I'm almost a Muggle

Actually, I don’t want to put too much effort into magic or become a magician.”

Lin Dong took a cup, but when he turned his hand over, the cup disappeared.

"I understand." Zhou Longxing stared at Lin Dong's hand stupidly. He really didn't notice where the cup had gone.

But his understanding is different from Lin Dong's.

Lin Dong doesn't want to become a magician because he thinks he can often walk by the river without getting his shoes wet. He just needs to enjoy the excitement of using magic in public every now and then.

Well, as for what this feels like.

You can imagine beating...a big rabbit in front of many people.

However, Zhou Longxing and others here understood the humble status of a magician, which is equated with that of a liar.

People think that as long as they tell me to stay away, arrange special props for me, and have Toto, I can do it if they let me come.

No matter what you do, everyone will look at you like a liar.

Lin Dong took out the cup from his sleeve. When he turned his hand, the cup slipped into his sleeve.

He only used a little bit of magic power. A normal person could find a good angle and be able to do it with practice. He just wasn't as fast as Lin Dong and could do it with ease.

"Mr. Lin controls such a large company and still insists on filming, several films a year. He really loves acting." Zhou Longxing praised.

"No, no, at your age and my age, why should you call me Mr. Lin? Just call me Dongzi." Lin Dong sounded awkward. Maybe when he got to the filming site, this bad old man also called himself Mr. Lin.

That would be interesting.

Hey, Mr. Lin, you need to be more exaggerated about this.

Hey, Mr. Lin...you haven't eaten, right? Try harder!

Hey, Mr. Lin, what the hell did you do as Jill? Do it again!

I guess it was a disaster on the set. Instead of others awkwardly changing their tune, it would be better for us to take the initiative.

"Okay, I'm offended." Zhou Longxing breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition to filming, I actually want to try to create a story myself, not a character, but a story."

what does this mean?

The relatively slow ones fell into confusion.

People with online IQs have already understood that Boss Lin wants to be a director.

Lin Dong knows a truth very well.

A boss who doesn't want to be a director is not a good actor.

As the Knife Sect becomes more and more powerful, some things have to be done by oneself.

"Okay, absolutely okay!" Zhou Longxing was shocked, feeling that his relationship with Lin Dong was getting closer.

"Really?"

"Of course you can. You have acting skills and know how to act. You have a lot of works. The most important thing is that you need money and people. Even distribution is ready. You can be a director."

Alas, it's such a late meeting.

Zhou Longxing also started as an actor and gradually turned into a director.

In his opinion, if someone like Lin Dong became a director, it would be better than those guys who didn't understand anything and just wanted to discuss the script behind closed doors with actresses.

The two of them were chatting happily, and several other people looked at each other, all unhappy.

Brother, did you make a mistake?

You are a boss, and you have a fortune... well, we don't know how much you have anyway, but you are a very powerful boss. You can't always be so neglectful of your job.

We are all dedicated to helping you become the overlord of the entertainment industry.

But you also need to work a little harder, otherwise when will you become the person who makes the most money in the entertainment industry?

Lin Dong didn't know what they were thinking.

If they had known about it, they would have thrown the soup base in their faces that they wanted to drink but were too embarrassed to drink because of their status.

"If you want to be a director, casting is the most basic thing for a story, so you might as well join me in casting." Zhou Longxing made the invitation. Both of his purposes for coming here were achieved, and he was in a very good mood.

Pretty good.

He is very happy to support some new people.

Casting?

Lin Dong immediately agreed hurriedly.

Don't get me wrong.

Wipe your saliva, even if you are a casting director, you actually don’t have much power.

The truly important roles are those decided by the great director.

Even if it's an important supporting role, you can only make a suggestion.

As for those miscellaneous minor supporting characters...it seems that some of them are pretty too.

Phew, my mind is full of messy things.

Lin Dong actually wanted to experience it personally, starting from a character, and how to choose the right person to express it.

Zhou Lung-sing, who has always loved recruiting new actors for his movies, was no exception for this new film. He held a grand audition event to discover new actors who he believed had comedy potential.

Being able to cooperate with Xingye is definitely a dream for many people.

Especially those newcomers who are still unknown, Xiao Transparent.

Online registration began at the end of September, and more than 100,000 people came to participate.

At present, the selection of the top 40 has been completed and the top 12 are being selected.

Lin Dong took the title of assistant director and took Wang Kuo, who had already taken over the distribution task, to Pengcheng with Zhou Longxing.

The selection competition for Forty to Twelve was held in Pengcheng.

Several companies jointly organized it, making it really high-end.

Of course, the main thing is having money. The total investment of Xingye's movie exceeded 300 million, which can be regarded as a super big production.

In the past few years, the film market has been growing rapidly. The box office has doubled and doubled, and the corresponding production costs have also increased. It is impossible not to give some meat to those in the industry.

In the past, a production costing over 100 million was considered a top-notch production.

Now that we don’t have two to three hundred million, we are embarrassed to compare with others.

Lin Dong arrived here and was introduced to the creative staff who were in charge of selection as the male lead.

In the last Conquer the Demons Westward Journey, Lin Dong's status was relatively average. Even if he played a supporting role in Xingye's movie, he had to bring money to join the cast. This time, he directly played the male lead.

These creators are actually quite happy.

I don’t think the choice of this male lead is not good enough at all.

The assistant director is Qian Dawei.

When Master Xing is away, he is the leader here.

This guy is no unknown person.

He has a movie called "Lan Kwai Fong", which is a must-see movie for otakus.

This low-cost production, with no big stars to support the show, continues the box office myth of Hong Kong's "young movies" in those years, and the more "popular" it is, the more prosperous it is.

From the investment, filming to the star cast, the film sounds unappealing, but it is such a small-budget Hong Kong film that has a box office of over 10 million.

I heard that Qian Dawei has become the assistant director of "Mermaid", and many female artists who have worked with Qian Dawei signed up.

Judging from the list of the top forty, Brother David obviously takes care of these people's feelings.

All these Tibetans of the Poppa style were selected.

Zhou Longxing doesn't comment on this. Even if you make it into the top twelve, whether you succeed or not is all a matter of his words.

The so-called audition is indeed an election, but this is not a kind of marketing promotion that starts in advance. The Poppa Tibetans can at least help attract popularity.
