After being broken by Qingmei, I became a top player

After staying in Qingzhou for a few days, Chen Shuren flew to Yangzhou with Sun Wen, who had finished the finishing work of the diaosi man.

Crazy Stone, casting, begins.

“What roles have been cast now?”

In the office, Chen Shuren asked Sun Wendao.

"I haven't decided yet. I have already contacted most of the supporting actors. They are basically still in school or have just graduated. Some of the actors I met in Director Zhang's crew last time. If you need further interviews, I will make a call. See you all."

Sun Wen replied.

"Oh? Brother Dao, Director Zhang also knows the candidate for Lao Bao? These two people still need some acting skills."

"No, I haven't chosen these two candidates yet."

Hearing this, Chen Shuren looked surprised.

"Didn't make a good choice?"

"Well, there were some candidates before, and they all met Director Zhang. But when I called one of them, he said that he was not available, and the other one was even worse. When I chatted with him on Wechat, I found that we were no longer friends. Already..."

Speaking of this, Sun Wen was also a little helpless.

"Ah? Why is that? Have you offended them?"

"What are you offending? I later found out from others. After I left Director Zhang's crew, they knew that I had nothing to do with Director Zhang. Since it doesn't matter, there's no need to fawn over me."

"But fortunately, I'm not a failure as a person. At least there are a few people I can talk to and are willing to star in."

Sun Wen said.

Chen Shuren smiled after hearing this and said nothing more.

"So, do you have any recommendations for these two actors?"

"Not yet, come find it."

Sun Wen shrugged and said.

"Okay, I..."

Before Chen Shuren finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on his office door.

"Enter."

Chen Shuren and Sun Wen looked over together. The person coming was Li Linfeng, the director of the film and television department.

"Eh? Director Chen, you are busy."

When Li Linfeng came in and saw Sun Wen, he was also stunned.

"It's okay, is there something wrong with Director Li?"

Chen Shuren stood up and asked.

"As for the movie, if you're busy, I'll come back later."

Li Linfeng said and was about to leave.

"Director Li, we are also talking about a movie. This is Sun Wen, the director of the movie. Sun Wen, this is Li Linfeng, the director of the film and television department."

Upon hearing Chen Shuren's introduction, Li Linfeng's eyes flashed with strange color.

He knew that Chen Shuren would need a new group of people for his film, but this director looked too young, right?

Although he thought so in his heart, there was no sign of neglect on Li Linfeng's face.

"Director Sun, hello, hello."

Sun Wen also hurriedly stood up and shook hands.

After getting to know each other, the three of them sat down again.

"Director Li, why are you here this time?"

Chen Shuren was the first to speak.

"It's like this. After I learned from Director Zeng that you were back, I rushed over. These are some of the actors we often work with in our film and television department, some from our company and some from other companies."

As Li Linfeng spoke, he opened the document bag he had been holding and took out a pile of actor information.

Chen Shuren and Sun Wen looked at each other, said nothing, picked up the actor information and started reading.

Ten minutes later, Chen Shuren put down the information in his hand.

"Director Li, can these actors be interviewed at any time?"

I have to say that although Tianyu Film and Television Department has not made any big achievements in Yangzhou, Yangzhou is a big film and television state after all, and actors are really not that scarce.

Chen Shuren looked at the information and found that almost every one of them was an actor who had participated in a big movie. Some of them had even been the protagonist, but it was not a big movie.

So after browsing it once, Chen Shuren felt confident.

Originally, he wanted to go to Director Zhang and Director Gao to ask if there were any actors he could recommend. If not, he could also ask for help from two professors, Qin Yuan and Ding Jie, who had starred in "The Tuner".

But now it seems that there should be no need to trouble others.

"Yes, these are all actors who have been scheduled recently. I didn't take the ones that were unavailable."

When Li Linfeng heard Chen Shuren ask this, his face became more joyful.

He was not using his authority to insert people into the group, but he really wanted to help Chen Shuren.

The impact of the investment failure of the previous movie has not yet passed. Although the sitcom "Unexpectedly" saved him from being fired, it is estimated that he will need a buffer of one or two years if he wants to be involved in a major movie again.

One year is not a long time, but if he really waits for one year, it is unclear how many actor and director resources he will have left by then.

So after hearing that Chen Shuren was going to make a big movie, he had the idea of ​​getting involved.

Even if he does not participate in any decision-making of the movie, as long as Chen Shuren accepts the actors he provided, it can be regarded as a contribution to the movie, which can also restore some of his impression among Tianyu's leadership.

It can be said that Li Linfeng is really walking on thin ice now, just to save his career.

"In that case, you'll call these four here to take a look. We'll have a casting interview tomorrow."

Chen Shuren pulled out four pieces of information and placed them in front of Li Linfeng.

Li Linfeng was even more delighted when he saw four pictures at once.

"Okay, I will definitely notify you. By the way, what role are they being interviewed for?"

When Li Linfeng was packing up the information, he suddenly asked.

"Male one, male two."

Chen Shuren thought about the screen time of Brother Dao and Lao Bao, and replied.

"Oh, okay...huh?"

The movements in Li Linfeng's hands stopped suddenly, and he looked at Chen Shuren with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Male one, male two?"

"right."

"this……"

Li Linfeng was dumbfounded. He came here just to recommend some supporting roles to Chen Shuren, but why did he end up being the first and second male lead?

"Then what, Director Chen, if you choose the first and second male candidates, I will get you some new information."

Li Linfeng said a little embarrassed.

"I thought the male protagonist of the movie had already been chosen, so the ones I came here with were supporting actors and the like. You wait, I'll go back and prepare."

Chen Shuren stopped Li Linfeng's movements.

"Director Li, there's no need for this, just these four."

"But if they are the leading actors, then the film will not have enough stars, right?"

Li Linfeng said hesitantly.

He hopes the movie will be successful more than Chen Shuren.

If the movie is successful, then the one he previously invested in that failed can be considered as having made up for it. Even if he cannot return to his previous state, he will be able to shorten the process.

But now, he was a little worried.

"Director Li doesn't need to worry about the coffee job. The investment is not big to begin with. If we really want to hire someone with a coffee job, the funds won't be enough."

Hearing Chen Shuren's words, Li Linfeng suddenly remembered something and smiled awkwardly.

Because his investment failed, the head office directly cut off the resources of the film and television department.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Shuren wanted to make a big movie this time, it would have been impossible to get the project approved, let alone return the resources.

Thinking of this, all Li Linfeng's previous fantasies disappeared.

What achievements can be made in a movie that uses an actor with strong supporting roles as the protagonist?

Li Linfeng suddenly seemed to understand something and smiled bitterly.

It seems that Chen Shuren's film this time should be used to test the waters, otherwise it is impossible that Zeng Juan will not have any support.

It's probably impossible to benefit him through this drama.

"In that case, I will notify these four to come for interviews first."

Li Linfeng stopped mentioning the matter of re-obtaining the actor's information. With a slight loss on his face, he left Chen Shuren's office with the information divided into two piles.

"Brother Shu, didn't you say before that the film and television department doesn't have a good relationship with you? But when I look at it this time, I think Manager Li is pretty cool!"

Sun Wen said doubtfully.

Chen Shuren shook his head and did not explain the reason.

"Now that the actors have all been chosen, Lao Sun, please notify those who will come for the interview tomorrow, and let's take a look together."

"OK."

Time flies.

The next day, in a conference room on a certain floor of Tianyu Company, Chen Shuren, Sun Wen, Li Linfeng and Tang Yingcheng were all sitting at a long table.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, Chen Shuren decided to call Li Linfeng to watch. No matter what the other party thought, at least in terms of actors, Li Linfeng did help.

As for Tang Yingcheng, Chen Shuren took him to see him out of pure curiosity.

"Interviewing for supporting roles first, or for male and female actors?"

Sun Wen asked, and Chen Shuren thought for a moment and said, "Let's go first, one man and two men."

When Li Linfeng heard this, he immediately waved to the staff to call people in.

After a while, the first interviewer walked in.

The person who came was an actor who looked like an uncle in his forties, with a faint smile on his face. It was a bit fake, but it made Chen Shuren's eyes brighten.

"Hello teachers, I am Cui Huiqiang, forty-two years old, interviewing Brother Dao."

Cui Huiqiang sat on the chair and briefly introduced himself.

After Sun Wen took a look at the information in his hand, he said with a dull face: "Hello, did you watch a few scenes of Brother Dao yesterday?"

It wasn't that Sun Wen was putting on a show, but that he didn't know what expression to use.

This is also his first time in a big movie!

"seen it already."

"Okay, let's do the first scene first."

Cui Huiqiang stood up after hearing this, walked to the side and took out his mobile phone.

After brewing for three seconds, he frowned and put the phone to his ear.

"You women, you just don't understand! This is the period when my career is on the rise. How can I get away with it?"

…

When Cui Huiqiang was performing, Chen Shuren and Sun Wen were observing with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Li Linfeng on the side was not as focused as the two people in front of him. He was just here to accompany him, and his opinion was not important, so he just took a brief look at Cui Huiqiang's performance and then set his sights on Chen Shuren.

He was more interested in Chen Shuren than the actor.

Although he is not optimistic about Chen Shuren's movie, he still has some admiration for Chen Shuren.

Thinking back to the situation in the composition department and variety show department before Chen Shuren came, he felt as if he was in another world.

"If he is asked to manage the film and television department, will he also take the film and television department to a higher level and truly enter the first line of Yangzhou Film and Television?"

Li Linfeng was startled by his sudden thought and felt that he was crazy.

But after thinking about it again, it seems that even if Chen Shuren became the deputy director of the composition department and variety show department, there was no situation where the supervisor was squeezed out.

Zeng Juan didn't say that she had a good relationship with Chen Shuren.

But Wu Changqin can’t be in a relationship with Chen Shuren, right?

Thinking of Wu Changqin, Li Linfeng also thought that Chen Shuren had already served as the deputy director of the film and television department. Suddenly, he fell into deep thought.

…

"Okay, stop, you can perform the second part again."

Sun Wen stopped and continued to let Cui Huiqiang perform.

After Cui Huiqiang brewed for a while, he held something in the air and continued to perform.

"You insulted my character and my IQ!"

"False, you are the woman who cheated on me!"

"..."

"We replaced the real one with a fake one?"

"You really spend a lot of money trying to pick up girls!"

Cui Huiqiang performed three clips in a row, and Chen Shuren and Sun Wen watched it very seriously.

After it was over, Sun Wen came up to Chen Shuren and asked softly: "How do you say it?"

Chen Shuren glanced at him, and then whispered back, "Go home and wait for news."

Sun Wen almost choked. He originally wanted Chen Shuren to tell how the performance went, but now that he thought about it, there were three more to come, so it wouldn't be too late to wait until the interview was over.

"Thank you Mr. Cui for your performance. We still need to discuss the specific situation. You can go back and wait for the news. News will be given to you no later than three days."

Cui Huiqiang didn't feel anything was wrong. With a smile on his face, he said hello and left.

After that, three more people came in for interviews, one was Brother Dao and the other two were Lao Bao.

After Chen Shuren saw the appearance and acting skills of the last actor playing Lao Bao, he made the decision under Sun Wen's astonished gaze.

Of course, in Sun Wen's eyes, Chen Shuren was right in his eyes, but in Chen Shuren's eyes, it was more than that.

Isn't the gift of discerning people used in this situation?

Lao Bao was determined, but Brother Dao and Chen Shuren were not.

The two interviewees of Brother Dao were both remarkable, but they did not reach the level that made Chen Shuren attracted, nor did they have the talent to make Chen Shuren hire him out of the ordinary.

So Brother Dao is still undecided.

After that, several people started interviews for supporting roles.

Compared with male and female interviewees who each come in and have to perform several scenes, the supporting role interview has a slightly larger number of people, so they basically perform once and then leave. In special circumstances, they can only perform twice at most.

But the good news is that after one day of interviews, all the supporting actors were cast.

"What about Brother Dao?"

At the end, Sun Wen asked Chen Shu about humanity.

"Well... let's just say Cui Huiqiang. His performance is closest to my idea. I'll tell him my idea later. It should be okay."

"Okay, that's it! Crazy Stone, the cast is confirmed!"

Sun Wen slapped the table, and the tired look on his face from a day of interviews was instantly wiped away.

This is his first big movie, if you are not excited it would be a lie.

Chen Shuren looked at Sun Wen from the side, and then said with a smile:

"Old Sun, please hurry up and shave your hair in the past two days. By the way, what I need is a boss with a shiny scalp. You may have to wax your head by then."

Suddenly hearing Chen Shuren's words, Sun Wen froze.

"Want to wax again?"

…
