Chapter 532: "Red Cliff" and "Painted Skin"
"Gold Group Investment, 80 million investment?"
Zhao Wenzhuo's agent's eyes immediately lit up, "What notice did they send?" Is it for you to be the starring role? ”
As for the oriental fantasy genre.
He didn't care.
There is a gold medal group and 80 million investment, as for whether this movie and Zhao Wenzhuo are compatible and whether they will pounce, he doesn't care, he cares more about his own pocket.
"Let me be the male number two, but it's just an audition notice."
Zhao Wenzhuo grabbed the script with both hands and grabbed it tightly, "Although it is only the second male lead, judging from the script, the role is not too weak than the male lead, but it is just ......." ”
He hesitated.
Audition notification.
When he reaches his status, what is sent is not an invitation but a notice, which means that at least one actor who is no less than him in status and fame participates in the competition with him.
It also means that the face crew can't pay attention to who to give this role to.
Everyone competes together.
"Audition notification?"
Zhao Wenzhuo's agent immediately shouted, "A supporting actor actually gave an audition notice, do they think you can't play a small supporting role?" That's too contemptuous of people! ”
Zhao Wenzhuo is also a top-line star, and he used to be so red and purple, but now a little male supporting actor also gave an audition notice, and he suddenly felt insulted.
"Instead of complaining here, you can help me find out who is competing with me." Zhao Wenzhuo suppressed the complaints of his agent.
He didn't want to miss it.
Gold Medal Group invested, and Ryo Mizuno was the screenwriter. This movie, he is going to decide.
"Perhaps, this movie will be a work that kills all sides during this year's Spring Festival."
Gold Group investment, 70 million capital plus the name Mizuno Liang. His breath almost jumped out.
Who is Ryo Mizuno? Others don't know, doesn't he know yet?
The writer of "The Battle of Rhode Island", the father of oriental magic, and the top best-selling author in Japan, he came to write the script, and the plot was absolutely guaranteed.
And the investment of 70 million is enough to cope with the big scene. Coupled with director Chen Jiashang, he couldn't think of a reason why this movie was not popular.
"Maybe this film can break out of China and enter the Japanese market."
He muttered. This is definitely not unreal.
The reason is very simple, the name Ryo Mizuno is enough to make the movie "Painted Skin" unimpeded in Japan, and he can even guess that the Gold Medal Group invited Ryo Mizuno. The target is the Japanese market.
Otherwise. There was no need for them to ask Ryo Mizuno, the father of oriental magic, to write the script.
"Breaking into the Japanese market?" Zhao Wenzhuo's agent immediately breathed heavily, among the stars, that is, Cheng Long and Jet Li were calling for wind and rain abroad, and almost all the other stars were cowering in Huaxia.
Is it that they don't want to go out? Of course not, it's just that after the kung fu craze subsides, foreign countries don't buy kung fu movies so much, so they can't go out.
If this film can break into the Japanese market, even if the salary is a little less. He all supported Zhao Wenzhuo to act.
"Ryo Mizuno, Japan's top best-selling author. The father of oriental magic, his book fans, can be found all over Japan. Zhao Wenzhuo said, "And the investor is the Gold Medal Group." ”
If there are film and television companies in Huaxia that can open the Japanese market, then Orange Sky Entertainment is one, and Gold Group is one.
The reason why Orange Sky Entertainment can open the Japanese market is entirely because Orange Sky Entertainment has Japanese capital in it, and Ibex Group is originally a giant in the Japanese entertainment industry, although they have not been involved in movies, but it is still possible to help a foreign film company enter the Japanese market.
It's a pity that Orange Sky Entertainment is now crumbling and dying before leaving the school.
As for the Gold Group, it is relying on the channel opened by "World of Warcraft", don't look at "World of Warcraft" is a Universal Movie distribution, but in Asia, the Gold Group has contributed a lot, they have successfully knocked on the door of Japan and South Korea with the movie "World of Warcraft", and the new work "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" Once successful, it can gain a firm foothold almost instantly.
And will Diablo 1: Original Sin War be unsuccessful? I'm afraid not.
At this time, I am afraid that I am preparing "Painted Skin" to pursue while I am victorious.
"This role must be won." Zhao Wenzhuo's agent immediately said excitedly: "I'll immediately inquire about who is competing with you." ”
"Circle a few stars who are at the same level or one level weaker than me, and I have a hunch that my opponent will be one of them."
……
"Painted Skin"? Male number two?
The real bullet glanced at the notice and threw it out, "Pushed." ”
"Bullets, this is the investment of the gold medal group, and looking at the appearance of the other party, they want to enter the Japanese and Korean markets, and they invited the Japanese best-selling author and the father of oriental magic, Mizuno Ryo, to be the screenwriter." The agent of the real bullet persuaded him, "This will be of great help to you to enter the Japanese market." ”
In an instant, the real bullet stood up, "Sue them, I'm next, when will I act?" ”
"This ...... Auditions are also required. The agent of the real bullet said cautiously, she already had a premonition that the real bullet was about to fire.
Sure enough, when I heard the audition, the real bullet roared instantly.
"What? Audition, what did they take me for? Actually let me audition! ”
Who is he? Real bullet, the hottest star after Jet Li and Cheng Long, even Sammo Hung doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of him, but such a red star, it's just a matter of playing the second male lead, and he actually let him audition, where is this putting his face?
"Who is the lead actor? Who is the director, I really want to tell them what is called acting and what is called playing. "The real bullet roared angrily.
"The starring role is uncertain, but the director is Chen Jiashang, a veteran director." The agent of the real bullet hurriedly said, she knows the temper of the real bullet very well, if there is no card in the crew that can suppress him, I am afraid that he will turn over and sing in a few minutes.
And this pressure must have both qualifications and appeal.
In the entire entertainment industry, there are only a few veteran actors who can suppress him, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and so on.
And like Sammo Hung, who was once more popular than Cheng Long at the same time as Cheng Long, couldn't suppress him, and like other popular actors who are now declining, they are not taken seriously by him, such as Shi Xiaolong.
His pride comes from his status and popularity.
And it is also his pride that has made many enemies for him.
No one likes drama bully, whether it's an actor or a director.
"Chen Jiashang?" The fire of the real bullet came and went as fast as it came, "It's him." ”
Chen Jiashang, who has debuted in 88 years, has won the Best Director at the Academy Awards, and the director's box office and reputation are good, and he is one of the veteran directors.
Although he may not be as famous and status as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and other big directors, he is definitely a top director under a big director.
The drama he directed, if you want to be a drama bully, I'm afraid it's a little difficult.
"Yes." The agent of the real bullet took the opportunity to say: "I personally think that this drama is of great help to your acting career and fame, you can try to take it, after all, with your acting skills, even if it is an audition, there is no reason why you can't pass it." ”
Real Bullet's face softened a little, "When is the audition?" ”
"Three days later, I've booked my ticket and I'll be flying right away."
……
The small hotel is arranged as a small audition venue, and there are many people who know about this audition, but if anyone knows, either they have been notified, or they have known through various channels and come to recommend themselves.
Li Lin, Zhao Wei, Chen Jiashang, and Zhou Xun are all here, they have already been set up for roles, and they came here to see the people who were about to play or play against them, as for those who didn't come, they all went to Zhang Yimou.
Yes, this time, the Gold Medal Group started filming two dramas at the same time, "Red Cliff" and "Painted Skin", and its goal is also the Spring Festival file.
"Red Cliff" was filmed by John Woo in Li Lin's previous life, but in this time and space, Li Lin directly drew up Zhang Yimou, in his eyes, John Woo and Zhang Yimou are both great directors, each with their own strengths.
John Woo is good at violent aesthetics, Zhang Yimou is good at pictures, both have their own merits, but for Chibi's work, whether it is John Woo or Zhang Yimou, they can be controlled.
However, Li Lin also knows where Zhang Yimou's weaknesses are, he is good at pictures, he is a mess in terms of scripts, "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides", and "The City Full of Golden Armor" exposed his shortcomings in screenwriting to the fullest, so he invited the original screenwriter of "Red Cliff" Chen Khan to write the screenplay, and the screenwriter of "Schindler's List" Steven. Zarin Support.
""Red Cliff" opened the Spring Festival file, and "Painted Skin" swept the end." Li Lin smiled faintly, "This year's summer vacation and Spring Festival files are the world of the gold medal group. ”
According to reason, staggering "Painted Skin" and "Red Cliff" is the king, although there are few large markets in the off-season, there are also few blockbusters, and blockbusters can be taken advantage of.
But Li Lin didn't care.
His goal is not the box office, but to show his status in the Chinese film industry, he wants to tell fans and film and television companies that it, the gold medal group, is the overlord of the film and television industry.
What better way to prove your strength than to occupy two prime slots?
It can be said that he sacrificed the box office in exchange for fame.
If anyone wants to use his masterpiece to fight against, he doesn't mind stepping on the opponent's corpse fiercely.
The gold medal group, which has eaten the new picture, will make full efforts.
"What about Zhao Wenzhuo and the real bullet?" Li Lin glanced at his watch and beckoned to Luo Feng, "Go outside and take a look, see if Zhao Wenzhuo and the real bullet are coming?" The time is almost up. ”
If you don't come again, it's time to pass.
Time has passed during the audition, whose big name is this playing?
If the other party really wants to play a big name, he doesn't mind brushing the two stars together, these days, there are more stars who want to be on the top. (To be continued......)
