Lin Nan made a lot of changes to the play "The Thief".

A multi-person portrait scene, the background is China and Hong Kong Island.

In this context, the final thing to be stolen is the national treasure-level cultural relic.

Among the two teams, Liu Dehua will be the captain of one of them.

Yue Jun knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Is there any news from Jackie Chan?" Lin Nan put down the script in his hand.

Yue Jun spread his hands, shook his head and said:

"After consultation with his team, he felt that the group portrait scene would affect the status of the eldest brother, even if he is a central character like a protagonist.

In addition, they feel that the salary has been reduced too much and is not in line with their worth."

Lin Nan was mentally prepared for this result.

At this moment, a phone call came, "Jackie Chan?"

"Hello, brother?"

"Haha, Director Lin, I have to talk to you about the movie.

In fact, I wanted to take it, but the company has a lot of people to support. I really have no choice but to wait until next time, but I also want to thank you for thinking of me..."

Jackie Chan made the right call. As expected, he has been through this for so many years and understands that benevolence and righteousness cannot be achieved without buying and selling.

After explaining the reasons and establishing emotional contact, he also recommended his son to Lin Nan and said that if there was a suitable role, he would be given a chance to audition.

It's easy to talk about anything on the phone.

Lin Nan thought, if Jackie Chan can't do it, then let's replace him. The captains of the two teams should at least be of similar rank.

Lin Nan had thought about mainland China being able to play a leading role in commercial films with this theme, but there were no schedules for any of them.

"Go help me contact Liang Jiahui."

Lin Nan said to Yue Jun. The latter responded and went out.

Some people don't need to audition, like Andy Lau and Leung Ka Fai. Lin Nan can imagine the situation during filming, and they are definitely qualified.

…

The crew of "Xiu Chun Knife" is now only missing one female lead.

There is no need to find lighting, photography and other personnel from outside, we can directly use our own people.

These people are all veterans. It is not difficult for them to switch from filming TV series to movies, but the techniques and requirements have changed.

Lu Yang settled for the next best thing. Since he couldn't find the best, he chose Yang Mi.

At least she has the title of one of the Four Little Actresses and has a lot of fans, which should help the box office.

When the latter received Lu Yang's call, his mind went blank for a moment, and then he became excited and full of thanks.

"Thank you, Director Lu, I will definitely act seriously..."

"Well, bring your agent and come over as soon as possible to sign the contract. The filming will start next month."

"Okay, thank you, Director Lu. I'll go there in the afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi's excitement wore off and she thought of the producer of the movie.

"Liu Yifei? It's just self-esteem, the role is the most important..."

Yang Mi is also someone who refuses to admit defeat. They are all of the same age, so why are others doing so well?

"After taking this step, there will be a second step and a third step...Sooner or later I will surpass everyone!"

Lu Yang announced the complete casting list for "Xiu Chun Dao".

The choice of Yang Mi as the heroine surprised many people, but they immediately understood.

After "Sword and Sword III", she is the most popular among young actresses.

Liu Yifei is not included in the comparison. She is considered by the industry to be at a higher price than her peers, and now she has even started producing.

…………

Congratulatory text messages and phone calls from some classmates and friends came one after another, which made Yang Mi enjoy this feeling very much.

Inside the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone can feel that Cai Yinong is in a very bad mood today.

As for the reason, everyone can guess it. The default "first sister" in the company lost to the "white-eyed wolf" in Mr. Cai's mouth.

"The company still has several TV series to be produced in the future. You should work steadily for a year or two first..."

Cai Yinong looked at the people in front of him and sighed helplessly. He didn't even have a chance with "Xiu Chun Dao", and even less dared to think about Lin Nan's new movie.

Liu Shishi nodded. She still remembered Director Lu Yang's comments during the audition: non-scientific actors have weak basic skills...

…

Lin Nan has no opinion on Lu Yang's choice of Yang Mi.

Perhaps it was the box office performance of Guo Ban's "Source Code" that stimulated Lu Yang, who started to consider these relatively famous young actresses when choosing the heroine.

The casting requirements for "Thieves" have been sent out.

The requirements for male characters are pretty good.

Anyone with good appearance, moderate figure and proven film and television works can submit their audition resume.

When it comes to actresses, it's much more interesting.

In addition to needing an older and capable supporting actress.

The other most important female character is actually limited to around 27 to 35 years old, with outstanding temperament, good figure, mature and elegant...

…

As soon as this casting request came out, the Internet and the industry immediately became uneasy.

"Sexy and mature, a mature lady?"

"Director Lin, are you thinking too much? But it's a bit bad to say it openly, isn't it?"

"If Director Lin Nan didn't have any gossip, what would I think he was going to do?"

"It didn't happen before, but it can happen now, haha..."

…

Looking at the discussions online, Lin Nan wanted to laugh, but luckily nothing was too crooked.

For those in the industry, the casting requirements have come out, which means auditions and competition have begun.

The film bureau added fuel to the fire and announced the information about "The Thief".

""League of Thieves", a commercial crime action film.

Produced by: Lin Nan Pictures, China Film, Wanda Pictures.

Director: Lin Nan; Screenwriter: Lin Nan."

Now, everyone felt at ease, and a large number of audition resumes were submitted.

After Ren Zhonglun said hello to Lin Nan before, he heard that he and Han Sanping were having disagreements these days. They are old friends and old enemies!

"Director Lin Nan, I am Liang Jiahui."

Lin Nan was quite surprised that the other party actually called him personally.

I remember that the two of them exchanged contact information last time at the Berlin Film Festival.

"Hi, Liang Sheng. Have you seen the script?"

"I have read the script, and I am honored to work with Director Lin on this film..."

…

After the call ended, Lin Nan felt relieved.

It doesn't matter without Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and Tony Leung Ka Fai are enough.

More and more audition resumes were sent in, and Liu Yifei came to check them out whenever she had something to do.

Since she came here once, she has become familiar with the business. No one is surprised when the boss lady enters her company.

An actress sent her resume, and it really came with a sexy photo album. She was speechless and was rejected by Liu Yifei...

"Director Lin, let me recommend an actor to you, who will play the older supporting actress."

The area on Hong Kong Island is now like a shallow beach with no waves.

However, Liu Dehua took the initiative to recommend Lin Nan, which the latter did not expect.

"Which one?" Lin Nan asked curiously.
