Chapter 401: Hot Search Again
"Why do you want Li Lan to play such an important role, she is not worthy, what strength does she have as a vase actor?"
"Li Lan will never be whitewashed, even if she is allowed to participate, she will never be whitewashed." Many netizens expressed their dissatisfaction at the bottom.
Tong Lu didn't expect the resistance of these passers-by to be so strong, although a small number of netizens agreed with Tong Lu's approach, and said that no matter what Tong Lu did, they would stand up to the end, but there were also many netizens who felt that Li Lan, a woman covered in black material, was not worthy of entering the entertainment industry again.
Tong Lu poured herself a glass of water, intending to drink saliva to dissipate her anger, but before she could drink it, Li Lan's phone suddenly called.
On the phone, Li Lan's voice carried a hint of sadness, "Tong Lu, I'm sorry, I was the one who caused you." ”
Tong Lu was secretly surprised, Li Lan is an arrogant woman, and she rarely apologizes to others, it seems that this blow has a great impact on her, and her personality has begun to change.
"What are you talking about, isn't this a contingency, when I was attacked, didn't you also stand up? This bit of gossip is nothing to me. Tong Lu patiently persuaded, "You have to have some confidence in yourself." ”
Li Lan was a little moved, she thought that if she was attacked by people on the Internet, Tong Lu would compromise and give up and continue to let her participate, she didn't expect Tong Lu's attitude to be so resolute, even more firm than herself.
"Thank you Tong Lu, I don't know how to express my gratitude." Li Lan wiped her tears, she thought to herself, fortunately Tong Lu didn't see it, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
"Do we still need to say thank you, you prepare for the drama performance well, and don't want to think too much about the rest." Tong Lu comforted a few more words before hanging up the phone.
"You're in a good relationship, aren't you?" At the door, Xiao Hong looked at her with a smile, "I said Director Tongda, which one are you singing this time, you are not afraid of being targeted by netizens and making your popularity decline?" ”
"It's not the first time I've been targeted, it's already commonplace." Tong Lu said indifferently, "By the way, I asked you to prepare for casting, how is it?" ”
Originally, there were many actors who planned to participate in that drama, but as soon as they heard that Li Lan was going to participate, they immediately quit. Now those artists with a little seniority in the dream world are reluctant to participate. Xiao Hong shrugged, she came to report Tong Lu's incident, and she also wanted to persuade Tong Lu to dispel her thoughts, and it was best to let Li Lan not act for the time being. But seeing Tong Lu's determined appearance, she thought about it, but swallowed her words back, she didn't plan to mention it, she knew Tong Lu, and it was difficult to change what she believed, so she didn't open her mouth.
"It's a bit of a hassle if no one is in the show." Tong Lu didn't expect that not only the outside world would boycott Li Lan, but even the artists in the same industry would not dare to cooperate with Li Lan easily, for fear of being dragged into the water.
"It's not nothing, some rookie actors still want to try, but their acting skills are not very good, and they themselves lack popularity, if you appoint newcomers, I'm afraid that fans won't buy it at that time." If there is no support from fans, even if the drama is filmed, it will be taken off the shelves because there are no ratings. Xiao Hong strode up to Tong Lu and asked seriously, "Have you really decided?" Don't change your mind? Even if you are friends, Li Lan is now a time bomb, and he may cause some trouble. ”
Tong Lu doesn't think so, although these newcomers are not famous, but they have great potential, this stage is just right for them, she wants to use newcomers more than those old people who like to put on the shelf.
The purpose of Dream World is to let every artist with a dream be able to develop, after Tong Lu took over Dream World, he likes to promote newcomers, even if it is a newcomer who has no foundation and background, as long as he is willing to work hard, Tong Lu is willing to give him a chance.
"Xiao Hong, do you think our current drama still lacks popularity?" Tong Lu suddenly asked very seriously.
Xiao Hong was stunned, "It doesn't seem to be lacking, there has been a lot of noise on the Internet recently, I think even passers-by know about it." ”
"That's fine, there is no lack of popularity, even if you don't use those traffic stars to star, you are not afraid that no one will watch it." Tong Lu said with great certainty.
"But even if it is known, there may not be anyone to support it, and now they are so boycotting Li Lan. Tong Lu: I think your decision is too impulsive, you might as well think about it. Xiao Hong still decided to express her opinion, she didn't want to ruin a good drama because Li Lan was a woman.
"I would also like to play a small role if necessary." Tong Lu suddenly spoke.
"What? In order to help Li Lan, do you still plan to return to your old business? Xiao Hong was a little incomprehensible.
Tong Lu shook her head, she didn't mean that, it was just a last resort, and she wouldn't do it under normal circumstances. Tong Lu knows that many fans hope that she can go back, so when she appears in a drama, she is not afraid that no one will cheer her on.
"That's it, there will always be a way, and there are more ways than difficulties." Tong Lu lowered her head and began to sort out the script of the play.
Xiao Hong saw that she had made up her mind, thinking that it would be useless for her to say more, so she left the office.
The day after Tong Lu released the news, the dream world ushered in a person, Andre.
Andre was wearing a white suit, a blue tie, and gold-framed eyes in front of him, looking meticulous, he sat at the table, picked up a magazine and flipped through it, and waited quietly for Tong Lu.
Tong Lu was in a meeting at this time, and after the meeting, half an hour had passed.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Tong Lu said.
Andre was not in a hurry, but smiled and asked her to sit down, "I saw your script on the Internet yesterday, I think it's very interesting, your ideas are always so unexpected and surprising." ”
Tong Lu was stunned, she guessed that Andre came to her for work, but she felt average about this little drama, but it was able to attract Andre's attention.
"I think there is something missing in the drama, I have some personal suggestions, and I want to integrate my suggestions into your work, so that our ideas complement each other and will definitely make the content of the drama more exciting." Andre expressed his intention unabashedly, "I want to participate in the production, of course, you are the main producer." ”
It was the first time Tong Lu saw Andre put his attitude so modest, Andre hadn't come to her to talk about cooperation before, but at that time his attitude was relatively tough and high, which made Tong Lu not like it very much.
He has changed his attitude now, but Tong Lu is not used to it.
"Mr. Andre, you know that now is a critical period, many people on the Internet are boycotting my drama, they don't want Li Lan to appear in this drama, but this is what I promised Li Lan, so I will not change this decision, can you accept this?" Tong Lu stared at Andre's eyes seriously, she felt that Andre should not be able to accept it, he has always been a smart person, smart people generally don't do stupid things, like this kind of thing that is not good for himself, but follows the scolding together, he should choose to refuse.
Andre didn't hesitate and replied directly, "To be honest, I have seen all the leading actors you arranged, and I have also paid attention to them in private, and found out their previous works to watch, observe their acting skills, the Li Lan you said I think the acting skills are not bad, as long as you guide them, there should be no problem." ”
In his eyes, as long as the acting skills are okay, it is basically not a big deal.
"But she doesn't have a good reputation."
"Rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who only sees immediate benefits. On the contrary, I am very good at this drama, so I really want to participate in the production. Andrei said very sincerely.
"Aren't you afraid that you will be implicated?" Tong Lu thought to herself, how Andre had changed his personality, he used to hate Asians. Li Lan is Asian, and Andre can accept it.
"I don't care, I'm interested in the play, so I'm willing to make some sacrifices and don't care what people out there say. And my fans are all foreigners, they don't know much about Li Lan, and they don't know about her, if I join the production, foreign fans will know about it, and they will go to cheer because of me, so that your drama will be more popular. Andre smiled, "Actually, no matter who plays the role, it doesn't have much impact on me, I only value her strength." ”
Tong Lu was a little surprised, she didn't expect Andre to think of everything, so she had no reason to refuse. Although Andrei's previous character was not very good, he was a very talented person.
Tong Lu plans to give each other a chance, also so that this drama can be known by more people.
"Okay, I promise you." Tong Lu said softly.
Andre was a little surprised, he didn't expect to convince Tong Lu so easily, he thought that Tong Lu would reject him directly as before, making him very shameless.
I don't know if he has been rejected by Tong Lu too many times, he has become accustomed to it.
"That's great, I have time today, and we can discuss the script." Andrei looked a little excited, he hurriedly took out a few pages from his bag, "Here are some of my notes, which record some of my thoughts, you can look at ......"
Tong Lu looked through the past carefully and found that many of Andre's ideas were very interesting, the same as what she thought, but because of her lack of experience, she didn't know how to express it, but Andre was an old director, so he quickly helped her express it.
"Not bad." Tong Lu praised.
The two discussed together all afternoon, and it was only when it was time to leave work that Andrei offered to leave.
"Tong Lu, I'm very happy today." Andrei packed his bags and prepared to leave.
