Clarence, Avid, Johnnies and others all thought Li Fan's method was not very reliable.

After hesitating for a moment, Clarence said: "Does Mr. Li Fan really plan to shoot such a movie?"

Li Fan understood what Clarence, Avid, Johnnies and others were thinking, and said without explaining it, "Mr. Clarence, I have indeed made such a decision. And I feel that this will be a very correct decision. As for the matter of Mansfield State Prison, I am willing to pay a rental fee."

Clarence said: "To be honest, I am not very optimistic about Mr. Li Fan's movie. However, Mr. Li Fan is willing to shoot this movie in our Mansfield State Prison. Although Mr. Li Fan is just shooting, there is no need to pay the rental fee. We are willing to let Mr. Li Fan shoot it for free."

Avid also said: "This is indeed our honor, Mr. Li Fan just takes photos."

Although Clarence, Avid, Johnnies and others do not believe that Li Fan's films can make Mansfield State Prison famous, it is indeed honored that Li Fan's choice to shoot at Mansfield State Prison.

The prison had been abandoned for many years and had been panicking. Li Fan's shooting there would not have any impact on them.

Since that's the case, let Li Fan take pictures, where is the cost required?

Even Avid and others who insisted on demolishing the prison did not mention the demolition at this time, thinking about waiting for Li Fan's film to be filmed before talking about it.

Anyway, I can't convince Clarence and Johnnis in a short period of time, so let Li Fan make a movie first.

After hearing Clarence and Avid say this, Li Fan did not pretentiously and said, "Since that's the case, I'll thank Mr. Clarence, Mr. Avid, and you guys. You may be surprised when my movie is released."

Clarence, Avid, Johnnies and others naturally understood what the surprise Li Fan was talking about. Although they still felt it was unreliable, it was indeed a kind of hope.

Clarence laughed and said, "Then I wish Mr. Li Fan good luck in this movie. However, Mr. Li Fan, the prison has been abandoned for many years and the facilities in some places have been damaged. We do not guarantee whether it can meet the shooting requirements."

Li Fan said: "If possible, I'm going to go to the prison to conduct a field investigation. I will make appropriate repairs to the damaged areas."

Clarence, Avid, Johnnies and others looked at each other and nodded. Clarence said: "Of course, if Mr. Li Fan doesn't mind, we are willing to accompany Mr. Li Fan."

Li Fan said: "It's natural and best, thanks to Mr. Clarence."

Then, Clarence, Avid and Johnnis accompanied Li Fan out, Hu Fei, Kong Xinlin, Guo Tai, and the two starring Robbins and Morgan, all rested and waited in the lounge.

Li Fan introduced the two sides, and naturally there was a greeting between them. Clarence, Avid and Johnnies looked at Robbins and Morgan several times. They had never heard of their names before, but it was obvious that both of them were not well-known actors.

Neither starring is very famous. Clarence, Avid and Johnnies couldn't help but feel that what Li Fan said was even more unreliable.

However, they did not show it.

...

The group came to Mansfield State Prison. The location was not remote. It was just outside the suburbs of Mansfield City and covered a large area, but because it had been abandoned for many years, it seemed a bit deserted.

"Is this Mansfield State Prison?" Li Fan sighed in his heart. He could vaguely feel that the prison scene he saw was similar to the scene in the previous movie "The Shawshank Redemption".

The Mansfield State Prison in his previous life was retained by "The Shawshank Redemption" and became a tourist attraction. Li Fan actually wanted to visit it all the time, but with the conditions in his previous life, it was almost impossible to do anything.

This life can also be regarded as making up for the regrets of the previous life.

Walking into the prison gate, Clarence said: "Mr. Li Fan, I'm very sorry. It really looks very worn."

Li Fan said: "Mr. Clarence, this is exactly what I need. My story takes place in the middle of the last century, and it feels just right. Of course, some places do need to be properly repaired."

"Did the story take place in the mid-century?" Clarence nodded and smiled. "That's right, it was indeed just right. In the mid-century, the prison did exist."

Robbins had seen the prison from afar, but had never walked in. Morgan only heard the name of the prison for the first time yesterday. The two of them were looking around at the prison, which was their main shooting site.

Morgan said: "Robbins, I think it's pretty good. This is the first time in my life that prison is a good place."

Robbins said: "I look okay. However, I heard from Mr. Li Fan that I was imprisoned in, which made me feel a little bad."

"That's really bad," Morgan said.

While talking, the group walked the entire prison. Li Fan confirmed the shooting scene and the places that needed repair.

Next, the prison repair work and the recruitment of actors will be carried out at the same time. In addition to the two leading actors, several secondary actors will be required and a large number of extras will be required.

Li Fan temporarily rented a place in Mansfield State City as the crew's office and destination. At the same time, through the media, he issued an announcement to the outside world about recruiting actors.

The news that Li Fan began to renovate the Mansfield State Prison was also reported by the media.

The movie about Li Fan is very topical now, and countless people are paying attention to it. Naturally, the media will not miss such an opportunity. Any news related to Li Fan's movie will be reported as soon as possible.

Many media reporters also rushed to Mansfield City and were preparing to search for more related news.

As various news spread, there were naturally heated discussions outside.

"Oh! Li Fan's movements are very fast. He is already starting to renovate Mansfield State Prison. Is this the rhythm of preparing to start shooting?"

"The filming should not be so fast, and the actors have not been found yet. Moreover, there seem to be a lot of actors needed."

"The two leading actors have been confirmed, and the other actors should be soon. I originally thought that it would be difficult to find actors with such a theme, but I didn't expect that the two leading actors have been determined directly now."

"Every actor has his own idea, especially those who are not famous. Perhaps all they need is just a pay, and they don't care about reputation or something. Of course, for them, reputation is actually not important, and few people know them anyway."

"The crew has also been established. I have no objection to director Hu Fei. The key is that the subject matter itself is not good."

"Photo, shoot, don't shoot, how do we know how bleak the box office will be after it is released?"

“That’s true.”

“…”
