Dragon City, Miracle Company, President’s Office.
Yue Guan met Mr. Feng Li, the screenwriter of "Love Through Time and Space".
Before meeting Feng Li, Yue Guan thought that Mo Xiangwan would definitely take the initiative in cooperating with Feng Li.
After meeting the real person, Yue Guan realized that he was wrong.
Mo Xiangwan is also a younger brother.
Feng Li is a national first-level screenwriter who has won two Feitian Awards. She is still an iron rice bowl within the system. Her main job is the deputy leader of the Longguo Coal Mine Art Troupe and the director of the Art Committee.
A screenwriter of this level is definitely not something that can be handled casually.
Fortunately, the friendship between Mo Xiangwan and Feng Li was very good.
And Feng Li's attitude towards Li Ruotong was even more enthusiastic and respectful.
Yue Guan understood that it seemed that Feng Li knew Li Ruotong's identity.
This was the benefit of him holding Li Ruotong's thigh. Li Ruotong didn't have much money, but he had good reincarnation skills.
"Hello, Teacher Feng, I am Yue Guan." Yue Guan took the initiative to lower his posture and held Feng Li's right hand with both hands.
When Feng Li saw Yue Guan, her eyes lit up: "What a handsome young man."
Yue Guan smiled shyly.
Feng Li was born in 1966. Yue Guan was tired of hearing praises from elders of this age.
There's nothing I can do about it, it's just the trouble of being handsome.
Feng Li was originally dissatisfied with Yue Guan playing the male lead in her script, but after seeing Yue Guan in person, these dissatisfaction immediately disappeared.
Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan looked at each other, Mo Xiangwan raised an eyebrow at him, and Yue Guan curled his lips.
Mo Xiangwan's information is correct, Feng Li is a beauty control.
Just prescribe the right medicine.
Yue Guan and Feng Li got to know each other briefly, and then they started to get down to business.
"Teacher Feng, do you have any requirements for actors?" Li Ruotong asked proactively.
The main purpose of their meeting this time was to determine the cast of the drama "Love Through Time", and they called Feng Li here to show their respect for her.
Anyway, it was up to Yue Guan and the others to decide whether to use her favorite actor or not.
Feng Li also knew it well. She had already collected all the money. Logically speaking, she had no right to dictate matters regarding actors and production. It was a sign of affection for others to ask her to give advice, and it was normal to ignore her.
Therefore, Feng Li did not overstep his authority, but said: "The actors chosen should best match the characters of the script, and try to choose some with acting skills. If they are good-looking, even better."
She didn't directly mention looking for a big star.
Before coming here, she checked Miracle Company's information and came to the conclusion that it had a strong background but little money.
So there is no need to say things that are impossible to achieve.
Li Ruotong was very satisfied with Feng Li's answer, and dropped a bombshell: "Through my uncle's relationship, I found a group of teachers from the National Theater to come as guest stars. Of course, they were guest appearances, but they were actually supporting roles. , and basically no money is charged.”
Not only Feng Li, but also Mo Xiangwan and Yue Guan were shocked.
"National dialect? Is that the national dialect?" Feng Li really couldn't contain her surprise.
Li Ruotong chuckled: "It's the National Theater, the highest-level national performing arts group in the entire Dragon Kingdom."
Yue Guan felt more and more that his thigh held him well.
The National Theater is at the top of the entertainment industry’s contempt chain.
In the entertainment industry, people who are despised are not ranked according to how much money they make, but rather drama actors are greater than film actors, TV actors are greater than variety show actors.
Although I don’t make much money from acting in dramas, my acting skills are high. Although there are not many people in the audience who watch dramas, many viewers subconsciously think that the actors who perform in dramas must have good acting skills.
This perception is naturally not objective, but if it is placed on the National Theater, there is actually nothing wrong with it.
Because they are in the national team, just like in the music industry, if the national team comes down to earth, if there are still a few mortals who can't survive, they are not worthy of being called the national team.
Li Suggestion was from the National Theater of China. He was Li Ruotong's uncle. Li Ruotong connected with Mandarin through him, so there was nothing wrong with it.
"The role of Zhu Yuanzhang is either Teacher Li Xuejian or Teacher Ni Dahong. Because this role has more scenes, it depends on the schedule of the two teachers, and the remuneration cannot be saved. As for other supporting roles, they are basically free of charge."
Yue Guan wanted to applaud Li Ruotong.
Feng Li directly did what he wanted to do but didn't do.
"Mr. Li has great connections. I admire him. I admire him. In this way, the acting skills of our drama are basically guaranteed. When choosing the leading actor, we can not pursue acting skills and give priority to popularity."
Although Feng Li is from the older generation, her ideas are still very trendy.
The sky is big and the earth is big, the fire is the biggest.
Unfortunately, her idea probably won't come true.
Because Miracle Company has no money and cannot hire big-name and popular celebrities.
"It has been confirmed that Yue Guan will play Zhu Di. Does Teacher Feng have any objections?" Li Ruotong asked.
"No, with Yue Guan's appearance, he will definitely be able to soar into the sky."
Even if she had an opinion, Feng Li would not say it.
She's not stupid.
"Where's Zhu Yunwen? Does Teacher Feng have a favorite candidate?"
Feng Li hesitated.
She does exist, but I guess the crew can't afford to hire her, and people don't like this kind of small-investment TV series.
She finally shook her head.
Li Ruotong looked at Mo Xiangwan again.
Mo Xiangwan directly took out the list he had drawn up.
"Zhu Yunwen's image in the script is kind, infatuated, and weak, but he also has his own paranoia and cruelty. Overall, he needs to be played by a handsome and thin male star. I have only selected these four for the time being."
Li Ruotong read out the names directly: "Xu Feng, Pan Yueming, Qiao Zhenyu, Zhu Yilong."
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Li Ruotong directly crossed out a name: "If you remove Xu Feng, he will never be able to take on a role from our company."
Mo Xiangwan smiled bitterly: "Ruotong, Xu Feng and I have settled our differences. His image and reputation are very suitable for playing Zhu Yunwen, and the salary is not high."
"If I say no, I just can't." Li Ruotong showed off a domineering CEO.
Yue Guan picked up his cell phone and searched for Xu Feng's information. He had never heard of this guy in the previous world.
But after seeing the news that Xu Feng and Mo Xiangwan had terminated their contract, Yue Guan knew why Li Ruotong had such a reaction.
He stood on Li Ruotong's side: "Sister Xiang Wan, you are now the general manager of Miracle Company. Don't dwell on the past anymore. Don't always think about creating opportunities for Bai Yanlang. When people terminate your contract, they don't think about it. How much harm will it cause you. And when he was angry, he didn't reconcile with you."
Mo Xiangwan sighed: "Xu Feng actually has a good nature."
"Stop it." Yue Guan frowned: "Sister Xiang Wan, if you are nice to everyone, is it fair to those who are really nice to you?"
Mo Xiangwan was stunned.
Yue Guan nodded to Li Ruotong.
Li Ruotong nodded slightly, no longer entangled in Xu Feng's matter, but continued to analyze: "Based on Pan Yueming's national status and personal image, it is indeed suitable for Zhu Yunwen, but is he a bit too old?"
"You can put on makeup."
"That would be too difficult for the makeup artist, and in reality Pan Yueming is so much older than Yue Guan, but in the TV series Yue Guan has to play his uncle..."
Li Ruotong felt that the audience might not be able to accept it.
"Yue Guan, what do you think?"
Yue Guan and Li Ruotong have similar thoughts: "The image is very suitable, and the acting skills are not to mention, the only problem is his age... Also, can we invite Pan Yueming now? There is no reason for him to carry the sedan chair for me."
Now Lao Pan hasn't divorced Dong Lianhua yet, and it's not to the point where he can't get any roles.
Seeing that Yue Guan had the same idea as him, Li Ruotong temporarily ignored Pan Yueming and looked at the next name.
"Qiao Zhenyu? Are he and Pan Yueming about the same age?"
"Yes, but he doesn't look old." Mo Xiangwan said seriously.
Li Ruotong: "..."
She felt like she was fooling herself.
Without denying it, Li Ruotong looked at the last name: "Who is Zhu Yilong?"
Mo Xiangwan said: "A newcomer with great potential. I am very optimistic about his future. I originally wanted to sign him. His image is also very suitable for Zhu Yunwen."
Yue Guan glanced at Mo Xiangwan unexpectedly.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of image, Zhu Yilong can indeed play Zhu Yunwen.
only:
"His reputation is too low. No one will recognize him when he sells dramas." Li Ruotong shook his head.
Yue Guan is already a newcomer to the film and television industry, so the role of Zhu Yunwen cannot be played by a newcomer.
"It will be very cheap to find him." Mo Xiangwan mentioned one of Zhu Yilong's competitive advantages, and specially emphasized the word "very": "In addition, in terms of age, he and Xu Feng are the most suitable. of."
Yue Guan didn't know Zhu Yilong well in 2010, but he knew that Zhu Yilong would become a top player in the future.
Among the traffic fans, Zhu Yilong is considered low-key. Except for the release of new movies, he rarely stays on the hot searches. He is simply a clean stream in the traffic.
Picking up his phone, Yue Guan checked Zhu Yilong's current information.
Then, he couldn't sit still.
"Is Zhu Yilong's online drama "Soul" about to be released?" Yue Guan looked at this Danmei drama that was supposed to appear in 2018 and felt ecstatic that he had picked up 10 million.
Mo Xiangwan knew Zhu Yilong's information very well, and nodded when he heard this: "With his current fame and status, he can only film online dramas like this that are not on the stage. "The Soul" is a Danmei drama, investment It is very small, and the director has cut off the beauty line, so it is difficult to become popular. Five Star Video does not attach much importance to this web drama and will not invest too many resources in "The Soul"."
Although she recommended Zhu Yilong, she still had her own opinion.
Yue Guan looked at the release date of "Soul of the Soul", which was still half a month away.
"Sister Xiang Wan, do you think Zhu Yilong is particularly cheap now?"
"That's right, he basically doesn't pay for taking roles now. He just needs to shoot some. We still give him the leading role, so we can sign him for a bargain price. I have his contact information, and he is currently on vacation."
"It's him."
Get it at a cabbage price before "The Soul" is released.
By the time "Soul" is released, it will basically be equivalent to a net profit of tens of millions.
"The Soul" is indeed a web drama of average quality, but it couldn't hold up its popularity, which directly made Zhu Yilong famous.
This will save a lot of publicity funds.
The feeling of buying the bottom is great.
