Ning Huan actually said this idea more than once, he thought like this in his previous life, and he would probably work in this direction in this life, otherwise, what literature major would he study? He didn't choose to be a director directly, but was ready to start as a screenwriter, because in his concept, it seems that graduating from the directing department can't be an outstanding director, because as a director, it seems that kung fu is beyond learning the director himself.

Shen Zhenghui gave Ning Huan this opportunity, and at the same time, he also showed the preferential treatment he received as an excellent director, but Ning Huan seemed to focus on women.

"Now we still have Jerry as a character unchosen, do you have any special requirements? Director. Thomas broke the silence that permeated the casting scene, "I see you write about choosing a child who is about sixteen years old and seems to be smart enough and has a flexible mind, and that condition seems a bit broad. ”

"I also made a point of choosing an actor with black hair and black eyes, preferably looking like a Roman." Shen Zhenghui replied.

"I think Harry Potter is a good fit." Thomas replied.

"Oh, forget it, his face doesn't look shrewd at all." Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders.

"I can find a dozen blonde kids, and even the red-haired ones I can make up for ☆▽ ten, with black hair and black eyes," Gordon shrugged his shoulders as well, "Why don't you just find a little actor in China?" ”

Shen Zhenghui was a little helpless, "It's really difficult to find an actor in China who has a deep face and lines, meets the aesthetics of Westerners, and also meets my other requirements." He replied.

"Why don't you try it with Mark?"

"His looks and temperament don't quite match."

"Then use his brother."

"His younger brother is suitable for the role of Enleko." Shen Zhenghui replied.

"I think," Gordon added, "it's too risky to have an Asian boy as the main character, and I think you might consider changing Mario's character, and I think Jerry would be fine." He also looks smart, too. "Then we chose a nice white kid to play the role of Enleko, handsome enough to look like a woman, and if we couldn't do it with makeup, we could probably just get a girl to play it." ”

"If Cate Blanchett hadn't been eighteen by now, I'd consider you." Shen Zhenghui replied.

"What's the matter with her?" Gordon was a little dazed, "She's going to play Enleko." Too big, right? ”

Shen Zhenghui forgot for a moment that Cate Blanchett had not starred in "I'm Not There" at this time, and she won the Venice Award for Best Actress for her role as Bob Dylan in the movie, but that was in 2007. However, do you think that you can meet anti-skewer celebrities like Xu Xian everywhere? In order to take care of the love of children, Mario has not been dressed as a woman, but in Shen Zhenghui's mind, his appearance in women's clothes is enough to be qualified. At the very least, the contrast between the front and back is stark enough.

"No, I'm not going to change my mind." Shen Zhenghui replied, "If you don't have such a candidate in your hands for the time being. Then we can post a job for actors. ”

"You're so insistent?" Gordon asked.

"Okay, listen to me." Shen Zhenghui cleared his throat, and then knocked on the table, "This movie is very special, the character of the male protagonist is so cowardly, it will look particularly awkward to find any Caucasian to play it," he pointed to his head. "I'm here with a unified idea for the whole film. So it's not actually the first movie that's put in here, it's not trying to make it to see if the first one is popular, but the whole story as a whole has already been thought about, so my choice is definitely not just from the simple consideration of the beginning, but all the stories are taken into account. He licked his lips, "Actually, I can't wait to pick all the characters in the story." But considering that this is too much pressure on your work, I think let's go step by step, and now we are still thinking about how to get the first part out first, if so, we still have a long time to work together. If it's not good, there will be no next one. He looked at the two men seriously, "What do you think?" ”

Thomas opened his mouth to speak.

Shen Zhenghui shook his fingers, "Half of the production cost of Spring Sunrise, I am the director, this is written in the contract, the big project of 200 million US dollars, the money has been spent a lot, let's let it go smoothly." He said.

Thomas subconsciously looked at Mark. Gordon.

Mark Gordon pursed his lips vigorously, "For you, there's only one Jerry left?" ”

"Of course." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hands, "I don't have too much energy to focus on other supporting roles, just need to meet my requirements." ”

"Amanda," Mark Gordon said, "she's just a little rebellious. ”

"Understandable, I'll give her a chance, even if I don't pick her this time."

"Well, I owe her parents." Gordon closed his text folder, "Let's meet again later and discuss the selection of these actors?" ”

"Yes." Shen Zhenghui replied.

Thomas and Gordon stood up, "I'm exhausted," Thomas said, "and it's hard to sit. ”

"Alright, Thomas, it's time for you to retire." Gordon replied.

"Oh no, I think I can still work for a few more years." Thomas shook his head, "I'm going to raise little Thomas!" ”

"Oh, little Thomas, what is he doing?" Shen Zhenghui asked with interest.

"He's a director and he's raising money to make his own independent film." Thomas replied, "The failure of his debut left him in a bit of a bad position. ”

"Hey," Shen Zhenghui said suddenly, "why don't you let him come to China?" I need many, many assistant directors. ”

"Your assistant director is already enough," Gordon glanced at Shen Zhenghui, "there are already four." ”

"When the time comes to shoot, you'll know it's not enough." Shen Zhenghui blinked, and then he looked at Thomas, "Although he is nominally an assistant director, his work is no different from that of a handyman." ”

"It's a good idea," Thomas responded, "and he's actually very interested in the East." ”

Gordon kind of got it. Shen Zhenghui is openly taking the position to bribe himself, and it is not ruled out that Thomas and him are playing double reeds, Gordon can't help but struggle a little whether to accept this exchange, so as to let Shen Zhenghui call the shots in casting.

"Gordon, how old is your child?" Thomas asked.

"I have a daughter." Gordon finally said, "At twenty, she always wanted to be an actress. ”

"We don't have a lot of female characters, so why don't we let her audition? You can dodge it. Shen Zhenghui said.

Gordon's expression seemed to struggle a little, but finally changed very indifferently and said, "Okay, I'll call her." ”

Shen Zhenghui clapped his hands, "Isn't this a great joy for everyone?" You're just a daughter? ”

"No, two. This is the youngest daughter, and my eldest daughter is a doctor. ”

"Lucy?"

"How do you know?" Gordon looked suspicious.

"Lily and Lucy are always so compatible." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand, "I guess." Then he added, "If you have a parrot named Pauli in your house, then I wonder if the characters in my English textbooks are based on your family." ”

It took Gordon half a day to understand this sentence and laughed, now it's okay. The atmosphere eased.

……

"That's how you deal with the producer?" Ning Huan sat in Shen Zhenghui's room, with a laptop on the table in front of him. But at this time, he had no intention of writing scripts, and was bored looking for Shen Zhenghui to chat, and Shen Zhenghui was also sitting in front of the computer, looking at one celebrity photo after another.

After a while, he rubbed his eyes, "It's too tiring to look at this thing." He let out a deep breath. Do you have any good advice for Jerry? ”

"No," Ning Huan replied succinctly, "I don't watch many movies." ”

"Really?" Shen Zhenghui turned around and stared at Ning Huan, "What did you ask just now?" ”

"Isn't your bribery method a little too low-end," Ning Huan asked. "Isn't it too simple and crude, if it is found out, will their company think they ...... Well, you get the idea. ”

"So you don't know much about Hollywood," Shen Zhenghui responded, "Of course, I don't know much either, but haven't you already seen the effect?" ”

"I mean, aren't they worried about finding out at all?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"If the movie is successful, no one will check it at all, and if the movie fails, then there is no need to check it." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hands, "The crime will fall on the director's head, won't it?" ”

"Huh?"

"But the director won't have anything to do, don't you see Director Wu got rid of MGM? It's just that no one asked him to make a movie, and if I fail, I will end up postponing two years to enter Hollywood, or go back to my old business and make small kung fu films. ”

Ning Huan had an incredible expression on his face, "This ...... Uh......"

"Look at the king of sunglasses, isn't it okay to trap investors like that?" Shen Zhenghui spread his hand, "Movies are risky, and investment needs to be cautious." ”

Ning Huan opened his mouth, "I don't think I'm ready to be a director yet." ”

"Of course, you don't think it's so simple to be a director."

"It's unacceptable to say that from your mouth." Ning Huan snorted, "Jerry, who are you going to choose?" ”

"Actually, I think you're pretty good," he looked at Ning Huan and said, "Although you look a little ugly, but your height and your nature are in line with Jerry's brazenness and good at seeing the wind and rudder, and even a little obscene, if there is really no candidate, I think it's good to let you play in your true colors." He nodded at Ning Huan seriously, "You think about it and get ready, this can be regarded as a major turning point in your life, and it may lay the foundation for you to become a director." ”

Ning Huan was a little dumbfounded, and was stunned for a long time, "What you said is true?" ”

"Don't you yourself know your character? Aren't you brazen, good at seeing the wind and rudder, and at the same time a little obscene? ”

Ning Huan stood up angrily, "That's not what I'm asking," he lined up the table, "I'm asking if you're really going to let me play the role of Jerry?" ”

Shen Zhenghui smacked his lips, "Why don't we try our makeup tomorrow?" ”

Ning Huan obviously had an excitement of winning the lottery, "Really? ”

"Daniel Wu plays your brother, and you will be envied to death by your female classmates in the future." Shen Zhenghui shook his head.

Ning Huan rushed to Shen Zhenghui's bookcase, "I'll take a look at the books for the performance." ”

"It's too late, I said. Just show your nature. ”

Ning Huan's excitement overnight reached the next day's table - sure enough, it still didn't work.

But his appearance inspired Gordon and Thomas, and Ning Huan's slightly exaggerated performance reminded Shen Zhenghui of Wei Xiaobao played by Zhou Xingxing in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", which seemed to be a little excessive.

However, Gordon and Thomas seemed to find inspiration in Ning Huan's performance, and Gordon asked Thomas, "What do you think of Rileys?" He looked like such a slut from his face. ”

Thomas seemed to be caught up in the memory, "He was the right age. But it needs to be a little cute, and I think McCaurys is quite appropriate. ”

The two of them instantly picked up one after another young people in Hollywood who felt this way, and Ning Huan could only temporarily endure the shattering of his dream of being an actor.

"Don't worry too much, I can arrange for you to run a trick when the time comes." Shen Zhenghui comforted Ning Huan.

"I want it too!" Blue crystal raised her hand and said.

Shen Zhenghui focused his attention on Lan Jing's body, "You seem to have regained your life." He asked.

"Yes," Lanjing nodded, he was still a little nervous, "I'll write when I have time now, I don't want to disappoint readers." ”

"It's okay to write." Shen Zhenghui scratched his hair, "Every word you type is a lot of money." ”

"My contract with the www.biquge.info of Biquge has not changed." Azurite replied.

"Ah, I'm not talking about that." Shen Zhenghui patted Lan Jing's shoulder, "When "Magic Apprentice" is successful, you will be a world-renowned writer, oh no, you are now a world-renowned writer." Lu Xun's books don't have so many translations of yours. ”

"But in terms of value, I am far from being able to compare with Lu Xun." Lan Jing said modestly.

"It's enough to be able to compare the price." Shen Zhenghui replied. Then he said to Aquamarine, "Don't write too fast. Foreigners can't see it. ”

"You can translate it slower!" Ning Huan said on the side.

After the crew was ready to complete Jerry's casting, they immediately went to the set in the mainland, and Mitsumi Fukuda also came to the casting venue to make an appearance, she pulled Shen Zhenghui to a quiet place, "That girl came to apologize to me." She said.

"Apologize? Who is it? ”

"Amanda." Mitsumi Fukuda smiled, "If she hadn't taken the initiative to confess to me, I wouldn't have known that you, as a director, would have faced so many temptations." ”

"What?" Shen Zhenghui felt messy. "It's because she's too self-righteous, and you know what an upright person I am, I won't take a little girl like them to heart at all."

"I'm not here to educate you." Mitsumi Fukuda rolled her eyes, "I just wanted to remind you not to be too presumptuous. Both Gordon and Thomas are experienced producers, and your never-loser record so far has mostly happened outside of Hollywood, and if you want to please Hollywood audiences, you should obviously listen to them more. ”

"Yes, I know." Shen Zhenghui nodded, perhaps a little impatient in his heart, "What does this have to do with that Amanda?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that her sudden apologization made me suddenly realize that I've not cared much about your personal life for a long time, and it doesn't seem good."

"No, that's fine." Shen Zhenghui hurriedly waved his hand, he became more and more inclined to be an ostrich, "You don't have to worry, I'm not so beastly." ”

"Of course I didn't mean that," Mitsumi Fukuda responded, "I just think that filming in the mainland for such a long time, and Tomoaki Aonuma can only stay by your side for a short time, after all, her role is so long, do you need me to help you arrange it again," her eyes widened, and she asked with a look of concern, "Liu Xin still has work and can't leave, what do you think of Fujido Xiangcheng?" ”

"Enough, stop making jokes like this." Shen Zhenghui was a little annoyed, "I'm very busy at work, and I don't have energy at all." ”

"How is this possible? You're only thirty years old, and you look at the old men in Hollywood, like Scarlett Johansson, who is his muse. ”

"Don't remind me I'm thirty." Shen Zhenghui almost jumped up, "Woody, he has a problem with his brain, don't compare me to him." "In the future, he will be at odds with his Korean adopted daughter, you can't believe his aesthetics, compared to Scarlett is indeed a muse. Shen Zhenghui shook his head vigorously, "That's enough, you just say it, what are you here for?" Stop talking this nonsense. Amanda is a relative of Gordon, and it seems that it is more reliable for you to talk to him about the child's education than to talk to me about this. ”

"It's his friend's daughter." Mitsumi Fukuda corrected, "Not his relative." In fact, her candid attitude makes me think she's still quite cute, don't you think about it? She's twenty years old, you don't have to feel guilty. ”

Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes, "You're here to talk to me about this?" ”

"I hope you don't have to be stressed." Mitsumi Fukuda said, "You are a great director, and if you need to release the pressure, there are many people waiting in line. ”

"Of course I'm not stressed, please." Shen Zhenghui half-squinted his eyes, "I don't need to release the pressure in this way." ”

"That's not good," Mitsumi Fukuda said, with an embarrassed expression, "If Amanda is rewarded for nothing, she'll think we're good people or wrongdoers." She looked at Shen Zhenghui, "Do you think it's good to be a good person or a wronged person?" ”

"I never say who I am." Shen Zhenghui stared coldly at Fukuda Mitsumi.

"I knew you would say that." Mitsumi Fukuda tilted her head, "Don't worry, I've already helped you get paid from Amanda." ”

"Eh, what did you say, wait." Shen Zhenghui's frightened Cheng dù was even more powerful than just now.

"So just give her a random role." Mitsumi Fukuda said indifferently, "After all, you have to give Gordon a face, and it's not good to take advantage of a girl." ”

So what the hell is going on? Shen Zhenghui couldn't help but roll his eyes. (To be continued......)
