"Then who should Liu Yiran choose for this role?" He Liwen asked again.

"What do you think?" For the actor who plays this role, Lin Yuquan himself has no definite idea, in his conception, the role of Liu Yiran is not only a female reporter who has returned from studying abroad, but also a member of the Anti-Qing League, it should be a woman in the new era who is enthusiastic, loves to fight and is full of patriotic ideals, and as the only important female character in "Huo Yuanjia", she should also have a sense of fame and performance, otherwise she will be buried by Huo Yuanjia and will not play the role she should play in promoting the plot. But an actress who is in line with this temperament and is famous and has great acting skills, from the time he conceived the script to the present, he has not found a suitable candidate.

Lin Yuquan then said his selection criteria again.

"Zhao Wei's image seems to be obviously inconsistent, and there are also zài problems with acting, Fan Binbin, beautiful is beautiful, but his fame depends on hype, and he doesn't have his own real works, and his acting skills are also not flattering, as for Zhang Ziyi, I read a report two days ago that the other party seems to be filming "Jasmine Blossom" directed by Hou Yong, and there is no schedule at all. Hey, I'm not a good candidate! It's up to you. Xiao Yang said distressedly, and he vetoed the person who said it.

Ding Zhi, Xiao Ran, and Fang Qing shook their heads, they were not in charge of the casting work, and they were not good at providing advice in this regard.

"How's the weekly news?" He Liwen, who is in charge of the production work, has participated in the casting of several films and TV series of CITIC Film and Television before, so he has a very good understanding of the casting requirements and the situation of domestic performing arts stars at this stage.

"Zhou Xun", Lin Yuquan shook his head with a wry smile, how could he not have considered the four great flowers who were praised by insiders as "Variety Elves", and even in his opinion, Zhou Xun is definitely the "Four Great Flowers", and even the most outstanding actress under the age of forty in the current Chinese film industry. In recent years, she has left a deep impression on him with her superb performances in dramas such as "Daming Palace Ci", "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", "Orange is Red", and he also hopes that the two sides will cooperate.

But Zhou Xun's overall image is still a little different from Lin Yuquan's imagination of Liu Yiran, although he believes in Zhou Xun's acting skills, but seriously, he really can't imagine Zhou Xun playing a hot-blooded female reporter, of course, if you really can't find a candidate, you can choose her.

"I think Xu Jinglei is actually quite suitable." Ning Hao, who rarely spoke, suddenly spoke up.

"I didn't think of that." Xiao Yang patted his thigh with annoyance and excitement and said.

Xu Jinglei, Lin Yuquan was stunned, because Xu Jinglei began to write and direct herself last year, he subconsciously ignored her in the past, but now that I think about it, Xu Jinglei is indeed a very suitable candidate, not to mention her fame, a "Carry on Love to the End" has made her imprinted in the minds of countless people, and she has always been regarded as a relatively aura actor in China, her acting skills are undoubted, and the most important thing is that Xu Jinglei's own temperament is very suitable for the image of a female reporter who returned from studying abroad in his heart.

"Xu Jinglei is also from our Kyoto Film Academy, right?" Lin Yuquan made up his mind and asked Ning Hao.

"I am in the 93rd undergraduate acting class, and I am still working as a teacher in the acting department of the Kyoto Film Academy." Ning Hao said succinctly.

"I don't know this, that's good, Liu Yiran will be Xu Jinglei, wait a minute, I will ask Teacher Jiang Li to help thread the needle, invite Sister Xu to dinner, and ask her about her experience as a director and filming, in addition, Manager He, you are responsible for contacting the main actors I mentioned before, and other aspects are also hurrying up, Director Ding, Manager Xiao, Manager Fang, the three of you will do a good job of cooperating, in any case, by mid-June at the latest, our company's two films must be filmed, come on!"

"Come on!"

Everyone said in unison.

In a high-end café restaurant in Kyoto.

Lin Yuquan looked at the fresh and pretty face sitting opposite him nervously, and next to him, Ning Hao was chatting with the owner of the face, and they had a good conversation.

"Director Xu, I have watched your movie "Me and Dad", in my opinion, its storyline is not complicated, but it revolves around the story between father and daughter from strangeness to attachment to dependence.

"Thank you, but don't call me Director Xu, it seems to be raw, I'm also from Kyoto Film Academy, you can just call me senior sister, speaking of which, I have heard a lot of rumors about you during my recent time at Kyoto Film Academy, and it is also a movie **, but your "Incense" is much stronger than my movie, so you don't have to praise me, in your opinion, in what aspects does my movie have zài problems?" Xu Jinglei smiled heartily unabashedly.

"If you really want me to say, then I won't shy away from it, in fact, in my opinion, the biggest shortcoming of your movie is that some scenes of the story seem hypocritical, although it comes from life, but it is out of life, just like the lines in it, I want your people, not your money" When it came to movie analysis, Ning Hao was also interested and talked endlessly.

Lin Yuquan feels like air, he has always preferred commercial movies, and he has never seen Xu Jinglei's "Me and Dad" before, so he can't interject at the moment, and this time he came with Ning Hao, mainly because Ning Hao has relevant casting experience and can help him very well.

And Ning Hao really lived up to expectations, because it was Xu Jinglei who he mentioned, and his understanding of Xu Jinglei was actually above him, so he was very clear about "Me and Dad" directed by Xu Jinglei.

But seeing that the two seemed to be chatting more and more, he hurriedly glanced at Ning Hao, what is the matter?

Ning Hao made an OK gesture to Lin Yuquan with his left hand under the table, and quickly changed the topic: "Senior sister, in fact, we are here this time, mainly in the hope that senior sister can serve as the heroine of the new movie launched by our Shuguang Film Company, I don't know if you have a schedule in recent months?" Filming will start next month. ”

"Shuguang Film Company", Xu Jinglei was stunned, she had never heard of this company after many years in the entertainment industry, so she asked suspiciously: "Where is your company?" What kind of movie is this movie? ”

"Our company is in Kyoto, and we are going to make a kung fu movie next, Yuquan, the owner of our Shuguang Film Company, and also the director of this movie that invited you to be the protagonist, so let him introduce you to the details!" Ning Hao pointed to Lin Yuquan next to him and said.

Xu Jinglei's eyes widened, a little incredulous, in her surprised gaze, Lin Yuquan smiled brightly, and then teased herself: "I guess senior sister must be thinking in her heart now, how can this young man who has not dried up be the owner of a film company and the director who is about to direct a movie, even if it is, it can be seen that the strength of this film company is definitely not good, and this movie is definitely not very good?" To be honest, sometimes, even I feel like I'm dreaming, half a year ago I was just a student majoring in film and television, and now I have become the owner of a film company, and I am about to direct the first film of my directorial career, this is indeed a very contrasting change, so, senior sister, your thoughts now are normal, in other words, I will not trust a young film company owner and director. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yuquan chuckled, and then continued: "I believe that senior sister will definitely not judge people by their appearance, just because of my age, I will completely deny a qiē, this is the script of the movie, senior sister can take a look, this movie directed by me "Huo Yuanjia" is the first large-scale film launched after the establishment of the new company, the initial investment is expected to be 30 million-40 million, and I invite you to play the role of "Huo Yuanjia", you will play a female reporter who has returned from studying abroad, A character that shows your charisma to the fullest. ”

After introducing the basic situation, Lin Yuquan immediately handed the character script to Xu Jinglei.

Xu Jinglei digested Lin Yuquan's words just now in shock, and opened the script handed to her by Lin Yuquan, and then the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, although she didn't know how this movie could be made in the hands of this director, but just looking at the script, the script was written quite professionally, the lines and scenes in it were simply great, and the image of Liu Yiran, a female reporter who returned from studying abroad, was also vivid and vivid, and the investment of thirty or forty million yuan was already considered a big production in China. As an actor, she is inevitably a little nervous, but when she thinks of the young student opposite who is also a boss and director, she feels a little discouraged.

It's not wrong to be young, but qualifications and experience in the entertainment industry are also indispensable, whether it is acting or directing, it often takes a long time and rich experience to accumulate, and it is difficult for a too young director to believe in his strength, not to mention that he is still the owner of a film company, which is even more absurd.

"Senior Brother Lin Yuquan, your script is very well written, but I need time to think about it before I can get back to you."

"Senior sister, I know you definitely need time to think about it, as an actor, you can't be careless when choosing a script, after all, this determines the direction of your acting career in a big way, but can you tell me, what are the main aspects you need to consider?" Because of the urgency of time, Lin Yuquan didn't have much time to wait slowly, and no one knew how long Xu Jinglei would think about it, and now he urgently needed to assemble the cast in the shortest possible time, so he hurriedly asked.
