Entertainment begins with the talk of young China

Chapter 218 Casting
The filming of The Legend of the Condor Heroes came to Hengdian Film and Television City.

Hundreds of people from the production team are here, and every day just eating is hundreds of thousands.

The crew first held a simple opening ceremony outside the hotel.

A lot of media came to interview.

[Director Qian, it’s been so long since you’ve filmed a martial arts drama again... because I’ve said it before, in fact, you’ve basically finished filming martial arts dramas in your hands.As far as we know, the screenwriter of this drama is Qi Ji.So what exactly did Qi Ji write in the script that moved you so much?Are you actually willing to give up your promise and start shooting martial arts movies again? 】

When the reporter started the interview, he hit the nail on the head.

Qian Sansui held the microphone in his hands and replied calmly: "Of course it's because of the story. Qi Ji's script level, I believe everyone already understands it from some film and television dramas that have been broadcast before. It's just that there is nothing to say." And this time our Legend of the Condor Heroes is completely different from previous martial arts themes. This time we will interpret martial arts from a brand new perspective. You will know when it is broadcast, so look forward to it. "

Then the reporter's camera turned on Feng Muyu again.

【Xiao Yu, this is the second time you and Qi Ji have cooperated.Do you have anything new to look forward to this time? 】

Feng Muyu said seriously: "My biggest expectation is that I can interpret the role well this time and bring you a brand new, um, different screen image of Feng Muyu that everyone knows."

[Xiao Yu's pursuit is so high at such a young age.This year's four little flowers may be, you are very hopeful. 】

Hearing what the reporter said, Feng Muyu frowned: "Sister reporter, don't say that, everyone is in this circle, and I know what to say and what not to say, so you Asking you is picking things up. Si Xiaohua is the sisters we have long recognized, I am me, I am Feng Muyu."

Seeing Feng Muyu speak so bluntly.

The reporter who wanted to make trouble seemed very embarrassed.

Then everyone brought the topic back to Qi Ji.

[Qi Ji recently your Three Kingdoms Killing is really popular, how did you think of designing such a game in the first place? 】

Qi Ji: "I didn't think much about it, I just thought it was interesting, and suddenly there was such an idea in my mind, I didn't expect that everyone would like it so much, I was a little flattered, so I borrowed everyone's shots here to give To the audiences across the country, thank you for your support for our game, thank you very much. But today is the press conference of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, so please don’t mention other irrelevant things. Let’s just focus on the drama, thank you Everyone."

A press conference, dozens of media are present.

This is the deck.

the next day.

"Legend of the Condor Heroes" has officially started filming.

Naturally, it made the front page headlines of various entertainment newspapers.

[Director Qian Sansui's new work "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was launched in a low-key manner in Hengdian Studios.This is another S-level film and television drama project launched by Shunli Entertainment after the explosion of "The Silent Truth"!And it's a martial arts drama! 】

[At the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" press conference, Qian Sansui praised Qi Ji's screenwriting ability!Frankly speaking, Qi Ji's screenwriting has raised the standard of Hua Guo's screenwriting industry to a higher level! 】

After the opening press conference.

Qi Ji and the crew conducted a five-day script reading.

Then "Legend of the Condor Heroes" officially started filming.

Because of the early plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Qi Ji actually didn't need to appear on the stage.

So according to the itinerary, Qi Ji and the crew took three days off.

Then he flew to Shangjing.

In the past few days, it was the casting for the project "Yue Fei" that director Su Wu took over.

For the image of Yue Fei, the consensus between Qi Ji and Su Wu is that the actor must be chosen well.

Because of this character, he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

For this character, the four words "loyalty and dedication to the country" are the core.

So Yue Fei's choice of actors is the most important thing!

Once the actors are selected, this movie is half the battle!
So Qi Ji and Su Wu did not dare to neglect.

In the past period of time, Su Wu has found many actors in the circle.

Finally, a list of 5 people was drawn up.

Today, five people are going to wear Yue Fei's attire, formally set their makeup, and see who is the most suitable one!
Together with Su Wu, Qi Ji finally settled on a 27-year-old actor, Zhao Xuanmin.

The temperament of this actor... Both Qi Ji and Su Wu thought that it was that person.

And it's been almost ten years since Zhao Xuanmin made his debut.

It is very popular in China.

He is one of the few male actors with box office appeal.

Known as an actor with a box office of tens of billions.

Right now, everything has been decided, but at night, when he is officially preparing to sign a contract with this actor.

Something is wrong.

As one of the hottest actors in Huaguo at the moment.

Zhao Xuanmin asked for a salary of 1200 million, plus a 3.5% box office share.

The biggest investor in "Yue Fei" is Shunli Entertainment, followed by Su Wu's company.

When Qi Ji heard the news, he immediately exploded.

This salary far exceeded Qi Ji's budget.

But Su Wu patted Qi Ji on the shoulder and said, "The current market is like this, and this...is already the friendship price given by Zhao Xuanmin."

As a first-line director, Su Wu sometimes has no right to speak.

In Huaguo's showbiz right now, the appearance fees of actors are indeed skyrocketing year by year.

It was even reported before that a certain actress received hundreds of millions of dollars in salary for one play.

Actors' high salaries seem to have become a matter of course in the industry.

But Qi Ji couldn't accept such a thing.

The shooting budget of the entire "Yue Fei" is about 8000 million.

Zhao Xuanmin is going to take 1200 million of them?
This is something Qi Ji can't accept at all, and will never let it happen.

Qi Ji: "Director Su, as an investor, such an actor is really too expensive..."

Su Wudao: "He is indeed the most suitable. There is a reason why you are expensive."

Qi Ji: "It's really too expensive! Although from the current point of view, he is the Yue Fei I want in my heart..."

Su Wudao: "I've talked to his agent, he can't downgrade any more, if he downgrades again, he won't be able to take other people's roles in the future."

Qi Ji hummed.

To Zhao Xuanmin's level, his salary is actually affected by many factors.

If he casually gave Qi Ji an appearance fee of 100 million.

How much should he charge for other film and television dramas in the future?
Top actors, sometimes, cannot lower their status.

This is a concept of the so-called coffee position.

After more than 20 minutes.

Qi Ji met Zhao Xuanmin himself.

The two shook hands, and Zhao Xuanmin apologized: "Brother Qi Ji, next time we have a chance, we must cooperate!"

Qi Ji said: "Brother Zhao, I really like your acting skills! It's a pity, we almost missed fate this time!"

Su Wudao: "The next time Brother Qi Ji makes a top-level production, I will invite you again!"

Zhao Xuanmin said: "When the time comes, I will definitely participate!"

Talking about collapse with the crew of "Yue Fei" is from Zhao Xuanmin's side.

It's actually a very normal thing.

When it comes to contract talks, it's normal for the talks to fall apart.

On the way to the airport, Zhao Xuanmin's agent held the documents in his hands and said, "This "Yue Fei" should be the film that Qi Ji specially made for his "5000 Years". It's normal not to want to spend too much money."

Zhao Xuanmin smoked a cigar and said calmly: "This is director Su and Qingteng's screenwriter. It's a pity. The book is still very good, but it's a bit too cruel. There won't be such a movie in the market." Too much box office."

The manager said, "On Qi Ji's side, I've tried my best to appease him. It's not a big problem."

Zhao Xuanmin nodded: "Well, we still need to establish a good relationship with people. We can't say that because we didn't cooperate once, we won't contact them in the future."

"Of course, I'm not a fool."

Qi Ji sent Zhao Xuanmin away, and in his mind, he began to think of familiar actors again.

At last.

He thought of a person.

……

When Meng Liang returned to his rental house, his girlfriend had already fallen asleep.

He simply made himself something to eat.

He was a little tired after taking a day of flat photos today.

At this time.

His phone rang.

The caller ID is Qi Ji.

His expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Before Qi Ji asked him to audition for "Legend of the Condor Heroes", he didn't go.

After this incident, he and Qi Ji had no further contact.

Looking at Qi Ji's phone call.

He didn't know whether he would pick it up or not.

"Qi Ji's call, why didn't you answer it?" His girlfriend had already sat beside him at some point.

Seeing that Meng Liang was still in a daze, she grabbed the phone and connected to Qi Ji's call.

"Hey Lao Meng, where are you?" This was Qi Ji's flat voice.

"Qi Ji, I'm Meng Liang's girlfriend! He's taking a bath!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"I have a movie to be made here, and I think the image of Lao Meng is very suitable for this role!"

"Wow! Okay! Where is it? He'll be here tomorrow!"

"Hahaha! Why don't you discuss it with him? Last time I asked him to audition, he didn't come!"

"I can call the shots!"

"That's fine, come to Beijing XXX tomorrow, there is not much time, if I don't come tomorrow, I will contact other people."

"Don't worry! If he wants to come tomorrow, I'll break his leg and carry it over for you!"

"Hahahaha!"

The girlfriend hung up Qi Ji's phone, gave Meng Liang a deep look, and said earnestly:
"There are not many friends like Qi Ji. If you don't go this time, you will never have such friends again in your life!"

Meng Liang sighed, and said, "Why don't I know about it! But Ren Qiji is such a popular star now, if I go, won't it completely become a rumor and get involved?"

Hear this.

The girlfriend hated iron and steel and beat him hard: "Are you an idiot? How many people are vying for this kind of fate! If you don't go, let's break up!"

Girlfriend sees it very clearly.

If Qi Ji doesn't want to play with you.

forget about it.

Everyone, you walk your sunshine path, and I cross my single-plank bridge.

But now Qi Ji is willing to play with you.

What a chance.

This is an opportunity that many people can't ask for.

In the entire entertainment industry, there are hundreds of thousands of art school graduates every year.

In the end, those who can become popular, or those who can make movies and support themselves.

How many are there?

Qi Ji had already thrown the golden olive branch over.

Meng Liang is such an idiot, he doesn't know how to catch it? ?
this night.

The two chatted all night.

Meng Liang finally agreed to give it a try.

The next night, Qi Ji, Su Wu, Gu Pingting and others met Meng Liang in a private restaurant in Shangjing.

As soon as Meng Liang came up, he drank three glasses of wine by himself first.

Su Wu pushed his mirror frame, and felt that Qi Ji's roommate really had a bit of Yue Fei's axis in his bones.

Qi Ji patted Meng Liang on the shoulder and said, "Since we're here, let's try it out tomorrow and see if you can do it!"

Su Wudao: "Your image is still very good! Maybe it's the lack of acting experience, but this is not a problem. Through my hands, there are dozens of newcomers who have been popular for so many years, hahaha! "

Su Wu was very serious and proudly talked about his resume.

no way.

As the first-line director of Huaguo.

His play has the ability to make celebrities famous.

So now.

When I met the director of "Yue Fei", it was actually Su Wu.

Meng Liang was a little silly.

Not only is it stupid, but it has even reached a state of bewilderment.

but.

He also figured it out.

Since Qi Ji is willing to play with himself.

Then try it yourself!
As for the final result, it all depends on God's will!

"Qi Ji, Director Su, I will work hard!" Meng Liang didn't know what to say,

Finally had another glass of wine.

It wasn't until Qi Ji quickly persuaded him to stop.

the next day.

Su Wu gave Meng Liang a line from "Yue Fei".

Meng Liang's one thought is clear, and all thoughts are clear.

Well behaved.

even.

Even better than Zhao Xuanmin's performance!

"Okay! Meng Liang, you are Yue Fei in my heart!" Su Wu was very excited.

Originally, Qi Ji pulled his roommate over.

He didn't take it seriously.

After all, it is an opportunity to audition.

But really look at it now.

have to say.

Qi Ji's gaze was still very vicious.

Meng Liang's performance was really good.

Qi Ji is indeed a person who can write a character like Yue Fei!
Once again sighing Qi Ji's screenwriting ability in his heart, Su Wu put his arms around Meng Liang's shoulders and said, "Then it's settled! You are our Yue Fei!"

Su Wu's words changed Meng Liang's expression completely.

He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Director Su, Qi Ji, I will definitely live up to your expectations! We must perform our movie well!"

Qi Ji smiled and said, "You can play normally."

Meng Liang successfully signed the contract, and after a month of agreement with Su Wu, he officially entered the group and started filming.

Qi Ji went to the airport with him.

Qi Ji flew back to Hengdian.

Meng Liang, on the other hand, returned to Chaoyang City.

A rental house, the girlfriend is already waiting anxiously.

"How is it? Is it done?" She almost jumped up.

Meng Liang's expression at the moment was very ugly.

Her excitement immediately collapsed: "You messed up again, right?? What a great opportunity, you won't offend Qi Ji to death, will you?"

"It's done!"

"Are you really... what?"

"It's done! I've been spotted by director Su Wu! I'm going to act in a big movie!"

"Hahahaha! Really? And it's director Su Wu?!? Oh my god!! You are so strong! Husband!" The girlfriend's tears burst out immediately.

Meng Liang's girlfriend, and he was childhood sweetheart.

The relationship between the two has been very good since childhood.

His girlfriend is an ordinary salaryman, but she also knows that Meng Liang has always yearned for acting in the entertainment industry.

At this moment.

It seemed that the door was finally about to open to him.

The two of them hugged each other in the rental house, crying with excitement.
