Chapter 375: Happy Ghost Actor
The genius director's next work, Happy Ghost, is officially confirmed. ’
Is it the idea of genius that ordinary people can't understand, or is it the expansion of genius, what the hell is "Happy Ghost"? ’
'The billion-dollar director has begun to inflate himself, and the new film "Happy Ghost" is doomed. ’
‘......’
Regarding Zhang Yang's choice of "Happy Ghost" for his new work, although everyone in the studio still has some disbelief and disagreement in their hearts, who made Zhang Yang both the boss and the director.
And his boss's previous works have not failed, maybe the boss has his own ideas, and genius acting is always incomprehensible to ordinary people!
However, when the news of the new movie spread, it caused an uproar from outsiders, and not many people were optimistic about the new film.
This is also normal, although horror films are the most common and the subject that requires the least much investment, but they are also the theme that famous directors don't like to touch the most.
Because the theme of horror films is only from July to August of the year, after all, it is easy to produce results, and the rest of the time, unless the time and place are favorable, there are few works that produce big results.
Up to now, 90% of the top 50 works on the box office list of horror films are produced from July to August every year, and usually only about 10%, which is too low.
And Zhang Yang is not only a famous director, but also the youngest billion-dollar director.
If it weren't for the repeated confirmation that the news was indeed released by Zhang Yang Studio, many people would still think that this was just a rumor released by someone.
I don't think so, Zhang Yang has really created too many impossibilities, who knows if Zhang Yang will still create miracles this time. ’
There are both positive and negative, and there are also a small number of people who have confidence in Zhang Yang, because Zhang Yang has indeed created a lot of miracles.
The media are busy reporting, and the actors in the entertainment industry are busy discussing whether to seize this opportunity.
When many actors heard the news for the first time, they couldn't wait to appear in Zhang Yang immediately, but when they learned that the new work was a ghost movie, they all died down.
Even the actors who still had thoughts about it hurriedly came to someone to discuss.
'Do you think we're going to fight for a role in this movie?'
No, the horror films shot at this time are destined not to be too good, what you have to do now is to take advantage of the popularity of the previous work to choose a mainstream work. ’
But after all, the director is flamboyant, and I think there is still hope. ’
Now that the outside world is singing about it, forget it. ’
Similar dialogues can be found in many of the actors' rooms.
It doesn't matter if it's a ghost movie or not, let's see if there's a chance. ’
Even if it's a ghost movie, I don't have anything to lose anyway. ’
‘......’
Compared with some actors who are famous and have already emerged, there are more newcomers who have gone downhill and have just entered the entertainment industry, and these people do not have so many scruples.
There has never been a shortage of such actors and newcomers in the entertainment industry.
......
Faced with similar doubts from the outside world and doubts about his new work, Zhang Yang just laughed it off after hearing it.
It's normal for the media and actors to have such thoughts, if it weren't for the memories of their past lives, maybe they would have such thoughts.
Ignoring the reaction of the outside world, Zhang Yang was busy preparing for his new work.
Because the summer vacation of this world is coming soon.
......
The preparation of "Happy Ghost" was handled by the rest of the studio, and Zhang Yang's main job was the audition of the actors.
After two days of screening, Zhang Yang and Li Qiang finally selected more than a dozen actors who met the role of the movie from a pile of actor materials for formal auditions.
Among these actors, except for the happy ghost role of 'Zhu Xiucai', the rest are all newcomer actors.
Of course, it is said that it is a rookie actor, not that these actors have just entered the entertainment industry, but that the newcomers are just because these actors have no famous roles, that is, they have no masterpieces.
In addition, this kind of actor does not have to pay in order to be famous, because such a person has low salary requirements, and he is often the most obedient to the rules of the crew.
This is also the reason why many big-name directors often like to use newcomers in their works.
'Boss, is this going to work?' ’
Rookie actors have advantages, of course, there are also disadvantages, such as acting skills and grasp of roles, rookie actors are definitely not as good as famous actors, this is a fact.
So when they saw the final list, Li Qiang, who auditioned with Zhang Yang, was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, except for the role of 'Zhu Xiucai', other roles don't require much acting skills, and this is originally a comedy-based work. ’
Indeed, if "Happy Ghost" excludes the 'Zhu Xiucai' in it, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a youth idol movie, and the requirements for actors' acting skills are very low.
'Director Zhang, I'm Li Feng. ’
'I'm Liu Mingzhu. ’
'I'm Lin Shanshan. ’
‘......’
After audition, Zhang Yang finally decided on the three heroines and male leads.
The actors who were not selected joined the supporting roles of the movie after being confirmed.
As an entertainment industry, there is no shortage of beauties, so the selected actresses can't help but be overjoyed to be able to star in a new work.
'It's a contract, so sign it if you think it's okay. ’
Seeing a group of young and beautiful girls in front of him, Zhang Yang was in a happy mood and took out the proposed contract.
'Thank you, Director Zhang. ’
‘......’
Seeing the contract that Zhang Yang took out, a group of girls just signed their names after reading it roughly.
'Brother Huang, this is your contract. ’
After a group of girls signed the contract and walked out happily, Zhang Yang took out a separate contract and handed it to the actor Huang Yi of 'Zhu Xiucai'.
The biggest reason why Huang Yi was chosen is because he looks very similar to the artist surnamed Huang who played the movie 'Zhu Xiucai' in his previous life, and Huang Yi also has a huge advantage that he has changed from a comedy sketch to an actor, and starring in this work is simply a match made in heaven.
'Thank you, thank you, Director Zhang. ’
Seeing that the salary on the contract turned out to be 200,000, Huang Yi suddenly became excited.
Interlacing is like separating mountains, and you will only understand this sentence after experiencing it yourself.
It has been a few years since he changed his career from comedy sketches to become an actor, and the highest salary Huang Yi has ever received is only 80,000, and it is still when he has just changed careers and is still famous.
After two years, it is long gone, and now that he has received a salary of 200,000 yuan at once, it is no wonder that Huang Yi is overjoyed.
