Let Ning Hao go to "Flying Tigers" as an assistant director, which is a kind of compensation for Ning Hao by Li Mu, as he said, now people in the national film and television industry, except for those who want to pretend to be forced first, basically want to drill into the crew of this movie, this project is indeed a great opportunity to learn, gild, and become famous overnight, such an opportunity, I undoubtedly have to arrange it for Ning Hao.

Ning Hao is also very grateful to Li Mu for taking care of him, he has gone from an unknown newcomer to being selected by Li Mu, and has followed Li Mu step by step to today, all the promises made by Li Mu to himself have almost been doubled, although the release of "Crazy Stone" has been postponed, he doesn't blame Li Mu at all, he knows that Li Mu must have his reasons for doing this.

Now, Li Mu has provided himself with such a good opportunity, which has made Ning Hao more confident in following him all the way to the end, before he is ready to be the boss, there is nothing luckier than finding a good boss.

At this time, Li Mu said again: "There is a third thing, you say hello to Huang Bo and Tang Wei, I arranged two supporting roles for the two of them, Huang Bo plays a local Chinese farmer, and Tang Wei plays a Chinese female nurse." ”

These two are both contracted actors of Makino Imaging, such a good opportunity naturally can't just be cheap outsiders, Huang Bo's image of a farmer when he played "Bullfighting" is three points, and he will definitely be brilliant in playing a farmer in "Flying Tigers" with his acting skills, and Tang Wei is also very suitable for the image of a female nurse, and Li Mu is also very confident in her.

In addition to the two of them, Li Mu is also going to arrange a role for Su Yingxue's cousin Wang Xinran, Wang Xinran is studying in film school, she has filmed "Those Years" before, her performance in it is remarkable, and the box office of "Those Years" has set a new record in the domestic film box office, which makes her have a certain popularity now, it is better to strike while the iron is hot and give her a good opportunity.

As soon as Ning Hao heard that Huang Bo was asked to play a peasant, he immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Boss, Huang Bo is really amazing when he plays a peasant, no matter what kind of peasant, I think he can play in his true colors!"

Li Mu smiled: "Are you hurting him or praising him?" ”

Ning Hao said with a smile: "Half boasting and half loss! But he is indeed suitable for the role of a farmer!"

Li Mu nodded and said, "There is a more important matter, that is, the selection of the Chinese male lead, I now have a rough candidate, you help me with the staff officer." ”

Ning Hao immediately sat up straight and asked curiously, "Boss, who is the actor you tend to for this role?"

For the movie "Flying Tigers", the most important thing among the Chinese actors is a man and a woman, Ning Hao knows very well Li Mu's preference for Du Wei, so she has long been determined by Li Mu to play the heroine, and others cannot have any competitiveness, so the male lead has become Ning Hao's biggest mystery, he especially wants to know who he will choose to play the leading role with Li Mu's vision and requirements.

However, one thing is certain, no matter who is selected by Li Mu to play this role, for that actor, he will be super lucky! It will definitely make the actors in the entire film and television industry envious of madness......

Under Ning Hao's expectant gaze, Li Mu smiled and said, "An actor named Liu Ye, have you heard of it?"

"Liu Ye?" Ning Hao's brows furrowed slightly: "I can't think of it, I don't have any impression." ”

Saying that, Ning Hao nervously asked, "Boss, are you looking for a newcomer to act in this play?"

Ning Hao didn't say the second half of the sentence, he felt that the Hollywood lineup in "Flying Tigers" was extremely strong, if there were not a few actors with awesome acting skills on the Huaxia side, and when the film came out, the acting skills of the Chinese actors were likely to be fully crushed by Hollywood actors.

Li Mu saw that his expression was a little worried, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew what he was worried about, so he said: "Liu Ye is not a newcomer, he acted in a "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" a few years ago, do you have any impression?"

"Oh, he!" Ning Hao nodded hurriedly and said, "I know him, Chinese opera, but I don't remember any name." ”

Ning Hao tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and said: "This young man's acting skills are still okay, he can be regarded as first-class in this wave of young actors, but he is still a little immature, boss, you see, Du Wei is very young, Huang Bo and Tang Wei are also very young, plus Liu Ye, how can you play against other Hollywood actors, Tom Hanks will not talk about it, just one Leonardo is enough to crush it, if our acting skills can't be suppressed at that time, it will look a little embarrassing." ”

Li Mu nodded: "It's a problem, even if the acting skills of young actors are passed, the heat must be much worse, and I'm afraid that if I play against Hollywood actors, my momentum will be suppressed......"

Thinking of this, Li Mu said: "You can invite old actors like Chen Baoguo, Wang Zhiwen and Chen Zhiming to come over to play the role of officers of the national army, the acting skills of the old actors are still very OK, let them play against Tom Hanks, as for several young actors, the cycle of this movie is very long, which can only force them to accelerate their growth during this time." ”

Ning Hao sighed softly and asked him, "Boss, this is still a bit risky, don't you really consider Hong Kong and Taiwan actors?"

Li Mu shook his head: "Don't think about it, don't say anything else, the accent alone is a big problem, this movie must be the whole film at the same time, who can be competent for this? I don't want the Huaxia Flying Tigers in the movie to have a Hong Kong ......and Taiwan accent in their mouths when they take off to fight."

Ning Hao was stunned, and then said helplessly: "This is indeed a big problem, there are not many people who are suitable for this role, and if you want to speak Mandarin, there are really no candidates." ”

Immediately, Ning Hao said again: "But Liu Ye is not bad, if this kid can work hard to grasp this opportunity and play extraordinarily, I think it is OK, his acting skills, image, temperament, and voice are more in line with the requirements of this role, the only thing is that he is almost hot." ”

"Hmm. Li Mu nodded and said, "I can't find a more suitable person than him for the time being, you can help me make an appointment with him to meet, if he is willing to play this role, I want him to terminate the contract with the current brokerage company first, and then sign in to Makino Impression." ”

"Good. Ning Hao said: "I'll find someone to contact him." ”

……

Liu Ye has been very fulfilling recently, for a young actor who has just come out of school for a few years, he has been smooth sailing in recent years, starring in "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" before graduating, just graduated and filmed a "Lan Yu", and then won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, and last year he acted in a "Balzac and the Little Tailor", and this movie was even shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award.

The three movies have honed Liu Ye's acting skills to a certain extent, but the more embarrassing thing is that these three movies are not commercial films, so his popularity in China has not reached the height that a Golden Horse actor should have, but fortunately, he has just taken over the Haiyan drama "What to Save You, My Love" directed by Zhao Baogang, the TV series is now in the hit stage, although the movie is not popular, but the TV series is indeed popular, which also makes him active and film appointments, and has the potential to become an instant hit.

Liu Ye's agency called him to the company today and gave him a script, a well-known domestic photographer is ready to change careers to become a director, ready to make a literary film with the theme of educated youth, hoping that he can play the male lead.

The agency is actually not very interested in this movie, they just routinely give the script to Liu Ye to see, so that he can understand in advance, but from the company's point of view, I still hope that he can take over a commercial film, his first three movies are all literary film routines, applause is not popular, some things that the general public may not like, the company was also worried that the image and positioning of his literary films will be deep-rooted will affect his future development, fortunately, a TV series made him finally popular, so the company hopes that he will strike while the iron is hot and make a commercial film with the potential to sell well。

However, Liu Ye himself really wants to take over this movie, although he is a hard-working actor, he is not shrewd in judging the prospect, he just thinks that the subject matter of this movie is quite deep, and he likes such a role with a certain depth.

As soon as the agent Wang Lan saw Liu Ye read the script, he directly moved the intention of taking over the filming, and hurriedly persuaded him: "This movie will not start filming for a while and a half, don't worry about it first, the company wants to run a commercial film for you recently, hurry up and change your acting path, you will always act in literary films, don't think about getting ahead in the film industry." ”

The Chinese film industry is far from commercialized enough at the moment, and the space for the box office market is very small, but the more this is the case, the more it gives the agent a stronger sense of business, because if the market is good, you can eat enough with a casual shoe polish, but if the industry is not good, and you don't have the ability to grab food from the dog's mouth, then you will have to starve to death.

In these years, the budget of literary films is basically low, and the salary of the leading actor is also low and scary, tired and tired of filming for a few months, getting a pre-tax salary of tens of thousands of dollars, to be honest, it is not enough for the company to worry about it, and the most important thing is that it is really far away to rely on this kind of movie to get ahead.

The directors of many literary films generally make a million investments, make a movie and hope to send it to an overseas film festival for an award, and then raise their own value.

Liu Ye saw that his agent objected, so he smiled and said: "Anyway, there are no good commercial films to start filming now, if this film can start construction in the first half of the year, it will be almost over at the end of the year, and it will be okay to start taking on commercial films from next year?"

Wang Lan sighed lightly: "Yes, there are no good commercial films recently, "Flying Tigers" is about to start filming, this unprecedented blockbuster is here, no one in China dares to start the shooting of a new film at the same time as him......"

Liu Ye also sighed yearningly: "It would be great if I could play a role in "Flying Tigers", if I could play a member of the Flying Tigers, as long as I show my face, even if I don't have a line, I will get my wish!"

Wang Lan smiled: "Don't dream, I don't know how many people have sharpened their heads and want to go in to play a role, we have nothing to do with Makino Image, there must be no drama." ”

Liu Ye laughed at himself and said, "If people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?"
