China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 37 Big Brother’s Recommended Big Brother Role Revealed
  Private restaurant!

"Director Xiao Chen, you came very quickly, haha."

"Director Han, I heard that my idol, brother Cheng Long, is also here. Of course, I don't dare to delay for a moment."

"Oh, Director Chen is still a fan of mine. I'm honored."

Laughing, Cheng Long stepped forward and warmly stretched out his hands to shake Chen Dong's hand.

After some pleasantries, the three of them sat down, served the food, and chatted while eating.

During the chat, Chen Dong learned that the reason why Cheng Long came to the capital and met Han Shanping was that he brought a movie called "New Police Story" and needed to coordinate with China Film to set the release date.

"Brother Cheng Long, are you sure?"

"It's scheduled for September 9th, the premiere of the movie, Director Chen is not allowed to miss it, haha."

"I'll definitely come, I'll definitely come."

"I heard that Director Chen is preparing for a new movie. Have you decided on the actors?" Cheng Long asked.

"It's almost done, but there is still one role that has not yet been decided." At this point, Chen Dong stared at Cheng Long in front of him and exclaimed in his heart: Damn it, the more I look at it, the more suitable it becomes!
  But he couldn't say anything, because with Cheng Long's current status, it would be completely unpopular to play a supporting male role in one of his movies.

The key point is that they just met today. Although the atmosphere was very warm, it is pure nonsense to say that they have established a deep friendship so quickly.

However, Cheng Long caught his eyes, and combined with what he said about the role he still needed, he probably guessed what the youngest director in the country was thinking.

He was able to invite Chen Dong here through Han Shanping. He wanted to make a friendship, so he didn't pretend to fool him. Instead, he asked curiously:
  "Oh, what kind of role is it? Director Chen, wouldn't you mind telling me about it?"

Chen Dong naturally had no reason to refuse, so he introduced the setting of the heroine's husband to Cheng Long.

Now that the atmosphere has been heightened to this point, Chen Dong is not afraid of offending others and directly expresses his thoughts in a joking tone.

"Haha, in fact, when you asked me about it just now, Brother Cheng Long, I subconsciously felt that you would definitely be suitable to play the role. Ahem... I would like to ask you boldly, do you have a lot of schedule in the future? Are you interested in making a cameo in my little brother's movie? "

When Han Shanping, the intermediary, saw that Chen Dong had set his sights on Cheng Long, he smiled and stepped on him, but it felt like his junior had said something wrong in front of outsiders and his elders had stood up to criticize.

Both Chen Dong and Cheng Long could see clearly that the latter was actually a little tempted, because based on what Chen Dong said just now, this role should not be bad, and in addition, he could get to know a young director with great potential;
  But just as Chen Dong thought, if he reaches the level of the eldest brother, he will definitely fall out of favor if he takes on this kind of role again;
  Moreover, Cheng Long heard that the investment in this movie was only 30 million. If he really wanted to star in it, it would not be free. After all, he also has a team to support, so an investment of 30 million would probably not be enough;

There were too many involved, and after some quick thinking in his mind, Cheng Long still felt like giving up.

The reason is also very simple, that is, schedule conflict.

"Although I can't play the role, I just listened to Director Chen's description of the role, and I thought of someone who might be more suitable than me."

"Who?"

At this moment, not only Chen Dong, but also Han Shanping, who was watching the excitement, also cast curious glances at Cheng Long.

Cheng Long didn't show off, smiled softly, and said a name: "My senior brother, Hong Jinbao."

"Who?" His tone was a little higher.

Hong Jinbao?
  Putting aside the question of whether it's suitable or not, the thought of this actor and Fan Binbin playing husband and wife in the movie is a bit exciting.
  Ahem... But Fan Binbin hasn't gone to Hong Kong yet, so there haven't been any gossip about future generations with this big brother. "Hong Jinbao, he is my senior brother..." Cheng Long thought that the young director from the mainland in front of him did not recognize his senior brother, so he briefly introduced his impressive resume.

"Haha, Brother Cheng Long misunderstood. How could I not understand Teacher Hong Jinbao? I have watched many of his and your Kung Fu movies. I was just a little surprised that Brother would recommend him to me."

Chen Dong then added with a smile: "But don't tell me, brother, if Teacher Hong Jinbao is willing to play the role, he is indeed more suitable than You, hahaha~"

Cheng Long wasn't angry either. He just had a few glasses of wine with Chen Dong, and the latter begged for mercy. Then he laughed, took out his cell phone, and called his senior brother Hong Jinbao.

Ever since he broke up with Zhou Xingchi on the set of "Kung Fu" at the end of last year, he hasn't had much life. His junior brother Cheng Long introduced him to work, and he was working with the most popular young director in the mainland. He didn't even think about it. After thinking about it, I very generously agreed on the phone, patting my chest.

The three of them enjoyed the meal, but Chen Dong was not as good at drinking as him. In the end, they had to trouble Zhong Lifang to bring two employees who lived in the dormitory to carry him back.

The next afternoon, as soon as Chen Dong came to the company, he gave Zhong Lifang the preliminary list of roles and asked her to contact the actors to sign the contract.

Zhong Lifang glanced at the list after getting it. When her eyes fell on the name Hong Jinbao, she was slightly startled: "Director Chen, is this Hong Jinbao from Hong Kong?"

"Haha, do you still know the second Hong Jinbao?"

Zhong Lifang smiled and shook her head, she was just a little surprised.

Chen Dong ignored the other party's surprise. He thought of something and immediately said: "By the way, you should also contact the media and ask them to report it. It will be used to promote the movie in advance."

"OK, all right……"

……

[Sohu exclusive report: The new film "The Tuner" directed by Chen Dong, co-produced by Dongcheng Pictures, China Film, Shanghai Film, Bona, and Happy Studio, has confirmed the casting list, and the announcement is as follows:
  The male protagonist Aka - Yu Bo; the best actor - Hong Jinbao; the police chief - Wang Qianyuan; the doctor - Wang Yanhui; the husband of the couple - Zhu Yawen...

The heroine Sika - Fan Binbin; Sophie - Chi Xun; the lottery girl - Su Chang; the neighbor's mother-in-law - teacher Wu Yanshu; the couple's wife...]

When the casting list was announced online, not only netizens were shocked, but the industry was also in an uproar.

"Oh my god, the leading actor has never acted in the aftermath of the big screen? Am I reading that right?"

"Haha, what's wrong with never acting on the big screen? I feel that Yu Bo's TV series are quite good, especially "Water Moon Cave", so I believe that the movies he plays will definitely be good."

"That's right, if Yu Bo didn't have acting skills, Director Chen wouldn't let him play the leading role, right?"

"Haha, movies and TV series are completely different, okay..."

"..."

The above are the comments of netizens who eat melons. For those in the industry, Yubo has directly transformed from a TV drama actor to a movie actor, and he is also the leading actor, and he is the leading actor with top resources such as "The Tuner". To say that there is no behind-the-scenes What a trick, they wouldn't believe it even to death.

Tang Ren, in the CEO's office, Cai Yinong looked at the casting list published online, or to be precise, looked at Yu Bo's name, gritted his teeth and murmured: "I said Jiang Xueyuan also went to Dongcheng Film that day. The industry, the emotions are for the characters, but I don’t know what conditions Zhou Yi paid for the male protagonist Yu Bo?”

But Zhou Yi's operation undoubtedly opened up a new way of thinking for Cai Yinong.

Maybe the Tang people can do this too? !
