Chapter 190 The Book
"This one is definitely a good cake. If it were released on the market, there would be so many people grabbing it."

Jiang Xixi looked excited, and it was obvious that he had caught her eye.

Speaking of which, she also supports Han Sheng's ability to star in a movie this year, especially as I said before, Han Sheng now has quite successful works in terms of box office and ratings, so he can try in the field of literature and art.

Then get an award or something.

After all, the film industry still needs awards to add to it.

In other words, the box office is important, but if you can have the best of both worlds, why not?

Actors need awards.

And the country is not like the music industry, actors still have a lot of trophies with high gold content.

So this year, she has been paying attention, contacting various related film scripts that are more literary.However, although the box office of the film and television industry has repeatedly hit new highs, on the whole, with the increasing exposure of this circle, more people have entered this industry:
In addition to traditional crossovers such as singers and models, there are also Internet celebrities, various capital spokespersons, and recent trainees plus good resources, often surrounding various intricate networks.

So on the whole, there are still too many monks and too little porridge.

Or some projects are being discussed, but Jiang Xixi will not be so excited if they are not so sure.

"The relationship is good. If we don't talk about the crew, it may be difficult to arrange "Sword and Sword 3"."

Han Sheng also became interested.

Because normally, it takes at least one or two months from receipt of a book to filming. Considering that it is a literary-oriented book, the preparation period of two or three months may be relatively normal.

So time is tight, but there is really no good book in front of it: It is true that there are works of Butterfly now, but unfortunately the quality is not good enough. If he could accept it when he first acted, let's forget it now.

So it all depends on luck.

If not, then we can only try our best to avoid the shortcomings of these works, and then ask them to modify and shoot again—although Han Sheng is not in the early stage of acting, but the benefits that come with it are:
He also has the right to speak.

If he really wants the crew to make changes to avoid certain pitfalls, he has a certain right to speak.

"Don't worry, I think you can win this time, and we all hope that you can win."

Jiang Xixi held her mobile phone and said enthusiastically: "This time, we are the absolute golden team for the prize, and those who have won the prize. If you are interested, you can also guess, you should be able to guess which team it will be."

"That's what I said in "The First Incense" last time. Sometimes the cast doesn't necessarily explain everything."

Having said that, Han Sheng still opened his mouth and said, "First of all, do you say that you won the award before, or did you win the award recently?"

"recent!"

"Recently, from Hong Kong and Taiwan or from the Mainland?"

"Hong Kong and Taiwan, ouch, I said you should be able to guess."

Jiang Xixi didn't expect Han Sheng to grasp two key points so quickly. Hey, why can he get good books every time and fix the shortcomings in the books?

In this way, when it is released, the investors will be thankful after reading the feedback, "Fortunately, it was made up at that time".

emmm, this is actually the effect of the golden finger.

But really speaking, recently, RTHK has won awards for its script configuration.Of course, there are more important potential screening conditions, that is, the book is more literary and artistic, and it needs a male protagonist of Han Sheng's age.
It must be the male protagonist.

Han Sheng also let out his words in order to compete for the award, and he would not refuse anyone who came, but it was definitely not the supporting role that satisfied Jiang Xixi.

Otherwise, what a wonderful supporting role
So, he locked on the name of the play almost instantly, and his brows were instantly frowned.Then, as if thinking of something, he calmed down a bit.

"Okay, I've probably guessed it from your expression, this team is really good, right?"

"Three years ago, they filmed "July and Ansheng", but they won two actresses at once, and even Zhou Dongyu, who was directly released by the national teacher and was controversial, finally took a firm position!"

Jiang Xixi's face was full of passion, and she said: "But this time, the screenwriting team + director + Zhou Dongyu + producer of their "July and Ansheng" are almost the original team, and the director himself is from Hong Kong. This time it is almost a target I’m going to attend the Academy Awards. So we’re ready to talk to you about it first.”

"Let's not talk about this yet."

However, before she finished speaking, Han Sheng interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "To talk about this drama, there are more important matters to be resolved first. Fortunately, it's not too late for this meeting."

April 7th, Xianggang.

There are many high-rise buildings and countless subdivided houses, and the economic prosperity shows more and more obvious signs of decline. Of course, there are traditional beliefs and modern technology, Eastern culture and Western culture, and all kinds of vicissitudes.
In today's Xianggang, the psychedelic term "cyberpunk" has even been collided with.

Even if the latter word is more used in Chongqing.

Oh, by the way, speaking of it, the filming location of this new play is also in Chongqing.

Xu Yuezhen looked at the notebook in her hand and couldn't help but look forward to it.

This book is called "Youth in Youth".

She was the first to see it.

At first, she was attracted by the blueprint of the story about "hope" and "pain".

I feel there is a force inside
You feel that there are two people in this world, and it seems that no one can help them, but they still have a little hope. When the two meet, they decide to run towards hope together.

Then she liked it very much and wanted to make this movie.

And as a producer for so many years, she is very good at integrating resources and discovering effective routines:

What everyone can see are all kinds of cast members and actors.

What I can't see is the logic behind her: co-creation from the mainland + Hong Kong, to create works that are more suitable for the broad market, instead of staying in a corner like traditional Hong Kong filmmakers, or going north with the original old ideas, and then failing.

The current rural and Hong Kong film market is not as good as a big box office province in the Mainland.

So, it's time to embrace those thoughts.

In terms of actor selection, she chose the choice of Mainland + Hong Kong - someone may ask, weren't both actors from the Mainland in the previous film?This can only be said to be Ma Chun, but Zhou Dongyu is also involved in Hong Kong circles now.
"Drip."

The car arrived at the entrance of the company. This company is currently where Xu Yuezhen works, and it is also the company founded by Chen Kexin, the most successful director in Beishang.When filming the last film, there were all kinds of support from the other party, but in this film, Xu Yuezhen took the lead in resisting.

She has been a little anxious.

Especially in terms of actor selection, the actor selection this time may be even more difficult than last time:
Because awards alone are not enough, now everyone wants box office.

But Zhou Dongyu definitely wants it, and she doesn't have much box office ability at the moment, so the male actor is locked in the new generation of domestic actors: it's just a new generation of domestic actors. Carrying the box office.
The results were all ruthlessly exposed by the market after "Three Lives III":

Resistant, but not that exaggerated.

So I originally wanted to choose these streams, repeatedly audition and select, and judge various matters.

But this time a problem arises, because the company, after officially starting to recruit people, voted to issue a starring invitation to one person without much hesitation:
Yes, not an audition, not a play.

but starred.

Of course Han Sheng and Xu Yuezhen knew him.

Even what she noticed the most among the initial candidates was Han Sheng: Who made this a popular newcomer from the new generation in the Mainland, the second movie he participated in was the top box office in domestic film history, and he was also very good in other fields artist.

But after watching all of Han Sheng's previous works, including the recent "Langya Bang" clip, she finally discovered:
The roles he played before are completely different from this one.

It can even be said that Han Sheng is a very commercial actor and has no experience in this field at all.So if the company directly wants to hire him, Xu Yuezhen is definitely not satisfied.

"Sister Zhen, he is already the best choice."

After entering the door, the assistant who had been waiting early saw her expression, and naturally came up knowingly to continue persuading her.

"Needless to say that, I understand, but you know what I don't quite understand is something else."

Xu Yuezhen waved her hand, and walked towards the elevator without stopping: "At least, we should ask him to try a play before we can."

"And then it's decided?"

The elevator door opened in response, and out came Chen Kexin, who happened to go downstairs to pick her up: "It doesn't matter, we will definitely meet. Then you can use some excuse to go see him."

"But not directly." Xu Yuezhen wanted to say a few more words.

Chen Kexin waved his hand when he saw the elevator door closed, and said:

"Other actors may be, but Han Sheng is different. You may know how hot he is now, but you may not know how hot he is and how decisive this person is."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the last time Xu Anhua approached him for "The First Incense", he was directly rejected."

In fact, the shock caused by this matter is actually not small.

In the entertainment industry, with such a good team, so many people are rushing to get a job, and it can be said that there are very few young actors who can refuse this resource.But Han Sheng just refused, and it was still the kind of refusal that was never sloppy.

From this moment, Chen Kexin noticed the difference in the other party.

In addition, he consulted Wu Jing before. After all, Wu Jing had also been in Hong Kong before, and the news he got was that he was highly recommended - Han Sheng is definitely capable of acting well. In fact, I went to film his "Wandering" some time ago. Earth".

Then, Han Sheng's character in "The Wandering Earth" is a rather paranoid teenager, even a bit of a gangster.

Chen Kexin felt that there was something to be done.

"But..." Xu Xiuzhen hesitated, wanting to say something else.

But I don't know how to speak.

Although my crew is pretty good, how does it compare to Xu Anhua's crew?That is absolutely unattainable.And in terms of roles, the hero of "The First Incense" is really suitable for Han Sheng after thinking about it.

The co-star of "July" is Ma Sichun.

In terms of rewards, they are almost the same:

They must all be from the Hong Kong circle, and they all get the most male lead nominations, because the Hong Kong circle has never had a tradition of awarding pure mainland actors and actresses: Jet Li from the mainland is actually a mixed Hong Kong circle, and he is not from the mainland anymore. .
But the difference is that the opponent is definitely more stable and more attractive:
They were directly invited and rejected directly, no wonder Chen Kexin did this.But she still has something in her heart
"Dang Dang Dang Dang"

As soon as she got out of the elevator, Chen Kexin's ringtone attracted everyone's attention.He picked it up: "Hello? Oh, Han Sheng, hello!"

Seeing the most desired male lead in the play call, everyone couldn't help being silent: "."

Including the current Xu Xiuzhen.

To be honest, if I put aside the little obsession in my heart and look at Han Sheng, he is even a rarer candidate than Zhou Dongyu:
Their crew really lacked the box office the most.

The "Wandering Earth" mentioned just now has an investment of more than 3 million.

More than 3 million.
This investment is already an unimaginable production scale for a Hong Kong film, and at the beginning of that film, there was only Han Sheng.Later, Han Sheng used his favor to attract Wu Jing.

But it is enough to show that the industry recognizes his box office ability, or at least has expectations.

Billion level.

And what was the box office of their last movie "July and Ansheng"?
1.67 million.

So everyone paid attention to the anomaly, and just as they arrived at the company, Chen Kexin asked her to listen to it without prompting, and then said with a smile: "You have received the script, what do you think?"

This bold question made someone in the room break into a cold sweat.

But in fact, if I think about it carefully, not long after the invitation was sent out, I personally called back: It is impossible to say that I am not interested at all.

Because even if you are not interested, you want to say no.

As long as you don't come directly to the door like in "The First Incense", you must pretend to hesitate for a while before refusing.

The unspoken rule in the circle is to give each other face.

So Chen Kexin guessed that he was also interested, so she asked him directly and in a familiar tone.

"Well, I do have a certain idea."

Sure enough, the other side was also taken aback, and then said: "I wonder if it's convenient for you to discuss it with Mr. Chen?"

"Of course it's convenient! Just wait for me for a minute."

Chen Kexin immediately signaled to his assistant to bring notebooks and materials, and everyone stood beside him on guard.

Then he continued, asking, "What's wrong?"

"What I want to talk about is the problem with the script." Han Sheng said calmly.

"Is it a character design?"

Chen Kexin took a guess and said with a smile: "It's true that this character is not 100% positive compared to your previous characters, but it is true that he has a more layered setting because of this mixed element."

"It may be difficult to perform, but the final presentation must be able to reach the award level."

The assistant tensed up beside him.

Han Sheng made a lot of guesses before he even said why.From what I just said, he seems to have a weird temper. Could it be that he is unhappy because of this?

Um, Chen Kexin is in the black line.

He babbled a lot, but in fact he knew that he probably wouldn't hit, so he just guessed randomly.

The point is actually to use this question to promote this character and this drama, the kind that moisturizes things silently.

"Ah, the role is okay, I'm not talking about this."

Sure enough, Han Sheng's tone softened a bit, and he said, "It's the original script."

"original?"

So the story really went in a direction that no one expected, and Chen Kexin tensed unconsciously, and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"

"You may not know much about it, but the original work of this play is suspected of being a meme."

Fortunately, Han Sheng didn't make a fool of himself, but said directly: "The impact of this incident is very bad, fortunately, it's not too late. If you want to shoot, try to find the author of the original copyright of the alleged Rongge Talk about it, and then make a specific statement about the circumstances."

"Huh? We really haven't investigated that clearly."

Chen Kexin murmured, indeed, sometimes the film and television industry is not so sensitive to such things.

Especially if it is from Xianggang, the original work is not too well-known.But since the actor brought it up, he immediately followed up: "We will also investigate, and the other authors involved are"

Han Sheng continued: "It's mainly Keigo Higashino, but according to the Internet, there are more than one of his works, including "White Night", "Lonicera" and "Devotion of Suspect X". Of course, there are more details, just really. You need to investigate."

In fact, it is really difficult to face this kind of problem.

For example, even if "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is so popular, the original author is also suspected of being a meme, and it still exists.

But there is actually a money-saving way to cure all diseases:
buy them all.

"Ah, this, Keigo Higashino"

Chen Kexin was immediately shocked by the fact that there were several films in the film, and she hesitated: "He is still too famous, so it probably won't be cheap. Our crew is shooting a literary film, so the investment budget is only 1 million." "

In the end, he lifted his spirits again: "However, if Han Sheng can play the role, then we can continue to attract investment."

"Well, money is not a problem."

Then they heard a voice from the other end of the phone: "In fact, I also have a company that invests in movies, called Dongsheng Culture."

There is one thing to say, if a literary film is a hit, the return on investment is even more profitable than many commercial blockbusters.

So Han Sheng's actions are completely understandable:
I want to act in this movie, but since it is suspected of being a stalker, then just buy everything it is suspected of, that's fine.

And he knows that this movie is indeed a good choice now, after all, regardless of the difficulty of the role: his current level is really not to the point where he can seriously compete for awards, so even if there are many good literary and artistic films, he will Can't take it off.

Or follow-up award nominations, which are unique in recent years:
Even in the year of the Golden Rooster nomination, it was an absolute young year for an actor, and Huang Jiazhu's award was also controversial.Then in this time and space, if Han Sheng
All in all, worth the investment.

But this time it was inevitable that Han Sheng would stand in front of Golden Finger and see things.

As for the crew, I was directly stunned:
No, this person rejects so quickly and directly, and accepts so quickly and directly?Or, what he meant just now is that he is preparing to play the role, right?It's not purely an investment.
Emmm, of course not.

They still have "The Wandering Earth" in their hands and want to release it with Shanhai Century as a guarantee, and money is also very tight.

But in short, for the crew, the other party has already stated their position, and they must also move with themselves.And with a movement of the head, many things have been slowly transmitted:
For example, the most important thing is to investigate the original work.

For example, contact Dongsheng Culture.

Another example is to discuss cooperation details with Shanhai Century.

"elder sister!"

In the hotel, Zhou Dongyu's assistant staggered back with the phone in hand.

The assistant was very nervous when he got the news the first time.

But Zhou Dongyu was not in the house, he seemed to be on the phone inside.

Since she won the award for "July and Ansheng" last year, her resources have increased significantly. The "Later Us" that will be released this month has overwhelmed Jing Boran, let alone the variety show that she was afraid to accept before:
Ever since she appeared on "Extreme Challenge" to recruit gangsters with low EQ, she hasn't been on variety shows much.

But after winning the award, the public began to forgive her.

So now she even sings across borders. Last year, she took part in the resident variety show "Chinese Restaurant", and the response was not bad. Apart from the resources in the Hong Kong circle, what is also important is the bonus brought to her by good works.

So the team takes this kind of thing very seriously.

After she finished making the phone call, the assistant reported calmly: "Sister, the male lead has been found, but he may be in your position, so there is danger."

"Is the position in danger?"

Zhou Dongyu just finished the phone call, and he was taken aback:
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that her resources in the Hong Kong circle in the past two years have been poured into her as if she didn't need money.

They are all the ones that are highly praised.

So this play is basically designed for her quite brilliantly, and they are all supporting her, plus she is also the queen of the new generation, how could she not keep her position in her own movie?
"Yes, there is danger, because the hero should be Han Sheng." The assistant hurriedly said.

Then Zhou Dongyu was silent for a while.

He, if it is him.
That is indeed dangerous. After all, who in the mainland does not know that this famous new generation has the ability to overwhelm everyone and get the number one hot search for a long time on the debut night of "Ou Lian", which can be seen.

If he plays the role, Fanwei Game will suddenly go in the direction of Pingfan.However, this incident sounded different to her inexplicably—these things were actually more concerned by the manager, and she was fine.

Just like her on the red carpet.

Hardly care what the finale is not the finale.

The movie thing is indeed different from the red carpet, but it is not within the scope of her operation.So instead of worrying about these things, she began to imagine more, Han Sheng seems to be really capable of acting.
