“No, I won’t change my schedule.”
Cao An rejected Mr. Zhao’s suggestion on the phone.
“Okay, since you insist, I won’t persuade you anymore. Just focus on filming.”
After hanging up Mr. Zhao’s phone, Cao An looked thoughtfully at the introduction of the entries on the official website of the competition.

These days, the information of the works of major participating directors has been displayed.
It’s just that there are relatively few confirmed release dates, after all, the movies have not started shooting yet.
But the first two movies to confirm the release date actually chose the National Day file at the same time, and these two people are the old Zhang Yimou and the new generation Cao An.
So when everyone found out about this, it immediately caused a huge discussion.
The entry #Zhang Yimou and Cao An compete at the same time# was on the hot search of major platforms.
Netizens have different opinions on this matter, but generally they all have the same feeling.
Cao An will lose badly during the National Day.
“Fuck, is this a coincidence or a pre-arranged agreement?”
“Experienced director VS new director.”
“It’s over, director Cao An is going to lose.”
“Haha, this is a dead end, Cao An will definitely lose miserably.”
“Oh! This will be a massacre!”
…
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the actor requirements of Cao An and Zhang Yimou were issued at almost the same time.
This has also caused a great deal of turmoil in the actor circle, especially some people who are familiar with Cao An and Zhang Yimou are in a dilemma.
On one side is the new generation of dark horse directors, although they have only produced two works, each of them is popular all over the country.
On the other side are senior industry leaders, powerful directors who have won numerous awards at home and abroad.
At the same time, Zhang Yimou’s media account released a list of actor invitations.
The list lists some male and female actors, saying that they have been invited to audition.
Among them, Yang Mi, Liu Yifei and others who have a good relationship with Cao An are on the list.
This makes people wonder whether Zhang Yimou’s move is to poach Cao An’s people.
As soon as Cao An saw the news, Liu Yifei called.
As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Yifei’s serious voice came from the other end, “I won’t go to Zhang Yimou for an audition.”
Hearing this, Cao An was very moved.
The two of them were tired for a while, and Cao An invited her to an audition, and Liu Yifei readily agreed.
As soon as they hung up, Yang Mi’s phone also came in.
She also said that she would not go to Zhang Yimou for an audition.
He also said some private things to Yang Mi, such as changing the fighting posture to let her experience the joy of automatic transmission, etc.
Then Cao An also invited her to audition, and Yang Mi immediately agreed.
Since the other party had sent a challenge, Cao An could not remain indifferent, and he also accelerated the selection of actors.
This time he no longer held an open audition, and only sent invitations to actors he thought were good.
This can save time and reduce uncertainty.
Liu Yifei, Cao An gave her the role of Fang Min, and Yang Mi was Lu Wangshu.
Originally, Cao An wanted Li Youbin to play the second Dong Wangcheng, but he did not have enough time to follow the group for a long time.
So Cao An invited him to play the role of teacher Fang Hanzhou. This role has very few scenes, and it can be shot in one day if it is fast.
In this regard, Li Youbin readily agreed.
Then the role of Dong Wangcheng was vacant, and Cao An searched for a long time and locked on a target.
Vice Chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Chairman and Honorary Chairman of the 9th Film Association, and First-Class Actor of the National Theatre – Li Xuejian.
Cao An found him through Teacher Zhao and told the story of the role of Dong Wangcheng, and Teacher Li Xuejian agreed to Cao An’s invitation.
He has not had any film contracts recently and has been performing in drama clubs. Now that Cao An has a good role, he will naturally not refuse.
After inviting Teacher Li Xuejian, Cao An’s progress was also very smooth, and several other roles were also selected one after another.
The male protagonist Xiao Tu was selected by Cao An after various screenings and comparisons, mutual investigations and inquiries, and finally won by Zhang RuojunThis role.
(Real heroine) Hu Yibiao was played by Huang Jue, who had worked with him before.
Cao An finally chose Zhang Songwen for Muto Zhixiong.
In Cao An’s memory, he became popular because of “Kuang Biao”, but in this world he has not met the role of Gao Qiqiang, so he is not well-known now.
He was very excited to get the invitation, and agreed to play on the spot, and kept thanking Cao An.
Cao An chose Di Liba for the role of Gu Junru.
In the end, there are still two important roles that have not been decided.
One is the bad woman Zhuang Xiaoman. Cao An originally wanted to let Fan Bing play the role, but he has not received a reply yet.
As for the other young and lovely girl Muto Junko, Cao An has not yet found a suitable actor.
After all, she must have a pure and lovely appearance and acting skills, and there is no suitable person among those Cao An knows.
He originally wanted to ask Liu Yifei or Yang Mi if they knew a suitable one, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
In order to avoid them thinking too much, he should look for it slowly by himself.
…
The Imperial Capital, Fan Bing’s company.
Her agent Zhao Tianzhen handed two invitations to her and said, “Take a look, which side are you going to?”
The two invitations were from Cao An and Zhang Yimou.
Fan Bing looked at the invitations, and Zhao Tianzhen said, “Lao Mouzi’s is the female lead, Cao An’s is one of the female leads, I think Lao Mouzi’s is more reliable.”
“I heard that Lao Mouzi’s movie this time is co-produced with Hollywood, and the male lead is from there.”
“This is an international big-budget movie. Once you star in it, it will definitely increase your value and popularity, and you can also enter Hollywood, which can be said to be a lot of benefits.”
These things Zhang Yimou threw out were too attractive, and there was no domestic actress who was not envious.
Well-known director, Sino-foreign co-production, international movie, big investment.
Playing the female lead in such a movie is definitely a great boost to one’s own fame.
Fan Bing put down the two invitations, nodded and said: “You are right, but you overlooked one thing. Can I really get the role of the heroine?”
Hearing this, Zhao Tianzhen immediately understood.
Zhang Yimou’s heroine is definitely being eyed by many domestic actresses, and it is too difficult to break through the siege.
“That’s true, but I think we should try it. The opportunity is rare.”
Zhao Tianzhen reminded: “The time of these two invitations is about the same. With the current situation, I’m afraid I can only choose one side.”
Now Cao An and Zhang Yimou have started the competition. If someone still wants to please both sides, they will definitely not be able to please both sides.
Fan Bing thought for a while, and said to the two invitations:
“Don’t reply to either for the time being. I’ll go meet my “good brother” first. Our company is still lacking a director with weight.”
