Different roles
After lunch, Yang Rui personally organized a small meeting.
Not only were all the heads of various departments present, but several artists from the company were also called.
This also includes Yang Mi. Although the job-hopping process has not been completed yet, it is basically a matter of time.
Everyone in the company has basically regarded her as one of their own, so no one was surprised when she appeared in an internal meeting.
Tang Yan, who has not yet officially graduated, also asked for leave and rushed over. This was a meeting to allocate roles, and she did not dare to miss it.
After everyone had arrived, Ding Lan came up to introduce the basic situation.
The competition for the rights to the two TV series planned by the company, "Sword and Sword 3" has entered the final stage, and the only opponent is Tang Ren.
However, because the response revenue of "Sword of Immortal 1" has not yet been seen, Tang Ren's internal views on the prospects of the IP of "Sword of Immortal" have never been unified. Even if Cai Yinong likes it, he will not be able to spend a lot of money to grab this copyright.
This aspect is precisely Xingqing's advantage. The goal is clear and decisive. Winning the copyright is basically just a matter of time, as long as Yao Daxian doesn't rip him off.
Therefore, preparations for this film can already begin in advance.
As for the directing team, under Yang Rui's suggestion, we decided to stick with the team from "Sword and Sword 1". Those people are professionals in the Xianxia series. It's hard to say what the upper limit is, but the lower limit is definitely guaranteed.
As for the male protagonist, Yang Rui already has his favorite candidate in mind, he just needs to finalize it.
The first agenda of this meeting is to determine the roles of the three female protagonists.
Liu Shishi, who successfully got a corner of nightshade, looked at Yang Rui with joy and affection.
Tang Yan, who got the role of Zixuan, felt somewhat flattered. He was stunned for a long time before he stood up and bowed in thanks.
As someone who has played "Sword and Sword 3", she is very clear about the importance of this character. If the script is adapted properly, the thickness of the character can even surpass that of the female lead!
As a newcomer, I originally thought it would be good to get a big supporting role, but I didn't expect that I would be playing such a big role right away.
Excited, nervous, pretty face flushed.
The remaining one is the theoretical female lead, and Tang Xue meets her.
Yang Mi, who was sitting at the end of the table, clenched her fists nervously and looked at Yang Rui expectantly.
Regardless of the age or image of the character, she thinks she is the most suitable for this role!
However, Yang Rui just glanced at her lightly and said, "I don't plan to leave this role to anyone in my family."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Even Ding Lan was quite surprised, he killed first and then played later!
Yang Mi was even more angry and annoyed, and almost lost her temper.
"I know you may not understand, let me explain the reason." Yang Rui said with a smile: "First of all, this film cannot be shot solely by us. We must leave a few characters for other investors. Tang Xuejian's role is very interesting.
A good piece of bait."
"Secondly...there is no suitable person in the company who is qualified for this role."
When he said this, he looked at Damimi without hesitation, "I know what you are thinking, but it is impossible for me to give you this role. Several veteran female artists in the company are still sitting on the bench.
It is absolutely inappropriate for a person who has switched jobs to be the first female student."
Hearing this, Yang Mi finally felt a little better.
It's not because of lack of ability, it's just because of seniority... This reason is acceptable.
But since you don’t plan to give it, why did you call me over?!
As if he had read through her thoughts, Yang Rui immediately said: "Don't worry, let's practice playing two supporting roles first. You will have the opportunity to take the leading role in the future."
It's more or less a promise. Yang Mi nodded, "Thank you, Director Yang, I will work hard."
Although he said this, there seemed to be an unconvinced stubbornness in his eyes.
This color was caught in Yang Rui's eyes, and he was not worried but happy.
What I need is this energy to get these little flowers to roll up, and it’s up to you to lead them!
After dividing the meat of "Sword and Sword 3", the meeting entered the second agenda.
The script of the second drama has not been revealed yet. Everyone only knows that it seems to be a suspense drama, and that it will be directed by Xiao Yang and Yang Rui will star in it.
"Compared with "Sword and Fairy 3", I actually value this drama more." Yang Rui said: "Because the IP of "Sword and Fairy" is essentially an idol-type work for fans, and this drama is solid.
Content to work.”
"I plan to open a special theater series in the future. I will not sell my face or speculate on CP, but only produce high-quality content. This drama is the first of the series."
Upon hearing that the style was so high, everyone straightened their backs and became interested.
"The script is still being perfected, but the overall framework has been finalized, and I probably have a preset list of characters in mind."
"I will play the male lead myself, and the other roles...Wang Pheasant."
"Um?"
Wang Zhi was distracted when his name was suddenly called and he was startled, "Director Yang, what's the matter?"
"There is a role that suits you very well, but it requires you to cut your hair short. Would you like to take it?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi and others subconsciously touched their long shawl hair, with painful expressions on their faces.
For them, this long hair is almost like their lifeblood.
Wang Zhi was also stunned for a moment, but she was not hesitating, but was surprised.
Do you want to ask specifically about this?
She gestured directly towards her hair, "How short does it need to be, like a flat head?"
"That's not necessary." Yang Rui smiled and said, "Just the ear level is fine."
"Okay, I'll cut it later." Wang Zhi said without hesitation.
Yang Rui nodded with satisfaction, he liked this cheerful character.
"Shen Teng."
"Yes!" Shen Teng stood up excitedly, then raised his hands to apologize, "Sorry, I was too excited and my voice was a bit loud."
There was a burst of laughter, and Yang Rui couldn't help but shake his head.
This guy is really a natural comedian.
I wonder if it would be a mistake to give him this role?
Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, let him go to the comedy market!
"The second male lead is just an unlikable character. Should I accept it?"
"Director Yang, look at what you said." Shen Teng was speechless, "You play the lead actor yourself, how come I can make a difference?"
The weird tone and the right expression aroused another burst of laughter.
The originally serious atmosphere of the meeting was turned into a mess.
"Okay, then you should pay attention to body management recently, and don't show up with a general belly when the time comes." Yang Rui said with a smile.
Shen Teng made an OK gesture directly, "Promise to complete the task!"
"Yang Mi." Yang Rui named her again.
Yang Mi immediately sat up straight and said, "Director Yang."
"It's a supporting role, but it also requires short hair." Yang Rui smiled and said, "Would you accept it?"
Yang Mi was stunned immediately.
If it was a female protagonist, she might not hesitate.
If it was just a supporting role...it would be a bit of a loss!
After all, once you cut your hair short, it will last a long time!
But Wang Zhi's performance was there, if she didn't accept it... her professional attitude would be immediately outclassed.
Damn it, I was put on a shelf!
It must be intentional!
After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Director Yang, I'll take it."
In fact, she had no room to refuse, otherwise there would be no place for her in the company in the future.
After finalizing Yang Mi, Xiao Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Director Yang, is there another choice for the hostess?"
Yang Rui smiled calmly, "I have someone in mind, but it's not from our own company."
Chapter completed!
