In fact, when he first read the manuscript of "The Wandering Earth" written by Tian Ming, Wu Hengjiang had already made up a list of several starring actors in his mind, and even greeted them verbally. The other party was also very happy at first.
Agreed.
After all, Wu Hengjiang, as the boss of Beidou Entertainment, although it was just a verbal agreement, everyone took it seriously.
However, I never expected that with the exposure of the "Wandering Earth" project, so many bizarre incidents would occur in this movie.
No one buys the investment shares put on the market.
I chose a director, but it turned out to be a newcomer who looked like a fool.
Coupled with this is the derisive attitude of most other entertainment companies in the industry towards this project.
Even though Wu Hengjiang represents Beidou Entertainment, which is also very important, the main actors who had previously made appointments with him also backed down.
Therefore, they all found one or another excuse and chose to give up starring in the film "The Wandering Earth".
"Mr. Wu, our company has new projects coming up recently, and I really can't adjust my schedule. I'm sorry, Mr. Wu. Let's work together next time."
Well, this person was very straightforward and just found an excuse and refused. Everyone had a tacit understanding and didn't pursue it.
"Mr. Wu...I'm so sorry. I fell while skiing two days ago and suffered internal injuries. I don't know when I will get better. I may not be able to act in the near future. Hmm...Thank you for your understanding..."
This person is rather cunning. He said that he suffered internal injuries after falling while skiing, and he didn't know when he would recover... Haha, maybe Wu Hengjiang was rejected here, and he would go back to filming normally in a few days.
Anyway, people really don’t know when the injury will be healed, and it may even be a misdiagnosis in the past, but it makes sense no matter what.
Most of the other people were in the same situation. In short, they all had their own reasons and refused to act in "The Wandering Earth".
After answering the last call, Wu Hengjiang couldn't help but laugh angrily.
"Haha, if you don't want to act, don't act. Mad, I can use newcomers as the director, and I can also use newcomers as the lead actors!"
…
To a certain extent, what Wu Hengjiang said was not an angry comment, because according to Tian Ming's script, the protagonists in the main story line of "The Wandering Earth" are two young people aged 17 or 18, who are responsible for stringing together
Starting from the whole storyline, there are many scenes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the starring role.
Of course, in addition to these two young people, there are also several very outstanding important figures. The restrictions on these roles are less restrictive. You can find golden supporting roles that are not well-known but have good acting skills, and you can even choose them based on the image of the actors.
Adjust the characters in the script.
Wu Hengjiang still has no shortage of resources in this area, otherwise he would not be the big boss of an entertainment company.
After learning about the relevant situation, Chen Feng and Tian Ming both expressed that it didn't matter, because as a science fiction blockbuster, actors are relatively unimportant. It is also a very good choice to use newcomers if they are well trained. Moreover, using
For newcomers, the salary can be greatly reduced, so that more money can be spent on film production.
Moreover, Dong Guofan is also a new director. New people are paired with new people, so no one should criticize anyone else. Otherwise, some well-known actors will be found, and even the director will dare to scold him if he has a bad temper.
I don’t know what others think, but Chen Feng will never tolerate those people’s bad habits.
After it was decided that a new star would star, Wu Hengjiang immediately went to arrange the candidates. Beidou Entertainment still had a rich reserve of young actors. It only took less than half a day to find forty or fifty artists of both sexes. Wu Hengjiang immediately
We started organizing people to conduct preliminary casting interviews.
…
After Xu Tailang learned that "The Wandering Earth" would cast new actors and star young newcomers, he thought about it for a moment and then called Wu Hengjiang.
"Mr. Wu, I have a young new artist here who also wants to try out... Well, just give him a chance. Whether he can use it or not depends mainly on whether he is suitable. You have the final say in everything. I don't want to force anyone on him.
...Okay, that's it, then I'll let her go tomorrow."
After making the call, Xu Tailang was silent for a moment, and then called Fei'er Zhao to come to his office.
Faye Zhao is the Faye who was forced to leave at the end of her group.
Now, her has successfully advanced from the audition and has been widely praised for singing "Persian Cat". She has even been favored by the first sponsor. Now they are actively preparing for the knockout rounds after the Spring Festival. It can be said that
The future is bright.
Faye Zhao can only feel envious now.
These days, her foot injury has recovered, but she has completely lost the opportunity to perform on stage with her, so she can only return to Kyoto City silently and return to Tailang Entertainment.
Xu Tailang arranged a new agent for her and helped her customize some personal development planning routes. However, no matter what, she will not be able to recover from the previous blow in the near future.
Because her experience was too tragic, and no one who suffered such a thing would be able to let it go easily.
It is said that Faye Zhao has cried many times in private.
But now that the matter has been settled, there is no point in crying.
Moreover, she still maintains a good relationship with the other three members of Her, and she is very happy to see her best sisters getting better and better.
This feeling of mixed emotions is really uncomfortable.
Many people in Tailang Entertainment watched with their own eyes as Faye Zhao quickly lost weight and lost all energy.
Xu Tailang naturally knew about her situation, and Sister Xia also asked him to take good care of Fei'er Zhao before. Therefore, after hearing the news that "The Wandering Earth" would cast young newcomers as male and female protagonists, he called Wu Hengjiang directly.
Telephone.
Even if Faye Zhao is not selected, it would be good to give her some hope and motivation now. This also shows that Tailang Entertainment really has not given up on her completely.
Moreover, Faye Zhao also graduated from a relatively unknown film and television school. She has performed in dance and drama before, so she has some experience in acting.
Looking at it this way, she really has a good chance of being chosen.
If this thing can really come true, then Faye Zhao will definitely be able to quickly get out of the previous shadow.
…
Soon, Fei'er Zhao came to Xu Tailang's office.
When she heard from Xu Tailang that she could audition for the heroine of the movie "The Wandering Earth", Faye Zhao was really shocked. She never imagined that such a good thing could happen to her.
As a person from Tailang Entertainment, she has heard some news about "The Wandering Earth". Although many people in the circle are now mocking this project, Tailang Entertainment is one of the investors, and Chen Feng also invested.
, Therefore, Fei'er Zhao is more willing to believe that other people's rumors are false.
Even if she didn't believe in Tailang Entertainment, she didn't dare not believe in Chen Feng, especially after Chen Feng helped her write the song "Persian Cat", she and the other three sisters almost worshiped Chen Feng to death, so she
I want to believe that "The Wandering Earth" will definitely be a good movie!
And now, she actually got an opportunity to audition for the leading role out of nowhere. This is incredible.
Although this was just an audition opportunity, and Xu Tailang did not guarantee her that the role would definitely be hers, at least Tailang Entertainment gave her this opportunity, which was the greatest comfort to her!
