Actor: I am drawing skills in movies

Chapter 86 Li Bai has made a decision, this person cannot be changed!
The next day!

Lin Shu slept a little later than usual.

The audition for "The Legend of the Demon Cat" has ended. At this stage, there is no event similar to commercial performances. All he can do now is to wait quietly for the audition results.

After getting up, Lin Shu didn't go to the company.

He plans to use these few days to fully master Russian, and by the way, think about the languages ​​he will learn later.

At this moment, in the Tangcheng Film and Television City!
After a brightly dressed actor left the audition site, Chen Kaige drew a line after his name and said expressionlessly:

"Notify the next actor to audition!"

There are not many supporting roles in the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat". Originally, Chen Kaige could hand over some less important roles to the assistant director.

Doing so would save a lot of time.

But for the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat", he has been polishing it for six years.

Even if it is some unimportant supporting roles, he wants to check it himself and doesn't want to have any flaws in it.

According to the process arranged in the morning, the casting is proceeding in an orderly manner.

A few hours passed in a flash.

Chen Kaige, who was sitting in the chair, yawned and looked a little tired: "How many actors are there?"

"Director Chen, there are three more actors auditioning for "De Zong"." The staff whispered aside.

"Let's do this for now! The rest of the actors will start auditioning at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

As the core of the entire crew, Chen Kaige naturally didn't need to clean up the documents on the table.

So after instructing the staff, he left the crew with Chen Hong.

Sitting down in the familiar box, Chen Kaige lay on the chair and sighed deeply:

"The actors who auditioned this morning, their acting skills...it's hard to describe!"

Chen Hong, who was sitting next to him, didn't mean to respond, until the waiter left the box, and then he said:

"Actually, the actors who were interviewed in the morning were not too bad at acting.

I think you have been obsessed with Lin Shu's performance yesterday, and when you compare him with other actors in your heart, you will feel that their acting skills are not good. "

Chen Kaige thought about it and found that it was exactly what Chen Hong said.

Among all the actors who auditioned in the morning, the only one that satisfied him was a gold-medal supporting role who had played for many years.

As for other actors, he always felt that there was a little taste missing.

Looking back now, the acting skills of those actors are still very commendable.

Before yesterday, although he had high requirements for actors, he had not yet reached the point where no one was satisfied.

"When you say that, it seems to be the case, and I don't know how lucky you are to "cross the era", such a good actor can be signed by them!"

Chen Kaige's tone was somewhat emotional.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly put away the smile on his face, turned his head and said very seriously:
"After dinner, you can contact "Cross-Era". Be sure to sign Lin Shu, even if the other party's price is slightly higher."

"Don't worry, I will do the same if you don't say it."

Chen Hong agreed immediately.

Although she is not a director, she is very clear about one thing.

A good actor can indeed affect the overall quality of the film to a certain extent.

Especially a good actor like Lin Shu.

"If the contract is signed later, it is necessary to have a good relationship with him, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Chen Hong said silently in his heart.

After seeing that the dishes were all ready, the two picked up chopsticks.

Just before taking two bites, Chen Kaige's phone on the table rang.

He didn't want to pick it up at first, but the remarks displayed on the screen made him have to pick it up.

The person who called him was the largest investor in "The Legend of the Demon Cat" and the chairman of Xinlidu Media - Cao Yi!
"Cao Dong, why do you have time to call me!" Chen Kaige answered the phone with a smile.

Don't blame him for his attitude.

Although Cao Yi is the largest investor in his film, he has put forward a lot of demands, and he always tries to put people in the crew.

If it was an ordinary role, he would have given it, but what he wanted was the leading actors with the heaviest roles.

The leading role is the soul of the movie. If the leading role cannot even decide, is it necessary to make the movie?

So every time Cao Yi called, Chen Kaige had a headache.

"I'm not concerned about the progress of the movie casting? I wonder when Director Chen plans to officially start the film?"

Cao Yi on the other end of the phone didn't care too much about Chen Kaige's attitude, but still smiled.

"The casting will start as soon as the casting is over, almost early December."

Chen Kaige made some calculations in his heart and gave an accurate time.

"Haha... That's good, that's good!" After Cao Yi laughed a few times, he changed the conversation:
"Everyone is acquaintances, and I don't go around with Director Chen. I know it's impossible to change the leading role, but our company has invested so much money in the movie, so let's give a few supporting roles!"

Chen Kaige naturally did not believe Cao Yi's words.

When talking about the actors of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" before, Cao Yi's posture could not wait to replace all the leading actors with his own.

Chen Kaige dared to promise that if he dared to let go before, Cao Yi would never be polite.

But since it's not a starring role, it's all negotiable.

After all, it is also an investor, and this face is still to be given.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Chen Kaige said solemnly:
"Yes, but it can't be more than two. If everyone plays like Mr. Cao, I can't make this movie!"

It is true that Cao Yi is an investor, but it is impossible for Chen Kaige to put people in.

And before the investment, Chen Kaige had already said that he had absolute autonomy in choosing roles.

However, after a good negotiation, Cao Yi made a lot of calls that should be made.

If you make a few phone calls, you can add more artists from your company to Chen Kaige's movies. He can't wait to make calls 24 hours a day.

"Tang Xuanzong, Li Bai, I want these two characters!"

When Chen Kaige's voice fell, Cao Yi immediately spoke.

It seemed that before the call, he had guessed that Chen Kaige would agree.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Kaige nodded from time to time in front of him.

When he heard the words Li Bai, he couldn't sit still.

"Li Bai can't do it, you can't change someone else!" Seemingly realizing that the tone of his words was a little heavy, Chen Kaige's tone softened a little.

"Mr. Cao, there is already a suitable candidate for the role of Li Bai, you should change someone!"

"Is that so! Let's change to Gao Lishi!"

"Row!"

Chen Kaige gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

After a few casual chats, the two hung up the phone.
