Liang Long said with a hint of pleading: "Jingyue, you have to accept Wen Zheng's movie no matter what, so can you do me a favor?"
The reason why he was so polite to Liu Jingyue was that Liu Jingyue was now worth a lot of money and he needed to earn back his money; secondly, Feifan Entertainment needed this opportunity, and he had long coveted the network behind Wen Zheng.
Liu Jingyue flipped through the script and said casually: "As a singer, I may not be as good as Wen Zheng in my next life, but if he becomes a director...what if it turns out to be a bad movie."
"I have read the script," Liang Long said confidently. "If you put it in a foreign market, it would be a high-quality script."
Liu Jingyue sighed softly and said seriously: "Mr. Liang, you spent a lot of money to poach me, and you don't want to see me become the burial object of Wen Zheng falling off the altar, right? The script is really good, and I also like the heroine's role.
I want to take a challenge, but the quality of a drama depends not only on the actors and the script. Wen Zheng is changing his career, so how can he change his career?"
"The higher-ups will support this drama."
What Liang Long meant was that no matter what good results Wen Zheng produced, the higher-ups would pay for it.
The worst outcome is that it will only be well-received but not popular, or vice versa.
Liu Jingyue shook her head and said: "I want to try to broaden my business scope, but I don't want to just do it casually from the beginning. I won't learn anything from his crew. Apart from being able to show my face through his fame,
I can't think of a single benefit."
Liang Long was at a loss for a while when faced with Liu Jingyue, who had no food or salt.
He had to admit that Liu Jingyue's attitude toward Wen Zheng's filmmaking was similar to his true thoughts, but he had to take the overall situation into consideration.
After a moment of silence, he asked Liu Jingyue: "Since you are absolutely unwilling, then why were you hesitating when Wen Zheng asked you just now? Just refuse directly."
"I was wondering why he was looking for Wang Sisi or Ye Xiaoxue."
Liu Jingyue's answer was far beyond Liang Long's expectations. After that, she added, "Those who are close to Wen Zheng have always made huge profits in the end. I will consider whether to take a gamble again."
the other side.
Wen Zheng really had no intention of interviewing again, so he simply took a rest.
The problems she encountered for several days were almost the same. Either she didn't like the person, or they weren't interested in him making a movie at all. The reason why she came was entirely to give face to the boss Liang Long.
He never thought that he would be stuck in choosing actors.
Wang Ye couldn't help but ask Liu Jingyue's question: "Why don't you let Ye Xiaoxue or Wang Sisi come? Beautiful flowers eventually wither, which seems to be more in line with the theme of our movie. If Ye Xiaoxue and Wang Sisi's appearance is in the ten
, then Liu Jingyue only has seven and a half points at most."
Wen Zheng smiled bitterly: "This is not a beauty pageant. Who do you think is more like the common girl next door than Liu Jingyue or Ye Xiaoxue?"
Wang Ye thought for a while and replied: "Liu Jingyue and Ye Xiaoxue feel too beautiful to me. I might not be able to see someone as good-looking as her even if I squat on the roadside for a month."
Zhao Xin couldn't help but laugh and said: "A leader is worthy of being a leader, and his understanding is very high."
Wang Ye was slightly startled and couldn't help but smile when he realized what he was doing.
Although this reason sounds ridiculous, you really have to consider whether the audience will be disappointed.
Wang Yuehong suddenly asked: "What if Liu Jingyue doesn't agree? We have been here for several days. Even if Ye Xiaoxue agrees, where will the candidates for the other four main roles come from?"
Wen Zheng glanced at Wang Ye and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say before that there were a few retired old actors? Why don't you take a look at them first? If possible, let Wang Ye recruit them in the name of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
I really didn’t expect actors to be our biggest problem right now.”
Zhao Xin hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning. When our movie is released, I'm sure it will be brilliant again. When the next movie comes out, I'm sure the actors will beg their grandpa and grandma to join our crew."
.”
Wang Yuehong took out a stack of information from her bag and said, "Look at this first. I prepared it last night."
Wen Zheng took the information and took a look at it, and couldn't help being secretly surprised.
According to the information, the retired actors mentioned by Wang Yuehong are Hua Zai, Yan Zu, and Principal Gu. Their names are slightly different, but they look very similar.
"He, are they considered the ones who quit the circle?"
Wen Zheng stuttered in excitement.
Wang Yuehong explained: "It's similar to what you experienced before. People play tricks. It's their original sin if they have strength, so they have to withdraw from the circle. The previous works were not bad, but they were not well-known, and many of them can't be found online. You think about it yourself
What happened to them."
Wang Ye confirmed: "Like Wen Zheng, he was banned because he performed too well and was suspected of ruining other people's jobs?"
Wang Yuehong's face changed slightly and she just nodded slightly.
While talking, Liang Long returned with Liu Jingyue. He smiled and said, "I heard you let them go?"
Wen Zheng waved his hands and said: "I'm tired, let's take a rest first."
Diplodocus smiled awkwardly.
Liu Jingyue asked bluntly: "Wen Zheng, why did you let Ye Xiaoxue or Wang Sisi be the heroine?"
"Inappropriate."
Wen Zheng replied casually.
Liu Jingyue asked: "Why is it inappropriate? Is it because of the role of the scene that it is not decent for them to play drug addicts who sell their bodies?"
Wen Zheng tilted his head and looked at her, and said hesitantly: "You can doubt my director's level, but you can't doubt my character."
"I doubt it."
Liu Jingyue was obviously very reluctant, but had to agree for some reason.
Upon seeing this, Liang Long hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said: "We are filming. The heroine of Wen Zheng's debut film. Isn't this enough for you to leave a name in history? It's almost enough. Wen Zheng is not a professional, and you are not a professional. Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones."
, why are you talking about this?"
Liu Jingyue shook her head and sighed: "You saw it, I have no choice."
After saying that, she looked at Wen Zheng and added with a wry smile: "If you want, I can join your crew. I hope you can make movies as good as singing. Don't let me down."
Wen Zheng frowned and said with a smile: "Let's forget it. I don't like to force others to make things difficult for me. Mr. Liang, it seems that we have no chance to cooperate. Let's take our leave."
Liu Jingyue frowned.
Liang Long quit, and grabbed Wen Zheng, who was about to get up, and said kindly: "No, it's our first time to cooperate, so we can't break up on bad terms, right? I let..."
Wen Zheng interrupted: "It's not like we broke up on bad terms. I know you tried your best."
He hesitated for a moment and then suggested: "Otherwise, you can find two men and one woman who are better at acting, and I will arrange two roles. In this way, my trip will not be in vain."
Liang Long kept winking at Liu Jingyue, but the latter ignored him at all.
In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to Wen Zheng's proposal.
When Wen Zheng and others left Feifan Entertainment, they didn't expect that Wang Ye would be the first to break out.
He said angrily: "Give her some shame! Do you really think we can't make this movie without her?! It's like we're begging her."
Everyone looked at each other, except Wen Zheng who was extremely depressed.
He sighed and gritted his teeth secretly: "I will never let this situation happen again. I'm just an actor. Sister Wang, give Feng Qin a call and tell her that the heroine will be given to her!"
Wang Yuehong was very considerate of Wen Zheng and agreed sincerely in person, but did not call immediately.
That night.
Wang Yuehong found Wen Zheng alone and called Feng Qin in front of him. As Wen Zheng expected, Feng Qin agreed without saying a word.
People who have been with Wen Zheng for a long time, especially singers, have a blind trust in Wen Zheng.
As long as Wen Zheng says it's okay, then it's okay.
Obviously, Feng Qin belongs to this kind of blind follower of Wen Zheng.
The heroine is decided, followed by the boss Kun Ge played by Andy Lau, the undercover Ali played by Yan Zu, and the rest is the heroine’s husband played by Principal Gu.
Wen Zheng had read the information given by Wang Yuehong, so he immediately found some of their works for Wen Zheng.
After seeing it, Wen Zheng felt that it was a little different from Blue Star's prototype, but it was pretty good. After all, it was their early work, so he immediately made a decision.
The next day, Wang Ye and Wang Yuehong took the script and set off. As for Wen Zheng and others, after waiting for Feng Qin to arrive, they first went to the training base that Wang Ye had prepared earlier.
The so-called training base is just a place arranged by the Drug Enforcement Administration for Wen Zheng and the actors to understand the relevant facts.
Wen Zheng took Feng Qin to study, while Wang Yuehong and Wang Ye's progress could only be described as passable.
Andy had been away from acting for several years. Wang Yuehong explained his intention and handed over the script. After reading it, the other party saw the face of the Drug Enforcement Administration and agreed to star in the drama as the low-key boss Kun Ge.
Although he agreed, he still had some complaints in his heart.
He knew Wen Zheng and admired his talent and courage, but this was limited to singing. As for director Wen Zheng, he was not very optimistic about it from the bottom of his heart.
Because after he was banned, he also thought about taking this road, but unfortunately he failed repeatedly until his head turned white.
He was still a professional actor turned director, but Wen Zheng turned directly from a singer to a director. If the script hadn't been fake, he would have thought it was a scam.
On the other side, Yanzu and Principal Gu didn’t have any big problems.
Before reading the script, they readily agreed based on the department behind Wang Ye. After reading the script, both of them felt that it was promising. If the movie really became a hit, maybe they would be lucky, so
He immediately indicated that he could leave immediately.
The three of them agreed, and Wang Yuehong immediately arranged air tickets and took the three of them to meet Wen Zhengchu.
Since then, the four characters who played more roles in the movie "The Disciple" have all been in place. When everyone met, they never encountered Liu Jingyue's embarrassment. At least on the surface, they all had a gentle and obedient attitude.
The four leading actors stayed at the training base for a week and moved on again.
Wen Zheng had the director's template given by the system, and as soon as he got started on the set, he felt like he was familiar with it, and he was very high-spirited.
"Attention all units! The first shot of the first scene of the movie "The Disciple", action!"
