The superstar starts from the termination of the contract

Chapter 751 Everyone Arrives

Brother Cai's actions were really fast, and before noon, he sent all the materials of Zhu Zhiming.

At the same time, just to be on the safe side, Lu Fan also asked Xu Qing to investigate Zhu Zhiming. The two documents in front of him ensured that his male lead was indeed just an ordinary group performer, and he didn't have any bad habits.

To put it bluntly, it is an ordinary middle-aged man who is facing the problem of divorce at this moment.

This isn't big news either.

Lu Fan finally felt relieved, and after confirming the male number one, he started the journey of looking for an actor again.

In the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", there are five more important roles, the protagonist Cheng Yong, the policeman Cao Bin, the patient Lu Yiyi, the single mother Liu Sihui, and the yellow-haired Peng Hao.

Lu Fan has already decided, so Zhu Zhiming will play Cheng Yong. In fact, in some respects, he is quite similar to the actor in the movie.

Lu Fan decided to play the yellow-haired Peng Hao.

As for why this decision was made, it was entirely because the age was more suitable. Of course, this was only a preliminary plan.

Perhaps he may play the policeman, or Lu Yiyi.

In the next few days, Lu Fan, Brother Cai, and Zhu Zhiming were still wandering around Hengdian, passing by the crew of "Love in a Fallen City" a few times, even if the director Ding Quan saw Lu Fan, he pretended nothing happened .

In fact, the two hadn't had a direct confrontation before, and he had already experienced Lu Fan's horror.

Either there is no way out, and he really doesn't want to mess with Lu Fan.

Even if he can beat Lu Fan in movies, he doesn't want to have any interaction with him, because there is no need for it!

At noon that day, Lu Fan reviewed another batch of group performers, none of which satisfied him.

In fact, he has already lowered his requirements. After all, after the protagonist Cheng Yong is confirmed, the more impressive characters in the play are Huang Mao and Lu who have benefited.

There is also an old lady, but there are only a few lines in the whole process, and it is more of a test of skill.

After the group performers left, Lu Fan asked Zhu Zhiming, "Do you have any friends? If you have time, ask them out for a sit-down."

Zhu Zhiming immediately understood what Lu Fan meant, and nodded silently.

I found Zhu Zhiming on the second day of coming to Hengdian, which still gave Lu Fan a lot of surprises. He thought it would be a good start, but he didn't expect to get nothing in the past two days.

Brother Cai is also bald, and Lu Fan is also going to let him show up in the movie.

In the evening, Zhu Zhiming called his former friends, but unfortunately, none of them answered.

"What's going on?" Lu Fan felt very strange. Could it be that Zhu Zhiming is the plague god?
"Brother Lu, there is actually one thing I didn't tell you." Zhu Zhiming smiled wryly, "The first time you asked me to make a movie, I thought you were here to laugh at me."

"You don't need to talk about it, I've learned a little bit in the past two days." Lu Fan, who is taller than Zhu Zhiming, patted him on the shoulder, "This is also your chance, you should grasp it well."

Lu Fan didn't say that since those people didn't answer the phone, they can't be regarded as friends, but he felt that saying so might hurt Zhu Zhiming, so he gave up such an approach.

Both Xu Qing and Brother Cai recorded one thing in the information, that is, Zhu Zhiming offended a local group performer, resulting in no filming for a long time.

The specific reason is very fucked up.

That was his former group performer, who fell in love with his wife, and that's how the bloody thing happened.

The boss was quite well-known in Hengdian, and he knew quite a few big directors. When Zhu Zhiming found out about them, he naturally gave the boss a good beating.

But it was just these few punches that completely interrupted his path of group acting.

The boss who was beaten didn't dare to make too much noise. After all, this matter was his fault, but he didn't let it go. Instead, he used his contacts to "block" Zhu Zhiming in the circle.

The ban here refers to not allowing other bosses to help Zhu Zhiming with work. Later, Zhu Zhiming spent a lot of money to make a living under the hands of another boss.

The current boss doesn't have any friendship with the former boss, on the contrary, he still has some grievances. In addition, Zhu Zhiming sent a lot of good wine and cigarettes, so he was kept.

Zhu Zhiming's condition has improved, but not significantly.

There were even several times when the jobs that were originally obtained were all inexplicably wasted.

"I will definitely behave well," Zhu Zhiming's eyes revealed a firmness. In fact, these people are his good friends, and they have contacted each other in private. Why don't they answer the phone now?

"Don't worry, Brother Lu, you gave me a new chance, and I will definitely make good use of it." Zhu Zhiming was very puzzled, but he didn't say anything. The other party might not come, and he explained to Lu Fan again. for what?

Lu Fan nodded, and at the same time, he was thinking that if he really couldn't find suitable group members, could he let the artists from Zhengming Entertainment and Fanhai Entertainment Studio come?
The two of them were eating outside, and Chen Bo hadn't come over these few days. It seemed that the crew of "Love in a Fallen City" was working overtime, and Chen Bo couldn't keep up.

And Brother Cai also received a job recently, it is impossible to run to Lu Fan's place every day, this is just to arrange some group performers to meet Lu Fan.

The two of them finished their dinner and were about to go back when Zhu Zhiming's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from a friend who hadn't answered the phone before.

"Old Zhu, what are you calling? I just finished work, and I didn't hear the phone when I put it aside."

Zhu Zhiming was very happy, Lao Cao was his good friend, how could he not answer his phone?

"Old Cao, are you busy now? If you are not busy, come out quickly. I will buy you a drink. I have something to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"You will know when you come, it is definitely a good thing."

"Okay, where are you? I'll rush over now."

"It's still the same place, are they there? Bring all those people, I'll treat you today."

"Oh? So generous every day? Did you win the lottery?" Lao Cao said with a smile.

"You'll know when you come."

Zhu Zhiming put down his phone, and explained these friends to Lu Fan: "We all graduated from school together, so we can be regarded as close buddies. After my accident, everyone else stayed away from me, and only a few of them were still with me. I keep in touch.

After all, that bastard has some contacts here. If I let these buddies lose their jobs, then I will feel bad.So we usually don't dare to be too high-profile, and private gatherings are all sneaky. "

Lu Fan didn't say anything about it, he couldn't say something about secondary school to Zhu Zhiming, for example, you became famous after you acted in this movie, and then you want to slap that person in the face severely?

But here and there, Lu Fan also knew some things. These people graduated from a not-so-famous film and television academy and plunged in for their dreams. It can be said that their strength is not good, or they are not lucky. In short No fame.

By the time they realize it, they will be too old if they want to change their careers. In the end, they have no choice but to continue on this path of tricks.

Lu Fan suddenly asked: "Do you usually discuss how to act? Or share your own experience? Learn related skills?"

"Yes," Zhu Zhiming nodded and said, "Although our school is not very famous, it can teach some things more or less. After graduation, we will also learn by ourselves. If it weren't for this enthusiasm, we would not be able to survive. .”

"Then how many of you people are there?" Lu Fan became a little interested in these people.

"There are five or six!" Zhu Zhiming smoked a cigarette, "Some people joined in the middle, and some people quit. Those who joined were for their dreams, and those who quit were for life. But these days when we were filming together, Everyone is very happy."

Lu Fan nodded and chatted casually. After about 10 minutes, Lao Cao and the others arrived.

A total of five or six people came, including women and young people who looked younger.

Lu Fan was stunned. It couldn't be such a coincidence. They all fit the roles in the movie, right?

The young man is relatively thin, and the woman is also in her 30s. She is not particularly beautiful, but she is not bad either.

Overall it looks pretty good.

When they saw Zhu Zhiming, they all smiled and greeted each other, and then they saw Lu Fan sitting opposite Zhu Zhiming. Lao Cao couldn't help asking: "Old Zhu, who is this friend?"

"Lu Fan!" The thin young man exclaimed, and immediately rushed to the front. He looked so excited that he almost wanted to hold Lu Fan's hand to ask questions.

"Brother Lu! I heard on Weibo that you are going to make a movie, but I didn't expect you to be here!" The young man Han Ming is a fan of Lu Fan. He followed the events on Weibo a few days ago.

At that time, Lu Fan was on the crew of "Love in a Fallen City", and he didn't show up because he was working. At that time, he was so regretful that his guts were green. I didn't expect to see him here.

Hearing what Han Ming said, the rest of the people all realized that this young man in front of him is Lu Fan?

To be honest, they are all relatively old, who would usually search for this young man's name?

In addition, Lu Fan is also a singer, and there are no more classic film and television works, let alone have any impression of his appearance.

Of course, this is limited to people over the age of 40.

"Hello!" Lu Fan greeted Han Ming with a smile, and nodded to others at the same time.

Zhu Zhiming stood up, and quickly introduced to everyone: "This is Lu Fan, Director Lu, so don't I need to introduce some of his deeds?"

Zhu Zhiming laughed, and then introduced his friends one by one like Lu Fan.

The young man is called Han Ming, the old Cao is called Cao Zhengguo, the woman in her 30s is called Bai Huiyu, and the other two are also in their 40s, named Li Feng and Yu Gang.

After all, Lu Fan is considered a big star, even if he showed a more friendly attitude, these people still feel a little uncomfortable.

This old Zhu is really, didn't he mean that he just got together in private?

How could there be outsiders without notifying in advance?
But thinking about what Han Ming said just now, Lu Fan is going to make a movie, and all the actors are looking for in Hengdian. Is it because of this that Lao Zhu called?

Before they came, Lu Fan had already told Zhu Zhiming to announce the matter on his behalf.

So as soon as everyone sat down, he immediately explained the reason to everyone: "Just now Xiaohan said that Director Lu is going to make a movie. I am very grateful to Director Lu for giving me this opportunity. At the same time, I am also very grateful to Director Lu for giving everyone a Chance."

Lu Fan stood up and said with a smile, "I told you everything, now we are all friends. Don't speak so formally, it's fine to be casual. Forget it, let me talk about it."

"Okay." Zhu Zhiming smiled and stopped talking.

"It is estimated that everyone has a better understanding of the things on Weibo. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it for the time being. Brother Zhu said before that I want to make a movie now and I need some actors. If I think everyone is suitable, then I will do it next time. During these days, we will work hard together to make a good movie. In case everyone does not meet the character requirements in my mind, today is considered as making friends."

Lu Fan spoke more directly, he didn't tact, after all, this is not a child's play, anyway, he invested 300 million!
To be honest, everyone is still quite accustomed to this rhythm, and they all nodded after hearing about it.

"Brother Zhu has already become one of the characters in the movie. I know everyone is very busy, so I'll make a long story short and let's get straight to the point."

After speaking, Lu Fan glanced at everyone with a smile, and then arranged a few assessment questions.

This time he asked some specific questions. For example, he thought that Han Ming was more suitable for the role of Huangmao Peng Hao, so he talked about Huangmao's plot in the movie and asked Han Ming to perform it on the spot.

As for Bai Huiyu, the assessment questions given were naturally Liu Sihui's.

What made Lu Fan more serious was that these main characters passed the assessment perfectly.

It can't be said to be perfect, after all, their strength is limited, and they are different from those professional actors who graduated from the film and television academy, but they exceeded Lu Fan's inner expectations.

As for the role of Cao Bin, Yu Gang can definitely play it. In the play, he was originally Cheng Yong's brother-in-law, and it doesn't matter if he becomes an uncle now.

Changing such small details has no effect on the movie.

With a smile on his face, Lu Fan said: "Thank you very much for the performance just now, let me ask, are you busy recently?"

Lu Fan has already decided to use these people to film "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Their performance may not be so perfect, but it doesn't matter, Lu Fan's acting skills are better than theirs, and they can be polished by then.

And from the performance just now, it can be seen that although these people graduated from second-rate film and television academies, everyone's basic skills are quite solid.

Lu Fan didn't mean to despise second-rate film and television academies. What he wanted to say was that everything was human-made. If these people really couldn't do it, they wouldn't be able to stick to this path forever.

Han Ming's brain is obviously not flexible, and he replied stupidly: "I have taken the role of dead bodies in a few episodes these days."

Everyone gave him a blank look. Did this kid become dumbfounded when he saw his idol? He is not so stupid usually!

"Director Lu, what do you mean?" Even though Cao Zhengguo had already guessed what Lu Fan meant, he felt that it was like a dream and he couldn't believe it.

"I think you are all very good. If you have time, we can get ready for work tomorrow." Lu Fan was also very straightforward, and he was already very satisfied to find a group of them in Hengdian.

Because we have to consider the actual situation, if they really have superb acting skills, not to mention they have become big stars, at least they will not still be playing tricks until now.

No, it doesn't even count as extras, because Han Ming is playing a dead body.

Cao Zhengguo and the others were taken aback for a moment, and then they all cheered. Zhu Zhiming hurriedly reminded: "You haven't answered Director Lu yet!"

"Director Lu, we have time, we all have time." Cao Zhengguo was the first to react and replied immediately.

Lu Fan seemed to be infected by their emotions, and said to Zhu Zhiming with a smile: "Brother Zhu, please sort out everyone's information and leave it to me tomorrow morning. Let's familiarize ourselves with the script first and start the machine as soon as possible."

"Good Director Lu," Zhu Zhiming nodded repeatedly.

Han Ming was still sitting there blankly, he couldn't believe all this was true until now, Lu Fan patted him on the shoulder lightly, said with a smile: "Your performance is great, I hope you can also do it in the movie." make persistent efforts."

"I will." Han Ming couldn't restrain his excitement, and even cried out, making everyone laugh.

Lu Fan ate and drank with them for more than an hour, which was to get acquainted with everyone in advance, and then checked the time, it was getting late, so he asked everyone to go back to rest, and he would contact them tomorrow.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Fan and his friends reported the situation. He asked Wang Hai to prepare the funds quickly, and at the same time contacted Xu Qing, asking her to contact some reporters to prepare for the next opening ceremony.

Lu Fan just wanted to hype it up, after all, this is also a promotional resource.

Wang Hai replied that the funds are in place, and the money on the card can be withdrawn at any time.

Xu Qing also reassured Lu Fan that he would handle this matter well.

As usual, he chatted with Xu Qing for a while, and after hanging up the video reluctantly, Lu Fan fell asleep.

The next day, when Lu Fan woke up, he saw that Zhu Zhiming had sent him information very early.

At the same time, he asked Xu Qing and Brother Cai to investigate these people, and after confirming that there was no black history to dig out, he got up and prepared to call everyone together.

After half an hour, all the personnel were in place.

Lu Fan is a newcomer, and there are some things that he doesn't quite understand. He asked Brother Cai to rent a relatively large house nearby, and contacted the filming team a long time ago.

Anyway, everything has been prepared in advance, the only thing is that these actors are in place.

Because these actors were not familiar with the script at all, Lu Fan decided to give them another three days, and at the same time told them that if there was anything they didn't understand, they had to come and ask him.
