PS: xiexie Dongguan scholar's tip!

Andy Lau came quickly, which shows that he attaches great importance to this cooperation. For this reason, he also pushed off today's shooting.

In other words, there is no policymaker who does not attach importance to international cooperation.

Because it means that you have a certain way to open up a wider international market.

is still in that clubhouse, plus Andy Lau, Cui Zhengyuan also brought Huang Bo, so the participants are four people.

In fact, Andy Lau arrived early this morning, and the reason why he chose to meet at this time was because he wanted to listen to Ning Hao's opinion.

Although he is an investor, if the director is unwilling, he can't force it.

Even Cui Zhengyuan can't do it, personal relations belong to private relationships, and business cooperation belongs to business cooperation.

At their level, things are very separated.

As soon as they met, they saw that Ning Hao was very excited.

Before he could ask what was going on, the guy presented the thick script.

Since this is the case, Andy Lau simply didn't ask, and read the thick script all morning.

After so many years of filming, at least the ability to appreciate is still no problem.

Although "Crazy Stone" is a small person movie that fits the reality of Chinese society, this does not prevent Andy Lau from recognizing the preciousness of it.

Obviously, this is a very good script. If you shoot it according to the above concept, the effect will not be too bad.

As for whether it is popular or not, whether it will be popular, no one dares to say this.

Many times in the eyes of producers and producers, the film is uncan't be better. But once it was released, what was gained was a scolding from the audience.

This situation is by no means rare, and the bigger the director and the bigger the actor, the more this can happen.

For example, "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun".

Since the director himself has no problems, Andy Lau will naturally not be troublesome.

As soon as they met. After the greetings, he said directly: "Director Ning Hao said that the script is good, and he has decided to take over." What is the budget you are preparing? ”

The two are too familiar to be polite, so they go straight to the topic.

"It's not a lot, four million should be enough." Cui Zhengyuan also thought about it a long time ago, and said it as soon as he opened his mouth.

In the original history, the cost of "Crazy Stone" was actually only two million, but it turned out to create a box office of 20 million.

According to the proportion of returns, that's a tenfold return.

But a lot has changed in this life. So Cui Zhengyuan decided to invest more, so that Ning Hao could make the effect of the movie a little better.

Four million is not a lot, and it is still shared between the two parties, so Andy Lau just thought about it for a while and readily agreed.

But they said okay, Ning Hao was in a hurry. "I said two bosses, is the four million a little less, you must know that the actor's salary alone may not be enough."

Cui Zhengyuan smiled, but still relieved him and said, "Don't worry." This movie actually doesn't cost much. Many of them, I guess they will probably star with zero pay. ”

"Wouldn't it? There are still people who don't need money to work? Ning Hao felt that his gums hurt so much, as if he was dreaming.

"Why not?" Cui Zhengyuan glared and said with certainty: "For example, I'm not one." ”

Andy Lau and Ning Hao looked at each other. Zuihou or Andy Lau relied on the identity of an elder and asked: "Zhengyuan, I have also read the script." It's not a trendy action scene, nor is it a well-made blockbuster. Besides, this is a very rustic Chinese comedy, do you think you can act? ”

Let a Korean play the ordinary people of Yucheng, China. Don't say anything else, you can't speak Yucheng dialect alone.

Cui Zhengyuan smiled and said proudly: "Who said I was going to play those people." I'm going to play the role of Mike, an international thief. ”

When he watched a movie in his previous life, Cui Zhengyuan felt that the effect of the reversal of the role of the international thief Mike was too interesting.

Now that he had such an opportunity, he wanted to try it himself.

Although Lian Jin's role is very expressive, Cui Zhengyuan also thought about the addiction of saying "I will give you a lung".

Andy Lau was anxious, "I said why are you so unkind, it's better for me to play that role." ”

Well, this ageless idol also saw a good script, and he was a little itchy.

The role of other local citizens, he and Cui Zhengyuan can't play anyone, so they all aim at the international thief Mike.

And Andy Lau's reasons are even more sufficient. "I'm an authentic Xiangjiang person, and I speak Hong Kong-style Mandarin better than you."

"Alas, Brother Hua, you're busy on the side of "Ink Attack", so don't run at both ends anymore. Besides, you're getting older, so you have time to rest. Cui Zhengyuan didn't give him a chance to refute at all, and even took out the reason for his age.

"Stop, stop, I said two bosses, even if the role of Mike is not paid. And what about the others? I took a cursory look at it, and there are a lot of characters needed in this movie. Ning Hao hurriedly fought with the mud, he was afraid that the two would compete endlessly and delay the business.

Anyway, no matter who plays the role of Mike, for their name, this audience will definitely be attracted a lot.

"This black skin doesn't need to be paid, Huang Bo can play it." Cui Zhengyuan patted Huang Bo, who was sitting quietly next to him, and said.

Growing so big, Huang Bo was still able to stay honestly without saying a word for the first day.

There was no way, the three people in front of him put too much pressure on him.

Cui Zhengyuan don't say it, an international star, a rich man, or his boss.

Andy Lau can be regarded as his idol since he was a child, and now it's good to cry in front of him without excitement.

If it weren't for the fact that they were talking about business, Huang Bo would have thought about finding a pen and paper to ask Andy Lau to sign it.

Even if Ning Hao, whom he didn't know, heard that he was a director and had won international awards, he knew that he could not be compared to a person like himself who had only acted in tricks.

Originally, I was still wondering, since it was such an important occasion to discuss cooperation, Cui Zhengyuan Weishenme would deliberately bring himself over?

It was only at this point that he came to his senses a little from his ignorance.

It turned out that the boss brought himself here to act in a movie.

Looking at it like this, it's not an ordinary character, but one of the leading actors.

The male protagonist is such a thing. Huang Bo didn't dare to think about it.

He knows what kind of virtue and dignity he is, and he has no life as a male protagonist in this life.

If he could know that in the next few years, after playing countless leading roles, he wouldn't know what to think in his heart?

As a director, you all have a skill.

That is, after reading the script, you will form a certain anthropomorphic image outline of a character in your mind.

Hearing that Cui Zhengyuan designated the extremely ugly guy next to him to play the black skin, Ning Hao took a closer look.

Look at this carefully, hey, don't say it, the image is really suitable.

If the acting is okay. It's a great choice.

People are investors, and it is too normal and unspoken rule to appoint an actor.

I don't have an opinion if I don't see Andy Lau, so Ning Hao is also vigilant and a good person.

"Well, the image is very suitable, I have to say that Executive Cui is discerning."

For his clumsy sycophancy, Cui Zhengyuan smiled in his heart. "Sample, if you knew how prosperous Huang Bo would be in the next few years, you wouldn't be so calm."

Since Cui Zhengyuan booked two roles, Ning Hao simply began to ask for advice. "Then Executive Cui, who do you think is more suitable for this actor to play?"

This kind of unhandsome protagonist is actually chosen. It's countless times harder than a handsome one. But it is undeniable that such a character is more likely to be brilliant.

Generally speaking, directors who make movies don't like handsome male protagonists very much.

Because no matter how good the acting skills of such an actor are, he will always give people the suspicion of a vase.

And a handsome guy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world. It is also not in line with the principle that movies strive for authenticity.

You don't see it, and later Yuan Bin spent a lot of effort to impress the director in order to star in "Uncle".

South Korea's top actors are also Choi Min-sik, Xue Kyung-gu, Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun and the like. Far from being a handsome guy.

In the same way, China's Ge You, Jackie Chan, Liang Jiahui, Chen Daoming, etc., are not handsome.

Especially Aaron Kwok. After becoming an uncle, he immediately became an actor.

It can be seen that a handsome image may be able to become a popular star, but it is difficult to become a top actor.

At the very least, how many years has Andy Lau survived. His hair has turned gray and he has grown old, so he finally became a top actor.

There is no doubt at all who will play the leading role.

Cui Zhengyuan said bluntly: "Find Guo Tao, I guess a drama idiot like him will like it." ”

Guo Tao has been famous for many years and is an actor with very good acting skills.

Ning Hao naturally knew about him, so after thinking about it, he still felt that Cui Zhengyuan's recommendation was just right.

How to contact the actor is his director's business, so he nodded and said, "Yes, leave this matter to me." I'll contact him right away. ”

Guo Tao has been in the actor industry for a long time, but he has never been popular or purple, and he has always been close to the door. It is estimated that this movie can take him to a higher level and officially become a well-known actor.

Since Guo Tao is talked, Cui Zhengyuan simply said another actor who has been famous for a long time. "You can find Xu Zheng to play this Feng Dong of the Global Development Group, and you are guaranteed to be brilliant."

In the original history, Ning Hao originally wanted to find Xu Zheng's wife Xiao Taohong to play the role.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zheng liked the script very much, and took the initiative to ask for zero pay to play the role of Feng Dong.

I believe that this time is no exception, and the script will definitely be able to move him.

In fact, in "Crazy Stone", there are only three actors who are really famous, Guo Tao, Xu Zheng and Lian Jin.

Aside from them, the rest of the people are paid almost negligible.

There are even many roles that are cameos by the crew's staff, not to mention the salary.

Now that Lian Jin will not come, he, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo don't want to be paid.

Guo Tao estimated that it was about the same, so that there would be a big loss in expenditure.

It is completely enough to spend four million to make such a low-budget movie. (To be continued......)
