The Great Heist of the Century.
Liu Jinsheng and Director Tian smacked these five words in their minds, and smiles appeared on their faces as if they were very much in agreement.
"What a crap name, change it to Stealing the Sky." Director Tian raised his pen and crossed out the line.
Before Li Si and Director Tian could argue, Liu Jin Sheng also chimed in, "It's too straightforward, no beauty at all, I think it's more appropriate to call it 'Crossing the Four Seas'."
He crossed out Director Tian's line as well.
This completely blew up, and the three of them argued into a ball.
Feng Su put his hand under Douzha's armpit and picked up the little girl and stepped aside to prevent the stupidity from spreading.
Arguing to the excitement, Tian Guan directly rolled up his sleeves, "Hey you see this violent temper of mine ..."
Li Si silently took off his shirt, and his back muscle lines were clearly visible.
Director Tian sat back.
"Let's discuss the plot."
Liu Jinsheng agreed, he had long held back a bellyful of words, and as soon as he had the chance to open his mouth, he couldn't wait to ask:
"You tell me first, why did the protagonist rob the safe instead of the vault?"
Li Si didn't think twice: "The difference is that the safe is privately owned by the client."
"So?" Liu Jinsheng wondered.
"High claims." Li Si uttered four words.
He explained that saying a private safe meant that the amount of money involved was private, and the client could exaggerate their losses as much as they wanted. Therefore they would not pressure the police to find the robber and the lost property as soon as possible. Instead ...
"Shift the pressure to the bank to compensate, I see."
Liu Jinsheng finished the second half of his sentence for him.
Director Tian raised his hand:
"I also have a problem. In the end the protagonist was arrested but only sentenced to one year and four months, is this plot arrangement reasonable?"
Li Si said that toy guns were used throughout and no one was hurt. According to local law in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a sentence of one year and four months is a heavy sentence.
The next two men asked Li Si a dozen questions, Li Si answered them well, not even jammed.
The more they listened, the more appreciation they felt in their hearts.
This is what I call well-prepared, look at it, talking like the real thing.
Even Brazilian law this cold knowledge, this must check how much information ah.
"Alright, the plot is almost discussed here." Director Tian knocked on the table.
"Let's talk about casting."
The Heist of the Century, which of course could also be called Stealing the Sky or Zoning Out, had a total of four main characters.
The main character, Li Zheng, the mastermind of the heist.
Elderly man Song Qi, the professional thief, who is responsible for circling the police.
Mordo, the strong man, the protagonist's best friend, with a big personality and a beard. Preferably a foreigner.
Doctor Zhou Wen, calm and wise.
Other roles can be put aside first, only the actors for these four roles must be decided first.
The main character is Li Si, while the doctor is played by Liu Jin Sheng. There is no doubt about it.
Regarding the old man, Director Tian also had someone in mind and planned to contact him later.
But the strong man ...
"I know someone that's very suitable." Li Si said.
He walked out and made a phone call, and two hours later, Lumik appeared at the door, rarely not reeking of alcohol.
Li Si held the door open for him.
This Irishman followed Li Si into the house, and at the sight of two raw faces sitting in the living room, his pupils instantly clenched, and he subconsciously had to run away.
He thought he had been sold to the police by Li Si.
"Don't panic, it's business." Li Si took a step across the room and stood in the doorway.
The words pulled back Lumik's sanity.
The Irishman's chest rose and fell violently, but he sat down slowly.
"Say, you guys want to buy a dog or something?" He calmed himself.
"A thousand for a long dog, five hundred for a short one. If you want a greyhound, you'll have to bring your own materials or you'll have to pay extra and wait about thirty days."
Long dog? Short dogs? Greyhound?
Director Tian and Liu Jinsheng didn't understand, Li Si pressed Lumik's shoulder, "Don't sell them, they're allergic to dog hair."
"Oh, you're selling dog pups? I'm not allergic to dog hair, but I don't like keeping pets either is all." Liu Jinsheng thought he understood.
Lumik frowned at Li Si, not understanding why he was bringing himself to meet the two raw melons.
The long dog was a shotgun, the short dog was a pistol, and the grey dog was a shotgun, the kind he had sold to Li Si earlier.
But anyone who had been around for more than a year had no reason not to know these black words.
Director Tian tried to clear up the confusion for him, "Li Si said that you can come to our theatre group to play a role. Interested?"
The comment backfired, and Lumik was even more confused.
"What the hell kind of trick are you pulling?" He glared at Li Si.
"The pay is around three hundred thousand, sorry I can't give you more." Director Tian continued.
"I've always felt that I'm a piece of material to be an actor." Lumik replied immediately.
The problem was solved perfectly like this.
Lumik's appearance conditions were perfect for Director Tian's needs, but he still needed to ask a few more questions.
"What is your current job?"
The first question dumbfounded Lumik.
He glared frantically at Li Si, wondering if this was a plainclothes policeman condescending or not.
Li Si coughed softly, "He's a craftsman, usually focusing on finishing small ironwork."
"That's right that's right!" Lumik nodded vigorously.
"Erm ..."
Director Tian felt weird, but asked on anyway, "Why did you come to the country?"
Lumik's cold sweat brushed off.
Am I going to fucking tell you I smuggled myself here?
He looked to Li Si for help, only to find that the guy wasn't even looking this way.
Lips moving, Lumik suddenly held back a sentence, "My father ..."
He immediately shut up.
Li Si stood with his back to Lumik and narrowed his eyes.
This Irishman had been absolutely silent about his past, and now he finally let something slip.
"Ohhh, family reasons, understood." Instead of asking more questions, Director Tian jumped to the last question.
"Where do you think the bottom line of morality lies?"
This question seemed to press the pause button on the room, and Lumik shut up on the spot, sitting dumbfounded in his chair without saying a word.
An eerie silence fell over the room.
Director Tian didn't understand what was going on.
Then he suddenly noticed that the burly Irishman across from him was squeezing the table leg so tightly that his fingers had turned white.
This startled Director Tian.
I just want to see the actor's on-the-spot reaction and eloquence, why is this guy so agitated?
"Forget it, let's make an audition appointment." He hurriedly stood up.
Soon after, Director Tian and Liu Jinsheng left one after another. Lumik didn't stay long either and quickly offered to leave.
Li Si sent him to the door.
"Three hundred thousand in business, didn't quite get it, but thanks." Lumik said goodbye to Li Si.
Li Si, however, made a few off topic remarks.
"I always thought you shouldn't be in this business, Lumik. Other weapons dealers make a good living with clay guns, but you're stuck living in a cellar when your craftsmanship is industrial grade."
"In the last nine months, you've sold one dog. You wouldn't have sold me even that greyhound if you weren't really starving."
Li Si patted Lumik on the shoulder.
"Come to me, I can give you a second chance."
Lumik stared at Li Si, his face sinking in expression.
"You think you see through me?"
He spoke in a single, menacing word.
