I really want to pounce

Chapter 40 The cast of "Dragon King, the Son-in-law of the City" starts

On Saturday, October 3, the weather was fine.

Today, the filming of "The Dragon King" is officially confirmed, exclusively produced by Penguin Video, and directed by Wei Fan as the chief producer.

The original author Pu Dingleo served as the chief screenwriter, and Wang Jin and Zhang Wei served as assistant screenwriters.

The shooting cost is 500 million yuan.

This was the result of Wei Fan taking the script to Penguin Film and Television to discuss the project. Penguin was optimistic about the project, invested 100 million, and took away 10% of the dividend rights.

That is to say, after this film is published on Penguin Video, in addition to the fixed share, 10% of the total proceeds will go into Penguin's pocket.

This result is very good.

With someone sharing the risk, Wei Fan can feel a little more at ease.

Moreover, the production cost has increased by 100 million, which may be insignificant for a big movie. Just add some special effects and put it in. It will be used for publicity and distribution, and the hot searches on Weibo will disappear after a few days of buying.

But for a series produced at a small cost, it can already be a lot more generous.

Wei Fan brought the assistant director, production team, make-up team and photography team to Beiyi.

Stay at the Beiyi School Guest House with great fanfare.

Now, the students of Beiyi University all know that there is a serious production team produced by Penguin Films and Television, who is going to shoot the TV series adaptation of the same name of "The Dragon King of the City", and the actors are selected in the school.

The crew is preparing to use newcomers, and the director is still a senior at Beiyi.

In an instant, the students of the acting department were all blown away!
Many students are eyeing this opportunity. It doesn't matter whether they make money or not, the main thing is to have a role.

Seniority!

Actors with performance experience will find it easier to find a crew after graduation.

And if this show becomes popular, it will be a well-known actor who has appeared in a certain popular TV series.

The student days were so shining, how can I pay off when I go out?

Of course, this is the fantasy of many acting students
Most of them may only play a small role, have a few lines, and die after appearing in one episode.

There are only a few male protagonists, female protagonists, and male and female supporting roles. If there are more unspoken rules to determine a few, there will not be many left for them to run for election.

and many more!

Unspoken rules?
Male director?
Male screenwriter?
In the prime of life, the girls with different looks have some thoughts.
Who is going to find out which room the director and screenwriter live in?
In the female dormitory 520, Zhu Yinyin listened to everyone's discussion, her eyes sparkled with crystal light.

She had known the news a long time ago, and even connected with the author of the original work. At least when casting roles, her starting point was already much higher than others.

The original author's face can at least make her pass the first round of auditions.

Moreover, she has already studied the two main female characters in the book "The Dragon King of the Urban Son-in-Law", and has done enough homework.

In terms of acting, she believed that she would be able to overwhelm others!
Now that the crew has arrived, it's time for her to act.

Open WeChat and find Pu Jie.
That night.

The dean of the acting department, the dean of the directing department and the deputy principal in charge of the school received this outstanding alumnus together.

What is a Distinguished Alumni?

Those who can donate to the school, those who provide employment places, and those who are famous are all.

Wei Fan wanted Pu Jie to come to this dinner together, so that he could show his face in front of these school leaders, so that he could help him with anything in the future.

Was rejected by Pu Jie.

It's not social fear, but he has an appointment tonight.

After typing the words early, Pu Jie put on the new coat he bought for himself during the Chinese New Year.

Glancing at the message on the phone, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he went out.

520 in the female dormitory.

Zhu Yinyin held her mobile phone, her expression clouded.

Seeing Jiang Yuhan putting on makeup with a happy face, I felt a bad premonition
"Yuhan, are we going to have dinner together tonight?"

"No sound, I'm going to have steak with my friends tonight"

"Oh? Which friend? I don't know him. He can't be a boyfriend, right?"

Jiang Yuhan's face turned red.

"That's not it, not yet. They're just ordinary friends"

Not the kind of ordinary friend who takes the head spinner, right?

"Ao, why don't you take me with you? I'll help you as a staff officer. I just want to eat steak too."

A look of hesitation appeared on Jiang Yuhan's face, and then he said: "It's not bad, I didn't tell anyone either."

"It's nothing bad, we sisters will eat with him together, it's cheaper for him, let's go~"

Zhu Yinyin had already packed up her makeup before, and began to pull Jiang Yuhan along.

Jiang Yuhan was originally a soft-hearted person and didn't know how to refuse.

"Well then, don't talk nonsense, we are really just ordinary friends"

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and with her blushing face, who would believe that she was just an ordinary friend?
Zhu Yinyin didn't believe it anyway.

The two went out with their mobile phones arm in arm.

Under the bright light of Zhu Yinyin's phone screen, the WeChat chat box was revealed.

[Zhu Yinyin: Are you free tonight?Want to watch a movie together? 】

【Pu Jie: Uh. I have an appointment tonight, sorry】

[Zhu Yinyin: Did you have dinner with the crew?I can wait for you to leave before finding you]

[Pu Jie: No need, I don’t have time today, let’s talk about it another day]

【Zhu Yinyin: Alright.】

At the school hostel, Pu Jie came to meet with Wei Fan. The main reason was that the actor audition would start tomorrow, and the two decided on some matters.

The leading actor, Wei Fan, has already been arranged, Guan Yunpeng.

Is a little famous actor.

This is his first starring role in a film.

Wei Fan showed Pu Jie a look at his photo with makeup.

Strong, handsome, with sharp eyes and crooked mouth!

Although I don't know why a photo can show sharpness, Pu Jie sees sharpness and unrestrainedness in his eyes.

"How is it? Do you look like a Dragon King?"

"Yes, yes, this crooked mouth is definitely there! It's too dragon king!"

Pu Jie felt that the image of the Dragon King was exactly the same as the one in the book, so he just put a photo there, and with a crooked mouth, he was the Dragon King!
"Come on, look at this again"

It was another photo, the same man from before, wearing ordinary clothes, smiling while looking at the front.

Thin, sunny, honest.

There was a big contrast with just now, the sharpness in his eyes disappeared, and he became an ordinary and honest person.

At first glance, it looks like a new employee in the office, the kind who can be bullied by anyone.

"This!"

Wei Fan smiled and said, "Not bad, right? This is a photo of the Dragon King's daily life, the one above is an explosion photo, and the two forms can be switched at will. When I first read your novel, I thought of him!"

"This actor is very good. He is really honest when he plays cowardly, and he is domineering when he plays Dragon King. He was born for this drama. What do you think of him playing Long Aotian?"

Pu Jie also had to admire Wei Fan's casting ability, and his confidence in this drama increased a bit.

Combined with his novel background + gold medal screenwriter Wang Xiang's first draft + two professional gunners' adaptations + Wei Fan's script control, it is definitely something to do.

"That's it! It's him! I can't watch the Dragon King without him"

"Hahaha!"

The two reached a consensus on the male lead.

Wei Fan whispered again: "The acting is not bad, and it's not expensive."

Pu Jie gave a thumbs up, which made the director understand.

"The heroine and supporting actress."

Wei Fan patted his chest: "Heroine Xiao Tong audition, supporting actress Lin Jiayao, do you have any recommendations for candidates, I can bring you an audition tomorrow, as long as the image and temperament are compatible with the role, I will definitely respect your opinion."

This is already stated.

Just send your unspoken actress here for a formality.

Everyone is mixed in this line of work, and they understand everything.

"Is there an audition for the heroine? Then the senior doesn't have any favorite candidates?"

Wei Fan had a serious face: "The role of the heroine runs through the whole drama. I need a newcomer to play her role and reach the level of playing with Guan Yunpeng. Only in this way can I guarantee the actor base of this drama."

Pu Jie is in awe!

This is because she doesn't bring her own actress, and her personality is much higher than that of her own screenwriter.

"The realm of seniors is still high! For this drama, I have devoted all my energy and sacrificed my personal interests."

Wei Fan waved his hand calmly.

"This is what I should have done"

Seeing Pu Jie leave with admiring eyes, Wei Fan felt a burst of pride.

There is no conflict between choosing the right actor and that.

Wouldn't it be nice to do it all?

And in the process of screening layer by layer, many female actors are thinking, they will wonder if others have talked to the director in the middle of the night, if others go, but they don't, wouldn't it be over?

We have already come here, and we are still one step away from the heroine, why not be cruel to yourself.
In this way, the actresses rolled up.

Of course, Pu Jie couldn't think of these ways.

He was humming a tune and walking to the school gate, ready to spend a romantic and sweet night.
