Two days later, Sun Peng took Wei Xiaolin to meet Ye Xing and Liao Chen.

The practitioners, who had been prepared for a long time, staged a wonderful show in front of Wei Xiaolin, including the routine demonstration, the "difficult" movements they had figured out in the past few months, and the chase scene flying around with a tightrope, which successfully made the senior director stunned, and his jaw almost dislocated.

Merely......

When the group of people performed the content of the script for Wei Xiaolin again, looking at the row of sturdy little boys in front of them, all Wei Xiaolin could do was to smile bitterly.

"Alright, let's go practice first!"

Sun Peng also saw the reluctance under the smile on Wei Xiaolin's face, and quickly clapped his hands to let a few young men disperse, then turned his head and said in a low voice: "Teacher Wei, how are these guys?" The bones of the body are all top sticks, and the kung fu is really amazing! ”

Sun Peng is undoubtedly most satisfied with Ye Xing.

That guy is the most handsome among several people, and as a "performer", the movements he makes are also the most handsome, especially when the classic Huang Feihong style is posed, at least Brother Li has fifty percent of his skills!

But......

"Teacher Sun, their acting skills are not good!"

With a wrinkled face, Wei Xiaolin then smiled bitterly: "I can see that they should have gone through a short period of acting training, but if they want to star in a movie...... It's so far off! This kind of acting is impossible even to play the leading role on the small screen, let alone the big screen, which is really demanding from actors! ”

"This ......"

Hearing Wei Xiaolin say this, Sun Peng suddenly had a headache.

Do the characters in "New Dragon Gate Inn" want acting skills?

Nonsense, of course!

Don't be fooled by the dazzling action sequences inside, in fact, every character in it is not so simple. Let's not talk about a few protagonists, which of the four major stalls of the East Factory is simple? For example, Liu Xun, the actor of the eldest Jia Ting, went to the China Peking Opera Company to teach at the age of nineteen, and a role that did not have too many scenes was completely brought to life by him, and for example, Maggie Cheung played Jin Jiyu......

"Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't plan to let Lin Lin play Jin Jiyu!"

When he thought of this, Sun Peng secretly wiped a cold sweat for himself.

In Sun Peng's memory, what impressed him the most about "New Dragon Gate Inn" was undoubtedly the gold inlaid jade, especially the part where she and the heroine tore each other's clothes is undoubtedly one of the wonderful scenes. Looking back and thinking about Maggie Cheung's performance in the film, is it really something that a young girl like Lin Lin can do?

"Mr. Wei, what do you say?"

After having a headache for a while, Sun Peng simply pushed the problem to Wei Xiaolin.

"Newcomers have to use it, but there must be no shortage of good actors!"

After pondering for a while, Wei Xiaolin said calmly: "I know that this film you want to make a martial arts film in your heart, but it is a real movie after all, not a short film on the Internet, so the performance of the actors is still very important!" So my opinion is that these four young people can be those supporting roles, and they can also be used as stand-ins for the leading actors at critical moments, but the roles that really require acting skills must be done by real actors! ”

“……”

After listening to Wei Xiaolin's words, Sun Peng suddenly fell silent.

With the so-called real actors to play, there is no doubt that the salary needs to be greatly increased, which Sun Peng can accept. But what he is worried about is that this is a martial arts movie, if professional actors are invited as Wei Xiaolin said, can they play these knights or killers in the martial arts world well?

The actors in this world have not been influenced by martial arts and TV series.

Take Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung and others as examples, maybe they don't have martial arts skills, but which Chinese in that era has never seen martial arts? Who hasn't watched a martial arts TV series in Hong Kong? That kind of chivalrous culture has almost been engraved into their bones, so when they star in a movie like "New Dragon Inn", it is relatively easy to express it.

But for the actors in this world, Sun Peng is not so sure!

And......

How should these young men who have patiently waited for the opportunity and persevered until now, how can they explain it?

As if he had guessed Sun Peng's thoughts, Wei Xiaolin suddenly smiled: "Teacher Sun, if you are worried about those young people just now, I don't think it's a big problem. I'm sure they're all sensible people, and I'll just explain it to them when the time comes, and I personally think that only if your film is successful, their future will be brighter, right? ”

"Uh...... That's right! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng could only nod.

"New Dragon Gate Inn" is successful, and the future of martial arts movies and even martial arts TV series will be bright, and as the first batch of "specialized talents" "cultivated" by Sun Peng, Ye Xing and they will undoubtedly usher in real opportunities. And if "New Dragon Gate Inn" fails, or fails to meet Sun Peng's expectations, then what is the result of Ye Xing? Even if Sun Peng invests in two more movies or TV series in the future, what's the point?

Thinking of this, Sun Peng took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I'll talk about this matter!" Mr. Wei, do you have a suitable candidate? Belch...... But don't recommend a big-name actor to me, I can't afford to hire it! ”

With the current prices of Chinese stars, it is not much more than on the earth.

It is normal to invite a second- or third-tier star to millions or tens of millions of a play, and it is normal to invite a first-line star of twenty or thirty million, if it is the most popular and famous ones, inviting one person will basically exhaust the budget of "New Dragon Gate Inn". The only thing that Sun Peng is fortunate for is that the competition in this world is more intense, and the salaries of celebrities are relatively reasonable, at least not so exaggerated compared to the earth, after all, the high GDP of China in this world is scary......

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find you something cheap!"

Smiling slightly, Wei Xiaolin waved his hand and said, "Teacher Sun, have you forgotten what I used to do?" I have filmed many costume films, and some of them are our domestic war masterpieces, so I know a lot of ...... of such good actors."

……

"Teacher Sun, we understand!"

As soon as Sun Peng told him what he had just talked about with Wei Xiaolin, Liao Chen immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "We are all cucumber eggs who have never learned acting, and we are already very lucky to be able to appear in your movie, as for being the protagonist or something...... Haha, I'll talk about it when I have the ability in the future! ”

"yes, yes, we're fine!"

"I don't have an opinion either, Mr. Sun, you don't have to be so polite!"

As Meng Lingjun and Tang Sheng expressed their positions, Sun Peng's eyes fell on the last person, Ye Xing, who was also the guy he valued the most. At the beginning, he promised to praise him as a star, but now he has suddenly changed from the expected protagonist to a supporting role, can this kid accept it?

"Teacher Sun, I don't have an opinion either!"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xing bit his lip and said, "Although I also want to be the protagonist, I know that I am too far away since I heard your arrangement to go to the acting training class!" Being able to accumulate experience as a supporting role first is my current idea! ”

The more you know, the more you know where you're wrong.

If it was Ye Xing when he first followed Sun Peng to play "Battle of the Warehouse", I am afraid that he would have been full of confidence a long time ago, and it would be okay not to be the protagonist? But now, after a few months of training classes, he finally understands how many pounds he has. Of course, I also understand better what it means for newcomers to be able to play an important supporting role for a movie with an investment of tens of millions.

There was some disappointment, but not to the point of dissatisfaction.

"Okay, thank you for your understanding!"

"Haha, you're so polite!"

Sun Peng just wanted to say something of thanks, but Liao Chen suddenly laughed: "By the way, Mr. Sun, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, Hou Zhicheng's kid promised to come back, saying that he would deal with the finishing work in the past few days, and he would report it next Monday at the latest!" ”

"Really? That's great! ”

Sun Peng was suddenly happy, looking at Ye Xing, Liao Chen and others who were a little lost but still full of anticipation in front of him, he was really looking forward to the start of filming "New Dragon Gate Inn......
