Zhu Mei's plan encountered setbacks as soon as it went into battle.
She rushed back to Huajing in excitement and called Ye Xiaoyu's agent. As a result, he didn't even bother to connect with the script, and directly said that Ye Xiaoyu's schedule had been scheduled for next year.
If Zhu Mei's movie hadn't started shooting at that time, I could have handed over the script.
Because Zhu Mei is from Shanghai Opera, her agent will not deliberately offend her. She also said in detail that Ye Xiaoyu has been preparing for Hao He's new movie "Eternal Regret" since April.
Upon hearing that it was filming Hao He's scene, Zhu Mei understood why Ye Xiaoyu's schedule would not be available until next year.
As the number one director in China, Hao He’s films are shot with great detail, even more so than a woman like her. It takes two to three months to prepare, and another three to five months to shoot, and the final post-production is Filming and production will take another two to three months.
But time cannot be said to be wasted, because Hao He's films, whether they are literary films or historical films, are very interesting, with the sense of shooting, the style of the pictures, the profound connotations of the characters, and the conflicts in the plots. It will be fascinating to watch.
Even though Hao He's movies have never had the highest box office, every movie he makes will win big and small awards internationally. He is definitely the king of medals in the Chinese film industry!
Ye Xiaoyu just turned 30 this year. She also hopes to have a good movie that can increase her international reputation. Therefore, Hao He's movie can just give her a chance to taste her wish. No wonder she attaches great importance to it. .
After knowing the news, Zhu Mei had nothing to do.
When it comes to the appeal of Hao He's movies, she certainly can't compare to them.
Even if Ye Xiaoyu has read the script now, it is impossible to reject Hao He's movie and make "Love Letter". No matter how good-tempered Hao He is, he cannot tolerate this matter.
But now, since Ye Xiaoyu cannot come, Zhu Mei's follow-up plan cannot be implemented smoothly.
After much deliberation, Zhu Mei could only go to William Lin and Ji Qingyao first.
If these two front-line movie stars could agree to star in "Love Letters", even if the effect would be less good and the investment they would receive would be less, it would not be much different.
As a result, Zhu Mei was frustrated again.
Ji Qingyao was a little better. After her agent got the script, she tactfully replied the next day, "Qingyao feels that this script is not suitable for her," so she didn't accept it.
William Lin's agent was much better. He directly asked if he could be paid 5 million yuan for the film. If so, we could discuss whether to accept the script.
Zhu Mei laughed angrily when she heard this.
You didn't even read the script, and you asked for 5 million. Does this mean that as long as you have money, you can make a movie
Damn it, I won’t agree to your salary, and you’re not even interested in reading the script
Zhu Mei's temper was not good to begin with, and she immediately gave up further contact with William Lin.
In fact, Zhu Mei still understands in her heart that for a popular youth idol like William Lin, who is also a first-class male star, the salary of 5 million is just a starting price, and there is no shortage of movies to make.
If he gave up, William Lin would have nothing to lose, but it would mean that almost all of Zhu Mei’s previous plans had failed.
The reason why I say "almost all" is because Xu Dong, who played Ye Mao, readily agreed to Zhu Mei to star in "Love Letter" for 300,000 yuan after receiving the simple script.
Well, Zhu Mei is an old person in the industry. When she gave the script, none of the leading actors gave the most complete movie script.
She chose the plots related to their acting roles, and a lot of the main content was deleted.
But the general meaning and taste are still there.
Otherwise, if you want to show a messy script to movie queens and celebrities, are you thinking too highly of yourself
The difficulty in selecting actors is just one aspect.
While Zhu Mei was running around, Toy Entertainment Company held a large press conference.
The content is exactly about the movie "Flying Youth" by the famous screenwriter Wu Tong.
They chose up-and-coming film director Tian Nianfeng to take the lead, with first-class youth idol Yang Shaoxian to play the leading role. The heroine is Jiang Zhen, a second-tier female star who is famous for her good figure and beautiful appearance.
The two of them were both talented and beautiful, and when they stood together, they were really hit by the spotlight.
At this press conference, Tian Nianfeng and other directors and actors spoke politely, but when it was screenwriter Wu Tong's turn to speak, he suddenly made a shocking statement.
"This script of mine took me a year to polish and was my hard work. But director Zhu Mei, who I had a good chat with before, actually made a lot of unreasonable suggestions to me at the last moment before filming started. The request to modify the script!"
"I resolutely rejected her rude behavior, but she threatened me not to direct the film! I was very angry about this! Fortunately, director Tian has come to shoot the film himself, which makes me feel a lot more at ease!"
"I hope that when "Flying Youth" comes out, I will send a movie ticket to Director Zhu Mei and let her see how great "Flying Youth" is!!"
As a third-rate film company, the press conference for "Flying Youth" will certainly not be very grand, and there will be no TV interviews.
But a lot of online media were still present.
I thought it was just a calm press conference, but I didn't expect such a scene.
So immediately, thousands of videos of Wutong bombarding Zhu Mei appeared on various websites, and even though they were modest, they gained a lot of popularity.
One is a slightly famous screenwriter.
One is a well-known artistic film director.
The two of them were of equal caliber, so they were just right for each other.
When Zhu Mei heard the news, she also fought back despite her own meagerness.
"The reason why I raise my opinion is that "Flying Youth" has many unrealistic shortcomings. Since Mr. Wutong feels that he does not need to modify it, I also feel that this script is not in line with my concept. Is it normal to get together and get together easily?"
"As for how good "Flying Youth" will be, I don't think so. Because now I have a script written by a talented writer, and I will produce it right away."
"I hope that when it comes out, everyone will compare it with "Flying Youth" and tell the screenwriter Wutong what a good youth love movie is!"
"Oh, by the way, I'm currently looking for starring candidates for my new script. Anyone who is interested can come and give it a try. I promise you won't be disappointed!"
"Believe me, let's work together for this movie that will definitely become a classic!"
I sent out five meager plums in one go, but I felt so domineering!
After it was forwarded, this matter became even more lively.
