Chapter 757: Casting
The success of "Goodbye Ex 3" and "Charlotte", few people know how much effort Chen Ziang has made, they only know that Chen Ziang is a famous screenwriter, and nothing else.
He is neither an executive producer nor an actor.
Movies have very high requirements for directors and actors.
To make a movie with the strength and method of making a TV series is self-defeating.
The audience spends money to sit in the cinema, not to watch TV series.
The free public version of the Internet, readers don't spend money to watch it, and they spray it if they are unhappy.
After it was put on the shelves, it cost a few cents to see the unpleasant places, and those people sprayed the rivers backwards, and there was no light day and night, and the sky collapsed.
Chen Ziang first entered the film industry, he has no qualifications, not only the insiders are skeptical, but after the senior fans know, they will also wait and see, if the reputation is good, and the people around them or the Internet have high evaluations, they will be willing to pay money to enter the cinema.
Chen Ziang didn't care what he thought inside and outside the circle, and concentrated on his own business.
He returned home after three weeks of running around the world, including Iceland.
But after returning to China, he did not go back to Youzhou or Lin'an directly, but continued to run to the Western Regions.
He made this film not only in China, but also in North America and Europe.
Since it is to be exported, the framing naturally cannot be without its own country.
This is a kind of propaganda, and after a foreigner sees it, it is possible to set off to see the filming location of this film now, or in a few years.
Chinese like to travel to other countries and contribute GDP to others, so why can't Chen Ziang create some opportunities to attract foreigners to travel?
It wasn't until a month and three days after going out that Chen Ziang and his team returned to Youzhou.
And at this time, the National Day is also approaching.
"Why come back in time for the National Day, don't take advantage of the National Day to leave your work and relax outside?" Wang Yu, Xu Ran and others picked up Chen Ziang's team in the parking lot behind the Shizifeng Science and Technology Building.
Li Qiuting was not in Youzhou, but went to Hengdian Film and Television City to shoot the third part of "Huanzhu Gege".
"Everyone is homesick, those who want to come back to see their wives see their wives, those who watch their girlfriends look at their girlfriends, and they look at their children. Chen Ziang carried a large bag and a small bag.
"It's you who think about your wife and children, right?" said Xu Ran with a smile.
Chen Ziang smiled and didn't answer.
A group of people carried things upstairs and went back to the office first.
After entering the company, Chen Ziang immediately summoned Li Hui, Ah Shuo and others to check the progress of the work he arranged for them, and then arrange the next work by the way.
"That actress in the UK, how did Knightley give a reply?" asked Li Hui.
This movie is very important to him, so Li Hui, a veteran, left other jobs and came over to concentrate on serving Chen Ziang.
The British actress he was talking about was called Keira Knightley.
Knightley became famous at a young age, she was born in Yeluzi, she taught herself to hone her acting skills, and is an actress that Chen Ziang likes very much.
Her acting school was on set. The directors who have worked with her have praised her for her vitality, self-confidence, and "star" appearance.
In recent years, she has been the most appealing face in the British film industry.
However, she had dyslexia, social phobia and a strong sense of financial insecurity.
In her own words, she's just a hard-working actress from Teddington with a lot of luck.
She's also an easily distracting interviewee. There is a kind of fresh beauty in her gestures, unguarded, not sophisticated, but she knows very well what kind of questions should be answered and what kind of questions she should never talk about.
"Mr. Chen, it's a bit difficult. Li Hui said a little apologetically: "The other party thought about it for half a month, and finally rejected our invitation." ”
Chen Ziang was surprised: "Didn't the salary be negotiated?"
Li Hui hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Almost, the price we opened is already one-third higher than her price in China, but the agent of the other family asked for half of the price, so ......"
Chen Ziang asked, "Have you been in contact with Knightley herself?"
"Well, Knightley we've been in contact with us too, and judging by the way she looks, she's not very interested. Li Hui said: "But I think she is very willing to pay a third of the premium, but when it comes to salary, it is her agent who talks about it, and she doesn't care." Are we going to pay half the premium?"
Chen Ziang waved his hand: "Forget it, one-third of the premium is the bottom line, I'd rather earn less than do this wrong." We are not used to domestic actors, and foreign actors, even in the current situation, we can't get used to being too powerful. ”
Boyu Film and Television's film and television works have never been accustomed to actors.
When casting, it looks suitable, a fixed price, and love doesn't come.
Moreover, the salary is also surprisingly low.
Much lower than its peers.
For example, in other crews, this actor may get a salary of 1 million, but in a certain crew of Boyu Film and Television, 500,000 yuan will be up to the sky.
If you don't come, Boyu Film and Television is not uncommon, look at the inside and outside of the film and television city, people who come to the dream of star-hunting, a brick can be smashed into a group.
Too many young people want to be stars because they think stars are glamorous and rich.
In this way, can China be short of actors?
What China lacks is only top-notch actors, or actors whose acting skills have reached the excellent line.
At the beginning, it was really difficult for Boyu Film and Television to find actors like this.
There are people inside and outside the circle who say that Boyu Film and Television is slamming the door, and there are people who say that Boyu Film and Television is greedy for money.
But the fact is that Boyu's film and television works can make the actor's popularity soar.
You can't make money in Boyu Film and Television, but you can gain popularity.
Then go somewhere else to earn money, and you don't suffer.
Insiders are now a little accustomed to the attitude and conditions of Boyu Film and Television looking for actors.
"We've been in contact with Raumi Rapace, and they're quite willing. Li Hui said again.
Raumi Rapace?
Chen Zi frowned slightly, he had never been in contact with this actor, but he heard that she smoked and drank alcohol, and she didn't learn well since she was a child.
But as an actress, she lives up to her name.
It's just that Chen Ziang didn't want to choose this role because she was a Swedish actress.
Sweden, on the other hand, is a country that is very anti-China.
"Pass it, don't want the Swedes. Chen Ziang disagreed.
Li Hui nodded: "In our movie, this character is British, and Swedes can't speak authentic British English." ”
"Then who else is there to choose?" Ah Shuo couldn't help but ask, he was just responsible for assisting Li Hui and obeying Li Hui's arrangement.
Chen Ziang rubbed his temples and asked for a while, "Did Watson touch it?"
Li Hui nodded, and shook her head again: "We have only contacted her cousin, well, her cousin is her assistant and agent, with multiple identities." ”
"What did the other party say?" asked Chen Ziang.
Li Hui said: "Her cousin said that she is not keen on acting, and she may not be able to audition. ”
Chen Ziang had a headache.
Emma Watson became famous at the age of nine and is one of the goddesses in the minds of British men.
Now she has become a slim and popular star in the fashion industry.
When he became popular, Watson retired bravely and did not continue acting, but chose to complete his studies at Brown University, one of the Ivy League schools in the United States.
Although she graduated, she still continued her career outside acting, acting is already a side job, and she is taking the road of a talented female star.
Off the screen, Emma Watson is a smart and proud child, and her childish naivety is revealed when she can't wait to declare her maturity.
What Chen Ziang admires the most is that Emma Watson is one of the representatives of child stars who have not been disabled, and the longer she grows, the more attractive she becomes.
Indeed, Emma Watson is becoming more and more hopelessly beautiful, and every appearance amazes the audience.
Now, she has more of the queen's sharpness in her dignified style, with a touch of red lips, playful and enchanting, not only in the eyes of the British, she is a goddess, but also in the eyes of the Chinese audience.
Chen Ziang flipped out a photo of Emma Watson in his phone.
In the photo, her whole person's breath is fresh and moving, elegant and beautiful, revealing a lovely and seductive charm.
"Hey, boss, do you have a picture of Watson?" Ah Shuo glanced at and asked subconsciously.
Chen Zi raised his head and didn't raise his head: "Knightley's, Laomi's, I have them all, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Chen, this is work, do you think that like you, your mind is full of unbearable pictures?"
Ah Shuo was a little embarrassed, and thought that the boss also liked to collect photos of beautiful women.
"Work hard, I like this actor a lot. Chen Ziang said to Li Hui.
"Okay. Li Hui wrote it down.
Chan will also play a role in this film, but not the main character.
Li Hui also knows that the character played by Chen Ziang is a couple relationship with the heroine.
After a few people talked about work for an hour, Chen Ziang and Li Hui were left in the room.
"Mr. Chen. Li Hui wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ziang looked down at the information.
After a long time, without hearing Li Hui continue to speak, Chen Ziang raised his head and looked puzzled: "What's so unspeakable?
Li Hui's face immediately turned red.
Chen Ziang laughed: "Oh, I know a person with hemorrhoids again, and he is still a big beauty." ”
Li Hui blushed, this boss.
She wanted to run away right away.
Even though he has overcome obstacles and seen a lot of winds and waves with Chen Ziang all the way, Li Hui's face is still a little unbearable in this situation.
"You ......" for a long time, Li Hui was even more speechless.
"Tell me, what's the matter, my mother or who has any instructions?" Chen Ziang said with a smile.
Li Hui has the most contact with Chen Siyu, who represents Shizifeng Technology, and Li Hui herself is also half of Shizifeng Technology, since this movie followed Chen Ziang, she has seen Shi Jia a few times.
"Mr. Shi did tell me a few times. Li Hui plucked up her courage for a while and said with a red face.
"What's the order?" asked Chen Ziang.
Li Hui said: "Mr. Shi said, take care of you, don't provoke other girls." ”
Chen Zi held his head high.
"Did I provoke you just now?" he asked.
Li Hui's face gradually recovered, and said with a smile: "Of course it's not counted, it's useless to provoke, I only worship you, I don't have feelings, and I don't dare to feel it." ”
"Well, got it. Chen Ziang nodded earnestly and said that he had received it.
Li Hui must not know about the top-secret things that happened to him, but he also knows that Chen Ziang is popular and may make mistakes.
After all, there are so many beautiful women around, if this one doesn't come up, that one will come up.
Men, if a beautiful woman takes the initiative, how many don't take the bait?
It's a bastard to have a cheap and don't take advantage of it.
This sentence can be vividly expressed in men.
But this is a man's self-righteousness, so what is the advantage?
Deceive oneself as well as others!
After being busy for a while, Chen Ziang hurried home without waiting for the end of work.
He came back before the National Day, and he really missed his wife and children.
Rushing home before work, he wanted to cook for himself.
When he started cooking, Guan Tongtong also said that he would work overtime and come back later.
Chen Ziang had to continue to wait and not stir-fry first.
Since the last time he knelt down, Guan Tongtong has worked very hard, often working overtime until late before coming back.
This made Chen Ziang very worried, and she was indeed stimulated.
This is what the Guan family wants to see.
If Guan Tongtong doesn't work hard, the Lin family and other competitors may be surpassed.
It's as if she has an airplane now, and the others don't have it, only a private car or a high-speed train.
But if she doesn't fly, the other party will catch up with or even surpass her day and night.
It wasn't until Guan Tongtong said that he was off work and was on the way back from the car that Chen Ziang started cooking.
When Guan Tongtong arrived home, the dishes were ready.
"You made it yourself?" At the dinner table, Guan Tongtong could eat it, and the taste of the nanny's stir-fry was different from Chen Ziang's.
"Well, is it okay?" asked Chen Ziang cautiously.
"It's delicious!" Guan Tongtong had eaten some at the unit, and he was not hungry, but he continued to accompany Chen Ziang to eat.
During the meal, Chen Ziang looked a little preoccupied, and wanted to say something serious, but he couldn't say it, so he had to talk about it.
Guan Tongtong is very smart and can see it, but he is not picky.
From beginning to end, after eating, Chen Ziang didn't speak.
It's just that I'm still a little anxious.
Brushing and washing dishes, he rushed to dry.
After he got it, he accompanied his wife to the backyard for a walk and rest.
After coming back, his wife went upstairs into the bedroom to take a bath, and he hurriedly ran to help his wife put the water.
After the two took a bath, Chen Ziang coaxed his wife to bed.
This time, he worked very hard and took care of Guan Tongtong's feelings.
After giving birth, Guan Tongtong couldn't have sex with Chen Ziang for a while.
When she could, she wasn't in much interest.
Foreplay is enough, and it feels a little.
But tonight, she felt it violently.
After some hard work, Chen Ziang knelt on the bed and looked at his wife.
His wife still didn't take the initiative to mention the matter, Chen Ziang couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "Wife, take the child back on National Day, or ...... You're going over there to watch the kids?"
Although he had the courage to ask, Chen Ziang wanted to see the child, and it was impossible to go with Guan Tongtong.
At least it is impossible for him to face Guan Xinxin and Guan Tongtong together.
Guan Tongtong is willing, he doesn't have this face himself.
"I'll go. After Guan Tongtong had fun, he didn't want to speak.
Chen Ziang chuckled in his heart.
The wife still didn't mention letting him go to see the children.
"I ...... I also want to go back to Lin'an. Chen Ziang lowered his head and said.
In fact, he wanted to say that he wanted to see the child, he missed the child too much.
Yangyang, Nannan, Ke'er, he thinks about it.
Especially Ke'er, until now, her body is still very weak, and she has been focusing on observation and conditioning.
She is uncomfortable, she can't express, and she only cries when she wakes up.
