In April, with the approval of the "Never End" project, preparations for the crew and casting of actors began. In comparison, the filming of "Never Ending" was still a bit complicated. In order to make the plot more Hollywood-style and smooth, Wan Xiaohu specially recruited several assistant directors and art and photography teams from Hollywood to form a A Hollywood-style crew. The crew is ready and news of the actors¡¯ auditions has been circulated. The new movie script has been greatly changed from the original movie story. It can be said that the content of the story has been subversively modified, and the entire plot has become smoother and more reasonable. Li Xiang is a novel author in Shanghai. He makes a living by writing books for publishers. He was married once but divorced again. Now he has a new girlfriend Lin Na. Unfortunately, writing books for a long time has caused him to often live a lazy and lifeless life, and even Lin Na broke up with him because of his lack of progress. Just when he felt discouraged by everything, he met Wang Jun, the younger brother of his ex-wife Wang Juan. Wang Jun's younger brother invited him to tea. Seeing that he was listless, he gave him an unlicensed illegal drug nzt-48. , telling him that this medicine can make him feel a hundred times more energetic. Li Xiang dubiously took the medicine on the way back, and then found that the world had changed and everything was different. Normally, Li Xiang would scratch his head in annoyance when encountering the landlord's daughter-in-law who was extremely mean to him. But now he had a new idea. He caught the landlord's daughter-in-law's interest in just a few words, and then with a series of witty remarks, he succeeded. He hooked up with this sexy woman and went in to fool around with her all afternoon. Then when I returned to my messy room, I couldn't stand it for the first time, so I started to tidy up the room. When he sat in front of the computer, all the boring inspirations from before came back. The keyboard is flying and flowing. But when he woke up the next day, he was back to being that listless, rotten person. With the god-like feeling he had yesterday, Li Xiang went to find Wang Jun, hoping to get more nzt-48. When he found Wang Jun. Wang Jun asked him to help with some sundries before selling him medicine. But when Li Xiang came back from his work, the house where Wang Jun lived seemed to have been ransacked, and Wang Jun himself was shot dead. After Li Xiang called the police, he accidentally found the nzt-48 hidden by Wang Jun and entered a different life. He became crazy confident, his communication skills, writing inspiration, and personal charm all greatly increased, and he began to enter and leave the upper class society. Playing golf, attending banquets, and saying some witty and humorous words made the ladies like him, and then his girlfriend Lin Na was attracted to him again. Life is beautiful and joyful. But soon after, Li Xiang discovered something was wrong with him. Sometimes after taking the medicine, he would completely forget what he had done before. He planned to go home, but he appeared on the road twenty blocks away. He even had injuries on his hands, clearly from a fight. But I don¡¯t remember it at all. What is even more tragic is that he was involved in the trouble of an underground drug gang. Jinlong, a small drug trafficking leader, accidentally took nzt-48 and was out of control. He pestered Li every day for pills, otherwise he would be killed. At this time, he unexpectedly met Wang Juan from the early stage, and Wang Juan's current appearance became terrifying. She told Li Xiang that nzt-48 is not a drug that can change people's IQ and brain operation efficiency, but a new type of drug. It can cause people to have a psychedelic effect and make them think they are awesome, especially those who are already smart. Drugs can help them concentrate and maximize their potential. This makes me feel like I am becoming a superman every minute. The cost is that you become more and more inseparable from nzt-48, and then you are enslaved by the drug, living a lost psychedelic life for a lifetime, eventually over-consuming your body and destroying yourself. Because Wang Jun was selling this kind of drug, Wang Juan became addicted and turned into this neither human nor ghost. "When you take it, because the drug stimulates your potential, your face becomes rosy, as if your charm increases, but it is at the expense of your body's energy until you die of exhaustion. And once you stop taking the drug, you will be like me, because the sequelae will not People are not ghosts, so they can barely survive." Wang Juan gave her final persuasion and left in a hurry. Through Wang Juan's words, Li Xiang not only knew what nzt-48 was, but also learned that there was a drug trafficking gang that made money by selling nzt-48, controlled others through drugs, and worked for them. Jinlong was one of the small leaders of this gang. one. Of course, as a peripheral, Jinlong didn't know what nzt-48 was. Because Li Xiang¡¯s drugs did not come from a drug gang, he only had to face Jinlong for the time being. However, as Jinlong's demands became more and more excessive, the number of drugs became less and less, and the drug cartel also learned about Li Xiang through Jinlong, and began to find ways to make Li Xiang available to them. They even sent killers to follow him.??And Lin Na. As a last resort, Li Xiang revealed the truth to Lin Na and asked Lin Na to help him get some nzt-48 from home. This drug cannot be stopped directly. The dose must be slowly reduced before he can quit. While Lin Na was getting the medicine, she was chased by a killer. Thanks to taking one nzt-48, she was able to save her life. Afterwards, Lin Na discovered the horror of drugs and decisively told Li Xiang to quit, otherwise she would not see him again. Li Xiang agreed, and Lin Na moved away from the Magic City. Li Xiang, who was alone, took medicine again, and then began to want to get rid of the drug cartel. He began to make crazy plans, using Jinlong to infiltrate the group, and then used his tapped potential to secretly plan and cooperate with the police to seize and break up the drug trafficking group in one fell swoop. one year later. Li Xiang was already the general manager of a pharmaceutical company. While he was in a meeting, someone broke into the company. Li Xiang met this person in the office, who was Jinlong who had slipped through the drug cartel and then there was an open ending. The plot of the entire movie is this. ????Removing the Superman part makes the scope of things happen smaller and more realistic. Otherwise, like in the original movie, he has a monopoly on the world's energy and is running for president. In terms of the overall plot pattern, it is obviously inconsistent with the overall plot, seems nondescript, and misunderstood the fun part. The exciting part of the movie is that drugs make people become another person. The man who wears silk and rubs his hair becomes taller, richer and more handsome in minutes. He does things he dares not do and enjoys a life he dare not enjoy. The woman who left him throws himself into his arms again, wherever he goes. Sparkling, this is in line with the obscene meaning of Diaosi, rather than dominating the world. "You can dominate the world by taking pills. That's nonsense. I don't know how many nzt-48 pills have been leaked out. Wouldn't everyone be able to dominate the world?" Therefore, the original version of this movie was ruined by bragging. In the end, it couldn't keep up the lies, and it was downgraded from a masterpiece to a bad movie. Wan Xiaohu only kept the cool points and eliminated the parts that were too bragging. ?¡ ?With the script and storyboards, choosing actors is a matter of course. Wan Xiaohu doesn¡¯t need to worry about the supporting roles in the play. There will naturally be someone responsible for finding them. He only needs to work with the director team to select the main actors. And there are only six people who can be the main actors, the male protagonist Li Xiang, the female protagonist Lin Na, the male protagonist¡¯s ex-wife Wang Juan, the drug trafficking leader Jin Long, Wang Juan¡¯s brother Wang Jun and the following killer. ? Among them, the male protagonist can be said to play the leading role, and his acting skills and looks are required. Originally, Wan Xiaohu still hoped to use Chen Kun. After all, they have cooperated many times and their brand name is here. But what is more regrettable is that Chen Kun has recently taken on two Hollywood literary films and has no schedule. Chinese stars hanging out in Hollywood mostly act in kung fu movies. Chen Kun doesn't know kung fu. Although he has the support of several movies by Wan Xiaohu, he still lacks box office appeal. He can only hone his acting skills through some literary films first and strive for more success. More affirmation will facilitate future rise. Without Chen Kun, Wan Xiaohu is not satisfied with the male actors under Flash Star. If these people are in China, Wan Xiaohu can praise anyone, but if he takes the international route, he still needs to hone his acting skills. Especially for Huang Xiaoming, the current niche player besides Chen Kun, his acting skills are still not up to standard and he lacks the temperament to take the lead. Otherwise, Wan Xiaohu will not be able to Mind making him famous internationally. Finally, Wan Xiaohu sent an invitation to all the major agencies, inviting handsome male stars over 30 years old to come and audition for the leading role. Then several other actors also determined the audition range one by one. time is money. Wan Xiaohu pays attention to efficiency. So in mid-April, the audition began in the Jiahe Conference Room on the 16th floor of the office building of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. Famous actors from all the Chinese-speaking regions, big names and superstars, were all waiting in the corridor outside the conference room, just like the extras waiting for the crew to choose. ¡°There are many domestic first-line superstars, such as Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Lu Yi, Liu Jialing, Xu Jinglei and other stars, and even the international level Zhang Ziyi is here. Some of these celebrities gathered together to talk, and some simply sat on the bench brought by the assistant and looked in the mirror alone. Wan Xiaohu took a nap at noon, and then he and several assistant directors rushed to the Peninsula Hotel under the guidance of his assistant. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I was startled by the celebrities in the corridor. "I'm sorry, no one told me that so many people came today?" "Boss, the situation is quite unexpected. We didn't expect so many people, and they are all celebrities. I can only say that boss, you are too famous. "The movie is so attractive." Wan Xiaohu patted the assistant on the shoulder. This young man was good at filming and had a bright future: "Why?"??No room arranged for them to rest and wait? Everybody standing in the aisle? " "It has been arranged, but they are all willing to wait in the aisle. " Before I could say a few words, I was interrupted by the greetings coming one after another from the stars on the aisle. " Director Wan. " "Hello, Director Wan. " "Good director. " Wan Xiaohu smiled, nodded in response one by one, and said a few words to familiar celebrities from time to time. "Hey, Hua Zai, why didn't you come to me for a drink last night? " "Oh, Sister Jialing, what has Wei Tsai been busy with recently? " After chatting and laughing, they arrived at the door of the conference room. Wan Xiaohu said to the assistant: "Ask them to go back to the lounge and wait. "Then he walked in, put on his posture, and prepared to accept the actor's audition. (To be continued)
