Da Tiantian didn't understand: "Why can't Prince Long do this?"
Wei Jun asked back: Tiantian, don’t you know what his abilities are?
Da Tiantian: "...but he has a good father just like me. If I didn't have a good family background, I wouldn't be able to play the leading female role."
Da Tiantian’s self-awareness was quite accurate, and it made Wei Jun laugh.
"You are different from Prince Long. You are much stronger than him."
Wei Jun said: "No matter what, at least you don't take drugs."
Da Tiantian's eyes widened: "Prince Long is taking drugs?"
"Is it weird?"
"Does Jackie Chan know?" Da Tiantian was shocked.
This kind of thing is indeed not uncommon in the circle.
But Da Tiantian has just entered the circle not long ago.
The most important thing is that no one is so blind as to let Da Tiantian see the dark side of the entertainment industry.
So Da Tiantian really doesn’t know.
Wei Jun shook his head: "I don't know if Jackie Chan knows that Prince Long is taking drugs, but even if he does, what can he do? He's his son."
To outsiders, Prince Long deserved whatever fate he had.
But to Jackie Chan, no matter how useless he is, he is still his own son.
It is indeed normal for Wei Jun to understand Jackie Chan's thoughts and actions in supporting his son.
But he is not Jackie Chan, and Prince Long is not his son, so he is too lazy to support Prince Long.
"'Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave' tells the story of the character and pride of the Han people.
"Do you think it's appropriate to let a drug addict play this role, Tiantian?" Wei Jun asked.
Da Tiantian shook her head vigorously: "It's definitely not appropriate, Wei Jun, I support you."
"Since the Dragon Crown Prince is no longer needed, all the others have been rejected. What kind of people are they? They can't even speak Mandarin and yet they want to act in a historical film."
Wei Jun said with disdain.
In addition to Prince Long, Jackie Chan also provided Wei Jun with a list of actors.
Most of the actors on the list are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Naturally, they didn't dare to touch the heroine, no one dared to mess with the sweet princess.
But as for the male characters, they seem to want to catch them all.
But Wei Jun didn't like any of them.
Yes, I didn’t like any of them.
Even Da Tiantian couldn't understand this.
"Mr. Wei, you look down on none of these people? They're all excellent actors, right?"
Wei Jun scoffed: "Excellent? What the hell? Besides, even if you're an excellent actor, not all roles are suitable for you."
Isn't it wrong to go to Hong Kong and Taiwan to cast actors in historical war films instead of mainland actors? This isn't a gangster film.
Industry specializing in surgery.
If he were to make a police and gangster film, Wei Jun would definitely use actors from Hong Kong.
However, when it comes to making historical films, whether it is actors from Hong Kong or Taiwan, they really don't match in terms of temperament.
Especially the younger generation.
Even Jackie Chan, Wei Jun felt that it was not very suitable.
But Jackie Chan's status has reached a level where he can enjoy special treatment.
Why do others get special treatment?
Just because I'm from Hong Kong? Taiwan?
People from these two places don't get any extra points in Wei Jun's eyes.
"Celebrities from these two places don't understand history, and it's not certain whether they even consider themselves human.
Isn't it crazy to use them in "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave"?
Wei Jun never changed his mind from the beginning to the end: except for Jackie Chan and foreign actors, all other actors in this movie were selected from mainland actors.
The first criterion for selection is the image. If it is a tough guy image, this is a war film.
The secondary condition is acting skills, and those with good acting skills are naturally given priority.
Fame comes second, and by that standard, let the news spread.”
Da Tiantian said in embarrassment: "If we do that, it will be too disrespectful to Jackie Chan and that is unacceptable."
"I'll call Jackie Chan myself."
Wei Jundao.
Wei Jun still admires Jackie Chan's achievements.
Moreover, Jackie Chan has always been clear about his principles. Compared with those other two-faced stars, he is a breath of fresh air.
So Wei Jun didn't want to be enemies with Jackie Chan.
But a good father will produce a bad son.
He really raised a useless son who only let his father down.
Wei Jun was prepared for a breakdown in talks with Jackie Chan.
After all, he really didn't give Jackie Chan any face at all.
But the eldest brother is still very generous, at least on the surface.
"The director has the final say on casting matters. If Director Wei says it's not suitable, then it's not suitable. You can just pick it."
"I will definitely cooperate. I will join the crew as soon as it is established."
"Goodbye, Director Wei."
Da Tiantian listened to the entire conversation between Wei Jun and Jackie Chan, and she breathed a sigh of relief after listening to it.
"Jackie Chan is still very easy to talk to."
Wei Jun glanced at Da Tiantian and shook his head, saying, "Jackie Chan was so polite just now, which means I have completely offended him.
It’s just that they’ve all been through a lot, so it won’t be so obvious.”
"Ah? What should we do? Replace him?" Da Tiantian was shocked.
Wei Jun said in a deep voice: "No need, guess why Jackie Chan doesn't break up with me?"
"Because he has good manners?" Da Tiantian guessed.
Wei Jun laughed. "Nonsense. He also thought my script was well-written and that 'Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave' had the potential to be a hit, so he didn't want to miss this opportunity and didn't want to really open up about his conflict with me."
After a pause, Wei Jun continued, "If 'The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave' really becomes a hit, Jackie Chan will still be friends with me and may even invite me to be the director of his next movie.
But if the performance of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" fails to meet expectations, hehe..."
Wei Jun didn’t say the rest of the words, but Da Tiantian understood.
"Is your world as men so complicated?" Da Tiantian asked.
Wei Jun glanced at Da Tiantian and grumbled, "A woman's world is more complicated."
Da Tiantian retorted: "No, the female friends around me are all very nice to me.
Wei Jun rolled his eyes and said: "When I become the number one director in China, all the male stars in the entertainment industry will treat me well."
Successful people are surrounded by good people.
Because they dare not offend you at all.
Ultimately, Wei Jun is not particularly successful yet.
There is still a lot of room for improvement.
However, this situation will be greatly improved after the release of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave".
Wei Jun is very confident about this.
"Tiantian, do you want to defend Zhang Zhenyi?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Investigate Prince Long's drug use. If you have solid evidence and photos, report Prince Long after filming 'Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave'."
With this leverage in hand, I can make Jackie Chan behave himself during filming."
Da Tiantian: "..."
The world of men is really too complicated. The news of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" quickly spread within the industry.
At the same time, news also spread that Wei Jun had embarrassed actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Wei Jungong said that except for Jackie Chan, the other twelve actors in the Thirteen Soldiers must be selected from mainland actors.
When the news came out, Hong Kong and Taiwan were naturally filled with criticism, while mainland actors applauded.
Regional conflicts can never be resolved.
In the entertainment industry, regional conflicts are even more intense.
Because resources are limited.
Hong Kong and Taiwan are not big places, but they have many celebrities.
They have more opportunities, which naturally squeezes out the space for mainland actors.
If it weren't for Mr. Chen's nude photo scandal, the mainland entertainment industry might still be dominated by stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Mr. Chen has done a tremendous job in this regard; without him, there would be no way to break the monopoly of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars on top mainland resources. "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" is undoubtedly a blockbuster, with the largest investment of 2011.
Director Wei Jun’s first film was “Warring States”. “Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave” is a play of the same type as “Warring States”, so the risk of Wei Jun making a mistake is extremely small.
The investors are optimistic, the director is reassuring, and the leading actor is still Jackie Chan.
The establishment of this film project represents the top resources of the Chinese-language film industry.
What Wei Jun wants to shoot is "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave", which requires twelve mainland male actors.
This pie is too big.
So Wei Jun discovered that no one really takes privacy rights seriously.
His phone was flooded with calls, and he had no idea who leaked the information.
Even to Yaya, some people took the initiative to show their goodwill and tried to be her lover.
Yaya also felt uncomfortable about this.
"I thought I was popular enough, but I didn't expect that they weren't targeting me at all. They just wanted to get to you through me."
Yaya sighed.
Wei Jun is making great progress.
She is now the most popular female star in the entertainment industry this year, but she still feels like she can't keep up with Wei Jun.
Wei Jun smiled and comforted him: "Don't be disappointed, movies and TV are still different. I want to make movies with different appeal."
"I understand the truth, but you're progressing too fast."
Yaya said.
She felt that she was losing control of this man.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have kept fish.
Of course, Mr. Wei could only laugh it off.
"Have you decided on the actors?" Yaya asked.
Wei Jun was about to speak when the phone rang again.
