I became popular on the stage

Chapter 522 Casting begins, the ecstasy of the second world film and television department (second update, please subscribe)

At this moment, Lin Xuan was very grateful that he had just made the decision to let the three directors co-direct with him.

Otherwise, with these trivial matters in the early stage, he himself would have to be busy.

But now, he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

At the same time, he was also secretly shocked by how much energy the three of them had in the entertainment industry.

Next.

The three of them were sitting in the meeting room like this, making phone calls one by one.

"Old He, do me a favor."

"Mr. Chen, I'm going to make a movie here, help me find a crew member..."

"Dong Liu, it's me. The war props I left behind from the movie last time, please save them all for me, I want to use them."

"Xiao Zhao, immediately tell Xiao Qian that they are going to make a budget and schedule plan for a movie."

"..."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, because of the phone calls from the three of them, the entertainment industry did not know how many people hurriedly ended the Spring Festival holiday and started to work intensely.

At the same time, Lin Xuan also saw the dedication of these seniors.

Afterwards, the three of them didn't even bother to eat, and just ate the work meal of Longtai, and then continued to sink into work.

Several people's phone calls lasted for more than two hours before they gradually stopped.

Everyone rested for a while.

Liu Ji looked at Lin Xuan: "Lin Xuan, although you said just now that the four of us will co-direct the film, but the film is written by you, and it is also a task given to you by Minister Zhou, so you must be the lead in the film."

"Yes."

"That's it."

Qin Wen and Zhang Xukun also nodded and smiled.

Lin Xuan gave them enough face, of course they will also release their kindness.

Liu Ji continued with a smile: "So Lin Xuan has to decide the most important casting issue for the movie."

All three of them could see that the significance of such a large-scale patriotic film appointed by the higher-ups to be filmed was absolutely extraordinary.If you can act as the protagonist or supporting role in a movie, it will definitely be a huge improvement for the actor's qualifications. Even if the box office is not good in the end, the actor can also get incalculable benefits from it.

First: You can let yourself establish an absolutely positive image.

Second: To be able to build a relationship with Lin Xuan and their three major directors.

Based on these two points alone, it is enough to make the actors frantically pursue it, even if the salary is not high, it doesn't matter.Because the benefits they get from it are not comparable to mere salary.

So in Liu Ji's opinion, although this war film is likely to be a loss-making film, they still handed over the important work of casting to Lin Xuan.

After all, the three of them knew that Lin Xuan had a second world with hundreds of artists, and this kind of good thing was of course that the money would not flow to outsiders.

"Thank you."

Lin Xuan smiled: "That's okay, I will leave the casting to me. In addition, let me decide where the movie will be shot?"

"Oh? The filming location?"

"Lin Xuan, do you have a good idea?"

"..."

The three showed surprised expressions.

After all, the choice of film location determines the tone of a movie.In many cases, it takes a lot of time and energy just to determine a shooting location.So this matter must not be sloppy.

Their original idea was that after Lin Xuan finished writing the script, everyone would study the location together.First, determine a few feasible places, then send people to conduct on-the-spot inspections, and finally, they will go over to check out the spots in person.Only after going through heavy screening in this way can the shooting location be determined.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan took the matter directly.

Lin Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "When I was writing the script of "Changjin Lake", I read a lot of materials, combined with the geographical knowledge I actually found, so I already had several shooting locations in my mind. choice. And I’ve scoured the locations and they feel like a perfect fit for the film.”

He carefully considered his words to prevent the three of them from seeing the flaws.

Sure enough, it's not easy to lie.

After all, it is impossible for him to talk about these locations. Someone has already selected them for them in the previous life, right?

After speaking, Lin Xuan spread out a blank piece of paper, and wrote a few locations on it:
The first one: Hanshan Lake in Tiantai, Zhejiang Province, where Wu Qianli's hometown is located.

The second one: Xiangyan Village, Xianju, Zhejiang Province, where Wu Qianli and Wu Wanli met.

The third one: Meishan Town, Changxing, Huzhou, which is the location of the railway station where the volunteers ride.

Fourth: Kuandian, Dandong, Liaoning. This is the key filming location for the movie, and it is also the strategic channel where the volunteer soldiers actually passed through in history. Therefore, shooting here can restore the history to the greatest extent.

Every time Lin Xuan writes a place, Qin Wen next to him immediately starts to look it up on his mobile phone.

Today's network is really developed, especially the big cat is almost powerful enough to replace Baidu and Gaode map.At any location, as long as Qin Wen enters it into the big cat, countless high-definition short videos will appear in an instant.This kind of short video is much better than consulting a map or viewing a picture.

Looking at the videos of Hanshan Lake, Xiangyan Village and other places taken by netizens, the three couldn't help but exclaim.

"This place is good."

"Does it fit the script too well?"

"Lin Xuan, how did you find these places?"

"Oh, absolutely."

"I have been filming for so many years, but I didn't know that there are such beautiful lakes and colorful lakes in Zhejiang Province."

"I can understand Dandong Kuandian. On-site shooting is indeed the best choice. But among the places in Zhejiang Province, Lin Xuan, you chose really well."

"Tomorrow, I'll take pictures of a few people and go for a field trip. If there's no problem, then it's settled!"

"Okay, that's it!"

"..."

Several people were excited, and the eyes they looked at Lin Xuan changed again.

Especially Liu Ji and Zhang Xukun, a faint thought came to their minds: "It seems that the rumors are true, Lin Xuan does have an extraordinary talent in filming and television."

They didn't know that it was just beginning now, and the real shock was yet to come.

……

……

On this day, the three chatted until late into the night.

Qin Wen, Liu Ji, and Zhang Xukun left separately and started intense work.

And Lin Xuan left the capital by plane early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and returned to the Second World to seriously write the remaining script of "Changjin Lake".

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

Even though Lin Xuan had complete memories of the first and second movies of "Changjin Lake" in his mind, it still took several days to write the script.

He immediately sent the script to Qin Wen and the others.

At the same time, Lin Xuan called Ma Bin: "Mr. Ma, please come to my office."

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. As the CEO of Second World, Ma Bin just spent a New Year's Eve at home, and hurried back to work the next day.

In any company, executives are basically at work 365 days a year, and even when they are on vacation, their mobile phones are kept open 24 hours a day.

Soon Ma Bin came to Lin Xuan's office: "Boss Lin, are you looking for me?"

Lin Xuan said, "Have the company's artists come to work yet?"

Ma Bin said: "The company stipulates that they go to work on the seventh day of the new year, but many artists have announcements and activities during the Chinese New Year, so they basically don't have a rest. Except for a few people who go home, they are basically all in the company or participating in activities outside. "

"very good!"

Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled: "Mr. Ma, you should know that now I am preparing for the shooting of a movie. Please tell all the artists in the film and television department to prepare in advance. I will start a large-scale competition among them in the next two days. The casting, the selected person will play the role in my movie. This time, anyone has a chance to be selected, and the actors are not just one or two, there are as many as dozens. Can they grasp it? Opportunities depend on their own abilities."

"Ok."

Ma Bin nodded in agreement, and then left quickly.

……

Second World Film and Television Department.

The crowd was full of people.

Since Lin Xuan's movie "The God of Medicine" exploded in both box office and word-of-mouth, as second-world entertainers, each of them is full of pride in their hearts, and of course they have worked harder at the same time.

Because they saw He Yisheng leap into China's top movie star with their own eyes, and they saw Chen Ping become a popular artist from obscurity.

Who is not excited?
Who doesn't envy?

Of course, they also understand the truth that as long as they work hard enough, they will definitely have a chance to stand out in the second world. Under this kind of thinking, every artist will work harder.

At this moment, the film and television department is extremely lively.

"It's a new year."

"Yes, I don't know if I will have a chance to make my mark this year."

"Old Zheng, haven't you already received role invitations for three movies?"

"It always felt like none of them were right for me."

"Hey! Are you still provoking? I don't even have a movie contract."

"Old Chen is lucky. The first movie he starred in was a hit. Now he has directly become an actor with a box office of four billion yuan, and the company's salary for him has reached tens of millions. As for Brother He, The film salary is as high as [-] million. So what I hope most is to be able to act in Director Lin's play, even if it is a group performance, I am willing."

"You have a good idea. Who doesn't want to act in Director Lin's play? Don't talk about our artists in the second world. Looking at the entire entertainment circle, those movie kings and actresses have all called, hoping to star in Brother Xuan's next movie."

"..."

While everyone was talking about it.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the person coming.

"Mr. Ma."

"Mr. Ma is good."

"..."

Everyone hurriedly stood there respectfully, feeling apprehensive in their hearts.Because they knew that Ma Bin seldom interfered with the affairs of the film and television department, but as long as Ma Bin came, something big would happen.

Everyone's expressions were disturbed, thinking to each other, could it be that some artist in the company caused trouble?
Just when they were full of thoughts.

A smile appeared on Ma Bin's face: "Don't be nervous, it's a good thing."

"Good thing?"

"President Ma, what's the matter?"

"Are you going to pay the bonus?"

Everyone's hanging hearts suddenly fell, and several lively artists spoke out one after another.

Ma Bin smiled and said, "Boss Lin is going to make a movie again."

Just a few words.

After he spoke, the scene fell into a brief silence.

next second.

The entire film and television department was blown up.

"what?"

"real or fake?"

"Director Lin is going to make a second movie?"

"My God!"

"Oh my god!"

"..."

There were exclamations one after another, and then everyone's faces burst into intense joy and excitement.

After the excited voice at the scene subsided, Ma Bin continued: "Boss Lin's movie is a war movie, so the final box office of the movie is hard to predict, and the prospect may not be good after it is released. So everyone, please think carefully. if……"

Before the words fell, everyone in the film and television department began to discuss.

"President Ma, can we not trust Director Lin?"

"Even if Director Lin's movie doesn't make any money, we will try our best to get it."

"Yes, the box office is definitely not a concern for us."

"Being able to join Brother Xuan's movie is our greatest luck."

Excited.

shudder.

Many people blushed and shouted.

For everyone in the film and television department, being able to participate in the film shot by Lin Xuan is the biggest surprise.As for the type of movie, the final box office of the movie, the prospects after the release... and other issues are not considered by them.

They were originally promoted by Lin Xuan from the group performances in Hengdian, and they have always had the greatest respect and trust for Lin Xuan.After experiencing the popularity of the two film and television dramas "Sword of Heaven" and "The God of Medicine" in China, they even regarded Lin Xuan as a god-like existence, so at the moment when they heard Ma Bin's words, no one cared at all.

Even if they are sure that the movie won't make a penny at the box office, everyone will enthusiastically go up to participate in the filming.

After a while.

The scene fell silent again.

Everyone stared at Ma Bin with fiery eyes.

Waiting for Ma Bin's next words.
