Chapter Seventy-Three: Actor Selection
handed over the two songs to Ye Qianwen, the preliminary preparations for "Ace Agent" were not completed, and "Mr. Zombie" finally advanced to the cinema to meet the audience.
It's still Golden Harvest Cinema, it's still Tsim Sha Tsui Marine Cinema, and Zhang Xiaoye, who is the producer of the movie on the day of the premiere, also rushed to the scene, and this time brought Zhou Huimin and Zhang Xiaoxian to join in the fun.
As the eldest brother of Liu Guangwei and Lin Zhenying, Hong Jingbao also took time out of his busy schedule to cheer up, after all, this movie is of great significance to the two, if it succeeds, there will be a better prospect, if it fails, then I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to film alone again in the future.
Hong Jingbao is also preparing for the new film, if there is no accident, the movie he is preparing should be "Food Truck", which is still a classic work co-starred by the three brothers.
The momentum of this premiere is much smaller than the previous ones, except for Zhang Xiaoye, they also brought a few people from the Hong family class to support the stage, which didn't look so grand, but Lin Zhenying and Liu Guangwei were nervous and uneasy.
Even Zhang Xiaoxian could see the emotions of the two, and couldn't help but say, "Xiaoye, the two of them look a little nervous. ”
"It's the first time, and it's inevitable to be nervous." As soon as Zhang Xiaoye said this, Zhou Huimin's eyes widened, and Li Sunfeng covered his mouth and smiled on the side.
"Am I wrong? You guys, it's obvious that the girl's mind is still so impure. Zhang Xiaoye had just finished teasing, and the annoyed and angry Zhou Huimin's little hand had already climbed up her arm, "You are obviously talking crazy again." ”
After the two of them finished arguing, Li Sunfeng smiled and said: "Actually, the reason why Uncle Nine and Uncle Wei are so nervous is mainly because the pressure is too great, and the budget for this play has been overspent too much, and they are sorry for Xiaoye if they are afraid of losing money." ”
On the one hand, he is afraid of disappointing Zhang Xiaoye, and on the other hand, it is closely related to his own development, so it is reasonable to be so worried, after all, he is not like him who has the memory of later generations to strategize.
Because of her close relationship with him, Zhang Xiaoxian, who is not very interested in movies, is now also well aware of the box office account, and then said: "This drama has invested 8.5 million, so the box office has to be about 24 million to recover the cost, right?" ”
"The box office of 24 million looks difficult, but that is for others, they are too unconfident in Xiaoye. Besides, there is also the Waifu market, as long as it is not rotten to a certain point, it is impossible to lose money. Zhou Huimin has blind trust in Zhang Xiaoye, so he can't understand the pressure of Lin Zhenying and Liu Guangwei at all.
That's right, but if you really change to Zhou Huimin herself, you will be nervous, although the first time or something sounds ambiguous, but it's true, no matter what it is, the first time you will have such emotions.
Zhang Xiaoxian turned her head to look at Li Sunfeng and said, "Ah Feng is not nervous at all. ”
"I'm just a little actor, and it's not my turn to worry about these things." Li Saifeng grinned, they were about the same age, and they also had a common language, and then said: "Besides, I have received Xiaoye's new film, and Mr. Zombie's real loss has no effect on me." ”
"You're heartless." Zhang Xiaoye rolled his eyes, the two had been in contact for a long time, and he had no less deliberately plotting against him, and now there was no barrier at all.
"That's because I have faith in you." Li Sunfeng laughed again and said: "Even if it is a zombie theme that has been dusty for many years, because it is from your hand, even the media dare not easily assert that it hits the street, what am I worried about?" Actually, I also think that Uncle Nine is a bit mediocre. ”
"Mr. Zombie is not sung by anyone, and the ace agent is generally not optimistic about the outside world, what if they say it?"
Li Sunfeng grinned again, she had already read the script of "Ace Agent", so she said: "I don't have many roles as a heroine, even if I divide the responsibility, it's very small, right?" This is Zhang Xiaoye's work, what am I worried about when you're like this? ”
"Sure enough, there is no heart and no lungs." Zhou Huimin also gave the same evaluation, Li Sunfeng squeezed her eyes, and then said: "Speaking of which, how are the ace agents prepared, have the other actors been found?" ”
Li Sunfeng is the heroine appointed by Zhang Xiaoye, but the movie is still in preparation, so she just gave her the script and asked her to set aside the schedule and wait for notices, and she didn't know anything else.
The job of looking for actors is also in charge of Chenlong, except for some unimportant small roles, all of them have been finalized, and after the original black villain makes corresponding character adjustments, it will be played by Wan Ziliang.
Wan Ziliang debuted in 77, and his acting skills are also recognized, and it is not difficult to grasp this role with his characteristics. The villain's right-hand man, the female killer who stepped on a pair of sharp prosthetic feet, was finalized as Michiko Nishikyo.
In the golden age of Xiangjiang films, there are not many foreign actors who are active in it, Michiko Nishikyo is one of them, and she came to Xiangjiang relatively early, when Luo Flo and Yugari Oshima and others were not filming, she had already starred in "Bloody City" last year.
Her existence is also good news for "Ace Agent", otherwise this role is really hard to find, and other women who want to be Hui Yinghong are not suitable for their first image and temperament, and people may not be willing to play the role of villain.
The head of the secret service organization, the actor Chen Long found is Shi Tian from Xinyi City, his mustache is exactly the same as the original role, and his fit with the original work is much higher than that of Wan Ziliang and Michiko Nishikyo.
was able to pull him out, a giant in the new art city, in addition to this being Zhang Xiaoye's movie, but also because he had cooperated a lot with Chenlong before, "Drunken Fist", "Serpentine Trick", "Laughing Boxing Tricks", etc., and even "Golden Vase Shuangyan" He participated, and the two are also old acquaintances.
Shi Tian is here, originally the bald instructor character of the Secret Service Academy in the story, Chen Long, had considered Mai Jia, but Mai Jia acted too much in comedy, and the gap between him and the character was too big except for his bald head, so he had to give up.
For this reason, Chen Long specially called Zhang Xiaoye to discuss it, bald actors are really hard to find, should you give up this setting, Zhang Xiaoye thought about it, and recommended another person to him, Xu Jinjiang.
is also bald, looks a little vicious when serious, and also has a certain sense of humor, it is really suitable, if it weren't for Zhong Chuhong, he wouldn't have remembered it.
Xu Jinjiang and Liu Dehua are the same students of the wireless artist training class, they have held art exhibitions, sang in nightclubs, ran through tricks, and officially devoted themselves to the film and television industry last year, and now Zhong Chuhong is filming "I Love Immortals".
Knowing that Zhang Xiaoye needed such a role, Zhong Chuhong just mentioned it in passing to see if it was suitable, and as a result, this became Xu Jinjiang's chance. By now, all the main actors have been finalized and the rest is much simpler.
