"Dear, what do you think of actors?" Chen Jiaxuan handed the iPad to Lin Han. "Currently, more than 300 actors have expressed their interest in auditioning. Which ones should we choose?"
There are many actors in the entertainment industry, but not many have the opportunity to appear on the big screen, and even fewer can appear in blockbusters.
No matter how skilled the makeup artist is, he can't let a person in his forties play the role of someone in his twenties. For the same reason, Xu Jiayan is a bit too old.
"Why is Xu Jiayan joining in the fun!" Lin Han patted his head. He clearly stated his requirements for actors, but this guy still wants to come.
So Lin Han had to find another actor, one who has good appearance, solid acting skills, is willing to endure hardship, and is cheap. This is a scarce resource!
"Heroine, you should keep the most beautiful and sexy actor first, the one who can endure hardship, not the coquettish one."
When it comes to this, Lin Han also has a severe headache. For "The Matrix", he must be interested in Keanu Reeves, but there is no such actor in this world!
The acceptable range for him is between 25-35 years old. Too young or too mature is not suitable!
Lin Han's "The Matrix" has been the focus of media attention since it was registered and approved. It is a blockbuster with a cost of hundreds of millions. Regardless of the box office of the movie, as long as you can play a role in it, even if it is soy sauce, it will be a qualification. !
But the rest of his team had to live and eat, so they simply used it to escort Lin Han. At least that group of people had experience in science fiction films after filming the science fiction film "The Martian", and Much better than a patchwork team!
Of course, most domestic films spend their budgets on actors, either big-name actors or actresses, or popular traffic niches. The real money is spent on film shooting and post-production. rare.
Of course, good buddies Wang Hao and Zhang Chengzheng, who once filmed "Immortality" with Lin Han, are naturally members of the crew. Wang Hao joined the photography team, and Zhang Chengzheng also became a member of the lighting team. Of course, they It’s not about taking the lead, it’s about stealing from others!
As for the heroine Trinity, it is easier to find. It has long been a common situation for domestic actors to have yin and yang. The requirements for a heroine are not high. She must have good looks and a good figure. She can play the role of a flower vase well and will not misbehave. .
Because this can bring enough box office revenue to the film, even if it is a bad film, the audience will still buy it!
Leonardo was obviously there, so Lin Han asked someone to check several major Hollywood agencies, and there was no information about Keanu Reeves even on social networking sites.
Lin Han didn't expect the movie to be so influential. Neo is a young man, so Zhong Ze, who is full of feminine aura, was eliminated first, and then Jing Junming was also eliminated by Lin Han.
The reason why actors are recruited so soon is purely for the filming of the crew, because Lin Han wants these actors to fight with real guns and live ammunition instead of looking for stand-ins, so actors without fighting experience have to train months in advance.
After all, Trinity has a lot of martial arts action scenes, and Lin Han requested that the filming be done in person. Many beauties may not be able to endure this hardship!
There are not many female characters in the trilogy, and the acting skills required are not great. After all, this is a science fiction commercial blockbuster. As long as the acting skills are up to standard and can show a cool feeling, a cold beauty.
This movie does not need any big stars to increase its star power. The movie itself is a star-maker. Lin Han even plans to ask his company to sign the male and female protagonists, so that the influence of the movie will not be wasted!
Chen Jiaxuan thought for a while, then she said: "Actually, there are many superstar agents now coming to us, wanting to work on the role of Neo for their clients, including Xu Jiayan."
When Lin Han was watching the Keanu Reeves version of the movie, he would often get into trouble because of the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist was at the peak of his looks, while the female protagonist, apart from having a decent figure, had no face at all.
But Lin Han was not prepared to do this. He spent most of his money on the late and mid-stage stages, and he had to be much more cautious in the selection of actors. High-quality and low-priced actors were what he focused on.
Lin Han can't always use other people's teams, so it's particularly important to develop his own team. This time it's like paying tuition.
Among these people, only Xu Jiayan was friends with him, but friends are friends, and there is no room for childishness in this movie.
As for those actors on the front line, they don't need to establish relationships. They can directly contact the film production company through their agents. Different statuses naturally lead to different treatment.
This is not an easy task. Fortunately, Zheng Shuping knew Lin Han's situation and lent his team to Lin Han. After all, Zheng Shuping was old. If the movie script could not impress him, he would not easily go out to film. Film.
In commercial films, an excellent vase role is very important, just like Megan Fox in Transformers, bringing a sexy charm to science fiction blockbusters!
Money is the last word. It is undoubtedly very difficult to build a crew, especially for such a blockbuster film. But now people in the industry want to join Lin Han's name.
Large-scale recruitment is still unavoidable. Zheng Shuping's small team is only the main creative team, and the general must have soldiers under his command, so it is necessary to choose the right people.
It's not an easy thing to turn them from newbies who don't understand anything to pseudo-kung fu masters, so choosing actors is crucial!
The core departments such as art directors, scene designers, senior weapons designers, blasters, photographers, and lighting engineers are very strong.
"In addition to Xu Jiayan, there are Zhong Ze who is very influential among young people, Yin Xiuping who was nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actor at the age of 21, Jing Junming who has acted in many popular TV series, and Yang who has played many leading roles in the film industry. Ning, there are even many young movie stars in Taiwan and Hong Kong who want to give it a try."
Therefore, domestic second- and third-tier actors collectively began to work hard to contact Lin Han through various channels.
"Okay, you talk to him. There are too many actors now and it's troublesome to choose. The audition is scheduled for tomorrow and it will probably take a whole day."
Now that the framework of the crew is basically in place, but the filming preparations are still in progress, Lin Han put his focus on the actors.
"You can leave the list first, and I'll call Xu Jiayan to make it clear."
