Chapter 341 The movie "When a man is in love"

Star Entertainment, meeting room
Hu Jing came in with the documents, and several participants stood up to say hello.

"Mr. Hu."

"Producer Hu."

"Sister Jing."

Hu Jing glanced at the last one named Sister Jing, she was unshaven, it seemed that her son was already in elementary school, so she had the nerve to call her sister?

Women are different from men. More than 90% of men want to be brothers and fathers.

But for women, many people are still taboo about addressing, especially age-sensitive women, who will be struck by thunder if they are not careful.

Hu Jing is fine now, she is 24 years old and in her prime, she doesn't care about her name, but in a few years, especially when she is just 30 years old, this sister Jing might just go straight into the small books.

"The boss hasn't come yet?"

"Today the design institute came to send the design drawings, the boss went to see it, and will come over soon."

As expected of Wei Wu, he said that Cao Xuan and Cao Xuan had arrived. Just as he was speaking, Cao Xuan happily entered the meeting room. Everyone stood up to greet him, and Hu Jing asked curiously.

"The blueprint is ready?"

"It's done. The 20-story building includes a yard and a parking lot. The finished product is very beautiful. Come and see it in my office later."

Glancing at the people next to him, Cao Xuan added: "You guys come too, see if you have any opinions, and communicate with the design institute later. If there is no problem, we will start construction in October."

Fanxing Building is the headquarters of the company in the future. Everyone who is directly related to the working environment of the employees attaches great importance to it. After hearing Cao Xuan's words, everyone's face is full of joy and anticipation.

But after all, there is still business. After a few small chats, we started to enter the topic of the meeting.

This meeting is mainly for the new movie "When a Man is in Love", which is not only a script meeting but also a casting and pre-meeting meeting.

Cao Xuan sat at the main seat, and the producer Hu Jing presided over the meeting. This is also Cao Xuan's intention to make her feel more present.

"Official screenwriter, please introduce the plot."

Hu Jing pointed to a young man wearing glasses. The man was a little shy, but he still mustered up the courage to stand up and introduce him.

"Our play tells the story of a prodigal son who turns back. Due to the convenience of censorship, the background of the story is set in the 90s..."

This official screenwriter is called Guan Bu, one of several excellent screenwriters in the Fanxing Screenwriting Department. He has a bachelor's degree in Chinese from Beijing University. He once wrote romance novels on the Internet. starry.

Before that, Guan Bu had already participated in part of the screenwriting work of "The Dirty Princess" and "The Family of Gold Fans", showing his creative talent, especially good at emotional dramas.

"When Men Are in Love" is a romance film, and it happens to be the subject that Guanbu is best at.

In addition to the outline provided by Cao Xuan, a total of three screenwriters participated in the creation, with Guan Bu as the head.

Under the introduction of Guan Bu, some participants who had never read the script before had a general impression of the plot of the movie.

There are three versions of the movie "When a Man is in Love". The first one was the Korean version released in 2013, starring Korean actor Hwang Jung-min, and his representative work is Ding Qing, the elevator god of war in "New World".

In 2021, Taiwan Province made a movie of the same name, starring Tangyan's ex-boyfriend and famous entertainment scumbag Qiu Zhi,

Later, Bao Beier made a remake of "Northeast Love Brother", the plot is not much different from the previous two editions, it can be regarded as the mainland version or the online version.

The best of the three versions is South Korea. The plot is good, but the key is that Hwang Jung-min's acting skills are really good, and he is worthy of the top Korean actor.

Qiu Zhi was in the middle, but his performance was not bad. The main reason was that Huang Zhengmin's pearls were ahead and he was compared.

The worst one is Bao Beier. He can play the crazy Mr. Zhao, but he can't hold this kind of layered role, especially when compared with the first two, he is beaten in various ways.

Aside from his acting skills, his image is not as suitable as the other two. Huang Zhengmin is not good-looking, but it just fits the setting of the protagonist with a fierce appearance and a simple and kind heart.

Bao Beier's appearance is not fierce, even a bit comical. He can play the villain well because of Mr. Zhao's neurotic setting, which is regarded as a slanted sword.

But the hero of the movie is set to be a villain on the surface, but he is actually a good guy.

With Bao Beier's appearance, he can't be restrained playing the vicious low-level gangster, and the good guy is not convincing, and he wears a fake wig on his head. Even though it can be seen that he is acting with his heart, he can still feel the violation coming to his face. harmony.

Cao Xuan's appearance and appearance must be partial to Qiu Zhi, and the character setting is even more partial to Huang Zhengmin.

In other words, these three roles are all similar in setting, Huang and Qiu are more lovable, and they have added a branch line, which is relatively messy, and with the image problem of acting skills, they can't play well.

The characters are biased towards the first two editions, but the background of the story can be properly referred to the Mainland version.

The time background is set in the 90s, and the urban background is blurred. After all, there must be some relevant dark bridges. If it is stated clearly, it may arouse associations.

Even in the script, a main theme version was created. At critical moments, those black bosses can be brought to justice and passed the review.

Anyway, simply mentioning it will not affect the main line, and the highlights still revolve around the male and female protagonists.

The male and female protagonists are debt collectors and debtors at the beginning. With debt as the key point, the male protagonist chases the female protagonist, makes some unreasonable demands, and gradually conquers the female protagonist. mind.

It's a bit like "The Domineering President's Debt Wife" like the female channel. Regardless of whether the three views are positive or not, this model is still very pleasing.

From the initial happy friends to the middle, the male and female protagonists are together, the male protagonist's prodigal son turns around, and prepares to close the mountains to live a small life, and then stage a terminal illness.

The three great treasures of Korean dramas, amnesia, terminal illness, and car accident, although they are familiar, but they are really good when they are filmed, with a strong sense of plot conflict.

Afterwards, the male lead used this time to leave some backs for the female lead and made infatuated contributions, and then the female lead made various misunderstandings, and finally clarified that the male and female leads attacked and tortured the audience to death.

Frankly speaking, from the perspective of later generations, the plot is a bit old-fashioned, but even so, many viewers still like it.

Now in 2002, although the plot cannot be said to be novel, it still has a strong sense of freshness, and it can bring more "shock" to the audience.

Happy friends, prodigal son turned back, terminal illness, infatuation, all these elements together, the power should not be underestimated...

At least in Cao Xuan's opinion, there is still a market for this kind of mature commercial romance film in the current mainland film and television industry.

Under the premise of guaranteed quality, and the popularity of him and Hu Jing, I dare not say that there are too many, Xiao Bang is very promising, which is why he chose it to become the first film of Fanxing Films.

The plot of "Man in Progress" itself is not complicated, and there are not many local elements in Korea. It can be easily remade into Chinese, which is why it has been remade in two consecutive editions.

The star version of the script has been refined, the main plot remains unchanged, and some mainland elements are grafted in. Cao Xuan has read the script and is personally satisfied.

After the introduction of the plot, several people talked about the characters of the plot, and then began to discuss the casting.

The cast of "When a Man is in Love" is not complicated, the hero and heroine are the most important. In addition, the father of the heroine who is the catalyzer of the relationship between the hero and heroine is counted as one, and the father of the hero also has some roles.

In addition, the most important character is the black boss. This character is cunning and vicious. His subordinates who have followed him for many years say that he is black, but there is no lack of humanity at critical moments.

In addition, there are two followers of the heroine's friend/colleague and the heroine. There are not many roles, supporting roles, and other scattered roles, so it doesn't matter to list them one by one.

The heroine's father, Cao Xuan, intends to find Niu Ben. This old man's acting skills are stable, and he is relatively thin, so he is suitable for bed scenes. Jin Shijie from Taiwan Province is also good.

The hero's father, Cao Xuan, is not going to be another candidate, and is going to find his master Li Xuejian.

In the last "Your Answer" MV, the father and father cooperated well. In addition, the male protagonist's father also had some important scenes, so I gave Li Xuejian a hundred hearts.

And there is also a small selfishness. Although it is acting, it is always a bit awkward to call other actors "Dad", but Li Xuejian, the master, can greatly eliminate Cao Xuan's mentality.

As for the boss of the gang, there are many choices, such as Ni Dahong, Wang Jinsong, Liang Jiahui, Li Youbin, Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu brothers, and Zhang Guoli.

Either vicious, domineering, rude, or deep, there are so many things that this character can play, and you can get any kind of black boss you want.

The heroine's friend/colleague, the female artist of the company has no time to shoot, so Hu Jing gave her best friend Zhang Tong a hand.

After this girl graduated, although she was not as prosperous as the other golden flowers, she also acted in many plays, mostly supporting roles.

She has good friends with Hu Jing and Mei Ting. Mei Ting has a bit of a big sister personality. If she has the right resources, she will think of a good sister.

There are not many good friends in the Mei Ting circle, but Hu Jing and International Zhang are the ones who have a good relationship among the few golden flowers in the Chinese opera.

But these two obviously don't need the resources in her hands, so it's cheaper for Zhang Tong, who is second only to the two in friendship.

Not to mention Hu Jing, Fan Xing and even Guo Lan participated in the film and television productions, the leading role can not be guaranteed, and Zhang Tong can easily win a suitable partner with just a few words.

Zhang Tong would have signed Fanxing long ago if he hadn't felt that his relationship with Hu Jing would deteriorate and create distance if he joined the company.

But now it's not bad. She has no direct interest relationship with Mrs. Hu, and she is detached. Hu Jing always thinks of her when she has good things.

Zhang Tong is not very ambitious, he has no shortage of acting, earns a lot, and has a backer, so he lives a happy life.

As for the male lead's two attendants, Cao Xuan immediately thought of a candidate, and asked the casting director to go back to Nortel's 02-level dubbing class to see if there was a new student named Huang Bo.

With the appearance of Huang Bo, there is no need to act as a gangster, and the smell of a bum will come out when his shoulders are slumped.

Another follower, Cao Xuan, thought of Jiang Chao from the Air Force, who was Li Dazui from "Wulin Biography".

Cao Xuan has always felt that this actor is very talented, vicious, honest, cunning, funny, all kinds of character traits can perform with taste, and has the potential of a golden supporting role.

These two people can be ugly or fierce, and they are also talented in comedy. They don't steal the limelight from the protagonist, and they complement Cao Xuan's handsomeness. They are excellent candidates for the role of follower.

Huang Bo has already made his acting debut and starred in the TV movie "Get in the Car, Let's Go", which is "Guan Clean", and he has already seen a bit of inspiration.

The first part of "The Story of the Cooking Class" starring Jiang Chao has also been broadcast. He is the same age as Cao Xuan.

The characteristics of the two followers are that Huang Bo is small and clever, the male protagonist's dog-headed military adviser, but he has a net of bad moves, and Jiang Chao is stupid, but he is loyal and obedient.

Regardless of the achievements of later generations, the debut images of the two are more in line with these two roles, and acting skills are not a problem.

The main roles are basically delineated. The single option is basically not a big problem. The multi-option mainly depends on communication and finalization.

The next discussion will be held soon, which is also the most important topic of today's meeting——

director!

Movie directors are different from TV drama directors. Just bring in an experienced person for TV dramas. If the requirements are not high, the filming of cats and tigers will not be too bad.

However, movies pay attention to camera language, scene scheduling, and plot connection. Telling a good story within an hour and a half has high requirements for directors, and not just anyone can be a director.

At least among the two directors inside Fanxing, Cao Xuan didn't like any of them. There are quite a lot of directors outside, but it's hard to find.

It's hard to find a famous director, and there are many troubles.

For a new director, his ability is not guaranteed.

Ordinary directors have their own shortcomings.

According to the routine of entertainment, Cao Xuan should go out in person at this time. The new director is born, and the people who eat melons are shocked.

But Cao Xuan had a certainty in his heart, the reality is not to write novels, he might as well let Chen Hanzhu and the others do it himself, at least he has experience, he is just a rookie.

If the filming of "When Men Are in Love: Chasing Dreams in the Showbiz" is made, then he is ready to retire from the industry.

Not to mention ability issues, Cao Xuan didn't have the energy.

Later, he still has to prepare a new English album; near the end of the year, he also needs to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala; he also has to film, he is the leading actor, and has the most roles in movies; the company and other industries cannot be ignored; Let's talk about the cold, ask the warmth, and pay the public food...

If he becomes a director again, Cao Xuan is really afraid that he will die suddenly.

He worked so hard to earn so much money, but he died without enjoying the blessings. He couldn't close his eyes when he died.

Cao Xuan checked the mainland and Xiangjiang directors all over the place, and still felt that Chen Kexin was the most suitable.

Works such as "Sweet Honey", "New Love" and "If Love" are all high-ranking romance films. The shooting techniques are both delicate and can relatively capture the essence of some commercial films.

All things considered, it is indeed a very good director candidate.

Moreover, Chen Kexin is easy to invite, and I don't know if he started a company or not. In the past two years, he has hardly directed any works directly. On the contrary, he has supervised and produced a large number of horror films, and the salary is sufficient. I believe Director Chen is willing to go north to film.

As for Chen Kexin's love of black money, Fanxing's crew is not blind.

He doesn't care what the other party's status is in Xiangjiang, he came to the mainland, signed the contract, whether it is a dragon coiling or a tiger crouching, if he dares to hack Boss Cao's money, he has 100 ways to make him spit it out obediently.

Others are used to these Xiangjiang directors or actors, but Cao Xuan has no such idea.

He pays people to make movies, and he is the boss, but he confesses to the employees, and listens to them yelling at him, shitting on the neck of his boss.

It's impossible to kneel and beg for food. Cao Xuan is not so cheap, so he can't kneel down.

Love talent belongs to love talent, Cao Xuan can also make some concessions on some things, but the premise is not to touch the bottom line.

Otherwise, in Xiangjiang's environment, Cao Xuan could throw people in front of him and admit his mistakes by spending money...

　Today's condition is not good, it's 7000
