It can be said that what the film needs is an actor who not only has box office appeal, but also has excellent acting skills.
After all, Wang Yifan wants to make a big box office appeal in this wave. Although over the past few years, there have been instances of movie kings and actresses unable to lift the box office, but looking at the box office explosions Which one of the new movies is really performed by a newcomer?
Using stars, in fact, the most important thing is to reflect on a reputation, which can make the promotion of the film more convenient.
In a nutshell, when a newcomer is a star, the lower limit is low and the upper limit is also low, while a star is the star, the lower limit is high, and the upper limit is also high. Of course, this cannot be said to be 100%, but the upper limit can be determined.
It is said that newcomers will win awards as soon as they make their debut, but who has heard that newcomers' films won the box office championship?
In the first film before, Wang Yifan had no choice but to do it. At that time, who would come to the famous actors?
The second film is not necessary, because after all, it is a film with a collection of stories, but now, the third "Father" needs a facade that can hold the box office.
Wang Yifan’s actor requirements for the role of the father in "Father" should not be too old, because after all, the movie has spanned more than ten or twenty years, and the role has also gone from young to old.
Therefore, actors need to be those who can play both young and old.
In this way, there are really not many suitable actors. On the one hand, we must also consider the cost performance. After all, the cost of "Father" is definitely higher than the previous two, but it is still a mid-to-low-cost feature film.
Wang Yifan’s own director and screenwriter received 10 million in remuneration, and the total cost will definitely not exceed 30 million. Even if the production cost is 30 million, then, if you want to hit the Spring Festival stalls, the publicity fee will at least exceed the production. cost.
The more popular the schedule, the more publicity costs are required. There is no alternative, the advertising costs are also rising.
Therefore, Wang Yifan has been screening suitable candidates these days. In the end, he has selected three actors who are more cost-effective, and have both fame and acting skills.
One is the veteran actress from Hong Kong Island, Chen Dahua.
Although Chen Dahua is over forty years old, he is known as the king of immortality, and the key point is that although Chen Dahua has not been called a box office poison in recent years, this year's "Stranger Calls" box office is considered good.
So his salary should not be too high.
There are also two, Li Junsheng, one of the four majors, both from mainland China. Li Junsheng is 35 years old this year. He is a good year. The advantage is that his popularity is very high. The disadvantage is that he has been in the TV drama circle. In terms of acting skills, Wang Yifan is not worried, because Li Junsheng's role as the emperor is a role spanning the three age groups of old, middle and young.
Li Junsheng's first starring movie last year, although it was not successful, but it really can not be regarded as his pot, mainly because the plot is too nonsense.
Li Junsheng is a very inspirational star, and his experience can be said to be enthusiastic. He was almost killed in a car accident before. After more than a year, he returned to the peak and was directly awarded as the emperor.
And the key point is that Li Junsheng obviously intends to turn to the movie circle, so the pay should not be too high.
The last one is more interesting. When it comes to cost-effectiveness, this one can be said to be the most suitable, because this one was once one of the top four big and small students, Yan He, but in recent years it seems that fortunes are not good, and he is frequently exposed to big names. Too arrogant and difficult to get along with, drama master and so on, but his acting skills are indeed very good.
But if you really believe those reports, then you are really naive. This is the entertainment industry.
It’s just a pity that this time, Wang Yifan’s side was a little unlucky. First of all, Chen Dahua has already accepted a film contract and is about to start filming. There is no schedule, and then Li Junsheng has also accepted a TV series. The same No schedule.
As a result, only the last candidate remained.
Soon, Yan He made an appointment to come over for an audition.
At the Jiuzhou Building in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Yan He dressed in suit and leather shoes appeared here with his agent.
"I heard that there were two candidates for director Wang Yifan, but they did not have a schedule, so you are the only person who auditioned today. If nothing else, this role should be yours," said agent Guo Hang.
"I'm not afraid of competition, it seems more interesting to have opponents." Yan He said indifferently.
"You, let me stay a little bit. Don't underestimate this Wang Yifan. Although he has only been in his career for 2 years, he already has the meaning of being the first director of the new generation. This opportunity is very important to you, and you know that you are now What fame." Guo Hang was a little serious and authentic.
"I see." Yan He glanced at Guo Hang and nodded.
It's just that Guo Hang sighed. Yan He has no shortage of talents, but his temper and external reports may be a little untrue, but it may not be unfounded.
Because of his temper, Yan He has missed many good opportunities. Even in the past two years, it is difficult for him to receive any big dramas because others have scruples about him.
Wang Yifan, Xu Cang, Li Mingjuan, and Chen Hanming are all here. Today, the film's absolute male protagonist will be auditioned, so no matter how important it is.
"Try these two scenes." Wang Yifan handed a piece of paper to Yan He.
Because it is a modern drama, there is no need to change clothes.
Yan He nodded, took the paper, and looked at it.
The two dramas correspond to the middle-aged father and the old father.
The first scene is actually better. The main test is the feeling of a father. This is very important. What Wang Yifan wants to see is whether Yan He can act as a father.
The second part of the scene is a scene for the elderly, and this scene is to test an actor's acting skills, because this scene is about acting a patient with dementia.
In the first paragraph, the co-director Li Mingjuan played against Yan He.
This scene is a scene in which a daughter likes a married man and is discovered by her father.
"I'm ready." Yan He confidently said.
"Let's start then." Wang Yifan nodded and said.
Yan He quickly entered the state, and Da Ma sat there with a golden sword, looking ahead.
Then, Li Mingjuan opened the door and walked in.
"Dad!" Li Mingjuan shouted.
"Come here, sit down, let's have a good chat!" Yan He said solemnly.
His acting was fine, but whether Wang Yifan or Xu Cang was fine, he couldn't help frowning.
Because Yan He actually changed the script directly.
However, neither of them said anything, but they basically gave Yan He an X in their hearts.
"A woman called home today..." Yan He said solemnly.
Li Mingjuan is not an actor. Yan He not only changed the plot, but also changed the lines. Everything was different. She was a little stunned and didn't know how to continue.
There was dumbfounded, looking at Yan He.
PS: Yan He: Actually I am an actor (the king of comedy)
Wang Yifan: It's not about changing the script, it's about voting!
