"Zhou He is here, he has already applied for employment, and he is probably still making posters for Dong Xuemei and the others right now!"

Li Pu said subconsciously.

"Alright then, let him come with you tomorrow, and let him try filming!"

Chen Donglai exhorted.

"Okay, Zhou He must be very excited to hear the news!"

Li Pu responded, then remembered something, and asked, "I happen to celebrate Ke Ke's birthday early tonight, do you want to come over for dinner together?"

"No, I won't be a light bulb anymore. I'll talk to Director Zhou about filming later. When the crew is formed, we'll have a dinner together!"

Chen Donglai refused.

Regarding the tea girl, he didn't have enough evidence yet, and he happened to have a bunch of unfinished business at hand.

It's not a good time to meddle in the past.

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

Li Pu responded and was about to leave.

Chen Donglai hesitated for a while, but still said: "Be careful not to get too deep, and focus on career!"

"Understood Brother Chen, I have a sense of proportion!"

Li Pu responded, then waved his hand and turned away.

Looking at the back of Li Pu leaving, Chen Donglai hesitated to speak.

Obviously, Li Pu didn't understand the deep meaning behind what he said just now.

This is probably everyone's life.

Chen Donglai sighed, then turned and went to the office.

However, as soon as he went back on the front foot, Zhou Mingru pushed the door on the back foot and came in.

"Mr. Chen, I just thought about it. The key roles in a movie must not be randomly recruited by newcomers. Otherwise, no matter how good the script is, it is easy to be sold. artist, take a look!"

Zhou Mingru held a stack of documents with the artist's information printed on them, and handed them over.

Chen Donglai took the document and read it.

"Zhou Xiansheng, 40 years old, second-tier actor, starred in "The Wind and Cloud of the Tang Dynasty", "Butterfly Love Flower"... Five years ago, because of his girlfriend's framing, he terminated his contract with the entertainment company..."

"He Ya, 40 years old, a second-tier artist...Three years ago, she fell into a scandal because her boyfriend cheated on her, and was hidden by the company..."

"Yu Yu..."

Chen Dong took a look around.

Without exception, these artists are all powerful actors who have been forced to terminate their contracts with the company due to various reasons.

Is it okay to use these actors to make a movie?

Although the black spots on their bodies are not too big according to the documents, if something goes wrong, it will be very bad if the movie is blocked.

Zhou Mingru on the side seemed to see Chen Donglai's concerns, and immediately said: "Mr. Chen, you can rest assured that the problems with these people are not black spots in the circle, and will not have any impact on the movie, and we can also After screening again, some people who can be used are left!"

"And the salaries of these people are basically not high!"

"Some people are even popular in the market. For example, Zhou Xiansheng, who has gained weight after leaving the film and television industry these years, can be asked to play Mr. Wang in the play. I feel that he is very agreeable in terms of character and image!"

"And this one..."

Zhou Mingru introduced some of the actors he liked to Chen Donglai one by one.

Chen Donglai also listened very seriously.

Indeed, he did not know much about these actors.

If he had a choice, he would definitely want to be a popular and powerful actor with a clean foundation and popularity online.

But unfortunately, he has no choice now.

And according to Zhou Mingru's introduction, these actors really fit the image of the key characters in "Charlotte's Annoyance".

"Director Zhou, do you have a recent photo of Zhou Xiansheng?"

Chen Donglai glanced slightly, and asked.

"Yes, I just got it, take a look!"

Zhou Mingru took out his phone and clicked a set of photos.

Chen Donglai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "This image fits me well, but I don't know if his acting skills are satisfactory?"

"The acting skills should be fine. The works he starred in before being terminated by the entertainment company were not bad. I have also investigated the background. The reason why he was terminated back then was because his girlfriend asked for a sky-high price gift after he became popular, and he couldn't satisfy it. He was framed by his girlfriend and the paparazzi on the Internet, causing his reputation to be ruined. After the contract was terminated, the truth was exposed, but because his popularity is not as good as before, he is not used in many movies anymore!"

Zhou Mingru explained.

"Then let him try it out. What we want to make a movie is strength, and the acting skills are online enough!"

Chen Donglai nodded in agreement.

He now has a lot of traffic himself, and after the movie is finished, he has to find a way to promote it, and he doesn't need to rely on the popularity of the actors themselves to generate some help for the movie.

"By the way, do you have a suitable candidate for the role of Yuan Hua?"

Chen Donglai continued to ask.

In the original drama "Charlotte Annoyance", Yuan Hua is one of the highlights in the movie. It would be a pity if there is no suitable person to play it.

"Not yet!"

"There are no suitable candidates for the male and female protagonists and some young supporting roles!"

"The main reason is that there are too few actors who are young, have acting skills, and are able to participate in our movie!"

Zhou Mingru sighed.

When Chen Donglai heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Don't worry about the protagonist, if you can't find an actor, I can try it myself!"

"You do it yourself?!"

Zhou Mingru was taken aback immediately when he heard the words, and looked at Chen Donglai with some surprise.

"That's right, it just so happens that I'm not a singer anymore, so let's try to be an actor!"

Chen Donglai said solemnly.

He didn't shoot movies just to make money. At the beginning, he just wanted to complete the systematic tasks and make the temporary professional acting skills permanent.

But after he had professional-level acting skills, he never had the chance to use them officially.

If it really doesn't work this time, he will do it himself.

It can also save a lot of salary, and save a sum of money for the budget that is not well-off.

"Will this be a little bad?"

Zhou Mingru frowned, and said tactfully.

In his impression, Chen Donglai might be a composer or a singer, but he would definitely not be an actor.

Moreover, he had never heard of Chen Donglai's relationship with the profession of an actor.

He suspected that Chen Donglai might be messing around!

But, after all, he is his own boss, and it's not easy to say it directly, so he can only express it tactfully.

Chen Donglai saw what Zhou Mingru was thinking, and immediately smiled and said, "Director Zhou, don't worry, everything will follow the procedure. I will also audition together like those actors. If you think it's not suitable, you can just pass me."

"Okay, then I won't release water!"

Zhou Mingru said with a straight face.

"Okay, then let's discuss things other than actors, such as filming this piece..."

Chen Donglai continued talking.

He told about the filming team introduced by Li Pu.

Zhou Mingru did not object directly, but said that he would know after trying it tomorrow.

The two of them chatted until it was dark, but they only talked about the general context of the shooting.

"It's getting late, we'll talk about some other details tomorrow when we prepare for the crew!"

"Okay, then I'll go back first!"
