Chapter 329
At this point, the candidates for the starring role in "You from the Star" have been basically decided, and Shen Lian has finally temporarily put down a major matter in his heart, but the development of things has not been so smooth.
"Shen Lian, Mr. Wang Ji agreed to take over the filming of this TV series in principle, but in addition to the salary, he also put forward some of his own conditions." Shen Lian was perfecting the script at home, when Chen Hang's phone suddenly called.
"On what terms?" Shen Lian asked.
"She has a daughter named Gao Liwen, and she wants to ask for a role for her daughter in the TV series." Chen Hang said.
“…… Don't you have many requirements for the scene? Shen Lian asked. It's not unacceptable, in fact, many crews have this habit, and some old-timers will bring their children to the TV series to make a familiar face.
"Teacher Wang Ji means that it doesn't matter if the salary is more or less, but the role should be played throughout, mainly to give her a chance to observe." Chen Hang conveyed Wang Ji's intentions.
"I, Nima, we are an idol drama, what is there to watch. I want to observe and go to the historical drama to observe the acting skills. Shen Lian was speechless, a newcomer or a third-tier actor who is the protagonist of his TV series, where is there any acting skills to observe.
"What do you say?" Chen Hang asked.
"Let's promise to come down first, I'll take a look, and if it doesn't work, I'll explain to her again." Shen Lian began to think about what role could be suitable. "What did Wang Qianyuan and Teacher Wang Lin (Aunt Xue) say? Did you promise to star? ”
Wang Qianyuan's side has agreed. Teacher Wang Lin wants the role of Yan Song's mother more, you see? ”
“…… Persuade again. I'll call her myself later. Shen Lian scratched his head and said speechlessly. You really have to be a producer yourself to know the hard work in between.
In mid-September, the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards announced the list of shortlisted nominees, and Shen Lian was not selected for the actor selection again. This has a lot to do with the censorship mechanism of the Golden Rooster Awards, the selection scope of the Golden Rooster Awards is extremely strict regional, and before 05 years, films and film practitioners must be mainlanders. After 05, although Hong Kong and Taiwan films and Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are also included in the selection scope, the nominated film producers must have Chinese mainland participation. AND THE PRODUCERS OF "WITNESS" ARE HONG KONG EMPEROR AND YINDU, SO SHEN LIAN, A VERY PERFECT WORK, HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SAY GOODBYE TO THE GOLDEN ROOSTER. On the other hand, Shen Lian also knows that even if he can be shortlisted for the Best Actor Selection with "Witness", it is impossible to win the Best Actor. The selection of the Golden Rooster Award has always been niche, and it pays great attention to the main theme and qualifications. Shen Lian, an actor who has been immersed in Hong Kong films, is not treated well by mainland judges. Since the film, Shen Lian and the Golden Rooster Award have always been completely insulated. In this regard, he himself is also very helpless.
"District 9" finally went offline a month after its release in North America, and the sci-fi film, which invested only $30 million, eventually grossed $210 million at the North American box office. has become the biggest dark horse in this year's North American film summer file, and the investor Sony can be said to have made a lot of money. And the reputation of the movie is also very good. The classic of the classics, violent aesthetics + black humor + human satire + high return on investment, both in terms of box office and connotation, are the best in this year's movies. The Oscar will be nominated 100%.
The $210 million North American box office also surpassed Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour 1", and "Rush Hour 3" became the second grossing Hollywood movie starring Chinese actors, second only to Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour 2". And although Jackie Chan is also a fan in the "Rush Hour" series, he does not have much more scenes than Krystac. And "District 9" is completely Shen Lian's single work.
But in terms of word-of-mouth and quality, "District 9" is more than a few grades higher than the "Rush Hour" series, and the different types of movies are on the one hand, on the other hand, Hollywood understands more about oriental actors or kung fu actors, from Bruce Lee, to Jackie Chan, Li Lianjie, all of them are taking the path of kung fu superstars. The domestic first-line female star Zhang Ziyi also mostly fights as a woman in Hollywood. Zhou Runfa, who takes the route of literary drama, is not a star and a half worse than the previous ones in Hollywood, and even Shen Lian, who only has one work.
With the explosion of "The Ninth District", Shen Lian's reputation in China, which had been silent for a while, broke out again, and the discussion about Shen Lian became the hottest topic on the recent popular social software Xin~Lang Weibo, and Shen Lian's name ranked first on the Weibo hot search list...... Dividing line ......
In the parking lot of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Shen Lian drove his car and waited anxiously.
Comrade Meihua just called two days ago, dealt with his affairs in Taiwan, and was about to officially come to Shanghai, so he specially ordered Shen Lian to pick up the plane at the airport.
Directly sent his location to Guo Biting, Shen Lian did not get out of the car, and stayed directly in the parking lot to wait for Guo Biting's arrival.
Shen Lian's parking position was relatively empty, and there were not many cars blocking it, and through the glass, he could see a thin figure looking around the side of the road with a backpack on his back.
Shen Lian hurriedly rolled down the window and waved vigorously at her. Guo Biting walked over directly with joy in her heart, the car door opened, and a fragrant breeze came to her face, and then a soft delicate body sat in the co-pilot's seat.
"Coming?"
"Hmm. Did you solve the house I asked you to rent for me before? "Guo Biting still has some luggage that has been checked in. When the time comes, it will be sent directly to Shen Lian's company. As soon as she arrived here, Guo Biting first paid attention to the accommodation problem. I was also a little worried that this restless pervert would directly arrange for himself to stay at his house.
"Well, it's about a 10-minute walk from my accommodation. You're going to have to ride a bike, and you're there in five minutes. Then the driver's assistant or something company is still helping you with the interview, and you should be able to get it all done within a week. Shen Lian said. Counting up, Guo Biting has not officially signed a contract with her Crown studio.
While starting the car, he explained a qiē to Guo Biting, although Guo Biting is not the first time to come to Shanghai, although she has also learned about the city on the Internet, but she is still very unfamiliar with the city she will live in next. Therefore, for the choice of assistants, Shen Lian also specially instructed that it is best to be a person who has lived in Shanghai for a period of time and knows a lot about Shanghai.
"There's a card here, there's 300,000 in it, you go buy some high-grade clothes and the like." Shen Lian pointed to the bag and said.
"Hmm." Guo Biting frowned, this shouldn't come out of a mouth like Shen Lian.
"In the TV series, your character is a second-tier female star, no famous brand is willing to sponsor our idol drama, and I don't plan to accept some copycat brands to advertise, so I can only pay out of my own pocket." Shen Lian explained with a bitter face. This amount of money is not a small amount, and Shen Lian must be a lie when he says that it is not painful. If it weren't for Guo Biting, she would definitely find a second-hand store to sell it after the auction to stop the loss, but Guo Biting's words would still be forgotten.
