"Let me introduce you."

"We present the youngest director among the five directors of the drama this year, Xu Ji."

Yu Shengyu said.

The actors seated in the conference room applauded, but judging by the expressions on their faces, it could be judged that the crowd was not enthusiastic.

Xu Ji expected this.

Duan Shengyu had already reminded him before he came that these people had a bad temper.

Xu Ji saw a lot of familiar faces, and he was quite excited.

These actors who can still stay on the official side are basically over thirty or forty years old.

has been in the industry for so many years, and they are all proper old actors.

Not to mention that the official side does not accept young actors.

It's that many young actors are not like these people, who can withstand the temptation from the outside.

Official actors will definitely not spend money to support them like entertainment companies.

Neither the income nor their own fame are as good as those actors who go to the Big Three or other entertainment companies.

Therefore, many people will choose to leave the official and sign a contract with an outside entertainment company.

On the contrary, those who stayed were some seniors who really loved the profession of actors.

This group of people is a rare wealth for Xu Ji!

"Can you be positive?"

"Dead like something."

Duan Shengyu couldn't help but speak when he saw that the actors in the conference room had perfunctory expressions.

Many of these actors are actually a few years younger than Duan Shengyu, although they respect him very much, but at this time Chen Kang couldn't help complaining:

"Elder Duan, I'll tell you the truth on behalf of these old guys."

"We are not targeting Director Xu, and we also know that the tribute drama is an annual task."

"But the quality of this tribute drama has always been uneven......"

......

Chen Kang's words were actually a little restrained.

Although the tribute drama is an honor for the director, the ratings and online broadcasts of the network have not been high.

Even most of the scores are not high, maintaining a score of about six to seven is considered a normal level, and failing even happens every year.

It's not just that the audience often criticizes these tribute dramas for being fake and empty, and they are full of preaching.

Even the official actors are actually resistant to most tribute dramas.

If you look at it according to the standards of their plays, many of the tribute dramas they participated in actually did not meet the standards.

But after all, his identity is there, and the tribute drama is equivalent to the next task, and he can't refuse.

Of course, although there is no way to refuse, it is normal to not have much enthusiasm.

If Duan Shengyu was in the usual days, he would definitely start to appease Chen Kang and these actors.

But this time it was different.

Instead, he said:

"You guys look at the script first."

"Think about it carefully, there are a total of five tribute dramas this time, and there are still more choices for everyone."

......

Then Xu Ji took a stack of printed scripts and distributed a copy to each of the official actors on the scene.

Some of these people are in their thirties and have been actors for at least ten years.

And he has not pursued too much fame and fortune, but has concentrated on his own work as an actor.

Xu Ji has also watched a lot of these people's dramas, and his acting skills are definitely among the top actors in the industry.

He admired these people.

Chen Kang took the script handed over by Xu Ji.

As he said before, he didn't really have much of an opinion on Xu Ji himself.

The main problem is the subject matter restrictions related to the tribute drama and the theme that the director is good at, and there are too few good characters and scripts.

If he could, the choice of the five tribute dramas this time, his first choice was naturally Che Jianmu's crew.

The other party's qualifications and experience are there, and he is also an official director, and he has rich experience in the filming of tribute dramas.

No matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse.

followed by Huang Yi, Ke Na, and Xia Yunjie, although the tribute drama directed by the three of them this time has the risk of overturning, after all, they are all directors who have been in the industry for so many years.

At the very least, there won't be too many bad things to work with.

The only thing that made Chen Kang resist the most was the newcomer director of this tribute drama called Xu Ji.

It's not that he doesn't like young directors, on the contrary, he likes to work with some young directors.

But Xu Ji is different.

Xu Ji's limelight is a little too strong.

From last year's "The Best of Us" to this year's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I", both dramas have exploded.

Such an achievement, even if it is placed on some directors who have been in the industry for many years, is very remarkable.

What's more, it's a rookie director like Xu Ji.

Being young and vigorous is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.

If it is really cooperative, Chen Kang wants to concentrate on acting, and it will be very troublesome to conflict with such a young and vigorous director.

Especially Chen Kang will constantly put forward his own ideas when filming, and quarrel with the director from time to time.

Forget it, let's read the script first.

Chen Kang thought to himself.

.......

At this time, when the official actors were reading the script, Xu Ji also asked Duan Shengyu for the relevant information of these actors.

These official actors don't have to worry about their acting skills, but it is still necessary to choose actors who fit the role.

During this time, he had watched some of the roles that these people had played before, but because of the large number of people, Xu Ji couldn't understand too deeply in a short period of time.

The information he got from Duan Shengyu can be used as a reference for casting.

......

Time passed slowly, and the official actors sitting in the conference room were just going through the motions at the beginning, and slowly all of them were immersed in the script given by Xu Ji.

Except for the sound of the printed script turning pages, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

At first, Chen Kang just thought that this script called "Mountains and Seas" was not as boring as most of the previous tribute dramas.

Able to let him see it.

But slowly, he has completely walked into this story.

He reads the script all the time, and he was the first of all to read it.

After reading it, holding back the excitement in his heart, Chen Kang raised his head and looked around.

Then he stood up lightly and walked out of the conference room.

One after another, as these actors gradually finished reading the entire script, they also began to communicate.

It can be seen that most people have excited expressions on their faces at this time.

"This "Mountains and Seas" is really good! It's been years since I've come across such a good tribute script. ”

"I didn't expect a script on the theme of poverty alleviation to be able to write such a touching and wonderful story."

"This script is really good, I was moved to read it, and the role of Principal Bai is quite suitable for me to play."

Hearing someone say this, someone immediately retorted:

"!"

"Niu Junming, you look like a rough man, and your image doesn't match."

"Did you play well?"

"I think I'm a lot better suited than you."

The scene was a quarrel because of who was more suitable for which role.

But suddenly, I don't know who suddenly spoke.

"Where's Lao Chen?"

The others suddenly fell silent, and then looked around for Chen Kang's figure.

"it!"

"Xue Fengyuan and Lao Lin seem to be gone?"

The actors who were still in the conference room realized that something was wrong.

"Chen Kang, this bastard, sat next to me just now, and when I saw him go out, I thought he was going to the toilet!"

"As for it? Isn't it just a character......"

"Don't talk about martial arts!"

The middle-aged actor who spoke, I saw him scolding, but he didn't slow down at all when he got up and walked towards the outside of the conference room.
