Chapter 55

Initially, he felt a bit of heartache; Qin Yu felt Huayi was robbing him.

But later, news came from Fatty Zhou.

The side in Modu had accelerated the review process and had, in principle, agreed to their request to rent the stadium.

And the side in Xiangjiang also agreed to lend them the bank vault for filming.

And...

This wasn't all. Later, regarding the arrangement of the audition venue, the missing crew prop masters, and other staff,

as soon as Qin Yu gave the order, Huayi filled them all in the next day.

Fast speed, high quality.

It was simply impeccable.

Only then did Qin Yu reveal a smile.

Sure enough, cooperating with a big company is really comfortable.

Aside from filming, Qin Yu didn't have to worry about anything else at all.

Not a loss!

……

Qin Yu felt it wasn't a loss, and actually, Wang Zhonglei felt it wasn't a loss either.

After reading the script for *Now You See Me*, he realized that Qin Yu’s brain was truly surprising.

How did he think of all the various magic tricks in here?

If he hadn't read the script, he wouldn't have been able to guess that one could rob a bank using this method.

Not to mention the audience.

Anyway, regardless of how the movie turns out, this script is definitely fine.

Very exciting.

Both the plot and the magic tricks inside!

In the audition room, Wang Zhonglei sat beside Qin Yu; there were four interviewers this time.

Qin Yu, Fatty Zhou, Wang Zhonglei, and Liu Feng.

Originally, Liu Feng and Wang Zhonglei didn't need to come, but to express their importance to Qin Yu and the new movie,

they came personally to be interviewers!

It could be said they gave a lot of face.

Taking advantage of the time while the actors were preparing, Wang Zhonglei and Liu Feng were also chatting and laughing with Qin Yu.

"Director Qin, you really don't show your true colors," Wang Zhonglei exclaimed.

"This script you wrote is really good; the story is very refreshing, and the magic tricks inside are even more amazing."

Wang Zhonglei gave a thumbs up.

Beside him, Liu Feng also nodded.

"President Wang is right. Director Qin, you young people are really amazing; you can even make magic tricks bloom."

"You two, if you keep going like this, I'll be embarrassed."

Qin Yu smiled.

He glanced at the script beside him.

Actually, the story *Now You See Me* tells isn't very hard to understand.

The film starts with some refreshing magic tricks.

There are also exciting fight scenes, thrilling car chases, and a brain-burning plot, one ring linked to another.

But it isn't until the end of the story that one discovers that the magic tricks were actually just a smokescreen.

This is a story about a son avenging his father.

The protagonist’s father was framed and unfortunately sacrificed during a magic performance, and the protagonist has four targets for revenge.

The first is the bank that was robbed.

The second is the insurance company that refused the claim, which is also the sponsor of the magic troupe in the play.

The third is to take revenge on a magic debunker who exposed the protagonist’s father’s magic tricks back then.

The last one, many people might not be able to see, is the private security company; this company previously produced magic props.

The protagonist’s father couldn't escape successfully because he used this company’s inferior props.

And if you don't see the end of the *Now You See Me* story, you would think the four people on stage with unique skills are the protagonists.

Only when you see the end do you realize that the protagonist has always been that police officer.

It was he who brought these four people together.

This police officer deceived everyone in the play until he locked that debunker in a prison cell.

Only then did he finally reveal the truth.

When Qin Yu watched this movie back then, he also completely didn't expect it.

The mastermind behind the scenes was actually the police officer who had been catching these four magicians all along!!!

He was incredibly surprised.

A very exciting movie.

"Haha~" Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei and Liu Feng both laughed.

They liked this personality of Qin Yu’s: humble, with a little bit of humor.

Very easy to get along with.

Unlike some so-called genius directors.

Those are the ones who are hard to serve; they have a higher starting point than Qin Yu, yet the films they shoot aren't as good as his.

Yet they all look at people with their noses in the air and have a ton of demands.

They also like to bring in private work, and once they gain power,

they mess around on set.

People like that, even if they have some talent, won't go far.

Nowadays, which big director isn't a master of human nature? Being good at filming is one aspect, but being good at dealing with people is also very important.

Even Director Feng actually knows how to advance and retreat.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone far either.

"Alright, alright, stop blowing smoke. Let's look at the roles; there are quite a few people to pick this time."

"President Wang, President Liu, don't just watch the show."

Wang Zhonglei and Liu Feng also nodded.

Don't say, the cake Qin Yu gave this time was quite large. Aside from the police officer role that Qin Yu is playing himself,

there are two female leads: one is the escape artist of the magic troupe, and the other is the international police officer following the police officer.

The rest are the three members of the magic troupe.

A magician, a hypnotist, and a master thief.

The styles of the three roles are very strong; they are definitely hot commodities and can really boost a person’s career.

It doesn't end there; there is also a middle-aged magician with significant screen time.

That is, one of the members who caused the death of the protagonist’s father.

The rest are the wealthy sponsors.

Counting them up, there are a total of six main actors.

"Good, good, good. But we will just offer suggestions; the specific decision still has to be made by you, Director Qin."

"That's right, President Wang is right. We won't interfere."

Qin Yu felt very comfortable hearing this.

Talking to masters of human nature is comfortable; there's no need to say too much.

Just a slight hint and they understand.

……

And on the other side, the audition room was incredibly quiet, but outside it was exceptionally noisy.

There were a lot of people coming to audition.

Huayi’s two-story building was basically packed.

It could be considered a spectacle; after all, which company would make such a big fuss when shooting a movie? ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
