I'm almost a Muggle

People sitting around the table all looked at Zhou Longxing.

Pay homage!

Let me just say that we grew up watching Xing Ye's works, and no one else except Wang Kuo feels ashamed.

In fact, when Wang Kuo entered the publishing circle, Zhou Longxing became the subject he had to study, but he had never sat at a table to study it like this.

"I happened to be passing by this time, so I came to visit an old friend." Zhou Longxing paused for a moment, finally retaining his previous straight-forward habit, and added, "By the way, let's talk about the distribution of the next movie.

"

"Release?" Several people on Lin Dong's side looked at each other.

Various possibilities have been speculated, but no one has ever thought that it was to discuss distribution.

"Yes, I would like to invite Kleist's distribution department to participate in film distribution and joint distribution."

With this said, everyone can finally accept it.

Zhou Lunxing's new movie "Mermaid" is a project co-produced by as many as nine companies, and many of these nine companies have distribution capabilities, including Huaying, the king of Chinese film distribution.

In view of the wonderful cooperation process with Kleist on the previous project "I Dare to Ask Where the Road Is", people from China Film Academy recommended Kleist to Zhou Longxing.

"There is no need for Mr. Xing to come to the door in person, just ask Uncle Kuo. He is fully responsible for our issuing unit."

Of course Lin Dong couldn't refuse this small favor.

Even if this small favor will make Kleist's publishing department a small profit.

"One more thing is about the starring role. This drama of mine has relatively high requirements for the male lead's acting skills. It is impossible to audition like the heroine, so I want to ask if you have any other schedules recently?"

When Zhou Lingxing is filming, the main role must be focused on the project and cannot take on too many tasks.

"I don't have a schedule, but you ask me to take the lead?" Lin Dong had long heard that Zhou Longxing was paranoid and harsh in making movies. He really couldn't figure out what attracted people to him.

"I looked for several people, but they all rejected them for various reasons. Meng Chao recommended you to me. I thought about it carefully and found that you are really a good fit."

Zhou Longxing obviously didn't do it on the spur of the moment.

He really puts a lot of effort into casting, especially in the works of recent years. He no longer appears in the roles. He always feels that no one can trust him and has to choose the most suitable one.

Where does Lin Dong fit in?

The first is that he can act in comedy. He became a very good comedian in the last movie "Journey to the West".

Secondly, his image is very good and his appearance is online.

And there is no need to worry about temperament. She is a boss, so playing the role of a boss is perfect.

What attracted Zhou Longxing the most was Lin Dong's acting skills.

He really couldn't think of many actors of his age who could have Lin Dong's acting skills, as well as Lin Dong's popularity and good looks.

After many of his favorites declined, Lin Dong turned out to be one of the few choices he had.

"I'll think about it. Come on, let's eat first." Lin Dong did not agree immediately.

In fact, it is not that unusual to refuse Zhou Longxing's invitation to be the male lead. Lin Dong can imagine the reasons for those who refuse.

high pressure!

There is no doubt that if Xu Kai is a tyrant on the set, then Zhou Longxing is definitely a beast on the set.

It's no exaggeration to say that.

The difference between him and Xu Guai is that Xu Guai can keep filming and life very separate, while Zhou Longxing often brings the emotions on the set into life, so he seems particularly surly and ruthless.

Although the system was very reluctant, it still quickly transferred "Merman" to his mind without Lin Dong's intervention.

It's actually Meng Chao!

Only then did Lin Dong realize whose role he had "stole".

But why would he recommend him?

Maybe it's because of the pressure, and I really don't want to work with Zhou Lonxing in filming.

In fact, Lin Dong only guessed one-third of the answers correctly.

The other third is because Meng Chao has a tight schedule and doesn't want to take time out. Moreover, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Wouldn't it be nice to be at home with his wife and children?

The eldest child in the family is a boy, so just let him be free.

The second child is a daughter, oh my, she is so cute. I feel bad if I don’t see her for a day. Who would be willing to be separated from their daughter for so long and then go to fight with Zhou Longxing.

Then there is a third, which probably means some repayment of gratitude.

After the studio was affiliated with Kleist, he got a perfect shot of "Sunspot", so he wanted to repay Lin Dong.

If Lin Dong catches his eye, can he invest in a movie he plans to make with his wife?

Lin Dong played the movie at twice the speed.

He quickly learned about every aspect of the drama. Of course, the version the system gave him was the release cut, which must be very different from the first version and the director's cut.

It's just that he can at least assess the difficulty of this movie.

Quite challenging.

However, I really can’t say how difficult it is.

The heroine is a bit average.

Can you change it to another one? This one looks too silly.

Of course, this is a new face, but from a newcomer's perspective, his performance is still remarkable.

When everyone had finished afternoon tea with Lin Dong, they finally waited for Lin Dong's reply.

It's okay to publish it.

Just talk to Wang Kuo later about the specific distribution remuneration. This is not the first time we have cooperated with Huaying.

Starring is okay too.

Lin Dong agreed to play the male lead in the film.

Star Master is getting older and older, and his energy is not as good as before. He really has fewer films to film.

Maybe one day he will turn into a lousy old man who works part-time under the guise of making money and doesn't care about the quality of his movies.

Therefore, in this life, I can work with Mr. Xing in another film.

Even if there will be some unpleasantness later, just bear with it.

"However, I may have a small problem with my schedule, that is, I will perform on stage at the Spring Festival Gala at the end of the year, so I may occasionally have to cooperate with the arrangements there." Lin Dong did not forget to mention this upfront to avoid it becoming a flashpoint for conflicts in the future.

"Oh, this is a good thing. Why are you going up there to perform?" Zhou Longxing said it was no problem at all.

"Perform a little trick, a little magic." Lin Dong was very humble.

"Magic..." Zhou Longxing's eyes lit up, feeling that this could be marketed.

To be able to become a box-office legend in Hong Kong, he is certainly not someone who just immerses himself in filming. He is also a good hand at marketing...
