March 22nd.

38 days after the release of "The Year in a Hurry", the day of the next painting was ushered in, and the final box office was also fixed at 590 million.

The box office performance surpassed "Adventure in the Center of the Earth 2", only one place behind "Mission Impossible 4", temporarily becoming the second place in the 2012 box office list.

"Old Xiao, congratulations."

"It should be me congratulating Mr. Chen, I made a lot of money this time."

Chen Heyu actually invested 2 million yuan in this drama to help him earn back 101 million yuan, with a return on capital of 5,000%.

After Xiao Yang finished filming the scene of "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk", he gave Ma Qiang the post-production work, and he worked non-stop for the "Manslaughter" project, and issued audition notices in the circle to find suitable actors.

"How's the preparation for Manslaughter? Have you found all the actors? ”

has been filming youth romance dramas, it is inevitable that it will give the audience the impression that it is just bad money, the goal of Shanhai Film and Television is to be the largest and strongest film and television production company in China, and it will enter the hinterland of the beautiful country in the future, how can it be limited to one type of film.

"There is an audition meeting in the afternoon, and Mr. Chen will come over to help check the checks?"

Xiao Yang touched a handful of hair, stepped on the big screen for the first time, and was responsible for the two roles of director and male lead, and he was a little unconfident.

"No problem, what time is it, remind me then."

Chen Heyu nodded, and then continued: "I made an appointment with Lao Hu at noon, do you want to come along?" ”

"Forget it, there's still a lot of work waiting for me."

Xiao Yang stood up, shook his head and sighed.

……

"Boss Chen, congratulations, the movie is making a lot of money, do you want to settle last month's bill?"

Hugo smiled enthusiastically and walked over to give him a hug.

"I got it on credit with my ability, why should I pay?"

"Mr. Cai has also made a lot of money this time, think about it, I still suffered."

Chen Heyu pouted and made a joke, when the play started, if he didn't have money, he would not have been able to find a coal boss to invest, and the candy puller also valued the other party's resources and connections.

"I'll treat you today and make it up for you."

Lao Hu pulled him to sit down, beckoned the waiter to arrange it, and then asked, "A bottle of plum wine?" ”

"There was an audition interview in the afternoon, and I didn't drink alcohol."

Chen Heyu smiled and rejected Lao Hu's proposal.

"Have you read the script?"

Chen Heyu picked up the small teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, one of which was pushed to Lao Hu, and asked casually after taking a sip of hot tea.

"Good book, really let me play it? Don't let me go. ”

Lao Hu picked up the teacup with a smile, looking excited, and he was afraid that Chen Heyu would miss the appointment, so he emphasized again.

"The male protagonist must be yours.,Can't run.,Now there's a problem? I need your help. ”

"As long as you say, it's better to pull investment or find actors, in a word."

Hu Ge patted his chest and said confidently.

"Now there is still a lack of a director who can shoot ancient costumes, this kind of strategy drama, without an experienced person in charge, eighty percent will mess up; In other aspects, a group of excellent service personnel are also needed. ”

After Chen Heyu finished speaking, he threw the problem to Lao Hu.

Everyone knows that Sugar Man is an expert in costume dramas, and there are a bunch of old mages in the company.

"Poof! What do you mean? Want me to help you dig into the candy man's corner? ”

Hu Ge's eyes widened, he squirted out a sip of tea, and looked at Chen Heyu in disbelief.

"This is called a good bird to choose a tree to perch, instead of nesting in the sugar man to waste time, it is better to join the mountains and seas towards a better future."

Chen Haoyu said nonsense, if it weren't for the personnel side, would he need to dig people personally?

"No, no, why don't I help you talk to Mr. Cai and seconded a group of people for you?"

Hugo came up with a compromise.

"No, I still hope to find a director, willing to join Shanhai, and the teacher can dig slowly."

Chen Heyu slowly raised his head, unwilling to compromise.

After thinking for a few minutes, Hu Ge made up his mind and said, "I'll ask you first, I don't guarantee that it will work." ”

"I don't have to worry about you, when the director takes office, when will we start filming."

Chen Heyu smiled slightly, saw that the goal was achieved, did not say more, and concentrated on dealing with the food in front of him.

On the other hand, Hu Ge looked absent-minded, thinking about how to wield the hoe.

The company's famous or powerful directors must have no drama, and they can only focus on those executive directors and assistant directors, on the one hand, there is no problem with ability and experience, and on the other hand, they have stronger ambitions and are easy to be moved.

Taking stock of a few alternatives, he silently compared them in his heart, trying to find the best candidate, after all, this "Langya Bang" is his own male lead, and the director can't be sloppy.

Chen Heyu glanced at Lao Hu, looking at his absent-minded appearance, and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After eating, say goodbye to Hugo.

After getting on the car, let the driver return to the company, before the short distance has been relying on the taxi, feel inconvenient, personnel there arranged a driver, convenient for his daily travel.

Back in the office, lying on the sofa and squinting for a while, I heard Lao Xiao's knock on the door, and looked at the time It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Who are the characters today?"

Chen Heyu rubbed his face, felt sober, and asked Xiao Yang.

"It's mainly the heroine, and the others can find some famous old drama bones, cheap dramas are good, and Li Ping's role was given to Tan Songyun."

While speaking, Xiao Yang carefully observed the boss's micro-expression, and found no abnormality, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

Mr. Chen should just think that the role is suitable.

"It's good, let's go, I'll go over with you and have a look."

Chen Heyu picked up his coat and let Lao Xiao lead the way in front, planning to meet the actresses with the best acting skills in this era.

Outside the audition room.

There are a lot of female artists here today, Bai He, who relied on the popularity of chick movies, Song Jia after Magnolia, Yan Ni, the shopkeeper of Tong, and the original heroine Tan Zhuo.

The audition interviewers were Chen Hayu, Xiao Yang, the executive producer, and the casting director of the film.

Introduce yourself first, then pick out a scene and improvise.

The order of the interview is determined by the size of the coffee seat, the acting skills of several big names are really good, Chen Heyu has level 5 acting skills, and his appreciation is still online.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of just now?"

Xiao Yang also called him Mr. Chen on a formal occasion and asked with a smile.

"You make your own decision, after all, you are choosing a wife for you."

Chen Heyu joked that the heroine played Ayu in the play, and her identity was indeed Xiao Yang's wife, after he pointed it out.

The producer and casting director next to him also laughed, leaving Lao Xiao alone to ponder.

"Look at it again, there are still artists from several companies."

Xiao Yang couldn't decide for a while, so he could only continue the interview first to see if there were any better candidates.

The huge box office results of "The Year in a Hurry" made some peers in the circle see the strong production level of Shanhai Film and Television, and heard that this drama is still Chen Heyu's book, so he immediately found a relationship to send the company's suitable artists over.

Naturally, you have to see it, otherwise you will offend a lot of artist companies.

Among the female artists in the back, there was no one who made him shine, and after several people communicated and discussed, they still gave the role to Tan Zhuo, and became famous with the role of the heroine of "Mr. Tree", let her play, Lao Xiao was even more assured.

"Brother Hayu!"

When interviewing the male protagonist's youngest daughter, the second one to walk in was Zhao Jingmai, and the two also made a cameo appearance as a "couple" in "I Want to See You" last time.

"Long time no see, little sister."

Chen Hayu smiled in response and motioned for her to start first.

This role is all child stars, and in addition to Zhao Jingmai, the post-00s actress is left with another Zhang Zifeng with good acting skills, but unfortunately he didn't come.

"Give it to her, there should be no problem."

At the end of the audition, Chen Heyu spoke, Lao Xiao nodded, wrote down Zhao Jingmai's name, and instructed the casting director to arrange to sign the contract.

Among the remaining actors, they are basically old actors with superb acting skills to improve the quality of the movie.
