SCT-Novel Chapter 552 What?
Chapter 552 What?
Since he had come to visit the set of "The Murderer", he naturally couldn't miss "Hidden in the Dust".
After leaving Hengdian, Chen Fei and Ning Hao said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.
Ning Hao had to go back to the capital to follow up on the post-production of "The Tomb of the Ghost Blowing Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue". This movie was too important, and he really didn't feel comfortable handing it over to others.
Chen Fei took a plane and went straight to the crew of "Hidden in the Dust".
After landing at the airport, he contacted the crew and then embarked on a difficult journey.
First by car, then by donkey cart, and finally by motorcycle...
After a lot of trouble, he finally arrived at the crew of "Hidden in the Dust" which was being filmed in a small mountain village, and met Shen Ao, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Yan Ni and others.
"Wow? Why are they all so tanned?"
Looking at the dark-skinned people in front of him, Chen Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes, almost thinking that he had recognized the wrong person.
Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed and asked, "After all, he plays a farmer. Have you ever seen a farmer who works in the fields all day with delicate skin and tender flesh?"
"That's true."
Fade Chen reacted quickly, his eyes stayed on Yan Ni for a moment, and quickly gave a high evaluation: "Based on your current skin color, you are definitely worthy of a nomination for Best Actress."
Hearing this, Yan Ni's eyes lit up immediately.
This guy can also take a joke, and immediately agreed: "That's what you said! If there is no nomination for Best Actress, I will expose you to the media for fooling people."
For a while, everyone was laughing.
Afterwards, Fei Chen followed Tian Zhuangzhuang to visit the current filming location of the crew.
It's really poor!
It can't even afford to build a road, which shows how remote and poor this place is.
Fade Chen vaguely remembered that not long after watching the movie "Hidden in the Dust" in his previous life, the movie was completely removed from the shelves.
Netizens said that capital could not accommodate this movie, but he could not figure out why it could not accommodate it.
After entering the film and television industry in this life, he recalled the content of this movie again, and suddenly he had a deeper understanding.
Social background and environment, suffering, humbleness, dependence, fate, fetters, helplessness...
This story is unfortunate, the characters are suffering, and the ending is also sad.
This is reality, but it is also a reality that many people are unwilling to bear, unwilling to see, and unwilling to show.
Everyone was walking in the fields. At this time, Shen Ao suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the distance: "Director Chen, look, there is a river here."
Chen Fei was slightly startled and walked forward in the direction of his finger.
The stream flows, ding-dong-dong, crisp and pleasant, and the sound of frogs rang out.
This is the mother river on which the whole village depends for survival, it is their hope, but it is the final destination of "Cao Guiying".
The crew still had scenes in the afternoon, so everyone returned to the set soon.
After re-applying makeup, Tian Zhuangzhuang quickly entered the state, and his temperament perfectly fit the role of "Ma Youtie".
The same is true for Yan Ni on the other side.
These are two people who have experienced all kinds of hardships. One is treated as a farmhand by his brother and sister-in-law, and the other is treated as a pig and dog by his brother and sister-in-law.
Chen Fei watched on the set for an afternoon and became more and more satisfied with Yan Ni.
The abuse from childhood to adulthood and the inhuman living environment have left him disabled, infertile, often incontinent, unable to take care of himself, and numb and dead in his heart...
Yan Ni showed the deadness in Cao Guiying's eyes very vividly, as if the living thing was just a broken body.
And Tian Zhuangzhuang's performance is even better!
He is like a pool of calm dead water, as if there will never be ripples until Cao Guiying arrives...
Before leaving the crew, Chen Fei specifically found Shen Ao and told him: "After this film is finished, you should ask Teacher Tian more in the post-production stage.
After the post-production is completed, I will contact someone to help you send this film to the Berlin Film Festival for review."
Send it to Berlin?
Shen Ao was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked: "Go for the award?"
"Yes!" Chen Fei nodded seriously: "There is a great hope of winning the award. Film it well and don't let this story be buried."
Hearing this, Shen Ao couldn't hide his excitement and quickly assured: "Director Chen, don't worry, I will never let you down, I will definitely film it well!"
"Okay."
Chen Fei patted his shoulder, turned around and got on the motorcycle that the crew rode over, and headed straight to the town 30 kilometers away.
This place, transportation is a big pain point!
…
After arriving at the filming location of "The Martian", it was already three days later.
The two crews were more remote than each other, and Chen Fei almost vomited from sitting in the car!
And Guo Fan was extremely excited about his arrival, as if he had seen a savior.
"Director Chen! You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Why are you waiting for me? What's the matter? Is there a problem with the crew's preparations? Or is there a problem with the construction of the filming location in Hongya?"
"None of them." Guo Fan shook his head and led him to the built filming scene, saying, "It's mainly a problem with the actors. Casting is too troublesome."
"The Martian" can almost be said to be a one-man show for the male lead. In view of the age requirements for astronauts, Guo Fan set an age threshold when adapting the script.
The male lead is required to be between 30 and 45 years old, physically fit, and able to endure hardships...
In fact, he had already thought about which actors to send audition invitations to when the script was reviewed.
In the adapted story, there are no longer those shady things.
The ground space agency monitoring center was already thinking about how to rescue the protagonist as soon as it discovered that the protagonist was alive.
The story has removed some inappropriate and dark aspects, and the plot completely revolves around the male protagonist's self-rescue and rescue.
The six-person Mars team is divided into four men and two women. This is the main creative team.
As for the remaining part of the earth, although there are more actors, there are fewer roles.
But now, the biggest headache for Guo Fan is the choice of the six-member Mars team and the male protagonist.
As for the earth part, it's okay. There are so many artists signed by Feiyinghuang's agency, so it's enough to bring them all over.
But the selection of the starring team was really troublesome. During this period, his mailbox was almost flooded with all kinds of resumes, which really dazzled him.
"First bring me the preliminary list of actors and let me take a look before talking."
"Okay, let's go to my office."
Guo Fan led Chen Fei straight to the office.
After getting the list, Chen Fei took a quick glance at it.
Hu Jun, Zhang Hanyu, Liu Ye, Jiang Wen, Liu Dehua, Wu Jing...
Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Sun Honglei, Fan Bingbin, Li Bingbin, Zhang Ziyi...
Looking around, almost all of them are first-tier celebrities in the industry, and the second-tier actors on the list are very rare, almost equivalent to none.
Chen Fei can understand this situation.
With a huge investment of several hundred million, you have to find some big-name stars. At the very least, you have to be well-known.
After scanning the candidates for the protagonist's team, Chen Fei moved his eyes downwards and focused on the team selection on the earth's side.
"For a role like Chen Baoguo, you don't even need to audition. You can just decide on it directly."
This actor is well-known in the industry as a veteran actor, and he has a very upright temperament. He is at least a department-level cadre if he sits there. He is perfect for playing a role like the director of the aerospace industry. .
"Okay." Guo Fan agreed without thinking.
"Huang Xiaoming... we can give him the role of an astronaut. He is of the right age, has a good temperament, and is in line with Chinese aesthetics. He will definitely be the same when wearing a space suit or a military uniform."
"Okay." Guo Fan nodded again, but then added: "He called me specifically and wanted to win a significant role for his girlfriend Yang Ying."
There are two main female characters in "The Martian". One is the captain of the Martian team. The actors have very high temperament requirements and must have the aura of a big sister.
The other one is a system operator, and the requirements are not high. There are no special restrictions on age or acting skills.
However, it is definitely not possible to give it to Yang Ying!
This woman is just ruining the role!
Chen Fei shook his head directly and said: "Forget it about her. I will give you a phone number later. You can contact her and ask her to play the role of system operator."
"Oh?" Guo Fan's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Who is it?"
"Zhao Liying."
"Your Name" is about to be released. As the second female lead in the movie, Zhao Liying will definitely become popular with this movie!
When the time comes, let her play a role in "The Martian". Not to mention hitting the front line, it will definitely be no problem to stay in the ranks of second-line actors.
"Okay, I will contact her."
They are all artists within the company. If they have suitable roles, they naturally act for their own family members. There is no reason to take advantage of outsiders.
What's more, this outsider is still Yang Ying!
…
"Zhang Yi, Liu Ye, and Wu Jing are all our own people. You can make arrangements for them."
"Then just play the astronaut, their image and temperament also match."
The two chatted for a long time and soon decided on the starring team.
Focus on your own family first. If there is really no suitable candidate, then look for it from outside.
Under this kind of operation, the actors' casting will naturally be much smoother!
"Now the only actor and heroine left have not been determined." Guo Fan secretly glanced at Chen Fei, who was thinking seriously, and suddenly said: "Director Chen, how about... just you and Yifei. "
After finishing speaking, he did not wait for Chen Fei to refuse, and explained very quickly: "After all, our film is going to be distributed globally, and the international reputation of the actors must be high enough.
Just like the previous "Gravity", if you hadn't been the male protagonist, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to achieve such excellent results abroad.
It just so happens that your image and temperament fit the bill, so let’s try not to let the spoils flow to outsiders..."
Guo Fan's remarks directly made Chen Fei fall into deep thought.
With an investment of up to 700 million, once something goes wrong, although it won't be a big deal, it will indeed have a big impact.
When it comes to popularity abroad, except for him and Liu Yifei, other Chinese actors are indeed slightly inferior.
As for the global theater market, the box office appeal of people such as Hu Jun and Zhang Hanyu is almost non-existent.
If they are allowed to star, then foreign countries can only sell the copyright, and there is no way to start a global distribution plan.
As for Jiang Wen...he might as well forget it.
Neither wanted to see "The Martian" turn into "Let Mars Fly."
However, after pondering for a moment, Chen Fei did not immediately accept the role of the male protagonist, but responded: "Let me think about it first. If I am asked to play the male protagonist, I have to consider schedule factors.
You contact other people first, and after all the other roles are finalized, let's consider the candidates for the male lead and female lead. "
"Okay, no problem, I'll do it right away."
The smile on Guo Fan's face did not diminish. As long as Chen Fei did not explicitly refuse, it meant that he still had a chance to fight for it.
He planned to contact Liu Yifei first and push forward the matter from the side.
When the "pillow wind" blows, why don't you grab it with your hands?
Guo Fan doesn't know what other netizens and media think, but in his opinion, these two people are definitely "unclean"!
If there is no special relationship, how could the "flying girl" always be Liu Yifei and not someone else?
Wang Luojue, a generation of flying girls, has now returned to China, but Liu Yifei is flying higher and higher with the help of Chen Fei, and now she is firmly ranked among the top domestic female stars...
If they had nothing to do with each other, Guo Fan would even write their names upside down!
In his opinion, even if the two people officially announced that they were engaged one day, it would not be a surprise.
Isn't this normal? Is that reasonable?
…
After leaving the crew of "The Martian", Chen Fei once again returned to the promotion of "Your Name".
He didn't attend the premiere of "Tai Chi 1" at all.
What's so good about this kind of movie? If you have time, you might as well go on a few more variety shows to promote the movie.
With the popularity of "Anti-Corruption Storm 2", the battle for the box office in August has completely begun, and major film producers can be said to be "frequently making strange moves."
[Fake drama becomes real, Miwei shows love! 】
When Chen Fei saw this title on the headlines of the entertainment network, he was stunned.
what's going on?
Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei are now together? Isn’t this year just 2012? Why did the two announce their relationship?
Is it too early? Is it another butterfly effect triggered by my own arrival?
With a lot of confusion, Chen Fei clicked on the title curiously and briefly browsed the contents.
He quickly realized that this should be a movie promotion strategy.
"Imitating Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting?"
Chen Fei curled his lips and instantly lost interest in this news.
It is common for celebrities to speculate on scandals and promote movies. For fans, this may be a major event worthy of attention.
For those in the industry, there is no need to waste time paying attention to this kind of news.
…
When she received the call from Guo Fan, Zhao Liying was stunned for a long time before she realized what she was doing.
"The Martian", an investment of 700 million, the second female lead, who has lines, and her acting role is second only to the lead female lead...
She knew each of these words individually, but when they were combined and applied to herself, Zhao Liying only felt strange.
Since leaving Huayi, she first acted in "Your Name", then went to play the third female lead in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City", and then received an invitation from the crew of "The Martian"...
What is the difference between this and soaring into the sky?
She thought for a long time and quickly came to a conclusion.
I can't leave Feiyinghuang Agency in this life, even if I die, I have to die here!
If your brain gets hot and you turn around and leave, where can you find so many high-quality movie resources?
This horse riding is all a movie resource, not a supporting role in a TV series!
If she continues to stay at Huayi, she may not be able to act in a movie if she is given another ten years, let alone such a second female role!
…
"Mimi, "Love in Seattle" is scheduled to be released!"
A piece of news suddenly brought by Zeng Jia made Yang Mi overjoyed.
During this period, the hype between her and Liu Kaiwei attracted a lot of attention and traffic to her, and the effect couldn't be better!
And now, with the good news coming from "Love in Seattle", it is simply a double happiness!
"How much has the pre-sale box office of "HOLD Live in Love" reached?"
"It has reached 18 million, and it is estimated that it will exceed 20 million soon."
Zeng Jia couldn't hide her excitement. If the popularity can continue, this "HOLD Live Love" is likely to wash away the negative impact caused by "Wu-Tang".
As an agent, she can naturally profit from it.
At this time, Yang Mi suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, didn't the company issue an announcement internally? It said that the casting of "The Martian" with an investment of 700 million yuan has begun. Please hand over my resume. Yet?"
"Well, I've already handed it over."
Mentioning this matter, the excitement on Zeng Jia's face dissipated a lot, and she frowned slightly and said: "But according to the news I heard, the role of the 'female system operator' has been confirmed to be played by Zhao Liying. This is her role." The agent disclosed it to the public.”
Hearing this, the smile and expectation on Yang Mi's face disappeared instantly: "Where is the female lead? Are you sure?"
Zeng Jia shook his head: "No news has spread yet."
She added: "By the way, there is another thing. Mr. Huo called me this morning and wanted to know what your next work arrangements are."
Yang Mi understood the meaning of this sentence.
Her agency contract was about to expire, and Huo Wenxi just wanted to find out if she wanted to renew her contract with Feiyinghuang Agency?
After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly: "I can renew the contract, but I want the female lead in "The Martian"."
This is her condition.
As her agent, Zeng Jia naturally chose to lean towards her side.
"Okay, I will reply to the company. Your request is very reasonable. We definitely deserve the role of a leading female investor."
Zeng Jia is very confident.
Upcoming movies such as "Famous 2", "HOLD" and "Love in Seattle" gave her sufficient confidence in negotiations.
At the same time, after watching Zeng Jia leave, Yang Mi turned on her phone, logged into WeChat, and found Guo Jingming’s contact information.
There is a new message from Guo Jingming in the dialog box.
"As long as you agree to play the role of 'Lin Xiao', you can count on your share of the film investment and enjoy a share of the box office."
Yang Mi smiled with satisfaction, stretched out her slender fingers, and typed: "Okay! Wait for my news!"
This is another path she has prepared for herself.
Although the early stage is likely to be bumpy, if you can stick to it, the future will definitely be a smooth road!
She is very confident!
