Li An's plan is to select candidates with good looks and temperament from the actresses auditioning for Yu Jiaolong, and to conduct intensive training for them in the next one or two months.

Including various aspects such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette and martial arts foundation of officials.

According to Li An, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can cultivate the temperament of a lady from an actor and make them calm down.

In the process, they continued to observe their respective progress and finally selected the actors of Yu Jiaolong.

This is equivalent to a knockout match. Only actors with good talent and willingness to work hard and improve have the opportunity.

If you can't endure hardships and can't even pass the physical training level, how can you make a martial arts film?

Those actors who are not flexible will also be eliminated. Although martial arts scenes can be used as stand-in, it is best for the actors to complete them personally, otherwise the filming will not be realistic enough.

The first challenge for martial arts actors is the actors who are afraid of heights. Those who are not flexible are not good either.

There are also trial outfits. Yu Jiaolong has several sets of clothes in the film, one is a palace outfit worn at home, the other is a night outfit, and the clothes used to travel around the world.

The palace dress is noble and elegant, and the night clothes are tight, highlighting the actress' exquisite figure. If you want to go out into the world, you need a chic and neat spirit, each with your own characteristics.

Actors will wear these costumes one by one to see whose looks are more suitable for the role.

Some actors may be dignified but not good at figures, while others have good figures but do not have the chic spirit.

In the end, it is not about choosing the best one, but about choosing the most suitable one, or the most balanced one in all aspects.

When the actors are trained, someone will follow them. Li An always pays attention to the actors' movements and discovers the Yu Jiaolong in his mind.

This cost a lot of money. Just asking teachers to do training will cost hundreds of thousands in a month.

in the country, only large-scale films have the capital to do so.

The movie is in the preparation stage, and the actors have not been selected yet. Millions have been spent on the selection of outdoor locations and audition actors, and the food, accommodation, clothing and styling of the production team in the Xiangjiang production team.

Lin Zixuan looked at the expenses since the project started and deeply realized that shooting blockbusters is just about burning money.

The largest investment in Good Dream Company in the past was only tens of millions, but now I have not seen anything, and I have no investment in a movie.

Li An originally wanted to select twenty actresses for training, but he wanted to see more possibilities and more choices.

Lin Zixuan thinks that ten is enough. The mainland is not Hollywood, so it’s too unpredictable to spend money like this.

It’s not that he is too stingy and unwilling to spend money, but as a producer, he has the responsibility to dissuade the director from such wasteful behavior.

Jiang Wen also had this approach when filming "Sunny Days". He chose three actresses for training. It was not until the filming started that it was Ning Jing.

The director has a special relationship with the heroine. They always want to find the person in their minds, so they are particularly picky.

In the end, I really have no choice but to choose the closest image.

The result of the discussion between Li An and Lin Zixuan was that fifteen actresses were selected, arranged and trained in a unified manner.

These girls in their twenties live in the same apartment building. Their daily life is very simple. They provide cultural and etiquette training in the morning, and in the afternoon, the martial arts coach explains common sense and physical training to them in the gym.

There is only one day off a week and a second audition will be held after one month.

Girls who perform poorly during this period and refuse to work hard will be eliminated. After the second audition, only five girls with excellent performance will be left for the next stage of training, that is, martial arts training.

Xu Jinglei and Zhang Ziyi are the seed players among them.

Xu Jinglei is already a top-tier domestic actor and has also starred in the TV series "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Zhang Ziyi plays Zhang Yimou's movie and is the new Mou girl.

The other girls are either second- and third-tier actors or new actors who are lucky to be selected by Li An.

They have great expectations for starring in such a big production film and are eager to become big stars. This is a fierce competition.

Li Yan adopts the Hollywood approach.

In Hollywood, as long as you are not that superstar, you need to compete for the role of a big production film. The agents and actors will use various means to attract the attention of directors and producers.

Especially new actors, they work harder to get ahead.

Feng Xiaogang has been paying attention to the progress of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and wants to know how to shoot the blockbuster.

He started his career in a low-cost comedy film and knew how to save money, but he didn't have much experience in how to spend money.

"As I said, I'll just finish it all at once? Xiao Xu performed well. After doing this, hundreds of thousands of dollars, he could only choose one. The training fees for the others were wasted." Feng Xiaogang complained.

"You're just a comedy movie, and it's different from the big directors from Hollywood." Jiang Wen said sarcastically.

In terms of spending money, Jiang Wen agrees with Li An's approach.

He felt that this was the style of a big director. Domestic directors were too petty and had no courage to spend money, and investors were not good at it. Kouqiu was not happy enough.

His new film is expected to be an investment of 20 million yuan, less than 3 million US dollars.

Wang Zhongjun's Huayi brothers were willing to spend 12 million, which was the first step for Huayi to enter the film industry.

He has invested in movies before, but it is only a small investment of one or two million yuan. He tried it out, mainly developing in TV series.

This time he strongly supported Jiang Wen. One was to be optimistic about Jiang Wen's future development prospects, win over Jiang Wen, and to gain benefits.

Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days" filmed by Jiang Wen had a box office of 50 million yuan in mainland China. It was still in the 1995. Although "Xu Sanguan's Blood Selling Record" was banned, he won a big prize. The copyright overseas was sold well, and it was not considered a loss.

In Wang Zhongjun's eyes, Jiang Wen is undoubtedly a potential stock, and there is no reason not to invest.

Therefore, he agreed to invest without reading the script, and he believed in Jiang Wen's vision.

Huayi doesn’t know much about the actual operation status of the domestic film industry. The film industry and the TV industry are different, and the gameplay is different.

Jiang Wen likes Wang Zhongjun likes this. He doesn't care about the money after giving it to you. It's great.

He is now looking for other investments, and many film and television companies are willing to invest in Jiang Wen, but they have to read the script first before they can decide whether to invest and how much they want to invest.

This is why Jiang Wen is not satisfied. He thinks that those film and television companies are too petty, and they only need to study them for millions of things.

"My next film will be higher than your investment. I am planning to invest 30 million." Feng Xiaogang fought back.

"Thirty million? Can you get the investment back on the box office?" Jiang Wen said suspiciously.

"I add advertising, add a piece of advertising and patch advertising and investment, and then I'll come back. Who is relying on box office these days? Your thinking is out of date." Feng Xiaogang said proudly.

"You commercial directors will sooner or later be ruined by the advertisement." Jiang Wen scolded.

Jiang Wen claimed to be an art film director and did not care about adding advertisements to the movies. He wanted to follow the path of an artist. (To be continued.)
