Chapter Eighty-Three: Casting
No, it is!
Jiang Nan really wanted to sign Liu Yifei!
Lao Liu now belongs to Red Star Wood Entertainment.
The person in charge of this company is Huang Bing.
is the director of the movie version of "Why Sheng Xiaomo", Huang Bing.
can win the cake of "The King of Kung Fu", the strong recommendation of Huayi Brothers definitely accounts for a big reason!
The press release reported: Liu Yifei won a successful audition with a classical image and a fluent foundation in English, and was immediately recognized by American directors and producers.
The problem is that no one recommends it, and it is useless to have a classical image!
But now Huayi is full of talents, Zhou Gongzi, Li Lianhua, and even Lin Ziwei are not vegetarians.
From this point of view, how many resources can Lao Liu share even if he enters Huayi?
This is Jiang Nan's advantage!
Of course, the planning of the "Painted Skin" trilogy is just a concept, Shen Mengxi himself has not written all the scripts, Jiang Nan took it over and used it as the basis for poaching people by himself...
If Shen Mengxi knew about this, it is estimated that he would just throw his hands and leave!
Also, Ren Laoliu is now aiming at Hollywood, and the world may not look down on the so-called mainland market, and it is useless.
......
The rookie actor recommended by Zhang Hanyun is, of course, Zhao Liying!
The two are of the same age and have similar interests and hobbies, and when they learned that Zhao Liying was released by the company and belonged to the category that no one cared about, Zhang Hanyun recommended her to Jiang Nan.
At least Jiang Nan takes good care of his artists.
Give them the opportunity, if you don't have the opportunity, you have to create opportunities for them!
From her point of view, this is of course right, but from Shen Mengxi's point of view, it is a bit unreasonable.
Fortunately, Zhang Hanyun is more competitive, and she doesn't NG much...
And it's really hard, the action scene hangs Weiya, a hanging is a day, I never saw her complain, but when I returned to the room, I was purple and blue all over my body...
The attitude touched many crew colleagues.
However, Zhao Liying is an artist under Huayi after all, and she has signed a contract.
Jiang Nan pondered for a moment, and then asked her, "How many years have you signed with Hua Yi?"
"Three years..."
"Who's your artist director?"
"Guo Hongbo!"
“... Okay, I know, you can act with peace of mind, don't go to Huayi in the future, follow me!"
As soon as he heard the name, Jiang Nan understood.
Zhao Liying is really a pure newcomer with nothing!
Huayi's internal artist management is now in a customized mode.
Divide the stars into several groups, and each group has a big agent to take over the work and position themselves. The company gives a certain investment and recovers the corresponding profits.
The most famous is Zong Shuai's group, which has Deng Chao, Zhang Hanyu, and Wang Baoqiang, but unfortunately can't tear Liu Tao...
The problem is that these are all artists who have already become famous, so they have the opportunity to join the group, and newcomers generally have no resources and are not very valued.
Jiang Nan knows these very well, so she is sure to poach Zhao Liying.
Zhao Liying hurriedly nodded: "Thank you, Sister Nan..."
"The little things... By the way, what about you Shen producers?"
"The producer seems to have gone to South Korea..."
"South Korea?"
......
Shen Mengxi's visit to South Korea this time can be said to have made sufficient preparations.
There are also two people from the writers' studio, and they have two versions of "The Temptation of the Wife" in their hands, one version is one hundred episodes, and the other is one hundred and fifty episodes...
It depends on the market!
If the ratings are high, the script of 150 episodes will be activated immediately...
Not only that, but he also brought two horror film scripts of "Hide and Seek" and "Death Test"...
"Hide and Seek", a thriller about the evil buried deep among ordinary people, is based on a true event: a man who lives alone finds that the food in his house is always inexplicably reduced, which is a little strange, so he applies to see the surveillance footage, and then discovers that a woman has entered his house through a vent.
And it will mark the door how many people you have in your house, whether it is a man or a woman, an adult or a child, etc...
It's chilling to think about!
To put it simply: the story of the living man entering the house and the dove occupying the magpie's nest!
This story doesn't need much investment, it can be filmed at most 3 billion won, and Xijie Entertainment immediately asked for the script and decided to direct Xu Zheng...
Of course, this time, Shen Mengxi's Mengxi Studio also participated in the investment, accounting for one-third of the investment.
"Death in the Exam", the story is simpler, and the murder caused by the test score...
School horror movies are very popular in South Korea, "The Strange Tale of the High School", "The Teacher's Favor", "Pen Fairy", and "Anatomy Classroom" are all horror stories that happen in schools!
Because this kind of movie is easy to make, most of the actors found are newcomers and cheap.
The most important thing is that the box office is stable, as long as the plot is passing, the actors are performing well, and the 2 million moviegoers are proper!
So, this movie was also arranged...
It's just that Xu Zheng lacks skills and needs to find a new director, which is not a thing, Xijie Entertainment accounts for one-third of the Korean entertainment territory, and there are connections and resources.
In addition to selling scripts and participating in cooperation when Shen Mengxi came to South Korea, the most important thing is the casting of "The Temptation of Wife".
As for the publicity work of "Rose Flower Red Lotus", it is mainly carried out by actors, and he does not need to show his face - after all, he is Chinese!
If Shen Mengxi is an American, then he must be involved in propaganda...
At this time, he was on his way to SBS TV with the studio's screenwriters No. 1 and No. 2.
The two followed Shen Mengxi and received warm hospitality in the past few days!
It is said that a multiplayer game was played!
No. 1 touched his nose and couldn't help but sigh: "South Korea is serious and enthusiastic!"
“... It's called enthusiasm to arrange a woman for you?"
“... Leg... Long legs!"
Shen Mengxi was speechless, he looked down on these two goods, he had never seen the world!
"By the way, you two stay and participate in staring at the crew, don't mess around, if you need to tell the translator, don't accept the invitation casually!"
"What's wrong? Are you afraid they'll kidnap us?"
"Kidnapping is all hours, be careful when you are on TV!"
"TV?"
Shen Mengxi was helpless and called the translator: "Renhou, you tell them!"
Xu Renhou popularized the 'tragic incident in the Korean entertainment industry', and added by the way: "South Korea's candid shooting technology is very powerful, be careful that you become the protagonist of a small video!"
No. 1 and No. 2 were taken aback: "We must be honest!"
When I arrived at SBS, I entered the office and immediately a staff member came over: "Mr. Shen, this is the audition list... You've seen it..."
No. 1 came to the rescue: "Is there Jun Ji-hyun?"
No. 2 also added: "Is there a Han Jiaren?"
Shen Mengxi was speechless: "Where do you two want to go, this is a daily drama, not a weekend drama, do they need to act in this kind of drama?"
Japanese dramas do not have a high status in South Korea, they are only a little better than morning dramas, and the plot is extremely bloody!
And SBS doesn't pay much attention to Japanese dramas, and in 2018, it even cut this drama!
The overlord of Japanese dramas has always been KBS, and "Funny Family" and "Come on! Kim Soon" are all broadcast on KBS...
This is also the reason why SBS immediately decided to shoot after receiving "The Temptation of a Wife" - it could not receive a high-quality script.
Of course, this is also the reason why there are no well-known stars joining...
