On July 9th, Liu Dong and his entourage of four people came to a mid-range hotel in Huairou District Film and Television Base to start the first stop of the four auditions: "Jiangshan Beauty".

"You may meet two acquaintances when you audition later, you should be careful!" Li Manyuan admonished as she walked on the way to the hotel.

"Oh, and acquaintances?"

Liu Dong's curiosity is not pretending, if history has not deviated, the first acquaintance is Donnie Yen, in memory he is the hero of this film, so who will the other one be?

Li Manyuan didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "The news I received before, Donnie Yen is fighting for the male lead in this film, you must be restrained." ”

"Don't worry, I'm afraid I'll beat him to death!" Liu Dong joked.

said so, but remembering that Donnie Yen had jumped up and down to attack him in the past two days, Liu Dong's heart was furious, and he made up his mind that if he had the opportunity, he would never let him go.

"And what about the other one?" Liu Dong then asked.

"It's Guo Xiaodong, he's just as much fighting for this role as you are!" Li Manyuan said.

It's that guy, the entertainment industry is really small, you can meet this again.

Li Manyuan didn't care what he thought in his heart, and then said, "Actually, you are not suitable for this role now, but the audition invitation from the crew has already been sent, so it's hard to refuse, so you can deal with it casually when the time comes!"

Indeed, if he still plays Deng Zhi in "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", he will naturally have to work hard, but now he is already the leading actor and the second male lead in a production of hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is really unnecessary to take another male third of the same scale.

"That's okay, I know!" Liu Dong nodded, anyway, the box office of this film won't be very high, if you don't take it, you won't accept it!

Walking into the hotel, the staff of his own crew took him to the dressing room to prepare, and as expected, he really saw Guo Xiaodong again.

"Yo, hello Brother Dong, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!" Liu Dong stepped forward to greet him familiarly, and patted him on the shoulder with his right hand.

However, before Liu Dong slapped his hand, he felt Guo Xiaodong's body tremble obviously.

"You... What do you want to do!" Guo Xiaodong looked at the other actors in the dressing room, and said boldly straightened up.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a hello old friend!"

Seeing Guo Xiaodong's nervous look, Liu Dong was a little amused.

Liu Dong shrugged, didn't bother Guo Xiaodong, and sat quietly in a chair waiting for the makeup artist to arrive.

Guo Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, he had suffered enough last time in the crew of "Casting a Name", but he couldn't tell others yet.

Only this time, it is estimated that there is no hope.

Guo Xiaodong remembered that the producer and director of this film were Chen Kexin and Cheng Xiaodong respectively, and he was afraid that he would not be able to compete with Liu Dong.

He has all played the leading role in "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", why do you still want to grab this No. 3 role!

Guo Xiaodong, who originally thought that he had cooperated with the producer and director, and was full of confidence, couldn't help but feel frustrated.

It didn't take long for the makeup artist to arrive on time, put on the armor and makeup of several actors, and stuffed a sword in each hand.

Liu Dong twisted his body and felt that the armor on his body was a little ill-fitting, and it didn't look like new, and he probably didn't know how many crews he had experienced.

The audition started immediately, and Liu Dong happened to be at the bottom of the line this time, feeling a little bored watching the people in front of him go in and out one by one.

There are also auditions for 3 movies, the premieres of two movies, and two TV series, maybe a few variety shows, and after these things, I have to go back to Susu to continue filming "The Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor".

Fortunately, he is not the protagonist of these films, so he doesn't have to follow him to the roadshow, otherwise he will really lack skills.

This time he became the leading actor, and he will not take on these supporting roles in the future, taking advantage of the gap before the release of "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" to take on the No. 2 role of a big production, if the box office is okay after the release of these two movies, he will have the opportunity to become a real actor.

It's just that.

The box office of "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" doesn't seem to be too high, I don't remember how much, it should be less than 100 million!

With an investment of 100 million, even if the mainland box office can break 100 million, Xiangjiang will take more than 10 million, which will not even return half of the cost.

Films with the theme of the Three Kingdoms should be good at the box office in Southeast Asia, especially in South Korea and Japan, and with the audio-visual rights in Asia, it should be no problem to recover the cost.

The film was co-financed by Berner and China Film, and there are several other small investors, who also distribute the two together.

Berner will definitely be able to make money, after all, there are distribution fees and theater income, if China Film can sell the film to Europe and the United States, even if it only adds up to three or four million yuan, it will be a considerable income.

In this way, it should not be difficult for me to take over the film from Berner in the future, after all, I have made money for others.

Moreover, even if the film loses, it is also Li Rengang and Liu Dehua's pot!!

Then the next movie should think about it, and it is best that the mainland box office can pay off.

But this is basically unlikely, with an investment of 100 million, the mainland box office will take nearly 300 million to return to the cost.

As for small and medium-budget movies, they can only be comedies, do you want to shoot "Crazy Racing"?

Isn't that nonsense, even if Ning Hao is blind, he will definitely not pick it up, isn't that a pit for others and for himself!

"Liu Dong!"

Just when Liu Dong was thinking about his future path, he suddenly heard someone shouting his name, and quickly came back to his senses.

"In!"

There was no one in front of him, Liu Dong answered the call, straightened his helmet and strode towards the audition room.

"Hello Director Cheng!"

"Director Chen!"

Cheng Xiaodong and Chen Kexin, the two continued to work together once after "Casting a Name", but this time the director became Cheng Xiaodong, and Chen Kexin took the position of producer.

As for why Chen Kexin didn't go to the post-production of "Casting a Name"?

It is estimated that Huang Jianxin did it for him!

Chen Kexin didn't respond with an expressionless face, but Cheng Xiaodong greeted him quite happily, "Well, Liu Dong, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Yes, Director Cheng, I haven't seen you for a few months. ”

Liu Dong was a little unaccustomed to Cheng Xiaodong's enthusiasm, and they didn't have a lot of intersection in the crew, but they still answered very politely.

"Then let's not say much, you should have understood the role of Yan Huba, briefly tell me your understanding!"

Any audition, whether you want to take this role or not, must be taken seriously, otherwise it will be disrespectful in the eyes of others, Liu Dong naturally came prepared, organized a tone in his head at the moment, and spoke.

"There is no doubt that Yan Huba is a careerist who is desperate for the throne, but he is not a brainless reckless man!"

"According to his own words, his own is not a personal ambition, it is an ideal, an ideal for the Great Yan Kingdom!"

He was ruthless enough to kill the seriously injured King Yan, hoping to succeed to the throne, but King Yan's edict was passed on to the princess, and he immediately instructed someone to make the princess disappear. ”
