In addition to director Chen Guozhi, Lu Chen also met other main cast members of "The Swordsman".
"The Swordsman", the first film of the "Swordsman" movie, is definitely star-studded in terms of the cast. Lu Chen, Filia Chen, Liu Gangsheng and Tan Hong are all well-deserved big names, plus
The combination of director Chen Guozhi can be said to be the most anticipated domestic blockbuster this year.
In addition, Shi Fang intends to guest star as Blue Phoenix in this movie, adding another shining name to the cast list of "Sword Out of China".
In addition to several big-name protagonists, the important supporting roles in the film are not unknowns. Gu Yongjun who plays Yue Buqun, Ma Rongzhen who plays Qu Yang, and Sha Jingyao who plays Zuo Lengchan are all real veterans.
Bones, fame and acting skills.
In fact, since Chenfei Media released the news about the filming of the movie "The Swordsman", many entertainment agencies and even celebrity artists have come to us to recommend themselves. Even for an ordinary supporting role, some people have taken the lead.
Chenfei Media naturally selects the best and selects senior actors who can match the roles. In the selection of young actors, it basically does not consider the so-called fresh meat that is popular nowadays, and pays more attention to "cost-effectiveness".
There were also several agents of young actors who showed up uninvited, but the conditions they offered left people speechless.
There is a very popular young actor in his twenties who told Chenfei Media through his agent that he is willing to play the role of Lin Pingzhi. His appearance and temperament are quite suitable for the character, and his market and commercial value is also high enough.
Lu Xi was also a little moved at that time.
But the agent's request was 50 million + 5% box office share, which made it impossible for Lu Xi to continue the negotiation.
If the box office of "Sword Out of Huashan" is calculated as 1 billion, without counting the cost, 50 million will be allocated to this person. Adding the basic salary of 50 million, it will be a full 100 million.
If this 100 million spent on filming, production and post-production special effects can bring in box office results that are not as good as the actor's market appeal, then Chenfei Media can really just go to sleep and stop filming anything in the future.
Movie.
And if you give him 100 million, how much will Lu Chen, Filia Chen, and Liu Gangsheng want?
So even though the agent said it was possible to negotiate, Lu Xi still rejected him outright, so he mentioned it to Lu Chen afterwards and didn't take it to heart at all.
Of course, Lu Chen is very supportive of his sister. He has always been in charge of film and television dramas and never spends huge amounts of money on the selection of actors. Instead, he pays more attention to investment in pre-production and post-production.
The most important thing is that in the film and television industry, there are many actors who are top-notch but not well-known. Their salary charges are often very reasonable, and their professionalism is far better than those so-called fresh actors who are spoiled by fans.
Similarly, there are a large number of people struggling at the bottom who are even willing to give up all remuneration and benefits for a small role, all they want is an opportunity.
Lu Chen's reputation as the "Golden Hand-Made Star-Making Machine" is well known in the industry.
In the end, the role of Lin Pingzhi was taken by a newcomer who had graduated from the Beijing Film Academy two years ago. Before joining the crew of "The Swordsman", he had only played a few supporting roles in a few film and television dramas, which was barely better than none.
The one-liners in the lines are stronger.
It was not easy for him to get this important role, and the story could even be made into a TV series.
But there are also people who sneak in easily.
"Brother Lu Chen, sister Fei'er..."
A bald head popped up from behind Chen Guozhi and greeted Lu Chen and Filia Chen coquettishly.
Lu Chen took a closer look and couldn't help but smile. What a pretty little nun!
Dressed in crescent-white monk robes, with her black hair shaved off, this young nun with a shy face and no makeup is none other than Mu Xiaochu, who plays the role of Yi Lin.
According to the script, Yilin is a very important supporting female character in "The Swordsman", and her role is only slightly less than that of the first supporting actress Yue Lingshan. Logically speaking, the choice of actors should be very cautious.
But when Lu Chen wrote the script and wrote about Yilin, the first thing that came to mind was Mu Xiaochu, and he even incorporated Mu Xiaochu's characteristics into the character creation.
Of course Mu Xiaochu can also take on this role. She is the soul of msn, the number one girl group in the domestic pop music scene. She has shot many music videos and commercials, and has also appeared in many film and television dramas. She has no shortage of performances.
experience and talent.
The most important thing is that she is recognized by fans as Lu Chen’s sister and everyone’s sister.
A character like Yilin who is so heart-warming and pitiful is the perfect fit for her.
What Lu Chen didn't expect was that in order to play this role well, she actually shaved off her favorite long hair!
Lu Chen couldn't help but ask: "Xiaochu, are you taking a makeup photo?"
Mu Xiaochu nodded and asked shyly: "Does it look ugly if I shave my head?"
In fact, with the current makeup and special effects technology, it is okay for Mu Xiaochu not to shave her hair, but she made such a decision in order to pursue the most realistic effect.
"How can it be ugly?"
Before Lu Chen could answer, Filia Chen stepped forward with a smile and took her hand: "I am the most beautiful little nun I have ever seen, and the most beautiful in all the movies!"
Chen Guozhi said with a smile: "Xiaochu is very good, he is a good material."
This great director seldom praises people, especially newcomers. It is not easy to get a word of praise from him.
But Chen Guozhi also likes Mu Xiaochu. The girl has a great personality and is willing to work hard, so she naturally encourages her.
Mu Xiaochu felt even more embarrassed.
And the young actors around her are all jealous of her. With a "brother" like Lu Chen, in today's entertainment industry, you can have everything you want, and you can get whatever you want.
It happened that even Filia Chen regarded her as her younger sister and did not become jealous because of her relationship with Lu Chen. In the past, someone had hyped up so-called scandals and was slapped severely in the face.
Mu Xiaochu is so lucky!
"Teacher Lu, Sister Fei'er..."
The next moment, another beautiful girl emerged from the crowd, it was Tong Xinyao.
Tong Xinyao is considered a member of the family. She signed a contract with Chenfei Media. Not only did she release a best-selling single, but she also starred in "My Love from the Star" and is regarded as one of the brightest new stars in the entertainment industry.
This time Chenfei Media invested in the filming of the "Swordsman" trilogy, and she naturally got a big piece of cake to star in the first female supporting role Yue Lingshan! ——
