PS: Eh, cheeky wants a disciple fan!

"I think the role of Fang Yiwei, Yu Wenle is fully competent, his acting skills are no problem, although he is not very handsome, but he is very masculine, which is quite in line with the portrayal and description of Fang Yiwei in the script!"

In the conference room of the Hong Kong Huanyu Film Company, several main creative staff are expressing their opinions, sitting at the top is Lin Xiaoming, the boss of Huanyu, and next to him is Chen Musheng, the producer and director of the film "The True Colors of Men" that Huanyu is preparing to invest in and shoot this time.

Speaking of Chen Musheng, he may not be as famous and well-known as Xu Ke, Du Qifeng, and Wang Jingren, but when it comes to other works, many people must know about them, such as Fang Chenglong's "New Police Story" and "Baby Jihua" are all directed by Chen Musheng.

And now, he once again gave a script that looks good and should have a head, that is, "The True Colors of Men".

Today, the senior management of Universal Film, one of the film's main investment companies, decided to listen to his role as a director, and at the same time it can be regarded as filling in the gaps.

After all, the movie is really hard to grasp, it is a work of art that does not tolerate the slightest flaw.

No matter how perfect your script is, no matter how good the director is, and no matter how good the production team is, if the actors are not suitable, or the acting skills are not good, the excitement of the movie will definitely be greatly reduced.

In this way, in order to find the most suitable actor for the needs of the film, the three roles of investor, director and producer, who are in charge of the lifeblood of the whole film, must be cautious, because once the actor is selected, it is generally not replaced, unless there is a major accident. For example, the actor was injured. The crew couldn't wait for him to recover. Had to change the actors.

So, how do you explain the right actor?

To put it simply, it is a sentence: the salary should not be expensive, the influence should not be small, the acting skills should be good, the temper should not be irritable, and people should know the advance and retreat.

Summary in four words: cost-effective!

That's right, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't like such an actor, and the asking price is not high. It can reduce the budget, which also reduces the investment risk, and if it is influential, it means that it has box office appeal and can increase income.

And the acting skills are good, of course, this is the favorite of all directors, playing a man is a man, playing a woman is a woman, as long as the movie needs it, playing a shemale can also be a generation of enchanting. Which director doesn't love such an actor?

Zuihou's temper should be good, and he is known to advance and retreat. That's for the overall harmony and combat effectiveness of the crew, grumpy people will make the crew restless, and everyone will be affected, just ask, in this case, who can still calm down to film?

If you don't know how to advance or retreat, you will simply offend the entire crew, and everyone is at odds with each other, can you still make a good movie in this way? It's better to just terminate the contract and drive people out.

Of course, although it is easy to open the conditions, but there are really few in the entire entertainment industry that can fully meet these rules, either they are the ones who want to be high in terms of virtue and art, or those who want to be lowered but have no acting skills and box office appeal, and those who can really meet these rules, I am afraid that they can be counted with two hands if you count them carefully.

Two hands, a total of ten, that doesn't seem like a lot, doesn't it?

However, if you put aside external things such as acting skills, if you talk about personal temperament and image, at least half of these 10 people will have to be removed.

For example, if you want to find a handsome and handsome actor to play the leading role, I will give you three candidates, Du Wenzhe, Wu Yanzu and Gu Tianle, how will you choose?

There's absolutely no way you're going to find Du Wenzhe, right? His acting skills are there, he has box office appeal, he is not bad at life and work, and the asking price is not as high as the latter two, but his image does not match it at all!

As a result, the director could only choose one of Gu Tianle or Wu Yanzu.

It can be seen from this that the producer and director are actually very difficult when choosing actors, not only to examine the acting skills of the actors, but also to consider other aspects, such as for the Oriental market, maybe they will consider inviting well-known Oriental actors to join.

Anyway, for the producer, if the casting is perfect, a movie is basically half the battle.

And now, the person who named Yu Wenle to play the main supporting role Fang Yiwei is the production manager of Huanyu Film Company, and he is also one of the most trusted right and left hands of the boss Lin Xiaoming.

Lin Xiaoming smiled faintly and didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Musheng, who had been smiling on his left hand, with a little hair, gray hair and glasses, "What do you think of Director Chen?" Do you think Yu Wenle is the right fit? ”

Chen Musheng pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Just in terms of image, temperament and acting skills, Yu Wenle is indeed very suitable. ”

"Huh?"

Lin Xiaoming suddenly looked at Chen Musheng and said, "Director Chen, you seem to have something to say?" Could it be that there is something inappropriate about Yu Wenle? ”

"Hmmm! It wasn't available a week ago, but now it is! Chen Musheng said very bluntly.

Lin Xiaoming immediately paid attention to it, he put down Erlang's legs, and leaned forward slightly, "Director Chen, do you value other actors?" It's okay, just say, as long as it's appropriate, I don't have an opinion, it's all for the work! ”

This sentence is also a big truth, for the boss of the film company, as long as the cost is not increased, the effect of the movie is, of course, higher and higher, which means word of mouth, that is, money!

"Hehe, then I'll just say it!"

Chen Musheng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, habitually waved his arm and said: "You know, our "The True Colors of Men" focuses on real fights to the flesh, as well as extremely hot explosion scenes, so according to Jihua, we specially invited Wu Jing, a new generation of real kung fu boy in the mainland, to play the role of the villain Tian Yangyi, and then found Xie Tingfeng, who has good acting skills and strong box office appeal, and now has begun to learn kung fu from his teacher, as the starring role, which was originally ......"

"That's right, Director Chen, do you want to say that Yu Wenle doesn't have real kung fu?"

Before Lin Xiaoming could speak, the production manager sitting on the side couldn't help but interrupt Chen Musheng's long compilation.

"Yes!"

was interrupted by someone else, but Chen Musheng was not angry, but laughed. Explained: "Originally. The fact that he can't fight is not a major drawback. I can make him a master through post-editing, but I suddenly feel that the character of Fang Yiwei can actually dig a little deeper and shape him more powerfully, so that he will not be able to play without real kung fu. ”

"Well, this, Director Chen. The current script is already very good, it's OK if you don't change it! ”

Lin Xiaoming had to speak, because the script is not so easy to modify, sometimes just add an extra sentence of dialogue or even just add a shot, the layout of the entire movie has changed, as for whether it has become better or worse, it depends on the specific situation.

However, no matter what the changes are, in fact, the producers are not very willing to see it, because it means that the investment risk will have to be re-evaluated. It's a waste of time, yes?

"But if you change it. I think the plot will be fuller~ fuller, the plot will be better, and the fights will be more exciting. ”

Chen Musheng spread his hands and said his suggestion helplessly.

Although this movie is written and directed by him, it can be said that he has a lot of initiative, but the attitude and opinions of investors must also be considered! People invest tens of millions of dollars to come in, and that's not unattended.

Lin Xiaoming looked at his left and right hands, and the manager quickly came to his senses and asked tentatively, "Then who does Director Chen have a crush on?" Now he can still play in the circle, and the only one whose acting skills, age and temperament match is probably Wu Yanzu, but his value and schedule ......"

"It's not Azu, he's a newcomer to the continent!" Chen Musheng waved his hand and said.

"What? A newcomer to the mainland? ”

Lin Xiaoming was startled at first, and then leaned back on the wide and comfortable boss's chair, looked at Chen Musheng with his arms crossed, and said: "Director Chen, I'm a little curious, when did such a newcomer who is suitable for playing Fang Yiwei come out in the mainland?" ”

The production manager on the side also hurriedly added: "Yes, Director Chen, can you tell me in detail?" As long as this person is really suitable, we will definitely have no opinion. ”

Chen Musheng looked at Lin Xiaoming's nod of approval, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, in fact, I will choose this newcomer, mainly for two purposes!" ”

He paused, and saw that Boss Lin was nodding and listening attentively, so he said: "First, and most importantly, he has strong skills!" ”

Speaking of which, Chen Musheng didn't care about his identity as a big director, and said a little excitedly: "I saw his performance video by chance, and I was really shocked, both of them have seen long glasses, right?" An empty cup was placed on the edge of the table, and he just used his fist to blow the not-so-light glass off the table and smash it into a vermicelli ......"

"Is it really that powerful?"

Lin Xiaoming and the manager of the production department both changed their sitting postures, looking at Chen Musheng with blazing eyes, and a sense of curiosity arose.

"Can't my eyes see if it's 'processed'?"

Chen Musheng confidently pointed to his moves, nodded affirmatively: "I have cooperated with many kung fu stars in Hong Kong, and I have seen a lot of real kung fu heirs, but I dare to guarantee that their fists are definitely not as strong as the young man from the mainland, maybe Shijie boxing champion Tyson's Liliang is stronger than him, but the explosive speed is much worse, his other video, there is no microphone amplification, but the wind brought by the fist is absolutely clear and audible, just like the movie dubbing." ”

Hey, that's a joke, right? Is it really that fierce?

Lin Xiaoming and the manager glanced at each other in surprise, but it seems that Director Chen really admires this young man! His expression didn't look like he was joking.

So, is what he said true?

So, Lin Xiaoming immediately nodded and said, "OK, we believe in Director Chen's vision, so does this young man have any advantages?" How many film and television dramas have you filmed? How to ...... popularity"

As soon as he said this, he himself laughed: "Hehe, you see I'm confused, I know that I am a newcomer, but I actually ask him about his popularity, it's really funny!" ”

Chen Musheng was also laughing, but he smiled proudly, "Mr. Lin, can you use your computer?" I want to show you something!" (To be continued......)
