Chapter 540: Self-Nomination
If you want to talk about the most influential star in China at the moment, it is really Lu Lin, who can attract a lot of attention with his words and deeds, not to mention that there are many media digging up news in this area.
Lu Lin just talked to Song Ge about filming "Dayu Controls the Water", which first circulated within the company, and was immediately known by the entire entertainment industry, and then made headlines in hot searches, and the publicity effect was not ordinary.
Of course, today, when some second- and third-tier artists can frequently appear on the hot search when they show their affection, Lu Lin's new film plans to be on the hot search, and there is nothing to be proud of, but Lu Lin is bombarded with phone calls.
Although I know that most of Longlin Pictures' special effects blockbusters are wholly-owned, there are still some investment companies, and all kinds of second-generation people want to get involved, although most of the calls are made to Song Ge's side, there are still people who can harass Lu Lin. In this regard, he basically refused politely.
After all, now the "Flood Wilderness Series" directed by Lu Lin has created a golden signboard, with more dazzling special effects and fantastic oriental colors, it is as famous as the Marvel Universe in the film industry. Imagine movies like "Avengers 3" and "Avengers 4", which have a high probability of making a lot of money, it is impossible for Marvel and Disney to give up their investment share, and the same is true for Lu Lin.
In one star, the relationship with Lu Lin is acceptable, and he can directly call his private number, such as Andy, who directly said that he wanted to participate in "Dayu Controls the Water", the role is easy to discuss, and the salary is negotiable.
In other words, Andy has really made too many bad movies in recent years, and the reputation of "Chasing the Dragon" in the National Day file is still successful, and the box office appeal is seriously insufficient.
However, some time ago, Andy helped contact many old artists in Xiangjiang to make guest appearances in "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", but it was not good to refuse directly.
The second person to call was Huang Xiaoming. asked Lu Lin if he could give a role, and he could play it with zero pay.
Anyway, Lu Lin was quite surprised to hear this, after all, the sect leader is now famous. Then the other party admitted frankly that now there are fewer and fewer people looking for him to film, and there are fewer good scripts, and he wants to play a role well and save a little reputation.
In other words, Sect Leader Huang still has acting skills. Such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in "The Son of Heaven" and Cheng Dongqing in "The Chinese Partner". Especially the latter, who no longer plays the cool and handsome Huang Sect Master, is really good.
It is precisely because of this role that Hou Yi played by Lu Lin in "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" won the same Golden Rooster Actor, which can be regarded as the fate between the two.
Since then, Huang Xiaoming has also actively approached Lu Lin, although he has not cooperated in the past few years, he has always respected and enthusiastically attached great importance to Lu Lin.
Since Wen Zhang can make various cameos in his movies and give Huang Xiaoming a supporting role, it is not impossible. The relationship between the two is acceptable, and the most important thing is that Sect Leader Huang still has acting skills, but he is too visionary and too self-indulgent when picking dramas.
In addition to these two people, friends from all walks of life in the circle have called, saying that they can come if there is no leading actor or no cameo. The funniest thing is Huang Bo, asking in his hometown dialect, Lu Lin is short of the Jade Emperor, and I think that with his appearance, it should be no problem to play the Jade Emperor.
Lu Lin almost didn't laugh, and replied directly. "I said Brother Bo, you can find a shop and buy two dozen banknotes with the Jade Emperor's head printed on them and compare them yourself, the painting style is different!"
"Hey, I thought that Director Lu had outstanding vision and was different, but I didn't expect to be the same as the world!" Huang Bo sighed.
"Don't talk nonsense, there is something to say!" Lu Lin said bluntly.
"Well, if you don't need me to make a cameo appearance as the Jade Emperor in that play, how about you come to me to play a cameo role?"
Lu Lin asked, "What's the matter, the script is written?"
"Well, even if it is polished, I plan to go to Longlin in the next two days and talk to Mr. Song about investment and issuance!"
The so-called "acting and excellent directing", now that more and more actors are changing careers to become directors, Huang Bo saw that his former good buddies took the director's tube one by one, and he was also a little anxious and eager to try.
"Cheng, you come here with the book, if the script is okay, the investment and distribution on our side are fine. Lu Lin said in a businesslike tone, and then said: "As for the cameo you said, you can go if you don't have many scenes!"
In fact, Huang Bo's debut novel "A Good Show" is not particularly outstanding, and the characters in it are not too outstanding. However, it is related to this, and it is my own investment, so it is not a big deal to make a cameo in the past.
Even if the reputation is average, it is not the same as Lu Lin. Anyway, he now just ensures that the works he directs are not labeled as bad movies. For the filming of "Daughter Country", I am not particularly concerned.
After all, his first identity is a director, and the rest can only be regarded as a hobby.
But for Huang Bo, Lu Lin's cameo is of great significance, the director with the highest box office and the most famous in China, and he has not acted in many film and television dramas, every time he appears on the big screen, it is an extremely rare opportunity for fans who like it. Therefore, Huang Bo firmly believes that Lu Lin's cameo will at least add 100 million to the box office, and his heart will immediately be a lot safer.
"Cheng, then this matter is decided, in other words, you really don't need me to make a cameo? You think I'm not enough alone, I can call Xu Guangtou, Bao Qi, and Ning Hao to ......!"
"What's the matter, the flood version of F4?" Lu Lin laughed.
"Can you play the Four Heavenly Kings, do you have this role in this play?" asked Huang Bo with a smile.
"The Four Heavenly Kings don't have it, but there are a lot of aquatic monsters in this play, you can play the shrimp soldiers and crab generals!" Lu Lin teased.
Huang Bo burst into laughter for a long time, made Lu Lin Duleng, and said: "I said Brother Bo, have you been a little stressed recently, we are in the entertainment industry, there are a lot of depression and moodiness, you need to pay more attention to this mental aspect!"
Huang Bodao: "I'm mentally healthy, so I won't get depression." I'm laughing at what you just said, the four of us are shrimp soldiers and crab generals. I think the bodyguard is very suitable, for example, if you let him put on a lobster shell and then hold a fork on the water, the audience will have to laugh without saying anything!"
When Lu Lin heard his description, his heart moved, not to mention that it was really picturesque, and said: "Hey, seriously, why don't you four come and make a cameo appearance for me, Honghuang Water Aquarium F4, it's absolutely so popular that you have no friends!"
Huang Bodao: "This is too subversive of the image, there should be no problem with the bodyguard, anyway, if you don't pretend to be so, you are so stumbling." Xu Guangtou's dead bald man feels very handsome, and he may not be happy! As for Ning Hao, it's hard to say!"
Lu Lin smiled: "Then you can let him play a handsome water tribe, play a dragon, a pig dragon spirit or something, the kind that calls himself the little dragon king!"
Huang Bo laughed more and more, "Cheng, then let me ask a few of them!"
