This director is so innocent.

Chapter 67: Casting for "Sheep Without a Shepherd"

Su Jin pulled up the footage she had just filmed and showed it to Ning Hao.

Two or three minutes later, Ning Hao finished reading, his expression somewhat complicated.

He truly hadn't expected that Su Jin, who was directing the camera for the first time, would be so skilled; both the composition and the use of the lens were excellent.

It's fair to say that their skills are on par with those of seasoned directors; no wonder Zhang Guoli and his group didn't cause any trouble.

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a little jealous of Su Jin.

This bastard is not only handsome, but he also writes such good books and can even write screenplays. Now he's a pretty good director too.

Is there anything he can't do?

Is Su Jin an all-around genius?

After watching the movie, Huang Bo, who was standing next to him, was somewhat impressed by Su Jin. When he first heard that Su Jin was going to make a movie, he just thought she was rich and willful.

Although I don't completely look down on them, I do have that feeling.

But after watching the clip, he felt like a frog in a well, only seeing the sky from the bottom of the well.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? I'm not gay," Su Jin said, feigning disgust.

"Get out." x2.

"Old Ning, have you been free these past few days?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"Could you film for me for a week?"

"Why? Where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm still filming. It's almost the end of the year! The villagers who work outside will be coming back soon, and the film crew is still occupying their houses!"

"I see!" Ning Hao thought for a moment and said, "I can only help you film for a week; I have other things to do after that."

"What's up?" Su Jin nodded, feeling that a week would be fine, but what else did Ning Hao have besides preparing for "Sheep Without a Shepherd"?

Could it be that he's gone to make easy money again by filming music videos for others?

"The casting and storyboarding for 'Sheep Without a Shepherd' are still underway! I also wrote a script for Third Master to read before, and it's still being revised."

"Have you finalized the casting for 'Sheep Without a Shepherd'? Who did you choose?"

"It's not settled yet; we've only made a few actors as backup options."

Who is it? Tell us.

"I haven't decided on the male lead yet, but I've decided on the female lead and the villainous bureau chief. I plan to find Chen Hong for the female lead..."

"Chen Hong? You really dare to dream! Aren't you afraid that Xiao Daren will kill you?"

"This is just a backup option."

"hehe……"

"Do you still want to know?"

"explain."

"Besides Chen Hong, I also really like another actress, her name is Yong Mei. I think she's good, and very suitable for this kind of virtuous wife and loving mother. Jiang Shan is also good."

Su Jin thought about it seriously and felt that Yongmei was good. She didn't have much of an impression of Jiang Shan, but she seemed to have dated Wang Zhiwen for a while.

"I think Yongmei is quite good. You can let her give it a try. Director, how many have you chosen?"

"There's only one. Her name is Chen Cong. She's not very famous. You probably don't know her."

"Brother, I'm an industry insider, okay? How could I not know Chen Cong?" Su Jin said speechlessly.

She played the police chief in the Chinese version of "Sheep Without a Shepherd," and she was also the female lead, Wanrong, in "The Last Emperor."

This woman is really amazing, terrifyingly strong.

She won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director on her first directorial debut, and has won two Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress, the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, and is a lifetime member of the Academy Awards. She has also served as a jury member at the Berlin International Film Festival.

However, she was only well-known within the industry. Before "Sheep Without a Shepherd," people outside the industry were familiar with her face, but few remembered her name.

By the way, the film for which Chen Cong won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director is called "Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl," the same film that helped the 17-year-old Prince Pingxi win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

Prince Pingxi even made an artistic sacrifice for this cause.

It's not the kind of art you're thinking of; it's real art.

Also, the actors Ning Hao chose are really good, unlike the ones he's seen chosen for leading roles in other Chinese entertainment companies.

That's absolutely outrageous.

The director uses Zeng Li, who is in her twenties, and the female lead, Tangtang, is also in her twenties. The male lead, Li Weijie, personally takes on the role.

Seriously, isn't this outrageous?

It's ridiculous. Putting aside whether they can handle the roles, their ages are simply unsuitable.

The male and female leads and the bureau chief are all middle-aged people in their forties. With the passage of time on their minds, they couldn't possibly choose someone in their twenties.

He felt that none of the four actresses and two actresses were quite suitable.

……

After discussing the casting for "Sheep Without a Shepherd," Su Jin thought about the script Ning Hao had mentioned giving to Zuo Shandiao (a notorious bandit leader), and feeling curious, she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of script did you show Third Master?"

"The movie is called 'Silver Medal Driver,' and it tells the story of a race car driver," Ning Hao replied.

Silver medalist?

The story of a race car driver?

Su Jin thought for a while before realizing that this was none other than "Crazy Racer".

But how come he remembers "Crazy Racer" being released in early 09? How come there's a script for it now? That's a two-year gap!

Forget it, why think so much!

As long as it's confirmed that "Silver Medal Driver" is "Crazy Racer," then investing in the film is a must. This is the movie that will propel Huayu's top tool into the 100 million yuan director club.

Su Jin took out a He Tianxia cigarette and gave one to each of Ning Hao and Huang Bo, laughing, "Old Ning, tell me honestly, how have I treated you?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Have you done the cost accounting for this 'Silver Medal Driver' project?"

"Want to invest?"

"Um."

"Cough cough... I'm suddenly a little thirsty."

"Zhixi, get a bottle of mineral water for our Director Ning," Su Jin called out to Chen Zhixi.

Ning Hao was dumbfounded. Could this really be done?

A moment later, Chen Zhixi brought over a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao took the water, took a sip, stretched his shoulders, and said, "My shoulders are a little sore."

"Zhixi..."

"Alright, stop bothering Zhixi," Ning Hao said irritably.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixi was a little confused, wondering what Su Jin was up to!

"I've already calculated the cost, and it will be around 1500 million."

"It's alright, not too high. How about I bet half?"

"I'm afraid that won't work. Third Master's side will probably take half, and Dama Benteng will definitely invest as well." Ning Hao thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll try to get you 30%, how about that?"

Su Jin nodded and said, "Aren't you going to vote yourself?"

"I have no money. I've poured all my money into this movie, so Su Jin, you have to make it well, or I'll really be eating dirt."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make sure you buy a big villa this time." After saying that, Su Jin suddenly thought of a good lead actor.

"Or, you can withdraw your own three million! I'll fill it in myself."

"No," Ning Hao replied without hesitation.

"Why? Don't you have confidence in your own movie?" Su Jin couldn't understand.

"No, that's not it. It shouldn't be difficult for my movie to make money, but I still want to invest in your movie."

Why?

"I think a director shouldn't invest in his own films, otherwise bad things will happen."

Su Jin was stunned when she heard this. Was she playing superstition with him?

"Nonsense, this is a new era, we don't follow feudal superstitions."

"I'm not voting anyway."

"Just don't regret it later."
