While the Cannes Film Festival was being held warmly, news from other aspects was also passed to Lin Yuquan.

After a long period of various procedures, CBS finally signed a production contract with Summit Entertainment for a total of 12 episodes of the first season of "Sherlock", which is expected to start in the fall in early September.

At the same time, the preparation of "Weakness" is also nearing its end, Michael. The central role of Oher was finally chosen as Quinton, who played in "The Underground Boxing Ring". Aaron, born on August 15, 1984, is 24 years old and has the same name as Michael. Oher also has a staggering height and weight, a height of 2. 03 meters, weighing 167 kg, fully competent for the role. The process of finding Quinton Aaron is quite difficult, and Gavin O'Connor said that finding an actor of this size is like "God opening his eyes".

Another crucial character, Leigh Anne Taussy, was identified by Sandra. Bullock starred, not Julia. Roberts, mainly considering the big mouth's super high salary and the performance of not having a box office success for a long time, as an important film that Summit Entertainment values very much, naturally will not bet on Julia. Whether Roberts can rejuvenate his box office appeal in "Weakness". Relatively speaking, Sandra. Although Bullock is also in a trough, judging from her repeated wins in the Teen Choice Award in recent years, she has a strong influence in the youth community, but she lacks good works.

The rest of the cast has also been selected, and according to the filming plan, "Weakness" will start filming in early June, finish in mid-July at the latest, and then be released at the end of November.

There is a lot of good news, and there is also a lot of headache news, the casting of "Step by Step" has been completed, and filming will start in mid-June. When it comes to its casting process, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult, because Tonghua's original novel writes the main characters too perfectly, which greatly increases the difficulty of casting, and after a long period of screening, it was finally determined.

Of course Ruoxi didn't say it. The calm and introverted, deeply hidden fourth master chose Wu Qilong, the breeze and the moon, and the gentle and jade-like eighth master chose Zhong Hanliang, who is literary and elegant, has extraordinary martial arts, but has no coveting the throne, and the thirteenth elder brother is determined to be played by Luo Jin, who is chic and rebellious, and the fourteenth elder brother who dares to love and hate is played by Zhu Yawen. The ninth elder brother who has little cleverness and no great wisdom is played by Zhang Han, the straightforward and simple tenth elder brother is played by the popular singer Ma Tianyu, who debuted through "Come on Good Boy", and the role of Kangxi, who does not have too many scenes, is played by Zhang Guoli, Maltai. Ruolan is played by Jiang Qingqing...... The director who controls the overall situation is Zheng Xiaolong.

Overall, this is naturally a luxurious main creative lineup, plus the production of Dawn Films, which is guaranteed by high-quality products, and the total production cost is at least 60 million. Therefore, as soon as the filming of "Step by Step Shocking" was announced, it immediately became the most high-profile screen commercial blockbuster in recent times. It attracted almost all the first-line satellite TV in China to consult and buy, hoping to grab its star broadcast rights, and all the prime-time theaters aimed at it were David TV. According to the traditional way of buying dramas, some are jointly purchased by four satellite TVs, and some are asked for exclusive broadcasting at high prices, such as CCTV, Xiangnan Satellite TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and Jiangsu Provincial Satellite TV.

And that's not all. As a super popular online novel with hundreds of millions of clicks, the starring actors are also highly well-known star lineups, which naturally sparked heated discussions among the public, and the voices of admiration and anticipation are undoubtedly the mainstream, but there are not no places to complain. Among them, the biggest complaints undoubtedly focus on Wu Qilong and Zhong Hanliang, one of them is 39 years old, and the other is 35 years old, and fans of the original novel generally think that the two are older, which does not match the character prototype in the novel, and does not match the 22-year-old Liu Shishi.

But this is not a headache for Lin Yuquan, unlike ordinary book fans, he thinks that the actors for the two roles of the fourth master and the eighth master are very good, in "Step by Step", the story spans as long as 20 years, from youth to middle age, young actors are often difficult to control the role, and the two who are in the age of thirty are just right.

And both of them have very rich acting experience, Wu Qilong debuted as a member of the Little Tigers in 1988, and has achieved excellent results in music, and then his performance in the film and television field after flying solo is also quite extraordinary, "Xiao Shiyi Lang" and "Chivalrous Girl Breaking the Sky" are among the masterpieces. Zhong Hanliang's situation is similar to Wu Qilong, both of whom have achieved outstanding results in the fields of music and film and television, and the film and television representative is "Against the Cold" and "Rose Jianghu", he has also been selected as the candidate for the young marshal Murong Feng who is the actor of "Bi Ci Shen", and after filming "Step by Step", it is expected that he will be put into the filming of "Bi Ci Shen" in November.

What really makes Lin Yuquan feel a headache is time, the length of the script of "Step by Step" is 40 episodes, according to the normal shooting schedule, it takes four months to shoot, and it is expected to be completed around mid-October, according to the routine of costume dramas, the post-production cycle will take at least half a year. If it's an ordinary drama, the problem is that according to his idea, he hopes that "Step by Step" will be broadcast within the year, obviously, this will never be achieved according to the conventional process.

"Boss, if you want to start broadcasting before December, the only feasible way is to edit while shooting, and post-processing at the filming site, but to ensure quality on the premise of hurry, and the difficulty coefficient is very high." Qiu Qingyi's voice came from the phone, and his tone seemed quite a headache.

As a director, Lin Yuquan naturally knows how high the difficulty coefficient is, once he chooses to do so, the post-production staff need to endure high-intensity work, and even a good rest will become a luxury, especially Zheng Xiaolong, who is the director, who is not only busy shooting, but also staring at post-production, with his physical condition, it is estimated that it is difficult to eat.

But no matter how difficult it is, since he has decided to help Shi Shi swipe the screen and become the hottest ratings queen on the TV screen this year, no matter how difficult it is, he must fulfill his promise.

"Tsing Yi, as you said, while filming and editing, while carrying out various post-production work, no matter what, I want to see "Step by Step" broadcast on TV at the end of November at the latest, in order to complete this, regardless of the cost to provide the greatest human resources support, Director Zheng is estimated to be unbearable, you discuss with him, and then invite an experienced costume director to co-direct, and cooperate with him to do a good job in shooting and post-production." Lin Yuquan said undoubtedly.

"Okay, boss, I'll set it up right away." Qiu Qingyi said straight, it is difficult to return, since Lin Yuquan, the big boss, has explained, what he has to do is to go all out to complete the work.

It will definitely succeed, hanging up the phone, Lin Yuquan's eyes froze.

Liu Yifei pouted slightly, although Lin Yuquan was also very good to her, but seeing that he was good to other women, he still felt delicious in his heart.

"Brother Yuquan, when will Liu Shishi come over?"

"Soon, it should be just a few days, and she will come over after accompanying her parents." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, after finishing the filming of "Love Defense", Liu Shishi flew back to Kyoto, and when she finished filming the scene in "The Immortal", she will devote herself to the filming of "Step by Step".

"Oh!" Liu Yifei's tone was incomprehensible.

Lin Yuquan smiled, he didn't know what Yifei was thinking at this time, he reached out and held Yifei's hand in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's continue the topic just now, the role you play tomorrow is very important, and the biggest difficulty is to grasp the psychology of the character" (to be continued.) )
