Chapter 350: Changing Roles, Zhao Liying

Yue Jun is almost in charge of all matters related to Shanhai Media.

Only when Lin Nan has resources that he wants to arrange, will he ask about the announcements of several artists from Yue Jun.

The script of "The Loyal Yue Fei" is really good, and it completely positively portrays the image of Yue Fei, a national hero with flesh and blood.

There are many producers this time, and the investment and production team are not small, meeting all the prerequisites for a high-quality TV series.

"Is her schedule full?"

"Yes, Yang Mi's schedule has been full in the past six months, and Zeng Jia has reported to me." Yue Jun nodded and said.

Hearing this, Lin Nan didn't ask any more questions, but was a little emotional.

He knew that among the artists, Yang Mi was the most ambitious, and this was the case when she was in Rong Xinda. Later, when she signed with Shanhai Media, she brought her agent with her, which shows that she has her own ideas.

Perhaps in Yang Mi's eyes, Lin Nan's film resources may be secondary, and having this backer is the most important. It can give her a greater advantage when competing for resources in the circle.

"Where is Zhao Liying?" Lin Nan asked again.

"She is still in the crew of "The Four", and there is no future filming offer for the time being. After all, she has just signed with the company for less than four months."

After Yue Jun said this, she already had a guess in her heart. What a lucky girl.

"Go ask them about the time of filming. I think it should be soon..."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Lin Nan flipped through the script yesterday and finally decided to keep the role of the female lead.

Although this is a man's play, the role of Yue Fei's wife has a lot of scenes and is quite important.

Dilraba is a newcomer and will definitely not be able to support it. Besides, her appearance is not right. Yang Mi is not available.

Then let Zhao Liying play it, which is also suitable.

…………

"Starry Star" was released for 20 days, and the total box office reached 450 million, and the daily box office completely fell below 5 million.

The entire film and television industry has cast its eyes on it. This box office result is simply enviable.

In addition, whether the new record of domestic art films will be fixed at 400 million or 500 million depends on the last ten days of the release of "Starry Star".

Lin Nan found some time to watch Overheard 2, which is indeed a very good Hong Kong film.

I heard that the box office has been reported to be 125 million since its release ten days ago, and it seems that it can reach 200 million.

But Lin Nan doesn't quite understand one behavior. Mainland movies usually hold celebration banquets after they are off the screen or about to be off the screen.

But it's different in Hong Kong Island. They are just a few days after the movie is released. Seeing that the box office has a good momentum, they immediately start to hold celebration parties.

"Overheard 2" is like this. At the reception, they even shouted the slogan of sprinting to 300 million box office.

But too many examples of Hong Kong films tell us that it is really unwise to celebrate too early. The result may be counterproductive and too happy!

Regardless of whether it is metaphysical or not, Lin Nan thinks that the goal of 300 million is a bit unrealistic...

…………

China Film Digital Production Base.

The shooting of special effects shots in the green screen studio is in progress.

Liu Dehua is wearing a space suit, with a wire height of half a meter, his body parallel to the ground, and one hand holding the door of the spacecraft.

He was going to act out the scene of being pulled back by a huge suction force and trying desperately to save himself.

Reba and Lei Jiayin were a little shocked to see Liu Dehua "acting awkwardly" without props.

"It's really awkward to watch now, but with the special effects in the later stage, the shots will definitely be great!"

Lin Nan smiled and explained that it's not easy to perform well without props.

At least the facial expressions have to be natural and not too fake, and the body movements have to be reasonable.

"Cut!"

As Lin Nan's voice fell, this scene was passed.

"Director Lin, you are too cruel, aren't you?

We're going to attend the Huabiao Awards Closing Ceremony, just one afternoon and one evening, do we need to rush to shoot and squeeze out time?

Zhou Xun pouted and complained.

"What you said, I thought you were going to receive the award? Are you here this time? Aren't we all guests? "

Lin Nan laughed and teased, which directly made Zhou Xun stuck. There really was no award for her.

The year before last, the Huabiao Awards invited all billion-dollar directors to attend.

But Lin Nan ran away to Hollywood to find Liu Yifei in advance, and then went to the Venice Film Festival together.

That time, the public opinion was terrible, and kept finding fault with him. But even so, Huabiao still gave Lin Nan the Outstanding Director Contribution Award.

This year, the higher-ups invited him to be a guest again, and he was embarrassed to refuse again.

"Alas, I thought the filming could be postponed later."

"I was thinking about finishing it early! When I made the plan, I didn't consider these unexpected factors. "

Lin Nan shook his head, a little bit laughing and crying. Because this kind of thing delayed the progress of filming, it was a bit of an exaggeration.

…………

"Four Famous Detectives" crew.

It has been three months since the start of filming.

This is the first time Zhao Liying has played the leading role in a movie, and it is also the first time to partner with so many famous actors. It has gained a lot.

During the break, Yue Jun called.

"Director Yue, you are looking for me? ”

Although I went to a secluded corner to answer the phone, many people still noticed this place.

"Liying, how is the filming of "The Four" going? Is there an estimated time for the filming to be completed?

The company has invested in a TV series. If the time is right, you will play the leading female role..."

Hearing this, Zhao Liying's eyes widened instantly, "The plot is almost over. The director said it will be completed at the beginning of next month at the latest..."

Zhao Liying's voice became louder unconsciously, and many people in the crew heard it.

…

When they hung up the phone and returned to the crowd, everyone looked at Zhao Liying.

"Liying, look at you like this. We haven't finished filming yet, but we have a new drama?"

Deng Chao looked at the girl in front of him who was unknown before and is now an artist of Shanhai Media and said jokingly.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing.

"Well, Brother Chao guessed it right. The company has indeed arranged a new drama for me. This will be it after "Four Famous Catchers" is completed."

Jiang Yiyan walked over from the side and sat next to Deng Chao, "Congratulations to you, I think the role will be good."

Zhao Liying responded with a smile. After she joined the group, Jiang Yiyan intentionally got close to her.

Zhao Liying knew that these were Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's former classmates. I heard Jiang Yiyan say that their classmates have a good relationship, but I don't know if it's true or not.

But in Zhao Liying's eyes, Jiang Yiyan is a bit, how should I put it?

Well, I can get along well with actors and actresses, starring in...

…………

The movie market suddenly became chaotic and noisy again.

Because after "Captain America" ​​and "Norwegian Wood", there are five more imported films that have been temporarily scheduled for September.

"The Mechanic", "Uncle", "Rush", "Arthur's Kingdom 3"...

This makes many domestic films, especially those with small and medium budgets, completely unacceptable.

The promotion of several domestic blockbusters has become more grand, giving people the impression of being ready to suppress imported films at any time.

Lin Nan called Wang Changtian on the set and asked him to take the lead female role in "Jing Zhong Yue Fei".

"Well, I knew you wanted this role as soon as I guessed it. I will tell others about it later, and I will also say hello to the crew."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Wang."

"You're welcome, just remember to come on time for the premiere and don't go to the wrong place."

"Hahaha……"

…………

Feng Xiaogang prepared the movie "1942" for several months, but the script was rejected by the film bureau.

The reason given is that the content is too dark and too straightforward, and is likely to cause discomfort to the audience...

To be honest, this reason is a bit too forced.

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Xiaogangpao spoke, "The current film censorship system is greatly 'hurting and constraining' film creation, calling for the restoration of the loose literary and artistic policies of the 1980s..."

Feng Xiaogang was quite restrained at first, but in the end he just started firing.

Frankly speaking, the people responsible for censorship are all laymen, either "experts" of this unit or "leaders" of that organization, and most of them have never been engaged in film production.

"One by one, the films submitted for review are misinterpreted, have excessive negative associations, and even make groundless speculations about the original intentions of the creators. There is an endless stream of phenomena of being slapped with a stick and blamed. Instead of doing business, they only know how to cause trouble and delay..."

This statement was immediately supported by a large number of insiders.

Lin Nan saw Ning Hao's movements at a glance. This guy forwarded Feng Xiaogang's post and even wrote a short essay in a weird way!

"Well, I'm just slippery, haha..."

…………

Liu Yifei also received an invitation from Huabiao.

This is equivalent to saying that "Passengers" will have four people, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xun.

Lei Jiayin and Reba are not qualified enough, so they can only be given half a day off.

…………

Hengdian Film and Television City, the crew of "Xuanyuan Sword".

Cai Yinong called Liu Shishi aside alone.

"This drama will be finished soon. I have found connections to contact you for another big-budget historical drama, and you will play the second female lead."

Liu Shishi nodded, "What historical drama?"

"In "Jing Zhong Yue Fei", I originally wanted to ask the first female lead, but who knew there were so many things in it! It is not easy to get the second female lead."

Cai Yinong thought of something and smiled bitterly.

Without waiting for Liu Shishi to ask, Cai Yinong continued to add:

"The male lead is played by Huang Xiaoming. Hong Kong director Tong Kee-li wanted to recommend Lin Xinru to play the female lead. Originally, the crew had promised it, but guess what?"

"How?" Liu Shishi asked doubtfully.

"Several investors from the mainland rejected it and replaced it with Director Lin's person, Zhao Liying, who only signed the contract in April..."

After Cai Yinong finished speaking, he felt a little bitter, and so did Liu Shishi.

All said and done, the Tang Dynasty was still too weak, so they could only win the second female lead, and they used favors.

The reality in the industry is so naked.

The actress, who was originally unknown, has been starring in one movie after another since she signed with Shanhai Media, and all of them are female leads!

"That's it. It will be announced over there soon, so be prepared."

Cai Yinong sighed and reminded.

"Well, I understand."
