Chapter 779 Have You Been Given Candy?
The news that the movie with a legendary investment of up to 2 billion has begun casting has not only caused an uproar in the manor, but also the entire entertainment industry.
Everyone in the industry is asking everywhere: "Who is the director? Who is the producer? What is the theme of the movie? Has anyone tried out for a role?"
It is estimated that only fantasy and science fiction blockbusters can achieve such a large-scale production. With so much money, how much money is needed to hire stars and how much money is used for publicity?
As for spending all the money on production? This is a state film, it's impossible.
Good filming is not as good as good marketing. No matter how hard you work to make a movie, it is better to hire two more popular celebrities. Naturally, young fans will take the initiative to pay for it.
It's always hidden, so of course it's impossible to make a movie. Ma Changfeng also released basic information to the outside world.
The announced name of this movie is "Follow Uncle Zhuang to Winemaking", or "Winemaking Movie" for short, and the director is Mr. Ka.
Hearing this, some people's hearts became cold, while others' hearts warmed up again.
What? Such a big production, such a big investment, is it actually an entertainment movie? The director had never heard of it.
When it comes to big movies in entertainment programs, they are almost criticized. Several popular movies in the past have plummeted in reputation and even their influence due to ugly money-making movies.
People who cherish feathers don't like to join in the fun. Even if the salary is very high for a while, what should I do if the reputation is bad after the performance? Some people really love acting, even if the pay is low, they still want to perform well.
But some people are very happy because this kind of movie is so good!
What kind of acting skills are needed in a big entertainment movie? Of course, just act yourself casually.
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to get paid for any performance?
Anyway, I didn’t have any acting skills or acting skills at all, I was just enjoying my youthful life.
Moreover, this kind of movie definitely needs popular stars.
With an investment of 2 billion, with such a large investment, how many popular celebrities must be hired to earn back the box office.
Can everyone join in the fun?
As a traffic star and a popular niche, Brother Hai felt that he had to be invited anyway.
He and Ma Changfeng had a very happy chat before, didn't they?
However, he waited and waited, but did not receive an invitation from the crew.
Instead, I heard that a few people in the circle who were not worth much but had very solid acting skills had received invitations.
One of them was from the same company as him. Brother Hai was very curious and asked: "What's going on? What role did you audition for?"
"A very small supporting role." This actor, who is considered to have solid acting skills among young actors, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Are you going to play a supporting role? Who is this director Mr. Ka? Is he from the industry?"
When asked who the director was, the young actor was in a daze for several minutes, and then pulled back his hair in frustration: "Why couldn't I be more engaged at that time? Why did I act so deliberately? Why! I obviously I can do better!"
"Uh..." Brother Hai was stunned, "As for it, isn't it just a role? Isn't the pay high?"
"No...if I can participate in this movie, I can give you any money..."
"So exaggerated?" Brother Hai became even more curious, "Who is the director and who are the starring actors?"
"I'm sorry, I signed a confidentiality agreement...I can only tell you...I was given a candy..."
Giving out candy? What kind of candy are you giving out?
This actor is holding a sugar cube in his hand, and seems to be crying and laughing, neither crying nor laughing.
Brother Hai felt that he couldn't act out this expression.
What shocked Brother Hai was that in the next few days, many people were discussing a topic.
"Have you been given candy?"
"I was given a candy just now, I'm really not happy with it!"
"You've been given candy too, brother sugar, brother sugar, let's encourage each other!"
"It turns out you were also given sweets. I've been thinking about who could not be given sweets. I thought it was you."
"I will treasure this piece of candy until I have another breakthrough in my acting skills, then I will eat it!"
"But I've been wondering, why do you give out candy?"
Why give out sugar?
This is really a good question. I can only say that the casting director was used to it when choosing roles in the breakfast village, so he handed out a piece of candy.
Due to the pickiness of the director and Zhuang Buyuan's requirements, there were too few people who could avoid being teased, and the casting progress was not fast.
Moreover, there is an important protagonist who has not yet been chosen.
In "The Brewers", there are three most important male characters.
The protagonist is a new generation of Brewers, played by the manor's acting director.
The second male lead is Hammer, and he is currently locked in as Ah Chui. This role is relatively easy to play because he wears armor most of the time and does not require too much acting skills.
The third most important character is the Brewer.
In the movie, he is the mentor of the new generation of Brewers and the spiritual leader of the entire human camp.
The real Brewer is Zhuang's father, but the older generation of Brewers in the movie play more like the owner of the farm, Zhuang Buyuan.
In other words, it is a combination of Zhuang Buyuan and Zhuang Dad.
He must be able to be both literary and military, capable of fighting and carrying, soft yet hard, and hard yet soft.
He has the generosity of his fathers, the domineering attitude of scolding Fang Qiu, and the domineering attitude of doing whatever it takes to win.
We must also have the determination to retreat from the rapids and pass on our armor and mantle to young people.
It can be said that this role is actually the most difficult to play well, the most layered and the most difficult in the entire drama.
It can even be said that all other roles can be made up for by the director's training and on-site performance, but this role cannot.
In order to choose this role, director Ka and Zhuang Buyuan spent several days screening actors.
If Zhuang Buyuan hadn't disagreed, the director would have wanted to drag someone from Hollywood to the level of an actor.
The two of them were struggling. When Zhuang Buyuan looked up, he saw Zhuang's father sneaking in.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"Let's see who plays me." Dad Zhuang laughed.
It was the first time in his life that he had been filmed in a movie, so he felt happy and embarrassed at the same time.
"I haven't chosen the role yet." Zhuang Buyuan said distressedly.
"Then I have a suggestion..."
"Dad, please stop suggesting this. I think you are either talking about Hua Zai or Fa Ge. They are handsome, but their acting skills and image..."
Zhuang Buyuan felt that, not to insult anyone, but between the two of them, one had insufficient acting skills and the other had a mismatched image, so they really couldn't support such a movie.
If nothing else, when these two people appear on the scene, it is easy to make people laugh... They look so familiar!
Zhuang Buyuan felt that this movie needed to find a relatively new face.
"No, no, no." Dad Zhuang shook his head and said, "What do you think of Secretary Sha?"
"Secretary Sha?" Zhuang Buyuan said, who is that?
"You bastard, don't you even watch such a popular TV series? Brother Yi!"
"Overlord?" Even the director was stunned, "I've seen his plays."
Kavin, I don’t know much about the domestic entertainment industry at all. When I was writing, I wanted to find a similar reference, but I ended up spending four hours just scrolling through posts like "acting skills" and "experienced actors"... ORZ.
I was rewarded without a nickname again. It’s already very difficult for me to update four times a day. I’m afraid I won’t be able to post more thanks for a while.
