"Here you go, please take a seat!" Sheng Jiaoyang walked over when he saw Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting coming in behind Xu Ping.
Everyone was already working together as partners and friends for the second time. Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting were not polite and sat down on the sofa. Then they looked at the furnishings in the office.
"Drink tea!" After Sheng Jiaoyang sat down, he poured a cup of tea for each of them.
While drinking tea, Ma Tingting said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated you enough for winning two awards."
"Didn't you already send congratulations on Weibo?" Sheng Jiaoyang said.
"How can congratulations on Weibo be the same as congratulations in person! An Liang, don't you think so?"
"Yes, it would be more sincere to congratulate in person." Qin Anliang agreed.
Sheng Jiaoyang smiled and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he said: "I was very busy a while ago and didn't talk about the content of the script in detail. Today we will finalize the content and discuss finding actors."
"Are you talking here?" Ma Tingting asked strangely.
Qin Anliang also looked at Sheng Jiaoyang with doubtful eyes. It was not good to talk about scripts in other people's offices.
"Yeah, let's talk here, no one will bother us."
Ma Tingting and Qin Anliang looked at each other. Ma Tingting smiled and said, "Your chairman is so generous. He actually gave up his office to us to discuss the script."
Xu Ping, who was also sitting next to him, burst into laughter.
"What's wrong? Am I right? I must be right. The sign hanging outside is the chairman's office, right?" Ma Tingting turned her head and glanced in the direction of the door. Of course, the door was closed at this time, and she I couldn't see the job board hanging outside.
"This is my office." Sheng Jiaoyang picked up his tea cup with a smile on his face.
"Ah? But I clearly saw the words 'Chairman's Office' written on the sign at the door. An Liang, did you see it?" Ma Tingting hurriedly looked for her teammates.
Qin Anliang nodded: "I saw it too."
"This is indeed the office of our chairman of Yuren International." Xu Ping said with certainty.
"Right, let me just say that I saw it right...wait, Jiaojiao?" Ma Tingting's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Sheng Jiaoyang with an incredulous look.
Sheng Jiaoyang just smiled.
Qin Anliang also responded, "Are you the chairman of Yuren International?"
This news is so exciting! It's even more surprising than Jiaojiao taking home two trophies at once.
"That's right." Sheng Jiaoyang said two words lightly.
Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting looked at each other again, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
But in a blink of an eye, they felt that it was not strange. In fact, it can be seen from the previous filming of TV series. People spent hundreds of millions of funds to invest in filming, and they took it as they came, as if such a large sum of money was just for their pockets. Like pocket money.
"The only feeling I have now is that even if something weird happens to you, I won't find it strange." Ma Tingting looked at Sheng Jiaoyang with emotion.
"Is there anything else that is unbelievable? This is already my trump card. The reason why I tell you two so frankly is that on the one hand, we are friends, and on the other hand, I want you to feel at ease in cooperating with me." Sheng Jiaoyang said.
"What can I be worried about? I won't be worried about you if I am worried about you." Qin Anliang quickly expressed his position. After the broadcast rights of "Double-Faced Lovers" were auctioned, he and Ma Tingting both made a fortune from it. For both of them, Personally speaking, it was a large amount of money, and I already had a subconscious understanding in my heart that I would have meat to eat with Jiaojiao.
"Then let's talk about the content of the script."
The so-called Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang, not to mention that the three of them are not Stooges. One is a director, one is a screenwriter, and the other is an actor. The three of them think from their own perspectives, and inspiration comes out in a spurt. The entire structure was set up in just one morning.
"It's dinner time, let's go, let's find a place to eat and chat." As noon approached, Sheng Jiaoyang stood up.
We arrived at a tea restaurant with a nice environment and found a relatively secluded booth to sit down. Here, Sheng Jiaoyang, Xu Ping, Zeng Huan, Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting made up a total of five people.
This afternoon tea can be eaten from noon to evening, and it is most suitable for chatting while eating.
After another long day of hard work, I finally finalized the content of the script and just waited for Ma Tingting to write it out.
"Jiaojiao, have you decided who you want to play the leading role?" After the script was finalized, Qin Anliang asked about the actor.
"We haven't found a suitable candidate yet." Sheng Jiaoyang shook his head.
"So Jiaojiao, what are your thoughts? What kind of person do you want to find?"
Sheng Jiaoyang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "I looked at a lot of people's information, but I didn't find one that I liked. This time I didn't want to find actors that everyone is familiar with, especially actors who have already partnered with me. I didn't I don’t want the audience to shift their attention from the characters and plot to the actors, so I just want to find a new face.”
"A new face? Do you want to find a new person to act? Will the new person's acting skills not be able to keep up? Although the compensation given by hiring a new person will be reduced a lot, the new person cannot bring his own traffic and popularity, and the box office may be..."
"I don't have high requirements for the box office. It would be great if I could get my money back. It's too early to say this now. Let's find someone first. Do you two recommend any good candidates?" Sheng Jiaoyang looked at the two of them.
"If you really want to find a newcomer, you might as well go to school to find one. Some juniors are quite good at acting." Qin Anliang said.
When Sheng Jiaoyang heard Qin Anliang's words, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind. She said, "What do you think if the selection process is turned into a competition?"
Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting were both stunned.
"You mean, like your previous supermodel competition, make it into a competition and then select people round by round?" Ma Tingting said in surprise.
"This just promotes our movie in advance and saves publicity costs." Sheng Jiaoyang thought about it a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
"The cost of publicity in the later period will be reduced, but the investment in early casting will be very high. First, you have to release the casting news, which is not a problem for you. Secondly, you have to form a casting team, from the audition to the final step. Every link must be arranged properly." Qin Anliang also thought about it seriously.
"Considering the investment cost, this method is better than going directly to the school to select people. After selecting the people, it is easier to make news."
Ma Tingting also agreed with Qin Anliang's words, "Yes, your casting method consumes too much time and energy. The cost of the competition is unpredictable, and this part of the investment cannot play a direct publicity role."
Both of them disagreed, but Sheng Jiaoyang was not discouraged. She said: "I know your concerns. If we find a cooperative platform and directly produce the casting competition into a program, all your concerns will not be a problem. "
Ma Tingting and Qin Anliang were stunned again. Neither of them expected that they could do this.
"If that's possible, it's indeed a good idea."
When Shen Zhining called, Sheng Jiaoyang was discussing the selection criteria with Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting. When he heard that he was off work, Sheng Jiaoyang told him the location of the tea restaurant, then hung up the phone and continued to discuss the selection. Some details.
When Shen Zhining rushed over, what he saw was that three people were having a heated discussion, while the other two people who couldn't get in the conversation at all were playing on their mobile phones.
Seeing Shen Zhining, Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting stood up quickly and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Shen!"
Shen Zhining nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the snacks on the table, put a hand on Sheng Jiaoyang's shoulder, leaned close to her and asked, "The discussion is not over yet?"
"Come on, why don't you just sit here and wait for me for a while?"
Shen Zhining sat down next to her obediently and ate the small pastry on the plate in front of her.
For Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting, Boss Shen's arrival put great pressure on them. He obviously didn't do anything, but his presence here gave people an invisible pressure.
"Jiaojiao, we are almost done thinking about it. You can go back today and we will talk about other things later." Ma Tingting said at Qin Anliang's signal.
"Okay then, let's meet again later. That's it for today." Sheng Jiaoyang also noticed the discomfort between the two of them, so she said without any reluctance.
After Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting left, Sheng Jiaoyang also asked Xu Ping and Zeng Huan to go back, and suddenly she and Shen Zhining were the only ones left in this corner.
"You haven't eaten yet, do you want to order some food here and eat before leaving?" Sheng Jiaoyang tilted his head and looked at Shen Zhining.
"Are you full?" Shen Zhining asked without answering.
"I ate all afternoon."
"As long as you're full, let's go home."
Shen Zhining naturally picked up Sheng Jiaoyang's coat when she stood up, and wrapped it around her when she reached the door.
When they got to the car, Sheng Jiaoyang talked about her day's itinerary very consciously, and also talked about the casting. Shen Zhining didn't care that she wanted to choose a new person. He cared about another thing.
"Is there an intimate scene?"
Yes, although Boss Shen supports her acting career, he is obviously still worried about the intimate scene.
When filming "Double Lovers" before, Sheng Jiaoyang took Shen Zhening's feelings into consideration. Those kissing scenes were all shot in borrowed positions. In some places where she couldn't borrow the scene, she even found a kiss substitute.
Speaking of the kiss substitute, when she hired a kiss substitute, Ye Fan almost gave up the job because he felt unbalanced. For this reason, he had to find a male kiss substitute, so there was a kissing scene in the scene. , neither the male or female protagonist is himself.
"There are no intimate scenes for now. This is a comparison..." Sheng Jiaoyang searched for words in his mind, "It's a fresh and fresh movie. What it wants is pure love, without any erotic scenes."
Hearing this, Shen Zhining's expression relaxed obviously. (To be continued)
