"It seems like you, a film director, really don't care about the gossip in the theater industry!"
Ye Lan glanced at Shen Mu and heard her continue: "Miss Wan has a good background and good acting skills. Naturally, she has some temperament."
"There are rumors in the world that no matter which crew she is on, she has bad relations with other crew members!"
At this time, Ye Lan finally expressed his worries and said: "When you bring money into the group, naturally you cannot be beaten or scolded. Even the director has to give some face. Do you understand what I mean?"
"So that's it!"
Hearing this, Shen Mu also took a deep breath.
He may not really know about this kind of thing, but he has never encountered it in reality. After all, he has only made one movie.
"Another point is that I heard that Miss Wan Da often adds extra scenes for herself. In this way, the scenes of other actors will inevitably be reduced. This is the most criticized thing!"
Ye Lan continued: "There were two dramas in which she was the second cast, but she had more roles than the heroine. When these two dramas were aired, her reputation was not very good!"
"Maybe it is because of this that even with the father of the chairman of Wantong Capital in recent years, Miss Wan has not been able to get any roles. She is just afraid that she will steal the show!"
Ye Lan raised her head and looked at Shen Mu, and said seriously: "Just imagine, the director is the authority of the crew, and the hero and heroine are also important figures who are held in the palm of their hands. Who wants to have multiple ancestors in his crew?"
"According to my guess, Miss Wan has been unable to get any roles recently, and Wan Mingyuan happened to know that you were going to make a TV series but couldn't get investment, so she took the initiative to come to you!"
In the end, Ye Lan summarized today's events, which made Shen Mu fall into deep thought, thinking that the promise he just made might be a little too fast.
But the next moment, Shen Mu's eyes became firmer, and he raised his head and said, "Since I have agreed to them, let's go to the audition first. After the audition, we can talk about other things!"
"But Sister Lan, you don't have to worry. If she passes the audition, can't we just write some things in when signing the contract?"
Shen Mu comforted Ye Lan and continued: "Anyway, in my crew, I have the final say. No one can join the cast, not even the eldest lady who brings money to join the crew!"
"This is the right attitude. I'm really afraid that you won't be able to hold on to your position. It's a pity that Langya Bang has such a good script!"
After hearing these words from Shen Mu, Ye Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she has been in the entertainment industry for many years and is an agent. She is used to seeing some actors with good backgrounds and those unwritten privileges.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something happy!"
Ye Lan shook his head, then with a smile on his face, he said: "Long Kai called me and said that Liu Chuanjun had agreed to join the Langya Bang crew and took over the role of Xie Hou!"
"And he also asked Long Kai to tell you that he misunderstood you about what happened at Doug Western Restaurant, and he will apologize to you in person then!"
Speaking of this incident, Ye Lan was in a very good mood. After all, after Doug's incident, his cooperation with Liu Chuanjun almost went south.
Apparently Liu Chuanjun had also seen the complete video online and knew that he had wrongly blamed Shen Mu.
Since the director's character is not bad, it is natural to discuss cooperation again.
"This is indeed good news!"
Shen Mu was also in a good mood. He turned his eyes to the window and said, "As long as this trip to Lake City goes well, the preliminary work will be almost ready!"
"Well, after you get Xu Xu, you can choose an auspicious day to start the game!"
Ye Lan is also a little excited. The most important thing for setting up this crew is to find the main actors.
They have been preparing these for a long time. As for other staff, venue props, etc., it is much easier to talk about. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have money.
…………
Speechless all the way, get off at Hucheng Station!
The appointment with Xu Xu is tomorrow, but this time Ye Lan and the two came to Hucheng. It was not just Xu Xu, but several other actors were also in Hucheng.
Therefore, Shen Mu and Ye Lan were not idle during this day, and their talks were relatively smooth. After all, most of them were contacted on the phone, and the conditions were discussed.
In the end, as soon as those few people saw the script of Wolf Fang List, they agreed without any hesitation.
They are all good actors whose character Ye Lan knows is trustworthy. The most important thing is the script.
Among them, there were some minor twists and turns in finalizing the role of King Yu, but in the end they were resolved perfectly by Ye Lan. The next thing they needed to finalize was the role of Mei Lang.
After finishing the business, Ye Lan also took Shen Mu to visit Shouhu Lake, walked on the Broken Bridge, climbed the Thunder Tower, and saw many of the ten sights of Shouhu Lake, which left Shen Mu in awe.
Lake City is a famous tourist city in Dragon Kingdom, but Shen Mu has never been there once. He spent all four years of college in Dragon City. This is the first time he has seen such beautiful scenery.
The beautiful scenery made Shen Mu feel a little tired, but he felt much more comfortable. He was also full of confidence in the prospects of the Langya List, and everything could only wait for tomorrow.
One night passes quickly!
After getting up and having breakfast the next day, Ye Lan took Shen Mu to a small courtyard by Shouhu Lake.
Looking at the green tiles and white walls and the seductive scenery of Shouhu Lake next to it, Shen Mu couldn't help but secretly sigh that Xu Xu really knew how to enjoy it.
Do you want to stay in the lakeside and mountain scenery and be a recluse?
However, Shen Mu now also understands Xu Xu's experience. After experiencing that catastrophe, no one would be a little disheartened, right?
But what Shen Mu is sure of is that Xu Xu still has a desire to act in his heart, but he has not encountered a suitable script in these years.
What's more, for someone as proud and arrogant as Xu Xu, if he were asked to play supporting roles again and again, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree.
But after undergoing plastic surgery in a fire, who would be willing to support this person who has fallen from the altar, even if Xu Xu was once known as the most beautiful young man in ancient times.
Nowadays, the beauty of handsome boys is long gone, and no one knows that behind these white walls and blue tiles, there is a down-and-out actor who has created many classic roles.
Crunch!
After Shen Mu knocked on the door for about a minute, the wooden door was finally opened from the inside, and a woman in retro clothes walked out. She had the graceful temperament of a Jiangnan woman.
"Are they Miss Ye and Director Shen? Please come in!"
Seeing a man and a woman outside, the woman in green immediately recognized their identities. Apparently she had received the news a long time ago and let them into the courtyard directly.
"I am Xu Xu's sister Xu Caihe, you can just call me Sister He!"
The woman in Tsing Yi who ushered the guests into the courtyard introduced herself, causing Shen Mu and Ye Lan to look at each other, thinking that they had never heard that Xu Xu had a sister before.
"I'm not from your circle, so it's normal that you don't know me!"
As if he knew what the other party was thinking, Xu Caihe explained without looking back, and then his voice turned low and said: "The reason why I agreed to let you come is mainly because I want you to persuade Xiaoxu!"
"My little brother, ever since that incident happened, it seems that his energy has been drained away, and he is no longer interested in anything. If this continues, he will become a cripple!"
Perhaps because few people come to this courtyard, Xu Caihe is quite interesting in talking. Between the lines of his words, there is a concealed concern for his brother, and there is also a hint of worry in it.
"It seems that Xu Xu's situation is more serious than we thought!"
Shen Mu and Ye Lan looked at each other, and now they both had some more ideas.
It seems that the news on the Internet is somewhat untrue. The real situation may be the reason for Xu Xu's own decadence.
But this is human nature. Xu Xu lost his best friend in the fire, and he himself also experienced disfigurement.
Human hearts are all fragile, but how many can be as solid as stone?
"But I still remind you, don't have too much hope!"
Xu Caihe walked forward and said: "It's not like no one has come to Xiaoxu to act in these years, but none of them have been successful. There may be some reasons for this, but his own reasons are the biggest!"
"Before you, a famous director came uninvited and was already talking to Xiaoxu. Do you want to go there later or go directly now?"
However, Xu Caihe's next words made Ye Lan's face darken, secretly thinking that this might conflict with his plan.
I originally thought that this time it would just be me and Shen Mu going to talk to Xu Xu, but I didn't expect that there was someone else who got there first, and it was some kind of "famous director". So who was it?
Xu Caihe in front had stopped and seemed to be waiting for the two people's decision. Obviously this was not the first time she had seen such a thing, and she was not embarrassed at all.
"Then we will..."
"Sister He, take us there!"
Just when Shen Mu wanted to wait a moment before going over, Ye Lan spoke up and heard her say: "Famous directors may not have good scripts. Whoever Xu Xu chooses in the end depends on the script!"
It seemed that Ye Lan was feeling a little hostile. Judging from what Sister He meant, she had no hope at all. She just wanted to find someone to talk to Xu Xu, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"That's...okay!"
Seeing Ye Lan's state, Shen Mu couldn't say anything more.
He is naturally very confident in his Wolf Fang List script, and he also wants to see which famous director it is?
"Come with me!"
At that moment, Xu Caihe didn't say anything more and led the two of them towards the room not far away. There was a trace of melancholy in his beautiful eyes, obviously he was worried about his younger brother.
In the past three years, she had seen Xu Xu's decadence. If he really couldn't get out, he would be ruined for the rest of his life, but she didn't have any good solution.
She only knows that her brother's only hobby is acting, which is probably the biggest reason why she doesn't refuse directors who come to her.
