The news that the filming of "Blood Pool Picture" was about to start spread quickly, and the author Chun Qiusheng himself affirmed it. Although he won't be involved in screenwriting, he will attend auditions and choose a few suitable protagonists.
The producer and investors of this TV series were quickly found, and the director is also a veteran of martial arts dramas, so there is almost nothing to worry about. In the current IP era, as long as you say something, these things that troubled directors in the past are almost not a problem.
Now, the only problem is that there are quite a few characters in the novel, including Xiaoyaosheng, one of the main characters, there are almost a dozen characters that have not been selected yet.
The author, Chun Qiusheng, is well-known and appreciated by many martial arts masters. Therefore, when finalizing the candidate, the producer more or less depends on his opinion.
Chun Qiusheng, the male and female protagonist, has seen it himself, and his acting skills are good. After trying the fixed makeup photos, it also fits the image in the book. What is depressing is the character of Xiaoyaozi. The character design of this character is definitely not bad. On the contrary, it attracts those loli fans, but the bad thing is that everyone knows that this character is good.
When everyone knows about a good thing, there are more people who want to grab it.
At least the producer has received several calls from popular Xiaosheng, all expressing their interest in the role of Xiaoyaosheng. But among these few people, none of them could completely overwhelm the others, so the producer couldn't help but hesitate, and simply held an audition meeting to see who was the most suitable.
Since there is no default decision, it means that everyone has the opportunity to compete for the role of Xiaoyaosheng. All of a sudden, many managers were ready to move, planning to stuff their own artists into it.
Even if they can't compete with Xiaoyaosheng, aren't there other roles? The original martial arts drama after many years is unique no matter in terms of discussion or other aspects. How can such an opportunity be missed
Liu Tianyi had an old relationship with Xinghai Entertainment before, and now he not only got a piece of news in advance, but also stuffed Mei Zihan into this audition.
When Liu Tianyi called, friends from Xinghai Entertainment also tried to persuade Liu Tianyi.
"As a friend, I'm very happy to see you back in the entertainment circle. But the role of Xiaoyaosheng is very important. Although there is no default candidate, the male and female protagonists are quite topical. Choose. It is very difficult for Mei Zihan to get the role of Xiaoyaosheng, but among the remaining roles, if you really want, I can help you get one... "
In the entire "Blood Pond Picture", almost half of it is Xiaoyaosheng's conspiracy. The friendship and calculation between him and the hero are also quite attractive. In the popularity poll, Xiaoyaosheng's votes are also far ahead. With so many people staring at such a role, if Mei Zihan wants to grab it, the chances are slim.
"I know, thank you." Liu Tianyi said with a smile, "But since I became his manager, I naturally have to consider my artist. The role of Xiaoyaosheng is difficult, but I believe Mei Zihan will perform well. "
"Well, since you are so confident, then I will wait and see."
As soon as Liu Tian hung up the phone, his expression was not as relaxed as before.
"No, the standing posture is wrong. Go stand against the wall for ten minutes and stand upright." Jiang Ying instructed Mei Zihan while flipping through the newly arrived book "Blood Pond Picture".
Mei Zihan went to stand for punishment in a bitter haha.
"Don't tell me you want to teach me how to be handsome? Why do I want to practice this kind of thing?" Mei Zihan straightened up under Jiang Ying's gaze.
"I don't think there is any problem with Mr. Jiang's training." Liu Tianyi interjected after he came out, "Practice your posture first, and then you will be attractive in your gestures. If you think being handsome is just a matter of smiling nicely, you can't." Wrong. If you want to release your charm, first you have to forget that you are a handsome guy."
"... There are contradictions in your words, didn't you notice?" Mei Zihan's tone was not so good for Liu Tianyi, "I have been a handsome guy since I was a child, and this cognition has been engraved in my bones."
"Everything in the world is contradictory." Jiang Ying retorted, "If you wink and talk glib again, you will be fined for another half an hour."
Mei Zihan made a gesture of zipping his mouth shut, signaling that he would stop talking.
"Xiaomei, do you know how many merchants I have received to endorse you since I became your agent?" Liu Tian turned his eyes around, looked at Mei Zihan and asked.
Mei Zihan was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to speak, as if to say "I finally have an endorsement".
If you have an endorsement, you will get money, so Jiang Ying can't say that she is lazy.
"May I just tell you what are the people who are looking for you to speak for now?" Liu Tian saw through Mei Zihan's thoughts, and couldn't help but sneered, "Madam's good brand household detergent, good sun brand detergent Bowl machine, sweeping light brand mop... "
Liu Tianyi read the names of several brands one after another, and Mei Zihan finally realized, "Why are they all household items? Also, did you mispronounce a word for these brands? What is Madam's good brand? I’ve only heard of Taitai Le.”
"I didn't say a single word wrong." Liu Tianyi said meaningfully, "Really familiar home brands don't need celebrities to advertise at all, they are advertisements themselves. Only these counterfeit brands need advertisements to increase their popularity. "
"...Are all the advertisements looking for me like this?" Mei Zihan still couldn't accept it, "There must be something else."
"Almost all of these. Some magazines have already named you the 'son-in-law of the nation', and your face is still very well-known among the audience of mothers." Liu Tian spread his hands.
"It's better to be well-known than not to be well-known." Mei Zihan was stubborn.
But Mei Zihan was still a little depressed after all.
Why is it that other people are all kinds of high-end clothes, snacks, bags, watches and lipsticks, and when it's his turn, they are all dishwasher mops
It's almost a little too big.
"So I've pushed them all for you." Liu Tianyi said with a relaxed tone, "What you lack the most now are works for young audiences, so apart from the role of Xiaoyaosheng in "Blood Pond", you have to work hard to compete. I also plan to accept a web drama for you."
"Internet drama?" Mei Zihan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even have time to ask about Liu Tianyi's rejection of all his endorsements. Although he doesn't like these endorsements, he can always choose one or two to make some money Bar.
"That's right, online drama." Liu Tianyi affirmed, "Xiaoyaosheng is the opposite of your previous character image, which will help you open up your drama path. But what kind of ratings can martial arts themes create? , no one can tell. The advantage of web dramas is that they have a variety of themes and the shooting time is short. I am confident that I can talk to you about a good salary. A good web drama is enough to make you familiar with young audiences .”
And eggs can't be put in one basket. If the role of Xiaoyaosheng really fails in the competition, at least there is an online drama that can guarantee the bottom line, so that Mei Zihan won't have no work.
Liu Tianyi didn't want to turn Mei Zihan into a short-lived idol star, but hoped that his acting life could be extended as much as possible, climbing to peaks one after another. Therefore, in the next few years, Mei Zihan must release one or two works every year, and achieve good ratings and reputation, and then slowly launch an impact on good movies on the big screen.
Just like Li Ruo back then, the first film was well-produced and well-received, and he no longer had to spend time in bad movies like other TV stars.
No, Mei Zihan has to do better than Li Ruo.
Because at Mei Zihan's age, Li Ruo had already won his first Best Actress trophy, but Mei Zihan had just started.
time does not wait.
Jiang Ying was thoughtful, "Is there a lot of competition pressure for the role of Xiaoyaosheng?"
"Very big." Liu Tianyi knew that he might not be able to hide the truth from Jiang Ying, "Xiaomei revealed to me before that his ex-boyfriend is Zhuang Hanbai. Zhuang Hanbai is now considered a second-tier niche in the entertainment industry. In "Drunken Fairy Dust" He could still get a second actor who was equal to the male lead. But in this "Blood Pond Picture", the possibility of him competing for the role of Xiaoyaosheng is not even 30%. So he just gave up and didn't come to the audition at all. "
Mei Zihan felt a little pressure from the side.
Although it is true that he hates Zhuang Hanbai, it cannot be denied that this guy is still quite popular, especially in costume dramas, he is simply handy.
"The audition will be held in about half a month, and the script is still in the confidential stage. However, this novel is well-known, and it is unlikely to be changed drastically, so it is estimated that the questions will be randomly selected during the audition."
In other words, in the next half month, Mei Zihan must thoroughly understand the entire novel in order to cope with the random questions at that time. Of course, the important scenes of Xiaoyaosheng can be understood from the book, and they must be practiced repeatedly of.
"Now there is only one feasible way for Xiaomei to successfully compete for this role, that is, his performance can overwhelm other competitors, and win the affirmation of the author Chun Qiusheng and the director with an absolute advantage." Liu Tianyi rubbed his forehead, "His The face is fresh enough for a costume drama, and with a broken ratings record in hand, it may not be impossible to fight."
Jiang Ying nodded affirmatively, "I have read this book almost, and I will start to help Ahan do some training. In addition, I hope you can find a dress and headgear that are probably suitable for Xiaoyaosheng, and let Ahan change it first." Come on, so that he can find his feelings."
The current Mei Zihan is not to mention acting in costume dramas. The modern family dramas and anti-war dramas he has been acting in the past have completely washed away the classical flavor of him. Jiang Ying doubts that Mei Zihan is in his current state. , Putting on the robe, it is estimated that he could step on the corner of his clothes and fall down.
Although Mei Zihan didn't know what Jiang Ying was slandering now, she could still feel the explosive atmosphere in the hall.
As the lowest level of ecology in this room, Mei Zihan obediently straightened his body and decided to stand for another ten minutes.
The author has something to say: Mei Zihan: ... The son-in-law of the nation, in fact, this title is pretty good, right
Mothers and seniors: Daughter, get married quickly and find someone like Mei Zihan.
The girls who were forced to marry turned black on Mei Zihan passers-by!
