Zhang Hang's "The Great Wall" has a good reputation. It was so popular when it was released, but now it's only just over one billion.

"With such a blockbuster, it shouldn't be my turn, right?" Zhang Yu said, "Don't you give priority to artists signed by Wansheng Film and Television?"

Zhang Yu seems to be considered an artist under Wansheng Film and Television.

But he is affiliated with the studio, and obviously he is not "close" to the artists who are directly signed to Wansheng Film and Television.

"It's not the male lead." Wang Mei glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "As expected, the male lead is Li Hua."

"Um?"

Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei with some surprise.

Li Hua is an international kung fu superstar, and the only one who can compare with him is Cheng Jie.

Zhang Yu is very popular now, but compared with Li Hua, he is not even a little bit worse.

Li Hua plays the male lead, and he plays a supporting role, which is not embarrassing.

"He is also going back to China to develop?" Zhang Yu asked immediately.

Li Hua seems to be doing pretty well in Hollywood.

He is much younger than Cheng Jie and has not yet reached the point where he cannot be beaten.

"Director Chen wants to go abroad for this film." Wang Mei said, "Wansheng Group's entry into film and television is not only focused on the domestic market. What's more, Wansheng Group also has many theaters abroad."

"An investment of 300 million is considered a blockbuster in China," Zhang Yu said, "but if it were placed in Hollywood, it would only be a medium-sized film. Li Hua's salary is not low. Even if he charges a friendly price, I am afraid it will not be less than 100 million. Plus

The salaries of other actors, the production costs of this movie..."

The cost of filming and production is probably less than half.

However, it is not bad at home.

"Domestic filming and production costs are not as high as those in Hollywood." Wang Mei said, "Do you think it will be like your filming of "Buried Alive"?"

Zhang Yu smiled awkwardly.

For the same thing, the cost of filming and production in Hollywood would be at least double.

Apart from anything else, the cost of extra actors varies every day.

"With the blessing of an international superstar like Li Hua, why are you looking for me?" Zhang Yu said.

"The target audience is different!" Wang Mei said, "In China, Li Hua may not be able to compare with you in terms of young movie fans."

Does Li Hua appeal to young movie fans?

have!

However, he has been in Hollywood all year round and his exposure rate is not high in China. Among young people, it is hard to say how popular Li Hua is at the box office.

Then why are you still looking for Zhang Yu?

It's just more insurance.

Such an investment carries high risks, so it is naturally better to have more insurance.

"Then what role do you want me to play?" Zhang Yu asked, "The second male lead, the third, fourth male lead, or a guest appearance?"

If it's a guest appearance, Wang Mei doesn't have to go there in person.

"He is considered the second male lead!" Wang Mei said, "The villain! He has many scenes opposite Li Hua."

"Let me read the script first!" Zhang Yu thought for a while and said.

He didn't refuse directly, but he didn't readily agree either.

If the script is good, Zhang Yu will naturally not refuse it. He doesn't have to star in the script he "wrote".

But if it was blocked by the script, he really didn't want to waste time.

Wang Mei was obviously prepared and had brought the script.

""palace"?"

Zhang Yu looked at the title of the film and was a little surprised. The title reminded him of a TV series.

However, he didn't think much about it and immediately started reading the script.

This movie has nothing to do with the TV series he knows.

This is a palace movie.

It's about a palace coup.

The male protagonist is an imperial uncle who holds heavy troops to defend against foreign enemies.

And what about the villain?

The prince of the imperial dynasty killed his father to seize the throne for a woman, and also wanted to kill his uncle and regain his military power.

Well, that woman is the protagonist's fiancée.

Then, there was a palace battle.

The villain dies after the protagonist.

In other words, he died on that woman.

The script...is just that.

However, there are probably a lot of big scenes.

There are several battlefield scenes among them.

As for the role of the crown prince, he is ruthless and a bit crazy.

But it also gives people the feeling that they love beauty rather than country.

Infatuation, or stupidity?

Especially Zhang Yu didn't like the attitude of the heroine.

Don't lick the dog accurately!

However, this character's role is quite important, not much worse than that of the protagonist.

"Has Li Hua read this script?" Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei and said.

"That's not there yet." Wang Mei said, "What's wrong?"

"I feel like he won't accept it," Zhang Yu said.

Wang Mei frowned.

Li Hua won't answer?

Why does Zhang Yu think so? It's obvious that he didn't like the script.

He didn't want to answer.

"You don't like this movie?" Wang Mei said.

Although she did not lead the film, she was also a participant.

If the movie fails to meet expectations, she will also be under a lot of pressure.

"It's hard to say." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "But I don't like the role of the prince."

How is the movie? With his eyes, can he see it?

Give me a break.

He is just a newcomer who just made his debut and made a successful movie by luck.

Those well-known producers in the industry may not be sure about a movie that has not yet started filming.

Zhang Yu doesn’t have much research on the film market.

What's more, this movie wants to go international.

Zhang Yu still knows little about the domestic market, let alone the foreign market.

If he really understood, he wouldn't have lost a commercial building in Xiangjiang.

"Let's wait until Li Hua replies!" Wang Mei thought for a while and said.

Zhang Yu didn't say anything, but his attitude was already clear.

If Li Hua picks up, he will pick up.

It's not for this movie, but for the role opposite Li Hua.

If Li Hua doesn't answer, he will naturally not answer either.

Zhang Yu nodded.

He wasn't optimistic about the movie, but he didn't think it would be a bad movie either.

It doesn't matter if you pat it.

After Wang Mei left, Zhang Yu continued to work on the album, and occasionally discussed the small-budget movie with Ning Yuan.
