Xu Ke's contemplative demeanor was like a sculpture, Hu Xinzhe had already introduced the ranking of the entire list at this time, and then looked at Lin Youlun with an inquiring gaze.

Lin Youlun stood up and motioned to Hu Xinzhe not to disturb Xu Ke's train of thought, and let him go outside to talk on the balcony.

The sea-view balcony is hidden in the greenery, and the private beach is not far away, and Hu Xinzhe follows Lin Youlun out of the study, to the balcony, standing side by side, looking at the railing.

The blue sea spits white waves, the blue sky is covered with a translucent jasper-like round cover, and the one-kilometer-long sandy beach embraces the blue sea in the shape of a half-moon, and the sand is soft and white as silver.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Youlun took his gaze back from the beach in the distance, and said to Hu Xinzhe who was standing next to him: "Do you know why I left Xu Ke behind?" ”

Hu Xinzhe had been thinking about this question just now, and combined with Xu Ke's various reactions just now, he thought of a possibility.

"Mr. Lin wants Director Xu to select actors from this list?" Hu Xinzhe heard about the movie from Xu Ke's mouth, and he didn't worry that Lin Youlun would think too much about it when he said it at this time.

"It's not strange for Xu Ke to think so, but you're wrong to think so!" Lin Youlun shook his head, but did not go further

Hu Xinzhe carefully understood the meaning of Lin Youlun's words, and suddenly realized where he was wrong, Lin Youlun left Xu Ke behind, saying that it was to provide this list for him to choose actors, but to use Xu Ke's movie to increase the weight of this list in the eyes of the public.

For Lin Youlun's good intentions, Hu Xinzhe felt ashamed in his heart, and at the same time there was a lot of pressure. If this list is not published and the desired results are not achieved. Wouldn't it live up to Lin Youlun's support?

"This time it just happened. There may not be such an opportunity in the future, so you don't have to be too stressed, just do what you have to do. ”

Lin Youlun patted Hu Xinzhe on the shoulder, and Hu Xinzhe quickly nodded yes.

Lin Youlun asked Hu Xinzhe about some things about the "Ming Zhou" magazine, and the two chatted for about half an hour before returning to the study together.

Xu Ke came back to his senses shortly after Lin Youlun and Hu Xinzhe left the study, but he did not take the liberty of going to the balcony to disturb the conversation between Lin Youlun and Hu Xinzhe, but just sat on the sofa. While drinking tea, he rearranged the thoughts in his mind, and at the same time thought about how to talk to Lin Youlun.

Hu Xinzhe took the initiative to say goodbye after returning to the study, and Lin Youlun did not keep him, and instructed Wu's mother to send off the guests on his behalf, while he sat back on the sofa next to the desk and continued to discuss with Xu Ke about the film adaptation of "Zhu Xian".

Xu Ke said the idea of inviting Zhao Yazhi, Wang Guxian, Zhou Comin, and Qiu Shuzhen to be the leading actors, and Lin Youlun expressed his attitude very directly this time and agreed with Xu Ke's proposal, but Xu Ke had to do the persuasion work himself.

Zhao Yazhi said that when she thought of Wang Guxian, Zhou Comin, and Qiu Shuzhen going to make a movie together. Lin Youlun felt an incomparably headache, if he came forward directly. It's going to have to be turned upside down.

But Xu Ke is thinking about another question, Wang Guxian, Zhou Comin, Qiu Shuzhen and Lin Youlun all have some unclear relationships, the three of them co-starred in a movie, who should the actor play?

After thinking about it, Xu Ke felt that Lin Youlun still had to make up his mind about this matter.

"Do you have any suitable candidates?" Lin Youlun pinched his chin and asked.

"What does Mr. Lin think of Liang Jiahui?" Xu Ke said a person.

In the original novel of "Zhu Xian", the male protagonist Zhang Xiaofan is an ordinary-looking, but then relatively silent person, this role needs acting skills very much, and the actor can't be too handsome, and Liang Jiahui just meets these requirements.

To this day, Liang Jiahui still holds a record that no one can break: the youngest actor in the history of the Academy Awards, he reached the top when he made his first movie.

Not counting the three years that he was banned by Taiwan, Liang Jiahui's development in the film industry has been very unsuccessful, it is said that such a result should be considered good, but Li Hanshen, who praised him for his position back then, is still not satisfied, to be precise, he hates Liang Jiahui ironcladly: "I want to praise you to become a star, but you ran to be an actor, no avail!" ”

Of course, if Liang Jiahui hadn't taken the initiative to put down his body to be an actor, maybe Xu Ke wouldn't have considered looking for him to star in "Zhu Xian" this time.

When filming "Ocean's Eleven", Lin Youlun and Liang Jiahui had contact and had a good impression, so as soon as Xu Ke brought it up, Lin Youlun basically agreed.

After finalizing Liang Jiahui as the leading actor in this movie, Lin Youlun thought about it and added: "Aren't there other male characters in the film? I can give you 2-3 places, and then these people can find actors of the level of Zhang Yurong, Liu Dehua, and Liang Chaowei to play, so that the lineup of male and female stars will be more balanced. ”

Xu Ke feels that the current cast is already very strong, and inviting other stars to join will actually not improve the box office of the film too much, but will increase some unnecessary costs. I was about to speak, but after thinking about it, I felt that Lin Youlun had something to say, and the adapted script had not yet been written, could it be that Lin Youlun was hinting at the use of a multi-protagonist narrative mode?

The reason why Lin Youlun made such a request is mainly because he is worried that "Zhu Xian" will become a work like "The Legend of Shu Mountain" in Xu Ke's hands, that movie is completely produced by three-dimensional computer stunts, and the special effects concept shown by Xu Ke in this movie has changed from bold innovation to some extreme and obsessive. The film abandons the integrity of the story, and blindly pursues the gorgeousness of the stunts, which makes the narrative process blurred, and the images are gorgeous but empty, lacking the vitality to shock the audience.

Lin Youlun has hinted to Xu Ke before that he can make a bolder or even subversive adaptation of "Zhu Xian", but he doesn't want Xu Ke to plunge headlong into the cycle of pursuing the ultimate visual effects, thus ignoring the importance of the film's plot.

There is a more important reason that with the current level of special effects skills, it is not difficult to make the effect of "The Legend of Shu Mountain" in 2001, but the cost will definitely be frighteningly high. It's not that Lin Youlun can't afford the money to shoot such a movie, but it is really difficult to recover the cost of making such a movie, and the fundamental reason is that movies with the theme of Xianxia can only be accepted in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle, lacking universal values, and European and American audiences will definitely not understand and accept it.

So for now, Lin Youlun is more inclined to make "Zhu Xian" into a movie similar to the style of "The Heroes of the Storm", which can make some gains in the Asian market, and it is enough to do some technical accumulation for local technical films.
