Coquettish Rebirth

Besides Zhu Bajie, Jia Hongjian also had to consider the candidate for Drifting Monk.As for the Drifting Monk, he designed the entire plot before. This role is an auxiliary role, not a simple hard-working role.Just like Jia Hongjian's previous design, this character also represents a basic human nature of Tang Seng-survival instinct!If Sun Wukong represents Tang Seng's various killing methods and other things, Zhu Bajie represents a series of desires such as being lazy, lascivious and afraid of being tired, and so on. Well, a person who is honest and at the same time still under the role of "tour guide" still has to do a lot of things, such as helping Tang Seng to ask for help.

If the other actors were looking for someone, Jia Hongjian could at least quickly come up with an actor that fit his idea, but this Drifting Man was a bit out of sorts.Because the Drifting Monk is just like the one designed in the story, it has to look a little "exotic".According to the setting, Monk Sha is a person who ran a caravan in Central Asia since he was a child. The location of his house, in this historical period, is the northeastern part of Iran that was included in the Anxi Protectorate by the Tang Dynasty. of.This Iranian is a Persian in race, and the Persian belongs to the race that is more Mediterranean among the whites. All in all, the hair is darker and the pupils are darker. They are not as blond as the Nordics. Many can also be said It is the kind that is not uncommon for black hair and black eyes!

But Jia Hongjian didn't know much about Hollywood stars, and he wasn't familiar with them. He was familiar with only a few stars.And Monk Sha still needs someone who is more honest and stable to play the role of an honest person.Is there such a star in Hollywood?have!Of course there are, like Tom Hanks.But the question is, Mr. Tom Hanks is always the protagonist, okay?When did someone become a supporting role?Even if someone is willing to condescend to play a supporting role, how much can Jia Hongjian give?His net worth is more than ten million U.S. dollars—yes, although Tom Hanks is an actor, he just didn’t report in the 2000 million club of Hollywood superstars, and his salary is basically 1000 million to 1200 million U.S. dollars. about ten thousand dollars.

Of course, Jia Hongjian can ask Tom Hanks to give a discount. Even Tom Hanks himself complained to Jia Hongjian that his salary was too high-yes, this man himself complained to Jia Hongjian Why would he take so much money himself!This is not pretense!This man still doesn't understand why the boss of a film company would willingly give him 1000 million US dollars at a time.That's not a small fortune!He loves money, yes.But this Tom Han has always felt that what he is acting is just like that. Maybe he can make money by acting, but it is not enough to make 1000 million US dollars for one play!So, every time he gets paid, he always thinks in his mind whether he should take the initiative to refund part of it to the boss of the film company.So that people can get more...

Tom Hanks is such a wonderful man.However.Although Jia Hongjian can let Hanks get a discount, how much can the discount be?fold?That's $600 million in half, please!This 600 million US dollars is 4000 million RMB!As for Chen Daoming, he gave a salary of 300 million yuan, and Jiang Wen's was about the same - although later generations followed the vigorous development of the film and television market on the mainland.Their net worth has also risen, even reaching the level of tens of millions or even 2000 million, but in this era, if they want to be worth tens of millions, can anyone hire them?This is only in 2000. What kind of market is the market in mainland China at this time?It was all made with a small investment and small production. Even according to the commercial pricing, the net worth of these two is not high!

So it's obvious that Jia Hongjian wants to save a lot of money on the actors' remuneration this time, and even Ang Lee has to save money. Giving 200 million US dollars is enough to support him. In this way, the entire cast can save a lot Money, even the entire crew can save a lot of money, and then the saved dollars can be used to make special effects!In this way, even with only 5000 million US dollars, Jia Hongjian has the confidence to shoot the effect of an American blockbuster with a production cost of 1 million yuan!And this is not talking about an American blockbuster film with an investment of 3000 million yuan including publicity funds, but the kind that simply costs 5000 million yuan for filming!Because a general blockbuster film invests 5000 million yuan, why not spend at least [-] million yuan on the cast?On a slightly larger scale, it is easy for [-] million yuan to go into the pockets of actors and directors, so that in the end, [-] million yuan can really be used for filming!

In this way, less money is given to the actors and crew. Looking back, Jia Hongjian and the others have nearly 5000 million US dollars to spend on shooting and post-production. Hung-chien thought of a good gimmick, so why should the overall effect not be exhausted by other people's blockbusters with an investment of 2000 million U.S. dollars?Yes or no?Now that they made money back, wouldn't Jia Hongjian and the others get more money?Don't they earn more?

So, after such a calculation, Jia Hongjian basically gave up on Tom Hanks.But among other American actors, are there any honest people who can play honest people?And it has to be white, not black—after all, there shouldn’t be black people in Nagata, Persia at that time!Moreover, such an actor who plays the role of an honest man, it's better to be cheap, preferably the kind that can be done for 200 million dollars...

After much deliberation, Jia Hongjian suddenly thought of a person—the fat actor who played the fat accountant in a movie like Will Smith's "The Rival of All People"!As for the fat man, on the one hand he looks really honest, but his acting skills are pretty good.Although it seems that the fat man has never become a well-known supporting role, at least Jia Hongjian still performed well in this movie!It's just... What is the fat man's name? Jia Hongjian doesn't know... Okay, let's talk about this kind of thing later, if it's really not possible, let's go to the United States to hold an audition, and try to see how various actors with a net worth of 200 million compare OK

After probably thinking of this here, Jia Hongjian just called Li An, "Hey, Lao Li, I thought of the configuration of the three leading actors here. Let's see what you think..." As he said, Jia Hung-chien told Li Ang the names of the three people.After he said this, Li An was speechless at that time!Lao Li never thought that Jia Hongjian would do things so quickly and actively!Originally, he just wanted to perfunctory Jia Hongjian first, and then dragged it off until the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was almost finished, but who knew that Jia Hongjian would come to find an actor now!

hiss!This is how to do ah?You know, for others, Li An can continue to be perfunctory, but what he is facing is Jia Hongjian, the boss who pays money!He can't make the boss unhappy?But on the other hand, he is a kind of "delay" in doing things. He doesn't like to prepare well in advance. It was originally a shot in the northwest desert, if it was prepared in advance and went well, then it would have been 5 minutes.But, he, Ang Lee, just didn't think ahead, and let the actors come by themselves when they got to the scene, and then he insisted on filming a dozen or twenty times to choose what he liked.Then such a thing that can be done in 5 minutes took him a full day of shooting!

With such a personality, it would be really difficult for him to forcefully come and prepare in advance.If this is faced with other people, maybe Li An will be perfunctory, and will do it all over again when he starts to take power.But it's not someone else who is talking to him now, it's Jia Hongjian!That is the benefactor who gave the money!He didn't dare to be perfunctory to Jia Hongjian!

So at this time, Li Anna really had to follow Jia Hongjian's rhythm! "Well...the three of them...I'm not familiar with Chen Daoming. I've heard Jiang Wen's words. I'm not too sure about their acting skills. Maybe I'll have to see their acting skills later. As for Fei Xiang... …He seemed to have acted in movies in the 80s, but I haven’t seen any of his movies. Later, when he performed on Broadway, it was okay, so it shouldn’t be a problem to let him come…”

Hey!This is really amazing, Li An actually agrees with Fei Xiang, who Jia Hongjian thinks is the most unreasonable, but does not agree with Chen Daoming and Jiang Wen, who Jia Hongjian thinks he should agree with!However, Jia Hongjian's desire for domination would not be so strong, he would not say that he would immediately take over all the preparatory work of the film and then would not let Ang Lee do anything - this kind of thing once heard It's like something a mother with a strong ruling desire would do, okay?

So, Jia Hongjian nodded, "Well, let me say hello to those two people later, and tell them that you are interested in them and want to see their acting skills later. But I won't show them." The script, okay? Anyway, when you finish filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, let’s talk about it. Let’s not rush it too much. They didn't get it right..."

Jia Hongjian was not stupid, of course he could hear the little bit of reluctance in Li An's words.Although Li An didn't say what he meant, why couldn't he hear his hesitant attitude and embarrassed tone when he spoke?So after hearing this, Jia Hongjian also understood, if Li An has his own ideas, let him go!Anyway, Jia Hongjian himself had never thought of becoming a boss, the most he could do was to join in and have fun.Participating now is just playing, isn't it just playing when you get involved later?Watching an awesome movie being filmed with my own participation, and then gradually becoming an awesome movie, this kind of rush to witness a miracle is very attractive in itself!
