The two of them exchanged numbers and went to Xiao Yunhai's study together.
Xiao Yunhai printed out a copy of "Crazy Stone" for him and signed a temporary actor agreement before going downstairs.
Seeing the document in Wang Li's hand, Li Xuanwu's eyes lit up and a happy smile appeared on his face. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good luck, Ah Li."
Wang Li nodded forcefully.
When the other actors saw this, how could they not know what had happened? They all looked at Wang Li with envious eyes and thought to themselves, "This guy is really lucky."
Half an hour later, Li Xuanwu left with everyone.
Xiao Yunhai invited Wu Zixu and the others to the study. He turned on the computer and said, "Teachers, what do you think of the script?"
Wu Zixu smiled and said, "When has Xiao Yunhai's script ever disappointed us? Although I've only seen the rough outline of 'Crazy Stone', I already understand the meaning behind it. This kind of multi-story approach has never appeared in Hua Xia before. As for 'Crazy Racer', it's exactly the same. A few clues advance side by side, and it's very interesting. If it's filmed well, the box office shouldn't be wrong. "
Wang Guoan sighed and said, "These two movies are very dark and humorous. The structure is very ingenious, especially that 'Crazy Racer'. One link after another, one clue after another, and one doesn't dare to relax at all. If it wasn't for the fact that there really isn't a suitable role for me, I'm afraid even I would want to act in it. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Thank you for your praise, teachers. Let's talk about the actors. I've already handed the role of Bao Shihong in 'Crazy Stone' to Wang Li, who came over today. Black Panther has been handed over to Huang Bo, and I'll be acting as the thief, Mike. 'Crazy Racer' will directly let Huang Bo play the male lead, Geng Hao. As for the other roles, we haven't found suitable actors. How about this, let's talk about the thief in 'Crazy Stone' first. He needs to speak Hebei dialect. Who do you think is suitable? "
Sun Yanjun asked, "Yunhai, do you have any requirements for the actors?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "No requirements. As long as the image and acting skills were suitable, nothing else was within the scope of consideration. Of course, his character must be upright. "
Sun Yanjun smiled and said, "Then let me introduce you to someone. His name is Xie Qun. He's 40 years old this year and is from Hebei. He entered the circle when he was 18 and has been filming for more than 20 years. He can be considered a veteran actor. I think he's quite suitable. "
Wang Guoan said, "I'll tell you about one too. His name is Lu Yi. He's forty-two years old and speaks in an authentic Hebei dialect. In the past, he was a skit performer. Later on, he became a drama actor. Five years ago, he joined our industry. I've seen his plays before, and he's very good at it. He should be good as well. Old Sun, I'm not fighting with you. I just want to give Yunhai a chance to choose. "
Sun Yanjun laughed and scolded, "I'm not that petty. Besides, this Xie Qun, our friendship isn't that deep. We've only had a drink together once. "
Xiao Yunhai noted down the names of the two people and said, "Teachers, is there anyone else you think is good?"
Wu Zixu thought for a moment and said, "Back when we were filming 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,' Li Long, who played the role of the sect leader of the Taishan Sect, is not bad. He can speak several dialects. He should be fine as Brother Dao."
Xiao Yun Hai didn't say another word and quickly added him in.
Seeing that no one had anything else to say, Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, it's them. After we return to China, I'll get the three of them to audition. The next role is Xie Xiaomeng. His image needs to be fatter and more obscene … "
Just like that, Xiao Yunhai, Wu Zixu, and the others discussed for a full two hours. With the help of Wu Zixu and the others, they found a few suitable candidates for each role.
As for who to choose, Xiao Yunhai needed to seriously consider it.
After settling all the roles, Xiao Yunhai stood up and said, "Thank you for your recommendations. You've really helped me a lot. "
Wu Zixu said, "Yunhai, when do you plan to return to China to prepare for the filming?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "'Inception' will premiere in North American cinemas on May 4th. There's still half a month before that. I'll settle the publicity for this movie tomorrow morning. When it's nearing the premiere, I'll promote it properly. "
"Tomorrow afternoon, I'll return with everyone and set up the filming crew as soon as possible. Then, I'll find a competent assistant director and let him lead the crew to a suitable filming location. The actors for the two movies also need to be confirmed within this period of time. When the time comes, I'll mix the two movies together. "
Senior Lee Hoon said in shock, "No way. Yunhai, you want to shoot them together? Is that possible? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Why not? A movie doesn't have high requirements for a filming location. It can be put in one place. As for the makeup, photography, production, stage management and other departments, just set up two of them and let them do their jobs. The one that's fully prepared will be the one that's shot first. If we can create a competitive atmosphere, it'll be even better. The filming will be very efficient. Maybe we can finish it in a month. "
Wu Zixu felt that it was a little unreliable and said, "Yunhai, can you do this? Why does it sound a little childish to me? "
Wang Guoan laughed and said, "Director Wu, don't worry. Others might not be able to do it, but Yunhai definitely won't. In terms of management, Yunhai is much better than any other director, including you. "
Then, Wang Guoan explained Xiao Yunhai's management methods in 'Empresses in the Palace' to everyone.
Wu Zixu smiled bitterly and said, "This kind of monetary stimulation is quite good. However, only you, the director cum investor, can use it. Simple directors like us are not suitable. At the very least, we can't get past the producers. Hehe, in this way, the filming costs will be quite a lot, right? "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Not really. Although it looks like we'll need to spend a few times more money, in fact, it's not as much as we thought. Because after the efficiency is improved, the entire filming cycle will be shortened. Just this part of the money will save a lot. For example, last year's' Langya's List 'finished filming a whole month earlier than the filming schedule. I got someone to calculate it, and it only cost an extra seven to eight hundred thousand. "
Sun Yanjun gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're awesome. Teacher Ge, is' If You're the One 'filmed this way too? "
Ge Wuyou nodded and said, "That's right. However, this kind of method has very high requirements for the actors. Anyway, I'm very tired. After filming this scene, I didn't even have time to catch my breath before the next scene started. Luckily, I still have some skills. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to hold on. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Teacher Ge, you're too humble. Among all the actors, I think you were the only one who was relaxed. Hehe, it's very late now. Let's rest early. Director Wu, don't worry. With these suitable actors, I definitely won't delay 'Battle of Red Cliffs'. "
