"Menjie, I was able to spend 10 million to invite you to star in a movie, it is definitely the most suitable business since I made movies in my life!"

Just after Men Jie fully showed his strong strength, his A+-level acting skills, and the fourth top temperament among all the movie stars in China at present, and all the strength after integrating the high-end temperament in front of the director Li Case, Li Case often said such a sentence to Men Jie.

Indeed it is!

If you combine all of Menjie's acting skills, popularity, temperament and ability, and after adding Menjie's own temperament and is very in line with Mr. Yi, the actor in the movie "Lust and Caution", director Li Case gave a very clear evaluation of Menjie.

Menjie's comprehensive quality is definitely worth 25 million soft girl coins for the movie "Lust and Caution"!

The salary of 25 million corresponds to the top actors with S-level acting skills and popularity in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Of course, not counting actors like Liang Chaowei and Li Lianjie, who are infinitely close to the peak actors.

At such a level, as long as the movie "Lust and Caution" is officially released, so that everyone can see the strength of Menjie, it will be the time when Menjie's value skyrockets.

However, before the release of the movie "Lust and Caution", people did not know the true strength of Lu Dao Menjie, so no matter what movie he filmed, Menjie could get more than 10 million yuan at most, which was definitely a loss-making business.

But it doesn't matter, in fact, before the movie "Lust and Caution" was released, Menjie had no intention of taking over the drama at all.

Menjie's idea to participate in his own company's movie "Casting a Name", after all, is his own company's work, and all the money he makes is his own, so there is no problem of giving more and less salary.

Even after a little thought. Menjie directly gave himself a salary of 16 million soft girl coins.

Before, when Menjie participated in the movie "Lust and Caution" with A-level acting skills, it was already a salary of about 10 million, and after that, even if you don't count many factors such as Menjie's acting breakthrough and temperament breakthrough, just talking about the horror of Menjie's popularity that people know very well, give 16 million soft girl coins, which is equivalent to the price of an ordinary top actor with S-level acting skills.

This price is the same as the salary given to Liu Dehua in the movie "Vote for Fame", if it is higher than this price, Liu Dehua's face is not good-looking, so Menjie decided so.

Just as Menjie was thinking, the phone rang suddenly. After glancing at the caller, Menjie hurriedly showed a rather surprised look, "Hey? Director Chen? I'm Menjie! ”

The person who called was Chen Kexin, another top director in China, who had directed many films such as "A Tale of Two Cities", "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust", "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2", "Sweet Honey" and so on. supervised the production of many movies by a great director.

Previously, after Menjie notified the cast and crew of Wan Tongtong's movie "Casting a Name", Wan Tongtong began to prepare.

After all, it was the first film produced by a celebrity film and television company. It is a crucial step into the film industry. Wan Tongtong naturally attaches great importance to it.

Sure enough, not long after, Chen Kexin called Menjie.

"Hello, I'm Chen Kexin! I received a script called "Casting Names" from Wan Tongtong, the general manager of your company, and I feel very good about this script, and I would like to ask about the investment in this film, the actors, etc., and if I direct this movie. How much autonomy can you have! ”

This is also Chen Kexin's concern, although Men Jie is an insider and a rather not simple actor, but he is also a famous and wealthy man in China.

The first film made by such a young man's company. Maybe he will really feel good about himself and point fingers during filming, if this is the case, Chen Kexin will obviously never agree to direct the movie "Vote for Fame".

"Director Chen, you are the top director in China, since I want to find you to direct the movie "Casting a Name", I will definitely not point fingers too much!"

After thinking for a while, Menjie said directly and very simply, "My idea is this, if you come to direct this movie, you have absolute power in the initial casting, of course, and the company only has the right to suggest, and does not directly order your rights, and in the whole process of film shooting, the company will never point fingers, you are definitely a character in the crew!" ”

"As for film investment...... It's also up to you to decide, with a ceiling of 200 million soft sister coins, as long as you feel that you can recover the cost and make a small profit, there is absolutely no problem on our side! ”

Although Menjie already had a general idea in his heart, in order to successfully invite Chen Kexin to direct the movie "Vote for Fame", Menjie still directly gave all the power.

In Menjie's mind, even if the company doesn't have any power on the surface, it should be no problem to change the actor from Li Lianjie to Menjie himself, after all, he is also the chairman of the company, and his own level is quite extraordinary!

"Oh? It's all up to me? ”

After listening to Menjie's words, even Chen Kexin was a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he nodded directly and agreed, "If that's the case, I'm willing to join the movie "Vote for Fame"!" ”

"Ha Luha, Director Chen, then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

After a little politeness, Chen Kexin hesitated slightly, and then said directly to Menjie, "Menjie, I want to ask, what do you think about the casting of this movie?" ”

Here it comes!

With a move in his heart, Men Jie's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Director Chen, I haven't thought about this aspect well, you also know that I have always been an ordinary young actor, and the casting work has really never been done, I don't know ......what Director Chen's idea is."

This little guy!

Listening to Menjie's words, Chen Kexin was suddenly helpless.

Although it is true that Men Jie has not participated in the casting of the movie, anyone in the entire Chinese entertainment circle knows that all the castings of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", "The Rumored Seven Princesses", "Nineteen-year-old Innocence" and the TV series "Struggle" that has not yet been officially broadcast are all finalized by Men Jie.

Even those directors who are not very famous only have the right to decide on some small roles that Men Jie is too lazy to pay attention to, although it is only a position of producer. But Menjie is definitely the most important character for the entire crew!

And what is surprising is that the choice of these roles is also quite suitable, and even many of the actors are currently very popular, which also makes many people in the entertainment industry very convinced of Menjie's vision, and feels that as long as they are selected by Menjie, they have the possibility of prosperity.

Such a person with accurate vision actually said that he didn't know how to cast? It's crazy!

Chen Kexin also knew that Menjie wanted to hear his views on the characters in the film first.

"Actually, I just got the script, and I don't know much about the other characters, but I don't know the three leading actors in the movie. And a heroine who also has some ideas! ”

"The heroine of the movie "Casting a Name" is not very brilliant in itself, and there is no need to invite some big-name actors, but the three male protagonists must have strong strength, and if the heroine is just a vase, it will not work, which will affect the feeling of the whole film. I think Xu Jinglei is a very good choice! ”

Xu Jinglei?!

Sure enough, it is the heroine in the original movie "Casting a Name"!

After listening to Chen Kexin's words. Menjie didn't even hesitate. "Ha Luha, Director Chen really thought of it with me, the heroine I thought of before was Xu Jinglei, okay, since we both think she is very suitable, it is Xu Jinglei!"

Yes?

Listened to Menjie's words. But it made Chen Kexin a little surprised.

You don't even need an audition, so you just finalize the role? Sure enough, as rumored, only a few of the four TV series created by celebrity film and television companies were selected through auditions. The main role is still finalized through Menjie himself!

But this is the ......

It's really efficient!

"Since both of us think Xu Jinglei is very suitable, that's her, and there is no need to audition!"

Nodding slightly, Chen Kexin also agreed, "As for the remaining three leading actors, they are obviously the core of the whole movie, they all need good acting skills, and it is best to be an actor with great personal charm, as for the No. 1 actor, I think it is best to choose a good actor who plays a role!" ”

"I have pondered this aspect before, and I think it is more appropriate for the No. 3 actor to choose Jin Chengwu and the No. 2 actor to choose Liu Dehua, as for the ......"

"Director Chen!"

The man on the other end of the phone couldn't help but chuckle, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Jin Chengwu, right?" ”

Menjie's simple words instantly solidified the atmosphere between the two.

In Chen Kexin's mind, Menjie was saying that he wanted to use his power for personal gain, and invited Jin Chengwu to come over to act.

Indeed, there may be some personal reasons for this, but as a top director in China, he still has quite professional ethics, and to a greater extent, Chen Kexin feels that Jin Chengwu is very suitable to play the third leading role in the movie.

was said by Menjie, but Chen Kexin couldn't help but be a little annoyed, what is the situation? Don't believe in yourself? Why did you give yourself so much autonomy before that!

Just wanted to question Menjie, but in the next second, Menjie's voice came out again, "Then the work of inviting Jin Chengwu and Liu Dehua will trouble Director Chen, haluha!" I also thought that the two of them were very suitable for the roles in the movie, and I was worried that I would be too thin to invite the two of them! ”

Uh, what's going on?!

Chen Kexin, who just wanted to get angry, was stunned again in an instant, realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood, Menjie did not distrust himself, but had also decided that these two actors would play the second and third leading roles in the movie "Casting Names"!

This speed is inevitably too fast, right?

"As for the salaries of the two of them......"

"You don't have to worry about this, since you have entrusted me with the work of inviting the two of them, I will definitely be able to satisfy you, haluha, I also want to save some of my salary and devote myself to film production to create an excellent work!"

Ha Lu smiled, but Chen Kexin said directly to Menjie.

Just now Menjie was so decisive. He only said three names, and he was finalized by Menjie with a thunderous momentum, and Chen Kexin also planned to come forward to invite a few of them by himself.

With Chen Kexin's face, I'm afraid that a few people starring in the movie "Casting a Name" won't cost Menjie too much money, right? !

"As for the choice of the number one actor...... The first choice in my heart is Li Lianjie! ”

After that, Chen Kexin hesitated slightly, and then said directly, and the door jie on the other end of the phone couldn't help but be a little silent for a while. Only then did he say softly.

"Director Chen, the previous roles are very suitable for this movie, I just finalized it directly, indeed, it is very suitable for the No. 1 actor to be played by Li Lianjie. But...... In terms of budget, has Director Chen thought about it? ”

Listened to Menjie's words. Chen Kexin on the other end of the phone was also a little silent.

Chen Kexin is also very clear in her heart. If you want to invite Li Lianjie to star in the movie "Vote for Fame", you have to pay at least 100 million soft girl coins, which instantly doubles the budget of the movie "Vote for Fame", and the difficulty of making money is definitely increased by several levels.

Even if it is a movie hit, it may not be able to recover the cost!

But except for Li Lianjie. At present, there are many action stars in Huaxia, and there seems to be no particularly suitable candidate!

You must know that the No. 1 actor in the movie is very exciting in addition to playing. At the same time, in other aspects, it must also be a big man who can be comparable to Liu Dehua and Jin Chengwu!

The action stars in the whole of China who are suitable for the movie "Casting Names", in addition to Li Lianjie, there is also Zhen Zidan who is the same age as him is very suitable, but at present, Zhen Zidan participated in the movie "Fuse" not long ago, and if you want to invite him, you will have to wait at least a few months, and then I am afraid that if the movie "Casting Names" wants to be released, it will be at least 2008.

This is absolutely not a no!

"Director Chen, what do you think of me?"

After a moment of silence, Menjie said directly, "After all, it's my own company movie, so I won't be humble with you, in terms of acting skills, I am definitely at a relatively high-end level among the actors, and in terms of temperament, I definitely do quite well, and for playing a fighter...... You should have seen the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", right? ”

Syllable!

slapped his forehead violently, and Chen Kexin's eyes on the other end of the phone suddenly lit up.

Indeed, the male protagonist in the movie "Casting a Name" is a general, and he must have both the majesty of a general and the courage of a warrior.

It is indeed a little difficult to choose between two different temperaments, but obviously, Menjie is the most suitable in this regard!

Menjie's level of 'majestic temperament' can be felt from the movies "Kung Fu" and "Night Banquet", and he is definitely doing a very good job.

And the 'iron-blooded temperament' when playing a warrior is needless to say, almost everyone in the world has seen Menjie's side, and the actor who says that he wants to play a warrior is indeed Menjie!

And it seems that Menjie also knows a little kung fu!

And because of the popularity of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", although Menjie is weaker than Liu Dehua, but because Menjie has been too popular recently, when he participated in the movie "Casting Names", Menjie was really not inferior to Liu Dehua.

With the current popularity, Menjie is definitely a top star!

In an instant, Chen Kexin, who had figured everything out, wanted to nod directly and agree.

"Director Chen, otherwise this is the case!"

Seeing that Chen Kexin just wanted to say something, Menjie hurriedly said, "Why don't you invite me and Li Lian Lian to audition for the No. 1 actor in the movie "Casting a Name" respectively, if his level is really far beyond me, then even if it costs 100 million soft girl coins for him, I admit it, and it is very good to compare it a little, what do you think?" ”

This......

After listening to Menjie's words, Chen Kexin hesitated slightly, and then agreed directly.

As Menjie said, if Menjie and Li Lianjie are very suitable for the movie "Vote for Fame", then give this role to Menjie, after all, there is a huge gap between Menjie and Li Lianjie's salaries, and Li Lianjie will understand it very well.

However, if Menjie is really too different from Li Lianjie, then I'm sorry, even if Menjie is the producer of the movie "Casting Fame", even if it costs hundreds of millions of soft sister coins to invite Li Lianjie, in order for the movie to be better, he can only be chosen!

No matter what, it is good for the movie, Chen Kexin naturally has no reason to refuse, and directly agreed.

And the doorman on the side also snickered in his heart.

Although there is a slight gap between the acting skills of the two, Menjie has such a killer feature that only the members of the movie "Lust and Caution" know about 'top temperament ability'.

And at the same time, there is a real killer feature hidden in Menjie's body that everyone doesn't know!

Menjie believes that with these two killer features, let alone being able to reach the level of 'barely comparable to Li Lianjie' at that time, and finally defeat Li Lianjie with a price advantage.

Even if it is a head-on collision, Menjie will never fall into the disadvantage, and even when Menjie thinks about it, in the end, Menjie is comparable to Li Lianjie with his strong strength, and in the end, even if Chen Kexin directly chooses Menjie, Li Lianjie's heart will be quite understanding, and he will not have the slightest opinion on Menjie.

In this way, on the one hand, Menjie can get the role of the leading actor in the movie "Casting Names", and at the same time, he can also defeat Li Lianjie head-on and obtain a large amount of acting proficiency handed over to him by the Tianwang system, which is definitely a big profit!

"In that case, Xu Jinglei, Jin Chengwu and Liu Dehua will hand it over to me to invite, the problem of the No. 1 actor, I will contact Li Lian Lian and strive to audition in the next two days, Menjie, you are also ready!"

In the end, after Chen Kexin left a sentence, he hung up the phone directly and began to prepare for the movie "Casting a Name". (To be continued......)
