Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]
Chapter 482 Casting Storm
Hearing this news, Su Yun frowned immediately.
"Why, do you think there is something wrong with this?" Seeing this, He Pingsi hurriedly asked.
Although a movie can make major changes before it is fully released, but in this period when actors have just started to be selected, several candidates with suitable conditions will be contacted at the same time. This is something that even laymen can understand .
To put it bluntly, it’s like shopping for groceries on the street. It’s definitely better to have more choices and comparisons than to only choose from a certain store.
After all, no matter when and where, there is competition to make progress.
But this is for a normal situation, but for Su Yun, these two people need to be treated differently-outsiders are always talking about the scandals surrounding Su Yun and gossip, and they always look forward to Su Yun When will the "fire in the back rail" cause those scandal objects who seem to know each other that the king will not see the king, and cause a big storm that will make the whole city eat melons...
As He Pingsi, who has been influenced by Western-style education and concepts since childhood, and his family is really a "big family", it is quite easy to accept and understand Su Yun's situation: a little bit of a crush but not the most "simple" male For the girlfriend step, as long as you protect yourself, there are only a few gossip targets, not even big gossip.
Compared with those party queens in their wealthy circle, the number of rumored objects like Su Yun - it can even be called pitifully small!
That is to say, Su Yun is standing in the entertainment industry, and she is also acting part-time in front of the screen, so she gets so much more attention than other people. Whenever there is any trace of catching wind, there will be a large group of paparazzi. .
"Looking at it now, there really seems to be no problem..." Su Yun spread her hands helplessly, "But you know some details but it's hard to connect—"
"Let's put it this way, although John and Leslie are Golden Globe winners and Cannes winners, it seems that there is not much difference in appearance, acting, status, etc., but in fact, John is higher in terms of salary. Quite a lot out of Leslie."
"You mean..." He Pingsi has always been a smart person who knows the elegance of a string song, and immediately understood the real reason why Su Yun mentioned this, "There is no way for this, Zhuang Long started in Hollywood, and Zhang Querong is in our local Xiangjiang, even if the figures on the net worth are the same, the units behind him must be different."
After all, Hollywood is still the direction of entertainment, and a person who can make a name for himself in Hollywood, even if he lives in Hong Kong for some reason, still has to be counted as his Hollywood worth.
In particular, Zhuang Long actually signed the contract with Su Yun and Ovitz's CAA, Xiangjiang's signing Zhao is only considered a "regional agency", so strictly speaking, Zhuang Long is actually a Hollywood artist, and Not a Xiangjiang artist.
The gap between the production cost of Xiangjiang films and that of Hollywood films is obvious to all who know a little bit about it.
"However, I also heard that Zhang Querong was indeed the first choice of the production team at the beginning, but he has been too popular recently and has too many film appointments, so there is really no schedule, so he can only push it gently." He Ping thought for a while. , and added, "As for Zhuang Long, he had just finished filming his movie in Shanghai, which happened to be on schedule, and felt that the story in the script was very similar to his childhood, so he took the initiative to lower his social status a lot. , I hope to be able to perform this role.”
"It's impossible to reduce the value too much by itself. If the value is reduced by hundreds of thousands of dollars, the remaining value will be replaced by Hong Kong paper, which is close to the 'sky-high price' in Xiangjiang." Su Yun shook her head.
As one of Zhao's management and also a bridge between Zhao and CAA, Su Yun certainly knows Zhuang Long's current worth and film contracts: as a rare oriental face who can occupy a place in Hollywood, Xiangjiang's side is undoubtedly There are endless production teams who want to invite Zhuang Long to participate in their own films, but except for the big guy with a black background, everyone else shakes their heads and walks away after asking the price.
Now is not the era of exorbitant film salaries in the future. Based on the mass production cost of Xiangjiang Films, Zhuang Long's net worth after conversion can directly account for half or more of the production funds.
That is to say, only the boss with a black background, because he really liked the image of the club boss played by Zhuang Long in "My Three Dead Ex-Husbands", that's why he threw out the good guy so boldly. With a salary of several million dollars, Zhuang Long was invited to go to Shanghai to shoot the "Shanghai 1920".
Of course, the plot is nothing more than the situation of the Republic of China, and the characters must be big bosses—since Zhuang Long's "big boss" image has penetrated into the hearts of some people, the classic shape of the top hat and long trench coat has directly affected Dress style impressions from the entertainment world to real life.
Just like after her master Lu Shaolong became famous, all kung fu scenes couldn't help but pay tribute to his weird cry once or twice; Zhuang Long's "big boss" image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not only for such as "The True Colors of a Hero" and so on. The dress and style of the bosses in the movie is a reference, and it also gives reference to the dress and style of some big shots in reality...
Thanks to the fact that Xiangjiang is like summer all year round, those big guys who follow the trend only wear such outfits occasionally, so they won't risk their lives to fight against the weather and temperature.
"If there is a problem with the film salary, then continue to discuss or change the budget, or just change the lead actor directly. Isn't that the normal way?" He Pingsi knew that Su Yun was really worried about the film salary. After that, I said another sentence according to my own understanding.
"If you follow the normal way, then of course there is no problem, but the problem is that some people just don't want to take the usual path." Su Yun almost sneered when she thought of the impact of the casting turmoil on the original track.
But what I have to say is that the producer, Ms. Xu Dong, who "played a trick" on everyone, is indeed a strange woman.
As far as Su Yun knows, Xu Dong also worked in front of the scene in the past, and he had both good looks and acting skills. The film industry is very profitable, so the bastard who came here to make quick money, but the one who really wants to make a good movie...
The problem is that both Su Yun and Su Yun are businessmen who turn from behind the scenes to behind the scenes. Su Yun's reputation in the circle is well-known, and only those who are in the circle can know it. It is to leave everything behind to see each other in the future, cooperate happily and separate peacefully, and will not comment on others at will when cooperation cannot be negotiated, or stir up heat by pouring dirty water on others.
Ms. Xu Dong, on the other hand, was on the original track, coveting people's popularity while being reluctant to give money or not daring to take the risk. After the contract was signed and the starring candidates were announced to the world, she reappeared. He turned his face and said that it was difficult for others to play big names; and taking advantage of the difficult opportunity of cross-border information transmission, he poured a bucket of dirty water and picked himself innocent, which directly and indirectly affected Zhuang Long's return to China. development path.
After the hype was over, it happened that Zhang Querong, the original first choice, had time, so it happened to be able to re-invite him to participate in the performance, saving a lot of publicity expenses and film remuneration funds.
Although this film is indeed a rare masterpiece, the practice of almost destroying someone who was full of expectations and causing years of casting controversy and other controversies for another person who got the opportunity to play the role has not less allowed this storm to spread for many years. , so that no matter which side of the people stand.
Even if the two people involved are not someone she knows and has deep feelings for, Su Yun still thinks that this lady is really unreasonable about this kind of thing.
"Since you have such a prediction, I will try my best to pay more attention to this situation." He Pingsi nodded seriously when he heard Su Yun's words, expressing that he would pay close attention to and report in time.
"Don't be too anxious. Depending on the situation, the movie won't start for at least a year or two. Just try to pay attention to the actions of that Ms. Xu." This problem is just the beginning for the time being, and Su Yun naturally won't be too nervous.
On the contrary, the second part of the "Once Upon a Time in Kyushu" series and the later work of "Future Water World" are the two projects she is most concerned about and worried about at present.
Especially the bad luck of "Future Water World", the large-scale set that was finally built was blown away by the typhoon overnight - if it hadn't been confirmed that the news is true, Su Yun would feel that it is simply a reality magic joke...
And this realistic magic joke appeared more than once!
After receiving the second serious opinion from "Master of Cost Planning" and "King of Luck" Su Yun, the production team finally followed Su Yun's words temporarily after several rounds of intense discussions and changed the framing choice of place.
Before, they were struggling between Australia and Hawaii, the two filming locations. The reason why they didn’t accept Su Yun’s opinion was that it was still winter in Australia, and the second was that Hawaii gave tax incentives. Australia, where the shooting work is hard, and Hawaii, where the distance is relatively close, the shooting work is simple and can save a lot of tax, I chose the latter without thinking too much.
However, compared to Australia, where the water is cold in winter, Hawaii, which looks warm and peaceful, is now the hurricane season when tides and typhoons work alone or simply join forces...
The large-scale set that was finally set up was flooded from the edge to the main scene, and it was destroyed until it had to be rebuilt before it could continue to be used. Su Yun's previous opinions had to be listened to and taken seriously again.
After flying back from Hollywood in a hurry, He Pingsi, who stayed behind in Xiangjiang, reported the latest situation: "Received the news, Zhuang Long has already negotiated with Xu Dong's production team, and because Zhuang Long Long's ambition and complicated feelings towards the role of 'Concubine Yu', so he recently specially ordered long hair and a long skirt to practice at home, and plans to formally go north to the capital to seek advice from Beijing opera artists after finishing a small part of the work in Xiangjiang study……"
Su Yun nodded, and then asked, "What about Leslie?"
"Recently, he has been busy shooting several films he has taken on before. When some media asked about this, he politely wished Zhuang Long a smooth filming... I have to say that they did a good job on the surface. What trouble did I cause you?" He Pingsi was used to seeing and tired of those troublemakers at home, so he was very pleased with Zhuang Long and Zhang Querong's "knowledge".
"In a few days, is Zhuang Long going to attend this year's Asia-Pacific Film Festival with that Ms. Xu?" Su Yun looked at the report and suddenly found a problem.
"Yes, that's right, is there any problem here?" He Pingsi was a little confused.
Soon, when watching the live broadcast of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival on the TV at home in Hong Kong, He Pingsi immediately understood where Su Yun's worries came from at that time——
In front of the audience, when Zhuang Long seriously said "The role of Concubine Yu is mine", Xu Dong, who attended with him as an award presenter, replied with a smile in a joking tone : "Are you sure? This role is yours?"
"Why, do you think there is something wrong with this?" Seeing this, He Pingsi hurriedly asked.
Although a movie can make major changes before it is fully released, but in this period when actors have just started to be selected, several candidates with suitable conditions will be contacted at the same time. This is something that even laymen can understand .
