Cheng Yiming flatly refused without even thinking.
Aside from the fact that he had already recommended the role of Dugu Danxia to He Tiantian, and He Tiantian had already completed the audition, Director Chen almost had to make a final decision.
At this time, unless the employer spends a lot of money, this role can be pried away.
Firstly, Cheng Yiming was not a willful employer, and secondly, He Tiantian was introduced by himself.
If he makes such a fuss again, he will definitely offend people.
He Tiantian is not an ordinary little actor, there is He Technology Entertainment Company behind her.
And even director Feng Jing had to change the script to please him.
Furthermore, even if He Tiantian does not have a strong backer, his own abilities are not bad.
She is young, beautiful, has acting skills, and has the qualifications of a Beijing University student. As long as she wants to, she will definitely be able to make a career in the entertainment industry.
It’s too late to invest in such a potential stock in advance, so how can you be offended by a stupid person?!
Cheng Yiming is neither stupid nor crazy!
More importantly, the roles of Xue Min and Dugu Danxia are not suitable at all, okay?
Xue Min is already thirty-one years old this year, while Dugu Danxia in the script was only sixteen when she appeared.
Of course, good actors are not limited by age.
As long as your acting skills are good, you can still perform the agility and cuteness of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old in your thirties or forties.
But the problem is, Xue Min has no acting skills at all.
Many cases in the entertainment industry reveal a truth:
Academic background = good acting skills.
Xue Min is the most eager among them.
Think about when Xue Min met Cheng Yiming?
When I was filming a few years ago!
A few years ago, Cheng Yiming was still struggling in the quagmire of bad movies.
Being able to make a bad movie with him, but not being able to step on Cheng Yiming and become famous, shows how bad Cheng Min's acting skills are.
The key is that this guy is not only bad at acting, he also loves to act like a big name.
When speaking lines, just say 123, when performing crying scenes, use eye drops, and always have two or three stand-ins on hand...
Many times, Cheng Yiming couldn't stand it.
Ahem, Brother Yi Ming's acting skills are only up and down, but his character and professional ethics are still no problem.
I only worked with Xue Min once, and that drama was a disaster.
Cheng Yiming secretly swore in his heart that he would never film a movie with Xue Min again.
If you have no acting skills, no professional skills, and no luck, why would you want to cooperate with such a person?
Do you want to waste your not-so-good reputation and reputation together?
Cheng Yiming is very optimistic about this time's "The King".
He took the initiative to invest because he was afraid that the crew would be troubled by funds and have to compromise with the management.
Now, the other managers have not stuffed some vases willfully, but I have helped Xue Min, who wants nothing, grab such an important role as the second female lead. Ha, I really think he is the one who is taken advantage of.
"..."
Seeing Cheng Yiming's determination and mockery in his tone, Xue Min couldn't hold the phone.
After a while, Xue Min found her voice and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother Yi Ming, you can't be so heartless. Let's at least--"
Before saying this, Xue Min turned on the recording function of her phone.
Although Cheng Yiming didn't know that Xue Min was secretly recording, he had been working hard in the entertainment industry for nearly two decades and was more careful and cautious than anyone else.
If there was anything to say, he wouldn't say a word.
"Xue Min, we have filmed together, and we also cooperated with the crew to promote CP. In the past few years, we have been frequently discussed by netizens because of a lot of bad news!"
Cheng Yiming took a deep breath, deliberately hiding the ambiguity between the two, and slowly said what he wanted to present to the public -
"I thought, we are friends after all. And since you are a girl, you are at a disadvantage when it comes to scandals!"
"Now that Xue Qing and I have become successful, I always feel a little sorry for you. There happened to be a few audition opportunities, and you were quite suitable, so I recommended them to you!"
"But this doesn't mean that I owe you and I have to be blackmailed by you!"
By the end of the sentence, Cheng Yiming's tone had turned cold.
The word "blackmail" seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.
Xue Min's heart trembled, and she suddenly realized that she had made a bad move.
She shouldn't mistakenly think that a well-known good man in this circle is really a "good man" just because Cheng Yiming gave her compensation.
Are you kidding me? If you are able to thrive in a vanity fair like the entertainment industry and turn yourself into capital, is Cheng Yiming the stupid fool that netizens ridicule?
Not to mention that Cheng Yiming himself is capital, just because he has worked hard in the entertainment industry for nearly twenty years, he has many connections and relationships that Xue Min dares not offend easily.
"Oh, brother Yi Ming, I, I just said casually, if it doesn't work, it won't work. Don't be angry!"
Xue Min quickly softened his tone.
Cheng Yiming is not a cheating scumbag, and she, Xue Min, is not a bitter first wife.
They are basically men and women who eat and drink in the entertainment industry. When filming, they "feel in love because of the drama." After filming, they can only have an occasional flirtation or become running buddies with clear business deals.
One is that the relationship has not been confirmed, and the other is that the certificate has not been obtained.
There are no moral or legal constraints.
If people are kind and willing to pay her compensation, she should take it seriously.
Why do you have to push the envelope even further?
Xue Min quickly realized her problem and hurriedly pleaded with Cheng Yiming, "I was wrong, Brother Yiming, I know I was wrong."
"What, you are right, that role is not suitable for me. Haha, forget it if it is not suitable. We will still be friends from now on, right?"
In the end, Xue Min became cautious and even a bit flattering.
Seeing that Xue Min was so understanding, Cheng Yiming nodded with satisfaction, "Yes! We are still friends!"
We are all in the same circle, we don't see each other when we look up, and Cheng Yiming, who has always been a good person, naturally doesn't talk to death.
It won't push people to a dead end.
At most, I know that Xue Min is not smart enough, so stay away from her in the future.
Hearing Xue Min say some nice things on the phone again, Cheng Yiming responded lightly and hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone with the screen turned off, Cheng Yiming was stunned for a while, then clicked on the screen again——
Dugu Danxia's role must be decided as soon as possible.
Even Xue Min wanted to come and join in the fun, which shows the appeal of director Chen Lin and the charm of the crew itself.
Cheng Yiming had a lot of difficulties in the drama "The King", so he naturally hopes that it will be perfect.
He Tiantian is the most suitable actor to play Dugu Danxia. Cheng Yiming doesn't want any more changes, so he should finalize the role as soon as possible to avoid further misunderstandings from the management.
Cheng Yiming swiped his phone, found Chen Lin's phone number, and dialed it directly.
"Hey, Director Chen, how are you? Are you done?"
Cheng Yiming didn't have too many pleasantries and went straight to the topic, "Has the role of Dugu Danxia been decided? Is the result of He Tiantian's audition okay?"
"...How about I make some more investment?"
Even if there are connections brought in by the capital, several important roles must be ensured not to be affected.
"Haha! I will certainly welcome your additional investment!"
"He Tiantian's performance was very good. After watching her audition, the screenwriter was so inspired that she went into retreat to revise the script!"
"It's basically settled. I'll ask my assistant to notify He Tiantian to sign the contract!"
Chen Lin understood what Cheng Yiming meant, so she answered in a joking manner.
In fact, Cheng Yiming guessed correctly. There were indeed a few resource guys who fell in love with the role of Dugu Danxia.
There is no way, the plot setting is contrary to the routine, and the character setting is brilliant.
The second female lead is not the love rival of the first female lead. Not only does she not seduce the male lead, she actually despises the male lead for not being strong enough, not perfect enough, and not worthy of her best friend!
In addition to the character design, the second female lead's role is second only to that of the female lead.
After all, she was the heroine's childhood friend, her best friend in her youth, and her good helper after entering politics.
She is always by the heroine's side, and her scenes run through from the first episode to the last few episodes.
Added together, it is the total of second male and third female supporting roles.
If you can hire a screenwriter yourself, spend some money, add more dramas, you can become the heroine in a second!
Furthermore, Director Chen Lin’s signature is also very loud.
Her last TV series, "Only Your Majesty Is the Same", became a hit and broke the Internet, with a D-flare score of 8.1.
All the male and female protagonists in the play have become famous, and several supporting characters have also gained high exposure.
The news that Chen Lin is going to film a new drama "The King" has spread, and the entertainment industry has begun to become restless.
A washed-up actor wants to take advantage of the opportunity to become famous, and a cute little guy who has just debuted wants to have a good start...
It doesn't matter, that's it. Those who have embraced the golden opportunity will naturally find ways to get better roles.
Faced with the money thrown in by the capital and the candidates they recommended, Chen Lin also hesitated.
I auditioned and eliminated some candidates who really couldn't watch, leaving only three or five people.
There are men and women, and there are big and small backers.
Chen Lin began to weigh up and found a few less important roles.
As for an important role like Dugu Danxia, Chen Lin didn't want to give it to someone with average acting skills.
Therefore, when she received a call from Cheng Yiming, Chen Lin gave a clear answer.
"That's good! Haha, Director Chen, continue your work and I won't disturb you!"
When Cheng Yiming got the answer he wanted, he laughed and hung up the phone.
He didn't call He Tiantian directly to tell him the good news. It would be safer to let Director Chen inform him about this kind of thing.
As for things like "selling favors", you must let the other party know about it.
But you must pay attention to the method. If it is too direct, it will have the opposite effect.
Chen Lin just put down the phone and was about to ask her assistant to notify He Tiantian when her phone rang again.
"Mr. Liu! Haha, yes, I am planning to shoot a new movie?"
"Is there a gap in funds? Oh, when it comes to funds, the more the better."
"Do you want to invest? Welcome, haha, it really solved my urgent need..."
"Faye Zhao? Oh, I know her. The little girl is good at acting. The web drama she just acted in was quite popular!"
"...Okay! Let her try it out!"
Chen Lin chatted with the other party for a while before hanging up the phone.
Looking at the phone and Faye Zhao's contact information and audition time written down on the notepad at hand, I couldn't help but sigh.
Mr. Liu did not directly ask for the role of the second female lead, but the meaning was revealed in his words.
Why, Faye Zhao has learned to dance, and can complete some movements such as flying in the air, somersaults, etc.
Why did Zhao Feier study in the country of Fu, know how to ride a horse, and even participated in the equestrian competition in the country of Fu?
These words are very purposeful and directional - Zhao Fei'er can meet Dugu Danxia's role requirements.
"Faye Zhao?!"
Chen Lin picked up her phone again and started searching for this new person's information on the Internet.
Well, I was born in the millennium, so I am exactly twenty-two years old this year.
She debuted at the age of eighteen. When she debuted, she had a white, rich and beautiful persona.
It is said that her family is quite wealthy, and she is a daughter of a moderately wealthy family.
I studied in a rotten country, and it was not the kind of pheasant university that you can go to if you have money. It may not be a famous school, but it's not too bad either.
Therefore, when she debuted, the company created a persona for her that was white, rich, beautiful, and domineering.
The key is that she has a well-matched fiancé, and he is willing to spend money to help her continue acting.
Faye Zhao debuted four years ago and acted in three movies and two TV series.
Not surprisingly, they all jumped.
Last year, I acted in an online drama out of anger, and it actually became a small hit.
The team pursued the victory and hyped her up as a rich, beautiful and domineering persona, which actually made her famous in the entertainment industry.
The number of fans on vbo has exceeded 4 million, so he can be considered a small star below the third tier.
Faye Zhao's appearance is also good. She is not a stunning beauty, but she is also pure and cute, and she belongs to the girl-next-door type.
A round face, because it is young and full of collagen, looks like it has rims around the eyes.
As for acting skills, I can't say that I don't have them, but I can't reach a high level. At most, I can't let people watch the show.
The previous web drama was a hit mainly because of her true character, a simple and lovely rich daughter.
It is said that when filming this web drama, many of the luxury cars, clothes, bags, jewelry, etc. were used from Faye Zhao's private collection.
This was also a highlight of the subsequent hype, attracting countless viewers and fans to call her "little princess."
only……
Fei'er Zhao's image and conditions really don't meet Dugu Danxia's requirements.
Dugu Danxia is a noblewoman, a young general disguised as a woman. She is noble, but she must also be heroic.
Chen Lin really couldn't imagine the scene of Faye Zhao flying onto a horse with a round face, fighting in the formation.
But Mr. Liu's investment really moved Chen Lin's heart.
Just open her mouth and get 50 million, which is worth half of all the investment she attracted.
Alas, if she had 50 million more, she could make the service more refined and shoot it in real locations.
Oh, by the way, war scenes can also be made more ambitious and intense!
But Fei Er Zhao——
Chen Lin's mind kept flashing back to He Tiantian's perfect performance in the audition, and she felt a tangle in her heart.
At this moment, Chen Lin's assistant came over excitedly——
"Director Chen, the third young master of the Lian Group wants to invest in our new drama, and he can ask for 80 million!"
Chen Lin:......
She swallowed and asked, getting to the point, "What part do they want?"
It can't be the heroine.
She had already identified Jiang Li and signed a contract, so it was difficult to change it.
But the money given by the employer is too much, what should she do if she is so excited?
"That person said that their third young master is a fan of He Tiantian..."
