Shen Teng was not the only one to have this question. When the news that he became the leading male lead in Zuo Le's new movie spread within the company, many Shanhe internal employees had this question in their minds.
No group can do without seniority, and Shanhe is no exception.
Even under Zuo Le's intentional suppression and restrictions, there are not many such trends in Shanhe, but they are not absent.
In particular, Zuo Le's works are now becoming more and more brilliant. The leading actors in his new works, especially the male and female protagonists, are being watched by countless people. Within Shanhe, they are also a must-have for major artists and military strategists.
Not to mention, starting from "Magic Phone", the casting of male and female protagonists in each of Zuo Le's works is based on his personal choice, but there is also a certain amount of game and compromise behind it.
The male and female protagonists of "Magic Mobile" are Mao Xiao and Shui Miaomiao. Mao is an old man with great experience in Shanhe, and he has the support of Yan Ni, Sha Yi and other literary and art departments. In addition, he has never been the first male protagonist, so it is natural for him to rise to the top.
Qishui is not as well-connected as Mao Xiao, but she is Zuo Le's favorite, and her reputation is second only to Yan Ni among female artists.
At that time, Zhang Jiajia was the second female lead, Yin Li went to be the female lead in "Don't Talk to Strangers", and Shui Miaomiao successfully won the female lead.
When filming "Bright Sword", the male lead was the new TV King Li Youbin, a well-deserved Qianglong, and he had an old relationship with Zuo Le, so male artists from Shanhe could not compete with him.
The heroine Yan Ni, not to mention the first lady in the company, and the other heroine Wan Qian are not very qualified, but they have the support of the boss lady.
In addition, Shui Miaomiao and the others were preparing for "Seven Swords 2" at the time, so they couldn't spare any time, so Wan Qian could only take advantage of it.
When it comes to the movie "Wulin Gaiden", this has been decided by the original team and cannot be changed. Besides, these people include more than half of the key artists of the country, so they can't compete.
Until now, Zuo Le was preparing for a new movie, and everyone was gearing up to decide who would win, but before the war started, Zuo Le had already decided on the person.
And it's not the big guys like Gu Xiaoge, Yu Entai, Sha Yi, etc. that everyone expected, but Shen Teng, who is ranked in the middle.
Shen Teng suddenly became popular within Shanhe.
Many people looked on with cold eyes, but more people came to get close to him.
Gu Xiaoge, Sha Yi, and Mao Xiao will soon start their own business. The only first-line actors left in Shanhe are Entai and Fan Min.
Some people have speculated before that Zuo Le is likely to promote a newcomer to the position in the next step. Now it seems that Shen Teng is the lucky one.
However, no one expected Zuo Le to move so quickly and take such big steps.
Everyone thought that newcomers would rise to the top in a step-by-step manner. They would first be male protagonists in Kong, Gao and Xue's TV series twice to accumulate fame and qualifications, and then naturally become the male protagonists of Zuo Le's works and hit the front line.
As a result, the current process is simply ignored, and Shen Teng reaches the sky in one step!
This statement is actually a bit biased. Shen Teng is not a pure newcomer.
He is the number one male protagonist in both the "College Student's Story 2" series and has accumulated a lot of popularity. In terms of popularity, Shen Teng can also be ranked as a second-tier artist.
However, because the "Stories of College Students" series has a low presence within Shanhe, it has been ignored intentionally or unintentionally by everyone at Cha Lemon.
You have become the male lead in Chairman's new work, what's wrong with us...
Shen Teng also understood everyone's grievances and pretended to be ostrich. Every day he either practiced singing or went to get a beauty treatment. There was no need and he almost never came to the company.
Two days later, Cen Kun confirmed that he had won the second male lead in Zuo Le's new film, and shared some of his firepower with him.
No matter what Shen Teng said, Li Fanda, a popular character, could still take action.
As for Cen Kun, to be honest, although he has played many important roles, he has not convinced the public. With the development of his career, his appearance is better than his acting skills.
Well, the most important thing is that this guy is too handsome and makes people hate him. He was not popular to begin with, but now he has such a good resource.
Compared with him, Shen Teng is not so jealous...
………
After deciding on the male lead and the second lead, Zuo Le stopped making any noise for a while. Instead, he often went to the screenwriter. It was said that he was working on the script unexpectedly.
Just because he didn't move doesn't mean everyone is silent.
Especially for female artists, the heroine of the new movie has not yet been decided. At this juncture when they are competing to be the first lady in the world, no one will let go of this good opportunity.
As a result, major female artists and their managers began to try their best to obtain information about Zuo Le's new movie.
Shen Teng and Cen Kun, who have already confirmed their roles, as well as the screenwriting department who holds the script, are their key targets for penetration.
Shen Teng and Cen Kun finally got this good opportunity, but it's too late to cherish it. Why are they willing to commit suicide? They are so strict in their words.
On the other hand, in the screenwriting department, there were two young people who were struggling with beauty issues and did not stick to the bottom line.
Of course, the script is of great importance, and everyone in the screenwriting department has signed a confidentiality agreement. If anyone leaks the contents of the script, the company can pursue criminal liability.
The two young screenwriters didn't dare to joke about their wealth and future, so they just let a little air out.
There are three female characters in the new movie, one of whom is a middle-aged mother who is considered a supporting role, and the other two are a female and a second female.
The screenwriter also expressed in a subtle way that the first female lead is not a regular female lead and may not be suitable for many people, so he suggested focusing on the second female lead.
The female artist who got the news immediately started her own actions, while the female artist who didn't know the truth was still working hard for the heroine, but soon Zuo Le gave up everyone's thoughts.
The heroine of the new movie still chooses Yan Ni, the first sister of the company.
This result made many people dissatisfied. After all, Yan Ni was about to start her own business, and she was not completely one of Shanhe's own.
Besides, Yan Ni is almost no longer a sister, and she still wants to snatch the opportunity of the people below her before she leaves. It's so unethical.
In fact, if it were normal, if the role was gone, it would be gone, and it would be over with just a few words, and no one would be so entangled. But now is the time to compete for the top sister in the company, and all the major female artists are more sensitive.
As a result, everyone argued for a long time, and finally the peach was picked by someone who was already determined to be "out". Who can bear this?
The people were so angry that they even alarmed Zuo Le, who personally came forward to explain.
First, although Yan Ni left on her own, she was still affiliated with Shanhe, and she was still her own person. There is no such thing as leaving to go her own way.
Second, choosing Yan Ni as the heroine was mainly because the character image was consistent. Even if Yan Ni was not chosen, the other women would not be suitable.
Zuo Le's prestige in the mountains and rivers cannot be established. As soon as he speaks, the matter will be settled and no one will dare to attack.
The smart woman immediately turned around and grabbed the remaining second female lead. In the end, Shui Miaomiao won the final victory.
On September 12, 2021, the movie "Wulin Gaiden" was officially released, with a final box office of 1.27543 billion and a Douhua score of 8.2.
On the same day, Sunward officially announced that Zuo Le's new movie "Charlotte Trouble" has been officially approved, and the following actors' roles have been confirmed.
