Chapter 284: I Still Refuse
The air conditioner whirred cold air, and the curtains in the reception room were slightly raised, as if they wanted to escape from here.
Li Shengyao heard Zhao Yanzi's words, nodded slightly, and then poured a cup of tea.
At this time, Zhao Yanzi's agent continued: "Director Li, although we are very famous, we are definitely a very useful actor, she usually shoots very hard, "Huanzhu Gege", "Chivalrous Girl Breaks Love" flies around, she doesn't need a stand-in, and the previous "Shaolin Football", such an ugly shape, we don't blink our eyes, and we go directly to the court."
Zhao Yanzi's character is not to mention, she really works hard in acting, except for the lines, she has not been good, and the others are at the upper middle level.
"And our Weiwei salary is also low, like Zhang Ziyi and them, they are all more expensive than Weiwei, we can Weiwei two million, this price is definitely good and cheap."
The salary of mainland actresses is generally low, at this time, internal entertainment, that is, Zhang Ziyi, may have a salary of 3 million, Zhao Yanzi is second-class, about 2 million, and other actresses may not have 2 million.
However, at the price of two million, considering Zhao Wei's popularity, she is indeed cheap.
Seeing that Li Shengyao was silent, the agent continued: "Director Li, as far as these actresses are concerned, which one of us is slightly famous and has a wide audience, to put it mildly, except for Sun Wukong, that is, Xiaoyanzi is the most famous."
"You are a big director, your first movie, naturally there must be a row, we can definitely let you have a row, and can bring a lot of attention."
is still not wrong, although Zhao Yanzi is now called box office poison by the media, her fame is there.
If you use her as the female number one, you don't need a water army, just help the reporters and fans to stir up the heat.
"Director Li, we are slightly on Hong Kong Island, and Wanwan is also famous, which is conducive to selling films."
The agent racked his brains and said another reason.
"Huanzhu Gege" was a big hit in Hong Kong Island back then, but Zhao Yanzi acted in several Hong Kong Island movies, except for "Shaolin Football", which had a good box office, everything else was average.
It turns out that Shaolin football is because of Zhou Xingxing.
The Hong Kong Island film industry held her in the early stage, but later saw that she could not bring the box office, so they stopped cooperating with her.
If you bend the bend, Zhao Yanzi is indeed popular, but this film market is dead and silent, and Hollywood blockbusters will not have too high a box office, which is not interesting.
Li Shengyao thought about it, felt that there was no need to hang others, and said seriously: "I recognize Mr. Zhao's efforts and her market, but I need to find an actress who can play well for my movie this time, with Mr. Zhao's physical condition, even if I practice for two months, it will be difficult to meet the standard."
He was telling the truth.
That is, this year's "Million Dollar Baby", Lao Dongmu's movie, the female lead Hilary Mike is actually about 1.65 meters, and when she wears a skirt, she looks at a small one, but she wears a tight vest and can see very obvious back muscles.
She has always liked fitness, and before filming this movie, she prepared for half a year.
Lee Shengyao is looking forward to two months of training, and of course he needs to find an actress with a good foundation.
To be honest, Li Shengyao was a little worried.
It's not the 80s, when there were a couple of women on Hong Kong Island.
Li Saifeng, Michelle Yeoh, they have good looks and can fight, although they are flower fists and embroidered legs, but they play neatly and very good-looking.
He has been looking at actress information during this time, and he has not found a suitable one.
He found that the slightly more suitable person turned out to be Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Niangniang was beating women during this time, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", and "Ambush on All Sides" all had fighting scenes.
It's okay.
However, Zhang Ziyi's film appointment has already been scheduled for two years later, and then she has "Night Banquet", "Memoirs of a Geisha", and "2046".
Li Shengyao couldn't wait that long for her.
He then checked the actress who had practiced kung fu in Neiyu, or taekwondo, and soon found his sister-in-law Yu Zhi, he asked Yu Zhi to come over and take a look, and found that she was still there, but the whole temperament was too charming, and there was no feeling of a women's boxing world champion.
Regarding the temperament of actors, Li Shengyao has always felt that there is no need to adjust.
It's like Liang Chaowei's acting skills are absolutely no problem, but he plays Zhou Yu, where does he feel like Zhou Yu.
and Zhang Jiawei, there is absolutely no problem with his acting skills, but the comedy he plays can't support the wall.
The vast majority of actors are people who play their own temperament, and there are too few changeable actors like Liang Jiahui.
Yu Zhi doesn't have that temperament, Li Shengyao won't consider making adjustments, she is not Liang Jiahui, and she can't be adjusted.
He then found that Liu Tao had practiced taekwondo, and it was said that his rank was not low, but he was still not very good, the whole was too gentle, with a pair of big eyes and tender water, and he did not have the temperament of a women's boxing World Cup champion.
Zhao Yanzi and the agent heard Li Shengyao's words, and there was disappointment in their eyes, and the two of them said some polite words, and then left.
Li Shengyao returned to the office, continued to study, and suddenly thought of the post-eighty-five actors.
Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi are both dance majors, and these two scenes in costume dramas are very good-looking.
However, both of them are too young, and their acting skills are not very good, so they are not suitable for being heroines on the big screen.
These two are actually quite rare, and it is also a talent to play well.
Chen Hao, Li Xiaolan, and Dong Xuan have all practiced dancing since childhood, but they don't look good and are weak.
After these two years, the other post-85 generations, as well as the post-90s generation, are not good at playing.
The male protagonist of "Punch, Dad" has a total of four daughters, and if the boss wants to win the world championship, he must find a decent and imposing one, and the second and third children don't need to be so professional.
Liu Shishi is now seventeen years old, but he can play the third child.
Just as Li Shengyao was thinking, the assistant knocked on the door and led Zhao Yanzi's agent back.
After the assistant left, she said: "Director Li, you can think about it again, she is really working hard, if you don't believe her sincerity, after this movie, she can still act in Fenghua drama."
Li Shengyao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then understood what the agent meant.
It's a deal.
Let her play the female number one in "Punch, Dad", and then she will continue to act in Fenghua drama.
Zhao Yanzi's appeal in the TV drama circle is undoubted, if she acts in a TV series, as long as the script is not too bad, she will definitely be able to make money.
Good chips.
But...... Lee is responsible for his work.
In fact, even if Zhang Ziyi comes to play the female number one, he has to audition, and Zhang Ziyi also needs to train at high intensity for two months, and there must be obvious muscles in his arms and back, otherwise he will not agree.
"No, let's have a chance to work together again in the future."
After Zhao Yanzi's agent left disappointed, Li Shengyao stood up and came to the window.
The construction site is being carried out in the distance, and the tall and long tower crane is particularly conspicuous, which plays a very important role.
But who knows, the operator of the tower crane sits in a small iron box-like studio, sitting for hours, tired and hot, and needs to be 100% focused, and the pressure can be imagined.
Li Shengyao feels like an operator, looking at the scenery, but actually cautious.
