Chapter 33 Role Selection

The next day, Zhang Duo came to Wanbang Film and Television Company again. In addition to the five people yesterday, there was a middle-aged man in his forties in the conference room. Jin Yutang got up and introduced, "A Duo, this is Chen Feiyang, the artistic director of our company, and this is Zhang Duo, the author of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."

The two sat down after shaking hands with each other. Song Siwei said, "Today, our main job is to determine the main actors of Tianlong Babu. I went back and read the script yesterday and studied it with Yutang and Feiyang. The main roles are Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu and Wang Yuyan. Secondary roles include Murong Fu, A Zhu, A Zi, Duan Zhengchun and Mu Wanqing. As for other supporting actors, we can conduct auditions.

Jin Yutang said: "The role of Xiao Feng has been confirmed to be played by Ji Liancheng. He is currently visiting his hometown and will come here in a few days."

Gu Zongling was surprised, "Do you think Liancheng will play Xiao Feng? Great. As soon as I saw the role of Xiao Feng, what came to my mind was Liancheng. I still regretted for him before. I didn't expect to cooperate with him again. It's really great. If he plays Xiao Feng, the play will be half successful!"

When Gu Zongling directed Wu Song, he cooperated with Ji Liancheng. Naturally, he knew Ji Liancheng's acting skills and sympathized with his experience. Now he is very happy to see Ji Liancheng have such an opportunity.

Song Siwei said, "Ji Liancheng's appearance and temperament are indeed very similar to Xiao Feng. We are lucky to find such an actor. However, there is no suitable candidate for the roles of Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan. If anyone has a suitable role, you might as well talk about it.

Gu Zongling said, "Tan Yiwen and Guo Qianning are more consistent in appearance and temperament. We might as well contact each other's brokerage company."

Jin Yutang sneered: "The Sacred Heart Film and Television Company is now preparing for the filming of Romance of the Later Three Kingdoms. How can its popular artists give it to us?" After saying that, he was a little indignant. Although Wanbang Film and Television Company is rich, it is a rising star after all. It has been less than two years since its establishment, and its artists' resources are seriously scarce. Otherwise, they will not discuss their roles and prepare for the audition, and directly arrange for its artists to share the results.

Shen Qing brushed his hair and said, "I have a suitable candidate, Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu. It is also more consistent in appearance and temperament. At present, the two are popular newcomers, popular, and the best couple on the screen. In addition, their brokerage company is only a small company, so it should not be a big problem to talk about it.

Song Siwei and Jin Yutang looked at each other and thought it was okay, and then asked Chen Feiyang to call now. It would be too sad to be booked by others first at this time.

Several people continued to discuss the role. When talking about Murong Fu, Du Wenhui recommended a candidate - Lu Shaoxiong. Lu Shaoxiong's acting skills are outstanding, slender and not bad. Since his debut, he has played many sinister villain roles. He is usually quiet and respectful to people, but in fact, he has a ghost in his heart and betrays his brothers. As the saying goes, there is a knife hidden in the smile, which is sharp and restrained, killing people invisibly.

Song Siwei and others all think that the candidate recommended by Du Wenhui was good. When he was about to pass, Zhang Duo said, "I don't think Supervisor Du has read my script carefully, and his understanding of Murong Fu has been biased."

Du Wenhui said angrily, "You talk nonsense, I don't understand it well?"

Gu Zongling said with a smile, "Wenhui, don't be impatient. You might as well listen to Director Zhang's explanation!"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Murong is a heavenly man, which is unattainable. It is the desire for power that makes him gradually corrupt into the mud under the ground. To highlight the difference between heaven and earth, we must find a noble star to play Murong Fu.

"Supervisor Du was not familiar with the script and thought that Murong Fu was the villain in the play, a big supporting role. Just find someone with acting skills and good looks to play. However, with all due respect, Lv Shaoxiong's eyes are godless, his eyes are evil, his face is hateful, and he is not very noble. This arrangement actually weakens persuasiveness. If Murong Fu is such a mediocre person, his encounter will not make people sigh; Wang Yuyan will not worship him, and Duan Yu will not be ashamed of himself. They will not wait until the bottom of the well to achieve positive results! Also, Abi in Tianlong, such a lovely girl, didn't say in the script that she was blind. How could she fall in love with such a man!"

In fact, when Zhang Duo watched the 97 and 03 versions of Demi-Devils, the biggest doubt was whether there was something wrong with his aesthetics. These two versions of Murong Fu couldn't see the appearance of dragons and phoenix in people. Wang Yuyan actually fell in love with him, and Duan Yu was ashamed of himself in front of him, which was really too bad. Science!

After hearing Zhang Duo's words, several people nodded one after another. Shen Qing said, "Director Zhang said so, but I have a choice in my heart. Shi Tianyou, a powerful student, has a broad road to play, not limited to good and evil, and his acting skills are beyond doubt. Moreover, he is magnificent, his sword eyebrows are in his temples, his eyes are bright, his eyes are full of confidence, his face is like a hard stone, and his sharp nose is even more arrogant. Such a handsome figure can be called a dragon and phoenix among his superiors. I believe that when Murong Fu, who plays the role of the dragon, finally appears, he will definitely convince the audience.

Song Siwei said with a smile, "Okay, just as Miss Shen Qing said." Du Wenhui listened, but his face was bitter.

On the same day, the main and secondary actors were identified. Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu also verbally agreed on the phone, expressing their willingness to play Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan. They are just newcomers who have just become popular. They still know about Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, which is currently hyped by public opinion. In addition, both of them are watching the novels of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. They are still very satisfied with being able to play Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan.

More than a week later, Wanbang Film and Television Company conducted another role audition. Zhang Duo, as a director, is naturally one of the judges. Under the condition of considerable acting skills, Zhang Duo tries to choose beautiful women, so after the shooting of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, I believe that the beautiful women full screen will make the group of otaku drool.

During this period, the public opinion in the newspaper was not idle. The media compared the two major productions planned recently. Because the female roles in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are better in public opinion as long as the beauty's gimmicks are more powerful.

In the capital, in Shengxin Film and Television Company, Wang Cheng, who has adapted the script, said to Dai Anmin: "The publicity of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils has repeatedly taken advantage of our east, but the momentum is above the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is really abominable. Anmin, is it so cheap for them? The production cycles of the two plays are similar, and there is no guarantee that they will not compete with us for ratings in the future!"

Dai Anmin smiled and said, "So what? Whether a TV series is successful or not, hype is one aspect, but in the end it depends on the quality. At present, there are only four actors who can do it in that play. Although Ji Liancheng's acting skills are good, after all, his popularity has dissipated, so there is nothing to worry about. Shi Tianyou is highly qualified, but he is unlucky and he can't always be the most popular student. As for Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu, they are now popular, but if they switch to our "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the popularity and public opinion will be used for us.

Wang Cheng applauded and laughed, "Anmin, you are still far-sighted!" Then he said, "But now the public opinion and popularity of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are so popular that it should not be easy to dig them up, right?"

Dai Anmin said with a confident smile, "Not everyone can say NO to CCTV.

On December 9, Dai Anmin sat together with Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu in a cafe in the capital. Dai Anmin said, "You are the best couple on the screen and good friends in life, that's why I found you together. I know you have promised to take the play of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, but I heard that you haven't signed a contract with Wanbang Film and Television, have you?

After Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu looked at each other, Zheng Zecheng said, "It's true that no. On the one's, we were still filming in Jiangnan before, and on the other, it was Wanbang Film and Television's trust in us."

Dai Anmin said with a smile, "Wanbang's Jinyutang and I are good friends. It is reasonable that I should not rob the actors he chose, but we did it for the sake of art!" I know that Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan are the hero and heroine, but the role of Lanling King and Yang Xuewu is also very heavy, and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the opening drama of CCTV. Many celebrities participate in it, and many people have to seek a role at half price or even 30% of the remuneration. In Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, in addition to you and Ji Liancheng, who plays Xiao Feng, and Shi Tianyou of Murong Fu, the rest are not third-rate little actors or newcomers. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been serialized, but Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is still being serialized. Although the momentum is very strong now, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not end well in the future! What's more, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils actually uses a high school student as a director, which is really worrying about the future. That's all I said. How to consider it is up to you two.

Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu discussed it and said that they would go back and think about it and reply to Dai Anmin in a few days. Dai Anmin left with a confident smile.

On December 10, in the Jinyutang office of Bincheng Wanbang Film and Television Company, Zhang Duo lay on the sofa and said, "Cousin Yu, Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu have not come to the crew to report so far. Nothing will happen!"

Jin Yutang said carelessly, "What can happen? After all, they are popular stars and must put on airs. You can't treat them equally!"

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door. Jin Yutang shouted in and saw Dai Anmin appear at the door. Zhang Duo thought to himself that Dai Anmin was a night owl who entered the house and had nothing to do!

Dai Anmin came over, first said hello to Jin Yuzhi, who came to play on the weekend, and then took Jin Yutang's hand and said very sincerely, "Brother, it's really wrong. You also know how to cooperate with CCTV. I'm just a man who listens and runs errands. I have to go there, that is, it's a way out. Who knows why Zheng Zecheng and Su Xiaoyu agreed? I'm so sorry for you. So, brother, what else is missing in your play, venue, props, or clothing? Brothers can help you solve it. Even if there is a lack of funds, brothers can help you cushion it.

Jin Yutang heard it, and the expression that he didn't care just now disappeared in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then thank you so much, Brother Dai!"
