Xu Hongsheng's appearance seems to be a turning point for Fang Bo's luck to improve, he has auditioned more than ten actors in a row before, but none of them have passed.

But on the morning of the second day after Xu Hongsheng's audition, in just half a day, Fang Bo found three suitable actors. Except for the role of "Li Junwei", the other main roles were done at one time.

And during the audition process in the afternoon, he also selected all the supporting actors, and the cast of "Night Club" was basically determined.

The reason why I say "basic" is because there is another candidate who has been vacant for a long time, and that is Li Junwei, the actor on the bright side of the movie.

The difficulty of this character's performance is actually not high, but in the setting, he is a taciturn young otaku.

It's just that in Hengdian, a mixed place, it is difficult to mix for a long time without a little brain and eloquence, so the special actors who came to audition were very mature and sophisticated.

The problem of acting skills is okay, and it does not match the temperament of the character, which is the main reason why the auditioners were eliminated.

By the time the audition was over the next day, it was already evening.

Fang Bo dragged his tired body back to the hotel, and just pushed open the old door, the door shaft that had not been repaired for a long time suddenly made a "squeak" noise, announcing its dissatisfaction to the outside world.

It's a pity that Fang Bo didn't have the heart to take care of other things at this time.

He closed the door casually, lay down on the bed that was not too soft, and empty his brain, enjoying the rare leisure time of the day.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and although he occasionally walked into the cinema to buy tickets to watch movies, he didn't know anything about how to make a movie.

In this life, he is from a professional class, but after all, talking on paper is not as profound as practicing it, not to mention that what is taught in school is very different from the actual situation.

For Fang Bo, who has no experience, the experience of these few days is definitely an unprecedented experience. Although "Night Club" is a small-budget independent film, it is still a lot of trouble to start from scratch, and he is so busy that he can't touch the ground.

Fortunately, today's audition went a lot smoother, and the rough cast was given, and the most difficult problem was finally solved.

After that, as long as you find the crew members such as photographers and makeup artists, and then get the shooting location and shooting equipment ready, the movie can officially start shooting.

Thinking of this, Fang Bo turned over and sat up again.

By the way, there's still one actor missing!

I almost forgot about it.

However, all the actors who have been found before have already finished auditioning, and it seems that they will have to go to the actors' union again tomorrow to find a few otaku type actors.

After planning tomorrow's trip, Fang Bo stretched his waist, looked at the dark night scene outside the window, and couldn't stop churning sleepily, yawning while going to the bathroom to wash.

That's right, although this room is small, simple and poorly lit due to its cheap price, it also has an advantage strictly speaking, that is, it has at least a separate bathroom.

After all, the price of dozens of dollars is here, and it would be good to have a lone guard.

And the bathroom is only usable, and the decoration inside is extremely simple, which can be called the ultimate in saving money!

The doorknob was basically useless, it couldn't be locked at all, and the boss installed another latch so that the door would not become an ornament.

The tiles on the ground are also small pieces of leftovers, and the mirror behind the sink has cracked a few gaps that run through the left and right, but fortunately, the outer frame is relatively intact and there will be no risk of sudden falling.

Fang Bo just stood in front of the washstand brushing his teeth, and he was bored while brushing his teeth, and he focused his attention on the mirror in front of him.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he inexplicably felt a little familiar.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

Nonsense, look at yourself yourself, if you don't look familiar, then you will develop in the direction of horror movies.

It seems that I am really busy and dizzy, so let's rest early tonight.

But having said that, Fang Bo still felt empty in his heart, as if something had been overlooked.

A few gaps in the middle of the mirror made it difficult for him to see his face clearly, so he bent his knees slightly and stood in a half-squat position, which was much clearer now.

Speaking of which, he hadn't looked at himself so closely in a long time.

has been busy with movies, he hasn't had a haircut for a long time, and the tips of his hair have hung down past his eyebrows, almost covering his eyes. And after arriving in Hengdian, I didn't sleep very well, the dark circles under my eyes were a little obvious, and my face was a little more tired than usual.

Looking at it, the more I looked at myself in the mirror, the more familiar I became, and gradually overlapped with the appearance of "Li Junwei" in my mind.

"Oh, yes!"

Fang Bo suddenly realized, and finally made up the missing piece of the puzzle.

Wouldn't it be quite appropriate to play Li Junwei by himself?

First of all, he is the right age, he has just graduated for less than a year, and anyone who sees it has to say that he is young. And he still has the student's spirit of the original owner, which is very similar to Li Junwei's character temperament.

The most important thing is that I also learned some courses about acting in school, and playing an otaku is definitely handy, and it will not be worse than the original.

Ah.

Fang Bo slapped his forehead, how else to say that it was dark under the lamp, looking for it, the most suitable actor was actually himself!

If I had thought about it earlier, I wouldn't have had to worry about it for so long.

How good it is to direct and act by himself, firstly, he has enough cast, and secondly, he can save the salary of an actor, which is simply a double win!

The matter that had been bothering him for a long time was finally resolved, and the stone in Fang Bo's heart fell to the ground.

As soon as he relaxed, the tiredness of the past few days came to his body, and after washing, he almost fell asleep when he lay down.

……

I didn't say anything all night, and when I woke up, it was already bright outside the window, and I slept very comfortably.

Fang Bo walked out of the hotel door refreshed, first went to the photographers' union in Hengdian, released the recruitment information of the crew of "Night Club", and the required positions such as makeup artists were also concocted, and then waited for the applicants to take the initiative to contact.

After all this, it was time for the afternoon.

He went to a number of equipment rental companies one after another, almost all over Hengdian, and finally rented all the equipment needed for film shooting, but the deposit and rent together also cost a lot of money.

Fang Bo silently calculated that there were necessary expenses such as actors' salaries, staff salaries and crew lunches, all of which would cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, the salary of the male lead actor Xu Hongsheng is relatively cheap, and he also saved a sum of money by playing Li Junwei, otherwise the budget of 400,000 yuan is indeed stretched.

After a busy day, the preparation progress of the film has advanced a lot, and the biggest problem left is the shooting location.

The scene of "Night Club" is very simple, the whole film basically takes place in a night supermarket, so you can spend money to rent a ready-made one, at most change the layout of the store, and you don't have to spend a lot of money on the set.

This is also one of the important reasons why Fang Bo chose to shoot "Nightclub", this movie really doesn't burn much money.

Otherwise, 400,000 people want to make a complete feature film, that's really a home in the chimney, no way!
