Chapter 273: Sad Yang Mi

Seeing Hu Jun, who was a bit frustrated because of the audition failure, join the crew, Big Beard Zhang comforted him on his lips, but he was very happy in his heart. His *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* crew could be shot according to the plan as scheduled.

With the experience of the previous two Jin Yong plays, he is still very confident in this *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, striving for excellence in all aspects of this play, real scene shooting, fighting scenes in place, clothing and makeup, careful performance, and actors with their own characteristics.

Especially in the choice of actors, he feels that he has done a very good job. Not only Hu Jun, but thinking of Shu Chang who was picked by Wu Yuchen when Wu Yuchen called, Big Beard had an impulse to change Shu Chang's role, it is too talented to let her play Tianshan Tonglao.

Wang Yuyan? Big Beard shook his head. This role has been promised to Liu Yifei. The little girl not only has a background, but her image and temperament are indeed quite suitable, otherwise he would not easily give such an important role to others. In fact, he originally wanted to find Yan Danchen to play Wang Yuyan, but later a Liu Yifei was inserted to take away this role.

In fact, Shu Chang's age is very suitable for playing the clever and cute Zhong Ling, but if she is allowed to play Zhong Ling, who should be found for the role of Tianshan Tonglao? This role is not so easy to play. Those with acting skills are not suitable for age, and those who are young have no acting skills. It is not easy to find a Shu Chang.

Big Beard weighed it left and right, but still didn't change Shu Chang's role. This role still has a lot of scenes, and acting well will leave a deep impression on the audience. However, he thought that Shu Chang had entered Wu Yuchen's movie, and I am afraid that she would not lack his popularity. When promoting, maybe he would have to rub it.

Well, at that time, he can talk about the story of his crew actors being attracted by Wu Yuchen and making him worried for publicity. The audience must love to hear it!

This casting Big Beard caused a lot of trouble, and the role of Duan Yu even caused an online vote. Lu Yi, Huang Haibing, and Ren Quan were all high-vote candidates on the Internet, and netizens were also arguing about this role. This also made Big Beard show a proud smile. This is his usual hype method.

In fact, he had already decided on the candidate, Qiao Zhenyu in F4, but he would only announce it to the outside world when the crew started shooting. With F4's popularity in the two shores and three places, I think it will satisfy most people, and Qiao Zhenyu's appearance and temperament are quite consistent with Duan Yu.

As for Jimmy Lin who took the initiative to contact him, he is not without consideration. He became popular again after *The Legendary Siblings*. But the investor of his *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* is Miracle Pictures, so he naturally prioritizes the use of other people's actors. Where can you Jimmy Lin compete? Not to mention that F4's appeal is not worse than yours Jimmy Lin.

Big Beard is still working hard to do various hype and publicity for *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, and has already hyped Wang Yuyan to the stick country star, while Wu Yuchen doesn't have this mind at all. At his current level, he doesn't need any publicity hype at all.

A large crowd of media surrounded the film crew here, wanting to fish for some news about *The Boy in the Striped Pajamas*, but he basically hadn't paid them much mind. However, the reporters were tireless, recording and reporting on every actor who entered or exited, and even crowding in to interview them about their audition experiences.

At this time, Wu Yuchen is busy interviewing another important role. Before Hearing Gong Li asked him about the dramatic conflict and tension, in fact, in this movie, the most intuitive manifestation of the evil side is not the protagonist's father, but the role of another young officer. That is, the young officer liked by the sister, his existence is also increasing the tension and conflict of the whole movie.

In the original movie, its setting is a German SS soldier, because his father fled to Switzerland and was particularly vicious to the Jews. Here it is naturally set as a Japanese, a soldier full of Japanese militarism, who talks about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere on one side, and despises the Chinese as inferior races on the other, a fanatic.

This role also has several requirements: young, handsome, tough, and able to show the cruel and cruel side of the character.

Regarding this role, there are also many people who came to audition. Male actors under 30 who thought they met the conditions all signed up, but in the end, only a few people walked to Wu Yuchen for an interview, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Daniel Wu, Huang Huang Xiao Ming.

Liu Ye and Daniel Wu both have advantages in appearance, and their height and figure are relatively burly. But the first one eliminated by Wu Yuchen was Liu Ye...

Don't look at this guy as a 186 tall man, but in fact, his acting path and style since his debut have always been melancholy youth and silly children. Whether it is *Classic Again*, *Postmen in the Mountains*, or *Lan Yu*, it is actually this route. It is really a bit short of meaning for the shaping of this kind of vicious villain.

Subsequently, he excluded Chen Kun, not because his acting skills were not good, but like Wang Zhiwen, he was thin, and the overall style was a bit feminine. The temperament was a bit different from what Wu Yuchen wanted. It feels that it is very suitable for Chen Kun and Wang Zhiwen to play spies, but soldiers seem to be a bit short of meaning.

Finally, Wu Yuchen is making a choice between Daniel Wu and Huang Huang Xiao Ming.

To be honest, Daniel Wu's appearance conditions are impeccable. His appearance, height, and body shape are all very suitable for this role. Wu Yuchen doesn't doubt his acting skills...

However, the surprise Huang Huang Xiao Ming gave him this time is really not small. It feels like I don't know if this kid is enlightened. The audition performance of playing a Japanese officer is very good. And because of the F4 training, this guy's body is now very good, and his temperament is also tough. Acting as an officer can support it.

This made Wu Yuchen think of the Japanese soldier Takeda played by Huang Huang Xiao Ming in *The Message* in his past life, which also played very well, and can be considered one of his acting peaks.

But in the end, what really made Wu Yuchen decide was Huang Huang Xiao Ming's fluent Japanese.

"Huang Xiao Ming, when did you learn Japanese?"

Listening to Wu Yuchen's question, Huang Huang Xiao Ming immediately replied: "Wu Dao, because F4 often goes to Japan for activities, the company hired Japanese teachers for us two years ago. I learned more, and I didn't expect to use it this time!"

*Meteor Garden* itself is adapted from the Japanese manga *Boys Over Flowers*, so the TV series has a lot of influence there, and also gave birth to many fans and support clubs of F4, naturally often interacting.

Wu Yuchen didn't expect that letting Huang Huang Xiao Ming debut in F4 would add a lot of talents to him.

Subsequently, he asked jokingly: "Then if you play this role, your Japanese fans may have a lot of fans falling."

Huang Huang Xiao Ming immediately expressed his position: "That's different! I can't forget history and forget the pain because of my current star status! Even if my Japanese fans run away, I want to play this role!"

Wu Yuchen nodded with a smile: "It's good that you have this consciousness! Okay, go back and prepare well, arrange the itinerary, and follow the crew for the next two months."

Huang Huang Xiao Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Wu Yuchen: "Thank you Wu Dao, thank you Teacher Wu!"

From the moment he entered school, he wanted to act in Wu Yuchen's movie. Walking to today, he finally realized this wish, and finally made him feel that he had been recognized on the path of an actor. How could he not be happy?

Wu Yuchen also smiled looking at Huang Huang Xiao Ming's back as he left. With Huang Huang Xiao Ming's finalization, basically important roles were decided. For the father's role, he finally chose Chen Baoguo. He gave the actors 5 days, and five days later the crew held the opening ceremony.

"Wu Yuchen's new play lineup is decided! Hearing Gong Li and Chen Baoguo lead the starring!"

Looking at the name of Shu Chang in the list exposed in the newspaper, Yang Mi pouted her lips.

Yang Mi has had acting experience since she was a child, and can be considered a little child star, so she has always had a star dream in her heart. She also signed up for the audition for *The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas* this time, but she didn't even pass the audition, saying that she was overage, which made Yang Mi a bit depressed.

Also a child star debut, she feels that she is not worse than Shu Chang. If she were two years younger, maybe she could be selected!

What a pity, what a pity, she Yang Xiaomi was born two years early!

In the sigh, Yang Mi looked at another piece of news, and suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue:

"Little Heavenly King Nicholas Tse announces his withdrawal from the entertainment industry!"

"Ah! My Brother Feng!" Yang Mi couldn't help but wail. Nicholas Tse is her favorite star, and she is fascinated by him.

One thing has to be admitted, Nicholas Tse's appearance at this time is really playable, plus the works specially created for him by Emperor make him play cool in various ways, so he has many fans in the two shores and three places, and was also promoted as a Chinese little heavenly king.

Many teenagers chase stars by looking at faces, especially girls. If you put Zhou Zhou Jielun and Nicholas Tse together, basically all of them choose Nicholas Tse. During this period, Zhou Zhou Jielun's male fan ratio is quite high.

Yang Mi is Nicholas Tse's brain-dead fan. Girls chasing stars are like this, and they won't care about his car accidents or finding people to top the bag.

In fact, Nicholas Tse's car accident itself hit the guardrail and flower bed on the side of the road, and there was nothing major, at most doing some community service work. But Nicholas Tse actually found Emperor's driver to top the bag and plead guilty for him, and it was found out. This made the whole city full of wind and rain, and all parties were spraying him. The little heavenly king who couldn't withstand the pressure could only announce his withdrawal from the entertainment industry to calm the public anger.

The little heavenly king withdrew from the entertainment industry, which also led to reports in the mainland, and many people ran to interview Faye Wong, which led the public to eat melons.

In fact, this is a normal operation in Hong Kong. After the limelight passes next year, Nicholas Tse will make a comeback. However, Yang Mi at this time doesn't know, looking at her idol withdrawing from the entertainment industry, she is really sad.

Just at this time, the phone at home rang.

"Mimi, someone is looking for you!"

Yang Mi had a tearful look, walked over and picked up the phone: "Hello..."

After listening to a few sentences, the girl's crying face just now appeared with surprise: "Really? No problem, no problem, I will go on time!"

Looking at her daughter jumping and jumping after answering the phone, Yang's father couldn't help asking: "Mimi, what's the matter?"

"Dad, your daughter is going to be a big star!"

"What are you going to act in again?" Yang's father was not surprised that his daughter went out to shoot film and television dramas. After all, she had acted in a lot since she was a child.

Yang Mi waved her hand and raised her chin: "No, no, this time I am going to sign a contract with Miracle Pictures! It is the Miracle Pictures that shot *Brotherhood of Blades*, Wu Yuchen's company, I will be their signed artist in the future!"

"Sign a contract?" Yang's father was really surprised this time.

At this time, Yang's mother also asked: "Signed artist? You don't go to school anymore?"

"Go! It's not that you can't go to school after signing, just go to school and shoot movies! I tell you, this Miracle Pictures is the most powerful company in China now, many people want to enter but can't!" Yang Mi was as proud as a little fox with a tail up at this time.

However, she was not wrong. Today's Miracle Pictures is undoubtedly the leading company in the film and television circle in China, unmatched in the entertainment industry. What Huayi is not enough to look at in front of it.

Now the actors and artists in the entertainment industry are squeezing their heads to join Miracle Pictures, and the related projects, whether it is movies or TV series, are also quite fierce in the industry.

Of course, this industry person does not only refer to actors, but also includes many behind-the-scenes personnel. Miracle Pictures has very generous treatment for internal personnel such as screenwriters, directors, and producers, and has established a set of reasonable incentive systems. Good works can harvest returns, and there will be no situation where a project makes a lot of money, but the original creator gets nothing. This naturally plays a benchmark role for the entire entertainment industry.

Not only the original team dividend system, but also requirements such as production costs. For example, in film and television dramas, the actor's salary share shall not exceed 40% of the total production cost, and the main actor's salary shall not exceed 70% of the total actor's salary, etc.

This is naturally a system established by Wu Yuchen himself. He knows the importance of behind-the-scenes creators. The Chinese film and television circle will not lack actors ten years later. What is lacking is actually good creators. And the degree of care in other aspects such as clothing, makeup, and props also directly determines the quality of a work. In fact, the audience's perception of many works depends on details.

Taking advantage of the fact that the treatment of actors is not high now, build this system and put the rules of dividing the cake on the table, which can be considered as setting a standard for the Chinese entertainment industry that has just begun to develop.

Yang's father and Yang's mother looked at each other, but they didn't look as happy as Yang Mi.

Yang's mother said: "You child, why didn't you discuss such a big thing with us? Is it that you don't intend to say it if we don't ask?"

Her daughter has had her own ideas since she was a child, which makes the couple sometimes happy and sometimes worried.

"Oh, Mom! I am talking to you now~" Yang Mi hurriedly began to act like a spoiled child to her parents.

Subsequently, the family of three started a comprehensive discussion on Yang Mi's signing... ===== CHAPTER 274 =====
