Chapter 149, Director Candidate
Lin Feng sighed, he knew that no matter what he said, Zhao Daqiang would not believe it.
He took out the script of "Spring Brightness" from his bag and handed it to Zhao Daqiang.
"Look at this script."
Zhao Daqiang's hand just stretched out.
The hand stayed in the middle for a few seconds and then retracted again.
"Wait a minute, I'd like to change my clothes and see."
After speaking, Zhao Daqiang hurriedly changed his clothes.
After a while, his big shorts and tank top were replaced by a shirt and suit pants, and he looked much more formal than before.
It was the first time Lin Feng had seen this Brother Qiang who was filming a fake drug advertisement so formal.
Zhao Daqiang's trembling hand took the script of "Spring Brightness" from Lin Feng's hand, and carefully flipped it up.
Lin Feng didn't bother him.
These pages are just an outline of the script.
In just a few short pages, Zhao Daqiang flipped through it several times.
He saw it a fifth time before he looked up.
"What is my role?"
"Joyful light." Lin Feng replied.
"Spring Brightness" tells the story of two siblings, Chunhua and Xiguang, who have experienced various life situations after entering the city with the big wave.
The character of Xiguang is about thirty-five years old, because the family is poor, and he has to take care of his elderly and sick parents a few years ago, and he has not been able to marry a daughter-in-law.
Later, when his parents passed away, he accompanied his sister Chunhua to work in the city, just to make money to gain a foothold in the city, take care of his sister, and ask his daughter-in-law by the way.
Xiguang felt that he was full of strength and hard work, and he would definitely be able to make money in the city.
But the actual situation made him realize that life in the city was not as good as he thought.
was originally full of passion and joy, but he was constantly hit by reality, and experienced malicious salary arrears, the boss ran away, and the ruffian bullies blackmailed.
Even so, Xiguang always has a smile in front of her sister Haruka, but often encourages her sister.
At the end of the movie, Xiguang suffers from a serious occupational disease because of working in a harsh working environment.
Chunhua returned to her hometown with the seriously ill Xiguang, and the two siblings saw that the rape flowers in their hometown were blooming and the ground was full of goldenness, and they found out..... Spring is coming.
........
In the whole story, Xiguang's role is very heavy, and from the ambition to enter the city, to the illness and gloom to return to his hometown from the city, the character has to undergo a great change.
This sense of loss, Lin Feng saw in Zhao Daqiang's body.
Although Zhao Daqiang is 40 years old, his appearance is actually not old, and it is suitable to take care of it a little and play a 35-year-old role.
Therefore, the first time Lin Feng saw the script, he decided to find Zhao Daqiang to play the role of Xiguang.
Lin Feng has always wanted to sign Zhao Daqiang, but there has never been a suitable opportunity.
If you want to move Zhao Daqiang, you have to come up with something.
So today, Lin Feng came with the script of "Spring Brightness".
Zhao Daqiang carefully read the script of "Spring Brightness" several times, and he still couldn't believe it.
"Really let me play Xiguang?"
Lin Feng nodded, and he took out the full version of the thick script from his bag: "This script, if you are willing to act, the script can be given to you." β
"Why are you looking for me?"
"First, I think you're a good fit for the role, second, I've worked with you and believe in your abilities, and third, you're cheap enough."
Lin Feng cited three reasons.
"Cheap enough?"
Hearing these four words, Zhao Daqiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"When you say that, I think it's true, indeed..... An actor like me, who is not well-known, will not be paid millions or tens of millions of dollars like those well-known actors. β
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'm justβ>>."

Trust you one more time, Say, when is this movie going to be made, I've got to be ready. β
"The sooner the better, because this movie is kind of special."
Lin Feng told Zhao Daqiang about Su Zhiyuan's situation again.
Zhao Daqiang's expression was very solemn after listening.
He nodded, "According to you, the sooner you really have to go." In this way, once your shooting plan is confirmed, give me a call, and I will arrange it here. β
Hearing Zhao Daqiang say this, Lin Feng knew that Zhao Daqiang's side had finished talking.
The hero and heroine can be regarded as finding people, and the progress of work is a big step forward.
The next step is to find a director.
On the director's side, Lin Feng hopes that it is Qiao Yuan, but he doesn't know if he can talk about it.
After all, the coffee seat of the other people is there, and I don't know how many companies and artists want to cooperate with that director Qiao Yuan.
For the director, Lin Feng is not 100% confident.
If Qiao Yuan can't do it, he can only find it again, and Lin Feng's alternative is to ask Mr. Zhang to help recommend one.
Since you want to make a good movie, the director can't be arbitrary.
Lin Feng asked Zhao Daqiang to familiarize himself with the script during this time, and when the director was decided, he was arranging for him to meet with the director.
Basically, actor and actress Lin Feng will not change.
First, the candidate is suitable.
Two, it's still those two words: cheap.
Li Xinran is a fledgling newcomer, Zhao Daqiang is not famous, and their salary is not much.
Movie stars who are already famous are too expensive, and they cost tens of millions, or even tens of millions.
Lin Feng can't afford it.
The main reason is that Lin Feng doesn't have much confidence in how much investment he can attract.
The most difficult part of making a movie is not to hire actors, nor to hire directors, but to attract investment.
As long as you have money, the rest of the matter is easy to solve.
Next, what director to invite is related to how much budget to prepare later, and whether the budget will be increased in the later stage.
In the film industry, I am most afraid that the director will temporarily increase the budget.
Many times halfway through the filming, the director says that there is no money, and you don't add the budget.
Without budgeting, the movie was shelved halfway through.
If you increase your budget, you have to find a way to get a lot of money to fill this hole.
So what director to invite is a very important thing for Lin Feng.
He's thought it through.
If Qiao Yuan agreed to take this movie, but the budget he asked for was too high and beyond Lin Feng's bearing, Lin Feng would also give up cooperating with him.
The current Lin Feng can't afford to toss.
Or rather, he doesn't have the capital to toss yet.
"Spring Bright" is a literary film, which is used to impact awards, and it is good that the box office can basically return to its original cost.
Lin Feng and his Galaxy Media chose literary films for the first film, which is really a bit risky.
But now it's ready to shoot and have to be sent.
Lin Feng could only do the best he could.
In terms of funds, if you can save it, you can save it.
On the way back for Lin Feng and the fat man, Zou Qinghong called.
Zou Qinghong on the phone told Lin Feng that Qiao Yuan's assistant had been contacted.
After the assistant conveyed Lin Feng's request to meet Qiao Yuan, the director of Qiao agreed to meet Lin Feng.
It just so happened that Qiao Yuan came back from a vacation abroad, and he was also in Haicheng in the past few days.
The time and place of the meeting, Zou Qinghong wrote it down, and sent a message to Lin Feng's mobile phone.
After Lin Feng hung up the phone, he saw the message sent by Zou Qinghong on his phone.
The place where Qiao Yuan arranged to meet was actually a lakeside villa in Haicheng Wetland Park.
