Chapter 52: Role Selection

Ye Jianren is the boss of the company and an investor, and Xu Ke certainly wants to ask for his opinion on casting.

"Requirements, of course, it's best to use actors in the company, not only to save money, but also to help them become famous. Hua Manlou asked Liang Chaowei to act, and Sikong picked up stars for Zhou Xingchi. Ye Jianren said.

"Then does Lu Xiaofeng Yesheng have a suitable candidate?" asked Xu Ke.

"Lu Xiaofeng's words, I want to ask Zheng Shaoqiu to act. Ye Jianren said, "I've seen him play Chu Liuxiang before, and I think with his image and style, there should be no problem playing Lu Xiaofeng." ”

"Zheng Shaoqiu may not have a schedule. Xu Ke poured cold water.

"There is no schedule, how can it be?" Ye Jianren said in surprise, "Hasn't "Chu Liuxiang" already been broadcast, and I haven't heard any new dramas about him recently. ”

"Last year, Zheng Shaoqiu didn't sleep for seven days and seven nights because of the filming of "Chu Liuxiang", and Ye Sheng knew the news that he was sick and hospitalized, right?" asked Xu Ke.

"Of course I know, this incident was so big at that time, Zheng Shaoqiu actually got liver disease because of rushing to work, and the entire entertainment industry was shaken. Ye Jianren said.

Prior to this, Zheng Shaoqiu and Golden Harvest signed a contract for two years and three films, and then participated in "Famous Sword" directed by Tan Jiashu, but was called back to shoot "Chu Liuxiang" by wireless in the middle of filming. After the filming of "Chu Liuxiang", Zheng Shaoqiu recuperated for a period of time, and is now continuing to shoot "Famous Sword" in Golden Harvest. ”

The corners of Ye Jianren's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that the words he had fooled Liang Chaowei before would turn out to be a prophecy, Zheng Shaoqiu really had no schedule.

"Then Xu Sheng, who do you think is good to play Lu Xiaofeng?" asked Ye Jianren.

Xu Ke lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Actually, I think Liang Chaowei can play Lu Xiaofeng, I have seen his previous performance in "Nightclub", there should be no problem." ”

"Liang Chaowei?" Ye Jianren touched his chin, "Isn't it too young?"

"This can be changed with makeup. Xu Ke said.

"That's good, even if Liang Chaowei comes to play Lu Xiaofeng, who will play Hua Manlou?" Ye Jianren asked, "You can't let Zhou Xingchi play Hua Manlou anymore, and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Jianren couldn't help but think of the picture of Zhou Xingchi playing a full building in his mind, and he laughed, if there is a spoof version of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" in the future, he can give it a try.

Xu Ke also touched his mustache and fell into thought, there are two most difficult characters to interpret in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", one is Ximen Fuxue, who is infatuated with swords, and the other is the warm and jade-like flower Manlou.

Although he is blind, he is optimistic and positive, and always seems to have a faint smile on his face. Every time he appeared, everyone's mood became calm and beautiful, as if even the air became sweet. Whenever he speaks, you will feel like a spring breeze, as if you are listening to a beautiful piece of music, making you forget the troubles of life.

This is a son of a family who has a thorough understanding of life, and his heart seems to have no hatred, this is not a compassionate Virgin, but more like a martial arts version of "God loves the world".

It is really difficult to find an actor in Xiangjiang who can perfectly interpret Hua Manlou, and it is even difficult to connect closely.

"Yes, I know who to find to play the full house. Ye Jianren's eyes suddenly lit up and said.

"Who?" Xu Ke asked impatiently.

"Zhang Guorong!" Ye Jianren slowly spit out three words.

"Zhang Guorong?, that Zhang Guorong?" Xu Ke exclaimed.

"Could it be that there is a second Zhang Guorong in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry?" Ye Jianren said, "I have seen Che Suisheng played by him in the Six Tribulations of Floating Life, with a weak and aristocratic appearance, and his image is very suitable for playing Hua Manlou." ”

But his acting skills don't seem to be very good. Xu Ke hesitated.

"It's up to you as a director. Ye Jianren patted him on the shoulder and said, "I remember that your girlfriend Shi Nansheng seems to be from Li's TV station, and she is also her own person, so the task of persuading Zhang Guorong to appear is entrusted to you, and it is best to sign him." ”

"Me again?" Xu Ke pointed to his nose.

"Those who can work harder. Ye Jianren smiled.

"You're the boss, you have the final say. Xu Ke just complained casually, but he didn't really want to refuse. Because in his opinion, it is not difficult to recruit a well-known TV actor and his girlfriend to pull the fiber in it.

"There is another character, does Ximen Blowing Snow Leaf always have any suggestions?"

"Ximen blowing snow!" Ye Jianren said in a long voice, "Just leave him alone, the first two will not appear anyway, even if the candidate is determined now, if the schedule can't be vacated at that time, it will be in vain, let's wait until he is filmed." ”

"Good. Xu Ke nodded.

Since then, the main roles of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" have been decided, and neither of them has mentioned the heroine in a word from beginning to end, because in their opinion, the heroine of this movie is dispensable, as long as she looks good, whoever plays it is the same.

"Due to the temporary shortage of manpower in the company, the crew has to be formed by yourself. Ye Jianren said.

"There's no problem with that. Xu Ke nodded, he also entered the industry and made two movies, and it was not a big problem to form a crew, "Where did we choose the filming location?"

"Shaw's Clear Water Bay. Ye Jianren said.

"Clear Water Bay, can Tycoon Shao agree?" Xu Ke exclaimed.

"I may not agree now, but if nothing else, I will agree in a few days. Ye Jianren had an unfathomable smile on his face.

Xu Ke didn't ask why, there are some things that the boss is willing to tell you and he will take the initiative to say, if he is not willing to tell you, it is useless for you to ask, but it will add to the bad feeling.

"Ye Sheng, I still have to prepare for the filming of the movie, so I will leave first. Xu Ke stood up and said goodbye.

"Okay, there you go. Ye Jianren nodded, "Remember to come to the meeting in the afternoon." ”

The time of the meeting was set at two o'clock in the afternoon, because it was the first meeting, Ye Jianren waited in the conference room early, wanting to take advantage of the meeting to cheer with the newly hired employees before the meeting started, and collect people's hearts.

The first one to come in was a young man with two mustaches, Ye Jianren recognized him at a glance, Chen Xunqi, an expert in Xiangjiang film soundtrack, compared with later generations, his appearance is not much different, but he is younger.

"Chen Sheng, welcome to Jianren Film Company. Ye Jianren immediately greeted him with a smile.

Chen Xunqi had long heard that the boss of Jianren Film Company was a young man under the age of twenty, and he knew that he must be him when he looked at the tone and attitude of his speech.

"Thank you Mr. Ye for giving me the opportunity to direct the movie. Chen Xunqi also walked over to Ye Jianren and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

"This opportunity was not given by me, it was won by Chen Sheng's own talent. As long as Chen Sheng finds a suitable script, I will definitely fund you to direct it. Ye Jianren stretched out his right hand and shook Chen Xunqi casually, but he didn't expect a huge force to come from Chen Xunqi's hand, and he looked up at Chen Xunqi suspiciously.

"I heard Mr. Lai say that Mr. Yip has been practicing Wing Chun since he was a child, and his hands are itchy for a while, and he can't help it. Chen Xunqi scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Chen Sheng is really a wonderful person. Ye Jianren laughed, but muttered in his heart, he had to try his hand when he met the boss for the first time, and he was either really naΓ―ve or didn't take himself seriously.

The second group of brothers Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei arrived, one of them was withdrawn and the other was silent, but they had been anxious about Meng, Meng was not defocused, and their relationship was very good, Ye Jianren was very curious about how they usually got along.

"Xingzai, how are you doing?" asked Ye Jianren.

"Idle panic, no filming. Zhou Xingchi said with a bitter face.

Zhou Xingchi's expression is half true and half fake, because it has been more than one since the filming of "Nightclub" ended, and the company has no next step, which is indeed a torture for a young man who is energetic and eager to become famous.

"Alright, don't play around. Ye Jianren patted his head, "The company is now preparing a new drama, or you and Wei Zai are partners." ”

"What am I playing?" Zhou Xingchi's face immediately changed and he said curiously.

"A thief. Ye Jianren said with a smile.

"Thief, isn't it!" Zhou Xingchi complained, "The last part asked me to play a fake robber, and this time I played a thief." ”

"Why, don't you want to? If you don't want me, I'll change people. Ye Jianren said.

"I am willing to do it, as long as it is Mr. Ye's request, I am willing to play a beggar. Zhou Xingchi said with a hippie smile.

"You kid is here again, look at how steady Wei Zai is. Ye Jianren smiled and shook his head.

"He's not steady, he's too nervous to speak. Zhou Xingchi teased.

"Haha. Ye Jianren and Chen Xunqi both laughed, while Liang Chaowei touched his head embarrassedly.

Next, Cheng Xiaodong, Shen Chengdong and others also arrived one after another, and Ye Jianren chatted with everyone a few words, impartially.

At two o'clock, everyone came, which meant that the first meeting of Jianren Film Company was officially held.
