Chapter 245: Casting Preparations

It's not new, it just works.

This is true of "Buried Alive", this is true of "District 9", and this is true of "Source Code".

It's all about approving a layer of foreign devils' skins to pull investment.

However, Zhang Yuanjun is a particular person, he did not use garbage projects to cheat domestic bosses out of money, and both movies starred him, in order to ensure his reputation, he would not use bad movies to deceive.

It works!

After "Source Code" was covered in a Sino-American co-production, there was an endless stream of visitors, and Lionsgate even appointed a producer to China in order to make a good show.

Wuer fan people sit at home, blessing comes from the sky, I thought I took over a mess, but I didn't expect this stall to become fragrant and sweet in a blink of an eye.

Then, he began to worry about whether he would be replaced with the intervention of American investors, after all, he was just a rookie director.

But two days later, according to the people in Zhang Yuanjun's studio, their boss quarreled with the people of Lionsgate in order to keep the position of the director of Wuer Fan.

Wuer Fan was very grateful to Zhang Yuanjun for his trust, and he worked harder.

On the other hand, for the investors who flocked to it, the producers of "Source Code" implemented the principle of "focusing on screening and talking about everything" of Boss Zhang, and they have been at receptions with major companies in the past few days.

The producers' meeting is held every three days, chaired by Zhang Yuanjun in person, and the producers report their own situations.

At the second production meeting, Zhang Yuanjun kicked Huayi out, on the grounds that eggs can't be put in one basket, and he has cooperated with Huayi on several projects, and if he is given it again, it is easy for him to feel that we can't do without him.

"I gave him "Buried Alive" and "District 9", enough for him to use it to deceive investors, and if "Source Code" was given to him again, he had to fly and bite."

At the fourth production meeting, Zhang Yuanjun focused on delineating several companies.

After the meeting, Wu'er Fan found Zhang Yuanjun and asked him to hurry up the actors: "It looks like it's going to be June, and it takes time for the actors to be familiar with the script, and they can't delay the start time in July." ”

But Zhang Yuanjun had a difficulty, and the script of "Source Code" was beaten back by the General Administration.

This movie was originally going to be placed on Hong Kong Island, and it was okay to bomb Hong Kong Island.

Now that it is a Sino-US co-production, it is necessary to put the story back to the mainland, Zhang Yuanjun put the story on the S2 line of the upcoming Beijing suburban railway, and blew up Haidian.

But the script was rejected when it was handed over, saying that it couldn't bomb the capital, and S2 was opened for the Olympics, how could a terrorist attack happen, and besides, next year is the 60th anniversary, and the impact of this film next year's screening will not be good.

And under such approval opinions, China Film can't help if it wants to.

Zhang Yuanjun changed the script and went crazy.

Zhongying can't take it, Ren Zhonglun is willing to accept it!

Shangying and Zhongying have always been at odds with each other, as long as it is not a matter of position, in the direction of making films, Shangying has the courage and is very willing to face Zhongying.

Ren Zhonglun personally flew to the capital to meet Zhang Yuanjun.

Regarding the fact that the script has been reviewed, Zhang Yuanjun will be killed if he hands it over, and the result will be different if he changes it.

Zhang Yuanjun knows that to shoot this type of film, there must be a national film studio to participate, otherwise he will not be able to find the door to enter even if he has a big bag.

Ren Zhonglun did not search, and immediately promised an investment of at least 20 million.

On the other hand, after Huayi is out, there are few companies that can compete for investment.

The production team took a fancy to the wronged big head Orange Sky Entertainment.

As I said before, Wu Kebo is very willing to spend money, as long as you are willing to take him to play, he wants people to give people, and he wants money to give money.

In order to impress Zhang Yuanjun, Wu Kebo opened his mouth to 40 million, but as long as 1/3 of the "Source Code" was shared.

Who is the other one who is not bad for money?

It's starry!

Lu Zheng doesn't care whether Jing Tian is suitable or not, when he sees the Sino-US co-production, he wants to stuff Jing Tian into the crew, and he has to play the heroine Chen Li, and the opening is 5 million, US dollars!

Zhang Yuanjun still doesn't know where the starry light came from so much money.

"Source Code" was only separated by a Cannes Film Festival from the crowd to the crowd.

This made the production team, who had been a grandson before, really angry.

After the production team and investors worked together, Zhang Yuanjun took the screenwriting team to change the script in the magic capital.

At present, there are a total of 9 bus lines in the magic capital, and Zhang Yuanjun plans to think about how to change the script after taking these 9 lines.

But the next day, when he took Line 2, he determined that the story of "Source Code" could be placed on Line 2 of the Modu Metro.

If you want to blow up, blow up the JM building in Lujiazui!

Zhang Yuanjun took the screenwriters to immediately retreat and change the script, and the director Wuer Fan took people to look at the shores of Line 2, determine the framing, and apply for the venue from the government and the subway operating company.

The special effects team also rushed from the capital to the magic capital to start painting the urban streetscapes needed for green screen shooting.

The art and scenery arrived in Shanghai the next day, and they settled in the studio and began to plan the interior scenery of the studio.

Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

On the last Wednesday of May, Zhang Yuanjun went out of the customs and handed over the final script to Shangying, and its producer looked at it first and said, "Just code the actors like this, no problem." ”

"Can you pass the trial? I'm going to blow up the JM Tower. ”

The person who came laughed: "This is what the group is worried about, you hurry up and choose actors, time is very tight." ”

Your fan has already started to choose actors.

Some of the sci-fi films co-produced by China and the United States are wanted to be released, so the casting will not be made public.

The generous Orange Sky showed all his subordinates - in fact, most of them are still Wang Jinghua's artists - to your fan.

The casting team was so tired that their waists were about to break.

There are many beautiful actresses in Orange Sky, and they all want to be in the play, but why did the casting team choose you? It depends on your sincerity.

Although I know that this is only the first round of selection, the real decision is in the hands of the production team composed of Zhang Yuanjun, Shangying, and Orange Sky.

But if you can't pass the primary selection of the director group, what else will you talk about.

Therefore, Wu'er Fan and others have worked so hard in the past few days that their waists and eyes are sore, and they brewed wolfberry codonopsis tea on a hot day.

Then the casting team announced a requirement: "Actresses under 170 in height are eliminated." ”

The actor under 170 was so angry that he cursed in his heart: "Bai slept with him!" ***! ”

This is really not the casting team deliberately making things difficult, Zhang Yuanjun is too tall, and actresses under 170 are very ugly to play with him.

After Zhang Yuanjun was released, the director team reported the results of the primary election to him, and there were several actresses above 170 in Orange Sky.

"Do you have to be in the Orange Choice?"

"Take people's money, choose. If we don't choose, we'll look for it from the outside, and then we will have an explanation for Orange Sky. ”

"Okay." Zhang Yuanjun is a little "ignorant", and he still wants to choose his own actors after taking Orange Sky's money.

Zhang Yuanjun took the actor's information back to the hotel room.

β€œsurprise!” Liu Yifei jumped on Zhang Yuanjun.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yuanjun hugged his girlfriend and held his buttocks.

"I'm fine in the capital, I'm here to accompany you." Liu Yifei said.

"You don't have to go on tour."

"I came back the day before yesterday, and the next one will be in half a month." Liu Yifei got off her boyfriend, "Is this your casting information?" Let me see. ”

Liu Yifei snatched the information in Zhang Yuanjun's hand and looked at it.

"Look slowly, I took a shower, had a day's meeting, and was exhausted."

Zhang Yuanjun was taking a bath in the bathroom, but Liu Yifei was fascinated by this thick pile of actor information.

It's true that she came to accompany her boyfriend, but she didn't come over when she had nothing to do in the capital as she said.

She was worried that Zhang Yuanjun would do something sorry for her, and the director team of Wu'er Fan spent all day drinking to coax actresses in the magic capital, and she knew about it for a long time.

At first, she felt that she should believe Zhang Yuanjun, she knew Zhang Yuanjun and knew that he was not a fun-loving person.

But after a few days, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, Yanagishita Megumi didn't mess up, but Yanagishita Megumi didn't push the woman away.

The cheapness of sending it to the door will be taken advantage of.

Liu Yifei immediately packed her luggage and rushed to the magic capital, and under the cover of Xiao Zhao, she successfully entered Zhang Yuanjun's room.

It was late, and Zhang Yuanjun planned to fall asleep with his girlfriend in his arms after taking a shower.

But his girlfriend's hand under the quilt is dishonestly touching.

"Sissi, it's late, I've had a meeting for the day, and I'm very tired." Zhang Yuanjun really wants to sleep, "There will be an audition tomorrow." ”

"My aunt is gone, and you don't compensate me."

"Tomorrow."

Liu Yifei patted Zhang Yuanjun's chest: "Didn't you say that you are talented, didn't you wait for my aunt to leave and I couldn't get out of bed, you were so bragging at the time." ”

"Hey, you little girl, uncle won't do you well today, you don't know who your uncle's surname is!" Zhang Yuanjun turned over and pressed his girlfriend, Liu Yifei's hands were clamped by Zhang Yuanjun, "I feel sorry for you, and I am reluctant to toss you." ”

"Hahahaha!" Feeling her boyfriend's toughness and heat, Liu Yifei provoked him, "Don't brag!" If you can't do it, don't have the surname Zhang, take my surname!

"Ahh Hahahaha! ”
