In addition, this movie can be said to form a multinational coalition.
But in fact, for Li Junsheng, he has read the script, but he has doubts.
Because he thinks he has read countless films, he has acted in TV dramas, movies, dramas, art films, and commercial films. He has all been involved in it. Perhaps his artistic awareness is not that high, but At least, he thinks, a movie with an investment of 200 million dollars, at least, can't let him, the starring role, be in the mist, right?
Therefore, Li Junsheng hesitated, but even so, faced with the tens of millions of dollars in remuneration and the possible temptation to become an international superstar, he still finds it difficult to refuse.
Moreover, even though it seems that some people have high salaries in China, there are really only a handful of domestic actors who can earn tens of millions of dollars in salaries.
Once this movie is successful, Li Junsheng's pay will rise again on this basis.
But the same sentence, a movie that even he thinks is too complicated, can it really reach what Chen Hang said?
Subvert the entire Chinese film and television circle? Even subvert Hollywood?
At this moment, Wang Yifan's appearance can be said to make Li Junsheng no longer have to worry about it.
On the one hand, Li Junsheng and Chen Hang don’t have much friendship, and Wang Yifan is his Bole. Wang Yifan’s film invitation can be used as an excuse for his rejection of Chen Hang’s new film, and this excuse is very useful, because everyone knows, The reason why Li Junsheng received "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is because of Wang Yifan.
At the beginning, Li Junsheng was caught in the quagmire of the TV circle and couldn't help himself. The movie he participated in has never found the right target. It can be said that the position is quite awkward. Where is it like now, even Chen Hang invited him to play the actor of his new film. .
"Let me say it first, my new movie is not that easy. You need to go to the space agency and receive training. It takes at least one month, and I can't pay you such a high salary!" Wang Yifan said with a smile. It’s not that he can’t afford to pay 10 million U.S. dollars, but because there are rules in the country. Generally speaking, co-produced films are paid at premium prices most of the time. , The remuneration of domestic and foreign stars needs a compromise.
It should not be too different, otherwise it will cause trouble.
But Wang Yifan's movies are made in China from head to toe, and the investment cost cannot be as much as $200 million like Chen Hang.
Of course, star actors at the level of Li Junsheng are already eligible for the share.
Li Junsheng didn't say anything. After reading the story script given by Wang Yifan, his eyes lit up.
This is definitely a very challenging film for him, because it is really a one-man show, from the beginning to the end is his one-man show.
Is Lee Jun a poor student? It's not bad for money. In fact, Chinese stars live very comfortably, and they are definitely not bad for money.
Li Junsheng's "Legend of the Sword and the Fairy" received tens of millions even at a friendly price, and there were also various portrait copyright licenses in the future. Although not many, it was also in the millions.
Of course, no one is too much money, but Li Junsheng hopes to go further in his career.
Once "The Martian" succeeds, then his personal box office appeal will be proven. At that time, even if the lion speaks loudly, he will be confident.
...
Chen Hang was really interested in Li Junsheng. One is that his acting skills are guaranteed and his popularity is enough. In addition, when Li Junsheng auditioned, he gave Chen Hang the feeling that it fits the role. Therefore, he did not hesitate to ask for tens of millions of dollars. Pay.
I thought it should be right, but the result went far beyond Chen Hang's expectations.
"He refused? What's the matter?" Chen Hang couldn't help frowning.
This is something he couldn't imagine. In fact, there are really many people who are interested in this role. Li Junsheng may not be a unique candidate, but the problem is that, just like this, Li Junsheng actually refused.
"He took Wang Yifan's new film." said Chen Ke, the producer who was in charge of talking to Li Junsheng's agent about the pay.
"Wang Yifan's new movie?" Chen Hang's brow furrowed deeper.
For Wang Yifan, Chen Hang's perception is quite complicated, because when he was already a major science fiction director, Wang Yifan was just a fledgling newcomer.
He was not in his eyes at all, but after a few years, Wang Yifan was able to sit on an equal footing with him.
Now, Wang Yifan's movies are actually more attractive than his movies, which makes Chen Hang very unhappy.
"In fact, this is normal. Wang Yifan can be said to be Li Junsheng's Bole. Therefore, I believe it is because Wang Yifan and Li Junsheng's personal relationship made Li Junsheng have to choose this way." Chen Ke explained.
Chen Hang nodded blankly.
Although he was still upset, he didn't say anything.
...
The preparations for "The Martian" are in full swing. In fact, this film, as Wang Yifan said before, only takes a few months, not bragging. The preparation period is about three months, mainly because of Li Junsheng and Yigan. All actors need to receive special training from the Space Agency. After all, they are in space, so training for weightlessness and so on is still needed.
At the same time, "The Martian" also needed to build a large studio for shooting.
Not only that, but also the construction of the space capsule, which takes time.
Instead, it was shooting. Wang Yifan’s set time was actually only about 40 days.
Because the filming is really not difficult, it does not involve too many actors, except for the beginning and the end, most of the time, it is a one-man show with Li Junsheng alone.
In contrast, the small-cost thriller that Yang Qin and others shot for Xinxing, the progress is horribly fast.
Yang Qin’s film is actually a bit more troublesome, mainly in terms of scale. "The Dark Side" does not invite unknown amateur actors. On the contrary, they are all famous actors.
The biggest selling point of this film, besides the theme of the film and the dark side of everyone, there is another scene.
Sex scenes are actually difficult to shoot, why do you say that? Because you want to show it in theaters, this scene must not go too far, otherwise, wait for 404.
As for scenes, if it is a fake scene, the cost is lower and it is better to shoot, but it is obviously impossible to shoot like this, and it is very troublesome for fake shooting to achieve the effect.
Therefore, although the progress of "The Dark Side" is also good, it is much worse than the others.
The fastest filmed was "127 Hours". The film that finally got the right to direct is actually not a new director in the true sense. However, he is indeed the first time he filmed a big screen work. Su Zhen has made a lot of micro-movies before and also made big online movies, all of them are thrillers.
The reason why he was selected and won in the end was because Su Zhen really had a way of making thrillers.
