "True Colors of Heroes" that Lin Yang wanted to invest in filming.

With the investment and production of two "Crazy Boy" movies, Lin Yang already has a certain status in the Xiangjiang film and television circle, but most people are not very optimistic about Lin Yang's new movie, from Zhou Zecheng, who was the first to determine that the role was played by box office poison, and then to the popular star Yang Da, Ma Feng is still a first-line star in Xiangjiang.

Another difference in "The True Color of Heroes" is that it is completely a story of three men, although there are female characters, but the female characters do not play a big role in it. Three men and one scene are generally very rare in the history of Xiangjiang films, so many film critics in Xiangjiang have lowered their expectations for this movie, believing that Lin Yang's film is definitely not as influential and box office as "Crazy Boy".

After learning that Lin Yang was going to prepare for the filming of "The True Colors of Heroes", Anju Pictures was also watching the progress of this movie, and I have to say that with the two "Crazy Boy" series of movies, Lin Yang's studio did make Anju Pictures a little deflated. Long Qi is Anju Pictures, and in the competition with it, Anju Pictures was completely destroyed by Lin Yang's studio. This also makes Anju Pictures a joke in the Xiangjiang film and television industry.

So for Lin Yang's movie, from the beginning of Lin Yang's casting to the announcement of the completion of casting, Anju Pictures can be said to follow up the whole process. I thought that Lin Yang was still operating with a lot of money this time, but what surprised Anju Pictures was that Lin Yang actually chose this remnant formation, which also made director Wang Shitao, who was completely defeated from Lin Yang's studio, start to move.

"Gangs of the Rivers and Lakes" collided with "The Man of the Troubled Boy in the Rivers and Lakes", which challenged Wang Shitao's majestic status in the previous directorial industry in Hong Kong, and Wang Shitao never thought that he would lose to a newcomer Liu Zhongwei at the box office. So after getting all the information about the start of filming of "The True Color of Heroes", Anju Pictures is also thinking about whether the new movie "The King of Kings" planned by itself should keep up with the filming schedule.

Anju Film Conference Room.

Wang Hongbin, who is the director, said: "I really don't understand, what kind of medicine is sold in Lin Yang's gourd, and choosing a box office poison Zhou Zecheng is not long-sighted, but what is the matter with the artist Yang Da we resigned." “

Zhang Hao said: "Does this mean that Lin Yang wants to provoke us and want to deliberately disgust us?"

Wang Hongbin shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang, even if it is Zhou Cheng, who is poison at the box office, I think it is better than Yang Da, and it is difficult for Yang Da, who is in his fifties, to set off any storms." “

When negotiating with Yang Da at that time, many veterans of the company considered taking care of Yang Da's face, but Wang Hongbin didn't think so, and his face couldn't be eaten, and he really had to admit it when he was older. Therefore, Wang Hongbin directly asked Yang Da to make concessions on the issue of contract renewal. didn't care about Yang Da's self-esteem at all. This hurt Yang Da so much that Yang Da did not choose to renew his contract with Anju Pictures.

However, Anju Pictures later acquiesced to Wang Hongbin's approach, feeling that with Yang Da's age, it doesn't matter to the company anymore. It doesn't have much of an impact.

It turned out later that Yang Da was indeed in the situation of being completely marginalized in the film and television industry, and no film and television company even asked Yang Da for an audition until the director. If it weren't for Lin Yang's public casting this time, Wang Hongbin even felt that Yang Da might have faded out of the entertainment industry.

Such a lineup even director Wang Shitao does not think so, although Zhou Zecheng and Yang Da are both actors, but Zhou Zecheng's achievements are only limited to TV series, although he has been in the film and television industry for three years, but so far there is no box office results that can be obtained.

Among the three, Ma Feng is still a popular star, but Ma Feng's popularity is only limited to the music world, and Ma Feng does not have any works in the film industry. On the contrary, Zhang Xianbin, Wu Sanyuan and Liu Xiaoyue, who played supporting roles, have a little recognition in the film and television industry with "Crazy Boy", but it is very unrealistic to rely on supporting roles to support the box office of a movie.

Thinking of this, Wang Shitao felt that the best time for the launch of "The King of Kings" had come, and Wang Shitao felt that with this "King of Kings", he could get back his lost face no matter what.

Wang Shitao said: "Dong Zhang, I think we can consider launching our "King of Kings". ”

Listening to Wang Shitao's words, Wang Hongbin said: "Director Wang, isn't it a knife to kill chickens with "The King of Kings" to fight "The True Colors of Heroes"?"

Looking at the popularity of the IP of "Crazy Boy", Anju Pictures has always had the idea of crushing "Crazy Boy", "The King of Kings" is the movie that Anju Pictures is preparing to use to fight with the "Crazy Boy" series, Wang Shitao's original intention was to throw it out when Lin Yang Studio launched the third "Crazy Boy" series of movies, but Wang Shitao did not wait for Lin Yang's studio's third "Crazy Boy", but waited for the news that Lin Yang was preparing to shoot "The True Color of Heroes".

On the lineup, "The King of Kings" uses two first-line film and television heroes and a heroine in the first-line film and television circles in Xiangjiang, which tells the story of two men who have grievances and hatreds because of a woman.

In terms of story complex, Wang Shitao added a lot of fighting plots to this movie, Long Qi is the beginning of the story, the three heroines grew up together when they were young, and finally joined the gang together to serve the gang together, and then because of the heroine's series of fighting operations,......

It can be said that the whole storyline, Wang Shitao changed his previous routine, and just highlighted a cool plot, which was originally intended to be used to snipe the movies of the "Crazy Boy" series, but now Lin Yang has stopped filming the "Crazy Boy" series of movies, but Lin Yang is no longer shooting on the IP of "Crazy Boy". So Wang Shitao wants to use this movie to fight "The True Color of Heroes".

The original shooting date of this movie was in the second half of the year, and at the same time, due to the investment of nearly 100 million yuan, Wang Shitao intended to focus on the Lunar New Year files in the mainland.

"I don't think it's necessary, "The True Color of Heroes" is a movie for Lin Yang to entertain himself, let him go!"

"yes, I don't think there's any need to disrupt the company's plans with such a lineup. The director and director destined Lin Yang's movie to be an unpopular movie. ”

......

As for whether the film will be filmed, most of the decisions are still in the hands of Zhang Hao and director Wang Hongbin. And Zhang Hao has the absolute right to speak, and after the internal discussion of Anju Pictures, everyone has seen Zhang Hao.

Wang Hongbin, like everyone else, felt that there was no need to take such a movie to fight Lin Yang. But Zhang Hao has a different idea in his heart, although the truth has warned him countless times not to compete with Lin Yang again, but Zhang Hao, who has been crushed by Lin Yang in his heart, can't get over this hurdle.

Although the overall situation of his contest with Lin Yang has been decided, and his comprehensive strength is not destined to be Lin Yang's opponent, Zhang Hao's heart is still eager to really defeat Lin Yang once. Listening to everyone's opinions, Zhang Hao asked Wang Shitao: "Director Wang, are you really sure that "The King of Kings" can crush "The True Color of Heroes" this time?"
