So far, the heroine of "No Thieves in the World" has been reduced to one candidate: Liu Ruoying. It's not exactly the acting factor, mainly due to Chen Guofu's recommendation.

Chen Guofu is a Taiwanese filmmaker, producer, screenwriter, director, producer, doing everything. Liu Ruoying's first play "My Beauty and Sorrow" is his work, which can be regarded as Bole. Moreover, there has always been some kind of ambiguous underground relationship between the two.

This time and process are much more tortuous than Chen Sheng's story, nearly ten years, but unfortunately she is still in love with no results.

Chen Guofu has a very good relationship with Huayi, and the people he recommends, the Wang brothers naturally have to pay special attention to it. At first, Feng Xiaogang was also very inclined to Liu Ruoying, thinking of matching with Liu Dehua, and the age image was just right. But now, the male protagonist has been replaced by Chu Qing, and Director Feng has made up for that style of painting: a good wife and mother, a simple and honest, and the whole rural love story.

To put it bluntly, just by looking at it with your eyes, you know that they can't spark.

Therefore, Liu Ruoying regretted being out.

And Zhang Ziyi is not interested, Zhang Baizhi has no schedule, and Zhao Wei is not suitable, if Zhou Xun is chosen, Rong Xinda still has to deal with it, Hua Yi is not afraid, but it is a little troublesome.

After all, this is a fucking co-production, and the preparations in advance are all based on the Hong Kong male protagonist + mainland female protagonist, OR Hong Kong double protagonist + mainland supporting role, and now the male protagonist has changed, and a qiē pushes it down and starts over.

So, Feng Xiaogang wanted to ask Chu Qing, which meant recommending a few reliable Hong Kong Hua Dan.

As a result, the goods popped out of Zhou, Zhou, Zhou Xun, and he was still very shy.

At this moment, Director Feng was speechless and reminded: "I mean, are there any outstanding actresses in Hong Kong?" ”

"Oh. Hong Kong, I want to think about ......"

Chu Qing was thick-skinned, and immediately turned the corner and said, "If you are younger, just Zhang Baizhi and Lin Jiaxin." ”

"Zhang Baizhi, we have been in contact, but it didn't work out, Lin Jiaxin, I really didn't pay much attention to it."

After a pause, he euphemistically said that it was actually PASS.

This time, Chu Qing understood in seconds. But it's also very strange, asking: "Hey Director Feng, why do you have to find Hong Kong?" ”

"Hey, isn't this a co-production!"

"Does the co-production stipulate that the male and female protagonists must be played on one side, and the supporting roles cannot be played?" He's even weirder.

"That's not true, there is no limit to the proportion of their actors, but ......" Feng Xiaogang suddenly got stuck as he spoke, and found that he couldn't take it anymore.

But what? He didn't want to admit it.

"Director Feng?"

"Director Feng?"

There was silence for a while, and Chu Qing didn't know why. I had to ask repeatedly.

After half a minute, Feng Xiao smiled in a dumb voice just now: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I'll think about it again." Let's put it first! ”

After saying that, he hung up with a snap.

“……”

He was holding his mobile phone inexplicably, but he didn't think much about it, and was about to call his daughter-in-law again. Lao Jia shouted again, so he had to pout his lips and hurriedly ran over.

……

Night. Capital.

A silver commercial vehicle drove on Jiannei Street, with neon flashes on both sides and pedestrians. This car is Wang Zhonglei's car, he and Director Feng have just finished dinner and are on their way home.

The air conditioner was blowing warmly, and Wang Zhonglei was wearing only a shirt, bowing his head and tinkering with his mobile phone, as if he was texting. There are so many things every day that you can't stop for a moment.

After pressing it for a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because Feng Xiaogang was a very poor person, and he talked everywhere, but now he was surprisingly quiet.

He turned his head to look to the side, only to see the thing with his eyes closed and his head tilted back, so he asked, "Hey, you haven't drunk much, you're dizzy?" ”

"Nope."

Director Feng opened his eyes, slowed down for two seconds, and said, "I've been thinking about something since yesterday, tsk, completely wrapping myself around." ”

"What's the matter?" Brother Xiao Lei put down his phone and became a little interested.

"You said that now, the policy is good, the market is open, and the movie is going to rise, but why am I panicking, it's not practical!"

"Hey, you're just asking for trouble, just go home and get some sleep." Brother Xiao Lei smiled, picked up the phone and clicked it again.

"No, absolutely not."

He leaned forward and said, "Just talking about this co-production, I have never been able to figure out whether it is good or bad." It's definitely good for the market, but it's not necessarily good for our own people. A few days ago, I watched "Infernal Affairs 3", and as soon as TD appeared, I was very twisted, and I didn't fit in with the people around me, ouch, I really wanted to pull him out with one hand. ”

"Heh, isn't the context and cultural atmosphere different, mainland actors are not adapted to Hong Kong. Besides, it's all a family, don't be so detailed. The other party said casually.

"Hey, that's the bad food, they pretended to be stupid and took advantage, but we had an opinion, so let's just say it's a family. I thought, if we used to play a supporting role in their movie, it would be reasonable. But this is a co-production, let's also contribute money and efforts, you said that actors like Ming are all supporting roles for them in it, and when Hong Kong directors enter the market in the future, let those second-tier ones run a trick, do you dare not act? If you don't act, you won't have anything to eat! ”

When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he put down his mobile phone again and said: "What you said is a bit too much, Hong Kong has enough business experience and knows how to make box office, we are just starting out, many places are immature, and we need to learn from others." ”

Feng Xiaogang waved his hand and said: "I admit that I have to study, but learning does not mean being cheap, just come over and have to offer, and you have to get seven million yuan." Now our best actors play supporting roles for them, and as soon as this head is opened, they will slowly get used to it in the future, and they all feel that the mainland goods are worthless. And according to the current shape, it must not be over yet, China and Hong Kong have been opened, and when Taiwan comes again, Hollywood will come again, encircled and suppressed on three sides, how do you let us live? ”

At this time, the car had entered his community, the environment was elegant, the street lights were blurred, and the girl looked outside, wanting to speak.

"Okay, okay, sit down again, you have to say that you are not happy today, and it will be a matter in the future." Brother Xiao Lei knew him too well, so he took the initiative to hold him.

Feng Dao Yile sat down firmly and continued: "Actually, I know that I really want to join forces to force them to be anxious, and I will educate them above, can you have a little bit of a big picture, talk about politics, and let people eat?" Alas. It's useless! ”

He scratched his brain, made a very dry and dry swishing sound, and sighed: "I've been thinking that I've taken this wrong step lately." From "Party A and Party B" to the present, I and Youzi have fought the world, not relying on Hong Kong big names, not relying on Taiwan stars, all relying on the domestic audience's face. "Big Names" wanted to sell it to the United States, but they were all panicked! This will be a good environment, and the mind will be alive again. But think about it, tsk, crooked. ”

“……”

Wang Zhonglei, as one of the parties who accompanied him all the way, fully understood the other party's feelings, and couldn't say anything, just listened silently.

"It's like "No Thieves in the World", the money is enough, but the work is embarrassing. Let's take the lion's own head, our own team. 's own book, its own place, I have to listen to their constraints! ”

"Huh?"

Wang Zhonglei suddenly stirred his mind and said hurriedly: "What." What else do you mean? ”

"Me? I don't mean anything else, it depends on what you mean. Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.

…………

February 14th.

After Huayi's internal discussions, discussions with two other mainland investors, and discussions with Fan Xiaoye. The decision was finally made.

Communicate with the Film Bureau, withdraw the previous co-production project, and re-establish the project with the nature of a domestic film. There are four investors: Huayi Brothers, Taihe Film and Television, Forbidden City Film and Television, and Our Two Studios.

The total investment in "No Thieves" is $4 million. That's about 35 million RMB. Huayi accounted for one-third, the studio accounted for one-third, and was responsible for overseas distribution, and the rest was undertaken by those two.

Media Asia, on the other hand, took the initiative to withdraw due to large differences with all parties in the selection of roles.

Or rather, kicked out.

So far, "No Thieves in the World" has become an out-and-out domestic film, except that it cannot be applied for the Academy Awards, the nature has not changed much, and even in terms of publicity and theaters, it has taken a certain convenience.

Because the biggest preferential policy for co-productions is to enjoy the same treatment as domestic films...... It's not useful.

It can be said that Huayi has revised its previous strategic deployment this time, abandoning the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets and conquering the mainland. Removing Feng Xiaogang's insistence, Fan Xiaoye's super generosity in terms of funds is also an important element.

She didn't discuss it with Chu Qing, so she made her own decision.

It's so annoying! Grinding and chirping, picking and choosing, the mainland and Hong Kong, you don't do it...... Now it's okay, it becomes your own thing, and the world is clean in an instant, as long as you make sure that my husband appears, you can play.

After Chu Qing found out, he just gave a few words of training, and he didn't care too much.

I think that at the beginning, I invested 6 million in "Infernal Affairs", and I was very worried, how could I have little capital. Now, 10 million will be thrown away, although there are some concerns, but the mood is different.

If you stand higher, your horizons will naturally be far away, not to mention, MK2 also sent a message a while ago, saying that the dividends of "Blind Well" are coming soon.

I don't know the exact amount, but I am inexplicably very confident.

February 20th.

Fan Xiaoye announced his new film plan and joined Wu Shixian's second film "Waiting Alone", starring the heroine Liu Rong.

This character is not very likable, very realistic, and if you're welcome, she's a. But if you think about it carefully, you can't hate it, such a girl lives around her, a lot, very real.

In the film market full of main themes and small citizen themes, "Waiting Alone" is a rare urban comedy, exquisite, in place, fun, and reliable.

She nodded in agreement, wanting to challenge the style.

February 22 was a complicated day.

Nandu took the lead in breaking out the list of actors in "No Thieves in the World", a long list, including Chu Qing, Ge You, Wang Baoqiang, Li Bingbing, Fu Biao, Fan Wei, Feng Yuanzheng, You Yong, Zhang Hanyu, and the actor Liao Fan of Four Eyes, and the final heroine: Zhou Xun.

Then, the domestic entertainment industry suddenly became a sensation, and the topics focused on Chu Qing's first big movie and Zhou Xun's weird participation.

For a time, Zhou Xun and Huayi secretly communicated with each other, and rumors of Huayi and Rong Xinda's interest exchange filled all major pages.

Truth or falsehood is not known, but it doesn't matter, because ......

Master Fan has already exploded! (To be continued......)
