Chapter 109: Trivial Things

"I'll take this play!" Zhang Yang turned off his mobile phone, raised his head and said to Wang Bao seriously.

Wang Bao was still a little stunned when he heard it, and then he reacted, and happily confirmed: "Brother Zhang, you mean, are you willing to be the director of this play?"

"Yes, I've probably read the script, and it's a good script. And I could, there was nothing to do during this time, so I didn't want to miss this opportunity, so I took this job with the cheekiness. Brother Wang Bao, is this okay?" Although Zhang Yang's words were very polite, his attitude was very determined.

When it comes to making urban dramas, there must be many directors who are not inferior to him, or even better than him. Not to mention far away, it is Director Zhao Beigang that Wang Bao has just come into contact with, that is, he must be better than him. But among the people Wang Bao knows, there are people who are good at directing youth urban idol dramas, and there is still a director who has time, that is, the Zhang Yang who just met in front of him.

And this person graduated from the film academy, Huang Miao knows, or He Ling brought it, it should be reliable!

"Then him!" Wang Bao thought in his heart, and his mouth was not idle: "Okay, let's settle this matter, Brother Zhang, pay attention to setting aside a schedule, our scene should be filmed soon." ”

"Okay, then it's decided!" Zhang Yang also smiled when he heard Wang Bao agree. He will discuss the script with Wang Bao next, as well as the selection of characters, because Wang Bao is not only the screenwriter, he is also the main investor, which is really important!

Huang Miao won't read the script anymore, it's hard for him to imagine, why did Wang Bao write the script? And after he read the script, he felt that Wang Bao wrote very well!

A few people chatted a few more words, and then dispersed, Wang Bao and Huang Miao went home, He Ling and Zhang Yang didn't know where to go, Wang Bao originally came to see them off, but they arranged a car to pick them up, so Wang Bao saved trouble.

Wang Bao, who didn't get up until noon the next day, called the store and arranged for someone to clean up the second floor. Then at noon, he called Zhang Zichen again and said that he had found the director. Zhang Zichen had heard of Zhang Yang and felt that he was more suitable for filming this drama, so he supported Wang Bao's decision.

"Then it's just a matter of finding a partner now, do you want to find a partner in the end?" Zhang Zichen finally asked.

Of course, Wang Bao also thought about this problem, when he chatted with He Ling yesterday, he asked a lot about this matter, so he said: "I still think Xin Baoyuan is very good in the end, you can take the script and show it to Director Zhao first, see if he is interested?"

"Okay, I'll go print a script after I finish work this afternoon, and then show it to Director Zhao. Zhang Zichen agreed to Wang Bao's proposal and happily agreed.

"Then have you talked to Yan Xiaoni on the phone? I went to visit the class that day and told her about the heroine, and she said that she would think about it, but there is no news so far. Wang Bao asked about Yan Xiaoni, and he had been waiting for Yan Xiaoni's reply.

"I've called, but that's what Xiao Ni said to me, think about it. We have to understand her, after all, she is now a filmmaker, and she hasn't acted in a TV series during the New Year, and at the same time, we must also consider the attitude of the company behind her. Zhang Zichen understands Yan Xiaoni very well, although there is no such thing as a person in this world, but in fact, many artists have a persona, and it is not easy to break it.

"Okay! No, I'm really going to look at the thatched house, I think this drama will impress Xiao Ni and the company behind her. After listening to Zhang Zichen's analysis, Wang Bao could be regarded as an approval, and he could only plan like this first.

"Wait a minute, I know Xiaoni, she must be moved, otherwise she would have refused a long time ago. Zhang Zichen said this, and Wang Bao couldn't hold on to it, so he could only wait for Yan Xiaoni's call.

"Okay, let's do it first, I still have something to do here, I'll hang up the phone first. At this time, there was a voice on the phone calling Zhang Zichen over, and after Zhang Zichen hurriedly said a word, he hung up the phone.

Wang Bao put down his phone and thought about it, things can only be like this for the time being, so he simply didn't want to do it, let it go first.

After lunch, Song Jia called and said that the conditions of the film and television companies he contacted were not very good. is either less investment and more management, or requires capital to enter the group, in fact, it is very common in the film and television industry to bring capital into the group, but these people actually bite to death to ask for the male number one, so it's a fart!

Wang Bao wrote this script in order to play the male lead, firstly, to increase the fame of the TV series, and to have a representative work. Therefore, for the requirements of these film and television companies, let alone Wang Bao, it is impossible to agree to it from Song Jia.

The meaning of his call, in addition to scolding these film and television companies for being insatiable, is also to tell Wang Bao to let him contact Xin Baoyuan himself. Wang Bao said that he was already in contact to reassure Song Jia and told him that the director had been decided. Song Jia is not very familiar with Zhang Yang, although Wang Bao is quite reliable, he still said that he will investigate through his relationship to ensure that there are no problems.

Wang Bao didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, and originally planned to sort out the song samples at home, so that after Lao Yang had a letter, he could quickly record a new single.

But as soon as he started tidying up, he received a call from Zhang Yang, who said that he wanted to discuss the casting. Wang Bao felt that this matter was also very important, so he made an appointment in his shop, mainly because the two of them were not far away and easy to find.

When Wang Bao drove to the store, Zhang Yang was already waiting outside the door, which made Wang Bao feel that this person was still reliable, at least quite punctual.

"Brother Zhang, let's go, let's go up and talk. Wang Bao opened the door and went up to the second floor with Zhang Yang. After the living room of the two was ready, Wang Bao made a pot of tea and began to discuss the casting.

"After I went back yesterday, I read the script again in detail, and it was really well written. The subject matter is not novel, but some of the settings in it are very novel and attractive, how do you think of it? Alien + lived for hundreds of years + superpowers + a few elements of the celebrity's private life, it's simply, absolutely amazing! There is also the structure and layout of the whole script, which is also very rigorous and atmospheric, and the plot arrangement is also ups and downs and tense, and it must be very interesting to shoot. Although Zhang Yang wears glasses, the big dark circles under his eyes are not covered by glasses. It seems that he did stay up late to read the script, but Wang Bao looked at his current excitement, and he didn't look like a person who didn't have a good rest.

It seems that the drama maniacs in the entertainment industry not only refer to those actors, a good script may also make a director become a "drama maniac"!

Wang Bao looked at Zhang Yang with an excited expression, and felt that it was better to explain it to him a little, otherwise he was afraid that he would suddenly pull over. So Wang Bao opened his mouth and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I usually like to read some fantasy science fiction novels, and I like and am familiar with these elements." At that time, when I discussed writing a script with my agent, my agent said that urban fashion romantic dramas are easier to become popular, and the requirements for acting skills are not very high. So I first decided on the type of script, which is an urban fashion romance drama. Then if I want to be popular, I must add some novel settings in it, and the things I am more comfortable with are science fiction and fantasy things, so I added aliens, superpowers and other elements to it.

Of course, a story must have a beginning and an end, and if you want people to remember, I think you should add some simple life principles to it. If you don't want to be hated, it's best to experience something yourself, so that it looks real. A young person will have so many life insights, so he needs older people, but the older leading actors in urban dramas can't do it. I thought about it for a long time to sort these out, and the outer planets will live forever as long as they live, so that there is nothing wrong with superpowers. So in the end, after several revisions, there is the current script. ”

Wang Baoyang said a lot of things, in fact, they were all the movie reviews he had watched before, and some of his thoughts when watching the drama, and after a little processing, it became the reason for his creation.

"Very good! Very genius idea!" Zhang Yang listened to Wang Bao's words, feeling very reasonable, he could explain it, and the rest of him was only admiration.

"So let's talk about these characters in the script, do you have the right people in mind?" Zhang Yang calmed his emotions a little before bringing up today's main topic.

"I don't have to think about the male protagonist, I designed it for myself. The actor has a straight face as a whole, and basically doesn't require any advanced acting skills, which is just right for newcomers like me who haven't acted much. Wang Bao told the truth, and Zhang Yang nodded his head to express his approval and understanding.

"What about the others?" Zhang Yang, as a director, certainly hopes to cast by himself, but Wang Bao, as a screenwriter and main investor, must also listen to his suggestions.

"For the heroine, I invited Yan Xiaoni, but she hasn't given a clear answer yet. ”

"Yan Xiaoni?" Zhang Yang was a little shocked when he heard Wang Bao say that the heroine had found Yan Xiaoni. He thought to himself: "Who gave you the courage? actually asked Yan Xiaoni to play the heroine of the TV series?"

"Are you sure? she's a movie actress!" Zhang Yang reconfirmed, although he was surprised.

"Of course, this was two days ago, and I don't think I'll be mistaken. Wang Bao replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, if Yan Xiaoni can play the heroine, then I will definitely have no problem. Zhang Yang must be satisfied with Yan Xiaoni, but he doesn't know if he can be invited.

"What about the other characters?"

"As for the other roles, I haven't thought about it specifically. But as the good friend of the male protagonist and the lawyer, I think I can find Mr. Huang Miao to play it. "Wang Bao really didn't think about it, it was the role of Huang Miao, or after yesterday's party, Zhang Yang suddenly thought of it when he asked about it today.

Zhang Yang recalled the script, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Huang should be fine." ”

"The rest is up to Brother Zhang, you to decide, and after the decision, we will discuss it to see if it is suitable. "Wang Bao definitely can't dominate all the roles, the main one is set, and the rest will be handed over to the director. But he thought of Xin Baoyuan's side, if the two cooperated, it was estimated that there would be people coming in. So he mentioned again: "By the way, we may have to find a company to co-produce, so we will have to see if there is a suitable candidate on their side at that time." But Brother Zhang, don't worry, as long as the person who is not suitable for the role, no matter who it is, I will support you and don't let people mix blindly. ”

Wang Bao said that the implication of this sentence is that if the person who is stuffed in, if it is suitable for the role, then it must be used.

Zhang Yang is not a dead brain, so he readily agreed. Then he mentioned a few people, and what roles they were suitable for. But Wang Bao was not familiar with the people he mentioned, so after discussing with the two, they decided to arrange an audition at that time, send invitations to all these people, and then see if it was suitable or not through the audition.

In the afternoon, the matter was basically discussed, and then Wang Baoliu had a meal, but he said that there was still something to do, so he left in a hurry.

The next night, Wang Bao received a call from his girlfriend, saying that Director Zhao was very interested in the cooperation of "Star You" and liked the script very much. But Director Zhao couldn't leave for filming, and Wang Baofei needed to fly over.

Wang Bao bought a ticket early the next morning and flew directly to HN, ready to talk to Zhao Beigang about co-producing a TV series.
