Section 185: Monster Legion
"It's good, it's improved from last time, it's very pleasantly surprised,"
Shen Huan finally spoke after thinking about it, first praised Li Manshu, and then said: "There is a role in the drama I am about to shoot that I think is quite suitable for you, and there are a lot of scenes, she is a second woman, and I came to you this time for this matter." ”
After Shen Huan thought about it, he decided that it would be more suitable for Li Manshu's current identity to throw out Zuolan, the second female and third female in "Latent", anyway, in his opinion, the characters are relatively flat, and the acting requirements are not too much, with what Li Manshu showed, if you really want to act, you can do it.
As soon as she heard that it was the second female, Li Manshu herself was slightly stunned.
With the popularity of "Meteor Garden", the books thrown to her in the past six months are basically the first female one, and the invitation of the second female is still relatively rare.
However, she was only slightly stunned and then looked as usual, and did not show any dissatisfaction.
She is still very grateful to Shen Huan for giving her a chance to become popular, if Shen Huan really needs her, then there is no problem on her side, and even the salary is completely negotiable, but she finally remembered Xiang Ze's words and did not agree immediately.
Xiang Ze, who was sitting next to her, rolled his eyes.
He originally thought that Shen Huan was inviting Li Manshu to play the heroine this time, but he didn't expect that it was just a second girl.
In fact, the second female is not unacceptable.
Although Li Manshu is on the coffee position now, if there are also two invitations in front of him, one is the first female of the crew of "Love in Love" that Li Manshu is filming now, and the other is the second female of the crew of the famous director and strong lineup, then don't think about it, Xiang Ze is also biased towards the latter, which is more beneficial to Li Manshu's career development, but it is for the famous director and the strong lineup, not Shen Huan in front of him.
In Xiang Ze's view, Shen Huan is indeed the creator of the new drama king, and he can be said to have become famous in one fell swoop in the field of TV dramas, but he has too few works, only one work, or a work full of controversy in the circle, the uncertainty is too great, and no one can see what his next work will be like from "Meteor Garden".
Of course, if this is just the case, then Xiang Ze is still more inclined to accept this invitation, but several experienced old fritters in several circles have rejected Shen Huan, which adds another bargaining chip to the uncertainty of Shen Huan's new drama and becomes more uncertain, which makes Xiang Ze also sway.
If Shen Huan invites Li Manshu to play the role of the first female, in the current situation, Xiang Ze will have to think carefully and see clearly, let alone the second female.
"Can I ask Director Shen, who are the main creators that our crew has determined now?"
Xiang Ze spoke up instead of Li Manshu, and when he asked, he also tried again to see if the news he heard was true.
Shen Huan said: "The director is still me, I found an executive producer who is also an old friend that Manshu is familiar with, Qin Muyang, the executive producer of the last play, and Chen Jiang, the assistant director, this is a basic set of teams, and other specific teams are still being formed, in terms of actors, if there is no accident, the male one or I will come, and the other actors have not yet been decided." ”
There is really nothing wrong with the rumors in the circle, this singer and director is indeed quite narcissistic, and the leading actor is himself, Xiang Ze thought so.
Although Li Manshu mentioned how good Shen Huan's acting skills were in front of Xiang Ze several times, Xiang Ze, who had never been in contact with Shen Huan in reality before, didn't believe it, and Shen Huan in his eyes was a LO actor who could only blow his beard and stare on the TV screen.
Li Manshu and Shen Huan faced each other in a scene just now, but in this scene, Shen Huan mainly observed Li Manshu's acting skills, and he didn't exert his strength, basically he was a wooden stake, which also made Xiang Ze more agreeable with his judgment.
Such an actor to play the leading role, the lineup is basically undecided, the assistant director is a little-known Chen Jiang, and the executive producer is also Qin Muyang, who can only get one "Meteor Garden", which makes Xiang Ze's score for Shen Huan's drama go to the next level.
"And what kind of story is this?"
Although Xiang Ze's score in his heart has dropped all the way, he still has no refusal.
It is too reckless to reject it directly, even if you are not optimistic, you still have to make a decision after a comprehensive understanding, which is a mature business attitude.
Shen Huan then described the project to them: "This is a story set in the Republic of China period......
……
Following
In a simplely furnished room, there is a table, Shen Huan is sitting behind the table, next to him is Chen Jiang, the assistant director he found for this "Latent", and an old acquaintance of his, Bu Ting of the Actors' Union, and the three of them are preparing for today's interview.
Shen Huan casually flipped through the information in front of him, and yesterday's events flashed in his mind.
Li Manshu's agent said that he would consider it, and he didn't give him an answer for the time being, but he didn't wait, and the interview work has already begun - he came to Liangdu this time not only for Li Manshu, but more importantly, to finalize the actors of several important roles in the crew.
Will she agree to star?
After Shen Huan thought about it again, he quickly threw this thought out of his mind and casually looked at the information in front of him—although he had already seen these things last night.
is the same as he guessed, there are no actors in today's interviewers who are contracted to sign in Huaying, but this can't be said that Huaying is aimed at him, after all, the actors who can sign Huaying are generally more famous and professional, and the actors who take over the drama are generally through Huaying's resources, and they are not likely to come out to run this kind of interview by themselves.
To put it simply, today's interview objects are all actors who are not of a very high grade, and they are basically impossible to find famous ones.
However, compared with the last interview of "Meteor Garden", the grade this time is still much higher, after all, he now has the title of "Drama King Creator" after all, and he can be regarded as a famous person in the circle, which is still relatively attractive to many actors, so in today's list of interviewers, there is not a lot of rich information, such as the one he is aiming at now: Qin Yong, male, 31 years old, has played a supporting role in "The Son of Heaven of Great Wei" Pingjianghou, and has played a supporting role in "Burning Years" Yan Xiaojun. Survival" starred in the supporting role Fan Sheng...... With all kinds of supporting role performance experience, it seems that he is also a well-mixed role actor, which is a grade higher than Shen Huan's big deal in another world, but if you want to say that he is famous, it is really not famous, and the audience probably can't even call his name.
Actors like Qin Yong are the main members of Shen Huan's interviewers today, like "Meteor Garden", Xue Yangze and other newcomers are basically invisible, and they have been eliminated by the actors' union in accordance with Shen Huan's requirements.
In general, there are still quite a lot of interviewers, which is also the result of Shen Huan's change in the selection conditions: in the last "Meteor Garden", his focus was on his appearance and image, and he did not have high requirements for acting skills, but this time, he focused on his business ability, and basically had no requirements for his appearance and image.
"Let's get started. ”
Shen Huan saw that the time was almost up, and gave an order, so today's interview began.
……
The interview lasted for a total of seven days, and Shen Huan finally finalized the actors for the five important roles, and the other roles were handed over to another casting assistant director Qin Muyang found for him in the past two days, and he didn't interfere - he just controlled the important roles himself, and if he decided every role, then he wouldn't work.
And in the face of the several important roles finally selected by Shen Huan, Chen Jiang couldn't bear to look at them directly, because the actors selected by Shen Huan can be said to be crooked and cracked dates in appearance, and there are no handsome guys and beauties. Under the backdrop of such a group of people, the ordinary-looking actresses selected by Shen Huan have become beauties.
"Although we are not a drama like "Meteor Garden", we should pay attention to the appearance, right?
Chen Jiang made such suggestions to Shen Huan several times, but they were all rejected by Shen Huan with a wry smile.
At the same level, of course, he also hopes to choose actors with excellent appearance, but the problem is that his acting skills can meet his requirements, and his appearance is excellent, and people don't like him at all, such as Shi Lei.
Shen Huan also specially looked for Shi Lei's film and television materials to watch, and his acting skills were really passable, especially the elegant temperament and face, the effect of starring in the role of Lu Qiaoshan in the play is absolutely good, and if he acts well, he will definitely shine, but no one can help him, so he can only grasp the key point and retreat to the second, which has led to him forming such a monster army that is not famous and has a negative appearance.
At this point, the main cast has basically been decided, if she is unwilling to play the role of Li Manshu, Shen Huan also has candidates in the interviews in the past few days, but there is only one heroine, which has never been decided.
