Guo Tianzhen really needed this job, so he opened his mouth cautiously to see if he could calm Miss Ye's anger, otherwise the consequences might be disastrous.
"Brother Guo, she is kidding me!"
Shen Mu was also a little bit dumbfounded, because he acted like a big sister like you Ye Lan and refused to call your sister anything, so he turned his head and explained to Guo Tianzhen.
"It's just that you can't tell that we are flirting?"
Then Ye Lan said something even more powerful, which shocked the Guo family and his son. They secretly wondered why they couldn't keep up with the young lady's pace.
However, Guo Tianzhen finally felt relieved, as long as the big boss was not angry with him, otherwise even Director Shen might not be able to suppress him.
"Stop talking nonsense. You haven't answered me yet. How about letting them play Commander Meng and Fei Liu?"
Shen Mu curled his lips, as if he was used to Ye Lan's teasing, and then brought the topic back to business, making Guo Tianzhen and his son prick up their ears nervously.
It is certainly the director's right to choose actors for a crew, but if the big boss is not satisfied, the director may give him some face, so Ye Lan's first impression is particularly important.
When Guo Tianzhen and his son saw Ye Lan's gaze directed towards him again, they subconsciously straightened their backs, as if even the injuries on their backs had eased a lot.
"The image is really good, but in terms of acting..."
Ye Lan, who looked at her for a moment, nodded slightly, then turned his attention back to Shen Mu and said, "You have to take care of matters regarding actors. My sister believes in your vision!"
After these words were spoken, Guo Tianzhen and his son both breathed a sigh of relief.
They made up their minds to perform well in the subsequent official auditions and try not to disappoint these two talents.
"Then let's settle it!"
Shen Mu nodded, then remembered something and asked, "The preliminary work is almost ready. The next step is for the crew to move in. Have you found an office space?"
"Well, the film and television base takes special care of the crew. They dedicated a large floor for us to work in, and also prepared two or three sleeping rooms!"
When it came to business, Ye Lan acted like a capable and capable woman, and she was heard saying: "But the accommodation of other actors and staff will have to be arranged outside!"
"I have to buy all the office supplies for the office in the next few days, and I may have to hire two handymen. The crew has too many things to do, so I can't do everything myself!"
Ye Lan thought very carefully, and when she mentioned that she wanted to hire two handymen, Shen Mu nodded slightly, and the Guo father and son next to him looked at each other.
"Sister Lan, Director Shen, if we are here, why should we invite outsiders? Just leave it to me and Lei Zi!"
Guo Tianzhen was worried that this opportunity came too easily. Now he finally found a reason. He always felt that if he didn't do something, he would be sorry for this opportunity.
"Brother Guo is injured, it's better to rest in peace!"
Shen Mu glanced at Guo Tianzhen, but he knew that the other person's injury was not serious. It might not heal after three to five days. After that, he would have to play the role of Commander Meng. This was business.
"I'll rest for a few days, but Lei Zi still has some strength. Sister Lan and Director Shen can do whatever they want!"
Guo Tianzhen spoke and pushed Guo Lei out. In order to show his strength, the latter even wiped his sleeves.
"Isn't it... using child labor bad?"
Ye Lan glanced at Guo Lei's still somewhat immature face. After saying these words, even Guo Tianzhen felt guilty in his heart.
"Sister Lan is joking again. How can there be such a thing as child labor in the entertainment industry?"
Guo Tianzhen was a little dumbfounded when he heard him say: "Besides, I am his guardian. As long as I agree, what else can others dare to say?"
What Guo Tianzhen did, actually had another meaning, that is, Director Shen just said that Guo Lei would also be given a role. This would help settle the matter, right?
Perhaps because he was used to being looked down upon, Guo Tianzhen always felt that what happened today was a bit like a dream and not very safe.
If you don't do something, you probably won't be able to fall asleep when you go back to bed.
"Then let's do this for now!"
Shen Mu did not pretend to be pretentious, and then turned around and said: "Sister Lan, let's prepare in the past few days. The auditions for some ordinary actors can also start. I will personally take charge of this!"
Wolf Fang List can be completed by more than just a few main actors. Even if it is only the first ten episodes, a large number of actors are needed, and some of them cannot be made up of just a few extras.
This is another important reason why Shen Mu and Ye Lan came to Hengzhen in advance.
In this place, you can find everything from top-tier or even super-top stars to extras who are no different from ordinary people.
When a production crew starts filming, most of them use this audition method to select actors who don't have many roles, and Shen Mu is no exception.
"I will arrange these things, and you can just be your great director with peace of mind!"
Ye Lan is in the business of being an agent, so she is very familiar with doing these things. Maybe even the recruitment advertisements for the crew have been posted long ago.
"Let's go and take a look at our new office space first!"
However, Ye Lan didn't go busy with those things now, and immediately led Shen Mu in a certain direction.
"Leizi, what are you still doing? Hurry up and follow!"
Seeing that Guo Lei was still standing there and even wanted to help him, Guo Tianzhen became furious and shouted: "You don't need to worry about my injury, I can walk back by myself!"
"Then dad, be careful!"
Guo Lei knew he couldn't defeat his father, so he could only obey the order and quickly followed the man and woman in front of him.
Guo Tianzhen, on the other hand, stood there for a long time without making any movement.
Snapped!
It wasn't until a long time later that Guo Tianzhen suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard. When he felt the burning pain on his face, he couldn't help but laugh to the sky.
"Hahaha, this is not a dream, this is really not a dream!"
At this moment, Guo Tianzhen was a little crazy, causing some tourists passing by to look sideways and subconsciously stay away from him.
"Isn't this person a psychopath?"
This was the first thought of many people when they saw Guo Tianzhen's state. At the same time, they secretly cursed the ancient palace for its lax management. Can anyone be let in?
Guo Tianzhen naturally didn't care what those passers-by thought. He raised his head, as if even the blazing sun had softened a bit at this moment and was no longer so scorching and dazzling.
…………
In the next few days, with Guo Lei's help, everything in the office was set up and looked presentable.
Even Guo Lei didn't know where he made two plaques. On the left was "Mu Lan Studio" and on the right was "Langya Bang Crew", which both Shen Mu and Ye Lan greatly appreciated.
Guo Lei almost always did the work like moving things alone, which made Ye Lan couldn't help but sigh, saying that Shen Mu had the ability to find such a free labor force.
Guo Lei, on the other hand, became more and more energetic because he and his son passed Shen Mu's interview yesterday and became official members of the Langya Bang crew.
It is worth mentioning that in yesterday's audition, Guo Tianzhen and Guo Lei's acting skills gave Shen Mu, an extremely strict director, an unexpected surprise.
From his professional perspective, even though Guo Tianzhen looks tall and thick, his acting skills are very delicate, and his many micro-expressions are even better than those of professional actors.
Moreover, Guo Tianzhen's performance has no trace of fixed performance patterns.
This is a common problem among actors with a professional background. It takes many years of acting to get rid of the deliberateness and become smooth and natural.
Perhaps this is the natural result that Guo Tianzhen can achieve after spending twelve years in Hengzhen, joining countless theater crews, and watching countless people perform.
According to Ye Lan, Shen Mu simply found a treasure.
"Are all the directors of those previous productions blind? With such good acting skills, he was only allowed to be a substitute?"
These were Ye Lan's original words at that time, which made Shen Mu deeply convinced.
It's a pity that countless directors in Hengzhen who have worked with Guo Tianzhen only regard him as a substitute and have never discovered the shining point in this person.
As for Guo Lei, although his acting skills are still a bit immature, he is much better than most of the group actors. He is an unpolished gem.
Shen Mu believes that as long as he trains himself well and the other party studies hard, Guo Lei's future will be limitless, and he will not even be worse than those professional acting actors from universities.
The most important thing is that the youthfulness in Guo Lei fits the role of Fei Liu very well.
He didn't need to act deliberately to achieve the effect Shen Mu wanted, which was another unexpected surprise.
After everything is prepared, the next step is the huge audition stage, so in the past few days, there has been a lot of traffic in front of the Wolf Fang List crew.
In an audition like this, the people who come to participate are all kinds of strange.
Sometimes it makes Shen Mu dumbfounded. If it weren't for his calm personality, he would be angry countless times a day.
While Shen Mu was choosing actors, Ye Lan was also extremely busy.
Looking for staff, organizing the service, and renting filming equipment, Ye Lan was exhausted to death.
In the end, people from the brokerage company were transferred from Longcheng, and I was greatly relieved.
Due to preparations for the filming of "Wolf Fang Bang", Ye Lan's artists have become free recently. They all know what the young lady is busy with, so they don't have too many complaints.
Among them, Long Kaidu flew over from Longcheng. He is one of the leading actors in the Wolf Fang List. According to Ye Lan, it is natural to do something, don't think about the things that are available.
Poor Long Kaitang, a well-known second-tier actor with countless fans, was reduced to following Ye Lan around like a little assistant, which made him want to cry.
Fortunately, Long Kai had known for a long time that the Langya Bang crew had a limited budget, so they saved as much as they could, so spending money these days was just like water.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the actors' remuneration was paid on credit, I'm afraid the 16 million would have been stretched thin. During the filming period, there was still plenty of money to spend.
