"Director Feng, the budget is ready. Please look over." Director Zhang walked in and handed over the budget.
"Oh?" Feng Yi took it over. He took a look and handed it back. He smiled and said," Let CEO Wang handle the budget. He knows more than me."”
Director Zhang forced a smile and said,"Alright then."”He stood up and took two steps before turning back."Director Feng, CEO Wang doesn't know how to film, so he's not too sure about our budget. Do you want to personally pay a visit?"
"He doesn't know now, so you should teach him. You still have a long way to go? The two of them had to work together to maximize their efficiency.”
"Alright then." Director Zhang nodded." Director Feng, what method will we use to choose the actors?" Should he go directly to the school or send an invitation to the actors?”
"How about this? We'll send a notice to the companies in the industry first and select actors from all over the country. If there is no suitable candidate, we will go to the school to find someone.”Feng Yi thought about it and smiled," If you have suitable people, you can tell me first. I will give you two important supporting roles."”
"Alright." Director Zhang was overjoyed. He had long known that Feng Yi's control over the casting would definitely be in his hands. It was already beyond his expectations that he would be given two important supporting roles.
"However, you have to be careful. If their acting skills are not up to standard and affect the quality of the film, I will kick them out.”Feng Yi said solemnly.
"Of course, this is my first work. I won't let anyone ruin it.”Director Zhang promised.
"Alright, go and pass the budget to CEO Wang for review. After the review, you can start preparing for the shoot.”
"Yes…"
Feng Yi looked at Director Zhang's departing figure and couldn't help but smile. He naturally knew the crux of the matter. Director Zhang had bypassed CEO Wang and sent the budget directly to him. He just wanted to leave CEO Wang hanging and also wanted to tell others that his status was not lower than CEO Wang's. However, Feng Yi did not let him have his wish. After all, most of the director's work would be handed over to Director Zhang in the future. If no one could control him in terms of administrative power, it would not be a good thing for the work.
This time, the budget review was passed very quickly. Director Zhang had arranged all the matters, and now it was only the casting work.
While " Hurricane Rescue " was still being screened and its influence had not completely subsided, Han Feng suddenly sent a notice to all the entertainment companies. They wanted to film a palace drama in ancient times and needed a large number of actresses with outstanding acting skills. All the artists under the company could participate in the casting.
Once this news spread, it immediately caused a huge reaction in the entertainment industry. What was the background of Hanfeng Entertainment? Their first movie had already broken the box office record for Chinese movies and was ranked second in the world's box office rankings. Not to mention reaching the former's standard, even if this TV series managed to squeeze into the top 10 nationwide viewership ratings, it would still be a good opportunity for its fame to soar and become golden.
Within two days, Hanfeng Entertainment received a large number of applications.
Feng Yi brought Director Zhang over to a pile of letters and used them as stools to sit down.
"Our first selection criteria are: If one wanted to be beautiful, why would a bunch of ugly girls appear in the palace? What was going on? The second was to have a good temperament, and the one with a noble temperament would be prioritized.”Feng Yi laughed.
"Yes." Director Zhang smiled as he opened the letter." Actually, the quality of the actresses in our country is not bad. This is easy to pass."
Indeed, these two conditions alone could not eliminate many people. At their feet, the number of people who met the requirements far exceeded the number of people who were eliminated.
Feng Yi suddenly gave a sound of surprise and picked up a letter to choose from and read it carefully. Director Zhang found it strange and asked,"What's wrong?"”
"Look at her. Is she suitable for the role of Zhen Huan?”Feng Yi handed over the candidate letter in his hand.
Director Zhang took it and looked at it carefully before saying,"Yes, this Sun Li's temperament is also suitable.”
"Then put her on the list of key candidates.”
"Alright." Director Zhang casually put the candidate letter into his pocket.
After a while, Feng Yi handed him another letter of election,""This Han Bingbing is not bad either.”
"Yes."“……”
After a whole day of screening, the shortlist was finally confirmed. After that, the company's administrative staff began to call each of the selected candidates and sent them a notice of re-election. He told them to rush to the Starfire Building for the semi-finals in three days.
“
Take off your glasses and put on your contact lenses.”Zheng Chao said to Sun Li, who was looking at herself in the mirror.
"I know, I know." Sun Li said impatiently," Look at you, why are you so nervous? It's as if you're the one who's going to audition.”
"That's a period drama. Aren't you looking for a beating if you wear glasses?”Zheng Chao nagged," Also, don't wear this outfit. Find something more retro."”
"Don't be so nervous, okay?" Sun Li said. It was not like they had no food to eat and were in a hurry to start work.”
"What do you know? Which actress in Hanfeng Entertainment didn't try their best to get into the cast? You're not in a hurry." Zheng Chao said unhappily.
"It's useless to be anxious." Sun Li naturally knew about the tricks in the entertainment industry. In the past, when she was in the art troupe, it was better. After all, it was a national unit and the army. With her excellent acting skills, she won a few lead roles. However, ever since she retired and got married, the atmosphere in the entertainment industry was getting worse by the day. It had been a long time since she had gotten a good role.
The manager next to him looked at his watch and smiled."Sister Li, it's almost time for the semi-finals.”
"Then let's go." Sun Li no longer cared about Zheng Chao, who was still nagging endlessly. She picked up a coat and walked out.
