As the vice chairman of Huaying Group, Han Sanping's power can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and the investment in the film project he proposed was naturally approved very easily.

For the movie "Ke Ke Xili", Fang Yan originally calculated that the shooting fund was about 2 million, but the Huaying Group meeting studied it and felt that the 2 million fund was not enough, so he increased the overall project fund to 3 million.

For this decision, Fang Yan is obviously happy to see it, which director would think that his film investment is too much?

The original calculation of 2 million is the minimum requirement for shooting funds, and in case of some unexpected circumstances, additional investment will definitely be required.

Now that Huaying Group has a lot of money, it directly increases the overall investment, which can be regarded as solving Fang Yan's worries, so that he does not have to be afraid when filming.

In the end, the "Hoh Xili" film project funded 3 million yuan, with 1.7 million yuan invested by Huaying Group and 1.3 million yuan invested by Xinghuo Film and Television Media Company.

Xinghuo Film and Television Media Company was recently established by Fang Yan, and the company is located near the Fulcrum Music Company, which can be reached in 10 minutes by foot.

Of the 1.3 million miles invested by Xinghuo Company, 1 million is cash, and the remaining 300,000 is Fang Yan's director and screenwriter's salary, which is converted into investment.

It is worth mentioning that Yu Nan and Duan Long signed a contract with Xinghuo Company, and they are the only two artists in the company at present.

As a small company that has just been established, Xinghuo basically has no network resources, and the reason why Yu Nan and the two are willing to sign a contract is entirely because of Fang Yan's feelings.

In this regard, Fang Yan was quite moved and had a strong sense of responsibility, and he must develop and grow Xinghuo Company in order to be worthy of this affection.

Because "Ke Ho Xili" has some snow scenes, the two companies are scheduled to start filming in October, and the estimated filming time is 2~3 months.

In the period leading up to filming, Fang Yan needs to prepare for the formation of the crew and select the actors for the main roles.

In terms of forming a crew, this point is easier to solve because of the contribution of Huaying Group.

Under the Huaying Group, there are several film studios and production companies, and the Imperial Capital Film Factory is one of them.

With the help of Han Sanping and Liu Jiaqiang, Fang Yan easily set up a small crew of about 100 people, most of whom were experienced veterans.

As a special "relational household", Liu Shixian was also selected by the crew as an assistant to the director.

In fact, Liu Shixian is not just relying on relationships, he was able to become the class leader of the directing department when he was in school, which proves that he is also very capable, but compared with Fang Yan, he looks a lot inferior.

Fang Yan is Liu Shixian's sworn friend, so he naturally wants to pull him along, and besides, there are so many people in the crew, there must always be a few of his own henchmen to do things.

…………

It's the end of June -

A corridor of Huaying Group was densely packed with people, sitting or standing, looking a little nervous, and their eyes looked at an office next to them from time to time.

On the door of this office, there is a striking red piece of paper that reads - "Ho Ho Xili" audition.

"Bah-"

The door suddenly opened, and a man of about thirty years old walked out with a depressed look on his face.

Seeing the man's appearance, there was a hint of schadenfreude in the eyes of the other people present, and it seemed that this was another one who was not chosen.

The people standing in this corridor are competitors to each other, and as long as the other party behaves unsatisfactorily, then it is good news for themselves.

This is the true portrayal of the entertainment industry, competition between dragon and dragon suit, star and star competition, no matter what your identity is, as long as you are an actor, you will face competition.

In the office, Fang Yan sat with the two assistant directors, and he rubbed his eyes a little tiredly.

Today is the third day of the audition, and the actor who is the second male Gayu is selected.

In the auditions two days ago, the actors of the male No. 1 Ritai and the male No. 3 Liu Dong have been basically determined.

In terms of Liu Dong, Duan Long stood out from a group of competitors with his superb acting skills, and got the role without accident.

In the words of the two assistant directors, after watching Duan Long's performance, and then watching other people's performances, it is simply spicy eyes, and it is really impossible to watch!

If it weren't for the sake of fairness, the people behind Duan Long wouldn't have auditioned at all, and would just go home.

Compared with Liu Dong, it is difficult to choose actors in Ritai.

The crew of "Ho Ho Xili" sent an invitation to the XZ Repertory Theatre, and finally more than a dozen actors came to the imperial capital to participate in the audition.

Of course, in addition to the XZ Repertory Theatre, the crew also invited several famous Tibetan movie stars.

Among them is the winner of last year's Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, the old gold of the movie "Heavenly Bath" - Lausanne Qunpei.

By the way, the heroine of "Heavenly Bath" is Li Xiaolu, who has nude scenes in this movie and became famous.

When it comes to acting, the actor Lausanne Qunpei can be said to be impeccable, and the only drawback is that the salary is too expensive.

Lausanne Qunpei is the new actor of the Golden Horse Awards, and the film is about to be picked at will.

Even if Lausanne Qunpei voluntarily lowered his salary, his offer reached a high of 800,000, and the crew of "Ke Ke Xili" really couldn't afford it.

Without waiting for Fang Yan to worry, the best candidate for Ritai appeared.

A Tibetan man with a small stature and a resolute face, when he appeared at that time, he immediately attracted Fang Yan's attention.

This man named Duobujie is the actor of the original "Hoh Xili" Ritai.

Born in 1953, Duobujie is an actor of XZ Repertory Theatre and a national first-class actor.

Over the years, while performing dramas, Duobujie has also played supporting roles in some movies, compared with Lausanne Qunpei, his acting skills are not much worse, and the salary is not high.

At the end of the audition on the day, Fang Yan had basically reached a consensus with the two assistant directors that Duobujie was the first choice for Ritai to play the role.

Of the three main male characters, only Gayu has not yet been determined.

"Director Fang, we've been auditioning for hours in a row, do you want to take a break?"

An older assistant director slapped his waist with a wry smile, and it seemed that he couldn't stand it.

"Okay, let's rest for half an hour."

Fang Yan stood up and moved, feeling that his legs were a little numb.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Fang Yan said hello, opened the door and walked out.

When the people outside the door heard the sound, they hurriedly looked up, and then their expressions were different.

Some pretend to be calm, some are flattering and smiling, and some are confused.

This feeling of being in the spotlight made Fang Yan feel a little emotional.

It's better to be a director, one sentence can decide the fate of an actor.
