Zhang Huawei asked Chu Liuxiang before because he wanted to make a Lunar New Year movie that would shock everyone.
Now he doesn't even care about the Lunar New Year holiday, which shows his determination.
That is to make "囧囧" a classic.
Polish this movie well and give yourself a flying start.
Shen Huan was also very pleased with this change in his attitude.
When a director no longer pursues efficiency but quality, then he is truly prepared to face greater challenges.
In this case, it is possible that "囧囧" can surpass the quality of another world!
With Zhang Huawei's statement, the subsequent eating and drinking became more harmonious.
But that doesn't mean that things are over for today.
Xu Ruiping talked about another key issue.
"As for actors, I wonder if Mr. Lu and Mr. Chu have any suggestions?"
She asked so sincerely.
Whether a movie is good or not, the script is important, the director is important, and the actors are equally important.
Never before has one of these three elements been missing and a movie can be made that is a hit at the box office and a hit with word-of-mouth.
Therefore, when it comes to selecting actors in this way, there is often a conflict between the investor and the director.
Investors want something that is popular and can drive box office.
Directors need to have acting skills and be able to understand their own intentions.
Now it’s up to you to see who can overwhelm whom.
Normally, the top six directors in China are not afraid of this at all. I make the decision about my crew, and you don’t have to worry about anything else.
This is the result of their decades of success, and they have such confidence.
But more directors still compromise with investors and let them control them.
In this way, many good movies ended up being cannon fodder due to poor actors, causing many directors to curse them.
Zhang Huawei is certainly qualified to decide his own actors.
Yang Feng is qualified to interfere, but he will not do so at all.
But Zhang Huawei still asked his wife to raise this question today. He was obviously testing Shen Huan, or Chu Liuxiang.
Chen Huan and Chu Liuxiang formed a film and television company-Fengxiang Film and Television.
This company will participate in all variety shows, TV series and movies produced by the two of them.
For example, this time, the production of "囧囧" was done by three families together.
Yang Feng provided money and people, and was also responsible for distribution. Zhang Huawei signed a director contract, while Fengxiang Film and Television signed a sharing contract.
The dividends that Fengxiang Film and Television can get are definitely no less than Zhang Huawei. -This sharing agreement means that not only domestic, but also foreign box office revenue must be shared.
Mr. Chu Liuxiang's works, at least in Asia, are sure to have countless fans. Many theaters and distributors will rush to buy the copyright, or share the box office cooperation.
The domestic box office of "The Gift of Room No. 7" was 850 million yuan, but it was a full 3.2 billion overseas. Do you think the profit gap is big
Without foreign box office, would "The Gift of Room 7" have such great momentum
If Zhang Huawei's movies can be released abroad and have the same box office as domestic ones, will he still be laughed at every day and said to be a country bumpkin who can only act mischievously in China
All right.
The topic has gone too far.
Precisely because Fengxiang Film and Television has a huge profit dispute, it is destined that they will not let go of the crew's affairs.
There is no such thing as just giving the script and then not caring about anything else.
Besides, it’s not like there’s no precedent before.
Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng most like to use actors who are accustomed to them.
How many times has Guo Hang used this
A fifth-rate extra actor was turned into the Venice Best Actor and the seventh best actor in China!
And Yang Shu, for "The Gift of Room No. 7", she became the Best Actress of Venice and the Golden Globe Award winner at the age of 8. How great an honor is this
In the blink of an eye, she got the main role in "The Story of Xiaoba" again. How many people were envious and jealous of this
Resources should not be concentrated, they should be shared!
It’s just you starring in one film, leaving some space for others
However, these complaints are useless. The two giants just like to use their acquaintances.
Take the recent "New Dragon Gate Inn" by Mr. Hao He.
One of the heroines currently confirmed is Ye Xiaoyu, and Ye Xiaoyu's decision was completely the result of asking Chu Liuxiang.
Only when Chu Liuxiang agreed did Mr. Hao He choose Ye Xiaoyu. Do you think Chu Liuxiang is good at it
No matter how awesome you Zhang Huawei is, can you compare to Mr. Hao He
So if you don't ask Chu Liuxiang when choosing a role, then you are absolutely asking for your own death.
Even if Zhang Huawei can live a good life without Chu Liuxiang in the future, he will definitely say goodbye to Zhang Huawei for that supreme honor.
After all, Zhang Huawei is also an ideal director.
In addition to pursuing the highest box office, he also hopes that he can win a grand prize, preferably an international grand prize!
Who can dare to say that he can be more powerful than Mr. Chu Liuxiang when it comes to creating films that win international awards
Just for this, Zhang Huawei was willing to endure a lot of Chu Liuxiang's interference with the crew.
As long as his bottom line is not involved, everything is negotiable.
…
When Xu Ruiping asked, Shen Huan nodded slightly.
Whether I want to appoint an actor or not, that's my business.
But whether you ask me or not is a sign of whether you respect me or not.
This attitude is very important.
"Teacher Chu and I originally hoped that Teacher Ma could play a role, but do you think the role of Xu Lang is a bit incompatible with him?" Shen Huan expressed his opinion.
"Actually, it's okay. It's okay for Lao Ma to star in a drama." Xu Ruiping said, "In this case, I'll ask him to take a few sets of makeup photos when he's free. You and Teacher Chu can see if it's suitable?"
"good!"
Shen Huan nodded.
"As for the role of Gao Bo, my opinion is that it doesn't need to be a handsome guy, as long as he has acting skills, and it would be better if he has comedy talent. The same is true for Wang Bao." Shen Huan said with a smile, "On this point, Director Zhang He must be more familiar with it than me, so we won’t get involved. When the time comes, you can just let us take a look at the candidate.”
"You're so kind." Zhang Huawei was very happy, "I'll have to ask you two to check it when the time comes, otherwise wouldn't the essence of this movie be lost?"
He was still very grateful for Shen Huan's delegation of power.
Since he is so righteous, Zhang Huawei must also be sensible and not let his temper take over.
We still need to discuss things with Shen Huan so that we can be good to you, me, and everyone.
"Oh, that's right." Shen Huan patted his head, "I almost forgot a character."
"Which one?" Zhang Huawei was stunned.
"In the elevator, Xu Lang and Wang Bao were commenting on someone else's beauty, but she turned out to be from China. When she got out of the elevator, she answered the phone and scolded them for being the 2-bit one." Shen Huan said, "I asked Teacher Chu to tailor this one. .”
"Who do you think is good?" Zhang Huawei breathed a sigh of relief, such a supporting role doesn't matter.
"Aren't you happy?" Shen Huan said, "At her birthday banquet, I asked if there was a role for her. I had no choice but to ask Chu Liuxiang to add a part."
Zhang Huawei and Xu Ruiping smiled at each other after hearing this.
"Teacher Lu, you have a very good relationship with Kaixin!" Xu Ruiping said pointedly.
"I treat her as my little sister. It's really not easy for a rich lady like her to have such a good attitude and temper." Shen Huan responded, pretending not to understand.
"This too!"
Zhang Huawei agreed.
Yang Kaixin also starred in his movie. At first, I thought this little princess was difficult to deal with, but it turned out that she was humble and hard-working. Except for her lack of acting skills, everything was fine.
Even Zhang Huawei, an old man with a grumpy temper, thinks that Yang Kaixin is good, that he really has a good way of doing things.
This role was given to Yang Kaixin, and Zhang Huawei had no objection at all.
