Chapter 409: New Movie Casting
"Okay." Tong Lu thought that as the boss of the dream world, she was busier than the employees and did more things, and she suddenly felt that this boss was a bit of a loss.
After dinner, Tong Lu returned to her study, picked up the script and pen, and began to work overtime.
She kept thinking about Andre's words just now, she began to hesitate, in the last collaborative drama, Andre performed very well, positive, and very serious about his work, even if it was a small detail, a mistake in the props, he had to point out, and he was able to put forward a lot of very useful suggestions.
Tong Lu thought to herself, it seems that it is not bad to cooperate with Andre.
The next day, Tong Lu took the initiative to call Andre and tell him his decision.
"Mr. Andrei, I seriously considered your suggestion last night, and I think you have a point, so I agree with your suggestion." Tong Lu finished speaking in one breath, she did not have the expected worries, but faintly looked forward to the future.
This movie is based on her and Gu Chuan, so she wants to be able to make a high-quality movie more than ordinary people.
Andre was a little surprised, he thought that Tong Lu would reject him.
"Great, Tong Lu, why did you suddenly figure it out?" Andre didn't sleep all night last night, and yesterday Tong Lu's expression was very hesitant, which made him gradually begin to be disappointed in his heart, he felt that he might lose the opportunity to cooperate this time, and he was extremely depressed, but he was helpless.
Tong Lu suddenly relented, which surprised him and made him very happy.
"We have a precedent for cooperation before, so I am willing to believe you this time." Tong Lu replied softly.
"Well, I won't let you down." After Andrei hung up the phone, he immediately drove to the dream world and joined the group to discuss the script.
Tong Lu was a little surprised by his arrival, she didn't expect Andre to be so positive and enthusiastic about her work, she said her original thoughts, Andre praised a few places, and put forward a few things that were not quite right.
"Tong Lu: I know your idea is very new, but you have just entered the industry and don't have much experience, so I think there are a few things to change......" Andre pointed out where to change.
When Tong Lu heard this, she had a feeling that her mouth was suddenly open.
She had discussed these things with Chen Baixi and others before, and none of them had discussed a perfect plan, but Andre is an old director with experience in the past few years, and he has a very accurate vision of things.
With Andre joining, the problem of the script was quickly solved, and all the details were displayed, Tong Lu felt that it was time to start the film, and the next thing was the casting.
Andre doesn't plan to participate in this, Tong Lu is a little strange, he has always pursued perfection in his work, and Andre, who is nitpicky, doesn't care about such a big thing as choosing actors?
"Why? Have you been busy lately? Tong Lu asked.
Andre said with some embarrassment, "You also know my temper, I'm not very good at dealing with people, I'm very relieved about your casting, and the newcomers you selected before are very good." ”
Although at the beginning, he despised Tong Lu for choosing all newcomers and not a big name, but as soon as the finished product came out, he was very surprised, he didn't expect those fledgling newcomers to film so hard.
Because of this, he feels that Tong Lu's eyes are more accurate than his own, and he has not chosen Asian actors, and he is not good at it.
Since Andre is relieved to leave everything to her, Tong Lu naturally has no opinion, "I will openly solicit actors in the dream world tomorrow, if you are interested, you can also come and watch." ”
"Okay." Andrei nodded.
That night, Tong Lu posted the announcement of the open casting next to the door of Dream World, and all the signed artists in Dream World had a chance. Tong Lu is now a hot rookie director and has won a gold award, and her film immediately attracted the attention of many artists, all of whom wanted to get a role in it.
At this time, Tong Lu's phone kept ringing, and it was all from some entertainment companies, hoping to cooperate with her. Tong Lu is now able to support herself, and Andre, an international famous director, has joined, and she actually doesn't really want to cooperate with outside entertainment companies.
"Mr. Tong, I'm Director Lu, we met in commercial activities before, do you remember me?" A middle-aged man's voice rang out.
Tong Lu thought about it and seemed to have a little impression, she had seen a lot of directors, although she had heard of this director, but she couldn't remember his appearance for a while.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
Director Lu smiled slightly, and his tone was very gentle, "I heard that you are going to cast in your dream world, is this true?" ”
"Yes." This matter is no longer a secret, but public, but I didn't expect the news of Director Lu to be so timely.
"I happened to pass by the door of the dream world, shall we talk?" Director Lu has actually been paying attention to Tong Lu's movements, and since Tong Lu announced that she was going to start shooting a new movie, he would come to the dream world whenever he was free, thinking about whether he could have a chance encounter with Tong Lu.
Tong Lu thought about it, the other party came to the door, if it seemed impossible to refuse, she thought for two seconds before nodding, "Okay." ”
The two met in the reception room, Tong Lu saw that the middle-aged man in front of her was a little familiar, and she suddenly remembered that this was the director of the latest hit idol drama.
"Tong Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you, to be honest, I came to you to talk about cooperation." Director Lu said with a smile.
"How do you want to work together?" Tong Lu did not directly refuse him, because he is also a talent in the director industry, and maybe the conditions proposed by the other party are exactly what he needs.
"I recently directed an idol drama, and it's quite popular, you should have seen it. In terms of selection, I use young actors who are currently very hot, and they themselves have a large number of fans. ”
The more Tong Lu listened, the more wrong it was, the director has been focusing on the topic of actors, could it be that the direction he wants to cooperate with is several leading actors?
"I don't think it's wise for you to cast openly in Dream World, you should choose those stars who have traffic and are very hot, rather than those newcomers who are not well-known in Dream World. I know you're a talented director, but a good script can't be used on these newcomers. Director Lu thought to himself that he had already prepared a few traffic stars in his entertainment company, as long as he could let those stars as the leading actors, then the money would also be rolling.
Tong Lu frowned slightly, she thought that Director Lu was going to make some good suggestions, but she didn't expect it to be really the starring problem.
"If the actors you recommend are strong and can play the leading role, I will also consider using them. This time, I adopted a fair competition model, and even actors from outside the dream world have the opportunity to participate in the casting. Tong Lu said calmly.
Director Lu shook his head, thinking that he had already said it so obviously, didn't Tong Lu understand what he meant? He sighed slightly, and said seriously, "Mr. Tong, let's not talk about whether the actors I recommend have that strength, they themselves are traffic and have a large number of fans, these two points alone are enough." ”
"I understand, do you want them to go through the back door and become the starring actors?" Tong Lu smiled coldly, "Then you must have found the wrong person." ”
There's no way she's going to let people go through the back door, and she despises it. If this actor doesn't have any acting skills and is just beautiful, then she won't use it.
"Mr. Tong, as long as you can make money, isn't it?" Director Lu was very incomprehensible, and he dared to guarantee that the people he recommended would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Tong Lu shook her head, her face was already a little impatient, "Of course this is not good, I value this movie very much, it can be said that it is my hard work, how can I just find a few random people in order to make money?" ”
Director Lu still wanted to say something, Tong Lu had already stood up from her position, she glanced at the time on her watch, "It's getting late, I'm going back, Director Lu, please take care of yourself." ”
Director Lu was a little depressed, thinking to himself what good movies could Tong Lu make for those newcomers? There must be no traffic in the end, and no one wants to buy movie tickets.
After Tong Lu left the dream world, she was still a little unhappy in her heart, thinking that she also relied on her own hard work at the beginning, she relied on her own strength, not through the back door, and now Director Lu wants to buy the relationship, which is impossible.
On the way home, Tong Lu was a little depressed, and when she returned home and saw the two lovely children, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared.
No matter how much wind and rain she went through outside, when she thought of these lovely children at home, she felt that everything she had done was worth it.
The next day, Tong Lu came to the dream world as usual, and the public casting caused a great sensation, in addition to the signed artists in the dream world, the actors from outside also came one after another, and the hall was bustling with people.
In addition to the starring role, the other supporting roles Tong Lu directly asked other assistants to help choose, and waited until the last round to review it himself.
The casting activity in the morning was very busy, Tong Lu didn't even have a chance to drink saliva, she kept working repeatedly, and there were many people who came to compete for the protagonist, several times more than other supporting roles.
They all wanted to take this opportunity to become famous, but their acting skills did not meet Tong Lu's expectations.
Tong Lu kept shaking her head and eliminated all the actors in the morning. Finally stayed up until halftime before she could drink saliva, and was about to go out for lunch, but unexpectedly met Yi Feng at the door.
Yi Feng took care of himself cleanly, and restored his previous appearance, Tong Lu almost didn't recognize it.
"Why are you here all of a sudden?" She asked, curiously.
"I heard there was a casting event today, so I came to take a look." Yi Feng was a little anxious in his heart, he had already rejected Tong Lu before, and said that he didn't like acting, but in fact, he still couldn't really give up. Seeing such an opportunity in front of him, he was a little itchy.
