I originally thought that this role vacancy would be easy to fill, but in reality it was far from that simple.
After the crew of "Mood Inn" announced the termination of Yang Ziyan's contract, producer Li Shushuang was already looking for a suitable candidate everywhere, but the news that came back was worrying.
If you meet the conditions, there will be no schedule.
Those with a schedule are not eligible.
Those who have the schedule and meet the conditions either don't like the eight million investment and the small salary, or they are afraid of the king of bad movies and refuse to take the role of "Mood Inn".
Especially when the rumor came out from nowhere that the Eight Bears planned to ban the female celebrity who came to the rescue during the National Day, now no one was willing to go.
No matter whether this rumor is true or not, as the saying goes, it is always right to be cautious.
So the crew of "Mood Inn" contacted no less than ten female stars, but in the end, none of them came.
"Otherwise, we can just find a second-string actor." Hai Dapang is the least concerned about this matter. In his opinion, as long as he has the script of "Late Summer", then the movie will definitely become a hit.
Don't ask him why he is so sure.
Two words: Superstition!
The superstitious Hai Dapang always attributes his failure to a bad script, believing that as long as he gets a good script, he will be able to make a comeback.
As for whether Mu Xia's script is good or not, others can doubt it, but he cannot.
Who told him that his only successful movie was produced by "Mr. Late Summer"?
"You can, but you may not be able to master this role." Producer Li Shushu frowned and said.
This film is invested by Yihe Film and Television Entertainment Company. As the general manager of Yihe, he naturally hopes that "Mood Inn" can be successful and bring huge profits to Yihe.
Li Youqing sat beside her and remained silent. Speaking of which, she was just a heroine. It was best not to say anything about recruiting actors like this.
"What's so difficult about this role? I'd say an ordinary person can play it." Hai Dapang couldn't deny it. Just then, a figure appeared in his sight. He quickly stood up and greeted: "Liangliang sister, can you come over?
How about a moment?"
Liangliang, who was holding two apples to wash, was stunned when he heard this and walked towards them.
"Is something wrong?"
Fatty Hai chuckled and asked, "Liang Liang, are you interested in making a movie?"
Making a movie?
Hearing this, Liangliang glanced at Li Youqing subconsciously, shook her head and said, "My brother doesn't like his family members being involved in the entertainment industry."
Li Youqing raised his eyebrows and glared at Liang Liang.
Not to be outdone, Liangliang glared back at Li Youqing.
Fat Fatty Hai and Li Shushu looked at this scene and suddenly looked at each other.
"Do you feel it?"
"It's completely natural!"
…
Jiang Bei was lying on a rocking chair, with peanuts and two bottles of beer on the small bench next to him.
Um.
After his first breakthrough yesterday, he decided to take a new step today, from one bottle of beer per day to one and a half bottles per day!
After a few days, I will get used to this amount of alcohol and then increase it. I will try to upgrade it to a massive amount when the movie is finished, so that I can get Li Youqing drunk and complete the last step of the wedding night.
Don't say it yet.
When a person is happy, even the taste of wine tastes much better. Paired with a plate of peanuts, it just looks like the leisurely life of a household with ten thousand yuan in the old days.
Of course, being happy won't last long.
Especially when he saw Fat Fatty Hai and his entourage walking over with Zhang Jiuliang, and the expression on the gambling king's face that he wanted to refuse but still wanted to welcome them, Jiang Bei immediately realized that something big was about to happen.
As expected.
When Fat Fatty Hai told him that he wanted Zhang Jiuliang to play the second female lead, he immediately shook his head with a sullen face: "No!"
Are you kidding me?
Originally, Li Youqing's entry into the entertainment industry had already made things difficult for him. Now that Zhang Jiuliang is involved again, will this life continue?
"Mr. Jiang, I think Liang Liang and Youyou are very suitable for the characters of the two heroines. If they are cast, they will definitely add a lot of points to the film!"
"Yes, Mr. Jiang..."
Hai Dapang and Li Shushuang also tried to persuade Jiangbei, but obviously the effect was not great.
Liangliang stood back and said nothing, with no big emotion on her face. After all, her family knew about her family affairs, and it was basically impossible for her brother to agree to her acting.
It's a pity that I couldn't get a salary of 200,000 yuan.
Two hundred thousand belongs to you!
It’s been a long time since I’ve played a poker game worth 200,000 yuan…
Li Youqing, who was following from the other side, held his chin, his eyes thoughtful.
Now no one in her family supports her in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, which is equivalent to fighting alone.
But if you can get Liang Liang into the entertainment industry, it will be equivalent to having an ally around you.
And the benefits brought by allies are not only to share the pressure with her, but they may also help change Jiangbei's mind and carry out a wave of 'bombing and instigating rebellion'. If they can successfully instigate rebellion, then if they want to conquer her parents,
The side is even more of a piece of cake.
Even if there is no way to successfully instigate rebellion, it will still be a sure profit for her.
Thinking of this, Li Youqing said: "How about I persuade him?"
Big Fatty Hai and Li Shushuo looked at each other and immediately said hello and ran away.
Even Liangliang realized that something bad might happen, so she took the apple and left: "I'll wash the apple off."
"You don't need to persuade me, this matter is impossible." Jiangbei didn't know that Li Youqing wanted to be a lobbyist? But there is no room for negotiation in this matter.
Li Youqing walked to the armrest of the rocking chair and sat down slightly, picked up a peanut and put it into her mouth, saying: "Liangliang just wants to make some money, and she has no intention of entering the entertainment industry. And you are not so naive as to think that
Just acting in any role counts as entering the entertainment industry, right?"
"You also want her to participate in the show?" Jiang Bei asked doubtfully.
"I don't want her to participate in the show, I just want her to help save the scene." Li Youqing subconsciously fiddled with the strands of hair beside her ears and said.
Jiang Bei narrowed his eyes slightly. Normally, it would be unnatural for a woman to make such an action.
In other words, Li Youqing's intention was more than that.
But why would she do this?
Is it just hoping that someone can come to the rescue?
not necessarily.
At least if you really want to break the pot, you can just fill the gap by hiring a female supporting actor.
Or...she plans to bring Liangliang into the entertainment industry?
Yes.
It must be for this reason that I want to influence my own ideas by leading people around me to enter the entertainment industry, so that I can no longer resist her joining the entertainment industry!
This girl is very thoughtful...
"You can find anyone for the rescue, but why do you have to find Liangliang?" Jiang Bei asked calmly.
"Then there are 200,000 yuan of salary sitting there, and we have to earn it if we have the chance! We can't give it to others cheaply, right?"
When it comes to money, Li Youqing has an expression that regards wealth as his life. He clasped his fingers and muttered: "It's not easy to make money now. You don't know that I used to be a bit player. Sometimes I can meet a bit player who has lines."
Fortunately, I can earn a few hundred yuan a day; but if I'm unlucky and play a corpse villager or something, I won't even earn a hundred yuan a day."
"Why are you mentioning your past career as a sidekick again?" Jiang Bei asked speechlessly. He had heard these glorious deeds eight hundred times.
Li Youqing glared at him and said: "I'm telling you that making money is not easy. If you have money, we have to make it. And Liangliang is so old, and he doesn't have any savings, but how much you give seems like charity.
, she must be embarrassed to ask for it herself. Now there is an opportunity to earn 200,000 yuan in front of her, which can be obtained through her efforts, do you think you have the nerve to restrain her? "
"I didn't expect you to care about Liangliang." Jiang Bei said with a half-smile.
Li Youqing sighed softly when he heard this, looked at Liang Liang who was washing apples in the distance, and said: "Although I don't like her gambling, after all, she is your sister, and she is also my sister. Why don't you care about her?"
This is what I said.
Even though he knew the purpose of taking her away, Jiang Bei still felt very happy after hearing this, and subconsciously reached out to put his arm around her waist.
The latter's body suddenly stiffened, but surprisingly he did not run away.
Has the relationship deepened to the point where we can cuddle?
If that's the case, it's not far from sleeping in the same bed!
My heart was filled with joy, but my hands did not stop, enjoying the rare happiness.
Li Youqing was actually blushing with embarrassment. Fortunately, he had Jiang Bei on his back, otherwise he would have run away at this time.
She was also a little flustered by Jiang Bei's sudden arrogance, but thinking that she could successfully complete her plan to rebel against Liang Liang, she hesitated and decided to let this fool take advantage, and treated it as a honey trap.
"What do you think of what I said...?" Li Youqing grabbed the big hands with both hands and asked with his head lowered.
"Well, not bad." Jiang Bei looked like he was enjoying it.
"Does that mean you agreed to let Liangliang participate in the show?" Li Youqing asked in pursuit of victory.
"Um……"
At this time, Jiangbei had lost himself and turned into a coward.
"Whoosh~"
As soon as he said this word, Li Youqing broke away and ran away, leaving only one sentence: "You promised, but you can't go back on it."
have to!
He ran pretty fast.
Jiang Bei touched his chin, his eyes became clear again, and he showed a confident smile.
"You still don't understand why the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows..."
…
Five minutes later, Liangliang ran over and asked: "Brother, sister-in-law said you agreed to let me play the second female lead?"
"It's your sister-in-law who wants you to play this role." Jiang Bei replied, stroking his chin.
"Why?" Liangliang asked, tilting his head.
"She wants to instigate you and drag you into the entertainment industry to reduce her own pressure."
"Then I'll reject them and stop acting." After hearing this, Liangliang turned around and went to express her intention to Big Fatty Hai and the others.
"No need." Jiang Bei shook his head, looked up at the blue sky, squinted his eyes and said, "I suddenly feel that it is actually quite good for you to accept this drama."
"Brother, what do you mean..." Liangliang asked doubtfully.
