Chapter 343: Casting Loop

"Huh? Xu Zhen wants to take "Embroidered Spring Knife"? ”

On the side of Huaying Media, Hu Weiguo was really surprised when he learned of Xu Zhen's choice.

He couldn't help but flipped through the few documents in his hand, and there was a deep confusion in his eyes.

I don't choose so many big productions, but I chose this one?

It's not that the script is bad, it's just that ......

Hu Weiguo thought about it for a while, if he was an actor, he would not be able to choose "Embroidered Spring Knife" in any part.

- "Embroidered Spring Knife" is an original script by a rookie director!

Who doesn't want to follow a big director and act in a blockbuster movie?

It's really a "dream drama"??

The assistant on the side said: "Xu Zhen's agent just called over and asked when the movie will start, how much investment is expected, and who the lineup is set." ”

"Mr. Hu, how do we reply?"

"Uh......" Hu Weiguo was suddenly a little embarrassed.

As the person in charge of a leading enterprise in the industry, although he likes to be a Bole, he doesn't like to be a fool.

Although "Embroidered Spring Knife" is a good book, it is only a newcomer's work after all, and there are too many uncertainties.

Hu Weiguo originally only wanted to invest 30 million to test the water, and in terms of actors, he only planned to invite a first-line star to come to the town, and the others were all affordable actors.

It's best to be able to return to the capital, but if you can't get it back, you will invest in the angel.

But now......

Xu Zhen said that he wanted to act, shouldn't he pay a little more attention?

Hu Weiguo pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind - take a gamble!

Isn't it just a matter of investing tens of millions more, smash!

Hu Weiguo turned his head to the assistant and said, "Tell Xu Zhen over there!" ”

"It is estimated that the investment is 80 million, and the actor is in contact, and he will definitely be a first-line movie star!"

The specific start-up time was given to him a week later. First sort out a more detailed information and send it to him, indicating that this show is ready to start at any time! ”

……

A few days later, the filming plan of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was overturned and rushed in.

Hu Weiguo attaches great importance to this movie, and personally looks for the actor, and the few people he is currently in contact with are all well-known first-line movie stars in the industry.

At the same time, people within Huaying have also heard that the company plans to increase investment in this film and make "Embroidered Spring Knife" the main movie in the first half of next year.

Overnight, countless people were ready to move.

Those who wanted to take it in the past and those who didn't want to take it were all moved at this time.

Guo Wei's agent led Guo Wei directly to the door, hurriedly ran to Hu Weiguo's office, and asked, "Mr. Hu, I heard that "Embroidered Spring Knife" will be launched in the near future?" ”

"Why don't you leave a place for Xiao Guo?"

"Martial arts theme, how suitable Xiao Guo is! Why do you have to find an outsider to act? ”

When Hu Weiguo heard this, he couldn't help but pouted secretly.

He did plan to let Guo Wei play the role of Jin Yichuan in "Embroidered Spring Knife".

But recently, a popular variety show contacted Guo Wei, and his agent wanted to take it, so Hu Weiguo didn't stop him, anyway, Guo Wei is not important to this movie.

Why, now that I've heard that I've increased my investment, I want to take it again?

Hu Weiguo was a little unhappy.

"The current direction of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is also uncertain......"

He didn't say too much, but said euphemistically: "These days, I have contacted several actors one after another, all of them are hesitant, and no one has given me a clear answer." ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'm also quite worried about this movie now, there is no famous director, and I can't find a particularly suitable actor." ”

"No matter how well-made it is, it is difficult to guarantee the box office, and the 80 million is likely to be smashed in vain."

As soon as Guo Wei's agent heard this, he immediately said righteously: "Mr. Hu, don't be afraid!" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's hot or not!"

"Isn't this the time when you need the support of the company's artists? Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while! ”

Hu Weiguo really wants to say that raise your grandmother's legs, where will I raise you when I invest 30 million?

"Bell, bell!"

But just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hu Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, looked out the door, and saw that the person who came was the casting director of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" project team.

The casting director entered the door and saw Guo Wei and his agent in the house, and hurriedly wanted to confess and leave.

But Hu Weiguo beckoned at him and said with a smile: "It's okay, come in, it's not an outsider, what's the matter?" ”

The casting director hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Hu, Wu Zhen replied just now, saying that he is very interested in "Embroidered Spring Knife", but he still wants to talk to you about a few questions, and I want to ask for your contact information. ”

When Hu Weiguo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Wu Zhen!

He knows that this is a not-so-popular A-list movie star.

Although Wu Zhen's popularity may not be too high, his personal image is very good, and he is first-class in playing, extremely dedicated, and has a good reputation in the circle.

When the first round of casting of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Wu Zhen was one of the earliest leading actor candidates Hu Weiguo had contacted.

But at that time, he said that he didn't have a schedule, so he rejected it in one bite, why is there a schedule now?

Hu Weiguo said to the casting director with great interest: "Give him my contact information." ”

"Tell him that you can contact him at any time."

The casting director nodded and took the order.

……

As soon as he heard that Wu Zhen wanted to act in this drama, Hu Weiguo suddenly lost interest in other things.

But on the sofa opposite, Guo Wei and his agent had no intention of leaving, they were listening with great interest, and they were suddenly a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Guo, you go back and rest first," Hu Weiguo said with a smile, "I understand, let's discuss anything later." ”

Where is Guo Wei's agent willing to leave at this time? immediately played the scoundrel and said: "Mr. Hu, I still have several tasks that I haven't reported to you!" ”

Hu Weiguo saw that he couldn't drive away, so he had no choice but to continue to listen to his "work report".

"Bell bell bell ......"

However, it didn't take long for the phone on the desk to ring.

Hu Weiguo looked at the phone number and didn't know it - it couldn't be Wu Zhen, right?

Hit back so quickly?

He quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hey, hello?" ”

"Mr. Hu, I'm Wu Zhen," a deep voice said on the other end of the phone, "Take the liberty of excuse me, about the casting of "Embroidered Spring Knife", ......

"I heard that the role of Jin Yichuan has been replaced?"

Hu Weiguo was stunned when he heard this, and before he could answer, he only listened to the other end of the phone and continued: "I remember that the original actor was Guo Wei, but now it is Xu Zhen?" ”

Hu Weiguo hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, we are in contact with Xu Zhen, and he does have this intention." ”

Wu Zhen said: "That's the case, Mr. Hu." ”

"I read the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife", and I like it very much."

"If the role of Jin Yichuan is confirmed to be Xu Zhen, I can spare time to take over this drama."

Hu Weiguo: "......"

He subconsciously glanced at Guo Wei on the other side of the sofa.

The two looked at each other.

Although the phone is not turned on speakerphone, the office is so big, only three or four meters away, you can still hear it clearly......

If Guo Wei's performance has no schedule, Xu Zhen's performance will have a schedule?

Mr. Wu...... Isn't it a bit too much for you to treat this differently?
