Chapter 780: Candidate [Five Changes]

At the same time that Shaojie persuaded Ma Rongcheng to use the movie adaptation of "Chinese Heroes" to fight against "Dragon Tiger Gate", Huang Yuxuan and Lin Jianyue were also discussing the issue of "Dragon Tiger Gate" actors.

"For the role of Wang Xiaolong, I think Cheng Long can be found to play it."

Huang Yuyun said this idea, but found that Lin Jianyue and Huang Baiming on the other side had a strange expression.

"What, do you think Cheng Long is not suitable?"

Huang Baiming glanced at Lin Jianyue and saw that he didn't mean to answer, so he had to answer Huang Yuxuan's question by himself.

"Mr. Huang, Cheng Long is indeed the best candidate in terms of reputation and audience appeal, but he has been filming in the United States during this time, and he may not be willing to come back to make this movie. Of course, even if he is willing to take on this movie, I'm afraid it will not be easy to cooperate, because Cheng Long makes movies, basically with him as the central protagonist, and other actors have to revolve around him, and in the movie "Dragon and Tiger Gate", Wang Xiaohu is also one of the protagonists, that is, Cheng Long is willing to play the role arranged according to the script, and it is a difficult problem to find who to play with him. ”

Huang Baiming helped his glasses, what he said was just some objective problems, and the more subjective reason was that Cheng Long was from Golden Harvest, and he was very close to Lin Youlun, and Cheng Long's salary was the most expensive in Hong Kong, and it was also a burden for the movie "Dragon Tiger Gate".

Don't look at Lin Jianyue spending $10 million to shoot this film, but to really achieve a visual effect that satisfies the audience, it is necessary to burn money on special effects production.

If you don't look for Cheng Long, you can make one or two more special effects shots with the salary you save, and this account will not be a loss.

Huang Yuyun listened to Huang Baiming's explanation. I also realized that my thoughts were a bit taken for granted. No wonder Huang Baiming and Lin Jianyue had such expressions just now.

"What about Li Lianjie?"

"Li Lianjie can't do it either. If he doesn't act in costume films, he can only play roles such as policemen and bodyguards, and he definitely can't play comic characters. ”

"So Zhao Wenzhuo can't do it?" Huang Yuyun spread his hands, and there were only a few people he could think of, and all of them were denied.

Lin Jianyue finally spoke at this time.

"Mr. Huang, don't worry, we have also prepared a few candidates here, let Manager Huang introduce you to you?"

Seeing that Huang Yuyun did not object, Huang Baiming asked him a question first.

"In Mr. Huang's opinion, what conditions should the actor of "Dragon Tiger Gate" have?"

"I can fight. The image is tough, and preferably a little famous. ”

Huang Baiming laughed, "Actually, for current movies, it doesn't matter much whether you can fight or not, because of the existence of stunts and special effects, there are too many ways to make a person without any martial arts skills play wonderfully and beautifully on the screen, especially for comic book adaptations, the fighting effect basically depends on special effects to appear, not to mention how good the actor must be." To take the simplest example, the "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" back then. Guo Fucheng, who plays the amazing steps, is not an action actor, but it does not prevent him from playing very cool and dazzling in this movie, and even steals a lot of limelight from Zhao Wenzhuo, who really has martial arts skills......"

Huang Yuyun interrupted at this time and said: "I understand what Manager Huang means, that is, as long as the actor is handsome, it doesn't matter if he can fight or not." ”

Huang Baiming nodded, "Specific to "Dragon and Tiger Gate", it may still require some real actions, of course it is better for the actor to play, according to this characteristic, I specially selected an actor, who meets the requirements of our producer, of course, should also meet your requirements Mr. Huang." ”

"Who is it?" Huang Yuxuan asked curiously.

"Zhen Zidan!"

Huang Yuyun was stunned for a moment, "Is that the actor in "Legend of the Night", the guy who often plays the villain in some kung fu movies later?" ”

Huang Baiming was a little embarrassed, because Huang Yuyan's understanding of Zhen Zidan was still stuck in the moment before he went to prison two years ago, and he couldn't break it directly, so he could only patiently explain: "Zhen Zidan has also starred in several movies in the past two years, and his actions are relatively sharp, emphasizing the realism in the fight, which is actually very consistent with the character of Wang Xiaolong in the comics." ”

In order to increase the persuasiveness, Huang Baiming also specially showed Huang Yuyun a few photos of Zhen Zidan.

Huang Yuyun nodded after reading it, "Okay, his image is okay, how can I say that he was also the actor who played the leading role in "Legend of the Night" back then, and he could be favored by Mr. Lin at that time, and there must be some outstanding points." ”

Huang Yuyun's words were talking to himself, and he had no other meaning, but it was extremely harsh in Lin Jianyue's ears, what did Lin Youlun say that the person he had taken a fancy to must be good? Mentioning this in front of him is simply slapping him in the face!

The corners of Lin Jianyue's eyes twitched, and finally he didn't say anything.

Huang Yuyun didn't notice this when he was looking at the photo, but Huang Baiming saw Lin Jianyue's expression and reaction in his eyes, and he knew that Lin Jianyue was a little unhappy because of this sentence, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Since Wang Xiaolong's role is no problem, let's talk about the role of Wang Xiaohu."

After Huang Baiming's "popular science" just now, Huang Yuyun also realized that he was not good at movie casting, and it was better to leave this kind of professional matter to a professional person to decide.

Huang Yuyun didn't mention his opinion again, but directly asked Huang Baiming if he had any good candidates to recommend.

"If you want to say the right thing, among the four heavenly kings of Hong Kong, Liu Dehua and Li Ming are good, but now these two people are very valuable, and it is difficult to get them." Huang Baiming first told Huang Yuyun about the most practical difficulties in the casting process, just to reduce Huang Yuyun's high expectations for this role.

Huang Yuxuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

"There are four kings in Hong Kong, and there are also four little kings in Taiwan, the role of Wang Xiaohu, I suggest that Mr. Huang can consider Taiwanese actors, such as Lin Zhiying, one of the four little kings of Taiwan I just mentioned."

"Lin Zhiying?" Huang Yuxuan's face was blank.

It's no wonder that Huang Yuying has such an expression reaction, because Lin Zhiying has only become famous in the past two years, and during this period, Huang Yuying is serving a sentence in prison, and it is normal that he has not heard of the name of Little Whirlwind.

Huang Baiming briefly introduced Lin Zhiying's situation, and also showed Huang Yuying a photo of Lin Zhiying.

When Huang Yuying looked at the photos, he said worriedly: "Will this Lin Zhiying be too creamy?" ”

"Wang Xiaohu is a younger brother, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to look smaller, and the most important thing is that he is now very famous in the whole of Asia, with many fans, and choosing him to play this role is mainly from the perspective of the market."

As soon as Huang Baiming explained this, Huang Yuxuan stopped talking.

Find a powerful faction to support the whole drama, and then find an idol faction to increase popularity, that is, Wu Yusen filmed "The True Color of Heroes" back then, and after finding Zhou Yunfa and Zhai Long as the starring actors, he also dragged Zhang Yurong, the idol faction at that time, in, and after that, this practice is even more common in Hong Kong movies.

After all, the movie was made to make money, and Huang Baiming's consideration is reasonable.

"Isn't it the Four Little Heavenly Kings? In addition to Lin Zhiying, how about the other three? ”

Huang Yuyun thought that since he had found Lin Zhiying, it was better to find the other three as well, but Huang Baiming smiled bitterly after hearing this.

"I'm afraid the other three won't be able to do it, because they're making a TV series...... That TV series was invested by Lin Youlun. In order to dispel this idea, Huang Baiming also specially added.

At that time, Huang Yuyun heard the ambiguity. Why were the other three people asked by Lin Youlun to shoot a TV series, but this Lin Zhiying didn't go, is it because this Lin Zhiying is a little worse than the other three, so he was not watched?

After Huang Baiming listened to Huang Yuxuan's doubts, he almost went crazy.

"Mr. Huang misunderstood, not because Lin Zhiying is worse than the three of them, but because he is more famous than the other three and has a very high worth, so no one will ask him to act in a TV series."

Huang Baiming also didn't say it for one reason, that is, in addition to Lin Zhiying, the other three people in the Four Little Heavenly Kings, two of them are directly signed singers of Lin Youlun's record company, and one is not an artist on Lin Youlun's side, but it is said that his agent is very close to Lin Youlun.

In contrast, although Lin Zhiying also signed a record contract and a UFO record, his actor contract is in Wu Dun's hands, and his relationship with Lin Youlun is not very direct.

Huang Yuyun smiled awkwardly when he learned that he had made a fuss.

"Okay, since Manager Huang thinks this Lin Zhiying is suitable, then Wang Xiaohu's role will be set for him."

The two leading actor candidates have been decided, Huang Baiming is also relieved, and only the heroine candidate has not yet been decided, according to Huang Yuxuan's previous attitude, Huang Baiming feels that the heroine candidate can easily reach a consensus.

But what Huang Baiming didn't expect was that on the issue of the heroine, Huang Yuyun's attitude was surprisingly resolute.

"I already have a favorite candidate for the heroine of the film, and everything else can be discussed, but she must be used for this role, and no one else can do it!"

Huang Baiming glanced at Lin Jianyue with some embarrassment, Lin Jianyue signaled him to be calm, and first asked Huang Yuyun who the person he had his eye on was before speaking.

Huang Yuyun followed up and said a name, which surprised Huang Baiming and Lin Jianyue.

"I'm afraid this actor can't do it, she is from the wireless side, and if she is asked to make a movie, the wireless side may not agree to release her." Huang Baiming said it was difficult.

"Wireless is still in charge of Mr. Shao Yifu now, is it possible that with the face of Boss Lin and Media Asia Film Company, even an actress of Wireless can't handle it?" Huang Yuyun countered Huang Baiming's army.

Huang Baiming wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Lin Jianyue with his eyes.

"No problem, I'll settle this matter." (To be continued......)
