Chapter 802 Pushing People
In addition to the lack of application scenarios, an important reason why Cheng Yuan was unwilling to pay for this special effects shooting system was that domestic labor was relatively cheap and the territory was vast. There were many scenes in Hollywood that required special effects, but they could be filmed in China.

Just like in "Mulan", Cheng Yu'an planned to shoot the battle scenes in real life, and have a few real battles.

They have already sent people to the grassland to contact them. In Cheng Yu'an's name, it shouldn't be a big problem to recruit four or five thousand grassland men to be extra performers.

Cheng Yu'an stayed in Qingdao for too long, and was finally suspected by the outside world: "He is going to make a new film."

Yuan Yuan did not deny: "Director Cheng is indeed preparing for the new film." But he refused to disclose any news about the new film.

The reporter searched through the remote records of new films, and every film clearly stated the director, but Cheng Yu'an's work was not found.

Then a fan quickly added an entry to Cheng Yu'an's Douban entry:
"Director Cheng Yu'an's untitled new film (expected to start in 2017)"

In the details of this movie, except for the director Cheng Yu'an is clear, there is no other information at all. The new movie does not even have a cover poster, nor does it have a cast list. It only writes in the synopsis:

"The reporter captured Cheng Yu'an communicating with the on-site staff at the Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis a few days ago. It was confirmed by the remote film and television that Cheng Yu'an is indeed preparing for a new film, but there is no information about the story of the new film and the cast. The remote film and television has no information to disclose."

Under this "untitled new film", thousands of netizens marked their desire to watch it within an hour, and left a message: "According to Director Cheng's filming rules in the past few years, he should make a commercial film like "The Wandering Earth". This is a literary film, five-star reservation."

"Last year, domestic films were a complete failure. I hope Director Cheng can make a genre film to save the market."

"Director Cheng, don't forget that you also have a wife named Liu Yifei. You have promised to film her for many years, and it's time to honor it!" This is Yifei's fan, and I still remember this.

When the new film came out, Cheng Yu'an didn't hide anymore. He ran all over the country openly, holding meetings, selecting candidates, arranging training, watching horses, watching scenes... he was extremely busy.

As soon as the new film was released, there was a constant stream of people asking for roles.

Although the actors don't know what story Cheng Yu'an wants to film, what kind of actors Cheng Yu'an needs, or even when to start the film.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can act in Cheng Yu'an's play.

But neither Cheng Yuan himself nor the remote company seems to be in a hurry to choose a role. When asked about the role, Cheng Yuan said, "I'm still choosing. I'm not in a hurry. I have time." Liu Yifei also kept silent because of Liu Yifei's relationship, " Can’t say, don’t interfere, just listen to him.”

"Mulan" chose the casting route from the very beginning to be an invitation system. In fact, there are not many main characters in "Mulan", only a dozen or so people with names and surnames. If there are people from Mulan's hometown, it is even more so if there are people with names, surnames and roles Only seven or eight.

As long as the schedule is suitable, the actors should all agree to Cheng Yu'an's invitation.

"Mr. Cheng, my name is Zhang Yixing." The young man in front of him shook hands with himself respectfully.

As soon as Cheng Yu'an came back from the prairie, he was pulled over by Xu Guangtou and Huang Bo to have a meal, which they called "receiving the wind and washing the dust".

Xu Shanzheng is really fighting, he just finished "The God of Medicine" in Jinling yesterday, and today he flew to the capital to cleanse Cheng Yu'an, and also brought in Huang Bo.

It is false to accept the wind and clean up the dust, but it is true to introduce talents.

The two wanted to introduce Zhang Yixing to Cheng Yu'an.

"Ah, hello, hello." Cheng Yu'an said politely, "Didn't you invite me to dinner? Why are you standing? Sit down."

Everyone is seated, and the food and wine are served.

"I don't drink. I'm afraid of drinking in the grassland these days. If I drink again today, Yifei won't even let me in." Cheng Yu'an rejected Xu Shan's offer to open the wine.

"That's fine." Huang Bo said, "I said don't drink, how long has it been since we brothers had dinner together? Let's have a good talk today."

The three chatted, and Zhang Yixing was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't get in the topic of the three.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Huang Bo began to bring the topic to Zhang Yixing, and intentionally passed him a message: "If you don't want to be a director, you really don't know the pain and tiredness in it. As for the "A Good Show" I filmed, don't mention it. , the director’s job is too tiring, even the dogs don’t even do it.”

"Hey!" Cheng Yu'an and Xu Shan shouted in unison.

Both of them are directors!
Huang Bo didn't mean to apologize at all, instead he said with a smile: "Then do you think anyone can do a director?"

"Now people and dogs can be directors," Xu Shanzheng joked. "Write two books on the Internet, and you can also be a director. You can hire ten executives, eight assistant directors, and a dog tied to the director's chair. Shoot." It was Zhang Jia's family who spoke.

Cheng Yu'an said: "It's good to know that being a director is tiring, let's see if you dare to talk back to the director in the future."

"Don't dare, dare not. I used to think that I had a good temper, but now I know that even if you have a good temper as a director, the crew will force you to swear by ten thousand things every day."

Zhang Yixing answered the call at the right time, and if he didn't answer it, he really didn't have the place to talk: "Mr. Huang is still good-tempered, and he is very kind to us in the film crew."

Xu Shanzheng laughed and teased: "How many directors have you met? A really fierce director can make you cry on the spot."

Cheng Yu'an also passed on the words: "Xiao Zhang is so popular now, how dare the director scold him?"

Zhang Yixing said: "If you don't do well, you still have to suffer the scolding you deserve."

Huang Bo took the opportunity to recommend: "Xiao Zhang is actually quite a good kid, he is a real person, and he works hard on the set."

Cheng Yu'an didn't speak.

"If you like it, let him go to your crew to act in whatever you want."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "You don't even know what movie I'm going to film, so you dare to introduce actors to me?"

"Don't you believe us? You can shoot whatever you want. It's okay if there is no suitable role for him."

Cheng Yu'an looked at Zhang Yixing, and said after a while, "Let me think about it."

After getting a vague answer, Huang Bo was not in a hurry, but instead asked: "This time, you have to tell us what scene you are filming, right?"

"Still not possible." Cheng Yu'an resolutely refused.

One very important reason why everyone didn't guess on "Mulan" is that Cheng Yu'an has never made a foreign film in the 15 years since his debut.

Cheng Yu'an didn't stay long, and sat for a while, then took his leave and left: "I'm going to be scolded by my wife for being late."

Only Huang, Xu, and Zhang were left, facing a table of meals that had not touched a few chopsticks.

"Brother, does Teacher Cheng dislike me?"

"He doesn't even know you, talk about whether you like it or not." Xu Shanzheng is very clear about Cheng Yu'an's character.

Huang Bo said: "He just doesn't like filming with non-professional actors, he thinks training actors is a waste of time."

"Then I..."

"Don't worry, this kind of thing has to be done slowly. Want to get a role with him after a meal? If there is such a good thing in the world, it won't happen to us." Xu Shan argued.

Zhang Yixing nodded, expressing his understanding of the truth.

It was not too late for Cheng Yuan to get home, it was only 10 o'clock at night, and Liu Yifei was still up.

He was exhausted today, so he washed up quickly, so Liu Yifei got into the bed and slept first. His daughter had already fallen asleep, and he fell asleep very quickly next to her.

　Writing "Mulan" required a lot of homework and was written very slowly.Goodnight everybody.
