Lin Shu took out Schakoff's script from the folder he brought and handed it to Zhu Yongteng.

Holding the flimsy script, Zhu Yongteng felt a little surprised. Just now he was hesitant to explain working hours to the other party in advance, but now it seems that there is no need at all.

Because the script he held in his hand was only three pages, he felt it was redundant to shoot a scene of this level for five days let alone ten days.

"Director Lin, are you sure you are not kidding me?"

"I am very serious, and this kind of commercial cooperation should not be a joke."

"So what's going on with these three pages of script? Just this script, do you still need me to spend ten days on it?"

"Ha!" Lin Shu smiled and touched his nose. He didn't expect that there are still people these days who dislike him for making money too easily.

"Teacher Zhu, ten days is just a generous guarantee. If you can finish filming your scene in one day, then you can also earn 500,000 yuan in one day. The remuneration I pay is based on the scene and the position, and I personally

Overtime work is not encouraged!"

Zhu Yongteng didn't ask any more questions. He silently opened the script in his hand. He read the three pages in just two minutes.

"Three pages of script, two scenes! In this kind of scene, do you think I'm the third male lead?"

Lin Shu nodded affirmatively. In the original Sherlock, Mycroft was really the third male lead. Since Lin Shu was familiar with the original play, all he needed to do was to reproduce the characters, plot, and scenes one-to-one.

This result can avoid a lot of unnecessary waste and greatly shorten the entire film production cycle.

To put it bluntly, this is an open-book exam with a long-awaited answer. In this case, not to mention that Lin Shu’s predecessor has four years of experience in directing courses, even if it is directed by a writer, he can probably reproduce it with a score of 70-80%.

After Zhu Yongteng got a reply from Lin Shu, he actually seemed a little hesitant. He has filmed many movies, and most of them were more original films and less edited films. Now the script of the original film is only three pages, so when the time comes

Can he still show his face in the finished film?

"Well, can I ask what the total investment for this movie is? And if I sign the contract, how should the salary be paid?"

"The total investment is 1,000W, and the remuneration will be divided into three parts. 30% will be paid within three working days after signing the contract, another 30% will be paid after joining the group, and the remaining 40% will be paid after the individual scenes are completed."

The payment of film remuneration is quite regular, and the cost of 10 million W is not bad. You must know that in today's movies, investing 50 million W is already a large-scale production, and hundreds of millions is the level of cooperation with international superstars.

Zhu Yongteng thought for a while, and finally chose to agree, "Since Director Lin sincerely invites me, I will take this role!" Make money, and business is not shabby!

"Teacher Zhu, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

After handling the biggest actor, Lin Shu finally had a smile on his face. He shook hands with Zhu Yongteng and personally sent him out of the reception room.

In the following time, Lin Shu conducted auditions for other roles. Among them, the role of Officer Leis was played by Lei Jiayin, a grade 02 acting student from the Shanghai Theater Academy.

The other party is currently a little transparent, and it's good to have a role to play. He has no right to choose the roles. So Lin Shu only spent 50,000 yuan in salary to finalize the role with him.

Lin Shu has been thinking about the choice of the landlady Mrs. Hudson for a long time, because the entire drama will be Chineseized, and the filming location will be changed from London to Shanghai. Then Mrs. Hudson will also look like an old lady in Shanghai.

, it’s hard to find actresses who are older and have good temperament.

Originally, Lin Shu considered teacher Xi Meijuan to star, but the audition invitation sent out was rejected. Fortunately, after Lin Shu received Zhong Weiguo's reply, he immediately launched an alternative plan and contacted teacher Wu Yanshu.

This actress is also a veritable veteran. She is 70 years old this year and is still strong. In her previous life, teacher Wu Yanshu left an impression on Lin Shu from the TV series Golden Years, in which she played the heroine Jiang Nansun’s grandmother.

.

The other party's performance skills were without trace, and he completely captured the temperament of an old lady from Shanghai.

Considering that Wu Yanshu's personal image was more suitable for the role of Mrs. Hudson, Lin Shu tentatively asked Zhong Weiguo to send an audition invitation. After all, the other party had retired for several years. Fortunately, Wu Yanshu agreed directly after receiving the invitation.

.

Out of respect, Lin Shu only told Wu Yanshu about Mrs. Hudson's identity and behavioral characteristics during the audition. After a smooth communication, the role of Mrs. Hudson was finalized.

The only main character left is the taxi driver. This character is characterized by being strong on the outside but hard on the inside. He is very unpredictable on the outside but weak on the inside. This is because he was controlled by Moriarty in the original work and was interrogated by Sherlock before he died.

It can be seen that he is not as smart as a mastermind behind the scenes.

Such a role has the highest requirements for acting skills except for the protagonist Sherlock, and Lin Shu also put the selected actors at the end of the audition.

When the time came 5 minutes before the appointment, there was a knock on the door of the reception room.

"Is this the audition location for A Study in Scarlet? I'm the actor here to audition, Zhang Songwen."

"Come in!"

When the door was pushed open from the outer door, Lin Shu saw the familiar face behind the door. He and Zhang Songwen had known each other for a long time in their previous life. They both had a high passion for acting, but they were both limited by their appearance.

Depressed and frustrated.

Similar experiences made the two of them good friends. Before Lin Shu traveled through time, he happened to witness Zhang Songwen becoming famous because of the TV series. There were many difficulties along the way, but with his help in this life, Zhang Songwen should become famous.

It's faster.

"Hello, teacher! My name is Zhang Songwen. I graduated from Beijing Film Academy. I have participated in several TV series and established my own acting studio."

Zhang Songwen seemed a little embarrassed. This was probably the worst time for him to be rejected. According to what he said, he was rejected 180 times in a year, and he was able to survive solely because of the love in his heart.<

"I am director Lin Shu, and I am also in charge of this audition. When I sent you the audition invitation, I should have introduced the character. Let's talk about your views on the character!"

It was the first time the two met. If Lin Shu seemed too enthusiastic, it would make people uncomfortable. After hearing Lin Shu's question, Zhang Songwen seemed to find confidence in an instant and began to talk about his understanding of the character.

"I think this character, as a taxi driver, must be someone that no one cares about. But he took advantage of his identity to kill four people in a row. I think he should be manipulated, because he himself was not

There is no motive."

When Lin Shu asked Zhong Weiguo to contact the actor, he simply explained the character information. Zhang Songwen was able to deduce the existence of the manipulator behind the scenes based on only some information, which shows that he really put in the effort.

Lin Shu pulled out a driver's script and handed it to Zhang Songwen without reading the content. "Follow the lines here and write a paragraph. You have 5 minutes to prepare!"

Zhang Songwen, who has experienced many rejections, understood that he had entered the real audition stage. He knew how precious every opportunity was, and he carefully looked at the script in his hand for these five minutes.

When Lin Shu prompted him to start performing, Zhang Songwen's eyes changed instantly.

There was a certain amount of pride, a certain amount of caution and a certain amount of madness in his eyes, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth declared that he was satisfied with his actions.

"I didn't kill those four people. I just said a few words to them and they took poison themselves. If you call the police now, then I can promise you one thing. I will never tell you that I

What did you say to those four people!"
