Mountains and Rivers Pictures

Gao Xinjian slowly came out of the elevator and bumped into Cao Jie, the director of the brokerage department of Shanhe who was in a hurry.

As soon as she saw Gao Xinjian, Cao Jie's originally hurried footsteps immediately stopped, and a smile appeared on her cold face.

"Director Gao, good morning.

"Director Cao, good morning, why are you going? Lao Gao smiled and said hello to Cao Jie.

Cao Jie, as the head of the Shanhe brokerage department, the top boss of Shanhe artists, even if Gao Xinjian is a veteran of Shanhe, he doesn't dare to underestimate this woman.

"Miao Miao's activity in the magic capital has gone wrong, and I plan to go over and take a look. ”

Cao Jie's words are simple, but in fact, with her current level, she usually basically controls the overall situation, and rarely interferes in the activities of a single artist.

Gao Xinjian obviously understands this truth, he and Shui Miaomiao are quite familiar, and they only worked together in "Seven Swords 2" not long ago, and asked worriedly.

"Is the problem serious? do you need help, I still have some friends in the magic capital. ”

"No need. ”

Cao Jie shook her head and explained: "The chairman has already called, and the problem has basically been solved. ”

Gao Xinjian suddenly understood and nodded: "Okay, then you are busy first, you need me to help you call." ”

After saying that, he was about to flash people, but was silently blocked by Cao Jie: "Director Gao, Miao Miao is not in a hurry over there, I just have something to ask you, I heard that there are not many roles in our company artists in "Baolian Lantern"?"

Gao Xinjian smiled bitterly, sure enough, when he met Cao Jie just now, he knew that it was going to be bad, so he looked for a topic in advance, but he still didn't hide it.

.........

The project of "Baolian Lantern" has been decided since last year, and when Zuo Le filmed "Bright Sword", the script was roughly released.

Not long ago, the project was officially established, and the director chose Gao Xinjian, who had just finished "Seven Swords 2".

The reason is that Lao Gao has just filmed "Seven Swords 2", and he has a lot of experience in costume play and special effects, which is suitable for "Baolian Lantern".

In this regard, Kong Sheng and Xue Jun are weaker than him.

Therefore, Lao Gao has just finished "Seven Swords 2", so he has to spare some time and energy in the gap between the post-production of "Seven Swords 2" to prepare for the preliminary work of the crew of "Baolian Lantern".

Moreover, because Zuo Le is now busy with the movie "Wulin Gaiden" and marriage matters, most of the casting work of "Baolian Lantern" falls into the hands of Gao Xinjian.

As mentioned earlier, Zuo Le attaches great importance to the casting work of the crew.

In Shanhe, except for projects such as "Family with Children" and "Six Groups of Serious Cases", which have mature operation processes, the crew has greater autonomy.

The rest of the new original projects are all cast by Zuo Le himself, and the director only has the right to suggest and choose, and the decision is up to Zuo Le.

This time, "Baolian Lantern" rarely made an exception, because Zuo Le was too busy, Gao Xinjian got the right to decide the casting of "Baolian Lantern" for the first time, of course, Zuo Le still maintained the final review right.

However, as long as there are no major mistakes in Gao Xinjian's casting, Zuo Le will not easily save face with this general.

Gao Xinjian's godson Chu Yuan won the male protagonist Agarwood, which is the best proof.

............

Being able to be given a heavy responsibility by Zuo Le, Gao Xinjian is naturally very happy.

You must know that Kong Sheng and Xue Jun don't have this right, and he was the first to make an exception for Zuo Le, doesn't it mean that his boss Gauguin is trusted by the boss.

However, it didn't take long for Gao Xinjian to be happy, and trouble followed.

As a well-known myth in China, "Baolian Lantern" is less famous than "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Gods" and "The Legend of the White Lady", but it is also a first-class mythological IP.

With the production level of mountains and rivers, the worst estimate can also guarantee a [hot drama] level, if you are lucky, you have a great hope of becoming a [big hit drama] with a closing momentum of more than 2.

Resources of this level can be among the popular ranks in the circle, and the male and female protagonists or the outstanding male and female protagonists are difficult to guarantee that they will not be tempted even if they are first-line stars.

So soon, many "old friends" called Gao Xinjian's mobile phone, or directly or around the corner to ask about the role.

Lao Gao finally understood why Zuo Le held the casting right in his hands before, not only to ensure the quality of the actors, but also for the sake of the directors below.

Zuo Le has a high status, can withstand the pressure from all sides, and can not move in all directions in the face of various coercion and temptations from the outside world, and all kinds of internal rivalries within the mountains and rivers are not easy to stab in front of him.

Therefore, Zuo Le grabbed the casting right, offsetting a lot of trouble for the director and crew, and at the same time trying to maintain the objectivity and fairness of the casting.

Lao Gao really didn't pay attention to this before, but after knowing his personal experience, he understood Zuo Le's painstaking efforts.

Some power is really hard to hold.

In the past, an old friend Feixin asked that his son was just a junior in Beijing Film, so he asked him to raise his nephew......

All this, Gao Xinjian has been a little suspicious of his life when he has received phone calls and messages in the past few days, when did he know so many people.

This is still just a trouble from the outside world, and the mountains and rivers are also eyeing each other, Cao Jie in front of him stopped him, and the meaning of the words was very clear.

"Baolian Lantern" is a drama of mountains and rivers, and the characters must give priority to mountain and river artists, otherwise she, the director of the brokerage department, will be the first to "participate in him".

It's hard!

Lao Gao sighed in his heart, if he was a little complacent at the beginning, now he almost regarded this matter as a hot potato.

If Zuo Le really couldn't spare time, he would have returned to his original owner and would have been hiding quietly.

.........

Looking at Cao Jie, who was polite and did not give an inch under his feet, Gao Xinjian knew that he would not spit out some news, so he would not think about An Sheng for a while, looked left and right, and said.

"Chu Yuan - Agarwood, Wu Jing - Eighth Prince, Teacher Yan - Xiaotian Dog, Wan Qian - Chang'e, Lin Yongjian - Meishan Boss, Zhang Shui - Meishan Sixth.

There are six characters, as well as the male protagonist, which is not less, and there are few main characters in "Baolian Lantern" who meet the needs of our company's artists. ”

Cao Jie smiled coldly: "Director Gao, don't bluff me, it's not that I haven't seen the cast list of "Baolian Lantern", it's not that I, Cao Jie, speak ugly."

You don't play the company's drama for the company's artists, and you are really not afraid of the chairman getting angry when you take it outside to do favors. ”

"Director Cao, this can't be nonsense. ”

Lao Gao was really anxious, Cao Jie's words were almost like scolding him for eating inside and out.

Gao Xinjian felt that Zuo Le had always trusted him, and he would not be suspicious because of Cao Jie's words, but he was afraid that Cao Jie would use this as an excuse to provoke his relationship with mountain and river artists.

Cao Jie doesn't have a bad temper, and her reputation in other departments of Shanhe is also average, but she works seriously and fairly, and has a strict but extremely protective personality, which makes her very appealing in the hearts of Shanhe artists.

If she sits on Gao Xinxin's heart to outsiders and treats the company's own artists lightly, then Lao Gao's reputation will stink in the hearts of mountain and river artists.

At that time, most of the mountain and river artists will resist Gao Xinjian, even if it is Zuo Le, they must evaluate what it means to be "angry and difficult to offend".

Gao Xinjian didn't have much to do with Cao Jie before, but I only heard that this woman was amazing, and even the president Yan Kui gave her three points, and he didn't care much about it.

Lao Gao had no intention of having a bad relationship with the senior executive of the company who was in charge of the Shanhe brokerage department, so he explained after a deep sigh.

"Director Cao, in the drama "Baolian Lantern", there are indeed not many artists suitable for our company, not that the acting skills and character attributes, but that the coffee position is not suitable.

Like the Queen Mother, Yan Ni is very suitable, but can she take a fancy to this supporting role, as well as Liu Yanchang and Yu Entai, but how can I talk to him for such a few scenes?"

Lao Gao said sincerely, but Cao Jie didn't eat him at all: "Director Gao, let you say anything, no matter whether the role is successful or not, according to the rules, you have to ask our brokerage department."

Okay, even if you are afraid of offending people, everyone who thinks that the supporting role is not good, what about the protagonist, several starring actors in "Baolian Lantern", Agarwood is your godson, I won't mention it, except for the eighth prince who is Wu Jing of our company, who are you going to look for in Erlangshen, Xiaoyu, and Lilac?"

Cao Jie's words were directly pinched on the spot, and Lao Gao didn't speak, obviously selfish.

And on this side, Cao Jie saw Lao Gao's appearance, and he was not unforgiving, and his tone softened significantly.

"I understand that Gao Dao is also difficult to do, but it is all a company, you also think about the people below, it is obviously a company project, and the protagonists are all outsiders, what do you make everyone think, the work of our brokerage department is also difficult to do. ”

Gao Xinjian smiled bitterly: "Yes, Director Cao, I am at fault today, what do you say." ”

Cao Jie's eyes flashed with a smile: "I'm not ignorant, the two roles of Erlang God and Xiaoyu are given to the company, and I don't ask about the other roles, and the company's artists won't bother you."

In addition, don't you want Yan Ni to play the queen mother, I know that you have a good relationship with her, I'm embarrassed to open this mouth, I'll contact you, the favor is mine. ”

Gao Xinjian's eyes lit up, and he was a little tempted, but he still said: "Xiaoyu is fine, but Erlang God can't, this role has been set by the chairman." ”

"Who?"

Cao Jie's face tightened, she had already set her eyes on this role, and she was ready to give her ace Gu Xiaoge.

Only Gu Xiaoge has the weight to let her take the risk of offending Gao Xinjian, block the road and grab the corner, and even do not hesitate to take a favor from Yan Ni, but now there is a sudden change, Zuo Le is inserted horizontally, how can Cao Jie not be in a hurry.

Seeing Cao Jie's face change, Lao Gao hehe, he scared us just now, now it's your turn to be anxious.

However, Gao Xinjian didn't dare to tease Cao Jie more, after what happened just now, he was really a little scared of this woman.

"Jiao Jun, the chairman named him to play Erlang God. ”

"How could it be him?"

Cao Jie was a little confused, Jiao Jun she knew, and Gu Xiaoge were called the four beautiful men in ancient costumes, and they had cooperated with Zuo Le in "Magic Mobile" before, and they became a little popular.

This actor is also suitable to play Erlang God, but his own Gu Xiaoge is comparable in appearance, and his acting skills, fame, and popularity are better than Jiao Jun.

Lao Gao saw Cao Jie's doubts and took the initiative to say: "It is said that Mr. Yan helped to say the love, last time in "Magic Mobile", this Jiao Jun and the old man got along well.

This time filming "Baolian Lantern", Mr. Yan was the first to think of him playing Erlang God, and then he told the chairman.

You also know the relationship between the chairman and Mr. Yan, as soon as he spoke, the chairman saw that Jiao Jun was very compliant, and thought that Jiao Jun and Mr. Yan's "Magic Mobile" was very popular before, and this time "Baolian Lantern" also has a selling point to make a [Erlang God & Roaring Sky Dog] combination, so the matter is decided. ”

Gao Xinjian finished speaking, and Cao Jie's face was full of the word "dead heart".

In any company, there are a few people who can't be offended, and in Shanhe, there are two such people, the first is the boss lady Tian Yan, and the second is the second uncle Yan Changying.

Cao Jie, as a senior executive of the company, dared to contradict Zuo Le, the boss, but she did not dare to go against Tian Yan's second uncle.

Contradicting Zuo Le is for official business, as long as it conforms to the company's process, she is not afraid that Zuo Le will be angry.

But if you don't deal with Tian Yan and your second uncle, no matter what the reason, the nature will change.

For the sake of official business, Zuo Le can ignore her confrontation, but it does not mean that Zuo Le will tolerate her discord with her relatives.

It's okay if you take advantage of it, Zuo Le is not a person who wantonly favors relatives, but the second uncle recommends an actor, but she can't make any mistakes, if she makes a fuss about it, it will be a bit of a fuss.

Taking a breath, Cao Jie no longer mentioned Erlang God, but looked at Gao Xinjian: "That clove ......"

Lao Gao's face darkened: "Director Cao, be kind, I promised others this role." ”

"Okay. ”

Cao Jie saw that Lao Gao was about to turn his face, and he didn't force it: "Xiaoyu and the Third Holy Mother give it to me, Yan Ni, I'll help you say it." ”

Gao Xinjian nodded, and said: "You can give these two roles, but the actor must meet the conditions." ”

"That's fine. ”

Cao Jie already had a draft, and immediately replied: "Mao Tong is young and has a tender face, playing Xiaoyu, and playing with Chu Yuan is just right, Song Jia paints a more mature makeup, and can play the Three Holy Mother, anyway, she is a fairy, she is too old to play." ”

"Mao Tong, Song Jia. ”

Gao Xinjian muttered these two names in his heart and nodded, which was in line with the role.

Seeing that he agreed, Cao Jie went to the phone with Mao and Song on the spot to condemn the matter to death, and then said a few words to Lao Gao, and left the company for the magic capital.

Looking at Cao Jie's resolute back, Lao Gao shook his head, but he was thinking about the role of "Baolian Lantern" in his heart.

Agarwood, Xiaoyu, Lilac, and the Eighth Prince are decided, and the Roaring Sky Dog, Erlangshen and Meishan Brothers also have candidates, and the Bull Demon King, Zhu Bajie, and Sun Wukong still use the old lineup of "Magic Mobile".

The remaining roles that are still missing, there are only a few supporting roles such as Jade Emperor, Nezha, Fox Demon Grandma, Tai Bai Xing, etc., he already plans to play the Jade Emperor, and the other roles are also easy to handle, release the news, and everyone will be available in two or three days.

"Good ......"

Gao Xinjian reacted, and finally returned to the company, but he didn't even enter the door, but he set most of the starring roles in "Baolian Lantern".

It seems that I have to go back to the company often in the future, and the work efficiency is too high.
