When I learned that Mu Rong had a suitable script, but he was afraid that the procedures would be cumbersome and difficult to film.

Regiment Commander Zheng immediately said that he did not dare to guarantee other military regions, but if he was to cooperate with them in the Beiping Military Region, there would be no problem in terms of procedures.

Mu Rong glanced at his epaulettes and his age of less than forty, and he was sure that what he said was true.

That night, Mu Rong contacted Zhang Jizhong, and Yolan Xiaolong had a meal together.

Zhang Jizhong's basic plate is costume martial arts dramas, and this kind of military drama is dispensable for him.

Knowing that Mu Rong wanted to shoot, he took the initiative to quit.

A lot of times, relationships are built with each other.

Mu Rong, as the middleman, made another appointment with Head Zheng and Lan Xiaolong for a meal, and the filming of "Soldier Assault" was officially put on the agenda.

However, Mu Rong didn't have time to shoot, so Zhang Jizhong introduced a director to him.

The director's name is Kang Honglei, and he was responsible for the filming of the "Years of Burning Passion" produced by Zhang Jizhong before.

Later, he also filmed Zhang Jizhong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and served as an assistant director in the crew.

Therefore, Zhang Jizhong is still very relieved about his directing strength.

The "Years of Burning Passion" can be regarded as a military-themed TV series in recent years, with relatively high quality and high ratings.

After Chief Zheng learned about it, he was also very satisfied with this candidate.

Before "Bright Sword", his favorite military TV series was "The Years of Burning Passion".

Kang Honglei has experience in filming military TV dramas, and he got started quickly, and as soon as he received the job, he had already begun to select actors.

He knows very well that the actors of this kind of military drama are different from the actors of costume dramas like "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

The main job of martial arts is an adult fairy tale, and it needs to meet fantasy, so it must be handsome and beautiful, and the requirements for the actor's acting skills are lower.

But military dramas are realistic themes, and the actors must act realistically enough to have a sense of substitution for the audience.

Therefore, actors must choose real acting schools.

The top ceiling actors in China are basically in the drama circle.

Therefore, when selecting actors, Kang Honglei did not go elsewhere at all, but directly walked around several theaters and drama troupes in Beiping, and spread the news, and many actors came to the door.

Soon, he settled on several actors.

For example, Zhang Yi who plays Shi Jin, Zhang Guoqiang who plays Gaocheng, Duan Yihong who plays Yuan Lang and so on.

But the actor Xu Sanduo of the male lead, he has never found a suitable candidate.

The protagonist of Xu Sanduo is different from the protagonist of all previous military dramas, he does not look like a hero, and he does not have a great image.

He is the turtle son in his father's mouth, and the three nerds in the eyes of his friends.

After entering the army, he was also a "mule" who couldn't even walk well and showed his form the fastest, and he was a soldier who was looked down upon by many people.

This is a completely anti-hero protagonist, and even needs to be ugly to a certain extent.

Correspondingly, this role also needs strong acting skills to support it in order to perform the essence.

So, it's very challenging.

After reading the script, Zhang Yi and Duan Yihong were very interested in this protagonist and wanted to try it.

But after watching their performances, Kang Honglei didn't feel very satisfied.

None of them had the feeling of Kang Honglei's mind.

And their ages are already around thirty years old, which is a bit big with Xu Sanduo and nineteen years old.

Kang Honglei still wants to find a young actor who is not too old and has good acting skills.

But it's really hard to find such an actor.

Just when he was at a loss, Mu Rong suddenly recommended an actor named Wang Baoqiang to him.

Mu Rong knew this actor when he watched "No Thieves in the World" before.

At that time, he was deeply impressed by this young actor.

Wang Baoqiang played a migrant worker named Silly Gen in that movie, and he gave Mu Rong the impression that he didn't know how to act at all, but he acted very well.

There was a feeling that he was a stupid person.

In the past few days when Kang Honglei was selecting actors, Mu Rong read the script of "Soldier Assault".

When he saw Xu Sanduo, he couldn't help but think of a stupid root in his mind.

Kang Honglei hadn't watched Wang Baoqiang's play, and after Mu Rong recommended it, he checked Wang Baoqiang's information.

Only after this investigation did he find out that Wang Baoqiang's origin was not small.

Wang Baoqiang's first movie won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer.

And his second film played Feng Xiaogang's "No Thieves in the World", cooperating with big actors such as the king Liu Dehua and the queen Liu Ruoying.

What is rare is that his performance in the movie did not fall behind at all, and even overshadowed the demeanor of the king.

After seeing Wang Baoqiang's works, Kang Honglei directly found his contact information, called him, and sent an audition invitation.

Wang Baoqiang was not interested in this film contract at first, and he planned to take over the filming of a martial arts TV series.

But after hearing Kang Honglei say that it was Mu Rong who recommended him, he didn't think about it, so he came directly to the interview.

After the interview, Kang Honglei directly made a decision and decided on Wang Baoqiang's leading actor.

However, Wang Baoqiang didn't have much joy about this, and he put forward it hesitantly, wanting to see Mu Rong.

Mu Rong is already preparing to fly to Xiangjiang to shoot "Baby Project".

Knowing that Wang Baoqiang wanted to see him, Mu Rong took the time to meet Wang Baoqiang.

After seeing Mu Rong, Wang Baoqiang was very excited.

He told Mu Rong that he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had been a lay disciple at the Shaolin Temple for six years.

In order to prove that he didn't brag, he directly practiced a set of boxing techniques for Mu Rong, and he also came to a one-word horse.

He said that his dream is to become a kung fu superstar like Li Lianjie and Mu Rong.

When he learned that Mu Rong was going to shoot Fang Long's new movie, he was envious and wanted to see it for a long time.

He spoke Mandarin with a strong provincial accent, but his attitude was very earnest.

Mu Rong had a good impression of him, so he encouraged him and asked him to shoot this "Soldier Assault" well.

If he acts well, then Mu Rong invites him to shoot a kung fu martial arts movie that he likes.

Wang Baoqiang was very excited, and was about to pay homage to Mu Rong, but was pulled up by Mu Rong.

He said that he will definitely perform well and never disappoint Mu Rong's expectations.

Mu Rong didn't expect much from him, because his martial arts skills could only be regarded as average, and he didn't give Mu Rong much surprise.

But movies can be shaped by technical means.

Leslie Cheung doesn't know any martial arts, he can be designed by him to be a flying knife master.

If Mu Rong wants to praise Wang Baoqiang, it is not a big problem.

After Wang Baoqiang went back, he turned down the contract of the martial arts TV series and joined the crew of "Soldier Assault".

And Mu Rong also took Liu Yifei and boarded the plane to Xiangjiang.

Fang Long's side, "Baby Project" is about to start.
