Chapter 248: Audition
For the play "Thieves", Lin Nan made a lot of modifications.
A large crowd is like a play, and the background is China and Hong Kong Island.
In this context, the ultimate theft is the national treasure.
Among the two teams, Liu Dehui is the captain of one of the teams.
Yue Jun knocked on the door and entered the office.
"There's news from Cheng Long?" Lin Nan put down the script in his hand.
Yue Jun spread his hands, shook his head and said:
After negotiation, his team felt that the group drama would affect the status of the big brother, even if it was the core character of the protagonist.
In addition, they feel that the salary has dropped too much, which is not in line with the value. ”
For this result, Lin Nan was mentally prepared.
At this moment, a phone call came, "Cheng Long? ”
"Hey, big brother?"
"Haha, Director Lin, I have to talk to you about the movie.
Actually, I wanted to take it, but the company has a lot of people to raise. I can't help it, I can only wait for next time, but thank you for thinking of me......"
Cheng Long's call was just right, he deserved to have come over for so many years, and he knew that buying and selling could not be benevolent.
explained the reason, and on the basis of contacting feelings, he also recommended his son to Lin Nan by the way, saying that if there is a suitable role, he will give him a chance to audition.
It's easy to talk about anything on the phone.
Lin Nan pondered, if Cheng Long can't do it, then change people. The captains of the two squads must be at least about the same level.
The mainland can play a leading role in this kind of commercial film, Lin Nan thought about it before, but none of them have a schedule.
"Go and help me contact Leung Ka-fai."
Lin Nan said to Yue Jun. The latter answered and went out.
Some people don't need to audition, like Liu Dehao and Leung Jiahui, Lin Nan can imagine the situation during the filming in his heart, which is definitely qualified.
……
The crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is now only short of a female lead.
Lighting and photography personnel, you don't need to look for them from the outside, you can use your own people directly.
These people are all veterans, and it is not difficult for them to switch from TV series shooting to movies, but the techniques and requirements have changed.
Lu Yang retreated, since he couldn't find the best, he chose Yang Mi.
Anyway, he also has the name of Four Little Flowers, and he has a lot of fans, which should help the box office.
When the latter received a call from Lu Yang, his mind went blank for a moment, followed by excitement and gratitude.
"Thank you Lu Dao, I will definitely play seriously......"
"Well, bring the agent, come over as soon as possible to sign the contract, and start next month."
"Okay, thank you, I'll go in the afternoon."
Hanging up the phone, after Yang Mi's excitement passed, she thought of the producer of the movie.
"Liu Yifei? Self-esteem is just that, the role is the most important ......"
Yang Mi is also a person who refuses to admit defeat, they are all peers, why do others mix so well.
"Once this step is taken, there will be a second step, a third step...... Sooner or later, I will surpass everyone else! ”
Lu Yang announced the complete fixed angle list of "Embroidered Spring Knife".
The heroine chose Yang Mi, which surprised many people, and then she could figure it out.
After "Sword and Fairy III", she is the hottest among young actresses.
Liu Yifei is not in the comparison, she is a price point higher than her peers by default in the circle, and now she has started to produce.
…………
Congratulatory text messages and phone calls from some classmates and friends followed, which made Yang Mi enjoy this feeling very much.
Inside the Don people.
Everyone can feel that Cai Yinong is in a very bad mood today.
As for the reason, everyone can guess. The default "first sister" in the company lost to the "white-eyed wolf" in Mr. Cai's mouth.
"There are still several TV series to be done behind the company, you have to work steadily for a year or two first......"
Cai Yinong looked at the person in front of him and sighed helplessly, "Embroidered Spring Knife" has no chance, so Lin Nan's new movie is even more daring to think.
Liu Shishi nodded, she still remembered Director Lu Yang's comment during the audition: Non-professional actors, weak basic skills......
……
Lin Nan didn't have any opinion on Lu Yang's choice of Yang Mi.
Perhaps it was the box office of Guo Wan's "Source Code" that stimulated Lu Yang, who began to consider these more famous young actresses in the choice of heroines.
The casting request for "Thieves" was posted.
The requirements of the male character are okay.
Film and television works with good looks, moderate figure, and good hands can all submit audition resumes.
When it comes to actresses, it's much more interesting.
In addition to the need for a slightly older powerful supporting actress.
The other most important female character is actually limited to about 27 to 35 years old, with outstanding temperament, good figure, and mature atmosphere......
……
As soon as this casting requirement came out, the Internet and the circle were not calm in an instant.
"Sexy and mature, royal sister?"
"Director Lin wants to open it? But it's a little bad to send it out clearly, right? ”
"If it weren't for Director Lin Nan's lack of lace news, what do I think he would do?"
"I didn't have it before, but now I can have it, haha......"
……
Looking at the discussion on the Internet, Lin Nan wanted to laugh, but fortunately it was not too crooked.
For the circle, the casting requirements come out, which means that the audition and competition begin.
The Film Bureau added fuel to the fire, and the information about "Thieves" was announced.
"League of Thieves, a commercial crime action film.
Producer; Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda Pictures.
Director: Lin Nan; Screenwriter: Lin Nan. ”
At this moment, everyone's hearts were steady, and a large number of audition resumes were submitted.
After Ren Zhonglun said hello to Lin Nan before, I heard that he and Han Sanping are having trouble these days, old friends, old enemies!
"Director Lin Nan, I'm Leung Jiahui."
Lin Nan was quite surprised, the other party actually called in person.
I remember the last time I was at the Berlin Film Festival, the two exchanged contact information.
"Good, Liang Sheng. Did you see the script? ”
"I've already read the script, and I'm honored to work with Director Lin on this movie......"
……
After the call, Lin Nan was relieved.
It doesn't matter if you don't have Cheng Long, Liu Dehao and Liang Jiahui are enough.
More and more audition resumes were sent, and Liu Yifei came to see if she had anything to do.
Since she came once, she has become familiar with the road, and no one is surprised that the proprietress has entered her own company.
An actress sent a resume, and it really came with a sexy photo album, so she was speechless and was brushed off by Liu Yifei......
"Director Lin, I recommend an actor to you, just play the older supporting actress."
The place on Hong Kong Island is like a shoal now, and there is no wave.
However, Liu Dehao took the initiative to recommend someone to Lin Nan, which the latter did not expect.
"Which one?" Lin Nan asked curiously.
"Sell it, hehe.
She has worked with me before, and she happened to have activities in the mainland in the past two days, so I asked her to audition, and Lin Nan will know when the time comes......"
Lin Nan still has to give this face, and he believes that Liu Dehao will not introduce any too bad actors to himself.
……
There were more people auditioning this time than any of Lin Nan's movies before.
After all, it's spread outside, and this is a group drama, which means that there are many opportunities.
The auditions for the female role are all familiar names.
Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Zeng Li, Yan Danchen, Li Xiaoran, Hao Lei......
Zhang Ziyi is too much, and he doesn't have any self-knowledge.
The actor has worked with sixty percent before.
There are also some new faces, such as: Deng Chao, Lu Yi, Tong Dawei, Feng Shaofeng, Wu Yan......
"Tell these people to come to the audition when the time comes."
Lin Nan pointed to a stack of resumes on the table and said.
"Okay, Director Lin."
It took two days to screen out these people, and then it was the audition stage.
Lin Nan looked at the situation of "Source Code".
In ten days, the box office has reached 32 million.
Guo Wan became famous in the first battle, and the media was full of praise, as if he was already a new commercial film director.
…………
Lin Nan Pictures' audition invitations were notified one by one, and many people began to arrange time and prepare.
"A movie has lost all the savings of the past few years. I hope I have good luck this time and can get the role of Director Lin......"
The actresses thought about it a lot, thinking about the requirements of the role, and thinking about what to wear during the audition, how to highlight their temperament and figure.
Guo Wan participated in many social gatherings in a row and returned to the company.
He was the assistant director of "Thieves" and had to participate in the audition session.
"Director Guo, Director Lin is meeting guests right now." An assistant reminded me.
"Visitors? Who? ”
"An actress introduced from Hong Kong Island."
At this time, Lin Nan was chatting with Hui Yinghong.
He didn't expect that Liu Dehao was the one who introduced him to play a supporting role.
That's almost fifty, right?
But I can't see it at all, it feels like it's about forty, and I have a good temperament.
"Hehe, Brother Da is still playing dumb riddles on the phone."
"I still have to thank him, I have made a comeback in the past few years, and I can't take many scenes......"
Lin Nan nodded, this one has acting skills, he had depression before, and he only came out in the past two years.
"I've still seen Sister Hong's works, and the recent "Heart Demon" is very good."
"Thank you, Director Lin, for the compliment." Hui Yinghong said with a smile.
She really hopes to get the role of this movie, and what she can play on Hong Kong Island is too repetitive.
Lin Nan knew what the other party was waiting for, and he didn't hesitate, it was indeed quite suitable.
"Sister Hong brought an agent?"
"Well, I'll be waiting downstairs."
"Then shout up, the actor contract still has to be read."
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Hui Yinghong knew that she had succeeded.
"Thank you, Director Lin, I'll call her up......"
……
In the office, Lin Nan signed the third actor of "Thieves".
"Director Lin, this is a third of the role?"
"Well, this is introduced by Liu Tianwang. Whether it's acting skills or temperament, I think it's very suitable. ”
Guo Wan nodded, looking at it as such, Hui Yinghong is also an old actor.
Lin Nan took out a list and handed it to Guo Wan.
"All the actors who are going to audition are here, get ready."
Guo Wan took a closer look, almost all of them were mainland actors, and at least they were above the second tier.
……
"Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was launched in a low-key manner.
Lin Nan didn't go to the scene to start the film, because the audition for "Thief" began, and the company was surrounded by reporters from all walks of life.
