Chapter 220: In and Out of the Play (4)
This is quite normal. Huang Bo playing this kind of marginalized little person is a must.
It's a pity that Huang Bo's schedule is not enough.
He was filming "The Man Caught by the Light", and he really couldn't pull away.
Since Huang Bo has no schedule, Peng Hui's second candidate is Shanzheng.
However......
Shan Zheng is filming "Embarrassing Mother", and it will not be finished until the end of June at the earliest.
And after filming, it has to be edited, produced, and special effects......
Anyway, there is not a month or two of time that can't be tossed.
Peng Hui didn't want to drag it out.
"Manslaughter" is best released at the end of this year.
Peng Hui doesn't want his film to be cannon fodder for next year's Spring Festival.
Next year, that is, the Spring Festival of 2020, will be the first large-scale dark period since the opening of domestic films.
In such a situation, it is obviously not necessary to put his film into that period to be released in order to earn a good reputation.
When "a bat" breaks out, the film will also be released, and it won't delay too much time, just right.
So it is simply impossible to drag on for two months.
Xiao Yang can too.
Although Xiao Yang looks a little old, he is indeed an authentic post-80s generation.
And the actor Li Weijie is also an old man in his forties.
Old-looking is a good thing.
In fact, at the beginning, the actor's eldest daughter, that is, the mediocre character, the producer planned to use Chen Chong's daughter.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Chong joined this play.
But later, after Peng Hui took over, this candidate naturally fell to Xiaotong.
Xiaotong is still very happy to be able to receive the role of such a play.
After all, this drama can be regarded as a movie with Peng Hui "sprinkling dog food".
Cough......
In this play, Su Cha played by Peng Hui has a mediocre attempt scene played by ** Xiaotong.
The two were originally boyfriend and girlfriend.
It is natural for such scenes to be filmed.
On the contrary, if this mediocre character is someone else, it is easy to be used to make a fuss.
This is also the reason why Chen Chong didn't say anything in the end.
The film soon entered the preparatory period.
Actually, the rest is easy to say.
The main thing is the scene.
Because it is a remake of an Indian movie, if it is copied, it will inevitably not be released.
The basic point is that this is not possible at home.
The sense of disobedience is too strong.
That......
What to do?
Peng Hui thought about it and simply put the background in Thailand.
Thailand is good.
Why do domestic movies like to shoot in Thailand in the past two years?
It is because this is to "scandalize" foreign countries.
However, in terms of language, it is inevitable that there will be a very headache.
It's a movie after all.
You can't let the film appear in Chinatown, right?
So Thai is inevitable.
But this is a domestic movie after all, so Chinese is also a must.
But Chinese and Thaiwen appeared in the same movie at the same time......
After thinking about it, Peng Hui decided to ignore the problem.
This is quite normal.
Knowing that copying it will not be able to pass the trial in China, and deliberately making a full drama Chinese in order to take care of the national conditions, is that a sense of discord full?
So the best way to do this is to have some characters who are Thai at first glance and use Thai.
Some of the main characters are in Chinese.
In this way, even if there are some bugs, it will not hurt.
In fact, for any movie, the pre-preparation time is very cumbersome.
The producer is looking for Ma Xue.
Speaking of this Ma Xue, she is a professional Korean entertainment god.
Interestingly, this Ma Xue is also the chief producer of "Weather Forecast" directed and starred by Xiao Yang before.
Belong to the people who are trusted by the producers.
Of course, as a director, Peng Hui has a lot of salary.
As an actor, although he is the third male, he is actually a man.
It's the truth.
In the whole movie, he is absolutely one.
The actor Xiao Yang is the second time.
The heroine Zhang Junning is three times.
Chen Chong is four.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the only attraction of this drama was Peng Hui as the director, it would not have attracted nearly 100 million investment.
Yes, the cost of this drama is only directed by Peng Hui, which has attracted more than 100 million investments.
If it weren't for the fact that the volume of this drama is really small, I'm afraid the cost of the whole drama would exceed 500 million!
In the final calculation, of the production cost of 170 million, Peng Hui personally invested 60 million, and the remaining investors invested 110 million.
Compared with the previous "Beneficiary", this "Manslaughter" has attracted more attention.
After all, there are too many "stalks" in this play.
**Girlfriend, and Zhang Junning's third collaboration.
The actor is Xiao Yang.
Supporting actress Chen Chong.
and many other factors constitute the situation in which this drama has attracted attention.
also thought that the news of this drama was revealed little by little, and the frequent meetings between Peng Hui and Zhang Junning were not cared about.
Don't say you didn't get anything.
Even if something is really filmed, the two can be said to have studied the script before filming.
I have to say that Zhang Junning's mind is also known to her agent.
It's impossible to hide this kind of thing from her agent.
Although she had a headache, after seeing that Zhang Junning had indeed obtained a rare and good resource, her agent pretended not to know.
will even take the initiative to cover for the two.
It has to be said that when a person really wants to do something, sometimes there will be some unexpected help.
The behind-the-scenes cast of the drama "Manslaughter" is not the personnel often used by Peng Hui himself.
In other words, in addition to the core personnel, some other behind-the-scenes personnel were sent by the producer.
Don't think that the producers will only come and compete actors.
Some of the positions behind the scenes are also what producers like to occupy.
