Chapter 212: Three million second-tier actors? Are you kidding!

In such a moment.

There was a dead silence in the conference room.

Although Wang Mo had long known that Hao Mingxing's kung fu was very deep, and he had seen him shoot twice, at this moment, when he saw the other party punch through the thick conference table with one punch, his heart was still turbulent.

Looking at Chen Jia again, he is already stupid.

Just stared at the hole in the table, and didn't come back to his senses.

However, Wang Mo quickly calmed down and looked at Hao Mingxing: "Brother Xing, your kung fu is really exquisite." ”

Hao Mingxing smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not as terrifying as you think." If you look at the section, it's easy to see that this kind of conference table is made of fast-growing fir from the south. Although it is claimed to be a solid wood table, the hardness of cedar is actually not very high. As long as you have a few years of kung fu practitioners, it is not very difficult to interrupt it. ”

"Really?"

Wang Mo listened to Hao Mingxing's lightness, and tried to punch the table with a fist.

"Bang!"

"Ah!!h

The first sound is the contact between a fist and a table.

The second sound was Wang Mo's scream.

Looking at the immovable desktop and his red and swollen fists, Wang Mo almost vomited blood, do you call this not hard?

It was his screams that finally brought Chen Jia back to his senses.

"This ...... This ......"

"Is this still human?"

"Monsters?"

Chen Jia muttered to himself and looked up at Hao Mingxing, his face was full of incredulity, and the shock in his pupils seemed to be able to drown the world.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't have imagined that someone could punch a solid wood conference table through.

He reached out and felt the hole in the crack in the conference table, making sure it was solid wood.

He touched Hao Mingxing's right fist again, and was sure that it was flesh and blood.

After looking at Hao Mingxing for a long time with an expression of looking at a monster, Chen Jiacai asked cautiously, "...... What kind of punch is this? ”

"Inch fist."

Hao Mingxing's words were concise and to the point.

Chen Jia didn't understand what an inch fist was, but he became excited.

Because of Hao Mingxing's kung fu, he was almost unheard of.

Several kung fu stars he had seen in the crew before were like toddler babies in front of Hao Mingxing, childish and ridiculous.

Kung fu movies, the core is the starring role!

When Chen Jia read the script of "Jingwu Heroes" just now, he couldn't see much, although he felt that the script was very professional and detailed, but the content could only be regarded as ordinary, and there was not much surprising about it.

But seeing Hao Mingxing's strength at this moment, and then substituting the other party's strength into the protagonist of "Jingwu Heroes", Chen Jia's eyes lit up suddenly.

"With Hao Mingxing's strength, if you come to play Chen Zhen, it's perfect!"

Chen Jia burst into tears with excitement, and his heart became warm.

Originally, he thought that this movie would not have much to see at all, even if Wang Mo was serious, but the final shooting result was not ideal.

But at this moment, with Hao Mingxing as the perfect protagonist, and a few actors with a little kung fu background to participate, then this kung fu movie may really have a certain trick.

It was Hao Mingxing and Chen Jia's words.

Slightly stunned.

Playing Chen Zhen?

What do you mean?

Hao Mingxing looked at Wang Mo with doubts in his eyes.

Wang Mo said to Hao Mingxing at this time: "Brother Xing, do you have any ideas for acting in movies?" ”

Hao Mingxing was stunned for a moment before asking: "Acting in a movie?" ”

Wang Mo nodded: "Yes, I wrote a movie script for a kung fu movie, and I am going to invite you to be the leading actor, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

When Hao Mingxing heard this, his face showed embarrassment: "Brother Mo, I don't have the idea of being an actor, and I haven't studied acting, I'm afraid I can't." ”

Regarding Hao Mingxing's words, Wang Mo was not surprised.

After all, he had long known that Hao Mingxing's heart was all about singing, and he was not interested in other work.

Wang Mo didn't advise, just handed the script to Hao Mingxing: "You read the script first, if you are interested, you can come to shoot, if you are not interested, it doesn't matter." ”

Hao Mingxing nodded and took the script.

But after just a few glances, his brows furrowed: "Brother Mo, this is a kung fu movie about fighting with little devils?" ”

Wang Mo said: "That's right, the background of the movie takes place during the Republic of China, and the content is mainly: the invasion of island countries, calling us the 'sick man of East Asia', and repeatedly provoking China in martial arts." The movie is the story of the protagonist Chen Zhen promoting Chinese martial arts and defeating the conspiracy of the island country. ”

Hao Mingxing's eyes became extremely serious.

He took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "This movie, I took it!" ”

But soon.

Hao Mingxing hesitated again: "However, I don't know how to film, and I have never learned acting." ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Next to him, Chen Jia was already excited when he heard Hao Mingxing agree to appear in the movie, and when he heard Hao Mingxing's words at this moment, he hurriedly said: "You have such kung fu in your body, there is no need to deliberately learn acting skills, but it will be inferior." You just have to show your true self and be a little more restrained when shooting...... No, just half of the convergence. ”

Are you kidding!

If Hao Mingxing is allowed to play at full strength, his opponent is afraid that he will fall one with one punch.

Is an actor's head as hard as a conference table?

Probably not, right?

After the excitement.

Chen Jia suddenly sighed: "Mr. Wang, our film investment is only 20 million, Hao Mingxing is a first-line singer, even if he has never made a movie, but the salary will not be low, right?" ”

Wang Mo hadn't spoken yet.

Hao Mingxing shook his head and said, "I don't want to be paid." ”

Chen Jia: "How can this work?" ”

Wang Mo smiled: "Brother Xing, I really can't afford your salary." But I have a plan for a long time, and I am ready to give you 10% of the movie's revenue as a salary when the time comes, don't dislike it. ”

Hao Mingxing nodded: "But it's up to Brother Mo to arrange." ”

Beside.

Chen Jia's belly: 10% of the movie's revenue should be used as a salary? What's the difference between this and not giving?

Although he has decided to make this movie seriously at this moment, he still doesn't have much expectation in his heart.

After all, it is a question whether this movie can be released at that time. And even if there is a chance to be released, it is estimated that he will not be able to get the film schedule in the theater, so he can only resign himself to fate.

So when he heard Wang Mo say that the proceeds of the movie were used as remuneration, Chen Jia felt ridiculous in his heart.

OK...... Hao Mingxing looks very deceitful.

Otherwise, if you change to another person, when you hear Wang Mo's words, you are afraid that you will throw your face and leave.

……

Suppress these thoughts.

After knowing Hao Mingxing's strength and that he would be the protagonist of the movie, Chen Jia's inner enthusiasm seemed to be fully opened in an instant.

From the reluctance at the beginning, it has become active now, and there is even a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

He can't wait to know what kind of amazing performance a real-life kung fu master like Hao Mingxing can have in kung fu movies.

Only half a day passed.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jia brought a man in his early thirties to Wang Mo: "Mr. Wang, this is Chai Qing, the director of the company I told you before who has experience in shooting kung fu movies. ”

Chai Qing looks like he is in his early sevens, not very tall, and his figure is slightly thin, but his eyes are very bright.

In the company information that Wang Mo looked through, Chai Qing's popularity in the director circle was not very high. Just directed two small production films. The kung fu movies he directed before were only a small part of the fights.

But Wang Mo didn't mind.

After all, he also knew that he was already very lucky to be able to let Chen Jia help him.

It is almost impossible to have another famous director direct a film.

After Chen Jia's introduction, Chai Qing took the initiative to take a step forward: "Mr. Wang, hello." ”

Because Chen Jia had given Chai Qing a preventive injection before coming, Chai Qing did not show any gaffe at the first glance when he saw Wang Mo.

"Hello."

Wang Mo went straight to the topic: "For the movie "Jingwu Heroes", if you are the director, how should you shoot it? ”

Chai Qing was prepared early in the morning: "At present, most of the kung fu movies in China are under the guise of kung fu films, either love dramas or special effects dramas. But I think that in a real kung fu movie, the actor can't be a half-ass, he must have real kung fu. Mr. Wang, this is especially true of your "Jingwu Heroes", because the script is centered on duels from front to back, so the selection of actors is even more important. So if I'm going to shoot, first of all, I have to turn off the actors, and secondly, I have to focus 80% on the duel. I summarized the following points:

First: there is real kung fu.

Second: Be mentally prepared for injury.

Third: the special effects cannot exceed 10%.

Fourth: You can't use stand-ins, you must really fight in the whole game.

Only by fulfilling these requirements can a real kung fu film be made. ”

Wang Mo thought so.

Nowadays, many actors in kung fu movies don't know kung fu at all, and their bodies are delicate, so they use stand-ins when they encounter difficulties, and in the later stage, special effects are flying all over the sky, so it's no wonder that such movies can be made so that the audience likes them.

After listening to Chai Qing's words for a while, Wang Mo already had a certain recognition of this director in his heart. Although he doesn't know the level of the other party's directing for the time being, at least the theoretical knowledge is sufficient, and the directing concept is in line with Wang Mo's ideas.

As for the level of directing, Wang Mo is not worried, anyway, he is the producer next to him.

So, the director decided like this.

The next step is the selection of actors.

Chen Jia did not intervene.

In terms of choosing roles, the director still knows what kind of actors he needs best.

Chai Qing said seriously: "The investment in this movie is only 20 million, so we definitely can't find well-known actors." can only start with some actors who are not famous. Mr. Chen told me about Hao Mingxing, and now that the starring role has been decided, it can be regarded as solving the biggest problem of the movie.

In addition to the starring roles, there are several important roles in the movie: Huo Tingen, Mitsuko Yamada, Tsuyoshi Fujita, Fumio Funakoshi.

Among these people, except for Mitsuko Yamada, the others must have real kung fu.

But the slightly famous kung fu actors' quotations are not low, and the funds are completely insufficient. Unless we completely abandon the fame of the actor and enable the newcomer. ”

Wang Mo said without hesitation: "It's okay, just use newcomers!" ”

Chai Qing hesitated slightly: "Although the leading actor Hao Mingxing is a first-line singer, he is not famous in the film and television industry. If the other supporting characters are all newcomers, then the movie is a completely new team. Mr. Wang, are you sure you want to do this? My suggestion is that there must be at least one well-known actor in the movie to advertise with the fame of the other party, otherwise it will be difficult to promote after the follow-up movie comes out. ”

Wang Mo knew that what Chai Qing said was very pertinent.

But where does he get so much salary to hire well-known actors?

If an actor takes up too much of his salary, it will inevitably compress the cost of the rest of the film, resulting in a poor finished product.

I thought about it.

Wang Mo said: "That's it, Mitsuko Yamada is the heroine in the movie, you see if there is a way to invite a second-tier actress to participate in this role." Using well-known actresses for publicity will also be more effective. As for the salary, it cannot exceed three million. More than I didn't say. ”

Million......

Chai Qing smiled bitterly.

Mr. Wang, don't you know the value of actors in the entertainment industry today?

At every turn, it is 100 million yuan.

Three million, let alone invite second-tier actors, it is difficult to invite even third- and fourth-tier actors.

Even many Internet celebrities went to make movies, and they all offered tens of millions of sky-high prices!

But when Wang Mo said this, he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”
