This time, the actors of Tianxing Entertainment, who currently had no work, also came to join in the fun and show their support!
Even Deng Yue, Tong Xiaocheng, Gao Bo, and Xu Lang appeared to lend their strength.
They weren't worried about not having films to shoot, but supporting Su Yu's work was incredibly meaningful to them!
Look at Deng Yue! How long had it been, and he had already completed his first film as a self-directed and self-written project.
Gao Bo secretly felt that it was Xu Lang's turn next!
Because this guy's "Jiong Series" script was already polished to near perfection, and was expected to start shooting very soon.
And what about Gao Bo?
He also harbored a dream of being a director!
Initially, everyone came with the intention of supporting Su Yu, but after seeing the film's story outline and some audition clips, their thoughts subtly changed.
They felt in their hearts that this film truly had value in being made! After all, there were very few realistic films that could be written so exquisitely.
Constant grandstanding and lecturing often ended up pleasing no one.
But this dying to survive was unique; it could make people tear up with laughter, and without them realizing it, it would starkly present an incredibly heavy social issue to everyone.
It wouldn't give people an awkward feeling of forcibly elevating the theme or stiffly emotionalizing it.
One could only say that Su Yu, who created this script, was truly amazing!
However, the number of roles in the film was limited, and not all of them suited their acting styles.
But whether it was Deng Yue, Tong Xiaocheng, Gao Bo, or Xu Lang, Li Enjun, without exception, all set their sights on the male lead, Cheng Yong!
As there was no original work to refer to, they didn't know that Xu Lang would rise to prominence and become a drug god with this film.
Although Su Yu knew the original situation, how could he dampen everyone's enthusiasm?
So, he and Zhang Guoshi very seriously completed the audition process for several people.
Even those who rarely met on weekdays were now directly discussing their acting skills and understanding of the roles in the Film and Television Department.
The auditions gradually entered a heated stage, with each of them performing several scenes of Cheng Yong's role, and finally, everyone voted to select their most suitable "Cheng Yong" candidate.
This scene made Zhang Guoshi deeply feel that these few were truly rare and good actors!
If there was an opportunity in the future, he would definitely cooperate with these few!
And the role of "Cheng Yong" ultimately went to Xu Lang.
This didn't mean that Xu Lang's acting skills were necessarily superior to others; it just meant that his compatibility with this role was higher!
After the results were announced, everyone wasn't too dejected; after all, this was their own head office's work, and they naturally hoped to make it the best it could be.
Although the "Cheng Yong" candidate had been decided, other roles remained undecided.
Su Yu smiled and looked at everyone, saying, "Yue Ge, you play the police officer, the younger brother-in-law. As for the remaining roles, I plan to give some opportunities to the company's newcomers."
Once Su Yu had spoken, it was as good as set in stone, a done deal.
The few people present would not raise any objections at all.
As for the remaining roles like Lü Shouyi and Huang Mao, although quite striking, they already had many classic roles in hand, so there was really no need for them to participate in this film.
However, they didn't rush to leave; instead, they stayed and collectively acted as audition directors.
This kind of lineup brought immense pressure to the company's newcomers who came for auditions later.
But a newcomer who could stand out under the scrutiny of such a powerful lineup would undoubtedly be excellent in both psychological quality and acting skills.
The day-long auditions ended, and the roles were roughly selected; the remaining trivial matters no longer required Su Yu's personal attention.
But just as Su Yu was about to head home, he was stopped by Gao Bo.
"General Manager Su, I've been polishing a script, and it's almost taking shape now, but I always feel like something isn't quite right. Could you help me take a look?"
Gao Bo stated the reason for stopping Su Yu.
He was a very intelligent and cautious person, so he attached unimaginable importance to his first film, which was about to start shooting!
He had previously teased Xu Lang for meticulously polishing the "Jiong Series" script, little did he know that he himself was no different?
And in his heart, the one who could provide the greatest help for his first work was none other than Su Yu.
How could he easily let go of such a great screenwriter whose works were guaranteed to be blockbusters and masterpieces?
Actually, Gao Bo had originally planned to mention this after this successful audition.
However, he was not selected for his desired role.
"Send me the electronic version, I'll take a look tonight." Su Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.
As for a situation like Zhang Guoshi, who couldn't move once he saw a good script? That was simply impossible for Su Yu!
"Alright! Then thank you, General Manager Su, for your trouble!" Gao Bo immediately responded with a beaming smile.
Everyone was a colleague in the company, and they all understood that since Su Yu had agreed, it meant that this matter was basically settled.
Because if Su Yu didn't want to help, he wouldn't be polite or subtle with you!
As for what benefits to give or what conditions to propose?
Gao Bo felt that proposing it now would be too obvious in its purpose, too utilitarian, and might even cause Su Yu's displeasure, which would truly be more loss than gain.
When it came to discussing project approval and investment shares, let Su Yu allocate them; anyway, he wouldn't lose out no matter what, and Su Yu wouldn't let him lose out either.
"Done?" Seeing Su Yu leave, Xu Lang leaned over to Gao Bo and asked.
"It's settled!" Gao Bo nodded in confirmation.
The two had a very close relationship and knew each other's situations very well.
"This time, maybe your film will be released even earlier than mine!" Xu Lang teased with a hint of sourness.
Soon, he was going to join the crew to shoot drug god, and his own film would have to be postponed again.
In fact, he should have started his own film project last year.
But at that time, there were two favor-debt films to shoot that he couldn't refuse, so it had been delayed until now.
Of those two films, one had a box office of 170 million, and the other 150 million; although neither lost money, the profit was not much.
And he, Xu Lang? He only got an actor's salary at a friendship price, which was nowhere near as enjoyable as when he filmed lost in thailand!
However, the favors were finally repaid. After filming this drug god, he could finally devote himself wholeheartedly to the creation of his first film.
Although most of the investment share would also be given to Tianxing Entertainment, what he himself could earn would definitely not be small, especially since Tianxing Entertainment was backing him up, he really had nothing to worry about.
"Sigh, I also won't be able to start shooting until the end of the year. In between, there's also one season of reality show and two films to shoot! All of them are unavoidable, so don't rush either, who knows who will be faster."
Gao Bo sighed lightly, stating his upcoming arrangements.
After becoming famous, in order to maintain popularity, the luxury of freedom had quietly left them.
However, they were in this business to begin with; they couldn't expect both fame and fortune and freedom. That would be too naive!
