The conspicuous bag in China Entertainment Taohuawu

Chapter 128 Preparation
"Uncle Guan and Aunt Jing, long time no see." In the private room of the Cheng Mansion banquet, Chen Xinghe saw Guan Hu and Liang Jing walking into the room, stood up and greeted them warmly.

"Long time no see Xinghe, he is getting more and more handsome as he grows older." Liang Jing hugged him, Guan Hu also smiled at the side, and then the two of them greeted Chang Jihong who was sitting at the dining table, " Sister Chang."

Chang Jihong nodded to the two of them, "Jing'er, sit down with Director Guan, this brat like Xinghe came to the company to see me today and made me happy. As a result, he asked me to invite you out after being in trouble for a long time. Let’s meet.”

Hearing Chang Jihong's words, Liang Jing also laughed, "Hahahahahaha, Xinghe, why are you so polite? If you want to call me or Uncle Guan, just ask Sister Chang for a phone number. Then there is no need to do this." It’s a lot of trouble.”

Chen Xinghe scratched his head with a smile on his face, "Don't you really want to thank Director Guan? The people you introduced to me before are all excellent. I have long wanted to say thank you to you in person."

Guan Hu waved his hand to tell him not to be polite. When Chang Jihong saw someone coming, he asked the waiter to serve the food.

When the dishes were all served, Chen Xinghe opened a bottle of wine and gave some to several people. Then he raised his own glass and said, "Uncle Guan and Aunt Jing, I respect you both."

Seeing that he was so polite, Guan Hu also drank a drink and said: "Xiao Chen, you came to me through Sister Chang if you have something to tell me. Just tell me directly. We don't need to be so open to each other."

Chen Xinghe put down his glass of wine and went straight to the topic, "Then let me get straight to the point. Uncle Guan, I invested in a movie. I am the leading actor in the movie. I want to get you to join us in investing together. In addition, I would like to ask you to be the producer of this film.”

"Director Guan, I've read the script and it's really good. Otherwise, I wouldn't have helped him set up this game." Chang Jihong also chimed in.

"Oh, that's right. Show me the script. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. If the script is good, I will help you produce the movie."

Hearing Guan Hu's words, Chen Xinghe was very happy and quickly took out the script and handed it to Guan Hu, "Uncle Guan, let's eat first. You can take the script home and read it later."

"Okay, come to Xinghe and let us have sex together. Usually your Aunt Jing won't let me drink. Today, with a junior like you here, she is too embarrassed to tell me if I am."

"It's okay, uncle. Aunt Jing will be embarrassed to tell you to go in front of my aunt, but I can't control you when you get home."

"Hahahahaha."

The meal was suitable for both host and guest. Chen Xinghe and his aunt Chang Jihong watched Liang Jing and Guan Hu leave together before they got into the car.

"Lao Xu, let's drive. Send my aunt back first." After getting in the car, Chen Xinghe said to Lao Xu, then looked at Chang Jihong and said, "Auntie, do you think this can be done?"

Hearing Chen Xinghe's words, Chang Jihong smiled happily and replied: "Don't worry, even if he doesn't invest in your movie, there is no problem in being a producer. As for investment, if you are short of money, just talk to your aunt." explain."

"I'm not short of money, but I still want you to invest in it. I'm very optimistic about this movie. I think it won't make a lot of money at the box office, but at least it won't lose money."

"Forget it Xinghe, I won't invest in it. In addition to Guan Dao, you also need to recruit one of China Film or Guangguang to join. After all, these two companies have advantages in hair and hair."

"I know, auntie, I didn't think about it too much."

After sending Chang Jihong home, Chen Xinghe returned to his home.

On December 12st, Chen Xinghe got in touch with China Film Group through the relationship provided by Chang Jihong. As Chen Xinghe’s first movie after winning the Venice Best Actor, China Film Group also attached great importance to it. Vice Chairman Fu Ruoqing was the first to read the script. We held a meeting to vote on time, and finally chose to invest in the movie "Life Events". After some communication, we finally decided to invest 1 million and get 3000% of the movie's box office share.

Director Guan Hu also agreed to serve as the producer of the new movie, and invested 1000 million to receive 10% of the box office share.

After hearing the news, Liu Jiangjiang was also excited and offered to take only 5% of the box office share. Chen Xinghe nodded in agreement, but Chen Xinghe was not a stingy person and gave him another 100 million director's fee.

Canruo Xinghe Studio received 3500% of the box office share with Chen Xinghe's salary plus an investment of 55 million yuan.

After the investment was confirmed and the crew officially approved the project, Chen Xinghe discovered an advantage of bringing China Film into the project, that is, the equipment and personnel were readily available, which saved the crew a lot of time in preparation.

Now that the drama crew has gathered, all that remains is the selection of actors. The heads of several companies gathered together to discuss the casting of roles. There are a total of five main characters in the movie: Mo Sanmei, Wu Xiaowen, and Wang Jianren. , Yin Baixue, Sister Mo and Lao Mo, among which the character Wu Xiaowen is a child. However, most of the dialogue lines in this movie are in dialects, so several companies still had concerns when selecting roles. The first consideration was actors from Sichuan, Chongqing, and Hubei provinces.

Speaking of this, the first Sichuan and Chongqing actor that Chen Xinghe thought of was his girlfriend Zhou La. However, except for the role played by the young actor Wu Xiaowen, the other roles in this movie were not suitable for Zhou La, so Chen Xinghe gave up. Got this idea.

As for Xixi, who has a romantic relationship with Mo Sanmei? Sorry, Chen Xinghe had no intention of letting her play a character who cheated on her own character.

And since Zhou Xi fell in love with Chen Xinghe, she basically refused to accept any scenes that included kissing or sex scenes. To be honest, if Chang Jihong hadn’t discussed this matter with Li Binbin before and paid the price Some resources and songs may have stopped working long ago.

Part of the reason why Chen Xinghe agreed to Green Arrow's advertising endorsement was partly because of this. However, Zhou Xi also said before that he didn't want to take on roles recently and wanted to learn how to be a good producer and a good company boss. Later, there was "One Person". The role of Sister Baoer is waiting for her to be played. Having these two series with big IP and taking on some movies in variety shows every year is enough to keep her busy.

"Mr. Chen, can I tell you what I think?" In the conference room, Liu Jiangjiang saw that no one was talking about fixing the angle, so he directly asked Chen Xinghe.

"Tell me, are you a director? You must have portrayed characters before."

"That's right, I have considered casting the roles before. Except for the role of Mo Sanmei, which will be played by you, for the remaining roles, you only need to choose a small actor for the role of Wu Xiaowen. The other main roles may not be If we need to know the dialect from Sichuan, Chongqing and Hubei, wouldn’t it be enough to find a few more locals among our supporting cast?”

Hearing Liu Jiangjiang's words, Chen Xinghe's eyes lit up. Yes, in fact, as long as you memorize the lines and have someone teach you how to say them and practice them several times before filming, why bother worrying about where the actors are? Just fitting the role is enough.

After understanding this, Chen Xinghe's thoughts instantly opened up and he discussed with Director Guan Hu and Fu Ruoqing, "Vice President, Uncle Guan, I think Director Liu is right. We don't need to think too much about whether we can speak dialects, as long as the role is suitable." Matching is enough.”

"Then the casting will be easy. Let Song Jia play the role of Yin Baixue. I can invite her to join our crew." Guan Hu said directly.

Xiao Songjia's acting skills are very good. As a good friend of Xiao Songjia and Guan Hu, who was born in the 80s and whose fame and acting skills are both on the front line, it is easy for him to invite her.

Chen Xinghe also became a lot bolder and spoke directly, "Okay, I'll trouble you to supervise me. As for the role of Lao Mo, I would like to invite Mr. Li Baotian to play the role."

"Sister Mo, you can invite Hao Lei." Fu Ruoqing also said her favorite actors. Hao Lei is also a very good actor. Her previous role, Qin Huairu, was even more famous in Seven Points.

"As for the role of Wang Jianren, let's choose Wang Ge. There is no one more suitable than him." Wang Ge had previously played the role of Mouse in the TV series "Remaining Crime" and is also an excellent supporting actor.

With the ideas in mind and the characters everyone expected, a list was soon released. The role of Mo Sanmei’s ex-girlfriend Xixi was also chosen by Wuhan local actress Wu Qian, and the role of the eldest brother-in-law was chosen by Chen Ning Li, whom Xinghe has worked with before.

After hearing what Chen Xinghe and the others were discussing, Liu Jiangjiang couldn't help but shake his legs while sitting on his chair.

However, the actor who plays Wu Xiaowen is a problem. The requirements of this role are too high, and there are many crying scenes and emotional scenes, which is very difficult for young actors.

Chen Xinghe also thought of Chen Zhiyan, who had collaborated with him many times, and gave up the idea after thinking about it. She was so sweet and cute that she couldn't handle this role.

Everyone discussed together for a long time, and finally Liu Jiangjiang decided that the role of Wu Xiaowen would be played by Yang En, a young actor from Sichuan and Chongqing.

After deciding on the main roles, Chen Xinghe sent invitations to these people non-stop, and the invited actors also agreed to participate in a dignified manner.

Director Liu Jiangjiang will be responsible for the remaining supporting roles. As long as they are actors from Sichuan, Chongqing and Hubei who are suitable for the roles, it is enough.

Chen Xinghe took advantage of these few days to go back to the courtyard to spend time with his family.

Everything was ready, and Chen Xinghe joined the cast again shortly after the filming of "Dafeng Watchman" was completed.

To be continued. .
