Chapter 146. Preparation [2-in-1]
After helping Liu Yifei record the song, Sun Yi's focus returned to "The Nameless" again.
Time is indeed a bit rushed, this is about to be the New Year, and then about May and June, the studio still has two TV series "My Group" and "Latent" to be launched at the same time, I'm afraid he will have to turn around again this year.
He now draws storyboards in the studio every day, and then checks the location survey with the camera crew who went to Qiannan.
In these years, the network speed is not so fast, and the video material is very difficult to upload, so you can only watch it through photos first.
Senior Brother Liu and the camera crew have been inspecting Duyun for a few days, and the feedback on the scene is very good, which is indeed very in line with the urban background in the script.
Sun Yi communicated with Senior Brother Liu, and determined that the first choice for this drama is in Duyun, and now it is necessary for the camera crew to select some suitable shooting locations and street scenes in advance, record them, and bring them back to the capital.
Now the problem in front of Sun Yi is casting.
The first is the candidate for the leading actor, the most famous celebrity, Zhang Guoli.
Purple Jade Villa in Beijing
Sun Yi was holding a fragrant tea in his hand, chatting with Aunt Deng Jie.
Sitting here again, he couldn't help but feel how quickly his identity had changed.
At the beginning of his rebirth, when he came to Zhang Dajiao's house for the first time, he was still a senior high school student who had just passed the art exam, and he didn't know if he could take the road of the entertainment industry.
The second time I came to Mr. Zhang's house, he was already a sophomore in the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy, and he had starred in a movie and TV series, and won the Best Newcomer Award for Popular Films.
Regardless of the final result, this favor is real, and you have to bear it.
Today, this is the third time I have visited my home, and I am already a director and project producer.
It doesn't mean that the director or project producer necessarily has a higher status than the actor, this thing is relative, and it depends on the actual situation, such as qualifications and background.
can't say that a rookie director, just because he is a director can have a higher status than an old actor.
Therefore, this also depends on strength, and the relevant factors also involve all aspects.
Sun Yi came this time and invited Zhang Guoli to play the role, which is the relationship between the rookie director and the veteran actor, so the initiative is actually on Zhang Guoli's side.
Even if the script of "Nobody" is good enough, it can't work.
With Sun Yi's current heels, this role is definitely not humane, and it can only be said that he will continue to deepen the binding with Zhang Daji.
"Xiao Yi, you acted really well in the movie "Those Years". I went to the cinema with you, Uncle Zhang. ”
Deng Jie refilled the teacup in front of Sun Yi with a cup of tea, and praised Sun Yi very much.
Speaking of which, Deng Jie and Zhang Guoli can be regarded as a pair of well-known virtuous couples in the entertainment industry.
Since she married Zhang Guoli, she gave up her acting career, helped run the family and home wholeheartedly, and even chose not to have her own children for the relationship between Zhang Guoli and his son.
Even among ordinary people, it is difficult for a few women to do this, let alone in such an impetuous entertainment industry.
And in Deng Jie's opinion.
Sun Yi is young, mature and steady, polite, can do things, and has a sweet mouth, for a middle-aged woman of her age who has no children of her own, not to mention how much she likes it.
In addition, her husband is very optimistic about this child, and in just two years, he has indeed made some brilliant achievements, much stronger than the wild and untamable one at home.
If it weren't for the fact that Sun Yi was still young now, she wouldn't want to talk to someone she introduced.
"Aunt Deng, I'll come by myself, come by myself."
Sun Yi bowed slightly, held the teacup in both hands, and hurriedly replied.
"Xiaoyi, you wait, aunt will wash some fruit for you."
"Aunt Deng, you rest, don't be busy, I'm embarrassed, I don't dare to come again next time."
Sun Yi hurriedly got up and waved his hand again and again.
"What's the matter, sit there honestly, when you come to your aunt's house, you will treat it as your own family, don't pay so much attention to it, your Uncle Zhang is estimated to be busy soon, and you will be able to come down in a while, don't worry."
As he spoke, he pressed back Sun Yi, who had just gotten up, and turned around and went to the kitchen.
Sun Yi really felt embarrassed, he had made an appointment in advance to visit Zhang Guoli, but he didn't expect that by coincidence, Big Brother Zhang suddenly had a phone call, and it seemed that he was still a very important person, so he kept calling in the upstairs study.
After a while, Deng Jie walked out of the kitchen with a delicate fruit bowl.
"Come, Xiaoyi, eat some fruit."
"Thank you, Aunt Deng."
Sun Yi hurriedly stood up and took it with both hands.
"What do you do with such politeness, this kid."
"Oh, the more things get to the bottom of the year, the more things happen, and every day there is no head."
Zhang Guoli walked down from the upstairs study with a smile.
"Uncle Zhang."
"Sit there, sit there, wait a while."
"No, just for a moment."
Zhang Guoli sat on the sofa and picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.
"Taste, this is your Aunt Deng's own planting, it's sweet."
"Well, it's really delicious, much stronger than the ones on the market, and it's absolutely natural green food."
Zhang Guoli laughed heartily after hearing this, and asked again:
"I heard you say on the phone yesterday that you have a notebook and want to ask me to act?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhang, I do have a notebook, I want you to set up a stage."
As he spoke, Sun Yi took out the script from the small bag he was carrying and handed it over.
Zhang Guoli took the script, opened it directly, and said again:
"Xiaojie, hand me my glasses."
Before the words fell, a pair of glasses had already appeared in front of Zhang Guoli.
Deng Jie glanced at Zhang Guoli with some disgust, and said, "You still need to say it."
"Oh, haha."
Zhang Guoli smiled and put on his glasses.
Sun Yi looked at the old couple who seemed to have a good heart, and he was quite envious in his heart.
The two have gone through so many years and experienced ups and downs, but they are still so affectionate.
It's sweet, but it's not greasy at all.
Zhang Guoli looked at the script, and Deng Jie didn't chat with Sun Yi anymore, but took care of his sweater on the side.
It seems that it is either for Zhang Guoli or for his son.
Sun Yi has always had a question in his heart, he has been here three times, but he has not met the lord once, could it be that he has already separated from the family early?
However, this matter is purely a family affair, and he can only ask this when his brain is in water.
Sitting quietly on the side, waiting for more than 30 minutes, Zhang Guoli took off his glasses and rubbed his somewhat interfering eyes.
"Was it a book written by your kid?"
"Ah, yes."
"Okay, yes, it's a good story."
Sun Yi scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"If I'm not mistaken, this book of your kid tells the story of different characters' adherence to their own dignity and their struggle against fate."
Zhang Guoli expressed his own understanding of the script.
"That's right, Uncle Zhang, I use an absurd comedy style with black elements to tell the story of how the low-level characters face the oppression of life, how they stick to their hearts, how they resist and struggle."
"The writing is good, very level, let's talk about it, how to arrange it."
Sun Yi understands that what Zhang Da Boss is asking must be the arrangement of the entire film project, and he is out of the identity of an elder and wants to check himself.
"Uncle Zhang, this film is jointly funded by my personal studio and China Film Group, with a planned total investment of 10 million, and China Film Group is responsible for 30% of the film distribution and is responsible for the distribution of the film."
Hearing Sun Yi say that China Film Group participated in the investment, Zhang Guoli raised his eyebrows, which was a little unexpected.
In fact, when Sun Yi said yesterday that there was a role he wanted to play, he made up his mind.
As long as the book is not too bad, the film is well-made and well-made, and it is not shoddy, he is ready to agree.
It's both a pull and a compensation.
First, he is really optimistic about Sun Yi's potential, and secondly, it is mainly about Sun Yi's role being changed last time in "Assembly Number".
When Sun Yi was replaced, Feng Xiaogang also called him to explain to him, and after knowing what happened, he was a little powerless.
Huayi did this thing first, he has nothing to do, or in other words, if he wants to solve it, the price he needs to pay is too great, and the payment is completely disproportional to the income.
It was still the incident of "Soldier Assault" at the beginning, I thought that even if Huayi had eyes and no beads in "Soldier Assault", it would not make Sun Yi earn much more.
He really didn't expect that "Soldier Assault" would be so popular, he specifically asked someone to inquire, and Sun Yi earned at least more than 20 million in a "Soldier Assault".
This number, let alone Huayi, even if it is placed in him, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not be tempted.
Moreover, Sun Yi later directly rejected Huayi's solicitation, giving Huayi a reason to directly open the blockade.
Fortunately, Huayi has not done too much, and more or less has taken care of the thin noodles between himself and Xiao Yu, but only closed the projects under Huayi and participated in the investment of Sun Yi, and did not launch an industry-wide blockade.
The consequences of being responsible are unimaginable, and he himself doesn't know if that's the case, whether he will force his head out for this kid.
It is estimated that there is a high probability that it will not, it should make Sun Yi silent for a few years, and then find a chance to help him make a comeback after waiting for the rumors.
So this time Zhang Guoli has some meaning of compensation, but I didn't expect that now there is an endorsement from China Film Group, so if you look at it this way, as long as this movie is successful, this kid's future future will be limitless.
Fortunately, he invested in Sun Yi early, as long as the relationship is not broken, this matter is absolutely fine.
Zhang Guoli can care about so much, and the starting point is also for his son. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, just like the dying orphans, in case they can't wait for their old couple to die, Sun Yi will be able to remember this old love in the future, give his son a way out, and eat a mouthful.
Thinking of this, Zhang Guoli also made a decision in his heart, and said directly:
"Okay, I didn't expect Han Dong to be so optimistic about your movie, it seems that you can come to Uncle Zhang to star, Uncle Zhang has to thank you."
"Oh, Uncle Zhang, what are you talking about, this is my first time as a director, and I don't have any experience, so I pointed to you to give me a scene when the time comes."
Everyone carries a sedan chair, and everyone loves to hear good words.
Zhang Guoli shook his head with a smile, pointed at Sun Yi and said to Deng Jie:
"Look at this kid, this sweet mouth."
Deng Jie chuckled and said:
"The dessert is good, and the girl likes it."
"Hahaha"
Sun Yi touched his nose a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect Aunt Deng to be involved in this aspect.
"Okay, the specific time, the shooting location has been decided, how is it arranged?"
"Oh, the location has been determined, Duyun in southern Qiannan, is now making preliminary preparations, and it is expected to start shooting after the year, about 40 days, and the shooting will be completed before the end of April."
Zhang Guoli calculated his schedule in his mind, and after a while, he nodded slightly.
"Well, Cheng, no problem, it's my hometown over there, I worked in Qiannan when I was young, and I just took the opportunity to go back and have a look."
"Oh, that's great, with you, Uncle Zhang, I'm much more sure-footed."
"Don't be steady."
Zhang Guoli turned around, looked at Sun Yi with a rather playful expression, and asked:
"Director Xiao Sun, how much salary are you going to give me as an old man, but you can't lower the price too much, I have to buy you a gift for Aunt Deng."
"Hey, what are you talking nonsense in front of the child?"
Deng Jie stabbed Zhang Guoli with his arm and said to Sun Yi:
"Xiaoyi, listen to your aunt, if you don't have any money, you can take care of your Uncle Zhang's food and drink when the time comes, if you don't repair it, help your nephew, and raise money."
Sun Yi smiled when he heard this.
However, he didn't take it to heart, he couldn't take it seriously, the money would definitely be given.
Sun Yi really studied this issue of salary before he came, but Zhang didn't make a movie last year, so it's hard to calculate.
And the kind of price that is uploaded in the market is often not taken seriously.
According to his upcoming TV series "Golden Wedding", 50 episodes, 100,000 yuan per episode, filmed for half a year, and the salary is 5 million.
Sun Yi used a 40-day schedule to give a price that he had discussed with Yang Fan in advance.
"Aunt Deng, you're joking, Uncle Zhang can come to help, I'm already very happy, salary is the rule of the industry, one yard is one yard, I can't listen to you about this."
"Uncle Zhang, how about you look at 1.2 million?"
"Look, look, women's families, they don't understand anything, the rules of the industry can't be broken."
"It's you. Xiao Yi, listen to my aunt, touch the zero, make it up, if you still don't agree, this matter will be pulled down, I can't let him go. ”
"Hey, you're the guy."
Zhang Guoli shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, okay, thank you Aunt Deng, thank you Uncle Zhang."
Sun Yi is very grateful, he understands that no matter what the starting point is, the couple is sincere to him, and this is enough.
The actor of "Nobody" is finished.
For the role of a pair of robbers, Sun Yi also specially asked Zhang Yi to come to the studio to sign a contract.
Zhang Yi is not picky about the role at all, he can act in movies if he has a book, for an actor like him who is not from a professional class, has no background, and has no connections, he feels that he is already smoking on the ancestral grave.
Sun Yi gave him a salary of 100,000 yuan.
This price is not the bottom, according to the time and scene, the price of a third-tier actor is properly calculated.
The rest of the problem is mainly the heroine and the girl who has lost her footing.
The three heroine candidates, he has asked Guo Ming to contact them one by one.
As for the personnel of this stumbling girl, a coquettish figure suddenly flashed in his mind.
Well, she's suitable.
Finally, I don't owe any debts, 8000+ today.
