The sky was covered with layers of clouds, and the wind from the north was blowing.

The yellow leaves that were originally hanging on the tree, barely holding on, fell down unwillingly, making a clattering sound.

There are a lot of osmanthus flowers planted in this area of Wangjing, but unfortunately the climate is not good, and there is no fragrance.

At a high-end Korean restaurant, Lee Shengyao and two assistants are eating barbecue.

At his side are two beautiful and tall waitresses, who are selecting high-quality beef for him.

Across from him sat a middle-aged man with glasses, a big pie face, and a suit.

Behind the middle-aged man, there were four young men.

The four guys all have yellow hair, air bangs, false eyelashes, contact lenses, and heavy makeup.

These four people are Sign, Lu Han, Taozi, and Zhang Yixing.

These boy groups of Hallyu are all very good-looking under the media lens of the peninsula, but when they come to the mainland, they don't seem to be very good.

But if you see a real person, you can't help but secretly sigh that these guys can indeed do.

Especially the sign, who is more than one meter eight tall, tall and thin, under the yellow hair, looks whiter, just like the vampire of "Twilight".

This guy just doesn't have a good mouth, and everything else is good.

Lu Han is also good-looking, his face is very small, and his eyes are really deer's eyes.

Taozi and Zhang Yixing are more ordinary, at first glance, it is the effect after applying makeup, if they are without makeup, they are not so amazing.

There are a lot of activities arranged by the stupid company for EXO, especially the Huaxia team, which often comes to the mainland for activities.

The four of them had just attended a commercial performance, and when they came back, they still smelled of sweat.

It is said that the members of the men's and women's groups on the peninsula lived a very miserable life, not only because of their heavy workload, but also because they ate very little in order to stay in shape.

Li Shengyao is eating now, and they are standing there watching.

The man with glasses sitting opposite him was named Jin Minhui, an executive of a stupid company who could speak Mandarin, and he accompanied Li Shengyao to eat barbecue at this time.

"Director Li, this is authentic Argentinian beef, very delicious, you can taste it."

It is said that the Korean cattle on the peninsula are very expensive, and the people of the peninsula are proud of eating the Korean cattle, but they are fooling themselves, and there is no grassland on the terrain of the peninsula, and the Korean cattle are delicious and a hammer.

The really delicious beef is still Argentine beef.

When Messi was in Spain, he often asked someone to transport beef from his hometown.

Messi's roast beef, the whole Barcelona team went over to cheer, and everyone who ate it said it was good.

Jin Minhui still has an idea, and knows that he can't use Han Niu to fool Li Shengyao.

When he heard the Argentine beef, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, then stretched his neck and looked deeply, he knew it was rude, but he couldn't help but peek.

Heaven and earth can be learned, he is a big man of more than 1.8 meters, and he can't eat enough every day.

If it weren't for his mom painting him the future all day long, he really wouldn't want to be on the peninsula.

His mother said that as long as he mixed in the peninsula for a few years, he could become a top star when he returned to China, and when the time came, he would change women every day and make a lot of money casually.

His cousin also patted his chest and promised that he would find him a woman every day in the future.

With such a sweet dream, he has persevered until now.

But I was really hungry and panicked, and just after finishing the business activities, I took a sip of water and rushed over.

At this moment, Jin Minhui seemed to feel the gaze of the sign and looked at it coldly.

Signage hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

In the peninsula, it is common for trainees to be beaten, and several of them have slapped people.

Although they have debuted now and are still very popular, they should not fight, but they are punished for not eating for a day, and such things often happen.

Sticks can sometimes be worried.

If he doesn't eat like this, will it hurt his kidneys, and he still wants to show his strength in the future? I don't want to have money, but I can only do it in two minutes.

Jin Minhui then withdrew his gaze, and the sign breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's meeting is very important to him.

Jin Minhui said that Li Shengyao is preparing a new movie, in which there is a role of the second male lead, who is the nephew of the male lead, this role is very important, and the company wants to fight for the sign.

Thinking of this, Skewer suppressed the desire for food in his heart and no longer looked at the barbecue on the table.

"Director Li, thank you for giving us this opportunity, this time I came to you, mainly to introduce you to the four outstanding young artists of our company, I don't know if you recognize them?"

"I know them, they're all great people."

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded.

In the years when Han Terrier Luhan and they had just returned to China, the draft of the mainland men's and women's teams had not yet risen.

The big guys look at the men's and women's groups on the peninsula with disdain, and feel that singing and dancing is not difficult, but it is just a betrayal of hue.

It wasn't until a few years later that the mainland began to hold men's and women's group selection programs, and the audience knew that they had misunderstood Lu Han and them.

Han Terrier, Lu Han, and these people are simply the ceiling of the strength of the men's group, just one person, in the talent show a few years later, can kill everyone else in seconds.

Lu Han has been practicing for almost four years, plus they have excellent talent, they were selected from thousands of teenagers by the stupid company, and they are indeed not comparable to those money cheaters who have practiced for several months.

As for the TF boy of internal entertainment, the boy of the times, it is even more disgusting, directly harvesting mother powder, in addition to pretending to be cute, he has studied for several years, and his business ability is rotten to death.

What's even more annoying is that he scored more than 200 points in the college entrance examination, and he still does it to be a student bully.

One of Li Shengyao's girlfriends in his previous life liked Lu Han very much, and he experienced the process of hating Lu Han and appreciating Lu Han.

To be fair, these four people's business ability as idols is really good.

Especially Lu Han, this guy can sing, dance and act.

Of course, Lu Han's acting has limitations, he can't play big shots, he can't play heroes, he is suitable for playing some ordinary roles.

is like the teenager in "Silent Witness", and the decadent man in "Crossfire".

It's not that Lu Han's acting skills are good, among the post-90s generation of actors, actors with good acting skills are really hard to find.

Lu Han plays Diao Si and plays an ordinary teenager, at least it is natural and smooth.

Like Yang Yang, like a sign, or Taozi, they can't make expressions without embarrassment, and they are speechless.

Jin Minhui was very happy when he heard Li Shengyao's words, and then said: "Director Li, I heard that you are looking for young actors for your new movie, do you think they can do it?" ”

Lee Shengyao is preparing three movies at the same time, and the roles he needs have already been released.

Recently, many people have contacted Li Shengyao, hoping to stuff people, but he has not agreed yet.

The main thing is that I didn't find the one I wanted.

Needless to say, "La La Land" has very high requirements for the male and female protagonists, and it is difficult for ordinary people to be competent, and Li Shengyao is worried about this matter.

Many agents, production companies, and film and television companies have recommended star artists, but Li Shengyao feels that it is not suitable.

The two films, "Three Billboards" and "Dalian by the Sea", have young characters.

The young character of "Three Billboards" is the son of the heroine, this role does not appear much, there is no specific and in-depth depiction, the character is simple, it is the son of the heroine, it is required to be about twenty years old, and acting is natural.

The young character of "Dalian by the Sea" is the male protagonist's own nephew, that is, the second male lead in this movie.

This role requires more, it must be handsome, and it must be able to play a good sport, be a member of the school team, act naturally, and have a sense of youth.

Because the setting in the movie is sixteen or seventeen years old.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he raised his eyes and looked over, and then smiled, "Mr. Jin, which one do you want to recommend?" ”

"Sign...... Director Li, what do you think of him? ”

Lu Han signed the four of them, in terms of external conditions, they are naturally the best signs.

In fact, after these four people returned to China, the sign was also the most popular, and the Beijing circle has been taking him with him.

It's a pity that the sign is also the least talented, and the talent here refers to acting talent.

Lu Han should be the most talented actor among the four.

Then came Zhang Yixing, Taozi, and finally the sign.

He can't play a moving role, he can only play a vegetative person.

He should only have Cirthiness in his mind, and he has never seriously observed other people, from his body, to his lines, to his micro-expressions, none of them are passing, and it is difficult to do it to his level.

After all, the Peninsula Men's Group not only has to learn to sing and dance, but also has acting classes.

It's really unimaginable that a person who has studied acting classes for several years can be as stiff as a stick.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he glanced at the tall and thin, beautiful man-like skewer, picked up a piece of beef, and didn't say anything.

Jin Minhui continued: "Director Li, we know that you have a lot of choices and don't care about our conditions, but we still want to show you our sincerity.

If you can use a sign, we don't want to be paid, let him star for free.

And we're going to mobilize a huge fan base and get them to promote the movie.

In addition, our company will also give him time to study the role carefully and shoot the movie wholeheartedly, which will definitely not delay your movie. ”

To be honest, although there are many fans like Sign, he has no status in the film industry, and he plays a big director's play, and the salary will not be high, at most two or three million.

As for fan publicity, it's useless, Lu Han signed their peak, and they couldn't support the box office of a movie.

Weibo once disclosed relevant data, don't look at the sign Luhan They posted a Weibo, hundreds of thousands of likes and forwards, I really thought they had millions of fans.

Actually, there really isn't.

The fans who really pay attention all the time and are willing to spend money do not exceed 200,000.

But the fan circle is awesome, and 200,000 fans can create the popularity of millions of live fans.

As for a star like Xie Na who has 100 million Weibo stars, I don't know if there are 10,000 live fans, it's very empty.

There are only 200,000 true fans at the top level, even if everyone buys five movie tickets, it is only 30 or 40 million at the box office, so they can't hold it up.

The person who can really resist the box office must be a star with an excellent reputation among passers-by.

For example, later Wu Jing, Shen Teng, and Xu Zheng.

Among them, Wu Jing and Xu Zheng were both TV drama celebrities in the early years, and the TV series they acted in had very high ratings and a high degree of national popularity, which is incomparable to top stars.

Of the three points Jin Minhui said, the most important thing is to give enough time to study the script and let him make a movie wholeheartedly.

You must know that now they are popular, and half a year of making a movie is enough to make tens of millions of dollars for the company, and making a movie for Li Shengyao is zero pay.

After Jin Minhui finished speaking, he looked at Li Shengyao expectantly and worriedly.

In the peninsula, idol circles and Zhongwu Road are two worlds, even if the stupid company is strong in the peninsula entertainment industry, but the people of Zhongwu Road will not care about stupid Mao at all.

If the stupid company recommends idols to the big directors of the peninsula, it will definitely scold people to death.

The bigwigs of Zhongmuro want face.

Lee Shengyao is now more awesome than the big directors of the entire peninsula.

Jin Minhui was a little afraid that Li Shengyao would be angry, after all, Director Li's power position was there.

The whole private room was a little quieter, not only the few people who signed Zi Lu Han held their breath, but the two service girls were a little slower.

The charcoal fire under the barbecue grill crackled and made a tiny sound.

The beef still has a fragrant aroma.

Li Shengyao felt that the atmosphere of the scene was different, and he smiled, "Mr. Jin, Zhongwu Road doesn't need them, why do you think I will use them?" ”

"This ......"

The stupid company looked for Li Shengyao this time, hoping that the sign would act in Li Shengyao's new movie, just to give the sign a boost to them.

After all, in the eyes of many Chinese audiences, this group of men's group members, singing and dancing on the stage, betraying their hue, is a very low behavior.

And acting in Lee Shengyao's movie can greatly reverse this impression.

The group of filmmakers in Chungmuro are arrogant and arrogant, and they have a down-to-head attitude towards other people in Korean entertainment.

Kim Minhui wasn't sure if that would happen to Mr. Lee.

At this time, when he heard Li Shengyao's words, he felt that his beating heart was a few beats slower, his body stiffened, and he wanted to squeeze out a smile and explain a few words, but he found that he couldn't speak.

He could only look at Li Shengyao stupidly.

The few people in Luhan were also frightened, motionless, peeking at the beef before the sign, and they didn't dare to raise their eyes at this time.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Mr. Jin, I'm not one of the people in Zhongwulu, I'm not so stubborn, don't worry, I won't look down on idols, I choose actors, just to see if they meet my requirements and whether they can meet my requirements." ”

When Jin Minhui heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the air flowed into his lungs again, and his body came to life, he hurriedly said: "Director Li, if you use a sign, then in the future, the four of them will be in Huaxia's variety shows, and all the film and television contracts will be handed over to Fenghua, and we will be stupid and Fenghua."

In addition, if Fenghua has good seedlings, you can hand it over to us to cultivate, whether you make your debut on the peninsula or return to work in Huaxia in the future, it's all up to you.

Please be assured that we are absolutely respectful and eager to cooperate with you and receive your teachings. ”

The stupid big boss Li Xiuman is indeed a sincere person, he has always been very fond of the mainland market and is very good to mainland artists.

And relatively speaking, the company respects some traditions of China.

Li Shengyao had previously considered whether to cut off these people and use them to make money, but now he has no such idea.

He has enough money, and he doesn't care about signing their tens or two billion.

What's more, the signing of a few of them is not very good at business, and he has always asked the company's movies and TV series to keep improving.

It's not easy to arrange work with these people.

It's to help Fenghua cultivate the seedlings of the men's group, which is somewhat useful, maybe you will use it in the future.

Li Shengyao thought for a while, then put down his chopsticks, glanced at the stick, and shook his head, "He's not very good, the performance is too stiff." ”

When Jin Minhui heard this, he looked at Li Shengyao in shock.

The company does have an acting class, and every member has an evaluation, and the teacher of the acting class also thinks that the sign is too stiff.

But the sign has not acted in a movie or TV series, how did Li Shengyao know about it?

Could it be that Lee Shengyao is stupid and has eyeliner?

Li Shengyao then said: "Lu Han can, let him come." ”

The moment he saw Lu Han today, he chose Lu Han.

The second male lead in "Dalian by the Sea", that is, the nephew of the male protagonist, requires sixteen or seventeen years old, handsome, athletic master, and juvenile.

It's not easy to find.

If you choose 9596, young people who happen to be sixteen or seventeen years old at this time, such as Xu Kai, Zhang Xincheng, Bai Jingting, Guo Qilin, most of these people have not received acting learning.

Especially since they don't have any sports that can match the varsity level.

Lu Han is twenty-one years old this year, but he is young and has a sense of youth.

And he has played football since he was a child, and with his football level, he can enter the high school varsity team.

This character doesn't have any complicated emotions, Lu Han should be able to play such an ordinary character, and his acting is still relatively natural.

Li Shengyao was selected in the company before, and among the mainland actors, he didn't find a suitable one.

It's like Yang Yang and Li Xian, as big as Lu Han.

However, Yang Yang always acts with him, and Li Xian's words have no sense of youth.

In addition, in "Dalian by the Sea", the actor and his nephew walk together, it is best to be about the same height, and Lu Han is better to play the role.

Li Xian is taller and stronger, unlike high school students, if you want to suppress him, the actor has to find a tall one, and it is difficult to find someone.

Receiving a call from Jin Minhui today, Li Shengyao vaguely guessed Jin Minhui's thoughts at that time, so he planned to take a look at Lu Han, he felt very good at this time, Lu Han has been standing quietly, and he is a person who can endure it.

Jin Minhui didn't expect Li Shengyao to refuse the sign, and he took a fancy to Lu Han, but if he could take a fancy to EXO members, that would be fine.

He raised his wine glass excitedly, and then turned his body sideways, "Director Li, I respect you." ”

He then drank it all and continued: "Don't worry, we know your request, and we will definitely leave him enough time for him to prepare wholeheartedly and shoot your movie."

Lu Han, come over and toast Director Li. ”

Lu Han was also very happy, he didn't expect Li Shengyao to choose himself, he then bowed deeply, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Okay, work hard, don't let me down." ”

The role of Lu Han is not demanding, the performance is natural, and the main attraction of "Dalian by the Sea" is the male protagonist.

This role is important, and it needs to be carefully considered by Lee Shengyao.
