Chapter 477: The masterpiece will definitely come out when it is time
On June 2003, 6, the Shanghai International Film Festival, which attracted the attention of countless media, officially came to an end. In addition to winning the Best Picture and Best Actor awards, the crew of Parasite also won the other important awards, which were basically allocated to the projects that failed in this year's Cannes.

However, Huang Yimei still won the Best Supporting Actress award, which was the first time she won an award.

At midnight on the 14th after the film festival, Parasite was released, and it was screened jointly in China and South Korea, which happened to be on a weekend. Thanks to the hype of being nominated and winning awards at Cannes, as well as the popularity and reputation of Huang Jianzhi, Huang Zhenhua, and Huang Yimei's family, the film-watching craze exploded in its first weekend.

You can't expect Parasite to reach the level of special effects as The Wandering Earth, but its first weekend is still worth looking forward to.

It was under such a hot trend that on the morning of the 14th, in a guest room of a hotel that was temporarily used as an interview room, Wang Chengguang took several photos of the actress who came to interview Mr. Zombie in a Western-style dress, mainly the makeup photos for her first outing.

He nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I have that feeling. If you are sure to play the leading female role, your first film salary will be 20, and the subsequent contracts will also increase according to the market price."

The actress who plays Tingting is called Feng Yue. She is in her 20s and almost 20, but her face is really fresh and looks like she is in her early s. After putting on a Republic of China-style dress, she looks quite comedic when standing next to Lao Fan and Wencai.

This was also a scene with Lao Fan.

Feng Yue was pleasantly surprised when hearing these words. "Director, can I really participate in the show? The pay is so high. Thank you Director Wang. I will definitely work hard."

Wang Chengguang nodded, "Okay, you are an undergraduate from Tsinghua University and a graduate student from Peking University, and your stepfather is also a director, so I won't arrange any special training for you. If you study more on your own, you may be able to keep up with the pace."

The Feng Yue in front of us still has a certain aura, but her stepfather, the director, is a little hard to describe. When he was young, he fell in love with a more bohemian girl, Zhou Rong, and waited until she got divorced in middle age before catching up with her.

Of course, Wang Chengguang would not comment much on other people’s love affairs.

Feng Yue's appearance here was not due to Wang Chengguang's active search. It was because the Mr. Zombie crew had not officially held an open audition to recruit a female lead. During the dinner, he privately complained to Mr. Han and Mr. Guo that he hadn't found anyone that suited his taste.

Huang Yimei's schedule is not very tight either.

Well-informed insiders began sending actresses information files, photos, etc., and a temporary selection was organized with the insiders aware of the situation.

Feng Yue attended the Shanghai International Film Festival with her stepfather Cai Xiaoguang and mother Zhou Rong. Being an audience member is also a form of participation. She was recommended by Director Cai.

Director Cai filmed a TV series called "Our Generation" two years ago. It was pretty good and had good ratings after it was released. He is a senior with some experience in the TV industry.

Feng Yue nodded repeatedly, "Director, I will work hard and not hold the crew back."

Wang Chengguang smiled and waved his hand, "Go get a script and study it. If you can't keep up, you still need special training."

Mr. Zombie is about to start filming, and the crew will move to the photography base here in Shanghu. It is an antique building complex built in the 90s with the cultural background of the Republic of China, and many film and television works from the Republic of China era have been shot here.

After Feng Yue left, Nancy, who was interviewing with him, smiled and said, "This girl is a top student and quite smart. If we choose her, will we stop the other interviews?"

Wang Chengguang thought for a moment and said, "You can turn it on anytime."

…………

In the lobby on the first floor of a hotel, when the young and beautiful Feng Yue walked out of the elevator, Zhou Rong and Cai Xiaoguang, who had been waiting here, hurried over to greet her. Zhou Rong looked nervous and expectant, "How was your interview? Yueyue, did you catch Director Wang's eye?"

Cai Xiaoguang was also very excited. "Yueyue, you have been smart since you were young. This time, the news that there is a lack of female lead actors is just spreading in the circle, and only we can be so close to them."

"If this really works, your life will be transformed!"

Both of them were very happy and looking forward to it, mainly because they noticed Feng Yue's expression. They were not fools and could read her expression.

Feng Yue excitedly grabbed a script and hugged Zhou Rong, "Director Wang gave me a chance, I got a copy of the script, mom, I really made it, then I'm going to resign first."

"Uncle Cai, I'm just worried that my acting skills won't be able to keep up in such a short time. You have to help me with more training. Director Wang also said that I can get special training if I can't keep up, but if I can work hard, I still want to fight for my reputation."

She followed the two of them to the film festival and had a proper job as a branch manager at Jichun of Luo Group.

I was curious about the quality of Parasite, which won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. I watched it during the screening and it is indeed a wonderful blockbuster. How could I have seized the new opportunity and entered the film and television industry as a leading actress?
She also wants to seize this opportunity!

After Feng Yue graduated from Tsinghua University and Peking University, she went to work for Luo Group not because Luo Group was so prestigious, but because her childhood sweetheart Zhou Nan died unexpectedly in the early 90s.

Zhou Nan was the original heir to the Luo Group, so he looked at Luo differently.

But after working for a few years, she was getting older and older. She had completely gotten over her failed relationship that ended young. She had let go of her obsession with Zhou Nan and Luo and was looking to change her environment and start a new life.

She was so happy to have this wonderful opportunity.

Cai Xiaoguang laughed, "That's no problem. As long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you with all my heart. After all, you are your mother's child, so you must have her spirit and ability."

Zhou Rong couldn't stop laughing because of the compliments.

Feng Yue looked at her mother in silence and disdain. She felt quite depressed. She thought her stepfather was mentally ill, and her mother was very smart? From Feng Yue's simple concept, she wanted to complain that her mother was poisonous.

She poisoned her uncle severely, bringing him a lot of life pressure and hardship, and also poisoned her stepfather severely.

Comparing her mother's love life, Feng Yue felt sorry for herself.

Ten seconds later, as she walked out holding the script, she became curious again, "I heard that the other creative team selected by Director Wang includes not only high school students who are in their graduating season, but also extras who have been supporting actors for many years, real thieves, former robbers, etc."

"Director Wang's special training is too amazing, isn't it? Can this be trained to become a main creative team?"

When she received the script, she found out some things. Not to mention the identities of Uncle Li, Xiao Ye, Lao Fan and others, she also learned that Wencai, who played an important supporting male role, was a migrant worker in his early 20s.

Feng Yue can be considered a second-generation insider, and has learned a lot from Cai Xiaoguang.

This way of assembling a crew is amazing!
Zhou Rong was curious. "Yes, although Director Wang's talent is beyond doubt, from Train to Busan to Parasite, they are all his scripts, and he explores and criticizes various human nature propositions in a very profound way, which is enough for students to open a topic for debate and research."

"But since his debut, this casting method is so unique. Yueyue got a chance to have an informal interview this time, which can be considered the most normal casting."

Zhou Rong is a typical literary young woman, but literary... She is also easily brainwashed by blockbusters that have both good reputation and box office success, and becomes a fan of Wang Chengguang.

Cai Xiaoguang nodded, "You are right. Director Wang is a rare talent in the directing world. How can an ordinary person like me imagine and guess? His special training has long been praised as a more successful training class than the four-year Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama." "Countless people are curious. Yueyue, if you really can't keep up, going to the special training can also relieve my curiosity."

The reputation of Wang’s special training has really gained a lot of popularity.

Everyone in the industry knows about it and is full of curiosity.

Feng Yue nodded again and asked curiously, "Uncle Cai, have you seen Director Wang's real debut film? Isn't this the secret and masterpiece that has been circulated on the Internet?"

This was already mid-June 2003.

Not only did countless people in the industry know, but also didn't know how to comment on it, that Lao Wang had a debut work with twelve main plots? The online gossip also went viral.

Regardless of who originally posted it online, there are now many curious netizens asking questions under the blog updates of big stars such as Ling Jing, Fang Keming, Huang Zhenhua, etc.

Many students from Beijing Film Academy who actually participated in the filming and behind-the-scenes production of a debut film were also asked this question many times.

Cai Xiaoguang was stunned for a few seconds and then shook his head. "That kind of masterpiece will definitely come out when it's time to see it. Instead of asking me, you might as well get familiar with the new crew and ask for a backdoor to go and see it. Now it's time for your mother and I to take advantage of your glory."

Time flies, June 6rd.

Wang Chengguang arrived at the Republic of China Photography Street and watched the Mr. Zombie crew operating in an orderly manner. With the help of Mr. Yinbing, Lao Fan and Sha Gen both brought their respective roles to life, making the crew laugh from time to time...

He walked over to Feng Yue, Zhou Rong, and Cai Xiaoguang who were still preparing for the match and asked, "Have you ever played before? Can you keep up?"

Tingting in the little dress is just a vase, as long as she is pretty enough. This is his first time here to visit the set, and he has never seen Feng Yue's real live performance.

The three of them hurriedly greeted each other, and Feng Yue then smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Sister Nancy, for giving me the opportunity to learn more. I haven't filmed my scenes yet, so I've been studying hard these past few days."

"And congratulations to the director. Parasite is a big hit again in China and South Korea, and fans are praising it endlessly. Director, your talent is truly unrivaled in Asia."

After being screened at the film festival and then released to the public, it spent its first weekend and second week in the big theaters, and the mainland box office was 9000 million. This is far less than the invincible momentum of The Wandering Earth, which was 2000 million a day. It is only half...

It is still at the absolute blockbuster level. Don't forget that during the Infernal Affairs era, a mainland movie would be ranked in the top ten of the box office charts if it could finally make 30 or 40 million yuan.

The price of Macau Bay is more than 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, Hong Kong Island is 2900 million and Taiwan is 2100 million. Even though Taiwan's vote bank has become popular again, its performance is not too bad.

South Korea spent HK$9 million in 1.9 days!
Even though the European and American distributors, including those from the island country, have not yet agreed on a price, this movie has already been the opening blockbuster of the 03 summer season and is driving the recovery of the entire market.

In this situation, Feng Yue's good words were very appropriate.

Cai Xiaoguang and Zhou Rong also quickly praised the box office success of Parasite. The two of them were serious about flattering each other, and then they had a brief exchange. Zhou Rong, who is middle-aged... No, Zhou Rong is over 50 years old this year and is an old lady.

But Aunt Zhou, who has a strong literary and artistic personality, began to transform into a fanatical fan and asked for autographs and photos.

Wang Chengguang felt helpless and took a group photo before leaving.

When he got to the monitor and watched the robot Jiushu, Wencai and Qiusheng perform another scene, he nodded and smiled, "If this movie is shot quickly, it can still catch up with the summer season."

The entire Mr. Zombie does not have too many special effects, the movements are well-organized, and the funny comedy segments are not outdated even in the early 00s. If the acting can keep up, it really took only one month from the start to the end to complete the filming.

Nancy nodded, "Give that girl another ten days? If she still can't do it after ten days, she'll go to the female teacher. Tsk~ That family of three is actually looking forward to the special training from the female teacher."

"On the other hand, the big thief Lao Li is a real talent. He doesn't need teacher Yin Bing to teach him. After learning how to move, recite lines and other performance methods, he can perform many acting skills easily. His acting skills are online."

Uncle Li is a good actor? Isn't this normal? After being a thief for half his life, he founded a team and led the team. It's normal for such a guy to have 800 minds.

The actors with the worst acting skills here are Sha Gen, Ma Fei and Feng Yue.

After he drank a sip of tea, he transmitted his message, "Those who perform well and work hard can occasionally be rewarded with some spiritual fruits. They don't have to be too high-end, just keep them healthy and their brains sharp."

In fact, in various crews, only Nancy and Zhou Wenwen’s own small warehouses had various spiritual ingredients including spiritual tea.

Mr. Zombie is, after all, a new beginning reflected in the underworld universe! There is nothing wrong with raising the reward level a little bit from this crew to deliver blockbusters about living organisms such as ghosts and gods to the world.

Nancy nodded, "Then how about rewarding those groups of acting teachers?"

Of course, she knew that it was possible to send those teachers to reincarnate, it was just a matter of whether you wanted them to reincarnate in the Journey to the West plane or here...

That is the pursuit of many Yin soldiers teachers, but not all Yin soldiers seek reincarnation. There are more Yin soldiers who have already cultivated the Divine Bridge or Dao Palace realm and do not want to reincarnate directly but want to continue to become stronger on the path of Yin soldiers.

Wang Chengguang nodded. "Awards? We don't lack such a small thing. All teachers who have contributed to our film and television empire will receive awards."

His two Taiyi Golden Immortals gave Nancy and Zhou Wenwen a boost, allowing them to advance from the first Qi training stage to the Nascent Soul stage in one go.

If you really want to reward a large number of ghost soldiers, pulling out a strand of his hair can allow the ghost soldiers to cultivate into high-level ghosts and gods. It is nothing more than relying on the magic power and immortal energy contained in his hair to slowly cultivate. This process may take decades or even hundreds of years.

The rewards of other spiritual ingredients are just as easy and convenient.

After staying in the Mr. Zombie crew for half a day, he left after Zhou Wenwen drove over to deliver a batch of spiritual fruits and melons and distributed them to the team.

He was talking to Nancy via telepathic communication, but Zhou Wenwen, who was also at the peak of the Return to Void realm, was also eavesdropping at a close distance. As long as everyone was still on the same planet, this was considered a standard close distance.

The two of them went to the crew of Chang'e Flying to the Moon, where Zhou Wenwen had previously replaced him as the director.

This is a standard secretary who has something to do, nothing to do...
