In addition to director Chen Guozhi, Lu Chen also met other main cast members of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer.
The first part of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer, Sword of Mount Hua, was definitely a star-studded cast. Lu Chen, Chen Fei 'er, Liu Gangsheng and Tan Hong were all well-deserved superstars. Together with the famous director Chen Guozhi, it could be said to be the most anticipated domestic blockbuster this year.
In addition, Shi Fang intended to play the role of Indigo Phoenix in this movie, so there was another shining name on the cast list of Sword of Mount Hua.
In addition to several famous leading roles, the important supporting roles in the movie were also famous. For example, Gu Yongjun who played the role of Yue Buqun, Ma Rongzhen who played the role of Qu Yang, and Sha Jingyao who played the role of Zuo Lenchan were all real veteran actors with fame and acting skills.
In fact, since Chen Fei Media released the news of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer, many entertainment agencies and even stars took the initiative to recommend themselves. Even if it was an ordinary supporting role, there would be people fighting for it.
Of course, Chen Fei Media chose the best of the best. They chose senior actors who could match the roles. In the selection of young actors, they basically didn't consider the popular so-called fresh meat. They paid more attention to the "price-performance ratio".
There were several agents of young fresh meat actors who came uninvited, but the conditions they offered made people speechless.
There was a very popular young actor in his twenties who was willing to play the role of Lin Pingzhi through his agent. His appearance and temperament were quite suitable for the role, and his market value was high enough.
At that time, Lu Xi was also a bit tempted.
But the agent asked for 50 million plus 5% of the box office, which made Lu Xi unable to continue the negotiation.
If the box office of Sword of Mount Hua was calculated according to one billion, excluding the cost, it would be 50 million. Plus the basic salary of 50 million, it would be 100 million.
If the box office results brought by the 100 million yuan spent on filming and special effects were not as good as the market appeal of this actor, then Chenfei Media could really go to sleep and not make any movies in the future.
Moreover, if he was given 100 million, then how much would Lu Chen, Chen Fei'er, and Liu Gangsheng need?
Therefore, although the agent said that they could negotiate, Lu Xi still refused. She only mentioned it to Lu Chen afterwards and didn't take it to heart.
Of course, Lu Chen was very supportive of his sister. He had always been in charge of the films and TV series, and he had never spent a huge amount of money on the choice of actors. Instead, he had paid more attention to the pre-filming and post-production.
Most importantly, in the film and television industry, there were many talented but not famous actors. Their salaries were often very reasonable, and their professionalism was far better than those so-called fresh meat who were spoiled by their fans.
At the same time, there were also a large number of people struggling at the bottom. They were even willing to give up all the rewards and benefits for a small role. All they wanted was a chance.
Lu Chen was known as the "Golden Touch" and "Star Making Machine" in the circle.
In the end, the role of Lin Pingzhi was won by a newcomer who graduated from the Capital Film Academy two years ago. Before joining the crew of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he had only played a few small supporting roles in several films and TV series, barely better than a cameo without lines.
It was not easy for him to get this important role, and the story could even be made into a TV series.
But there were also some people who got in easily.
"Brother Lu Chen, Sister Fei'er …"
A bald head popped out from behind Chen Guozhi and greeted Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er shyly.
Lu Chen took a closer look and couldn't help laughing — what a pretty little nun!
Dressed in a white monk's robe and shaved off her beautiful black hair, this young nun without any makeup and a shy face was Mu Xiaochu, who played Yi Lin.
According to the script, Yi Lin was a very important supporting female character in The Sword of Mount Hua in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Her scenes were only a little less than that of the first supporting female character, Yue Lingshan. It was reasonable to say that the choice of actors should be very careful.
But when Lu Chen wrote the script about Yi Lin, the first person he thought of was Mu Xiaochu. Even in terms of character creation, he also incorporated the characteristics of Mu Xiaochu.
Of course, Mu Xiaochu could also play this role. She was the soul of the first girl group MSN in the domestic pop music industry. She had shot many music videos and commercial advertisements, and had also played roles in many films and TV series. She did not lack acting experience and talent.
The most important thing was that she was recognized by fans as Lu Chen's sister and everyone's sister.
A role like Yi Lin, which made people feel sorry for her, was most suitable for her.
What Lu Chen didn't expect was that she actually shaved off her favorite long hair in order to play this role well!
Lu Chen couldn't help asking, "Xiaochu, are you taking a photo for your makeup?"
Mu Xiaochu nodded and asked shyly, "Is it ugly for me to shave my head?"
In fact, with the current makeup and special effects technology, it was fine for Mu Xiaochu not to shave her hair, but she resolutely made such a decision in order to pursue the most realistic effect.
"How can it be ugly?"
Without waiting for Lu Chen to answer, Chen Fei 'er smiled and took her hand: "I am the most beautiful little nun I have ever seen, and the most beautiful in all the movies!"
Chen Guozhi said with a smile, "Xiaochu is very good. You are a good material."
This great director rarely praised people, especially newcomers. It was not easy to get a word of praise from him.
But Chen Guozhi also liked Mu Xiaochu. The little girl had an excellent character and was willing to work hard, so he naturally encouraged her.
Mu Xiaochu was even more embarrassed.
And the young actors around her were all envious of her. With a "brother" like Lu Chen, she could get whatever she wanted in today's entertainment industry.
Even Chen Fei 'er also regarded her as a sister and was not jealous of her relationship with Lu Chen. In the past, there were people who hyped up the so-called gossip, but they were severely slapped in the face.
How lucky Mu Xiaochu was!
"Teacher Lu, Sister Fei 'er …"
The next moment, another beautiful girl came out of the crowd. It was Tong Xinyao.
Tong Xinyao was signed by Chen Fei Media. Not only did she release a hot single, but she also played a role in "You from the Star". She was regarded as one of the brightest stars in the entertainment industry.
This time, Chen Fei Media invested in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" trilogy, and she naturally got a big piece of cake — the role of the first supporting actress, Yue Lingshan!
