Shen Qing’s list included three potential directors, along with links to their works.

However, as Shen Qing himself said, none of these directors had been very successful.

The first director came from an advertising background and usually made music videos for company singers;

The second director had once filmed a TV drama, but the ratings were mediocre;

The third director was the only one who did not graduate from a film school. He became a director halfway, but he had experience in micro-film shooting.

Lin Yuan took a quick look at the works of these three people.

In the end, he circled the name of the third director:

Yi Chenggong.

The decision to choose this director was not because of the auspiciousness of

his name.

The main reason was that the micro-movie he shot was rather funny. It was less of a micro-movie than a collection of jokes, with a patchwork plot pieced together by various skits.

At least it had elements of comedy.

Although his micro-movies were compilations of jokes, making the story seem disjointed and lacking coherence, at least, the humorous elements of these skits were meticulously portrayed by him. It showed that his executive ability wasn’t a major issue.

“If it doesn’t work out, we’ll replace him.”

With this principle in mind, Lin Yuan started to select actors.

Compared to the choices for director, there were quite many actors for Lin Yuan to choose from.

However, there were indeed no major stars who could be considered for the role. Either they were newcomers who hadn’t been in the film industry for long, or they had been extras in the crew for many years and yet were still unknown-start with the appearance requirements.

This criterion alone had Lin Yuan sifting through a lot of people since each character in “Flirting Scholar” had their own unique characteristics.

Like Ruhua.

Like Sister Pomegranate.

Those who fit the image, Lin Yuan circled first.

After being busy for a while, there was a knock at the door.

“Come in.”

“Mr. Lin.”

The knocker entered the room.

Lin Yuan looked up, surprised to see it was Gu Dong: “Haven’t you returned to

Qi Province?”

“I want to stay at headquarters.”

Gu Dong sounded a bit nervous: “The headquarter plans to assign me to be Mr. Lin’s assistant, but they said it requires your personal approval.”

“No problem.”

Lin Yuan’s impression of Gu Dong was quite okay.

Gu Dong sounded pleasantly surprised: “I will work hard!”

Working at the branch office was certainly not as prestigious as the headquarters, and being Mr. Lin’s assistant in the headquarters was much better than her experience in the branch office!

So, Gu Dong really wanted to secure this job opportunity.

But she wasn’t sure if Lin Yuan was satisfied with her.

Now that she received Lin Yuan’s approval, she felt relieved.

Lin Yuan handed her his list: “You contact the butler and ask him to arrange a time for auditions.”

“Are you really going to shoot a movie?”

Gu Dong was somewhat surprised. She had heard some rumors before she arrived here, that Mr. Lin wanted to make a movie just for fun- –

The word “fun” was intriguing, representing many people’s opinions on this matter.

“Yes.”

“Okay, I’ll go and contact him now. But who is the butler?”

“Shen Qing, he is the film producer of ‘Flirting Scholar’.”

Gu Dong nodded, without asking further.

She wouldn’t stop Lin Yuan, because her experience of working with him at the branch office made it clear to her that it was useless to discourage him from doing what he wanted to do.

She just needed to do her job as an assistant.

Now, Gu Dong had fully placed herself in the position of Mr. Lin’s assistant, and as an assistant, she just needed to follow Mr. Lin’s instructions.

She shouldn’t even have asked that question just now…

Gu Dong reviewed her speech error just now and decided not to repeat it in the future.

The news of Lin Yuan making a movie indeed spread around the company, but no one commented on Lin Yuan’s decision to make a movie per se.

People were just amazed at the company’s regard for Lin Yuan, insisting on making a movie according to Lin Yuan’s whimsical interests without any

resistance.

This only made the company’s people realize that Lin’s position in the company was even higher than many people could imagine.

But that was it.

The company is now in a critical period of transformation. Everyone is more concerned about whether the film “Thunderstorm” can be a hit, which would allow the company’s transformation to successfully make a good start.

Compared to this, people lost their interest in Lin Yuan’s movie-making project after some brief gossip.

Lin Yuan, of course, didn’t care about other people’s opinions.

He met his preliminary choice of director the day before the audition.

Yi Chenggong.

Yi Chenggong was truly a small-time director.

For such a small-time director, the chance to direct is the most precious thing, and he certainly wouldn’t make trouble by nitpicking the script!

After receiving the script for “Flirting Scholar”, he read through the content in detail the very same night and clearly understood his position –

A tool!

How this film should be shot and how the scenes should be handled were all set in stone in the script by Mr. Lin!

All he had to do was to execute it, and help manage the crew.

But unlike the film producer Shen Qing, Yi Chenggong fell in love with the script of “Flirting Scholar” at first glance!

So, the first thing he said when he met Lin Yuan was:

“The script of Mr. Lin is ingenious!”

Lin Yuan immediately felt a sense of camaraderie.

The director was the second person, after 01′ Zhou, to affirm the quality of the “Flirting Scholar” script.

What’s more, unlike outsiders like 01′ Zhou, Yi Chenggongwas the director of this film!

At this moment, Lin Yuan realized that this director might not need to be replaced.

Yi Chenggong was a bit chubby and just under one meter seventy. Wearing glasses for short-sightedness, he was a talkative fellow:

“This script from Mr. Lin has some similarities with Qi Continent… Its name should be Qi Province now. In their early days, they had a movie called ‘I am a Master’ that adopted this kind of exaggerated style. Unfortunately, I think some parts were slightly restrained. The actors didn’t seem to let loose and some of the jokes weren’t daring enough. As a result, the box office of that movie wasn’t high, and after that, few people attempted this type of film again

II

Lin Yuan nodded constantly.

Blue Star indeed had absurd films, but those were only the embryonic form of absurdity. In contrast, “Flirting Scholar” was an all-out piece of absurdity.

“When will the auditions for the actors start?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Then we must pick our actors carefully. Supporting roles are okay, mainly we need to put some effort into their appearance, but the male lead will be difficult to select, with all the humor focused on his character…”

Lin Yuan found that Yi Chenggong was very knowledgeable more and more. Because Yi Chenggong’s line of thought was completely in line with Lin Yuan’s.

This made Lin Yuan somewhat hopeful: “Do you have a suitable candidate for the male lead?”

Yi Chenggong pondered for a moment and said: “Actually, there’s someone I know but this person is just a bit-part actor and can’t carry the box office…”

“That’s not important.”

How many major actors started as bit-part actors? If one doesn’t give them a chance, how would they know they are going to play bit-parts for their entire life?

“You don’t care about the fame of the lead actor?”

Yi Chenggong thought Lin Yuan would at least choose a familiar actor for the leading role.

“Yes.”

Lin Yuan answered affirmatively.

Yi Chenggong laughed: “Then the person I recommend should not disappoint

Mr. Lin…”
