Recently, news came out in the film and television circles in Beijing that Zhang Yuanjun, who had just finished playing Yang Guo, opened his own studio and invested in his own filming.
Became the laughing stock of everyone.
"What kind of personal studio is that I don't have a brokerage company and I just run the orders myself?"
"You don't know your last name even if you have two dollars in your hand. How many movies has he filmed? How many crews has he met? He dares to act on his own?"
"He has no director, no actors, and no distribution. Filming? He thought it was as simple as peeing in the mud."
There are even rumors that the crew of "The Night Banquet" mentioned Zhang Yuanjun during the preparatory meeting: "I'm just trying to make movies like others before I even have hair. If it doesn't work, if he succeeds, I'll show you."
There is no way to verify this. I don’t know whether it was Feng Xiaogang or Wang Zhonglei who said it.
To say that black and red are indeed red, Zhang Yuanjun is really popular.
"We are indeed preparing to make a movie by ourselves." The reporter got a definite answer from Zhang Yuanjun's agent. "We are the first artist studio in the country, and we will also be the first studio to invest in making movies."
"The movie is still casting, and actors and actresses are welcome to send letters and calls for consultation."
"Everyone is very confident and wants to make this show a success."
"There are definitely difficulties, but we are all working hard to solve them."
The industry has been very quiet recently. The news that Zhang Yuanjun established a studio and prepared a movie is indeed very eye-catching. Suddenly, the studio received more receptions and interviews.
As the mastermind of all this, Zhang Yuanjun must of course make a full appearance in order to promote himself and his new drama.
"It's a very interesting story." When talking about the new film, Zhang Yuanjun had a lot to say, "It's a crime suspense type, but the format is currently relatively rare in China. I hope everyone will like it by then."
"Preparing a movie requires things and difficulties. Some of them I had expected before, but most of them were unexpected." I must complain in front of the media and try to sympathize. "Really It’s very difficult, since the script was released and preparations started, I lost five pounds, which is even more exaggerated than when I was filming.”
The effect of this level of exposure is significant.
The first is the studio. In just two days, more than 50 resumes were received. Within a week, 17 people were finally occupied in the two offices of the studio. A rough functional framework has been established.
As for the crew, Wang Jinsong and Zhang Yuanjun, and even the academy, they received many audition requests from actors.
The outside world is not optimistic about it, but there are many people who want to try their luck. Making movies is still a very luxurious thing nowadays.
Wang Jinsong actually booked a room at the Muddle Hotel and held two auditions. Many people came, and even famous actors chose to take a chance.
For example, the goddess Long Dongxuan and Dong Huanhuan.
Um?
Zhang Yuanjun was just sitting down. The goddess Long became famous overnight. How could she come to audition for her "unable to succeed" crew?
"I've heard about his name for a long time." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
This senior is level 00 and just graduated last year.
Dong Xuan chatted for a few words and then said that he was here to test Su Mengdie.
Of course, Dong Xuan's appearance cannot be overemphasized. Everyone has to admit that she is a beauty.
For an already-famous actor, the audition requirements should not be too low, so Zhang Yuanjun directly asked her to audition for Su Mengdie's most beautiful crying scene with emotional transformation.
"You have 20 minutes to prepare." If you try other scenes, Zhang Yuanjun will give you 10 minutes at most.
"Okay." Dong Xuan took the script and read it carefully.
She had no lines in this scene, but she had to know what the opposing actor said to her so she could react.
During these 20 minutes, Zhang Yuanjun was also observing Dong Xuan, a dancer with a tall figure.
She relies on her looks to support the role of Dragon Goddess, but her acting skills need to be considered.
Dong Xuan took the script and walked slowly in the audition room while thinking about the character. Time passed quickly. Zhang Yuanjun temporarily acted as his opponent, playing the role of Lu Ziye, and said those extremely insulting words to her.
Wang Jinsong issued the start command.
Dong Xuan walked past Zhang Yuanjun.
Zhang Yuanjun read: "Mengdie is leaving too.
"That can't be stopped. I want to go back to Hong Kong Island. But I heard that in less than half a year, the deal with my new husband in Hong Kong Island will be cancelled."
Dong Xuan turned around and looked at her.
Zhang Yuanjun looked at her jokingly, and then said: "But I still have to learn from you. I have to eat from the bowl, look at the pot, and climb high branches all the way to Hong Kong Island. But that's not reliable, you see. Look, this man is so old that he still has to show off his face, just to earn money for his family."
Dong Xuan hit her.
"Ah." Zhang Yuanjun pretended, "Well done." Then he walked away.
Later, Lu Ziye had another monologue. Only by combining this monologue can a good atmosphere be created for Su Mengdie, but Zhang Yuanjun stopped reading, leaving Dong Xuan alone to brew his emotions.
The character Su Mengdie is not complicated, and this is the only difficult scene, but Dong Xuan's performance is not good enough.
There are tears but no emotion, and the emotions are not full. It is just dry crying.
Crying is not called acting, it is called skills, and the acting department will teach you.
Wang Jinsong said: "Performed very well."
A few people chatted for a few more words before sending Dong Xuan out.
At the end of the day's audition, no satisfactory actor was found.
Zhang Yuanjun asked Teacher Wang on the way back: "How was the negotiation at the factory? Will you pay?"
"We're still talking about it. But I'll find a director for you first."
"who?"
"Tian-like shape."
"Who!" Zhang Yuanjun went crazy. Teacher Tian, a great Bodhisattva, couldn't help himself, "Why don't you ask Teacher Hou Kening to take pictures for me?"
"You, Mr. Hou, have been away from the frontline crew for so long that your hands are raw."
Zhang Yuanjun wanted to find a young director to be his tool. He didn't want to wait on an old man on the set.
"Teacher Tian is the big brother. If he directs a movie, it's impossible for Qingying Film Studio and the academy not to pay for it. You have to think about it."
Zhang Yuanjun's change of attitude was so quick: "Teacher Tian is highly respected and it's an honor for me to direct my film, but I just don't know how much remuneration is appropriate to give him."
"I don't want your money," Wang Jinsong said. "He has read the script and likes this kind of avant-garde comedy. Even if I didn't tell him, he would probably have to find you."
"I just like that it's free." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "It's just that I'm worried that Teacher Tian will use my small crew as an experimental set, experimenting with this and that, which I can't afford to do."
"Don't worry, will he still take advantage of you? Without delaying your normal shooting, at most he will bring a few students to practice on the set."
"That's good. Then I'll treat Teacher Tian to a meal on the weekend."
"Um."
The addition of Mr. Tian Zhuangzhuang added fuel to the crew's preparations. "Famous" is no longer purely Zhang Yuanjun's personal drama, but also has an official coat of film school.
As a result, the crew successfully received a total investment of 840,000 yuan from Qingying Film Studio and the Academy, and rented filming equipment from Qingying Film Studio at nearly cost price.
Zhang Yuanjun took advantage of the academy, and the crew of "Famous" became more and more decent.
