Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 379: Thinner

After asking the crew to stand by, Huang Ze began to think about the issue of the actors.

For the male lead, acting skills are a must, and being more famous would be even better. The key is to have a certain sense of humor and be good at talking.

The key to a heroine is to be beautiful.

It would be most appropriate for the male and female protagonists to be around 30 years old.

The requirements for child actors are not too high.

After all, the child is about seven years old. Children of this age can already communicate, so it’s good that he is not afraid of the camera!
"Forehead……"

The first thing Huang Ze thought of was "To Live", Ge You and Gong Li, aren't they quite suitable male and female protagonists?

But if you use the two of them.

"It's difficult!"

Huang Ze touched his chin.

You just gave the person to Zhang Yimou, and now you're going to snatch him away?

If I don’t rush, who knows if I can make it to next year’s Berlin Film Festival?
Forget it, let’s change someone.

On second thought, I suddenly felt that it was not necessary for them to be together.

Moreover, although Ge You is funny, he still lacks some charm. Although Zhao Yanzi can nibble on his lips, his face is still a flaw.

With a face like that, it's not good enough to trick a rich and beautiful woman with just his words!
Then let it be him.

Wang Zhiwen’s face popped up in Huang Ze’s head.

In Huang Ze's opinion, he was not considered handsome.

But he is quite charming, a harvester of many goddesses.

More importantly, he is from the same hometown! In his words, it would be more reasonable for the male lead to speak with a Shanghai accent.

Besides, if we don’t use fellow villagers, who else can we use?

As for the female lead, after thinking about it, Huang Ze found that he still wanted to cooperate with Zhang Manyu.

Xinghai has collaborated with her on several films, but I have never worked with her on such films.

This person can also speak Shanghainese and act like a wealthy person.

As the Berlin Film Queen, she has enough influence in the small territory of the Berlin Film Festival.

It just so happened that my film "Life is Beautiful" was also going to the Berlin Film Festival.

"Then it's her!"

Huang Ze called someone in Hong Kong and got Zhang Manyu's phone number before calling him.

"Slow jade?"

"Director Huang, it's me." Zhang Manyu's voice was a little naughty, "Director Huang called me, is he going to take me to film a movie?"

"Yes!" Huang Ze didn't hide anything and said directly, "How about it? Are you willing?"

"Wow, Director Huang, you're going too far!"

"What do you mean I am willing or not?"

"Go ask actors all over the country, no, all over the world, who can refuse your invitation, Director Huang?"

"It's obvious that you haven't asked me to film with you."

"Haha, I'm looking for you." Huang Ze said, "Heroine, are you satisfied this time?"

"Satisfied, quite satisfied." Zhang Manyu first expressed his affirmation, and then immediately asked in a joking tone, "Does this heroine have many scenes? Do I need to clear a few months of schedule?"

"It's not as many scenes as the male lead, but it's still quite a lot. It's the normal scenes for a female lead. Please clear out your schedule from April to June for me."

For this play, Huang Ze wanted to finish it quickly.

It's January now.

The pre-production will take two or three months, and the shooting will take two or three months. It should be completed before July. Then we will do the post-production and launch an effort for the Golden Bear.

"Okay, I promise to make time for it."

"So you just agreed to it without even asking me about the script?" Huang Ze teased.

"It's okay, as long as you, Director Huang, are the director, even if there's no script, I'm happy to act!" Zhang Manyu on the other end of the phone curled her lips. Everyone knows that Director Huang's scripts are the best in the world.

If I doubt that your script is not good enough, then there will be no good scripts in this world.

"By the way, Director Huang, I have a question, who is the male lead?"

"We plan to find Wang Zhiwen, but we haven't decided yet. I'll let you know when we do." Huang Ze said, "As for when to join the crew, I suggest you go to Shanghai after the Chinese New Year and take the script with you to get a feel for the role first."

"No problem, Director Huang has spoken, and I will definitely obey!"

"Okay, hang up then!"

After hanging up the phone, Huang Ze called Wang Zhiwen.

"Where are you? I have a play to talk to you about."

"At home, in the Asian Games Village." Wang Zhiwen blurted out, and then said, "Brother Huang, where are you? I'll go find you."

"No, tell me the address. I'll go. I've been staying in the hotel. I just want to go out for a walk. I've been in Beijing for a long time and haven't been to the Asian Games Village yet. I'll just treat it as a trip."

……

Driving to the entrance of the Asian Games Village, Huang Ze saw Wang Zhiwen waiting there from afar, with a chubby woman standing next to him.

Take a closer look.

She is a woman with an oval face and two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

Oh, isn’t this the alchemy boy of Taishang Laojun and the princess in the hearts of Feng Xiaogang and a group of people?

"Promise of love?" Huang Ze stretched out his hand.

"Director Huang, you still remember me!" Xu Qing smiled, and her dimples became more obvious.

"My memory is not that bad." Huang Ze laughed, "'Singing While Walking' even participated in my Golden Deer Awards, how could I forget it so easily?"

"What are you doing?" Huang Ze pointed at Xu Qing and then at Wang Zhiwen.

"Isn't this obvious enough?" Xu Qing hugged Wang Zhiwen's arm, "Director Huang really can't see it?"

"I see it!"

Huang Ze looked at Wang Zhiwen meaningfully.

There is only one question in my mind, where is Xu Fan?
I hope he won’t find Feng Pants in the end.

It's not even complete.

"Come on, Brother Huang, come to my house and sit down."

"Don't leave at noon today. Xu Qing and I will cook together. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

"Okay, then I'll really eat you." Huang Ze followed the two of them to Wang Zhiwen's room.

Xu Qing volunteered to cook, while Wang Zhiwen stayed in the living room with Huang Ze.

"Changed again?" Huang Ze asked in a low voice.

"No, I can't stand any sand in my eyes. When Xu Fan was filming a movie, she was rumored to be having an affair with Tian Zhuangzhuang. I didn't care whether it was true or not. After all, there is no smoke without fire, so I broke up with her directly."

"With this problem, even if we continue to deal with it, it will only make everyone feel upset, don't you think?"

"That's true."

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk business."

"I came here this time to find you to act in a play. The leading actor is a slick man who looks like a liar."

"Stand up!" Huang Ze looked at the other person, then asked him to stand up and look at his body.

"Maybe you need to lose a little more weight?"

"What?" Wang Zhiwen raised his eyebrows. "You scared me. The previous directors thought I was too thin and wanted me to gain some weight."

"Do you really want to lose more weight?"

"Why am I kidding? Your character is going to go to a concentration camp, understand?"

"Then I'm fine, lose weight!"
