As an actor, it makes sense for me to know some kung fu, right?

"It feels so good to be flattered. No wonder so many people like to flatter others!"

After being praised by three people, Xu Lu thought in his heart with a strange expression.

But soon he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, stop filming the flattery now. Now that the script is given to you, other progress will have to be caught up.

First of all, except for me, who will play the male lead, the rest of the roles have not yet been decided, so I hope they will be finalized as soon as possible.

By the way, before the role is finalized, I must take a look at it before signing a contract with the other party..."

Xu Lu suddenly thought of something, so he immediately added something.

He doesn't want to invite an actor back. When the movie is about to be released, the actor goes to work on the sewing machine. Will the movie be released by then?

Therefore, use the skill of Qiankun Wangqi to take a look at the opponent's Qi level in advance. This can act as an insurance, at least to ensure that no big mistake will be made.

Although the three people present were a little puzzled by this, they didn't say much.

The director himself has the final say in selecting roles, not to mention that the director is also the father of the sponsor, so it goes without saying!

Of course, if it was Tang Siqiao or assistant Zhao Ting who heard this, they probably wouldn't have any puzzled expressions.

After all, the two of them have long been accustomed to the fact that Xu Lu always 'takes a look' when recruiting people!

"Well, that's about it. Of the 5000 million yuan investment, the first batch is expected to receive 2000 million yuan, which will be used for filming and other aspects. The remaining 3000 million yuan will be used for publicity and distribution!"

Xu Lu said:

"I hope you three can set up a stage for me as soon as possible. I'm just waiting to sing."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, but there is one last thing I want to confirm. That is, why doesn't your script have a name?"

Feng Xiaoxia asked:

"Should we add a name now? After all, our project cannot be left empty. Other projects need names for review and other things..."

Xu Lu waved his hand and said directly:

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, you also saw that the main character's name is 'Xia Luo', so the play is called 'Xia Luo Te Depressed', well, that's it!"

Charlotte is depressed?

When the three of them heard this, they were all a little dumbfounded.

"Isn't the name of this script a little weird...well, a little rough?"

"Mr. Xu's name-making ability seems a bit behind his book-writing skills, right?"

"With such a wonderful script and such a sexy name, it always feels like flowers stuck in cow dung!"

……

Fortunately, no matter what, the crew of 'Charlotte is Depressed' has finally begun to set up.

Now that the funds and script are in place, the next most important thing is of course the selection of actors and actresses.

It was easier to find some crew members. With Feng Xiaoxia and Lin Hui's connections in the industry, they quickly had a clue.

On the contrary, it is more difficult for actors.

However, Xu Lu, the chief director and investor, said that this drama does not have any fame requirements for the actors. Of course, the acting skills are still required.

So Lao Zhou and Feng Xiaoxia began to send audition invitations to the crew of "Charlotte Depressed" to some actors in the circle.

Although Xu Lu didn't care whether the actor was famous or not, Feng Xiaoxia, as the producer, had to consider it.

Because in the publicity work after the filming, having big-name stars join in is a good publicity stunt.

……

A certain star studio.

The assistant hurriedly ran to a woman who looked very innocent and said:

"Sister Liu, another crew has sent you an audition invitation. It is said that she is still the second female lead."

Hearing this, Liu Miao smiled somewhat complacently and asked:

"Which crew sent the invitation? Is it a film made by a famous director in the industry?"

The little assistant hurriedly said:

"Sister Liu, we are from a crew called 'Charlotte Depressed'. The director doesn't seem to be very famous."

"Then there's a big gap between them and the 'Happy Summer Tour' crew formed by 'Xia Lifei Films'!

Xia Lifei is not only a well-known film and television company in the industry, but the director he hired is also a well-known director..."

Having said this, Liu Miao raised a piece of information in her hand and said:

"That is, the second female lead of this depressed crew is somewhat attractive. If we go to the 'Happy Summer Tour', we will only be able to audition for the third and fourth female leads at most!

By the way, they didn't say how much money they plan to invest in the filming, so, Xiaoyu, please reply, if it is the female lead, I will go over and audition..."

"Sister Liu, actually the person from Charlotte's depressed crew is outside. I wanted to ask if you would like to be let in!"

The assistant suddenly said.

Liu Miao thought for a moment and said:

"Well, let's wait for a few minutes before you go out and call people in. For a small crew like this, we can't lower ourselves too low."

After a few minutes, the assistant walked out and soon brought in a young man.

The young man was of course Feng Xiaoxia. He smiled and said:

"Hello, Miss Liu, I am Feng Xiaoxia, the producer of Charlotte's Depressed Crew. I came here today to invite Miss Liu for a role..."

"Okay, okay, I just heard your purpose from Yu Yu."

Before Feng Xiaoxia could finish his words, Liu Miao interrupted impatiently:

"But unfortunately, a crew has already extended an invitation to me before you, and they are more famous than you..."

At this point, Liu Miao changed the topic and suddenly said:

"Of course, I haven't made a final decision yet. If your crew can come up with conditions that make me happy, I may change my mind."

After hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia almost knew what was going on, and said:

"Miss Liu, although our Charlotte Depressed crew is not well-known, our investment is definitely no less than that of ordinary crews. We plan to invest at least 5000 million in this project..."

Liu Miao interrupted again:

"Let me tell you this, if it was the female lead, I would consider joining your crew."

"Ms. Liu, I'm sorry, the first female lead has already been chosen, but I guarantee that the second female lead will have no less role than her at all, and you have to know that our investment is so huge..."

Feng Xiaoxia still wants to fight for it.

But she didn't expect Liu Miao opposite to hear that this unknown crew member was reluctant to part with the female lead. She turned serious on the spot and said with a look of disgust:

"What's the use of investing more? A film ultimately depends on its box office. Let me tell you this, I don't want to consider a film with a box office of less than [-] billion right now!"
