89 Hindsight
Feng Tangtang originally wanted to ask Jiang Sa, because as early as when she was planning to take over this year's drama, Jiang Sa had proposed that she let her give more roles in fantasy dramas to newcomers.
After thinking about it, Yun Mo is also Jiang Sa's boss, naturally this master, Yun Mo is doing it.
Li Gang has the grace of knowing Feng Tangtang, Li Gang appointed her to play the second female lead, even if she hasn't read the book, she has to try it with her agent, not to mention that now that Yun Mo has opened her mouth, she has no baggage: "Master needs me, I must be fine." ”
"What do you think of the male protagonist's candidate?" Li Gang put a two-page PPT on the big screen, listing the names of some actors, "This is what I think I can try from the senses alone, the schedule and salary have not been discussed yet, let's discuss and discuss first, especially the two actresses you have set." ”
Feng Tangtang looked up, they were all well-known names, not only TV coffee, but also movie coffee, all of whom were candidates with good looks and acting skills, it can be seen that Li Gang had invested heavily this time and wanted to shoot this drama well.
Li Gang said that he didn't count the salary, Feng Tangtang calculated it for him, if one of the several was set, then the other roles would probably have to be used as newcomers or not very popular roles, and those actors who have not filmed small screen scenes for a long time are very expensive.
What surprised Feng Tangtang even more was that Zuo Yan's name was also listed.
"Master, you put Zuo Yan in...... What are the considerations? Feng Tangtang secretly thought, Zuo Yan's company has a lot of things, and this year's box office results should not be bad, and his next movie will definitely be prepared within the year, I'm afraid there is no time to participate in the TV series.
Li Gang glanced at her with interest and asked, "What do you think is the consideration?" ”
"Master is a serious person who makes dramas, it can't be because of the relationship between the two of us, and he wants to hype up the heat, right?" Feng Tangtang asked cautiously.
"Your master is such a superficial person?" Li Gang asked her with a smile.
Feng Tangtang didn't answer yet, Yun Mo replied with interest on the side: "That's right, since Director Li was promoted to producer, his vision has also broadened to the publicity market. ”
Li Gang was choked by Yun Mo, but he still confessed: "I also watched the trailer of "April Love Song", and I think that the child's acting skills have not regressed, but it is not only to fry couples. ”
Yunmo put the PPT on the second page, switched back to the first page, thought for a while, and turned to the second page.
In her opinion, the casting on the later page is more "down-to-earth".
Sun Ping, who was silent on the side, suddenly picked up the laser pointer and circled the most inconspicuous name on the second page: Xinan.
"Little Sun, tell me what you think." When Li Gang saw Sun Ping choosing Xinan, he was also quite impressed. Li Gang took him as an alternative at the beginning, not because he thought his acting skills were exquisite, but because he cooperated well with the upper Republic of China drama in the studio, and his acting skills were ...... There is still some room for improvement, but in his selfish heart, Li Gang does not like him the most.
Sun Ping glanced at Yunmo first: "If you talk about fried couples, although the popularity of Xinan and Yunmo is not as good as Tangtang and them, they have also accumulated a lot of sister and brother lovers." Of course, Tangtang and they are now a real couple, and the popularity will continue to soar, but from the audience's projection of love, I hope that the on-screen couples will have ambiguity with each other, Xinan is a good publicity point. ”
Yun Mo picked the corners of her mouth slightly, but did not refute.
"That's what you're talking about as a market consideration. As an assistant director, I mainly think about casting. Sun Ping said to Li Gang seriously, "Everyone has also read the script, different from "The Legend of the Lady", this is a male lead play, the focus role is definitely the male lead, before we filmed the male lead play, most of them are historical, the casting of the first page of Director Li, others don't understand, but I understand." ”
"The movie café on the first page, except for Zuo Yan, which is close to the aesthetics of today's young people, the other male characters are too masculine and tough. This is Director Li's big idea for filming men's dramas and historical dramas, this idea was easy to use ten years ago, but now it is not easy to use. ”
Sun Ping pointed out Li Gang's problem sharply, because several large and small shareholders present were her own people, and she had worked with Li Gang for many years, and she was not afraid that he would be angry.
Li Gang shook his head and asked puzzledly: "You also said that it is a male lead play, and it is a play of one man and many women." Unlike the two couples in our last Republic of China drama, most of the women in the play have a good impression of the male protagonist, which is why we need a more masculine male protagonist. ”
Yun Mo burst out laughing: "Director Li, as soon as Sister Ping said it, I also understand what Director Li thinks." What about our rise, lies in what kind of man can have a harem? Ten years ago, it was the harem that was attacked, and now it is the only one who is receiving. ”
Li Gang had a question mark on his face: "What kind of attack...... Harem? ”
Feng Tangtang laughed on the side: "Master, you are old!" ”
Li Gang looked at the three women, at a loss.
It was Feng Tangtang who gave him science as an apprentice: "A man who is relatively strong and tough should be attractive to women." But to be attractive to a wide range of women, it is a softer, warmer and more affectionate face. And such a man is also more likely to have a sense of substitution for today's male audiences. ”
Li Gang thought for a while: "No wonder after "The Smoke of the Family", Xinan's popularity soared, and I still can't figure it out. I've also watched some recent idol dramas, and the male characters in them are really ...... It's not the same as I was back then. ”
Sun Ping smiled at Li Gang: "Times have changed, and women have begun to consume men. Female audiences no longer have a special preference for strong men, unless that man is strong to everyone, but tender to his beloved...... To put it simply, it's a domineering president or something. ”
"No, no, no." Li Gang held his glasses with his painful hand, "We, the male protagonist, are obviously tender to all women. ”
"Then choose Xinan." Yun Mo said, "Anyway, I'm the first woman, and if you want to choose CP, you should also choose mine, not Tangtang." ”
Feng Tangtang shrugged, she also felt in her heart that she had just announced her relationship, and it was not appropriate to let Zuo Yan play the central air conditioner.
Xinan's kind of flower ~ beautiful man is more suitable for the role. It's just that when Yunmo said CP, she was unaware and thought that Yunmo was talking about couple CP.
At the casting discussion, everyone only set the general direction, and the specific audition work behind was still arranged by Sun Ping. Fantasy dramas are a very troublesome category in costume dramas, not only costumes, but also a lot of props, and the preparation work in the early stage is complicated.

In the interval between the preparation of the TV series, Feng Tangtang followed Zuo Yan to the movie promotion in several cities.
Although it is not as crazy as the roadshow of domestic films running to the city after the rise of the film market, Feng Tangtang still feels that Zuo Yan is quite desperate in this matter.
Xiao Lin, the head of their propaganda department, can be regarded as creating a propaganda routine for domestic youth films. Since it is a youth film, instead of renting a space in the theater, it is better to go directly to the university to promote it.
The previous domestic movies did not have such a down-to-earth way of publicity, and "April Love Song" can be said to be the beginning of the sect. Thanks to this publicity plan, Zuo Yan and Feng Tangtang visited several university campuses with different styles and met all kinds of college students, taking this opportunity to shorten the distance with the audience and understand more about the thoughts of young audiences.
"You see, I've been talking about not going to college together." After Feng Tangtang finished a certain publicity, he sat in the nanny car exhausted and chatted to Zuo Yan, "It's good now, one time is enough, within a month, we can go to more than a dozen universities together, and we can kill the university." ”
Zuo Yan took a breath of cool air with a "hiss": "No, you weren't like this Tang Tang before, why do you open your mouth now to talk about yellow jokes?" ”
"I used to be a pure child star." Feng Tangtang put his hands on his cheeks and maliciously sold a cute, "Now that you are making trouble, every day is filthy and filthy, and naturally the whole person is filthy and filthy." ”
Although it was a malicious sale, Zuo Yan still bought it, covered her hands on her hands, rubbed her face according to her hands, and kissed the little red lips "poof": "It's you who have potential, but the potential has been tapped by me." ”
Feng Tangtang glared at him, and then swept the driver of the nanny car with his residual vision, and sure enough, the driver was peeping through the rearview mirror.
Alas, it will be necessary for Sister Sa to change the driver.
Zuo Yan didn't care about this, but said coquettishly: "I kissed you before, and you would blush." Now when I kiss me, you stare at me...... Alas, reminiscing about the past......"
Feng Tangtang smiled proudly: "Recalling the past, count the romantic characters-" raised his arm and pointed to himself, "Look at the present." ”
Zuo Yan pinched her face vigorously and poked the itchy flesh on her body: "Let you be merry, let you be merry." ”
"Hahahaha......" Feng Tangtang stepped back in the back seat of the nanny's car, Zuo Yan didn't let her go at all, and forced her into a corner and gnawed hard twice before letting go.
The driver in front finally stopped looking at the two people in the rearview mirror and concentrated on driving.
Zuo Yan whispered in her ear: "Oh, if you want not to be stared at, you have to intensify it and scare him away." ”
Feng Tangtang smiled and plucked his ear and said, "When you rushed over just now, I looked in the rearview mirror, and his face was completely a 'how can there be such a lewd/promiscuous thing in the world'...... No, I'll still ask Sister Sa to change me to an old driver. ”
Zuo Yan nodded her head suddenly: "You still blame others for peeking at you, don't you also peek at others?" ”
"Hmph, this is a courtesy exchange." Feng Tangtang nodded his head back, "It was the rearview mirror that did it first, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
As he was talking, a phone call came to Feng Tangtang's mobile phone, interrupting their flirting.
Feng Tangtang saw that it was Jiang Sa, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly picked it up: "What is, Sister Sa?" ”
"It's sure to sign Xinan as the male lead." Jiang Sa said succinctly, "I discussed it with Yun Mo and decided to learn your lesson, announce the relationship between Xinan and Yun Mo before the play, and prepare to arrange you to be the best friend who broke the news, do you have any questions?" ”
Feng Tangtang was stunned on the spot with his mobile phone.
"Do you have a problem?" Jiang Sa repeated it again.
"Yes...... Ask...... Question ......" Feng Tangtang looked at Zuoyan, avoided the front rearview mirror, and quietly asked Jiang Sa, "They, are they a couple?" ”
