Letting Ning Hao be the deputy director of "The Flying Tigers" is a kind of compensation for Ning Hao by Li Mu. As he said, people in the national film and television industry now, except for those who have to show off first when they die, basically want to learn from the crew of this movie. This project is indeed a great opportunity to learn, gild and become famous overnight. There is no doubt that I have to arrange such opportunities for Ning Hao.

Ning Hao was also particularly grateful for Li Mu's care. He went from an unknown newcomer to being selected by Li Mu, and followed Li Mu step by step to today. Almost all the promises Li Mu gave him were doubled. Although the release of "Crazy Stone" was postponed, he did not blame Li Mu at all. He knew that Li Mu must have his reason for doing this.

Now, Li Mu has provided himself with such a good opportunity, which has made Ning Hao more confident in following him all the way to the end. Before he is ready to be a boss, there is nothing more fortunate than finding a good boss.

At this time, Li Mu said again: "There is a third thing. You say hello to Huang Bo, Tang Wei and the others. I arranged two supporting roles with few scenes but many, such as Huang Bo plays a local farmer in China and Tang Wei plays a Chinese female nurse."

Both of them are signed actors of Makino Ying. Naturally, such a good opportunity cannot be just a favorable person. Huang Bo's image as a farmer when he was in "Bullfighting" was very impressive. With his acting skills, he will definitely be very outstanding in playing a farmer in "Flying Tigers". Tang Wei is also very suitable for the image of a female nurse, and Li Mu is also very confident in her.

In addition to the two of them, Li Mu is also planning to arrange a role for Su Yingxue's cousin Wang Xinran. Wang Xinran is studying in the Film Academy and has filmed "Those Years" before. Her performance in it is remarkable. Moreover, the box office of "Those Years" has set a new record in the domestic movie box office, which has given her a certain popularity now. It is better to strike while the iron is hot and give her some good chance.

When Ning Hao heard that Huang Bo was asked to play a farmer, he immediately applauded and said, "Boss, Huang Bo is really amazing to play a farmer. No matter what kind of farmer he is, I think he can play the role of his true nature!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Are you hurting him or praising him?"

Ning Hao smiled and said, "Half-promotion and half-loss! But he is indeed suitable for a role like a farmer!"

Li Mu nodded and said, "There is more important thing, which is the choice of the Chinese male lead. I now have a rough candidate, please help me with the staff."

Ning Hao immediately sat upright and asked curiously: "Boss, who is the actor you prefer for this role?"

For the movie "Flying Tigers", the most important thing among Chinese actors is the starring role of one man and one woman. Ning Hao is very clear about Li Mu's preference for Du Wei, so she has decided to play the heroine by Li Mu for a long time, and others cannot have any competitiveness, so the male lead has become Ning Hao's biggest mystery. He particularly wants to know who he will choose to play the male lead with Li Mu's vision and requirements.

However, one thing is certain. No matter who is chosen by Li Mu to play this role, for that actor, he will be extremely lucky! It will definitely make the male actors in the entire film and television industry envious...

Looking at Ning Hao's expectant eyes, Li Mu smiled and said, "Have you heard of an actor named Liu Ye?"

"Liu Ye?" Ning Hao frowned slightly: "I can't think of it, I don't have any impression."

As he said that, Ning Hao asked nervously: "Boss, are you going to find a newcomer to act in this drama?"

Ning Hao didn't say the second half of the sentence. He felt that the Hollywood lineup in "The Flying Tigers" was extremely powerful. If there weren't a few good-looking actors in China to calm down, then the acting skills of Chinese actors would be completely crushed by Hollywood actors.

Li Mu saw that his expression was a little worried. After thinking about it carefully, he knew what he was worried about, so he said, "Liu Ye is not a newcomer. He acted in "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" a few years ago. Do you have any impression?"

"Oh, he!" Ning Hao nodded quickly and said, "I know him, from the Central Academy of Drama, but I just didn't remember any name."

Ning Hao tilted his head and thought for a long time, saying, "This young man's acting skills are still OK. He is considered first-class among this wave of young actors, but he is still a little immature. Boss, Du Wei is very young, Huang Bo and Tang Wei are also very young. Add Liu Ye, why do you play opposite other Hollywood actors? Tom Hanks won't talk about it. Leonardo alone is enough to crush it. If our acting skills cannot be suppressed by then, it will look a bit embarrassing."

Li Mu nodded: "It's a problem. Even if young actors pass the acting skills, their quality will definitely be much worse. And I'm afraid that if they act opposite Hollywood actors, their momentum will be suppressed..."

Thinking of this, Li Mu said: "You can invite veteran actors like Chen Baoguo, Wang Zhiwen and Chen Daoming to play the role of a military officer in the National Army. The veteran actors' acting skills are still very good. Let them act opposite Tom Hanks. As for the young actors, the movie has a long cycle and can only force them to accelerate their growth during this period."

Ning Hao sighed softly and asked him: "Boss, this is somewhat risky. Do you really not consider Hong Kong and Taiwan actors?"

Li Mu shook his head: "I don't think about it, let's not talk about anything else. Just accent is a big problem. This movie must be received at the same time as the whole movie. Who can be competent for this? I don't want the Chinese Flying Tigers players who were talking on their Hong Kong and Taiwan accents when they took off and fought..."

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "This is indeed a big problem. There are not many people who are suitable for this role, and they have to speak Mandarin standards, so there is really no one to choose."

Then, Ning Hao said again: "But Liu Ye is not bad either. If this kid can work hard to seize this opportunity and perform very well, I think it's OK. His acting skills, image, temperament, and voice are more in line with the requirements of this role, the only thing is that he is almost there."

"Yes." Li Mu nodded and said, "I can't find someone more suitable than him for the time being. Please help me make an appointment with him for a while. If he is willing to play this role, I want him to terminate the contract with his current agency first and then sign in with Makino Impression."

"Okay." Ning Hao said: "I'll contact him now."

...

Liu Ye has been very fulfilling recently. For a young actor who has just come out of school for a few years, he has been doing well in the past few years. He starred in "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" before he graduated. He just graduated and filmed "Lan Yu", and then won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor. Last year, he also starred in "Balzac and the Little Tailor", and the movie was even nominated for the Golden Globe Award.

The three movies have given Liu Ye a certain degree of training in his acting skills, but the embarrassing point is that none of these three movies are commercial films, so his popularity in China has not reached the height that a Golden Horse actor should have. Fortunately, he just took on the filming of Haiyan's drama "What to Save You, My Lover" directed by Zhao Baogang. The TV series is now in the hot stage. Although the movie is not popular, the TV series is indeed popular, which also makes him active and have constant film appointments, and has the potential to become a hit.

Liu Ye's agency handed him over to the company today and gave him a script. A well-known domestic photographer was about to change careers and become a director, and was about to shoot an art film with the theme of educated youth, hoping that he could play the male lead in it.

The agency is not very interested in this movie. They just routinely showed Liu Ye the script so that he could understand it in advance. However, from the perspective of the company, I still hope that he could take on a commercial movie. His first three movies were all artistic film routines, and they were not popular. Some of the slutty things are not necessarily liked by ordinary people. The company was worried that the deep-rooted image and positioning of his art film would affect his future development. Fortunately, a TV series finally made him popular, so the company hoped that he would strike while the iron was hot and film a commercial movie with great potential.

However, Liu Ye himself really wants to take on this movie. Although he is a hard-working actor, he is not smart in his future judgment. He just thinks that the theme of this movie is quite profound. He likes such roles with a certain depth.

As soon as the agent Wang Lan saw that Liu Ye had finished reading the script, he immediately tried to take the filming, and hurriedly persuaded him: "This movie will not start filming for a while, don't worry about it. The company recently wanted to run a commercial film for you, so hurry up and change your acting career. If you are always acting in art films, don't think about making a name for yourself in the film industry."

The Chinese film industry is far from commercial enough, and the box office market is very small, but the more this situation, the stronger the agent is, because if the market is good, you can eat a full meal by simply brushing leather shoes. However, if the industry is not good and you don’t have the ability to grab food from the mouth, you will have to starve to death.

These days, the budget for art films is basically pitifully low, and the pay for starring is also scary. It is exhausting to shoot for several months and get tens of thousands or tens of thousands of pre-tax pay. To be honest, it is not enough for the company to worry about. And the most important thing is that it is really a long time to make a comeback with this kind of movie.

Many directors of art films usually invest a million yuan, hoping to give them a movie to overseas film festivals to award awards, and then increase their value. Most of the time, even the movies of such movies may not be able to go to theaters. If actors act in such movies, they will gradually ruin their money.

Seeing that the agent objected, Liu Ye smiled and said, "Anyway, there are no good commercial films to start shooting now. If this film can be started in the first half of the year, it will be almost over by the end of the year. Wouldn't it be enough to take commercial films starting next year?"

Wang Lan sighed lightly: "Yes, there are no good commercial films recently. "Flying Tigers" is about to start filming. This unprecedented blockbuster is here. No one in China dares to start shooting a new film at the same time as him..."

Liu Ye also sighed with a longing look on his face: "How great it would be if he could play a role in "Flying Tigers". If he could play a Flying Tigers player, as long as he showed his face, even if there was no line in a word, I would have achieved my wish!"

Wang Lan smiled and said, "Stop dreaming. I wonder how many people have sharpened their heads and want to enter and play a role. We have nothing to do with Makino Eye, so there is definitely no chance."
