Li Chuan was a little depressed.

In fact, he also knew that what he said was not in line with his usual driving style, and it was indeed easy to arouse suspicion when he said it bluntly.

However, he has already promised Zhou Mengxue, and now he must persevere to the end, and he can't give up halfway.

He thought for a moment, and then explained again: "Zhou Mengxue is not already popular now, there are millions of fans on Douyin, and there is a special fan support club...... To this extent, she is no longer the small role that she used to play at will.

Yesterday, when I communicated with her, she told me that she had recently received some job offers in online dramas, which means that she has the opportunity to set foot in the film and television industry.

I can hear that she wants to seize this opportunity and enter the film and television industry.

I was thinking, what would she do if I didn't agree?

I'm not afraid of her making trouble, after all, she is the company's full-time artist, no matter how much trouble she can make, I have a way to treat her, but it's useless to treat her alone, and her fans can't control it.

If her fans know, we will restrict her development and not allow her to enter the film and television industry...... When this news spreads, it must be a thunderstorm.

Once the fans thunder, the consequences can be serious...... I say that, you get the idea, right? ”

"Uh, understood."

Yu Jie's face was a little embarrassed.

He had no doubts about Li Chuan's statement, because Li Chuan's statement was reasonable and in line with Li Chuan's consistent style of acting.

In his eyes, Li Chuan is such a person, thoughtful, knows how to advance and retreat, gives priority to interests in everything, is relatively flexible in principles and bottom lines, is unwilling to take high risks for some small things, and has a strong atmosphere of social elites or capitalists.

The reason why he felt embarrassed was because Zhou Mengxue's fan support club was established by him.

In his opinion, if Zhou Mengxue's fans make trouble, then the fan support club must be the base camp...... If there is no fan support club, Li Chuan will most likely not worry about this problem.

The fan support club he helped Zhou Mengxue establish has now become a problem for Li Chuan, which is why he feels embarrassed.

"That...... I hadn't thought of this before, I ......"

"It's fine."

Li Chuan knew what Yu Jie wanted to say, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Didn't I tell you just now, I don't object to her being a professional actor...... I understand Zhou Mengxue's temper and personality, she just wants to be an actress, she doesn't want to do anything else, if she is forced to do live broadcast and e-commerce, it may be more uncomfortable than killing her.

In this case, it is better to let her be a professional actor. Professional actors can also earn a lot of money if they do a good job.

Moreover, didn't you say before that she has the talent to be a professional actress, and the conditions are also very good...... I've seen that, too.

I think you're right, she does have talent and conditions, and she is very suitable for taking the path of a professional actor.

Since she is suitable, let her go down this road, maybe she can really make some fame.

If she can make some fame, she can be regarded as helping the company expand its business, which is not a small credit. ”

"Oh~."

Yu Jie was stunned.

At this moment, he felt that he had completely understood Li Chuan's thoughts, and his mind gradually settled down.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Chuan's mouth couldn't help but set off a trace of arc.

It seems that my ability to make up nonsense has improved. ’

Li Chuan muttered in his heart, but his face always remained calm.

"I see what you mean."

Yu Jie pondered for a moment and said: "Since this is the case, then let Zhou Mengxue be a professional actor, the heroine of "Uncle and Little Sister" and "Night Hotel", I will play it again." ”

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded, and asked again: "Do you know "The Hidden Corner"? ”

"The Hidden Corner?"

"You don't know?"

"I don't know."

"Didn't Zhou Mengxue tell you?"

"Nope."

Yu Jie shook his head and said, "I've been busy putting the finishing touches on "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" recently, and I don't have time to talk to her. ”

"Oh, "The Hidden Corner" is a web drama, and I sent a role invitation to Zhou Mengxue before."

"She wants to act?"

"Well, "The Hidden Corner" is an adapted web drama, I have read the original book, it is very good, it has been adapted into a script, and the effect is also very good, Zhou Mengxue likes it very much and wants to participate in this drama."

"Then act, I have no opinion."

"I know you're okay, but there's a problem."

"What's the problem?" Yu Jie raised his eyebrows.

"The invitation sent to Zhou Mengxue by the crew of "The Hidden Corner" is a small role called 'Xu Jing', there are not many scenes, and there are no characteristics, she plays it, but it doesn't play much role, she wants to play another role...... There is a character named 'Wang Yao' in the play, which is very good, there are enough scenes, and she can also show her acting skills, she wants this role. ”

"Is that what she told you?" Yu Jie was a little surprised.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"She told you this because she wanted you to help her change roles?"

"Hmm."

"When did she become so bold?"

Yu Jie said incredulously: "She just had some achievements, and she floated?" ”

"No, you're mistaken."

Li Chuan hurriedly explained: "I took the initiative to ask her, and it has nothing to do with her." ”

"Oh, that's fine."

Yu Jie's face softened slightly: "I thought she would float away so soon." ”

"It's not floating."

Li Chuan waved his hand and explained again: "She is in good shape, there is no change, I asked her to answer before, and I took the initiative to agree to change roles...... After all, she is the company's artist, although she is not the company's main business, but if she can help, she must help. ”

"I understand."

Yu Jie nodded, and asked again, "Did you help her ask?" ”

"No, she just told me yesterday that I was busy for another day today, and I haven't had time to help her ask, and, as you know, I don't have much contact with the film and television industry, I don't know a lot of things, and many people don't know each other, so it's very troublesome to do things...... You're different, you're from this major, and you've been in this circle before, so you should have some way, right? ”

When Yu Jie heard this, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is that online drama called?" ”

"The Hidden Corner."

"The Hidden Corner...... I haven't heard of it, which company does it? ”

"It seems to be called...... 10,000 years of film and television. ”

"Oh~."

"You know?"

"I've heard that a company that was just established a few years ago is good at suspense themes and has produced several good online dramas."

"Do you know anyone from their company?"

"I don't know."

Yu Jie shook his head: "I've just heard of it, but I haven't touched it." ”

"Tsk."

Li Chuan frowned, and asked again: "What about iQiyi?" ”

"iQiyi?"

Yu Jie was stunned and asked, "Is "The Hidden Corner" produced by iQiyi?" ”

"I don't know, Zhou Mengxue told me that it was from iQiyi...... What is it called, you know? ”

"I understand."

Yu Jie nodded and said, "If it is an account-sharing drama, it can be regarded as produced by iQiyi, and there is a high probability that it will be broadcast exclusively on iQiyi in the future." ”

"iQiyi, can you talk to the crew?"

"Definitely can, iQiyi is the boss, and it must be easy to speak."

"Oh, do you know anyone from iQiyi?"

"I know a small producer, but I don't know if he did 'The Hidden Corner'."

"You contact first, if it's not him, let him recommend you someone to handle it...... As long as we find someone, we have a way. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Follow the normal process first, and if the normal path doesn't work, spend money to solve it."

"Ugh."

Yu Jie was stunned for a while.

From Li Chuan's flat tone, he once again realized what it means to be "rich and capricious".

A person like Li Chuan, who doesn't understand anything, can do anything wrong in the film and television industry just because he has money.

This kind of thing, from the perspective of a film and television practitioner, he feels a little sad.

However, he couldn't help it.

The ecology of the film and television industry is like this, anyone with money can come in and play, it doesn't matter whether they are professional or not, money is king.

Some people may think that this is a disease, but this disease cannot be cured.

The degree of industrialization of the domestic film and television industry is not high, and the current situation of the industry is high input and low output, and the economic benefits are not good.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for an industry with poor economic efficiency to attract idle funds in society, but the film and television industry is relatively special.

The film and television industry has high exposure and high entertainment, which makes many people willing to participate even if they don't make money.

The influx of these "simple-minded" funds has led to a false prosperity in the domestic film and television industry.

The "false prosperity" here is from the perspective of traditional economics, and the specific manifestation is that outsiders think that the film and television industry is very profitable, but in fact, it is not so profitable at all...... To put it bluntly, the bubble is very large.

If the film and television industry refuses the influx of external funds, the bubble of the entire industry will be punctured in an instant, and at that time, the film and television industry will plummet, and the status of film and television stars will not be guaranteed, and eventually they may even be reduced to ordinary workers.

These bubbles will only be eliminated when the domestic film and television industry is highly industrialized enough to be self-financed, does not need external capital intervention, and can produce great economic benefits on its own.

At that time, the film and television industry will usher in real prosperity, and relevant practitioners will also protect their own value and status.

All this, the domestic film and television industry is currently unable to do.

Of course, there are very few people who can really do it, and the whole world seems to be just one Hollywood, and nothing else.

Yu Jie doesn't know much about these phenomena, but he has been in the industry for several years and roughly understands some of them.

Therefore, in the face of those "simple-minded" funds, he will never say anything.

"I'll call tomorrow."

Yu Jie pondered for a moment and said, "I asked him for a phone call, it should be no problem, but ...... If you want to follow the normal process, Zhou Mengxue needs to prepare in advance. ”

"Prepare what?"

"Some material, and auditions."

"What material?"

"The main thing is to hand in photos, previous plays, and clips of acting, which is similar to a resume."

"Oh, this is easy, you arrange an operation and cut out the fragment of Zhou Mengxue's "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary"...... So, it shouldn't be a big problem, right? ”

"It's not big, Zhou Mengxue's performance in "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" is quite good, it should be no problem."

"Well, don't be too confident, try to cut it as exciting."

"I understand, I'll arrange it in a moment."

"Is it troublesome to audition?"

"I don't know, I'll have to wait until I ask."

"Okay, you do it first, and when there's news, report to me immediately."

"Okay."

“……”

……

The change of roles went unexpectedly smoothly.

After Yu Jie received Li Chuan's task, as soon as he went to work the next day, he contacted the little producer of iQiyi.

After some communication, he learned that the project "Hidden Corner" was in charge of Dai Ying, senior vice president of iQiyi.

Dai Ying went into battle in person, which shows that the level of the project "The Hidden Corner" is not low.

After learning the news, Yu Jie was a little disappointed.

Because according to his work experience, in high-level online dramas, each role is a fixed pit, and it is very difficult to squeeze out others and replace them.

As it turned out, though, he guessed wrong.

When he asked for Dai Ying's phone and tried to communicate with Dai Ying, Dai Ying showed great interest.

He sent the clip of Zhou Mengxue's clip in "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary", and after Dai Ying read it, she directly said, "Yes, I think it's very suitable!" ”

This sentence directly stunned him.

He just sent some clips, but he didn't let Zhou Mengxue audition, and he didn't even introduce the information, Dai Ying actually agreed directly.

It was a bit of an exaggeration, and he couldn't understand it at all.

He thought about it for a long time but didn't figure it out, and in the end, he even wondered if he had met a liar.

Of course, he didn't meet a liar, Dai Ying's identity is true, and what he said is also true.

There are two main reasons why Dai Ying agreed so happily.

First, because she thinks Zhou Mengxue is really suitable.

Dai Ying has watched "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary", and she is chasing it every day.

Because she has seen a lot, she has a deep impression of Zhou Mengxue.

The reason why the crew of "The Hidden Corner" issued a role invitation to Zhou Mengxue was because of her instructions.

Why is the invited character Xu Jing, not Wang Yao?

Because she feels that the role of Wang Yao is more difficult to play, she needs an actress with acting skills.

At that time, "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" was also broadcast to Zhou Yuan's final blackening and outbreak.

She hadn't really seen Zhou Mengxue's acting skills, so she instinctively felt that Zhou Mengxue was not suitable.

However, when Yu Jie arranged the editing, he asked the operation to cut some unbroadcast clips in "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary", including Zhou Yuan's final blackening and outburst.

Dai Ying's opinion is similar to Li Chuan, after watching Zhou Yuan's final blackening and outburst, she instantly dispelled her doubts about Zhou Mengxue's acting skills, and she looked at these clips and felt that she was particularly compatible with Wang Yao's role.

This is one of them.

The second is because she doesn't like the actress who played Wang Yao.

It turned out that the actress who played Wang Yao had problems before, it seemed that it was because she was playing a big name, scolding the director or something, and everyone in the circle knew it, and the general crew was afraid of getting into trouble, so they didn't dare to cooperate with her.

The crew of "The Hidden Corner" chose her mainly because of her good acting skills and cheap price.

Wang Yao needs an actress with acting skills to play, and the actress with good acting skills and suitable conditions is very expensive, and they have no choice, so they chose her.

If there is a more suitable candidate, they will definitely be willing to change one.

Zhou Mengxue happens to be the more suitable one.

Zhou Mengxue not only has acting skills and a high degree of role fit, but also the price is cheaper, only a basic salary of 20,000 yuan.

Of course, Dai Ying would not miss such a suitable actress, so after watching it, she agreed without saying a word.

That's how it all went.
