At 10 a.m. on September 28, 2001, in a billiards hall in Haiding District, Yanjing, a beautiful woman was playing with her hands and poles.

Her posture is very standard, her hand holding the pole is very steady, and she knows that she often plays billiards at a glance.

Not far behind this woman, there were several young people, the first of whom was tall and handsome, very dazzling, and this person was Li Shengyao.

He came here this time to visit an actress he likes very much-Yan Bingyan.

Sister Yan is from Yanjing, she went out for a trip a few days ago, and she only came back yesterday.

Li Shengyao got the news and led people here.

She is not very beautiful, among the post-70s actresses, there is no comparison with Jiang Qinqin, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Xiaolan, but among ordinary people, she is still a beautiful person.

At this time, many people around were staring at Yan Bingyan, and some second-rate people still whistled from time to time.

She probably got used to it a long time ago, and she didn't care, and she played billiards with two girls by herself.

"Director, do you want me to identify myself?"

"Forget it, let's go out and wait."

Many people in the billiards hall smoke, and Li Shengyao didn't like the smell here.

He then led the men away.

An hour later, Yan Bingyan and her two female companions came out, and Li Shengyao and a few others stepped forward, and then identified themselves.

"Miss Yan, there is a teahouse in front, let's have a cup of tea together?"

Yan Bingyan was a little surprised, she had naturally heard of Li Shengyao's name, but she didn't expect Li Shengyao to come to the door in person, and waited for her for an hour.

"Okay, I'm familiar with the teahouse, I'll take you there."

After a while, the two parties sat down to exchange a few words, and Li Shengyao then expressed his intention.

"Playing a cop?"

When Yan Bingyan heard this, her eyes were full of shock.

She just received a phone invitation from another crew a few days ago, it is also a criminal investigation drama, this drama is called "Extraordinary Case", the male protagonist is Liu Yunlong, the female protagonist is Da Taohong, it is said that Chen Baokueh will make a cameo.

The role that the crew is going to give Yan Bingyan can be regarded as the female number four.

She was traveling at the time, so she said that when she returned to Yanjing, she would go there to negotiate in person.

I didn't expect that there is another criminal investigation drama now, and this time it is still the female number one.

It turned out to be upgraded.

Yan Bingyan's acting skills are good, but the audience popularity can only be said to be average, she has not been a heroine in the past two years since she starred in "The Past of Red Face" in 99.

In the first half of this year, she played a female No. 5, and the drama was called "You Must Be".

This coffee is slowly descending.

Of course, although she is no longer the leading actor, she is the one who has won the award, and the salary is good, even if she is the female No. 5, the salary of a drama is lower than the salary of ordinary Yanjing people for two or three years.

She doesn't need to worry about life, and she has no plans to get married, and now acting is more casual.

Although she is less than thirty years old, she no longer expects to be popular, but she doesn't have that qualification.

Interested dramas will be accepted, not much interested, but dramas with a lot of money will also be accepted.

"Yes, playing a policeman, are you interested?"

Since Yan Bingyan's debut, she has played a policeman in two TV series, a movie, and a soldier in a TV series.

Lee is not sure if she wants to play a police officer now.

"I want to read the script?"

"No problem."

Li Shengyao then took out the synopsis of the story of "Signal" and handed it to Yan Bingyan.

"This is the general synopsis of the story, the introduction of the heroine's personality"

"Connecting across time and space, this setting is quite novel."

Yan Bingyan quickly finished reading the synopsis of the story of "Signal".

Lee Shengyao then handed over some of the heroine's scripts.

Yan Bingyan took it and looked at it, she read it quickly, and the sound of flipping through the book was loud.

"Director Li, take the liberty of asking, why did you choose me?"

"You have a good appearance, you have acting skills, and you have experience."

The most taboo thing in criminal investigation dramas is to announce the guest to take the lead, whether it is the male protagonist or the female protagonist, it should not be too beautiful, it is almost enough.

The most important thing is that the male and female protagonists have a character temperament, which is convincing.

It's like Fan Cake acting in "Sky Hunting", so beautiful, all shots are beautiful, where is the temperament of a soldier.

Such an actor is very dramatic.

The appearance is passable, and the acting skills are the best.

Criminal investigation dramas more than ten years later, there are often two male protagonists set up, and then the producer will market what CP sense.

Li Shengyao didn't understand what these people were crazy about, they had to do CP everything, and they were so embarrassed that they were home.

In his "Signal", the male and female protagonists don't have to be too handsome and beautiful, as long as they have acting skills.

When Yan Bingyan heard this, she was happy in her heart, "Director, thank you for your recognition, when will this drama be filmed?" ”

"Half a month at the earliest, a month at the latest."

"I like the setting of this plot very much, but ......"

Everything is fearful.

Li Shengyao kept smiling, Yan Bingyan couldn't, so he thought about other people.

"But I was invited by the crew of "Extraordinary Case" before, you wait, I'll explain it to them."

"Okay."

Yan Bingyan nodded, then took out her mobile phone in front of her and called the producer of "Extraordinary Case", saying that she has seen another book now and likes it very much, and "Extraordinary Case" will not be acted, she said that she will definitely go next time she is invited.

Yan Bingyan looks very free and easy, and has acting skills, but when facing the producer, her tone is very humble.

This is actually the normal posture of an actor.

is not an irreplaceable person, how can he be in front of the producer.

After a while, she hung up the phone, "Director Li, I can, I'm willing to play "Signal". ”

She just read a little bit of the script, and she is not very sure about the heroine's personality, but judging from the synopsis of the story, this criminal investigation drama has a very different setting, and the heroine has been involved in the case from beginning to end, and has not stayed out of the matter, not a vase, not a person who has a negative impact on the advancement of the plot.

Yan Bingyan is afraid that the kind of heroine who doesn't do anything and will drag her feet in the end.

The heroine of "Signal" should not be set like that.

Li Shengyao stood up happily and stretched out his hand, "Miss Yan, you will definitely not regret this choice." ”

An hour later, Fenghua Film and Television Company signed a contract with Yan Bingyan, Li Shengyao gave Yan Bingyan the complete script, and called Guo Xiaodong and Zhang Zhijian over, and the four of them had a meal together.

These three people are all people with higher actor attributes, and when they got together, they were a little embarrassed at first, but soon there was a feeling of seeing each other late, and after a meal, the three of them chatted very well.

Li Shengyao had been sitting and listening, rarely speaking, but he was in a very good mood.

He is very satisfied with the three leading actors he found, these three people Yan Bingyan has the highest talent, Zhang Zhijian is the second, and Guo Xiaodong is the weakest, but they can all be said to be acting skills.

Acting is to act honestly, and there is nothing superfluous.

Such an actor doesn't need the director to worry about much.

Next, when the script is approved, you can arrange for someone to go to Shanghai to prepare in advance.
