680 The ambition of being a director, the harmony is too much, an unexpected choice
Time comes to September 16th, and the biggest thing for Xingchenhai today is the audition for "My Sassy Girl".
After "My Sassy Girl" was "forced to be published", driven by Jiang's popularity, it has been more than a week and has already sold nearly 100,000 copies.
And pirated copies were immediately available on the Internet, so many people already know the story of Sassy Girl.
At the same time, this story also spread to South Korea. Not surprisingly, this story not only cleared Jiang Yan's injustice, but also moved many young people and lovers.
As the novel became popular, the behind-the-scenes story of the movie "My Sassy Girl" also became widely known.
So everyone knew during the discussion that this was a book written by a terminally ill patient, telling the love story between him and his ex-girlfriend.
The author whose identity was hidden was a fan of Jiang Yan. By chance, Jiang Yan saw this fan's letter and got in touch.
After reading the original work, Jiang Yan decided to help him realize his wish. Of course, the attractiveness of the story is also an important reason - this is what Jiang Yan said himself.
At the beginning, Jiang Yan followed the author's wishes and wanted to choose a South Korean actress for the heroine.
But something unpleasant happened later. In order to cooperate with superstar Jiang Yan, a South Korean actress interfered with the casting and project progress, and even spread rumors on the Internet to slander Jiang Yan. So Jiang Yan gave up cooperating with South Korea in anger.
But after all, this project is to make fans' dreams come true, so this project will still continue.
In fact, so far, Jiang Yan's fictional "author" and his story have completed most of the work.
First of all, the IP "My Sassy Girl" is already Chinese. Although it is about a South Korean girlfriend, the author is Chinese, and many of the stories take place in China, so this is a Chinese story, even if it is not pure.
, but it is also a transnational love story.
In addition, Jiang Yan's domineering rejection of certain South Korean companies has also won the favor of many fans. Everyone thinks that Jiang Yan is tough enough. The "hard" here does not only refer to his attitude towards South Korea, because the current relations between China and South Korea
It's indeed the honeymoon period. People don't actually have the same national sentiments as Jiang Yan. On the contrary, there are more Kazakhs and Koreans.
The reason why fans think Jiang Yan is "tough" is that he is tough on foreign cooperation, such as with Laos, Neon and this time South Korea. This is completely different from the attitude shown by many domestic companies and celebrities nowadays.
Different, so this is the embodiment of Jiang Yan's strength. He is strong enough, so he is not afraid of any situation. This is definitely in line with the personality of the first person in the country. Otherwise, it would be disappointing for a superstar like Jiang Yan to be submissive to foreign countries.
While Jiang Yan is "hard", he also shows enough gentleness.
In order to realize the dreams of dying fans, you can still take care of the fans' emotions despite encountering obstacles and practice "a promise worth a thousand dollars". This will definitely increase your fans greatly.
Not only that, Jiang Yan also showed that he is serious enough about movies.
Although "My Sassy Girl" is just a dream movie and the future is unclear, Jiang Yan still made a big budget and started to gain weight regardless of his image. This is professional! People who are professional and serious can be anywhere.
get respect.
Of course, this kind of behavior will also make many fans follow suit, so Xingchenhai has received many similar "wishes" these days.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan had already prepared for this. He asked Wu Yong to issue an announcement on the official website of Xingchenhai. The announcement first posted the data. In three days, more than 10,000 wishes were made, which was simply scary. Wu Yong then expressed his attitude. These
Wish Stars and Seas will carefully screen. If there is someone who really needs help, Stars and Seas will help according to the situation. However, after all, Stars and Seas is not a charity and cannot satisfy anyone. Jiang Yan is not a monkey, and he is not so hairy.
, so I also appeal to all fans to calm down, lest things get ugly.
After the announcement is issued, the effect will definitely not be visible immediately, but with this announcement, it can be regarded as a basis.
Anyway, I said it and my attitude is on point. If someone really wants to cause trouble, the public opinion weapons in the hands of Hengdian Pizza Hut and Jiang Yan will not be simple.
"Little Fatty Fan, you're here too? You're too fat. No, you're too charming. You're not suitable. Go back. What? You're here already? Then go sit down in the No. 1 warehouse and I'll talk to you later.
Don't interrupt my work and pout, little vixen.
"Taohong, why are you here too? Have you made any progress with Xu Shan? Soon? That's good.
Sorry, you're not suitable. Okay, let's talk back.
"Jing Qiaoqiao? Let me go. Why don't you come here to entertain me? Try it? Okay, come on, make a more sultry expression.
Sorry.
"Zhang Tong, I know you, Li Zi, okay, what about that, let's have a conversation.
Don't leave tonight, Li Zi will come back and have dinner together.
"Xie Na, huh? Xie Na? It's really you. Do you and Liu Ye know each other? Oh, it's your boyfriend. He's here? This guy didn't even call me when he came. That's fine. Let's have dinner together tonight.
"Sissi? Why are you back? Are you on vacation? Don't make trouble. Didn't you see the age requirement? 18 to 25 years old. Okay, okay, let's give it a try.
Come, turn back, and walk in unison.
".
The audition for "My Sassy Girl" has recruited almost all the actresses between the ages of 18 and 25 in the mainland entertainment industry, except Liu Qianqian, the troublemaker.
In addition to those from the mainland, there are also many female stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a few from South Korea. Some of these people came by themselves, and some were recommended by bosses from other companies. Jiang Yan even met a few coal bosses who recommended this.
The little episode also made Jiang Yan look forward to the coming era of coal bosses.
Ayumi Hamasaki also came, and he even pretended to bring two "little brothers" with him. They were two pretty but not famous artists, so Hamasaki came not so much to audition as to see his lover.
In fact, Ayumi Hamasaki is also quite suitable. Although the image is not very close, he is very popular.
Isn't there a saying in the film industry that if you can't find a good actor, then look for a popular star, at least with quality and market, you have to catch one no matter what.
Hey, am I, Jiang Yan, going to be reduced to this?
Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh, fortunately this kind of thing would not happen in the sea of stars, so this was just a random thought out of boredom.
Overall, this audition was as expected. Among the current and future famous actresses, there were indeed few who made it to the next round.
Among amateurs, there are even fewer. Even if the two personalities are indeed close, they are just personalities.
However, although the situation was not very good, Jiang Yan did not waste these people.
After the first day of auditions, Jiang Yan asked Wu Yong to leave everyone's phone numbers. There were many projects in Stars and Seas, so I would just introduce those that could be introduced.
For example, Fan Bayi didn't come for nothing. She got a role as the second female lead in "Hedong Lion Roar" from Jiang Yan, which was also her original role.
Fan Bayi was very happy and wanted to take the opportunity to hug her and give her a kiss.
Jiang Yan was surprised. This girl and he are now in a dotted line state, and she is actually more unrestrained than in a solid line state. But when you see the white line that is more than one centimeter thick, you will understand that this girl has a crush on me, so now it is liberation.
personality?
But this is no reason to be taken advantage of by her, he has to keep himself clean!
At dinner in the evening, all the people who came were Jiang Yan's acquaintances and their friends, and Jiang Yan was hosting the meal in Jiang Yan's territory, so the meal was very lively.
This also makes an audition feel like a communication conference.
The network of people has been deepened and resources have been exchanged. It can be said that everyone has gained something.
During the meal, someone also asked what kind of heroine Jiang Yan wanted.
Jiang Yan also "told the truth", saying that the "author" has someone he likes, and there has been a verbal agreement before, and Jiang Yan himself is quite satisfied, but this time South Korea is really disgusting to him, and he doesn't know what will happen next.
What else will happen, so I simply give up. As for future cooperation with South Korea, let’s talk about it later.
Jiang Yan did not give up on the cooperation with South Korea. After all, it is still the same sentence. The general trend of the country is to embrace the world, so if a leader like Jiang Yan behaves too conservatively, it will definitely not work. On the other hand, entertainment
The dinner party is a frequent place for accidents, and Jiang Yan doesn't know if anyone among the group of people who came today will go out and say something.
So after briefly expressing his attitude, Jiang Yan stopped talking about this topic.
The audition on the second day was still very boring.
With the support of his inherent impression, among the more than 600 people who came to audition, Jiang Yan really didn't see anyone who could perfectly perform the role of Jun Ji-hyun.
This feeling is like seeing Mr. Lu’s Mr. Guan, and it’s hard to like anyone else.
So he had a feeling, that is: it doesn't taste right anyway, so he might as well find the original version.
This feeling became stronger as the audition came to an end, so at this time Jiang Yan really hoped to get a "big memory eraser" skill, or get a "fixed-point memory eraser" or something like that.
High-tech equipment.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered that there seems to be a movie in Hollywood that can get this thing. It's just right. I'm going to the United States in a few days, so I'll wear it on the way.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the audition ended. There were still no surprises. Two days of hard work were in vain. Jiang Yan also made a decision, that is, to choose among his wife and his own artists.
As for the three artists from other companies who have entered the second round of auditions, let's arrange the roles nearby, whether it is a project in Xiangjiang, Xingchenhai's own or an investment project, anyway, you can't let people come in vain, lest people say that you auditioned
Put on a show.
In fact, Jiang Yan still holds on to a glimmer of hope at this time. For example, if Jun Ji-hyun suddenly appears and actively strives for opportunities, this will also add another interesting aspect to the behind-the-scenes story of "My Sassy Girl".
But obviously, Jun Ji-hyun's ihq company did not seize the last opportunity.
Because the other party has only communicated on the phone until the incident came out. Wu Yong also told the other party before the audition started that the rights and wrongs were very clear. If ihq did not participate in the slander, then the cooperation conditions would be adjusted back to what was said at the beginning, but
Even so, the other party is still hesitating and has not taken any full actions, but only expressed its condemnation of Song Fang.
In fact, Jiang Yan feels that he is still soft-hearted. As long as the other party is more sincere, Jiang Yan can forgive him. After all, the other party is not entirely responsible, and can even be said to be a victim. The most important thing is that Quan Ji-hyun is indeed tough enough.
But the result was still disappointing. Jiang Yan didn't know if the man named Zheng was really overly controlling or something. Anyway, Jiang Yan would definitely not get used to this kind of stupid trick, so he just killed Nian Xiang.
, and this also made him truly feel for the first time the regret of a famous director not being able to get the destined actor he wanted. So, my next step is to be a director? Jiang Yan thinks he can give it a try.
"The 'author' will make the decision these days, and the rest of the department will be ready, so be it."
Finally, Jiang Yan conveyed the words of the "author" and announced that the audition was over, and "Song Mingxi" naturally fell to Li Binbin, the first sister of the stars.
This was Jiang Yan's decision, but he had to inform his wives.
After all, Jiang Yan auditioned extensively, and in addition to outsiders, the other five wives of his family also expressed their desire to act, so this internal conflict still needs to be resolved, or in other words, Jiang Yan wants to strengthen his husband.
After all, Li Binbin is the first sister, so she must have priority in her career.
So Jiang Yan announced the decision in front of the six ladies who finally gathered together that night.
But what Jiang Yan didn't expect was that Li Binbin actually became humble: "I think Xiao Chenchen and Yuanyuan are more suitable for me, especially Xiao Chenchen. Her face is softer and she can perform that kind of feeling. Besides, "Swordsman"
"Jianghu" has just become popular, which can be regarded as a guarantee for the box office."
Jiang Yan was confused, so Xiao Chenchen said: "I think Yuanyuan may be more suitable, or Wenwen may be suitable."
Jia Jingwen also raised her hand and said: "I can't do it, but I think Li Zi can actually do it. She is so beautiful."
Lizi: "I can't play such an exaggerated role. Bingbing or Yuanyuan are better."
Zhou Zhiruo: "I, if I can't act, I'd better be Bingbing.
Or Xiao Chenchen can also do it."
Six people recommended each other, except for Sister Yu who was automatically ignored because she was older, but Sister Yu had no idea and became a host instead.
"Xiao Chenchen's image is more suitable, but like Bingbing, she can't play such exaggerated roles, especially Bingbing. She is the first sister, so her acting career cannot become so big. Similarly, Wenwen's acting career has also
Definitely, she can’t play this kind of role. Yuanyuan can actually do it relatively well, but she has no acting skills. Needless to say, Lizi, she is the one who can’t play the role of exaggeration the most.”
Sister Yu commented one by one, and several ladies nodded in agreement.
This made Jiang Yan's jaw never close, and he shouted in his heart: This is too harmonious for him!
Such a much-anticipated movie role was actually offered instead of up for grabs. So why did everyone say they were interested before?
But when Jiang Yan looked at Sister Yu, he realized that this was the eldest son of the family.
In the end, the discussion about "Song Mingxi" lasted for an hour, and finally the eldest lady, Sister Yu, made the decision.
"We have discussed it."
Jiang Yan: "Who plays?"
Sister Yu looked at Jiang Yan and smiled slightly: "Hello Chen!"
