Chapter 125 Casting, Jing Tian
Han Sanping hopes to make this project public, and Shanghai Film, Enlight, Wanda, etc. all agree.
Since most people have this idea, Lin Nan will not express his opinion.
In the large conference room of China Film Group, everyone participated in this press conference.
“China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda, Enlight, and Aerospace Science and Technology Group jointly held a new film project approval conference in Beijing with director Lin Nan.”
"The new movie is a hard-core science fiction blockbuster with an initial budget of 300 million yuan. Additional investment will not be ruled out in the future."
"According to the press conference, the script this time is the one that 20th Century Fox has chosen. . This script is written by Director Lin and will be directed by himself. It tells the story of a rescue operation across space..."
Many media have questioned whether such a production can be made in China, but it will not happen in the end. Do you know where the hundreds of millions of dollars have gone?
A project worth US$700 million is still undergoing auditions, whetting the appetites of a large number of actors; another science fiction blockbuster worth US$300 million has been approved, and the entertainment industry was buzzing with excitement for a while.
Lin Nan’s cell phone has been turned off. From the moment the press conference ended, several investors were probably not in peace.
Liu Yifei puffed out her cheeks and looked at Lin Nan, very angry.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
The girl looked angry and pitiful.
"Have you ever heard of an astronaut who is a girl in her twenties? All she can do for you is a supporting role, which will not help you at all."
Lin Nan Holding Liu Yifei's hand, she said warmly.
"But I just want to partner with you."
Liu Yifei said unwillingly.
"Don't you also want to star in Hua Yi's co-production? She's the heroine. If you can't get it, how about you come to my place again."
Lin Nan promised comfortingly.
"Okay, don't lie to me." Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and finally smiled.
"I won't lie to you. If I lie to you, you will dump me, haha."
"Okay, what you think is quite beautiful."
......
Hua Yi’s cake is hard for most people to eat, but Lin Nan’s film casting is relatively fair because he doesn’t have his own artists.
This time the casting is still in the hands of Lin Nan. The actors submit their resumes, several investors can recommend people, and some audition invitations are also sent out.
"The Martian" can almost be said to be a one-man show with a male protagonist. In view of the general age requirements for astronauts, Lin Nan set a special threshold for this.
"The male protagonist is required to be between 30 and 45 years old, with a strong and burly physique..."
...
Many agencies have received the news, "The Martian" The casting requirements were also sent out at the same time, and this operation was much more open than Hua Yi's film.
“Didn’t Yawen receive Lin Nan’s letter?” Wang Jinghua asked the assistant.
"Sister Hua, look at those role requirements. Yawen's age and temperament are completely inappropriate. Even the male supporting role is required to be around thirty years old..."
"In this way, Lin Nan didn't bring her with her this time. Yawen?"
"Yes."
"Well, the production of 300 million cannot be based on emotion. Who else is available in the company? Let me know who is suitable. Let’s try.”
“Okay, I’ll inform you now.”
Lin Nan was thinking about the adapted script and thinking about which actors to send audition invitations to.
In the script I filmed, there are no more shady things. The ground space agency monitoring center rushed to rescue the protagonist the first moment it discovered that he was alive.
Removing the dark side, the plot completely revolves around the male protagonist's self-rescue and rescue.
The six-member Mars team, four men and two women, are the main actors. The rest of the Earth part has more actors but slightly less roles.
The team of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group is really powerful. No wonder it is a key unit of the country. The team of twenty people throws out various design drawings one by one, which is very efficient.
"Infrastructure, we gave it to a state-owned enterprise, and we have also reported it to the relevant departments there. The procedures are all in place. We can start construction at any time to build the Mars base and various cabins."
"How long will it take?" Lin Nan asked the people from China Film.
"It will take more than a month. Don't worry, Director Lin, the efficiency of our infrastructure is not something to be boasted about. In addition, the training hall of the space center has been communicated with, and training can start immediately after the role is determined."< br>
“As for the construction on the Hongya side, I’ll ask China Film to keep an eye on it first. It must be based on the drawings of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group.”
“This is no problem, Mr. Han has repeatedly warned me. Yes, nothing can go wrong.”
After contacting the China Film Project Team, Lin Nan took the time to look at the casting.
The number of audition resumes we have received so far is more than five times that of the last "Time Cruise", and they are still being sent in a steady stream.
China Film and Television, Han Sanping are receiving Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi.
"Mr. Han, I need your help no matter what this time. Hua Yi's film is a co-production, and there are requirements for personnel according to the rules. We may not be able to squeeze in, but this "Mars" , I still hope that actors from Hong Kong can participate..."
"The most I can do is recommend someone for you to audition. It's impossible to make an appointment. Lin Nan doesn't like this."
< br>
Han Sanping said.
There was another sentence he didn't say, unless it was someone Lin Nan had a good relationship with. But this time it seems that he didn't even take care of his classmate Zhu Yawen.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Mr. Han."
"Who do you want me to recommend?" Han Sanping asked.
“My godson.”
...
Lin Nan didn't expect that someone would really go through the back door. Looking at Prince Long in front of him, he was a little speechless.
Jiang Wen was so unreliable that he just brought the person here.
"Director Jiang's film is finished?"
"Come soon, Director Lin."
Although the director in front of him was two years younger than himself, he did not dare to underestimate him at all. He was one of the few commercial film directors in the Mainland and the only director in the 200 million club. Jackie Chan also told him not to care too much about gains and losses, just treat it as a familiar face.
"You should know the requirements sent by the crew?"
"I know, Director Lin doesn't need to be embarrassed. I will just try it out. It's good if I succeed. I can accept it if you brush it off..."
That's all. Lin Nan chatted with him for a while, asked him to say hello to Jackie Chan on his behalf, and finally sent it out.
Hua Yi and those two were very thieves. They were still auditioning for their own blockbuster, so they sent their actors to Lin Nan's side.
After the deadline came, Lin Nan asked people to stop counting resumes. There were too many to read, unless they were pushed by several investors.
In order to reasonably control the proportion of actor costs in production, Lin Nan excluded all high-paying big-name actors in advance.
The resumes of many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are one-size-fits-all because Mandarin is not standard.
"Hu Jun, Zhang Hanyu, Fan Bingbing..."
"...Zeng Li, Chen Minghao, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo...Sun Honglei, Xu Zheng, Liu Ye, Jiang Wenli..."
After a circle, they are all familiar names. Jiang Wenli made Lin Nan even more dumbfounded, and she was pregnant.
Although the selection of actors this time was made by Lin Nan, the results also need to be informed to several other parties. If the plate is big, supervision is needed.
"That's it, notify the audition."
Lin Nan pointed at the more than a hundred names on the A4 paper on the table and said, these were the ones he spent a whole day screening.
"Okay, Director Lin."
At present, actors in the film and television industry are running to two audition locations, one is Huayi and the other is Lin Nan's.
......
"Director Lin, the person recommended by China Film Group is here."
Nicholas Tse is the biological son of the Hong Kong industry, he has been since childhood, but he is really not suitable for Lin Nan's role, whether it is age, temperament or Hong Kong popularity.
The key is that he can't even compare to Prince Long in terms of politeness.
Chen Baoguo's temperament is really good. If you sit there, you will at least be at the official level.
This was specially invited by Lin Nan.
"Teacher Baoguo, this space director is very suitable for you. He will sit in the rear and stabilize the morale of the military. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Haha, you said so, of course I have no problem. ”
Han Sanping and Lin Nan had a phone call, and Ying Huang was still a little emotional after brushing off Nicholas Tse.
"Mr. Han, I think it's best to issue a document in the future. If you want to star in mainland movies, please let them speak Mandarin well. And with his temperament, he can't play an astronaut."
Huang Xiaoming ran out while the crew was filming other scenes.
"I need to go to the space center for training. Are you sure the crew of "The Deer and the Cauldron" can let you out?"
"As long as you give me a supporting role, one of the characters in the Mars Team, I will Climb out.”
Huang Xiaoming made his promise without even thinking about it.
Lin Nan has a really good impression of Huang Xiaoming. He is of the right age. As long as he doesn't go astray, he should be quite handsome in a space suit and military uniform.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Nan nodded, "Remember to keep it a secret. If you can't arrive for training then, just pretend it didn't happen today."
"Don't worry, unless that day I’m gone, hahaha.”
“It’s better not to say that.”
Lin Nan never expected the person Wanda sent.
"Tiantian?"
"Brother Lin Nan, um, Director Lin."
Jingtian, who was smiling happily after entering the door, suddenly thought of something, He quickly changed his words.
“Your way is really wild.”
"What?"
"Nothing, where is Mr. Lu?"
"Uncle Lu is waiting outside, let me come up alone." Jing Tian said honestly.
“What a cunning person.” Lin Nan muttered in his heart.
"Lin, Brother Lin, I'm here to audition."
Jing Tian whispered, holding the hem of his clothes with both hands, having nowhere to put them.
There are two main female characters. One is the captain of the Mars team. The actors have very high temperament requirements and must have the aura of a big sister.
The other one is a system operator, and his requirements are not high, but Jingtian is indeed too young and looks very immature.
Lin Nan was deep in thought.
Jing Tian was a little anxious, "Brother Lin, I can endure hardships. No matter how intense the training is or how tired I am, I can persevere. If I don't do a good job, you can scold me..."
Seeing Jing Tian's nervous look, Lin Nan couldn't bear to refuse. If she relied on the makeup artist to make Jing Tian mature into a five or six year old, it should be no problem.
"Go back."
Now Jing Tian was really about to cry, "Director Lin, I can really do this, I..."
"I am "You go back and wait for the news, and I will think of a solution for you."
If you really cry and go out with red eyes, Lin Nan will not be able to explain it even if the media talks nonsense.
The girl relaxed a little and looked back at Lin Nan three times a step.
"Brother Lin, I will go back first..."
"Go."
Lin Nan watched Jing Tian leave, took out the phone and called I gave it to Ye Ning, who said with a smile that he would take care of the little girl. He said a nice word...
