In Mr. Wang's heart, he believed that Xu Wenruo could create miracles. After all, Xu Wenruo has been a miracle all the way. It is incredible that a newcomer without the support of a large company behind him can achieve such achievements now.

Therefore, Mr. Wang has reason to believe that Xu Wenruo will succeed again. It’s just that Xingxun Pictures is not Mr. Wang’s company. He is just a senior worker. If such a large investment is required, the head office must make a decision.

"It's better to do this, Mr. Wang, we might as well continue to maintain the previous cooperation method. Just like in the previous movie, Xu Wenruo's studio is responsible for the production of the movie, and we are responsible for the promotion and distribution issues, so we don't have to take too many risks."

A vice president around Mr. Wang made his suggestion. Of course, compared to the comments just now, this suggestion is very moderate, which is equivalent to finding a compromise method that can not only guarantee returns but not take too much risks. For some people who do not want to take responsibility, this is indeed a good method.

But Mr. Wang sighed deeply when he heard this. He looked around for a week and saw that everyone agreed with this method, he didn't say much, because Mr. Wang knew that Xu Wenruo would definitely agree to this decision.

Because before, Mr. Wang took the initiative to increase the investment share of Xingxun Pictures when Xu Wenruo was filming the next movie. Xu Wenruo agreed to the investment method of each party to each take out a sum of funds, but now they have repented.

Mr. Wang didn't know what to say about this behavior of not wanting to take risks. He was not a strong leader, and he would not forcefully refute it when facing the same opinions from everyone.

Xu Wenruo, who was modifying the script in the living room of the villa, suddenly received a call from Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang's hearty laughter rang out in Xu Wenruo's ears again.

"Director Xu, where have you made a fortune recently?"

"Then I have time to get rich. I just came back from recording the variety show and I had to start filming. I didn't have time at all."

"Is the crew ready?"

"Well, when I set the actor down, I will be able to start shooting immediately."

Xu Wenruo was not exaggerating. Qi Yue was a workaholic. After the filming of the previous movie was completed, Qi Yue had already started preparing for the next movie.

Now that the preparations have been completed, I keep urging Xu Wenruo to come back and take pictures as soon as possible. April is already in progress. If the shooting can be completed as soon as possible, it will be just in time for the summer season.

In mid-March, Xu Wenruo's first movie "The Trick Expert" had just ended. In early April, Xu Wenruo was about to start the shooting task of the next movie, and the donkeys in the production team did not work like this.

But Xu Wenruo could feel Qi Yue's inner anxiety, so he could do what she wanted. Just be busy, be more busy.

"Oh, Director Xu, I'm very sorry. After the company's discussion, I didn't pass the resolution to expand the investment quota. I'm very sorry."

Mr. Wang told Xu Wenruo about Xingxun Film's decision, and his tone was still a little disappointed. After all, Mr. Wang believed from the bottom of his heart that Xu Wenruo could succeed. Now he invested more, he would make more money later. Unfortunately, it was useless for him to believe that the company was not his one-man show.

Xu Wenruo didn't have much thought after hearing this, because this was a completely good thing for him. Xingxun Pictures thought it was a risky act, but Xu Wenruo felt that he wanted Xingxun Pictures to expand its investment was to give them money. Since Xingxun Pictures did not appreciate it, Xu Wenruo had nothing to say.

"It's okay, we have sufficient funds and can complete the shooting tasks independently."

"That's like before, Fengqi Studio is responsible for making movies, and Xingxun Pictures is responsible for promoting and distributing them. How about it?"

"No problem, I'll ask Qi Yue to contact you later to determine the specific investment amount."

"Okay, I personally look forward to Director Xu's new work."

After hanging up the phone call with Mr. Wang, Xu Wenruo got up from the living room, walked to the door of the guest room, coughed gently, and then shouted in it.

"I'm out to work. Mr. Wang from Xingxun Pictures just called."

After a while, Qi Yue pushed the door out of the guest room. She looked at Xu Wenruo with a blank expression, without any embarrassment in the morning.

"Oh, what did he call and say?"

Qi Yue's expression was somewhat contemptuous. She knew very well what had happened before. Xingxun Pictures' behavior of not wanting to take responsibility was indeed unrighteous. When they made money together, their attitude was very low. They almost praised Xu Wenruo to the sky, but now they took a little risk and directly shrank their heads back.

This is the virtue of capital. It is no wonder that Qi Yue is so despised that he did not give him any good face when he heard Mr. Wang call him.

“They said they continued to maintain the previous model of collaboration, we were responsible for production, and they were responsible for publicity and distribution.”

"Okay, then let them be responsible for publicity and distribution, but the revenue share is definitely not that much. The 50 million promotion and distribution account for up to 20% of the investment recently."

Although Qi Yue's expression was very calm, Xu Wenruo knew that she was still very angry about Xingxun Pictures' escape, so she opened her mouth and ate 5% of Xingxun Pictures' profit share.

Qi Yue said that this attitude also means that the honeymoon period between Fengqi Studio and Xingxun Pictures has ended. Xingxun Pictures' escape this time has caused a crack in the relationship between the two parties.

In this regard, Xu Wenruo also understood that no matter how much money he helped Xingxun Pictures make, in their opinion, Xu Wenruo is an outsider and will not trust Xu Wenruo at all. For example, now that Xu Wenruo makes a little risky move, they immediately choose to protect themselves.

Understanding is understanding, Xu Wenruo also agreed with Qi Yue's approach. Since Xingxun Pictures regards interests so important, it is enough to just go on business. It doesn't want to take risks and get benefits. How can such a good thing be done in the world?

After going out with Qi Yue, the two of them parted ways at the film and television base. Qi Yue wanted to take people to complete the contract with Xingxun Pictures, while Xu Wenruo came to the film and television base to inspect how the scene was built.

In addition to most of the scenes in "A Chinese Odyssey" have to be located in Langya's film and television base, some of the outdoor scenes need to be arranged. For example, the scenes in the desert are difficult to shoot in the studio, so the crew has to go to the desert to shoot halfway.

Xu Wenruo has planned several locations. After inspecting the film and television base, he has to go around each of the filming sites. He wants to ensure that he can take pictures of the pictures he wants.

Two days later, Xu Wenruo came to the desert in the northwest and found the official relevant departments, and discussed the development of the tourism industry with them.

Due to his experience in exchange with Langya official, the discussion went very smoothly. Not only was Xu Wenruo's fame, but his successful experience in Langya, but more importantly, the resources in the northwest were too scarce, especially the Mobei, which was full of sand, which was even more poor and was very welcome. When he heard that someone wanted to invest, he would definitely welcome it.

After finalizing the cooperation agreement in the northwest desert and leaving two staff members to supervise the project, Xu Wenruo and the rest of the people returned home again.

When Xu Wenruo returns to Langya Film and Television Base again, he has to finalize the candidates for several major actors. For example, Xu Wenruo has already confirmed the role of Supreme Bao and Qi Yue plays Zixia Fairy, the role of others is not yet confirmed.

Xu Wenruo first considered Meng Da. Meng Da is now a signed actor at Fengqi Studio. Although he is his own person, Xu Wen should be more cautious if he wants to arrange the role. The roles that are more suitable for Meng Da are the two characters Second Head and Tang Seng. Although these two characters do not have many roles, the effect is not bad at all.

The only difference is that the second head of the family is that they have some scenes in the early stage, and they basically start to make a fuss. If Xu Wen wants to give Meng Da a better show, then the second head of the family is not a good choice.

Correspondingly, the role of Tang Monk is impressive. As soon as he appears, people remember the image of this long-lasting Tang Monk. There are also wonderful performances later, such as singing with Wukong in the cell, and talking directly to the two little monsters on the execution ground.

This is a very outstanding character. He is not as rich as outsiders. After thinking about it, Xu Wenruo still put Meng Da on the role of Tang Seng. Xu Wenruo believes that Meng Da will definitely be competent.

Then the second leader needs a suitable person to play, and the average person really can't play this role. He is the main supporting role in the early stage of "A Chinese Odyssey" and the source of joy in the early stage. You must find an experienced actor.

Xu Wenruo screened actors from his mind. He didn't know many actors at all. In the end, Xu Wenruo decided on one person, and then Xu Wenruo called him.

"Hey, is it Bogo?"

"It's me. Congratulations to Director Xu on the box office sales of the movie. Why did he come to me if he has time?"

"I'm preparing for a new movie. There is a role for other actors who may not be able to act. After thinking about it, I think it's only Bo Ge that you can control this. How about it? Is there a schedule?"

That's right, Xu Wenruo found a candidate that was Huang Bo. If other actors were asked to play the second leader, Xu Wenruo was still worried whether they could perform that kind of flavor, but if it was Huang Bo, Xu Wenruo was really not worried at all.

To be honest, it is really a bit of a waste of talent to let Huang Bo play the role of the second leader, but Xu Wenruo has no other way. He doesn't know other actors anymore, so he can only ask Huang Bo with shameless face.

"I said why do you always hear magpies chirping in the morning? It turned out that Director Xu came to me to film. If someone else asked, there would be no schedule. But Director Xu came to ask, I would definitely be available."

Huang Bo was very happy when he heard Xu Wenruo come to him to film, and couldn't help but grin. However, even though Huang Bo, who was good at speaking, wanted to agree, he still chose to make a joke with Xu Wenruo.

"You agreed that I will wait for you at the film and television base."

"No problem. I'm idle at home recently. Where to shoot, I'll rush over in two days."

"In Langya, when you arrive, I will send someone to pick you up."

After hearing Huang Bo agreeing to the invitation, Xu Wenruo was also very happy. With Huang Bo joining, Xu Wenruo became more confident in the filming of the movie.

"Langya City, I'm not far away. I'll arrive in a few hours after driving. So that's it. I'll go and have a look tomorrow. Director Xu, will you take care of lunch tomorrow?"

"Of course I'm responsible for the meal. Come and try the skills of our crew chef. This is someone I specially invited. Tomorrow I will ask him to prepare some special dishes and get some fresh seafood. I will definitely not treat Bogo's badly."

"Then the relationship is so good. I'm drooling. I want to drive there now."

After arranging the time and place with Huang Bo, Xu Wenruo hung up the phone and solved the candidate for the second in command. Now the first thing he was the two actresses, one was Bai Jingjing, who had an emotional entanglement with Supreme Treasure, and the other was Chun Sanshiniang, a very important character in the early stage.

Xu Wenruo currently has two candidate actresses, one is Wei Ying, who has worked together before, and the other is Yang Zi who had negotiated at the Mushroom House. Xu Wenruo thought about it carefully. It was a bit reluctant to play these two fairies according to the ages of Yang Zi and Wei Ying, but Xu Wenruo had already sent an invitation before, so let them try it.

These two actresses, who are child stars, have longer experience on the set than Xu Wenruo. Maybe they can really fulfill Xu Wenruo's requirements. As for the specific effect they can achieve, it depends on their ability.

In addition to the roles of Bai Jingjing and Chun Shisanniang, there is another female character who needs to find a famous actor to play. This is the wife of Bull Demon King Princess Iron Fan. The only requirement for this character is that the young woman’s wife.

However, Xu Wenruo didn't know this type of actor at all. It seemed that he had to recruit publicly, but he definitely couldn't write about the young woman's wife. Otherwise, others would think that Xu Wenruo had any bad habits. If he was regarded as a Cao thief, it would be more than worth the loss. Xu Wenruo is a gentleman and swears to be irreconcilable to Cao thief!

It recruits actresses around thirty years old, with mature charm, diverse demeanor, beautiful and graceful actresses.

In addition to this, the only famous characters are Bodhi Patriarch. Xu Wenruo plans to hand over this role to Qiao Shan. Although Qiao Shan seems a little philistine, his comedy skills are still very solid. Xu Wenruo thinks that the role of Bodhi Patriarch is very suitable for Qiao Shan.

In this way, the main characters in "A Chinese Odyssey" have been given by Xu Wenruo. These are roughly these people, and the rest are some extras. These people are easy to find, and they catch most of them in the film and television base.
Chapter completed!
