Chapter 155 Casting Completed

“Wu Er Shan!”

According to the plan, this star gravity project will be brewing for more than two years, and a few will be selected from many candidates for key support. .

Lin Nan was recruited by Liu Dehua to speed up the project.

Looking at the resume, I saw that although this person graduated from Nortel's directing department, he worked as an advertising director after graduation.

So far, I have only made one independent film, which won a marginal award at the Busan Film Festival.

“It’s really incomparable to Ning Hao.” Lin Nan sighed.

But he decided that this was it.

Looking at the resume, Wu Ershan has something in the art field. It should be no problem for him to help himself and become an assistant director.

Lin Nan replied an email to Liu Dehua and decided to choose Wu Ershan.

...

"Red Cliff" was originally going to be filmed at the end of this month, but suddenly news broke that there was a last-minute change of roles.

The media also learned for the first time the actual budget of "Red Cliff", which was 600 million.

Because the movie has been divided into two parts, one and two, many actors are clamoring for a salary increase. For example, Tony Leung Chaowei, who replaced Chow Yun-fat, asked for an increase from US$1.5 million to US$3 million. The former asked for a higher price at the time.

Lin Nan felt that Han Sanping must have a big head at this moment. This project was still decided by him. It looked like he might not be able to start the machine on time.

South Korea's "Monster on the Han River" did not show any signs of acclimatization. It took in a box office of 10 million in the three days of the weekend, and the growth was so fierce that domestic films in the same period were unable to fight back.

Lin Nan's "Buried Alive" will be released in a week.

China Film, the company responsible for arranging films, really miscalculated this time. The imported films were too dense.

Domestic films in the same period were all complaining about this situation. They were doomed to lose money due to being squeezed by imported films.

Hua Yi was not looking for trouble, and actually released the news that he had got the female lead in Lin Nan's new movie "Painted Skin". As for which actor she was, it didn't matter whether she was revealed or not.

Because Li Bingbing is in "The King of Kung Fu", and "Painted Skin" seems to be about to leave the film, plus the reported production cost of 100 million.

The only person within Huayi who can hold his own is the actress Zhou Xun.

This caused many people to come to Lin Nan to inquire about this matter. There was no need for him to hide it, so he admitted it generously.

Zhu Yawen was also curious as to why Lin Nan gave the role to Hua Yi.

Lin Nan could only be vague. She couldn't expose Liu Xiaoli's shortcomings. She had to consider Liu Yifei's feelings.

In addition, Lin Nan took advantage of the situation and wanted to use Zhou Xun, while making Wang Zhonglei think that this was a benefit given by Lin Nan to completely calm down the Liu Xiaoli incident.

Yinghuang sent a message to Lin Nan that for the drama "Ip Man", they would work hard and do their best.

However, Lin Nan did see a new drama invested by Yinghuang and Shanghai Film Industry, "Slam Dunk".

No wonder Shanghai Film Studio did not get involved in the "Painted Skin" matter. It turned out that it was focused on this project.

Jay Lun's fan effect has been proven many times. As long as it is a movie starring him, his fans can push the box office to hundreds of millions.

The person chosen by Lin Nan to play Pang Yong has arrived.

Tall, handsome, and well-liked by the audience, he fits the temperament of the first commander of the Wang Family Army in the movie.

Only this kind of person can impress everyone in the movie background and in such troubled times.

"Director Lin, long time no see."

"Brother Jiao, sit down quickly."

In the reception room, Lin Nan invited with a smile.

Jiao Enjun was a choice in his mind. After the news from the Hong Kong media came out, he simply made his decision.

Jiao Enjun is a member of the singles gang. If a person can push open the door of the CCTV TV drama production center, you can imagine his strength.

Actors who are good-looking or handsome are always ignored for their acting skills.

But this is not obvious with Jiao Enjun, his acting skills are great.

What impressed Lin Nan the most was his Zhuo Donglai, whose acting skills were explosive and charming.

“I am very honored to receive a film invitation from Director Lin, but as you know, "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern" will start shooting at the end of August, so in terms of time..."

Jiao Enjun spoke.

"Don't worry, it should be completed before July. I plan to finish this movie within two to three months."

"That's fine, I'll still take it during this time ”

The two sat and chatted for a while, and Lin Nan told Jiao Enjun that Shu Chang was among the actors this time, and they were also acquaintances.

……

After Jiao Enjun left, not long after, there was news on the Internet.

There is a high probability that Bay Island actor Jiao Enjun will join "Painted Skin".

Many netizens think this is Lin Nan’s response to the previous Hong Kong media, but most viewers are looking forward to it.

"Jiao Enjun? That's great, Li Xunhuan, Erlangshen, Zhuo Donglai..."

"He plays "Painted Skin", he won't kill the fox demon in one round, right? After all, I am the God of Justice, haha... …”

Lin Nan could guess how happy the netizens were.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li went to Beijing, along with those foreign actors.

The media broke the news that Li Lianjie is working on "The Mummy 3", and the topic became full of buzz in an instant.

The Beidian Arts Examination ended successfully, and the final pass list has been posted.

Many people who were dismissed from the undergraduate program turned around and went to Nortel Vocational College with very clear goals.

Lu Zheng called and specifically talked about this matter with Lin Nan. In and out of his words, he hoped to take more care of Jingtian in the future. Now he can be regarded as a senior brother and junior sister.

Lin Nan said a few perfunctory words but didn't take it seriously.

Liu Yifei finally rested and ran out of the martial arts school.

Together with Shu Chang and Zhu Yawen, the four of them had a barbecue at Lin Nan's side.

Wang Jinghua still failed to get Zhu Yawen into the cast of "Red Cliff", but there are many TV series and endorsements.

“The four of us haven’t gotten together for a long time.”

Everyone agrees with Zhu Yawen’s words. We usually have things going on and it’s hard to get them together.

"Changchang, I heard from Director Zhao that you went to accompany the audition in person?"

Lin Nan asked.

Shu Chang nodded silently, "Well, my elders asked me to follow..."

"I keep my own remuneration, I am no longer a child." Lin Nan reminded me tactfully. . "Changchang knows, you don't need to remind me," Liu Yifei said.

Only Shu Chang understood what Lin Nan meant. She gave a lot of her salary when she was a child to relatives, selflessly.

Seeing Shu Chang's absent-minded state, Lin Nan stopped talking about this topic.

Let’s talk about the film and television industry instead.

Lu Chuan's "Nanjing" has spent 20 million to build the city, but the planned start-up time has been delayed again and again.

The reason was finally revealed. The script review was rejected and the filming permit was not obtained.

“He should have written something he shouldn’t have written, otherwise for a movie with China Film and a provincial radio and television station as the producer, it would be impossible for the script to be rejected.”

Lin Nan gave his own judgment.

This kind of subject matter is rejected without even thinking about it. Either the three views are distorted or the theme is distorted.

I just don’t know if Lu Chuan will change the script a little bit next, or find a relationship with his teacher again, or do both?

It was said that it was a barbecue for four people, but the two women really didn’t want to get involved.

Shu Chang is better, Liu Yifei really has no talent in the kitchen. Shu Chang followed suit, holding his best friend's arm and waiting to eat.

Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen were busy during the whole process.

A few hours passed quickly, everyone went back to their homes.

Lin Nan drove Liu Yifei back to the martial arts school.

"The phone will be turned on later, and we won't see each other for a long time. I will miss you..."

Liu Yifei muttered, I don't know when she will be able to speak these words. Come.

"Me too."

Lin Nan replied politely, and a smile appeared on the girl's face.

"By the way, wouldn't she have any objection if you left your aunt and ran back alone today?"

"No way. Ever since she was confirmed to play the role of the Queen Mother, she has been busy all day long. I’m fascinated by those two scenes of her.”

Liu Yifei laughed and complained about her mother.

"We're here."

Lin Nan parked the car outside the martial arts school. He didn't go in this time. When he met Jackie Chan and the others, he had to say hello for a while.

“Huh?”

Liu Yifei pointed to her cheek and signaled to Lin Nan.

One click and the task is completed.

"Okay, go back quickly. Didn't you answer the phone just now? You have business."

Liu Yifei smiled and waved her hand and entered the martial arts school.

It’s business.

I was still deciding who to cast for the role of Pei Rong.

As a result, someone recommended an actor.

Chen Minghao and Zeng Li recommended their classmates here.

As soon as Lin Nan entered the company, the front desk told him that three people were already in the reception room.

Chen Minghao, Zeng Li, and Mei Ting.

I guess I was annoyed by the media, so I decided to just find a movie to film and hide away.

"How do you know that I am the only one missing? Haha."

"This is fate." Chen Minghao smiled.

"Senior Sister Mei Ting, hello."

"Director Lin."

Lin Nan knows the recent entertainment gossip. Mei Ting has been doing business since November and February last year. It was revealed that they were divorced, and they officially admitted that they were divorced a few days ago.

The media has been chasing her lately.

If Mei Ting were to play Pei Rong, not to mention it would be quite suitable, with a good acting skills and a good audience base.

Lin Nan is also quite envious of Chen Minghao and the others. They can also introduce resources to each other, which is better than most people.

“I made a promise first that no one is allowed to do anything during the group period.” Lin Nan said.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, the drama will not happen on the set of "Painted Skin"." Mei Ting smiled.

"Okay, July at the latest, Senior Sister Mei Ting, just set aside this period."

Recommendations from acquaintances have this advantage, as they will not push unqualified actors over.

......

"Really successful? Didn't you even try out for the audition?"

In the car, Mei Ting said in a daze.

"How else to try? Director Lin took a look and saw that your image is suitable. As for your acting skills, he must know about you. You are the Best Actress in Cairo, the Best Actress in Huabiao, and you have been nominated for the Best Actress in Golden Rooster... ”

Chen Minghao started counting on his fingers, and suddenly realized something.

"Haha, the year you were nominated for Best Actress in Golden Rooster, Director Lin's "Into the Dust" also failed to produce any results. It's best not to mention this."

There are some actors whose cost performance is poor. Very high, like Mei Ting, the acting skills are definitely up to par, and the price is not very expensive.

Now that all the actors have been selected, let’s look at the progress of the logistics team.

Inspection of shooting locations, design and production of costumes and props, etc.

It will definitely be easier for Mei Ting to play Pei Rong.

Unlike the original time, Zhao Yanzi actually refused the look that the crew designed for Pei Rong after she was poisoned, on the grounds that it would damage her image among the audience!

That’s bullshit.

That is to say, because she is a bigger celebrity, she finally forced the crew to succeed and successfully changed the look and redesigned it.

Logically speaking, actors cannot ask for this kind of transformational request.

It is outrageous to use the position of the second female lead to steal the limelight from the first female lead, and then turn it into a double female lead during the final promotion.

If this is left in Lin Nan's hands, she will definitely get out.
