A reporter interviewed residents living on 105th Street and Broadway Avenue in Manhattan.
A resident said to the camera: "In the past few days, I just noticed the poster on the wall at the intersection. I know it is an Asian actress, she must be a relatively famous actor, but I can't remember her name."< br>
When a reporter asked about the poster, a middle-aged woman passing by said with a smile: "Asian women are becoming more and more popular now. I think their name is Zhang Ziyi, right?"
< br>Domestic.
Through the reports, a group of women saw Zhang Ziyi’s star-studded and arrogant appearance in North America. While they felt the pressure, their envy was also self-evident.
At the same time.
China Film, Yangshi, and Yishu jointly issued a statement that they will jointly invest 50 million to produce a TV series directed by Wang Shu.
Once this news was sent out, it instantly detonated the entire entertainment industry.
It doesn’t matter whether it is a king tree or not. What is important is the three words China Film, Yangshi and 50 million.
Anyone who is a practitioner in the entertainment industry can see that this drama must be a large-scale production with full specifications.
For a time, many actors were eager to get on the big bandwagon of watching big movies.
At the same time, Wang Shu’s mobile phone was always busy and he kept receiving calls.
"Brother Wang, you are not being honest. You are secretly working on a new project with China Film Group, but you are leaving us out." After Wang Changtian called Wang Shu, he complained. He was not He came to question Wang Shu, but he cried miserably.
"Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't want to bring in the light, but this is a Yangshi play, and I don't want to mix it up too much." Hearing Wang Changtian's melancholy voice, Wang Shu threw it away. pot.
“You also know that Yangshi has their own production department, and many works are produced independently.”
“They have a big business over there, let alone a budget of 5000W. Yes, even a budget of hundreds of millions can be easily achieved.”
"What's more, there are China Film and Television and Director Han."
After "Buried Alive", Wang Shu and Guang Guang collaborated on "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" and "The Tuner", and both parties also It's good to be honest and look forward to cooperation.
I didn’t bring any light this time, which is a bit unjustifiable.
But.
Who makes Han Sanping and Yangshi not want other film and television companies to participate in investment?
There was nothing Wang Shu could do about it.
Wang Changtian immediately understood the meaning of Wang Shu's words, and he also knew that it was most likely not Wang Shu who advocated not bringing in the light. but.
If you know it, you know it, but you have to make a phone call, and you have to sell it if you sell it badly.
Otherwise, I won’t bring light next time.
"Director Wang, I don't mean to blame you. I also know that it's difficult to do things." Wang Changtian changed his tone and began to understand Wang Shu. "I just want to say that if you have any projects in the future, let me know." . ”
“No matter how big the project is, Guangwang can still keep up with it even if it is a swindle.”
The popularity of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" has given Guangwang a sweet taste.
Now that Wang Shu is producing a TV series again, Wang Changtian naturally wants to follow.
But I can’t get in the car.
Although the lighting of "The Tuner" was also involved in the casting, one code equals another.
"Haha, Mr. Wang can trust me so much and rush to send me money, so why should he refuse me?" Wang Shu laughed and said, "If there are any projects in the future, I will let Mr. Wang know, so don’t worry.”
“My heart instantly felt at ease with Director Wang’s words.” Wang Changtian responded with a smile, and then asked in a timely manner. , "Director Wang, I think it was only announced that you, China Film, and Yangshi invested 50 million to jointly produce a TV series, but they didn't say anything about the actors' roles."
"What is the specific charter? , can you tell me something?"
Wang Shu smiled, knowing that this was the main purpose of Wang Changtian's call, and then said truthfully: "The heroine has been decided, and other actors will be selected through auditions. .”
"Has the heroine been decided?" Wang Changtian was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
"Yes." Wang Shu replied affirmatively, "Mr. Wang, the choice of the heroine will not be changed. If you have any actors you want to recommend, please send me their personal information. "
"I will pay close attention to it during the audition."
At this point, he paused and then continued, "But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance. "
"You also know that I am still busy with the post-production work of "The Tuner" and don't have much time to participate in auditions."
"So, I will only interview a few main roles."
"Other roles will be handled by China Film and Yangshi."
On the matter of casting, Wang Shu He can also be a good person.
This movie has an investment of 50 million W and is jointly produced by China Film and Yangshi. There will definitely be many people in the entertainment industry paying attention to it.
Indispensable, there are many messy exchanges of favors, interests, etc.
And there are so many characters in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", so he doesn't need to have all the casting rights in his hands.
Not only does it offend people, it also does no good.
It is better to just choose some main actors and leave the rest to China Film and Yangshi.
What's more, Wang Shu really needs to deal with the post-production of "The Tuner" and doesn't have much time to waste on the preliminary preparations for "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Of course, Yangshi and China Film Group have no objections to this.
Yishu is not an artist manager. Both Han Sanping and Yangshu understand that Wang Shu's purpose in holding these casting rights is not to promote his own artists, but to ensure the quality of the TV series.
Wang Changtian is also an understanding brother and instantly understood what Wang Shu meant.
This is telling him that the main characters will not make random decisions based on human relationships, but based on their true abilities.
It was also telling him that if he wanted to stop people, he should go to China Film and Yangshi.
So he said with a smile: "Then I will recommend a few actors for you first. Then you can focus on them and see if they are suitable. Forget it if they are not suitable."
