- "Men Jie, I was able to spend 10 million to hire you to star in a movie. It was definitely the most suitable deal I've ever made in my life!"
Just when Menjie fully demonstrated his strong strength, his A+ level acting skills, and the combination of the fourth top temperament among all Chinese movie stars and the high-end temperament, all his strength was displayed in front of director Li An After that, Li An would often say this to Men Jie.
indeed so!
If we combine all of Menjie's acting skills, popularity, and temperament, and add that Menjie's own temperament is very suitable for the male protagonist Mr. Yi in the movie "Lust, Caution", director Li An gives a very clear explanation of Menjie. evaluate.
Menjie¡¯s overall quality is definitely worth 25 million soft girl coins for the movie "Lust, Caution"!
A salary of 25 million yuan corresponds to the top actor with S-level acting skills and popularity in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Of course, we don¡¯t count actors like Tony Leung and Li Lianjie who are infinitely close to the top movie stars.
At this level, as long as the movie "Lust, Caution" is officially released and everyone sees Menjie's strength, Menjie's net worth will skyrocket.
However, before the movie "Lust, Caution" was released, people did not know what Menjie's true strength was. Therefore, no matter whether he was shooting any movie, Menjie could only get a salary of more than 10 million at most, which was definitely a loss. Buy and sell.
But it doesn't matter. In fact, before the movie "Lust, Caution" was released, Menjie had no intention of going out to take roles.
Menjie¡¯s idea is to participate in his own company¡¯s movie ¡°The Film¡±. After all, it is his own company¡¯s work, and all the money he makes is his own, so there is no problem of overpaying or underpaying.
Even after a little thought, Menjie directly offered himself a salary of 16 million soft girl coins.
When Menjie participated in the movie "Lust, Caution" with his A-level acting skills, he already earned about 10 million yuan. After that, even if Menjie's acting breakthrough, temperament breakthrough and many other factors are not taken into account, people are very It is clear that Menjie¡¯s popularity is terrifying. Given 16 million soft girl coins, it is equivalent to the price of an ordinary top actor with S-level acting skills and is considered normal.
This price is the same as the salary given to Andy Lau in the movie "The Proposal". If the price is higher than this price, Andy Lau's face will not look good, so Menjie decided.
While Menjie was thinking, the phone suddenly rang. After taking a look at the caller, Menjie quickly showed a look of surprise, "Hello? Director Chen? I'm Menjie!"
The caller turned out to be Chen Kexin, another top director in China. He has directed many films such as "A Tale of Two Cities", "The Three Heroes", "Golden Leaves 2", "Sweet Honey", etc., and supervised the production. I don¡¯t know how many great film directors there are.
Previously, after Menjie notified the cast and crew of Wan Tongtong's movie "The Letter of Contribution". Wan Tongtong began to prepare.
After all, it is the first movie produced by a celebrity film and television company, and it is a crucial step into the film industry. Naturally, Wan Tongtong attaches great importance to it.
Sure enough, not long after that, Chen Kexin called Menjie.
"Hello, I'm Chen Kexin! I previously received a script called "The Investment Certificate" from your company's general manager Wan Tongtong. I feel very good about this script. I would like to ask about the investment in this movie. Actors and other issues. And also how much autonomy would I have if I directed this movie!"
This is also Chen Kexin¡¯s worry. Although Menjie is an insider and a quite extraordinary actor, he is also a well-known and wealthy Chinese man.
It¡¯s the first movie that a young person¡¯s company invests in. Maybe he will really feel good about himself and make comments during the filming. If so. It is obviously absolutely impossible for Chen Kexin to agree to direct the movie "The Call to Action".
"Director Chen, you are the top director in China. Since I want to ask you to direct the movie "The Famous Man", I will never give too much advice!"
After thinking for a while, Menjie said directly and simply, "My idea is this, if you come to direct this movie. In terms of the initial casting, you have absolute power, of course, while the company only has The right to make suggestions. We do not have the right to directly order you, and the company will never give any instructions during the entire filming process. You are definitely the one who has the final say among the crew!"
"As for film investmentit's also up to you to decide. The upper limit is 200 million soft sister coins. As long as you think you can recover the cost and make a small profit, we will definitely do it."?No problem! "
Although Menjie already had a general idea in his mind, in order to successfully invite Chen Kexin to direct the movie "The Letter of Investment", Menjie still directly gave all the power.
Menjie thinks about it, even if the company does not have any power on the surface, there should be no problem if the male protagonist is replaced by Menjie himself from Li Lianjie. After all, he is also the chairman of the company, and his level is quite high. Extraordinary!
"Oh? I have the final say?"
After hearing what Men Jie said, even Chen Kexin was a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed, "If this is the case, I am willing to join the movie "The Proposal"!"
"Haha, Director Chen, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
After a few polite words, Chen Kexin hesitated and said directly to Menjie, "Menjie, I would like to ask, what are your thoughts on the casting of this movie?"
coming!
With a thought in his heart, Men Jie's face straightened, and he hurriedly said, "Director Chen, I actually haven't thought about this issue well. You also know that I have always been an ordinary little actor, and the job of casting has really never been done before. I¡¯ve done it before, but I don¡¯t know what Director Chen¡¯s thoughts are¡¡±
This little guy!
After hearing Men Jie¡¯s words, Chen Kexin felt helpless.
Although it is true that Menjie has not participated in the casting of movies, everyone in the entire Chinese entertainment industry knows that the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", "The Rumored Seven Princesses", "Nineteen-Year-Old" produced by celebrity film and television companies All the casting choices for "Pure Love" and the TV series "Struggle" that have not yet been officially aired were finalized by Menjie.
Even those directors who are not very famous only have the right to decide some small roles that Menjie is too lazy to care about. Although they only have the position of producer, Menjie is definitely the person who has the most say in the entire crew!
And what¡¯s surprising is that the selection of these roles is also quite suitable, and many of the actors are even very popular now. This also made many people in the entertainment industry very convinced of Menjie's vision, and felt that as long as he was selected by Menjie, there was a possibility of success.
¡°A person with such a precise vision actually says that he doesn¡¯t know how to cast? It¡¯s simply heartbreaking!
Chen Kexin also knew that Menjie wanted to hear his opinion about the character in the film first.
"Actually, I just got the script not long ago, and I don't know much about the other characters yet, but I do have some ideas about the three male protagonists and one female protagonist in the movie!"
"The heroine of the movie "Tou Ming Zhuan" is not very outstanding, and there is no need to invite some big-name actors. However, the three male protagonists must have strong strength. If the heroine is just a vase, it will not work. It will affect From the perspective of the whole film, I think Xu Jinglei is a very good choice!"
Xu Jinglei? !
??????????????????? She is the heroine in the original movie "The Call to Action"!
After listening to Chen Kexin's words, Men Jie didn't even hesitate, "Haha, Director Chen and I really thought of it together. The heroine I thought of before was Xu Jinglei, okay, since we both think she is very suitable. That must be Xu Jinglei!"
ah?
Chen Kexin was a little surprised after hearing what Men Jie said.
You didn¡¯t even need an audition, and you just decided on the role? Sure enough, as rumored, for the four TV series created by Celebrity Film and Television Company, only a few actors were selected through auditions, and the main roles were decided by Menjie himself!
But then
The efficiency is really high!
¡°Since we both think Xu Jinglei is very suitable, then it¡¯s her, and there¡¯s no need for an audition!¡±
Nods slightly. Chen Kexin also agreed, "As for the remaining three male protagonists, they are obviously the core of the entire movie. They all need good acting skills, and preferably actors with very personal charm. As for the number one male protagonist, I think It¡¯s best to choose an actor who is good at acting!¡±
"I have thought about this issue before. I think it is more appropriate to choose Jin Chengwu as the third male lead and Liu Dehua as the second male lead. As for"
"Director Chen!"
Men Jie on the other end of the phone couldn't help but chuckle, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Jin Chengwu, right?"
Menjie¡¯s simple words instantly solidified the atmosphere between the two.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of Chen Kexin. Menjie was saying that he wanted to use power for personal gain and invited Jin Chengwu to come over.acting.
Indeed, there may be some personal reasons for this, but as a top Chinese director, he still has considerable professional ethics. To a greater extent, Chen Kexin felt that Jin Chengwu was very suitable to play the third male lead in the movie.
When Men Jie said this, Chen Kexin couldn't help but become a little annoyed. What is going on? Don't believe in yourself? Then why did you give yourself so much autonomy before?
He was about to question Men Jie, but in the next second, Men Jie's voice came out again, "Then inviting Jin Chengwu and Liu Dehua to work will cause trouble for Director Chen, haha! I also thought that they were two It suits the characters in the movie very well, and I¡¯m worried that I¡¯m too shy to invite the two of them over!¡±
¡°Uh, what¡¯s going on? !
Chen Kexin, who was just about to get angry, was stunned again. She realized that she seemed to have misunderstood. It was not that Menjie didn't trust her, but that he had also decided to cast these two actors as the second and third male actors in the movie "The Call to Action". main character!
This speed is too fast, right?
"As for the salary of the two of them"
"You don't have to worry about this. Since I have left the job of inviting them two to me, I will definitely satisfy you. Haha, I also want to save some salary to invest in film production and create an excellent work. Woolen cloth!"
After laughing, Chen Kexin said directly to Menjie.
Menjie was so decisive just now. He only mentioned three names, but Menjie confirmed them with lightning speed, reciprocating the favor. Chen Kexin also planned to come forward and invite them.
With Chen Kexin¡¯s reputation, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t cost Menjie too much money to star in the movie ¡°The Call to Action¡±, right? !
"As for the choice of the number one male lead my first choice is Li Lianjie!"
Afterwards, Chen Kexin hesitated for a moment and then spoke directly. Men Jie on the other end of the phone couldn't help but fell silent for a long time. Then he said softly.
"Director Chen, the previous roles are very suitable for this movie, so I just decided on it directly. Indeed, it is very suitable for the number one male lead to be played by Li Lianjie, but in terms of budget. Director Chen, have you thought about it?"
After listening to Menjie¡¯s words, Chen Kexin on the other end of the phone also fell silent.
Chen Kexin is also very clear in her heart that if she wants to invite Li Lianjie to star in the movie "Tou Mingzhuan", he will have to pay at least 100 million soft sister coins. In this way, the budget of the movie "Tou Mingzhuang" will be doubled in an instant. The difficulty of making money has definitely increased several levels.
Even if the movie becomes a hit. It may not be possible to recover the cost!
But apart from Li Lianjie, there seems to be no particularly suitable candidate among China¡¯s action stars!
You must know that the leading actor in a movie, in addition to being great in fighting scenes, must also be a big shot comparable to Andy Lau and Kim Sung-wu in other aspects!
With the exception of Li Lianjie, the whole of China is suitable for action stars in the movie "Tou Mingzhuan". There is also Zhen Zidan, who is the same age as him, who is very suitable. However, Zhen Zidan has just participated in the movie "The Fuse" not long ago. If you want to invite him, you will have to wait for at least a few months. By then, I am afraid that the movie "The Fuse" "If it wants to be released, it will have to wait until 2008 at least.
This is absolutely not allowed!
"Director Chen, what do you think of me?"
After a moment of silence, Menjie spoke directly. "After all, it is my own company's movie, so I won't be humble to you. In terms of acting skills, I am definitely at the higher end of the movie-star level, and in terms of temperament, I am definitely doing quite well, and for As for playing a soldieryou should have seen the movie "300", right?"
Snapped!
With a fierce slap on his forehead, Chen Kexin's eyes lit up on the other end of the phone.
Indeed, the male protagonist in the movie "The Order" is a general. He must have the majesty of a general and the bravery of a warrior.
With two different temperaments, it is indeed difficult to choose, but obviously, Menjie is the most suitable in this regard!
Menjie's level of "majestic temperament" can be felt from the movies "Kung Fu" and "The Banquet", and he is definitely quite outstanding.
Needless to say, the "iron-blooded temperament" when playing the role of a warrior. Almost everyone in the world has seen this side of Menjie. The actor who wants to play the role of a warrior is indeed Menjie!
¡°And it seems that Menjie also knows a little bit about kung fu!
And because of the popularity of the movie "300", although Menjie is weaker than Andy Lau, but because Menjie has been so popular recently, when he participated in the movie "Double Name" , Men Jie is really not inferior to Liu Dehua.
With the current popularity, Menjie is definitely a very top star!
In an instant, Chen Kexin, who had thought everything through, wanted to just nod and agree.
"Director Chen, how about this?"
Seeing that Chen Kexin was about to say something, Men Jie hurriedly said, "Why don't you invite me and Li Lianjie to audition for the number one leading actor in the movie "The Call to Action"? If his level is really far better than mine." , then even if I have to spend 100 million soft girl coins for him, I will admit it. If you compare it a little bit, it is very good. What do you think?"
this¡¡
After hearing what Men Jie said, Chen Kexin hesitated for a moment and then agreed directly.
As Men Jie said, if both Men Jie and Li Lianjie are very suitable for the movie "The Call to Action", then this role will be given to Men Jie. After all, the remuneration of Men Jie and Li Lianjie is quite huge. Li Lianjie will understand the gap very well.
But if Men Jie is really too different from Li Lianjie, then I'm sorry, even if Men Jie is the producer of the movie "The Certificate of Investment", even if it costs hundreds of millions of soft sister coins to invite Li Lianjie, for If the movie can be better, we can only choose him!
No matter what, it was good for the movie, so Chen Kexin naturally had no reason to refuse and directly agreed.
Men Jie on the side was also snickering in his heart.
Although there is a slight gap in the acting skills between the two, Menjie possesses a "top temperament and ability" that is currently only known to the members of the movie "Lust, Caution".
And at the same time, Menjie also hides a real trump card that no one knows about!
Menjie believes that with these two trump cards, not to mention that it will be able to reach the level of "barely comparable to Li Lianjie" by then, and finally defeat Li Lianjie with a price advantage.
Even in a head-on collision, Menjie would never be at a disadvantage. Even when Menjie thought about it, Menjie finally matched Li Lianjie with his strong strength. In the end, even Chen Kexin chose Menjie directly. Li Lianjie would also be quite understanding and would not have the slightest objection to Men Jie.
In this way, on the one hand, Menjie can get the role of the male protagonist in the movie "The Proposal", and at the same time, he can defeat Li Lianjie head-on and gain a lot of acting proficiency entrusted to him by the King System. It is definitely a big deal. Profitable deal!
"In this case, leave it to me to invite Xu Jinglei, Jin Chengwu and Liu Dehua. As for the number one male lead, I will contact Li Lianjie and try to have an audition within these two days. Men Jie, you can also do it. Be prepared!¡±
In the end, after Chen Kexin left a few words, she hung up the phone and began preparations for the movie "The Letter of Investment". - Didn't finish reading?
