The launch of the first promotional film heralded the official start of the propaganda war before the release, and a few days later, Lu Ze went to the imperial capital and other provinces to cooperate with the crew to carry out propaganda work.

Because of the fame of the three directors and the strong cast, this film has indeed achieved proud publicity results before it was released, whether it is online or offline, as long as "Find You" is mentioned, a large part of the crowd will instantly remember, and suddenly nodded and answered.

"You're talking about human trafficking, I know. ”

But this type of film will definitely not be a popular type of movie, because the heavy storytelling and the illegal acts that people are most disgusted with are all taboos in the hearts of ordinary fans.

Not many people who just occasionally watch movies to pass the time will go to the cinema to watch the movie and find themselves unhappy, and the people who can pay for this movie are basically loyal movie lovers and fans of the actors.

But except for the fans of Lu Ze and the three directors, the average age of these old movie fans is around forty or fifty years old, and people in this age group have basically been excluded from the film market from the profit group.

So some people predict that the box office of "Finding You" and "Alive" should be on the same level, not too different, and they are popular movies.

However, this has nothing to do with Lu Ze, after all, he did not share the box office of the movie, and the profit of the movie is really not as important as word of mouth.

After participating in several publicity work, Lu Ze returned to the magic capital and refocused his work on Qianshijia's new film plan, and after signing a shooting contract with the company, the name of the film was officially decided.

Rise of Humanity: The Shadowy Wilderness.

This film is not a complete story, but the first part of the epic war, telling the story of the tenacious rise of human beings in a fictional world under the oppression of alien races.

As the beginning of the film, the beginning of suffering, the first part is the darkest and most depressing part of the entire war, and the living conditions of human beings are miserable.

In an era when there was no sunlight, no rain, the earth collapsed, and it served as rations for aliens, there were demons eating people outside, and there were constant wars inside, and people used their children as rations, and the darkness was a mess.

With the birth of the Son of God, he will lead the tribe to integrate internal contradictions, defeat external enemies, and lead humans to gain a firm foothold in a world infested with demons, and establish a city that belongs to humans, and this is the end of the first part of the story.

And the next story, whether to shoot or not, depends on the results of the first part, but if a sequel is really made, the investment in the second part should be more than double the funds of the first part.

Because with the gradual expansion of the worldview, the scene of the war will become more and more huge, and even under the plan of the five screenwriters, in the last big war, human beings should be like the Zerg, by women continue to give birth to children, and use spells to mature, the next generation of men enter the battlefield, the next generation of women continue to give birth, such a cycle, each newborn is about half an hour.

In the end, it was a huge war between hundreds of millions of humans and demons, using a large number of special effects, and the speed of burning money was definitely not slower than the crematorium refining furnace, it is estimated that by then, Qianshijia will really not be able to eat this movie by one company, and it needs to be co-produced with other companies, but that is in the future, it is not certain whether it will be filmed or not, it is too far.

On August 1, Lu Ze came to the company to prepare for the audition of external film artists to come to Qianshijia, and the number of interviews was as many as 170 people, divided into three days, and auditions were conducted in batches.

.......

"It's over, thank you for participating, please go back and wait for news. ”

Bai Xiqun glanced at Lu Ze's eyes, folded the artist's information in his hand, knocked it on the table, stretched out his hand and handed it to the actor who came to the interview, and asked him to leave.

It wasn't until the young man put his resume in his bag and left with a bitter face, and closed the door, that Bai Xiqun glanced at Lu Ze and tried to ask.

"I thought that person was pretty good just now, what do you think is not good?"

"The line skills are good, the strength and intensity of the action are also very good, the control of micro-expressions is slightly insufficient, but the problem is not big, his biggest problem is that he likes to hook his fingers, this should be his subconscious action, and it will be shown inadvertently when he speaks, just like some people like to nod their heads when they speak, the academic school can't even change their own subconscious actions, and I don't know which teacher taught him, in short, I don't think he's qualified. ”

Lu Ze picked out the fault of the young man who auditioned just now, in exchange for the wry smiles of Bai Xiqun, Feng Changhao, and He Guohui.

In their opinion, Lu Ze brushed down a lot of good seedlings, which was a little too strict, and even to put it mildly, Lu Ze always had the meaning of picking bones in eggs.

But what they don't know is that Lu Ze has actually relaxed the requirements for actors, just the actor who auditioned just now, if Lu Ze really wants to pick a thorn, he can catch the frustration and weakness in the second half of the line that the young man said just now, and there are no more than ten or twenty problems all over his body.

After all, he is a young man, and he does not have the same systematic help as Lu Ze did when he was young, and his ability is a little lacking, of course, Lu Ze can understand it, but with private signature actions that do not conform to the script, Lu Ze can't accept this.

This is a young actor from the academy, in the four years of college career, if you listen carefully to the lectures, you will definitely be pointed out by the teacher and corrected, but he still maintains this habit, what does this mean?

It shows that this young man is very talented, but he should not be the kind of student who likes to listen to lectures so much in college, and he is not serious about professional classes, and he is always playing tricks.

Lu Ze already has more than a dozen oil bottles hanging on his body, and he is powerless to mention this kind of young actor who has a history of stealing and cheating, so he simply finds someone who doesn't need to mention it, and also lightens his burden.

Although from the frowning brows of the young man just now and the clothes he was wearing that Lu Ze rented out in a private styling studio two or three years ago, it can be seen that his career development should not be very good, and he should have had a difficult time recently.

But the casting is not miserable, Lu Ze can't give him the role just because he pities him, otherwise he will be the one who will be dragged down in the end, and Lu Ze also relied on his own personal ability to get the role during the most difficult time, and no one has ever pitied him, this industry is like this, you can do it, you can't get out, from beginning to end, it has not changed.

For three consecutive days, more than 150 actors were interviewed, this is indeed a manual work, Lu Ze felt that he was about to sit out of hemorrhoids, rubbed his face, took the cigarette handed over by Feng Changhao, reached out to turn on the exhaust switch on the wall, and just wanted to call the next audition actor in, but was interrupted by Secretary Li Shanjun who suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.

"Secretary Wang, what's the matter?"

"This is the list given by Mr. Liu to the four, Brother Lu, take a look, I'll go first, everyone has worked hard. ”

The black high heels made a clattering sound when they stepped on the marble, Lu Ze took it with a frown, and motioned for the three of them to look at it first, but the three of them waved their hands and refused, so they could only open the folder by themselves, look at the words and pictures on it, and read it out.

"Tiancheng Media Co., Ltd.'s studio, Zixin Studio artist, Pei Minghui...... That's not the ...... Is it the captain of any girl group?"

Lu Ze was embarrassed to say the five words "nothing", but he was vague for a moment, turned the folder sideways and showed the other three people the one-inch photo on the document.

"This ......."

Bai Xiqun also made a difficulty, holding a cigarette in his hand, flicked the cigarette ash into the disposable paper cup on the table, and looked at Feng Changhao and He Guohui, who didn't say anything, just sat with their heads bored, and deliberately turned the phone out and pulled it twice.

Lu Ze stood up the document, shook it twice, and a small note fell out of it, and he glanced at it alone, with the words Guo Mingde written on it.

Helplessly, he picked up the lighter and lit the small note, threw it into the ashtray to see it burn out, picked up the disposable paper cup and poured some water on it, opened the folder, used a stapler to book Pei Minghui's resume, handed it to Bai Xiqun, watched him stuff the resume into the middle of a stack of resumes, shook his head, got up and opened the door, first waved his hand to the three of them, and then shouted outside.

"Okay, there is only one left this time, Xiaofei, Zhu Lan's interviewer let them all leave, and call the next audition actor in. ”

walked through the back door, Lu Ze also walked through, of course, not the back door.

At the beginning, I was happy that I had a relationship, but now, Lu Ze feels more and more troubled, there are nine artists within the company, there were originally fourteen role vacancies, and Li Shanjun stuffed five of them, and finally only nine were selected, the relationship between Guo Mingde who just came and left, what do you let Lu Ze do?

Pei Minghui is okay, Lu Ze has heard that this girl is Guo Mingde's niece, when it comes to seniority, she still has to call Lu Ze uncle, the key is the one He Ruikuan sent in, Lu Ze didn't know how to look at her directly after the crew met, so he could only scold He Ruikuan behind his back.

is almost sixty years old, it is not enough to have a twenty-eight-year-old wife at home, and he has raised a nineteen-year-old girl outside, Lu Ze feels that he is only thirty years old, and he is not as addicted to this shit as He Ruikuan, the old man, is embarrassed to stuff this bastard thing into other people's crews, which is really shameless.

The interview lasted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and when there were still more than a dozen actors left in the interview, the last role was finally given, and Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that the last one could only pull out the big one among the short actors in the interview, but I didn't expect that there was no need to pull it out, the big man came by himself, and it saved four people to discuss it again, and now he can get off work.

"Lu Ze, tomorrow the Emperor will be the emperor, right? I wish "Find You" the top reputation. ”

The three of them also knew that it was a bit difficult for "Finding You" to be a box office hit, so they changed their words to bless it, and Lu Ze understood it, shook hands with the three of them, turned around and left the company, and went to the underground parking lot.

Sit in the driver's seat, close your eyes, let out a long sigh, open your eyes, fasten your seat belt, ignition, gear, fuel, and go home.
