Chapter 258: Sleeping(1/2)
Author: The cat’s voice remains
Yu Feihong really wants to win the role of Princess Yushu. He can give it to Zeng Lai, Gao Yuanyuan, Hu Jing, or she can play the role. Anyway, the good news will not go to outsiders.
Yang Shoucheng looked at Tang Jili. He was also a man of his word. Now that Lu Bu was the favorite, he would not interfere in the selection of other roles.
Tang Jili was considering his own casting, but he did not rush to answer Yu Feihong's question. Instead, he asked: "Which actress do you want to recommend? We can discuss whether it is suitable."
This was enough respect. Yu Feihong nodded, then poked Lu Bu with his finger and handed him the right to recommend: "You can tell me."
"Me?" Lu Bu was startled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, Director Tang, Feihong is not only the vice president of my studio, but also a very good actor. He has the character in "Little Li Flying Knives" Classic characters such as Fairy Jinghong, Murong Qiudi in "The Sword of the Third Young Master", and A'Zhu in "Dragon" are known as the 'most beautiful women in ancient costumes'..."
Yu Feihong's cheeks suddenly turned red, like a ripe persimmon, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to burrow in. This was not her intention. Who knew that Lu Bu actually praised her, and how exaggerated he was.
Yang Shoucheng and Tang Jili looked at each other with smiles on their faces. They were both experienced lovers, so how could they not see that Lu Bu and Yu Feihong had an unusual relationship.
In terms of appearance and acting skills, Yu Feihong is suitable for the role of Princess Yushu, but these two points alone are not enough.
An actor plays a great role in the final box office of a movie. This is mainly reflected in three aspects. The first is the actor's popularity, which has an advertising effect on the publicity before and after the movie is released. The bigger the actor, the more topical it will be. High; the second is the actor's acting skills. If the actor has good acting skills, the quality of the movie is guaranteed; the third is the actor's appearance, whether it matches the role in the movie, which determines the audience's choice when watching the movie. Will there be drama at any time?
When Lu Bu finished speaking, Yu Feihong glared at him lovingly and angrily, then took out the information of Zeng Jing, Hu Jing, and Gao Yuanyuan from his bag, and said: "Mr. Yang, Director Tang, these are from our studio Three actresses."
Yang Shoucheng motioned to Tang Jili to take a look.
Tang Jili didn't hesitate and took the information and looked through it.
Lu Bu didn't even know that Yu Feihong had made such thorough preparations.
But Zeng Lai, Hu Jing, and Gao Yuanyuan all faced the same problem as Yu Feihong. Their appearance and acting skills were adequate, but they lacked popularity. This "popularity" refers to "box office appeal."
Among them, Zeng Lai did better, starring in "A Mouse Falls in Love with a Cat", which earned more than 10 million at the box office, but most of it was carried by Andy Lau.
The total investment of "Myth" is estimated to be 160 million, and the box office of at least 480 million will be needed to recover the capital.
Last year, the top three Chinese-language movies at the box office were "Mobile Phone" with 56 million, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" with 41 million, and "Infernal Affairs 3" with 36 million.
480 million is a difficult goal, so we can’t just have three markets: the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan Province. We must expand to other parts of Asia.
Tang Jili has been making movies for so many years, so he can understand this clearly, so he explained it tactfully.
In fact, Yu Feihong also understood that he was just giving it a try.
Lu Bu must understand, after all, the ultimate goal of making movies is to make money.
Finally, the role of Princess Ok Soo is still tentatively scheduled to be played by Kim Hee Sun.
However, Yu Feihong also won a role, that is, the supporting role of Nangong Yan and the supporting role of Xu Gui, and they were given to Xia Yu and Wang Baoqiang respectively.
The remaining roles will be selected by Tang Jili.
And Yang Shoucheng was also very generous. He directly used the 10 million Hong Kong dollars as Lu Bu's salary. After the film was finished, the agreement ended.
As for Lu Bu, he had always been polite, so how could he push out the money he brought to his doorstep?
Just like that, "Myth" was initially scheduled to start shooting in September.
Preliminary preparations have already begun, and are currently about 70% completed. What remains is to negotiate with the confirmed actors and to customize the Fuhua Dao under the advice of Lu Bu, the historical consultant.
Two months is enough.

The next day, Lu Bu, as a landlord, took Yang Shoucheng and Tang Jili to experience the customs of the Lower Demon City.
Then, I spent another day with Yu Feihong.
After returning to Hangzhou, he took Hu Jing with him non-stop and started his trip to Yunnan.
Lufeng Tuo'an Maoling Primary School is located in a mountainous area with no roads. It takes three hours to walk from the town on the mountain road.
Naturally, Lu Bu would not let Hu Jing and Zeng Lai suffer such a heavy punishment, so he brought three horses, Heifeng, Hongyun, and Baixue, which was equivalent to a ride.
We hired several local fellows in the town to use their horses to carry schoolbags, stationery, and sporting goods for the children.
The weather today is pretty good, not very hot.
Although the mountain roads are winding and winding, they are not particularly rugged and steep, and the road conditions are quite good.
There are thick green bamboos on both sides, and the sunlight shines on the ground through the spots of bamboo leaves, which gives an indescribable sense of tranquility and beauty.
"Boss, Maoling Village is ahead."
"It's pretty fast."
I arrived at my destination before I knew it.
The principal didn't know that Lu Bu and others were coming, and was very surprised when he saw them.
When the school was built, completed, and put into use, Lu Bu, the donor, never showed up, and he did not expect to arrive suddenly.
The principal was happy for their arrival.
"If you come one day later, you won't be able to see the students. Today is the last day of this semester, and summer vacation will begin tomorrow." The principal said to Lu Bu and the others.
"It came in time." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"It turns out this is a wooden house. It's hot in summer and cold in winter, and there are a lot of mosquitoes..."
"The desks and chairs are all made of simple planks and wood that former students brought from home..."
"The kitchen has an earthen stove. Once the teacher who was responsible for steaming rice for the children didn't pay attention to the fire and almost set the floor on fire..."
When the principal explained that the school had grown from a two-story, four-room wooden building to the main central primary school covering several nearby villages, Lu Bu, Hu Jing and Zeng Lai were sincerely happy for the children. .
They also visited the school's exhibition room, which contains all the awards since the school was founded, as well as students' craft works, competition certificates, etc.
When the school bell rang, the children gathered on the playground and looked curiously at the visitors from afar with their big eyes flashing.
The teachers knew about them, but the naive children had no idea who these people were.
The principal first gave an introduction.
After that, Lu Bu, Hu Jing and Zeng Lai distributed gifts to the children. Many children got brand new school bags and new stationery and couldn't put them down.
Then, Lu Bu also gave a speech at the warm invitation of the principal. He put on an old-fashioned look and sent a message to the children: "It is not a shame to be born in a humble family. Being able to bend and stretch is a husband. Walking out of the mountains is not as simple as saying, let alone a person."
It can be done in an instant, but it requires your unremitting efforts. I believe that one day in the future, I will meet you who have made it out of the mountains with your own efforts. Then we will join hands to see this wonderful world and a beautiful future.
."
Children in mountainous areas are shy when facing strangers and are not good at communicating.
After the gift donation ceremony, Lu Bu experienced an interesting physical education class with the children and taught a simple set of military boxing, while Hu Jing and Zeng Lai danced with the children with national characteristics.
dance.
The strangeness and shyness the children felt at the beginning also disappeared, and they all chased Lu Bu on the playground, fighting unscrupulously.
Sitting by the flowerbed and looking at the innocent smiles of the children, Hu Jing felt the significance of her trip and said with emotion: "I now know why he attracted me. It starts with his appearance, his talent, and his loyalty."
Character.”
Zeng Lai was the same, but seeing this was a rare opportunity to tease her, he took her arm and said softly: "Is there still something like 'obsessed with the body, obsessed with the sound, drunk with the deep love'?"
Hu Jing slapped the back of her hand, Yingying smiled and said: "Xiao Nizi, this is about you, right?"
Zeng said harshly: "I'm not, I don't have it, don't talk nonsense."
Hu Jing didn't bother to expose her, so she just whispered a few words in her ear that made her blush.
Zeng spat: "You...you pervert."
"Dingling bell..."
The happy hour ended with the ringing of the school bell.
"Bye bye, brother~"
"Goodbye, sister~"
"Brothers and sisters, remember to come and see us~"
The children were reluctant to leave. Lu Bu, Hu Jing and Zeng Lai waved goodbye to them at the school gate.
"Abu, can we come here often to see the children?" Hu Jing also has an emotional side.
"Abu..." Zeng Li even called him in a coquettish tone.
"Come, as long as you want." Of course Lu Bu agreed.
Later, they asked the principal about where there was a suitable camping place nearby.
"There is a flat grassland and a small spring halfway up the mountain to the north, which should meet your requirements."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
"There may be some snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains, so you should be careful."
"It's okay, I have prepared some mosquito repellent."
"Then I'll get you some food."
"No need, principal, we brought them all."
