After reading the four scripts brought by director Ning Hao, the one that left the deepest impression on Lin Yuan was the movie script "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

If you want to look at it from the perspective of film awards, the two movie scripts "Sweet Life" and "Journey of Clouds and Waters" are definitely qualified to hit the major domestic gold awards. The reason is very simple. Don't look at the domestic commercial films that have begun to win.

Nominated for various major awards, but in the end, the films that can actually win the awards are still those drama films that tend to have profound meanings.

But from the perspective of box office stability, the most suitable film script for Lin Yuan is definitely "Xiu Chun Dao·Shura Battlefield".

As the sequel to "Xiu Chun Dao".

This movie is definitely a standard commercial movie. This kind of movie does not have such strict control over the details during the shooting process. More importantly, it also has the previous movie as a reference. Things that require Lin Yuan's attention during shooting will not be ignored.

There are too many, and it is most suitable for a new director like Lin Yuan.

As for the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", it can be regarded as a commercial film with practical significance. As long as the director can perfectly present the story in the script on the screen, then this movie will not only have an impact on various domestic audiences.

A big gold medal, and the box office is guaranteed.

Of course, all this assumes that there are no problems with the filming of the film.

For a newcomer like Lin Yuan who has never directed a film before, it is somewhat difficult for him to challenge a film of this kind of subject.

So after hearing what Lin Yuan said.

Ning Hao did not rush to answer, but pondered for a while.

He originally wanted Lin Yuan to shoot the movie "Xiuchundao·Shura Battlefield". Firstly, this movie was relatively simple to shoot. In addition, Lin Yuan had starred in this movie and was praised by the director.

It will also be easier to get up.

Secondly, the role of Ding Xiu played by Lin Yuan in "Xiu Chun Dao" left a deep impression on the audience at the time.

If Lin Yuan can become the director of "Xiu Chun Dao·Shura Battlefield", it will become a hot topic. Not only will it have a good effect in the promotion of the film, but the final box office will definitely be very explosive.

So when he came over with the script, he also put the script of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" at the top.

What he didn't expect was that after reading the script of "Xiu Chun Knife 2", Lin Yuan did not directly choose this movie, but continued to read further.

After a few seconds, Ning Hao said: "Teacher Lin Yuan, are you sure you don't want to consider the movie "Xiu Chun Dao: Shura Battlefield"? If you direct and star in this movie, I'm sure the final box office results will be

It must be quite explosive."

Lin Yuan compared the scripts of the two movies in his mind, and finally felt that the script of "The God of Medicine" was more attractive, so he said in a firm tone: "I still want to try the script of "The God of Medicine"

For a movie, if the shooting effect is not satisfactory, Director Ning, you can replace me at any time, I will just use my name as assistant director."

When Xu Zheng saw this, he also winked at Ning Hao.

They all know how good the script of this movie is, and the difficulty of filming is indeed not small for a new director Lin Yuan, but after all, they have two of them as producers, and they will help Lin Yuan keep an eye on the crew when the time comes.

It's not a difficult thing to finish filming this movie smoothly.

Seeing that Lin Yuan had said so, Ning Hao immediately agreed.

Just after Ning Hao agreed to hand over the script to Lin Yuan for filming, Xu Zheng quickly changed the topic: "Then let's make a decision. It's not too early now, so I'll treat you two to a meal nearby.

"

Ning Hao smiled and replied: "That's a good relationship. Not only did we reach our first cooperation with Teacher Lin Yuan, but now we have a free dinner."

As Ning Hao finished speaking, Xu Zheng took a closer look and frowned: "Mouse, that's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

"I found a director for you, and now you want me to treat you to dinner. It doesn't make sense. You have to treat us to this meal."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you my treat. How come you, a film producer, are so picky!"

The three of them burst into laughter and after teasing each other, their relationship became much closer.

...

In a private room of a certain hotel.

After ordering the food, Xu Zheng also looked at Lin Yuan before the food was served, and then asked: "Lin Yuan, do you know how to make movies?"

Lin Yuan shook his head.

He was just a walk-on in Hengdian, where did he learn how to make movies?

At that time, being able to work as a special guest actor and make a living was already very good. I never thought that one day I would be able to direct and star in a movie.

After signing with Xitian Media and debuting, I basically studied acting courses.

He is good at acting, but when it comes to making movies, compared to Xu Zheng, he is at the level of a primary school student.

However, Lin Yuan didn't know anything. Since the filming of "Tang Detective", he would sit next to the director whenever he had free time, and then sit next to him and learn how other directors directed a good movie.

Over time, I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run away.

Basically, I know by heart what the director should do when the crew is filming.

Xu Zheng saw Lin Yuan shaking his head and said with relief: "Don't worry, making a movie is actually not that difficult. Haven't you seen that there is a saying in our circle, 'If you act well, you will direct'. With your current understanding of the script, you can

There will definitely be no problems in making this movie, but if you want to make it well, you need some talent."

Having said this, Xu Zheng deliberately coughed twice and straightened his chest.

There are many actors who have turned into directors, but there are very few who have achieved great results in both directions like him.

I won’t say how accomplished he is, but he definitely has some talent.

Seeing Xu Zheng's stinking look, Lin Yuan and Ning Hao couldn't help but chuckle.

Lin Yuan immediately picked up the teapot, filled Xu Zheng's cup with tea, and then started teasing: "Brother Zheng, what do you think my talent is like?"

"Yes, you are much more talented than Huang Bo!"

Xu Zheng smiled and got down to business: "You basically don't have to worry about making a movie, but you have to put more thought into the crew and actors."

The crew is usually a temporary team formed to complete the filming of a certain movie or TV series. After the filming is completed, it is basically announced to be disbanded, unless they have made multiple movies like Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, they basically have

Own fixed crew.

For them, it is extremely easy to build a crew.

But after all, this was Lin Yuan's first time making a movie. If he wanted to make a movie with his own style, both the crew and the actors had to be selected by himself in order to achieve the best results.

As Xu Zheng talked about business, Lin Yuan nodded slowly after hearing this.

This matter is indeed something worth worrying about for a new director, but unfortunately for Lin Yuan, it is not a trouble at all.

The investor behind him is Enlight Media. He is backed by capital. Does he need to worry about these things?

When the time comes, let Enlight Media help build a creative team and identify the executive director, actors, assistant directors, production directors, coordinators, external producers and other personnel. As for the selection of crew members such as photography, art, styling, and recording, it will be up to

At that time, it is handed directly to the production director. As a director, he only needs to determine the actors for the roles.

After chatting for a while, the food was served.

While Ning Hao and Xu Zheng were eating, they taught Lin Yuan their experience in making movies.

After a while, the three of them started talking about casting, and the two of them recommended several relatively good actors to Lin Yuan.

When it came to movie casting, Lin Yuan suddenly raised his head and glanced at Xu Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, are you interested in starring in this movie?"

"I?"

After hearing this, Xu Zheng held the piece of meat in his mouth and hesitated to put it in.

His eyes were full of surprise.

Obviously, he had no idea that Lin Yuan would directly target him.

Xu Zheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "What role are you going to let me play?"

Lin Yuan looked directly into Xu Zheng's eyes and slowly said two words: "Lu Yong."

Regarding Lin Yuan's answer, not to mention Xu Zheng, even Ning Hao was stunned.

"Lu Yong?"

Xu Zheng asked in a puzzled tone: "I play Lu Yong, so what do you play?"

They have all read the script. Lu Yong is the protagonist with the most roles in the movie script "The God of Medicine", and he is also the character who best reflects the character's growth.

To put it simply, this kind of role is the leading male position in the movie.

And now, Lin Yuan is directing and acting in his first movie. He doesn't play the male lead, so he does it. What's the point?

If he hadn't looked at Lin Yuan's serious expression, Xu Zheng would have thought that Lin Yuan was joking with him.

Lin Yuan did not answer Xu Zheng's question, but asked instead: "Brother Zheng, don't you think the character Lu Yong is very similar to the character Pan Xiao you played in "No Man's Land"?"

In the movie "No Man's Land", Pan Xiao was a selfish person at the beginning, but after entering the no man's land, he wandered to the edge of human nature many times, and finally completed his transformation and showed it with his own life.

The transformation process of human nature.

In the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Lu Yong started out as a health care product vendor, then wanted to make money by selling counterfeit medicines, and finally learned about the leukemia community in depth, and took risks for the sake of his fellow patients, risking being killed.

The risk of being caught smuggling counterfeit drugs also shows the brilliance of human nature.

As an actor, Lin Yuan believed that he could play the role of Lu Yong well.
