The two talked and laughed, and they had already come to the office, Li Yi asked the secretary Zhang Baizhi to make tea, and he sat on the sofa with Xing Ye and continued to chat.

"Master Xing, it just so happens that you came over today, let's take a look at the script first, I have also listed the list of actors, you can go through it together. ”

After chatting a few more words, Li Yi shifted the topic to the main topic and handed over the script and list.

Xing Ye is quite concerned about the cooperation between the two, and the reason why he rushed over in such a hurry was not because he was not at ease with Li Yi, but because he wanted to push forward the progress quickly, so as soon as he heard this, he immediately came to his senses!

"Okay, I'll take a look. Xing Ye took the script and the list, and read the script while drinking the tea brought by Zhang Baizhi.

Originally, the movie "The King of Comedy" was a script he wrote in his early years, and he planned to direct and act by himself, but because of the constant drama appointments all year round, he put it away.

When I remembered it, I had already retired from film and turned into a behind-the-scenes director, and I never found an actor who met the standards in his heart.

In his heart, Bi Yi actually had a lot of high hopes for this movie, and when he wrote the script, he also used his early experience as a reference model.

Therefore, it is not so much that he is looking for a leading actor, but rather that he is looking for a successor, an actor who can be highly recognized and favored by him!

Originally, after looking for many years, he still found nothing, he had lost hope, and even gradually forgot about it, thinking that it would become an eternal regret in his heart, until ...... Under Uncle Da's recommendation, I watched Li Yi's "Journey to the West"!

He was pleasantly surprised to find that this treasure-like actor was not the successor he was looking for!

Although he knows that Li Yi's acting career is very wide and he has the courage to challenge himself, and he will not be limited to one style, it is still his best choice!

Even, he also admires Li Yi's directing talent very much, so he not only hopes that Li Yi can play the leading role, but also serve as a director with him and shoot this long-awaited "King of Comedy" together!

Since he wants to cooperate with Li Yi, he will naturally show sincerity, so whether it is for the script or the actors, Li Yi has even more rights than him, and even he handed over the script to Li Yi, so that he can rewrite it at will.

Even if Li Yi completely overturns and rewrites and completely becomes his own work, Xing Ye will not say anything, because he hopes that he can communicate with Li Yi more than shoot his previous works.

The script of "The King of Comedy" was written by him repeatedly more than ten years ago, and he is naturally familiar with it, and now when he sees the new script rewritten by Li Yi, he can naturally see how much difference it is from the original by scanning it casually.

So after watching it for a while, Xing Ye was pleasantly surprised to find that the story framework he originally set, even the background of the times, and the character settings have not changed, Li Yi has only deleted and modified some details, as well as enriched the content.

The story is still the same story, but it is more exciting and moving than the one he originally wrote!

"Good, good!" Xing Ye read the script in one go, and then said three good words in a row, smiling, obviously extremely satisfied with the script rewritten by Li Yi!

Not only because the story rewritten by Li Yi is good enough, but also because of this cooperation between the two parties, he gave Li Yi enough trust, and Li Yi also gave him enough respect!

For Li Yi, he is really getting more and more satisfied and liking it now!

"Master Xing, if you think there are any deficiencies in the script that need to be revised, you can put it forward, and we will discuss it together. Li Yi said.

"It's all good, I don't need to change it at all, and to be honest, although I believed in your abilities from the beginning, it was definitely better than I expected!" Xing Ye said with a smile.

After praising Li Yi a few more words, Xing Ye looked at the list of actors.

The actor is naturally Li Yi, and Uncle Da, who has worked with him for many years, and some actors he has excavated, play important supporting roles, which are all candidates he has set early on.

And the other main supporting roles, including the heroine, are all decided by Li Yi.

At first, Xing Ye would think that Li Yi chose Zhang Min as the heroine.

Obviously, Zhang Min is not his ideal heroine, and he feels that her appearance and temperament do not match the role setting.

It's just that at first, he thought that Li Yi would make a lot of changes to the script and characters, and he believed that Li Yixuan and Zhang Min must have their own reasons, so he didn't express his opinion.

Xing Ye, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help frowning tightly, and said worriedly that if the heroine hadn't been selected yet, I'm afraid it would take a lot of time, and the long-awaited cooperation would have to be postponed for a long time.

You must know that the movie Mermaid that Xing Ye just finished filming, in order to select a suitable heroine, it took a lot of time to get an audition of 120,000 people.

This time with Li Yi, he attaches much more importance to it than the mermaid.

Is it possible to have another audition? I'm afraid that it hasn't been a year and a half, and the star master who can't be sure of it is worried is thinking about it.

Li Yi naturally knew what Xing Ye was worried about, in fact, during this time, he was also anxious about this matter, whether it was a female artist under his company or a female star actress in the circle, he had screened it several times in his heart, and he couldn't find a suitable candidate at all.

At this moment, Zhang Baizhi came in to refill the tea for them, Li Yi just looked up and looked at her twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up, pointing at his own Zhang Baizhi, and smiled at Xing Ye: "Xing Ye, what do you think of her?"

"What?"

Xing Ye and that Zhang Baizhi were both stunned when they heard the words, and they glanced at each other, both of them were puzzled.

Zhang Baizhi just came in, he didn't know what they were talking about before, he didn't know what Li Yimeng meant by this, but Xing Ye didn't react to what he meant, just raised his head and glanced at the secretary, and said casually: "Not bad, it's beautiful." ”

Although I didn't know what the two were talking about, but when I heard Xing Ye praising himself, Zhang Baizhi's little face couldn't help but turn red, said thank you, and bent down to pour tea into their teacups.

Li Yi touched his chin and stared at Zhang Baizhi constantly, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and the more he looked, the more he felt that she was the female number one she was looking for, whether it was her appearance or figure, especially the temperament on her body, which was especially in line with the setting of the heroine in the script!

In fact, this Zhang Baizhi was just recruited into the company not long ago, and today is also her first day of work.

Even before going to work today, this girl didn't know her job, but she was actually working as a secretary for Li Yi, so that after learning about her work arrangement, she was too excited when she saw Li Yi for the first time, and almost splashed him when she served Li Yi coffee.

Li Yi usually either films everywhere or stays at home, and rarely comes to the company.

In work and life, it is enough to have an assistant and Cheng Yajie to take care of him, so before that, his secretary in the company has always been Xia Yaoting's part-time job, nothing more than to help clean up the office, make tea and water, pass a word and so on.

The company is now completely on the right track, Li Yi feels that the division of duties in the company needs to be more formal, and by the way, it is also necessary to reduce the burden on Xia Yaoting, a hard-working little bee, so he asked Minister Lin to recruit a secretary for him.

Li Yi didn't care about this kind of trivial matter before, plus this secretary seemed to be his fan, and on the first day of work, he looked very restrained and shy in front of him, always lowering his head and not daring to look at him.

When the other party came in just now, he inadvertently glanced at it, and for the first time, he carefully saw the other party's appearance, and was immediately attracted by the unique temperament of this girl!

At this time, the secretary had already poured tea and was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Yi.

"Brother Yi, do you have any other orders?" The secretary asked in a low voice, his face was red, and he still didn't dare to look at Li Yi.

"The job wasn't for you, you were fired. Li Yi said. Yes?

Zhang Baizhi was taken aback when he heard this, and even Xing Ye looked at Li Yi with a look of surprise, I don't know why this happened, this girl didn't do anything wrong, why did she suddenly want to be expelled?

"Brother Yi...... Did I do something wrong to make you angry?" Seeing Li Yi's serious expression, Zhang Baizhi looked up at Li Yi and asked cautiously.

This is the first time she has looked directly into Li Yi's eyes, and Li Yi can clearly see the grievances and incomprehension, as well as a trace of unwilling stubbornness in her bright eyes that have been filled with tears.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong, I just think it's overkill for you to do this job, and I want to introduce you to a new job!" Li Yi hurriedly explained.

But when he said this, Zhang Baizhi and Xing Ye were even more confused.

"Master Xing, aren't we worried about the heroine of this play! You just said that she is very good, how about letting her be the female number one?" Li Yi looked at Xing Ye and smiled at him.

Zhang Baizhi was completely stunned, if her thoughts could be concretized, she would be full of question marks now, because she could understand every word Li Yi said, but why couldn't she understand it when they were connected together!

Xing Ye reacted, it turned out that Li Yi came out of that sentence just now for no reason, this is what he meant, and he couldn't help frowning, but he felt that Li Yi was too child's play!

Any director who is responsible and has the pursuit of quality is very cautious in choosing the heroine for his new movie, not like some directors who are indiscriminate, who choose which actress is beautiful and meets their own appetite.

That's not choosing actors, it's just greedy for each other's bodies!

Although he thought so in his heart, he still subconsciously looked at Zhang Baizhi, and said in his mouth: "Xiaofan, don't make this kind of joke with me, we can't be directors...... Huh?"

Before, Xing Ye just glanced at each other casually, but he thought he was very beautiful, after all, the most important thing in the entertainment industry is handsome men and beautiful women, so Xing Ye didn't pay much attention to it.

But after carefully glancing at each other a few times at this moment, Xing Ye's eyes first became extraordinarily serious, then slightly surprised, and finally full of surprises!

There is indeed no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, and it is not difficult to find an actress who is more beautiful than the girl in front of you, you can find a lot, but her unique temperament is very rare!

And whether it is appearance or temperament, it is very in line with the setting of the heroine in the script, as if it was tailor-made!

"How old are you, where are you from, have you studied acting before, have you had any acting experience?" Xing Ye opened his mouth and asked a lot of questions, although the girl hadn't fully reacted to what was going on, she answered them one by one.

The other party has just turned 18 this year, and he is a Hong Kong Island native like Xing Ye, he has never studied acting, and his performance experience is limited to the evening party organized by the school......

When the girl answered all the questions asked by Xing Ye in one go, Li Yi immediately asked the last question: "By the way, what's your name?"

"Zhang Baizhi. The girl replied.

"Okay! From today on, you will be my company's signed artist, and you will also be the female number one in my new movie with Xingye!" As Li Yi spoke, he picked up the pen and wrote Zhang Baizhi's name on the list of actors, after the heroine column.

"Ahh......h This is also too ......" Zhang Baizhi only fully reacted to what Li Yi and Xing Ye were going to do at this moment, and couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Look at me! I'm so anxious that I haven't even asked you if you want to!" Li Yi patted his head and hurriedly asked the other party if he was willing.

Although this role is tantamount to pie in the sky for any actress in the circle, it is a great opportunity for them to scramble to grab it, but it is also necessary to investigate your wishes.

If Zhang Baizhi is unwilling, they naturally can't force it.

Xing Ye looked at Zhang Baizhi expectantly and anxiously, for fear that the other party would not agree, and if he wanted to find this suitable candidate at that time, he didn't know how long he would have to wait!

"I ...... It's not that I don't want to, I'm really happy to have this opportunity...... I used to dream just about it, and I dreamed of it with Brother Yi, no, it's with Brother Yi, you act in a movie, a romance movie, you are the male protagonist and I am the female protagonist and then we are sorry...... I mean......"

Zhang Baizhi's spirit was obviously too excited, so that he couldn't speak.

After a while, she finally made her words clear, it turned out that she was not unwilling, but because she had never studied acting, she was worried that she would not be able to act, and she had messed up such a good opportunity!

Hearing that Zhang Baizhi was just worried about this, Li Yi and Xing Ye couldn't help but glance at each other.

Zhang Baizhi didn't understand what the two of them were laughing at, just watched blankly.

After laughing for a while, Li Yi and the others stopped, and Xing Ye took the lead in speaking: "Zhang Baizhi, what do you think of Xiaoyi and I as directors, how do you think the level?"

"Of course it's very good! My favorite movies are made by you, and in my heart you are the best director!" Zhang Baizhi said without hesitation.

"In this case, with such two directors guiding you together, are you still afraid that you will not be able to act well? I believe in my own vision, and I believe in Xiaoyi's vision, we can all see that you will be a good seedling, and you should also have confidence in yourself!" Xing Ye smiled and cheered her up, and he had considerable confidence in his and Li Yi's directing ability.

After all, whether it is Li Yi or him, they have become popular with many actors, and most of those actors were unknown before they handled them, and many of them also had no acting experience, didn't they also perform well under their arrangement and training, and became famous!

"But ......" Zhang Baizhi is still a little worried, she knows that for this movie, both Li Yi and Xing Ye attach great importance to it, and countless fans are looking forward to it for a long time

For those actresses, it is tantamount to a pie in the sky, but for her, it is like the Marble Mountains pressing on her body, and the pressure is simply not too great!

"Here, make a grimace and show me. Li Yi said suddenly.

Zhang Baizhi didn't know why, but she obediently did it, and then Li Yi asked her to laugh again, and she laughed too.

"It's not enough for facial paralysis, you have to believe in yourself, but also in me and Xingye. Also, you look good when you smile!" Li Yi quipped.

Hearing Li Yi praise himself, Zhang Baizhi's face suddenly turned red, and at the same time, he was amused by Li Yi's relaxed words, and he bit his lip and nodded, saying that he would work hard and definitely not disappoint Li Yi and Xing Ye's expectations.

After chatting a few more words, Li Yi handed her the script and asked her to go to Sister Yu to talk about it.

The rest of the things, Sister Yu knows how to arrange.

Zhang Baizhi went out after answering, but quickly turned back, held the script, looked at Li Yi and Xing Ye, and said with some embarrassment: "That...... Mr. Li, Master Xing, can you please sign for me?"

Xing Ye nodded, and Li Yi smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem." In the future, just call me Brother Yi, Mr. Li's title sounds awkward. ”

Then, Li Yi took out his mobile phone and got up and motioned for everyone to take a group photo together.

Li Yi stood on the left, Zhang Baizhi stood in the middle, Xing Ye stood on the right, the three of them were next to each other, looking at the camera and smiling, and a group photo was quickly taken.

Subsequently, Li Yi printed out a photo through the printer, signed his name on the photo with Xing Ye, and handed it to Zhang Baizhi.

Whether it is Zhang Baizhi in the photo or Zhang Baizhi holding the photo, the smile on his face is extraordinarily happy and bright!

"Thank you, Brother Yi!

Then he stuck out his tongue a little embarrassed, bowed to Li Yi and Xing Ye, and walked out like a child, full of joy.

Zhang Baizhi subconsciously kissed the photo, and the candidate for the heroine was also finalized, and now everything is ready, only Dongfeng and Li Yihe are owed

Xing Ye's mood couldn't help but relax, and he sat back on the sofa and continued to chat.

"Xiaoyi, it's really worthy of you, you recruited a Zhang Baizhi casually, and you recruited such a good seedling, which solved our urgent need. In the future, you should really recruit a few more Zhang Baizhi to prepare, and it can come in handy at a critical moment!" After Xing Ye knew that Zhang Baizhi was only his first day of work today, he couldn't help but joke.

When the two were talking happily and laughing happily, they didn't know that at this moment, the news that Xing Ye came to Li Yi's company had been spread all over the Internet through the group photos posted by the company's employees.

For a while, the fans, who were already highly concerned about the movements of the two, were even more excited!

"Wow! As soon as it was finished, I rushed over immediately! Xing Ye seemed to be really interested in this cooperation with Brother Yi! Last time, someone said that Xing Ye heard that Brother Yi finished filming A Chinese Ghost Story, and he was in a hurry and almost put down the mermaid who had already filmed more than half of it, and rushed over, I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems to be true!"

"I heard that Xing Ye couldn't even take care of the finale banquet of his own movie, so he ran to find Brother Yi in a hurry, and even stayed up late last night to shoot and didn't care about resting. Although I feel that Xing Ye is very cute like this, I still hope that he can pay more attention to his body. ”

"Xing Ye is too difficult, I strongly ask Brother Yi to add a few more big chicken legs to Xing Ye at noon!"

"There was news before, saying that Brother Yi had almost done all the preparations, so he was waiting for Master Xing. Now that the two bigwigs are finally together, I believe that the news of the start-up will come out soon, and after looking forward to it so much, there is finally hope!"

"I envy those who work in Brother Yi's company, it's really close to the water, and I can not only get in touch with many celebrities, but also get close to Brother Yi from time to time!

"I want to know if there is a shortage of people in Brother Yi's company, let me do anything, I can clean the toilet. ”

I also want Brother Fu Yi's company to clean the toilet, if I can clean the office for him, it would be better!"

“......“

The news of Li Yi and Xing Ye's meeting undoubtedly made fans and fans who were already looking forward to this movie even more eagerly awaited, and they couldn't wait for them to start now, finish it tomorrow, and release it the day after tomorrow!

But this jubilant and elated atmosphere did not last long, because a Weibo posted by Li Yi the next day made everyone's hearts a little more ambitious and uneasy!

The content of Li Yixin's Weibo is very simple, just popped out a photo with Zhang Baizhi and Xing Ye yesterday, and introduced it to everyone, saying that the one in the middle is the heroine he and Xing Ye selected for the new movie.

Although Li Yi only briefly introduced Zhang Baizhi's name and told everyone that now all the preparations are ready, and they only need to give Zhang Baizhi a period of time to study the script and prepare, and the film can be started immediately, without mentioning anything else.

But Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the vast number of supernatural powers and netizens soon checked Zhang Baizhi's origin and experience within less than half an hour of posting this Weibo.

immediately found out that this heroine, who had never heard of anyone's name, had no acting experience, had not even learned acting, and had no qualifications to be an actor at all.

Not long ago, I just graduated from high school, and my first job was to be Li Yi's secretary by mistake, and after only half a month, I was photographed by Li Yi and Xing Ye, and became the heroine of "The King of Comedy", and the experience is magical!

In addition to being very good-looking, this girl named Zhang Baizhi is just an ordinary person who is randomly favored by the god of luck!

Suddenly, fans and fans who had great expectations for this movie were surprised and quarreled!!
