Chapter 1108 Casting Requirements(1/2)

The current version of "Fast and Furious" was modified by Yang Ming from the previous version of "Fast 5".

The plot and outline of the movie have basically not been changed at all. The main purpose is to modify the background of the characters to fit the background of contemporary China.

Currently, after the movie script has been revised, it gives Yang Ming a headache. There are three unresolved roles!

They are all male characters!

Male lead: Fan Tairan, this character is the prototype of Vin Diesel in his previous life.

Second male lead: Tang Fei, this is the role of Paul Walker.

Male number three: Hobbs, this character is the FBI agent played by Dwayne Johnson in his previous life. Yang Ming also put a lot of thought into this character.

The Chinese African-American Interpol Captain!

For this role, Yang Ming plans to use a black actor from Hollywood.

Although there are black actors in the domestic entertainment industry, in Yang Ming's impression, there are no black actors who meet his requirements.

Now, Sister Zhu mentioned that Tang Fei also used his own artists, which made Yang Ming feel a little hesitant and hesitant.

He knew that Sister Zhu's considerations were reasonable, but if the person was chosen improperly and was cast in a makeshift role, it would definitely have a certain impact on the movie. In fact, the most suitable person for this role was Yang Ming himself, but obviously Yang Ming didn't want to

Don't make another series of movies like this, otherwise he probably won't have any freedom at all.

The first film "Transformers" has already tricked him. When the sequel of "Transformers" is filmed next year, he, the male lead in the first film, will definitely continue to participate.

Otherwise, according to his idea, with the basis of the first film being a hit at the box office, he can leave the sequel to other directors to continue shooting. Then he only needs to write the script. For this kind of similar shooting, he will not be able to do it at all.

Not the least bit interested.

But now because he was the male lead in the first film, he must participate in the sequel. In this case, there will definitely be no other director willing to direct the sequel of "Transformers". The pressure is too much.

After doing it once, he will definitely not jump into the second pit.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to play the role of Tang Fei this time, and what happened to Paul Walker in his previous life also left Yang Ming with a shadow in his heart.

Sister Zhu saw Yang Ming frowning and thinking, so she didn't continue to speak. She just sat drinking coffee and waiting for Yang Ming's answer.

After a moment, after some thinking, Yang Ming tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and said after thinking: "Sister Zhu, for the role of Tang Fei, you can first let people from the company audition, but I don't know if you can get it.

I will give you a guarantee, after all, I have to consider the movie itself!"

Although he also wants to think about the future of the company, he will definitely not forcefully arrange roles for the company's artists that are not in line with their capabilities for the sake of the future.

In this way, it may not only affect the overall shooting of the movie, but also harm the artists themselves.

It’s not a good thing to encourage growth!

After hearing Yang Ming's words, Sister Zhu lowered her head and thought about it carefully, then nodded and said: "Well, okay, actually, I don't have to ask you to assign this role to the people below. My main idea is to let them

Give it a try!”

Yang Ming nodded when he heard this. He knew that Sister Zhu had spent countless efforts to grow the agency department of Oriental DreamWorks.

The two chatted for a while about the casting of Yang Ming's new film, and then Sister Zhu couldn't help but curiously asked Yang Ming: "Who do you want to play the role of Fan Tairan?"

Sister Zhu has already read the script and knows that the male lead is Fan Tairan, who can be said to be the most outstanding role. Naturally, she is very curious about Yang Ming's requirements.

Seeing Sister Zhu's curious expression, Yang Ming coughed dryly, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "He is at least 1.85 meters tall, weighs about 100 kilograms, has a tough appearance and well-developed muscles. It is best to be a muscular man."

That way!”

When Sister Zhu heard Yang Ming's request for the male lead, Fan Tairan, she couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at Yang Ming in disbelief and said, "Do you want a bear? Oh my God, 100 kilograms? And it also has to be muscular. I

It is estimated that there are no actors suitable for your requirements in the entire entertainment industry!"

At the end of the sentence, Sister Zhu had a look of affirmation on her face.

After hearing this, Yang Ming looked quite worried and nodded in agreement: "Hey, I'm worried to death, but if I can't meet this requirement, I may not be able to get the effect I want!"

"Fast and Furious 5" also has action scenes, but compared with Chinese action movies, it is a different action movie shooting style.

In fact, after many talents in Chinese-language action films flooded into Hollywood in the previous life, they brought the characteristics of Chinese-language action films to Hollywood, gradually changing the clumsy characteristics of Hollywood's action shots.

After gradually blending the characteristics of Chinese action movies into Hollywood's own action movies, the subsequent blockbusters produced by Hollywood also gradually formed their own characteristics.

The later installments in the "Fast and Furious" series can be said to be typical examples.

Another one that stands out is "The Bourne Supremacy"!

If it were a Chinese actor, it would definitely be a pure Chinese action movie.

The most impressive thing about "The Fast and the Furious" is not only the passion ignited by the roar of the engine and the surging blood of the speed, but also the wild collision of muscles!

Therefore, apart from skin color and background, Yang Ming did not want to make any changes to the characteristics of this character and the classic screen image of his previous life, except for the skin color and background. He still wanted to maintain the original flavor of his previous life.

Sister Zhu had no choice but to shrug her shoulders at Yang Ming's weird request. Originally, she had some thoughts about the role of the male lead, but after hearing Yang Ming's words, her thoughts were completely gone.

Are you kidding me? She must be at least 1.85 meters tall, weigh about 100 kilograms, and have muscles all over her body. These requirements made her dizzy. The little arms and legs she had were not in line with Yang Ming's requirements at all.

There are a lot of handsome and warm men in the company. Even if they are young, obviously, there are many in the company.

But there is really no artist under the company who is like this kind of beastly man. Thinking of this, Sister Zhu couldn't help but light up and felt that she needed to pay attention to the direction of the company's artist training.

Although handsome guys and pretty girls are indispensable, the company must also cultivate and discover actors with this type of personality.

"Mr. Yang, are you really going to choose the role of Hobbes from Hollywood?" Sister Zhu knew something about the selection of roles in Yang Ming's new film. She knew that the African-American character designed by Yang Ming was going to be chosen from Hollywood.

Find a big star to come over.

"Yeah!" Yang Ming nodded and sighed slightly, "There is no way. None of the African-American celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry fit Hobbes. I can only choose from Hollywood. If I choose a big Hollywood name

, it will also be able to cooperate with the film’s release in the United States.”

"Your request for Hobbes is also a wild beast, right? There are many words on Wucuo Novel Network." Sister Zhu rolled her eyes and couldn't help but suddenly thought of a question, and then blurted out the question.

When she asked this question, she saw Yang Ming nod his head and said leisurely: "Absolutely!"

Seeing Sister Zhu's eyes were dazed, she couldn't help but blink her eyes, and her heart was filled with countless questions!

OMG!

What kind of movie is this boss planning to make for his new movie?

Didn't it say it was a racing movie? Why did they choose the actors? Except for Tang Fei, none of the other characters seemed to be normal. No matter how you look at them, they all took the route of beasts!

Sister Zhu thought about it carefully, but she was still confused.

He is about 1.9 meters tall, weighs about 100 kilograms, has strong muscles and a strong body. As for his appearance, it only needs to be worthy of the audience.

When the two muscular men came together, it was hard for Sister Zhu to imagine what kind of racing movie Yang Ming's new film would turn into.

Yang Ming stayed in the Lion City for a week before returning to Yanjing.

During this week, he cooperated with the Lion City officials and held a grand press conference to announce that most of the scenes of "The Fast and the Furious" will be shot in the Lion City, and the entire city of the Lion City will be filmed.

Features, blended into the movie's shots.

At the press conference, Yang Ming answered all the reporters' questions one by one in a comprehensive manner. Except for a few topics involving personal issues, which Yang Ming avoided answering, he answered all other topics head-on.

.

The reporters at the scene left with satisfaction.

During his stay in the Lion City, Yang Ming also met with the He family, communicated about WeChat cooperation, and determined the general intention for cooperation.

But the final shareholding agreement still has to wait for brother-in-law Li Xingyi to negotiate with the He family.

Yang Ming estimates that the He family will have to spend at least 30 billion yuan to obtain about 15% of the original shares of WeChat!

He basically leaves business matters to his uncle Li Xingyi. Anyway, his uncle has a team specially recruited from outside for business negotiations. Yang Ming is just a hands-off shopkeeper.

After Yang Ming returned to Yanjing, the casting work for "The Fast and the Furious" was fully launched, and the progress accelerated a lot.

But no one expected that the first role to be determined was neither Tang Fei nor the two roles of Han Feng and Ji Jiaojiao that Sister Zhu got from Yang Ming, but the role of Qiao Na.

Fan Na, the wife of Tang Fei in "The Fast and the Furious", is also the sister of the male lead Fan Tairan.

It's just that the person who plays Fanna surprised everyone, but it was also expected.

Huang Xiaofeng.

A diva-level actor, she has been nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress several times. Although she has not won the award, it does not hinder Huang Xiaofeng's status in the entertainment industry.

Especially this diva, her appeal at the movie box office is not comparable to that of ordinary diva-level actresses!

Because Huang Xiaofeng has always been an actress favored by local directors who are good at shooting commercial films, and almost nine out of ten of her film works are commercial films. This is why she has been nominated for the Golden Dragon Award many times, but failed to do so.

An important factor in winning awards.

After all, for the Golden Dragon Awards, the organizing committee prefers artistic films.

Unless this commercial film can break countless records in film history like "Transformers" and force the organizing committee to pay attention to this commercial film, will it be possible for commercial films to make a breakthrough at the Golden Dragon Awards?

.

When the media learned from Oriental DreamWorks that the first confirmed role in Yang Ming's new film would be played by the well-known local actress Huang Xiaofeng, they immediately reported it. When the news spread, everyone in the entertainment industry was shocked.

Surprise is also expected.

The relationship between Huang Xiaofeng and Mingjing is well known in the entertainment industry.

Although these two have not yet obtained a marriage certificate, everyone knows that they are a couple.
