Chapter 394 Casting

Although Mu Wen's budget was 200 million less this time, he could accept it.

Who are the actors that should be found?

Among the male protagonists, his favorite is actor Zhang Duo.

This is also an actor he must win.

Every director has his own unique vision.

He came up with the script himself, and conceived the story in his own mind.

In the script, he has a definition in his mind for every character's image.

He probably knows which actor is more suitable.

Zhang Duo, he would rather give him 10 million more, but he must win him.

"Qidian Group, just wait and regret it. Just wait for my drama to become a hit this year."

"It's almost time for Zhang Duo to respond."

…

On the other hand, Chu Yunxuan has also decided to cast Chen Shuting, the sister-in-law of "Kurst".

It was the actress named Riemann recommended by Lin Miaomiao.

Very consistent.

She wasn't that popular, but after the audition, Chu Yunxuan was particularly satisfied.

As for herself, she was actually quite surprised that Chu Yunxuan wanted to film.

Normally she wouldn't answer it.

First, she loved the script.

Second, she is short of money.

She doesn't have many film dates.

Chu Yunxuan offered her a salary of 5 million, and she could say that the main reason was because of the money.

So after agreeing, she passed Chu Yunxuan's audition.

Then it’s settled directly.

At this moment.

Zhang Duo is in his study at home.

"Mom, what is dad doing?"

Zhang Duo's daughter looked at her mother and asked.

"Your father is busy at work."

Zhang Duo's wife explained patiently.

That's right.

Zhang Duo has been in the study for a long time.

He's been reading the script.

Then he sat in a chair and thought deeply for a long time.

He took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Sister Chen."

"Brother Duo."

The names of these two people are also quite interesting.

One is called Sister Fang and the other is called Brother Fang.

Zhang Duo said: "This script is really good."

"Really? Then I'll take it for you?"

Zhang Duo nodded and said, "Okay, take it. I have the urge to star in this drama."

"At that price..."

"That's the price. I'd rather have it a little less. It doesn't matter, as long as the photo can be taken well." Zhang Duo said.

Sister Chen: "Forty million is not high for you, but for your quotation, it is already pretty good."

Zhang Duo quickly explained: "It's not 40 million, it's 30 million."

"ah?"

Sister Chen asked: "Isn't it "The Storm"?"

Zhang Duo: "It's "Crazy"."

Sister Chen:? ? ?

"Which movie is "Horse"?

She organized them all, but she didn't even have any impression, which only meant that she didn't care that much.

"Wait a minute and I'll take a look."

After a while, Sister Chen's voice came from the phone: "What the hell? My negligence, my negligence, why did I give you this film contract? Isn't this just a joke?"

This time Sister Chen remembered.

It seems that Chu Yunxuan also sent a message about the drama appointment.

This is "Horse".

Her idea at the time was to simply rule it out and not consider it at all.

Isn't this a joke?

Are you, Chu Yunxuan, the director?

What international joke?

You are a newcomer as the director, and then you ask her Zhang Duo to be the male lead. You don't want Zhang Duo to be good.

However, she was too busy to remember.

Forgot all about this.

When sorting out film appointments for Zhang Duo, I also included Chu Yunxuan.

"What?"

Zhang Duo asked.

"This is a play that Chu Yunxuan is going to direct. I want to exclude this."

Zhang Duo said: "I know."

"Then you still..."

Zhang Duo: "But this script is really good. I also want to ask you for his contact information. I want to see if I can play the villain. That role is more challenging for me, and the person who plays the role The design is more malleable, and there is more room for performance.”

Miss Chen: ???

Zhang Duo has already begun to conceive the role?

"This... Brother Duo, the director of that play is Chu Yunxuan. Do you know Chu Yunxuan?"

Zhang Duo smiled: "I know, what's wrong?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Zhang Duo said: "I only know the script. Chu Yunxuan is indeed a newcomer..."

"Brother, it's not a question of whether he's new or not. He's a singer. Even if he's an actor, he's only filmed one movie, right? The filming hasn't finished yet. Now he's going to be a director."

Zhang Duo smiled and replied: "Sister Chen, you think about one thing. First, I can help him on the set. Second, what you said is correct, but if he understands and learns What about directing? Even if he’s not that good, I think that since he’s going to do this, he must have something, at least he can’t be ignorant, right?”

Zhang Duo continued: "It's nothing more than details. I can also help him. Mainly this script, I like it very much."

“Isn’t ‘The Storm’ bad?”

"Whether it's good or not, I'm willing to act in it, but in front of the script of "Crazy", I think it's a bit ordinary."

"ordinary?"

"To put it simply, "Storm" doesn't rush, it is very balanced in all aspects, very detailed, all are good, but the story is still the same kind of story, some common stories in anti-crime dramas, "Hurricane" is different, really different Likewise, this drama may be a hit, but I am confident that as long as it gets started and the details are well grasped, it will become a hit."

"So, as you said, the details depend on the director. Veteran directors have this ability. A new director doesn't even major in directing at university. How can he control these things? It depends on your studio. Do you want to give him advice one by one?"

Zhang Duo smiled: "Although this Chu Yunxuan is not a professional, I still have some understanding of his acting skills in filming "Zhu Xian" and the details of his performance. He understands, he understands very well, so I quite believe it. of."

Sister Chen sighed: "Hey, think about it again."

"Don't think about it. When will the filming take place? Please ask specifically and free up my schedule."

Sister Chen: "..."

…

The next day.

Mu Wen woke up.

He saw many actors he wanted and basically agreed to his appointment.

Muwen is in a good mood.

"Okay, where's the hero?"

He took a look and saw a missed call from Zhang Duo's agent.

"The grass has fallen."

Mu Wen quickly called the phone.

"Oops, Sister Wang, I'm sorry, I'm too busy. I missed your call. I'm really sorry."

Mu Wen also had a smile on his face.

"Director Mu, you're welcome. That's it. I want to tell you about the play."

"You say you say."

"When do you want to start filming this drama?"

Mu Wen: "I think we can almost start filming in November."

"That's a pity. Brother Duo is not available during this period."

"Huh? No schedule? I've seen it before, he should be available at that time."

Sister Chen: "That's right, it's just right. We have decided on a film for the time being, and we will probably start shooting in November. Now we are planning to meet the director, try out the film, and discuss the specific situation. If it is finalized , then there will definitely be no schedule.”

"What play?"

The other side also hesitated for a moment and said, "'Hurry'."

"hurricane?"

Confused.

"Um."

"Which drama is this "Horse"? Why didn't I hear any news about it?"

Mu Wen asked a little confused.

Sister Chen said: "I'm really sorry. We may have a chance to cooperate next time."

Mu Wen: "I can add another ten million, Sister Chen. I really hope Zhang Duo can star in my drama."

Sister Chen said: "Director Mu, you also know that Brother Duo is quite stubborn. Basically no one can change the things he decides."

"Hey, that's such a shame."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Wen sat there confused.

"What 'Rush'?"

He then searched to see if there was any information about the show.

Can't find it at all.

Apparently there was no official announcement.

Come to think of it, just like me, the cast has not been confirmed yet, how can we make an official announcement?

"Made, what the hell is this? What's the name of this show? Are you playing house as a kid? And "Horse"? Why don't you call it "Defying the Sky"?

He was really confused.

How much money was paid to Zhang Duo to get such a powerful actor like Zhang Duo to agree to star in "Hurry Up"?

"Ah, it's all about the scene. What else can I say? Money is not the most important thing, a good script is the most important thing. What the hell."

Mu Wen cursed angrily.

…

the other side.

Chu Yunxuan has already talked a lot with Zhang Duo on the phone.

Zhang Duo is currently on his way to Jinghai City and plans to talk in detail with Chu Yunxuan.

Chu Yunxuan also hurriedly asked the hotel to help arrange a relatively good box, and also waited for the arrival of the male lead.

After an afternoon of long talks, Zhang Duo has confirmed that he will join the cast of "Crazy" and play the role of the male lead An Xin.

Although he wanted to play the villain Gao Qiqiang more, he gave up after Chu Yunxuan's explanation.

Mu Wen was running into obstacles everywhere, but Chu Yunxuan was going smoothly.

Big contracts for several important roles on his side have been signed.

"The important roles currently include the two brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, the actor who plays the first villain Xu Jiang, as well as the important actress Gao Qilan, and the actor Gao Qisheng of the Gao family..."

"The role of Gao Qiqiang, the leading male villain..."

…

Another week passed.

The time has come to October.

Songs from Chu Yunxuan's third new album are currently stopped, but it doesn't matter.

The preparations for "Hurious" have basically been completed.

At present, there are two most important things.

Chu Yunxuan has never found the right actors for Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qilan.

Chu Yunxuan found several actors who he thought were suitable for Gao Qiqiang's role.

However, they all refused.

There are many reasons, probably mainly because I saw that the director was Chu Yunxuan.

As for Gao Qilan, Chu Yunxuan also found many actresses.

I've already auditioned for the show, and there's nothing wrong with my acting skills.

In the early stage, they could all grasp the image of Gao Qilan, the weak and ordinary sister of fish vendor Gao Qiqiang.

But in the middle and late stages, none of Gao Qilan's invincible royal sister's temperament met Chu Yunxuan's requirements.

Very important!

This is very important!

So until now, the two characters have not been found.

On the contrary, several veteran actors have already signed contracts.

The asking price is not high, the highest one is only 8 million.

This was successful for two reasons.

For the first one, Lin Miaomiao was very helpful. She knew many well-known seniors in the industry, and she helped to set them up.

Secondly, these old actors are artists.

Chu Yunxuan's script passed the test!

The only thing they were worried about was Chu Yunxuan's directorial skills.

However, when one part is solved, the other part will be solved easily.

For example, when some other actors learned that all these well-known veteran actors were starring, and the male lead was Zhang Duo, many people decisively agreed.

…

"Oops, what's going on?"

Some are happy and some are sad.

Na Muwen's casting encountered obstacles at every turn.

Forget about starring, several veteran actors he wanted to cast were unable to star because they were full of notices.

Although there are many veteran actors, there must be a few in his eyes that he thinks are the most suitable.

Although this week, his preparations are almost over.

But it was a little different from what he originally imagined.

Although it is acceptable.

The main thing is that everyone he invites to have roles in two episodes is basically relatively famous.

He wants to create the strongest cast this year.

This is one of the reasons why he invested so much.

When the time comes, publicity is very important.

He wants the audience to feel reassured just by looking at the cast before they even watch the show, and think it is a great show.

…

the other side.

Chu Yunxuan just finished filming "Zhu Xian" today.

Then he arrived at the venue he had rented for filming in Zhudian.

After all, Chu Yunxuan has gained mastery of directing, and many things are still very clear.

He has already had a chat with director Lu Sheng.

At that time, Lu Sheng's directing team will lend Chu Yunxuan to shoot the TV series "Crazy".

This money is definitely not wasted.

After all, those lighting technicians, makeup artists, etc. must not be in vain.

As for venues, I have traveled to many places during this period and have basically decided on most of the shooting locations.

Including the market at the beginning, Chu Yunxuan originally wanted to build a temporary venue.

However, a market with many years of history can be seen in the decoration, ground and other details.

Chu Yunxuan still chose to shoot on location.

I found a local vegetable market and just went there to take pictures.

Dong dong dong——

Lin Qin and Lin Miaomiao came to Chu Yunxuan's hotel room.

"You feel so tired lately."

Lin Miaomiao looked at Chu Yunxuan with a hint of worry.

"It's okay to run back and forth from place to place recently. After all, there are no announcements." Chu Yunxuan said.

Then Chu Yunxuan looked at them and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Qin smiled helplessly and said, "I'll share the burden with you."

"uh-huh?"

Lin Qin then asked: "The actor Gao Qiqiang has not been found yet?"

"Not yet, they all think I'm unreliable."

Yes.

Now that Chu Yunxuan is filming this movie, the biggest difficulty is that they don't trust Chu Yunxuan.

I feel that if Chu Yunxuan becomes the director, he will definitely be a loser!

Although there are many people who have already signed the contract, veteran drama stars, veteran actors, powerful actors and so on.

But the vast majority of people refused.

This is the result of the hard work of Chu Yunxuan, Lin Miaomiao, Lin Qin and the others these days to gather so many actors.

"I have a friend, maybe you can consider it."

Lin Qin looked at Chu Yunxuan and said.

"Would you like to play the role of Gao Qiqiang?"

"Yes!"
