"Just this room, the size should be enough, just do what I said, it's best to get it within a few days when I go to Xiangjiang, no problem, right?"

On the 30th, the afternoon plane, at noon, Zhang Bufan went to the studio, and "assigned" a task to Zhang Mo, and then flashed.

Listening to the task given by Zhang Bufan, Zhang Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, first decorating the house, and now he wants to decorate the studio, I feel that if this continues, it will be no problem for him to change his job to decorate.

Here, after instructing Zhang Mo, Zhang Bufan didn't go back, and went directly to the airport and flew to Xiangjiang.

It was none other than Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaoshen who picked up the airport over there, and few people had this treatment to be able to get such two big directors to pick up the plane in person.

As soon as the two sides met, Zhuang Wenqiang smiled and said, "Congratulations, Zhang Sheng, the new film has successfully entered the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival!

"Then I'll borrow your good words. Zhang Bufan said with a smile.

went all the way to Zhuang Wenqiang's studio, and he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point and talked about casting.

"This is the actor we have decided. Zhuang Wenqiang handed Zhang Bufan a piece of information.

Zhang Bufan looked through the information, the first page was Fa Ge's, the second page was Liang Qianmian's, and the third page was Slag Hui's.

On the side, Mai Zhaoshen had already spoken, "We first contacted Fa Ge and Guo Tianwang, Guo Tianwang has already taken over another drama, the schedule can't be scheduled, Fa Ge is free on his side, but ...... Hey ......"

There was bitterness and helplessness in this laugh, but he continued, "He is still the same, in addition to the salary, he also asked his company to join, but he was relieved on the dividends, he didn't ask for 20%, as long as 10%, he also took the initiative to contact us, and he also felt that the role of Wu Fusheng was born for him." ”

In fact, Zhuang and Mai very much want to tell Zhang Bufan that from their point of view, Fa Ge's request is very "reasonable" and completely acceptable, because as long as Fa Ge plays Wu Fusheng, the final benefits will definitely be more than the 10% income dividend!

But they don't dare to say this kind of thing, after all, they are only directors, and they don't even have a script, so they have no say in the matter of money.

Zhuang Wenqiang added: "In fact, inviting Zhang Sheng to Xiangjiang this time is also the meaning of Fa Ge, he wants to talk to the author of the script of "Wushuang" in person. ”

It's no wonder that they have to invite Zhang Bufan to come to Xiangjiang, even if Fa Ge's asking price is so high, they still prefer to choose Fa Ge, coupled with Fa Ge's active invitation, they gave them a reason to invite Zhang Bufan over, they should also hope that Fa Ge can persuade Zhang Bufan from the bottom of their hearts, this is not as simple as persuading a screenwriter, because in their hearts, Zhang Bufan actually represents the capital.

"Brother Fa invited me? Then I have a big face. Zhang Bufan said with a smile: "That's okay, the specific itinerary will trouble the two of you to communicate with Fa Ge." ”

"Okay, okay. Zhuang and Mai nodded again and again, and they already had a little more expectations in their hearts, because in their opinion, no one could refuse him after meeting Fa Ge, this is Fa Ge's personality charm, and it is also the status of a heavenly king.

Zhang Bufan has continued to look at the information in the future, Yu Nan and Liu Haoran appeared on it unexpectedly, and in addition to these two, the other actors are not all from Xiangjiang, including actors from the mainland and Taiwan, Obviously, Zhuang and Mai also took into account the particularity of this movie when casting - the mainland side produces the script and is responsible for most of the funds.

Seeing a page, Zhang Bufan suddenly paused, picked it up and asked the two people over there, "Who is this?"

Zhuang Wenqiang glanced at it and explained: "Zhou Jiayi, a very good actress. ”

"Is she very popular here in Xiangjiang?" Zhang Bufan then asked.

"Uh...... Not bad, isn't it? Zhuang Wenqiang thought about it and replied.

"Do you have any other photos of her?" Zhang Bufan asked again.

Zhuang and Mai glanced at each other, Mai Zhaoshen got up and went out, came back after a while, took a pad, and handed it to Zhang Bufan.

Zhang Bufan glanced at it a few times, raised his head and said to the two people opposite: "I'll just say it directly, this doesn't seem to be suitable for the role of He Weilan, there are two reasons, the first is the coffee position, He Weilan's role in the movie can be said to be second only to the two male protagonists and Ruan Wen, and you should know the actor coffee position of those three roles, right?" Let's not talk about the two male protagonists, let's just say that Ruan Wen, who will play her Yu Nan, has won many international film festival queen laurels, and the starring movie won the Berlin Golden Bear Award, by the way, two years ago, she also played the heroine in Stallone's movie "The Expendables 2", do you think that with this Miss Zhou's coffee position, is she worthy of this role?"

"Secondly, image, I think the two chose this Miss Zhou to play this role, probably mainly out of image considerations, her short hair and makeup are indeed more in line with the ...... Xiangjiang people's perception of female policemen, especially female policemen who can achieve a relatively senior inspector position, the overall style is more neutral, capable, manly, and to some extent, a bit violent. However, I want to say that although the movie "Wushuang" is a Xiangjiang movie, the first thing to consider is the mainland market, followed by the Xiangjiang market, so it is more important to meet the preferences of mainland audiences. ”

Well, what I said before is actually a scene, in fact, to put it bluntly, the most important thing is the last point, this Miss Zhou herself is not beautiful enough, after cutting her short hair and dressing up as a man's wife, it will be even more ugly, looking at her makeup trial photos, Zhang Bufan thought he saw a man at first sight, of course he couldn't bear it.

After all, the role she wants to play has a relationship scene in the movie, if she really looks like this, Zhang Bufan really finds it hard to believe that a rich and handsome man like Wang Yaoqing will like her......

Zhuang and Mai glanced at each other, Zhang Bufan's words were not the same as before, leaving no room at all, that is to say, it is non-negotiable to change this role.

Zhang Bufan finally added, "If the two of you can't find a suitable actor here in Xiangjiang, you might as well take a long-term view, and you can also have actors from the mainland or Taiwan." ”

This matter was decided like this, and the rest of the actors, as in Zhang Bufan's impression, were also in line with the role, Zhang Bufan did not raise any further objections, so most of the actors of "Wushuang" were decided.

Looking at the time again, it was already evening, not long after the hotel, but it was quite efficient.

Zhang Bufan stood up and said, "Let's go eat first, to be honest, I'm really a little hungry." I am still very impressed by the food in Xiangjiang, the last time I came, the director took me to a lot of his treasured restaurants, the taste is really good, if the two of you also have a frequent restaurant, don't hide it. ”

Zhuang and Mai laughed, and Zhuang Wenqiang said: "Zhang Sheng, don't worry, we are ready and promise to satisfy you!"
