Shen Teng still didn't say anything.
no way.
Don't dare.
Although the guilt is severe, it is better than being replaced.
At least he still has a chance to try now.
"Brother Teng, don't worry. Zhao Kuo is a top student after all. You definitely have no hope in this life. Figure out the role of Wang Duoyu well and stand out from this group of veteran comedians, and you will become famous in one fell swoop. ”
"It's easy for you to say." Shen Teng was speechless.
Yue Guan smiled: "I can stand and talk without back pain, of course it's easy. If Brother Teng you think you can't act, I'll go find Bao Qiang."
"No, I can act, I will definitely act." Shen Teng was really afraid that Yue Guan would replace him.
With Baoqiang's current status and popularity in the film industry, it is indeed more suitable for the cast of this drama than him.
Maybe the image is a little bit worse, but the acting skills can make up for it.
Bao Qiang can't only play Sha Gen. In terms of acting skills alone, he is better than Shen Teng.
But of course Yue Guan was just joking.
When he makes a movie, what he values most is the compatibility with the characters.
From this aspect, Shen Teng is still more suitable than Baoqiang, not to mention that Shen Teng is cheaper.
After ending the call with Shen Teng, Mo Xiangwan looked at Xiao Yang opposite.
This is also an actor with quite a story.
Xiao Yang studied directing, and after graduation, he started working as an advertising director.
Then I met Wang Taili, and the two formed a group called "Chopstick Brothers" and went singing.
"Oldboy", "Little Apple"...not to mention, they are all quite popular.
Then, Xiao Yang became an actor again.
"The Lover", "Detective Chinatown", "Manslaughter"... you name it, he is really good as an actor.
There are only a handful of people in the entertainment industry who can cross over to Xiao Yang's level, and at least they have left masterpieces in every industry.
This is not something ordinary celebrities can do.
And Yue Guan found Xiao Yang, naturally looking for him to be an actor.
The best friend of the male protagonist Wang Duoyu, the "Wolong" in Wang Duoyu's mouth, is also the role that the sketch king wants for Xiao Shenyang. In theory, he is the second male lead.
But what about the actual effect... Again, all the scenes of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" are basically on the protagonist Wang Duoyu.
The other actors seemed to have performed well, but after "The Richest Man in Xihong City", except for Shen Teng, the other actors basically didn't even make a splash.
Many people praised them for their good acting... but they couldn't do it in other dramas. This actually explains some problems.
This is also the reason why Yue Guan was unwilling to make deep friends with the "Mao Liar" team.
Of little value.
Yue Guan himself made "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and did not want to deviate from the plot. The core of the protagonist will still be Wang Duoyu.
However, he tried his best to choose some actors with stronger comedy effects and greater reputations to support the thinness of the supporting roles. In the future, people will not say that "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was supported by Shen Teng alone. The director's Not much credit.
Shen Teng could brag about "The Richest Man in Xihong City" in his previous life, and it was basically the truth.
Of course Yue Guan doesn't want to be a foil in this life.
Therefore, it is necessary to train more talents.
Xiao Yang is obviously more artistic than the actor who originally played the second male lead, and Xiao Yang's acting skills are also better, and the comedy effect is not bad either.
It's an easy choice to make.
"Teacher Xiao, how are you thinking?" Yue Guan asked.
This is also an easy choice for Xiao Yang to make.
He signed the contract in two swipes.
Then he looked at Yue Guan curiously: "Mr. Yue, I'm very curious, why are you looking for me? My current fame and celebrity status don't seem to be suitable for such a big show, especially when there are so many teachers."
"Teacher Xiao, you are being humble. In terms of popularity alone, you are now higher than Shen Teng."
After all, the two songs "Old Boy" and "Little Apple" crushed it.
However, the group "Chopstick Brothers" is more popular now than Xiao Yang himself.
In terms of personal popularity, Xiao Yang and Shen Teng are evenly matched.
Seeing that Xiao Yang was still a little confused, Yue Guan explained: "When I choose actors, I usually give priority to character compatibility, followed by the actor's popularity. I believe in Teacher Xiao's comedy performance ability, and I have high requirements for Teacher Xiao. It’s also very high.”
"Say it." Xiao Yang said seriously.
If Yue Guan didn't ask for anything, he would feel something was wrong.
Now that he has strict requirements on himself, Xiao Yang feels normal.
Yue Guan didn't give in. "Teacher Xiao, I want to make this play into a movie, not a sketch."
Xiao Yang somewhat understood what Yue Guan meant: "Are you worried that those seniors will take the spotlight?"
"Yes, maybe it is unconscious, but they have acted in too many sketches, and their aura and habits have been formed. Therefore, the protagonist Shen Teng and your second male lead must have a good atmosphere. This drama must not be made into a large-scale Sketch.”
Xiao Yang understood: "I understand. Don't worry, Director Yue, I won't be led astray by those teachers' performances."
"That's not enough. If their performance goes astray, I need you and Shen Teng to help me bring them back." Yue Guan said.
Xiao Yang: "... This is a bit difficult."
"I have confidence in Teacher Xiao. In addition, during the filming of this film, Teacher Xiao will hold the position of assistant director."
Yue Guan's words made Xiao Yang raise his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.
Xiao Yang has a director's dream and has never given up on being a director.
But he has no real experience in big-budget movies yet.
Capital doesn't believe him.
If Yue Guan lets him be named assistant director, it will even improve him even more than choosing him as the second male lead.
Yue Guan smiled at Xiao Yang: "As I said before, Mr. Xiao can do more work if he is capable. I have confidence in you. I will give you the status of assistant director so that you can speak more conveniently on the set."
Xiao Yang was very excited: "Thank you, Director Yue, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"I believe Director Xiao."
They both laughed at the same time.
Xiao Yang's directing ability was not very strong even in his previous life.
But it's not too bad.
Very mediocre.
But for the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it is basically enough.
When Yue Guan filmed "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he didn't intend to show off his skills. He just filmed a purely funny story without any intention of adding any depth.
Therefore, a director who can film everything written in the script step by step can complete the task.
Xiao Yang has experience in shooting commercials and micro-movies before, which can really help.
Moreover, he doesn’t even want money…
After Xiao Yang left, Li Ruotong, who was watching the whole process, was shocked: "Is he working as a coolie for you for free?"
"Coolie? Sister Ruotong, if I say I'm recruiting an assistant director, a group of people are willing to give me money to join my crew, do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
"What if there is?"
"If you are such a fool, I will allow you to touch my head as you like from now on."
As soon as Li Ruotong finished speaking, Director Bi rushed in and held Yue Guan's hand.
"Yue Guan, are you looking for an assistant director? Hire me, hire me."
Before Yue Guan could say anything, Director Bi continued: "I know I have a bad reputation now, Yue Guan, I don't want money, I give money, I just want a chance."
Yue Guan did not reply to Director Bi, but waved to Li Ruotong.
"Lucky Cat, come here and let me pet the cat."
Li Ruotong: "..."
She wanted to die.
