Millennium director

Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Duan Yihong, Zhang Guoqiang, Zhang Hanyu, Miao Pu, Zhong Chuxi, and Yu Nan.

The actors selected by Zhang Yimou for "The Great Wall" are a group of domestic entertainment military service.

The male actors are all common actors in mainland war films and military dramas, and the female actors are also rare heroic actresses. It really fits the saying.

Carrying a gun is a soldier!

Anyway, Wu Yuan was amused when he saw this list of actors.

But while feeling funny, he was also secretly looking forward to what this new version of "The Great Wall" would look like in the end.

It has to be said that such a cast is indeed exciting enough, just like "My Captain, My Regiment" back then.

It's just that after learning about Zhang Yimou's list of actors, Wu Yuan received another news from the company a few days later.

When he was flapping his butterfly wings, for some reason, Lu Zheng actually came to the door, hoping to squeeze Da Tiantian into the crew of "The Great Wall", and he wanted the leading female role.

This really puzzled Wu Yuan.

In the original time and space, Da Tiantian was able to join the crew of "The Great Wall" and become the leading actress, because the original time and space "The Great Wall" was invested by Wanda Pictures.

Actually.

At that time, it was widely rumored in the circle that Da Tiantian had a lot of connections and could even act in Hollywood movies, but in fact, if you dig deeper, you will find that all the Hollywood movies played by Da Tiantian were produced by Legendary Pictures.

"King Kong: Skull Island" and "Pacific Rim: Uprising" are both films produced by Legendary Pictures.

Legendary Pictures is also one of the producers of "The Great Wall".

At that time, Legendary Pictures and Wanda were so close that they were almost in the same boat. Later, on January 12, 2016, this North American independent film company was directly acquired by Wanda.

In this case, Lu Zheng, a Wanda executive, can of course directly influence the choice of the heroine of "The Great Wall".

And it is not surprising that he put Da Tiantian into Legendary Pictures' movies to gild them.

Da Tiantian really doesn't have a background that's all-powerful, and she's not the legendary princess with a rich family background.

She's just Lu Zheng's canary.

After breaking up with Lu Zheng, she no longer has any resources, and the movies she starred in have been downgraded year by year.

Wu Yuan knows all this very well.

But it's because he knows it very well that he's a little speechless.

It's Guangying Times that's making "The Great Wall" in this life!

Why does Lu Zheng think he can influence Guangying Times' production and casting? !

And he even said shamelessly that he wanted to arrange Da Tiantian as the leading actress.

Indeed, Lu Zheng didn't come here to make trouble with empty words. In order to achieve this goal, he brought several projects to cooperate with Wanda.

As long as Guangying Times nods, it can immediately start multiple cooperations with Wanda from theaters to film production, and the funds involved in these cooperations exceed nine figures.

However, this doesn't make any sense to Wu Yuan.

Guangying Times is developing very smoothly, and there is no need to cooperate with Wanda.

There is even a sense of competition between the two parties now.

They are all in charge of cinemas and production, and even Guangying Times has mastered the online broadcasting platform. If we only talk about the film and television entertainment industry, Guangying Times is a giant company that is bigger than Wanda Pictures.

Even if Guangying Times wants to cooperate with Wanda Pictures, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. It can directly start a company-level connection and negotiate normally. Why bother to throw the leading actress of "The Great Wall" to Lu Zheng.

Wu Yuan is really a black chicken and a mackerel this time.

Lu Zheng's brain circuit is really problematic.

No wonder he can't make a female star popular after ten years of hard work.

On the contrary, after Da Tiantian left Lu Zheng, she immediately became popular with "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" and "Sito".

I can only say that Lu Zheng's vision of selecting films is really problematic, and his brain circuit is also quite abnormal.

It is estimated that Lu Zheng's decision to take a fancy to "The Great Wall" this time has nothing to do with Da Tiantian. He wanted to get the project for Da Tiantian.

After thinking everything through, Wu Yuan said to Li Xiaoping speechlessly: "Reject Lu Zheng."

"Tell him that the company will not interfere with Director Zhang Yimou's casting work. It is up to Director Zhang Yimou to decide which actors to use. Although we are the producer, we will not force any actors."

"If Lu Zheng really wants Da Tiantian to join the crew of "The Great Wall", I will not stop him. Let him take Da Tiantian to find Director Zhang Yimou for an audition."

"If Director Zhang Yimou really likes her, I welcome her with both hands."

It's not that Wu Yuan looks down on Da Tiantian.

Without the capital forcing her, Director Zhang Yimou would not be able to take a fancy to Da Tiantian.

Although Da Tiantian has filmed many movies so far, and she is also very dedicated and hardworking, she has never relied on her background to act like a big shot in the crew. On the contrary, people who have worked with her have a high opinion of her personality.

But talent really has a ceiling.

In terms of acting talent, Da Tiantian is not as good as Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei can still make a living by her talent, but Da Tiantian really doesn't have enough talent. At best, she is just a small screen queen, and her acting skills are really not good enough for the big screen.

And the actors selected by Zhang Yimou, even if they are newcomers, like Zhou Dongyu and Ni Ni, are natural movie actors.

If director Zhang Yimou really liked Da Tiantian and asked her to play the leading female role, Wu Yuan would have to applaud Da Tiantian and praise her for her hidden talent.

However, reality is very cruel.

After being rejected, Lu Zheng really took Da Tiantian to Zhang Yimou for an audition. He still had some face.

Zhang Yimou did prepare an audition for Da Tiantian very seriously.

Da Tiantian, who was confused and didn't know what happened and how many games were played behind the scenes, only admired Zhang Yimou when she saw him.

When it came to assessing her acting skills, the scene was shocking.

After the performance, Zhang Yimou's old face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and he barely praised her with a few polite words such as "not bad" and "pretty".

Even so, Lu Zheng and Da Tiantian didn't understand the meaning, and they happily went back to wait for notification, thinking that Zhang Yimou liked Da Tiantian's acting skills.

Then she waited until the filming of The Great Wall officially started, but she didn’t get any news about her joining the crew.

Later, Wu Yuan heard some gossips, and Lu Zheng was furious about it. Then he turned around and used his connections to get Da Tiantian into the crew of The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain directed by Chen Kaige, directly replacing Sister Zhiling’s role.

The world where only Chen Kaige was hurt was created (end of this chapter)
