October 15th, today is the day of the audition for the costume drama "Casting a Name", as a super production with an investment of 300 million yuan, this film has affected the entire domestic film market from the very beginning.

300 million, this is 300 million yuan in 06, you must know that the current domestic film box office record is the 250 million created by "Hero" four years ago.

Even if imported films are included, the box office record in the entire Chinese film history is only the 350 million box office record created by "Titanic" in 94.

At present, no domestic film has exceeded this figure at the box office, and 300 million is also the third largest investment in the history of Chinese films, second only to the 360 million of "Full of Golden Armor" released during the Chinese New Year this year and the 340 million of "Wuji" released last year.

The director of "The City Full of Golden Armor" is Zhang Yimou, and the director of "Wuji" is Chen Kaige, both of whom are master-level directors.

And now Chen Kexin has become the director of the super-blockbuster that directs the third largest investment in film history, and has become the next master under the frenzied publicity of the media, although the film has not yet started shooting.

"Is this the influence of super big productions!" Liu Dong came to the audition site of the crew, and was shocked when he saw that this formation was several times larger than that of "The Condor Heroes".

"It's rare and weird, when the national teacher was filming "Hero", many countries around the world sent reporters over, and CCTV came to a shooting team!"

Hundreds of reporters and thousands of actors gathered in this small mountain village, and reporters with microphones in their hands could be seen everywhere interviewing one by one, and the cameras were clicking behind them.

Not to mention the vegetable market, this situation is a fight with the Spring Festival Railway Station.

"Is there still such a village in China now?" Liu Dong looked at the small mountain village in front of him with some curiosity.

Liu Dong knew that this village on the outskirts of Beijing was definitely not built for filming, because he saw that many houses had residents coming in and out, and most of the people's yards were full of corn, red peppers, garlic, etc.

Liu Dong remembers that Lili Liu Dehua and Jin Chengwu's bandit nest is this village, and the building and appearance are not much different.

In the movie, the village can't have enough to eat, how can it be possible to hang so much food in front of the courtyard.

"This is the village in the MTG district, which is a very famous village in the circle, and many film and television dramas from the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Republic of China, and even the seventies and eighties were filmed here!" Li Manyu turned his head and explained.

"Feng Xiaogang's two movies were shot from here, and I still remember that in "Party A and Party B", there was a big man who was too wealthy and wanted to live a hard life for a few days, but he ate all the chickens in the village, and the filming place was in this village. and Yan Shouyi's hometown in "Mobile Phone" was also filmed here. ”

Liu Dong couldn't help asking, "Then was this built later or was it originally preserved so well!"

It's no wonder that Liu Dong asked, this village is so complete, except that it doesn't match the times, it's like coming to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the courtyard houses in the village are well preserved.

Li Manyu nodded, "This is by far the best-preserved mountain village of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, with more than 70 courtyard houses and more than 500 houses, and half of them are crewed!"

"How do you know everything, and you can even check how many houses and how many people in the village are so clear?" Liu Dong now really doubts whether Li Manyu has a legendary system in his head, and there seems to be nothing she doesn't know.

"If I can't even find out this thing for a week, I'm too incompetent!" Li Manyu smiled slightly and said, "Not only that, I know the background and origin of all the audition actors this time, in addition, one of your opponents should pay attention, he is estimated to be your biggest opponent!"

"Oh?" Liu Dong hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Guo Xiaodong!" Li Manyu spat out a person's name, but Liu Dong had never heard of it.

Although Guo Xiaodong has not made any famous films, he has been nominated for the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actor, won the Golden Phoenix Award of the Acting Association, the Top Ten Potential Male Artist Award at the Busan International Film Festival, and even nominated for the Best Actor Award at the 59th Cannes International Film Festival in May this year. Li Manyu said Guo Xiaodong's resume like a few treasures.

You're awesome!

In addition to these two words, Liu Dong couldn't find any other adjectives.

However, Liu Dong didn't care at all, except for the nominations for the Cannes Film Festival and the Huabiao Awards, he had never heard of other awards.

Everyone knows the gold content of the Huabiao Award, but it is just a cake.

Liu Dong believes that he can definitely win this role with his memory of the original movie, not to mention Ye Weiming's help.

After standing outside and watching for a while, the two walked inside, Li Manyu took out his mobile phone to contact Ye Weiming, and then a crew employee ran over and took the two to a courtyard.

"Director Ye, Director Cheng, hello!" Li Manyu saw that the two middle-aged men in the courtyard were gesturing something, and hurriedly stepped forward.

That should be Ye Weiming and Cheng Xiaodong, Liu Dong also stepped forward to greet the two, "Director Ye is good, Director Cheng is good!"

"You're here, sit down first!" Ye Weiming greeted lightly.

Cheng Xiaodong saw that Ye Weiming had something to do and didn't stay much, so he left after saying two words.

Ye Weiming looked Liu Dong up and down, and asked with a smile, "You are Liu Dong?"

Liu Dong nodded in response. "I am, Director Ye often talks about you in front of us!"

"I heard my brother say that you are very good at kung fu, and it just so happens that this character has a fight scene. Ye Weiming said with a smile.

"I've been practicing since I was a kid. Liu Dong said.

"It's good to have a kung fu foundation, Director Chen of this movie requires truth, try not to use a Wia, and don't design a fancy move. Ye Weiming carefully talked about the action characteristics of this play, and then said, "But this is a costume film after all, and it is definitely different from modern action movies like "Fuse", you still have to pay attention!"

Liu Dong nodded hurriedly and said, "What you said is Director Ye, in the past month, I have studied the costume blockbusters such as "Ying Jiangxiong" and "Ambush on All Sides" several times, and I have also designed a lot of routines that are in line with that era, do you want to give you a performance?"

"No need for this, Director Cheng is an expert in action, since you have already prepared, it's enough, then you can take a break here, I'll let you know when the audition begins!

After Ye Weiming finished speaking, he called a field attendant and left.

"Alas, what he said just now was "The Fuse"? Isn't it called "Breaking the Army"!" Liu Dong reacted only when he left.

Li Manyu glanced at him and said angrily, "This is still the movie you made, and I don't even know if I changed my name." ”
