Auditions, the official auditions began. No one knew what was right, but everyone still came to audition.
Super first-tier, first-tier, second-tier, third-tier. It's like holding an awards show, all these people come to audition.
Zhang Fan also personally auditioned one by one. Although the time was not long, Zhang Fan was able to accurately grasp the basic situation of this person through the short audition.
There is a small book on Zhang Fan's desk, which contains the list of all auditionees. After each person auditions, Zhang Fan will always write down his own opinions and psychological prediction scores behind the list.
There are many characters in The Matrix, and Zhang Fan has rehearsed every character in his mind. Even the extras are like this.
Careful selection, this is definitely a careful selection. Compared with other directors who need to consider the salary issue, Zhang Fan doesn't have to consider it too much. The salary has been announced, and everyone who comes to audition has already accepted it.
Relatively low pay.
For several days, Zhang Fan was busy with auditions and screenings. In addition to auditions for The Matrix, Zhang Fan also had to take time to record his voice and train his students.
Coupled with the company's affairs, this really made Zhang Fan very tired. However, although he was busy, Zhang Fan felt very satisfied in his heart. This kind of busyness was enough.
A week later, Zhang Fan completed a list in his hand. Looking at the list, Zhang Fan laughed. All-star, a strong all-star lineup. The male and female protagonists are two intercontinental superstars, Zhang Fan and Leng Yuefei.
The remaining important roles are basically occupied by top-tier stars. Even many of the supporting cast and even the extras are first- and second-tier superstars.
All-stars, this is a true all-star. The whole movie almost includes most of the Chinese entertainment industry. Not only movie actors, but also TV drama actors.
Movie kings look at the movie kings, and there are a lot of people behind them. They pull out a supporting role at random, and they are all movie king-level figures.
"If this cast doesn't make this movie well, someone will probably scold it."
Leng Yuefei looked at the list compiled by Zhang Fan and couldn't help but said. The lineup is too strong, and every market appeal is very strong. With so many stars gathered together, the international market is not mentioned for the time being, only the appeal of the Chinese market
There is no one like it.
"Yes, they can accept this salary to star in this film. They just believe in my ability. If it goes wrong, it will be difficult to assemble this lineup in the future. But if it goes well, in the Chinese film market in the future, haha
…”
Zhang Fan laughed, and Leng Yuefei looked at Zhang Fan and understood what Zhang Fan meant. If he plays well, Zhang Fan can basically walk sideways in the Chinese film market.
"Hey, Brother Renjie, I'm Zhang Fan. Do you have a schedule for the role of the agent? Yes, there is a schedule, that's good. That's it. I will send someone to contact you..."
Zhang Fan picked up his phone and started notifying one by one. These people were all big names, and they gave Zhang Fan face. Zhang Fan also gave them face. Besides, Zhang Fan would still have to rely on them in the future.
Now that the Longteng Mall's celebrity flagship store plan is in progress, Zhang Fan naturally wants to open up relationships with these people. The value they can create for Longteng Group is definitely not just as simple as movie box office.
Notifications, one notification after another. No one who received the notification said there was no schedule. Some roles did not take long to shoot. Therefore, Zhang Fan also needed to reasonably arrange the schedule according to each person's specific situation.
"The Matrix roster is confirmed, and the all-star lineup is revealed..."
Soon, a report appeared on the Internet. The content of the report shocked countless people.
Intercontinental superstars, super first-tier, first-tier, almost all the powerful players in China.
"Oh my god, this lineup is so powerful."
"It's also scary. After this movie comes out, who in Chinese movies would dare to compete head-on?"
"It's so awesome, Brother Fan is so powerful..."
"Other than Brother Fan, who has such charisma..."
"The appeal is too terrifying, scary..."
"Looking forward to when it will be released."
"Hurry up and release it..."
Netizens started talking, although there is no official confirmation. But if it is really this lineup, it will definitely cause a terrifying box office in China. With so many superstars together, even a bad movie can still get a very high box office
.
Seeing this lineup, some famous directors in China were extremely jealous. They are all directors, so why is there such a big difference? How long has Zhang Fancai been in this circle?
Zhang Fan has been in the entertainment industry for only three years. In three years, Zhang Fan has gained such appeal. This is really annoying, but they don't dare to say anything nonsense.
They are not allowed to talk nonsense about Zhang Fan now. They are lucky if Zhang Fan doesn't take the initiative to provoke them.
Lanhai City, Wanlong Film and Television City. Wanding Group moved very quickly. The entire film and television city was constructed by the Wanding Group's construction team. The land acquisition work encountered no obstacles.
In Longteng District, Lanhai City, Lanhai City has reserved a lot of land for a long time. Now that Wanlong Film and Television City is used, Lanhai City has directly allocated the reserved land to the film and television city.
"Quick, hurry up and arrange it..."
In the film and television city, in a huge shooting venue, the staff are arranging manpower to start shooting. Today is the official start of The Matrix. The opening ceremony of The Matrix was not grand. It was just a low-key opening ceremony, and no media reporters were invited.
.
Unlike other directors' movies, Zhang Fan's movies are kept secret throughout the whole process as soon as they are shot. For a good movie, spoilers have a great impact on the box office.
Therefore, Zhang Fan had already asked everyone to sign a confidentiality agreement. Once someone dared to leak the secret, Zhang Fan dared to pursue legal responsibility.
Green screen shooting, most scenes of the entire film will be shot in this huge green screen venue. As for the surrounding environment, it will be completed with movie special effects.
This shooting method is also the way to shoot movies and TV series in the future. With the development of special effects technology, the scenes produced by computer special effects are more beautiful than the real scenes.
"Brother Renjie, how do you read the script?"
Zhang Fan came to Li Renjie and asked with a smile.
"I've finished reading it all. You guys are so awesome. This script is so awesome..."
Li Renjie looked at Zhang Fan and couldn't help but give a thumbs up. The script is so awesome, a science fiction script. This science fiction script is very deep.
This Hollywood science fiction blockbuster has more depth. Today's science fiction blockbusters in Hollywood are mainly about big scenes, often showing equipment and weapons from the future world. They are dazzling, but the depth is not high.
But The Matrix is different. The Matrix is very deep, and this depth is the most attractive thing about the movie.
