MTL - The Day I Checked In In the City-Chapter 435 star arrival
Seeing this warm welcome scene, Li Xu was slightly ashamed.
I can't bear such a big battle with my small production.
When he explained his doubts to Han Yingwen, Lao Han smiled and said, "Mr. Li, as long as a foreign product is involved, there is no small production!"
Li Xu instantly understood.
***Follow foreigners!
But after all, people are cheering for themselves, it is a little inappropriate to say so.
Besides, in such a big environment, how can personal ideas be "unconventional" in the torrent of aesthetics?
Li Xu's originally happy mood suddenly became a lot darker.
National self-confidence has been hit too hard by certain forces.
After so many years of remodeling, there is still a long way to go.
"Director Howard is welcome to come and guide, and all leaders are welcome."
Li Xu was ecstatic, and the leaders of the school's film and television performance major had already welcomed him.
Warmly shook hands with Howard and several American assistants.
There was a beautiful female teacher next to her who helped translate.
Why do you say it's beautiful.
Because it is really beautiful, and she will dress up, not to mention her temperament.
After greeting the foreigners, these leaders shook hands with Han Yingwen and Li Xu who came together, and expressed their welcome.
At this time, Li Xu played the same role as that beautiful teacher.
All are translations.
After a welcome speech,
It is a serious casting.
Because the main body is laborers who go to the United States, most of the male roles, especially the roles of some young laborers, are all men.
This time, all the actors were selected.
In the performance room specially provided by the school, handsome male students lined up quietly waiting there.
"Player number three!"
With a loud shout, the students walked in one by one.
They either perform a sitcom, or come to a talent show, each of them showing off their talents to the fullest.
Li Xu nodded unconsciously after watching the process. A professional is a professional. Although some of the performances are exaggerated, the expressions and limbs are all in place, which makes people feel that it is the case.
It is a completely different state from those old blue-collar actors.
It can be said that one is life and the other is a template, each with its own pros and cons.
The only unpleasant thing is that Li Xu found out that there are so many people who are more handsome than him.
Cough cough!
Due to the large number of people, it took a full afternoon to complete the interviews with the students.
As the last male student left, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's finally done. Come on, Lao Han, it's been a long time, let's have a drink."
"Mr. Li, your alcohol intake hasn't changed!" Han Yingwen hurriedly joked when he heard it.
"How is that possible. I'm just talking to you if you look down on me. If you don't have two bottles of good wine today, I won't finish it." Li Xu smiled.
"Don't worry, it's definitely a good wine." Han Yingwen just finished speaking, when he saw the door of the practice room being pushed open, and the previous school leader walked in with a few people.
After another wave of handshakes and greetings, the leader explained his intention and had dinner!
As the saying goes, it is short to take people and short to eat people.
But if you don't eat or take it, you don't give face.
Human society, it is not the case.
Because these people thought that Howard and several foreigners were dominant, they were mainly targeted at first.
Through the beautiful translator, I talked about the situation of the invitation to dinner.
Where did Howard become the master? After listening to the translation, he turned his attention to Li Xu.
Li Xu coughed, then stepped forward and said, "Thanks to the leaders for their kindness, I'm flattered, but Mr. Howard was exhausted all the way, and he still wanted to rest early."
"Understanding, understanding, it's just a casual meal, and it can be regarded as an expression of our welcome to Director Howard from afar. It can't be said that we don't understand etiquette." The leader said with a smile.
Following this leader, he looked at Han Yingwen again and said, "Mr. Han, we are also old friends. Why did you come to me and want to leave without eating!"
Han Yingwen's heart is bitter, you look better, see who is the talker, you always ask what the shrimp soldiers and crab generals are doing!
Li Xu originally wanted to refuse, and then went to drink flower wine with Lao Han.
I didn't expect the other party to be so persistent.
where is this?
Art school!
Can you drink without a star to accompany you?
Li Xu was suddenly moved.
After thinking about it, he pretended to discuss with Howard, murmured a few words, then turned around and said, "Then it will cost you money."
"Should be."
Now that the dinner has been set.
Then it's up to the host.
Soon everyone arrived at a rather hidden garden-like restaurant.
Everyone is done according to the position of the guest and the host.
Then there is the process of toasting and drinking.
Li Xu originally expected that a certain star would come to accompany the wine, but after waiting all night, there was only the beautiful teacher and a woman to accompany him.
Feelings, the fancy banquet that I imagined, I thought for nothing.
Bad reviews, I'm not afraid that I will go back and reduce your quota by a few!
Because Howard is a foreigner and has poor resistance to liquor, he was already drunk after drinking a little, so the whole banquet did not last long.
The leader was slightly dissatisfied, and the meal was invited, but the purpose was not achieved.
No one thought that this foreigner was so useless, a little drunk.
Everyone had no choice but to end the banquet hastily.
After returning to the hotel, Li Xu arranged accommodation for several foreigners and came to the hotel lobby.
At this time, Han Yingwen was waiting here with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Li, I have already prepared good wine and tea!"
What is stinky congruence?
This is.
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, the dedicated Howard endured a headache and continued to interview students from another school.
On the other hand, Li Xu continued to sleep until the third day after he ordered his work!
As a boss, if you don't even have this autonomy, what else is there to do.
Of course, the main reason is that today's interview is still a large group of gentlemen.
With Han and English coordinating from it, Li Xu was not worried about what happened.
In this way, until the fourth day, a total of 60 young labor actors with camera shots were selected.
All that's left is the male pig's feet and a few male and female supporting roles.
These people must not use newcomers.
Although Li Xu doesn't expect this movie to make money, you have to have a gimmick to promote it.
To popularize history, then you have to make people interested to know about it.
So stars must be found, and they must be cheap.
Li Xu didn't dare to think like that before, mainly because his investment was small and the subject matter was not popular.
But after a few days of contact and understanding.
Li Xu can now say that there are many actors who are very enthusiastic about appearing in American movies, and they are willing to do it even if they are paid a minimum salary.
So Li Xu asked Han Yingwen to use Hanhai Entertainment's relationship to invite those "stars" who were willing to perform to audition.
Of course, the auditions of celebrities are different from ordinary actors, they are more private and more casual.
It is probably to describe the characters in a script and let the stars shape it to see if the characters meet the director's requirements.
After the notification, some brokers responded to the information soon, and some who were close to the gap were ready to come directly.
Some distant ones also said that they would come to meet in a day or two.
Li Xu did not expect that it would take so much time just to screen actors, which was completely beyond his plan.
It seems that in any industry, it will not be so easy to do well.
In the afternoon after the information notification, a male star rushed over in a commercial car.
Reception stars, of course, can't be in a hotel room.
Li Xu was cheeky and rented the studio of Hanhai Entertainment.
Before, it was a personal feeling to borrow Korean and English, but now it is used directly, how could Li Ruoxi not know.
Immediately, a phone call came to Li Xu.
"Okay, your wings are hard now, and you've been tinkering with the movie yourself, and it's still produced by the United States. If you don't tell me one, two, three, four, five today, I'll kill it!"
Li Xu had a headache when he heard her phone call, so he had no choice but to talk about his study abroad, and then about his investment in filmmaking.

Li Ruoxi was dumbfounded.
"If you dare to lie to me, just wait!"
"Why am I lying to you, I'm really studying at Tongji University in Shanghai!"
Li Yijing paused for a few seconds before saying, "You're not afraid, you should be "gou" for the first 20 years!"
"You're the dog!" Li Xu immediately replied when he heard it.
"You wait for me, I'll go right over."
Li Ruoxi didn't respond to his words, just hung up the phone after speaking.
Li Xu didn't expect her reaction to be so big.
Within half an hour, Li Ruoxi hurried over.
As soon as he saw Li Xu, he looked at him up and down with strange eyes.
"What are you worried about?" Li Xu wrapped his clothes and felt a little cold.
"Let me see, have you changed people!" Li Ruoxi said.
"It's like a fake replacement!"
Li Ruoxi nodded, then stepped into the studio.
Li Xu introduced Howard and others to Li Ruoxi, and after everyone chatted for a while, Li Ruoxi took Li Xu to her office.
When she got to the office, she didn't speak, but still looked at him up and down, with a tsk tsk admiration coming out of her mouth.
"You can't finish it, if you do this again, I'll go." Li Xu was furious at her.
"You're really good boy. I just asked my classmates in the United States, and they asked for me. MIT does have someone like you." Li Ruoxi said.
"Why did I lie to you?" Li Xu said angrily.
"Sister, I am impressed by you now." Li Ruoxi praised.
In her heart, Li Xu was just a lucky guy who got the company's shares by accident.
Although the two got along well later, in her heart, Li Xu was not a talent.
A graduate of a second college and an entrepreneur of a small company is really not a talent in her eyes.
However, in just half a year, this guy was not only admitted to graduate school, but was also invited to study abroad.
Now they are investing in foreign film crews and come to China to select actors.
Isn't that what talent is?
"You're not going to fall in love with me, are you?" Li Xu pretended to be afraid and drew back.
"Now, it's not impossible!"
"Stop, stop, it hurts my feelings to continue talking."
"Cut, bear-like. Okay, let's not tease you, let's get down to business, your film, the domestic market wants to cooperate with our Hanhai." Li Ruoxi said with a playful expression.
"Well, what do I think, this is not what it should be, but my film may not sell well." Li Xu said.
"Is there a script? Can I read it?"
"Whatever, whoever we are with!"
Ten minutes later, when Li Ruoxi read the script in Li Xu's hand, she didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
Li Ruoxi wiped the corners of her eyes, took a long breath and said, "Are you still short of funds?"
"No, there's no shortage. I'm enough to invest myself!"
"Hey, if there is no shortage, there is no shortage. Who is rare."
The two chatted for a while, but they also reached an intention to cooperate.
In the future, when the film is reviewed in China, Hanhai will be solely responsible for the operation of the domestic theater chain.
"Just take it easy outside and call me if you have anything."
"Um!"
Li Xu nodded.
"Then I'm leaving, don't always choose beautiful actors!" Li Ruoxi urged.
"Got it!" Li Xu replied helplessly and watched Li Ruoxi leave the company.
Not long after Li Ruoxi left, the male star also rushed over.
This is a young actor who has played a lot of male No. 2, and his popularity is quite high.
It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to be a pig's foot.
Li Xu's current worth and the things he touches have long since changed.
He has seen rich people in the United States, he has done luxury private jets, and he has also talked to NBA stars. When he looks at this second-rate domestic star in front of him, he does not feel disturbed at all.
After a simple greeting, Howard gave him a script in which the boy's feet just got off the ship and saw America for the first time.
The male star took over the script, pondered it for a while, and then improvised it.
Howard looked and nodded.
The results are clearly good.
After being affirmed by the director, the star also showed a smile on his face.
However, the result will not be finalized on the spot.
So after the star audition, he left with his agent.
After that, another female star came. She is not very beautiful, but she has old enough acting qualifications and good acting skills. She has always been the main supporting role of some popular dramas, and she is relatively famous.
I tried an important supporting role in the movie, and the expression and state were all in place.
Everyone is also satisfied.
In the following day, two more star actors came to interview~www.novelbuddy.com~ These two are also male and female supporting roles, so they can be regarded as second-rate actors.
A real first-class movie actor doesn't like this kind of small production.
Originally, Li Xu thought that the current film and television industry was full of vases and laymen. After so many days of interviews, Li Xu discovered that it was not that there were many vases and laymen, but that it was easier for them to get the support of capital.
It is also easier to expose.
"Are the remaining two stars still here?" In the studio, Li Xu looked at Han Yingwen and asked.
Han Yingwen told him before that there are two more famous stars who will also come to interview.
"I just got in touch, and they will arrive almost tomorrow afternoon." Han Yingwen responded.
"Okay, then let's wait another day." Li Xu nodded.
After choosing the role, Li Xu was ready to go back, and Howard was in charge of the rest of the framing and shooting.
There is a specialization in the art industry!
