The next day.
After Yue Guan woke up, Gao Yuanyuan had left.
Nothing is left.
Yue Guan looked down at himself, feeling like a weak man who had been abandoned after playing.
Maybe this is life.
Yue Guan silently accepted this cruel reality.
When he was being pretentious, Wang Jing's call came.
"Come to my room."
After saying this, Wang Jing hung up the phone.
Yue Guan got up, took the time to wash himself briefly, and then went to Wang Jing's room.
After seeing Yue Guan, Wang Jing handed him his revised script: "I revised it most of the night last night. Your main plot is very complete. There is no need to make major changes, just fill in the details. You can do it yourself or find some Assistant screenwriter, let's do it, I'll help you add some small settings to make this script more in-depth."
Yue Guan asked Wang Jing while reading the script: "Brother Jing, what did you add?"
"For example, Lei Fang gave Yu Zhen the so-called 'priceless' heart of the ocean and set it up as a fake. Since they are all villains, don't let the audience sympathize with any character, and don't lower the quality of any character. IQ. Deceiving each other, using each other, and evenly matched confrontations are the most amazing."
Yue Guan praised: "Brother Jing is Brother Jing, he is indeed a professional."
"Also, the bankruptcy of Lei Yifang's company was set up to fund the local warlords to resist the king's division. Then it would be logical for him to run into problems with his company, rush to the United States, and covet the status of a true nobleman. The script would also be more political. correct."
It's all details.
It’s also all Kung Fu.
Wang Jing added a lot of similar details.
After reading Wang Jing's fine-tuned script, Yue Guan gave Wang Jing a thumbs up: "Brother Jing changed an 80-point script into a 90-point script."
Wang Jing waved his hand: "Your original script has 85 points, I will give you five points at most."
But the higher you go, the harder it gets.
Being able to add five points is enough to reflect Wang Jing's strength.
"The script has been revised here. You can just find someone to fill in some details. There are not many problems anymore." Wang Jing sat opposite Yue Guan and began to discuss the specific implementation details with Yue Guan: "When are you going to start this project? "
"The sooner the better, I am also planning to ride on the popularity of "Taiping Wheel". No matter how bad Wu Baige's "Taiping Wheel" was, our "Taiping Wheel" can surprise the audience. I'm afraid of comparison in everything, and I even want to have this movie released at the same time as "Tai Ping Wheel" and postpone "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Leader"."
Wang Jing seriously considered this possibility: "If the finished product of Wu Baige's "The Taiping Wheel" is very poor, this is indeed possible."
If a movie wants to get a good box office, in addition to its own quality, it also needs support from its peers.
If it weren't for the fact that movies from the same period were so unbeatable, the box office miracle of "Wolf Warrior 2" wouldn't be that great.
The same goes for "The Wandering Earth". Ning Hao and Xing Ye's new movies all stretched their hips, and then the little broken ball stood out and became the final big winner.
During certain periods of time, the audience will definitely go to see a movie, either to watch this one or that one.
And some viewers really only have the time or money to watch one movie.
Therefore, it is very important to find an opponent who can press the opponent.
Wu Baige's "The Taiping Wheel" is a soft persimmon in Yue Guan's eyes.
Wang Jing does not have the confidence of Yue Guan, but he has also read the script of "Tai Ping Wheel" and is somewhat confident.
"If you really want to compete in the ring, you have to speed up. When will your investment be in place?" Wang Jing asked.
Yue Guan calculated the time: "Within a week."
Wang Jing thought for a while and then said: "I should be able to finish it here in a week, and the crew didn't spend that much money when it was first established. Then we will prepare after discussing it today. It just so happened that the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew entered this Crew.”
Yue Guan has no objection.
The filming of the two movies "Eternal Dragon Sword" went smoothly. In addition to Wang Jing's contribution, the behind-the-scenes staff also contributed a lot.
Wang Jing is already comfortable with them, so just let him continue to use them. Yue Guan doesn't care about this.
As long as he continues to invest, Wang Jing will definitely give him enough say. In this regard, Wang Jing's character is still trustworthy.
"Where are the actors? What do you think?"
"I have connections in Guohua, and I can bring in a lot of Guohua teachers to make guest appearances." Yue Guan thought for a while, and then added: "Maybe it's free of charge."
Wang Jing's eyes twitched.
Many of the artists at the National Theater are national first-class actors.
The passengers on the Taiping Wheel come from all walks of life, and it does require a lot of people to do extra jobs.
Finding ordinary supporting actors is unattractive, but finding these big names to play guest roles will definitely add a lot of brilliance.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Wang Jing said decisively: "These people can increase the box office by at least 10 million."
Although there are not many, mosquitoes are still flesh no matter how small they are.
"Where are the three main characters? Which one are you going to play? It should be Yan Zekun, right?" Wang Jing said.
Yue Guan nodded: "Yes, Yan Zekun."
In his script, there are actually two male protagonists and one female protagonist, and the three characters have similar roles.
However, in terms of ranking, Yan Zekun will be ranked ahead of Lei Yifang.
Yue Guan organized his own game, and of course he would not give it up to others.
This was expected by Wang Jing.
"You play Yan Zekun. Among the other male protagonists, Lei Fang, who do you prefer? How about Ting Feng?" Wang Jing suggested proactively.
He is still willing to support the son of an old friend.
However, Yue Guan did not give Wang Jing this face: "The main plot of this drama revolves around Yan Ze, Kun Lei, Yu Zhen, and the three actors. In addition to the special effects, the selling point is these three actors. Chef Xie can't stand it. , whether it’s acting skills or fame.”
Yue Guan has no negative impression of Chef Xie.
But looking at Chef Xie's box office performance, you can see that he really doesn't have any blockbuster movies.
Hong Kong films have made him successful, but also limited him.
It won't attract passers-by.
Wang Jing was not disappointed. Anyway, he just said casually: "Who do you like?"
"I haven't decided yet. I hope that the role of Lei Fang will be played by someone whose acting skills are not worse than mine, but not better than mine. His reputation and popularity should ideally meet the standards of a first-line star, so that he can be worthy of this film." Investment in drama.”
Yue Guan's requirements are not low, but Wang Jing can understand.
His acting skills are no worse than Yue Guan's, and I guarantee that this drama will not be criticized by the audience in terms of acting skills.
No better than Yue Guan, I promise not to let this drama become a wedding dress for others.
but…
"Where can you find a first-line male star in the entertainment industry whose acting skills are 50-50 equal to yours? According to the script, Lei Fang's script is not too big. There are not many actors of the younger generation who meet this standard."
When Yue Guan heard the words "fifty-fifty" in acting skills, he suddenly thought of a person.
"Brother Jing, what do you think of Huang Xiaoming?"
Wang Jing considered it and said: "The popularity and status are in line with the standards, and the nationality is enough. According to the script, Lei Fang is older than Yan Zekun, and his age is appropriate. In terms of temperament, Lei Fang can barely be considered a domineering president, although It's the bankrupt version, but Huang Xiaoming should be able to act it. But do his acting skills meet the requirements? Yue Guan, Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are notoriously unstable. I have confidence in you, but you let me* *I have little confidence in him.”
Yue Guan is very confident in the leader: "The leader's acting skills have always been on par with others. When he debuted, he was not far behind when he acted opposite teacher Chen Daoming. After all, he is also a niche actor who debuted in a drama, and he can still expect the upper limit. of."
Unless Yue Guan's acting skills stretch his hips, there is no need to worry too much about the leader's acting skills.
After all, he is Huang·55kai·Xiaoming.
Wang Jing thought about Huang Xiaoming's performance in some serious dramas, and nodded slowly: "Let him try acting, Yue Guan, we try not to take risks in this drama. Although there are not many choices for the role of Lei Fang, There are still other options.”
The Mesozoic stars of the Dragon Kingdom can fight a lot.
However, at this stage, there are very few male celebrities whose national popularity exceeds that of the leader.
If the leader and Yang Tianbao get married in a few years, Yue Guan will never consider the leader, which will have the effect of dissuading him.
But the current leader can still look forward to it.
"Dragon Partners", which won him numerous awards in the film industry, has not yet been released. The leader has not yet reached his peak, let alone his decline after the peak.
The only problem is that Yue Guan has already agreed to let the leader act in "The Wind Rises in the Nirvana in Fire". If the leader is brought into the new crew, the cast of "The Wind Rises in the Nirvana in Fire" may have to be replaced or continued. Wait.
But Yue Guan glanced at Wang Jing.
If Wang Jing were the director, he might not have to consider this issue.
After all, this is a famously fast shooter.
As long as the shooting goes smoothly, it is definitely not a fantasy to solve the battle within a month.
"What about the heroine? Do you want to choose from Yuanyuan, Amin or Doudou?" Wang Jing chose local materials: "It's just right to continue cooperation, and the price is easy to negotiate. As long as you ask, they will definitely be willing to take it."
Yue Guan shook his head: "None of them are good, Brother Jing, don't you think the role of Yu Zhen should be played by a female star who looks particularly innocent and fairy?"
Wang Jing pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's true. The more innocent the character Yu Zhen is in the beginning, the greater the impact it will have on the audience when the ending is reversed. You really need to find the kind of woman who is good at first sight. Playing the role of a simple, silly and sweet female star does not require much acting skills at all, and the audience will preconceptionally believe that she is innocent."
Yue Guan's script focuses on reversal and impact.
If you only watch the first half, it will feel like watching an Eastern version of "Titanic". You will think that this movie is about praising love.
However, Yan Zekun and Lei Fang took the lead in changing their identities and tore apart their disguise as Barb Wolf. This was the first surprise.
At the end, Yan Zekun confessed to the "truth" that he was close to her. This was the second surprise, because there was another truth behind the truth.
In the end, Yu Zhen revealed his secret. This was the third surprise. The audience's expectations were exceeded when they saw this.
In the end, these three liars all reached the peak of their lives in the ugly country, pushing this surprise trio to the top.
How beautiful the previous performance is, how impactful the ending will be.
Therefore, the heroine must be chosen carefully.
"Sister Yuanyuan doesn't look like silly and sweet, and Zhang Min has a cool temperament, and she doesn't look like a simple rich lady. Qiu Shuzhen can act, but her temperament is more cute and sexy, while Yu Zhen is in the early stage The key traits to display should be innocence and kindness. I tend to look for female celebrities with white moonlight attributes, who look soft and weak without any aggression."
Wang Jing started searching for female stars based on Yue Guan's description.
After a while, he proposed several candidates: "Liu Shishi?"
Yue Guan thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Liu Shishi can do it. Her beauty and temperament are not aggressive. She can show reversal. The only worry is that she won't be able to grasp it well in the end."
"Liu Tao should be able to do it. In the minds of many people, she is synonymous with good women." Wang Jing said.
"Forget it, Teacher Bai. She is just a younger sister in the film industry, and she is not very popular."
"Teacher Bai? What Teacher Bai?" Wang Jing didn't understand Yue Guan's words.
Yue Guan explained calmly: "The heroine of an online novel, netizens think she is the most suitable to star in."
"I don't read online novels, so I don't really understand the jokes of you young people." Wang Jing didn't take it seriously and proposed another candidate: "Does Liu Yifei also meet the requirements?"
Yue Guan thought seriously for a moment: "It does meet the requirements. It's hard to imagine Liu Yifei playing a bad woman. When the audience sees her, they automatically add a fairy spirit and a simple setting to her. No acting skills are needed to make the audience recognize her." Yu Zhen is just a simple noble daughter."
"Both these two women seem to have something to do with you." Wang Jing glanced at Yue Guan gossiping, and then gave Yue Guan a smile that every man would understand.
Yue Guan felt very wronged: "It's just a scandal. Brother Jing, you have misunderstood me. I don't just shoot everywhere I go."
When he was on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", although he was surrounded by beauties, Yue Guan only made a move on Tang Yan and had no in-depth contact with other female stars.
Even though many female celebrities have actually hinted or explicitly stated it to him, Yue Guan still remains as guarded as a jade.
After all, the blue boy is out there, so he should protect himself.
Wang Jing didn't believe a word of Yue Guan's words.
"Whether it's relevant or not, since they are suitable, can you handle them?"
Yue Guan thought about the situation of the two women, and then nodded to Wang Jing: "It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll ask them who has a schedule."
Choose an actor for the role of Yu Zhen.
But Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei are both capable of acting.
"Then we will act separately and try to finish all the trivial matters within a week. The cast will be finalized and the filming will officially start in a week."
Wang Jing's serious work efficiency is not ordinary high, and Yue Guan is also happy to cooperate: "Listen to Brother Jing, I will contact the person now."
"By the way, what's the name of our play?" Wang Jing asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Brother Jing, please help me think about it. I'll also ask book friends to crowdfund for it."
