China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 481: Shock of all kinds of casting! What kind of movie are you going to make? !

【Modified】

Wang Jinghua looked at the news on the Internet and narrowed her eyes.

I originally wanted to call Zhu Yawen, but by chance, Zhu Yawen came in.

During this period, Zhu Yawen actually did not shoot many dramas. Apart from "Never Gone", he only took on one drama "Underground Fire", a spy war drama, in which he played the leading male role and played an underground party member.

After that, he would fly frequently between the mainland and the United States, because the preliminary processing work of "Uncharted" was almost completed, and he would basically join the crew soon.

Acting with Jackie Chan and speaking English did make him feel a little nervous.

"Have you read the news on the Internet?"

As soon as he came in, Zhu Yawen heard Sister Hua's voice.

"Of course, my buddy is like a megaphone in the entertainment industry, any news can cause a sensation on the entire Internet."

Zhu Yawen laughed self-deprecatingly, and then answered: "But Sister Hua, do you still want to ask me about my role? I'm not in this role, and I don't have the mood or time to participate. Uncharted will be joining the crew next month."

"The pre-production time for your movie was too long." Wang Jinghua did not expect Zhu Yawen to interrupt her and said lightly.

"It's a bit long, but it's almost ready to shoot, which is a good thing. I can't help with the preliminary work."

Wang Jinghua did not answer this time, and spoke after a moment.

"That's fine. I'll ask about the role myself this time. I can't ask you to pass on the message every time."

"If you ask me to pass on the message, I will do my best to pass it on, Sister Hua, but I really don't know what role you want this time."

Wang Jinghua nodded.

Today, the actors under her include Chen Daomin, Carina Lau, Xia Yu, Lu Yi, Bai Baihe and Guo Jinfei, a large number of them, covering a large number of middle-aged and elderly male protagonists.

Wang Jinghua really doesn't believe that the characters under her control can match any of Guan Ling and Ning Hao's movies? !

Impossible!

But before this, Wang Jinghua and Guan Ling had very little cooperation, mainly because Guan Ling was famous for only looking for his own people.

The key point is that they make money together with the big bosses in the industry, so Wang Jinghua has no choice.

But unlike other agents, Wang Jinghua at least has a bond with Guan Ling through Zhu Yawen.

I believe Guan Ling would not reach out to hit someone who smiles at him.

As the so-called top agent in the industry, it would be a bit too disappointing if the actors under his management could not always star in movies directed by big directors.

Zhu Yawen nodded and suddenly said, "How about I ask him for a character framework summary? Let's study it first?"

"Can you do it?"

Wang Jinghua naturally would not refuse. If there was such a character summary, it would be more targeted for her.

Having been an agent for so many years, she is still very confident about the acting skills of her actors.

As long as those characters are somewhat compatible with them, Wang Jinghua believes that everyone can create the effect that Guan Ling wants.

"Just give it a try. I'm not going to say anything big."

In front of him, Zhu Yawen called Guan Ling.

After a few beeps, Guan Ling answered the call.

"Hello, godfather."

Zhu Yawen's first sentence made Wang Jinghua's eyes widen!
This young man is really good at playing around!
And Zhu Yawen really doesn’t mind being embarrassed!
On the other end of the phone, Guan Ling knew what Zhu Yawen was going to say when he heard his voice, and said directly: "You should know that the filming of Uncharted is about to start, and you don't have time to shoot this movie. That means Wang Jinghua asked you to ask about the role, right?"

Zhu Yawen touched his nose and said with a smile: "Father is still smart."

"Is Wang Jinghua here?"

"Yes, she is right next to me."

"Just turn on the speakerphone. I'm very busy these days. Ask her to read the names of the artists under her company and I'll check them in my mind. If not, there's no need to waste the effort. I'm very busy recently, and only you few can call me. I've blocked all other phones. By the way, if you have time, come and dub "Even if the Wind Rises" for me later."

"completely fine!"

Zhu Yawen covered the microphone and turned to look at Wang Jinghua, "Sister Hua, Director Guan guessed it was you right away and asked me to turn on the speakerphone."

This time, Wang Jinghua couldn’t do it.

After the hands-free function is turned on,
"Sister Hua, I know you are planning to have your artists appear in Ning Hao's new play. I really want to promote cooperation with you. Since I am very familiar with the characters, you can just tell me the names of your artists. If I hear a suitable one, I will stop immediately."

So careless?

Wang Jinghua was slightly stunned.

"Director Guan, please wait a moment." Wang Jinghua was a little nervous and quickly asked her assistant Yang Tianzhen to pull out the list of all the artists under her.

"Chen Daomin..."

"stop!"

As soon as she spoke, Wang Jinghua heard Guan Ling shout "Stop". The brakes were stepped on so hard that Wang Jinghua's lips were almost broken.

It’s not Guan Ling’s fault that he shouted so quickly, but Chen Daomin’s voice instantly made Guan Ling freeze in a story in “Wild Tales”. When an engineer was buying a birthday cake in a cake shop, his car was towed away, leaving only a ticket.

There was no no-parking sign where he parked.

As a senior talent, he is very reasonable, and what these departments do seems quite unreasonable to him.

Because his car was towed away, his return home was hindered. By the time he got home through the traffic jam, his daughter's birthday party had already ended.

The daughter ignored him.

The next day, he went to the department specifically responsible for this to file a complaint, but was still treated perfunctorily. The staff only said that they believed in the rules and that the evidence was solid, but they did not send anyone to verify his statement. For this reason, the engineer angrily smashed the glass of the institution.

You know, although departments often hinder each other, when they meet ordinary people, they will quickly unite.

Soon, he lost his job and faced divorce.

These things made him suddenly furious, so he deliberately parked his car in a prohibited location and was towed away by a tow truck. Then, an explosion occurred at the city's vehicle management company.

If this story happened in the country, the ending would naturally be jail time.

There is a high probability that the sewing machine will smoke when stepped on.

"This man is very cruel!"

However, since the background is set in Thailand, Guan Ling did not hesitate to make satires, but directly turned the news into explosive news. Countless people took to the streets to support him, which made him gain the support of many people. In the end, he was acquitted, his wife and children returned to him, and institutions such as urban management companies began to attach importance to facts.

This is just a small unit in the movie.

However, the role requirement for engineers is that they naturally have to have a righteous face. Only a righteous and furious face can arouse people's sympathy and create a huge contrast.

And Chen Daomin is a good choice.

He has such a positive look on his face, and in this drama, perhaps some very obvious sparks can be created!

Afterwards, Wang Jinghua continued to call out names, causing Guan Ling to pause for a moment when he was reading Guo Jinfei, but soon asked him to continue. When it came to Hu Jun, Guan Ling called him back again.

In the film unit, there is a script about road rage, which is a story about a social elite and an ordinary middle-aged man who overtook each other in the wilderness, and they got impulsive and ended up dying.

Hu Jun's appearance is not suitable for playing this middle-aged elite, but he is still very suitable for playing a middle-aged down-and-out man. As for Bai Baihe, Carina Lau and others, Guan Ling has no interest.

"Chen Daomin and Hu Jun, you can ask them to go directly to Ning Hao for the audition, but others cannot do that for now."

"Understood. I will have them contact Director Guan as soon as possible."

"This drama has six units, and these two are the male protagonists of two of them. This drama has no ranking, so if you care about this, don't come."

Guan Ling paused, but still reminded, "I don't like trouble."

Wang Jinghua also narrowed her eyes, "Director Guan, don't worry, they can tell the difference between the big and small Wangs."

If it were any other director, Wang Jinghua might be worried about these two people, but when it comes to the combination of Ning Hao and Guan Ling, as long as there is nothing wrong with their brains, Wang Jinghua doesn't need to worry.

As the call was hung up, Wang Jinghua finally understood why Guan Ling was so efficient.

Because he seemed to have figured out the character's entire life before filming the movie.

Just like what happened on the phone just now, just by hearing the names, he casually assigned them, which seemed to decide whether the actors could participate in the movie. Isn't this also determining the lives of these two actors?

Previously, Wang Jinghua was in charge of planning and always believed that as an agent, her best job was to help artists choose good roles and movies.

At this moment, she seemed to feel the feeling of being manipulated by fate.

……

The outside world was in turmoil and very lively, but all this had little to do with Guan Ling.

After the official announcement, Guan Ling has been devoted to the final editing and completion process of "Even If the Wind Rises".

The casting was led by Ning Hao and reviewed by Guan Ling.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe Ning Hao, but Guan Ling has a finished product in his mind and understands most of the stars. Even if it’s just an audition, this can improve efficiency.

Since this movie required so many characters, Lingyun Media soon received countless pieces of information.

The industry once again witnessed the terrifying influence brought by the combination of Ning Hao and Guan Ling.

After the Venice Film Festival, the film market entered a quiet period throughout September. That is, the completion of Chen Kaige's "Along with the Gods" attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

But it's just a piece of news.

What caused the most excitement among actors in the entire industry was naturally the audition news for "Wild Tales".

The auditions were crazy!
There have been rumors that the movie that Director Ning is going to shoot this time is a crazy and aimless film.
Almost every character has a hint of revenge.

But no one has any idea how crazy it is.

It is just rumored that the background of this drama is likely to be set in Thailand.

However, soon, news about many actors spread, causing the industry to fall into a scene of extreme shock.

Chen Daomin, Hu Jun, Jing Tian, ​​and Hu Ge were the first few actors selected. When Wang Luodan joined later, the industry was a little confused, and Bai Baihe, who was under Wang Jinghua, narrowed her eyes.

Wang Luodan, naturally Guan Ling gave face to Guo Jingyu.

Among the female characters in the six units, the only ones with more screen time are the kitchen waitress and the bride at the final wedding.

When Jingtian wanted to join, the road administration wanted to spend money at the beginning.

But since the role of a waiter didn't require much acting skills and only required being a vase, Guan Ling didn't take the money, but gave the role to Jing Tian, ​​as a way of showing some feedback for Lu Zheng's previous support.

Guan Ling also knew that this role would most likely not add much to Jing Tian.

Of course, this role will not affect the entire movie because of Jingtian’s joining.

Wang Luodan, naturally, plays the bride at the wedding.

She collapsed on the spot when she found out her husband was cheating on her, and the person he cheated on was a guest at the wedding, so she started hacking people. In revenge, she lifted up her wedding dress in front of a security guard on the balcony...

My husband saw it with his own eyes.

For a moment, the whole wedding was filled with blood and gore, and the newlyweds were so angry that they wanted to strangle each other to death.

So ridiculous!

But it’s really cool.

Anyone can play this role, Guan Ling was simply giving face to Guo Jingyu.

Because Guan Ling will not let his own people play this role. After all, it will not improve his acting skills or his future.

In other words, people like Wang Luodan who are still working in the television industry can only have a small improvement in their status based on this movie.

Brother Hu is naturally the social elite in the road rage case. Guan Ling is quite confident in him, but only asks Brother Hu to increase his size and muscles. After all, this play involves a scene of two people fighting each other.

Guan Ling guessed that Hu Jun would beat Brother Hu to a pulp given his small physique.

These actors alone have shocked the entire industry!

It’s hard to say that Chen Daomin is indeed a big star with great national popularity.

There is no need to say more about Brother Hu’s popularity among the people.

Although Hu Jun has not been very popular recently, people still know this name.

Wang Luodan is really average.

Jingtian was ridiculed by countless netizens a while ago because of "Warring States".

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for these few people to make a hit movie together, right?
Who will support the box office?

But it's not over yet.

Soon, many newcomers joined the cast, and countless fans instantly knew who would support the box office.

Liu Dehua landed in Shanghai after returning from Venice. The next day, the news that Liu Dehua joined the film caused quite a stir in the industry!
Afterwards, Guangxian Group officially announced that Deng Chaohui would join the film.

Later, the participation of Wanda Group's Wang Sicong and Cannes Film Festival winner You Benchang made this drama the most sensational event in the entire industry!
"How many actors are there? Ning Hao's new play "Wild Stories" has many super stars joining!"

"Wang Sicong seems to be in a state of confusion and was dumped by his girlfriend, which was a huge blow. She participated in Ning Hao's movie because she was a female star?!"

"Liu Dehua returned from Venice and went straight to Hengdian to meet Guan Ling, and then the role was finalized!"

"You Benchang is back! He guest-starred in Ning Hao's movie just to repay Guan Ling for his insight!"

The news came and went, making the entire industry dizzy.
But it’s not over yet. As the filming of "Along with the Gods" was completed, a rumor soon came out again that perhaps many actors under Guan Ling will make guest appearances in this movie.

This news was first confirmed by Fan Bingbing.

However, during the confirmation process, Fan Bingbing claimed that he would only make a friendly guest appearance, meaning he would just show his face and not have many scenes.

Everyone thought that Yang Mi and Liu Yifei could do it too, but they didn't.

Afterwards, Zhang Shi was confirmed to star in the film.

There are all kinds of news on the Internet. If everyone was just slightly shocked by the previous actors' joining, the emergence of these news now directly caused collective confusion in the industry.

Inevitably, a thought came to everyone's mind, making everyone feel as if thousands of ants were crawling in their hearts, and their hearts were in turmoil:
What kind of movie are Guan Ling and Ning Hao going to shoot? !
