Chapter 596: An actor's selfishness
"Lin Dong, what do you think of my notebook?" Fei Xing asked anxiously.
Because he was not sure, and he couldn't guess Lin Xiaoguang's thoughts, when he said this, he subconsciously used honorifics.
"Very good!"
Lin Xiaoguang paused, and said with a smile: "It's an honor for you to give me this story." ”
"Well, then you ......," Fei Xing said with a look of surprise.
"Hey, buddy, you're older than me, you don't need yours, if you are old, I still have to call you brother. ”
Lin Xiaoguang stood up, filled the two teacups again, handed Fei Xing a cigarette, and said, "What is the cost of your own estimate?"
"Well, about 12 million. Fei Xing hesitated for a moment and pressed the budget to the lowest line.
Hearing the number Fei Xing said, Lin Xiaoguang didn't speak, but silently lit a cigarette.
In Lin Xiaoguang's view, the story in the script of "Dragon's Back Wall" mainly takes place in the courtroom, there are almost no big scenes, and there is no need for special effects.
But Lin Xiaoguang also knows very well that if this movie does not have stars and good actors, it will be difficult to set off heat in the market and get a good box office.
Therefore, if this movie wants to succeed in the market, it must still find some actors with acting skills and high popularity to join the group.
Lin Xiaoguang calculated in his heart that if this film invited two big names at random, the cost might exceed 20 million, not including the cost of publicity and distribution.
However, after learning the amount of cost that Fei Xing was looking forward to, Lin Xiaoguang immediately had a bottom in his heart, and replied: "In this way, you don't have to worry about money, I will be the producer of this movie, save the crew for you, and you can be your director with peace of mind." ”
"I, I ......" Fei Xing was a little fragmented, unable to speak with his mouth open, he really didn't expect Lin Xiaoguang to agree so happily.
"That's it, you are the director of this movie, as the producer of this film, I will give you useful suggestions on the direction of the project, in addition, I have more appeal to the actors, and I will bring you help in the resources of actors. ”
"When it comes to creation, I will also give you full freedom, I will not tell you exactly how to write, how to change, let alone interfere with the creation, I will only ask big conceptual questions. ”
"For example, I'll ask you questions about how the characters are created to give you a better look at the project. ”
Lin Xiaoguang said, stuffed the script into a drawer, stepped around the room twice, smoked, and continued to bomb: "As for your director's salary, I will let people communicate with you tomorrow, if you don't want to take money, you can participate in the box office share as an investor, what do you think of this plan?"
"Ah, Lin Dong, okay, it's just too good!" he came back to his senses and finally burst out with a sentence.
To be honest, it was the first time for Fei Xing to meet a producer who knew how to think about the director so well, and Lin Xiaoguang was worthy of being a film director, so he could understand the thoughts of his peers so much, and without any hesitation, he agreed to Lin Xiaoguang's plan.
"How long does the cycle take?" Lin Xiaoguang asked again.
"Me, I'm going to shoot for four or five months. "It's not a weak way, for fear that Lin Xiaoguang will turn his face.
"Four or five months ......"
Lin Xiaoguang groaned for a while, Fang shook his head, and said bluntly: "No, the cycle of four or five months is too long, three months at most." ”
Finally, a big guy is willing to invest in his own movie, for fear that the cooked duck will fly away, so he is willing to talk back, three months is three months, and he nodded and said, "Okay Lin Dong, I will listen to you." ”
Lin Xiaoguang continued: "Then you go back and make a plan for me, be more detailed." Also, how to choose the role, do you have an idea now?"
Hearing Lin Xiaoguang's question, Fei Xing hesitated for a moment, and was a little embarrassed to speak.
Because according to Fei Xing's own ideas, he plans to invite Aaron Kwok to play the male No. 1 Tong Tao, Sun Honglei to play the male No. 2 Lin Tai, and the female No. 1 Zhou Li to be played by Yu Nan.
Fei Xing was really embarrassed to open his mouth, afraid that if he said it truthfully, he would be scared away by Lin Xiaoguang.
Lin Xiaoguang guessed his thoughts, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, what do you think, you can say it, it's still unknown whether we can invite them here." ”
Hearing Lin Xiaoguang say this, Fei Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said bluntly: "Lin Dong, I think so in my heart, male number one Tong Tao, I hope to invite Aaron Kwok to play." ”
Lin Xiaoguang said in his heart that although Aaron Kwok is a Golden Horse actor, he does not have any box office appeal at present, so his salary will not exceed 5 million, but should be between 2 million and 4 million.
"What about the male number two?" Lin Xiaoguang asked again.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang did not object, Fei Xing continued: "The second male I want to invite Brother Sun Honglei, I especially like his "Conquest". ”
Sun Honglei's acting skills are good, and he is also well-known, so there should be no big problem for him to play Lin Tai, a rich man.
However, Lin Xiaoguang doesn't like Sun Honglei very much, the so-called man who relies on women to take the position and kicks people away, and Sun Honglei has also been in front of media reporters many times, saying that when Li Xiaoran was filming "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", he ate leeks and filmed kissing scenes with him, and he didn't want to see her in his heart.
"Female No. 1, I want to invite Yu Nan, Lin Dong, these are my personal assumptions, as for how to decide in the end, it is up to you to decide. ”
After Lin Xiaoguang pondered for a moment, he smiled and asked again, "Do you want to hear my thoughts?"
Fei Xing said respectfully: "Of course, Lin Dong, you can say it, I will listen to it." ”
"I think so, this male No. 2 Lin Tai, how about letting Liang Jiahui replace Sun Honglei?"
I have to say that Lin Xiaoguang's proposal is a good explanation of what professionalism is to non-banking.
Leung Jiahui is a real actor with a thousand faces, playing the emperor is the emperor, and playing the farmer is a peasant.
Zhou Chaoxian and Big D, Xu Legong and Li Wenbin are also underworld leaders and police bosses, but they give people a completely different feeling.
Moreover, what convinces Ren even more is that Leung Jiahui's comedy is not inconsistent, and his acting skills are simply not too strong.
If Liang Jiahui, the actor who has become a father, can play Lin Tai, it will definitely be more convincing than Sun Honglei's performance.
Fei Xing said excitedly: "Great, if Lin Dong can invite Mr. Liang Jiahui to play the role of Lin Tai, it will definitely be the icing on the cake." ”
Lin Xiaoguang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "As for the female No. 1 lawyer Zhou, I plan to let Zuo Xiaoqing act, do you have any opinions?"
Left light ......
Hearing the name "Zuo Xiaoqing", the smile on Fei Xing's face instantly became a little stiff, because he felt that Zuo Xiaoqing, an actress, was a good-looking vase, but it looked too gentle, and she looked like a good wife and mother, and it was difficult to play the feeling of a strong woman like Lawyer Zhou.
Originally, Fei Xing wanted to refuse Lin Xiaoguang's proposal, but after thinking about it, he felt that Lin Xiaoguang and Zuo Xiaoqing were likely to have an ambiguous relationship in private, so he took the initiative to put forward the idea of letting Zuo Xiaoqing serve as the heroine of the movie, after all, it is too normal for a film and television tycoon like Lin Xiaoguang to have an improper relationship with an actress in the circle......
Seeing that Fei Xing was silent and didn't speak, Lin Xiaoguang asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Fei Xing reacted and said hurriedly: "No, no opinion, Lin Dong, you continue." ”
Although Fei Xing did not explicitly say that he was dissatisfied with Zuo Xiaoqing's casting, Lin Xiaoguang also guessed from his expression and reaction that he was unhappy in his heart.
However, Lin Xiaoguang doesn't care what he thinks, for so many years, he has always chosen actors to serve the movie, as long as it is a decision he makes, let alone the current non-line, even Huang Zhonglei back then It was difficult to convince him.
And this time, Lin Xiaoguang chose to let Zuo Xiaoqing play the heroine, purely out of consideration for the movie, and definitely not for any so-called private feelings.
Even if it is really for personal reasons, Lin Xiaoguang has also considered whether the role and actor are suitable or not, so he will make such a decision, and he will never be allowed to oppose it.
At least for now, Fei Xing has no qualifications to bargain with Lin Xiaoguang.
Immediately afterwards, in the expectant eyes of Fei Xing, Lin Xiaoguang unhurriedly lit a cigarette, took a puff, slowly spit it out, and said quietly: "Do you think, can I, Lin Xiaoguang, play the male number one Tong Tao?"
