286 casting

There were six large round tables in the courtyard, and a new actor like Li Xinyi consciously sat on the side, so that Zhou Xiaochuan, who was not familiar with her, wasted a lot of effort to find it.

At this time, Li Xinyi was sitting at the dining table in the corner of the courtyard chatting with an actor, to be precise, the actor kept chatting with her, they were all actors from the same crew, and the seats of the two were next to each other, and Li Xinyi had to be perfunctory.

Most of the actors who can be actors are more extroverted, plus the male actors are generally not bad-looking, many people like the actresses of the chat crew, and it is best to get their hands on them, and if they can't get them, they have nothing to lose.

Just when Li Xinyi was a little impatient to deal with it, the assistant director walked to the side of their table, and before Zhou Xiaochuan could speak, the actor who was chatting with Li Xinyi stood up suddenly and said, "Director Zhou, what do you command?"

"There's no need to stand up, sit down and talk, I'm not here for you. Zhou Xiaochuan waved his hand, different from the courtesy in front of Chu Chu, in front of these new young actors, he was still very majestic.

"Director Zhou, good!"

"Director Zhou, why don't you sit at our table. ”

"Yes, Director Zhou, I've wanted to have two drinks with you for a long time. A couple of young actors complimented.

For everyone's compliments, Zhou Xiaochuan is still very useful, to be honest, if he just drinks and eats, he would prefer to be with these little actors, who doesn't want to be held and respected, a good toast by a director, what is a man fighting for his career, one is to let his family and himself have a better life, and the other is not just for noodles?

"Another day, the table over there can't do without me, and there will be opportunities in the future. Zhou Xiaochuan habitually waved his hand and said.

Although the atmosphere of eating at this table is better, but the table just now symbolizes the status in the crew, if he sits at this table to eat today, it is estimated that there will be rumors tomorrow that the assistant director and the director are not in harmony, and they are not even qualified to go to the main table, thinking that there may be such rumors, Zhou Xiaochuan immediately dispelled this decision.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaochuan still decided to get down to business first, turned his head to look at Li Xinyi on the side, and said, "Li Xinyi, don't be at this table, come with me and sit over there." ”

"Director Zhou, what did you say?" Li Xinyi was slightly stunned, and did not react for a while.

"Come with me to the main table and sit down. Zhou Xiaochuan said.

"Ahh

Li Xinyi heard it clearly this time, but she was very surprised, and said, "Director Zhou, why did you let me sit at that table?"

"Don't ask so much, it's the producer's order, you can hurry over. Zhou Xiaochuan passed the word, and she didn't bother to explain more to a little actor, and she didn't dare to refuse when she thought about it.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan leave, Li Xinyi came back from her shock, and guessed in her heart that there were two producers present, who would call her over.

Turning his head and glancing at the position of the main table, there was still a vacant seat on Zhou Qiang's right hand, and said secretly, could it be that Zhou Qiang asked me to pass, what is he going to do?

As for Chu Chu, although he came to the crew a lot of times, the two only said a few words, and most of the time Chu Chu sat on the sidelines, quietly watching the filming.

Li Xinyi and Chu Chu don't have much intersection, and they don't have any interests and grievances, she doesn't think that the other party will call herself over alone on this occasion.

"Xinyi, do you know the producer surnamed Zhou, why did he let you sit at that table?" asked the actor who was chatting with Li Xinyi with a curious expression.

"I don't know. Li Xinyi said perfunctorily, she doesn't have time to deal with this chatty man now, if there is any benefit to leaving this table, it is a matter of being able to be clean.

"Xinyi, then you have to have more eyes, don't get drunk. The actor lowered his head and whispered.

"I see, thanks. Li Xinyi answered, then stood up and walked towards the position of the main table.

At the same time, Li Xinyi also muttered a little, I don't know what Zhou Qiang asked herself to do in the past, so she won't tease herself like she did last time in the audition.

Thinking of this, Li Xinyi couldn't help but be a little worried, and felt that the whole person was not good.

After a while, Li Xinyi walked to the main table, stood behind the vacant seat next to Zhou Qiang, coughed lightly, ......and said, "Mr. Zhou, are you looking for me?"

Zhou Qiang, who was talking to Chu Chu, was stunned for a moment, looked up at Li Xinyi, and said secretly, what you said was obviously Chu Chu who called you, why did I look for you?

Hearing this unprovoked question, Guan Jiayun couldn't help but smile, obviously Chu Chu called Li Xinyi, why did Li Xinyi think that Zhou Qiang called it? In fact, the last time he auditioned, he vaguely felt that Zhou Qiang and Li Xinyi might know each other, and following this speculation, he opened his mouth and asked, "Li Xinyi, did you know Mr. Zhou before?"

Li Xinyi thought that Zhou Qiang had called her here, and she was not good at concealing it, and said, "Well, Zhou and I are always fellow countrymen, and we have met twice before." ”

"No, we've had dinner together, right?" The imagination of people who make movies is not bad, Guan Jiayun joked with a smile.

Hearing Guan Jiayun's meaningful words, Li Xinyi couldn't help but blush, thinking that Guan Jiayun already knew that Zhou Qiang released his own pigeons and let himself eat the overlord's meal, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in, and said secretly, Zhou Qiang, this guy, come over by yourself, isn't it going to take the opportunity to make fun of yourself?

"Mr. Zhou, if you have anything, just say it directly, if it's okay, I'll go back first. Li Xinyi was a little displeased, but all beauties have a little temper.

"You shouldn't tell me this, it was Mr. Chu who called you over. Zhou Qiang raised his head, glanced at the other party, and said.

"What, did Mr. Chu call me?" Li Xinyi opened her small mouth, looking a little overwhelmed.

"Yes, so as soon as you came over, you said that Mr. Zhou was looking for you, I felt a little strange, and asked casually, I didn't expect you to really know Mr. Zhou. Guan Jiayun said with a smile.

Li Xinyi lowered her head, her face was red, she was a little embarrassed, she didn't know what to say, she made trouble for a long time, and Zhou Qiang didn't dump herself, but she sang a one-man show by herself.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry, I made a mistake. Li Xinyi pondered for a moment and said modestly.

"It's okay, Director Guan is teasing you, don't take it personally. Chu Chu smiled, pointed to the seat next to Zhou Qiang and said, "I asked you to come, sit there steadily." ”

"I know, thank you, Mr. Chu. Seeing Chu Chu's words to solve the siege, Li Xinyi showed a grateful smile.

At the same time, I was also very curious, what happened to Chu Chu calling him over, although the two of them knew each other, but because of the big identity gap, there was not much contact before.

Li Xinyi's arrival was just a small episode, and Chu Chu was just a temporary idea, and after saying hello, he turned his head to talk to Zhou Qiang again.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think of my previous proposal?" asked Chu Chu.

"The project that Mr. Chu can see must be good, count me in. Although Zhou Qiang's funds are limited now, and there are still shortcomings in this movie, it is generally a rare investment project, Zhou Qiang decided to agree first, and the province has passed this village, and there is no such store.

"Mr. Zhou, are you so happy, you didn't even read the script, and you agreed?" Chu Chu blinked his eyes and asked.

Chu Chu thought that after he asked Zhou Qiang, Zhou Qiang would propose to read the script first, and then consider whether to invest, who would have thought that Zhou Qiang would be so neat, and agreed to the investment proposal in one bite.

"I believe in Mr. Chu's vision, if the script is not good, can Mr. Chu see it?" Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

If others said this, Chu Chu might just listen to it as a sycophant, but when she heard Zhou Qiang say this, she was very useful, because Zhou Qiang not only said it, but also made a decision very happily.

"Mr. Zhou, I think we can invest our funds in the name of the same company, so that we have more say in film production and distribution, what do you think?" asked Chu Chu.

"No problem. Zhou Qiang nodded.

"Then it's settled. Chu Chu said with a smile.

Producers can be divided into two kinds, one is the nature of the ticket investors, they only care about whether they can make money, do not care about the quality of the film itself, and will not interfere too much in the filming of the film;

The reason why Chu Chu chose Zhou Qiang was that he valued the fact that Zhou Qiang didn't like to take care of things, except for a trip to the set on the day of the investment, he never showed his head again, which is exactly the partner Chu Chu hoped for.

Cooperating with Zhou Qiang can not only reduce investment risks, but also increase the amount of investment, and occupy more say in the movie, which is exactly what Chu Chu is looking forward to.

"Mr. Chu, what stage has this movie reached, and have the actors been chosen?" asked Zhou Qiang.

This is what Zhou Qiang is most concerned about, because according to the records in the diary, the biggest hidden danger of this movie is the casting of the movie.

"It's already being chosen, but it's still in the early stages, and many roles haven't been decided. Chu Chu said.

"It's good if you're not sure, if you really sign a contract with the actor, it will be troublesome. Zhou Qiang said secretly.

"Mr. Zhou, I have already read the script of Catching Demons, and I am going to find a few suitable actors from our crew and bring them to audition in the Catch Demons crew, how do you feel?" Chu Chu said

"Who are you going to take with you?" Zhou Qiang asked.

Hearing Zhou Qiang's words, the eyes of the actors at the same table lit up, and the young actors at the next table turned their heads and listened with their ears pricked up, for fear of missing a word.

Li Xinyi, who was sitting at the main table, couldn't help but get excited, and said secretly, Mr. Chu, let yourself sit at the main table, do you want to recommend yourself to audition for the Demon Record crew?

However, his eyes inadvertently swept over Zhou Qiang, and Li Xinyi's mood fell again, what if Zhou Qiang didn't agree? )
