798 [Casting Problems]
Xu Wenhui's new film didn't even have time to start filming, and just by announcing the name of the film, many shrewd advertisers called to inquire about the situation.
Hearing it from Shi boy's mouth, Xu Wenhui let her refuse without thinking about it.
Just kidding, the advertisers who come to advertise are all Xiangjiang advertisers, and Xu Wenhui doesn't look down on them, but he just doesn't think they can afford the money.
As a movie with a target of hundreds of millions of dollars, Xu Wenhui doesn't think that the bosses of Xiangjiang can afford that money.
Xu Wenhui wants advertisers, and he has to bid globally, so that interested businessmen from all over the world can compete.
However, Xu Wenhui ignored this kind of trivial matter, but handed it over to Shi Nan and her team to be responsible.
Xu Wenhui started the next day, officially formed the original team of the Xu family class, and transferred the elite of the group just to shoot "Home Alone".

And the most important audition, Xu Wenhui and assistant directors Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei were examiners together.
The secondary actors Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei have already helped him choose. Only the little protagonist and the two stupid thieves are left unchosen.
However, several options have been finalized.
The first to come in was a fat man in his twenties, slightly chubby and with a somewhat funny expression.
"Zheng Zeshi?" Xu Wenhui looked at his information, but he didn't expect it to be a 'fat cat'.
This person Xu Wenhui is no stranger at all, everyone knows that his name is "fat cat", so much so that he forgets what his real name is, he is a drama all over his body, and everyone who has seen it will give a praise, he is Zheng Zeshi. Like most fat actors, he started out to play tricks, but he did a line of love, a line of dedication, and won two Academy Awards with his excellent acting skills.
Xu Wenhui asked, "What movies have you acted in before?"
Zheng Zeshi's face did not have the simplicity of playing the 'fat cat', but his eyes were shrewd, and he said with a smile: "I am here, in 72, Longbow Pictures held the first actor training class and began to debut. Two years ago, he participated in the feature-length drama "Crazy Tide" for the first time, playing a private detective. I've played so many small roles that I can't even remember. ”
Xu Wenhui asked: "Then what kind of roles have you played?"
Zheng Zeshi said confidently: "Director Xu, I have played everything, driver, cook, thief, robber, policeman, beggar, ......"
Get!
A veteran of the trick.
"Leave a name. Xu Wenhui said after a deep sigh.
Zheng Zeshi asked with some surprise: "Don't you want to watch me perform?"
"No need. Xu Wenhui said with a smile.
After the person left, Huang Baiming spoke: "Boss, the thief boss actor still has two spares, don't you finalize them after seeing everyone?"
Xu Wenhui shook his head and said: "The play "Home Alone" does not have high requirements for acting skills, but this Zheng Zeshi's image still meets the requirements, and he has been an actor for many years, so he is definitely competent. Of course, I didn't say anything about finalizing him, for the time being, if there is no better role, he will be it. ”
Xu Wenhui seemed to have seen this Zheng Zeshi before, but he forgot a little.
In fact, Xu Wenhui admires another actor Lin Xue even more!
This guy is a passerby, he can be seen in many movies, and many people think it's fun after watching his performance!
However, Lin Xue has her own seriousness, from passers-by to amateur, from amateur to professional, from professional acting to awards, it is not easy!
Xu Wenhui admires him very much, and also thinks that this role is quite suitable for him.
However, this kid, although Xu Wenhui doesn't remember how old he is, he debuted very late, and he may still be a little kid now, and he will definitely not be able to play this role.

The role of two stupid thieves and thieves, Xu Wenhui chose for a while, and they were all a little hesitant, except for Zheng Zeshi, who didn't make his eyes shine.
At noon, I watched several things that didn't satisfy Xu Wenhui, not because of his acting skills, but because he didn't pay much attention to his acting skills, this movie.
It's mostly a matter of image.
Xu Wenhui said: "Eat lunch first, and then look for it after eating!"
The thief is okay, but the actor of the little protagonist gives Xu Wenhui a headache.
Because the leading actor has to take into account the problems of the subsequent sequels, he must attach great importance to it, and he must be an actor that Xu Wenhui is familiar with, and he must be the kind that can be cultivated if he has achievements in the future.
However, although the four or five little boys picked by Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei, who are very discerning, are very clever, perhaps Xu Wenhui is too impressed by Macaulay King!
I always felt that the children interviewed were not satisfactory to him.
Fortunately, Xu Wenhui is not in a hurry, so the selection of actors can be selected slowly, not necessarily within a few days.
"Yes! Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei said respectfully, especially Zeng Zhiwei, who had just joined the Xu family, couldn't figure out Xu Wenhui's temperament, and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Xu Wenhui, Huang Baiming, and Zeng Zhiwei went to the canteen of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City to eat together.
At present, the film and television city has gone through several months of construction, and although the overall facilities have not yet been completed, the administrative building, canteen, and staff dormitory building have been almost completed.
The leading contractor is the brother who took Xu Wenhui at the beginning.
When Xu Wenhui was still a black household, this Ji brother was for Xu Wenhui, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated.
Although Brother Ji's team was very small and was originally not qualified to contract the construction of the film and television city, Xu Wenhui still handed over this job to him.
Brother Ji is also very powerful, 24 hours a day, 24 hours a day to stay in the small tin house built by the film and television city, wholeheartedly supervise the team, the construction of the film and television city, with his efforts, the construction progress of the film and television city is fast.
Xu Wenhui looked at the countless employees in the canteen and nodded secretly.
"At present, we have an area of 655,000 square feet and a total gross floor area of 1,100,000 square feet, which consists of an administration building, a cinema, a post-production centre, an exhibition hall and five recording studios. Huang Baiming followed behind Xu Wenhui and whispered to the newcomer Zeng Zhiwei.
"It's so big! bigger than the Shaw Brothers Cinema in Repulse Bay!" Zeng Zhiwei exclaimed.
Huang Baiming continued: "Well, our canteen is divided into two floors, and it is only for officially hired employees who work in the studio. The first floor is a large cafeteria, and the second floor is an elegant and comfortable tea restaurant. In total, the canteen has to solve the problem of eating for thousands of employees, actors and crews of the company. ”
Xu Wenhui was about to walk to the tea restaurant upstairs, but in a corner, he saw Zhou Yanfa and Wu Mengthai chatting with a familiar young man.
"GOOD AFTERNOON, BOSO. Zhou Yanfa and Wu Mengt, as well as the young man, said respectfully.
"Fa Zai, what about dinner after filming?" Xu Wenhui greeted Zhou Yanfa first, after all, the two of them are the relationship between the boss and the employee on the surface, but they are friends in private.
