Chapter 143 It’s okay, I just want to hug you suddenly

A few days later, Zhang Jianzhong replied to Song Yi's request. Two of the four invited guests agreed to participate in the show, while two others were unable to participate due to scheduling issues.

This result was acceptable to Song Yi, because he never thought that all four people would agree at the beginning.

After confirming the list, he handed it over to Qin Dan and asked her to confirm the communication with the other party, sign the contract, and finalize the matter as soon as possible.

In addition, Director Wan has also resigned from the original show and has been handed over to a young variety show director who was just hired.

It is already a very mature program, and it is not difficult to guide. In addition, the ratings of the program itself are only about that, so it is just suitable for newcomers to exercise.

Director Wan, who returned to Chengdu, directly invited Song Yi to his home for dinner in order to express his gratitude. He also asked him to bring Tang Wanqing with him, saying that his wife at home liked her very much.

But because Tang Wanqing had an announcement out of town that day, she couldn't go.

In the evening, Song Yi and Director Wan ate and drank and chatted for a long time about the new show.

In most cases, Song Yi explains the prototype of his new show from the perspective of the guest's personality, the game flow of the show, effects, etc.

Director Wan listened and occasionally asked some questions, and Song Yi would answer them one by one.

The meal was very late, and both of them drank a lot of wine.

After returning home, Song Yi fell on the sofa and fell asleep.

The next morning, he was woken up by a burst of cell phone ringing. It was Chen Ying calling.

The reason turned out to be that Liao Wei's agent suddenly called and said that he was going to come over for a audition this afternoon and asked them to prepare in advance.

You must know that Liao Wei is an actor who has won the best actor level. He is really a big shot.

This surprised Chen Ying.

Chen Ying didn't know the cast list of "The Silent Truth", so she quickly called Song Yi after repeatedly making sure that the other party was correct.

After hearing Chen Ying say that the other party was a powerful actor at the level of a movie king, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered what Tang Wanqing said to him.

Could it be that Tang Wanqing invited her here?

"You make arrangements and preparations according to the other party's requirements. I will come over later. By the way, during the audition, call Director Zhou."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ying was still in a state of excitement.

Mr. Song really has huge energy, no wonder he dares to suddenly insert himself into the entertainment industry and steal the cake from others.

The first film was able to bring in a great director like Zhang Jianzhong to shoot, and the second film directly recruited powerful actors at the movie king level.

This is basically impossible for a new company and a new screenwriter.

Unless the investment company is willing to spend a lot of money.

But she knew that the company did not spend a lot of money at all, and the price quoted by the other party was even lower than the salary he should have originally received.

When Zhou Jingyu received the news and found out that a movie star might star in his film, he was shocked for a long time, then excited and happy.

In the afternoon, actor Liao Wei and his team arrived at the audition venue in Chengdu as scheduled.

Song Yi personally took Zhou Jingyu with him, and Chen Ying greeted him.

"Hello, Teacher Liao, welcome."

Before Song Yi came, he took a special look at his information and got to know this person.

Liao Wei is an actor in his 40s, average-looking, graduated from the undergraduate class of the Acting Department of Shanghai Theater Academy, has many representative works, and is a late bloomer.

Although he performed well in other dramas before, he has always been lukewarm and has been playing supporting roles.

It was not until a few years ago that he began to stand out. First, he was nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Golden Horse Awards for his film "Half the Sky and Half the Land". Later, he won the Best Actor Award at the International Film Festival for his role in "A Fire in the Day" and became a Mainland my country's first Berlin actor.

The following year, he won the Best Actor Award from the Asian Film Awards for his role in "A Fire in the Day".

For such a person, there is no doubt about his strength.

"Hello, Teacher Song Yi."

Liao Wei, who was wearing a beard, shook hands with Song Yi warmly.

He didn't call him Mr. Song because Song Yi had specially greeted Chen Ying. Today he came to see people as a screenwriter.

So Liao Wei didn't know that Song Yi was not only a screenwriter, but also the boss of Songtang Entertainment Co., Ltd.

When Teacher Xia Chao first told him about this and asked him to participate in this script, he was reluctant.

After all, I am very busy now, my schedule is full, and there is an entertainment company that I have never heard of, so I probably don’t have any good works.

But when he heard that the teacher himself was going to participate in the show and that the screenwriter was Song Yi, he hesitated and agreed.

Firstly, I was giving the teacher some face, and secondly, I heard that Song Yi had recently created Gongdou-ryu, and the very popular script "The Desire of the Golden Branch" was written by Song Yi.

He also wanted to come and see this teacher Song Yi.

When meeting him today, Liao Wei was a little surprised because this teacher Song Yi was really a little too young.

The two briefly greeted each other, and then Song Yi introduced Director Zhou Jingyu and Chen Ying to Liao Wei.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they immediately started putting on makeup and changing clothes. During this period, Song Yi gave each other the script for the audition.

Once everything is ready, the audition begins.

It's said to be a trial, but it's actually a process.

But after a few minutes of auditioning, Song Yi was more satisfied with his expectations than imagined. He is indeed a time-tested actor, and his acting skills are really amazing.

After the audition, both parties signed the contract, and it was already time to finish dinner.

Song Yi originally wanted to invite the other party to have a meal together, but because Liao Wei was in a hurry and had to attend an event in the evening, he refused and left with the group.

Next, Song Yi auditioned for three main roles one after another.

Although none of these people are famous in terms of fame, and they all play supporting roles, it is no surprise that they are all capable actors, and Song Yi was very satisfied with every audition.

Acting in suspense dramas and solving crimes is not like idol dramas. It is useless to look good.

Whether it is the protagonist or the main supporting role, what Song Yi wants is this kind of powerful actor, simple and incompetent.

In this way, everyone seems to have a sense of immersion and reality.

Especially when auditioning for the last supporting role, that is, the role of "Zhang Chao", a professor at the School of Political Science and Law in the play, Song Yi was caught off guard.

When they met, he first looked at Song Yi's overall image, and then asked with a smile: "I heard that girl Wanqing said that you are her boyfriend?"

"."Song Yi.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Chao. I was her teacher when she was studying in college."

Song Yi smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Xia."

"Now you should have all the main characters in this drama together, right?"

"It's all ready."

"Let me tell you, that girl Wan Qing came to school specifically to ask me for help because of your drama. Otherwise, do you think someone like Liao Wei would come?"

Xia Chao said: "I'm not telling you this to take credit from you. I want you to know that this girl Wan Qing has been running around for a while and begged a lot of people for your drama."

"I understand, thank you teacher for telling me this."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Xia Chao said: "Notify me when the time to turn on the computer is determined so that I can arrange the time."

"good."

In this way, Song Yi, the main characters in the play, has been confirmed.

Because of Tang Wanqing's relationship with this online drama, the strength of his current cast members is a bit exaggerated. In addition to the actor Liao Wei, there are also three national first-class actors.

Before leaving, Song Yi said to Zhou Jingyu: "Director Zhou, I leave such a team of actors to you. If you still can't produce a satisfactory work for me, you should change your career as soon as possible."

This sentence immediately made Zhou Jingyu feel a lot of pressure.

How can a young director like him be so virtuous and capable?

But when he thought of what Song Yi told him, he could only bite the bullet.

For his career, this drama is a success or failure.

Back at the company, Song Yi asked Chen Ying to publish a message in the circle in the name of the company to recruit other role actors in the "Silent Truth" crew, and asked Zhou Jingyu to be responsible for auditioning and screening actors.

Song Yi emphasized one point and also announced the names of several leading actors.

In this way, with the celebrity effect of these few people, there will be many actors to sign up, and the range of candidates for the crew will be much wider.

After Song Yi confirmed the matters here, the Penguin Company's program production team has basically completed the preliminary preparations.

The next day Song Yi flew to Chongqing and brought people to the site to take a look at the first phase of the venue, "Chongqing Cathay Art Center".

This building is located at Jiefangbei in YZ District, Chongqing. It is considered to be in the core area of ​​the local CBD and covers an area of ​​2.91 hectares. It has been under construction for more than ten years.

It adopts the traditional Chinese national style and is one of the cultural landmarks of Chongqing City. It is also a building with a very distinctive appearance in Chongqing City. Because the main body of the building is red, it also looks like a burning "bonfire", but it is

It is nicknamed "Chopstick Tower".
