Inside Wu Yuan's office.

Zhang Guorong, who had already finished the audition, handed several resumes to Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan took a closer look, and a smile appeared on his face, "Are you sure to choose them?" ”

In his left hand is Chen Kun's resume, and on his right hand is Yan Kuan's resume.

Zhang Guorong really fell in love with Yan Kuan at a glance and asked him to play the male number three who was originally played by Ji Zhenxi.

In terms of appearance, Yan Kuan, one of the four beauties of the world, is much more handsome than the actor of "Da Changjin".

What's more, the character of Monty was originally a "handsome" character in the movie.

He is a floodgate of memories in the film, not a real person, and he transforms into a writer, a driver, and a waiter many times, waiting by the confused protagonist.

Whenever his angelic face and gentle smile appear, the protagonists will wake up in the memories.

In a word, this character has to be earth-shattering in order for the audience to understand why the protagonists wake up from memories as soon as his face appears.

Chen Kexin found a Korean actor who is not outstanding in appearance, which is indeed a little bit meaningless.

Wu Yuan was very satisfied with Zhang Guorong's choice.

Of course, he chose Chen Kun to play the leading role, and Wu Yuan was even more satisfied.

It can't be said that Zhang Guorong chose it, he really didn't have to choose.

If Wu Yuan does not restrict the use of only mainland actors, Zhang Guorong can find a lot of actors who are suitable to play Lin Jiandong.

But limited to the mainland, there are not many actors of the right age to choose from, and if you want to choose one of the 20-30-year-old actors in the mainland, the most suitable one is Chen Kun.

Otherwise, Chen Kun would not have acted in five movies in the last two years.

Now in mainland films, as long as the project is set up and the preparation begins, and the actor is under 30 years old, the first thing is to find Chen Kun first and hand him the script.

Everyone in the circle jokes that in all the movies to be filmed in the mainland, the script of the actor will first go through Chen Kun's hand, and after he picks it once, the rest will be given to other actors.

On the actress's side, it is Zhou Xun who has this treatment.

It's not that Gonghuang and International Zhang don't have this treatment, but the movies prepared in the mainland are not worthy of their coffee positions now.

To put it bluntly, I can't afford to invite them to play the heroine.

Gonghuang and International Zhang are now actively contacting the Hong Kong circle and Haolaiwu, and they can't look down on the three acres of land in the mainland.

Well, except for Zhang Yimou and Wu Yuan.

Their movies can afford these two, and these two can't wait to be in their movies.

Back to business.

Zhang Guorong decided to use Chen Kun to make up the golden partner of Zhou Xun + Chen Kun, and Wu Yuan was of course happy to see this.

"Zhang Sheng, then it's decided?"

Wu Yuan laughed: "The choice of other supporting roles, you can just look at it yourself, and you don't need to give me a look." ”

"I won't be a producer of "If Love" this time, our new movie should be launched together, and I don't have time to help you supervise it."

Wu Yuan gave Zhang Guorong enough authority as a director in the crew, and in addition to funding the script, he did not have any other behavior to criticize Zhang Guorong.

This also made Zhang Guorong very happy and felt that it was right to sign into the era of light and shadow.

"Director Wu, don't worry, I will definitely make this movie!" He assured Wu Yuan with a serious look and some expectation.

The casting of "If Love" lasted for three days, and Zhang Guorong finalized Hu Jun to play a film producer in the movie, and after Xu Qing came to play Lin Jiandong's agent, the crew entered the official preparation period.

However, before the start of this movie, Zhang Guorong's first directorial work "Stealing Hearts" was first released in the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

This movie, which can be called the crystallization of Zhang Guorong's dream, because of the gimmick of "Zhang Guorong's first film directed", achieved a box office of 1 million yuan in the mainland and 2 million Hong Kong dollars on Hong Kong Island on the day of its release.

After the first day of release, some film critics also spontaneously published their reviews in newspapers.

As a debut film, the completion of "Stealing Hearts" is still very good, and the theme of "love" is also the theme that the audience never gets tired of watching.

Maybe the plot will be a little bloody after 20 years.

But in this era when Qiong Yao dramas can kill all sides, movies like "Stealing Hearts", which two men and one woman constantly misunderstand and miss, do not seem to be bloody.

At least it is much stronger than what movies such as "Daddy's Love", "Echoes of Emotion", and "Beautiful Concentric Knot" were released at the same time.

Within a week of the film's release, "Stealing Hearts" achieved a box office of 8 million yuan in the mainland, and the box office on Hong Kong Island also exceeded 12 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the reputation is not bad, whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong Island, most film critics and industry insiders think that Zhang Guorong's transformation debut is a success.

The king of sunglasses even publicly accepted an interview with Ming Pao, praising Zhang Guorong's "Stealing Hearts" for its mature filming, which does not look like a rookie director's work at all.

In the interview, he did not hesitate to praise Zhang Guorong, and believed that Zhang Guorong is expected to become the leading figure in the next generation of directors on Hong Kong Island.

Of course, he didn't mention a word about the mainland capital of this movie and the producer Wu Yuan.

Several mainland leading actors were also deliberately ignored by him, and the entire interview only revolved around Zhang Guorong.

Han Dong, who saw the relevant news reprinted in the mainland, was not happy, and the king of sunglasses only had Zhang Guorong in his eyes?

Immediately, he ordered his propaganda department to open fire, and many large newspapers in the mainland wrote various propaganda drafts around the starring role of "Stealing Hearts" and Wu Yuan.

Today praises Ning Jing and Hu Jun and others for their good acting skills, tomorrow praises Wu Yuan, the producer, for his intentions, and the day after tomorrow praises Zhongying's insight into heroes, in short, the success of "Stealing Hearts" and Zhang Guorong is the result of the efforts of everyone in the crew, and everyone has credit.

In this way, the media on Hong Kong Island and the media on the mainland fought each other, and for more than a week, "Stealing Hearts" dominated the headlines of newspapers in both places.

This has made the fame of this movie continue to rise, and it has also promoted the continuous growth of box office results!

However, Wu Yuan didn't care about this, but after paying a little attention to the movie when it was released, he threw himself into the drama performance of "Romeo and Juliet".

Wu Yuan's first year of doctoral studies is coming to an end, and at the end of June, his drama will be performed by the teachers of the directing department.

Although Wu Yuan thinks that he has rehearsed this drama very well, the actors have also been trained by him to the best state.

But when the "exam" is approaching, he is still a little anxious, and the rehearsals arranged for the actors are more frequent.

It's not frequent, his next schedule is very tight.

After the performance of "Romeo and Juliet" is completed, Wu Yuan will fly to the United States to attend the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and will stay in the United States for at least half a month to accept various interviews.

After that, he had to rush back to China non-stop and officially start the scenery, cornering, and filming of "Your Name".

Wu Yuan, who had been salted for more than half a year, fell into busyness again.
