This star is too fierce

Chapter 393 I am an actor too

Zhang Sheng's trip to North America, apart from promoting the music album, naturally invited Li Zhenguo to star in his new movie.

The results of it?
The promotion of the album went well.

The sales are amazing, naturally smooth.

But there was a problem with inviting Li Zhenguo.

He is not in Los Angeles, but is filming in a certain crew.

For this reason, Zhang Sheng took the time to go to the crew to find him.

Hollywood is paying more and more attention to the domestic film market, and Chinese actors like Li Zhenguo who have developed in Hollywood are naturally more valued because of this.

This has also allowed Li Zhenguo to develop more smoothly in the past two years, with continuous film appointments.

Zhang Sheng was very sincere, but unfortunately he still failed to fulfill his wish.

Could it be that Li Zhenguo didn't like his movie, or his young director.

But Li Zhenguo's schedule is very full.

It's full of drama.

Zhang Sheng expects the filming of the new film to start in September and October.

And there was no more time for that time.

Li Zhenguo didn't read the script that Zhang Sheng brought.

He said that he was afraid that after reading it, he couldn't help breaking the contract.

Li Zhenguo didn't want to break the contract, and he liked Zhang Sheng's script, but it only added to his troubles.

Zhang Sheng sighed, but he was not too entangled.

It was expected.

"Li Zhenguo is indeed the first choice." Lu Wenhua said, "When will he be available?"

"His schedule is in the middle of next year." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "We can't wait for him that long. Besides, he is the first choice, but he is not absolutely necessary."

"That's a pity." Lu Wenhua said, "There are only a few who have box office appeal abroad. If it had been ten years earlier, Fang Long would have been suitable. Now."

Ten years ago, Fang Long was not old, and his reputation had not collapsed.

Now, Lu Wenhua obviously disagrees with inviting Fang Long to play.

Fang Long's audience popularity has gotten worse and worse in the past two years.

Among the Chinese actors, apart from Li Zhenguo and Fang Long who have some box office appeal abroad, there are really few people.

Liang Hua and the others were well-known at best.

And that popularity is probably not as good as Zhang Sheng.

"Fang Long's movie has too much personal style." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "Even ten years ago, this movie wasn't suitable for him. But why do you have to find an action actor? Although the hero of this movie has a lot of action scenes , but there are many actors who can complete those actions."

The male protagonist really doesn't need an action actor.

"Where's Wu Jie?" Lu Wenhua said, "You have to admit that the most well-known foreign actors in the circle are action actors."

It is true that action scenes do not have to be performed by action actors.

However, the action scenes shot by action actors are definitely much better than those shot by other people.

Most of the internationally renowned actors are action actors.

It is undoubtedly difficult for literary and opera actors to gain popularity abroad.

"He has no schedule." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said.

Why did Lu Wenhua suggest Wu Jie?

This has nothing to do with the many gunfight scenes in the movie.

Wu Jie undoubtedly has a great advantage in the shootout scene.

After all, he has been trained in the army.

Among other things, the posture of holding a gun should be more standard.

And he still has a certain reputation abroad.

"Then why don't you act?" Lu Wenhua said, "I'm afraid your popularity abroad is not inferior to that of Li Zhenguo and the others. If you act, the effect may not be worse than them."

"I'm not suitable." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "The age is not suitable, too young, and I don't have the temperament corresponding to the role."

Lu Wenhua glanced at Zhang Sheng and said nothing.

This may be a reason.

However, I am afraid that the more reason is that Zhang Sheng doesn't want to act at all.

An actress in her 60s and [-]s can play a girl.

Why can't Zhang Sheng play a middle-aged man with a bit of wandering vicissitudes?
What's more, the hero didn't say how old he was.

There are only two children.

If Zhang Sheng got married early, let alone two children, it would be fine to have two more.

From juvenile to old age, it is the same actor.

This is not uncommon in the circle.

Inappropriate age is undoubtedly the most lame reason.

"Then who are you going to invite?" Lu Wenhua asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said.

Li Zhenguo first, Wu Jie second, and Zhang Sheng?

But not losing to the two of them.

The reason for thinking about it later is that Zhang Sheng seldom directs and acts on his own.

"How about Jiang Bin?" Lu Wenhua asked, "Director Jiang is actually well-known abroad, especially in Europe and other Asian countries and regions. If he plays the role, it will be full of gimmicks, among other things."

"I'm just struggling." Zhang Sheng said, "Don't you know Director Jiang? His movies all have a strong personal style. In addition, his age is somewhat older than that."

Jiang Bin is not only an actor, but also a great director.

Zhang Sheng wasn't worried about pressure or something.

He made sci-fi movies.

Then no one can beat him.

He was worried that there would be a dispute with Jiang Bin during the filming.

If there is a quarrel, the relationship between the two is good, and it's not good if they quarrel.

"Probably not." Lu Wenhua said, "He's also a director, so he should be able to handle it properly. He still understands the principle of each performing his duties. He has big wrists, but I've never heard of him playing big names."

Jiang Bin playing big names?
How to play!

He has starred in his own movies over the years.

Play big cards with yourself?
"It's not urgent." Zhang Sheng said, "He may not be able to answer it either. You find time to find out what he has to say."

Lu Wenhua nodded.

He is also familiar with Jiang Bin.

Of course, the main reason is that it is more appropriate for him to go to talk about the situation than Zhang Sheng, and there is room for relaxation.

Talking about it, not an invitation.

"Where are the other actors? The heroine should still be the one from your family?" Lu Wenhua said.

"Let Peng Yuqian play the male second." Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "That character also has a lot of action scenes in the play."

Lu Wenhua nodded.

It is naturally beneficial for Peng Yuqian to star in this movie.

Zhang Sheng also discussed with Lu Wenhua about other actors who played a lot of roles.

However, almost nothing has been confirmed.

Now it is settled that Gu Sisi will play the female lead and Peng Yuqian will play the second male lead.

If it is not settled, it has a direction.

The key depends on the hero.

This movie is not a group play, but a movie in which the male protagonist plays the leading role.

Lu Wenhua soon found Jiang Bin.

Jiang Bin is so smart, after just chatting casually, he knew the purpose of Lu Wenhua's visit.

"He is not sincere!" Jiang Bin said with a smile, "I invited him to come to the door with the script in person, but because he revised the script, it almost collapsed."

"Director Jiang, your reputation is too great." Lu Wenhua smiled and said, "Isn't he afraid of being rejected by you? Young man, what a face."

"He's not famous?" Jiang Bin said, curling his lips, "He knows that a director is a director and an actor is an actor? Am I not as good as him? I, Jiang Bin, also have professional ethics."

When Zhang Sheng was filming "Starry Sky", although he discussed with him about the director's issues, he only occasionally raised his opinions on how to shoot the film, and did not overwhelm the host at all.

"It seems Director Jiang is interested in his new film?" Lu Wenhua said with a smile.

Jiang Bin guessed Zhang Sheng's worry, and directly stated it clearly.

They have a good relationship with each other, there is no need to hide it.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Jiang Bin's character.

"Which actor is not interested in his movie? I am also an actor." Jiang Bin said, "However, you have to read the script first. He still owes me a best actor!"

There is no doubt about Zhang Sheng's script.

However, Jiang Bin is obviously still very cautious.

After all, it is not easy to get to his step.

Not all movies are suitable for him.

He hasn't appeared in other director's movies for a long time, and he doesn't want to make an exception and fall into trouble immediately.

Interested is interested.

He has long passed the age of doing things with interest.

"Best Actor?" Lu Wenhua was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted, shook his head and said, "This is a commercial blockbuster. You know his movies have always been like this."

Zhang Sheng's films are almost all commercial films.

However, who said that commercial films cannot win awards?

That's all Jiang Bin said.

He has won a lot of awards, and he doesn't have that much desire to win awards.

The reason why I am interested in Zhang Sheng's movie is because I am interested in Zhang Sheng.

He didn't think Zhang Sheng had nothing to learn from him.

Any successful person has his own shining point.

With Zhang Sheng being so successful, there must be a lot to learn from Jiang Bin.

Live and learn.

This is also one of the reasons for Jiang Bin's success.

In addition, he directed Zhang Sheng, and he played Zhang Sheng.

This may be a good story.

"Is the investment not small?" Jiang Bin asked casually.

Zhang Sheng's international popularity has soared now, if the new film does not target the international film market, it will be a waste.

And if you want to target the international film market, and it is still a science fiction film, the investment will definitely not be small.

"Seven to eight hundred million." Lu Wenhua said, "Maybe more."

"It's so big to play?"

When Jiang Bin heard this, he was a little surprised.

The domestic film market is exploding, and movies with a box office of over 50 billion have appeared, but after all, they are very few.What's more, it is not so easy for a film to reach a box office of [-] or [-] million.

With such a large investment in a movie, the risk is not small.

I am afraid there are not many people in China who dare to do this.

Of course, Zhang Sheng must be one of them.

Even so, it is not generally difficult to earn back the cost of such a large investment in China.

Today, there are only a few films with a box office of over 20 billion.

Although Zhang Sheng's movie has not yet been dubbed.

But who can guarantee that his movies will always make money and not lose money?
Lu Wenhua probed Jiang Bin's tone, and Zhang Sheng came to invite him with the script.

He also has sincerity.

Jiang Bin didn't say much, but couldn't wait to read Zhang Sheng's script.

He was also very curious about Zhang Sheng's new film.

From Lu Wenhua's words, how could he fail to hear that he admired this film so much?
More than Zhang Sheng's other movies!

Lu Wenhua is not someone who likes to brag.

The name of the script is quite interesting, but what attracts Jiang Bin more is the content.

At dusk, the waves rolled.

Waves pushed a bearded man onto the soft sand.

He crawled.

The child's cry made him look up.
