Chapter 68 Directors Meeting

"Congratulations to Donkey for obtaining the silver attribute entry: Parrot Mimicry!"

"Parrot imitates speech. This skill is hard to describe. I can only say that Donkey Bao's tongue is extremely agile. Please be careful when developing this skill!"

Shen Lang: "..."

Old donkey? Are you teaching me how to do things?
Shen Lang is developing new skills:

I ride a donkey up the mountain, and I ride a donkey down the mountain... (I do think it's quite fluent, after all, it's a silver attribute, let's try speeding it up...)
"I ride on a donkey when I go up the mountain, and I ride on a donkey when I go down the mountain; I ride on a donkey when I go up the mountain, and I ride on a donkey when I go down the mountain..." (It works, I'm excited...read it ten times faster...)
"I ride a donkey when I go up the mountain, and I ride a donkey when I go down the mountain; I ride a donkey when I go up the mountain, and I ride a donkey when I go down the mountain!" (Hey! Is this 315? I report that a donkey rode me...)
What kind of shit attribute?
Old donkey, I'm talking to you, come out and explain yourself...

……

Shen Lang finally understood that his system was sick and had intermittent seizures. It was bad enough that it gave things without instructions, but it was also evasive in its descriptions. What a waste!
He had just arrived home and hadn't even had a sip of water when the phone rang again. He thought it was another media reporter asking for an interview, but it turned out to be Ning Hao calling.

Judging from the time, Ning Hao should have contacted me.

"Teacher Shen, are you in the capital? Mr. Han and I would like to arrange a meeting between you and Peng Mo to discuss the casting of the script!"

Explorer Shen Lang switched to working mode in a second: "Director Ning invited me, so I must have time! Where is it? I will be responsible for contacting Peng Mo!"

……

Half an hour later, Shen Lang parked his shared bicycle in front of a private club.

When we arrived at the door, the doorman in a well-tailored suit said politely, "Hello, Mr. Shen, welcome to Linhu Cottage. Mr. Han is already waiting for you at Dicuixuan. Please keep walking inside after you enter the door. Our service staff will take you to the private room!"

Shen Lang glanced at the two guys at the door. It must be said that Han Ping, a rich man, really knows how to enjoy life. In such a high-end place, even the doorman is so excellent.

When the two doormen saw Shen Lang looking at them, they bowed slightly, extended their hands and invited him in.

Shen Lang walked into the yard with satisfaction, but before he had gone far, he vaguely heard the two doormen's voices behind him:

"Is he the one who studies foreign languages?"

"It's a must, Chinese Batman, da da da da da ..."

After hearing this, Shen Lang staggered and took back what he had just said.

As soon as I walked into Dicuixuan, I found Peng Mo already sitting inside chatting with Han and Ning.

When the three saw Shen Lang, they quickly stood up and greeted him.

Han Ping smiled and said, "Teacher Shen, I really admire you. Whatever you play, it becomes a hit. You are amazing!"

Ning Hao sighed, "In our country, there are fewer and fewer actors like Teacher Shen! It is my honor to work with Teacher Shen!"

Peng Mo nodded when he heard this: "Among the investment conditions proposed by Mr. Liu, the only one is to invite Mr. Shen, which I think is the most reasonable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the box laughed.

When everyone sat down, Han Ping said, "Teacher Peng, I'm really sorry about the funding issue. Mr. Liu and I have invested in a lot of movies and TV series recently, so our working capital is very tight!"

Ning Hao, the director, smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I feel quite stressed out, having to build a temple in a snail shell!"

Seeing that everyone was talking about the difficulties first, Shen Lang encouraged everyone: "Although the cost is small, the script and director are first-rate. As long as we work hard, we can definitely make a masterpiece!"

Ning Hao nodded: "Teacher Shen, in fact, you are the one with the most pressure in the entire crew right now! You are the casting director of our group. It can be said that our work at this stage is all centered around you! Regarding the selection of actors for the movie, do you have any plans?"

Shen Lang thought for a moment: "King Liu has already booked the role of the international thief Mike. I heard that it is a veteran actor from Hong Kong Island named Li Jing!"

"I would like to invite Mr. Han to play the role of Xiaojun in Dao Ge's gang!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Han Ping pointed at his nose and asked, "Me?"

Shen Lang smiled and nodded.

Han Ping is actually a bit similar to Li Jie. Although he is very rich, his appearance is really hard to describe.

Not only is he as thin as a monkey, but when he speaks, his nasolabial folds are particularly deep.

This person looks very similar to the actor who played Xiaojun in Shen Lang's previous life.

In fact, Shen Lang didn't think of letting Han Ping play this role at first.

Just a few days ago, when he was recalling who played the role of Xiaojun, a piece of news he had seen emerged in his memory. The news was an interview with the main creative staff of "Stone". It mentioned that because the crew had no money to hire actors, the producer of "Stone" finally played this role as a guest star.

Shen Lang immediately thought of Han Ping, and compared him with the Xiaojun in the movie he remembered. Hey, it’s true that the two look quite similar.

Han Ping invested in movies not only to make money, but more importantly because he loves this industry. When he heard that Shen Lang had arranged a role for him, he almost fainted with excitement. He patted his chest and promised on the spot: "I will definitely play this role well. Teacher Shen, you are my benefactor!"

Ning Hao then said, "I have a candidate in mind for the security chief Bao Shihong, the artist Wu Hao under Orange Entertainment!"

When Peng Mo heard that it was Wu Hao, he nodded on the spot and said, "This is a great choice. Bao Shihong is from Sichuan Province in the script, and Wu Hao is from Sichuan Province. There is no problem with the dialect lines, and he is very similar to the Bao Shihong in my mind in terms of temperament!"

The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, but at this moment Han Ping suddenly coughed, interrupting their conversation.

Ning Hao asked doubtfully, "Does President Han have any objections to this candidate?"

Han Ping looked at Shen Lang awkwardly. At this moment, they both remembered that Long Zetian, the boss of Orange Entertainment, had had an affair with Shen Lang's ex-wife Lin Jiaer.

Discussing this matter in front of Shen Lang, it seems...

Shen Lang saw everyone looking at him, and he understood, so he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Lin Jiaer and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Just think about the movie!"

Ning Hao was grateful when he heard this: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your understanding."

The entertainment circle is actually very small, and you can easily meet acquaintances by going around in circles. Ning Hao happened to know Long Zetian, so he gave him a call.

"Hello, Mr. Long, I'm Ning Hao!"

"I don't come here for no reason. It just so happens that there's a role in the movie that we'd like to invite your company's artist Wu Hao to play!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the protagonist, the male lead!"

"Mr. Long, you are too polite, but I have a small matter to mention to you. Although Wu Hao is the protagonist in this play, the budget of the crew is a bit small."

"One hundred thousand!"

"Hey, Mr. Long, don't be angry, we can still talk about this."

“Boss Long, Boss Long, hello…hello…”

Ning Hao put down the phone with a dark face and said awkwardly: "Wu Hao can't come!"

Just then, Shen Lang's phone rang: "Hello, I've read the script. There are two roles in it. I can recommend some people for you."

The call was from Gu Jialan. Shen Lang was delighted when he heard it and said, "The boss is awesome. Who is it?"

"Starring Bao Shihong and Jingjing!"

"You should know the people I recommend, Guo Tao and Tao Zi!"
