Chapter 65 ‘Girlfriend’ Episode 1
"Mr. Fang, what do you think of Wang Ou? Let her play the role of Fan Shengmei."
Andy closed the script and said with a smile, sighing once again at the boss's talent.
"Ode to Joy" uses a high-end apartment building to bring out five women with different personalities and highlight their status.
After only reading the scripts of the first five episodes, Andy concluded that this was definitely a hit drama.
Since it is a hit drama, we naturally have to closely follow Hengyu's artists to choose it. The number one heroine is Zeng Li, who is her best friend Lin Feifei.
The role of the good girl Guan Ju'er was chosen by Song Yi. She is Hengyu's first female artist, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Andy thought of Wang Ou and felt that her temperament was very suitable for the role of Fan Shengmei.
"Fan Shengmei still has to find an artist with excellent acting skills. Give Qu Xiaoxiao to Wang Ou. She is more suitable for playing such a bitch role." Fang Ziheng shook his head and changed his role.
Wang Ou has good looks, fair skin, and a much better figure than Wang Ziwen. As long as he dresses up a little, he will match Qu Xiaoxiao in the drama.
Qu Xiaoxiao has an eccentric personality. On the surface, she likes to have tea, and enjoys hooking up and trampling on men.
Just by looking at Wang Ou's appearance, he can play the role of Qu Xiaoxiao well.
When it comes to Fan Shengmei, you can't just look for someone randomly, you have to find a female artist with good looks and acting skills.
Jiang Xin's performance in the original drama was outstanding, and she was even nominated for the Magnolia Best Actress at the 2017 Shanghai TV Festival for her role as Fan Shengmei.
However, Jiang Xin is only 26 years old this year, and Fan Shengmei's age in the drama is fully 35 or 36 years old.
There is nearly a ten-year age difference between the two, and Fang Ziheng is not sure whether the current Jiang Xin can play this role well.
After thinking for a while, he decided to give it a try and said to the two directors of the film and television production department: "When you are casting the role of Fan Shengmei, you can send an audition invitation to Jiang Xin."
"Jiang Xin?"
"Yes, she played Mu Wanqing in the new version of Tian Long Ba Bu."
"Other roles will be auditioned jointly by director Fumino and your department. The first drama of "Ode to Joy" cost 30 million to produce."
"Okay, Mr. Fang."
In the film and television production department, director Zheng Xue and deputy director Li Xiaoshu were overjoyed that the company's project finally came to their department.
Previously, Hengyu was in control of two movies, and without their participation in the film and television production department, they were not needed for the two TV series they participated in. Lin Feifei's production department could only send someone to supervise them.
Finally, the company was about to launch a costume TV series "Young Bao Zheng", but Fang Ziheng postponed the project to next year.
As a result, their film and television production department has become free of charge and has to do everything this year.
How can this be done? Other departments are saying behind their backs that they are a women's army and should provide support and logistics behind them.
Now that everything is fine, Mr. Fang took out another notebook and named the film and television production department to be the main controller. This was definitely a sign of trust in them.
The eyes of the two female generals shone brightly and they were beaming with joy. Even though Andy was in charge, this was their first shot at entering Hengyu Media.
The two of them secretly determined that they must fight this tough battle and never let the company's bosses look down upon them.
After chatting for a few more words, Fang Ziheng waved the three of them away. He took out his mobile phone and made a call with a smile.
"Hey, Mimi."
"What are you feeding! Who are you?"
As soon as the call was connected, Yang Xiaomi's words came out with a gun and a stick, which made people know that she was very angry and in a hurry.
"I just came back from southern Thailand. I only have three days left. I have to fly back on the 25th."
Fang Ziheng did not comfort the young lady, but directly informed her of his itinerary.
"Tsk, what does it have to do with me?"
Yang Xiaomi was still erect, but her tone softened: "Where are you now? Have you eaten?"
"I just finished working at the company and I'm so hungry that I haven't eaten in the morning."
"Come here quickly, my two friends and I are ordering food."
"Friend, who is it?"
"Oh, I want you to take care of it, will you come or not?"
With that said, the young lady reported an address and hung up the phone.
Fang Ziheng shook his head and laughed, changed into casual clothes and went downstairs with his car keys.
The young lady is good at everything, but she likes to be tough-talking and make trouble.
The two haven't seen each other for almost three months, and they don't talk much on the phone. Yang Xiaomi was filming in Hengdian before, so she didn't have time to express her love.
After she finally finished filming, Fang Ziheng flew to the south of Thailand again. The distance was further away and there was no time to get together.
In the past few days, Yang Xiaomi was still thinking about whether she should fly to southern Tainan in person and take the initiative to visit Fang Ziheng.
It's okay now, the man is back, and the young lady doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
In a small high-end restaurant in the imperial capital, Yang Xiaomi put away her phone, smiled, waved to the waiter, and added several large dishes in one go.
Opposite the dining table, there is a man and a woman sitting. The man is handsome and sunny, while the woman is quiet, beautiful and pure.
The man let out a soft groan, stared at Yang Xiaomi with evil intentions, and joked: "Mimi, who is coming over? Is it your boyfriend?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just a good friend." Yang Xiaomi denied and glared at the man.
She looked at the quiet beauty and said happily: "Master, how long can you stay in the imperial capital this time? We must have a good time together."
"Just a week. The crew will start filming early next month, and I have to be there."
Master Liu smiled lightly, picked up the kettle on the table, and slowly poured tea for the two of them.
Yang Xiaomi showed a clear look, stared at the young man again, and asked with a smile: "Where are you, Lao Hu, what bad things have you been doing recently?"
"What does it mean to do bad things? Am I, Lao Hu, that kind of person? Honey, please stop ruining my reputation."
"Kekeke..."
Seeing Brother Hu's furious look, Yang Xiaomi pursed her lips and smiled even happier.
The three of them got acquainted in a fairy tale drama last year. They are all young men and women with cheerful personalities. They became good friends as soon as they went back and forth.
This time the Xianxia drama was launched, and the three of them were in charge of promoting it. They had been busy for half a month and had no time to relax, so they made an appointment to have a dinner together.
The three of them chatted every sentence, while waiting for Fang Ziheng, they also talked about gossip news in the entertainment industry.
Most of the time, Hu Ge and Yang Xiaomi took the initiative to talk about the topic, while Liu Shishi listened quietly from the side, occasionally interjecting and adding something, acting as the one who asked questions that he didn't understand.
Just now Yang Xiaomi said that the person on the phone was her good friend, but Master Liu didn't believe it, not at all.
She noticed this when she was filming "Sword and Fairy" last year. Every time Yang Xiaomi received this call, she would be happy for a long time. There were several times when she went out at the hotel at night and stayed up all night.
When the call came just now, Master Liu pricked up his ears to listen. The man's voice on the other end of the phone was exactly the same as Mimi's voice when they were chatting on the phone on the set last year.
Humph, he said they were not lovers.
Liu Shishi's eyes flickered, thinking about whether to intimidate Yang Xiaomi that night and ask her to confess.
When she was on the set, she was always bullied and domineering by riding on her. Today she had to fight back, turn over and sing, and taste the feeling of riding.
………
When Fang Ziheng arrived, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
He apologized profusely and drank three glasses of juice as punishment.
"Sorry, it's a bit far, there's a traffic jam on the road."
"You are Brother Hu, and you are Master Liu. Hello, my name is Fang Ziheng, Mimi's friend."
"Hello, hello, please sit down!"
Hu Ge stood up and shook hands with Fang Ziheng with a bright face. He didn't feel unhappy at all about the long wait.
Liu Shishi didn't stand up, but picked up the tea cup and saluted. After all, he was Yang Xiaomi's man, and she didn't want to have much contact with him.
The four of them sat down again and chatted while eating. Yang Xiaomi was the initiator of today's gathering and took the initiative to start the conversation.
"Do you know that Yu Zheng, the director of the "Palace" I just finished filming? He was actually one of the directors of Shishi's "Step by Step"."
"I heard that director Yu Zheng originally wanted to collaborate with you Tang people on "Step by Step", but for some reason the two sides ended up having a stalemate. He wrote "Palace" out of anger, and then collaborated with us, Rong Xinda."
"What! Real or fake?"
Two exclamations rang out, and Fang Ziheng and Hu Ge stopped their chopsticks with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Chapter completed!
