Chapter 272: The hero of "Martian Rescue"

Lei Jiayin looked at the agent tidying up the smooth wall of the elevator and pulling his tie, and couldn't help but complain: "You are not a woman, and Director Chen won't look at you even if he tidied up."

“Isn’t this nervous?”

"Are you an actor or I an actor? Don't worry, I have worked with Director Chen twice. I know his temper. If you call me directly, it will definitely be decided. Unless there is any major accident, who can still control his opinions?" Lei Jiayin comforted.

He changed his new company in the middle of last year and his agent changed, so he had never contacted Chen Jingxing.

Of course, times have changed. Chen Jingxing's weight and status are completely different from that of a year ago. DreamWorks has changed almost every year. Even Lei Jiayin's heart is jumping up and down like a mouse living in her, but it is very well covered up by him.

Lei Jiayin starred in Chen Jingxing's third movie "Signal" in 2014, and later played Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Sword II" and the space science fiction blockbuster "Graining", and won the Golden Rooster Best Supporting Actor last year.

Starting from "Signal", Lei Jiayin's acting career was like a rocket sitting under her butt, soaring into the sky.

Although he suffered a loss in appearance, he did not have as many resources as the four middle-aged students, and his appeal was incomparable to the number of fans, and his commercial value was lacking, but his acting skills were good, and his supporting roles could be played by the protagonist and the audience was also good, so he could be considered a weaker line among male actors.

Perhaps because "Signal" started very well and made two movies in succession, I was more cautious in taking on the role, or my horizons also became higher.

He has acted in three good movies in a row. "Signal" alone has a box office of 1 billion in China. This performance is definitely the top ranking among the male actors at present, and there is also the Golden Rooster Trophy. Of course, he aims at the movie star.

He is planning to see if "Gravity" will bring him a turnaround after its release. After all, it is a space blockbuster that has attracted much attention from the Chinese people. It is known as the most expensive movie in China, and the box office is definitely guaranteed.

It will probably take more than a month to go, so you have to process all the documents that can be signed and must be signed on paper in advance.

He completely regarded himself as a balloon person, which is still relatively rare in the domestic actor industry. Of course, Chen Jingxing refused this plan while moved.

Chen Jingxing was a little stunned when he heard this. It was not that this would delay the construction period and increase the production cost.

It’s not that the temperament of "Gravity" or "Interstellar" is not good, or is it too bitter and deep, but that each movie has its own unique charm. Chen Jingxing hopes that the space trilogy can bloom different colors and charms in his hands.

Chen Jingxing is about to go abroad. What he and Tang Xin are going to do is to get married. In fact, they are traveling abroad and are not going to invite industry stars or bigwigs to attend the wedding. After they come back, the two companies will hold a small thank-you banquet and will be completed.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to take on this drama in the Republic of China, I received a call from Chen Jingxing.

Lei Jiayin patted his shoulder: "We must come early, and we can still let the leader wait for us? Is Director Chen coming?"

Therefore, what Chen Jingxing came up with was only a semi-finished script. The script content of this movie itself was not much, and the semi-finished one was only a dozen pages.

That is, spend more than two months to lose weight madly, and reduce it to the skinny state of the hero in the script when he was rescued. After taking the thin shot, the filming was paused for one or two months.

As for the male lead in "Martian Rescue", Chen Jingxing considered many domestic male actors, and finally chose Lei Jiayin.

However, this kind of sudden weight loss is a great harm to the actor's body. Some balloon people in Hollywood are gifted and normal people are not easy to learn.

Recently, a S-level star drama in the Republic of China was found, and he gradually accepted the current reality. It is good to act in TV series, with high pay, and can also cultivate national popularity. There are really too few good resources for movies, so you can't wait any longer. You can't wait until you wait.

When Lei Jiayin thought that he might soon become the male lead in Chen Jingxing's new movie, he felt a little hot and uncontrollable excitement.

Moreover, Lei Jiayin is a kind of male actor who can be honest and harmonious, but she has no particular harmony. That is, she is the image of a comedian in "The Golden Robbery". After that, especially after acting in "Signal", she was accompanied by serious dramas and never played comedy or funny characters related to comedy.

Actors with Chen Jingxing’s WeChat and contact information are also sensible. Knowing that Chen Jingxing is a very opinionated and decisive director, people will naturally "summon" you if you think you are suitable. If you don’t actively contact you by phone, you will only embarrass the relationship between the two parties, which will affect Chen Jingxing’s perception of you.

Let him gain weight and recover his health, and then continue to shoot the first half of the scene after training his muscles.

"Here, just after the meeting, the chairman is in the office now, and there is no one inside."

"Martian Rescue" does have a humorous and even close to comedy temperament, especially the male protagonist, who needs to be able to burst out optimistic and humorous emotions in desperate situations and infect the audience. This is the unique charm of the male protagonist of "Martian Rescue" and even the charm of the movie itself.

Although he doesn't have many scenes, after all, this movie can almost be said to be the heroine's one-man show, but he is also the male lead. The first half of the movie has a strong presence, which should enhance his commercial value a lot.

Lei Jiayin is very good at doing things. Although DreamWorks does not have an artist brokerage business, he and DreamWorks are definitely not considered to have any contractual relationship, but he still acts like a contracted artist from DreamWorks.

Perhaps it was because he was too excited, or perhaps it was because he wanted to repay Chen Jingxing's "knowing people with wise eyes". After reading the script and asking about the approximate shooting time and shooting cycle, Lei Jiayin proposed an amazing shooting plan.

Chen Jingxing admired this level of professionalism, but he did not think it was a good thing or something worthy of encouragement.

After all, compared to when she took on "Gravity" in early 2015, the status of DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing has also changed drastically.

It's nothing to delay this little time. "The Martian Rescue" itself is a movie that will be released at least next year.

"Brother Lei? Why did you come so early?" The person who spoke was an old employee of DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing's assistant. He had dealt with Lei Jiayin.

His image and age also destined that his competitors are these first-line male actors. In the young field, traffic is now the king. He cannot move first-line male actors and cannot seize the opportunity of traffic stars. His spirit makes him trapped in an embarrassing situation that is neither up nor down.

Lei Jiayin took over the script and was secretly excited while watching it. It was space science fiction, which determined that this movie must be a big production.

"I'm here, I'll sit."

He has indeed heard of such balloon actors. Hollywood even has a more cruel wolf killer than this. It feels as easy as playing.

He has sufficient time schedule for the project "Martian Rescue", a loose budget design, and is not in a hurry to release. The first two works of "Gravity" and "Matrix" are still not released.

Fortunately, with Xu Wenshen, he, as the chairman, actually doesn’t have much to deal with.

Unfortunately, good film resources in China are not only scarce, but also have great competition. The competition among first-line male actors has reached a point in the competition. The four middle-aged students, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, and Luo Chen and Hu Ge, who were held by DreamWorks, are all ahead of him. Good scripts will be chosen for these eight first-line male actors at the first time. Even if he is the ninth person behind these eight people, he can only pick up the rest.

The male protagonist of "Martian Rescue" first needs muscle training, and he needs to perform weight loss training with the help of a special coach to meet or be close to the body size standards of an astronaut.

But Lei Jiayin was so angry that she was really a bit too cruel, and she could be called a wolf kill.

The script of "Martian Rescue" has not yet been formed. Of course, the big framework has been determined. It is just that some key plot arrangements involving the aerospace major need to be confirmed by expert consultants from the aerospace department or put forward suggestions for modification.

Of course, he also has to cast the casting of "Martian Rescue" before leaving, at least the protagonist must be finalized, because the actor may need some time to prepare.

This gives "Martian Rescue" a completely different temperament from "Gravity" and "Interstellar".

The most important thing is that the role of the male lead is still the role of the male lead. The degree of the degree of the female lead may not be as good as the role of the female lead in "Gravity". After all, it is almost a one-man show, but it is definitely a rare script of the male lead. If the news is released, the male actors on the first and second lines will probably be competing for the treacherous mind.

Chen Jingxing moved the stack of documents he had signed to the side and asked Lei Jiayin and his agent to sit down.

First of all, age and image are more suitable. As a botanist, he was also selected as an astronaut to explore Mars. The youngest age will not be less than 30 years old. Otherwise, the film will lose its true texture and become a science fiction idol movie.

Of course, I also took advantage of the travel and wedding to Amika to follow up on the release of "Gravity".

If you can't compete in the film field, or if the scripts you have in your hands cannot satisfy him, the most realistic choice is to give up your excessive enthusiasm, and the market and projects of TV series are indeed much more than movies. With his status, there are still quite a lot of resources for star dramas.

As an old friend who has worked with him twice, of course he has Chen Jingxing’s WeChat and will say hello and chat during festivals. However, Chen Jingxing’s movies are highly confidential before the project is announced, and he has no way of knowing Chen Jingxing’s casting progress.

Although Chen Jingxing's reputation in the industry is that he has strict requirements on actors during filming, his concept is that he should try not to damage the health of the actors as much as possible. Some of them are limited to budget or technology. He can accept them if he is bound to be bumpy under sufficient protection. He can also accept these inevitable things such as bumps and bumps under sufficient protection.

Especially when there is no need, it is boring to let the actors make such a big sacrifice just to gain a reputation for professionalism in Chen Jingxing's opinion.

In fact, Matt Damon, the actor who plays the male lead in the original version of "Martian Rescue", was not so cruel to himself. The skinny shots in the later stage were achieved by stand-in, special effects makeup and computer special effects.

The main reason is that most of the shots of the male protagonist in the movie are wearing space suits. There are not many thin shots in the "potato diet" later, which can be solved by technical means, and the cost is not high.

After finalizing the male lead of "Martian Rescue", "Black Mirror" has already started broadcasting, and the promotion and promotion of "Mirage" is also progressing in an orderly manner. Only one major event needs Chen Jingxing to solve before going abroad, that is, to cut the trailer for "Gravity".
