Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety Two: The Two Great Actors Join.
Tao Yuehua's wedding reminded Han Fei, wasn't he a good candidate? However, during the Chinese New Year, it was the honeymoon period for newlyweds, and Han Fei was too embarrassed to bother him, so he could only wait until next year.
As for the other actor, Han Fei has an eye for it. He Mingyu, who once played King Qin in Heroes, should be a good choice to play Huang Silang.
Of course, this person is definitely not easy to hire, and everyone in the industry who wants to hire him for filming will probably have to queue up.
"Hey, you kid doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, why do you have time to come here today?" He Mingyu joked.
Han Fei was not embarrassed and squeezed in with a bunch of gift boxes: "It's very cold outside, let's go in and talk."
"Hey, you are so rude." He Mingyu was very happy.
After Han Fei entered the room, he took off his coat and hung it up: "Hey, we have an old relationship, there is no need to be so polite."
He Mingyu was speechless for a while, then laughed and cursed: "What do you mean, are you relying on me?"
After joking for a while, Han Fei got straight to the point: "Teacher He, aren't I going to start a new play recently? There is a role that is particularly suitable for you..."
He Mingyu understood it as soon as he heard it: "Okay, I'll tell you that you are a night owl and come to the house for anything. You are here waiting for me."
"Well, Teacher He, what do you think..." Han Fei asked cautiously.
"When will your new drama start filming?"
"After the script is reviewed after the year, filming will begin."
He Mingyu hesitated: "It's not easy to handle. I have a movie I'm talking about after the year."
"No, Teacher He, this play is really suitable for you. I have brought the script." Han Fei became anxious upon hearing this.
"You're well prepared," He Mingyu scolded with a smile, but took the script from Han Fei's hands.
Picking up his glasses, He Mingyu gently opened the script. He didn't say another word for almost an hour, as if he had forgotten about Han Fei.
After a long while, he took off his glasses, closed the script, and let out a sigh of relief. A good script often brings the scene to mind as soon as it is read. After reading the character script, He Mingyu also fell in love with the role of Huang Silang.
"How is it?" Han Fei asked nervously, because he really couldn't think of anyone else who could be more suitable for this role than He Mingyu.
He Mingyu sighed: "Okay, your kid's script is of the same high quality as always, and the role of Huang Silang is also very deep, but..."
I'm afraid of everything: But, but...
He Mingyu said distressedly: "You really gave me a difficult problem. This Huang Silang is different from all the roles I have played before. Aren't you afraid that the audience won't accept it?"
It is true that He Mingyu has played many roles before, but he can't avoid the image of a highly educated intellectual and a prince and aristocrat. The elegant temperament he carries makes it difficult not to associate him with that aspect.
Therefore, the audience's inherent impression of him is still very deep. This impression is actually not a good thing for an actor. It will limit the actor's acting career. Just like the roles that He Mingyu is taking now, they are basically of these two types.
.
Because when directors in the industry have such a role, he is the first person they think of, and He Mingyu is famous for choosing scripts and crews. He rarely joins ordinary small crews because he knows whether the crew is professional and suitable for a certain person.
How big is the impact of this drama? Many dramas with good scripts are still blinded by an unreliable crew.
Han Fei said: "Teacher He, I believe in your acting skills, and you should also believe in the strength of our crew. Don't you want to break the audience's inherent impression of you?"
These words have touched He Mingyu's heart. How could he not want to? Many famous actors are trying to get rid of the influence of famous works on themselves. However, not many actually do it. Many actors have been playing the same type of roles throughout their lives. After all, , you need a good meal.
"Hey, help me push that drama away. Yes, you heard me right, that's it." After He Mingyu hung up the phone, he smiled bitterly at Han Fei and said, "Okay, this time I have completely offended someone."
Han Fei said seriously: "Teacher He, don't worry, this drama will never make you regret your choice today."
Han Fei was relieved that He Mingyu agreed to participate. He Mingyu played Huang Silang, Shen Yiming played Master Tang, and the most important one was Zhang Mazi.
Although Jiang Wen is not the most accomplished actor in Chinese-language films, he is definitely the most unique actor. What is unique about him, how should I put it? It should be called "that energy", which is definitely unique.
Han Fei went through almost all the information about powerful actors in the entertainment industry, but still couldn't find anyone who could play the role of Zhang Mazi.
On the other side, He Mingyu's agent hurried to his home.
"Teacher He, no, why? It took a lot of effort to negotiate for this drama. Do you know how much they paid for it?"
He Mingyu spread his hands: "Do you think I am short of money now?"
The agent was speechless for a moment and thought to himself, you are not in need, but I am.
"Well, money is not the key. The key is the director of this play, Director Chen. You know that, right? He is one of the best directors in the country. I want to cooperate with him a lot. Isn't it too disrespectful for us to do this? Is there someone else?”
He Mingyu still shook his head: "Forget it, I have already agreed to this, you just push it over there. It hasn't been decided yet anyway, so don't delay it."
The agent felt so distressed, as if he saw the white money flying away in front of his eyes with wings.
"No, Teacher He, should we think about it again? Which production company have you agreed to? I will negotiate with them. Don't worry, I will never make it difficult for you. This is really a particularly good opportunity."
He Mingyu was a little tired and waved his hand: "Okay, don't waste time with me during the Chinese New Year. Go back and spend time with your family."
When the agent came out of He Mingyu's house, a cold wind hit him. He looked at the falling snowflakes in the sky and sighed helplessly. What a great opportunity. How could he have achieved both fame and fortune?
I can't help complaining in my heart: I don't know what the old man is doing today. In other words, who can convince this stubborn old man?
Calling someone here to apologize in person is like giving someone a slap in the face. He had guaranteed that He Mingyu would join the cast, so he even specifically applied for extra pay, but... .Hey, let’s not talk anymore, my face hurts.
However, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, which is also the first day most companies start work after the New Year, the agent received a call.
"Hey, who is it?"
There was a little girl's voice on the other end of the phone: "Hello, hello, are you Mr. He Mingyu's agent? Do you have time to come to our company to talk about the contract?"
As soon as he heard about He Mingyu's contract, his agent became furious. Okay, you finally caught me, right?
"What contract?"
The little girl on the other end of the phone was immediately confused. This was explained by the boss himself, and she quickly said: "This is the contract between your artist, Mr. He Mingyu, and our film."
"Is this happening? Why didn't I know?" the agent said unhappily.
The little girl was dumbfounded when she heard this. What should I do? Didn't we already agree? I am just a clerk. I just informed and made an appointment. How could this situation happen?
The little girl immediately reported it to the external relations people. The external relations people were dumbfounded when they heard it. The first thing the boss told him during the meeting was this, and he must not mess it up.
"Hello, hello, I've been waiting for a long time. It's like this. Teacher He really made an agreement with us. Why don't you make a call to communicate with Teacher He?" The outreach person thought that He Mingyu hadn't had time to follow up.
Broker communication.
However, when he mentioned this, he didn't get angry at all. Just for a promise, he was scolded like a grandson for almost half an hour.
"Okay, then I will communicate with Teacher He first and then give you a reply."
One day has passed, three days have passed, and the external contact person has not received a reply. I called to ask. It turned out that He Mingyu was on vacation recently and it was not convenient to answer the phone. He was anxious. Han Fei came over and asked: "Teacher He's
Has the contract been negotiated? How much is the salary? We will make budget statistics soon."
When Han Fei heard this, he knew something was wrong: "Give me his phone number."
When the agent saw that it was the original number again, he secretly laughed in his heart. How anxious has he become in just a few days?
"Hey, who is it?"
"I, Han Fei."
The agent didn't react at once: What about Han Fei... Wait, Han... Han Fei?
I asked casually: "Which Han Fei?"
"What do you think?" Han Fei said angrily: "Have you communicated with Teacher He? How about I ask Teacher He to call you personally?"
"No... no need, ahem, I've just verified it." The agent replied cautiously.
Han Fei directly handed the phone to the external relations staff. If it weren't for He Mingyu's relationship, such a small character would never have a chance to talk to him. Naturally, he would not waste time on such a trivial matter.
The agent was confused. Is He Mingyu rejecting the movie for Han Fei's new movie? Oh, if I had known this, he would be so upset. Not to mention being scolded for half an hour, even one hour is worth it.
Ah, compared to Han Fei, that Director Chen is nothing?
"Oh, buddy, I'm sorry. It was my fault before. Look, the flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple..."
When the external relations officer heard this, he said angrily: "I don't dare to take it seriously, but you are so proud that we, Mr. Han, have to tell you personally to negotiate a contract."
"..."
The contract was negotiated quickly, and He Mingyu didn't care too much about the salary. Han Fei's films rarely give high salaries, and the salary was reduced by one-third compared to the previous films directed by Chen.
After settling He Mingyu's contract, Han Fei called Tao Yuehua again. The reason why he didn't call Shen Yiming directly was of course because the pillow style was more effective.
Sure enough, when Tao Yuehua heard that there was such an opportunity, he immediately agreed. Shen Yiming on the side looked confused. Now, he sold himself out?
After the Lantern Festival, the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" finally passed review. This news was quickly discovered by the media and quickly aroused heated discussion on the Internet.
Among them, the one that caused the most controversy was that Han Fei's name was clearly written on the screenwriter column. It was obvious that this script was created by him.
After a year, Han Fei has taken a rest and is he finally coming back?
Of course, some netizens said that maybe Han Fei just wrote the script in his spare time, which does not mean that he will come back.
Netizens are just watching the excitement, but for insiders, it is completely different. First of all, it doesn't matter whether Han Fei participates in this new film. Last year's "Operation Red River Valley" was enough to prove that.
Even if Han Fei is not involved in the whole process, the movies produced by Bird Pictures are still the best in the industry.
Many film and television companies have begun to pay close attention to the progress of "Let the Bullets Fly." Last year, the scenes of several companies that wanted to compete with "Operation Red River Valley" were crushed at the box office are still vivid in our minds.
Of course, the most popular thing about this movie that people in the industry are flocking to is the characters in the play. Although the film and television industry has recovered somewhat this year, it is still not as good as before the epidemic. Artists have less and less living space. Many
Less famous artists have begun to change careers.
"Feiniao Film and Television" has indeed released a large number of characters. There are many famous characters in "Let the Bullets Fly", such as: County Magistrate's Wife, Sister Hua, Hu Wan, Lao San, and Martial Arts Examiner. Just pick any of these characters.
Outstanding enough.
For example, Liao Fan, who later won the Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, started to steadily rise in his career after playing the third child in the play.
These characters were basically released, causing a huge shock in the entire entertainment industry in an instant. Although they were all supporting roles, they had to be divided into whose movies, Feiniao Film and Television dare not say anything else, in commercial films.
Its achievements cannot be matched by any other film and television company, so it has naturally become the first choice.
Naturally, there were many artists who auditioned through various connections, but soon someone discovered that the person in charge of the casting was not Han Fei, but Jiang Qinghou.
This makes people wonder whether Han Fei will participate in the production team of this movie, or has he not had enough fun?
In addition, the roles that were released are all supporting roles. What about the protagonists? Judging from the script, this drama should have at least three protagonists. Why are none of them released? Are they all pre-determined?
Shen Yiming and Tao Yuehua finally came back from their vacation abroad. They both said that people feel refreshed during happy events, but looking at Shen Yiming, he didn't seem very happy, especially when he looked at Han Fei.
Han Fei pretended not to have seen it. Hey, he looked like a newlywed. Lao Shen, you will definitely be grateful to me in the future!
As He Mingyu and Shen Yiming signed contracts one after another, the news could no longer be hidden. The joining of the two movie stars instantly put this new film on the hot search list.
The audience is naturally looking forward to seeing the confrontation between the two movie kings, and many viewers even said that just looking at the cast made people want to buy tickets in advance.
Of course, there is also a suspense, that is, who will play the final protagonist?
