Chapter 8 Casting (5/6)
A large production of $500 million cannot be achieved by Lu Xiaoran just by saying a word...
What's more, there is only one script summary now, and the project has not been established yet!
So, there is no mention of investment.
MAC is initially established. Lu Xiaoran not only wants to make this organization an internal place for resource exchange, but also wants to establish industry authority. How to do this?
It's very simple. It's a microphone to be the General Administration. For example, the General Administration wants to issue a "ban order for bad artists" and so on, so that MAC can play the role of being scolded...
There are always idiots who feel that they are different...
I think policy interference is wrong...
mpac stands for the industry to wake up!
However, this needs to be discussed with Orange's D-service team and let them pass messages to the above...
Also, how to balance the relationship with the above is very difficult...
...
The film market was a bit deserted throughout March and April.
How deserted is, "The Age of Derailment" has a box office of 90 million yuan, ranking first in domestic movies...
The top three are Hollywood blockbusters: Need for Speed, Robocop, Hobbit 2…
The market in April was not much higher. Except for the 680 million box office in the volume of "Captain America 2", "Plastic Surgery Diary" ranked second with a box office of 210 million. The starring actor of "Plastic Surgery Diary" is Liu Shishi...
"Dragon Gate" was originally scheduled to be released on April 25, and another "Chinese Partner" that costs 60 million yuan will be included in the May Day...
Then postpone it until May 15th...
"Chinese Partners", Lao Cao is the starring actor for the first time!
It’s not easy for Lao Cao. After eight years of engaging in Boss Lu, he finally became the protagonist of the big production...
This is the view of the outside world, mainly the view of the classmates.
Those who know a little bit of the inside story will not say that. Lao Cao is the tenth largest individual shareholder of Orange, and the stock price in his hand is worth 500 million!
That day, Lu Xiaoran cashed out 20 million yuan and said that he wanted to play a horse farm with Uncle Yu...
He also invited Lu Liubai to play. Lu Liubai was excited to take Tangtang around and left with excitement. He returned home in disappointment and was the mini horse and could not ride it!
Of course there are also horses that can be ridden, but the location is too small, covering only 60 acres of land...
Can't run at all!
This thing is a farm stay.
There are dogs, cats and pheasants that monopolize the pheasant market around Beijing...
Back to the topic, "Chinese Partners", Wen Muno made good shots and the script was very smooth. None of the three leading actors Tong Dawei, Cao Binkun, and Chuanfeng have market appeal...
So, Orange’s expectation: 200 million box office, it would be good to recover the cost...
As a result, the first day's box office was 29 million and the first weekend's box office was 120 million...
I directly rubbed "Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth" on the ground. Unfortunately, I met Zhao Yanzi's "To Us". Her marketing was so smooth that she won 200 million box office in the first week...
No matter what, Fumikino will definitely become famous in one fell swoop.
...
In early May, Lu Xiaoran returned from Yunnan to survey the landscape.
"Operation Mekong" script is released, but it is still the undercover...
It’s not that I don’t want to practice innovation, but this path is really proven to be successful!
The script has been released and the storyboard script has been completed. Next is the actor. The main actors in "Mekong" are naturally Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu.
Fang Xinwu, about thirty years old, is handsome...
Lu Liubai wants this character!
The Venetian actor ended in person!
There is no other reason, it is to attract light and shadow groups in the early stage. According to the Big Golden Retriever, the worst thing about "Operation Mekong" is that there are too few films in the early stage and they are all the way to rely on reputation...
Lu Xiaoran's popularity is no worse than Brother Bo!
Gao Gang is easy to find, he is around forty years old, so it is best to look very decent...
Both Zhang Yi and Duan Yihong are fine...
Sun Honglei…
It's OK, his "Drug War" left a deep impression on Lu Xiaoran;
For characters like Gao Gang, there are almost no acting problems with their three roles, only depending on whether the image is in line or not.
Then who should I choose?
Let them have three positive pks, who will win and who will use?
That certainly won't work...
I don't know if they have a schedule...
After all, they are very busy.
First, I asked Lao Duan if he had time. Lao Duan said that he was filming "Dalian Story" and there was still half a month to finish the filming;
Zhang Yi... is a little busy, and has several TV series on hand, "A Woman Is Not Strong" and "Marrying a Husband to Live a Life"...
King Yan is busy filming Zhao Baogang's "Unreachable"...
Then let’s go!
The script was sent, and within five minutes, he replied with two words: "Yes."
After dealing with the main actors, the rest will be left to Chen Zhixi.
By the way, there is also a dog. This time, you have to use a professional police dog, and your acting skills are better than those of a young man!
Just as he was about to let Chen Zhixi come over, he rang on WeChat and it was a message from Zhang Yi: "When will "Dear Child" be filmed?"
Damn it!
How did you forget this drama?
...
"Dear Child" is a movie about anti-trafficking. As early as 10 years ago, when Tangtang and Lu Xiaoran were chatting, they talked about human traffickers, and then Teacher Lu made up his mind to make a work.
Later, when filming "Search", Lu Xiaoran handed the script to Zhang Yi...
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye!
The project has not yet been launched...
Is it because Lu Xiaoran has no time?
No, it was the author who forgot...
After thinking about it, he replied: "Wait until I finish filming "Mekong" and start "Dear Kid" immediately..."
"Okay, I'll leave you half a year!"
"…Thanks."
Why give the script to Zhang Yi first? The original words of the Golden Retriever: "Zhang Yi is so arrogant inside, her acting skills beat Huang Bo, Zhao Yanzi, Tong Dawei, Hao Lei... directly turned "Dear" into his own representative work!"
Is it so magical?
The protagonists of "Dear" are Huang Bo and Zhao Yanzi, so why has they become Zhang Yi's representative work?
Director Lu was also a little itchy. He wanted to see the existence of beating Huang Bo...
I just made up the role of "Dear" too, Zhang Yi, Huang Bo, Hao Lei, Tong Dawei, and there is still a heroine left...
Chen Kexin chose Zhao Yanzi back then. In addition to thinking that Zhao Yanzi was worthy of the lineup, you could not choose four of them, and then add Yang Tianbao or Yang Xiaomi!
This actor must be a powerful actor and can play a rural woman!
Director Lu thought about it carefully, then called Yan Bingyan...
Yan Bingyan is the Cannes Best Actress, and she has enough weight!
In the morning, I stayed in the office and roughly confirmed the major actors, producers and lighting photography. When I finished my work, he got up and it was rare that his waist was a little sore...
Damn, I'm only 31 years old, so do I have to get a supplement?
He was responsible for the table and twisted his waist. He still had to restore his fitness habits. It is said that after a man was thirty, his hormone secretion would decrease...
“…Hey, are you actually in the company?”
Zhong Lifang pushed open the door with a surprised expression.
"I've been there all the time, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, have lunch together?"
Chapter completed!
