Chapter 923 Casting
"Stop arguing, both of you," He Qishan said impatiently, "I know this matter well, President Wang can rest assured."

Seeing He Qishan say this, Wang Keying couldn't say anything else.

She had no choice but to trust He Qishan, but she felt somewhat uneasy in her heart.

Li Wenhou's trip to the Hong Kong city was fruitful.Two films produced by Big Bear Film Productions have been very rewarding.

Not only that, Li Wenhou recruited a lot of talents in Hong Kong City.

The film industry in Hong Kong City started early and developed rapidly, and has cultivated a group of talents in the film industry.It's just that the film industry is at a trough because of the recent poor economic development in Hong Kong City.

These Hong Kong film talents also hope that their professional skills can bring them rich returns, so they are also willing to work for Big Bear Film Production Company.

Among them, the most valued by Li Wenhou is Chen Shuihan, a well-known director in Hong Kong.

Chen Shuihan is good at shooting action movies, and the box office of several movies he has produced in succession has exceeded [-] million.

Li Wenhou was very excited to be able to invite Chen Shuihan to cooperate with Daxiong Film Production Company.

Big Bear Film Production Company invested [-] million yuan in Chen Shuihan's new work, "Reverse Killing".

In order to show his respect for Chen Shuihan, Li Wenhou invited Liu Xiaoguang to have dinner with Chen Shuihan.

In the private room, apart from Liu Xiaoguang, Li Wenhou, and Chen Shuihan, there was also a young and beautiful woman.

"Who is this?" Li Wenhou asked Chen Shuihan suspiciously.

Chen Shuihan smiled and introduced to Li Wenhou and Liu Xiaoguang, "Bosses, this is a new star in our Hong Kong film industry, Ms. Lu Shiwen."

This name made Li Wenhou and Liu Xiaoguang feel strange.

Lu Shiwen greeted Li Wenhou and Liu Xiaoguang with a smile, "Mr. Li, Mr. Liu!"

Gu Pan is full of beauty and smiles sweetly.

Li Wenhou and Liu Xiaoguang greeted Lu Shiwen politely, and the four of them sat down.
"Director Chen, what kind of story is this "Reverse Killing"?" Liu Xiaoguang asked.

This dinner is mainly to discuss the cooperation of the film, Liu Xiaoguang is more concerned about the plot of the film.

Chen Shuihan smiled disdainfully, "Mr. Liu, I told you about this movie, and you still don't understand it. Don't worry, my name, Chen Shuihan, is a gold-lettered signboard. You just invest, and I guarantee that you will lose as much money as you want!" "

Liu Xiaoguang frowned slightly, does this guy treat himself as a fool?He invested [-] million yuan in real money, so Chen Shuihan just prevaricates himself like this.

Seeing Liu Xiaoguang's displeasure, Li Wenhou quickly smoothed things over, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, Director Chen is the guarantee of the box office. Mr. Chen, send us a copy of the script in two days, so that Mr. Liu and I can know the story of the movie." context."

Chen Shuihan shrugged, "Okay, Mr. Li."

When the food was served, several people chatted while eating.

Chen Shuihan ordered two bottles of expensive red wine, and exchanged glasses with Li Wenhou.

After eating and drinking, the atmosphere in the private room also became warmer, and it was no longer as tense as before.

"Director Chen, apart from funding, what else do we need to cooperate with? Mr. Liu's Shengshi Xuanting Studio is an expert in the field of special effects. It just won the award for the best visual effects at the Hong Kong Film Festival. Your film If you need special effects production, you can cooperate with Shengshi Xuanting." Li Wenhou recommended Shengshi Xuanting to Chen Shuihan.

Chen Shuihan waved his hand, "When I shoot action movies, I always shoot them in real locations, without the need for special effects."

"What about actors? Do you have any actors you are more optimistic about?"

Chen Shuihan had already thought up the cast list, and seeing Li Wenhou's question, he said, "Zhang Jiaxuan, Lu Shiwen, Huang Daming, Shen Lingyue, Huang Bo."

Hearing Shen Lingyue's name, Liu Xiaoguang slightly raised his eyebrows, "Is Shen Lingyue the heroine?"

Chen Shuihan grinned, "The heroine is Miss Lu!"

A bright smile bloomed on Lu Shiwen's face.

"Who is the leading actor?" Liu Xiaoguang asked.

"Zhang Jiaxuan."

Zhang Jiaxuan and Lu Shiwen are both newcomers to the Hong Kong film industry. They have only appeared in two films and have never played the leading role.

Huang Daming and Huang Bo are both well-known movie actors in Huaxia.

Shen Lingyue also played the leading role in a film directed by Zhang Haisheng.

The arrangement of having these big-name actors match two newcomers is confusing.

Liu Xiaoguang glanced at Li Wenhou, and there was also a little confusion in Li Wenhou's eyes.

"Director Chen, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for these big names to play supporting roles for two newcomers." Li Wenhou was worried that Liu Xiaoguang would conflict with Chen Shuihan, so he asked first.

Chen Shuihan put down his wine glass, "It's enough if the money is in place! Don't worry, Mr. Li, as long as the salary is in place, it's no problem for these people to act as dogs."

Chen Shuihan's attitude made Liu Xiaoguang a little unhappy.

"Excuse me, Miss Lu's age?" Liu Xiaoguang asked Lu Shiwen.

Lu Shiwen looked confused, "Let it go, let it go for what?"

Liu Xiaoguang was speechless, this girl is a pure vase, "How old are you?"

"Oh, 22 years old!"

Liu Xiaoguang looked at Chen Shuihan, "Miss Lu is about the same age as Shen Lingyue, and Shen Lingyue has played the leading role in a movie directed by Zhang Haisheng, so she has more acting experience. Why did you choose Miss Lu as the heroine?"

Chen Shuihan looked displeased, "Why, Mr. Liu wants to interfere with my casting?"

"No, no, Director Chen, you misunderstood, Mr. Liu just has some doubts about the casting." Li Wenhou hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Since I entered the industry, I have made more than 40 films, and no one has ever interfered with my casting. This is my rule. If the two bosses have doubts about my casting, then there is no need for us to continue to cooperate .” Chen Shuihan's attitude was tough.

Li Wenhou wanted to say something, but was held back by Liu Xiaoguang, "Director Chen, I respect your right to cast actors, but the largest market for Chinese films is now in the mainland. Hong Kong City only has a box office of less than one billion, and I haven’t even heard the names of the leading actors and actresses you chose, isn’t it child’s play for you to expect the two of them to carry this big production with an investment of 560 million?”

Lu Shiwen's pretty face turned cold, and she complained to Chen Shuihan, "Director Chen, what do you think he said?"

Chen Shuihan became angry, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean? Don't think that you can dictate my films because you have money. Although the film market in Hong Kong City is not as good as that in mainland China, our film production level is much better than yours. We have many excellent director, screenwriter and actors."

Liu Xiaoguang interrupted Chen Shuihan, "Then go find your good actors and screenwriters, and don't use this kind of vase to fool me."

Chen Shuihan got up angrily, "Mr. Li, I came to meet you only to save face. If you have the same attitude, then there is no need for us to cooperate."

"Director Chen, don't get too excited," Li Wenhou also got up, "Boss Liu is also thinking about our movie."
