Li Ruotong was very puzzled by Yue Guan's support for Zhu Yilong.
"Are you optimistic that "The Soul" will be a hit?" Li Ruotong asked with a frown.
Yue Guan nodded.
It’s not that he thought “Soul Soul” could be as big a hit as it was in his previous life. After all, it was a different world and a different time.
But as long as it is half as popular as in his previous life, Zhu Yilong will make a lot of money by buying the bottom.
The popularity of Danmei dramas in the past life actually started with "The Soul". "The Soul" was the first popular Danmei adaptation drama, and it directly promoted Zhu Yilong to the top. Since then, capital has begun to pay attention to the field of Danmei, and there has been a mess of various Danmei dramas.
In a sense, Xiao Yan's father learned from Zhu Yilong, and he did act in a Danmei drama like Zhu Yilong and became a top-notch TV series. Unfortunately, he did not learn Zhu Yilong's accumulated experience and low-key life. Lead your own fans.
Flow and flow are also different. After all, Zhu Yilong is also an academic who graduated from Beijing Film Academy. He has been filming movies for ten years. Although there has been no splash, the experience value has been accumulated. Because it is an accident that a web drama becomes popular. It is definitely a good thing if it becomes popular, but later on, people will continue to focus on making money with dramas and rarely act like monsters.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Yilong was not originally there for the traffic. There was no precedent for "The Soul" to be a popular adaptation of an American drama before. Who would have thought that "The Soul" could become such a hit after being so popular.
He was an unintentional one, but the stars who acted in danmei dramas after he became popular are deliberately selling themselves out. As a result, these stars who became famous by teaming up with same-sex couples dislike this image... which is a bit like that.
Closer to home, Yue Guan is optimistic that "The Soul" will be a hit. Although Li Ruotong and Mo Xiangwan disagree with this view, Mo Xiangwan is optimistic about Zhu Yilong, so she also supports Zhu Yilong in playing the role of Zhu Yunwen.
Li Ruotong searched Zhu Yilong's information and found that in terms of personal appearance, Zhu Yilong and Xu Feng are indeed the most suitable to play Zhu Yunwen. They don't need to put on too much makeup, and they have a full youthful feel.
It's impossible for her to use Xu Feng, so...
"Let's tentatively cast him first. The two male leads are both newcomers, so we have a headache when it comes to selling the drama." Li Ruotong shook his head.
Mo Xiangwan, Feng Li and Yue Guan were not too worried about this.
Li Ruotong knew nothing about his network.
She doesn't know how to take advantage of herself, and Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan won't be polite.
"Let's talk about the two heroines. Let's talk about Xiao Xianxian first. She is set to be a master thief with an eccentric personality, so we need to find a female star who can act cute without being pretentious."
Li Ruotong's interpretation of the script was praised by Feng Li: "Mr. Li is right. The role of Xiao Xianxian must find a female star who can be cute and cute, otherwise she will lose her charm."
"Teacher Feng, do you have a favorite candidate?" Li Ruotong asked.
This time Feng Li did not push the envelope, but directly said a name: "Zhang Ting, she can definitely act well. Unfortunately, she is busy doing micro-business now..."
In the previous world, the heroine of "Love Through Time" was Zhang Ting, and she acted very well, but that was in 2002.
"There is definitely no hope for Zhang Ting. Does Teacher Feng have any other favorite actresses?"
Feng Li recommended another person: "Lin Yichen."
Li Ruotong: "..." I can't afford to take my leave.
It's not that I can't afford it, it's more likely that I won't.
Even if they could be hired, the budget would be too much.
Li Ruotong no longer asked Feng Li's opinion, but Mo Xiangwan still relied on him.
"Xiang Wan, do you have anyone to recommend?"
Mo Xiangwan submitted another set of lists.
"There are actually not many female stars in the entertainment industry who can act cute and show off without causing drama. I picked them for a long time, and combined with their salary schedules, there were only a few suitable ones."
Li Ruotong looked at the names on the list:
Lin Xiang, Li Qian, Wang Ziwen, Zheng Shuang, Zhao Liying.
When he saw the first name, Li Ruotong became angry: "Xiang Wan, you have to make me mad, don't you?"
Mo Xiangwan spread his hands helplessly: "Lin Xiang's image is pure and lovely, which is indeed suitable for the role of Xiao Xianxian."
"From now on, in our company's dramas, you are not allowed to recommend the artists you have led." Li Ruotong said angrily.
Mo Xiangwan was fired this time because of Lin Xiang's fans.
From beginning to end, Lin Xiang did not show up.
Later, Mo Xiangwan asked Lin Xiang to do a small favor, but Lin Xiang didn't even reply to Mo Xiangwan's message and just pretended that he hadn't seen it.
Li Ruotong hated this kind of person extremely.
"Li Qian? Is she the one with the mole at the corner of her mouth? Have you played Xiao Niba and Song Yuzhi?" When Li Ruotong saw the name Li Qian, she looked familiar.
Mo Xiangwan nodded: "It's her."
"She is indeed quite suitable in terms of image and acting skills, but she seems to rarely be a heroine and is less famous."
Li Ruotong was a little hesitant, then saw Wang Ziwen's name: "Wang Ziwen is even less famous. The two male protagonists are already not famous. It is best for the heroine to be more famous."
As for the heroine, Li Ruotong is prepared to spend money.
After all, Yueguan's remuneration is equal to 0, which is converted into the investment share.
Zhu Yilong's salary is approximately 0 if rounded off.
Then there is no need to be so sparing as to the heroine.
"Zheng Shuang is fine. "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" has just been aired, and her image is suitable." Li Ruotong was a little moved.
Yue Guan interrupted Li Ruotong's heartbeat: "Don't mess with the little fairy."
"What's wrong?"
"I want to eat beef noodles."
Li Ruotong said he didn't understand Yueguan's story.
Yue Guan didn't mind, and just found a reason: "She's in trouble, it costs too much to hire her, and I guess she doesn't like the second female lead either."
Yes, Xiao Xianxian was changed to the second female lead.
The first female lead is naturally Zhu Di’s official wife Zhang Chuchu.
Although the two women have almost the same amount of roles.
Feng Li adapted the script based on two male protagonists and two female protagonists, but when it was released and aired, Zhu Di's name must be in front of Zhu Yunwen, and Zhang Chuchu's name must be in front of Xiao Xianxian.
Yue Guan's last reason convinced Li Ruotong. She looked at the last name: "Zhao Liying? I seem to have heard of this name, but I'm not familiar with it. Are you a new person?"
"She's not a newcomer, but she's really not popular. She's been playing bit parts and supporting roles." Mo Xiangwan obviously investigated the information in extremely detail.
Li Ruotong frowned: "We need a heroine who is somewhat famous."
Mo Xiangwan handed Li Ruotong a photo of Zhao Liying and explained why he recommended Zhao Liying: "In terms of personal appearance, she has a round face, and her natural advantage is to be cute and show off. Her acting skills are not very good but not bad either. "
Li Ruotong nodded after seeing the photo: "It does fit the script and character, but the reputation is too small."
Mo Xiangwan smiled slightly: "The reason why I recommend her is because she has just filmed a costume drama called "The Legend of Lu Zhen", which has been scheduled for Mango Channel."
When Yue Guan heard this, his eyes lit up.
"I have paid attention to this costume drama. To put it simply, it is a thunderous drama, tampering with history, and full of flaws, but I am optimistic that this drama will be popular." Mo Xiangwan showed his gold medal agent's vision: "Trust my judgment. Signing her at this time is very cost-effective.”
Li Ruotong hesitated.
Yue Guan no longer hesitated.
It was after Zhao Liying came to prominence in "Legend of Lu Zhen" that she cheated all the way and finally became a top star.
However, it was 2013 when "Legend of Lu Zhen" was released in the original time and space, so the world is ahead of schedule.
In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about.
Rather than buying one future top player at the bottom, it is better to buy two at the bottom.
