Chapter 204: Role Decision
A few words made the strangeness between the three people a lot less, and in the end, none of the three of them talked about business, but began to chat, and with the conversation, they became familiar with each other a lot, and they spoke a lot more casually, which was the main topic.
Xiao Jian took out two photocopied scripts and handed them to the two of them, explaining: "Brother Long, Rong Zai, I asked you to come over this time because I am about to shoot a new film, this is the script, you can read it first." ”
Stretched out his hand to take over the script, the two of them had already expected Xiao Jian's intention, so they were not surprised, and they didn't say anything, since the two of them came today, they said that they were very interested in taking this film, so they didn't politely ask anything, but read the script together.
Taking the reactions of the two into his eyes, Xiao Jian was not surprised, to put it mildly, he invited Dillon to film ten years earlier, he begged the other party, and he also begged the other party to find Zhang Guorong to film ten years later, but now, it is definitely a kind of cooperation for him to find two people to film.
At this time, both Dillon and Zhang Guorong are at a low point in their acting careers, but Xiao Jian is different, in Hong Kong now, when it comes to literary directors, he may not even rank in the top 20, but when it comes to commercial directors, no one dares to admit the first.
It is also based on the current situation of the two that Xiao Jian decided to give these two roles to the two according to the 'history', after all, sending charcoal in the snow is not the icing on the cake that can be compared, if the two of them become famous in this movie, then he is like charcoal in the snow for the two.
With this relationship, the friendship between the three people is naturally not ordinary, and it is absolutely incumbent on the two to find two people to act in the future, or to trouble each other with something.
Of course, with Xiao Jian's strength, he doesn't take it very seriously, but in this circle, connections are sometimes really important, and he can't be allowed to operate carelessly, just like now, he has a relationship with Dillon, and the stars of the 70s naturally have some friendship with him, and it will naturally be much easier for him to find these people when he has something.
Of course, these are just trivial matters, the most important thing is that Xiao Jian admires the character of the two people in front of him very much, this kind of person you make friends with, then the other party will definitely treat you as a friend, you have something The other party will definitely rush to the front line for you, and he will never have too many friends.
"I named this movie "The True Color of Heroes", the screenwriter, director, and producer will be me, and I don't have to worry about investing in anything, I initially expect that the investment in this film will reach about 15 million Hong Kong dollars, and if it is not enough, it can be added." Watching the two of them read the script carefully, Xiao Jian introduced softly, so that the two of them could understand the movie faster and better, as well as his determination.
After hearing Xiao Jian say that the initial budget is 15 million, which is not enough, both Zhang Guorong and Dillon couldn't help but be shocked, after all, in Hong Kong in this era, movies with an investment of 10 million are rare, let alone 15 million.
Of course, it's not nothing, just like Jiahe's investment in several films is very large, Xiao Jian's 15 million is really nothing compared to it, but people's movies are aimed at the European and American markets, earning dollars, and investment is naturally dollars, and the two cannot be compared.
While being frightened of the strength of Xiao Jian, both Zhang Guorong and Dillon are looking forward to the movie in their hands, in fact, this time they are just going through the motions, with the situation of the two of them in the entertainment industry now, if they can receive the role in Xiao Jian's movie, or the leading actor, then naturally there is no reason to refuse.
Even, in order to get on the line with Xiao Jian, not to mention the male protagonist, it is a cameo, or even a supporting role, both of them will agree, the reason why they came to read the script this time is to get to know Xiao Jian, and the other is to avoid being pitted, although the possibility of being cheated is very small, but, in this circle, pits similar to "Spring in Red Mansions" are not uncommon, and two people cannot be allowed to treat them carelessly.
And now after seeing the 15 million 'huge investment', both of them have decided to participate, but the script still has to be read, after all, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship.
Looking at the two people who watched the script carefully, the smile on Xiao Jian's face became thicker and thicker, and he continued to introduce: "This film is a men's play, there are not many female characters, and even the heroine does not have many scenes, the most important thing is that there are three male roles, and Song Zijie, Song Zihao, and Xiaoma The three roles can be described as the protagonists, and these three roles are played by the three of us. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhang Guorong, Xiao Jian said with a smile: "Rong Zai plays Song Zijie, this role is a young police officer with a sense of justice and professionalism in his heart, he is Song Zihao's younger brother, many times his actions reflect the heroism of the two characters of Brother Xiao Ma and Song Zihao, in the end, the bloody battle in the port and the death of Brother Xiao Ma made him understand that being a brother should be affectionate, and a new hero grows up." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely play this role well, and I won't let you down." Zhang Guorong nodded confidently, he was very satisfied with this role, there were many places for him to play, and the difficulty was not as difficult as Xiaoma and Song Zihao, he was sure to play this role well.
Turning his head to look at Dillon, Xiao Jian continued: "Brother Long disguises Song Zihao, this character has a calm and calm personality, is not afraid of danger, is not chaotic, and is full of the bearing of a big brother, I think only Brother Long can perfectly perform the meaning of this role in the whole of Hong Kong." ”
"Xiao Sheng, you are too complimentary." Dillon waved his hand again and again, although he didn't dare to accept this compliment, but he still showed a confident look on his face, he felt that this role was simply tailor-made for him, and if he played it badly, he would have no face.
"The last little pony is played by me." Xiao Jian said solemnly, but when he spoke, he couldn't help but show a strange look on his face.
Neither Zhang Guorong nor Dillon were surprised by this decision, after all, Xiao Jian would play a role in every film in the past, and this time it would naturally not be surprising.
What's more, Xiao Jian is the screenwriter, director, producer, and investor of this play, and the two of them are not qualified to care what role he wants to play, not to mention, they still have a positive view on Xiao Jian's acting skills.
As for the strangeness on Xiao Jian's face, the two of them didn't notice it.
Having said this, Zhang Guorong and the two glanced at each other, neither hesitated, and immediately agreed to take over the role. (To be continued.) )
