Chapter 557 Domestic Monster Movie
After hearing Jiang Yiyan's words, even if Gao Yuanyuan had already let go, she still inevitably regretted it.
If he had agreed to Wang Shu's cooperation back then, he would have definitely gained Wang Shu's network now.
Now there is no need to be so anxious about the outcome.
Gao Yuanyuan sighed in her heart, and forced a smile to control her facial expression: "It's all in the past, why are you bringing it up?"
Jiang Yiyan smiled softly and said, "I'm just feeling a little emotional."
Xu Huanhuan didn't speak, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Among them, she is the only one who knows Wang Shu.
When Jiang Yiyan said this, it seemed that she was referring to what if she knew Wang Shu. It was not that Gao Yuanyuan had no chance to know him, but he rejected her back then.
It was a bit embarrassing for her.
But they were all actors, so she didn't show it, and still chatted with a smile.
As time goes by, more and more actors come to the scene.
“There are so many people!” Sun Jiayi sighed with an uneasy expression.
Among them, she was the worst at it, and deep down she had the least chance of getting a role.
But she is not completely without extravagant hopes and expectations, otherwise she would not come.
The reason why she came here to try her luck is that when Wang Shu makes a movie, he may choose well-known actors for the starring roles, but not for the supporting roles.
Therefore, her goal in coming here was not to play a starring role, but to play a supporting role.
Of course, she will also try her luck by auditioning for the leading role.
If you are rejected, audition for a supporting role again.
Anyway, you won’t lose anything by trying to audition for a heroine role. If you are lucky enough to get the role, you will undoubtedly make a lot of money.
If you don’t try, it’s useless.
Not only her, but also many actors who came to audition had this plan.
If there are no dates, rake them. If you don’t get the dates, you won’t lose. If you get the dates, you will make a lot of money.
When Gao Yuanyuan and others heard her words, they also felt sighs and urgency.
"Hey, isn't that Li Xiaolu? Are they here too?" Xu Huanhuan looked into the distance and saw Li Xiaolu.
Beside her, there are Huo Siyan, Qin Lan, Liu Yun and others. They are a group of besties acting together.
However, there is no Yangmi.
The best friends who were once close friends have now parted ways.
“It’s really them.” Jiang Yiyan answered.
She had expected this. After all, Wang Shu's co-production was a top-notch film resource, and it was also a top-notch film resource for auditions and casting, the only one in China.
With such resources and opportunities in front of us, no one would try their luck.
If you don’t have the chance, there is no need to come.
But, there is a chance!
"Li Xiaolu is very popular now, so the chance should be great, right?" Sun Jiayi said.
These people are all in the TV drama industry, so they naturally understand Li Xiaolu’s importance.
This is a popular TV drama actor, and now he has set foot in the film industry.
It’s not surprising that I came here.
Compared with Sun Jiayi's bluster, Jiang Yiyan sneered slightly.
Before Li Xiaolu left Chengtian with Wang Jinhua, Jiang Yiyan and she belonged to the same Chengtian.
Now that Li Xiaolu has set foot in the film industry, she is not bad either. She has also set foot in the film industry.
If Li Xiaolu has a good chance of getting the role, then so does she.
Xu Huanhuan saw that the atmosphere among the good sisters was a bit depressing, and immediately said: "Director Wang does not look at the actor's status when selecting roles. As long as they are suitable, even newcomers can get roles."
< br>“Remember Sun Li and Liu Yan from “Love Travelers”?”
“Although Sun Li was already very popular at the time, she was a TV actress.”
“Liu Yan , and he is a newcomer who has never acted before. ”
This is to say that under normal circumstances there are many movie actors, so there is no need for Wang Shu to choose TV drama actors instead of movie actors.
Liu Yan can be selected, even more so.
There are so many actors in the industry, there is no need to choose a newcomer who has neither a professional background nor acting experience.
These evidences show that Wang Shu does not focus on celebrity position when selecting actors, but rather selects suitable actors.
As for the subsequent "Terror Cruise", Gong Li and others were selected, but Zhou Haiwei's participation also shows that as long as the image is suitable, there is a chance to get the role.
Although Zhou Haiwei was once a popular actress in Hong Kong, that was once.
After heading north, there weren’t many cards.
Gao Yuanyuan and Jiang Yiyan also understand it. They even said that not only they understand this, but also the actors in the industry know this.
It was precisely because I knew it was possible to get a role through auditions that I kept coming here to try my luck.
"Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrives, isn't that Liu Yan?" Jiang Yiyan happened to look at Liu Yan and curled his lips.
Gao Yuanyuan, Xu Huanhuan, and Sun Jiayi followed her gaze and saw Liu Yan as expected.
Liu Yan has a pair of big lights on stage, but this is not the case in private.
In other words, she doesn’t want to take the route of wearing a headlight, but she only has this recognition. If she doesn’t take this route, she won’t be able to get ahead at all.
Xu Huanhuan smiled and said: "As I said just now, many actors who know Director Wang come here to audition. Qin Hailu, Jiang Wenli and others before, and Liu Yan now."
These words are both showing off and explaining.
What she expresses is not that she is estranged from Wang Shu, but that all the actors who know Wang Shu are the same as her.
When Jiang Yiyan heard this, he fell into a brief silence.
She can now see that the friendship between Xu Huanhuan and Wang Shu is still there.
As long as the friendship is there, there will definitely be an advantage.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "Huan Huan, in that case, can you help us introduce Director Wang, so we can find out if we can get the role."
< br>
These words immediately put Xu Huanhuan into a dilemma. It was not good to agree, and it was not good to not agree.
If you don't agree, you won't give your best friend face, and it will appear that she is stingy.
And agreed.
She herself came to audition for the role, so what did she agree to?
Xu Huanhuan answered in a dilemma: "Yiyan, it's not that I don't want to recommend Director Wang, but I am standing here with you at a glance."
"It's not just me, Liu Yan and the others are like this."
Gao Yuanyuan understood her best friend's embarrassment and said to smooth things over: "Yiyan, don't make it difficult for Huan Huan. What she said is right. So many people who know Wang Director Wang is participating in the audition just like her, which shows that Director Wang may not like people to come to her.” frown."
"Even if Director Wang didn't say it, he was unhappy in his heart." In fact, Xu Huanhuan didn't take the initiative to ask Wang Shu about the role because she was too embarrassed to speak.
One night, she and Wang Shu were watching a movie in the cinema.
She, a girl, took the initiative to hold Wang Shu's hand, but received no response.
After that, although we kept in touch, it was just like ordinary friends.
Therefore, deep down in her heart, she always felt embarrassed when facing Wang Shu.
It would be fine if it was just a normal communication, but if it was something like asking Wang Shu to support her, she would not be able to open her mouth.
Jiang Yiyan heard this and said with a smile: "I just said it casually, and I didn't really mean Huan Huan to do this."
Xu Huanhuan smiled reluctantly after hearing this.
Gao Yuanyuan and others didn’t think much after hearing Jiang Yiyan’s explanation.
Actually, Jiang Yiyan did not just say it casually, but used casual reasons to express her true intentions.
These words have a hint of excitement.
If Xu Huanhuan can't stand the excitement, he will really introduce Wang Shu to them, and the goal will be achieved.
If it's like this now, just use casual remarks to cover it up.
A few people chatted for a while and then changed the topic.
Gao Yuanyuan suddenly asked: "Is Director Wang not coming today?"
"No." Xu Huanhuan answered immediately, "Three days ago, auditions, auditions After that, Director Wang will audition in person.”
Sun Jiayi couldn't help but answer, "As expected of Director Wang, even if you don't come to the audition site, there are still so many people coming to audition."
Jiang Yiyan said with a smile: "Not only for Wang Director, I came here for the co-production of blockbusters, and even more so for our country's first commercial monster movie. "Have you all seen "Travel to Taipei," the country's first zombie movie?" >
“Li Binbin suddenly became a popular female star with the title of the first zombie movie in China.”
“I heard that Huayi was determined to give up Zhou Xun and devote all resources to Li Binbin. .”
"Now, Li Binbin is filming "Di Renjie" with the crew directed by Xu Ke with big-name movie stars such as Liu Dehua"
"If it were before, Li Binbin would not have such large film resources."
"Now, exclusive Huayi’s resources.”
“Now, although the co-production film in front of everyone is not a zombie film, it is still the first domestic monster film that can compare with the gimmick of the first domestic zombie film "Taipei Journey". "
"And, compared to "Travel to Taipei", this first domestic monster movie is even more top-notch."
"Because even if "Travel to Taipei" was released overseas, it is only a Chinese-language film after all."
""Pacific Rim" is different. It is a blockbuster co-produced by China and Hollywood."
>"After the film is completed, both in terms of promotion and release scale, it will be several levels higher than "Taipei Trip"."
"Not only that, for actors, there is also the opportunity to go international Opportunities on the stage.”
“Think about it, the first domestic monster commercial film directed by an Oscar-winning director has the potential to be on the international stage.”
"Whether it is the former or the latter, they are already sought-after resources."
"Now, the two are combined."
"This top-notch resource, Who wouldn’t be tempted? Anyone in the entertainment industry who is not stupid will come here to try their luck.”
The auditions for “Pacific Rim” are in full swing, and there are also enthusiastic discussions on the Internet.
“Holy shit! It turns out that this Sino-US co-production blockbuster directed by Wang is actually a monster movie!”
On the Tianya Forum, there are many hot posts currently being discussed.
“He is worthy of being the youngest Oscar-winning director in history. He made the first zombie movie in China, and now there is another monster movie!”
“Monster movie, our first in China. A commercial monster movie!”
Actually, if it were to be the first monster movie in China, “Pacific Rim” wouldn’t be around at all.
If nothing else, there was a movie called "Avalokitesvara and the Sea Dragon King" in 1985.
Although this movie has mythical qualities, it can also be classified as a monster movie.
However, most of the people online today are young people, and since the turn of the millennium, there really have been no monster movies in China.
So, "Pacific Rim" is called the first monster movie in China. Although it is not deserved, it is not impossible.
Not to mention, Wang Shu and Han Sanping had already planned to give "Pacific Rim" the gimmick of being China's first monster movie.
With "Travel to Taipei", the country's first zombie film, Zhu Yu is in front, and this will be another gimmick of the country's first monster film. The effect of its publicity is obvious.
Therefore, regardless of whether "Pacific Rim" is the first monster movie in China, it will eventually be crowned with the gimmick of being the first monster movie in China.
1L: "Damn it, I thought that Director Wang's co-production would most likely be an adaptation of a mythological story like "The King of Kung Fu". I didn't expect that he would make a monster movie. This is another first. What a pioneer, making history!”
2L: “Wow, it’s actually a monster movie! Is this an 18-year-old director who’s not good at making any kind of movie but a monster movie in our country? Can special effects technology be used to shoot this kind of movie? "
This is 2009. This person is right. There is indeed no corresponding technology at this stage.
But
3L: "What nonsense are you talking about upstairs? Director Wang is now an Oscar director, and this co-production is a co-production with a Hollywood film company. Our country does not have the corresponding film special effects technology, but Hollywood does. Are you right? I think you are smarter than Director Wang. You can think of this, but Director Wang can’t think of it?”
“Besides, can you think about why this monster movie is a co-production?”
< br>"Can you please continue to think about why Fox has joined Warner when Warner is already involved?"
"You know Warner and Fox, right? Both of them are one of the eight largest companies in Hollywood!"
In the original timeline, one of the producers of "Pacific Rim" was Warner Bros.
In addition to Warner, there are also Legendary Pictures and DDY.
It was jointly invested and produced by these three companies, and the post-production special effects were completed by Industrial Light and Magic.
Now, it has become a co-production, and Warner is also one of the producers.
Excluding the domestic China Film and Television, it becomes Warner and Fox.
Both these two companies, Warner and Fox, have cooperated with Industrial Light and Magic.
The world-famous Star Wars series "Star Wars" is co-produced by 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm.
Lucasfilm is the parent company of Industrial Light and Magic, and the post-production special effects of "Star Wars" were completed by Industrial Light and Magic.
In 2008, last year, Warner released the animation produced by Lucasfilm, "Star Wars: The Clone Wars."
Now, Warner and Fox are negotiating with Industrial Light and Magic, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, to hand over the post-production special effects of "Pacific Rim" to Industrial Light and Magic.
It is undeniable that this expense must be a lot.
But if Warner and Fox come forward, it doesn't mean that they can't have a good discussion and try to get a good price.
Coupled with the fact that it is a Sino-US co-production, the movie will be released worldwide.
Therefore, even if Industrial Light and Magic completes the post-production special effects production, it will be a big expense. Because the global market serves as a ticket warehouse, and it is directed by Oscar-winning director Wang Shu, it is not impossible to recover the cost. , or even make a fortune.
