Millennium director

The entertainment industry has never been able to hide secrets.

The fact that Light and Shadow Era called all its actors back to the company with great fanfare was naturally something they couldn't hide from those who were interested.

There is no need to hide the new movie plan.

On the second day after the company's actors returned to the company, major entertainment media discovered the status of the new film project in the Light and Shadow Era.

The two projects were approved together, and both are blockbusters with an investment of more than 150 million. There are two more movies in the pipeline.

This news instantly ignited the mainland Internet.

In the past two years, various blockbusters have emerged one after another in the Mainland, and all movie fans are somewhat scared when they see the word blockbuster.

There's no way, it's just that each of these "blockbusters" is worse than the last.

Not to mention it, let’s just say that in January this year, the historical biographical blockbuster "Confucius" starring Chow Yunmao, Zhou Xun, and Chen Jianbin had just been released.

Then the reputation plummeted, and I was miserable when I was scolded.

Confucius played by Zhou Runmao, a Hong Kong actor, is full of flaws. Zhou Xun, a southerner, is incomprehensible. There is no point in discussing the creation of this movie. This movie should not have been made at all.

Even under the pressure of official propaganda and administrative orders, the box office of this movie actually did not exceed 100 million (the promotion said it exceeded 100 million, but in fact it was more than 90 million).

Now movie fans are a little scared by the word "blockbuster".

Of the ten blockbusters, eight were bad, and the remaining two were not good enough to be considered masterpieces.

The only exception is the blockbusters of the light and shadow era!

From "Painted Skin 1" to "Gravity" to "Along with the Gods" to "Painted Skin 2", although the number of blockbusters in the light and shadow era is not large, the quality is really good.

In addition, movies such as "Whose Youth Is Not Confused" and "Those Years" produced by Light and Shadow Era also have great reputations.

Now domestic movie fans and audiences are really looking forward to new movies in the era of light and shadow!

Now two blockbusters have been announced at once, which makes everyone happy!

On the post bar of the Light and Shadow Era, countless bar friends gathered here to enthusiastically discuss the news exposed by the entertainment media.

The people who can hang out in this group are of course company fans and career fans in the light and shadow era.

They may be a die-hard fan of one of its actors, or they may simply like to watch movies produced by the Light and Shadow Era.

But equally, they are full of expectations for new films in the era of light and shadow.

"Two blockbusters! I'll be blessed next year!"

"I can't wait to see these two movies. Now the movies from Light and Shadow Era and Huayi are worth looking forward to."

"Movies in the light and shadow era all used mainland actors, and there were very few actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. I can finally stop watching those old faces."

“It’s true that the blockbusters made by directors and actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan are not good enough. We still have to watch the blockbusters made by our own mainland!”

"Does any insider know what the themes of these two blockbusters are? Are they still the same oriental fantasy and magic as "Painted Skin"?"

"My aunt's son works at Light and Shadow Era, and I heard from him that this time Light and Shadow Era is going to make a big move, and these two blockbusters will be very special!"

"What a special method, please tell me more!"

"Well, if I ask him again, he will remain tight-lipped."

"Speechless."

Fans of the Light and Shadow Era are discussing it enthusiastically, and ordinary netizens and passers-by are also very interested in this news.

After all, Light and Shadow Era does produce high-quality movies frequently. Even ordinary netizens who don’t like the movies produced by this company will not unconscionably think that the films produced by Light and Shadow Era are all bad. They just feel that they are not to their taste.

What if their new movie doesn't suit your taste?

With this expectation, from portals and forums such as Tieba and Hupu to emerging social platforms such as Penguin Weibo, Sohu Weibo, and Sina Weibo, they are all eagerly discussing the new moves in the era of light and shadow.

At this time when netizens were making a fuss, Light and Shadow Times quietly started auditions for two movies.

There were twenty or thirty actors in the company, and it was not troublesome to audition. It only took a day or two. The filming team, headed by two directors Liu Meichuan and Zhang Guorong, almost selected the actors they wanted.

Liu Meichuan will be responsible for the filming of "Soul Ferry: Huangquan", while Zhang Guorong will be responsible for the filming of "The Legend of Shushan Xiaxia".

After years of experience, the two of them are now well-known directors in the country, and they can basically make their own decisions.

Wu Yuan only received a list of actors from the two-person team after the casting was completed.

Wu Yuan, who had already arrived in Brazil and was enjoying the South American style, also took time out from traveling to read the casting list.

In "Soul Ferry: Huangquan", in addition to Yu Yi, the co-leading actor Chang Sheng was taken by Zhu Yilong.

Liu Meichuan boldly hired a new person to play the leading role. This is why young directors dare to use people.

As for the mother and daughter of Meng Qi and San Qi, none of the female artists in the company wanted to play the role of Meng Qi, and she was in the script and obviously had no follow-up role.

So in the end, this role still needs to be auditioned to find a suitable actor.

The competition for Sanqi is fierce, and almost every actress in the company wants to play it. After all, this character survived to the end and became the new Po Meng. There may be scenes in subsequent movies.

In the end, after a fierce competition, this innocent and cute girl role was won by Yang Rong.

Yang Rong's current fame is not much greater than Zhu Yilong's.

It can be said that the two leading actors in this movie are both newcomers. In addition, Yu Yi, a TV drama star, and two veteran actors who played Meng Qi and Shushan Sword Elder joined in the later period. The star power of this movie also seems too much. dimmed.

After Liu Meichuan's casting results came out, many of the company's top executives were somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, this is a blockbuster with an investment of more than 150 million, and there are not even a single first-line movie actor. It is really frightening to watch.

However, after the lawsuit reached Wu Yuan's side, Wu Yuan still agreed to the casting.

The era of light and shadow has passed the stage where actors are needed to help movies compete at the box office.

Now the brand of Light and Shadow Era can attract box office by itself.

Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" also boldly cast Huayi's own young actors as starring roles. Wasn't it also a box office hit?

At least by doing this, most of the production costs can be spent on special effects and filming, which is much better than giving all the money to famous actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The casting selection for the movie "The Legend of Shushan Immortals" was also extremely fierce.

Zhang Guorong, who has always been known as a talkative person in the company, also had a headache for a long time before settling on the starring role.

The role of the male protagonist Taiwu Zhenren Li Wei was finally won by Zhu Yawen. Who calls him the number one brother in the company?

In fact, it would be better for Hu Ge to play this role, but it is a pity that Hu Ge is not a contracted actor of the Light and Shadow Era.

Don't let the fertilizer flow to outsiders' fields.

In addition, Yuan Hong got the role of the senior brother, who has a very important role, and his looks are quite good.

As for the senior sister and junior sister.

The company's actresses almost didn't fight for these two roles! (End of chapter)
