Chapter 878 Casting
You Yong found an opportunity to say: "This is called the bloody nature of martial arts practitioners. In my opinion, you can fight very well! But Shanzi, I have a question. You have such good skills, why don't you plan to show them in the movie?
Come out? I heard that you didn’t even show your kung fu in your own film "Let the Bullets Fly"!"
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "The lie is that I don't have a suitable book yet, but the truth is that I really don't dare. Once I showed up on a variety show in Seattle, and the next day there were rumors on the Internet that they were going to target me.
Launching a scientific research project immediately magnified the problem!"
Director Feng said: "It's not like there's no showing at all, Shanzi, have you forgotten to take a picture of jumping from a building several stories high?"
Uncle Ge shouted: "I'm right there, my dear, that battle is quite shocking! Director Zhang and a few people from the island were also present, and one of the actresses was so frightened that her legs trembled!"
"Isn't it that exaggerated?" Jin Xishan asked curiously.
"It's no exaggeration!" Uncle Ge's tone became much more serious, and he just patted his chest to assure himself, "I'm standing right behind her, Shanzi, what's her name?"
"Terajima Shinobi!"
"Yes, that's the weird name!"
"What a strange name!" Li Bingbing exclaimed from the side, "She is a queen-level actor from a small island country. She just won three Tokyo International Film Festival awards last year!"
""Oscillator"?" Director Feng obviously also has contact with movies from small island countries.
"Yes, this person is not only very famous, but his acting skills are also incredible!"
Liu Qingshan curled his lips: "What does it mean if you are famous and have good acting skills? Not many Chinese people care about movies from a small island country!"
Jin Xishan poked him in the side with a finger, "Don't change the topic, why didn't I know you jumped from such a high building? Why weren't you afraid that the scene would be spread out?"
Fan Shengyang helped his master explain: "I didn't want to do it at first, but it rained heavily that day and the ground was very slippery, so it was not suitable for hanging wire!"
"Stop talking to him. I'm talking about you. Why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"
Fan Shengyang scratched his head and continued to defend: "How dare I slander Master? He is sending me to the factory to supervise work!"
Seeing that a quarrel was about to start, Director Feng quickly dismissed Liu Qingshan: "Shanzi, you go to the restaurant to eat! Yongzi and Bingbing are also going, don't affect our progress here!"
Liu Qingshan stood up and went to pull Taylor, but he never thought that Xiao Nizi would not leave: "We have to watch the casting, don't bother me!"
Of course, Jin Xishan couldn't be really angry. She just felt uncomfortable looking at Li Bingbing who was staring directly at Liu Qingshan. So how about these words to show her status.
Fan Shengyang went to the kitchen to serve the food first. On the way, Liu Qingshan turned his head and asked Xiang Youyong: "After this cooperation, are you interested in going to Xiangjiang to shoot a police movie?"
You Yong's face lit up: "This is a good relationship, but police and gangster movies in Hong Kong are all bad. Is this kind of subject still possible?"
"It's different this time." In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the restaurant, and at this time the two people in the kitchen came over to say hello.
Instructing Fan Shengyang to eat first, he continued: "This time, the police and gangsters use the media to launch a battle of wits. This fresh subject is second to none. I plan to take this opportunity to try it out for nearly ten years."
Minutes of street shootout to go to Los Angeles to shoot another Hollywood blockbuster!”
You Yong subconsciously raised his thumb: "Are you still awesome and direct it yourself?"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "I want to bring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro together to play the dual protagonists. People like Brad Pitt can only play the role of two people's subordinates. Is this a gimmick?
Selling point?”
"Fuck!"
Not only did You Yong couldn't help but curse, but even Li Bingbing, who was listening, had eyes full of fear.
This information is really scary. If you pick any one of these three people, they are all top international stars, especially the first two. Regardless of their age, you must know that their net worth is 20 million, which is one of the few in Hollywood.
At the level of a superstar, just the remuneration is already an astronomical figure when converted into Chinese dollars.
No wonder Liu Qingshan said it was a Hollywood blockbuster. Calculating it this way, the basic investment would probably exceed several hundred million US dollars.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Bingbing felt scared. Just that he was able to recruit these people is enough to show how accurate the information in the legend is.
Except for Chen Long, it is extremely difficult for Chinese actors, let alone directors, to get an inconspicuous supporting role in a Hollywood movie.
It turns out that the rumors were all true, and Liu Qingshan’s overseas influence was indeed worthy of his name.
Liu Qingshan ignored the increasingly hot look in Li Bingbing's eyes, "So, this movie in Xiangjiang is for me to practice my skills. Brother Yong, you will only be a killer from the mainland. How about, go
Help me?"
"You're talking about helping me or not, you're giving me a chance! If I accept this job, I'll postpone all other schedules!"
"Probably in April or May next year, there won't be many roles, but it will be a good opportunity for you to expand your acting career!"
"No problem, who else is in this play?"
"I haven't considered it yet, but I will invite many celebrities to make guest appearances! Does Chen Zuming know? Yes, Brother Chen Long's son, I plan to use him, and the rest are to be determined!"
While he was picking up the food, he saw Li Bingbing who was hesitant to speak, and then said with a smile: "Sister Bingbing, Sister Xishan now has a TV series in her hands. It is also a big production, with ancient costumes. There must be seven or eighty episodes.
, if you are interested, talk to her!"
Li Bingbing's face immediately turned into a smile and he nodded hurriedly.
Liu Qingshan didn't have any dislike for this person. On the contrary, this person not only had superb acting skills, but also became a boss in the future. He also tried his best to promote the actors under his rivals, and would even take the initiative to give up many roles for his own artists. This at least proved that this person
There is no question about his character.
Unlike a certain Bay Island actress who had a similar experience to her, she had to grab any acting opportunities by herself. The artists signed to her name were treated as if they were banned. In the past seven years, she has only appeared in a few unknown roles.
Famous minor role.
Zhang Hanyu, who was wearing an apron, wiped his hands and walked over to sit down. "Every time I see you, you promise me a role. Tell me the truth, how many books do you have in your hand?"
Liu Qingshan said cheerfully: "Not many, just a dozen or so. Don't even think about it for now. Let's figure out what the company commander Guzi is like first!"
Zhang Hanyu has no shortage of acting skills, but he has always been a marginal character in movies before. He stayed with Feng Zhigang purely because of his hobby.
Since I didn't have many acting qualifications, I was the assistant director of the crew for a long time. To put it bluntly, I worked for the director and occasionally played small roles.
The next "Assembly" was actually his first starring role. If Liu Qingshan hadn't known that he was the protagonist in the original movie, he would have never dared to cast him.
Although he has a diploma in Chinese opera performance, he started working as a professional voice actor in 1983. It was only a few years ago that he started to get involved in the film and television industry under the introduction of his friend Fu Biao, and he became good friends with Director Feng.
Therefore, this person definitely belongs to the category of late bloomers. His acting skills are no worse than those of any domestic actors, but he has always lacked opportunities.
Therefore, he cherished the starring opportunity that came to him from Liu Qingshan, and spent his own money to spend more than three months in the army in the suburbs.
At that time, Liu Qingshan was filming "Let the Bullets Fly". After learning about this incident on the phone, he developed a huge affection for this person.
As for Li Bingbing, he is not disgusted, but he keeps a respectful attitude towards any women. It is not that Jin Xishan around him is an evil woman, he does not want to cause trouble.
Especially in the entertainment industry, where money, power, connections, resources dominate, and vanity is the big dyeing vat, few people can escape from the filth without being stained, so he has to be careful.
After seeing some plans for future movies revealed, Liu Qingshan was really hungry, so he buried his head and concentrated on eating.
Not to mention, regardless of Zhang Hanyu or Xu Fang, the taste of several home-cooked dishes is really good. Although it is not as good as Liu Qingshan's systematic cooking skills, it is still the most delicious he has ever eaten at someone else's house.
The interview in the living room is still going on, and from time to time voices can be heard from there, both male and female, and most of them sound familiar.
Since the restaurant is located on the other side of the first floor, with several rooms in between, the line of sight is blocked. As long as there is no noise from this side, it is really difficult for people coming to find out who else is there.
When Liu Qingshan finished his three bowls of rice, he was attracted by the noise in the living room, and he could tell without using his powers of detection that the mandarin with a Hong Kong flavor was a very familiar person.
The moment he remembered who it was, that person had already found him himself, of course with Director Feng's permission.
The visitor is Lin Jiadong. Liu Qingshan has known him since the filming of "Slaying the Wolf". He is the villain Dongguan Zai in the movie "Dragon City Years" written by him. He has been a professional villain in Hong Kong for 20 years.
One of the most famous supporting actors.
Although Liu Qingshan was not very happy on the set of "Slaying the Wolf", he formed deep friendships with many actors, including this professional supporting actor.
"Haha, when I saw Xi Shan, I thought you would be there. Director Feng also gave me the face to find it myself!"
Lin Jiadong is as outgoing as ever, and he is currently learning kung fu. At this time, he is in the stage of achieving a little success.
With the short three-second shot of this guy flying over a street guardrail in "Dragon City", he may be nominated for the Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Supporting Actor later this year.
Moreover, he was able to star in this movie precisely because of Liu Qingshan's strong recommendation. When the script was handed over to Simon Yam, this person was included in the predetermined list of roles.
Liu Qingshan was really surprised by his appearance. After all, this person was able to appear in the original movie because of the protagonist Andy Lam. Lin Jiadong is a frequent guest in Andy's movies, and his support is well known in Hong Kong.
matter.
But there is no Hua Ge in this version. It is quite strange that this person can take the initiative to appear in an actor interview of a mainland crew. After all, this person's Mandarin is very poor. This is an unavoidable fact.
