"Want me to give you some advice?" Zhang Zhong said in surprise.
He knew what Wen Jinjiang was thinking, and the literary director probably thought that as the original author, he should have his own ideas about the characters.
In fact, Zhang Zhong does have his own ideas.
But the problem is that although he has ideas, he knows nothing about the entertainment industry.
In the early years, at least seven or eight years ago, he did pay attention to entertainment stars at that time, but after so many years, the world has changed, and he doesn't even know a few actors who are active on the screen now.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking for your opinion, not asking you to choose a casting director for me. I've already made my own decisions about some of them, but there are a few that I'm still hesitant about. I'll draw up a list later and send them photos and
I’ll show you the information and don’t ask you to choose, just tell me what you think.” Wen Jinjiang said.
Zhang Zhong was still a little confused, "To be honest, this is a bit of a useless effort. Maybe I don't even know the person you want to choose, and I can't even tell you my thoughts."
Wen Jinjiang laughed and said, "Isn't there some information? If you help me, we can treat it as after-sales service."
Zhang Zhong's expression froze. This was the first time he knew that being a screenwriter had after-sales service.
"Okay, I'll take a look later." Zhang Zhong agreed.
"Okay, then I'll say thank you in advance and we'll talk later."
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Well, I will send you the script later."
"OK."
…
Before Zhang Zhong's script was sent to Wen Jinjiang's mailbox, he received an email from Wen Jinjiang.
When I clicked on the email, it was full of information about the actors.
The information provided by Wen Jinjiang is for three roles in total, namely a judge, a female teacher and a mercenary.
These three characters are relatively important characters in the book. It can be seen intuitively from the order of death. Needless to say, the judge is both the mastermind behind the scenes and the last to die, while the female teacher and mercenary are respectively
The second to last and the third to die.
For the three roles, Wen Jinjiang sent information on seven people, including three candidates for female teachers, two each for judges and mercenaries.
Zhang Zhong knew two of these seven people, and they were all candidates for the role of judge. After all, they were older and Zhang Zhong had paid attention to them before.
Zhang Zhong looked around the information but couldn't find any clues. The information all introduced their previous acting careers, what movies or TV series they had acted in, and what roles they had played, but Zhang Zhong had never seen most of these.
So he could only choose one based on his first impression, and then sent the name to Wen Jinjiang.
Wen Jinjiang didn't ask him the reason for choosing the person, but just replied: OK.
After Zhang Zhong finished handling Wen Jinjiang's errands, he first sent the script of "Ten Little Indian Boys" to Wen Jinjiang, and then called Lin Lin to ask about the publication status of "The Snowman".
Lin Lin said that everything is normal and "The Snowman" will appear in major bookstores in two weeks.
The official release date of "Snowman" is set on May 1st, which is also a day when new books gather. As we already know, Liang Yong's "Flying Snow 3" and Zhuo Wen's "Water Country Wilderness" are both scheduled to be released on May 1st.
Coincidentally, when "Jieyou Grocery Store" was released last year, I happened to meet Liang Yong and Zhuo Wen. Unexpectedly, the three of them met again in May this year.
However, more than half a year has passed, and the situation today is completely different from last year.
Last year, Zhang Zhong's new book was sandwiched among the big guys, like an ant that could be crushed to death at any time. But this year, no one dares to underestimate Zhang Zhong. After all, "Jie You" surpassed the other two last year.
of new book sales.
The most important thing is that on May 1st, Zhang Zhong not only had one book on the shelves, but in addition to "The Snowman", there was also "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood".
Zhang Zhong's two books competed against each other at the same time, and everyone was not very optimistic about the sales of "Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller". Although "Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller" was well received when it came out, and it also attracted the attention of many bigwigs.
But this is, after all, a serious piece of literature with a heavy theme.
Zhang Zhong himself had the same idea as others. He felt that the sales volume of "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" could not be compared to "The Snowman".

On Saturday night, Zhang Zhong and his family went to Wu Aiying's house, and Li Zhuo cooked a big meal for them.
It was originally just a dinner party for two families, but there was an unfamiliar face on the table.
And this face, Zhang Zhong had seen before, was Li Yan's classmate Fang Qiong.
At first, Zhang Zhong didn't take it seriously when he saw Fang Qiong. He just felt that Li Yan had a good relationship with her, and she brought someone to her home for such an intimate family dinner.
But then something incredible happened to Zhang Zhong. During the meal, Li Zhuo actually served Fang Qiong some food.
Wu Aiying, on the other hand, looked at her daughter-in-law and kept staring at Fang Qiong.
Zhang Zhong is a little confused. Is the world changing so fast?
In his opinion, Fang Qiong and Zhang Zhong should be from completely different worlds. One is a sophomore in college, and the other is an old man who has been involved in society for several years.
Zhang Zhong didn't speak during the meal. It wasn't until after the meal that several elders gathered around Fang Qiong asking questions, while Li Zhuo took Zhang Zhong to his room.
As soon as he entered the room and closed the door, Zhang Zhong stared at Li Zhuo with a scrutinizing gaze, and finally said with a smile, "You guy, you can do it."
Li Zhuo rubbed his palms and chuckled, "Love comes so fast, like a tornado, and I was caught off guard."
"Have you known her for a long time?"
"No, we just had a meal together when we went to Xiaoyan's school last time."
"That's it? You two are together?"
"This is called love at first sight. Let's not talk about it for now. I asked you to come in because I have two things to tell you." Li Zhuo's expression suddenly became serious.
Zhang Zhong also retracted his smile, nodded and said, "You say."
Li Zhuo thought for a while and said, "I have thought about what you told me last time. Although my company is still making profits, it is dying slowly and will not be able to continue working sooner or later. So, brother, my future will be
It’s up to you.”
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "Don't say that. You are here to help me, and there is no one who relies on the other. In this case, I will talk to Chen Qing later and ask him to contact you. You two can talk about the specific matters. But
Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly.”
"Of course I'm relieved about this."
"Well, you just said you have two things to tell me. Besides this, what else is there?" Zhang Zhong asked.
Li Zhuo rubbed his palms together again, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. Zhang Zhong looked at his face and marveled, it was rare for this guy to have a face like a city wall and be embarrassed sometimes.
"Hey, isn't it your sister-in-law? She prefers to read your books, so I thought if you could sign all your books and I would give her a set."
Zhang Zhong's mouth twitched and he gave Li Zhuo a thumbs up, "I'm convinced."
