The filming location of "New World" is set in South Korea.
After all, the background setting is also in South Korea.
Moreover, if you shoot in South Korea, the costs in all aspects will be low.
Even if Yue Guan hadn't expressed no interest in male stars from South Korea, Wang Jing would have wanted to use male stars from South Korea.
After arriving on the set of "New World", Yue Guan and Wang Jing met. Wang Jing's first words were: "The salaries of stars in South Korea are too competitive."
Yue Guan: "...Yooner, are your prices very low?"
Lin Yoona was a little embarrassed: "It was originally very low. Later, after I terminated the contract, I mainly worked with Oppa to mix resources, and the salary went up. However, the seniors who only stayed in our province did not have high salaries. Compared with those in the Central Plains, their incomes are generally higher. a lot less."
She is much better now.
After all, she is a senior fan of Yue Guan. Yue Guan has always been a generous person and often gives her hundreds of millions at a time.
If you have money, you are so willful.
Wang Jing waved his hand: "Miss Lin is different. She is yours after all, but the salaries of other Korean stars are really low. Have you seen your wife? How much do you think she is paid?"
Yue Guan followed Wang Jing's eyes and glanced over.
I saw a very familiar figure.
"Li Zhien? Brother Jing, you actually found her. She plays my wife in "New World"?"
"Yes, you don't like her?" Wang Jing asked.
Yue Guan quickly denied: "No, but I am not particularly familiar with celebrities in Korea. After all, my focus is not here. I have only heard of her. IU seems to be quite popular in Korea."
IU, Lee Ji-eun’s stage name.
Lin Yoona said: "Oppa, IU is not just popular. She is also good at singing, singing, and filming. She is also a host. She is very powerful."
"Her salary is only one-fifth of Miss Lin's," Wang Jing said.
Yue Guan: "..."
No wonder all the stars in South Korea want to go out.
If you don’t go out, you will really be too behind in making money.
Lin Yoona told the truth: "I am all influenced by Oppa."
This is true.
Otherwise she wouldn't be able to get her current salary.
Not to mention receiving resources from Miracle Company.
While Yue Guan and Wang Jing were talking, Hu Jun came over from the other direction, laughing and opening his arms even though he was far away.
"Yue Guan, my brother owes you a favor this time. If you need me, call me and I will definitely return it." Hu Junqi said.
Ding Qing, the second male lead, was eventually given to Hu Jun.
Yue Guan told Wang Jing that he just mentioned it casually. You don't need to think too much. If there is a more suitable candidate, then use the more suitable one.
But Wang Jing didn't believe what Yue Guan said.
After all, even if the boss above made a joke, the people below would not dare to take it lightly.
He thought about it carefully. If Yue Guan plays the protagonist in the movie "New World", it must be different from Hong Kong movies. Hong Kong movies have inherent limitations on box office and audience. Audiences who are not interested will not watch it at all. .
Therefore, if we want "New World" to be a box office hit, we must try our best to establish a clear relationship with Hong Kong films. Instead of promoting it as a nostalgic Hong Kong film, it is better to focus on promoting Yueguan.
Under such circumstances, Ding Qing, the second male lead with a heavy role, is actually not suitable to be played by a Hong Kong actor, otherwise the Hong Kong film will be too strong.
But now, in the minds of many viewers, Hong Kong movies are actually synonymous with bad movies and emotions, and they are naturally disgusted with them.
If you want to attract these people into the cinema, you cannot turn them off.
Therefore, Wang Jing asked Hu Jun to briefly try out the role and gave Hu Jun the role of Ding Qing.
Anyway, the male lead is Yue Guan, and it must be Yue Guan who is in charge of publicity. Actually, the second male lead doesn’t matter much. You don’t have to look for someone who is too popular. Anyway, no matter how popular he is, he can’t be higher than Yue Guan. Hu Jun There are some national first-class actors and national talents who are actually very suitable.
Of course, Hu Jun would not think so.
His national popularity is not low, but in fact he is the kind of actor who plays popular roles but is not popular. He can suddenly receive such a big piece of pie, and Wang Jing directly told him that Yue Guan was the one who ordered it. Of course I am very grateful.
Yue Guan smiled and hugged Hu Jun: "Brother Jun, since you said so, I won't be polite. There will definitely be trouble for Brother Jun in the future."
"Really?" Hu Jun was stunned: "I'm just trying to be polite, do you have a play that's suitable for me?"
Yue Guan smiled: "Brother Jun, do you think there are many male stars in the entertainment industry who can play heroes and gallantry well?"
There are many such roles.
But there are really few actors who can play this kind of role well.
That is to say, with Yue Guan in this life, the beauty-boy aesthetic of sissy dramas has not become mainstream. Even so, heroic spirit is not something that is respected by mainstream screens.
There are fewer and fewer male actors with this kind of temperament, so when encountering this type of role, there is often the dilemma of not finding the right actor.
Hu Jun can be said to be the best match in this regard.
So Yue Guan was not being polite to him.
"Brother Jun, after the filming of "New World" is completed, you and I can go to our company together."
"Arranged so quickly?" Hu Jun was really stupid.
He said to himself that I am not a beautiful woman either.
Yue Guan is too kind to me, right
Yue Guan shrugged: "It's not an arrangement, it's a promotion. I want you to play a guest role as a general in the "Immortal Qin Empire" series. Is that okay?"
"Absolutely no problem, you'll be here when called." Hu Jun's chest clapped loudly, and then he asked Yue Guan: "Can you reveal who will play next?"
"Meng Tian, or other generals, we'll talk about it then."
"Immortal Qin Empire" is the series with the largest investment in the history of Dragon Kingdom, and Yue Guan's requirement for it is that it must be top-notch in all aspects.
Since we are heading towards the top, we must strive for excellence from the beginning.
For this kind of blockbuster, you don’t have to dig for gold from the sand, but directly dig for better gold from the gold.
"Speaking of the Xian Qin Empire, haven't you finished finalizing the cast list yet?" Wang Jing asked strangely.
Yue Guan explained: ""The Immortal Qin Empire" is divided into three parts. The actors for the first part have basically been decided, but the actors for the second and third parts have not been completely finalized yet."
"Have the actors for the first part been decided? Then why are there so few people announced on the official blog?" Lin Yoona asked.
"Some characters are kept secret in order to bring greater surprises to the audience. Also, after all the official announcements are made, the excitement of netizens is easy to pass, so except for the steady stream of news on the first day, the official announcements that follow are basically One official announcement a day.”
While Yue Guan was speaking, "Immortal Qin Empire" officially announced another official cast member:
Wang Jian—played by: Zhang Guangbei.
This name is not very famous, but when it comes to his masterpieces, countless viewers are familiar with them:
Lu Bu in the old version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms";
Chu Yunfei in "Bright Sword".
There is no doubt that the cast of "Xian Qin Empire", which was already a superb cast, has become more and more abnormal.
Wang Jing calculated the cast of "The Immortal Qin Empire" and then chuckled: "I guess Zhang Yimou can't sleep now. If this kind of cast fails in the end, the audience will definitely scold the director until he can't take care of himself."
