Chapter 943 The Four Heavenly Kings
Little steel cannon Chen Kaige and the others envied Zhang Yimou for being able to direct a blockbuster film like The Immortal Qin Empire, but Wang Jing was not envious.
Not only was he not envious, he felt guilty when he saw the cast of The Immortal Qin Empire and the amount of investment.
For New World, he had the confidence to go straight to it, and he was fully confident in both speed and quality.
But he didn't have the confidence to shoot The Immortal Qin Empire.
If he accepted this job, he estimated that he would lose weight.
Or New World is better, it is very easy to shoot.
Yue Guan is also confident that Wang Jing can make New World well, but he is not even familiar with the actors, so it is difficult to get into the situation directly, so he suggested: Brother Jing, call all the actors and let me get to know them, and then we will make a script Let's read around.
The script of New World is so simple, what is there to read? Wang Jing said.
Even so, he still called the actors over.
Although he has finished filming a lot of scenes, Yue Guan is the protagonist of New World after all, and Yue Guan and most of the actors have rival scenes.
Without Yueguan, none of these scenes could be filmed.
So Yueguan must get acquainted with these actors.
Most of them are indeed acquaintances.
And the cast quite surprised him.
Brother Jing, how much favor do you owe to gather such a big table?
Wang Jing spread his hands: They are all cameo, and most of them are not here for me, they are here for you. If you were not the leading role, they would not come to guest.
It is said to be a cameo, but in fact they are all important roles.
The story line of New World is that the chairman of the Kinmen Group and the violent organization died in a car accident in the tiger faction leader Shi Dong. Around the title of chairman, Ding Qing, the third person under the Kinmen Group, and Li Zhongjiu, the executive director of the fourth person, launched a fierce battle. fight. At the same time, Jingfang put forward the New World plan, trying to support Zhang Shouji, the number two figure of the Golden Gate Group, to the top position, because Zhang Shouji has been ostracized in the Golden Gate Group, and if he takes the position, he will definitely be Jingfang's puppet.
In the script of New World, Jingfang never thought of completely eradicating the Jinmen Group from the beginning to the end, but just wanted to turn the Jinmen Group into Jingfang's Jinmen Group.
The protagonist, Li Zicheng, is Ding Qing's right-hand man and Jing Fang's undercover agent. If Jing Fang wanted to support Zhang Shouji in his position, of course Li Zicheng's help was indispensable.
Therefore, the plot line of New World will continue to develop.
The story is probably the main line of the plot, so Ding Qing, Li Zhongjiu, Zhang Shouji, and the protagonist Li Zicheng's boss, Section Chief Jiang, are all characters that cannot be avoided. Their existence and direction determine the direction of the plot.
Among these four people, Ding Qing's candidate is the most important, so Yue Guan only made suggestions for Ding Qing's candidate, and the other three actors who are a little bit better in Yue Guan's eyes can actually play, so he didn't let go. In my heart, let Wang Jing choose by himself.
Then Wang Jing chose a combination of Wang Zha.
Chief Jiang: Guo Tianwang;
Li Zhongjiu; Liu Tianwang;
Zhang Shouji: Li Tianwang.
When Yue Guan saw these three people in the New World crew, he was a little confused.
Wang Jing, a fat man, really does great things in a silent voice.
The four characters are all supporting roles, and the roles are not considered extravagant, yet Wang Jing was able to draw them in.
It is estimated that what Wang Jing said is also true, and his own face is indeed great.
If only Wang Jing had the face of himself, he would be able to pull one person to the limit if he died.
They are all seniors, of course Yueguan wants to take the initiative to greet them.
Brother Cheng, Brother Hua, and Brother Ming, I can't believe I can see the three of you in this crew at the same time. Yue Guan said the truth: If Teacher Xueyou is here, it will be the four heavenly kings on the same stage gone.
Wang Jing added: I gave the theme song of New World to Xueyou.
What can Yue Guan say?
He could only give Wang Jing a thumbs up: Brother Jing, you are really awesome, you did this big thing without making a sound. With such a luxurious lineup, the last time it appeared was Infernal Affairs Time.
It is indeed Infernal Affairs. Liu Tianwang was very approachable, and took the initiative to interface: Speaking of which, New World can be regarded as a reprint of Infernal Affairs. This is also a kind of fate.
Indeed, it's a great fate. Yue Guan was of course very pleasantly surprised.
There is one thing to say, these three roles are actually not worthy of the status of these three heavenly kings.
They must have come to repay Wang Jing's favor, or they wanted Yue Guan to owe them a favor.
This is how relationships in the entertainment industry are. I carried a sedan chair for you once, and the next time I have something to ask you, you can't refuse, otherwise your reputation will be ruined if it spreads.
However, Yue Guan estimated that the three heavenly kings would not allow him to carry the sedan chair for them, and most likely they came for the resources of Miracle Company.
If he sticks to the three-acre land in Xiangcheng, the king of heaven can't make much money, so he still has to move closer to the Central Plains.
They have moved closer to the big directors in the Central Plains before.
Times have changed now, and the entertainment industry in the Central Plains has become Yueguan. Naturally, they want to come to Yueguan to visit the pier.
In this regard, Yueguan expressed his welcome with both hands, and he would not refuse anyone who came.
After all, it is also a memory of an era. As long as there is no problem with his position, Yueguan will of course want to make friends.
Besides, with the three of them joining, for New World, the box office can basically be said to be stable.
When it comes to the box office, even Wang Jing is somewhat ambitious: With the appeal of the three heavenly kings and Yueguan, if the box office of New World can't break one billion, I will be embarrassed to see you in the future.
Yue Guan glanced at the three heavenly kings, and then smiled and said: Cheng Ge Hua and Ming are worth 300 million at the box office alone, and New World is sure to be stable at 1 billion.
The quality of New World is clear to Yue Guan.
Yue Guan also knew Wang Jing's ability to make gangster movies.
Coupled with a fully upgraded lineup, Yueguan's box office appeal, and the feelings of the three kings, as long as New World does not collide head-on with blockbusters like The Immortal Qin Empire, it will be the king in any schedule.
Looking at Wang Jing's shooting speed, Wang Jing will most likely put New World in next year's Spring Festival.
Brother Jing, if word of the lineup of our movie gets out, I feel like it will scare away a lot of movies that want to be scheduled for next year's Spring Festival.
We are old, and if we want to carry the box office, we have to rely on Mr. Yue. Li Tianwang said modestly.
Of course, this is actually true...
Liu Tianwang and Guo Tianwang may not be getting old yet, but Li Tianwang is obviously getting old.
But it doesn't matter.
What matters is that the three of them fit together.
Yue Guan knew it with his ass, Wang Jing would definitely be able to stir up his feelings to the sky.
