After reading the script, Chen Yanyu and others were still immersed in the story and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
"How's it going, Sister Yu, do you think this script is okay?" Li Yi just took the initiative to ask: "If you think something is not good, you can put forward your opinions and let's discuss it together."
Before Chen Yanyu could speak, Xia Yaoting on the side raised her hands high. Li Yi gestured and she immediately said: "Brother Yi! You are so talented and versatile. You are both an actor and a director.
I can also write lyrics and music, my singing skills are top-notch, and now I can even do the job of screenwriting perfectly, so how can other people survive!"
Xia Yaoting's words made everyone laugh in unison. They couldn't help it anymore and praised Li Yi full of praise: "Brother Yi wrote this script really well!"
"Just reading this script, I have a strong sense of involvement. If Brother Yi directs and acts again, it will definitely be another classic!"
"The theme of Journey to the West has really been poorly filmed in recent years, but this script by Brother Yi is so different and refreshing!"
"I think if this drama is filmed, it will definitely be a hit~!"
"It only took less than a day for Brother Yi to write such a great script, which is simply amazing! With such speed of brain and hand, it would be a great pity for all readers in the world not to write online articles!"
"With such a good idea and such a good script, changing a single word would be like reading it! Let alone your opinions, we can't even make suggestions!"
"..."
Everyone looked excited and made noise for a while before finally quieting down at Chen Yanyu's signal.
"Li Yi, this script is really good!" Chen Yanyu's face also showed excitement and excitement, and she praised sincerely: "I think the same as everyone else. The script you wrote is already perfect and does not need any modifications.
We all support your new drama from the bottom of our hearts!"
Later, Chen Yanyu asked: "Do you have any plans regarding the arrangement of actors?"
Li Yi took out a handwritten list, handed it to Chen Yanyu, and said: "Sister Yu, look, this is the actor I chose for the main role!"
Chen Yanyu watched it carefully several times and saw that the actors above, including Uncle Da, were all capable actors with obvious acting skills. The roles assigned to them were all very suitable. She couldn't help but nodded in affirmation. Li Yi's
This arrangement is quite thoughtful!
"Okay, just follow this list and I will contact them one by one later!" Chen Yanyu said.
Li Yi also told her to select some actors within the company to play other outstanding supporting roles and arrange them as much as possible. Chen Yanyu also nodded and said that she would definitely do so.
Among the other actors present, many were not selected by the script that Li Yi rejected yesterday. Now that I heard that Li Yi will select some more people among them to be supporting roles in his new play, I am naturally very happy!
Although he is not like the lucky ones yesterday who can be the leading actor, it is still a great honor to be able to film with Li Yi, even if it is just an insignificant supporting role!
And everyone knows that if you play a supporting role in Li Yi's movie, you will receive more attention and have a higher chance of becoming famous than if you play the leading role in other movies, your chance of success will be much higher!
For a moment, those actors who were not selected yesterday were all very happy, and those actors who were selected to take on leading roles in several other dramas yesterday were actually quite envious of them!!
"What about the candidate for the heroine?" Chen Yanyu noticed that the name of the first female lead, Zixia Fairy, was not on the list, and the second female lead, Chun Shisanniang, was also vacant.
"Well..." Li Yi tapped his fingers on the table. In fact, after he went back yesterday to exchange the script for Westward Journey, he originally planned to give this role to Zhang Tianai.
But after Zhang Tianai read the script, she burst into tears and said that Fairy Zixia was too pitiful and her love was too tragic. She couldn't stand it just by reading the script, and she would definitely not be a good actress, so she flatly rejected her!
This makes Li Yi smile bitterly when he thinks about it now!
The Westward Journey movie, just by reading the script, I know that it will definitely become a big hit in the future, and the role of Zixia will definitely become a classic character in film history. Whoever takes over will definitely become popular!
This is an opportunity that many actresses can't dream of, and an honor that everyone wants to win, so Zhang Tianai has the confidence to refuse him!
Based on this alone, Zhang Tianai does have the confidence to be so willful!
While Li Yi was thinking about something, Zhang Min immediately looked at Li Yi with nervous and expectant eyes as soon as he heard that the heroine in this drama was still vacant.
Li Yi's previous promises to her and various signs indicate that he intends to make her famous!
Such a good script and such a good role would make any actress excited after reading it. Is Li Yi going to leave this role to her?
Soon, Li Yi came back to her senses and said to Chen Yanyu: "I don't have a clue about the candidates for the first female and second female roles. Let's leave it blank for now. During this time, I will go to Beijing Film Studio with Haifeng to look for it.
"
Chen Yanyu nodded, and Haifeng on the side heard Li Yi's words and realized that he was going to Beijing Film Academy to see the beauty, so naturally he couldn't be happier!
Everyone was very happy to hear Li Yi's various arrangements, except Zhang Min who looked extremely disappointed!
She originally thought that the role of Zixia Fairy was reserved for her. Even the role of Chuntu Sanniang was excellent. Although she did not blame Li Yi for not giving her such a good role, she could not help but feel disappointed in her heart.
If lost!
Maybe Brother Yi will have better arrangements for me, Zhang Min can only comfort herself in this way.
The meeting ended here, everyone dispersed, and Li Yi returned to his office to wait.
Soon, Chen Yanyu knocked on the door and came in, saying that everything had been contacted and arranged for him.
Uncle Da has collaborated with Li Yi several times, and he has a very good impression of Li Yi. Moreover, every drama he collaborates with Li Yi has become a hit, which has greatly increased his net worth.
So when I heard that Li Yi asked him to collaborate again, and it was a work written and directed by Li Yi, I happily agreed without saying a word!
Several other actors, when they heard that Li Yi wanted to film with them and that the roles given to them were quite important supporting roles, they were naturally very happy. Some of them even said directly when discussing the salary.
It doesn’t matter if you give more or less, or if you don’t give me any money!
After all, Li Yi's movies are always popular, especially Chong Ying, which he directed and starred in. He has frequently created miracles and made all the actors involved in the movie popular.
Most of them have a tepid career in the entertainment industry, so they feel very honored that Li Yi can film with them!
If this drama becomes popular by then, it will be an opportunity that no amount of money can buy!!
Of course, Li Yi is not the kind of person who takes advantage. He will definitely pay whatever amount is due.
Chen Yanyu also told him that Beiying had already contacted him on his behalf, and they naturally welcomed and attached great importance to the matter. They said they would notify him immediately and make corresponding arrangements, and Li Yi was welcome to come over at any time.
After everything was arranged, Li Yi, who always worked vigorously and resolutely, rushed to Beijing Film Academy with Qiu Haifeng the next day.
On the plane, Li Yi asked Qiu Haifeng: "Haifeng, you said you are so excited every time you go to Beijing Film Academy. You already have a wife."
Qiu Haifeng sighed and said speechlessly: "Stop talking, before we got married, when Xiaoting touched me, I got hard. Now when she touches me, my hair gets hard, so I'd better go and look outside more."
world."
Originally, Qiu Haifeng thought that this time he would go back to Hangzhou after choosing the role like before.
But what he didn't expect was that the casting this time was not smooth!
After Li Yi and Qiu Haifeng arrived at Beiying, they were naturally warmly welcomed by all the teachers and students of Beiying. At noon, the principal of Beiying personally accompanied them and treated Li Yi and the others to a meal.
In the afternoon, Li Yi and Qiu Haifeng came to the place arranged by the school and started screening.
Any actor who has participated in a movie related to Li Yi can become famous. This has become the consensus of many people in the industry.
Not only do many celebrities want to work with Li Yi, but for young actors, filming with Li Yiyi is a great opportunity!
Now, Li Yi is going to direct and act in a new drama. Although Li Yi did not reveal the type of the new drama, he just said that he would find two actors, which has already made the Beijing Film Academy students crazy!
Chen Yanyu must have not made it clear to the principal of Beijing Film Academy at that time, because when Li Yi arrived at the scene, he found that there were both male and female students who came to audition, and there were even many teachers at the school who were eager to try out, and almost the entire school was mobilized!
Li Yi had no choice but to explain to everyone on the spot that he was looking for the heroine and the second female lead for the new movie this time, so he only wanted women.
As soon as these words came out, the entire scene was filled with excitement!
The male students were naturally dejected. They only regretted that they were not girls and had no chance to audition. The female students were even more happy when they found out that the actor Li Yi was looking for this time actually took on such an important role.
Jumping and jumping!
"Wow! I thought it was just a supporting role, but I didn't expect it to be such an important role for a female lead and a second female lead!"
"Oh my god! If I become the heroine of Brother Yi's new drama, wouldn't I become famous immediately?"
"Just you? Pull her down! The heroine of Brother Yi's new drama is looking for someone like me. In terms of body shape, appearance, and temperament, I think she is better than you!"
"I don't know if there are many emotional scenes between the heroine and Brother Yi in this drama. It would be better if there were kissing scenes and sex scenes. In that case, as long as I can be selected, my whole life will be complete!"
"I don't know who will be the lucky one to be chosen as the heroine. I don't expect to be so lucky. If you can give me a second heroine, I will be very happy!"
"..."
Just the supporting roles were enough to make everyone excited. As soon as the news of the first female lead and second female lead came out, all the girls went crazy for it. They were so excited that many girls either touched up their makeup on the spot or hurried back to tidy up themselves carefully.
, strive to show the best condition and performance, and get Li Yi's choice!
You know, since Li Yi's debut, he has mostly filmed scenes with men. There are not many actresses who have acted with him, especially in emotional scenes, but every one of them has become a hit after working with Li Yi!
The most typical example is Zhang Tianai. As a pure newcomer, after cooperating with Li Yi on "The Princess's Promotion", her stardom has been bright, and now she is prosperous in the industry.
The late comers have gained the upper hand, and their fame is as good as that of the so-called Four Little Beauties!
Zhang Min, who was originally famous for being the leader of the Demon Cult in The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, although she had very few roles in God of Gamblers, has become the target of competition from major directors and variety shows. Even Zhang Min, the second female lead, has
Because of Li Yi, he got the coveted opportunity of countless people.
The on-site camp was very lively, with excitement and excitement written all over their faces. Many girls standing in the front row frequently made secret glances at Li Yi in an attempt to gain his favor!
The scene was noisy, and many girls even began to compete for the front seats, hoping to increase their chances of being selected. Qiu Haifeng, together with the principal of Beijing Film Academy, shouted several times before the scene returned to quiet and order!
All the female students from Beijing Film Academy gathered here, waiting in line and taking turns to come forward.
Because there were too many people, it would definitely not be enough to send them one by one for half a day, so Li Yi asked three or five of them to come forward together and try out the show at the same time.
The content of the audition was also very simple. They just asked them to give Li Yi a look and add a line: "The person I love is an unparalleled hero. Since God arranged for him to pull out my purple-green sword, he must be an extraordinary person."
You can’t go wrong with this person! One day he will come to marry me wearing golden armor and holy clothes and stepping on earth-colored auspicious clouds!"
Throughout the entire afternoon, Li Yi saw the performances of too many girls. Among them, there were many with good looks and acting skills, but their eyes and body always lacked the agility that Li Yi was looking for!
The first day passed like this. Not only did I not find the heroine I was looking for, but I also didn’t find the actor who would play the role of the second girl and the thirteenth girl.
Under the arrangement of the principal of Beijing Film Academy, Li Yi stayed in a nearby hotel and prepared to continue auditioning the remaining female students the next day.
That night, those female students who had already auditioned and were eliminated were all disappointed and sighed, while those who had not yet had a chance to audition were full of longing, with expectations for tomorrow written on their faces!
It's a pity that after all the female students from Beijing Film Academy auditioned for the role, the first and second female students who met Li Yi's standards were still not found.
Since he couldn't find it here at Beiying, Li Yi could only leave with Qiu Haifeng and go to other schools to look for him. The principal of Beiying was extremely regretful when he left!
Li Yi asked Chen Yanyu to contact Shangxi. After returning to Hangzhou, he went straight to Shangxi. They also welcomed Li Yi's arrival. The principal of Shangxi personally led the team and organized all the teachers and students of the school to greet him at the school gate!
However, after four days of screening, Li Yi still couldn't find a suitable actress.
Li Yi had a headache over this, and he even wanted to give up for a while.
The news that he was looking for a female lead for a new play has spread like wildfire throughout the industry. Many entertainment companies or individual actresses have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Li Yi's company, and Li Yi has also expressed their willingness to cooperate.
I saw them all one by one, but nothing satisfied him!
Just when Li Yi convened Chen Yanyu and others for a meeting again, he was having a headache because of this, and was about to go to other film schools with Qiu Haifeng to try, the phone in his pocket rang, and when he saw it, it was Wang Jin.
"Li Yi! I heard that you are having trouble finding a suitable heroine for your new play recently. You want to find an actress who is particularly agile, right? I happen to have a candidate who I would like to recommend to you!"
Wang Jin said straight to the point.
"Really? Do you have any photos and information? Send them to me first." Li Yi's voice seemed a little listless, and he did not seem excited by the news.
After all, in the past few days, countless people in the industry have introduced him to a bunch of actresses, praising them every time and saying how they meet the criteria he is looking for. However, each time he is more disappointed than expected.
!
"Hahahahaha, looking at photos and videos is so boring, I have asked her to go directly to your company to find you, and we will see you for the interview!"
"Counting the time, she should be arriving soon."
While Wang Jin was talking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the girl in charge of reception came in and told Li Yi that there was a girl outside who said she was introduced by Director Wang Jin to audition for him.
Li Yi asked her to bring the person over directly. Before he hung up the phone, the girl walked in quickly.
"It's you!!" Before the girl could open her mouth to introduce herself, Li Yi immediately slammed the table with excitement and said with a smile as soon as he saw her.
Both Chen Yanyu and the others, as well as the girl, were all shocked!
"What's your name?" Seeing that the other party seemed frightened by him, Li Yi quickly asked with a smile.
The girl looked quite nervous and scared. Qi Guang and Li Yi looked at each other, then quickly moved away, and replied in a lively manner: "Zhu...Zhu Yin."
