Brother Dao’s two younger brothers, as well as the actors of Xie Xiaomeng, Huang Bo, Yue Xiaojun and Peng Bo, are now all newcomers with only one or two works, and it is not difficult to invite them at all. When Lei Ting called, she even heard excited roars.

Somewhat a little troublesome is the actors who play Feng Dong, Xu Zheng, and Lian Jin, who plays Mike. These two are now first-line actors who are active on the screen. They have both film appointments. After reading the script, they have not given a reply yet. They need to prepare for both of them.

During the stage of selecting actors, Li Xiaole had two most troublesome roles, including the male lead Bao Shihong, and the beautiful Jingjing, who has few shots but is extremely important.

These two characters are not that Li Xiaole can't invite them now, but that he feels a little dissatisfied with the original Guo Tao and Hou Shu.

This is his feeling that the two shortest wooden boards in "Crazy Stone". Guo Tao performed quite well, but he was almost completely overwhelmed by a number of supporting roles with personality. As the male lead, he felt a little unable to suppress the situation. This is also the most important reason why "Crazy Stone" was considered by many people in the future to be a breath away from a classic work.

Brother Dao’s girlfriend Jingjing is the only female character used as embellishment in the man’s drama "Crazy Stone", just like the cherry on the cake. Although it is very small, it is a key point to increase the width of the story of the whole drama. This special character is like Fan Binbing, who only showed one side in "Lost in Thailand", sublimating the entire story width to another level.

In the original version, Hou Shu was just a slightly charming actress, and she was not very amazing at all.

In the original version, Ning Hao made an obvious mistake. In the script, he wrote that Jingjing is the woman of the big brother of society, "Brother Dao", so when he looked for Jingjing's actor, he chose a woman with a gorgeous appearance like Hou Shu.

This is a typical inherent form error, symbolizing the character. Why does the big brother of society have to be a fair woman? Although this is natural, it completely covers up the glory of the character and makes the character easily overlooked in the movie.

In Zhou Xingxing's "The King of Comedy", the heroine Liu Piaopiao is also a stage lady in a dance hall, but he chose Zhang Bozhi, who looked very pure at the time. Although she was dressed beautifully and looked very full, her eyes were extremely clear, and Liu Piaopiao's image suddenly became plump.

So Li Xiaole also wanted to find her own Zhang Bozhi, a beautiful actress who can let the audience see her calmly admire in a crazy fast-paced plot.

A middle-aged actor with explosive power, ordinary appearance, and a 30-year-old actor of the middle-aged and 40-year-old actor, and a beautiful woman with a brilliant appearance but a clear temperament in her heart...

He could think of a male lead with an ordinary appearance at the level of the actor, Jiang Wen, Fu Biao, Zhang Fengyi... But obviously, he couldn't invite any of these big names...

As for the beautiful beauty who looks bright but has a clear temperament, Shu Qi is very suitable, and Zhang Bozhi is also good, but Jingjing's role is too small and can only be regarded as a guest role. She has no one in the Chinese film and television industry yet, but she is not like Xu Zheng. She can invite Fan Binbing to make a free guest appearance with just a letter.

How about Huang Shengyi? She is in line with it, but she seems to be in 1983, and she should be only 19 years old this year... she is a little tender, so she can only be a candidate...

After Li Xiaole had no choice but to put the two characters aside, organize the script first, and then report it to the review department of China Film Group to apply for filming.

After getting everything organized in the office, Xiao Wang asked him to get the China Film Standard Film Application Form, fill it out in duplicate according to the format, and then append the script to it.

"Director Li, how much do you need to fill in your budget? Should you want a sole proprietorship in the group or financing?" Xiao Wang asked Li Xiaole curiously. He didn't expect that Director Li was so efficient. He started to develop a project in less than half a month after he came.

"Apply for a sole proprietorship in the group, you can invest 500 yuan." Li Xiaole mentioned the investment amount he applied for. He has repeatedly considered this number. First of all, China Film has not invested more than 6 million in history for unfamous directors. Not to mention that Han Sanpin himself most wanted to make the red movie "Kong Fansen" and only invested 5 million. Even if Feng Xiaogang added Ge You, he applied for the filming of "Party A and Party B" that year, he only had 6 million.

The original version of "Crazy Stone" costs 3 million yuan, using a digital camera. If he uses a film machine and upgrades in various aspects, 5 million yuan is a must, not too much.

"Apply for 5 million?" Xiao Wang seemed a little surprised, and there was a look of wanting to speak but stopping on his face, but in the end he didn't say much.

After submitting the application, Li Xiaole lies leisurely on his mahogany chair, closes his eyes and accumulates his energy. Shooting is something that needs to be experienced. Li Xiaole is used to emptying his head for a while before he starts, and falls asleep sweetly without realizing it.

In his dream, he dreamed of sitting in the old cinema next to his middle school, looking at the big screen with a group of childhood companions, smiling and shouting, forgetting what troubles and sorrows are. After the movie was over, his name appeared on the screen. The familiar companions looked at him in surprise, and the audience stood up and applauded him... It felt so wonderful.

***

After a few days of discussing actors with Ning Hao and carrying out various organizational work, a sudden call stopped the two of them. It was Han Sanpin's secretary who called them.

"Director Li? Come to Mr. Han's office with Ning Hao now. Mr. Han has important things to talk to you."

Li Xiaole quickly pulled Ning Hao, who was fiddling with the copywriting, and went to the chairman's office together. Along the way, both of them had an unknown premonition because Han Sanpin asked his secretary to call him, not himself, and this was definitely not a good thing.

"Director Li, isn't something big happening?" Ning Hao asked with a drooping head, feeling very confused.

"What big thing can happen?" Li Xiaole looked calm and smiled: "The last time the big thing happened in Beijing Film Academy was that the US Secretary of State Albrey was famous for meeting director Chen Kaige. Do you think this big thing is our turn?"

"If this is true, our Mr. Han will be depressed again." Ning Hao was amused by Li Xiaole's joke. The incident of Albright meeting Chen Kaige was widely circulated in the circle. When Albright came, the security gate was set at the gate of Beijing Film Academy. The factory was covered with bodyguards wearing pocket headphones. Those who entered and exited strictly investigated. Because they did not know Han Sanpin, who was still the director of Beijing Film Academy at the time, the black bodyguard almost knocked President Han out.

Li Xiaole and Ning Hao walked into the chairman's office swayingly. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the factory director and secretary and several leaders sitting on the sofa, each with solemn expressions. When they saw them, they could only smile. Li Xiaole recognized the man with a chest, back, waist and a deep face, which was Yan Fusheng, who he met in the hospital, and the current director of the "China Film No. 1 Studio".

He could clearly feel that the people in the office were divided into two sides, headed by Yan Fusheng on one side, while Han Sanpin seemed to be alone and sat alone on the other side. It could be seen that these were two different forces in the newly established China Film Group.

Han Sanpin stood up and welcomed Li Xiaole and Ning Hao to the two single sofas in the middle, and said with concern: "Thank you for your hard work, you sit in the middle."

This made Ning Hao a little flattered, but Li Xiaole instinctively frowned. His eyes turned to Yan Fusheng and the people. They looked at me, and I looked at you, holding a piece of paper in their hands and spreading around.

Han Sanpin coughed dryly, stepped forward and grabbed the piece of paper, looked at Yan Fusheng and said:

"I'll read it. This is an urgent document sent by the Film Bureau this morning. The revisions to the script "Crazy Stone" are as follows

Your group script "Crazy Stone" has been received.

As a popular media for communication, the film plays a broad and profound guiding role in the norms of social values. The script relishes bloody violence and provokes women, and repeatedly chews on the unfair emotions of social bad warmth, exposing ugliness without criticizing ugliness, which has values ​​that violate the universally recognized moral standards of society, and mistakenly guides the public's aesthetic taste...

To this end, it is recommended that China Film Company choose another shooting topic or make fundamental rewriting, otherwise it will be difficult for the Film Bureau to pass even if the setting is completed.

For the above opinions, please ask China Film Group to work with relevant creative staff to carefully study the spirit of the "Changsha Conference" and correct its creative ideas."

After Han Sanpin finished reading, Yan Fusheng gently put down the teacup in his hand. The people around him finally spoke out, and they criticized them with sarcastic words:

"Director Xiao Li, I know you just came to China Film Academy, but you can't be too impatient. You use this vulgar script to hand us over to the Film Bureau for review. Isn't this stomping on our faces?"

"You must reflect carefully and reflect deeply. You must learn from this lesson. President Han promoted you in an extraordinary manner. You must also be worthy of the position of producer director."

Ning Hao heard these words blankly, and a sense of evil fire that had been holding them up for a long time came up. He blushed and said, "Where is the bloody and violent book in our notebook? Where is there any relish for provoking women...Oh~~" Ning Hao yelled halfway, and felt that his wrist was pinched, so painful that he couldn't breathe. When he turned around, he saw that it was Li Xiaole beside him.
Chapter completed!
