Chapter 197 Feng Shui takes turns

Since the announcement of the adaptation, the movie version of "Martian Rescue" has become the focus of attention of the media and audiences, including the big IP plus top investment, the second attempt of domestic science fiction movies, the big production after the failure of "Breaking Out of the Solar System", and it is also a complete movie of the leading actor.

The battles among female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry have always been fierce, such as the four major actresses and the four minor actresses. Although most celebrities in this world are different from their previous lives, the basic pattern has not changed much.

The old-fashioned king is getting older, the new generation of young and handsome actors are invincible, and the Middle Age actors are hard to bear the banner. The novel "Martian Rescue" does not clearly explain how old the protagonist Li Yunfan is. It is just that ordinary aviators and botanists who can go to space should be in their prime, about thirty or forty.

Although Chang'e Pictures has not been established for a long time, it has produced many well-known films, which are the best among the new companies. What's more, Chang'e Pictures, which is very good at hand, has actually found a relationship and received special support from the China Space Administration. In addition to providing necessary technical guidance during the shooting, it even borrowed spacecraft design models that had been eliminated.

Although there are many speculations from the outside world, the news is covered tightly and no trace of leaked news can be found. Li Li, the boss of Chang'e Film Industry, can be called an iron lady. The entire company is built very rigorously. The production cost of 200 million yuan and the promotion cost of 50 million yuan are enough to cause an earthquake in the Chinese film circle.

If you really want to shoot a science fiction blockbuster, Lin Han knows that the money is not enough, and when the money is burned, it will definitely be like flowing water, and the production costs will be continuously added.

Wearing a casual shirt, Lin Han drove alone to Chang'e Film Studio's studio at Yanjing Film and Television Base. This is the company's special studio. An audition that was hiding from the paparazzi is about to begin.

"Mr. Li, good morning."

Lin Han reached out to shake hands with the iron lady. This audition was very important. As the president, Li Li rushed to the scene to take charge and never allowed any mistakes.

Li Li's dress is very neutral and looks particularly cool and handsome. After looking at Lin Han, she joked: "Teacher Lin, I hope the actor we chose today is Li Yunfan in your mind. I hope you can give some suggestions at that time."

At this time, many staff members had arrived in the studio, and a large number of space suits also appeared on the scene. Lin Han’s memory told him that this might be an audition with makeup directly, but he didn’t know what the audition was.

"I'm just here to watch today. By the way, Mr. Li, has the director of the movie confirmed? I don't know any news. Who will direct this movie?"

Although Li Li had invited him to write and direct "Martian Rescue", Lin Han rejected it. Which domestic director is suitable for shooting science fiction films is a very big question.

Li Li patted her head and said apologetically: "This is my negligence. With the help of my uncle the day before yesterday, Director Zheng Shuping finally let go and was willing to direct the movie. He will come to watch the audition together later, and this time he will focus on his casting opinions."

Lin Han nodded suddenly, and he also knew that this director was the best among the fifth generation of directors in China, but he graduated from Yanjing Film Academy.

This great director once won the Best Film of the Berlin Film Festival for his movie "Gentle Moonlight" and won the Golden Bear Award; the following year, he won the Best Director Award of the Venice Film Festival for "Spring of the North", which received unanimous praise.

After leaving the art film, Zheng Shuping's commercial film journey was also very smooth. The costume kung fu masterpiece "The Legend of the Congratulations" surpassed the Hollywood blockbuster for the first time, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, with a box office of over 50 million US dollars in North America.

Not only did Zheng Shuping achieve a gratifying result in blockbusters, the casual police and gangster film "Fearless Life and Death" filmed last year also won a box office of 800 million yuan, becoming a dark horse in the summer season.

He has a variety of styles, including art films, kung fu films, police and gangster films, comedy films, and thriller case films. He is a versatile player in the Chinese film industry.

Without sticking to the same style, if there is any master in the Chinese film industry who can direct science fiction movies, it is Zheng Shuping.

"If it were directed by Mr. Zheng, the movie would be almost half successful." Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. Only by allowing such a director to shoot his own movie would he not fail.

"Breaking Out of the Solar System" had never considered Director Zheng at all. If Director Zheng was in charge of the crew, the producers would not dare to blatantly launder money or deduct production funds.

Chinese science fiction movies require great masters to take charge, not to mention that Zheng Shuping has also gone to Hollywood to study and communicate for several years, so he should be familiar with the production of American science fiction movies.

Li Li also smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, it's great that Director Zheng is willing to come forward now. He originally had a comedy script waiting for filming, but later we ran to harass him repeatedly and invited him to come."

While talking, Zheng Shuping, wearing a polo shirt and casual pants, came over with two assistants. He looked quite old, with deep wrinkles on his thin face, and he looked a little serious when he was serious.

"Director Zheng, this is Lin Han, the author of the original movie. Today we will host the audition work together. Yesterday, the script was sent to your email address. If you have any questions, you can discuss with Teacher Lin Han and then modify it."

Li Li introduced that she hopes the production team can get along well so that it can attract audiences.

Lin Han introduced himself nervously, saying, "I'm glad to let Director Zheng come to shoot my novel. This is definitely the most unignorable move in the history of Chinese science fiction films."

Who knew that Zheng Shuping looked at Lin Han and said in a plain tone: "I know you, Xiaolin. The film "Breaking Out of the Solar System" was really bad. I heard that you want to study with the team this time, so let's take a good look at how the movie should be filmed. In addition, I have some things to tell you about in the script. Some things are not very good, and if you can't modify them, let me do it."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became stiff. The speech was too straightforward. Without considering Lin Han's feelings at all, everyone around him became slightly embarrassed.

"It is my honor to be able to learn from Director Zheng. I will give you more advice next. As for the script issue, how about we discuss it later?"

What Lin Han wants is respect. He is not a subordinate of Zheng Shuping. Even if there is any problem with the script, everyone should discuss and modify it. He directly told him to correct it according to his conditions. This did not take the identity of the screenwriter and the original author seriously.

Li Li thought to herself that something was wrong. She finally got the right to adapt the movie "Martian Rescue". It would be difficult to invite Zheng Shuping to film. If the two conflicts occur, it would be a complete disaster!

So she quickly became a peacemaker and said, "The script matter needs to be studied carefully. No one can be that perfect in the first draft, right? Hollywood scripts have to be revised repeatedly. This is impossible. After reading the script in two days, we will organize a seminar and tell us if there is any problem. Today's task is to choose a good character, and the protagonist is very important."

Zheng Shuping never thought that anyone would refute him like this. He looked around and said, "Who have been there today? People without acting skills should not come to me, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable."

"Half of the entertainment industry has probably come here. They are waiting on the other side. We will start at about time, right?" Li Li pointed to the large shooting location in front. Several chairs have been set up, and there are special cameras next to it to record the performance of each actor for Lin Han, Zheng Shuping and others to review.

It was already eight:40 in the morning, and the audition started at nine o'clock, but vehicles continued to enter one after another, and even the parking lot next to it was full.

Almost all male actors who are a little confident in themselves appear on the set. The chances of shooting super blockbusters are not that common, and everyone has the chance to do this role!

Lin Han decided to go to the bathroom for a while to rest so as not to suddenly want to go to the bathroom during the audition later. That was disrespectful to the actors, so it would be better to prepare in advance now.

...

Compared with the awkward audition meeting just now, the waiting area outside seems much more lively, with actors of all levels. You can see that this summer, Wang Zheng closed his eyes and rested, a young man took a cell phone and took photos with someone. The double actor of the Golden Horse Awards and the actress was busy with socializing, and the young transparent actor was trembling and did not dare to speak.

Lin Han walked past the waiting area with a work permit hanging on his neck. He didn't expect that he would meet an acquaintance in the corridor, and perhaps he was not considered an acquaintance.

Fang Zhenhua, who has starred in the male lead in the original director's movie "Breaking Out of the Solar System", was holding a cigarette and sucking mist. Since that movie, his career has stagnated, so he also wanted to try his luck and see if it can improve.

"Brother Hua, this is Lin Han's novel. His last movie made you like that. Didn't you feel a little guilty? I heard that he has the right to advise the actors. Should we raise our relationship and ask him to compensate you?"

Fang Zhenhua's little assistant looked a little silly and sweet. This was the corridor outside the bathroom. Not to mention the partition walls, it was clearly heard in the washing area.

"Don't mention that name to me. He is just a little author. It's not worth our relationship. I don't know what luck he has left, but he will be changed into a movie. He is getting better and better."

Fang Zhenhua kicked the wall bricks in the aisle hard, looking down on Lin Han at all in his words, and did not agree with his success. If he hadn't received any other big production, he wouldn't have come to the audition site.

The assistant whispered: "Brother Hua, you see that there are so many people coming to the scene. Even if we increase our chances of winning, it's okay. Other people who go to find President Li were rejected. At least you can talk to Lin Han. At worst, you can give him a promise and help him act in a movie in the future. Anyway, who can tell the future will be accurate."

Interchange of interests is usually done underground, but there are few things that come to the situation.

Lin Han had no intention of eavesdropping, but was stunned by the other party's brain circuit. Have you ever considered whether he would agree to it or not?

The two outside whispered to discuss what happened next. Seeing that the audition time was coming, Lin Han had to go out, and he couldn't be late.

Pushing open the bathroom door, Lin Han pretended to hear nothing, walked out with his head held high and his chest raised, showing a smile, but he didn't come forward to say hello.

The airport was turned a blind eye last time, and if I still posted it this time, it would be an insult to myself.

Fang Zhenhua was indeed a little surprised, but immediately showed off his acting skills in front of Lin Han. He turned his surprise into surprise, as if he had no idea what had happened before, "Director Lin, such a coincidence, are you also being auditioned?"

"Yes, I just came to the bathroom and didn't notice you at all." Lin Han held his smile. He felt that he had the potential to be a movie star and wanted to see what the other party was going to do.

The entertainment industry has no dignity. Even though Fang Zhenhua knew that the other party might have heard it, he still had to pretend to be stupid. He said, "Director Lin and you are really destined to be together. The edited version of the director "Breaking Out of the Solar System" she worked together last time was a turnaround. This time she may be starring in your "Martian Rescue". Unfortunately, it would be better if you were not directed by you."

Lin Han spread his hands and said with a smile: "That's true. I wish you a successful audition today. I have to rush over at 9 o'clock soon."

The status and titles are different. Fang Zhenhua is a first-line male star on the set and is very famous. Later, when he met him at the airport, he looked at him indifferently, but now he is kind to the director Lin, who is now intimate.

This is generally the case with the turn of Feng Shui. Lin Han doesn’t want to be treated like this in the future. Only by continuing to succeed can those people not have such thoughts.

After seeing that there was no one around, Fang Zhenhua immediately stopped Lin Han: "Director Lin, you are very clear about my acting skills. Can you reveal what you will be waiting for a little bit? To be honest, if I can be selected this time, I would like to play a free guest appearance or play a supporting role next time you shoot your own movie. Think about it, is it worth it? If a first-line actor gives you free publicity, you can't write a novel for life, right?"

If the relationship is not successful, then you should just throw out the benefits. Fang Zhenhua's methods are understandable. All he wants is an opportunity to prepare in advance and his tendency after the performance. It seems more than enough to use this to exchange for supporting roles, and Lin Han doesn't need to pay anything.

If you are a person who puts interests first, you might agree. It is very cost-effective to make Fang Zhenhua a match with just one sentence.

But Lin Han is not such a person. He shook his head and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I don't know the audition content and can't help you at all. If you audition, it depends on your acting skills and appearance. I will not favor anyone."

Fang Zhenhua's face changed. He felt that he had already put down his figure to please a young author and a failed director, but he was rejected by the other party, which made him a little angry. (To be continued.)
