Chapter 185: Forming a Crew



Early in the morning, when Chen Muyang opened his eyes, sunlight shone through the window onto the bed.

I got up, washed, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then drove to the football field.

The Internet is now flooded with publicity for "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and Yang Xuejian is willing to spend money on it.

"China in Classics" was in a hurry to be broadcast, with only three days of promotion, and various channels and self-media were used.

Especially the intercepted trailer, which made people's scalps tingle and they exclaimed that it was exciting, which made everyone look forward to this show even more!

football field.

"How do you think our practice went?"

Everyone knows how to play football, but it’s unfamiliar at the beginning, so all we practice is tacit cooperation and tactical coordination.

"It's ready!" everyone said in unison.

"I think it's okay. Everyone has cooperated well these two days. Whether it's long passes or offense and defense, we have a certain degree of tacit understanding." Lu Han has been playing football continuously for several days. He has become darker, but also stronger.

"We can't just say it's okay. We need to be ambitious and aim to win! Who knows, maybe we can compete in the World Cup and play against the best teams in the world. Messi and Ronaldo will be waiting for you."

"Brother Yang, if you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore. I just got it!"

“Just do it!”

Everyone suddenly became full of energy and enthusiasm.

......

At noon, while he was having lunch, Huo Tingting called and told him that Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang would arrive at the company at 2 pm and asked him to watch the time pass.

After dinner, Chen Muyang greeted everyone and came to the company, waiting for the two to come.

"Sister Ting, prepare the script."

"It's been prepared for a long time."

"All right."

At a quarter past two, a business car stopped at the door of the villa.

"Finally, you two are here!" Chen Muyang came out of the villa.

"Haha, I've been waiting for you to find me. Last time you told me about the script, I was quite curious." A shiny boiled egg head was the first to stick out from the car, and then Xu Zheng jumped out.

Then, a man with a simple and honest face got out of the car.

The two of them were together before, and after receiving a call from Huo Tingting inviting them, they came together.

"Mu Yang, let me introduce you, this is Bao Qiang."

Bald Xu Zheng said with a smile.

"Brother Baoqiang!" Chen Muyang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wang Baoqiang.

"Hello, hello, I've heard a lot about you!" Wang Baoqiang's honest smile makes people feel good about him.

"Let's go to the conference room and talk. It's too hot outside."

......

In the conference room, just as the three of them sat down, Huo Tingting walked in with three cups of tea.

"Tea, please!"

Chen Muyang doesn't drink coffee, so he specifically asked someone to drink tea instead.

"Teacher Xu Zheng, Brother Bao Qiang, let's not beat around the bush. Let's get straight to the point. Here's the script, take a look first."

Chen Muyang pushed the script printed out by Huo Tingting onto the table in front of the two of them.

"Wait!" Bald Xu Zheng suddenly said.

Wang Baoqiang and Chen Muyang were both stunned and looked at Xu Zheng in confusion.

Xu Zheng then said seriously, "Why are you calling him Brother Baoqiang and me Teacher? That's not okay. You have to call me Brother."

Wang Baoqiang, who was about to look through the script, burst out laughing.

Chen Muyang was speechless for a moment. He thought something big had happened to you.

"Okay, Brother Zheng?"

"Oh, that's right!"

Only then did Xu Zheng order the braised egg head with satisfaction.

"You two should take a look at the script first." Chen Muyang said after taking a sip of tea.

"Lost on Journey" tells the story of Li Chenggong, the boss of a toy group, and Niu Geng, a farm milker who is collecting debts, on their journey to Changsha. The two encounter ridiculous and bizarre things, and end up spending New Year's Eve in the wilderness.

The two went from strangers to acquaintances and became friends. Niu Geng's sincerity changed Li Chenggong and aroused his return to true love.

The story wasn't long, so the two of them quickly got a general idea of ​​it.

"The script is well written. I'll take it. It has both funny and tear-jerking moments. I really want to open your head and see what it looks like." Xu Zheng looked at Chen Muyang and said.

"I answered it too." Wang Baoqiang also spoke.

"Brothers, don't be impatient. It's not too late to make a decision after hearing it!"

Chen Muyang waved his hand.

Xu Zheng: "Okay, you go ahead."

"Well, this movie only cost seven million, so your salaries might not be high. You'll know which role suits you best after reading the script."

The two nodded without changing their expressions, motioning Chen Muyang to continue.

"Also, I will be directing this movie, which is my first real directorial experience."

Xu Zheng's eyes widened when he heard this. "No, you're the director? Are you sure?"

Chen Muyang nodded affirmatively, "Of course!"

"I know you can write poetry, compose songs and sing, but I've never heard you can direct?"

Xu Zheng scratched the non-existent hair on his head.

"Hasn't you heard it now, Brother Zheng?" Chen Muyang chuckled.

"Are you confident?" Wang Baoqiang suddenly said.

“It’s a must!”

"Then I'll take a gamble, even if I don't get paid!"

"Baoqiang, you...why did you agree so quickly?" Xu Zheng looked at Wang Baoqiang in surprise.

"Brother, I'm not smart, but I thought this story was really good, so I accepted it." Wang Baoqiang smiled innocently.

Xu Zheng shrugged. "Baoqiang has already said so. If I don't agree, will I be even more stupid than him?"

"Okay, that's settled then. Brother Zheng will play the toy company boss Li Chenggong, who has hair, and Brother Baoqiang will play the role of Geng Hao."

"Hair? That's great! Let the audience see that I'm handsome too!"

Xu Zheng slapped his thigh and said.

"Then the two brothers go back and wait for news first, familiarize yourself with the script, and once the crew is assembled, we'll notify you to start filming."

"Thank you both for your generosity. I look forward to our pleasant cooperation!" Chen Muyang raised his teacup in gesture.

“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”

“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”

The three of them clinked their teacups.

Chen Muyang asked Huo Tingting to bring two contracts, with each person receiving a remuneration of one million yuan. After signing the contract, he transferred the money on the spot.

Next, start thinking about the remaining suitable actors.

The role of Dawei was given to Pengpeng, the female teacher was played by Zhao Lishi, and Li Chenggong's wife was played by Yang Xuejian.

As for the rest that I can’t think of for the time being, I can only look for them slowly.

Then I called a few people and communicated with them. Except for Pengpeng, whose agent seemed to have directly rejected it because the cost of the film was too small, Zhao Lishi and Yang Xuejian agreed readily.

Yang Xuejian even said that she would just bring her artists to play minor roles and show their faces.

Chen Muyang put down the phone. Since Pengpeng was not coming, he would let Lu Han come.

"Sister Ting, go help me recruit the remaining actors and some extras."

Huo Tingting couldn't help but say, "For such a low-budget movie, I guess we can only find newcomers."

Chen Muyang waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, the main actors have basically been found, the rest is not important."
