Chapter 232: Re-enacting a literary film

Zhang Yuanjun can feel that Jing Tian's liking for himself is the fans' pursuit of idols, not the love between men and women.

Some people will think that Jing Tian can be taken advantage of as a door-to-door bargain.

Actually, it's not necessary.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't know who was behind this girl, but he also understood that she was not small, just maintain a friendly relationship with this kind of person, why bother to make trouble.

The exchange activities with Sanqin had nothing to do with the actors, and the actor team returned to Beijing ahead of schedule.

On the second night of Zhang Yuanjun's return to Beijing, Liu Yifei also returned to the capital after the performance, but Liu Yifei was a little tired, and the two did not meet.

Zhang Yuanjun also has other things to do these days, and the script of "Detachment" has been released.

The three of them were very satisfied, and decided to use this draft to code up the actors first.

"Detachment" will be made into a co-production, and it is bound to use Hong Kong Island actors, the actor has been determined, Shu Chang has rejected the heroine Shanshan, or takes care of the image and is unwilling to make sacrifices.

Luo Qirui stretched out his hand, he wanted to recommend a Hong Kong Island actress to play with Zhang Yuanjun.

Mainland actresses are reluctant to take off, some actors on Hong Kong Island are willing, and there is no shortage of young actors on Hong Kong Island who come out at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Luo Qirui found the information of more than 50 little girls around 20 years old in one go and sent them to Li Yang and Zhang Yuanjun, and said: "Whichever one you like, call which one to audition, they all want to appear." ”

But in fact, Zhang Yuanjun and Li Yang don't want to use Hong Kong Island actresses to play Shanshan, and the two prefer to bring people directly from the capital to Hong Kong Island, preferably familiar actors, so that filming will be smoother and smoother.

But for other roles, Zhang Yuanjun doesn't mind leaving them to Hong Kong Island.

By the end of January, almost all three of the characters in the film had intended candidates, and the rest were to be discussed one by one.

Li Yang sent his assistant back to Beijing to assist in the casting of Zhang Yuanjun's studio, and he himself was also preparing for filming with the Yintuo agency on Hong Kong Island.

Once the casting of the movie begins, it can't be hidden from the industry.

"Zhang Yuanjun will make another art film, and the new film will join hands with Li Yang to pay attention to the issue of youth education!"

"Li Yang's new film has begun to prepare, and the actor has confirmed Zhang Yuanjun!"

Zhang Yuanjun's path is really beyond everyone's expectations, he is different from other actors.

If "Love Has an Afterlife" is to repay Feihong's favor, and it makes sense that he had to take it, then why did he take the initiative to shoot "Detachment"?

Zhang Yuanjun definitely knows how high his commercial value is, but he seems to be obsessed with it in the past two years, acting in dramas and making literary films, and he doesn't know how to strike while the iron is hot.

Look at Huang Xiaoming, who would think about making any literary films, and seize the time to brush his face in the blockbusters of major directors.

Xu Wenqiang of "New Shanghai Beach" has eaten such a big cake by him.

"The Legend of Deer and Ding" will also be broadcast this year.

These are all characters with very high exposure.

The studio staff didn't persuade him, but Zhang Yuanjun didn't listen, saying that he knew what he was doing.

Zhang Yuanjun's name is quite effective when it comes to attracting investment.

After all, he is the first student and has a lot of international popularity, and many filmmakers are willing to vote for him.

But the cost of "Detachment" is not big after all, only 5 million, so the investment was quickly completed.

In fact, the 5 million, Zhang Yuanjun's studio, Yindu Agency and Li Yang's Kunpeng Nebula can be rounded.

But the producer, everyone wants to bring in a few more people to share the risk.

Therefore, Zhang Yuanjun still accepted the funds of China Film and the European MK2 Cinema Line, the latter is the relationship that Zhang Yuanjun met in Cannes.

After the other party learned that the original idea of "Buried Alive" came from Zhang Yuanjun, they expressed their appreciation for him and hoped to cooperate.

Not to mention that Zhang Yuanjun's studio itself also invests and produces, which makes MK2 even more impressed by this young man in the East, and after learning that he is going to make a literary film that reflects the education of young people, MK2 quickly threw an olive branch.

An important reason for choosing MK2 is that Zhang Yuanjun is counting on MK2 to sell films for himself.

MK2 can be said to be the world's most prestigious art theater chain, with a complete global distribution channel, and has a deep relationship with the three major European ones, whether it is distribution or public relations, MK2 is a good partner for literary films.

"Animal World" made a lot of money for Shangying, Ren Zhonglun wanted to invest in "Detachment", but Zhang Yuanjun chose Zhongying.

No way, it was said.

Zhang Yuanjun mixed in the capital, but "Fame" and "Animal World" were both filmed in the magic capital, although the former's investment came from China Film.

It's all about the world, what's the matter, there are so many film companies in the capital that you can't find money and have to go to the magic capital?

Don't you take the big brother of China Film in your eyes?

When Han Dong talked to him, Zhang Yuanjun complained in his heart: "The matter of millions is so big, it crushes people to death." ”

The studio still approached Huayi, and Zhang Yuanjun's project could be handed directly to Wang Zhonglei, but Huayi gave up "Detachment", they don't have the heart to make literary films now, and they don't want to pay one or two million to Zhang Yuanjun.

On the 17th, Zhang Yuanjun participated in the premiere of "Buried Alive" in Beijing alone, and he was in a theater, interacting with fans and audiences.

The scale is not large, after all, it is just a batch of films.

But International Zhang's name is a bit useful, and a few celebrity friends also came to the scene to help.

""Buried Alive" is the first foreign language film I starred in, and you can also tell me what you think." After watching the movie, the atmosphere was not very warm, and Zhang Yuanjun took the initiative to ask the audience to speak.

In fact, he has no bottom at the domestic box office of "Buried Alive", although it is a batch of films, it has nothing to do with him whether he sells more or less, but after all, he spent time and energy to make it with great difficulty, and now it is impossible to face the domestic audience and not care.

An audience member raised his hand to speak: "I'm a Penguin reporter, when I watched foreign media report this film, I said that you specifically asked the director to lock you up in order to find the feeling of being closed, right?" Can you tell us about that? ”

Zhang Yuanjun swore that this was definitely not a childcare he had hired at his own expense.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I asked our director to lock me up in a small house to experience life. Because don't look at the movie, I was sealed in a coffin, but the coffin on our shooting site was specially made, and he only sealed three sides in order to put the machine well, and it was semi-open. Before the filming started, I was worried that I would not be able to enter the state of such an environment, so I asked the director to find me a small airtight house to lock me in. It's closed for a week, and I only give one meal a day, and I can't eat enough. Because I'm looking for that closed state, not only psychologically, but also physiologically, and the real physiological reaction is the most shocking. ”

"Then will you go to Hollywood in the future?"

"Look at fate, I'm definitely still in China, and I can shoot anywhere with a good book." Zhang Yuanjun said.

""Buried Alive" has now exceeded $70 million at the global box office, do you have any expectations for the domestic box office?"

"I don't dare to say anything about it, don't let China Film lose money, otherwise I won't be able to see Han Dong in the future."

Zhang Yuanjun's joke caused laughter from the audience. (End of chapter)
