The directors were quickly convinced by Boss Jia.
Therefore, they still felt that it was very embarrassing. However, when they thought about how their movie could represent Hua Xia and bring a new cultural impact to an advanced country like the United States, they felt that some things did not matter anymore.
In Boss Jia's words, this was called the rise of Hua Xia's people in terms of culture.
Of course, these directors were very clear that Boss Jia's words were pleasant to hear. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms could not be achieved in the foreign market. The elements of Hua Xia were insignificant in the international market.
If their movie could exceed ten million USD in the United States, they would be burning incense to thank the gods. Moreover, eight million USD could be contributed by the Chinese in the United States.
After all, when "Farewell My Concubine" was released in the United States, 90% of the box office came from the Chinese in Chinatown. This was an indisputable fact.
Although the directors had some expectations for the box office and felt that Boss Jia's promise of the future and Apple was a joke, as long as there was such a thought, the whole crew naturally began to feel excited.
"Mr. Jia, thank you for your support!" When Boss Jia and the directors finished talking, a timid voice said.
Boss Jia glanced at it. Oh, isn't this our heartthrob?
Ahem, sorry. At this time, Chen Hao had not accepted the role of "Pink Lady" that changed her acting life. Therefore, Chen Hao was basically an invisible character in Hua Xia.
After all, she had only been admitted to the Central Academy of Drama last year. So far, she had only acted in one movie, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", and it was a flop when it was released in China.
Although this movie would later blossom within the walls, it achieved unimaginable results in Fusang and took the first box office record of a Hua Xia movie in Fusang: 350 million yen.
However, in this movie, Chen Hao was not the main character. After she finished filming, she went straight back to school. To the current Hua Xia film and television industry, Chen Hao was completely transparent.
Therefore, when Chen Hao, who was studying in school, suddenly received a phone call saying that the other party was from a Daqian movie and invited her to audition for the role of Diao Chan, Chen Hao was completely dumbfounded.
One had to know that all the actresses in Hua Xia were about to fight over the role of Diao Chan.
First of all, the TV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had set off an unimaginable viewership craze in Hua Xia. At that time, Chen Hong, who played the role of Diao Chan, had become one of the top actresses in Hua Xia. Later on, she was fancied by Director Chen and became his wife. This was a crazy jump in popularity!
Now, the movie version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was going to be made. Not only did they maintain the original cast, but they also received international capital investment. It was said that in the future, it would be released simultaneously around the world and enter Hollywood and the world.
Wouldn't this make all the actresses in Hua Xia go crazy? It was said that no matter whether they were famous or not, whether they were above 30 years old or below, they were madly contacting all kinds of people to get the role of Diao Chan.
For example, a 43-year-old aunt thought that she could play the role of an 18-year-old invincible beauty.
Even Chen Hong was said to have regretted it.
When she first received the news, she thought that CCTV wanted to make a movie version, at most, it would be shown in domestic cinemas. To her, there was no more development prospects. Moreover, the salary was low, only a few hundred yuan a month. It was not even worth a bottle of her body lotion. Of course, Chen Hong rejected it without thinking.
However, when she learned that this was a Daqian movie that would be released simultaneously around the world and could enter Hollywood, she immediately regretted it. After all, no one in Hua Xia could resist the temptation of entering Hollywood these days.
Therefore, Chen Hong secretly said that if the Daqian was willing to let her continue to be an investigator, she would be willing to have an abortion to accommodate the schedule.
Chen Hong's baby was almost seven months old now. It was not a small price to pay. Chen Hong was very decisive, but unfortunately, she was directly rejected by Boss Jia.
It was not that Boss Jia did not like Chen Hong, but a seven-month-old baby was already a life. Even if it was in her belly, it was already a life. She could not do anything wrong.
After Chen Hong was rejected, the competition in the circle became more fierce. Later, there was even a case where someone pretended to be the casting director of the Daqian movie and slept with four or five young actresses who dreamed of playing Diao Chan. It caused a stir in the circle again.
Therefore, when Chen Hao received this call, her first reaction was to think that the other party was a liar. Then, she hung up the phone. It was not until the Daqian Film Company called the office of the Chinese Academy of Drama that Chen Hao finally believed that she had been given the opportunity to audition for Diao Chan. Although she had not even submitted an audition application, she still believed that she had been given the opportunity to audition.
Then, she went to Yuzhang with the Daqian subsidy. She went to the headquarters of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and met Director Wang Fulin, who was a famous scenic spot.
Then, she changed into Diao Chan's clothes, struck a few poses, did a few actions, and acted out a scene where she fell in love with Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo at the same time in the Fengyi Pavilion. Then, she went back to school in a daze.
Chen Hao thought that her dream journey had come to an end. She just went for a simple audition and did whatever she wanted after that. She did not expect to receive another call a week later. She had been confirmed to play the role of Diao Chan.
When the news was released, the circle was in an uproar. No one had expected that the role of Diao Chan would fall into the hands of a female student who had just entered the Central Academy of Drama last year.
This caused Chen Hao to be burned alive by the jealous gazes of his classmates in school. Then, there were all sorts of rumors that Chen Hao had hooked up with a rich man and that the rich man had spent money to buy the role for him.
Chen Hao was Boss Jia's lover and so on. At first glance, she looked like a little fairy. Anyway, Chen Hao's reputation had been ruined even before she started acting. It made Chen Hao want to give up the role and focus on her studies.
Fortunately, she did not do such a stupid thing in the end.
Later, Director Wang Fulin said in an interview that he had made the decision to cast Diao Chan. First of all, Chen Hao's age and image were completely suitable for Diao Chan.
Secondly, there were too many famous actresses who had called him. He could not afford to offend any of them, so he simply did not give the role to anyone. That way, he would not offend anyone.
After the interview, Chen Hao's life became a little better.
After joining the cast, Chen Hao plucked up the courage to ask Director Wang Fulin how he found her. She had not even submitted an audition application.
"It was Mr. Jia who recommended you!" When Wang Fulin said this, he looked at Chen Hao strangely. Why did this female student ask when she already knew the answer? Was she not Jia Yapeng's lover? Otherwise, why would Jia Yapeng specifically ask for her?
Although Wang Fulin was very dissatisfied with all the dregs in the circle, he would not actively resist. Anyway, to him, it was fine as long as it did not affect his filming.
Therefore, after inspecting Chen Hao, he found that Chen Hao's appearance was indeed suitable, but her acting and temperament were not enough. However, it was still not enough. She just needed to be trained and trained well. Back then, the crew of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms had learned and filmed the same way.
Therefore, Wang Fulin finally decided to cast Chen Hao. Otherwise, Chen Hao would not have had the chance to become Diao Chan. Did she really think that this role only depended on the person and nothing else?
