Chapter 229: Two Roles Determined
"This ......" Chen Jia browsed the entertainment news over and over again, and the news about Donnie Yen and Liu Dong caught him off guard.
After more than ten minutes, Chen Jiashang closed the computer, "In this case, Donnie Yen is indeed no longer suitable for the role of Pang Yong!"
"Do you have any other candidates for Director Chen?"
"Just this Liu Dong, he starred in a "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", which is quite in line with the requirements of the character!" Chen Jiashang thought about it and said.
"That's okay, according to Director Chen's intentions, I'll let people start drafting the contract and notify them!" Wang Zhongjun nodded and agreed to Chen Jiashang's proposal.
"Then Wang Dong has nothing to do, I'll go out first!" Chen Jiashang immediately retired.
Looking at the back of Chen Jiashang's departure, Wang Zhongjun's face sank, his words were not as useful as this full-screen entertainment news.
Wang Zhongjun frowned, Huayi produces a large number of film and television dramas every year, but there are not many excellent directors in the company, and only one Feng Xiaogang can rely on.
But Feng Xiaogang left the comedy he was good at to shoot war scenes.
But fortunately, last year, I invited Chen Guozhang, the production director of Columbia Asia, and I hope this professional producer can take care of Feng Xiaogang!
Wang Zhongjun rubbed his forehead with some distress, it is not easy to manage a huge film and television group.
In comparison, it is not very important to have a single male number two of "Painted Skin", with a total investment of 80 million, 7 investors, and a distribution share, and there is no loss either, and the actress under his own family has been promoted to the position of the heroine of the costume production, which is more than one stone!
......
On July 21, the crew of "Beauty in the Mountains".
Since the election of Donnie Yen and Liu Dong, Cheng Xiaodong has spent every day anxiously.
If Bernard still uses Donnie Yen, he will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of the entertainment industry.
Berner gave him a face-saving re-audition, but it was impossible to give it a second time.
Fortunately, the day before yesterday, the negative news of Donnie Yen suddenly broke out, which will undoubtedly increase the weight of Liu Dong.
He has also inquired in the past two days, and Bernard is now generally not optimistic about Donnie Yen, as long as there is no accident, Bernard will not use him again.
"Jingle bells... Ding..."
The phone on the table rang suddenly, Cheng Xiaodong quickly picked up the phone, calmed down, and suppressed the tension in his heart, "Hey." ”
"Director Cheng, inform Liu Dong to sign the contract, and you can draw up the specific terms yourself!"
......
"Okay, I got it!"
......
Cheng Xiaodong hung up the phone gently, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but slap the seat.
"Chen Kexin ......"
Cheng Xiaodong muttered to himself with a smile on his face, walked out of the door, thinking about Chen Kexin's room.
In the producer's room on the same floor, Chen Kexin hung up the phone with a disappointed face, apparently Berner informed him later.
Just the day before yesterday, when the news first broke out, he felt that something was wrong, it had been a year since the incident, and he preferred to die at this time.
There is no doubt that Liu Dong is the biggest beneficiary of this matter, and the time is just the day after the audition, Chen Kexin can guess that Liu Dong did it without much thought.
As for what he said about moving Zhou Zhaolong, Gu Tianle and Lu Liangwei, he didn't want to know, but now what is in front of him is Cheng Xiaodong and Liu Dong teaming up, and Cheng Xiaodong is a real director.
It is no longer possible for him to take away control of the crew.
"Knock knock!" At this time, a short knock came to mind outside the door, and Chen Kexin didn't need to guess to know that it was Cheng Xiaodong.
"Please come in!"
"Presumably Producer Chen already knows, Berner decided to let Liu Dong play Murong Xuehu!"
Cheng Xiaodong didn't talk nonsense when he came in, he went straight to the point, and even the title became "Producer Chen"
"I know!" Chen Kexin said nonchalantly.
"Then let's discuss the general direction of the contract!"
"Say it!"
"Liu Dong's salary in "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" is 2 million, and I think the current salary of 4 million is more appropriate!"
"Impossible!" Chen Kexin denied without thinking about it.
""The Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" has not been released yet, and it is impossible for him to get such a high salary, at most 2 million!"
"He could get 2 million before "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", and it is not appropriate to give this number now!"
"He hasn't got a work yet, and Chen Kun's "Painted Skin" is just this number!"
It's funny to say that the parties and the agent were not present, and the producer and director of the crew actually fought over the actors' salaries.
One wanted to raise Liu Dong's salary, but the other desperately wanted to lower the price, and no one could convince anyone for a while.
"Li Ming's salary has reached 12 million, Liu Dong's role is about the same as him, and 4 million is already very reasonable!"
"Li Ming is the Four Heavenly Kings, what does Liu Dong compare with him!" Chen Kexin said disdainfully.
"But Liu Dong is the leading actor, and he is the final character in the film!"
"The actor must be Li Ming, and on any occasion, Li Ming's name must come first on the poster, which has been set at the beginning!" Chen Kexin reminded in a deep voice.
"It's natural, but I'm the director!" Cheng Xiaodong reminded vaguely.
Although Li Ming is no longer as popular as he was ten years ago, the Four Heavenly Kings are the Four Heavenly Kings after all, and as long as this title is still there, he is still the top group of actors in Xiangjiang.
It is not so easy to invite actors of this level, and in order to invite Jin Chengwu, Chen Kexin's salary was nearly 30% higher than the market price.
He Li Ming's verbal promise is that no matter what the occasion, in any poster, propaganda news and movie titles, Li Ming's name will appear in the first place.
But as Cheng Xiaodong said, he is the director of the crew and determines the roles of all the actors.
As long as he is willing, he can make a film with two male protagonists into an absolute male lead.
Chen Kexin was silent for a moment, Li Ming was invited by him, although the relationship between the two is very good, but once Li Ming becomes a supporting role with more scenes in the finished film, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have any thoughts.
"It is said that the crew of "Painted Skin" has signed a contract with Liu Dong, the second male lead, the salary is 1.8 million, and the second male lead with a cost of 80 million has been given 1.8 million, and the actor of our big production only gave 2 million, which is really unspeakable!" Cheng Xiaodong released another news.
"Painted Skin" male number two?
It seems that Donnie Yen also went to audition, it seems that this Liu Dong is really chasing and fighting!
Chen Kexin sighed secretly, "2.5 million!"
"Don't forget that he has only debuted for a year, and now this bit of popularity is earned after a fight!"
Cheng Xiaodong hesitated when he heard this, this movie is his film after all, once it fails, and he gives Liu Dong too high a salary, although it will not have any fatal impact, but investors will never like directors who waste money!
"That's 2.5 million, but all his treatment in the crew should be the same as Li Ming!"
Liu Dong now represents his face in the crew, no matter what it is, he has to fight, and he can't be too much worse than Li Ming!
After all, Li Ming represents Chen Kexin!
