Chapter 180, The Casting of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"
Li Liguo looked at the legendary agent Wang Jinghua with great interest.
The founder and current chairman of Chengtian Jiahe is, at this moment, drinking and chatting with himself in the VIP seat at the celebration banquet of "The World's Number One".
Celebration banquet.
It can also be considered a 'hunting' opportunity for directors, producers, and talent agencies.
Maybe hunting each other.
Maybe it's the actors who put in great performances here.
They are all their "hunting" targets. "You don't seem to like Xiao Li very much." Li Liguo said with interest: "For a young actor with potential like him, there should be a mountain of olive branches. He should also be within your recruitment range."
Young, good image and potential.
Like Chengtian Jiahe, a large cultivation company.
Definitely like this Definitely like this very much.
"It's not that we haven't tried to recruit him, but he is too arrogant and looks down on people like us from a small family." Wang Jinghua said sarcastically.
"You guys keep calling Jiahe a small family, but there are no big families in the whole capital."
At this time, Li Liguo joked.
I finally understood their "festival".
Cheng Tian Jia He wanted to recruit Li Yun, but was rejected by Li Yun.
What kind of place is Jiahe? So many people, so many actors begged to get in, only to be rejected.
It feels like a rich man giving delicious food to a beggar.
In the end, the beggar refused.
This feeling of being rejected was hard for Wang Jinghua to accept and made her feel resentful.
but.
Wang Jinghua was not speaking without purpose. She was still not optimistic about Li Yun's future - even if Li Yun got the role of the Fire Cloud Evil God in the Hong Kong movie "Kung Fu", so what.
The entire Hong Kong film industry has not been able to thrive for many years, and Stephen Chow himself is getting older. To put it more extremely, even if Li Yun has some relationship with Stephen Chow, with Stephen Chow's current popularity, he cannot get along with others in the circle.
If an actor like Liu Songren had come to the mainland earlier, he would not have to wait until he was over 50 years old to get the role of Zhu Wusi. Perhaps he would have had a chance to be taken seriously again.
But it's just a possibility. His age means that he can only be an 'old actor' if he continues to grow.
At this time, Wang Jinghua said.
"If he doesn't lean on a big tree, he will always be crushed by other big trees. This circle is huge, and there are many actors who want to be famous and work hard, and have good acting skills. He will eventually be washed away by the waves."
"He has a pretty good relationship with Zhang Da Huzi."
"Zhang Da Huzi is just one person, but we are a company, a group, and a family. How can we be the same?"
"That's true."
Li Liguo didn't say much, and didn't want to interfere.
Wang Jinghua continued.
"If he wants to play in your "Chinese Paladin", you have to watch him carefully. Don't waste a good role by just filling in the numbers. Actors like him are quite unstable in their performance."
"Hmm." Li Liguo did not comment: "Drink, drink."
at this time.
Wang Jinghua's eyes were indifferent.
Since I can't use the male actors with potential.
Then don't get up in the future, which is the best choice for yourself.
We also have a new generation to cultivate.
"As for the role of Tang Yu, our little Peng really wants it."
"Hahaha, let's drink first at the table."
"You will be satisfied with our gift."
There are no auditions for casting in “The Chinese Paladin”.
The director has absolute choice.
When he heard there was a 'gift', Li Liguo smiled brightly.
We are all ordinary people.
"And we can give you additional resources here as well."
"Oh?" This made Li Liguo a little interested.
"My backers can provide a lot of resources to help our Chinese Paladin reach a higher level in terms of review, publicity, and other aspects."
"Your backer. It seems the rumors are true."
"hehe."
Wang Jinghua did not comment on this.
Without a backer, how could it be possible to be so successful in the Beijing circle.
Rumor has it that his backer is called Li Yuxuan, a big shot in the Beijing circle, and his wife is a leader of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
His elder brother's name is Li Modu.
A member of the Li family.
Right now.
Li Yun received a lot of olive branches, of course, they were all film and television resources.
The resources of the agency are not there.
After knowing that Li Yun had rejected Chengtian Jiahe, no company came to him, so everyone should give each other some dignity.
Li Yun also looked at these movie resources, some of which featured him playing the leading male role - such as the Lamp Grass Monk in "The Lamp Grass Monk" and Ximen Qing in "The Golden Bottle".
The pay for erotic films is not low, about 400,000 yuan.
You have to know that even if the pay has increased after the broadcast of "The World's Number One", the normal price should be in the range of 150,000 to 250,000.
400,000 is very high.
Of course, being high does not come without a price.
Li Yun needs to make a small sacrifice.
What is sacrificed is naturally the pure body.
If he just wanted to be a male Bodhisattva, Li Yun felt that since he had a name, a surname and a physical examination report, it would not be so difficult to reject him.
But erotic films are basically equivalent to trading one's future for money when one is short of money, and both men and women are basically destroying their own careers.
For example, the famous Hong Kong actor Xu Mianjiang, because he owed a lot of debts from stock speculation, he shamefully went into the adult film industry, otherwise he would have been an actor with a bright future. Looking back on these things in the entertainment industry, the reason for lack of money is nothing more than gambling and stock speculation . Li Yun didn't know what to say about this. Joking aside, Li Yun rejected all the offers for adult films. He would never do such a thing as destroying his own future. Besides that.
Li Yun also saw Li Liguo. After thinking for a while, he came over to toast and exchange cups.
"Director Li."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Oh? You know me?"
"When we were filming The Lotus Lantern, didn't you and Mr. Zhang come to visit the set?"
Li Liguo was a little surprised.
At that time, Li Yun ignored them, so how come he seemed to know so clearly that they were visiting the set.
Li Liguo even said at that time that Li Yun was impolite.
“So you were watching.”
And Li Yun said.
"Yes, although Erlang Zhenjun was there at the time, it doesn't mean I wasn't there. I saw it clearly too."
Li Liguo didn't know how to answer.
What he said makes some sense but I don't know where the truth comes from.
It's just this wonderful feeling.
"Director Li, please think carefully about what I said." At this time, Wang Jinghua also stood up and left the table early, but glanced at Li Yun.
Li Yun and Li Liguo were chatting and didn't notice her expression - but that doesn't mean no one noticed.
At this time, the 'scholar' glanced at Wang Jinghua who was leaving and said.
"She doesn't seem to like you very much."
"oh"
Li Yun didn't want to say anything either.
I'm not money.
How can I make everyone like me?
Li Liguo, chief director and producer of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
This work is adapted from a popular game in Taiwan. It is a groundbreaking work of ancient idol drama and the first work adapted from a game.
In the circle, because it is a bit rare, there was a response, but not much. This depends on the production and distribution company, Tangren Film and Television. Although his previous works produced and distributed had a certain degree of popularity, they did not cause much response and feedback.
The main reason is that the circle is too cold and the production company is not hot either.
Tangren should be considered a second-tier production company with its own artists.
However, Chengtian Jiahe was forward-looking and was the first to come into contact with the book and saw the highlights of it at a glance.
It can be considered forward-looking. After reading the script plan, Wang Jinghua took prompt action and went to contact Li Liguo in person. So far, she has achieved quite good results.
Costume idol dramas tend to target female audiences and focus on emotional conflicts.
This perfectly fits with Jiahe's plan to lay the foundation for costume idol dramas : "As a company in Shanghai, I don't know if this Shanghai circle can produce a true dragon." At this moment, in front of Wang Jinghua was a handsome middle-aged man who was reading a newspaper and looked gentle and elegant.
Wang Jinghua sighed, he looks exactly like his brother.
"Mr. Li"
Wang Jinghua was extremely respectful to Mr. Li, not only because his elder brother was Li Modu, who was himself a third-generation Chihong.
Also because he is a powerful investor and his wife is a leader in the General Administration, she has all kinds of foresight in information. At this time, facing Wang Jinghua.
Li Yuxuan said.
"Okay, we believe in your ability, so go ahead and do it. Anyway, don't cause any public opinion in the near future. This is the bottom line."
"I understand."
Wang Jinghua swallowed.
Li Yuxuan's elder brother, Li Modu, is an artist with both virtue and talent.
If all goes well, he will win a lot of awards for "Battle of Long Lake".
In addition to my artistic achievements, I will also be the first filmmaker to receive the Medal of Model of the Times since the 21st century. During this period.
But there must not be any public opinion problems. Once they have public opinion problems, these little monkeys following behind will not be able to bear it. "We all understand that there are many things we definitely cannot and will not do. At present, many main roles of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" have been divided up by their own artists, but there are also roles we can play, such as the second male lead, and some highlight roles in the script. We can all play them." Wang Jinghua also stated her goal at this time, the role of the script target.
All the new people who need to be promoted are within her plan.
Anyway, in this drama, she must catch the wave of female-oriented emotional costume dramas.
The core conflict is no longer a feud between two factions, or a fight between two swords.
But it's about love, separation and entanglement.
At this time, Li Yuxuan nodded.
"Okay, I won't say any more. We have been keeping a low profile behind the scenes recently. At least, we have to stay behind the scenes for the time being and not cause any trouble for my brother."
"I'll also remind my nephew, his beloved son."
Li Yuxuan had a headache. Li Modu's son Wang Jinghua didn't dare to say or ask (End of this chapter)
