Chapter 195 Godfather, take me with you
So after chatting with Ning Hao for a while, Ning Hao also suggested that Zhou Le look for other people.

But apart from these three, the directors who have a good relationship with Zhou Le are Han Han and Dapeng.

Zhou Le first found Han Han, who was quite interested in the idea. After all, this kind of subject matter is quite rare in China.

Take "12 Angry Men" as an example, all the scenes take place in a closed space.

"Leave this subject to me. You can be the producer and we can choose the characters together. I think this subject can be developed into several more films."

Han Han was talking while Zhou Le was thinking.

"It seems like 12 Angry Men has been remade in many countries. We could also do a remake ourselves. Besides, this genre is quite suitable for escape rooms and mystery stories, just like Agatha Christie's detective novels."

"Hahaha, it seems we're on the same page. I thought so too. Besides remaking 12 Angry Men, we could even make escape rooms into a separate series. There's a lot we can learn from them."

"Okay, Director Han, then we'll do that."

Han Han thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it when the time comes. I can be the director, or I can find another director, and then we can be the producers behind the scenes."

"No problem, that's settled. We'll work on the script later, but we still have to do this as soon as possible. After all, the market is unpredictable. If someone comes up with this thing first, we'll be sacrificed."

"it is good."

In the period before filming began, Liu Weiqiang held meetings almost every day.

As a Hong Kong director who has made his mark in mainland China, Liu Weiqiang has very high demands on his actors, and everyone has to read their scripts thoroughly within a week.

In addition to the script reading, the Civil Aviation Administration also arranged for pilot and flight attendant trainers to come and train the actors.

"Zhou Le, I feel like being a flight attendant is pretty hard work. I heard they have to fly everywhere every day, and it's easy to get some occupational diseases as you get older."

"Indeed, this is a job that only lasts for a short time. In the end, they either switch to other positions or marry someone from a similar family background."

This principle is very simple. Even if Zhou Le didn't say it, Li Wei knew that the career paths for models, flight attendants, and other young people who rely on their youth to make a living are basically these.

Even many actors are following this path, such as Huang Shengyi, who was very popular at the time and married a wealthy businessman.

However, when the lawsuit between Huang Shengyi and her former employer was in full swing, Yang Yi stepped forward to help.

"However, I'm looking forward to seeing you in your airport uniform. You're going to look really handsome then."

"Of course. Look at who I am. I'm over 1.8 meters tall and with this face, it's hard not to look good."

However, after the meeting that day, Liu Weiqiang looked at the actors below and said, "Everyone, we'll need a lot of passengers on the plane after filming starts. If you have suitable people, you can recommend them. Although it's a cameo, at least there will be a chance to be on camera. As long as their appearance is acceptable, it will be fine."

But Zhang Hanyu and Yuan Quan both smiled helplessly, indicating that there were not many people on their side.

After all, both of them have been in the industry for too many years, and most of the people they know are at the same level. It would definitely not be appropriate for them to come and make a guest appearance. After all, the money for a guest appearance is limited, and they would also owe favors to others.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Weiqiang fell in love with Zhou Le.

Zhou Le is known as a socialite and succubus in the circle. Although she has only been in the industry for a short time, she has many friends.

Especially when "The Wandering Earth" was released, many people were invited to make guest appearances for Guo Fan.

As it turns out, those guest appearances also brought in a lot of traffic.

"Zhou Le, as for you, although the salary isn't much, I can pay you a similar salary based on the level of the people you can invite."

Liu Weiqiang was very confident when he said this. After all, he is a well-known director and has the investment of Bona Ali. It can be said that he has so much money that he has no place to spend it.

"Director, how many people do we need here?"

Listening to Zhou Le's words, Liu Weiqiang smiled: "About thirty or forty, and the rest can be found as extras. If you can really find this many people for me, I can give you a budget of eight million."

"Okay, Director, I'll look for them first, but do you have any requirements for the candidates? For example, in terms of appearance?" "You can find a few good-looking ones, and the rest should be more ordinary. After all, it's not good to have only handsome guys on a plane. The age range can also be wider. In short, find as many as you can. Give me the list within two or three days, and I'll arrange the rest."

For veteran actors like Zhang Hanyu and Yuan Quan, this kind of thing is a favor they owe, but for Zhou Le, it is a favor he can do.

After the meeting, Zhou Lexian posted something in his company’s internal group.

As a result, everyone signed up.

The quota for beautiful female passengers was immediately filled.

Then Zhou Le asked Mao Buyi again.

After learning that it wouldn't take too long to make the guest appearance, Mao Buyi thought about it and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Le contacted his two rap buddies, Wang Yitai.

"Brother, there's another movie that needs a cameo. It's about passengers on a plane, about an air crash. Are you interested in showing up? I'll pay you a fee. It's not much, but the main scenes are right here, so I'm sure you'll have more shots than before."

"Brother Le, is that true? If you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore. When will we shoot? Then I can turn down all my other work."

"Let's wait a while. I'll confirm with the director. Once the schedule is confirmed, I'll send you the time. But you can also bring your girlfriend along, and you two can play a couple."

"Okay, okay, Brother Le, I owe you another favor for this."

"It doesn't matter if it's human or not. The main thing is that since I've encountered this kind of thing, I must think of my brothers first."

"Thank you so much, seriously. Please let me know when you come back to Chengdu so I can make the best arrangements."

"No problem. The main filming locations for this drama are Wuxi and Chengdu. I'll definitely come find you later."

“Make sure the arrangements are in place.”

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Le contacted Ai'er again, and he naturally agreed immediately.

Since their guest appearances in "The Wandering Earth" and "Hello, Teacher", their fame has increased a lot, and the prices of some commercial performances have been raised.

"You can also bring two or three brothers from Xinjiang Province with you when the time comes, but be careful not to be too handsome. You can be a little more unique."

"I understand, Brother Le. I must make arrangements for you later."

"Haha, two meals have already been arranged, but we'll talk about this later."

We have almost found all the famous ones now, and we still need to find a few more simple ones.

"Manager Wu, are you free recently?"

Supervisor Wu’s name is Wu Yun, and he was Zhou Le’s immediate superior when he worked part-time at the design studio.

"Lately, I've been pretty busy with work."

"Oh, I see. I was thinking that the crew of the movie I'm filming here needs someone of your age to play a small supporting role."

Wu Yun heard: "What? Filming? Then I have time, too much time, anytime, I will go even if I have to take leave."

"Okay, Manager Wu. I'll send you the time later. But you'll also need to prepare a rough resume, with a photo included."

"no problem."

Finally, Zhou Le contacted his three former roommates.

After hearing this, the three of them shouted, "Godfather, please take me with you."
