And as Lin Yuquan said to the company's employees, the leisurely days are over, and with the start of the preparations for the two films "Huo Yuanjia" and "Green Meadow", the entire Shuguang Film Company suddenly ran like a machine running with all its might.

Shuguang Film Company is the company name changed by Lin Yuquan himself, CITIC Film and Television has too obvious traces of Zhang Zhongxin, naturally it cannot be retained, and CITIC itself is not famous in the entertainment industry and the public, and changing the name has no impact. The reason why it is named Dawn Film and Television is the meaning of the dawn itself.

On the one hand, the dawn refers to the dawn of the sun, imagine that in the vast darkness, the sudden light illuminates the whole world, such a picture is such a beautiful dream, and this kind of instant transition and transformation between two completely different colors from darkness to light, and what kind of earth-shaking change and power. Lin Yuquan also hopes that the films produced by himself and the company can bring a new change to the domestic film industry and the world film industry, instead of blindly plagiarizing and repeating.

On the other hand, the dawn represents light and hope, which is actually Lin Yuquan's biggest heart, he still remembers the pain and sadness in his heart when he broke up with Huang Shengyi, if nothing else, he is afraid that he will be haunted by it for the rest of his life, at that time, it was the memory of the cultivator that gave him light and hope. In fact, everyone goes through painful times of one kind or another, some people come out quickly, and some people are unable to extricate themselves. Now Lin Yuquan hopes that the films produced by himself and the company can become a seed carrying the dawn, so that the moviegoers can break through the frozen darkness, feel the light and hope, and be positive, optimistic, brave and strong to chase their own future.

As the first or second part of the system after the establishment of Shuguang Film Company, "Huo Yuanjia" and "Green Meadow" undoubtedly carry Lin Yuquan's pursuit and goal, which can be described as a heavy responsibility, so Lin Yuquan's requirements are undoubtedly strict.

For this reason, the company is naturally extremely busy, of course, as a person who requires himself, Lin Yuquan himself is also very busy, both personal and work, such as the congratulations of friends in the film academy, like Liu Yifei chatted with him several times after filming, and then asked Zhang Huijun, Xie Fei, Jiang Li and others for leave to explain the situation, and although the operation of the film company is responsible for the operation, as the boss, he also needs to sign and agree, not to mention, he is the director of the movie "Huo Yuanjia", Film-related preparations, such as actors, lighting, cinematographers, venues, costumes, and props, are almost inseparable from him.

And one of the biggest headaches for him is the actor.

In Lin Yuquan's view, if a movie wants to be successful, three kinds of people can be said to play a decisive role, one is the screenwriter, a good story is the basic element of attraction, and it is often the decisive factor; The second is the director, the director is like the supreme commander of the army, and the quality of a film is largely determined by the director's supreme cultivation and cultivation; The third is the actor, the actor is the stage presenter of the script and the public's intuitive perception of the movie, and their own image and acting ability are related to the success or failure of the movie.

The director and screenwriter are himself, and there is nothing to pick and choose this part of, so for the cast, Lin Yuquan hopes that the formation will not only meet the standards, but also strive for perfection.

But the perfect cast can not be formed lightly.

In the office of the chairman of the new Shuguang Film Company, Lin Yuquan, Ning Hao, Xiao Yang and several management leaders of the company are discussing film-related preparations, and the atmosphere is a little solemn.

"Then let's move on to the next topic, Manager He, you are responsible for the contact with the actors, I don't know how Li Lianjie's agent replied, do you agree to star in our movie?" Lin Yuquan looked at He Liwen, who was second in his right, and asked with the text in his hand, he was the manager of the art department, and he was fully responsible for the company's manufacturing business.

"The situation is not very good, and it is said that our filming time is in conflict with the schedule of "Danny Wolf Dog" that Jet Li is going to shoot, not only asking for all the scenes of Li Lianjie to be filmed before September, but also refusing to accept our proposed remuneration method of 10 million yuan + 10% box office share, but directly quoted 10 million US dollars, saying that it should be at least the same as his salary in Hollywood."

Everyone in the office gasped.

"My goodness, this is a money grab! 10 million US dollars, according to the current RMB exchange rate, that is 82.77 million yuan, this is just his salary, do you really treat our movie as a Hollywood movie? Speaking of salary, how much can the total domestic investment reach this figure now, count it over and down, and Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" and Chen Kaige's upcoming "Wuji", even if you count Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are not a few movies, who can afford this price! Xiao Ran, the manager of the operation department in charge of publicity and distribution, sighed.

"Hmph, $10 million, Jet Li's agent is really good, Jet Li's highest salary in Hollywood is $7.5 million in "Savior", which is the same as Hollywood, and how can domestic film salaries be charged the same as Hollywood, it is said that he only charged $3 million for filming Zhang Yi's "Hero"?" Xiao Yang said dissatisfiedly, it seems that he has a deep grudge against Li Lianjie's agent.

"There's no way, we are not famous now, we can only negotiate and sign a contract with his agent, otherwise we can talk to him in person, and I can convince him with sincerity and conception, but the agent, because it is linked to his own interests, the other party must be out of salary considerations, and Li Lianjie's current worth is indeed relatively high, he is willing to take over the filming of "Hero" for 3 million US dollars, mainly to give Zhang Yi a certain face, and change to other directors, even if the salary is not 10 million US dollars, it will not be less than 5 million US dollars. Since the other party is unwilling to accept the method of 10 million yuan + 10% box office share, we can only replace people. Lin Yuquan shook his head helplessly, and made a difficult decision, if "Huo Yuanjia" was filmed in a year, he would definitely try his best to fight for it, but not now, the funds are limited, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Several other people also agreed, even if the other party only received 5 million US dollars, it would be 40 million yuan, and the total investment in "Huo Yuanjia" was only how much, and it would be able to pay Li Lianjie's salary alone, the question is, how will the movie be filmed at that time?

"So who should I replace?" Ning Hao asked, during the previous discussion, according to Lin Yuquan's requirements, Li Lianjie should be the most suitable actor.

Lin Yuquan was silent, this question is really nerve-wracking.

In the movie "Huo Yuanjia", the most important role is undoubtedly Huo Yuanjia, in Lin Yuquan's own conception, Huo Yuanjia should be a hero who values love and righteousness and is full of patriotic blood, so the actor should first have the image and temperament of this righteous hero.

Moreover, as a kung fu movie, Lin Yuquan hopes that his movie can show the real kung fu in front of the world, rather than relying on stunts to fiddle with tricks, so that the actor who plays Huo Yuanjia must have a solid martial arts foundation.

Moreover, Huo Yuanjia created the "Lost Trace Boxing Method" and founded the "Jingwumen", which really has the style of a generation of grandmasters, so this actor must undoubtedly have the ability to show such a grandmaster style.

Combining these three points, in the entire Chinese film industry, in fact, only Li Lianjie, Zhen Zidan, and Zhao Wenzhuo basically meet this requirement, and among them, Li Lianjie is naturally the most suitable, and his influence can also have a huge role in promoting the movie.

If it is Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo, the effect will be greatly reduced.

For Lin Yuquan, who is bent on making his own movies better, he is really unwilling to do this unless he has to.

"I don't think you have to worry about it, or you can do the math." Xiao Yang muttered in a low voice, as Lin Yuquan's friend, of course he knew Lin Yuquan's thoughts.

"I'm going to play Huo Yuanjia?" Lin Yuquan's spirit was shocked, and he only felt that a bright light crossed his heart, and he suddenly opened up.

Seeing that Lin Yuquan seemed to be thinking about it, He Liwen, Xiao Ran, General Manager Ding Value, and Administrative Manager Fang Qing, who didn't know the inside story, couldn't help but look at Lin Yuquan and Xiao Yang with some doubts.

Xiao Yang immediately said that Lin Yuquan knows boxing and is proficient in martial arts instruction, as well as learning in the acting class, under his description, Lin Yuquan is simply a combination of Yuan Heping and Li Lianjie, which attracted the eyes of the four people to look at Lin Yuquan full of surprise, and Lin Yuquan's delicate appearance can also be called handsome.

"Is the boss's acting skills really okay? Huo Yuanjia is the soul of the whole movie, occupying the most important role and position, if he doesn't act well, the whole movie will be ruined. Ding Wei asked.

"Rest assured, his acting skills are absolutely top in our acting class at Kyoto Film Academy, and he is deeply praised by his mentor." Xiao Yang said proudly that although he had never seen Lin Yuquan's performance in person, he could know that Lin Yuquan's acting skills were good from Jiang Li's attention to him and Jiang Yan and Zhu Yawen's daily words.

Ning Hao also nodded, although he had not known Lin Yuquan and others for a long time, he still admired Lin Yuquan's amazing ability very much, and he had heard others mention the amazing table that Lin Yuquan had staged in the acting class, although he was performing ancient knights at that time, and now Huo Yuanjia is a national hero and a boxing master, but the two are still similar in many details.

The eyes of the four of them became more and more surprised, they were handsome and had outstanding acting skills, and they were still a director, and there were really a lot of flashes on Lin Yuquan's body.

Xiao Ran, the operation manager, slapped the table even more violently, and said excitedly: "Boss, this is true, right!" Then what else are you thinking about, it's up to you to act! This is actually a very good topic, think about it, a large-scale production with an investment of at least 30 million, the director, screenwriter and starring actor, it turned out to be the same person, and this person is actually just a newcomer, once such an unprecedented crazy move is exposed, those entertainment news media are not like a shark smelling blood, and it is bound to bring an amazing topic effect to our movie, achieving twice the publicity effect with half the effort. ”

The rest of the people are also eye-catching, if Lin Yuquan can really play Huo Yuanjia well, then this should be the best way, not only saving shooting costs and publicity expenses, but also playing a sensational publicity effect.

For a while, everyone stared at Lin Yuquan quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.

Lin Yuquan carefully analyzed the feasibility of him playing Huo Yuanjia, it is true that he is not a well-known star, nor is he a professional actor, if he plays Huo Yuanjia, he is far inferior to Li Lianjie in terms of box office appeal, and even Zhen Zidan, Zhao Wenzhuo and others, but after thinking about it, he has no advantage, he dare not say other roles, but in the case of referring to the memory of cultivators, he is confident that no one will be able to play the image of a generation of grandmasters with superb boxing skills better than himself.

And isn't what he is pursuing is to use the memories of cultivators to make movies and achieve greater achievements than Huang Shengyi? If it is another investor, you may be afraid of the box office, but do you need to care? If he makes money, he can make more money by gambling on stones, and in addition to the box office appeal of the movie, he thinks that there is no place that can not compare to Li Lianjie.

In this case, what is there to hesitate, if he doesn't do it, he will do it better, as long as it is a wonderful movie, even if the movie is not as high as played by Li Lianjie, in the eyes of the media, his results will still be higher than Huang Shengyi's, after all, Huang Shengyi is just a heroine, and the most successful part of Zhou Xingchi's movies is always because he is Zhou Xingchi.

"Okay, Huo Yuanjia will be played by me."

"Hehe, it seems that my construction is good." Xiao Yang laughed, he actually just said it casually, but he didn't expect everyone to agree.

"Don't talk nonsense, we need to readjust the cast next, before considering the addition of Li Lianjie, in order to save money, so in other main roles, we didn't consider too many stars, more in line with economy and practicality, but now since I play Huo Yuanjia, then in order to make up for the impact of my own lack of fame, I think the weight of other roles must be enhanced, Huo Yuanjia's opponent in four fights, I think I invite Zhen Zidan, the British boxing champion Lennox who just retired this year. Lewis, Russian World Muay Thai Champion Muslim Abdulaev, and Isao Machii, a famous Iaido who is now very famous in Japan, will star in the four. Lin Yuquan said in a deep voice, in fact, in terms of actors, he has already made a lot of ideas, but now it is just a slight adjustment.

"Zhen Zidan is okay to say, but the other people you said are all competitive people, how should we invite each other to participate in the movie?" He Liwen asked suspiciously.

"Moreover, their salary for participating in the movie should not be cheap!" General Manager Ding Wei added.

"The salary should not be too high, and the most important thing is how to convince them to come and participate in a Chinese film?" Ning Hao shook his head.

"You just have to contact, and I'll have a way to do it then." Lin Yuquan said in his chest that when he proposed this plan, he thought of a countermeasure.
