Chapter 156: Strange Heroes and Plums

The bald brother is a very pursuing person.

At least that's what he thinks.

Although he wanted to change careers to become a producer, he didn't succeed, but in the field of agents, he felt that he was still very competent.

In ancient times, there were saints who ruled the world with their hands, and now there are bald heads and Zhou Jin.

Since Zhou Jin can develop quite well on his own, why should he interfere.

So he rarely competes for resources within the sugar man, but today, he feels that he needs to fight.

In the sugar man conference room, the high-spirited Cai Yirong presided over the meeting.

Li Jianguo has a white beard and white hair, sitting under her, his status as a sugar man has always been relatively transcendent, and he can be called a pillar-like existence.

Because every drama he filmed brought a lot of money to Sugar Man, and the "Strange Man and Plum" he prepared this time has undoubtedly become a key project for Sugar Man.

Originally, it was planned that Liu Sisi would play the heroine Yan Sanniang, and the male protagonist would naturally be Hu Ge.

But Lao Hu has already expressed his attitude in private, and he is unwilling to take on costume dramas again, so the first actor will have to fight.

Self-established projects,You can't give the male protagonist to someone else, right?

Among the current artists of the sugar man, Hu Ge is personally led by Cai Yirong, Liu Sisi and Yuan Hong are in charge of the artist director Chu Aijun, and the rest of Zhou Jin and Sun Yizhou are led by the bald brother, the deputy director.

After Cai Yirong announced the plan, the bald brother immediately said: "As early as in the rain of swords, Zhou Jin played the killer Lei Bin, and he is still no problem with a prodigal son like Gexiao." ”

He had seen Zhou Jin's amazement in the rain of swords in Hengdian, and instinctively felt that Lige and Xiao were very suitable for Zhou Jin.

Cai Yirong said: "Zhou Jin's appearance is very good, and her acting skills are naturally speechless, but after all, she is not famous, what do you think?"

She turned her head to look at Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo sighed lightly, "Martial arts dramas like Strange Man Yizhimei, I'm afraid there won't be any more in the future." ”

The decline of martial arts is a clear thing, and for a long time, it is estimated that there will be no decent martial arts films in the Celestial Empire.

So whether to make a classic for future generations to remember, or to use the popularity of stars to make martial arts popular again.

The old guy didn't say it explicitly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Chu Aijun is also from Yuji, and Cai Yirong is like a sister, although she doesn't know what Li Jianguo is thinking, she can guess Cai Yirong's thoughts.

Sugar Man has always used costume idol dramas to praise newcomers, but "Strange Man Yizhimei" is already a bit biased towards the main drama, and it is difficult for newcomers to hold up.

So she observed her words and said: "Yuan Hong has been in the company for many years, and he has never played the male lead, his acting skills are already good, and now he is famous, why don't you let him try it?"

Cai Yirong pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "His contract with the company is about to expire, right?"

Chu Aijun said: "Yes, it's about to expire, and I'm planning to renew it with him." ”

"Did he take the initiative to talk to you about renewing his visa?"

"I didn't ...... Then I'll talk to him as soon as possible. ”

"It's time for you to talk to him," Cai Yirong glanced at her, a little dissatisfied.

said to Li Jianguo again: "I think Huo Jianhua is more suitable, as for Zhou Jin, his temperament is softer, do you want to play He Xiaomei?"

He Xiaomei is the second male lead, although she is not as good as Lige and laughs, but there is also room to play.

But the bald brother is a little dissatisfied, Zhou Jin is not unable to play the leading role, why are you still elbowing outward?

Chu Aijun is not very happy, Yuan Hong has not terminated the contract yet.

In the past, you didn't have to hold Hu Ge, but now that Hu Ge doesn't act, it's Yuan Hong's turn.

Li Jianguo's eyes swept over everyone, he was old and refined, and he knew everyone's thoughts very well.

Speaking of which, this is also the inevitable contradiction brought about by film and television companies and the development of artist brokerage business.

From the perspective of the production department, of course, the casting must choose those who can support the play, but in the eyes of the brokerage department, of course, their own drama must praise their own artists.

This contradiction is almost irreconcilable, not to mention that Cai Yirong has indeed done an unfair job in resource allocation.

However, he was a lot older, and he didn't bother to say anything, so he just nodded slightly and said, "Just do it." ”

After speaking, he got up and was about to leave the table, and suddenly said: "Actually, I think Zhou Jin is more suitable for Ying Wuqiu...... Forget it, you let him pick it himself. ”

Li Jianguo said halfway through, waved his hand and left.

"That's okay, Lao Wang," Cai Yirong called the bald brother and said, "You take a copy of the script to Zhou Jin, and let him give an answer as soon as possible." ”

"Mr. Cai, I understand. ”

Li Jianguo can also be regarded as giving Zhou Jin enough face, and he can choose between the two male supporting actors, according to the bald brother, of course, the one who chooses more dramas.

……

When he found Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin was in a gymnasium, playing table tennis with Hu Ge.

The two of them were brought in by Liu Sisi, but Liu Sisi didn't fight at all, so he stood aside and watched.

"I said, can you two play faster?" Liu Sisi complained: "Look at those people in national table tennis, how fast and how fast." ”

She also wants to practice her eyes.

At this time, it was Zhou Jin's turn to serve, he held a table tennis ball and played it on the table, and said, "I want to play fast, but my hand doesn't listen to me." ”

Lao Hu also said: "My hand is so good, but after I play fast, the racket can't touch the ball." ”

"Then let's take our time. ”

Zhou Jin threw the table tennis ball gently, waved the racket, and slowly sent a short ball.

The two of you went back and forth, and in Liu Sisi's contemptuous gaze, they played health table tennis.

Fortunately, the bald brother arrived in time and was relieved.

The four of them found a table and sat down, ordering a few more cold drinks.

"Director Li Jianguo asked you which role to choose?" the bald brother handed over the script, "Hurry up and decide, I'm waiting to take makeup photos over there." ”

Liu Sisi curiously leaned over to read the script, "I said there are you here, by the way, who will play the song?"

Hu Ge said: "It should be Uncle Hua." ”

"Uncle Hua, that's okay," Liu Sisi said that playing a couple with an uncle was barely acceptable.

said to Zhou Jin again: "The director is so good to you, he actually let you choose your own role, He Xiaomei, or should you ask for nothing?"

Zhou Jin is still reading the script, "He Xiaomei...... Wouldn't it be a bit of a mother?"

Liu Sisi said: "It's okay, people are white-faced scholars, you see that you are also very white now." ”

She hopes that Zhou Jin will play He Xiaomei, so that the two will have more rivalry.

Hu Ge said: "Actually, I think it is more challenging. ”

Zhou Jin smiled: "Ha, I think so too, this is what heroes see." ”

On the surface, He Xiaomei has a lot of scenes, but Ying Wuqiu is more impressive.

Because the role is complex.

Ying Wuqiu's real name is Bao Laiqiang, he is a country boy, because his beloved woman died, he turned black, and he was given a name by Yan Song.

But when it came to the finale, it was completely whitewashed, it turned out that he chose to blacken and confuse Yan Song in order to avenge his lover.

Such a role is played well, and it is not even worse than the protagonist.

"By the way, who will play this Jing Ruyi?" asked Zhou Jin.

For this play, he only has a vague memory, it seems that Jing Ruyi is very beautiful, and whoever plays it doesn't remember.

The bald brother thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be an actress from the imperial capital, what is it called...... Tong Liya?"8)
