Chapter 228: Casting and Continuation
Who is the "Luo Ye" who loves to grab the sofa on the Internet in the entertainment industry, people who often go online in the young generation of China basically know that this is a cutting-edge and powerful actor, although it is rumored on the Internet that Luo Ye has a bad temper and serious machismo, but everyone has to admit that Luo Ye is one of the most likely to become one of the leading artists in the Chinese entertainment industry.
However, outsiders have always only known about his scenery, and they don't know the hardships behind the scenery, especially recently, Luo Ye is really troubled.
Luo Ye is a native of Linji Province, born in 1979, graduated from Beijing Opera, is a member of the Chinese Film Association, an actor of the National Theater, and debuted in 1998 with his first movie "Human Mountain Dog".
"Luo Ye's eyes are very pure and clean, and when he looks directly at you, the sincerity released in his eyes makes it difficult not to be impressed." - Sohu Entertainment.
"Luo Ye on the stage, his performance is perfect, his strong plasticity and talent in performance allow him to wander in literature and business, feminine and tough, restrained and explosive, and become one of the most influential first-line actors in the mainland." - Crooked entertainment commentary.
β¦β¦
However, since 17 years in the industry, although Luo Ye has won many awards and been praised by industry insiders and media, his career has begun to fall into a bottleneck. What's more, Luo Ye has created hundreds of screen images, but none of them can be called deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Not only did Luo Ye feel speechless about this, but the outside world felt sorry for him.
In many roles, Luo Ye has performed the essence of the gods, and has won many actor awards because of this, but for the outside world, or more importantly, for ordinary audiences. These characters are not likable, they were just amazed by Luo Ye's acting skills for a while, but they were forgotten in an instant.
For an actor, there is nothing more regrettable.
Although it is said that a popular role will restrict the development of an actor, if you want to become a big name in the circle and a real superstar, it is absolutely impossible to have a role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Besides. The commercial value is also not reflected.
For example, Tang Xinya, anyone who sees her face will think of "Huang Rong", and major businesses and advertisers also value Tang Xinya very much, the endorsement fee has risen to five million, and the appearance fee has to be million, which is much higher than Luo Ye, who has won the actor award.
Looking at the road to the top of any superstar, who hasn't played a lot of roles that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
As soon as the audience sees this superstar, they will immediately think of one classic role after another that he has played, which is a matter of recognition. It is also the heritage of Uranus.
In the circle, there are more actors with acting skills, and there are not a few actors who have won the actor award, but only a limited number of people can become real superstars, and the reason is here.
didn't want the star of the superstar to be a good star, Luo Ye naturally wanted to go further.
Because of this, Luo Ye is very troubled, and his temper has grown a lot recently.
"People on the edge? Mystery movies? There is a mistake in the wood...... "Look at the movie script passed by the agent Jin Zhu." Luo Ye immediately complained.
Jin Zhu was speechless for a moment, and patiently persuaded: "There are fewer and fewer good scripts. The classic characters can't be found with lanterns. So, for the sake of money, as long as the script is passable, I suggest you take it. β
Luo Ye scratched his head, and was so irritated that he wanted to throw away the script, but after thinking about it, the salary proposed by the other party was five million. So I still patiently opened the script.
The salary of five million movies is nothing for the real kings, they are often thirty or forty million, and it is not for nothing that there are more than fifty million; Even for super popular actors, this salary is not high. For example, Tang Xinya, her salary has also risen to this amount; But for Luo Ye, this salary is very good.
Under normal circumstances, Luo Ye's salary fluctuates around four million.
The other party directly raised the price of one million to invite him, and the sincerity is not insufficient.
Ten minutes later, Luo Ye finished reading the script, sighed and threw the script away, and began to complain again: "The script is so-so, and it is this kind of old-fashioned truth and lie, the audience should be tired of it, right?" If you want literature and art, you will simply be literary and artistic to the end, and if you want business, you will be commercial first, so that you are not embarrassed or embarrassed to be commercial and artistic, but you don't have the ability to integrate them together, isn't this the four likes? β
The plot of "Man on the Edge" is simple, the protagonist falls into a puzzle in order to find his missing fiancΓ©e, and the same is true for another person, and then the lives of the two men are intertwined, acting out a contest of intelligence and mental strength......
For this kind of plot, if it weren't for the high salary, he would directly say that it would be bloody.
Limited by political factors, films in mainland China have always had a strong subjective will of the creators, and they need to have the function of conveying "philosophy" to the audience. To put it simply, a movie needs to tell the audience certain truths and promote the main theme of society, which is often referred to as "literary and artistic atmosphere".
Therefore, mainland films have always been literary and artistic, and there are no pure commercial blockbusters at all.
It is also because of the opening up that the film has been marketized, and commercial films have flourished in the mainland.
However, the atmosphere of literature and art has never been shaken off, so many movies in the mainland now seem a bit nondescript, and directors are still exploring.
The cast of "People on the Edge" is not bad, in addition to him, the other male number two is the famous martial arts action superstar Zhou Mingzhuo in the mainland, and the female protagonist is a beautiful star in the country of sticks.
"Then do you take it or not?" Jin Zhu picked up the script and asked.
Luo Ye smiled bitterly, and was about to say that when he answered, the tablet on the table suddenly came with a "muttering" sound, and then a sweet electronic synthesis voice sounded: "Master, someone has sent you a new email, do you want to take a look?" β
"New mail?"
Luo Ye was stunned for a moment, and quickly clicked on the tablet and entered the email.
The sender shows "Red Star Film Investment Company" and the title reads "Sincerely invite Mr. Luo to participate in the audition for the actor in the new movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
"Hurry up and take a look." Jin Zhu couldn't sit still anymore on the side, and immediately urged.
Luo Ye was a little distracted by a huge surprise, and only reacted after being urged by Jin Zhu. Hurry up and click on the email to see the contents.
The content is very simple, that is, he was invited to audition for the actor "Ling Hu Chong" in the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but the person who signed the payment showed "Stephen Zhao".
"Mr. Zhao invited me to audition for Ling Hu Chong? I'm not dreaming, am I? Luo Ye muttered to himself, and subconsciously pinched the right side of his face with his hand.
The pinprick-like pain made Luo Ye gasp with a "hiss", and then excitedly grabbed Jin Zhu's arm and smiled: "Hahaha...... let that person hell on the edge." We're going to leave for the city now. β
Who is Stephen Zhao, after the "ghostwriting door", except for ignorant children and old people whose memory began to decline, there is no one who does not know him, he is a great writer and literati who can really be said to be a household name!
Seven steps into a poem, on the spot "The Decisive Battle of the Forbidden Peak", Zhao Xingchi is famous in China.
In the entertainment industry, Stephen Zhao, who has gone through this battle, has become a "giant" comparable to the big names in the circle, such as the CEO of the Rey Brothers, the CEO of Orange Red Entertainment, and the CEO of Haitian Film and Television.
For a star, if someone has a relationship with Stephen Zhao. He or she must have increased his exposure and instantly become a super-popular star in China. In addition, what makes insiders value Stephen Zhao's talent even more, music, TV series, movies, there is nothing he can't play, a casual mention is enough to make people stabilize the "star position", or even go further.
Look at Ding Xiaofei, look at Lin Yuner. Look at Yuan Changsong, and then look at Tang Xinya. Who didn't become popular or go further because of Stephen Zhao?
Even Zhou Bing, who has only recently been in contact with Stephen Zhao, has caused a scandal, which has caused a sensation and won many front-page headlines in the media.
Of course, the reason why Luo Ye was pleasantly surprised was not because he valued the fame bonus that Stephen Zhao brought him. What he values is the role of "Linghu Chong".
The role of "Linghu Chong" is destined to be a classic movie role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and whoever plays it is popular is what he lacks the most!
Jin Zhu asked a little worriedly: "Mr. Zhao's previous two movies "East Becomes West" and "Huashan on the Sword" have hit the street at the box office, although Zhou Bing was invited to play one of the roles this time, what if he continues to hit the street?" So. Do you think more about the following? β
Luo Ye thought about it for a while, but after pondering for a while, he still adhered to his previous judgment, and said: "No one dares to guarantee that their movies will not hit the streets, and they just do their best to obey the fate of heaven." Moreover, the box office of "Huashan on the Sword" and "East Becomes West" is hitting the street, but the DVD market is very hot. Therefore, martial arts films are still very marketable, and their influence is also very considerable, I believe this is a good opportunity. β
Having said that, Jin Zhu had no reason to persuade him anymore, and then he got up and went out.
In addition to booking a ticket to go to the magic capital, she is also worried, how to refuse the warm invitation of the producer of "People on the Edge"?
β¦β¦
Luo Ye agreed. Qian Minli walked into Stephen Zhao's office and reported to him.
"Just say yes, I hope he can satisfy me. The role of Ling Hu Chong is really nerve-wracking. Zhao Xingchi rubbed his forehead and said tiredly.
After the ghostwriting door, he sent a scarf that strongly supported the "spirit of fighting fakes", Luo Ye immediately grabbed the sofa, which made him speechless and at the same time, his heart moved, and he deliberately checked Luo Ye's information, and found that Luo Ye's acting skills are still very good, and his handsome appearance is also quite suitable for playing Ling Hu Chong, so he sent an audition invitation to the past. I didn't expect Luo Ye to give face so quickly.
"Who makes you so demanding, this one is not satisfied and that one is not satisfied." Qian Minli gave him a blank look, and automatically walked over to gently massage his head.
"You're still the best Minmin!" Zhao Xingchi took a comfortable breath, and then opened the word document to start coding, "The Condor Heroes" is not over yet.
Qian Minli smiled and looked at him quietly like this.
When the latest chapter was completed, Qian Minli had already put her arms around his neck affectionately, her chin resting on his right shoulder, and suddenly asked with a smile: "When will your decisive battle for the top of the Forbidden City be completed, I heard that not only are there strong requests from book fans, but even film and television companies have called you to talk about it in person?" β
Stephen Zhao smiled: "At least I have to wait for me to finish "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"." (To be continued......)
