After returning to the company, Shen Qingrou and others left separately, while Chen Mo and Nie Wenjie arrived at the reception room.
Now that he knew the other party's intention, Chen Mo didn't mince words: "Actor Nie wants to participate in "Water Moon Cave". It is an honor for our small company. You can read the script first and feel which role you are suitable for." .”
After saying that, he handed over the script, completely ignoring the slightly surprised look in the other's agent's eyes.
While Nie Wenjie was reading the script, Xie Lan also rushed over after receiving the news. She and the former were considered acquaintances and recognized him at a glance.
"Did Actor Nie personally deliver it to your door?"
"Yeah, at first I thought you were the one who invited me here, Sister Lan!"
Chen Mo and Xie Lan murmured quietly, both very curious about the self-recommended celebrity in front of them. Logically speaking, given the other party's status, he only needs to contact his agent, and there is absolutely no need to make the trip in person.
After a while, Nie Wenjie put the script on the coffee table and sighed.
The script Chen Mo showed him not only included the complete plot of "Water Moon Cave", but also some requirements for actors. He found that he, a great actor, could not meet the requirements.
He really likes the male protagonist Tong Bo, but now he is thirty-five!
Seeing this, Chen Mo picked up the mineral water in front of him and took a sip, then looked at Nie Wenjie and said, "Nie Wenjie, what do you think of the character Yin Zhong in the script?"
"Yin Zhong? The biggest villain in the play, but he can also be regarded as a tragic figure..."
As Nie Wenjie expressed his understanding of Yin Zhong, Chen Mo's eyes became brighter and brighter. He carefully looked at the former's image and felt that it was very consistent.
Feeling his gaze, the former also reacted.
"Mr. Chen, you don't want me to play the role of Yin Zhong, right? This... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, my image of a beautiful tree is not suitable for playing a 540-year-old monster!"
"Um... Yin Zhong's performance in the play is only a little over forty, and I think Actor Nie has a very good understanding of the role of Yin Zhong. If you play the role, you can make this character more full and enrich Nie Best actor, your acting experience."
"That's right, Best Actor Nie, you know our Mr. Chen is going to play the role of Yin Xiu!"
Xie Lan's very appropriate words made Nie Wenjie look at Chen Mo in surprise: "Mr. Chen wants to play Yin Xiu? I remember his performance in the play is that of a man over a hundred years old!"
"I don't have much time, and I also want to challenge my acting skills."
Hearing what Chen Mo said, Nie Wenjie immediately became interested. He knew that the former had strong singing and songwriting skills, but he had never heard of the other party's acting skills.
As for the script this time, he also thought that Xingluo Entertainment bought it from a big screenwriter.
After thinking about what Chen Mo said just now, Nie Wenjie made a decision: "If Mr. Chen is determined to play the role of Yin Xiu, then what's the harm in me playing the role of Yin Zhong?"
At this moment, he actually had the idea to compete with the young man in front of him.
And although Yin Zhong is not the male protagonist, he does have a lot of scenes. The character's time runs through the entire plot, and the villain hides the male protagonist properly.
"Hahaha, I believe that Actor Nie will not be disappointed by my suggestion. Happy cooperation!"
“Happy to work with!”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xie Lan and Nie Wenjie's managers also walked out of the reception room at this moment. The next thing they should discuss.
After signing the contract, Chen Mo and Xie Lan found the preliminary crew.
After Zhou Hui and Cheng Fei's unremitting efforts, they finally hired Xihuang Entertainment's photographer Zhang Chao, stylist Zhou Yuan, and post-production editor He Huihuang. Together with him, the director and screenwriter, and Cheng Fei, The crew has taken shape.
After sitting down in the small conference room, Chen Mo said directly: "I just had an idea. Let's look for actors for "Water Moon Cave" and we can divide our forces into two groups. Sister Lan and I are mainly looking for martial arts actors, while the rest of the crew Cheng Fei will take the lead in interviewing other roles."
"Mr. Chen, your idea is very good, but although we are all members of the crew, none of us have done a deep study of the script. You asked us to go for an interview..."
"Don't worry about this. We naturally can't have just such a small crew in our crew. You're only equivalent to a producer at most."
Chen Mo knew very well that Cheng Fei was worried about his identity, because he himself also wanted to participate in the show, so the crew needed at least one assistant director, and he already had a candidate in mind.
Hearing his words, Cheng Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in order to complete the task assigned by his boss, he has already begun to read the script crazily. Who asked him to take the lead here? If the actor interviewed is not good, he will be the first to be shocked.
After the short meeting, Chen Mo made a phone call.
"Hahaha, brother Chen, why did you remember to call me today?" Jiang Chunian's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Mo smiled: "Brother Jiang, I'm here to ask you for help. It's like this. You must also know our company's shooting plan. The crew is still short of at least one assistant director, so why not come here?" Have you asked Brother Jiang to cooperate?"
"Assistant director? So, Brother Chen, you are going to be the director yourself?"
"Well, "Water Moon Cave Sky" is the first play I wrote and directed, but because the company is a start-up, the manpower is limited!"
After hearing Chen Mo's explanation, Jiang Chunian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Our director family lacks everything except directors. Tell me, who do you like? I will send him here right now."
"Thank you, brother. I think brother Zhou Chengzhi is very good. The variety show "Sound on the Scene" directed by him is very popular now."
"Are you talking about Xiao Zhou? He is indeed good, and Brother Chen also has a very good taste!"
He still has an impression of Zhou Chengzhi and Jiang Chunian, and he is also very optimistic about the former's potential, otherwise he would not have arranged to meet Chen Mo in the first place.
Since the other party is interested in the former, he has no reason to refuse at all.
"Brother Chen, Xiao Zhou is still in Songcheng, so you can just contact him directly. As for the cooperation contract, you can come to Yancheng when you have time and let's get together. If you are really busy, we can fax the contract to sign. also."
"That's no problem. When I come to Yancheng in a few days, I must have a few drinks with my brother."
"Hahaha, remember what you said, brother, I am said to be able to drink a thousand cups, so we have to drink to our heart's content."
After finishing the conversation with Jiang Chunian, Chen Mo looked at Xie Lan with a smile: "Our crew's assistant director has been taken care of. As for the rest of the crew, let sister-in-law Zhou Hui handle it. If it can save us, we can save it."
"Not bad, you are acting like a family member!"
Xie Lan had a satisfied smile on her face. In fact, she had been a little worried since the company was established.
Fortunately, Chen Mo not only has strength, but also has a very stable mentality. He is not erratic because of his strength and achievements.
"Sister Lan, please stop teasing me. We have to go out for a run tomorrow. Since no suitable actor comes to our door, we will hire him ourselves."
"No problem, who can refuse a trip at public expense?"
