Chapter 376 Casting Ended
In addition to being able to travel, cars do have other advantages.
For example, provide convenient places.
Wang Shu’s villa is in the suburbs. It takes several hours to go back and forth from the city to the outskirts of Beijing. There is not enough time at all.
As for going to the hotel, that is absolutely not feasible.
If Wang Shu dares to go now, the news that he has booked a hotel room with Sun Li may be revealed tomorrow.
Car is the only choice.
Just find a remote place and you can make do.
An hour later, Sun Li was nestled in Wang Shu's arms, her pretty face full of z's.
Wang Shu said at the right time: "The supporting actor of "Travel to Taipei" has not been selected yet."
Seeing Sun Li's eyes light up when she heard this, she then added, "But... there is no role suitable for Deng Chao."
"Huh?" Sun Li couldn't help but say.
Wang Shu scratched her face and said with a faint smile: "Indeed not."
"Several supporting characters in "Taipei Trip" either have an image that does not match Deng Chao, Or the age doesn't match Deng Chao."
"Really not?" Sun Li looked at Wang Shu with watery eyes and asked aggrievedly.
Seeing Sun Li looking at him like this, Wang Shu thought for a while and said, "It's not like that at all. There is a tramp character in "Train to Busan". Deng Chao can play it, but he doesn't have much of a role."
"The image and age of other male characters are inconsistent with Deng Chao, so he can't play them."
Deng Chao's image is okay in TV dramas, but his career in movies is relatively limited, and he can't play many roles at all.
Forcing him to appear was quite inconsistent in the eyes of the audience.
"It's okay if there aren't many scenes. It would be nice to have a role." Sun Li kissed Wang Shu on the face and spoke with satisfaction.
She also knew that when Wang Shu made a movie, he was most interested in whether the actor could match the image of the character in the script. Since Wang Shu said that there was no role suitable for Deng Chao, it must be that it was really difficult to find a role suitable for Deng Chao.
Under this premise, Deng Chao was still given a role.
She was happy and touched in her heart.
This shows that Wang Shu cares about her.
The extent to which I care. I am willing to give her the role of boyfriend even if it means giving her the role.
Thinking of this, Sun Li suddenly felt a little regretful.
She suddenly realized that her behavior was using Wang Shu's feelings for her to benefit his boyfriend.
This is very unfair to Wang Shu, and it is also hurting Wang Shu.
You know this, but you still do it.
After doing this, Wang Shu still cares about her feelings stupidly.
Sun Li only felt like she was a bad woman, and felt a little depressed.
Wang Shu loves her so he will sacrifice for her.
And she clearly had a boyfriend and was unwilling to separate from him, but she repeatedly used Wang Shu's feelings for her to benefit herself and her boyfriend.
Sun Li couldn't help but touch Wang Shu's face, hiding many emotions in her heart.
Wang Shu patted Sun Li's waist and signaled to the second brother Wang who was still ventilating.
When Sun Li saw this, she glanced at Wang Shu with a faint look in her eyes, and then obediently leaned over to kiss the second brother Wang.
She also knew that Wang Shu would have this idea. It was most likely that her touching his face aroused the other person's interest, making Wang Shu mistakenly think that she also had an idea.
Sun Li was too lazy to explain this.
Since Wang Shu has an idea and she will obey Wang Shu’s instructions, there is no need to explain.
Wang Shu was lying on his side in the car, and Sun Li was kissing Wang's second brother sideways, with her back facing Wang Shu's front.
Wang Shu reached out and touched some areas.
In a blink of an eye, January 13th.
The cast of "Travel to Taipei" has been confirmed.
Liu Dehua, plays the male protagonist.
Li Binbin, plays the heroine.
Jiang Wen plays the second male lead.
Zhang Zifeng, plays the second female lead (little girl).
For this role, Wang Shu originally wanted to find Zhao Jinmai, but this little girl was not only far away from Shen Y, but she had not yet entered the entertainment industry.
She started to make her mark in late December 2008 when she participated in a cultural performance celebrating the 60th anniversary of Shenyang Daily.
Under such circumstances, it was obviously unreasonable for Wang Shu to rashly ask her to star.
Zhang Zifeng is different. In 2006, 5-year-old Zhang Zifeng was already filming commercials.
Compared to Zhao Jinmai, who was far away in Shenyang and was unknown, Zhang Zifeng’s photos were all delivered to Wang Shu’s desk.
Of course, there are also the more recent Jiang Yiyi and Song Zu'er.
The former is from Chaoyang District, Beijing, and made his debut in 2007.
Although the latter is from Tianj, not only did he debut in 2005, he is also Shu Chang's "cousin".
This cousin is not a real cousin, but Uncle Shu Chang married a woman with a baby, and this baby is Song Zu'er.
Song Zu'er and Wang Shu are impossible to choose.
As for Jiang Yiyi, although she is one of the few child stars who did not become disabled when she grew up, in the future she still took a chance and evaded taxes despite repeated orders. He is a bad artist.
……
Except for these actors.
The third male lead (the villain train conductor) is played by Wu Gang.
Female No. 3 (female high school student), played by Yang Zi.
Male No. 4 (male high school student), played by Zhang Yishan.
Male No. 5 (tramp), played by Deng Chao.
Among these actors, Liu Dehua and Jiang Wen were invited to star, Li Binbin got the role through an exchange of interests between Wang Shu and Hua Yi, Deng Chao gave him a role because of Sun Li's face, and the rest People get roles through auditions.
In "Travel to Taipei", there are age restrictions for male and female high school students. Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan are both 16 years old and meet the age limit.
In addition, both of them are in the capital, and they are still child stars.
Wang Shu thought that he had worked with Yang Zi before, and now they were just two minor supporting roles, so he gave the roles to them.
The roles were decided, Han Sanping acted as host, and Wang Shu was invited to dinner.
As soon as Wang Shu walked into the private room, he saw Jiang Wen was there, and they immediately started chatting.
For the role of the second male lead in "Train to Busan", Wang Shu auditioned many people but were not very satisfied. Then he thought of Jiang Wen and made a call to Han Sanping.
Han Sanping and Jiang Wen are old acquaintances, so he came forward, and Jiang Wen himself was also interested in this zombie film, and he and Wang Shu were also acquainted, so he agreed to star without any surprise.
However, Jiang Wen is going to the United States in April to participate in the filming of the short film "New York, I Love You" co-directed by 12 international filmmakers.
As for the schedule, a little coordination is needed.
A few people were eating and drinking, and decided on many things.
As for Huayi's 5% participation in "Taipei Trip", Wang Shu had already talked with Han Sanping before. Wang Shu did not hide it and directly informed him that 5% of Huayi’s original shares had been exchanged.
Although Han Sanping was a little surprised, he didn't ask any more questions.
Because, the 5% of Huayi is Wang Shu’s 5% of the 25% he held.
There is no change in the shares held by China Film Group Corporation, Shanghai Film Group Corporation, or Shanghai Film Group Corporation.
Moreover, in the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is commonplace and not unusual.
After receiving investment shares in large-scale films, many film and television companies will privately redistribute their shares in order to share risks and reduce financial pressure, or raise prices to make a little profit.
For example, in a movie, Huayi and Shanghai Film Group each hold 50% investment.
Then, Huayi used the 50% it held to sign another contract with companies such as Enlight, West Film, and Orange Sky to allocate the 50% share.
On the surface, only Huayi and Shanghai Film Group participated in the production. In fact, several companies secretly participated in the investment.
In this regard, Han Sanping just joked that Wang Shu was such a good person at such a young age.
Wang Shu understood what Han Sanping meant and replied at that time, "Now that we have brought the light, Wang Zhongjun from Huayi has come to find us again. It would be disrespectful not to bring it with us."
" Anyway, it’s only 5%, not a lot.”
Han Sanping was noncommittal about this.
Filmmakers in this era really don’t know much about company listings and stocks.
Han Sanping's focus has always been on Wang Shu's "even rain and dew", and he did not care at all about Wang Shu's purchase of Huayi's original shares.
January 15th.
"Travel to Taipei" held a book reading session before filming started.
Whether it is the actor Liu Dehua, the heroine Li Binbin, or Jiang Wen, Wu Gang, Yang Zi and others are all present.
The only newcomer in the conference room, Zhang Zifeng, did not come because he was a child. The others were all senior actors who had been in the industry for many years. Even Zhang Yishan and Yang Zi were child stars.
Therefore, the reading meeting went smoothly.
At this time, in addition to the leading actors and actresses who are familiar with the script through reading the script, the crew is also working quickly.
"Train to Taipei" was born out of "Train to Busan". Although the scene is not big, it is a zombie disaster movie after all, and it will inevitably use many extras.
At the moment, the crew is looking for someone to teach the extras how to play zombies well.
Details determine success or failure.
Whether a zombie movie is good or not depends not only on whether the plot and actors are good, but also on how realistic the zombies are.
Therefore, it is also necessary to guide extras to play zombies well.
As time goes by, the reading of the day will come to an end.
In order to enhance the tacit understanding between the starring actors, Wang Shu paid for the dinner.
Since it was a dinner party for Wang Shu's group, everyone showed up respectfully.
In the private room at the dinner, Wang Shu, Jiang Wen and Liu Dehua were basically the main guests.
Although Li Binbin is one of the four Dandan double stars, she is also a first-line actress.
But in front of Wang Shu, Jiang Wen, and Liu Dehua, it was not enough.
Wang Shu needless to say.
Although Jiang Wen played the second male lead in "Travel to Taipei", he is a great director and a bunch of actors are eagerly waiting for his support.
Andy Lau is one of the four kings of Hong Kong, a superstar of this era.
Li Binbin sat next to Wang Shu. She knew what was going on and was always talking to Wang Shu and toasting him.
There is certainly a financial backer behind her.
However, when an actor has reached a certain level in the entertainment industry, it is not enough to have a financial backer. He also needs a good script and a great director to go higher and further.
For example, Li Binbin has always had financial backers and starred in many movies, but she has never received much response.
She also understands now that messy film and television works, or film and television works directed by messy directors, no matter how much she acts, are of little use to her now.
If you want to go higher and further, you need to participate in film and television works directed by great directors.
For example, Zhang Ziyi first participated in the film directed by Zhang Yimou, and then participated in the film and television work directed by Li Yu, and she suddenly became international.
Another example is Tang Wei, a newcomer who became instantly popular just because he starred in the movie "Lust, Caution".
And she has acted in many movies, not even as good as the newcomer Tang Wei who acted in "Lust, Caution".
"Director Wang, how do you feel? Can you still drink?" Li Binbin asked with concern and thoughtfulness.
There was Jiang Wen at the wine table. This girl didn’t let Wang Shu go.
Wang Shu had no choice but to accompany him.
"It's okay." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
It’s not that he can’t drink, but that he doesn’t like drinking.
Jiang Wen, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two, and immediately pretended to be dissatisfied and joked: "Binbin, you just asked Director Wang if you can still drink it, why didn't you ask me?"
Li Binbin. No Not only did she have a good drinking capacity since she didn't drink with the big boss, she had also seen similar teasing countless times. She replied with a smile without any stage fright: "Director Jiang, who doesn't know that you have a lot of alcohol?"
After speaking, he glanced at Wang Shu and said, "Director Wang is different. He drinks less and is incomparable to you."
Jiang Wen chuckled and said, "So. Binbin is doing this." Are you concerned about Director Wang?”
He paused and said, “I know that Director Wang doesn’t have a girlfriend yet.”
"You care so much about Director Wang"
Although he hasn't finished speaking, the meaning is already obvious.
When Li Binbin heard Jiang Wen's teasing, not only was he not shy, but he smiled and asked, "No, Director Jiang? Looking at you, don't you think you are envious?"
< br>"Haha." Jiang Wen laughed when he heard this.
There is a financial backer behind Li Binbin, which is something that many people in the industry know.
Jiang Wen also knew this.
“It’s not like I’m jealous.”
“It’s just that our Director Wang doesn’t have a girlfriend.”
“Binbin. If you don’t have a boyfriend, should you consider it? Our Director Wang?”
Li Binbin answered quietly, “I have no objection, but I don’t know what Director Wang thinks.”
Her answer seemed to be a rhetorical question, but in fact it went beyond the question of whether she had a boyfriend.
Jiang Wentingyan looked at Wang Shu and asked with a smile: "Director Wang, tell me, what do you think?"
"." Wang Shu wanted to say, You two are teasing each other, what are you doing to bring me here?
Sighed: "I just want to go home."
"Haha."
This sad look immediately made everyone happy.
The previous topic has also been revealed.
After all, many people know that Li Binbin has a man, and if we continue to talk about this topic, we will only be unable to get off the stage.
