At this time, Gao Yi appeared next to Sun Dahai with his Big Brother, something really happened again.
Sun Dahai's customer service manager at Citibank, Chen Xi, called from the United States. She told Sun Dahai that there was a film company in Hollywood. The owner's stock trading was affected by the stock market crash. Now he could no longer bear it and was filing for bankruptcy.
The film company is currently in the hands of its largest creditor, Citibank. Citibank has reached an agreement with the film company's boss and is preparing to transfer the film company to repay the debt it owes.
After the global stock market crash last week, Sun Dahai contacted Chen Xi and asked her to pay special attention to bankrupt computer software design companies or movie special effects companies that were for sale through Citibank's internal network.
Citibank has many accounts. Whenever the economy fluctuates significantly, many companies will be affected, resulting in the inability to continue operating and entering bankruptcy liquidation.
This stock market crash is fierce and extremely destructive. Sun Dahai estimates that after the stock market crash, Citibank will have many more suitable resources in its hands.
But Sun Dahai didn't expect that Chen Xi would have definite information so soon, and that it was a Hollywood film company with complete licenses and complete production capabilities.
Sun Dahai was at the reception and it was inconvenient to talk. So he asked Chen Xi to fax the relevant information to his office and study it carefully when Sun Dahai goes to the company tomorrow.
Alas, Sunday is finally here, but it's a pity that I won't be able to sleep in tomorrow. Sun Dahai felt a little sad in his heart. Why is Mao himself so busy?
By the way, Sun Dahai suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly asked several directors around him: "In "The Last Emperor", I also served as a guard in the Forbidden City. I had forgotten that you are in the film."
Did you see me?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
"Dahai, you also made a guest appearance? We really didn't notice it. In that episode, you appeared? Who did you play with? Do you have any lines?" Wu Yusen and Sun Dahai knew each other first and had the best relationship, so he
Come ask questions.
Sun Dahai hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "When I went to visit the filming set in the Forbidden City, they asked me to change my costume. There were no lines, and I didn't know what plot it was in. It seemed that Uncle Wei and the others were walking in front.
Yes, I am a guard standing guard in front of the palace gate."
All the directors present understood it as soon as they heard it. It turned out to be a supporting role as a background wall.
They have basically done this kind of thing, using this kind of supporting role to give the relevant people a chance to appear on the scene and let them have fun. For example, the relatives and friends of the actors who came to visit the studio, the staff at the location, or an audience member at the filming scene
…
By the time of post-editing, the director had long forgotten about this incident, and most of the scenes would have been cut. After all, there were only a few supporting characters who could appear in the final version.
When Sun Dahai saw their expressions, he knew it. He was actually not interested in whether he could appear in the movie.
But at that time, he took the second child to visit the class. After he took a few sets of shots, it seemed that the two little guys were very interested in this. When they came to Xiangjiang this time, they asked Sun Dahai to bring back the video tape of the movie to them.
Look.
It's a pity that my own scene was cut out. Even if there is still a little trace left, if I don't pick it up frame by frame, it is probably difficult to find the evidence that I have made a cameo.
However, if Erxiao likes to appear in movies, he can find a few suitable movies in the future and let them make guest appearances in them to enjoy themselves.
When Sun Dahai thought of this, another idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Director Du, who will play the role of the child in "The Eight Stars Announcement"?"
"The candidate to play this role is a young actor named Huang Kunxuan that I found from Wanwan. He has already acted in several movies. He is not a newbie, and he seems to be quite intelligent. What, you have the right person?
Do you want to recommend it to me?" Johnnie To asked.
"No way, the movie will start shooting soon, and you must have already decided on the actors. If I recommend people to join the cast now, wouldn't that be causing trouble!" Sun Dahai said cheerfully.
Du Qifeng suddenly let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
As one of the investors of this movie, Sun Dahai definitely has the right to add people to the crew. As long as the leading actors remain unchanged, if he recommends one or two supporting actors, whether it is Johnnie To or Huang Baiming, it will be really cool.
It’s hard to say no.
Young actor Huang Kunxuan has nothing to do with Johnnie To or New Arts City. This was actually discovered by Johnnie To when watching a movie produced by Wanwan.
If Sun Dahai wants to change to another supporting role, even if the actor contract has been signed and the crew will start filming soon, but the financial owner has spoken, Johnnie To will grit his teeth and say that he will change the person.
But anyone who has worked in film and television knows that the most difficult things to handle in this filming are the animal characters and the children. If you can't handle them (them), the whole film will not go on.
Therefore, after Johnnie To auditioned for Huang Kunxuan, he was very satisfied with this young actor who had no stage fright at all and was both experienced and spiritual.
If Sun Dahai really had to make a substitution on the spot, it would be too late for Du Qifeng to cry even if he got a raw melon egg.
Child actors are different from adults. If they don't look at each other, let alone on-the-spot training, it may not be possible to fool them.
Du Qifeng felt relieved after hearing Sun Dahai's statement that he was not going to replace him. However, he also had a trace of curiosity. If nothing happened, what would Sun Dahai ask this young actor to do?
But the rest of the matter has nothing to do with Du Qifeng for the time being. Sun Dahai pulled Huang Baiming aside, and the two of them whispered.
After a while, the two of them seemed to have agreed on a cooperation, and they happily toasted to celebrate. Unfortunately, Sun Dahai was not of legal drinking age, so he could only fool people with a drink.
After a while, Sun Dahai and Huang Baiming negotiated a new project. Sun Dahai was responsible for providing story ideas, and Huang Baiming completed the screenwriting work and served as the producer.
This new project is called "Alang's Story" and is planned to be filmed in the second half of next year or the year after.
The specific shooting time of the film has not yet been determined. It depends on how the designated male lead, Fa Ge, adjusts his schedule, although Fa Ge still doesn’t know anything yet.
Huang Baiming originally proposed that New Art City also participate in the investment of this film, but Sun Dahai rejected New Art City's intervention on the grounds that the film was an art film, the investment was huge, and the income was uncertain.
Sun Dahai saw that Huang Baiming still seemed unwilling, so he told him his real plan.
Sun Dahai will invest at least 8 million Hong Kong dollars in filming costs to complete such a literary film with unpredictable box office prospects and make "The Story of A Lang" a true classic movie.
