Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei are in a very strange state now.
On the one hand, I can't believe that Tang An was so lucky to pick a hit movie, and on the other hand, I feel a pity that Hua Yi missed that movie "The Ex-Raiders".
However, Teng Huatao, who was filming "Waiting for the Wind" in Pokhara, Nepal's second largest city, was really depressed beyond measure.
"Click!"
"Everyone, take a break first and then start shooting in an hour."
Less than half an hour after receiving the news, Teng Huatao was not in the right state and simply called a halt.
He called the executive director.
"Old Zhang, please tell the actors about the scene first. I have something to do."
Walking aside, Teng Huatao made several calls in succession to find out what this "Ex's Guide" was all about.
It took almost an hour before he learned the details of the movie from several friends.
"Why!"
What he was worried about happened. After all, Tang An was not such a generous person, so he specially arranged a movie of the same type to compete with Teng Huatao on Double Eleven.
From the moment Tang An announced the movie "Lost in Thailand: Detective Chinatown", Teng Huatao saw clearly that Tang An was definitely a person who was determined to retaliate and would not allow those below to provoke him.
If you say this is not aimed at him, you won’t even believe it!
What he had been worried about finally happened. Although Teng Huatao was a little nervous, he was relieved that he didn't have to think about it all day.
This doesn't mean that he doesn't like "Strategy of the Ex", which has a pure cast of newcomers. A film that Tang An can take a liking to will definitely have his selling points.
At the beginning, he himself did not expect that "Thirty-day Love" would sell 350 million in box office. His original biggest expectation was to exceed 100 million.
However, after last year's success, he has become more confident in his own ability.
This "Waiting for the Wind" basically follows the plot of "Thirty-three Days of Love".
"Thirty-three Days of Love" is about the laughter and curses between the male and female protagonists, and finally they get true love.
"Waiting for the Wind" is similar. The hero and heroine form a tourist group with several people to start a "happy journey" in Nepal. However, the tourists in the group all have their own life problems.
The tour group has been troubled from the beginning, but after experiencing a series of incidents such as disbanding shortly after its establishment, a power outage in the hotel, living alone in a small hotel on the top of the mountain, encountering local riots, etc., the tour group has
The members look after each other and understand each other, and everyone shows their truest self.
Although the male and female protagonists were not together, it was a bit regretful to stand there waiting for the wind to come in the end.
However, it also left the audience with beautiful wild thoughts. Teng Huatao had been imagining that beautiful scene in his mind for more than a month. He firmly believed that it would definitely become the most classic scene in all love movies.
After clearing up his mood, Teng Huatao returned to the set and continued filming.
May 12th, Hengda Palace, today is the official launch day of "The Martian", Tang An got up early.
Tang An will not go to the company today. Several senior executives of the group also came to the house and gathered in the big living room downstairs.
"The next filming time for "The Martian" will be about one and a half months. I estimate that I won't be back until the end of June. However, we have no movies to be released in the summer. During this period, everyone's focus will be on "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Chinatown Detective".
"The Case", "The Story of the Ex", "Why Shengxiao is Silent", and "Step by Step Shocking" are the five film and television dramas."
"Director Tang, we haven't found a suitable candidate for the male lead role in "Detective Chinatown" yet. Do you think we should slightly change the script and character?" Production Director Liu Debin asked.
"Not found yet?"
"I have gone to all the major art schools, but there are basically none that fully meet the requirements."
Liu Debin said and quickly took out seven or eight photos and handed them over.
Tang An took it and took a look. They were all young meat. They were tall and handsome, but they had nothing to do with being cute.
Tang An basically did not change the script. Qin Feng's character design is still the same as before, and his cute attributes are essential.
"Let's do this. Mr. Liu will go to the High School Affiliated to Beijing Dance Academy to find a student named Liu Haoran and let Mr. Chen take a look."
There was really no suitable person, so Tang An had no choice but to target junior high school students.
"Okay, I'll go there in the afternoon."
"By the way, remember to contact the other party's parents. The child is 14 years old and is in the second grade of junior high school this year." Tang An added.
1414 years old?
Liu Debin was stunned for a moment. It was not surprising to hear that the students in the High School Affiliated to Beijing Dance Academy were all 16 years old. Most of the Mesozoic actors started arranging films when they were around 20 years old.
But this 14-year-old is too young. He is already considered a child at this age. If he develops more slowly, he will look like a primary school student.
Not only Liu Debin, but others also looked puzzled. This is not filming "Nine-year-old County Prince" and "Gan Luo", so what is going on with a 14-year-old child.
Xu Manyun first asked, "Dr. Tang, this child is only 14 years old, is he too young?"
Tang An understood their doubts. It would be hard for anyone to believe that a 14-year-old child could be the leading actor in a big-budget commercial film.
He explained, "Although this child is only 14 years old, he should be 1.7 meters tall, which is no shorter than Deng Chao. When the time comes, we can make his shoes inward to increase the height, and the contrast will appear."
"Originally, the character was set up as a child prodigy, so being a little younger doesn't matter."
They still have questions, "What about acting skills? Can children of this age perform well?"
"This role is pretty much a true performance. There is nothing difficult about it. Let Mr. Chen take a look at it first. If it suits him, it will be him. If it doesn't work, we will find someone else."
No one asked any more questions. They haven't met them yet. Let's go to the audition first.
Basically, everything that needs to be explained has been said, and Tang An went out to attend the launch conference.
The press conference was held in a five-star hotel near the airport, just five minutes from his home.
The car was already waiting at the door, so I got in the car and headed straight to the hotel.
First I said hello to the senior executives of major companies who came to support me, and the press conference officially started at 10 o'clock.
The large conference hall was already filled with reporters from all over the country, ready to get first-hand information about Tang An's new film.
This year Feng Xiaogang is still preparing "1942", which will be released next year. Apart from Zhang Yimou and Xu Ke, only Tang An is participating in the Lunar New Year movie.
I don’t know if Guoshi can recover. Xu Ke is still making a remake this time. “The Martian” is undoubtedly the most watched movie this year.
Tang An and several actors came on stage and spoke first.
"Thank you all friends from the media for coming to the launch conference of my new film "The Martian". This is also my eighth film. Every year, so many friends come to support me. Thank you all."
ps: Qin Feng, I originally thought about other people, but I don’t know much about Xiaoxianrou, so I thought of a few candidates. For example, Deng Chao recommended his fellow countryman Peng Yuchang.
But after thinking about it, it’s Liu Haoran. When he shoots Northern Ireland in two years, his appearance should be enough. Just make it smaller. Don’t spray it~
