Su Chen glanced at Xiao Yang.

"We're talking about Persian women, Tibetan women, and you're talking about Goryeo women, can this concept be the same?"

Xiao Yang was unconvinced: "How is it different, I can sing and dance the same, and I can't understand the same speech." ”

Huang Bo interjected: "The taste is different, a few years ago, I accidentally got an Eastern European woman, that figure, that appearance, and that eyes, there seemed to be stars in the sky......"

Xiao Yang was solemn: "I didn't expect Brother Bo to be a person who drove a big car, and he was disrespectful." ”

Huang Bo stepped back slightly: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

The corners of Sun Honglei's mouth twitched, obviously there was something good to share, but there were many people, and he could only endure it a little.

Huang Lei arched his hand and said: "I didn't expect that wolf friends from all over the world would gather in Liangzhou today, it's really time and luck." ”

Wang Xun lifted his glasses, with a slight apprehension in his eyes: "That's not as good as ......"

Su Chen: "No! Calm down, I see that this place is high in the west and low in the east, the outside of the city is barren, the terrain on the road is dangerous, and the people are not familiar with the place, if we are arrested by the government, we are afraid that we will be served in a pot. ”

Sun Honglei stroked his palm and said: "What Brother Su said is extremely true, my generation is all heroes and heroes, if you are not careful, you will fold the flag here, I am afraid that you will become the laughing stock of others." ”

Xiao Yang sighed: "Brother Honglei should not be shy, Mo Dao drifts without a confidant, and no one in the world knows you." ”

Sun Honglei rolled his eyes: "Bastard, how can you frame me!" ”

Su Chen appeased everyone and had no choice but to change the topic.

"But then again, there are indeed blond-haired and blue-eyed ethnic groups around Wuwei."

"Huh?"

When Huang Lei heard this, he couldn't help but be curious.

"Have you heard of it?"

Several people shook their heads.

Su Chen said: "There is a small village here, everyone in it is blond and blue-eyed, all of them are tall and big, obviously they look like Europeans, but they open their mouths to speak an authentic Wuwei dialect. ”

"Huh?"

Huang Bo couldn't help but be a little curious.

"What do you mean, a bunch of foreigners? Living in this place? ”

"Yes, and it has been living since the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago."

Xiao Yang couldn't help but be surprised, the things about Han Yuan and the girls of different races in his mind were not fun.

"Really?"

Su Chen smiled: "Of course it's true, the location of the interstellar framing is nearby, I can take you to see it if I have time." ”

"The first people found out that all the lifestyles in this village are the same as those of the Han people, but they are the looks of foreigners, and everyone is very surprised."

"Later, the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty were found near Zhelai Village, and almost all the people in them were about eight feet tall, all of them were men, and all experts deduced that they were not ordinary people, they should all be soldiers of the year."

Huang Lei didn't expect this kind of thing here.

"How do I sound like a movie?"

Su Chen smiled: "When I knew about this when I was a child, I thought how good it would be if it was made into a movie. ”

Sun Honglei was curious: "Then what?" ”

Su Chen said: "Then I finally found the origin of this group of people who have lived here for more than 2,000 years from the Hanshu. ”

"They were all Roman prisoners of war, and after the Battle of Zhicheng, it was probably around 35 AD."

"The Western Han Dynasty and the Western Regions all protected Gan Yanshou with 40,000 people, crusaded against Zhizhi City, and fought a fierce battle with the Huns here. During the battle, the Huns sent a very peculiar-looking army, and they would use a strange formation known as the "Fish Scale Formation", using shields to form themselves in a circle for defense, and those in the circle would hold their shields on their heads to prevent the loss of bows and arrows. Therefore, this formation is also vividly called the tortoiseshell formation. ”

"The Western Regions all protect Gan Yanshou and break through the tortoiseshell formation and break through the Zhizhi City."

Sun Honglei listened with fascination, and he couldn't wait to go back to 2,000 years ago to see the war situation at that time.

"Later, it was recorded in the county chronicles of Yongchang County that in the south of Yongchang County, the capital of Liangzhou, it was originally the county where Li Jing descended to the county, and Li Jing was our name for the ancient Romans."

Su Chen said with a smile: "So, by mistake, on our ancient Silk Road, there is an additional vein of the descendants of ancient Roman warriors." ”

"Probably a little purer than the Romans are now."

Huang Bo was amazed.

"Don't say, the last time I came to shoot no man's land, I saw the magic of the great northwest, and I came here today, listening to you say this, this is really a treasure land with rich history and culture."

Su Chen laughed.

"It's far away, let's have a good rest tonight, after filming tomorrow, I will go to Guizhou again, and in a month, I will come back again to prepare for "Interstellar"."

Huang Lei didn't speak.

Anyway, this time, the movie is said to cost 800 million, and he must follow it from beginning to end.

In the past, Su Chen was his student.

But now, at least in Huang Lei's opinion, he can learn a lot from Su Chen, and with such a large investment in domestic science fiction films, this opportunity to participate is rare.

……

This year's Extreme Challenge filming went smoothly.

And Su Chen also gave an important indicator to the program team, that is, try to prepare in advance, at most one episode in two days, and most of them are one episode a day.

Extreme men help everyone chase a whole bunch of things behind their butts.

If you really shoot for three months, it will be a real luxury.

Therefore, under such a hurried and slow shooting, Su Chen, the unscrupulous boss, forced the program team to compress the original two-and-a-half-month shooting plan into less than two months, and completed the goal.

Settle accounts.

In this way, of course, the actor's money should still be as much as it should be.

However, the crew members saved a lot of money, and Su Chen understood what Su's father had been saying to him all along.

In these years, there are two things to make money.

Upward famous, and downward exploitation.

If these two things are done well, the money-making thief will be faster.

……

In the end, the extreme challenge went round and round, and returned to Shanghai to finish.

On the table, Sun Honglei held a wine glass to apologize to Su Chen.

"It's really my brother can't help it, I have to go first, there are other scenes, the movie Interstellar, if you shoot it, no matter how busy you are, my brother will give you a strong momentum when he comes."

Su Chen said with a smile: "No, big things should be done small, and small things should be done big." ”

"Just start the film quietly, you don't need any media publicity, it's best to spread the news after the filming, that's good."

Sun Honglei pondered it like this, and felt that what Su Chen said was also right.

"It's a big thing to do, okay."

"Something called me anyway."

Sun Honglei left early, he still had a drama appointment there, and the whole crew waited for Sun Honglei for half a month.

Wang Xun and Xiao Yang also went back to Beiping.

Huang Bo and Huang Lei cooperated with Su Chen to prepare for the pre-filming of the film.

Talking about actors.

Huang Lei touched his chin: "Chenzi, let's talk about it, until now, we only know the general plot, and we really don't know what the whole script is about." ”

"I have no idea about looking for actors."

Su Chen said with a smile: "The script will be sent to you in a while, Brother Lei, you can also help me keep an eye on people, I need a little girl, and her acting skills must be very good." ”

"There is also a heroine, it must be good-looking, and this heroine can't be a vase."

"The requirements are to be good-looking, have a good figure, have good acting skills, and have a temperament."

Huang Bo frowned: "I think, if you have such high requirements, why don't you ask Qing if you want to act......

Su Chen: "......"

He almost choked on Huang Bo in one breath.

"The secretary can't do it, the secretary is mine."

"You have to find someone else, the age requirements are not high, between thirty and twenty years old, but if you want to have a temperament, you must have a temperament."

Huang Lei pondered for a moment: "Yang Mi can't do it?" ”

"Nope."

Su Chen said honestly: "Yang Mi is just an alternative, I really can't find anyone, so I will consider Yang Mi." ”

"But to be honest, you also gave Yang Mi a lesson, her performance is still a little stiff, if it really doesn't work, I'd rather find an amateur."

Su Chen's words were also very straightforward.

"I don't need to play the star lineup of the actors in this play, maybe others need all-star gimmicks to pull the box office."

"But I'm the box office."

Huang Bo licked his mouth: "Damn, it's really bad, but that's really what it's about." ”

Since last year, as long as there are four words "starring Su Chen" in the movie.

That's the box office.

This kind of thing can't be envied, there is no way, the audience just recognizes the word Su Chen.

Su Chen straightened his waist: "That's it, Brother Lei in a while, you and Brother Bo will look at the script or something, and I'll set the right actors in my mind first." ”

"Then when you finish reading the script tomorrow, we'll decide."

"Yes."

Huang Bo wanted to read the script before, but Su Chen didn't speak, and he didn't want it.

After all, there are many directors who don't like to show the script to others.

Even the actors don't know what the script is when they are on the scene, and the director says how to act, and it's over.

Su Chen was not afraid that Huang Bo and Huang Lei would pass on the script.

To tell the truth, even if this script is spread, I'm afraid no one will dare to shoot it in China.

Can't afford to shoot.

……

In the evening, Su Chen went to his studio.

There are a lot of materials hoarded here in the extreme challenge, and they all need to be edited, and Su Chen and all the brothers and sisters in the post-production department once again emphasized his requirements.

First, it must be real, second, it must be dramatic, and third, try to be funny throughout the whole process, but when it is time to be careful, you must be careful.

He's staring at the clip here, for two or three days.

After the whole team knew the effect Su Chen wanted, he could go back to Beiping to prepare.

The next day.

Su Chen made a list of actors he thought were suitable.

Some really couldn't think of anyone who could act, so they stayed empty and waited to discuss with Huang Lei and Huang Bo.

Inside the hotel.

Huang Bo and Huang Lei knocked on Su Chen's door.

Huang Bo was mysterious, and he felt the same as the code: "How is your role?" ”

Su Chen turned over the notebook in his hand with a smile and buckled it on the table.

"Two brothers, you read the script yesterday, what do you say first."

Huang Bo sat on the sofa opposite Su Chen with a look of surprise on his face, and smiled at Huang Lei: "To be honest, it feels pretty awesome, but I didn't understand it." ”

Su Chen: "......"

"Then what are you doing with this surprise on your face?"

Huang Bo laughed: "Because I found out that this film really needs to be hundreds of millions to shoot, I have never seen such a money-burning script, so I was surprised!" ”

Su Chen was speechless, he looked at Huang Lei.

Huang Lei also smiled: "I'm sorry, I don't understand it, is it too complicated, it feels ......?"

"It's just amazing."

Huang Lei organized the wording: "Anyway, let's just say it, no one has ever played like this, you dare to use your brains in this book, I admire it, anyway, I'll play with you, see how you play." ”

Su Chen knew that the script was like this.

It's not, there are no adjectives in it, so the picture in the director's heart, Huang Bo and Huang Lei, they can't feel it.

"Then what do you think should be done with the actor's part."

Huang Bo's brain didn't turn on the actor at all, and it was no surprise that the protagonist must be Su Chen himself.

He couldn't imagine what it was like for other actors in China to play the male lead.

"Actually, I took a look at the book, the real protagonists, there are five in total."

"The old expert, the daughter when she was a child, the daughter when she grows up, the protagonist, and the female astronaut next to the protagonist."

"The male protagonist must be played by Chenzi, this problem is not big, don't think about it more."

"There are two heroines in it, one is a female astronaut, and the other is the daughter of Morning after adulthood."

"They're probably about thirty."

Huang Lei said: "I think Zhou Xun may be able to try the role of a daughter when she grows up." ”

"And the old professor's words, I think all over the old actors who are more in line with the country, and this still needs to be picked by looking at the photos."

Su Chen took out the notebook in his hand and flipped it over.

"There are a total of twenty-eight main cast and crew members in the movie."

Su Chen took out the pen: "Let's solve our own people first." ”

"Brother Lei, I think your image is very similar to the astronaut in ice hockey in my mind."

"Which one?"

Huang Lei didn't expect that this scene would be arranged for himself first.

"It's the astronaut who knows that Plan A is hopeless, and he sends the wrong signal on a planet that freezes everywhere, waiting for rescue."

Huang Lei pondered: "I didn't pay attention to that role, but if you think I can play it, I can try." ”

Su Chen looked at Huang Bo: "Inside the spaceship, there is a black hole expert who has studied black holes for decades, Brother Bo, I think you can challenge this convenience, it is not comedy at all, and it may be able to broaden your acting path." ”

Huang Bo thought for a moment and pointed at Huang Lei: "In other words, I played the astronaut who was killed by him in the end?" ”

"Yes."

Su Chen said: "This is also the main role. ”

"The youngest daughter Mo Fei has to look for it again, and if the daughter who grows up is Zhou Xun, she needs to audition."

Su Chen rubbed his head: "Because the real protagonist must be set, unless it is really at a glance and thinks it is very suitable, otherwise, you have to think again." ”

"Otherwise."

"Brother Bo, all the roles, let out the news, and return to Peking in a few days, so that all the actors can come and try auditions."

"Only during the audition process, watching live, can you make the final decision."

Huang Bo nodded: "It's simple, you hold a core group here, and then things will be arranged." ”

"Where's Gao Yuanyuan?"

"What if Gao Yuanyuan plays that female astronaut?"

Huang Bo suddenly remembered that in the last "When a Man Falls in Love", the cooperation between Gao Yuanyuan and Su Chen seemed to be very pleasant.

And Gao Yuanyuan's age is also more consistent with the characters in the script.

"Gao Yuanyuan is also under consideration."

Su Chen actually considered Gao Yuanyuan, but he couldn't imagine whether Gao Yuanyuan could show that sense of wisdom when she played a scientist and a female astronaut.

But you can try.

The three of them sat in the hotel and made a list of twenty or thirty first-line and second-tier actors, and finally summarized them all and handed them over to Xiao Yang, who was already in Beiping, to deal with.

Once the notification is in place, it's time to start the audition.

……

Four days later, the late stage of the extreme challenge is on track.

Su Chen also returned to Beiping.

He went to Huairou to take a look at the venue, and really found a large factory building of about 6,000 square meters for him.

The factories have been abandoned.

It is about four or five kilometers away from Huairou Film and Television City, which is not very far.

In the factory, it is now April in Beiping, the weather is still a little cold, the whole factory is empty, and there is an echo when talking.

"Brother Chen, I'm sure it's been implemented."

"All the actor auditions are in the hotel next to Huairou, and they have been notified according to the time, and tomorrow and the next two days, all your time may need to be used to interview actors."

Xiao Yang looked up at this large factory and said, "It seems that this side used to be a light bulb factory. ”

"It's been abandoned for eleven or twelve years."

"It cost about 200,000 yuan, anyway, the contract was signed for 30 years, and the annual cost is 200,000 yuan.

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, put it down first, after a while, you may have to go abroad." ”

"I run?"

Xiao Yang looked confused: "I can't speak this Chinese, you let me go abroad and talk to people." ”

Su Chen smiled: "I don't know foreign languages, don't I have to ask for a translator?" ”

"When you go, it's the big dog, the armored side, and then the kind that is hugely rich, bring back the person in charge of the special effects artist or something, and I'll take action for other things."

Xiao Yang gave a thumbs up: "Yes, it just so happens that I will go abroad to expand the resources of my exotic singers." ”

Su Chen ignored him lazily.

pondering in his heart, it seems that he has to find a partner for Xiao Yang as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if you play like this every day, you can't control it, and I'm afraid something will happen.

Simple disgrace is a trivial matter, but if it is really Ai and Mei, Su Chen is not easy to explain to Xiao Yang's parents.

"Ah, by the way, also, you still have to contact, it's best to find a foreman in charge to come over, the whole plant here is refitted, and all the surrounding high-definition screens are LED."

Xiao Yang was stunned: "Brother, this is a sky-high price." ”

"It's okay, the money comes back, and the most high-end studio in China will be this in the future, and after filming ancient costumes with those directors, it is a concept to use architecture as a scenic spot."

"In the long run, there's nothing to lose."

Xiao Yang nodded: "Okay, you are the master, you have the final say, Brother Chen, Brother Chen, you are really not crazy, you can't survive." ”

"This actor hasn't been decided yet, and he's already spent millions, tens of millions."

"Why don't you just make a movie, how much GDP have you created for the country?"

……

Xiao Yang said it all, but things were done beautifully.

Everything is done in an orderly manner.

The next day, Su Chen was in the hotel all day, and he was going to audition today, and all the actors who came were actors with heads and faces.

To be honest, if it weren't for Su Chen's fame, these actors would never have come over to audition.

Because if you don't choose, how embarrassing is it?

The bigger the actor, the more he cares about this, or rather, it's not the actors themselves who care, but their agencies.

Therefore, to be able to come, is to give face.

The right to refuse is already in Su Chen's hands.

Su Chen found a line from the script, and the costumes of each character were ready, and they were changed into when they came, and then took a look.

I didn't say anything, I was dead.

The politeness is also in place, after all, Su Chen doesn't want to offend half of the people in the entertainment industry because of one casting.

But this thing itself has a somewhat offending nature.

Until the evening, Su Chen was already tired.

It's not a matter of physical strength, but all day long, he hears people say the same lines, and he keeps staring at these lines, and he feels a little unrecognizable.

"There is an actress from Wanwan, I think the image is very good, do you want to take a look."

Huang Bo also rubbed his brows.

He also has a headache, Su Chen's requirements for actresses are indeed a bit high.

Neither does this nor that.

But Huang Bo also understands that good directors are like this.

What you want is to feel a bright light from among the ten thousand people, and if you can't meet Su Chen's requirements, then it won't work, there is no reason.

"Let's see."

Su Chen took the information.

"People come all the way to take a trip, let's just take a look, there's no need to let people run away in vain."

Huang Bo said with a smile: "It's not for nothing, people originally came here to have a commercial performance, otherwise they came from Wanwan, when would they go." ”

Zhang Junning?

The actress who played "Ruffian Hero"?

Su Chen had an impression for a while, but he hadn't paid attention to it for a long time, resulting in a little bit of an impression.

After a while, a woman wearing a blue and white shirt, loose black cropped pants, and straight heels walked into the room.

She wore large earrings on her left and right ears, and her hair was smooth in a shawl, and her hair was not long, just at the shoulder level.

Zhang Junning's facial features are very heroic, and at the same time, her eyes have a little feminine softness in them from time to time.

"Brother Chen......"

"Brother Bo, hello, let me introduce myself first."

As soon as Zhang Junning entered the house, she was not so nervous, she was now in Wanwan at most second-tier, not first-line.

This time, I heard that Su Chen was auditioning, so I postponed the ticket for two days and came over to audition.

Huang Bo looked at Su Chen and found that Su Chen's eyes lit up.

knew that this girl had a play, so she also sat up straight and cheered up.

The girl in front of her is beautiful, her body proportion is good, and she is not a little girl at all, not only a little royal sister, but also a little pure, and she is as young as those twenty-two or three-year-old girls.

It looks like it's supposed to be twenty-seven or eight.

The important thing is that the proportions of her body are very just right, and anyone who looks at it will feel that this is a masterpiece of God.

"My name is Zhang Junning, and I have starred in "The Way of Survival as a Last Resort" and "Ruffian Hero" before."

"Hello Brother Chen, I'm your fan."

"I ...... I'm a little excited. ”

Zhang Junning patted her chest, she forgot what she wanted to say.

Su Chen smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's okay, in fact, you don't need to introduce it, do you mind changing into this spacesuit?" ”

Zhang Junning is different from actresses in the mainland, after other actresses came, they were all two or three assistants, or agents or something, and she came by herself.

"Ah, here it is?"

Su Chen shook his head: "Next door, next door, I'm afraid it's inconvenient here." ”

Zhang Junning also smiled embarrassedly: "Ah, I was also shocked." ”

She turned her head and went to change her clothes, not squirming at all.

Huang Bo hesitated for a moment: "Chenzi, do you think her image is okay?" ”

"Little actor, it's hard to say how the play is, and if you dress like this, you can't see the thick legs and thin legs......"

Su Chen shook his head: "Brother Bo, believe me." ”

"Thin legs."

"I know very well."

Huang Bo was disdainful: "It's like you've seen it." ”

Su Chen nodded seriously: "I've really seen it, and besides, her figure is absolutely unique, and her back is definitely suitable for cupping." ”

Huang Bo sneered and said, "Tut-tut, what about you put aside this smell and know women?" ”

Su Chen spread his hands: "If you don't believe it, forget it." ”

Huang Bo ridiculed and ridiculed, but he still had to get down to business: "Who are you going to let her play?" ”
