As if he had been awake all this time just waiting for this call from her, Dai Zhuoqing answered the call as soon as the ringtone rang, "You finished reading so quickly?"
"I've finished reading the script and read half of the novel..."
Ye Wan glanced at the computer and said, "Director Dai, are you sure I am the second female lead?"
"Did you see it?"
Dai Zhuoqing said with a smile in his eyes, "From the director's point of view, both Liang Hou and Chang Le are the female leads, so this should be regarded as a drama with two female leads. From the audience's point of view, I guess they will think that Chang Le is the female lead.
.But when it comes to the actors..."
Ye Wan understood instantly.
In terms of the order of appearance, Liang Hou appeared first and had more scenes in the early stage.
In particular, Empress Liang passed away in the middle and late stages, ending her colorful life, which was regarded as a small climax in the play.
Although Changle appeared late, after the death of Empress Liang, the last third of the play was almost entirely about Changle.
So when it comes to actors, I guess the actresses from Liang Empress and Changle will feel that they are the most worthy female lead.
It would be easier if it was made clear in advance, but I'm afraid that when the promotional poster comes out, the two heroines will fight each other, which would be troublesome.
"Have you decided on the candidate for Empress Liang?"
Ye Wan asked.
Dai Zhuoqing hesitated for a moment.
From the time she was preparing to take on this drama, her first choice for Princess Changle was Ye Wan, and she never considered anyone else.
But after Liang, she had several candidates in mind, and some people got wind of it and told her about it.
But no matter which one I choose, it always feels a bit uninteresting.
"Liang Yuemian, Su Yuan, Xu Xinqiao..."
After naming several names at once, Dai Zhuoqing said in a deep voice: "Is there any actor you think is suitable for the role of Empress Liang?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Dai Zhuoqing was stunned for a moment.
It was obviously Ye Wan who was opposite her, but for a moment, she had the feeling that she was opposite her friend who was the same age as her, and the other person was the producer or screenwriter of the show, so the two naturally started chatting.
"No."
Ye Wan answered decisively, "Otherwise, you can watch it later when you arrange the audition. But..."
Ye Wan changed the subject, "There is an actress I admire very much, but she has not been in China in the past few years, and given her status, she may not be able to take this role."
Dai Zhuoqing was startled, "You're not talking about Lin Ying, are you?"
!!!
Is this the legendary telepathy?
"That's her!!!"
Ye Wan raised her voice, "When I went to Yancheng to attend the Golden Deer Award Ceremony last year, it was she who presented me with the award. When I was reading the novel just now, Empress Liang appeared on the Imperial Palace in a red, high-end dress. In my mind
The picture that emerged was that of Lin Ying wearing a red dress and standing on the Golden Deer award podium."
On the desk is a pictorial of Empress Liang from the original novel.
Although I don’t know which artist painted it, the palace-dressed woman in a red woven gold phoenix robe with red gold and pearls on her head is stunningly beautiful. When replaced with Lin Ying’s majestic face, it seems that they merge into one in an instant.
became the same person.
"Ye Wan..."
Dai Zhuoqing took a breath, "Do you know the cost budget of my drama? I spent all the money to hire Lin Ying, and they probably won't accept it."
Although he said this, Dai Zhuoqing felt itchy in his heart.
Before she had this pre-set candidate, looking at the actresses she had previously been interested in or who had approached her, it seemed almost boring.
But after mentioning the word "Lin Ying" and looking at those people, I felt that they were thousands of miles apart.
Dai Zhuoqing spoke angrily again, "Ye Wan, you deliberately don't want me to sleep tonight, right?"
The feeling of not getting what she wants will keep her awake at night, right?
