Satisfied that the director's salary was not too high, he was more interested in the cast and budget of "The Gatekeepers of the World."
"Mr. Yue..."
Yue Guan interrupted the satisfied words: "Director Man, you can just call me Yue Guan, and the same goes for Tangtang, just call her by her name. You are the director on the crew, and it is appropriate to call the actors by their names. We will get there If there is anything bad about the performance, you can point it out directly."
Hearing Yue Guan say this, Satisfied felt even more comfortable.
No wonder directors are willing to cooperate with Yue Guan.
He also likes it when you give money generously and still carry it clearly.
Of course, he's not stupid either.
Yue Guan gave him face. If he took this scene seriously and publicly shamed Yue Guan in front of the crew, then there would be no need for him to mess around.
It’s not that there are such idiots in the entertainment industry, but they are usually tricked to death in the early stages.
Satisfaction will definitely not do such stupid things.
He just nodded: "Then my name is Yue Guan, Yue Guan, in which direction are we going to shoot the movie "The Gatekeepers of the World"? What standards should we shoot according to?"
Satisfied, he got to the point.
Yue Guan was even more satisfied.
If Yue Guan approached Chen Kaige, Chen Kaige probably wouldn't ask, and would most likely still shoot according to his standards.
Then "The Gatekeepers of the World" is dead.
Yue Guandao: "Director Man can regard "The Gatekeepers of the World" as a high-end version of "Soul Ferry". The plot is the most important, and the actors' acting skills must be passable and the audience must not be disappointed."
"Don't we require actors to meet the standards of a drama?"
"No, our selection of actors for this drama is more based on popularity and celebrity status, rather than acting skills. The purpose of this drama is not to introduce any acting school, but to let the audience see a wonderful story."
"I see."
Satisfied and relieved.
In fact, his record as an actor is not particularly good.
If he were to be an actor, he would really not have the confidence to be satisfied.
The acting skills of the actors in "Soul Ferry", which made him famous, were not particularly good, and even the starring performance was a bit eye-catching.
But "Soul Ferry" is also popular.
Audiences have an innate tolerance for niche themes, and they are even more tolerant for crews who are short of money at the first sight.
But in the final analysis, it is because the audience's requirements for acting skills are not particularly high. What they watch more is the story, and it would be better if there are special effects.
Especially in TV dramas, the role of actors' acting skills has been infinitely reduced.
From this perspective, it is actually an inevitable trend that some old drama stars with strong acting skills are replaced by the new generation of popular stars.
Satsfactory thought about the rumors about Yue Guan in the industry, and he specifically asked Zhang Li for advice before coming, so he said decisively: "Yue Guan, you can work more on the selection of actors. Your face must be better than I’m older and there are many actors I can’t invite, but you definitely can.”
"This should be the director's job." Yue Guan said hesitantly.
Of course, this is an act.
Just satisfied with the appeal in the industry, even if "Soul Ferry" is added, Tang Yan can't be invited, let alone other people.
If you want to give "The Gatekeepers of the World" a peak of popularity, you really have to take action personally.
Satisfaction also knew this, so he waved his hand: "That's it, don't be polite to me. You wrote the main plot of the script, and you must know who is more suitable to play it than I do. I only have one request, the more popular the actor is The better. I used to drive tractors, now I want to drive a sports car."
As a director, who wouldn’t want to personally coach big-name actors
Satisfaction has never experienced this before.
But now, he felt like there was hope.
There is indeed hope.
"Director Man, Tangtang plays the heroine of "The Gatekeeper of the World"."
She looked at Tang Yan with satisfaction and surprise.
He thought that Tang Yan came with Yue Guan today.
She is actually the heroine.
"The male lead is Yue Guan, and the female lead is Tang Yan." His body trembled with satisfaction: "The last TV series you two collaborated on was "Chuang Ming"."
As for the popularity of "Chuang Ming", only "In the Name of the People" can compare with it in the past few years.
"Game of Thrones" makes more money, but because it is broadcast on a paid channel, its influence is not as great as "Chuang Ming".
When I thought about the power of the combination of Yue Guan and Tang Yan with satisfaction, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself.
He feels that he is only one play away from reaching the top of his life.
Seeing the excited satisfaction, Yue Guan felt a little funny: "Director Man, calm down. It's not just me and Tangtang. There are many gatekeeper organizations. Although the first season focused on Wu Qi, who I played, there are other gatekeepers. It also needs to be portrayed, and it will be more intense in the following seasons, so I will try to find some popular stars to play the other gatekeepers."
"What about?" He looked at Yue Guan with satisfaction and expectation.
Yue Guan did not let his expectations fall by the wayside: "Yang Mi will guest star in the first season as a descendant of Qingqiu, and will be one of the leading actors in the second season."
Satisfied, I quickly drank a cup of tea.
"Any more?"
"Liu Yifei will make a guest appearance as Nuwa's Descendants, but she will only appear once or twice in the first season, and may appear more in subsequent seasons as appropriate."
The main battlefield where Nuwa's descendants shine is during the Secret War of 1999, and Yue Guan will not declassify all the combat power before the release of "Secret War of 1999".
"In addition, Xu Zheng promised me to play a guest role. Originally he wanted to be a hypnotist, but I changed it for him. His role in the first season will not be much. I am wondering whether to make him a second season. One of the leading actors."
Xu Zheng agreed to guest star in "The Gatekeeper" for free, but he didn't say he would only guest star for one season.
Now that we are on the pirate ship, how can we get off so easily
Yue Guan was ready to squeeze all the value out of this bald man.
In the TV industry, Xu Zheng is also very capable, and the ratings of "Springs Are Beautiful" are actually very brilliant.
There are also dramas such as "The Married Man" and "Li Wei Becomes an Official". In fact, Xu Zheng's national popularity is really not low.
This bald man is able to reach his peak in middle age. In fact, it is not a sudden rise. It is a real accumulation of hard work.
Satisfied when he heard Yue Guan talk about Xu Zheng, he was completely excited.
Whether in terms of achievements as an actor or as a director, Xu Zheng crushed him.
Now let him be Xu Zheng's director...
The only feeling of satisfaction is: "Follow Yue Guan to become a real person."
"I have a hunch that the first season of "The Gatekeepers of the World" will be the pinnacle of my life." He said with satisfaction.
Yue Guan smiled: "Director Man, you are still young. Work harder and make the first season of "The Gatekeepers of the World" better. The second season will also be yours. When the time comes, Xu Zheng will be at your disposal."
With satisfied eyes, he suddenly thought of the scene where he had manipulated Xu Zheng, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
Magic City.
Xu Zheng sneezed inexplicably: "I always feel like someone is talking about me."
