After the role of Huo Chengjun was confirmed to be given to Yui Aragaki, the only thing left that has not been completely decided is actually the heroine.
Liu Chang thought of what Yue Guan had just said to him, and said sorry to Zhao Liying in his heart, and then said: "Since Huo Chengjun gave it to Yui Aragaki, then Lord Xu Ping should give it to Lin Yuner, which can be regarded as responding to the call from above."
Liu Chang thought Yue Guan thought the same way, but Yue Guan's reaction was beyond his expectation.
"Since Huo Chengjun has been given to Yui Aragaki, the role of Xu Pingjun should be chosen among the female stars in the Central Plains."
After looking at Liu Chang who was puzzled, Yue Guan explained: "After all, our drama is mainly aimed at the audience in the Central Plains. Forget about the supporting actress, try to use a Central Plains female lead as much as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that the audiences in the Central Plains will have objections. .”
Yue Guan has not forgotten his fundamentals.
Most of the movies he shoots have the best response in the Central Plains. This is his basic base. He must first protect his basic base no matter what, and then think about developing things outside.
Liu Chang felt that Yue Guan's worries were unfounded: "I remember that Lin Yuner actually filmed a historical drama in the Central Plains. It seemed to be called "War God Zhao Zilong". The filming was terrible, but the results were actually very good."
Yue Guan: "...I did take it."
Reality is always more magical than fiction.
Writing this kind of plot in a novel would be considered poisonous and unreasonable.
But in reality, this operation is not only reasonable, but also profitable...
Of course, that was before.
After the appearance of Yue Guan, the quality of domestic dramas has also been greatly improved. Now it is difficult to make money by filming such magical dramas.
Therefore, Lin Yoona is also transforming and working hard to make some high-quality and high-reputation TV series.
Liu Chang said: "So there is no need for you to worry. Lin Yoona is very popular, and you are still the leading actor. If you two join forces, there is no way the show will be bad."
"There are still risks, but there is no need to take them. Giving Huo Chengjun to Yui Aragaki is enough to explain to the superiors and express our attitude. For the role of Xu Pingjun, I will follow my wishes and try to find it from female stars in the Central Plains. Director Liu , which one do you want to use more?"
"Zhao Liying." In front of Yue Guan, Liu Chang did not hide anything. Anyway, it was no secret that he and Zhao Liying had the best relationship here.
"I have worked with Li Ying twice before, and everything went smoothly. Li Ying is very dedicated and can endure hardships when filming. I am not familiar with other female stars. If you ask me to choose, I will definitely choose Li Ying."
Yue Guan nodded: "Apart from Zhao Liying?"
"Liu Shishi." Liu Chang still did not hesitate, and his words were very straightforward: "Although with you here, there is no need for a heroine to boost ratings, but it is better to find a popular heroine than to find an unpopular one. The protagonist is strong.”
Definitely.
Otherwise, Yue Guan would have brought in new actors in every drama.
All at cabbage prices.
Regarding the choice of heroine, Yue Guan actually respected Liu Chang's opinion.
He could have been anyone.
Since Liu Chang was more optimistic about these two people, Yue Guan thought about it and decided to give him this face: "Let's contact them all. Whoever puts forward fewer conditions and is more willing to cooperate will sign."
"Isn't our crew short of money? Yue Guan, if you have to choose between the two of them, I would still recommend Zhao Liying. Her popularity is no less than Liu Shishi's, and her acting skills are definitely better than Liu Shishi's." Liu Chang said.
Yue Guan smiled.
He didn't take acting skills into consideration.
He has "empathy" anyway.
Whether his acting skills are good or not, he has the final say.
Besides, she's just acting in a TV series, so Liu Shishi can still hold on, otherwise she wouldn't be famous.
"I'll let Sister Xiang Wan get in touch with them all. When filming this movie... there may be a lot of intimate scenes. We'll discuss it later depending on how much they ask for."
Love will not be the only point in this drama, but it will be the key point.
Therefore, the love story between Liu Bingji and Xu Pingjun will be full of color.
The relationship between husband and wife is deep, and naturally there are some things that they like to hear and see.
Mainly because the audience also loves to watch this kind of drama.
Therefore, although Yue Guan found that there were a lot of intimate scenes for the male and female protagonists in the script, he did not refuse. Anyway, there was no point of exposure. At most, it was just kissing, hugging and lifting up. It was no big deal.
Thinking of this, Yue Guan added: "If they insist on letting a stunt double act in these scenes, they will defer it to the female star candidate below. Although I don't mind others using a stunt double to film the movie, but in order to provide the audience with a better movie-watching experience, I still hope that the heroine can use less substitutes, after all, as literary and artistic workers, we still need to have the awareness to dedicate ourselves to art."
Liu Chang: "..."
He confirmed that he understood what Yue Guan said.
After Yue Guan left, Liu Chang thought for a while and called Zhao Liying.
Although he felt that Yue Guan would not deliberately take advantage of others. After all, if Yue Guan really had an idea, there would be no need to go to such trouble, but he estimated that Yue Guan must still want to create more hype gimmicks for the sake of the ratings of the show.
Therefore, if you want to be this heroine, you have to try your best to match this gimmick.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.
Anyway, there are many female celebrities who are willing.
It's a buyer's market now, and Yue Guan is very calm.
Zhao Liying received a call from Liu Chang, and after hearing Liu Chang's words, she knew what was going on.
"Yue Guan is not interested in me. This move should be aimed at Liu Shishi or other female celebrities." Zhao Liying made her judgment immediately.
Liu Chang frowned: "Liying, do you want to give up?"
"No, I agree." Zhao Liying smiled: "If I have the opportunity to act opposite Yue Guan, it is a drama that will be a hit at first sight. It would be stupid not to agree."
If she was not allowed to use a body double when acting in an intimate scene with someone else, she would not consider it. The key person to act opposite her was Yue Guan.
Not sure who will take advantage of whom.
Yue Guan's appearance appeared in Zhao Liying's mind, and Zhao Liying felt that she was not at a loss.
Zhao Liying agreed readily.
And Liu Shishi... is a bit reserved.
After all, her character is there, and she rarely takes on large-scale scenes.
However, Liu Shishi’s quotation is relatively cheaper.
"Yue Guan, how to choose?"
In the end, it was up to Yue Guan to make the decision.
Yue Guan did not hesitate: "Let's just take Zhao Liying. Our film is not short of money. In fact, I didn't choose Zhao Liying because of her willingness to agree. The main reason is that I appreciate her acting skills more."
Liu Chang said seriously: "I understand."
He really understands.
Yue Guan was very pleased that Liu Chang could understand him.
There are still people in this world who understand him.
However, Liu Shishi's quotation was indeed very favorable, and Yue Guan felt that it was a pity to give up.
So I went directly to Mo Xiangwan.
"Sister Xiang Wan, has the script for the third season of "The Gatekeepers of the World" been written?"
"The second season hasn't been filmed yet. The third season must not have been written. What's wrong?" Mo Xiangwan looked at Yue Guan strangely.
Yue Guandao: "Make the heroine of the third season a blind girl."
Mo Xiangwan: "???"
"Let Liu Shishi play the role and give full play to her strengths. I believe she will be able to play the blind girl very well."
Mo Xiangwan: "...You black people are getting better and better now."
Yue Guan: "Actually, it was a book friend who reminded me that it would be a pity not to play a blind girl for a female star with a blind eye."
