Dong Xi was very excited after completing the script because it was his first action film.

 There is no irritation in the whole movie, it is a big-budget movie that combines action, comedy, cops and gangsters.

Of course, this large-scale production is only equivalent to his first two films, and Dong Xi did not have a preliminary budget at this time.

 But past experience gave him a hunch that the budget of this film would not be less than 8 figures.

"Xizi, wait a minute. Are you planning to make a theatrical movie?" When Dong Xi recited the plot to Han Bin with great interest, the other party became more and more excited as he listened.

 This is obviously a complete theatrical movie, the key is that he wanted it to be a simple advertisement.

“Of course, with such a good opportunity, this drama will be a good start for the company!” Dong Xi nodded. He felt that since he is entering commercial films at this stage, an excellent action comedy can definitely open up the market.

 At this time, Dong Xi's two films have grossed close to over 100 million at the domestic box office, which is considered a double win in terms of both word-of-mouth and box office.

However, they are not considered capable of making commercial films because the first two films have too much literary and artistic attributes and are box office hits that rely on awards.

If you don’t rely on awards and rely on word-of-mouth to slowly ferment, it is simply delusional in this era.

But this time, even without the bonus of awards, Dong Xi's three films are enough to attract audiences to the cinema just by his name.

 This is the benefit that fame brings.

Since Dong Xi wanted to film, Han Bin had no reason to refuse. After all, the company's main business is movies.

 He immediately flew to the capital to discuss specific plans with Dong Xi and Sun Haiping.

The three cobblers from Xizi Film and Television finally got together and began to study the preliminary preparations.

 Sun Haiping and the two had nothing to do with the script. Dong Xi not only completed the detailed script in one day, but also drew a lot of sub-shots overnight.

Although it’s too scrawly to read, you can vaguely tell that the protagonist is a muscular man.

“This guy plans to act on his own!” Sun Haiping and Han Bin looked at each other, showing a tacit understanding.

But neither of them have any opinions on this. Who is the most famous actor in the company?

It’s neither Xiao Taohong, the double-actor queen, nor Duan Yihong, the Venice Best Actor, but Dong Xi!

 Not to mention the bonus of being a director, the role of Bao Qingtian is enough for Dong Xi to leave his name in the history of domestic television.

 If nothing else goes wrong, he has already booked to play Shidi next year.

Of course, there are always surprises. For example, next year there will be no titles like Emperor Shi/Queen Shi.

  Dong Xi is very popular now, and there is no problem in starring in the leading role in movies.

 As for acting?

There is no need to worry about that.

 So what Han Bin and Sun Haiping have to do is to set up the crew.

 First of all, Han Bin put forward his opinion, since he planned to use the angel round investment from [Xi Cha] as a sponsorship for the filming of the film.

 Then it would be better to use it to set up a film company and then turn sponsorship into investment in the name of the company.

 In this way, you can not only avoid taxes reasonably, but also share the later benefits!

 The three of them discussed and established a film and television company located on Hong Kong Island in the name of Han Bin.

Han Bin serves as the general manager and legal person, while Xizi Film and Television is the shareholder hidden behind the scenes.

This film company called [Niu Niu Film and Television] has become the Hong Kong branch of Xizi Film and Television.

 The budget of this drama has also been initially determined at 25 million, with [Nuowu Film and Television] investing 10 million, accounting for 40%, and [Xizi Film and Television] investing 5 million, accounting for 20%.

 The remaining 40% is jointly invested by China Film and others. Because of the involvement of Hong Kong Island capital, it is still considered a co-production.

 Now that the script has been finalized and funds have been secured, only the actors have yet to be determined.

 In line with the principle that good news should not go to outsiders, several main actors will be selected by the company.

First of all, "Milk Tea Squad" is a drama about an ensemble cast. In addition to Dong Xi's absolute leading role, the remaining supporting roles are also outstanding.

 First of all, there is a five-person police force. Dong Xi plays the captain, a police officer who is over 30 years old but has no hope of promotion.

 Being exhausted due to the pressure of life and career.

The team members under him are all talented.

 Siyan: Even though he looks like a pretty guy with a pair of glasses, he is the most reliable person in the team.

 The King of Flowers: The star of the police force, with first-class figure and appearance, and many suitors.

 But he has a bad temper and is impulsive, and has an acting style that is completely inconsistent with his appearance.

Haitao: An ugly police officer whose mantra is to solve crimes with his head.

　　Disdainful of the violent Bawanghua, the two often clashed.

 The youngest: A new recruit to the police force. Although he is full of enthusiasm, he seems particularly stupid due to his lack of experience.

 Always needs someone else to wipe his butt.

Just five policemen with different styles formed the famous Criminal Police Detachment 33 of the police station.

 A special detachment with a high rate of solving crimes, but equally excellent ability to get into trouble.

 As for the candidates, Dong Xi had his own ideas when adapting the script.

 First of all, Zeng Li is completely qualified for the role of Overlord Flower. She is tall and athletic and her athletic ability is not bad. With a little training in fighting skills, she can fill this role.

Zeng Li herself has already been exposed to action scenes in Shaobao, and her performance was very good.

However, the action scenes in "Milk Tea Squad" are closer to actual combat, and Shaobao is just a routine.

Dong Xi hopes that Pan Yueming will play the role of Four Eyes, the brains behind the team. The appearance of Pan Yueming wearing glasses has already taken shape in Dong Xi's mind.

This is actually a very contrasting character. Although he looks polite, his ability to curse is top-notch and he is retired from the special forces. His combat effectiveness is second only to the captain.

The glasses are just an accessory for him.

As for the youngest team member, Wang Baoqiang plays the role. Although this guy doesn't look like a policeman, he is very malleable.

And the character is basically a scapegoat who gets into trouble.

As for the last member of the team, Haitao, Dong Xi plans to find someone from outside to play the role. This role is very demanding. First of all, he must not be too handsome, and secondly, he must have a sense of cheapness.

 In addition to the five leading actors, there are also many supporting roles, many of which are outstanding. Among them, Dong Xi, the biggest villain, plans to find a Hong Kong star to star.

 It is best to be a powerful person who is full of evil spirits.

 After the three people discussed it, Sun Haiping began to openly recruit actors.

 Just the words "Dong Xi's new play" are enough to cause shock in the entertainment industry.

 Now Dong Xi is undoubtedly one of the great directors. Although there is still some controversy in his low position, the controversy means that he has been recognized by some people.

Countless letters of recommendation were sent to Dong Xi’s desk, and there were also people trying to get a role through introductions from acquaintances.

 As Dong Xi's status improved, more and more people gathered around him, and a new circle gradually formed.

  Mainly composed of artists from the Xizi family and Qingniao family, and expanded outwards indefinitely.

 However, compared to the male-female balance of the Xizi family, the Qingniao family has a certain imbalance of yin and yang.

 Zhu Yuanyuan, Fan Bingbing, Cheng Hao and Wang Yan (Qinggege) who are barely half of the members.

Anyway, Dong Xi is a little green among thousands of flowers. Perhaps feeling the loneliness of a good brother, Duan Yihong also introduced two actors to audition for "Milk Tea Team".
Chapter completed!
