"Yuan Hua, are you really planning to take this role?"
Yuan Hua nodded with a serious expression, "That's right, I'm serious"
Wu Jing scratched her head, and said with some embarrassment:
"Well I'm afraid that I might misunderstand some things on the phone, so I came here to explain to you in person¡ª¡ª
This role, although it can be counted as the male third, but in fact there are not many roles, and the playing time is estimated to be just over ten minutes
You should have seen the first part of "Wolf Warrior". In fact, the second part is exactly the same as the first part. It is almost completely Leng Feng's one-man show. I should understand what I mean, right? "
If it is an ordinary person taking over a play, there is no need for Wu Jing to travel thousands of miles to explain so much to others
But Yuan Hua is the main investor of this "Wolf Warrior 2", he can't cheat the money owner!
The production cost of this drama is estimated to be 150 million to 200 million yuan, and the publicity cost is more than 80 million yuan
However, even if Wu Jing sells everything and mortgages the house, he can barely scrape together 80 million yuan at most, and most of the rest has to be filled by the generosity of Yuan Hua and others
Although it is not bad that the first film of "Wolf Warrior" sold 545 million at the box office, most film investors are still not very optimistic about this type of film, and feel that the market prospect is still unclear.
If "Wolf Warrior 1" can make a small fortune, it is a stroke of luck, but once again, it is impossible for fate to favor it every time.
If the investment in the second part is increased, it is basically doomed to lose everything, and the risk is too high. Even the old friends of the first part are not willing to follow the investment
Wu Jing was going crazy at first, and even put all his eggs in one basket and mortgaged his house, but the funding gap was still huge
Just at this time, Yuan Hua suddenly sent someone to visit, saying that he was willing to bear the remaining investment all by himself, so that he could rest assured and boldly do it.
Fairy farting is really extraordinary.
As soon as Yuan Hua made a move, even those individuals or institutions that were unwilling to invest in the past changed their minds and wanted to invest again. This made Wu Jing quite mixed.
Wu Jing was of course deeply moved by Yuan Hua's act of righteousness, but he was also a little embarrassed.
Because in his play, he really couldn't find a more important role to reward Yuan Hua.
In fact, Wu Jing did not propose Yuan Hua to play the role of "bear boy" who is a rich second-generation army fan
After all, with such a small role, Wu Jing is really embarrassed to say this.
Who do you look down on? Is Yuan Hua still short of acting? A lot of male lead scenes were crying and begging him to take it, no matter how high the price was, he would not be moved, so why should they take the role of the third male lead?
So Wu Jing didn't think that Yuan Hua would like such a role, so this was proposed by Yuan Hua himself
Yuan Hua is willing to participate in the role, and of course Wu Jing can't wait for it. After all, if Yuan Hua can join this drama, the success rate will definitely increase greatly, and even the initial schedule will be automatically raised
Bai benefit but no harm, this is simply a timely help, how could Wu Jing disagree?
The crux of the problem is that with Yuan Hua's current fame and status, it seems that playing this role is really a bit inferior.
But Wu Jing can't help it, because there really is no more suitable role in this drama!
The second male is the villain of the film, a leader of foreign mercenaries. Yuan Hua will definitely not be able to play this role, because first of all he is not a foreigner.
Changing the character setting will not work either, because it is impossible for a Chinese person to play that role, otherwise it would be easy not to pass the trial.
Unless you give up the protagonist Leng Feng to Yuan Hua, but this is obviously unrealistic
There is one thing to say, in fact, apart from his own character, the hero Leng Feng, there are relatively few other roles in this drama.
The reason why he made a special trip here today to explain to Yuan Hua face-to-face with the production crew was because he was afraid that there might be some misunderstanding
Perhaps Yuan Hua thought that this role had a lot of roles, but when the filming officially starts, there are so few roles. No matter whether you regret it or not, it may affect the friendly and cooperative relationship between the two parties
Although Wu Jing and Yuan Hua didn't have much friendship in the past, since people are willing to trust him and lend a helping hand at the critical moment to help him make up the difference in film investment, he can't avenge his revenge even more, right?
Wu Jing is an honest person, so he immediately told each other truthfully:
"Well, first of all, I must express my attitude. If you are willing to join our crew, of course I am very happy.welcome
But I have to say something up front. The role you want to play really doesn¡¯t have much room for exploration. Even if you can slightly adjust the scene, it¡¯s impossible to increase it a lot
At most, it is a little bit more role, so that he and the big villain mercenary leader play roughly the same time, and then count as the second male. "
Yuan Hua immediately stretched out his hand to intercept his words, and expressed his attitude firmly:
"Brother Jing, don't get me wrong. If I play this role, you don't have to add too many scenes to me. The current setting is fine
To tell you the truth, filming "Operation Mekong" in Thailand last year gave me a lot of trouble to be honest. I heard that the environment in Africa is more difficult than there, so we can't bear it if it takes too long! "
If it weren't for the fact that "Wolf Warrior 2" was the highest-grossing movie in the Mainland before Yuan Hua crossed over, Yuan Hua didn't seem to need to bother!
After all, it is the number one box office in mainland film history! The first place still has an extraordinary and unique value, and even the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning, which is naturally enough for Yuan Hua to make an exception for it.
What's more, at least his film has a huge proportion of investment, and even if he overspends during the filming process, his investment share may eventually exceed Wu Jing.
Compared with pure acting, at least it is more logical to act as a major investor, at least it is to ensure one's own income, and it does not seem to be so degraded.
Wu Jing laughed loudly: "You are telling the truth. I have met many people before, but when everyone heard that they were going to film in Africa, they immediately shook their heads
Fortunately, you already have experience in this field, and you know what it's like to shoot this kind of scene? Then I feel a little more at ease!
Since you don't mind the number of roles, I will formally extend a warm welcome on behalf of the crew. "
All of this was expected by Yuan Hua, so he was not particularly excited, but he was polite:
"Then thank you Brother Jing, I wish us a happy cooperation. By the way, when are you going to start this movie?"
Wu Jing suggested: "Currently, it is tentatively scheduled for May 9th to be officially launched at Yanjing Huairou Base, and then we will go to Africa for filming, which may be expected to take four to five months.
However, your role doesn't have that many scenes, and the filming should be over in about 20 days! "
Yuan Hua nodded and said: "No problem, around the end of May, "Zhu Xian" should be finished here, and then I will go to Africa to meet you"
Wu Jing also said casually: "No problem, anyway, you can arrange it freely with your time"
Today, the two of them didn't talk about remuneration, because as long as the two parties reach an initial agreement, and then the remaining specific terms and conditions, the agents and companies of both sides will naturally be in charge of negotiating.
Now that the two sides had almost talked, Wu Jing was about to leave, but before leaving, Yuan Hua suddenly remembered something and said directly:
"By the way, Brother Jing has something to discuss with you, can you change the name of my character?"
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, but the next second he smiled heartily and said:
"Okay, just take one for yourself!"
Wu Jing didn't realize there was any problem at first, but after hearing him mention it, he immediately understood why Yuan Hua wanted to change his name, because that character was Zhuo Yifan.
It makes perfect sense that Yuan Hua doesn't want his character to bear this name</div>
