Regarding the new film of the Pacific Ocean, people in the circle have always paid attention to it.

Film companies want to know the specifics of the project, and if they can intervene in the investment, they will do everything they can to participate in the investment.

If not, it will be judged according to some circumstances of the project whether to temporarily avoid Fengcheng and avoid being released in the same schedule.

It's a great opportunity for the rest of the circle.

Now, who doesn't know that the Pacific Ocean is strong, and the movies invested and filmed in recent years have basically become popular.

Among them, there are many films that have entered Europe and the United States.

In the past few years of the decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan films, most people in the entertainment industry are thinking about their future outlet.

Some people have already seen the mainland market and are already planning to develop in the mainland.

Others chose to retire.

Among them, there are also many ambitious people who have set their sights on Europe and the United States.

In the past few years, as Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan have shined in Europe and the United States, and Liming and Andy Lau have made a certain name in Europe and the United States.

This makes more people think that going to Europe and the United States for development is a good choice.

Whether it is in front of the stage or behind the scenes, there are people who have entered Hollywood with the help of Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan.

Of course, there are also people who don't have a clue how to break into Hollywood.

As a result, Pacific movies successfully entered their sights.

Making movies about the Pacific can be popular.

This is the consensus of most people in the circle.

This can be seen from the fact that Liming and Andy Lau are worth a lot in Hollywood because of their filming of Pacific movies.

Especially Andy Lau, the Lone Agent series has made him famous in Europe and the United States, and the current European and American films have reached about 3 million US dollars per film.

Not to mention becoming a superstar, but also managed to gain a foothold.

With the experience of the previous car, the drama of the Pacific Ocean has naturally become a sweet and sweet.

Even if everyone knows that they will definitely not be able to win the protagonist, it will be a very lucky thing if the supporting role can get it.

Zou Zhaolong starred in "The Disaster of the Python" because of his match for Chen Qiming before, and gained a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Since then, he has played supporting roles in several European and American movies.

Therefore, when some information about the new drama in the Pacific was exposed, many people in the circle suddenly couldn't sit still.

The news pictures of the Oriental Daily are very eye-catching, allowing everyone to clearly see the giant ship.

Ancient warships, the flag is bright.

No one in the circle is a fool, and it is easy to guess that the drama Pacific is a costume drama from the Ming Dynasty.

And since it is a costume drama and the warship is still the Ming Dynasty, it is obvious that Chinese actors are needed.

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan actors guessed this, and then began to use their own means, wanting to get a role from the Pacific Ocean, that is, Chen Qiming.

From the afternoon of the day the news broke, a large number of calls were made to the Pacific side.

Some agents even called Chen Qiming, wanting to fight for the role of his own artist.

For example, Ge Fuhong, Chen Qiming's former agent.

She personally called Chen Qiming and wanted to ask Takeshi Kaneshiro for a role.

Takeshi Kaneshiro has been mixing very well in the past two years.

After leaving the music scene, he first developed in Hong Kong for a while, making several films.

Later, he moved to Japan and mixed in the fashion circle.

Because his face has a very good audience, he is now very famous in Japan.

It's just, although it mixes well.

was even the second best person among the four idol kings of the year.

But now among all the stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, they are actually second-rate.

No way, with the emergence of Chen Qiming, the current Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are even better than before.

Now, the only people who can be called superstars are obviously Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan.

Both are internationally famous, one is a kung fu superstar and the other is a world pop superstar.

Under the two of them, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow and Chow Yun-fat are another grade.

These people are the leading box office leaders in the Chinese film industry.

Then, there are Tony Leung, Ekin Cheng, Takeshi Kaneshiro and others.

Compared with others, Takeshi Kaneshiro has a certain advantage.

Because he has already managed to make a name for himself in Japan.

It's just that he has one thing to criticize.

That is, he can't afford the box office.

How to say it!

Takeshi Kaneshiro is a typical kind of future top traffic.

The popularity is called a high, and there will be a large number of fans chasing after it.

But as a result, if he played the leading role in the movie he starred in, either the box office did not meet expectations, or it was a small profit, but the reputation was bad.

His phenomenon is typical of being popular but not at the box office.

Similar to him are Wu Qilong, as well as some popular TV series actors.

It's a strange kind of actor, and if he plays a supporting role in a certain movie, you think he's very good.

But if you let him play the leading role, you will find out that what kind of chicken bar thing you play, I think you might as well watch an educational film.

The reason for this phenomenon.

Chen Qiming has studied it, but in fact, it is nothing more than acting.

The above-mentioned actors, when they play supporting roles, the focus of the camera is not on them, and because they are popular and have an outstanding image, they only need to act as vases.

Vase! There are not many plays, but they often come to attract people's attention.

And let them play the starring role, then the situation will be different.

A good movie, no matter what type of movie it is, the starring role can not be the best acting in the whole play.

However, he can't be the worst one either.

Even if his acting skills are ordinary, relying on the excellence of others can still pull up the quality of the whole play a little.

But if the leading actor is too crotch-pulling, the whole play will be directly crossed.

You don't act like it, it's not in place, no matter how good the script is, it's actually blind.

Some people here may say that Takeshi Kaneshiro's acting skills are very good, and he has also won the best actor.

In this regard, Chen Qiming has something to say.

As a former classmate, Chen Qiming knows him very well.

Does Takeshi Kaneshiro have acting skills?

Yes, but not much.

Especially at this stage, he definitely can't afford to be the title of actor.

Take a look at the plays he played, "Chinese Dragon", "The Adventure King", and the Fengyun two-part series starring with Chen Qiming.

He performed very well in these scenes.

But if you look closely, you will find that he is actually a vase in it.

It's just to be handsome for the sake of being handsome.

Of course, Takeshi Kaneshiro also has other plays, such as "Fallen Angel", such as "Chongqing Forest".

In these two plays, his performance seems to be very good, and he was even nominated for an award.

But seriously, is he really good at acting in these two plays?

Let's just say that, as a person who has filmed with Wong Kar-wai.

Although Chen Qiming has a gap with him, he hates Wong Kar-wai very much.

But he has to admit that Wong Kar-wai's camera mastery is definitely world-class in the Chinese-speaking region and even in the world.

Even if an actor with poor acting skills comes into his hands, he can shoot you flowers and make you look like an actor.

But, is he really an actor because of this?

No, that's Wong Kar-wai's footage, not the actor.

As judged by the same people, Chen Qiming thinks that there is Tony Leung.

In the memory of later generations, Tony Leung was blown so bad.

But in Chen Qiming's view, he is actually completely deified.

Looking at all of Tony Leung's films, you will find that his characters are actually completely a pattern.

In the future memory, he is worthy of the actor.

As for the other characters, they are basically all melancholy men.

To say that the real Hong Kong and Taiwan acting pinnacles.

Chen Qiming was not convinced by anyone, so he served Leung Jiahui.

This is really the pinnacle of acting, what is played, there is no disobedience, the decent villain is more pretentious, and less is not enough.

Straight to the point.

Faced with a call from Ge Fuhong, a former agent.

If it's other dramas, looking at the past, he will give an important role to Takeshi Kaneshiro.

But this time, Chen Qiming didn't.

He chose to refuse.

Because he already has plans and arrangements for the role of "Zheng He Goes to the West".

The plot of the play "Zheng He Goes to the West" is actually very simple.

It mainly tells a series of fantasy and adventure stories experienced by Zheng He, played by Chen Qiming, who led the fleet from the Ming Dynasty to East Asia and even East Africa.

Since Chen Qiming decided that the main market for this drama is Europe and the United States.

Then it is naturally impossible for him to make this drama a historical drama.

The main focus of this drama is adventure, it is the experience of the fleet encountering wind and waves at sea, huge sea beasts, fantasy species, it is action, it is the battle between the fleet and the local foreign natives, it is fantasy, in order to increase the highlights, there will be a lot of fantasy things in the movie.

For example, ghost ships that carry people on the sea, specializing in preying on human souls.

Indigenous mages, for example, can summon sea beasts to fight for themselves.

Another example is the undead pirates, who can't be killed no matter how they kill, and they must find their cursed gold coins.

Well, Chen Qiming admits that he mixed in a lot of Pirates of the Caribbean stuff in it.

But at the same time, he also added a lot of things with Chinese cultural heritage.

For example, the Holy Decree, the Holy Decree from the Ming Emperor has the ability to level the Heavenly Dao and demons, and even the gods have to retreat.

For example, Zheng He, the thirty-six strategies of the soldier can exert an immortal ability that ordinary people can hardly match in his hands.

Anyway, this is a magical Zheng He going to the West.

In addition to the story, Chen Qiming also worked the selection of actors for this play.

First of all, in addition to Zheng He, the protagonist also has his lieutenant, as well as a military general.

In addition, there will definitely be one or two more at sea, which will not be mentioned for the time being.

Among them, the role of deputy is very important.

In history, Zheng He's deputy Wang Jinghong served as Zheng He's deputy in the West several times and was his best partner.

On his seventh voyage to the West, Zheng He died of illness on the way, and it was Wang Jinghong who led the fleet back and brought them home completely.

This character will be an important character in almost the entire story of the series, and it will be very important.

So, it is very important for him to choose.

This actor must have enough acting skills to play against Chen Qiming, a two-time Golden Horse Award winner and a one-time Academy Award winner.

And he has to be cheap enough.

is still the same sentence, Chen Qiming hopes that this drama can become a series.

Since it is a series, it is necessary to consider whether the follow-up actors will ask for a salary increase because they are popular.

And after it becomes popular, will it rise to a sky-high price?

has acting skills, and it is cheap, and there are not many actors who are not worried that he is so popular that the crew can't afford the salary.

Leung Ka-fai should be counted as one.

And because Chen Qiming appreciates his acting skills very much and wants to cooperate with him, Chen Qiming invited Leung Ka-fai to this role as early as when the project was being planned.

The other party also wants to cooperate with Chen Qiming, and has already turned down most of next year's film contracts and is concentrating on studying this role.

And the role of a general, it is obvious that he is a person who wants to cut people.

Originally, Chen Qiming was willing to hand over this role to Zou Zhaolong.

After all, Zou Zhaolong has worked with him, and the action scenes are very online, so Chen Qiming wants him to play this role.

But what Chen Qiming didn't expect was that Zou Zhaolong thought he was not suitable for this role.

In the role positioning, this character is a big knife, a bit like Guan Gong, Zou Zhaolong feels that his image does not meet the role positioning.

Also, he's not very good at playing with a big knife.

So, he turned down the role.

In this regard, Chen Qiming couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

In the case that everyone wants to join his Chen Qiming crew, there are really not many existences like Zou Zhaolong who prioritize whether the role is suitable or not.

Therefore, with a wave of his hand, he handed over an important villain role in Zheng He's first part to the West.

Anyway, this guy likes villains, so let's be a villain for him and let him beat him up.

Of course, although Zou Zhaolong rejected the military general Wu Xuan, he also recommended someone for Chen Qiming.

Yu Rongguang.

is the one who mocked Jet Li for playing for hundreds of dollars a month.

At the beginning, "Letter to Dad" can be described as a collection of villains.

While Yu Rongguang served as the villain, Zou Zhaolong and Lu Huiguang also made cameos.

Zou Zhaolong met Yu Rongguang in this play.

He thinks that Yu Rongguang is more suitable for the role of Wu Xuan than him.

For this reason, Chen Qiming made a special appointment to meet Yu Huiguang and chatted with him roughly.

Not to mention, this guy is really perfect for this role.

It has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is suitable for playing a rough role.

At the same time, he was born as a martial artist of Peking Opera, not only good at playing, but also able to play weapons.

If he is allowed to star, he will stick a little beard when the time comes, and he will get rid of the image of an old rough general.

……

Influenced by the Oriental Daily, there are all kinds of speculations about the new Pacific drama.

Today someone reported that this is a historical drama, and tomorrow it will be said that this is a time-traveling drama.

Don't think that the term time-traveling is new to the 21st century.

In fact, seriously speaking, in the early 90s, this term already existed, and there have been many movies in this area.

For example, Tony Leung and Zhang Weijian's "Genuine Xiaobao: Hooking Girls by Order" filmed in 1993, as well as Wang Jing's "Super School Bully", and Yuan Biao and Yuan Hua's "Frozen Ice Man".

These are all movies about traveling through time and space that have appeared for a long time.

That was years ago, though.

This is recently, with "Xun Qin Ji", the word has become popular again, and it is the opposite of before, the story began from modern times to ancient times.

Because of this, after seeing the ship, some people mistakenly thought that this drama was the one that Chen Qiming said before and cooperated with Warner.

So some people speculate that this will be a play of ancient people crossing the modern era with a boat.

After all, if it weren't, how would Warner work with the Pacific?

The purpose of both parties is certainly for the global market.

But the historical drama of the Ming Dynasty obviously will not attract foreigners.

If you want to attract foreigners to the cinema, you have to have foreigners, and the story has to take place in a foreign country.

is like Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" and Andy Lau's "Lonely Agent".

Well, most people didn't expect that Zheng He would have a lot of contacts with foreigners when he went to the West, and he could fight a big war between China and the West.

It can't be helped.

During this period, most of them actually didn't think about filming this kind of communicative scene.

After all, this kind of drama is either a huge investment or a big scene, and ordinary people can't afford to play it.
