Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Seeing him like this, Chen Xiao was a little touched.

He even thought of giving him a bonus.

As soon as he had this idea, he heard Fang Rong jokingly said, "Come on, your girlfriend is studying for a doctorate in Shanghai. You can't wait to fly there today, right? Stop pretending."

A burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the conference room.

Chen Xiao also laughed.

He was touched in vain.

After a short joke, Chen Xiao explained a few more words to Wang Rui and looked at the casting director Sun Li.

"Director Sun, I have roughly selected some people. I'd like you to add some more candidates. We will have auditions from October 17th to 22nd."

Casting is the focus, so it takes longer.

Chen Xiao continued:

"The characters who know Kung Fu can be selected from Peking Opera martial artists and disciples of various schools."

"However, there is one thing that needs attention. The martial arts types of the three masters should not be changed. Legs, fists, and weapons. Because learning martial arts means practicing the chassis first, then practicing fists, and then weapons. This also corresponds to the order of the three people's appearance and the level of martial arts."

Sun Li nodded as if he suddenly realized, "So that's it. I understand."

It seems that the chief director really gained something from learning martial arts.

This is the attitude that directors and screenwriters should have!

Just when he thought of this, he heard Chen Xiao continue to ask: "For the protagonist, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Sun Li thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "Yes, Yan He."

"I remember that he usually plays idol dramas, right?"

"Well, he has good acting skills and is a martial arts enthusiast. There have been no excellent martial arts film and television projects in the past two years, so he didn't play, but it should be okay."

"Okay, then invite him to try, and please find a suitable candidate. If there are any problems, we will communicate in time."

The two chatted for a few more sentences and ended the topic of casting.

Chen Xiao then talked to Fang Rong about the tone of the photographic picture and the selection of equipment.

Communicated with the deputy director, production team, and post-production for a while.

Finally, he looked at the assistant director.

The assistant director was the assistant when filming "Farewell My Concubine", named Chi Yu.

"Please rent a venue in the Capital Film and Television City. We will cast and train actors there. The rental ends on November 20, and then we will go to the Shanghai Film and Television City."

"Okay." Assistant Chi quickly wrote down the work.

"Everyone, take a look, do you have any questions?" Chen Xiao flipped through his schedule.

It seems like a lot of work, but it's less when it's divided.

He will give an online lecture to students in the next month.

He will go to cast on the 17th.

He will find someone to set up a company in the middle of next month.

He usually stays with the crew. See if there are any problems with the progress of various aspects and communicate in time.

Compared with the period of "Interstellar", there is less music work, and more attention needs to be paid to casting. Overall, it is easy to deal with.

Everyone chatted for a while and then ended the meeting.

Chen Xiao just got home, lay on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and took a look.

He found that two heavy news broke out on the Internet!

["Farewell My Concubine" and "Interstellar" were both shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. ]

[Cannes Film Festival has added new nomination and award regulations! ]

Click on the second one and you will find that this condition is for him.

"New rule 1: Starting from next year, a director can only be shortlisted for one work in the same unit in the same year."

The Cannes officials gave him face.

The counting will start from next year, so both of this year's films are shortlisted.

"The second rule: Starting from this year, a work can only win two awards in a unit at most."

Understandably, this is to ensure the participation of other works.

Whatever.

I don't have time to care about Cannes now, so I'll take time to go there on the last day of receiving the award to show respect.

Thinking of this, he threw his phone aside.

Chen Xiao didn't care, but this incident caused an uproar in the film and television industry.

Major companies ate melons, some felt inferior and some felt anxious.

The biggest reaction was from the actors.

Two or three hours ago, an actor received an audition invitation from Sun Li.

This news must be hidden.

Even if the actor wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it from the company.

So the news of the audition for "Kung Fu" quickly spread in the circle.

He made three movies, and all three of them were selected into the three major film festivals.

By analogy, the fourth movie will definitely be a hit.

It is simply that whoever joins Chen Xiao's crew will take off.

Moreover, everyone knows that he is going to set up a company. When he sets up the company, the resources will definitely be biased towards his own artists. How can they get their turn?

Even if they are willing to pay the sky-high liquidated damages and leave their current company to find Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao may not be willing to accept it.

So, the fourth film is the best opportunity!

Actors and major film and television companies quickly used their connections to inquire about the roles from the invited actors. And quickly sent an email to Sun Li, trying to get an audition spot.

Half an hour later.

After dinner, Sun Li picked up his phone and looked at it, and his eyes widened immediately.

What the hell?

999+ unread messages on the chat software!

99+ unread emails!

Open the chat software and take a look.

"Teacher Sun, I am Xiao Li who worked with you 13 years ago. Do you remember?"

"Hello, Director Sun, we just worked together last year, and you praised my fighting scenes at that time. Can you give me a chance this time?"

"Brother Sun, I got a good car recently. I want to invite you to go for a ride. Are you free?"

...

999+ messages, except for a few advertisements.

All of them are asking for roles directly or indirectly.

Fortunately, he had cooperated with CCTV many times in his early years and shot three or four blockbusters, so his foundation is very solid.

If it were a young man, how could he withstand the pressure from all sides?

Alas, Wang Rui still lamented being tired.

He is tired as hell! I am the one who is tired, right?

…

At the same time.

In the luxurious gym of Lezhong Company.

A young man in his twenties is lifting weights.

"Yan He!"

The middle-aged man walked in quickly from the door, his face full of joy, "Kung Fu has invited you!"

Yan He put down the barbell, rubbed his shoulders, and said calmly, "Whose movie?"

"Chen Xiao's! Please be the male lead." The agent patted his shoulder excitedly.

Yan He's eyes moved, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Kung Fu? A martial arts film?"

"Yes! You are probably the only one in the circle who can take on this role. But we should not take it lightly and prepare well."

In recent years, there has been no demand for high-standard fighting scenes.

Therefore, there are few young actors who are both good at acting and extremely good at fighting scenes.

But Yan He is an exception.

Although he has not performed fighting scenes in the past three or four years, he likes martial arts and goes to find someone to practice with every week.

This can be said to be the right time, right place, and right people.

They are determined to get this role!
