Shen Huan knew very well what Zhu Mei was thinking.
As mentioned before, Zhu Mei is different from the Sunglasses King. In some aspects, she will still consider the cost of the producer and will make a certain degree of compromise to the market.
People who don’t know how to compromise don’t actually exist at all.
The king of sunglasses in China and the Coen brothers in Hollywood can actually be willful in many movies, but they will never be willful in all movies.
Occasionally, one or two dramas with good market performance and good reputation are a kind of guarantee for their status.
Otherwise, would a boss who likes trophies still like them in the face of their huge losses and never compromise
Therefore, it is very appropriate and necessary for Zhu Mei for the actor to participate in the film.
"It's not Teacher Xu." Shen Huan said calmly, "Aunt Mei, do you think Guo Hanghang is not good?"
"Guo Hang!?"
Zhu Mei was completely shocked, "Xiao Huan, you can't joke, can you?"
Guo Hang plays the role of Ye Mao, the protagonist's friend in "Love Letter". He is also a graduate of Shanghai Opera. However, he did not film any dramas for 3 years after graduation, and then acted in plays for 4 years.
As a result, in the drama, he is still a minor character, not noticeable at all.
In the movie, the role he plays is the same, there is no increase in the number of scenes, and the second-hand actor is synonymous with him.
If it weren't for her collaboration with Zhu Mei, who played a wonderful 12 seconds of scenes, Zhu Mei would not have noticed this junior brother, nor would she have let him play the role of Ye Mao.
In such a popular movie as "Love Letter", his appearance time is almost the same as that of the male Fang Shu, and his role is particularly important. The key is that he also perfectly performed the role, making everyone call him a "super warm man".
Through the role of Ye Mao, Guo Hang has a brand new luck.
Not only was he nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" in three movie selections, but there were suddenly more movies looking for him.
So far, he has acted in 5 movies.
Although they were all supporting roles and the scenes lasted only ten or twenty minutes, he was already very satisfied with it.
Judging from the two movies that have been released, Shen Huan feels that his acting skills are still so smooth, just like an old actor who has been acting for many years.
But judging from Guo Hang's performance, although he acted very maturely, he didn't have any old age. Instead, he relied on limited time and lines to show the distinctive characteristics of his role, which was very impressive.
"In the past few years, there have not been many powerful actors in the film and TV drama industries. There are quite a lot of naughty boys and girly boys." Shen Huan said slowly: "I like actors like Guo Hang very much, and I like them very much. I'm willing to give him a chance. We who make movies can't just point to old faces all the time. We still need to have new people to supplement our work."
Zhu Mei fell silent.
If Shen Huan recommended someone else, even a super popular actor like Chi Bin or Cai Changyi, she would argue with Shen Huan.
But after what Shen Huan said, she hesitated a little.
Of course she is familiar with the actor Guo Hang. She was the one who made the decision to use Guo Hang to replace the treacherous Xu Dong. As a result, Guo Hang interpreted the role of Ye Mao very well.
She has no big doubts about Guo Hang's acting skills.
An actor who can give himself a great shock in a 12-second performance is definitely a good actor.
"But..." Zhu Mei said hesitantly, "He is only 31 years old this year. Is he too young?"
"Li Chenglong also looked a bit decadent in prison. As long as he wears thicker makeup and is a little sloppier, it is not difficult to look like he is thirty-four or five years old." Shen Huan said, "What's more, Guo Hang is actually tall. He is not good-looking, his skin is dark, and he has no connection with the idol group. Such an actor has no tenderness at all."
Recalling Guo Hang's face, Zhu Mei showed a knowing smile.
"Let's do this. I'll add him to the audition list." Zhu Mei made the decision, "Well, it's just him, Sun Dahe and Fan Yuyue. I'll only choose from these three people, okay?"
"good!"
Shen Huan did not express any objection.
If in the actual audition, Guo Hang fails to meet expectations, or fails to withstand the pressure, then he is destined to miss this role.
Of the remaining two, no matter who plays the role of Jackie Chan, they will be good.
"What about Li Yiyuan?" Zhu Mei asked again, "How about the children I chose?"
She now understood that the reason why Shen Huan didn't talk about it was not because he didn't want to interfere, but because Shen Huan had different opinions on some of her casting choices.
"Overall, it's pretty much the same." Shen Huan felt a little regretful, "Actually, the drama version of Zhang Shihan is very good, but their drama version will start performing in June, so the time won't match up."
"For children, the main thing is to pay attention to one aura. It doesn't matter which one it is." Zhu Mei is very experienced in this aspect. "Don't worry, the ones I chose are all very aura, and there are quite a few others." Her performance experience is no worse than Zhang Shihan’s.”
From an inner point of view, Zhu Mei doesn't like to use people who have been used by others, especially actors from the same story.
She needs to make her own choices and then perform the movie soul that belongs to her brand.
This is also the inevitable pursuit of every director.
In another world, wretched directors like Fatty Wang did this and produced classics like "X God". One can only imagine what Zhu Mei's mood would be like.
"OK!"
Shen Huan readily agreed again.
Zhu Mei is very reassuring when doing things. No matter what other conditions are imposed, good filmmaking is always her first priority.
"But for the five supporting roles, no, plus the security section chief and the two prison wardens, I have a suggestion." Shen Huan said: "You can take two and give them to the actors from Riben and Taiji Kingdom." one. "
"ah!?"
Zhu Mei was startled at first, and then her eyes lit up, "Xiao Huan, you are really smart! In this way, the box office of Tai Chi Kingdom and Riben will definitely explode!"
"They have never obtained the filming permission for the language version of "The Gift of Room 7" in their respective countries, so their actors, through many connections, conveyed to me the hope of playing a role in it." Shen Huan said, "Can The ones that come to me are all their superstar actors, so I don’t have to worry about them being empty airs without acting skills.”
"Yeah, I know." Zhu Mei nodded.
When they first participated in the film festival in Tai Chi Country, several national treasure-level actors from Tai Chi Country strongly expressed their determination to participate in any role.
It is definitely impossible for Zhu Mei to arrange for them to participate in small supporting roles, but the important supporting roles mentioned by Shen Huan can be suitable for them.
Not to mention anything else, who stipulated that the remaining five inmates in Cell No. 7 must be Chinese
Wouldn't it be interesting to have a Tai Chi native and a Japanese native speak different languages and make some extra jokes
And having movie kings from two countries here will definitely be more conducive to the filming of the movie.
The actors from these three countries are definitely not willing to lose, and they all want to outdo others and become the biggest highlight of this movie.
Don't doubt it.
The leader of the society, the fraudster, the cooperating criminal, the model prisoner, and the intimidating criminal. These five people also have a very important role in "The Gift of Room 7".
If done well, it will definitely impress the audience and make it stand out.
If they can surpass Li Chenglong, it will be the highest praise for their acting skills, and it will also have their mark on such an excellent movie. How awesome!
With such a fierce collision and the mutual show of acting skills, Zhu Mei felt that "The Gift of Room No. 7" was destined to be wonderful.
And what she just mentioned is the box office expectations for Tai Chi Kingdom and Riben.
Today, the box office of action and comedy movies in China has far exceeded that of Japan and Tai Chi.
However, the box office of Hollywood movies broadcast in Japan and Taiji is also very high, which shows that the film markets in these two countries actually have great potential.
"The Gift of Room No. 7" is originally a very, very good story. It has a high reputation throughout Asia and has won the tears of countless people.
It has been adapted into a movie, and there is also a movie star from his own country starring. Do you think fans of the Tai Chi Kingdom and Japanese movies will enthusiastically support it
Not to mention that when it is subdivided into the field of literary and artistic films, the box office of Tai Chi Kingdom and Riben can simply beat the box office of China.
The box office of "Love Letter" in China is only 320 million, while in Tai Chi with a population of 50 million, the box office is 430 million, and in Japan with a population of 150 million, the box office is as high as 520 million!
Once movie fans and book fans in these two countries take action, it will be easy to break the box office record of "Love Letter" in Tai Chi Country and Japan.
Especially when there is a movie star from his own country starring.
If this is the case, "The Gift of Room No. 7" will be completely stable and there will be no pressure on box office results at all.
"Zheng Rongrong is indeed very generous, giving us each a 10% profit share." Zhu Mei said, "If Japan and South Korea achieve great results, Shanhai.com will have to bleed a lot."
"She is eager to give us as much as possible." Shen Huan said bluntly, "Because this means she will earn more and the box office results will be better, which will make Shanhai.com more famous."
"That's right." Zhu Mei nodded.
Although Shanhai.com is valued at US$40 billion, they are still in the process of continuous expansion. All the money they earn every year is invested in it, and not much is actually used to distribute dividends to shareholders.
Even without expansion, it is said that the annual net profit did not reach 5 billion yuan.
This is only in the past three years. The Internet has developed rapidly and mobile phones have more and more functions, which has promoted the development of video websites.
Otherwise, five years ago, Shanhai.com was still operating at a loss.
Now if one movie can earn 3.5 billion for Shanhai.com, it will not be a general encouragement to the morale and energy of the entire Shanhai.com.
This proves to everyone that the eldest princess is on the right path and has a bright future.
Before an Internet company goes public, doesn't it rely on one dream after another
If Shanhai.com wants to become bigger and stronger, this kind of dream is essential.
Zheng Rongrong continued to lead them forward and continued to win, so Shanhai.com had the confidence to catch up and surpass Shining Technology.
Shen Huan had previously estimated that Zheng Rongrong wanted to surpass her father Zheng Qian, and wanted Shanhai Group to exceed 400 billion US dollars. In Zhu Mei's view, it was simply impossible.
But if Zheng Rongrong wants to make some achievements and impress others, and treat her as a real entrepreneur instead of the second generation of the enterprise, then it is serious.
After embarking on the path of film and television production, if "Gift from Room No. 7" can bring fame and fortune to Zheng Rongrong, the 10% profit share she gave to Zhu Mei's team and Shen Huan is really not much.
