"Dragon Babu" is definitely a rare big IP in recent years, unlike the overhead world of giants, costume dramas have always been available in Huaguo, and the audience is also very wide. It is conceivable that when this story is filmed, the ratings will definitely explode.

However, Xu Donglai is an actor after all, and his body is less copper than a regular businessman. He has the intention of "filming this TV series well".

Taking a step back, even if he just wanted to make money, there was no way the dog would let him do it.

Xu Donglai himself is the largest funder, so at his request, no producer can dictate to the crew, and the director's casting is completely based on the needs of the work, without considering the factors of favor and capital.

This kind of thing is very rare, it is a dream for the director, he naturally wants to make a good film, and he strives for perfection in all aspects.

This has led to the fact that it has been several months since the project was announced, and the roles have still not been selected.

This time, the director was also invited by Zhao Zhenying, and many actors who were not invited tried their best to squeeze onto the island when they learned about it, in order to take advantage of this time to perform well in order to get a role.

Because he knew that the director was also worried about casting, Xu Donglai wanted to help after meeting Ximen Qing, and there were two original authors, I believe they could give the director some help.

Well...... That's what he thought at first.

But after returning to the hotel and mentioning it to the director, he was strongly rejected by the latter.

"No, you don't!" Ding Yan looked disgusted, "What can two laymen help?" It's good if you don't make a mess for me, they draw comics honestly, why do they want to meddle in TV dramas? ”

Xu Donglai and Ding Yan have also been old friends for more than 20 years, knowing that this guy has a temper, he didn't care, but said with a smile: "Do you need to be so repulsive?" ”

Ding Yan said: "Lao Xu, we have agreed, I am in charge of everything in this TV series, and you are arranging two people to come in now, isn't it blocking me?" What annoys me the most is this kind of original author, who doesn't know how to shoot at all, that is, they can't reduce this or delete that, they don't know how much effort we have to spend on the set and how much money we spend on special effects when they use the pen to tap the keyboard...... You can do it! Depend on! ”

"You mean what you did about last year's TV show?" Xu Donglai naturally understood that Ding Yan was not targeting Ximen and them, but had been cheated, so his impression of the "original author" was not very good.

Last year, Ding Yan took over a TV series, and the original work was a futuristic fantasy. In order to restore the plot, Ding Yan spent a lot of effort to develop equipment and special effects, but the author's imagination was too wild, and some things really couldn't be filmed, so he had to delete part of the plot, and as a result, the TV series hit the street directly after it was launched.

The original author of that part complained on Weibo afterwards that the crew blindly changed the plot, which caused Ding Yan's Weibo to be blasted by fans of the original work for a whole month, and now you can still see some mocking comments.

This time he took over Tianlong Babu, and that group of people also held a petition activity on the Internet to change the director, which made him so angry that he almost had a seizure with high blood pressure.

"Don't mention that, I'll be angry when I mention it," Ding Yan waved his hand, "It took me so much effort to fix the bug at the beginning, but now I think about it, it's a cheap mistake." ”

Xu Donglai said with a smile: "That TV series itself is something that the rich second generation bought to give his girlfriend a fun time, publicity, investment, casting and other aspects are destined to be difficult to fire, you spend so much effort yourself to go on is self-inflicted and boring, who can blame you?" ”

"That's what I'm wrong with," Ding Yan sighed, "In the past, no one asked me to shoot when I wanted to film, and I finally got through, but now whenever the script comes to me, I want to shoot it well, as for whether to make money or not, it's your businessman's business, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"That's why I chose you as the director," Xu Donglai said with a smile, "Old man, listen to me, you meet with them first, the two teachers have a good temper, and there won't be anything like you think." ”

"......" Ding Yan hesitated for a while, "That's okay, I'll listen to you once, but I think you're just doing too much, how can the two women help?" ”

"You," Xu Donglai sighed, "If this temper doesn't change, sooner or later you will have to fight for a lifetime, the two teachers are very beautiful, I tell you, if anyone can marry one of them, it will be a blessing for eight lifetimes." ”

"Alas, stop!" Ding Yan hurriedly shouted to stop, "Why do you seize the opportunity to be a matchmaker for me?" I said that I am not interested in women now, and the work is my wife. ”

Xu Donglai had no choice but to give up.

Ding Yan is 44 this year, which is not too big in the entertainment industry. I was also married once in my early years, but later divorced because I was too poor, and my son was awarded to my ex-wife, and now that I am developed, I have never thought of remarrying.

As an old friend, Xu Donglai is really worried about him, this guy is simply a collection of orphan elements, if no one helps him, it is estimated that he will not even have a person to send to the end of his life.

……

In the evening, Ximen Qing, Song Yunwu and Qin Yuyao came to the banquet venue as promised. Su Yuanying matched the three of them, so they are now wearing exquisite evening dresses, and their hairstyles, accessories, and so on are also perfect.

As soon as the three of them arrived, it attracted a lot of attention.

Ximen Qing and Song Yunwu were indifferent, but Qin Yuyao was a little nervous: "Oh, why are they looking this way?" ”

"You're pretty," Simon said, leaning into her ear in a long white dress with a slit at the back, "Look at their stupid look like a group of courting baboons?" Ru Yao, be careful not to be eaten tofu, if someone comes to ask you to dance, kick his balls. ”

"I can't dance." Qin Yuyao said honestly.

Song Yunwu pulled Ximen Qing: "Don't teach Xiao Yuyao badly." ”

"Where?" Ximen Qing said aggrievedly, "If a man covets you, shouldn't you be castrated on the spot?" ”

Song Yunwu sighed, there is really no way to take this idiot zombie, I hope no unlucky person hits the muzzle.

Just as I was thinking of this, I suddenly heard a man's voice from the side: "Beautiful young lady, can I ask you to dance?" ”

"Ahh As soon as the words fell, I heard a strange cry from Ximenqing, followed by a man's muffled snort.

"Gross-"

As soon as Song Yunwu turned around, he saw a man clutching his legs and falling to the ground in pain.
