Chapter 219 Audition (two chapters in one!)
It's December, "Now Now You See Me" has officially approved the project in Optoelectronics, and several location teams went to Omen and Singapore to find suitable locations for the location.

Although the Bank of France appeared in the original film, it did not go to France for filming, but was filmed in New Orleans, which is civilized with French colonial culture.

Didn't even go to Las Vegas.

But now Tang An has to shoot on site, because the architectural styles of the mainland, Omen, and Singapore are completely different.

The outdoor scenes are in Omen and Singapore, and the studio is set up in the mainland.

Tang An in Singapore has already contacted Star Films through Bernard, and the two sides collaborated on "Painted Skin". It should be no problem to ask them for a little help.

For Tang An, a major domestic director, Star Films also attaches great importance to it, and promises to cooperate with Tang An's shooting as much as possible. They also want to introduce more mainland blockbusters in the future.

After the film project was approved, the outside world finally knew the title of Tang An's new film.

"Director Tang An's new film has been revealed, titled "You Now You See Me"!"

"[-] million director Tang An's new film is officially approved by Optoelectronics, it seems to tell the story of thieves!"

"Today, according to what our reporter learned from the Optoelectronics Department, director Tang An's new film has officially launched, but the specific theme and cast have not been announced!"

"According to insiders of Huayi, Tang An's new film will tell the story of a group of astonishing thieves. Who are the members of the thieves team? Let us wait and see!"

There are not many things that can be found from Optoelectronics, just a title, producer, director and classification.

There is only one classification label: crime!

Combined with the title, it is clear at a glance!

"I thought it was some kind of movie. It turned out to be about thieves, but I don't know if it's from ancient times or modern times!"

"Isn't that similar to "Crazy Stone" and "A World Without Thieves", they are all thieves!"

"It shouldn't be that simple, the title is so arrogant, it's shocking, why don't you move!"

"I hope it is the same movie as "Ocean's Eleven" and "Stealing the Sky"!"

"The filming of "You Now You See Me" is astonishing. Could it be that there will be a heist of the century, and the Swiss bank will be robbed!"

"At first I thought it was a new type. I guess it was a group of people robbing casinos and banks. I'm tired of watching it!"

"I still don't know if it's stealing or robbery, but since there are two words, it should be using high technology to steal in real time, and it's unlikely to be holding an AK!"

"Do you think this thief is using magic? Or some kind of supernatural power?"

"It's also supernatural, why don't you say magic, get a fairy out!"

"If you have a spell, you can turn stone into gold, and steal a hammer!"

"Magic is too much. Could it be that the Chinese are flying around in the sky on broomsticks and holding magic wands? Why don't you talk about magic!"

Just one film title immediately stirred up the entire Lunar New Year film market, stealing the limelight from several films that are currently being released.

In December, with the release of two meat-selling films "Lust, Caution" and "Apple", as well as the comedy film "Call of Destiny", Hollywood action blockbusters "Die Hard 12" and "Bourne Shadow 4", domestic The movie market is bustling again.

There is a new movie released every two days, and the weight is not small. Obviously, many of them are moved from the National Day and summer vacation.

With Zhang Yimou gone, it was quite a scene of demons dancing wildly.

"Lust, Caution" is about to be released, and it has won a box office of 1.3 million yuan in the mainland.

With the flood of pirated videotapes and online videos, it can still exceed [-] million yuan. The title of Oscar's best director is really not covered.

Of course, there are also many viewers who came back disappointed with the purpose of watching the meat, swearing, and even went to the Internet to watch it again.

Compared with "Lust, Caution", the same large-scale "Apple" is a bit miserable.

The box office on the first day just exceeded one million, and it was 320 million in the first weekend. After all, Li Yu is not Li Yong, and Fan Binbin and Xiongda are no different.

Fortunately, Fan Binbin didn't take part in the battle in person, otherwise the box office would not be a big loss, and it would be useless for others to see!
The classic spy series movie "Bourne Shadow 3" was released in mid-November. It just took in 1000 million yuan in four days in the first weekend, and 900 million yuan in the second week, with a total box office of just over 2000 million yuan.

Compared with the same classic "Mission: Impossible", this series can be said to be popular or not, and even changed the protagonist later!
Anyway, this series is about "who am I", "where am I from" and "where am I going".

"Die Hard 4" is similar, 4 million in 1000 days, more than half a month after its release, with a total box office of more than 2500 million.

It can be said that the appearance of "Die Hard" redefined action movies. Before that, the protagonists of action movies were all muscular heroes.

Every time a terrorist or a daring gangster hatches a plan that seems infallible, but always misses out on the main character in its execution.

The protagonist always appears in the wrong place at the wrong time, has no prominent background, is not an invulnerable iron man, and has no hidden special identity.

Every time the protagonist is beaten by bad guys, exhausted physically and mentally, and covered with scars, but he can always stand up again in the end and continue to fight.In the end, the protagonist who was covered in injuries, even if he couldn't walk, he could still take out his pistol and kill the opponent with one shot.

But this time, the fourth part is going to be more exaggerated. The protagonist actually killed a newest fighter jet with his bare hands.

But it's no wonder that Bruce Willis has been 33 years old since he acted in the first film at the age of 52. He is also old, and he can't win without hanging up!
On November 11th, the first comedy film was finally released. The comedy film "Love Call Transfer" starring Xu Zheng and Ge You must be very interesting.

Although the audience scolded, claiming that this movie is completely an advertisement for Huaguo Mobile and several major mobile phone manufacturers.

There are Huaguo Mobile brands everywhere, the ringtones of Nokia, Bird, ZTE.
The third story is even funnier. The story of Ge You, a farmer who has never seen a mobile phone, uses his mobile phone to pick up girls and make money.

The details are as follows:

Mobile phones also have signal in mountainous areas.

Mobile phones can make calls to Telecom landlines.

If the mobile phone cannot be recharged in the village, you can ride a bicycle to the mobile business hall in the town to recharge.

Mobile phone recharge cards are divided into [-] and [-].

Mobile calls are very expensive, and 50 yuan can only be used for a short time.

Bird's mobile phone is not afraid of falling.

Good people get rewarded, stupid people get stupid blessings.

In the mountains, whoever has a mobile phone is awesome!
In a mountain village that doesn’t even have electricity (they have a signal, it’s awesome), if a person runs out of money on his mobile phone, he will immediately recharge it, and then he will be [-] without hesitation or distress.

To be honest, it's funny to just look at it with your eyes and don't go into it, and don't think about it.

Looking at the audience leaving the auditorium with smiles in twos and threes, Tang An patted Yang Mi next to him, "Let's go, the movie is over, I'll take you back!"

"Brother An, it's only past 10 o'clock, let's go to another place to have fun!" Yang Mi said reluctantly.

"It's getting late, when you get home at 11 o'clock, you have to go to Hengdian tomorrow, and the shooting will start the day after tomorrow, so you have to keep up your energy, don't make mistakes on the first day, and then you will be ashamed!"

"But I didn't play on the first day!"

"That's not okay, it's even worse if you're listless before shooting on the first day of shooting!"

"Ah, then Brother An, take me to eat supper, and go back after eating!"

"What's for supper? I've already eaten. You'll eat a medium bucket of popcorn. If you eat any more, you'll be like a pig." Tang An smiled and patted her stomach twice.

Yang Mi tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly had an idea, and took Tang An's hand to act coquettishly, "Brother An, take me to eat kebabs. Just now when we came here, there was a tricycle selling kebabs under the nearby overpass. Now There should be more."

What skewers, isn't it Malatang?

The old paper billionaire, took his sister paper to Tianqiao to eat skewers!

Seems pretty good too
As soon as he said that, he left, helped Yang Mi straighten his knitted hat, put on his scarf, and came to the foot of a flyover near the cinema.

At this point in the evening, there is no need to worry about the city management, and there are almost no pedestrians. Looking around, there are three tricycles on this road, selling different snacks.

There was no need for the boss to call, Yang Mi went up to choose a lot of things by herself.

Hairy tripe, sausage, squid, ham sausage, lotus root slices, bean curd, tofu, cabbage, kelp, potatoes, mushrooms, various meatballs, chicken feet, quail eggs, beef.
Take a few skewers of each dish without looking at it, whether you can eat it or not.

Seeing that it was almost done, Tang An quickly pressed her hand, "Okay, okay, it's a waste if you can't finish it!"

"Boss, that's all, please help us hurry up and go back to sleep, thank you!"

He dragged Yang Mi to find a small table and sat down, took off the scarf and put it on his lap.

"Look, Brother An."

Yang Mi tugged at his sleeve suddenly, and smiled narrowly.

"What's wrong?" Tang An didn't understand why.

"They all laughed when they heard you say go back to sleep."

"Just laugh." Tang An shrugged.

"I was going back to sleep, don't you want to sleep?"

"They mean it is."

"What is it?"

After teasing for a while, the boss quickly brought up the skewers.

A large enamel bowl, the soup inside has a red layer of chili oil, which is refreshing to eat in winter.

"Hurry up and eat!"

As Tang An said, he first took a bunch of chicken feet and went down in one bite.
hiss!
This boss is either from western Sichuan or from southern Shonan!

Yang Mi was even more unbearable, her small mouth was opened wide, her tongue was flapping up and down, and she kept breathing heavily, beads of sweat immediately appeared on her forehead.

"Brother An is so spicy!"

Then he bit the remaining half string of tofu into his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the second string, the third string
Just for a while, seven or eight sticks were left on the table.

This is the case with spicy food. The more you eat, the more you want to eat it.

Tang An quickly grabbed her hand and continued to eat. Once he stopped, he couldn't take it anymore.

"boss!"

He yelled and called the boss, "Boss, can you change us to a non-spicy soup?"

"Ok, Ok."

The boss saw that Yang Mi's face was flushed hot, and he understood it when he was hissing and hissing. He changed it to a big bowl of soup without saying a word.

After wiping his hands, he took another roll of toilet paper from under the car and put it in a box.

"Girl, wipe off your sweat, don't catch a cold when it's windy at night."

Tang An pulled some toilet paper to help her wipe off the sweat on her face, but then the sweat continued to break out.

After thinking about it, I went to a nearby convenience store and bought two boxes of yogurt. Yang Mi felt better after drinking it.

"If you can't eat spicy food, eat less, because sweating in winter is easy to catch a cold!"

"But eating spicy food is very comfortable."

After eating about half of it, Tang An packed up the rest and sent Yang Mi back.

I went back to Xu Manyun's house again, and bought some things downstairs in the community.

Open the door and go in, the light in the study is still on.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Xu Manyun turned around and smiled, "It's nothing, there are still some things to be done, and the financial affairs will be consolidated at the end of the year."

"Let's eat something, don't worry about these two days, it will be the same tomorrow."

"I have an audition tomorrow, so I'll go to bed first, and you should go to bed early too!"

After a word of advice, Tang An washed his face and went to sleep.

Huayi has almost found all the actors, and is waiting for Tang An to make a decision.

Early the next morning, Tang An came to Huayi and went directly to a conference room temporarily vacated for auditions.

Zhao Jun from the production department took several documents and handed them to Tang An. There were only a few characters in total, all of which were carefully selected by Hua Yi.

Originally, three to four actors were prepared for each role, but Tang An picked one of each after watching it.

Most of these actors in the entertainment industry know each other well, and you can tell if they are suitable at first glance, so don't bother to audition one by one.

"Call everyone in!" Tang An put down the script and ordered Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun, the deputy director of the production department, was also willing to listen to Tang An's command, so he made a phone call and asked the actors who were still in another conference room to come in.

Not long after, the door opened from the outside, and eight actors came in one by one.

"Hello Director Tang!"

"Hi everyone!" Tang An nodded.

Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Tang Yan, Deng Kai, Wu Gang, Yu Hewei, Liao Fan, Yu Nan.

At first, Tang An was a little surprised that Hua Yi was able to recruit Liu Ye. Although he usually played the third role in big productions, it was for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, which is the norm in the industry.Now as a match for Deng Chao, it is obvious that he has taken the initiative to let go of his figure.

After all, the current Deng Chao is not as good as him on the big screen, and the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster trophies are not given for nothing.

After careful questioning, I found out that I haven't received any good movies in the past two years. "Heaven's Mouth" was narrated by Wu Yanzu and Zhang Zhenzuo, and "Keep Calling" just received was also narrated by Gu Tianle and Zhang Jiahui.

The number three role, if there is no box office box office and no awards, it is better to come to Tang An to play the number two role and be gilded!
As for Yu Nan, he came in because of his relationship, the girlfriend of the fifth generation director Wang Quanyong.

But it does meet the requirements, capable, just three or four years older.

Although there are some differences from the original character, there is no big problem.

Tang An never refuses favors, as long as they meet the requirements, why not sell favors if they can!

If you don't use your own people, use outsiders. Do you have to do this to appear more fair and selfless?
After examining them one by one, Tang An stood up.

"Today there are 8 roles. The selection of everyone is also after careful consideration. You have no other competitors. As long as you show your best form and meet my requirements, you can get the role!"

Everyone had no objection to Tang An's words. In fact, almost everyone in the entertainment circle knew that Tang An didn't need to audition every time.

It's a bit strange that he is so familiar with actors, but isn't it normal that a great director is different from ordinary people?

I reviewed the movie a few times today, and I just squeezed out some time to review it when it was about to start shooting
"The Panda Eating Tomatoes" friend tipped the rudder master, and Jiageng will make it up as soon as possible!
I hope that the friends who give rewards can be able to give rewards again on the basis of full subscription, because subscription is the foundation of a book, which is related to the subsequent achievements.
