Playing games all night long is definitely not a good thing. For the sake of his own physical and mental state, Luo Quan only played until seven o'clock and went to bed this time. It was the first time in the past few days that he went to bed earlier.

The next day, the "New Edition of Chinese Mythology" she talked about last night ushered in a real peak of popularity.

The reason why I say it is true is that it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening when the hot search was posted last night. Many people were asleep at this time. Even if it was posted on the hot search, there were not as many people as there were during the day.

The hot search "Luo Quan talks about prehistoric times" is like a shot of chicken blood. It has always been on the hot search. As long as you open Weibo, you can see it at the first glance, and you don't have to pay attention to it.

When netizens learned that this was Luo Quan's background setting for a new movie that was about to be shot, they all marveled at her great imagination and serious work attitude.

A background setting can be written in tens of thousands of words. If this is expanded into a novel or a script, it will have to be a million words?

Comparing some of the so-called blockbusters in China, you can see that the gap is not too big.

"Speaking of which, Luo Quan is finally ready to make a blockbuster film?"

"How many billion are you planning to invest this time? Now less than 500 million is not enough to call yourself a big production."

"With Luo Bao's financial resources, he shouldn't cry about being poor, or risk all his wealth, right?"

"Hahahaha, I feel like all the special effects blockbusters nowadays like to do this. Either the director has bet all his wealth, or if the box office is lower than the box office, he will lose everything. If you shoot well, the box office will naturally not be low. If you shoot well, the box office will not be low. If it doesn’t work, it’s useless no matter how miserable it is.”

"Luo Quan shouldn't be miserable. He even arrogantly said that he had enough funds and could create special effects as he pleased."

"You're kidding, she's the boss of Unreal Studio. It's not her who needs special effects."

"I'm looking forward to the official announcement of the movie. I hope it will bring in a few more of my favorite stars."

………………

Generally speaking, this hot search will not hang for so long.

However, Luo Quan had just taken over Director He's mission, and Weibo probably also got the news, so various preferential treatments were directly arranged.

You have to strike while the iron is hot. Luo Quan saw that the heat was so high right now, so he posted on Weibo:

"Yes, there will be a magical epic film to start shooting in the second half of this year. This should be my first attempt at such a commercial masterpiece in China, and I am still very nervous.

In addition, this movie is the beginning of a series of movies, and there will be quite a few sequels and personal movies shot in the future, so we need a lot of excellent actors, regardless of age and gender, just have an actor's certificate. If you are interested, please send in your resume to audition. Well, the next rising star might be you. "

A mediocre official announcement, with almost no rhetoric or scenes. It just tells everyone that I am going to make a new movie. It is a big production, and there will be follow-up. If I come to shoot now, I may not be in it yet. If you are interested, please come to me. .

If it were at the beginning of the year, Luo Quan would probably not have paid much attention to what Luo Quan said.

After all, she had just offended a big shot in the film industry, and everyone was trying to avoid her, for fear of getting involved with her and being resented by the big shot.

So for the two movies she made in the spring, a bunch of third- and fourth-tier actors responded to the call and sent her their resumes.

Everyone knows what happened next. The box office of the two theater movies was more than 5 billion, from the movie to the director to the actors! It swept many awards at home and abroad, and directly promoted a third-tier green leaf actor to the Cannes Best Actor.

This is not turning stones into gold. It may be more appropriate to describe it as turning stones into gold.

At this time, people in the film industry discovered that Luo Quan seemed to be a big boss himself.

She doesn't need to be afraid of anyone, and it's not like she can't accomplish anything without someone's support.

Luo Quan himself is the backer, and following her around, even a little soup can get unimaginably rich rewards.

If you are lucky enough to become the male and female protagonist, it is not an exaggeration to say that your career will skyrocket.

Take Xiao Shan as an example. After filming "Manslaughter" and "Memories of Murder", he can only be regarded as one of the more famous among the third-tier actors.

Those who play supporting roles often perform well, but those who play leading roles simply cannot afford the box office.

After starring in these two movies, Xiao Shan immediately became a top player in the entertainment industry. Film appointments, endorsements, and variety show invitations were all packed in sacks, and the number of fans doubled several times.

Every time he appears on a hot search, he is telling people how much the experience of working with Luo Quan has been greatly improved. That is enough to make 99% of the stars in the entertainment industry grit their teeth with jealousy. degree of fragmentation.

After Xiao Pan, Luo Quan's latest work is "Crazy".

Although due to lack of skills, she gave up the director's position to others.

But as long as the script is written by her, then the drama will definitely not be bad.

And who knew that when Luo Quan was writing the script, he would write down the specific steps on how to shoot this scene in important plots, so as long as the director is not a stupid pig, it should be only a matter of time before "Crazy" becomes a hit drama.

As for the two main characters of the TV series, one is Zhang Yi and the other is Zhang Songwen. One of the two will definitely become popular due to "Hurry Up".

At present, most people on the Internet have guessed that it will be Zhang Yi. After all, he is the first male protagonist, and this drama is proof. The plot will definitely focus more on him.

Of course, the film industry does not pay attention to TV dramas all the time. From the perspective of the entertainment industry’s contempt chain, filmmakers are at the top.

Of course, in front of Luo Quan today, no one should be qualified to show off to her.

Once upon a time, they had an opportunity to win Best Actor at Cannes and Huabiao, but they failed to cherish it and regretted it only after it was taken away by others.

Now Luo Quan is going to make a movie again, although he has made it clear that it is a commercial masterpiece and not for winning awards.

However, China's three major film awards are not as biased against literary and commercial blockbusters as abroad.

Abroad, if you shoot a commercial blockbuster, you are basically saying goodbye to all kinds of awards, unless you shoot something very explosive and reach the level of establishing a sect.

For example, "Avatar", "Titanic", and "Lord of the Rings" can win many awards.

But if it doesn’t have this level of quality, then it probably won’t be a big deal, and at most it will get the best visual effects.

However, in China, there are not so many particularities. Even if your box office is high enough, you can still have some advantages in award evaluation.

Therefore, even if Luo Quan's "Prehistoric" series is destined to miss the international spotlight, as long as the box office is high enough, there should be no problem in winning a few domestic awards.

If you miss such a lottery ticket that is destined to win a prize, you will regret it for at least several years, so as long as it is available, everyone plans to give it a try.

There must be a lot of people who want to participate in the show this time, and the competition is very immediate, and there are so many big names, so the probability of being chosen by a less famous star is not high.

But if you don't give it a try, you have no chance.

So, within half an hour, Luo Quan's mailbox was filled with audition videos from all over the world.

I remember when spring started, it would be so difficult for her to cast a role in a movie. It was daytime and not a single A-list big name could be seen.

At this moment, all the top stars left, but now it was her turn to choose, and let these big stars have a taste of what it was like to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.

With this thought in mind, Luo Quan opened the email and started casting.

"Teacher Ni Xuejian... um... he was pretty good as Taoist Hongjun, but his voice was a little difficult to bear. Fortunately, when Taoist was preaching, it didn't need to be heard by the audience anyway, so it could be a bit blurry.

With the level of Teacher Ni Xuejian, there should be no problem in grasping the mentality of this sage among saints. "

"Wang Xiaoling, Tongtian Cult Leader should suit him very well. He is a handsome young man. His acting skills are better and he is more handsome when he has a cold and stern expression."

"Cheng Kun can play the role of Rahu, the ancestor of the devil. His feminine and handsome temperament is very suitable for playing this kind of devil. If you give him long hair, his temperament is not too overwhelming."

Luo Quan looked at these familiar celebrities and arranged roles for them one by one in his mind.

However, the cast members are all big stars who have been famous for a long time. Once the final decision is made, the salary will be very high.

The good news is that if you don’t choose Xiaoxianrou, the salary will probably not be as exaggerated as those previous popular blockbusters.

Therefore, Luo Quan is very bold in casting. As long as he is a good actor and fits the role, there is no need to consider the salary, he can just write down his name.

Anyway, no matter how high the final salary is, one person will not account for 60-70% of the filming budget.

At this moment, a phone call suddenly came.

Luo Quan picked it up and took a look and found that it was Director Jiang Wen calling.

"I haven't contacted you for a long time, Director Jiang, why are you calling?" Luo Quan asked knowingly, holding his cell phone.

"Luo Quan, you are so ungrateful. Why didn't you come to me when you wanted to make a blockbuster?" Jiang Wen brought a sense of humor to him as soon as he opened his mouth. This seems to be a talent of people in Beijing and Jinmen.

Listening to them talk is like listening to jokes, which is very interesting.

"Isn't this still casting? Since you mentioned it, Director Jiang, based on our friendship, we have to arrange a role for you." Luo Quan didn't have many acquaintances in the film industry, Jiang Wen was one of them.

Although the two have not collaborated yet, they have met on many occasions and communicated frequently, which seems to be a close friendship.

Therefore, Luo Quan is still very willing to let Director Jiang star in his movie. Even though Jiang Wen is a director, his acting skills are definitely at the level of a movie actor.

"I watched this theme of yours twice last night. It was so interesting. If you hadn't already planned to shoot it, I would have wanted to shoot one!" Jiang Wen's voice was as excited as thunder, "The Hongjun Taoist has been played by someone. ? I just like this character."

"Oh, what a coincidence. This role has been given to Teacher Ni Xuejian. How about you talk to him?" Luo Quan said regretfully.

"Teacher Ni? Let's forget it." As a junior, Jiang Wen didn't dare to take food from the mouth of this famous senior.

"Director Jiang, I have a role that suits you very well, and that is Jiang Ziya in "The Tribulation of the Gods." Luo Quan had a sudden idea and arranged such a role for the silent Jiang Wen.

"Jiang Ziya, is this character a little too serious?" Jiang Wen frowned.

He has a casual personality and doesn't like such a rigid role.

He actually likes characters like Monkey King. It would be better if he could curse a few times in the play.

"The setting is the setting, but you can change the character yourself. As long as Jiang Ziya can figure out all the strategies and always find a way to solve the situation in desperate situations, it will be fine.

As for whether it is a serious Jiang Ziya or a funny and humorous Jiang Ziya, there is actually not much difference. Besides, this is a commercial blockbuster, and the latter version should be more in line with public tastes.

After all, Jiang Ziya has a lot of roles in Fengshen Calamity. Like the characters Nezha, Yang Jian, and Ji Fa, they all have a lot of roles. "

"Okay, then you can send me the script of the Fengshen unit and let me study it carefully." Jiang Wen did not hesitate for too long and took the role.

As a director, Jiang Wen will participate in the director's work to a considerable extent when he is an actor.

Therefore, the movies in which he participated also have a strong Jiang style flavor.

And after the script was taken away from him this time, he didn't know what it would be like in the end.

But what is certain is that he will never change just Jiang Ziya's lines.

"By the way, please help me ask Mr. He Youhe. If he is free next year, I have a position for Shen Gongbao here. Let's see if he is interested.

After playing comedy characters for so many years, Uncle He seems to have no serious villain other than a night party. "After Luo Quan sent out the script, he asked Jiang Wen for a favor.

"He really hasn't had any movies to shoot recently. Let me ask you about it, but there's no guarantee that he can take it." Jiang Wen didn't finish his words.

Although he has a close relationship with He You, He You has rarely made movies recently and is a bit interested in taking a break. Unless he encounters a very good movie or needs to repay a major favor, there is a high probability that he will not be hired.

Jiang Wen is interested in the theme of prehistoric times, but Zhen Luo is probably not as good as Farewell My Concubine in terms of plot depth.

There was no personal relationship between Luo Quan and He You, so although Jiang Wen accepted the job, he knew in his heart that it probably wouldn't work.

Luo Quan actually knows that, but you have to give everything a try, just in case it works.

After chatting with Jiang Wen, Luo Quan continued to cast actors for the first part of The Wilderness.

This time the funds are sufficient, and it will have a blockbuster effect.

Therefore, Luo Quan's casting is based on both fame and acting skills.

However, after he selected a large number of roles, there were some interruptions when notifying these stars.

She can choose so many actors to perform on the same stage, but these actors may not be willing to star in a play with certain people.
