"Hey, have you heard of it? That Wang Meng is famous again."

"I've heard of it for a long time. Aren't you going to shoot a movie? I heard that I have received strong support from the director department."

"I heard that Wang Meng has something to do with Director Lu of the Director Department, hehe... do you understand?"

"No, that Wang Meng is like this. She looks pretty good."

"Do you know that Jiang Shuying from the performance department? It's the very beautiful one. I heard that it is Wang Meng's girlfriend. Jiang Shuying is really blind. What's worse than Wang Meng?" After saying this, this guy was despised by everyone.

"But Wang Meng is indeed very talented. "Bears" is his creativity. In addition, he has money, so it is normal to find a beautiful girlfriend..."

"And! Maybe his parents deliberately made his son happy!"

…………

Gossip is flying, and various mandatory brain-enhancing activities are spreading quickly on campus...

In fact, Wang Meng also expected that she would become popular, but she was still popular with the support of all directors.

As for the surprise Director Lu mentioned, Wang Meng was indeed very exciting.

When Wang Menglai Lao Lu discusses the actors...

After solemn consideration, Director Lu and his friends not only supported Wang Meng's shooting plan, but also felt that the DV shooting was in jeopardy, or that it was a waste of a good movie.

So I decided to take the photo by handing over the paper.

And he took out 500,000 yuan from the school’s Youth Directors Foundation as support. After precise calculations, this low-cost movie requires 800,000 yuan in budget funds.

As for the remaining funds, Wang Meng needs to consider it himself.

Wang Meng also had a general plan because the equipment scenes required for the whole movie were very simple.

Therefore, there are not many opportunities to attract advertising sponsorship.

It is nothing more than sponsorship for cars, wine, mobile phones, etc., which can give sponsors several close-up shots, and finally selected German Volkswagen located in Shanghai.

With the support of the entire director department, Volkswagen is also very concerned. After finalizing several necessary close-ups, Volkswagen decided to invest 200,000 yuan.

Although the Germans are very rigorous, Daniel Selp, the president of German Volkswagen in China, thought it was very good after reading the script. After all, Wang Meng's promotional slogan is very high-end.

"The world's first step in soft science fiction film, China's first step in science fiction film."

This sounds very high-end.

The remaining 100,000, and the remaining 50,000 are from Moutai Distillery, which is a must-have scene in the movie. The 30,000 is from the Chinese cigarette factory, and it also takes three seconds to close up. The remaining 20,000 is from Huawei mobile phones, which is used by the protagonist when calling his students, and the shots of a few seconds.

Although he had the support of the director department, it took Wang Meng a week to complete these tasks.

And, whether it is props, lighting, makeup, etc., it is sponsored by students and teachers from Shanghai Theatre Academy.

On the problem side of the venue is a small villa with beautiful scenery not far away.

The male protagonist in the film was originally played by Wang Mengxiang himself, but after seeing Director Lu paying attention to it, he gave up.

Besides, the male protagonist must look more mature.

After all, we have to play a middle-aged man in his forties.

What's more, Wang Meng knew that the popularity of this movie was not the actors, but the wonderful script.

Anyway, Wang Meng has never heard of the actors in "This Man from Earth" in his previous life. However, the director of this film has been praised for many years.

There are many opportunities, and it is important to be steady as a director for the first time.

Director Lu recommended several actors to Wang Meng, the protagonist of which asked Wang Meng whether Ren Quan is suitable or Lu Yi is suitable?

Wang Meng was shocked when she heard this, and she couldn't afford it. However, Director Lu said that they were all students who graduated from their own school and this scene would not take ten days, just give me 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

Finally, the two agreed that the male lead was Ren Quan.

This day...

"Director Lu, look at how Li Bingbing, the heroine who likes the male lead, uses Li Bingbing. They both have had experience in collaborating in many dramas, and I think it is very suitable."

Li Bingbing was not that popular in 2005, and the same is true in this world. Moreover, Ren Quan and Li Bingbing are recognized screen couples. Wang Meng thought that since she wanted to become bigger, she would be more willful.

Director Lu seems to be considering it too.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I think it's OK, it's also a student of our school, so she's the only one."

Wang Meng suddenly felt a little excited.

"How do you think of Zhao Youliang that psychologist?" Director Lu said.

When Wang Meng heard this, he was stunned. Zhao Youliang filmed his first movie "My Ten Classmates" in 1979. He then starred in "The Death of Qiubai", not to mention the wonderful performances in dramas such as "The Stunning Waves" and "Bloody Romance". He is also a national model of labor, advanced workers and other achievements.

However, although he is old, he is not very famous. In addition, he is currently working as a special assistant teacher in the theater, so it seems possible.

"As long as you always say you can," Wang Meng smiled and said, "I also met Teacher Zhao on the crew of "Miscellaneous Love for a Lifetime" some time ago. I think it's very suitable. After all, psychologists can be said to be an important role in addition to the protagonist."

"That's it."

"Also, I contacted Pan Hong for that female racist, and she said she was very interested, you can save this role."

"That Pan Hong?" Wang Meng was stunned.

"It's that Pan Hong."

Wang Meng no longer wants to say anything...

You should be right that is the performing artist born in Shanghai on November 4, 1954, and the first Chinese artist to appear in Time magazine.

From 1983 to 1994, he won the Best Actress Award for Four Golden Rooster Awards, the Three Golden Phoenix Awards and the Three Little Hundred Flower Awards, the One Hundred Flower Awards, the Huabiao Awards, the Shanghai Film Critics Awards and the China Changchun Film Festival, as well as the Damascus International Film Festival, the Taormina International Film Festival in Italy, and many other best actresses at home and abroad.

"Yes, of course, but you always know the budget."

"Go aside, people want your little money. Zhao Youliang and Pan Hong said that they were all friendly performances, so they gave me some face. You can just want to be willing to do it afterwards."

Wang Meng knew that Lao Lu owed a lot of favors for this movie. In fact, this old man is quite cute. He worked hard just to become a student.

Sometimes Wang Meng is also very strange. Why do other protagonists often encounter some bloody plots, and people always come to the face to slap them in the face.

Whether it is the elders or friends I met, they are not as stupid as they are. Maybe this is because they are still in school, or maybe they will be a different world after leaving this campus.

Wang Meng thought for a while, but in fact she was already very satisfied with such a lineup.

"What should we do if Director Lu, the remaining historian professors, biology professors, and archaeology professors? Do you always have any arrangements?"

These characters also require acting skills, but they are not the most outstanding.

"I'll help you contact these people. They are all teachers over 50 years old in our school. Don't be famous, you have absolutely no acting skills." Director Lu looked very confident and said, "As for the archaeologist's little girlfriend, you can just find the relocated workers of the two welfare homes by yourself. Is this the right to be a director?"

It is indeed the right to be a director. Although Lao Lu arranged 70% of the actors, it was a failure for the director.

However! Wang Meng doesn't think so.

Wang Meng feels that it is not only a matter of popularity, but also the most realistic and realistic problem.

"Okay, I have a clear mind. They are all students from our school, and I will contact them."

"You can do it, go and do it. Being a director is not easy, especially a director like you who has nothing...! Boy, experience it slowly, and if you experience it too much, you will succeed..."

Wang Meng said firmly: "Don't worry, I won't let you down..."

After the agreement, the actor's problem was roughly solved:

The male protagonist Ren Quan. The female protagonist Li Bingbing, psychologist Zhao Youliang, racialist Pan Hong, biologist Shang Opera teacher Hu Jinqiang, historian Shang Opera teacher Yu Chen, archaeologist Shang Opera teacher Ma Jianguo...
