Chapter 89 It’s all about favors, a big gamble (updated with 20,000 words)
In Yanjing, it is very common for celebrities who live here to gather together and sing karaoke.
There are even several KTVs that specialize in hosting such private gatherings.
Of course Wang Xiya could easily secure a seat, but she refused to attend such a gathering.
Wang Xiya would not go to any place that might be targeted by the paparazzi.
However, how could the paparazzi imagine that anyone would invite a party to sing K on the first night of the Lunar New Year? Except Han Zhou, a mental patient.
Of all the people, An Lan was the first to arrive.
Wearing a white down jacket and a woolen hat, An Lan walked in with her hands in her pockets.
Just arrived, An Lan: "Do you have a clue about the number one in the world?"
Han Zhou whispered: "The situation is urgent. The TV series I told you about last time has to finalize all the protagonists in one night, otherwise it will be useless."
An Lan was surprised: "So anxious?"
"Is that so? I'll discuss the timing with my agent, and you can give me the script."
It can be seen that in the script, every character's role is very brilliant and very strong.
He turned around and said, "Sister Yi Ling, are you coming?"
Emperor Zhengde: Lu Jin. Cao Zhengchun: Wang Mingyuan.
Only this guy Wu Yue got the role of Duan Tianya. He didn't say anything and just sat there making skewers. He alone ate Han Zhou's barbecue worth more than 200 yuan.
…
After saying that, he took out the piece of paper, held it in his arms, and ran towards the box door, trying to escape.
The male is right and wrong: Han Zhou. The female is Princess Yunluo: An Lan.
Rang Bing asked loudly: "Do you have any ideas for "Train Fast 2"?"
At this time, Wei Yuan, who was howling in front of a group of singers, finally finished howling.
But we haven't filmed a movie together yet.
Tang Zhou looked at Han Zhou: "Huh?"
Ye Manyi is the easiest to talk to among everyone, because she has just resumed work and has not taken any roles at all, similar to Tang Zhou.
In the end, more than 20 episodes of the TV series were turned into 35 episodes.
Little Queen An Lan.
Then at the scene, Jean was pinned down on the sofa: "I feel that "Train Fast" is suitable for you. "All the Way North" should be mine!"
Ask the soldier to come over and ask, "Would you like to drink while shaking the dice?"
Therefore, for a drama that takes three months to shoot, everyone can be separated and the scenes that appear together can be filmed in two weeks.
Han Zhou loudly asked: "Are you willing?"
It has been two months since Tang Zhou suffered a fracture in his leg, and he has basically recovered. After being inactive for so long, Tang Zhou heard that there was a gathering of men's gangs today, so he came over.
Lu Jin was going crazy. How come he could hear things from a distance, but couldn't hear clearly when he was close together? Is it a problem with the design of the private room?
Lin Xiaoxing held "All the Way North" with his left hand tightly, turned around and held the surrender with his right hand: "I will trade with you three of my classic masterpieces, so don't take it away!"
But who played Duan Tianya? He was the most popular TV actor in those years and the queen’s husband.
"This role can be regarded as a parallel male protagonist. There are many scenes, but the filming time is not long."
If you pick anyone in this lineup, they will be two or even three ranks higher than the current Han Zhou.
Luo Daming was a little confused and didn't hear clearly, so he said loudly: "Who farted?"
The first person to come over was actually Tang Zhou. As soon as he arrived, he immediately greeted Han Zhou: "Han Zhou, I have watched these two episodes of "Real Challenge" and you performed well."
The second male Duan Tianya: Wu Yue. The third female Liusheng Piaoxu: Zhao Ziyu. The fourth female Liusheng Xueji: Yang Jun.
Han Zhou loudly said: "There is a show!"
At the end of singing K, unexpected good news came.
Put out pen and paper and write on the spot.
Traffic A-list star Lu Jin.
Wu Yue said that when he spoke this time, the two of them would not ask for pay, but would just give them some meaning. As for the favor, they would pay it back later.
"Can't drink? Let's roll the dice. It's agreed that whoever loses will let Han Zhou write a song called "Train Go 2" and sing it."
Lin Xiaoxing rolled up his sleeves: "Who is afraid of whom?!"
Luo Daming took over the role of Tiedan Shenhou, Lu Jin took over the role of Emperor Zhengde, and Wang Mingyuan was 'coerced' by the two into taking the role of Cao Zhengchun.
Han Zhou laughed loudly: "Brother Tang, do you have any acting appointments recently?"
Han Zhou: "Because there is a high probability that it will win the title of the annual drama."
The only person not as popular as Han Zhou may be the has-been martial arts star Wu Li.
The scenes of multiple protagonists in "The Best of the World" are spread out, which is very convenient for shooting. After all, the specific shooting time can be adjusted to each other, and there is no need to follow the script to shoot shot by shot.
Soon Han Zhou was pulled over.
Wang Mingyuan snickered and pulled Lu Jin in front of him: "He said there is a play for you to play the emperor and asked if you are willing."
Han Zhou loudly said: "There is only one eunuch left!"
Luo Daming smiled evilly: "Oh, there is still a role of eunuch, I know, hehehe."
Chen Dayong, the contemporary Lu Bu, with the wine glass in hand, no one can be the enemy of the three!
At the end, except for the surrender, all the other men were carried out by Chen Dayong.
There was a quiet group at the scene, everyone was listening.
Han Zhou said he couldn't afford it.
Wang Mingyuan next to him burst out laughing.
At this time, Ye Manyi and Tang Zhou were chatting inside very reservedly.
Tang Zhou would not believe in any parallel male protagonist: "Supporting role? This can be considered..."
"hehe."
"What the hell? Are you interested in me? Why are you interested in me? What's going on?"
In fact, the reason is simple, because the original script was not like that at the beginning, and the script was later changed.
Lu Jin: "Me? Playing the role of emperor? I have never acted before!"
Han Zhou did some calculations and found that this film was actually the best in the world and took a long time to shoot.
The third male, Gui Hai Yi Dao: Tang and Zhou Dynasties. The second female, Shangguan Haitang: Ye Manyi.
As for Han Zhou himself, although he didn't drink much, he was still drunk.
Han Zhou was determined: "Tang Zhou said that if you act, he will reduce your pay for the role!"
"I'm going to chat with Brother Feng!"
Throughout the whole party, Han Zhou was pulled out to chat alone from time to time, talking about character positioning, shooting duration, shooting scene location, and required status.
"Are we going to start filming soon? Although my leg injury has healed, the doctor said I have to rest for at least a month."
Han Zhou: "I want to win the title of the annual drama. Now there are competitors, and I will probably get beaten tomorrow."
In those days when martial arts movies were still strong, Wu Yue also took care of many newcomers. Now that martial arts is in decline, Wu Yue has never been able to film. This time he can act in a martial arts TV series, and Wu Yue can use his sealed connections.
Wang Mingyuan slipped to another sofa at the speed of light and sat on it.
Not long after Tang Zhou entered, Ye Manyi walked over on high heels.
"Just one month!" Han Zhou: "But I don't have much money in my pocket."
"You have just come back to play the lead female lead in your first TV series. It is tiring and troublesome. Why not play the second female lead with more roles, or come back in the big drama of the year?"
If it weren't for the many branches of the main plot of the script, Han Zhou wouldn't have been able to assemble a super strong lineup to film this movie.
Fortunately, there are several single-line stories, so the number of episodes each character appears in is not that many.
Lin Xiaoxing slapped the table: "The train is about to leave and it's so nervous. The train is about to fly but it still won't take off?! Write it down and see!"
Wang Mingyuan: "???"
No one requested songs, so the music stopped.
Liu Yiling hid far away: "I don't think this is necessary!"
…
VIP entrance.
"Actually, it's them who acted in it, so it's the biggest drama of the year, right?"
This time I was able to catch up.
After Lu Jin got closer, he didn't hear clearly and felt a little strange: "Do I have any acting skills?"
Luo Daming: "???"
Han Zhou loudly said: "Yes, you play the emperor."
Rang Bing heard that he and Luo Daming had a love rival role, and he was also the father of Han Zhou's character, so he said that he would sing an interlude for free and would also participate.
So this TV series has become a three-way competition between the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Liu Yiling: "Let's sit farther away, lest the song "Big Truck, Drive Fast" suddenly comes out."
Ye Manyi laughed: "Singing karaoke during the Chinese New Year?"
Anyway, there is no way he could say that he took the role of Cao Zhengchun on his own initiative.
However, this is actually a good thing for Han Zhou.
After Ye Manyi also entered, An Lan slipped out.
"The second female lead won't act."
Han Zhou: "Tang Zhou is sitting inside right now, why should I fool you?!"
For example, my first time as a pimp... my first time as a matchmaker.
But! The filming time for each main character was not long.
She first heard from Tang Zhou about taking the role in "The Best in the World", and then heard from Ye Manyi about joining the cast.
However, Tianle's current top star in film and television is Ye Manyi, and there is no other actress of this caliber.
After all, they had filmed a movie together, even though it had only been three days, but Ye Manyi already knew that Han Zhou's brain circuitry could not be trusted. He may not have deliberately deceived him, but he definitely could not be trusted.
Tang Zhou was sure this time: "Is that so? Then I can take this role."
Because, the schedule of A-list celebrities is not so easy to control.
It would be best if there are popular actresses who can play these two positions. If not, we can only see if there is someone from Huaying or Wang Xiya who wants to step in.
It took Lu Jin five seconds to clearly read the lyrics and music of "The Train is Flying Fast", and he stretched out his hand: "Brother Daming, help me, quickly!"
If "World No. 1" fails this time, it will be impossible to recruit a lineup of this level next time by relying on friends.
Lu Jin: "I'm going to Kangkang."
Han Zhou knew that this time, in order to be number one in the world, he had already involved all his connections in the past six months.
Han Zhou: “That’s it!”
Tang Zhou raised his eyebrows, with uncontrollable joy between his eyebrows, and then pretended to be calm: "Ye Manyi?"
Ye Manyi raised her eyebrows: "Tang Zhou Dynasty? Annual drama?"
Who plays the role of Gui Hai Yi Dao? He is a super newcomer who is very popular in the Taiwan Strait.
"Who wants to sing "All the Way North" and have to sacrifice the time of a drama?" Wang Mingyuan agreed.
Luo Daming: "There is also a role of eunuch, do you want it?"
Luo Daming: "Will Brother Mingyuan come?"
If everyone from such a strong cast appears in every episode, the salary budget will explode. Even if some favors are brought in to appear as friendly actors, the wallet will be broken.
Chen Feng: "We roll the dice, and whoever loses will have Han Zhou write a song called "Train Go 2", and the loser will sing it!"
An Lan understood it all alone: "Tell Tang Zhou that he will act as Ye Manyi, tell Ye Manyi that if she plays Tang Zhou, she will act at a reduced salary, and tell them that what she is acting in is the biggest drama of the year."
"Interesting." Ye Manyi: "Are you trying to trick me?"
Rang Bing: "What? The song is too loud and I can't hear it clearly. You can just perform it and I won't join in the fun!"
Han Zhou: "There is no idea for Train 2, but there is a song for Train 2. How about it? Do you want it?"
Rang Bing: "That won't work. You said I don't have three classic masterpieces!"
Han Zhou is really writing songs.
It can be said that I was very lucky that I was able to cast all the roles, and there was no schedule conflict with anyone.
An Lan's head was full of questions, what does this bicycle have to do with it?
After waiting for a while, Bing Luo Daming and others came one after another.
Ye Manyi: "You mean, since I'm going to star opposite Tang Zhou, I have to lower my standards a little bit?"
If it weren't for the director's high profile, this movie might not have been able to be successfully filmed.
Han Zhou made a big move: "The person who plays the couple opposite you is Tang Zhou. This drama of mine is going to be named the biggest drama of the year."
Because many scenes are about the separation of the three male protagonists.
Moreover, the biggest celebrity in the TV drama market was originally invited to play Gu Santong. In order to give him the leading role, the script was adjusted and given several episodes.
But when Wu Li goes out, who among the younger generation in the film and television industry will not honestly call him "Brother Li" when they see him?
"I'm not interested in playing opposite Tang Zhou. For the sake of our friendship, I'll lower it a little."
Ye Manyi looked at Han Zhou and knew that Han Zhou was talking nonsense.
The iron gall god: Luo Daming. The ancient three links: surrender the troops.
Han Zhou: "The second female lead is positioned because the character is not a couple with the male lead, but the second female lead has as many roles as the first female lead, and the role is stronger and more challenging."
"Second female."
And the directing team is not a vegetarian. They used the extra episodes to make each character flesh-and-blood. In the end, there was even a debate about who was the protagonist.
Ye Manyi: "Really? That's not bad, but I have at most two months."
Because he was chatting outside all the time, Han Zhou was almost never in the box.
Han Zhou had not originally planned to give the role of Gu Santong to an acquaintance, but if the role was to be played by Qi Bing, Han Zhou could give him the role. Firstly, this role is the simplest among all the roles. Secondly, this role is indeed suitable for Qi Bing.
, make the image of the soldiers consistent.
Jean Bing came over and said, "Huh? You are going to act in the same play? Don't you want me to go?"
Tang Zhou shook his head: "After the injury, all the drama appointments have been postponed, and I haven't started to take them again."
After arriving at the bureau, Wu Li, who had been masturbating all the time from being hungry until his belly was full, said he would decide on these two roles.
At this time, Wei Yuan was singing on the stage, his voice was so loud that ghosts cried and wolves howled.
Han Zhou didn't hide anything, he told the truth.
Luo Daming shouted: "Can I bring my own stick?"
This character is just good, he is responsible for killing and burying, unlike Han Zhou.
Seeing that Tang Zhou was very hesitant, Han Zhou said: "Ye Manyi said you would play her, so you will play her. You two are a couple!"
The core figure of this game became Chen Dayong.
Wu Li went from being idle at home to starring in movies and then starring in TV series. He was grateful to Han Zhou in his heart, but asked him to name five, five, six, six, and he couldn't tell. But sometimes it depends on whether a person can get along with him or not.
It's not about how he says it, but how he does it.
"Martial arts drama." Han Zhou looked at Tang Zhou seriously.
Ye Manyi was confused: "Oh? The heroine?"
Several people gathered together to look at the score and lyrics.
And there is a second benefit.
Although Tang Zhou was a literary actor, he started acting in martial arts since his debut. Although he didn't know kung fu, he had no problem performing beautifully.
Luo Daming heard clearly: "Oh, he plays the emperor? Then what role do I play?"
Han Zhou just happened to speak loudly: "Whoever sings this song "All the Way North" will have to be a movie actor for free for me in the future, and will have to spend one million to buy it."
It's enough to be named an annual drama.
How many human factors are involved? You don’t even need to think about it. You can get the answer directly. It’s all human factors.
As for Rang Bing's acting skills not being able to perform, that is not a matter of Han Zhou, the organizer, but a matter of the future nominal assistant director who will actually be the executive director.
Although the two of them are not that kind of people, but a lonely man and a resentful woman, when they get together, their expressions cannot be squeezed together, how can there be any follow-up if they are not reserved?
Liu Yiling took An Lan's hand and said, "Look, there are four lunatics."
The original version only had one protagonist at the beginning, and that was Cheng Shifei.
Of course, this is also because Han Zhou has considered the schedule when selecting his actors. Busier ones like Wang Mingyuan and Lu Jin should be cast in roles with few roles, while roles like Tang Zhou Wu Yue should be directly assigned to those with more roles.
An Lan shook her head: "No, there are three lunatics, one of whom is mentally ill."
Han Zhou whispered: "I have a TV series."
"Whoever sings this song "Train Fast" can earn five million in advertising fees without having to buy the copyright."
Tang Zhou was confused: "Why do we need to review it?"
When filming a TV series, the pay is based on the number of episodes.
Han Zhou paid too much for "The Best in the World".
Will it be good to chat with Brother Feng?
Chen Feng and Lin Xiaoxing were playing dice.
Han Zhou shouted loudly: "Uncle!"
Lu Jin came over to take a look, but Chen Feng pressed him here: "Don't run away, just sing "The Train Goes Fast" if you lose the dice."
Han Zhou blocked Ye Manyi.
Ye Manyi smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed like crescent moons.
Han Zhou sat next to Luo Daming: "There is a show!"
"Brother Feng, let me go. Let alone make five million, let me go with five million!"
Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Piaoxu.
Although Ye Manyi and Tang Zhou are both in the industry, they are both first-line stars active on the small screen and have been famous for at least five years.
Luo Daming: "Oh, then we all have to rush to sing "The Train is Flying", right?"
One song is "All the Way North" and the other is "The Train is Flying Fast".
Han Zhou asked Chen Dayong to help greet Tang Zhou. Now there were Chen Dayong, Wei Yuan, and An Lan, and the others had not arrived yet.
Tang Zhou thought for a while: "A movie director comes to make TV series? Isn't it a pity?"
Han Zhou's overturn was mainly because he had a drink at noon, and now he is either numb or numb.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxing sneered: "Whoever is short of money, I want "All the Way North"."
Han Zhou loudly said: "There is a play! Will you come and give me a chance to play?!"
In addition, the cast also includes the King Chen Feng and the Queen Liu Yiling who have agreed to make a cameo.
Now that all the main characters have been finalized, there are only two characters left.
An Lan reacted: "Others are snatching this title and it started operating last year. You are just starting now. Can you come up with a lineup?"
Han Zhou covered An Lan's mouth: "What kind of bicycle do you want..."
Han Zhou's eyes lit up: "I have a role!"
Han Zhou: "It doesn't matter. My shooting period is three months. I have a relatively high-quality supporting actor who has a one-month role. The main reason is that the acting is quite difficult. Among the people I know, you are the only one who can play it."
For this kind of thing, Han Zhou would not give him a script. If he did, it would be a waste: "Brother Tang, the script is still there. I think it needs to be reviewed. I don't know if it will be changed."
Luo Daming shouted: "The balloon is leaking?"
The character framework of "The Best in the World" was basically finalized in one night.
Lu Jin came over and said, "I heard, there is a show."
Wu Yue called on the spot and booked two well-known actresses that Han Zhou had never thought of. Zhao Ziyu, a well-known actress who almost only makes movies, and Yang Jun, another of the four Xiaohuadans with Ye Manyi.
This lineup includes first-line actors, including top actor Wang Mingyuan, TV star Luo Daming, young TV star Tang Zhou, popular starlet Ye Manyi, popular starlet Yang Jun, and triple-gold-award-winning actress Zhao Ziyu.
Maybe there is another reason, because I am happy. After a few months in this circle, I changed my sincerity and finally made a lot of friends.
This also means that the pressure is even greater! If you cheat so many friends and seniors at once, just quit the industry in the future.
