Chapter 175: "Happy Ghost" Press Conference (Twenty-one
A few days later, most of the cast of "Happy Ghost" was decided.
Zhong Chuhong plays Lin Jingjing among the three heroines, Mei Yanfang plays Yan Ruyu, Guan Zhilin plays Lin Xiaohua, Chen Yulian and Hui Yinghong play the friends of the three heroines.
In addition, Mei Yanfang's sister Mei Aifang also played a role, that is, Lin Xiaohua's rival. And Lin Jingjing's opponent in the sports meeting, the president of the Blue Rose Club is still played by a tall girl. As for the nun director, Yuan Qiulai played the role.
In terms of male roles, Huang Baiming plays the protagonist Zhu Chuncai, and the boyfriend of the male supporting Lin Xiaohua is played by Wu Cheng himself. Because there are many people looking for this role, they have not satisfied Wu Cheng.
First, the other party is not famous, and in this film, almost all of them are newcomers, except for him, the director. And some celebrities who are a little famous and handsome are reluctant to play supporting roles, especially in a film with a bunch of newcomers to play such a not very brilliant role.
In the end, Huang Baiming risked his life to mention yì, while Zhong Chuhong coaxed on the side, so Wu Cheng had to reluctantly accept such a role.
In this regard, Wu Cheng is also secretly glad that he has changed some of the plots, otherwise, he would have to kneel down and call people 'Lao Dou' in the film.
And this paragraph has long been changed by Wu Cheng. Because in his opinion, in the original work, Zhu Xiucai used superpowers to force the male partner to change his mind, which is not a good way.
Because the feelings that are forced out will not end well in the end. Therefore, Wu Cheng directly changed this paragraph, so that the male supporting actor completely changed his mind after experiencing some things.
Because of this, there is the scene where Zhou Huimin plays Lin Xiaohua's daughter. Of course, the scene where the happy ghost was reincarnated as Lin Xiaohua's son at the end of the original work could only be pinched.
What Wu Cheng didn't expect even more was that Wang Jing, who heard that he was going to start a comedy, actually came over and recommended himself to be an assistant director. It's free, and the meal is done.
According to his words, he came here to learn. It's not here to make money, as long as Wu Cheng rewards him with a bite to eat. He's on the wireless side, and he's all out of the grass.
Wu Cheng knew that although Wang Jing was a little capable, he was wireless. There was no chance to give him a chance to express himself at all. His first film had to wait until the 80s!
In this regard, Wu Cheng did not refuse, seeing that he was quite idle, not only made him an assistant director, but also gave him a role, that is, the bearded fat man who found a happy ghost in the original work.
Wu Cheng felt that with Wang Jing's obscene appearance, he could definitely perform a different taste.
on this. Wang Jing did not refuse, and readily agreed.
And Wu Cheng handed him an olive branch, and while Wang Jing was pleased, he said that he wanted to go home and ask for his old beans. After all, his old bean is now a big director of wireless, and he is also working at wireless now, and he is also self-sufficient, so he can't make it difficult for his old bean.
As for this reason, whether it is true or not, Wu Cheng is not more serious. Because he knows that Wang Jing is a ghost, and he makes films just to make money. Where there is interest, he will definitely drill where. Now that Donglong International has such a strong momentum, if Wang Jing doesn't have a little idea, it won't be Wang Jing. Perhaps, this fat man still wants to sell at a price!
Wu Cheng didn't know that when he handed out an invitation to Wang Fatzi. The fat man was already excited and wanted to jump. Because he came here, in addition to wanting to learn from Wu Cheng, the more important thing is to let Wu Cheng invite him. Although he knew Wu Cheng, if he proposed to join Donglong by himself, it would not only be a faceless thing for him, but also a very cheap thing. Only when Wu Cheng himself proposes it will he join in.
As for going home and asking for instructions, it is to improve one's worth.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to sue Wu Cheng that he was not only a person, but also an old bean! Moreover, his old bean was wireless, and he was also quite capable, and he Wang Jing was not a person who had nowhere to go.
Wu Cheng naturally didn't think about it so much, whether Wang Jing was willing to join or not was actually not very important to him. Because the films that Wang Jing has made are actually in his mind, without him Wang Jing, can't he copy those films?
Compared with Hong Jinbao, the importance of Wang Fatzi is much worse. At least Hong Jinbao has so many powerful brothers and sisters around him, and there is a Hong family gang behind him to support him.
He is a fat man, but he is just a lonely person.
However, if someone is willing to come over and run free errands for him, Wu Cheng will naturally not refuse.
So, Wu Cheng directly handed over the affairs of the crew to Wang Jing and Huang Baiming. Find a venue, choose a costume, contact those support units, etc.
In addition, Wu Cheng also handed over the task of inserting advertisements into the film to the company's business department.
For example, the advertising placement of those sports equipment in the movie, such as the advertising placement of sportswear, sports shoes and other products. In this piece alone, there are more than a dozen kinds of goods listed by Wu Cheng.
Each one requires him to range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, especially for sneakers, Wu Cheng directly asked the business department personnel to find Adidas' branch in Xiangjiang, if they are not willing to implant this advertisement, then go to Nike.
In comparison, Wu Cheng feels that Nike's new company is more successful.
If the advertising placement of these products can be successful, it can be said that the investment cost of the drama "Happy Ghost" can already be recovered.
Things did not surprise Wu Cheng, Adidas wanted to be more bullish, and categorically rejected Wu Cheng's proposal of 500,000 advertising placement fees.
Nike, on the other hand, directly used one million to buy out all the sneaker advertising placements in the play "Happy Ghost". In other words, all the shots of sneakers in the film must use their Nike brand. How could Wu Cheng refuse this request!
In fact, Wu Cheng didn't know that Nike was originally looking for a sales breakthrough in Southeast Asia. It's just because there are too many brands of sneakers, especially some old brands, like Adidas. In Asia, their newcomer simply can't beat the old ones.
Therefore, Wu Cheng, the new film of the new famous director, actually seeks cooperation in this regard, how can they not climb up the pole. You must know that the sales of Phoenix Clothing, 'Hongyan' and 'Ace' brands in Southeast Asia are now pulled up by Donglong International and Wireless. Although they have invested a lot in this area, compared to sales, this investment can be completely ignored. Therefore, they are not unfamiliar with ad placement.
Compared with Nike, Adidas's desire to seek cooperation is not so strong.
Half a month later, the crew will find a good venue and implement some cooperative units, the drama "Happy Ghost" has not yet started filming, and the income from its advertising placement has already reached 3 million.
Of course, the big head is Nike.
And because in this play, there are not many opportunities to wear formal clothes, yes, the phoenix costume did not invest too much in this film, and it was only 100,000 yuan, which just meant it.
The other miscellaneous ones are all supported by those sports equipment brands and some food vendors, but they don't support much, basically between 50,000 and 100,000.
……
On February 20, "Happy Ghost" was officially launched.
The location of the start-up was directly on his stall outside the villa in Repulse Bay.
Today, Wu Cheng brought the entire crew here, in addition to the start of the movie, it is to bring everyone out, get to know each other together, and have fun on this beach by the way.
Yes, in addition to the crew, there are also Zhao Yazhi, and Deng Lijun, who just came from Baodao to prepare a new album.
Of course, there are several beautiful girls in the crew, and naturally there will be no less.
Many of these crew members are pointing at Wu Cheng's villa, looking envious. And the most enviable thing is the two beauties sitting next to Wu Cheng.
However, for these two women, Zhong Chuhong has long been used to it.
And after these days of understanding and coexistence, Zhong Chuhong, Mei Yanfang and others get along well with Chen Yulian, but they don't get along well with Guan Zhilin.
The main reason is because Guan Zhilin, a woman, is too hypocritical, and she wants the best when she eats it. If it's just because of this, then it's okay to say, the problem is that when this woman was chatting with them, she found that they were actually very familiar with Wu Cheng, so she intentionally or unintentionally asked them about Wu Cheng, and she also looked like she wanted to seduce/lure Wu Cheng.
Especially when she saw Wu Cheng's villa in Repulse Bay, that envious look and her naked eyes at Wu Cheng made Zhong Chuhong even more annoyed.
In Wu Cheng's family, there are still a few sisters and little sisters who are eyeing him! Now there is an inexplicable woman running out, what does she want to do?
It was the quiet fairy sister Chen Yulian who made Zhong Chuhong feel comfortable.
Although Chen Yulian also likes to listen to Wu Cheng's qiē, she learned from Zhao Yazhi that Chen Yulian actually worships Wu Cheng as her idol.
Yes, after seeing that Chen Yulian deliberately stuck to Wu Cheng's side when Wu Cheng didn't come to see them, he put his heart at ease with her. She felt that the dangerous nature of a woman like Chen Yulian was much smaller than that of a woman like Guan Zhilin, and she didn't have to worry about anything at all.
As for Hui Yinghong, there is no sense of zài, although they can talk, but after all, she is a wireless person, not in the same company, and her intimate relationship naturally exists.
You must know that they are all artists under the name of Tiancheng Agency, and only Hui Yinghong is not, and there is naturally a difference.
Especially Zhong Chuhong, these girls all regard Wu Cheng as their own. Yes, people who are not from Wu Cheng's company are naturally treated somewhat differently. (To be continued.) )
