The strongest shopkeeper

Chapter 213 Choosing an Actor

When Jiang Kun returned to Hotel No. 81 from the plane of the anti-Japanese drama, he felt that his whole body was not well. The cruel anti-Japanese war was played like that by a group of gangsters, which made people uncomfortable.

"Master Jiang Kun, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Jiang Kun's expression was not very good, Xiao Ai asked him concerned.

"It's nothing, I'm just disgusted by a group of gangsters." Jiang Kun said, "That plane has been destroyed by me."

"What? Boss, you destroyed a plane?" Yang Jian said in surprise.

"Yes."

"The boss is worthy of being the boss, he is just amazing."

He, Yang Jian, would not be able to destroy a plane even if he practiced for another 1 years.

At this moment, Jiang Kun's cell phone rang, and he connected it and asked, "Who?"

"Boss Jiang, I'm Peng Changtian, the director you invested in. I'm currently selecting actors for the movie. Come over and take a look." Peng Changtian said on the other end of the phone.

Casting is a big deal.Jiang Kun is the only investor in this movie, and Peng Changtian invited him to watch it to show his respect for him as an investor.

"I'm only responsible for investing money, how to make a movie is your business." Jiang Kun said to Peng Changtian.

"You're an investor anyway, so it's good to come and take a look." Peng Changtian said.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look." Jiang Kun said, "Where did you choose the actors?"

"I'm going to use all new actors, not big-name stars, and the location is in the Northwest Film and Television Base." Peng Changtian said.

"OK, I'll go tomorrow."

The next day, Jiang Kun changed into an all-black formal suit and leather shoes. After all, he was going there as an investor, so he had to dress more formally.

Xiao Ai coiled her hair, dressed in a black OL professional women's clothing, black stockings wrapped her shapely and round long legs, put on a pair of flat glasses, stepped on high heels, and followed Jiang Kun as his secretary.

When the two of them walked out in this outfit, they gave the impression that they were some big boss with a beautiful secretary by their side.

The Northwest Film and Television Base is not very far from Chongjiang City, so Jiang Kun drove there by himself, which is faster.

Jiang Kun hit the accelerator and drove all the way. It took only two hours to reach the entrance of the Northwest Film and Television Base.

The Northwest Film and Television Base occupies a large area, like a small city. There are buildings of various periods in the city, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Republic of China.

Many production crews were busy taking pictures, so Jiang Kun parked his car on the side of the road and called Peng Changtian.

"Where are you? I'm at the Northwest Film and Television Base." Jiang Kun asked.

"You enter the film and television base and head north to the Qing Palace District. We recruit actors in a Qing Palace compound." Peng Changtian said.

"Row."

Jiang Kun walked north. This area was full of architectural styles of the Qing Dynasty, and many crews filming Qing palace dramas were busy.

He saw a Qingchao street next to it, and the crew surrounded the street, setting up all kinds of equipment, ordinary civilians coming and going on the street, and a beautiful protagonist was buying jewelry on the street.

Suddenly, a fast horse rushed out from nowhere, facing this crazy wild horse, the beautiful protagonist froze in place, not knowing what to do.Immediately afterwards, the handsome male protagonist came out to save the beauty.

The hero and heroine look at each other affectionately and have mutual affection.

"It's all a routine." Jiang Kun couldn't help complaining when he saw the scene of the hero saving the beauty.This kind of scene is seen too much in costume dramas.

"It's so romantic." Xiao Ai said to Jiang Kun looking at the scene where the male lead was embracing the female lead.

"How romantic is this? It's all routine, okay." Jiang Kun said.

"Although I know it's a routine, I'm stuck in a routine and can't extricate myself." Xiao Ai said.

"Women's brain circuits are indeed different from men's."

Jiang Kun and Xiao Ai arrived in front of the Qing Palace that Peng Changtian mentioned, and there was already a long queue here.Because I heard that this movie is a big production with an investment of 50 billion, and it only needs second- and third-tier actors, not famous stars, so it attracted many people.

"Excuse me." Jiang Kun said, and Xiao Ai walked into the Qing palace compound, and saw Peng Changtian sitting in the boss's seat, leading a group of people to interview actors.

When Peng Changtian saw Jiang Kun, he quickly got up to greet him.

"Boss Jiang, please sit down." Peng Changtian asked Jiang Kun to sit in his seat.

"No need, you are the director, and you are in charge of everything. I'm here to make soy sauce." Jiang Kun said, he didn't know much about movies, and it was inconvenient for him to intervene in Peng Changtian's selection of actors. He just came here for a symbolic look.
"The lead actor and heroine have already been decided. They are two second-tier actors. They have been in the showbiz for many years. They have good looks and acting skills, but they lack a good opportunity, so they have not been popular. I hope that watching this sci-fi movie will let them A big fire." Peng Changtian said.

"You have the final say." Jiang Kun said.

"I'm currently recruiting other supporting roles. I can confirm the personnel within two days today, and then I can start the machine." Peng Changtian said.

The general cost of a movie is only two to three hundred million yuan. Jiang Kun gave Peng Changtian a full five billion yuan, just to let him make high-quality movies.

Now Peng Changtian's crew is well-known in the Northwest Film and Television Base because of sufficient funds. Every crew knows that there is a local tyrant behind this sci-fi film crew.

"Are you shooting at this film and television base?" Jiang Kun asked.

"No, there is no equipment and venue conditions for shooting science fiction films in China. We mainly shoot in American film and television bases, and we start after we choose actors." Peng Changtian said.

There are almost no production crews making sci-fi films in China, so Peng Changcai will go to the United States to learn other people's technology for shooting sci-fi films and create a precedent for domestic sci-fi films.

"Okay, tell me if you don't have enough money." Jiang Kun said.

"That's enough. Boss Jiang gave me 50 billion, and there's more. I'll give you back the money I can't use up." Peng Changtian said.

In fact, Peng Changtian was very grateful to Jiang Kun for giving him this opportunity.It's hard to imagine that a new director who has just graduated can get billions of dollars in huge investment, even some well-known directors are impossible.

The opportunity was right in front of us, Peng Changtian didn't want to miss this chance to become famous, and the two leading actors he chose were the same, he didn't want to miss this chance to become famous.

"Boss Jiang, why don't you come and participate in the selection?" Peng Changtian said with a smile.

"I have no experience in this field."

"It's okay, you can just watch from the sidelines." Peng Changtian said.

"OK then."

Jiang Kun asked Xiao Ai to find two chairs in the room and sit next to Peng Changtian to see how he chooses actors.

In general TV dramas, the supporting roles are second- and third-tier actors, but Peng Changtian believes that some actors who have been in the showbiz for many years, their acting skills are no worse than second- and third-tier actors.

Actors who came to apply for supporting roles were many ordinary people who played tricks in the Northwest Film and Television Base. They didn't graduate from film school, and they didn't look good enough, so they never had a chance to become famous.

Peng Changtian wants to create a legend out of the ordinary.
