Chapter 286: The Actor Problem

[PS: Everyone's opinions have been seen, it is indeed some wishful thinking on my part to talk about Journey to the West, and the follow-up will be changed, thank you for your opinions]

After getting rid of Xing Ye, Jia Yapeng didn't go to deal with the others, just leave the specific things to the staff of Daqian Entertainment, anyway, according to the list above, except for Xing Ye and Zhu Yin, even if the other characters are replaced, it will not have much impact.

Originally, Mr. Jia agreed to Yang Ziqiong and planned to give her the role of Bai Jingjing, but Yang Ziqiong gave up after reading the script, probably because she felt that such a movie was really not suitable for her character and temperament.

Or, Yang Ziqiong actually wanted to play Zixia Fairy, because Yang Ziqiong specially asked if the actor of Zixia Fairy had been decided, Jia Yapeng said that Zhu Yin had agreed, Yang Ziqiong didn't say anything more, and quickly refused.

This is not surprising, Yang Ziqiong's status now, unless it is a very favorite movie, or an international big-name movie, will not deign to play a supporting role.

The rest of the actors all agreed, after all, there are basically no big-name actors among the other actors except Wu Mengda.

Others, such as Karen Mok and Lan Jieying, were just two small transparent characters at this time, and when they heard a movie take the initiative to invite them, they were all beautiful, and they would not refuse at all.

Finally, there is the issue of salary, among which Zhou Xingxing's salary is the first, with a price of up to 8 million Hong Kong dollars, followed by Wu Mengda, who also needs 3 million Hong Kong dollars. The other actors are very cheap, the most expensive is the heroine Zhu Yin, 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the others are basically hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

However, it is still relatively expensive together, and in the end, the actor investment alone smashed 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and then the set and the like will be carried out in advance, according to the estimation of the professionals hired by Daqian Entertainment, the total investment may be between 60 million and 80 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, because at this time, Daqian Entertainment was still only a grass stage team, and various professionals were indebted, so the tentative filming date of the movie started in August 93.

Prior to this, Daqian Entertainment was responsible for recruiting all kinds of staff and building the shelves of the entire company.

It is undoubtedly very difficult for a brand-new entertainment company to directly take over the production of a movie with an investment of more than 60 million.

Fortunately, at this time, Director Chen and Mr. Jia have a good relationship, under the introduction of Director Chen, many professionals have joined Daqian, even if they are unwilling to join Daqian, they have also established a cooperative relationship with Daqian, as long as the money is in place, these people can temporarily join the crew.

However, I have just finished the related things of "Journey to the West", and the work of "Ultraman Tiga" has also followed.

In fact, from the time Jia Yapeng left Fusang, Ultraman Tiga had already entered an intense preparatory process.

Before leaving, Mr. Jia deliberately left a script outline for Tsuburaya, although Mr. Jia can also clearly remember the plot of the 52 episodes of Ultraman Tiga, but if you want Mr. Jia to write down the entire script, it will be difficult for Mr. Jia.

So Mr. Jia only wrote a script outline, and what kind of plot was to be filmed in each episode, and the rest was left to Tsuburaya's professional editors.

After three months of various cross-border telephone conversations, the script was changed three times and finally settled.

Then the crucial casting began.

Whether it is for a TV series or a movie, the choice of characters is crucial, even if the screenwriter's script is superb, you will have no choice when you meet an actor like Big Baby.

And the reason why "Ultraman Tiga" can be broadcast for more than 20 years is still deeply engraved in the hearts of many people, and it has a lot to do with the human body, that is, the actors of Dagu.

So when communicating about the choice of roles, the first actor to be determined is the actor of the TV series, and Hiroshi Nagano plays the role.

At this time, Hiroshi Nagano was just a small transparent actor of Fusang Genesis Agency, although he had his own group V6, but his popularity in Fuso was never high.

So when he heard that the Ultraman series, which was a childhood memory, actually started filming again, and invited him to be the male protagonist of the TV series, the human body of the new Ultraman, Hiroshi Nagano agreed without hesitation, even if the filmmaker made it clear that he needed to go to Huaxia to shoot a part of the subdivision, he did not refuse.

In the choice of the heroine, Mr. Jia encountered a lot of trouble.

Originally, Mr. Jia didn't plan to change the choice of the heroine, but still chose Mika Guida to play the role of Lina in the TV series, that is, Dagu's lover, after all, Mr. Jia didn't want to break up the fairy couple in his childhood memories.

But this request was rejected by Mika Kitamoto.

What people didn't expect was that the reason why she refused was because of the credit of the original Ultraman.

Mika Guitamoto actually has a great relationship with Ultraman, because his father, Shin Kurobe, is the actor who played the first Ultraman in the world, Susumu Hayata.

It was the world's first Ultraman human body.

Therefore, the relationship between Mika Guitamoto and Tsuburaya is extremely close.

So it stands to reason that Mika Guitamoto should not refuse this role, in fact, in the other world, she didn't refuse at all, and agreed in one breath.

But in this world, Mika Guitamoto has a good relationship with the Tsuburaya company, but has a better relationship with the Tsuburaya family.

When she heard that the Tsuburaya family was actually forced to sell the company to a Chinese man at a very low price, Mika Kitamoto did not have any good feelings for the Tsuburaya company.

In addition, she is in law school at this time, and her dream is to become a lawyer, and she is not keen on the path of acting, so Mika Guidomoto directly rejected the invitation of the heroine.

Now Mr. Jia was a little difficult, and later Tsuburaya sent a lot of photos of young actresses, but Mr. Jia didn't feel much after watching it, and he couldn't find the taste of Lina in his childhood.

What can I do?

But fortunately, our Mr. Jia is witty, since Fusang can't find a suitable actress, then simply don't look for it in Fusang, just find an actress in Huaxia.

Anyway, according to Mr. Jia's magic reform, the background of "Ultraman Tiga" has also changed from a single Fusang background to the background of the joint operation of Huaxia and Fusang, and it happens that the hero and heroine are a Fusang man and a Chinese person, which can be regarded as fair.

However, Mr. Jia has made corresponding changes to Dagu's life experience, as well as the background of the world, in the original plot, Dagu is undoubtedly a native of Fusang, but in the new plot, Dagu is a hybrid of Huaxia and Fusang, his father is Chinese, and his mother is Fusang, because his parents divorced, and he grew up in Fusang since he was a child.

But then I found out that I had the talent to become a member of the victory team, and then I was transferred to the TPC Pacific Headquarters and became a member of the headquarters, and the Pacific Headquarters is located in a sea between Huaxia and Fuso, which is convenient for supporting the two countries at any time, so there are members of various countries in the Pacific Headquarters, including but not limited to Huaxia, Fuso, South Korea, North Korea, Southeast Asia, etc.

[PS: Here, I don't want to see some complaints about why the actor doesn't choose the Chinese, because this is a childhood memory, so try to choose the same characters as the same year. Especially the human body of the Dagu team, it is better not to change it, it has nothing to do with the country, so don't spray. 】
