Bu Tao knew Fengxiang Film and Television's determination this time.

The budget of the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy has reached a staggering 500 million.

This has created a super record in the history of Chinese films.

Not to mention ordinary police movies, it is some movies that claim to have found Hollywood to produce special effects, and the investment cost is not so much.

Of course, 500 million is to make three films, not one.

But such a plot-based movie is almost 170 million each, and the cost is still very high.

The main expenditure is definitely on the actors' salaries.

Except for the first part, which only has 3 actor-level actors, the other two are all 5 actors.

Even if there are protagonists and supporting roles among them, it is definitely impossible for the salary to only give a few million to others.

Generally speaking, the actors of Han Chen and Superintendent Huang will appear in the three dramas of the two actors, although many of them are performed in the form of memories, but as long as they are acted, they have to be paid.

After three plays, at least the two of them will get 30 million.

The two most important actors, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, starred in the first teenage film, about 5 million is enough, but the second part has to be given at least 20 million, and the third part has to be given 10 million.

In addition, there are Ni Yongxiao and Mary in the first part, Yang Xiner and Mary in the second and third parts, and Yang Jinrong in the third part...... Which of these is 10 million less?

When the salary of an actor in a movie can reach an astonishing seventy or eighty million, or even hundreds of millions, the pressure of a director can be imagined.

Generally speaking, the more actors are paid, the less money will be used to produce movies and TV series, which will greatly affect the quality of movies and TV series, and thus become bad movies.

But if you don't have a big star to join, the audience won't even be interested in walking into the cinema.

So it's a dilemma.

Now Fengxiang Film and Television did not make Bu Tao embarrassed on this.

The total budget of 500 million is enough for him to make any combination and selection, and the cost of the movie will not exceed the standard.

And the two teachers, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, did not have any restrictions on the box office of the movie, but asked him to shoot the script well and shoot it wonderfully.

When he met such a boss, Bu Taona was really grateful.

So he gnawed on the script at home for two months in a row before finally starting to form a crew and invite actors to audition.

For fear that he wouldn't be able to suppress the scene, Shen Huan also came over in person.

How much support is this?

Bu Tao secretly swore that he must shoot this drama well, not for anything else, but for their trust in him, he must be serious and serious, even if he offends those actor-level actors, he will not hesitate to do so.

"Director, Mr. Lu, the first Mr. Fei Qingyang is here!"

"Okay, I'll be right away. ”

Bu Tao stood up and smiled at Shen Huan: "It's obvious that I'm going to audition for someone else, why do I feel like I'm in the exam room?"

"That's because you value the film so much that you don't want it to be poorly done. Shen Huan also stood up and walked outside, "Fei Qingyang is a very good actor, let's take a look at his performance first!"

"Good!"

Bu Tao took a deep breath and went to a room next to him with Shen Huan.

The room is about 20 square meters in size, and in addition to a few chairs, there is a camera at work.

This is to prepare for the tidbits.

If the actor is not selected, then these scenes about him, will be deleted.

Standing in the room is the tall and handsome actor Fei Qingyang, who is also a friend of Shen Huan, Shen Huan also wrote him a song "Thank You for Your Love" before, and now it ranks first in all singles sales charts!

Seeing the two of them coming in, Fei Qingyang showed a smile, "Hello Director, hello Teacher Lu!"

"Teacher Fei, you're polite. ”

Bu Tao shook hands with him and sat down, "Your assistant only gave him half an hour, so let's start?"

"Leave them alone, these people are on a terrible display all day long. Fei Qingyang waved his hand, "If it doesn't work for half an hour, it's an hour, and if it doesn't work for an hour, it's two hours, anyway, I'm going to spend it here today until the two of you are satisfied!"

His slightly scoundrel words made Shen Huan couldn't help but smile, "Brother Yang, don't be cruel yet, if you go out in ten minutes, I'll see what you do!"

"Cut, is it possible?" Fei Qingyang glanced at Shen Huan.

Immediately, the little assistant next to him handed him a script line.

Bu Tao explained when he watched it: "Teacher Fei, please perform this scene, if you don't understand anything, you can ask us." ”

"Good!"

Fei Qingyang sat down and began to look at it seriously.

On the script lines given to him by the assistant, there is also a description of the personality traits of Senior Inspector Liu Jianming, as well as his true identity.

Although all of them were less than 100 words, Fei Qingyang read them very carefully.

He closed his eyes as he watched.

Then I opened my eyes again and continued to look.

Ten minutes later, he stood up.

Fei Qingyang first walked around the room twice, and then took a serious step, so that his whole momentum came out.

When he stood upright, Fei Qingyang began to perform.

Before he could speak, a hint of gloom, a hint of longing, and a hint of trepidation appeared in his eyes.

"Give me a chance!" Fei Qingyang looked at the air, his voice trembling a little: "I want to be a good person." ”

When he spoke, Fei Qingyang's hand was clenched tightly, as if he wanted to seize the slightest opportunity.

If you look closer, you can also find that Fei Qingyang's eyes are slightly red, which is obviously a sign of emotion.

It took a full minute for his tense state to completely relax.

"Good!"

Bu Tao couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "Teacher Fei, you performed very well!"

Fei Qingyang smiled, "What does Teacher Lu think?"

Shen Huan has been reminiscing about Andy and Fei Qingyang's performances in his heart, and finds that he can't tell who is better.

However, Andy's acting skills have never been the best, which also shows that Fei Qingyang is really the weakest of the six actors.

But he and Andy have another thing in common, that is, both of them are very handsome, and they are positive characters at first glance, the kind of righteous and awe-inspiring, which is much better than a villain like Ma Xing.

Ma Xing didn't play a bad guy when he was young, and it stands to reason that he can still control the role of Han Chen.

The reason why Ma Xing was not invited this time is because of his face, and now the national audience wants to laugh when they see it, so there is no way to let him play Han Chen.

On the contrary, Yan Yu is a person with a fierce face who is very suitable for playing Han Chen.

So even if Yan Yu was still in the filming of "Yue Prison 2", Shen Huan borrowed him for a day.

Thoughts retracted.

Shen Huan also gave Fei Qingyang a thumbs up, "I also think Brother Yang, your performance is very good, and it has a good taste for the character!"

For the role of Liu Jianming, it is better to find a better actor, but if you really can't find it, then Fei Qingyang is more than enough.

At least Fei Qingyang's performance is decent, and it will definitely not be bad.

This is equivalent to guaranteeing Liu Jianming.

Hearing Shen Huan's praise, Fei Qingyang was also very happy.

Because Shen Huan's approval usually represents the approval of Teacher Chu Liuxiang.

Although Fei Qingyang didn't see the complete script, maybe Teacher Chu Liuxiang chose the actors with such fanfare, can it be bad?

It must be a blockbuster!

After being happy, he chatted with Shen Huan for a few more words and then withdrew.

There are still many actors waiting outside to prepare for auditions, and he can't occupy too much time.

Fei Qingyang is well-known in the circle for being a good person, of course he understands these details!
