At ten o'clock in the morning on July 1st, all the senior executives of Longteng Film and Television Company had arrived.

He was already waiting in the conference room early in the morning, and when Chen Yongren pushed the door in, he heard more than a dozen voices saying hello.

"Everyone, please take a seat," Chen Yongren waved his hand and sat down on the main seat.

"Everyone has worked hard during this time, let's start", Chen Yongren went straight to the point.

Subsequently, each department reported on its own development in the first half of the year and some work plans for the second half of the year.

After listening to the report, Chen Yongren arranged the strategic plan of the general direction, and the meeting, which lasted for an hour, ended, and then Chen Yongren returned to the office and began to work on the documents.

Today's Longteng Film and Television Company is already a giant among domestic private film and television companies in terms of volume, scale and valuation.

At present, the company has as many as 2,000 employees, of which more than half are distribution and marketing team personnel and special effects production staff.

At noon, I had a simple meal in the company, and then continued to look at the main business during this period of time, and learned about the company's current development.

After arranging the work, Chen Yongren was idle again, and at present, "Interstellar" is still in slow post-production, and it will not be completed for a while and a half, so Chen Yongren, who can't be idle, began to prepare to shoot a new film again.

July 12th, this day is the day when Chen Yongren made an appointment to meet Chow Yun-fat. As early as a few days ago, Chen Yongren contacted Chow Yun-fat through Liu Dehua.

Because the movie to be filmed requires various powerful actors with superb acting skills to support it, Chow Yun-fat, as a veteran actor in Hong Kong, has good acting skills.

Chen Yongren's current status and strong directing skills, there are countless actors who want to work with him, so when Chow Yun-fat learned that Chen Yongren was invited, he readily agreed.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yongren's plane arrived in Xiangjiang, and then under the leadership of the staff arranged by Liu Dehua, he rushed directly to a high-end club.

In the private room, Liu Dehua and Chow Yun-fat had just arrived, and after Chen Yongren arrived, Liu Dehua enthusiastically introduced the two to each other, and then left early because of something.

In fact, Chen Yongren has also been friends with Fa Ge for a long time, and Chow Yun-fat is very interested in Chen Yongren, the most popular director in the Chinese film and television industry.

Chen Yongren smiled: "Hello Brother Fa, I don't mind calling you that, right? ”

Chow Yun-fat is also kind, he has no arrogance, and he also smiled and held Chen Yongren's hand, and said: "Director Chen, I am fortunate to be happy, I have also admired your name for a long time, I have always wanted to know you, but I didn't find a chance." ”

"Fa Ge laughed, no matter what big names there are, they are all blown by the media," Chen Yongren replied, and then continued: "Actually, this time I asked Brother Fa to come out to meet you to invite you to star in my new film." ”

"New film, your movie seems to have just been completed, right? New film is being made so soon?" Chow Yun-fat was surprised.

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "The completion is finished, but there is still a long time for post-production, and I am a person who can't be idle, so I want to invite you to work together on a movie." ”

Chow Yun-fat didn't agree immediately, and asked with a smile: "Director Chen, is this movie sci-fi or what type of film?"

Chen Yongren returned: "It's a movie from the Republic of China, your character is a landlord bully, which is very different from your previous roles, and it's still a bit challenging, so I don't know what do you think?"

"Land bully?" Chow Yun-fat also asked with some interest.

"Yes, this is a movie about bandits fighting bullies, and it's a very cool comedy action movie," Chen Yongren replied.

"I also brought the script, you can read it first, if you like it, we will sign the contract as soon as possible, and then start filming!" Chen Yongren looked at Chow Yun-fat and said.

"Yes, show it to me first. Chow Yun-fat responded.

Then Chen Yongren showed the script to Chow Yun-fat, watched it for more than ten minutes, and after reading it roughly, Chow Yun-fat closed the book and said to Chen Yongren: "I took this movie." ”

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "I haven't finished reading the script yet, do you want to read it again?"

"No need, after reading it, I probably knew that this was a good book, and this movie must be brilliant!" Chow Yun-fat responded with a smile.

After the two exchanged contact information, Chen Yongren returned to Beijing, and the staff will follow up on the next signing contract.

And Chow Yun-fat also went back and started his career of memorizing lines, after all, as a native of Xiangjiang, he doesn't speak Mandarin very well.

After getting Fa Ge, Chen Yongren held an audition meeting when he went back, and at the same time he also contacted another powerful actor, Uncle Ge!

This Uncle Ge is also a top big horn who is not smaller than Fa Ge.

Uncle Ge is also unprecedented in the history of Chinese films, and his acting skills have been perfected to the point that as long as he starred in the movie, then the movie will be in two situations, one is the plot of the movie itself, and the other is Uncle Ge, which shows his superb acting skills.

Uncle Ge is also a person with a very outstanding temperament, he speaks slowly and methodically, and his words and deeds have his own unique imprint, no matter what type of movie he starred in, the final role will be labeled as Uncle Ge!

Iconic bald head, quite an ordinary person, speaking Mandarin with a bit of Beijing accent, has played countless roles, but what you see is him, this is an actor with a particularly strong sense of presence, no matter what he plays, as long as he acts, then you can't ignore him.

At present, Uncle Ge has won all the actor awards in the Chinese-speaking circle, and he has also won several international actors.

So this movie successfully invited him to star, and the box office was basically stable, although the box office of the movies he starred in before was not as good as the box office of Chen Yongren's first movie, but that was due to the general environment, Uncle Ge's box office appeal is still quite strong.

On July 14, Chen Yongren held an audition meeting at Longteng Film and Television Company, and interviewed all the supporting roles except for the three protagonists.

When the news was announced a few days ago, it caused a shock in the entertainment industry. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were full of opportunities, and they all contacted through various channels hoping to come to audition, hoping that Chen Yongren could give him a chance.

On the day of the 15th, Longteng gathered countless famous actors, large and small, Chen Yongren personally went into battle, looked at them one by one, and screened out all the supporting roles at about seven o'clock in the evening.

A group of horse bandits mixed with the protagonist have all been selected, and the younger brother who has mixed with Fa Ge has also been selected, and several female characters have also been selected.

After the audition, Chen Yongren asked the staff to contact another person, Wang Chuanxin, who was famous for his extremely similar appearance to Chow Yun-fat, and after becoming famous, he participated in many imitation shows, and relied on imitating Chow Yun-fat for several years, and also gained some fame and money.

After arranging for the staff to contact him, Chen Yongren went to visit Uncle Ge in person.

On July 16, Chen Yongren drove to a tea house on the outskirts of Beijing, after all, Uncle Ge was also a literati, so he arranged the location in this suburban tea house far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Ge came alone, without bringing anyone, and put on a hat.

After the two sat down, Chen Yongren held his junior and respectfully said: "Hello Mr. Ge, I have admired the name for a long time and finally met it today, it is really extraordinary!"

Uncle Ge leaned back on the seat casually, and said with a smile without hurrying: "Director Chen, you're polite." Although this is the first time we have met, I have heard of your name, and now no one in the rivers and lakes knows the name of Chen Yongren?"

Chen Yongren touched his nose helplessly and responded: "Uncle Ge said that I laughed, I am far behind you compared to you." ”

"Hey, look, Director Chen, it's good to say this, Uncle Ge is much more comfortable than Mr. Ge," Uncle Ge said with a smile.

Chen Yongren didn't expect Uncle Ge to be such a funny person, so he immediately said: "You also know that I asked you out this time to talk about something, I don't know what to do?"

Uncle Ge slowly picked up the teacup and pecked lightly, while Chen Yongren stared at him, patiently waiting for his response. Looking at Uncle Ge's 'slow' pace, Chen Yongren couldn't help but admire him, in the fast-paced life of Beijing, it is not easy to let himself live a 'slow' and leisurely life!

"I read the book, it's a pretty good book, I took the role of Ma Bond!" Uncle Ge said slowly after drinking tea.

Hearing this, Chen Yongren was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Uncle Ge, thank you for your support." With your support, it is bound to add a lot of color to the movie!"

"I want to ask, how do you arrange the other two characters?" Uncle Ge then asked.

"If the bully Huang Shilang is a lawyer, he has invited Fa Ge to star. Chen Yongren replied.

Uncle Ge replied, "Chow Yun-fat of Xiangjiang?"

"Well, that's him. ”

Uncle Ge rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and sighed: "Director Chen, you have a good vision." By the way, there is another protagonist? Zhang Mazi, who are you going to find to play?"

Hearing this, Chen Yongren responded: "I haven't found it yet, but I want to invite Jiang Wen to star." ”

Uncle Ge touched his bald head and sat up a little straight: "Okay! It's him, he and I will help you get in touch, not to mention that he is really a gangster." ”

"Oh, then I'll thank Uncle Ge here."

"Thank you, he and I have known him for many years, and this time we can star in your movie together, which is also the first cooperation between the two of us, and I am also looking forward to it" Uncle Ge smiled.

The two continued to talk for a while about the details of the film's plot, and then went their separate ways.

Early the next morning, Chen Yongren received a call from Uncle Ge, saying that Jiang Wen had agreed to star, and so far the starring and supporting roles of "Let the Bullets Fly" have all been selected.

In mid-July, it was a scorching summer day, and the scorching sun was baking the earth, which also made the actors who were going to star in "Let the Bullets Fly" extremely excited.

At this time, the summer file is also very hot, and countless movies are singing about the situation of our debut, but the lack of Chen Yongren, the god, also makes countless fans feel a little less, now it is normal for Chinese movies to break 100 million, and there are also more than 1 billion, and the current mainland film market is no longer dominated by Hollywood films!

The opening ceremony of "Let the Bullets Fly" is scheduled for July 25, and these days let them familiarize themselves with their respective roles and scripts. When the opening ceremony is held, when I see the cast, I am afraid that it will cause a sensation in the entertainment industry again...
