October 20th.
Zhang Fan's group of three spent over ten days recruiting and preparing for the production.
Xu Qingqing went around contacting powerful investors.
Niu Chen went to the actors 'guild to announce the demand for actors and went to survey the scenery.
Inception was a sci-fi film that required a lot of special effects, so he had to build his own studio.
Niu Chen had a wide network of friends. He used some connections and rented a venue that was nearly 4,000 square meters in the suburbs.
Zhang Fan was in charge of the specific interviews. Aside from the few main actors, he had also found the assistant director, acting director, lighting technician, stuntmen, stunt double, and extras.
He had experience in filming web dramas before, so he was quite good at choosing actors.
Moreover, without the investors pointing fingers at him, it was easier.
……
10 AM, Shenxiu Film Company.
Zhang Fan, Xu Qingqing, and Niu Chen arrived early in the morning. The other employees were also quite nervous. Today was the day of the audition for the lead actor.
Inception wasn't a one-man show. Although the main storyline was the protagonist's self-redemption, the entire process was a team effort.
It could be said that the eight main characters had a lot of scenes and a lot of scenes.
Every link was indispensable.
For example, the tycoon Saitou in the movie, as the protagonist's most powerful opponent, had to have the temperament of a fierce and ambitious man.
There was also the protagonist's " inner demon ", the protagonist's wife who was lost in a dream. She had extremely paranoid and complicated inner meanings that ordinary actresses could not control at all.
These roles were extremely difficult to find, but fortunately, he already had 100 million yuan and an excellent script.
Moreover, he had to thank the Chinese Actors Guild for having several veteran actors come for interviews today.
……
"Dong dong dong!"
"Please come in."
He was dressed in an exquisite suit, his thick hair was messy, his face was square, and his eyes were bright. Occasionally, there was a hint of power in his eyes.
Obviously, he had prepared himself mentally before coming.
The role for the audition was none other than the billionaire tycoon, Saitou.
When Zhang Fan saw this middle-aged man named " Yu Wei," he instantly confirmed that Saitou was the character.
It was him!
There was no need to think too much about it. In the TV series " Roaring Tiger and Dragon Dragon ", Yu Wei had truly brought the role of Cao Cao to life, showing off his domineering aura.
Zhang Fan and the others stood up almost simultaneously.
"Hello, Teacher Yu."
Yu Wei slowly walked to the center of the conference room and leisurely walked there. He smiled faintly and said,"Hello, director, and teachers."
His face was indifferent, his eyes were sharp and deep, and he looked at the three of them with a natural sense of superiority. He was like a Pharaoh at the top of a pyramid, looking down at the people below him.
Instantly, a sharp and aggressive aura assaulted him.
His acting skills were definitely at the level of a master!
"Hiss ~"
Xu Qingqing and Niu Chen both took a deep breath, their auras suppressed.
Especially for an outstanding actress like Xu Qingqing, she had the sharpest senses.
Zhang Fan, who had godlike acting skills, wasn't afraid at all. He smiled and said,""Teacher Yu, welcome to the crew of Inception. You can ask your manager to discuss the issue of remuneration.”
"Oh?"
Yu Wei smiled in surprise." So I passed? I don't need to audition?"”
"Haven't we already tried?"
Zhang Fan smiled and extended his hand.
Yu Wei shook hands with Zhang Fan and smiled." Director Zhang is young and promising. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."”
"Happy cooperation!"
In just a few words, he had already decided to cooperate. His speed was unparalleled.
Until Yu Wei left, Xu Qingqing and Niu Chen did not react.
Soon, another interviewer pushed open the door and entered.
……
"Hello, everyone. I'm Xu Kun, a film trainee from Tianmei Pictures. I can rap, sing, dance, basketball…and perform.”
"I want to audition for the role of the second male lead, Zhao Se.”
Zhang Fan looked at this androgynous human in front of him and rubbed his forehead.
"Alright, please begin your performance.”
Zhang Fan lowered his head and drew a cross at the back of his notebook. He suppressed his anger and said,""The scene where Zhao Se is shot by Jiang Meng. Oh right, have you memorized your lines?”
There was no other way. Tianmei Pictures was one of the top five film companies in the world, and it was incredibly powerful. It also had a certain degree of interest in investing in Inception, so Zhang Fan had to give it some face.
"I'm very dedicated. I memorize my lines very seriously…"
Zhang Fan's temples were throbbing.
He wanted to curse.
Since when did memorizing lines become professionalism?
I'll endure it.
"Then let's begin. I'll act for you." Zhang Fan didn't wait for him to say anything else.”
Xu Kun didn't expect that Zhang Fan wouldn't give him any time to recover. He immediately widened his eyes and frowned as he pretended to be in pain.
Her tender little face was flushed red.
Zhang Fan almost laughed out loud.
Did you get shot?
Constipated!
"Alright, go back and wait for the news." Zhang Fan's patience ran out, and he immediately shouted.
"Director, I think my performance just now was slightly flawed. Can you give me another chance and time to get into the zone?”
" Get out!" Zhang Fan suddenly shouted coldly.!!!”
Endure!
Endure my ass!
He was about to puke!
Xu Kun left dejectedly.
Zhang Fan fiercely glared at the acting director and growled,""I don't want to waste my time like this. If I let such a young hunk in again, get lost immediately.”
The acting director's face turned pale.
The conference room was silent.
Zhang Fan had been smiling and treating everyone warmly for the past two weeks.
This was the first time he was so angry.
"Okay, director. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again.”
The acting director quickly apologized.
Zhang Fan was the director.
Moreover, the treatment he offered was top-notch in the entire industry.
In addition, the film and television industry had its own rules. If a newcomer like him dared to go against the director, the other production teams would not use him anymore. His job would be ruined!
Moreover, this matter was his fault in the first place!
Zhang Fan took a deep breath.
He decided that all the young hunks would get lost.
It's my movie, I make the decisions.
F * ck, I'm already cheating, why would I be afraid of a hammer?
The investors didn't want to invest.
If you want to point fingers and stuff trash into my production team, get lost.
"Next."
Zhang Fan said with a cold expression.
The acting director trembled with fear and immediately shouted outside the door,"Number 12."
