Chapter 468 Rejected
When many people got this news, their first thought was, how fucking rich and self-willed.

Including, the queen sister also made a special call to persuade Lin Xiao not to take such unnecessary risks.

It can be seen that everyone has no confidence in Lin Xiao's ability to direct.

"Is it rich and willful? Or is the mentality inflated? Let us wait and see."

"Perhaps because of the success of the previous three films, Lin Xiao has swelled to the point of being arrogant. It is unimaginable that he, who has no directing experience, wants to challenge a big production."

"Lin Xiao's first directed work may be the beginning of the end of the miracle!"

Not only is the media not optimistic, but people in the circle have also said that Lin Xiao is too self-inflated and so on.

Some people also said that Lin Xiao had too much money and didn't know how to spend it.

All in all, Lin Xiao pushed himself to the forefront once again.

Lin Xiao's previous three films were a great success. While receiving countless praises, he naturally offended many people, most of whom wanted to see his jokes.

It's just that they never had a chance, but this time, they found an opportunity to criticize Lin Xiao vigorously.

"I really think I'm an all-around player, but it's not easy to be a director."

"The people who eat melons said that they will wait for Lin Xiao to fail!"

"The three films invested by High Heaven Pavilion before have all achieved huge returns, so High Heaven Pavilion can afford to lose money. However, it would be nice to have the money for charity, so why just throw it away?"

Although he knew that there would be some controversy after the news came out, Lin Xiao didn't expect that the controversy would be so big.

The point is not that, Lin Xiao doesn't care too much about public opinion.

But the biggest problem now is that Wang Pengfei, the protagonist of the new film, refused, obviously because he lacked confidence in Lin Xiao's directing ability.

And it is impossible for Lin Xiao to invite those second- and third-tier stars to act. After all, although the acting skills of this film may not be as high as "Infernal Affairs", it definitely needs actors with superb acting skills to sit in. As a result, Many invitations were sent out, but they were all rejected.

In fact, this is quite normal. Many times, like those first-line actors, or top actors, when they choose scripts and roles, they not only need to read the script, but also look at the director and other leading actors.

And Lin Xiao, a young director, is obviously not enough to convince them of his directing ability.

"Lin Xiao, otherwise, I think it's better to forget it, you really want to practice, first shoot TV dramas or low-cost productions, and after you prove yourself, I believe it will not be the current situation." Xiao Jie It was also a sad time.

Although Lin Xiao often brought them impossible miracles, this time they still lacked confidence in Lin Xiao.

Although Lin Xiao admitted that Xiao Jie's words were correct, he didn't want to wait any longer.

In fact, Lin Xiao was still a little lacking in confidence at first, but the few cards he got in the lottery last night made Lin Xiao feel full of confidence.

Sometimes luck can't be stopped no matter what, he actually got a 4-star director card for this movie.

It’s just helpless, if you want to sing or act, you can pass the audition and directly prove yourself by singing live, but the director is different, you need to make a movie to prove yourself.

So he knew he was fine, but he couldn't prove it to others.

"I've made up my mind, the problem now is how to find a suitable actor, not to persuade me to change my mind." Lin Xiao frowned.

"However, we sent out audition invitations to domestically suitable actors, but they were all rejected. They clearly don't believe you." Xiao Jie said with a depressed expression.

"How about lowering the standard?" Xiao Jie asked.

"No, is there really no one to choose?" Lin Xiao shook his head and said.

"It's not without it, but" Xiao Jie hesitated.

"But what?" Lin Xiao asked with some doubts.

"Have you heard of Liang Shaoqing?" Xiao Jie asked.

"Liang Shaoqing?" Lin Xiao looked blank.

"Liang Shaoqing, Best Actor of China Film Awards, Best Actor of Hong Kong Island Film Awards, it's just a pity that after that, Liang Shaoqing's luck seemed to be exhausted, he made one film and lost one, and gradually became a poison at the box office."

"From countless film contracts and countless people's pursuit, but finally became a box office poison, Liang Shaoqing gradually began to fade out of the entertainment circle. In fact, with Liang Shaoqing's reputation, even if he became a box office poison, it would not be so. But Liang Shaoqing is very Ao, he only accepts leading roles, absolutely no supporting roles, and almost all of the films in which he plays the leading role lose money, so, gradually, no one is looking for him to make movies."

"You mean, looking for this Liang Shaoqing?" Lin Xiao asked, rubbing his chin.

"Yes, in terms of acting skills, Liang Shaoqing is actually very good, but his luck is really not that good. In fact, seriously, the failures of the few films he starred in can't be completely blamed on him. This is true of every film, so."

"By the way, there is another point. If you want to invite Liang Shaoqing, you still have to think carefully. After all, he is a box office poison." Xiao Jie said seriously.

The film and television industry also pays great attention to those mysterious and mysterious things. An actor at the actor level who messed up several films in a row is worthy of scrutiny.

"Then what is Liang Shaoqing doing now?" Lin Xiao asked with some doubts.

"It's not very clear. If you decide to give it a try, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone." Xiao Jie said.

"Well, check what he's doing now." Lin Xiao said after pondering for a moment.

"By the way, what about the other characters?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"Well, there are some people who recommend themselves, but they are all young actors. Of those we invited, less than one-fifth of them are willing to audition." Xiao Jie said with a wry smile.

In addition to the main characters, a film also needs a lot of supporting roles. Don't think that supporting roles are not important.

Like Huang Zhicheng, Han Chen, Sha Qiang and others in "Infernal Affairs", not just anyone can be competent.

But when many people heard that Lin Xiao himself was directing, they immediately backed down.

Of course, the choice of supporting roles is definitely not as troublesome as the choice of assertiveness.

However, it is definitely not possible to choose the best among the best.

"By the way, do you still remember Fan Wencheng?" Xiao Jie asked with a strange face.

"Well, what's the matter?" Lin Xiao asked suspiciously.

"He called before and wanted to ask you to meet." Xiao Jie said.

"Did you say what it was?" Lin Xiao asked suspiciously.

"No, I just wanted to ask you to meet." Xiao Jie shook her head.

Lin Xiao was really confused, what was the purpose of Fan Wencheng asking him to meet at this time?
"What do you think he wants to do?" Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Jie and asked.

"He is a director. What do you think he wants to do? There are two possibilities. One is to attract investment. He messed up "The Marginal Man". In the short term, there will definitely not be any chance to direct a big production. Another possibility That is, he may have taken a fancy to our project."
