Chapter 119: Casting Turmoil
In the large conference room of Tang Company, it is a kind of hot posture at the moment, and many stars who usually can't see the shadow are gathering here at this moment, and from time to time they are exchanging some interesting anecdotes with familiar celebrity friends.

Wang Yan took Liu Shishi out of the taxi and did not go directly to Sister K's office, but came directly to the conference room.
Opening the door of the conference room, Wang Yan walked in with Liu Shishi.
I saw that all the stars in the conference room looked towards Wang Yan and Liu Shishi, but after a while, after finding that they were not the high-level of the Tang people, they resumed their original appearance, and exchanged their heads with a group of acquaintances, without taking Wang Yan and Liu Shishi as the same thing at all, obviously thinking that Wang Yan and Liu Shishi were also young actors who came to participate in the audition.
Liu Shishi felt a little nervous, after all, this was the first time she had been so close to these stars who could only be seen on TV or in movies. If it weren't for Wang Yan in front, in order to take care of Wang Yan's face, she would have wanted to find some of her favorite stars to sign autographs.
arranged Liu Shishi to sit down at the back, and Wang Yan made a call to Sister K, saying that she had arrived in the conference room.
Hearing that Wang Yan had arrived, Sister K paused for a while and said, "Well, since you have already come, then you should come to my office first." There's still a few things you need to decide, and there's still almost an hour left on this casting meeting, so there's no need to be so anxious. ”
Hearing what Sister K said, Wang Yan suddenly complained in his heart. When he was in Guyi Garden just now, he heard Sister K tell him to come back quickly, and now he actually said that there was still an hour, isn't this Cheng Xin playing with his little heart Wang Yan. But this is just thinking about it, he knows that Sister K definitely has something, otherwise he wouldn't say that.
After hanging up the phone with Sister K, Wang Yan glanced at Shishi apologetically and said, "Shishi, you wait for me here for a while, there will be an audition casting here in a while, and when this meeting is over, let's leave together, okay?"
Liu Shishi originally wanted to say that she could go first by herself, but the words still didn't come out, maybe she also wanted to see how Wang Yan behaved for a while, right? Nodding, Liu Shishi said: "Okay, you go first, it's okay if I'm here, besides, when you leave, I'm also going to find those celebrities for autographs." ”
Listening to Shishi's words, Wang Yan smiled, very relaxed, Shishi was so good to him, he never asked him for anything.
Opening the door of the conference room again, Wang Yan walked towards Sister K's office. When he came to the door of the office, Wang Yan heard the voice coming from inside, knocked on the door, and Wang Yan walked into the office.
In the office, a small group of actors and staff have gathered at this time, they should all be from the crew of the new version of "Liao Zhai", and they should still be from Tang Company.
After a glance, Wang Yan found that most of the people had met each other, but one of them looked very young, standing with Hu Ge, a little restrained, as if it was the first time to participate in such a small meeting.
Seeing Wang Yan coming in, Sister K beckoned to him and said, "Wang Yan is here, come over quickly." ”
Walking over, Hu Ge slapped Wang Yan and said, "Senior brother, I will also introduce a classmate of mine to you, this is called Yuan Hong, who is my college classmate, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future." ”
Hearing Hu Ge's introduction, the handsome young man named Yuan Hong also smiled at Wang Yan, as if he was a little nervous, and said, "Brother Yan, I will ask you to take care of it more in the future." ”
Wang Yan nodded, smiling kindly, otherwise he was afraid that this young man might be too nervous.
"It doesn't matter, everyone will promote each other together in the future, there is nothing to take care of, anyway, you are Dahu's classmate, just come to me directly if you have something." Wang Yan didn't put on a show at all, thinking in his heart that this young man might also join this play, and he might be signed by Tang to become an artist.
Sister K waited until everyone here was introduced before she said: "Wang Yan, you are late, read these scripts first, and then choose a series that you like better, this time we used six of them in the new version of "Liao Zhai", and we are ready to shoot the story in it, and our main target audience is young people, so we will also refer to this aspect in this casting." ”
Nodding, Wang Yan said he understood. As for the Tang people's planning, he has a general understanding of it. Most of the TV series produced by the Tang Dynasty pay attention to handsome guys and beautiful women, which is commonly known as idols. This can be seen from the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" filmed by the Tang Dynasty, a series of handsome men and beautiful women.
Receiving the script handed over by Sister K, Wang Yan said with a smile: "By the way, Dahu, which series are you going to take over this time?"
Hearing Wang Yan ask, Hu Ge smiled and said, "You are the first brother of our Tang people, you haven't started to choose yet, how can I choose?" Fortunately, Da Hu and Wang Yan are good friends who have a good relationship, so it doesn't matter if they both say so. If it were an artist from another company, it wouldn't be so calm, after all, the artists of the same company are all in competition, and the company's resources are so many, who is tilted, it shows that other artists can't get enough resources, and some unpleasant and even dirty things may happen.
It's okay in the Tang Dynasty, because there are very few artists of the younger generation in the Tang Dynasty, and Hu Ge has just come out of the academy, so he can't have so much ambition, but Wang Yan doesn't care a little, because his contract says everything, and he doesn't need to fight for it anymore. As the first brother of the company, if there is no treatment of the first brother, then I can't say anything.
With a slight smile, Wang Yan sat on the sofa next to him, ready to see what the stories of this new version of "Liao Zhai" are.
I looked at the names one by one, which are "Lu Judgment", "Painted Skin", "A Bao", "Xiao Cui", "Xiao Xie and Qiu Rong", and one is "Xiao Qian", that is, A Chinese Ghost Story.
Wang Yan's first thought was to shoot the series "Xiao Qian", how to say, for such a long time, A Chinese Ghost Story is too famous. Especially this year, my brother disappeared forever on April 1st April Fool's Day, and the movie of A Chinese Ghost Story has completely become a classic memory among people.
Many people can only rely on movies and songs to remember their beloved brother who was high-spirited at the beginning. For this news, most people thought it was just an April Fool's joke, but who knew that it would actually become a reality.
Flipping through the series of scripts of "Xiao Qian", Wang Yan slowly calmed down and took a look, and the more he looked at Wang Yan's brows, the deeper he wrinkled, because this drama is really not comparable with A Chinese Ghost Story.
If the label of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" is horror, fantasy, love, action and the like, then this series of "Xiao Qian" is love, idols, special effects, and the gap between the two is the distance of a hundred "Xiao Qian". Moreover, this is not to mention subjective issues such as the acting skills and performance of the roles between the two.
Even if Wang Yan wants to reshape a Ning Caichen who is different from his brother, I am afraid it is unlikely, and it is very likely that he will be scolded to death by fans and audiences who like his brother.
The whole plot of this series of "Xiao Qian" is love, in addition to love or love! It is simply love and idols as the main theme, the love between Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian, the love between Yan Chixia and her grandmother, the love between Chen Santai and the goblin, of course, it is also indispensable that the old demon of Montenegro also wants to marry Xiaoqian as a demon, anyway, this series of "Xiaoqian" makes Wang Yan completely uninterested.
put down the script of "Xiao Qian", and Wang Yan read some scripts of other series in turn. "Xiao Cui" is not his dish, if he plays a fool and a villain, it will definitely not work, at least not now. Although it is said that playing a fool is very good for exercising acting skills, it is easy to create a bad impression on the audience, and it is even easy to leave a "fool" label on the audience.
This phenomenon is also common, if some actors often play a villain, no matter what the actor is like in reality, in the eyes of the audience, this actor is a bad person. As long as it appears in a TV series or movie, the first thought to the audience is that this guy must be another heinous villain.
Wang Yan also has this consideration, it really takes a lot of courage to play such a role, and it is generally a famous actor who will play it. First, they can exercise their acting skills, and secondly, they are not afraid, because with the foreshadowing of many previous roles, even if they play fools, they will not leave the audience with the label of 'fools'.
This situation is not Wang Yan's crankiness, I believe everyone has this weird idea, for example, Wang Yan himself has this idea, he originally watched "The Silly King Breaks the World" starring Hong Kong star Guo Jin'an, and now as soon as Guo Jin'an appears in the TV series, his first thought is that this guy should be a fool, it seems too stupid.
After excluding the series "Xiaocui" again, Wang Yan read four other scripts.
Half an hour later, Wang Yan finally read the remaining four scripts roughly, closed his eyes, Wang Yan thought about the plot of these four books, and felt a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Sister K saw that Wang Yan had finished watching it, so she smiled and said, "How is it, which story do you value?" Originally, in Sister K's impression, she felt that Wang Yan should choose the series "Xiao Qian", after all, this series already has a strong audience base, as long as the acting is not particularly unsatisfactory, there will always be a group of fans, but she doesn't know that Wang Yan's first thing is to exclude the script of "Xiao Qian".
I don't know what Sister K thinks when she knows Wang Yan's thoughts, what kind of expression she is?
Hearing Sister K's inquiry, Wang Yan didn't pretend to be contemplative, but said: "This time, I'm going to star in "Painted Skin""
