With two celebrity bosses, Andy Lau and Cao Jun, supporting him, Ning Hao's back can't be strengthened.

Especially Andy Lau's famous name. When Ning Hao was looking for actors, he wanted to put the three words "Andy Lau" on his forehead.

After receiving 2 million from Cao Jun, Ning Hao tried to call Guo Tao again. The salary he offered Guo Tao was still 100,000 yuan.

Although this drama had an extra 2 million yuan in funding, Ning Hao still saved as much as he could because there were so many places where money was needed.

Guo Tao still thought it was too little, so Ning Hao told him: "It's quite a lot. This is already the highest salary for our crew." Guo Tao felt balanced now and immediately agreed to come and star.

That night, Wang Xun came home at midnight and it was already 12 o'clock. When he went to the toilet, he received a call from the director of the troupe, saying that a movie invested by Andy Lau had taken a liking to him.

Wang Xun was quite puzzled: "Does Andy Lau know who I am? How could he come to me?"

This is the shrewdness of Ning Hao. In order to find suitable actors smoothly, he has always used Andy Lau's golden name to support himself. As long as Andy Lau's name is mentioned, he can basically scare the opponent.

The next day, because of Andy Lau's reputation, Wang Xun went to audition according to the address they provided.

As a result, Wang Xun was stunned as soon as he went there. It was a very small room.

It's like a student dormitory, with a bed in the middle and no room for people to stand on either side. There were more than 10 people inside at first glance.

Wang Xun knew both of them, they were both little-known actors in the local circle. Ning Hao took the DV and started auditioning.

What bothered Wang Xun was that I was one of the top ten laughing stars in Bashu and had a certain influence in Chengdu. If I was asked to act in this role, I would be just a member of the grass-stage cast. What they said about Andy Lau must be a lie.

Wang Xun finished speaking impatiently and left quickly. Unexpectedly, Ning Hao said to Wang Xun, "Teacher Wang, when the filming officially starts, you don't need to add any performances. You are in the best condition for the audition this time."

Very good.”

At this time, Huang Bai had just graduated from school and was introduced by a friend. The salary was only 10,000 yuan. Ning Hao thought that Huang Bai couldn't come.

After reading the script, he agreed immediately.

Later, Ning Hao contacted Liu Hua, a veteran actor, and invited him to play Brother Dao. Although he is a big name, Liu Hua is one of the few actors in the entire crew who is somewhat famous.

Ning Hao said: "It took two months to shoot, which is probably more than 30 scenes."

Liu Hua asked: "How much is the salary?"

Ning Hao: “25,000!”

Liu Hua said: "You are using money to curse people! I need at least 100,000 yuan to film a TV series in Beijing for two months. You just give me this little, 80,000 yuan. There is really no budget, the minimum is 70,000 yuan."

Ning Hao told the truth: "I really have no money."

Liu Hua said: "Let's not be like shopping for groceries. You say a price and I will bargain. This is too messy. You just say what is your maximum budget?"

Ning Hao: "25000."

Liu Hua hung up the phone with a bang. This was too shabby. If I accept this role, how will I calculate my remuneration for other roles in the future?

I thought the matter would just go away, but a few days later, the assistant director called him again, and he only said three words: "Did it go up?" The other party said: "No." Liu Hua hung up again.

It's useless to say.

Three days later, the assistant director called again. Before Liu Hua could say anything, the assistant director started crying: "Brother Hua, you must come! The director and the producer are about to start a fight. The director said

If you don’t come, this film won’t be made!”

Liu Hua thought to herself, am I really that important?

In fact, as producers, Andy Lau and Cao Jun did not come to the crew at all. Ning Hao also directed and acted in this film.

After all, he is a director, so for Ning Hao, this kind of showmanship is a piece of cake.

The other party then said, "Just think of it as a vacation. The little brothers here are very interesting. Just think of it as making friends."

Liu Hua is a person with a hard mouth and a soft heart, and he accepts the soft words rather than the hard words. People praise him so highly that it is hard for him to refuse anymore.

In this way, with a salary of 25,000 yuan, Ning Hao still hired the veteran actor Liu Hua.

It was a coincidence that Xu Zhengneng came to film. Originally, Ning Hao asked his wife Tao Hong to play Brother Dao's girlfriend.

As a result, the script was seen by Xu Zheng. He was in need of a transformational film, so he agreed to star in it for free.

It is worth mentioning that in the script of "Crazy Stone", there are two supporting female characters, one is the wife of the male protagonist Bao Shihong, and the other is Brother Dao's girlfriend Jingjing.

Ning Hao also has his own ideas for these two female roles. For example, Ning Hao wants to invite Tao Hong to play the role of wife, and Ning Hao wants to invite Fan Bingbing to play the role of Brother Dao's girlfriend Jingjing.

When Cao Jun learned about Ning Hao's thoughts, he said nothing and only cursed in his heart: "Go and eat history!"

You know, Tao Hong is a golden rooster, a double Best Actress from Huabiao, and Fan Bingbing has just won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress. She is the 10th female star in China's Forbes Celebrity List, even higher than Cao Jun, who is ranked 14th.

.

Ning Hao really dared to think that he actually wanted to invite two popular first-line female stars to be in his small, low-cost film. For those who didn't know, he thought they were Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kai.

The problem is that Ning Hao is just a nobody now, and Tao Hong and Fan Bingbing don't take him seriously.

Ning Hao was well aware of this, so he thought of asking Xu Zheng to invite his wife Tao Hong, and Cao Jun to invite Fan Bingbing.

After dealing with Ning Hao several times, Cao Jun had a certain understanding of his character. Ning Hao seemed to be an honest person, but he was actually quite a thief at heart!

On the phone, Ning Hao asked expectantly: "Xiao Cao, are you familiar with Fan Bingbing?"

Cao Jun told the truth: "I'm not familiar with her. Like you, I've only seen her on TV."

Ning Hao didn't give up, and then asked: "Then can you contact me for me?"

Cao Jun was doing some exercise with Zeng Li and had no time to talk to him, so he answered simply: "No!"

"Xiao Cao, please help me. You are also one of the producers of our movie. If you can invite Fan Bingbing, you will definitely increase the box office of our movie..."

On the phone, Ning Hao chattered a lot, but Cao Jun turned a deaf ear to it. He even put the phone aside and made out with Zeng Li at the side.

When Ning Hao said he was tired and hung up the phone, Zeng Li asked, "Who is it?"

Cao Jun smiled and replied: "A film director."

Zeng Li was very curious and asked: "Why are you ignoring him?"

Cao Jun told Zeng Li exactly what happened.

Unexpectedly, after Cao Jun finished speaking, Zeng Li became very interested in the movie "Crazy Stone" and immediately asked, "Can I read the script?"

After just finishing a fight with Zeng Li, Cao Jun felt a little tired and wanted to take a rest, so he took the script that Ning Hao had sent him to Zeng Li and said, "Look, the script is very exciting. You should feel it."

interest."

After reading the script of the movie "Crazy Stone", Zeng Li leaned in Cao Jun's arms and asked tentatively: "How about... you let me play the role of Jingjing?"

Cao Jun asked in confusion: "You are also the leading female lead in the movie "The Sweeney". What's the point of playing a supporting actress again?"

Zeng Li didn't care. What she liked most was the script. As for the casting, she didn't care too much. She mainly wanted to challenge herself and try out various roles.

Facing Cao Jun's question, Zeng Li said: "I think the script is quite interesting, and since this is a movie you invested in, I want to... help you."

Cao Jun smiled and joked: "No, you don't need to do anything in this movie. You just need to put more effort in bed. Don't let me move all the time."

Hearing what Cao Jun said, Zeng Li hit him, and said with shame and anger: "You are so annoying, I am talking serious to you, and you still make fun of me! If you feel tired, then don't touch me in the future!"

"

Cao Jun knew he was in the wrong and hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, don't be angry. I'm just joking. Why are you so anxious?"
