News that Yue Guan was going to make a new drama soon spread.
And then another piece of news spread:
This is a modern version of Game of Thrones!
The scale is huge.
The big guys involved are of a very high level.
Endorsed above.
Although the crew has not yet been formed, CCTV has already expressed its intention to purchase the film early, and the problem of selling the film has been solved in advance.
This time, Yue Guan also intends to imitate "Game of Thrones" and form a top lineup in the TV industry.
When the news came out, the industry was shocked:
"Although I am not optimistic that the main theme TV series will be a big hit, the main theme TV series produced by Yue Guan is definitely an exception."
"Yue Guan's Weibo posted a message to the outside world, confirming the message, and publicly stated that he would audition for the role. He also responded to netizens' posts, saying that the scale would definitely not disappoint."
"This is probably another phenomenon-level TV series."
"Game of Thrones has made so many people famous. Hu Ge has become famous, Wang Ou, Wang Kai, Qin Lan, Liu Yijun, Liu Tao... Looking at the trend of "In the Name of the People", it will definitely make many stars famous again."
"Sister, go and find out what day the crew will hold auditions."
"Sister, can you help me make an appointment with Yue Guan? As long as Yue Guan has an idea, I can cooperate with anything."
…
Miracle Company.
Yue Guan's phone number was ringing again.
Many people came to inquire about the situation.
There are many acquaintances among them.
After hanging up the phone, Yue Guan said helplessly to Mo Xiangwan: "Sister Xiangwan, should I turn off my phone?"
"Don't, otherwise my phone will be blasted." Mo Xiangwan said: "The number of people who come to me is no less than the ones who come to you directly, or even more. Every time it's time to choose actors, I realize that There are so many stars in the entertainment industry, there are so many of them."
"There will be more in the future. Who makes celebrities make more money now?" Yue Guan said with emotion: "When we were young, when we wrote essays, our ideal was to be a scientist pilot. Now the children's ideal has become to be a star."
"You are a star yourself." Mo Xiangwan complained.
Yue Guan spread his hands: "As a celebrity, I don't make much money."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Mo Xiangwan's assistant opened the door and came in to report: "Mr. Mo, Brother Guan, and Director Li Lu are here."
"Please come here."
Li Lu, the original director of "In the Name of the People".
Although Yue Guan now has good friendships with many top directors, since the original "In the Name of the People" was filmed well, Yue Guan asked someone to contact Li Lu.
After all, Li Lu is not very famous now.
So easy to talk to.
In fact, even after filming "In the Name of the People", Li Lu did not ascend to the altar like Zhang Li and Kong Shu.
Except for "In the Name of the People", Li Lu has no other particularly outstanding works, the kind that make people know it is a masterpiece as soon as they hear the name.
Directors at the level of Zhang Li and Kong Shu have proven themselves many times.
And Li Lu only proved herself once in "In the Name of the People".
In this world, it has never been confirmed even once.
So after receiving the invitation from Miracle Company, Li Lu was completely confused.
But after he came to his senses, of course he agreed immediately.
This pie-in-the-sky opportunity fell on his head. If he didn't seize it, he would kill himself.
His director contract had actually been signed before, and Yue Guan gave him preparation time in advance to prepare his own director team.
Miracle Company does not have a contracted director, and generally prefers to let directors use whomever they feel comfortable with.
Although it costs a little more, the director I work with will like this method very much, and it is faster to shoot.
Li Lu came to Miracle Company today to discuss casting matters with Yue Guan.
In the play "In the Name of the People", Yue Guan has already decided on some roles, but the roles that become available will have to be auditioned externally.
Of course he wanted to talk more with Yue Guan.
After Li Lu sat down, she immediately asked Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, when will we hold auditions?"
"The news has been sent out. Starting tomorrow, Director Li, please work harder tomorrow and we will meet together."
"It's not hard work. Being able to direct such a big drama makes me full of energy now."
Li Lu told the truth.
Yue Guan had previously decided on several roles without his consent.
He was not dissatisfied at all.
Some are just surprises.
Because for those roles that Yue Guan had decided to hire, he might not be able to hire them if he had money, not to mention he didn't have any money.
"Yue Guan, how many roles have you booked now?"
Li Lu actually hopes that the more the better.
Because all the people Yue Guan has chosen are big names, they don’t have to audition, so they are stable and don’t have to worry.
But Yue Guan's appetite is not that big.
"I will play Qi Tongwei, Li Dakang and Wu Gang will play the role, and Gao Yuliang's words..."
Speaking of this, Yue Guan actually hesitated.
Li Lu's eyes lit up: "What's wrong with Gao Yuliang?"
"Gao Yuliang, my original choice was teacher Zhang Zhijian, who was Xiaoge Lao in "The Ming Dynasty 1566"."
"I know. I've seen it. Zhang Zhijian's drama is particularly good."
An old actor like Zhang Zhijian may not be well-known in the ears of the audience, but his name is still very famous in the minds of directors like Li Lu.
"Can Zhang Zhijian not be able to act?"
"It's not that he can't act. Chen Daoming called me just now and asked me if there is a suitable role for him in this drama."
Li Lu: "..."
The calves are a bit soft.
At Yue Guan's level of communication, he is easily a national first-class actor.
He has never fought such a battle of wealth.
"Teacher Chen Daoming can definitely do it." Li Lu said excitedly.
Yue Guan shrugged.
This is nonsense.
It's strange that Chen Daoming can't play the role of Gao Yuliang.
However, Gao Yuliang, the elder of Xiao Ge, had the first impression and his performance was really good. If he had been replaced by Chen Daoming, he might not have been able to perform even more brilliantly.
Therefore, Yue Guan has no intention of replacing Mr. Xiao Ge.
Even if I have to change, I have to change to a role that I can obviously play better.
"Gao Yuliang should be given to Teacher Zhang Zhijian." Yue Guan finally decided not to replace Mr. Xiaoge.
Li Lu expressed her discomfort: "Yue Guan, I also admire Teacher Zhang Zhijian's acting skills, but if I compare him with Chen Daoming... I still choose Chen Daoming."
reality.
Yue Guan comforted him: "Don't worry, Director Li. I didn't say I wouldn't let Chen Daoming star in our play."
Li Lu's eyes lit up: "Do you want Chen Daoming to play Sha Ruijin?"
"That's not true. Sha Ruijin, I asked Teacher Chen Baoguo, and he has already agreed."
Zhang Fengyi's Sha Ruijin is just fine and doesn't hold back, but there aren't many surprises.
It happened that when "The Peak of the Tang Dynasty" was being filmed, Yue Guan and Chen Baoguo got along well, so they were easily invited.
Zhang Fengyi is a veteran actor with a very high level, but compared with Chen Baoguo, he is definitely a notch behind.
This is not a multiple choice question.
Li Lu looked at Yue Guan as if he were looking at a god.
"Sha Ruijin was given to Chen Baoguo, who else could Chen Daoming play?"
"Zheng Xipo."
Li Lu's voice rose an octave: "Who?"
"Zheng Xipo."
It's Huangmao's father.
Union president at Big Wind Factory.
Some people say that Huang Mao is involved in the plot of Dafeng Factory and it is difficult to delete it. In fact, Huang Mao has nothing to do with Dafeng Factory. The one who is related is Zheng Xipo.
To add some drama to Zheng Xipo, there is no need for Huang Mao to exist at all.
Li Lu's breathing was very rapid: "Let Chen Daoming play Zheng Xipo... is he overqualified and underqualified?"
"It's a little bit, but I believe Chen Daoming can play Zheng Xipo well."
Some people always say that Chen Daoming cannot play small characters.
Just in time for Chen Daoming to slap him in the face with practical actions.
This kind of old-school sour literati actually has no difficulty at all for Chen Daoming.
In this way, the cast of "In the Name of the People" is indeed a bit extravagant.
Li Lu held Yue Guan's hand and said seriously: "Yue Guan, I'll leave all the actors' matters to you. I have absolute trust in you."
He felt that his status was too low.
I really am not qualified to participate in this kind of casting selection.
He couldn't even think of letting Chen Daoming play Zheng Xipo.
