Post-shadow Development Plan

But Zhi didn't have time to worry about the result, because Qiye had already started to formally screen the actors.Even his assistant started to get busy, just sorting out the materials of the submitted actors had already made him dizzy with busy work.

At this time, the selection of actors for "Goblin Slayer" was not going well, although the film with a US$6000 million production cost was indeed the first in Japan.

But although it can be said to be a big production in the United States, there is still a certain gap compared with those top-budget films.Plus Jiufeng is a real outsider to Hollywood.

The combination of these various reasons made it very difficult for Jiufeng Ziyuan to arrange the work of casting directors in the United States.

It's not that no one came to audition, but those Hollywood people looked down on this Japanese movie at all, and those managers kept talking about the high film salary and box office share. The contemptuous attitude made Jiufeng Shion and Nanaya extremely annoyed.

"Slint (Jiufeng's casting director in the United States) is such a waste!"

Jiufeng Ziyuan directly threw the materials in her hand, and she said loudly to Iioka, "Tell him, just leave after work today! I will treat him as an employee who has never been used!"

"Jiufeng's influence in Hollywood is really too low."

Qiye could understand Jiufeng Ziyuan's anger, and to be honest, he thought this matter was too simple before.

In fact, if the operation is carried out through Sony-Columbia, the current situation may not be so bad.

Although the development in the past two years has been very unsatisfactory, Columbia is still worthy of the name as one of the top six in Hollywood. Compared with Jiufeng, an outsider, the situation is much better.

However, due to the conflict between Jiufeng and Sony, it is probably impossible to find Columbia as an option.

[Sure enough, apart from a certain corn head, wanting Sony to cooperate with Lao Ren is simply wishful thinking.So, did Ohne-chan even count on this?Knowing that Jiufeng's casting would not go well, that's why he called him in advance to make preparations.Sure enough, it is not easy for a woman to become the top leader. 】

Although Ou Nei-chan's name is not very reliable, Qiye still admires the vision of the female president of the male idol agency.At the very least, the opportunity to come to find myself through the back door was just right.He and Jiufeng, who were in difficulty in casting, had to carefully consider her suggestion.

"So, Director Kiryu, do you have any good news here? If not, maybe I will let you feel the water temperature of Tokyo Bay in advance~"

After losing her temper, Jiufeng Ziyuan returned to her original appearance as a decent young lady, but what she said didn't look like the words of a well-mannered young lady.

[You are already a threat!Right? ! 】

Qiye didn't want to get too entangled in the topic of Tokyo Bay, so he suggested with a normal expression: "That's right, I have a suggestion about actors."

"Say."

"We can use European and American actors in Japan to act as the main actors of our movies." Nanaya suggested, "Not only will the actors' remuneration be cheaper, but it will also not create too deep a gap with European and American audiences."

Jiufeng Ziyuan didn't agree immediately, instead she put her chin on both hands and put on a standard "Ikari Commander's contemplation" posture: "What good did that old woman from the J family do to you? Let you come to my place to speak for her? I But I get it, that old woman recently formed a European and American idol group, and she is looking for resources for them everywhere."

[What kind of tacit understanding do you gangsters have with each other!Why do you know everything about me? ! 】(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Qiye maintained a stiff smile on his face, but his heart was filled with all sorts of upsets.After finally calming down, he opened his mouth and said, "Chairman Jiufeng and President Ou... Xingkong know each other?"

Ziyuan raised her eyebrows: "Is it interesting to inquire about personal privacy? Or is it that you, Director Kiryu, are the paparazzi of the gossip newspaper?"

"When I didn't say anything."

With a little understanding in his heart, Qiye didn't plan to delve into it further, but he still didn't plan to change the matter of actors.

"But in this way, we can indeed save a lot of money. After all, those people in Hollywood are all vampires. As long as there is no big problem with the distributor, our movies will not be hindered too much. And not Just the idols of the J family, those foreign actors in Japan can be the objects we are looking for."

There are still many foreign actors in Japan. After all, there are still some foreign characters in some TV dramas and movies, but most of these actors are not very good.After all, these foreign actors are essentially no different from special actors such as dwarves, and they are all special tool actors.

In fact, not only in Japan, it is very common for foreign actors to mix well in various countries. After all, it is normal for the local entertainment industry to be xenophobic, unless it is a big star with a certain reputation in the world. It will be welcomed by the locals, otherwise it will basically stay where it is cool.

What Qiye thought of was these Europeans and Americans who were making a living in the Japanese entertainment industry. These people were not famous, and basically they were very easy to deal with.

As for the fact that the idol of Ou Nei-chan, who was newly recognized by Qiye, was just incidental, although the elder sister was indeed a bit too much when she came to the door, but the conditions she put forward afterwards were very cost-effective.Not only is there no big mouth in terms of remuneration, it is only quoted according to the remuneration of ordinary actors, and even said that it will actively cooperate with the crew to promote the film at its own expense.

Although the focus of the J family's publicity will definitely be its own actors, it can also bear a lot of publicity costs.After all, for a movie with a production cost of 6000 million US dollars, according to the current Hollywood publicity model, the global publicity and distribution costs will be at least 3000 million US dollars, which can save a little bit.

It can be said that the conditions provided by the J family are very good, and there is a high possibility that the J family will repay the money for this project alone.

Qiye believes that the elder sister is so enthusiastic, and what she values ​​must be the influence brought by "Goblin Slayer" and the benefits she can get from her own actors in the future.But since my elder sister wants to bring her own dry food to join, and doesn't want the follow-up profit sharing of the film, why not let her join?

Of course, my elder sister still resents the setting of the hero not showing his face, but after understanding Qiye's tough attitude towards the setting of the movie, she can only give up.

"What about the other main actors besides the male lead? Especially the role of Priestess, it can be said that the focus of the whole movie is on her. You can't just find such an actor, right?"

"I have a proposal here." Qiye said and took out an actor's resume and handed it over, "Luvia Celenta Edelfelt, this young lady from Northern Europe can play the role of priestess , she is currently working as a girl idol in the Japanese group Trier, so she can be regarded as someone in the entertainment industry."

"Hey, Director Kiryu." Jiufeng Ziyuan showed a trace of anger on his face, "It's the first time I've seen a person who can be so talented without avoiding marriage. You're planning to use my money to mess with yourself Is it a related account?!"

Regarding Jiufeng Ziyuan's ridicule, Qiye seemed to have heard nothing: "I just proposed the most suitable candidate."

Qiye knew very well that he couldn't quibble at such a time. Once he did, his rating in the chairman's mind would drop.

Although Qiye estimated that his score in the other party's mind might have dropped below 0 points.

But it doesn't matter, Qiye knows one thing - that is, although the two suggestions he put forward do have the taste of "respecting the virtuous but not avoiding relatives", they are also very suitable for the current situation of the "Goblin Slayer" project team, and belong to the most Excellent solution.

After all, I was just proposing an actor candidate, and those people in Hollywood were just going to poach corners with hoes.

Jiufeng Ziyuan and Qiye stared at each other for 5 minutes, but in the end she said in an unwilling voice: "An audition will be held recently to audition for the main characters. Listen, I will go to the scene to check, if you If the proposed person is not suitable, I will directly reject it!"

Agreeing to Qiye's suggestion was something Jiufeng Ziyuan had no choice, because the young director's suggestion was indeed the most beneficial choice for this film project.

But because of this, Jiufeng Ziyuan hated herself even more for having to admit this fact.

The reason is simple, Jiufeng Ziyuan found that Kiryu Nanaya had too much dominance in this project, so big that Jiufeng Ziyuan, the investor, basically couldn't do anything except take money and help find people in the production of the movie.

It's not that Jiufeng Ziyuan is worried that Qiye will take the money and run away, but that Qiye will do as he pleases on this project.Why does Hollywood implement a producer-centered system instead of a director-centered system? The fear is that directors will mess around.

Don't talk about past achievements. For film directors, past achievements are just a weight to increase the probability of success in their next film. There should not be too many examples of successful directors overturning in a certain work.

Director Sergio Leone, who directed "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," didn't fall on his last work "Once Upon a Time in America"!
