Millennium director

"The Great Wall", what a great IP this is, is not only the biggest business card of the Chinese people in the world, but also the most familiar historical building of the Chinese people themselves.

This IP cannot be ruined like this by Legend.

Keeping this in mind, Wu Yuan planned to discuss the project and production of "The Great Wall" with Zhang Yimou after he completed the movie "Return".

The reason why Zhang Yimou was persuaded by the legend is simply that he wanted to try new things and was unwilling to be lonely. He wanted to try an IMAX 3D special effects blockbuster that had never been shot before!

Zhang Yimou is an old man with a young heart. He has always had a young heart that keeps up with the development of the film era.

Wu Yuan still supports and encourages this aspect.

Light and Shadow Era is the best company in China for special effects blockbusters!

The most professional special effects team in the country is in the era of light and shadow.

The director who is best at making 3D special effects blockbusters in China is also in the age of light and shadow.

Even Wu Yuan’s Hollywood special effects connections are not inferior to those of Legendary Pictures.

There is absolutely no need for Zhang Yimou to cooperate with Legendary Pictures in this life. Cooperating with Light and Shadow Era can also realize his idea of ​​trying new technologies.

And Wu Yuan will not interfere too much with Zhang Yimou's creation!

However, there is no rush to discuss this matter with Zhang Yimou. It is still early. Legendary Pictures only started launching the "Great Wall" project in 2015, so we just have to get there before them.

Wu Yuan is now more focused on another thing, which is the preparations for his new movie.

Originally, he was planning to hold a script seminar for the main actors of "Dear" and brainstorm with them to see if there was anything in the script that needed to be modified or strengthened.

After all, the script this time was stitched up by himself and had not been tested by the market, so he was a little worried.

It was just because of the emergence of Zhang Yimou that his work rhythm was suddenly disrupted.

After spending less than half a month to resolve the matter of Zhang Yimou joining the company, Wu Yuan got back to work on his new movie.

On this snowy day in Beijing in December, Wu Yuan summoned the starring actors of "Dear" to the headquarters of Light and Shadow Times Company.

He also spent a lot of time coordinating the schedules of these actors.

After all, they are all quite popular actors.

Needless to say, Huang Bo, the past two years have been the time when his acting career has been booming. The Golden Horse Best Actor, who has finally managed to get ahead, has no shortage of film appointments in the past two years. It was only when Wu Yuan came forward to invite him that he could firmly reject other actors. All the movies he had signed, and even one that had signed an intention contract were declined.

If it were someone else, it would probably not be as good as Huang Bo's schedule.

Although Tan Zhuo is only averagely popular among the public and not well-known, she is not lacking in film appointments. She is the queen of art films, and Tan Zhuo's salary is cheap, cheap and easy to use. Many directors of art films want to hire her. .

For the other main actors, Wu Yuan also found veteran actors with good acting skills and high reputations.

The second male lead, who is also a single father looking for a child in the story, is played by Zhang Yi.

The second female lead, in the story, the new mother Li Hongqin who was sold to the hero and heroine after their son was abducted and sold to the countryside is played by Hao Lei.

Wu Yuan finally decided to use Hao Lei, but she was demoted from the first female lead to the second female lead.

In the story, Mr. Han, the wealthy businessman who serves as the core of the entire family search team and the most active and determined representative of those looking for the missing children, is played by Zhang Songwen.

It was really a coincidence to find him to play this role.

Although Wu Yuan was in his dream when "Hurry Up" became a hit, Wu Yuan really never paid much attention to the actor Zhang Songwen.

It's not that he doesn't like Zhang Songwen, it's just that there is no shortage of good domestic actors, especially from 2000 to 2010, so there is no need for him to go out of his way to find Zhang Songwen to play any role.

The reason why I approached Zhang Songwen this time was because Zhang Songwen acted in Ning Hao's "The Golden Heist" and I got to know this director who was born in the Nortel Photography Department.

After hearing that Wu Yuan's new movie was looking for actors, Zhang Songwen took the initiative to contact Ning Hao, hoping that Ning Hao could help recommend him.

It was Zhang Songwen's character that dared to seize opportunities and actively recommended himself that gave him the opportunity to audition and finally won the role.

His appearance, personality and temperament are quite suitable for the role of Mr. Han.

The person who plays Mr. Han's wife is the company's Wang Likun. She doesn't have many roles in this role. Logically speaking, Wang Likun, who played the senior sister in "The Legend of Shushan Immortal", doesn't need to play such a small role.

But Wu Yuan took the initiative to mention her name and felt that she was suitable for this role of a wife. Of course Wang Likun would not refuse.

There are so many artists in the company, who wouldn’t want to get closer to Wu Yuan and join his crew?

This time I only played a less important female lead, but through this interaction with Wu Yuan, I might be able to become the leading female lead in Wu Yuan's movies in the future!

After all, it’s not like Liu Yifei can play the heroine in Wu Yuan’s movies every time!

Others have a chance too!

Didn’t this opportunity fall on Tan Zhuo?

When several leading actors arrived at a conference room in the Light and Shadow Era, Hao Lei, Wang Likun and other actresses looked at Tan Zhuo with envy.

Before this, Tan Zhuo didn't really have much fame. She was an actress who mainly acted in literary films. In this era of business first, she didn't have much status and influence at all. As a result, "Dear" The leading actress happened to fall on her head, what a blessing.

Both of them took the initiative to greet Tan Zhuo and compliment her implicitly.

There is no way, they all believe that after the movie "Dear" is completed and released, Tan Zhuo will no longer be just the literary queen whose influence is limited to the field of literary films, she will reach the public!

Such an actor who is favored by Wu Yuan is still worth getting along with.

However, before the two could get close to each other, Wu Yuan opened the door and walked in with a thick stack of scripts.

"Everyone is here."

Looking around at the actors present, he smiled with satisfaction.

This cast configuration is quite good, except for Wang Likun, all acting talents.

As for Wang Likun, her appearance is also very important to the overall effect of the movie. Although her character does not appear many times, she can dilute a lot of the sadness of the movie and add a bit of color to the movie.

"Have you read all the scripts distributed to you?" Wu Yuan asked again.

Huang Bo and others nodded quickly. The script was given to them half a month ago. They have been trying to figure out the script every day during this period and have almost memorized it all.

"Then let's talk about your respective opinions on the characters and the movie."

"Everyone can speak freely. If you think there are flaws or unreasonable things in the script, you can point them out. Everything can be easily modified before filming starts."

"Don't worry, I hope our brainstorming will make the script of this movie more perfect!" (End of Chapter)
