Chapter 513 The Tea Is Getting Cold Even Though the Guests Haven’t Left Yet
Ever since the film registration information for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was reported, there has been no peace for Lin Nan Pictures.
Those film and television companies, brokerage companies, actor and star studios or individuals in the circle have Yue Jun to deal with them.
But Lin Nan and Liu Yifei had a headache because they were familiar with the actors, because they could contact them directly.
"We will conduct auditions and screenings next. There are a lot of roles this time, and we will definitely need a lot of actors..."
Liu Yifei is answering the phone and hasn't stopped all morning.
She was the producer of the movie, and many actors in the industry came to fawn over her.
"Producer Liu is so official, why can't he be accommodating to my sister? Let's have some fun and make an internal decision. Haha..."
"Oh, go and audition for those female roles. I believe in your ability, or you can call him directly."
…
Lin Nan was sitting on the other side of the garden, with several puppies and kittens chasing and playing around him.
He was also answering the phone, Zhou Xun's.
"I regret now that I took on "Red Sorghum". I missed director Lin Da's new movie. You said, what should I do?"
"After you come back, you'd better join the crew of "Red Sorghum" honestly. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is not suitable for you. Have you ever seen a serious mountain king rob the wife of Yazhai like you?
Or in "Red Sorghum", he was robbed by Yu Zhan'ao, a bandit who became a monk on the way, haha..."
Lin Nan showed no mercy and joked directly with a smile.
"Damn it, how dare you look down on me, me, me..."
Zhou Xun "I"ed for a long time, but couldn't find the words to refute, so he hung up the phone angrily.
Liu Yifei stretched, walked to Lin Nan, and leaned against him naturally.
"I can finally take a break. The last call was from Senior Danchen. I asked her to wait for the audition notification from the company."
Hearing this name, Lin Nan smiled:
"They are all acquaintances. I just received a call from Senior Sister Zeng Li, as well as Fan Bingbing and the others from Cannes. Acquaintances must be given priority. Let's talk about it during the audition."
…………
Zhu Yawen is extremely calm, because there is nothing he can do if he is not calm. He is the male lead in "Red Sorghum".
Lin Nan has made it clear to him that there will definitely be a conflict in schedules, and he has no chance to participate in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom."
Looking at Wang Jinghua running to the studio with a smile on her face, Zhu Yawen could guess what she was going to say.
Sure enough, she spoke: "Yawen, Director Lin didn't tell me how to arrange for you?"
"Sister Hua, I'm going to join the crew of "Red Sorghum" soon." Zhu Yawen clicked.
"Then recommend Zijian to me. I know this drama has many characters."
"Sister Hua, I'm not that capable, so I can only audition. Either you go directly to Lin Nan, or Yifei..."
Zhu Yawen has long been a veteran and knows what things can and cannot be done.
…
The official Weibo account of Lin Nan Pictures officially announced the announcement.
"The movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" accepts audition resumes from actors in the industry. All available audition roles have been announced on the company's official website. Each actor can audition for up to two roles..."
As soon as the announcement came out, the film and television industry was instantly agitated.
"Is there really an open audition for the new movie directed by Lin Nan?"
"Here I go, there are so many supporting roles! Why are there so few female roles?"
"Upstairs, this is a bandit suppression, a man's show!"
…
A large number of film and television companies, brokerage companies, actors and artists in the industry are browsing the information on the official website of Lin Nan Films.
Although sometimes Lin Nan's movies will appoint actors without casting.
However, he has done a lot of public casting for his films. Among the major directors, he is the most friendly to actors in the industry.
"The most eye-catching one is probably the character of Mrs. Yazhai."
Almost all actresses are eyeing this role, from the young four-star actresses such as Yang Mi to the big-name actresses such as Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing, without exception.
As an actor, you have more choices.
The closer to the front line, the more I miss the top characters. Of course, the large number of supporting roles also gives hope to many second- and third-tier actors.
Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Lu Yi... Hu Ge, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Haibo, Hu Jun, Sha Yi... and even Deng Chao calculated their schedules and auditioned.
Lin Nan just asked Yue Jun that Zhang Yi was not available due to his schedule and was not suitable for the leading role. Lei Jiayin was still on the set of the TV series.
"Let Reba come and try it out too."
"Okay, Director Lin."
As soon as he hung up the phone, his phone buzzed again. Lin Nan picked it up and took a look, "Jiang Wen?"
"Lin Nan, what do you think about me playing Yang Zirong, brother? I think I can definitely do it, haha..."
"You can pull me back. If my guess is right, your film "One Step Away" will definitely start filming in the second half of the year. Do you have time to play the male lead for me? If you dare to come, I will dare to give you the male lead!"
Lin Nan exposed Jiang Wen sharply.
"Okay, you are awesome. If I weren't busy preparing for the movie, I would definitely have let you give me this role.
I will ask Jiang Wu to audition later and see if there is a suitable role for you. "
"Isn't it in Cannes?"
"It's not like I'm staying here forever. I'll be back in a few days."
"That's okay."
…………
I don’t know which clever guy discovered a problem.
"This is "Taking Tiger Mountain" adapted from "Lin Hai Xue Yuan". Why is there not the most crucial mountain eagle among the audition roles?"
When someone asked this question on Weibo, it immediately sparked a lot of discussion.
"If this role is not given, then there is only one possibility, the actor has been decided in advance."
"This seems to be the only role that has been decided. I am very curious, who is the one who received special treatment from Director Lin Nan?"
Lin Nan plans to announce it together after the casting is completed, which will definitely surprise the industry.
…………
Almost everyone in the film and television industry is concerned about the news of the open audition for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".
However, in the film market, new domestic films have also attracted a lot of attention.
Liu Ye and Ni Yi's "Killing" held its premiere. This is a movie that the latter shot during the lawsuit with Zhang Weiping.
What is most interesting to people in the industry is that the poster of this movie is exactly the same as Liu Ye's "Lan Yu" back then, with foreheads touching foreheads and faces touching faces.
For a time, the online discussion was much hotter, and "Lan Yu" and Hu Jun were mentioned again.
"Director Lin, there are more and more audition resumes sent by email. I guess you may not be able to audition alone."
"Then let Guo Fan and Lu Yang come together to help me audition."
Lin Nan had been prepared for this.
To be precise, since "Thieves", his movies have not been publicly cast again. Now that they are open for auditions again, there will definitely be a lot of people.
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Seeing the caller ID, Lin Nan felt a little complicated for a while.
Seeing this, Yue Jun left the office.
"Hello?"
"Director Lin, it's me, Lu Zheng."
Lin Nan smiled, "What's wrong, Mr. Lu? Tiantian is not suitable for the role of the wife of the leader, hehe."
Lu Zheng came to him, and Lin Nan couldn't think of anything else except Jing Tian's matter.
Sure enough, I heard Lu Zheng on the phone hesitating, "Really not suitable?"
"Yes, first of all, the age is not suitable. The temperament of a girl in her twenties is too immature, and it is completely different from a woman with children.
Especially in the era of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", a young woman who goes deep into the wolf's den, Tiantian is even more unsuitable, and she can't act it."
On the other end of the phone, Jing Tian, who was listening on the side, nodded seriously. It was indeed not suitable.
"Brother Lin, Uncle Lu helped me negotiate a co-production between the mainland and Hong Kong Island, "The Man from Macau". I was thinking that if you are suitable, I would turn down that one. Now... I can only wait for the next time."
Jing Tian's voice came from the phone, and Lin Nan was not surprised at all.
"It is jointly produced by Bona and China Star, directed by Wang Jing, and starring Zhou Runfa. I helped Tiantian get the leading female role. What do you think, Director Lin?"
Lu Zheng asked, which was another purpose of his call.
"China Star, Xiang Qiang?"
Lin Nan whispered, he also admired Yu Dong, who was a businessman who did not care about meat or vegetables.
"Yes, it's him."
"It's hard to say. Since you got the leading female role, you should act well. But you should still pay attention to Wang Jing..."
"Don't worry, Director Lin. He only dares to bully actresses without background."
Lu Zheng's words were full of unparalleled confidence.
"Don't worry, Brother Lin. These things won't happen."
Lin Nan had to admit that Zhou Runfa's reshooting of gambling movies was indeed a big gimmick.
"Since you got the leading female role, you should act well. You should arrange a few TV series later to digest it..."
After chatting for a few sentences, Lin Nan hung up the phone because other calls were coming in.
He was hesitating whether to answer it because it was from Ren Zhonglun.
In the end, Lin Nan must have answered it. He couldn't not answer it.
"Mr. Ren?"
"Lin Nan, you are still not authentic this time. You didn't even say hello to me."
Ren Zhonglun's voice on the other end of the phone was slightly elegant and joking.
Sometimes, Lin Nan also felt embarrassed.
They used to have a very good relationship, but after the "Painted Skin 2" incident, it seemed that they had completely broken off and were drifting further and further apart, and Han Sanping was so strong...
"Nowadays, movies have less investment, so they don't need Director Ren to help, hehe..."
Lin Nan said tactfully.
But Ren Zhonglun didn't pick up the conversation, but changed the subject.
"Old Han will retire in four months. He has been too domineering in recent years, so he can only retire, there is no other result.
If there is anything in the future, you can come to me. What he could help with before, Shanghai Film can also help solve it..."
The more Lin Nan listened, the more he felt scared. These big guys are really scheming. Are they trying to steal my girlfriend?
But what Ren Zhonglun said was right. Han Sanping was indeed very domineering.
Shanghai Film didn't get any of the famous commercial film directors in China, and they were all on the side of China Film.
"Thank you, Director Ren. There is still a long time in the future, and there will be opportunities for cooperation."
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan still felt a little weird.
"Am I being blatantly wooed?"
"Boss Han, the tea is getting cold before you even leave, haha..."
