Li Xiang invited Zhai Tianlin, who looked a little regretful, to his office alone.

"Coffee, tea, or orange juice?" Li Xiang asked.

"Orange juice will do. "Hey? I think I've heard this stalk somewhere, forget whatever. Li Xiang turned around and poured a glass of orange juice and handed it to Zhai Tianlin.

"The protagonist was not chosen, I have a supporting role, would you like to play it?" Li Xiang also poured himself a glass and asked.

Zhai Tianlin put down the cup that was handed to his mouth, it is obvious that people are apologizing to you, it stands to reason that you did not succeed in the audition, and Li Xiang is not a big name at all, and you are not a big name. So when people give face, you can't help but go around and hurriedly say, "I'm willing, I'm willing!"

"That's good, you leave an email address for the script, and I'll have someone send it when the time comes. ”

"Director Li..."

"Senior brother, have you forgotten that I am also from Radix?"

"Yes, senior brother, when will we start filming this scene?"

"The crew is still preparing, and it will be the end of May and the beginning of June at the earliest, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious, why are you so good and the box office of the movies you make is so high?"

"There's no secret, read more books, read more newspapers, eat fewer snacks, and sleep more!"

"Senior brother, you seem to be teasing me..."

"Hi... Don't say such things, why do you seem to be amusing you! My movie has a good box office performance, which can only be said to be lucky, as for whether the next movie will be a blockbuster, I don't dare to guarantee that what I can do is to show all the sincerity, and the decision on whether the movie is a big hit is always in the hands of the audience. ”

Next, the two chatted about the recent interesting things that happened in Zhai Tianlin, and Zhai Tianlin saw that the time was not early, so he said goodbye and left.

The time slowly came to March, the crew of "Quartet" was prepared, and the young lady went to the crew to report. Li Xiang was not idle, and completed the script of "Genius Gunman" during this time, and at the same time, most of the storyboard script was drawn. During this period, Yindu also called, informing him that the school that Li Xiang needed for filming had been contacted, and asked Li Xiang to take time to go on a field trip.

On this day, Li Xiang was still continuing to improve the storyboard script, and his mobile phone rang.

"Hey, Starke! The preparations for "The Dead" are complete, and filming will officially begin next Monday!" Jason's duck voice came over the phone.

"You've been preparing for half a year, right?"

"But isn't it, this time it's not as simple as "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", the props alone have been prepared for months, this is also buddy's second movie, think about it, it's a little exciting!"

"Without me as your assistant director, can you play by yourself?"

"Don't look down on people, how to say that I am also the one who directed a movie that grossed $50 million worldwide. ”

"I'll do the math, my "Hurricane Rescue" has a global box office of $100 million, "Happy Death Day" is $70 million, and "Hurricane Rescue 2" produced by me.

"Brother Xingke, I mean to kill chickens with a knife?

"I don't have a chance if you want to work, I'm also preparing my new film, it's impossible to fly to North America to help you!"

"Wow, your new film is about to start shooting? You're really prolific, Lionsgate is making money again!"

"My latest film may not get too good results in Europe and the United States, because it is about cheating in our Asian exam room!"

"Isn't that very similar to the upcoming "21 Points"?" "Twenty-One Points of Victory" that Jason said is also a very good movie. The story is about a group of mathematical geniuses who, organized by a professor, form a team of 21-point algorithms. Relying on his own clever mind, he went to the casino to win a lot of money by counting cards. is very similar to his own "Genius Gunman", which is a story of geniuses who rely on their brains to make money, and they also reflect the painful struggle of poor scholars at the bottom.

In addition to the wonderful story in this movie, the professor in it, Kevin Spacey, is one of Li Xiang's favorite actors. This is also a legend for the old actor: in 1995 he won his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the neo-noir crime thriller "Ordinary Suspect", and in 1999 he won his first Academy Award for Best Actor for the mid-life crisis film "American Beauty". In addition to movies, he has also made great achievements in TV series and stage plays, such as Francis Underwood in "House of Cards", which is well known to American drama fans.

It's a pity that what happened later completely ruined Kevin Spacey's image. In November '17, actor Anthony Rip publicly accused Kevin Spacey of attempting to sexually assault him when he was 14 years old. In the wake of Anthony Rip's allegations, many other men have also claimed that Kevin Spacey tried to rape or use violence against them. Due to the outbreak of the Kevin Spacey scandal, Netflix announced that it would suspend the production of a new season of "House of Cards" indefinitely, and also announced that it would terminate the release of the biopic "Gore", which was co-produced with him.

On the afternoon of March 15, Li Xiang took his second sister and the staff sent by Yindu to the Wong Wat South Middle School of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in the 9LC District, which was the third middle school they inspected today. The first two schools, one too small and the other too old, did not quite meet Li Xiang's requirements.

In charge of receiving them was Wen Yingyi, the director of the school's school supervisory committee, a capable professional woman around 35 years old, who spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and was generous and decent. Come to think of it, as an employee of HK's oldest and largest charity, which originated in the 1870s, they do have this heritage.

In the autumn of 1971, Mr. Wong Wah Wat Nam donated $500,000 to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, and the Board of Directors of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals renamed "Tung Wah Group of Hospitals No. 1 Secondary School" as "Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Wong Wat Nam Secondary School" as a commemorative occasion. Ms. Wen introduced the origin of the school's name and took Li Xiang and a group of people to visit the school.

Li Xiang is very satisfied with this school, the school has just been renovated a few years ago, and now it looks very new, and the size of the school is just right, each grade can theoretically open 5 classes at the same time, which is similar to the size of the private middle school he expected. So he asked Ms. Wen, "Ms. Wen, if we want to borrow your school, can you coordinate the specific time?"

"If you want to borrow a school, it will be until mid-June at the earliest, and after the school's exams are over, it won't be early!"

"That's good, the time has just arrived, then I will send someone to discuss with you in detail, the time and cost of borrowing, I hope that we can both receive a satisfactory answer at that time!" Li Xiang said to Ms. Wen with a smile.

"Okay, our school also hopes to provide convenience for your movie!"
