Chapter 43 Auditions
Just as he was talking, Huang Ke and Guo Fei rushed back.

In "Butterfly Effect", he and Guo Fei switched jobs, he was the casting director, and Guo Fei and Han Yan followed Cheng Yu'an as on-site assistant directors.

Cheng Lingfeng had already communicated with Huang and Guo in advance, and when she negotiated the copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", she let them be group directors and officially started directing the play.

So the two have been working very hard recently.

Cheng Yu'an and Huang Ke organized the casting together, but the company's conference room was too small, so they transferred to the Mutu Hotel—probably the most famous hotel in the entertainment industry.

The interviewers are: "Butterfly Effect" screenwriter and director Cheng Yu'an, assistant directors Huang Ke and Guo Fei.

The three sat down in the room, and they were already discussing suitable candidates before the actor was notified to come in.

"I think Xiao Ming is quite suitable." Guo Fei said.

Huang Ke glanced at her: "I don't know what you think about it. You just want to see him good-looking."

"I just want to see what's wrong with him being good-looking? Besides, he's also suitable. What's wrong with his appearance and acting skills?" Guo Fei argued.

"He's not tall enough." Huang Ke stabbed secretly.

"You..." Guo Fei had nothing to say.

"Let's audition first to see if there are any suitable candidates, and we'll discuss after we're done." Cheng Yu'an interrupted the dispute between the two.

The first to enter was an actress, whom no one expected to come.

Dong Xuan.

As soon as Dong Xuan came in, he stared at Cheng Yu'an without saying a word, with anger, grievance, and puzzlement in his eyes.

Huang Ke and Guo Fei looked at Cheng Yu'an, then at Dong Xuan, smiled and said nothing.

Everyone in the class knows about the two of them.

Cheng Yu'an coughed to cover up his embarrassment: "You two audition, I'll go out first."

After speaking, he gave Dong Xuan his eyes, asking her to follow.

Huang Ke smiled at Dong Xuan: "I'm not going out yet, I'm really here for an audition."

With a bitter face, Dong Xuan followed Cheng Yu'an to another room.

This should be the first time the two have met alone in a year, and it is also the first time they have met.

As soon as Dong Xuan saw Cheng Yu'an, he clenched his fist and beat Cheng Yu'an, cursing while beating: "I'll kill you heartless bastard, bastard!"

Cheng Yu'an pushed Dong Xuan away: "You used to beat me like this, but now you can't."

Cheng Yu'an was fine if he didn't speak, but when he spoke, Dong Xuan couldn't stop crying.

"Don't cry. If you have something to say, why are you crying?" The trick of crying is the most effective for Cheng Yu'an.

Dong Xuan choked up and said, "Yu'an, my father wants me to apologize to you on his behalf, saying that he has no objection to the two of us."

Cheng Yu'an is very generous in other things, but he is not good at emotional matters. He also has emotions when talking about this: "What's the use of apologizing now? Back then, I had everything ready. I bought a house, a car, and even a car. All the money was taken in front of your mother. But your father also dislikes my family is not good, my father passed away and my mother disappeared; and I also dislike me for not having a serious job; I also think that I am too young and not mature enough to take care of you .”

Cheng Yu'an still had more cruel words to say.

Dong Xuan cried while listening, she really regretted it, not because she saw that Cheng Yu'an had become a popular director now.

It was regretting that I didn't persevere at the beginning. If I had been firmer at the beginning, even if I quarreled with my parents, the result would be very different now.

"But...but..." The girl didn't come up with anything after a long time.

"It's too late to say anything now. Do you want to audition today? If you want to audition, follow the procedure. If you don't audition, I will leave first." Cheng Yu'an just wanted to end the conversation quickly. He was afraid that Dong Xuan would cry in front of him again. Really soft-hearted.

Dong Xuan shook his head, she didn't come here today to fight for a role.

After seeing off Dong Xuan, Cheng Yu'an returned to the audition room to continue casting.

Huang Ke and Guo Fei didn't mention Dong Xuan very discerningly, but just told him about the previous casting situation.

"Li Zhinan auditioned for the male lead, but we saw that his acting skills couldn't hold up, so we just wanted to give him Li Aiwen in his youth, and we had to find another young Li Aiwen."

The hero and heroine have experienced three times in the play, childhood, teenager, and youth.

This is also the difficulty of casting.

"Li Zhinan can't do it." Cheng Yu'an vetoed the casting, "He's 18 years old, he's already too old. I want a boy of fourteen or fifteen."

"On the contrary, I thought of a very suitable candidate for the role of Tang Hua (who was forced to release the detonator)."

"Who?"

"Shi Xiaolong."

"He." Shi Xiaolong felt a little like no one in the world knows the king, "How old is he now?"

It should be because I watched too many movies of Xiaolong Xiaolong, and I always feel that he should be very old.

"He was born in 88, and he is only 15 years old now. He is quite suitable for a young Tang Hua at his age."

Maybe there is a complex, but Cheng Yu'an really likes Shi Xiaolong to play this role.

"Does he have a date?"

"He just finished shooting Zhou Yi's "Water Moon Cave and Sky", so he should have time, I'll contact him later." Huang Ke said.

Speaking of child actors, Cheng Yu'an's mind flashed, and he asked, "Has the filming of "Little Soldier Zhang Ye" started?"

He thought of Zhang Yishan.

"This drama is a customized drama of CCTV," Guo Fei said, "I have heard that it will be filmed a long time ago, so it should be soon."

"I've seen a young actor in it, he's pretty good, go talk to him, Zhang Yishan, and ask him to play the young Li Aiwen." Cheng Yu'an said.

Going forward, since we have Zhang Yishan, can we also have Yang Zi?

But what is Yang Zi doing at this time?Cheng Yu'an really didn't know.

Yang Zi put it aside for the time being, and You Haoran wanted to find it better, the one who took a public service advertisement when Xiao Pangdun was 3 years old, and said "Mom washes her feet" with a basin.

Cheng Yu'an intends to get together the three Xia family siblings.

After the casting was arranged, the three of them left the hotel.

In the next few days, Cheng Yu'an prepared for "Butterfly Effect" unhurriedly, while paying attention to the box office trend of "Sniper Phone Booth".

The time came to August 8.

A shocking event happened in the film industry.

Huaxia Film Distribution Co., Ltd. was established!

The second film company with the qualification to import films.

In the Shanghai Film Group, Ren Zhonglun was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart. He worked hard for several years and wanted to win the qualification of the second company to import films from China Film Group.

Unexpectedly, the higher-ups ignored their needs at all, and directly parachuted a new company to take away the introduction rights.

The capable vice president walked into Ren Zhonglun's office: "Chonglun, what should we do about this matter. It's too bullying. Could it be that our Shangying was raised by a stepmother?"

"What can I do, Huaxia Films are listed and running, and our efforts in the past few years have all been in vain." Ren Zhonglun felt a sense of powerlessness.

Randomly and quickly adjusted his status: "Call director Cheng Yu'an in Beijing and say that we are willing to invest 700 million yuan in "Butterfly Effect."

"700 million!" The vice president was in a hurry. It's not that Shangying can't get the money out, but it's not how things are handled. "Should I think about it again? This is not a small amount of money."

"Don't think about it, the directors who can sell money in the market now, Zhang Yimou is held in the hands of Xinhua, Feng Xiaogang is tied to Huayi, Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is scolded by the investor who lost money, "With You" is not sold at all. Don’t move, counting and counting, only Cheng Yu’an can still sell at the box office, and the remote company has just started, 700 million to make friends with a young director with a bright future, I can still afford the money.”

The vice president didn't intend to persuade him anymore, so he went down to make a phone call.

　I am a real foodie, so I can also be able to carve.
