Imperial Capital, Imperial Capital Film Academy.

After reading Cao An’s script, Mr. Zhao’s face was full of doubts.

“You don’t write this script like a young man.”

“Although I look young, I’m mature in writing scripts.”

Cao An said with a grin.

“Okay, the script is very good, just focus on filming, don’t be disturbed by external factors.”

Mr. Zhao was also worried that Cao An would be affected by online discussions.

In fact, he was a little worried when he first saw the theme of “Little People”.

Cao An’s age is there, and he is not like other directors who were depressed for a while after graduation.

This kid has not suffered any setbacks since he started filming, and his life has been getting better and better.

I am worried that he has been in the upper class for too long and has a wrong understanding of the lower class.

But judging from the script this time, Cao An not only did not have a wrong understanding of the lower class, but grasped it very accurately.

“Thank you, teacher. Don’t worry. I don’t care about those things.”

“Well, then I’m relieved.”

The next day, Cao An’s script for “Dying to Survive” was approved.

He also officially started to select actors.

The core of them are naturally the five protagonists.

After some thought, Cao An gave the protagonist Cheng Yong to Zhang Songwen. There was no need to worry about his acting skills, and he had been living an ordinary life before joining Fanxing, so he had enough experience.

But the other four protagonists in the company were not suitable.

Peng Yuchang is suitable for playing a sunny boy, but he is not suitable for a sick young man like Huangmao Peng Hao.

Zhu Yilong is not very good at playing Lv Shouyi or Pastor Liu. He is a handsome guy.

Instead, he is suitable for playing the policeman Cao Bin.

As for Liu Sihui, there is really no female artist in the company who can perform that kind of motherhood.

Pastor Liu Cao An thought of a person, Wu Mengda.

He is from Hong Kong, there are many churches there, and he is more familiar with him.

Thinking of this, Cao An called Wu Mengda directly.

When the other party answered the phone and heard Cao An’s invitation, he agreed without thinking.

“Thank you, Director Cao, I am willing to take this role.”

He became famous in the mainland because of a movie by Cao An.

When he was young, he played a lot of comedies, but when he was older, he wanted to play some serious dramas.

So when he heard Cao An’s invitation, he agreed without thinking.

After determining that no one in the company was suitable for the main role, Cao An launched an open actor recruitment.

After a day of interviews.

Several roles in “Dying to Survive” were found.

Lv Shouyi was taken by Wang Chuanjun, and Liu Sihui was taken by Cao An’s old acquaintance Zeng Li.

Zhang Yu played the yellow-haired Peng Hao, not for anything else, just because of his skinny appearance, he could play a chronically ill patient with a little makeup.

In addition to these actors.

Cao An invited Li Youbin to guest-star as the police chief.

Let Liu Shishi guest-star as the ex-wife of the protagonist Cheng Yong.

Cao An asked Ma Li to play the role of Lu Shouyi’s wife.

In the end, the main characters left were the profiteer Zhang Changlin and the sick old woman.

There were no suitable actors for these two roles during the audition.

Just when Cao An was struggling, his office door was knocked.

“Come in.”

Shen Teng, who was usually smiling, walked in with a serious face today.

“What can make you frown?” Cao An asked.

Shen Teng said directly: “Boss, I received an invitation from Director Zhang Yimou.”

“Go if you want to go, don’t consider me. You can make his money is equal to me making his money, it’s a win-win situation.”

Cao An did not object to the actors of his own company taking on other directors’ plays.

He started his career with strength and would not be constrained by an actor.

“Then I refuse. I just finished acting in Director Guo’s play. I want to rest for a while.”

“Then I won’t bother you, boss.”

After saying that, he turned and left, but Cao An looked at him and muttered in his heart: “Isn’t this a typical profiteer?”

“Wait a minute.”

“What is it, boss? Just tell me.”

“I need a profiteer role in my movie. Do you want it? If not, I’ll find someone else.”

Hearing this, Shen Teng’s eyes lit up and he hurried to Cao An.

“Yes, yes, yes, I cherish Boss Cao’s role so much that I can’t refuse it.”

“Don’t you want to rest?”

“I rested a long time ago during the Chinese New Year. Now I’m full of energy and can shoot at any time.”

“Okay, go down and wait for notification.”

Cao An stopped him from continuing to play tricks.

“Okay.”

Shen Teng smiled and left Cao An’s office, muttering in his heart: “Today is really a good day.”He received an invitation from Zhang Yimou’s studio when he got up this morning. When he saw it, he decided to refuse without thinking.

As long as they don’t commit crimes, Fanxing does not prohibit artists from taking on other directors’ plays.

But Shen Teng felt that he couldn’t and shouldn’t take on Zhang Yimou’s plays.

Fanxing and Cao An are his benefactors.

So after he refused, he came to Cao An to report.

Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to get a role for his boss.

In his heart, his boss’s level is much higher than Zhang Yimou.

Half of the top ten domestic box office rankings are his boss’s.

He Zhang Yimou only has a few!

For the last role of a sick old woman, Cao An found Zhu Ling, the Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters.

The latter readily agreed to Cao An’s invitation.

After the last collaboration on “Your Name”, the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Cao An often visits her during festivals, and she also likes Cao An very much.

All the main actors have been confirmed, and Cao An’s “Dying to Survive” crew is ready to start filming.

Just as Cao An was about to lead the crew to Jiankang to shoot in the south, Fang Haoli and Lin Yufen found him.

“Boss, “Eastern Palace” has been produced, you pick a date.”

“Okay, what is the hot TV series recently?” Cao An asked.

“Mi Mi played in “Ancient Swordsman”, her popularity has increased because of this drama.”

Fang Haoli said.

As the general manager of Fanxing, she must have a good understanding of the market.

Now Fanxing has Cao An, the boss who can be a hands-off boss at any time, so she has to stand up.

“Since it’s our own, let’s broadcast it after “Ancient Swordsman” is finished.”

“Okay.”

Fang Haoli had no objection to this.

At this time, Cao An saw Lin Yufen and suddenly remembered that he still had a script in his hand.

“Does Director Lin need to rest for a while?”

When Lin Yufen heard Cao An’s question, she immediately knew that Cao An had a script in his hand.

She smiled and said, “I’ve rested enough.”

“Okay.”

Cao An took out the script of “Sito” from the drawer, handed it to her and said:

“Thank you for your hard work, Director Lin. I have only one requirement for this drama. The heroine must be beautiful and have good temperament.”

Fang Haoli heard that Cao An’s requirement for this drama was this.

Her eyes lit up and she immediately realized that this was definitely a good drama to promote actresses.

Turning around to Lin Yufen, she said:

“Director Lin, call me when you are selecting people. Such a big cake can’t be given to others.”
