Zhao Wenzhuo?
Hearing that it was Zhao Wenzhuo, Lu Yang and Wang Lin looked at each other. Wang Lin was proud because Li Rengang said that he preferred Zhao Wenzhuo to play the leading role because he saw the recently released dragon and snake attack, but Lu Yang was speechless.
Lu Yang doesn't know whether Li Rengang had thought about starring Zhao Wenzhuo in the role of Qinglong before preparing for the royal guards. He only knows that the royal guards starred Zhen Zixiang. Does Li Rengang's recent investment not go well because he proposed Zhao Wenzhuo as the starring candidate?
To be fair, before the release of IP man, Zhao Wenzhuo's fame and Zhen Zixiang were difficult to tell who was higher and who was lower. However, after the release of IP man, Zhen Zixiang's fame soared like a rocket and became the hottest among Chinese Kung Fu stars for a time. For a long time after that, he was soft on film. I don't know how many investors would invest in the script they didn't intend to invest in as long as they heard that they could invite Zhen Zixiang to Starr in an action film.
Zhen Zizhi has become the guarantee of action film box office.
The royal guards, martial arts, Chen Zhen, Guan Yunchang, and making havoc in heaven all found Zhen Zixiang to play the leading role after Zhen Zixiang's fire. In particular, in the film Guan Yunchang, Zhen Zixiang's height is obviously too different from that of Guan Yu in history, but for the sake of box office, investors still invited Zhen Zixiang to play Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.
Lu Yang understood a little. After the release of IP man for a while, Li Rengang set his eyes on Zhen Zizhi and asked Zhen Zizhi to play the leading role of Qinglong in royal guards. The total investment of more than 100 million in royal guards will be fully realized soon.
The main reason why Li Rengang's investment is not going well now is not that it comes from other places, but that the film lacks a leading actor who can make investors believe that the box office will never lose money as a box office guarantee.
Having figured this out, Lu Yang didn't point it out on the spot, because ye man hasn't been released yet. Even if he persuaded Li Rengang to contact Zhen Zizhi now, the popularity of Zhen Zizhi and Zhao Wenzhuo can't increase investors' confidence in the film.
However, not pointing out the reasons for Li Rengang's current plight does not prevent Lu Yang from making profits for himself.
"Director Li!"
"Hmm? Lu always has something to say, please say it directly!"
Li Rengang reached out and motioned to Lu Yang, but said no harm. Lu Yang smiled, nodded and said, "if I personally invest 50 million, do I have a say in the starring lineup of this film?"
"What?"
"Ah?"
As soon as Lu Yang said this, Li Rengang and Wang Lin were surprised, especially Wang Lin. he found that Lu Yang had inexplicable confidence in Li Rengang's new film two days ago, but he never thought Lu Yang's confidence in the film could reach such a degree.
Invest $50 million alone
According to media reports, his net worth is only 70 million. Is it necessary to put most of his family on the film at one go?
Besides, before Li Rengang came here, the biggest expectation in his heart was that the two bosses of the ugly forest film company heard for the first time could invest $10 million together. Unexpectedly, President Lu decided to invest $50 million. Li Rengang also heard how much his family was reported in the media. At this time, his surprise was second only to Wang Lin.
It's a big surprise.
Are young people so bold now?
To tell the truth, Li Rengang doesn't have so much confidence in the final box office of royal guards.
Li Rengang and Wang Lin were also surprised, but after their surprise, their reactions were quite different because of their different positions.
Wang Lin frowned and touched Lu Yang with his feet under the table for the first time, suggesting whether Lu Yang was too hasty, while Li Rengang was surrounded by great surprises.
An old face blushed slightly: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu! Is what you said true? Are you really going to invest 50 million?"
Lu Yang ignored Wang Lin's reminder, smiled and nodded slightly. Originally, he didn't intend to invest so much money in royal guards, but his communication with Li Rengang just showed him an opportunity.
Since Li Rengang has not yet attracted investment, Lu Yang can naturally increase the amount of investment. At the same time, because ye man has not been released, Zhen Zixiang's fame and value have not soared, which also makes him see the possibility of more profits.
"Director Li! I can invest $50 million, but I just said that if I invest so much, I hope I can decide the candidates for several roles! I know my request is a little difficult for you, but please believe that I will invest so much and will not use $50 million as a favor and choose some unsuitable candidates to destroy the quality of the film! Director Li, do you want to listen to the candidates I suggest first?"
Lu Yang's restatement finally made Li Rengang wake up from his excitement, and his face changed slightly. As Lu Yang said, he did have resistance to this request in his heart, but thinking that he might get 50 million funds at one stroke, he tried to suppress a little resistance at the bottom of his heart, squeezed out a little smile, stretched out his hand and said, "please speak, President Lu! I'm all ears!"
Lu Yang smiled and said the first request: "the hero Qinglong must invite Zhen Zizhi to play, and contact him as soon as possible to sign a film appointment! Well, I hope this matter can be settled within a week! The sooner the better!"
"IP MAN" has now announced the release date, and several trailers are circulating on the Internet recently. The release date is set for December 12.
Although many people are too optimistic about the box office of the film, it still hasn't been released. If it hasn't been released for a day, this expectation can't be transformed into Zhen Zixiang's real achievements. In short, Zhen Zixiang's film salary has not started to soar at present.
But if he waited until "Ye man" was released, his personal pay would have to be doubled.
The purpose of Lu Yangti's request is to sign the film contract of royal guards with Zhen Zizhi before his film salary has risen sharply. The saved funds are equivalent to saving themselves.
Li Rengang naturally doesn't know the deep-seated reasons. He is still wondering. Didn't Zhao Wenzhuo just cooperate with them in a good box office "dragon and snake attack"? How could this young man choose Zhen Zizhi instead of Zhao Wenzhuo as Qinglong? Isn't their cooperation pleasant this time?
Wang Lin also had such doubts at this time. He found that he couldn't understand many of Lu Yang's actions since Lu Yang asked him to inquire about Li Rengang's new script.
At this time, he also wondered when Zhao Wenzhuo offended Lu Yang in the process of starring in dragon and snake attack?
Is it
Wang Lin suddenly thought of a possibility and thought: was it Zhao Wenzhuo's idea of Dao Xinyi in private?
The more you think about it, Wang linyue thinks this may be the biggest. He has long found that Lu Yang's love for Dao Xinyi is different from that for other women. On the surface, it is not a relationship between men and women, but Lu Yang always shows that he takes care of Dao Xinyi and is different from others intentionally or unintentionally.
He shook his head secretly. Wang Lin was speechless. He was speechless to Zhao Wenzhuo, Dao Xinyi... He was also excited about Wang Lin, but he didn't dare to make her mind at all. Why?
Like a flash of lightning, Wang Lin suddenly split the fog all over the sky. Wang Lin felt that he had figured out the internal reasons for Lu Yang's abnormal actions in the past two days, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Li Rengang has compared Zhen Zixiang and Zhao Wenzhuo in his heart. He feels that it is also good to Starr Zhen Zixiang. Their fame is almost the same. Ye man, starring Zhen Zixiang recently, is about to be released. Maybe his fame can rise a little after ye man is released. This candidate is not unacceptable.
After thinking about it, Li Rengang nodded with Lu Yang and said with a smile, "yes! As long as president Lu is sure to invest $50 million in the royal guards, please Starr Zhen Zixiang and write it in the investment agreement. Speaking of it, my personal relationship with Zhen Zixiang is also OK. Please move him. I don't know if President Lu has any suggestions?"
Any other suggestions?
Lu Yang just thought of only one Zhen Zizhi, but at this time, Li Rengang asked if there were any other suggested candidates. Instead, he thought of two or three people.
Lu Yang: "I wonder if director Li has decided who will play Qiao Hua?"
Li Rengang shook his head.
"Mr. Lu! Although I haven't decided on the candidate for Qiao Hua yet... With all due respect, Mr. Lu! Even if you invest 50 million, you can't decide all the candidates for the male and female stars of the film! It's against the rules. After today, I'll contact other investors and I can't explain to them. Please forgive me!"
Lu Yang nodded and Li Rengang refused. As he expected, he put forward this proposal only with a try attitude, but also to pave the way for the candidates recommended later.
Li Rengang rejected the candidate he proposed for Qiao Hua, so when he proposes another or two less important roles, the possibility of Li Rengang's continued rejection will be reduced.
"What about Tuotuo? The candidate for Tuotuo has not been decided yet?"
"Take off?"
Li Rengang's face changed. He didn't expect that Lu Yang had just finished turning over the script of royal guards. He thought he just turned it over as if he were acting and didn't really read it carefully. Unexpectedly, he really remembered the script of royal guards. The three roles proposed successively were the three most important roles in royal guards.
It goes without saying whether the actor Qinglong and the heroine Qiao Hua are the most important. Although this Tuotuo is not as important as many people in the script, it can finally force Qinglong to choose the Super Master who will die with her. It can be said that she is the biggest boss in the royal guards. Qinglong can't kill her in a day, She was like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all the just characters. In the script, the Tianying sect, whose martial arts were only slightly worse than the green dragon, died in her hands.
Finally, the scene where Qinglong died with her is the biggest high tide in the whole script.
Lu Yang actually took a fancy to this role
Li Rengang's expression changed several times, and finally asked with difficulty, "who does President Lu want to play?"
Lu Yang flashed the actress who played Tuotuo in the original Royal Guards, and the faces of Zhang Li, Tong Liya and Dao Xinyi.
From the original point of view, Lu Yang also thinks that the actress who played Tuotuo in the original version did well, looked cold and fierce, but she has a great figure, especially her chest is very eye-catching
But who made Lu Yang not know her! People are selfish. Now that they can propose candidates to play this role, Lu Yang will naturally recommend women close to him first.
Tong Liya is more than charming and less murderous. She was first ruled out by Lu Yang and Zhang Li
Zhang Li's face and figure are very good, and she is also close to him. She has a professional background, and her acting skills should be OK. In addition, with the honing of two previous films and a TV series, her acting skills are much better and her fame is much better than when she just left school. However, the most unsuitable thing for her to get rid of this role is that since her debut, she mainly plays urban girls, The only action film to participate in is the dragon and snake attack, which is currently on the screen. However, in the dragon and snake attack, she plays a kind-hearted civilian woman who can't do martial arts.
In other words, her current role is almost finalized. Most importantly, Lu Yang remembers that she played Qiu Xiang in Tang Bohu's Qiu Xiang in the original time and space, but her Qiu Xiang is beautiful, but there is always a sense of conflict.
Excluding Tong Liya and Zhang Li, there is only Dao Xinyi left.
In fact, Dao Xinyi has played the same role as Zhang Li so far, but how to say? Maybe Lu Yang subconsciously only wanted her to play, so he first ruled out Tong Liya and Zhang Li. To put it bluntly, he was selfish.
……
After coming out of the Pearl teahouse, Wang Lin drove behind Lu Yang's Land Rover and didn't immediately go back to do his own business. He followed Lu Yang all the way to Lu Yang's residence. When Lu Yang took out the key to open the door, Wang Lin finally asked the question in his heart: "Wenda! For a Dao Xinyi, are you really worth investing $50 million in a film you don't know very well? Haven't you heard that director Li has been running around for so many days and hasn't talked about an investment? Wenda! I know you have a good eye for investing in films, but this time I want to say that you are really hasty! You haven't seen the play before today's meeting Ben, after seeing each other for only two or three minutes, you decided to invest $50 million in this film? The total investment in three films and a TV series we cooperated with in the past is only this amount. Wenda! You'd better think it over again! It's not easy for you to have your current wealth. Don't be impulsive and lose all your money! Those electricity There must be their reasons why film companies are unwilling to invest. The vision of those companies is very poisonous! "
Wang Lin hurriedly persuaded Lu Yang, but Lu Yang still looked relaxed.
Li Rengang saw the "dragon and snake attack". Lu Yang mentioned Dao Xinyi. He was also impressed. After several hesitations, he agreed to give Dao Xinyi an audition.
Although he didn't directly agree, Lu Yang knew that as long as Dao Xinyi didn't perform too badly during the audition, Li Rengang would certainly let her play the role of Tuotuo.
