After Director Zhu left Tan Zhengzhong, he opened a professional casting company with a few peers, called CT Studio, because everyone has connections, and last year he took over more than 20 projects in the circle, half of which are good teams or big productions.

Naturally, CT Studio's reputation followed.

Qin Zhengfeng approached Director Zhu a few years ago and asked him to be fully responsible for the casting of "Redemption of Love".

"Redemption of Love" is not only Xingyue's first film, but also his first cooperation with Lin Su, Qin Zhengfeng doesn't want a little mistake in the future, so he personally participated in the discussion every step from the beginning of the film project.

When he received the script a few years ago, he held a panel meeting on the film, and everyone discussed the next step, focusing on the casting of the film.

Originally, the team decided that the casting director of the company would be in charge, but Qin Zhengfeng rejected the proposal, and finally outsourced the casting work to CT Studio, and named Director Zhu to be in charge.

In addition to believing in Director Zhu's professional ability, he also had other considerations.

That is the label of "decay" on Huang Jing's body.

And his "decline" is mainly manifested in the actors of the work.

Therefore, the casting of "Redemption of Love" suddenly became a top priority.

After thinking about it again and again, Qin Zhengfeng still felt that Director Zhu was more suitable for this project, he had been a casting director for more than ten years, and he was more professional than Xingyue's selection director in every aspect.

Moreover, he also knew that Director Zhu was responsible for the casting of Lin Su's previous works, and the old partner cooperated again, which was naturally full of tacit understanding.

The casting of actors is also reassuring.

After CT Studio received Xingyue's request for cooperation, it transferred the project to Director Zhu, and he decided to take the project when he saw that the screenwriter was Lin Su.

On the same day, he signed a contract with Xingyue.

And he also took advantage of the fact that he finished reading the script a year ago, and by the way, he wrote a biography of the main characters to ensure accuracy and select the most suitable actor for the protagonist.

Director Zhu has been a casting director for so many years, and he has worked with many actors, and he has been in contact with countless actors.

He also has dozens of actor atlases in his hand, which have general labels and annotations for each actor.

During the Spring Festival break, he preliminarily selected the actors for the main roles, and also provided three alternative actors for each role.

When he returned to work after the New Year, after discussing with Xingyue, he contacted these actors as soon as possible.

Chi Yixun is the first actor contacted by Director Zhu, not only because he is the male lead, but also because everyone is acquaintance, and he and Lin Su also have a great relationship, and in terms of personal relations, there is a great possibility of cooperation.

Yu Gong, Chi Yixun is still working hard in the TV drama circle, but his strength can be on the big screen, and now there is an opportunity in front of him, and the quality of the book is also good, he must seize it.

Therefore, Director Zhu wanted to finalize that he should be the easiest.

It's just a good start to the casting work.

However, the result was a big disappointment.

He didn't expect Chi Yixun to reject the project at the first time, and the reason given was that there was no schedule, which made him unable to continue to work.

After Director Zhu was rejected, he was smoking depressedly when Lin Su's call came.

He subconsciously thought of the casting question, immediately picked it up, and said very officially: "Teacher Lin, what advice do you have when you call suddenly?"

Lin Su paused and continued: "Director Zhu, we haven't worked together for more than a year and we're so unfamiliar, you have started calling me teacher, I used to call Xiaolin or Lin Su." ”

"Haha......" Director Zhu listened to her slightly whining tone, and immediately laughed, joking: "We used to be colleagues, but now you are my Party A." ”

"It's a collaborator and a friend. ”

Director Zhu laughed a few more times, and his tone became familiar, "Xiaolin, tell me honestly, do you have any actors in mind about the role of this movie?"

Judging from his previous cooperation experience, he still trusts Lin Su's casting vision.

"Not really. ”

Lin Su explained softly: "I cooperated with Xingyue this time, and handed over all the preparations for the project to Mr. Qin, and the casting side also notified me before the actors were determined." ”

Hearing this answer, Director Zhu couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Originally, I wanted to finalize Yi Song's candidate first, and Chi Yixun was decided, but his agent refused, and I could only choose a suitable one from the alternatives. ”

Lin Su also spoke: "Brother Xun contacted me over there, he really hit the schedule, and he booked a year ago to join the group in two days." ”

"It looks like we're a step late. Director Zhu really admires Chi Yixun, and also thinks that his literary temperament is very suitable for the role of Yi Song.

Lin Su smiled, "There must be suitable actors waiting for us to excavate." ”

Of course, she also wanted Brother Xun to star in her own movie, but she didn't expect this when she helped him fight for the opportunity, and what he wanted to enter was a movie directed by Zhang Anyu. To be honest, she hopes that Brother Xun will choose Director Zhang, because his movies are both word-of-mouth and box office harvests, and he will also win major domestic film awards.

Brother Xun's choice of Director Zhang's movie will be more beneficial to his future development.

Zhang Anyu's movies have always been rarely promoted, except for revealing that the male protagonist is Xu Qiang, the other actors have not announced it, so Director Zhu doesn't know about it.

He said with emotion: "I think it is more suitable for Yixun to make a movie, he is currently the emperor of the three major TV festivals......"

Lin Su thought for a while and revealed: "His next work is a movie." ”

"Oh?" Director Zhu was a little surprised, and felt very reasonable after a little relief, "That's right, he should also go to a higher level, he didn't have resources before, but now that he has cooperated with Ren Tang, he naturally wants to seek a higher breakthrough." ”

Lin Su continued to smile, "He has his own arrangements, and he won't disappoint everyone." ”

As soon as Director Zhu heard this, she understood that they had a close personal relationship, and she must have known a lot of behind-the-scenes information, so she didn't say more, and said with a smile: "I'm still worried about my own work, I hit a wall just after I started it." ”

"It's just the beginning, I believe Director Zhu. ”

After Lin Su finished speaking, he thought about it, and then asked: "Director Zhu, how many roles do you want to choose actors?"

"Originally, there were six, in addition to the male and female protagonists and supporting actresses, according to the roles in your script, there are three supporting roles that also need professional actors, and the other roles can be performed in mature groups at that time. However, for the role of supporting actress, Xingyue said that there has already been a candidate. ”

Director Zhu lowered his voice and asked her, "Do you know this?"

It is a very common phenomenon for an artist company like Xingyue and an artist of the company's drama company, but I don't know what Lin Su thinks.

"I know, Mr. Xingyue Qin mentioned to me before that actor happened to participate in my last play, and his acting skills should be okay. ”

"You just know it. Director Zhu was relieved when he heard that she knew.
