Chapter 070: Dilemma
Thankfully, this is not the case.
As long as she starts to audition, then in this case, there should not be many actors of the same age who can still snatch their roles from her in terms of strength alone.
Because, she was already a movie queen two years ago.
But one thing Jiang Shuyan didn't know was that in fact, Quan Shimin gave Lin Huiyan the same test topic as her.
It's all about this international classic crime movie "Pulp Fiction" directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and others.
Lin Huiyan has also seen it, but she only remembers the director and the male lead actor and the general plot of this movie, and I don't remember anything else, so it is definitely impossible for her to perform on the spot.
Kwon Si-min finally asked her to choose the classic clip of any classic movie, so Lim Hye-yeon finally acted in a scene from the American noir romance movie "Casablanca".
Of course, the acting is still quite good, otherwise there would be no small hook in the back.
But......
If there is another actor at the same time, who is also a newcomer, but without any advance preparation, he can not only restore an arbitrary plot of a classic movie that is immediately pointed out and recognized by the whole world, but even play some of his own unique understanding and interpretation on the basis of the original.
So, who would you choose?
It took almost a second of hesitation for Kwon Simin to make a final decision.
Finally, he crossed out the fourth name and circled the fifth name again, with a triangle underneath.
When Jiang Shuyan walked out of it, Kong Yuanshan had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"How?"
Jiang Shuyan thought for a while and said, "It should be, you can celebrate in advance!"
Kong Yuanshan smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and went to drive first.
That night, Kong Yuanshan received a call from Quan Shimin in person, this role, Jiang Shuyan.
And the signing of the contract is scheduled for the next day.
Jiang Shuyan will play the heroine of "Twelve Enchantresses", which is already a certainty.
As for Lin Huiyan, after all, her strength and background are there, and she has also shown her strength to Jiang Shuyan, so if she didn't get this role, she must be unwilling to accommodate another role, otherwise where would she put her face.
Sure enough, less than a week after Jiang Shuyan set the role of the heroine of "The Twelve Enchantresses", I heard that Lin Huiyan had confirmed to participate in the heroine of the costume drama "Beauty Illustrated", another work by a newly emerging director just invested by M.K Film and Television.
It's a TV series, not an online drama.
is different from "Twelve Enchantresses", which has twelve main female characters, of which there are two that are comparable to the main heroine's role, and the proportion of the role is equivalent to three "heroines" plus two "female second", plus there are still seven female characters who have to be given a certain role, and it is impossible to think about the role of the main heroine being too prominent.
Although the director of "Beauty Illustrated" is a young rookie, he already has a good work, and the male protagonist is also invited by Liu Yucheng, a second-tier actor who is already quite famous, and the producer is also a big giant film and television company M.K.
And M.K obviously regards "Beauty Illustrated" as his daughter, and the role has not yet been decided, and the publicity has already taken precedence.
As for "The Twelve Demon Queens", probably in the days when Kong Yuanshan and Kwon Simin first came into contact, M.K's official mentioned it twice, and then there was no more, probably not too much attention to this drama from the beginning.
In this comparison, in addition to the fact that "The Twelve Enchantresses" may have certain advantages in terms of script quality, in any other aspect, "The Twelve Enchantresses" is far inferior to "Beauty Illustrated".
This must be false to say that Lin Huiyan didn't want to deliberately press her, probably because "The Twelve Demon Queens" suffered a setback and lost face, and she was ready to get her face back in another way.
For example, losing a role in a drama that is already "not good", and then taking on a role in a better drama.
Of course, Jiang Shuyan doesn't care much about this, it's better than her, it's worse than her, acting well is, whoever wants to compare with her is just comparing himself with himself.
Originally, Jiang Shuyan and Kong Yuanshan thought that this drama was really safe, and they just waited for it to start.
In the end, it still didn't go so well.
The actors have been almost booked one after another, and the construction of the set is already underway. Kwon Simin originally planned to start the machine in two months.
However, a month later, when I submitted the second application to M.K., something went wrong.
The original amount of funds was suddenly reduced by half for no reason.
At first, the finance thought it was a mistake, but when I called to ask, I realized that this was the meaning of the above.
It is unknown whether "The Twelve Enchantresses" can have results, and the loss will be great if the investment is too large, and it is an online drama, so it does not require too high a cost.
If it was said at the beginning that it would not give too much financial investment, it would be easy to say, at least there is room for adjustment.
But now that the actors have been decided, all the preliminary preparations have been put into operation, and even how to use every penny has been calculated, and then told them that the funds have been suppressed.
"The current situation is that either the start-up time will be delayed indefinitely, or new investment funds will be found as soon as possible to fill the large gap that has been compressed. Kong Yuanshan said, leaning on the sofa with his hands in his arms, with a solemn expression.
"How big is this gap?"
"Five billion. ”
Jiang Shuyan frowned, a gap of 5 billion, nearly 30 million yuan, if this was placed two years ago, that is, her salary for a movie and TV series, but now......
Although it can't be said to be a sky-high amount, it can be quite a lot.
"If this situation appeared earlier, I would have been able to make up for at least half of the gap by investing in my own name, but I am now on the side of "Pink Secret" is still filming, not only does I need a large amount of capital investment, but I also need to ensure enough liquidity to deal with various problems that may arise at any time, as well as post-production publicity points, etc., and then I have to set aside a sum to ensure that you need it at any time, not to mention 5 billion, I can't draw 500 million free liquidity now. ”
Jiang Shuyan was silent for a moment and asked, "There should still be other investment introduction channels, right?"
"At the beginning, because of the funds invested by M.K and Quan Shimin's own personal investment, coupled with the friendship and sponsorship of several friends in Quan Shimin's personal circle, it was already sufficient; and after all, it was just an online drama first, and it was a fantasy theme, and the placement of advertisements was not easy to plant, and there were no big stars to join, and the director was transferred from other industries, and the investors could not see the tangible benefits, even if they invested, they would not be willing to invest much, millions and tens of millions, which is simply a drop in the bucket. ”
"What does the director say?
He said he would talk to M.K. again and try his best to see if he could get new investment to fill the big gap as soon as possible, but there was a high possibility of a delay. Kong Yuanshan said.
Jiang Shuyan nodded, "This is also something that can't be helped." ”
Kong Yuanshan sighed, and his expression suddenly became a little depressed, "Will you blame me for taking such a play that is not very reliable in itself, and there is a risk of being pounced on under normal filming, and I almost lost the role in the front, and I finally got it back, but now I have a problem before I start the film." ”
