Chapter 221 Casting for "The Wind"
Cheng Lingfeng is discussing the lineup of "The Wind" with Cheng Yu'an.

"We can't use too many people from Huayi this time." Cheng Lingfeng had a lot of opinions on this. The company did the dirty work, but it turned out that all the people from the agency company showed their faces.

"Before I didn't work as an artist manager because the timing was not ripe, we can't fall behind anymore from next year. Brother Hu is alone, and he is still working on dramas, and I have no one in my hands." Cheng Lingfeng said.

"Okay." Cheng Yu'an thought for a while, and felt that it would be impossible to delay, "If you want to sign, just sign."

Another reason is that now that Yuanqiu Films has successfully gone public through a backdoor, the company needs celebrities in front of the stage to give the company business cards.

As the behind-the-scenes staff, Cheng Yu'an and Cheng Lingfeng have always had limited exposure in front of the stage, and limited appeal to the audience.

Only then did Cheng Lingfeng feel that it was time to become an artist manager.

On the cast list of "The Wind", it has been confirmed that Gu Xiaomeng will be played by Mr. Zhou.

Huayi wanted to put Li Bingbing in to play Li Ningyu, but Cheng Lingfeng disagreed with everything.

"Although we don't have any suitable actresses in our hands, we can no longer use Huayi's. Both heroines are given to Huayi. Is this my project or his Huayi's project."

Cheng Lingfeng rolled her eyes, and had a ghost idea: "I heard that Mr. Zhou's contract with Huayi is about to expire..."

Cheng Yu'an knew what she was thinking as soon as she heard it: "Sign her? Don't even think about it."

Mr. Zhou's management team is notoriously good at playing monsters, and signing a long-established star like Mr. Zhou is quite low cost-effective for long-distance.

Mr. Zhou is undoubtedly the best actress in China, but when it comes to selling box office, Zhou is actually quite average.

At present, her highest-grossing film is Yao Yao's "Painted Skin".

It is better to let her set up a company by herself, and then invest in shares remotely to start cooperation.

When Cheng Yu'an said this, Cheng Lingfeng was right after thinking about it, and said, "I'll sign Qianqian here."

"Yes." Cheng Yu'an agreed of course, "You bring it?"

"I don't have time to bring artists. You take it."

"You still don't think it's messy enough." Cheng Yu'an smiled, "We don't want to make it public yet, and if I take her to tell what the outside world will say."

"You bring her so that we can stir up gimmicks and scandals. It will be easier for the audience to accept it when you make it public."

Cheng Yu'an rolled her eyes and ignored her.

That's all Cheng Lingfeng said, and he didn't really want Cheng Yu'an to take Liu Yifei with him.

The two returned to the casting of "The Wind".

Cheng Lingfeng said: "In just half a month, we have received no less than a hundred resumes. I have sorted them out, and you can choose from them." She said and handed Cheng Yu'an a cast list.

"The Sound of the Wind" is scheduled to start in February and March, so the actors have to be confirmed early so that they can prepare.

Cheng Yu'an first looked at a few supporting roles, and pointed to Bai Xiaonian: "What is he doing now?"

Pan Yueming.

"He doesn't have a brokerage company now. Kanazawa Taihe was acquired by Huayi, so he doesn't want to go to Huayi."

"Sign him!" Cheng Yu'an said, "Bai Xiaonian asked him to act. Is he in the capital now?"

"Yes, but he is 35 now. I saw him getting a little fat before. If you want to give him Bai Xiaonian, I will let him lose weight and let him learn opera."

"no problem."

Bai Xiaonian used Su Youpeng in the original time and space, and his performance cannot be said to be bad, but his agent in the mainland made an appointment with Huayi, so he had to miss it.

"I don't like Yingda." Cheng Yu'an looked at the name of Yingda behind Jin Shenghuo on the cast list, "This person is a bit careless in his work."

Yingda is a typical person with great ambition and talent.

Talented, but his success is more due to the east wind of the times
"Underground Traffic Station" he sold the film to Shandong Satellite TV in advance behind the back of investors.

This behavior clearly violates the rules of the industry.

"He was also brought in by Hua Yi. Who do you think will play the role?"

"Teacher Liang Guanhua." Cheng Yu'an didn't even think about it, "Let Teacher Wu Gang go and persuade him. A character as good as Jin Shenghuo should be able to invite him."

The role of the sixth master must be Wu Gang. Wu and Liang Guanhua are the pillars of the arts. If it weren't for "The Wind", he really couldn't arrange other roles. He would like to bring Feng Yuanzheng and Pu Cunxin together to teach the young actors a good lesson.

"Okay, Mr. Liang Guanhua, I'll talk about it myself. The trouble now is the two roles of Li Ningyu and Wu Tian. Li Ningyu has to find someone whose appearance and acting skills can catch up with Mr. Zhou to play."

"I started to like Li Xiaoran, but she has no schedule. She has a drama to wrap up next month, so she has no time to prepare for Li Ningyu."

Li Xiaoran's looks are good enough, but his acting skills will definitely not be able to catch up with Mr. Zhou.

"How is Zhang Jingchu?" His acting skills and looks are good enough.

"She took Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake", and she didn't have time for the whole year of 09."

This is a troublesome thing, the favorite actors don't have time: "Let's put it aside for Li Ningyu first. I originally wanted to give Wu Tian to brother Hu, but he wants to shoot "Mythology". Let's see who can play it."

"Just find a Japanese to act, and save the trouble of learning Japanese lines."

"That's true!" Cheng Yu'an was blindfolded by Xiao Ming, and when he mentioned Japanese actors, "Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law" came to Cheng Yu'an's mind.

"Let's find Kagawa Teruyuki. This buddy is a good kid, and I don't reject this kind of role."

"Who?" Cheng Lingfeng was relatively new to Kagawa Teruzhi.

"Happy New Year, brother and sister-in-law, I am your son and you are my father!" Cheng Yu'an learned the lines from "The Devil Is Coming".

"He!" Cheng Lingfeng understood, "He's really nice, I'll let someone get in touch with him."

"Let's leave it at that for now, and we'll find the rest of the characters slowly." Cheng Yu'an couldn't remember who he could use for a while, "How about Dalian?"

"Qiuzhuang has already started construction, and the start-up will not be delayed."

"The Sound of the Wind" was filmed in Dalian, and the manor had to be built now.

"Okay, let's do this first." Cheng Yu'an got up, "How is Ranqiu?"

Qin Ranqiu has been working with the special effects of "The Martian".

"It's not a big problem with him, but there is a problem with his wife."

"Chen Xi? What happened to her?"

Chen Xi has not yet changed his name to Chen Zhixi.

"Chen Xi is pregnant."

"This kid is fast enough." Cheng Yu'an was happy for his brother.

Cheng Lingfeng rolled her eyes and said angrily, "He's going to be a father soon. When will you give me a grandnephew? Not only does your grandfather want to have a great-grandson, but I also want to be an aunt."

"Why are you talking about this?" Cheng Yu'an is not young anymore, he will be 27 after the new year, "When will they do it?"

"Chen Xi has already returned to the capital, and plans to give birth to the child first, and wait for Ranqiu to finish "The Martian" before holding the wedding."

"Oh, that's alright."

"With a child, she doesn't want to be an actress anymore. She told me a few days ago that she wants to go behind the scenes. I plan to let her take care of the artist management. After all, we have such a deep cooperation with their family (Qiushi Group), and we can't Treat people badly."

"You decide, I have no objection."

Cheng Yuan said before leaving: "You prepare 3000 million US dollars for me, and there is a drama in the United States that will be released at the beginning of the year."

"Inception" has an investment of 1 million U.S. dollars in its own hands, and it must let Remote participate.

"Can this movie be imported into China?"

"It should be fine, otherwise I wouldn't let the company invest."

"It's no problem if it can be introduced into the country." Cheng Lingfeng usually doesn't ask about Cheng Yu'an's American company. After all, a big film company is Cheng Yu'an's personal business, and it's not easy for Cheng Lingfeng to intervene.
