Chapter 500: The Question of Candidates (4 More Requests for Support)
In another time and space, the participation of "Infernal Affairs" almost involved the mainstay of the entire Xiangjiang circle.
Needless to say, the four leading actors, even the supporting roles are also popular students and powerful actors in Xiangjiang.
Since "Mansion Gate" has opened the strongest Huaxia TV lineup, then this "Infernal Affairs", Lin Chen wonders if he will be willful again.
In the end, Lin Chen decided that there was no need to be capricious, the actors just needed to find the right ones, and as for the lineup, they were free.
When talking about the issue of filming, Pan Bin directly recommended several suitable actors.
Although the film and television industry in Xiangjiang is at a low bone, it has to be said that there are still a lot of actors in Xiangjiang.
There is a lot of room for Lin Chen to choose.
Looking at the list of several Liu Jianming roles that Pan Bin listed for Lin Chen, Lin Chen directly denied: "I want Liu Tianwang to play the role of Liu Jianming." ”
"Liu Tianwang!"
Pan Bin said: "Mr. Lin, will this cost be too big?"
Pan Bin naturally knows that Lin Chen is poor in money, but a movie is naturally not about having more money, but about having a suitable output ratio.
"Mr. Lin, I know that Chopsticks Pictures is not bad for money. ”
Pan Bin was afraid that Lin Chen didn't understand what he meant, and then said: "This is the first film of our Chopsticks Films, and it is also about the development of Chopsticks Pictures in the future, if the investment is too large and the cost cannot be recovered, it will have a certain impact on Chopsticks Pictures." ”
Lin Chen naturally understood Pan Bin's thoughts.
"No, we're just going to make a big production. ”
Lin Chen said indifferently: "Only big productions can mention the competitiveness of this movie, and the box office return ratio is not considered now." ”
Pan Bin directly wrote 10 million in the book, which is the downturn of Xiangjiang movies, otherwise Liu Tianwang would never be invited for such a price.
Pan Bin said: "I'll contact Liu Tianwang when I turn around, what about the role of Chen Yongren?"
Liu Tianwang must be invited for influence, and as for the role of Chen Yongren, he must find a powerful faction.
The success of "Infernal Affairs" in another time and space is attributed to Chen Yongren played by Tony Leung.
Although this statement is an exaggeration, Tony Leung's acting skills are absolutely or indispensable for the success of this drama, and Tony Leung's robe at various award ceremonies is enough to illustrate the problem.
In terms of this person, Lin Chen said: "Push some of the most powerful actors in Xiangjiang." ”
Since Lin Chen is not capped in production, Pan Bin naturally recommends it vigorously.
"Student Wang, Zhang Hongjing, and Yang Kaili. ”
Pan Bin said: "Mr. Lin, the acting strength of these actors is acceptable, but the price must be a bit high." ”
Wang Xuexue and Zhang Hongjing Linchen have naturally cooperated, and it is thanks to "East Becomes West" that the value of the two has also risen.
In terms of image, Zhang Hongjing is a little tall, and some are not quite in line, but Wang Student is okay, and Wang Student is definitely at the drama level in terms of acting skills. But Lin Chen's eyes couldn't seem to express that kind of melancholy.
After ten years of undercover career, Chen Yongren should have a kind of melancholy both in his heart and in his form, so Lin Chen still denied Student Wang.
The expression Wang student is rich, but his eyes, Lin Chen, is still lacking.
Yang Kaili Lin Chen didn't know much about it.
Pan Bin roughly introduced Yang Kaili to Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, compared to other actors, this Yang Kaili is special. “
Pan Bin said: "This Yang Kaili's acting skills are naturally very rich, and people claim that he has not played a role in Xiangjiang. “
Listening to Pan Bin's introduction, Lin Chen directly clapped his hand and said: "Chen Yongren's role is Yang Kaili, you go back and contact you." ”
As for the melancholy eyes, Lin Chen felt that he could cultivate Yang Kaili in the crew.
Pan Bin wrote an 8 million in the notebook again.
With these two casts alone, Pan Bin decided that this movie would definitely be hopeless in the downturn of Xiangjiang Pictures.
But since Lin Chen wants to be willful, Pan Bin naturally can't stop him.
"Mr. Lin, what about Huang Zhicheng's candidate?" asked Pan Bin.
Huang Zhicheng's candidate, Lin Chen thought of Student Wang, who is a bright line in Xiangjiang in terms of both songs and performances.
"Student Wang!"
Lin Chen said: "We will use Wang as the candidate for Huang Zhicheng. ”
Pan Bin hesitated, and reluctantly wrote 8 million in the notebook again.
"What about Han Chen?"
Since the first three are all actors, the fourth Pan Bin directly recommended Zeng Cheng.
"Zeng Cheng!"
Pan Bin introduced Zeng Cheng's status as a bigwig in Xiangjiang and his prestige in the circle.
Lin Chen said: "Is that the little man who likes groping pigs?"
"Zeng Cheng's reputation in the acting circle is really not good. Pan Bin nodded and admitted.
Pan Bin next popularized Zeng Cheng's status and fame in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.
For Zeng Cheng Lin Chen, he naturally knows that this character with a deep background in Xiangjiang, in addition to frequent visits in various Xiangjiang movies, there are also rumors of unspoken actresses.
Such an actor in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, many people want to buy him face. But Lin Chen didn't feel that there was any need for this. To relive a lifetime, you naturally have to be willful.
Lin Chen disdains an actor like Zeng Cheng, since he came to give Lin Chen a guest, Lin Chen may not necessarily give this face.
Lin Chen refused: "I don't need to come to our crew if I see such an actor." ”
Listening to Lin Chen's resolute attitude, Pan Bin wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't speak.
Thinking of being so harsh on "Uniasia Entertainment", for Zeng Cheng's attitude, this is naturally very dusty.
Although his status and prestige in the Xiangjiang circle are indeed extraordinary, Lin Chen feels that there is no need to curry favor with this big man in Pan Bin's mouth.
With Lin Chen's current fame and status, he can completely ignore any actor, let alone a little frustration who can only be a salty piggy actress.
After seeing Lin Chen ignoring Zeng Cheng, Pan Bin asked, "Mr. Lin, who did Han Chen's people choose?"
The acting strength of the top three naturally determines the last one, and he must be a powerful actor.
"Uncle Nine!"
Lin Chen said: "We can use Uncle Nine to play the role of Han Chen. ”
"Guo Haibin!"
Everyone suddenly remembered this powerful actor who pointed out his martial arts.
"Mr. Zombie" is also enough to make Guo Haibin emperor.
Listening to Lin Chen's words, Zhang Hao said: "Mr. Lin, Guo Haibin's matter is handed over to me. ”
After determining the four male actors, on the female role, Marry, who played Liu Jianming's girlfriend, Lin Chen decided to let Jin Ming play it.
Although she can be regarded as the heroine, there are not many scenes in Marry.
Playing Chen Yongren's girlfriend May, Lin Chen decided to let Zhang Yina come as a guest.
In this way, the cast of "Infernal Affairs" was officially formed.
Pan Bin roughly calculated in the book, such a cast alone is definitely not less than 35 million.
If you add 5 million to other actors, just one page of actors means that 40 million will be spent.
If you add the crew and other personnel, this drama will have to invest at least 60 million.
This is naturally a big deal for the Xiangjiang market.
Pan Bin said: "Mr. Lin, this movie has to invest at least about 60 million now."
Compared with Pan Bin's worries about the film's investment, Zhang Hao and Huang Xiaoqiang are much calmer.
They have been following Lin Chen for a long time, and they have naturally seen Lin Chen's investment.
They now look at Pan Bin like a landlord looking at a poor boy who has never met.
Compared with the peak of "Uniasia Entertainment", 60 million is also a big deal, not to mention that "Uniasia Entertainment" is now living a life of shrinking clothes and dieting.
Pan Bin is really glad that Lin Chen did not let "Uniasia Entertainment" take a large stake in Chopsticks Pictures, otherwise the joint venture page alone would be enough to make "Uniasia Entertainment" a little unbearable.
"That's not right!"
Pan Bin thought in his heart, according to the current joint venture ratio alone, "Uniasia Entertainment" will have to come up with 18 million.
General Manager Li Jiang obviously won't agree.
