Chapter 83 New Movie Casting
Since Wang Jinghua took away a group of artists from Huayi, Shuangbin was currently vying for the position of the first sister of Huayi.

The two of them also disliked each other.

But at this time, the two of them were leaning on the railing with their hands and still talking "intimately".

"Did you receive Director Li's invitation?"

"No. Did you receive it?" Li Binbin saw Fan Binbin asking, still a little confused. Did she receive the invitation?

"Haha, no." Fan Binbin was a little amused when he saw that the other party was a little nervous.

Li Binbin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the other party didn't.

"It seems that Director Feng's "The Night Banquet" didn't involve us either," Fan Binbin said immediately.

Li Binbin squinted his eyes, turned around and left without saying anything.

Li Mu had the final say in the casting this time. He was not an old man. He could still let a layman, who didn't know anything about anything, insert actors.

Wu Ershan and two casting directors were also present during the interview.

It was arranged by Li Mu. He didn't plan to choose them all by himself. Basically, it was enough to just invite a few people to try it out.

The rest can be handled by the people below, with Li Mu making the final decision.

There were not many people at the casting scene, and the actors were all mixed together.

People like Leung Ka-fai, Ng Kwan-ru, Simon Yam and others can face this kind of scene with ease, even if they are actors from different countries.

The arrival of Li Mu made everyone stop what they were doing, and the Korean artist even bowed his head.

Li Mu greeted everyone and started the audition.

Out of selfish motives, Li Mu directly adjusted the character settings of the slightly more important roles, mainly domestic actors, and also adjusted the script.

It is reasonable for China and South Korea to co-produce, with China in the front and South Korea in the back.

However, Li Mu was not too harsh. Some characters were not suitable for adjustment, and Li Mu did not mess around.

Can those movies that use one or two actors to perform for a minute or two and use domestic funds to do so can be called co-productions?
Li Mu disdained to do such a thing.

Li Mu will be filming "The Treasure Hunt" this time, which has broken seventeen box office records in Korean film history and has become the No. 1 box office movie in Korean film history.

However, this movie only lasted for a year before it was broken by "The Battle of Ming Liang".

But the record it set is still shocking.

CJ Entertainment came to the door, so Li Mu naturally accepted it, otherwise he would be sorry for the other party's kindness.

"Treasure Hunters" tells the story of a team of 10 thieves from South Korea and China who launched a joint operation to steal the rare and famous diamond "Tears of the Sun" hidden in a Macau casino.

The film is positioned as a crime action film, and it is also Li Mu's first exposure to this type of film.

Li Mu selected three of his own from Xingmeng's Xiangjiang artist list, Liang Jiahui, Wu Junru and Yuan Yongyi.

Since it is suitable, then we must give priority to our own people.

Liang Jiahui plays the boss behind the scenes, a mysterious character who exudes leadership and will not reveal his inner self easily.

Wu Junru plays the role of a safe expert, a legendary safe thief who never misses any item in his hand.Although she looks very cool on the outside, she is a woman with deep wounds inside.

The interview and proofing process started with Liang Jiahui. After all, he is a movie king-level figure. Li Mu also wanted to see how he would act in this role.

"Brother Hui, let's take a look at the scene where two groups of people gathered in Macau." Li Mu smiled.

"Director Li, you think too highly of me." Liang Jiahui deliberately spoke Hong Kong-style Mandarin, which made people laugh.

Li Mu also laughed out loud when he heard this non-standard "boiled winter melon".

This scene requires the coordination of the two thieves, and Li Mu also wants to see if the boss behind the scenes can get out of this aura.

The casting director called everyone in to join the cast.

When I heard that this scene was going to be performed, I was a little shocked. Was it a group act from the beginning?
Especially when everyone has not cooperated, this is even more difficult.

Fortunately, everyone was not a vegetarian, especially Liang Jiahui. He understood what Li Mu meant, and this was not a good fight.

Liang Jiahui's acting skills exploded in an instant, and then he took a handbag next to him, put one hand in his pocket, his eyelids were slightly lowered, and his eyes seemed to be looking straight ahead, giving him a sense of mystery.

The sense of layering and immersion suddenly rises.

He led everyone to walk a few steps at the audition site, and the pace was controlled just right, and all the follow-up people were moved by him.

Wu Ershan whispered in Li Mu's ear: "This is so powerful, it will explode."

"It's even more explosive in "The King of Chess"."

Li Mu thought about it, and what shocked him the most about Liang Jiahui's acting skills was that in "The King of Chess", Liang Jiahui ate an ordinary bowl of white rice, and he felt like he was eating a Man-Han banquet.

"Beautiful, wonderful!" Li Mu said while applauding.

Wu Ershan and the two casting directors also gave warm applause.

Korean actors and others were also deeply shocked.

Kim Hae-sook and Oh Dal-soo are better, they are veteran actors after all.

"Senior is so awesome!" Quan Zhixian whispered to Jin Xiuxian.

With Liang Jiahui's proofing, the subsequent auditions went much more smoothly.

The actors are also competing in terms of acting skills. Ren Dahua, Wu Junru, and Zeng Guoxiang are not outstanding in their acting skills. They are all performing superbly.

Who would admit to being weaker than others.

It was the turn of the actors from the Bangzi Kingdom. Two veteran actors, Kim Hae-sook and Oh Dal-soo, also showed off their outstanding acting skills.Li Zhengzai has not yet transformed into the God of War in the Corridor, and is still very reserved when facing a top director like Li Mu.

The hierarchical hierarchy in Bangzi Country was so severe that when these people bowed, Li Mu felt that they were bending almost 90 degrees.

Even in South Korea, Li Mu's identity can determine the fate of these actors.

"Call the next one." Li Mu said, Li Zhengzai was quite suitable, and Li Mu had no intention of replacing him with anyone else.

Then Quan Zhixian walked in. She is one of the important characters in the whole film. In her previous life, her role was very brilliant and she benefited a lot.

After all, he was making money for himself, so Li Mu finally held back and did not take action on this character, replacing him with one of his own.

It is indeed inappropriate. If this setting is changed, the film will be completely out of shape.

This "savage girlfriend" is not savage at this time, but she looks a little nervous.

He greeted Li Mu and others with a series of greetings.

Fortunately, there were no oppas flying all over the sky like in later generations, otherwise the water Li Mu drank would have spurted out.

Quan Zhixian looked uneasy. She also knew very well that the power and status of the person sitting at this moment was not comparable to those of Korean directors. A casual word might make her hard work go to waste.

Li Mu was about to extract a fragment when Quan Zhixian spoke up:

"PD Li, I have prepared a clip. Can I act in it first?"

"Huh?" Li Mu was also a little surprised, but he still nodded. This kind of thing often happens during auditions, and Li Mu was also a little curious about which clip this person chose.

In Bangzi Country, the responsibilities of producer and director are often performed by one person, called PD.

Seeing Li Mu nodding in agreement to her request, Quan Zhixian showed a happy smile on his face.

She had carefully prepared this plot for a long time.

I saw Quan Zhixian in a white suit. He yanked the zipper of his clothes with his right hand, quickly kicked off his shoes, pulled down his white pants, revealing a black thief-like corset, then tied up his hair, put on headphones and shoes.
Wu Ershan and the two actors stared intently, fearing that they would miss the wonderful scene. However, the scene ended abruptly, and they were immediately disappointed.

Li Mu also burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, Quan Zhixian researched this plot very thoroughly for this role.

This Korea's "number one goddess" has had many famous costume-changing scenes in later generations. She is not too beautiful, but she has a dash of charm, so this role suits her quite well.

The thief's tight corset does look a little weird on him.

Quan Zhixian took a deep breath. She was also very nervous, waiting for Li Mu's sentencing.

"Okay, it's up to you." Li Mu agreed.

When the dust fell to the ground, Quan Zhixian quickly bowed several times and thanked her frantically.

You know how many female celebrities in South Korea are eyeing this role. She also worked hard to get the opportunity.

The Korean public is also full of expectations for this movie. After all, it is a movie by a major Hollywood director.

There is no director in South Korea who can succeed in Hollywood. Being able to star in Li Mu's movie is already a great honor for Korean actors.

And this role finally belongs to me.
After the main characters are selected, the rest can be left to Wu Ershan and others.

However, Li Mu specifically explained to Wu Ershan and arranged a small supporting role for Luo Jin.

Luo Jin didn't have any plans at this time. He was a classmate and roommate, so Li Mu wouldn't be stingy if he could help him.

What's more, the people behind him are probably people from his own agency, so he has to help.

It is said that if a person achieves the Tao, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. Li Mu is considered to have achieved Tao now. If the people around him don't ascend a little bit, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

The leading role in the movie is definitely inappropriate, a supporting role, insignificant.

Luo Jin is also outside now. The leading actors have completed their auditions, leaving only supporting roles and the like.

"Brother Jin, I'm so envious of you. I can be a classmate with Director Li. I think this role is solid." Some actors gathered around Luo Jin.

Being able to play a supporting role in Li Mu's movie is a proven resume to the outside world.

Some actors cherish it very much. Not everyone is so lucky to be the protagonist directly.

Most actors usually start out as supporting roles. Li Mu's film is also a large-scale co-production, and its appeal is self-evident.

The relationship between Li Mu and the people around him has long been cleared up in the industry.

Who can be offended and who cannot be offended? The people in this circle are very clear.

This is a required course unless you have an incredible background.

Although Luo Jin hasn't acted in many dramas now, he can't stand the fact that he and Li Mu are classmates.

Everyone looked envious, but it was unclear why they were jealous secretly.

Luo Jin is also a member of his own family who knows his own affairs. There are too many people in this circle who follow the trend. Li Mu supports him out of friendship, and he will remember it very clearly.

As for the people around you, maybe they will look different when you turn around, which is commonplace.

As soon as Li Mu returned to Mengying, Liu Weijuan came to the door.

"Mr. Li, Shi Kang has already negotiated a script fee of 2.5 million for one episode."

"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Li Mu nodded. This price is normal in the industry, and Shi Kang is not a newcomer.

"Mr. Li, there's one more thing. We haven't found a suitable director for "Soldier Assault" yet." Liu Weijuan was also a little embarrassed. Although Mengying was famous in the film industry, she was still a newcomer in the television industry.

The script of "Soldier Assault" has been dormant for several years. It has been passed around to various companies, but no one is willing to take it over. It is not unreasonable.
