Superstars start as villains

Chapter 225 People are more popular than people.

Wang Kai can be said to be proud of the spring breeze recently. After the broadcast of "Langya Bang", the ratings of the whole network are very hot. With the outstanding performance of Mei Changsu, Brother Hu not only won the love of the audience, but also took off the label of idol star, and moved toward Acting actors have taken a solid step.

And Wang Kai, as the male number two in the play, is at the same time that the image of the heroic seventh prince also made him stand out. Although the previous [33 Days of Broken Love] was a big hit at the box office, the audience actually didn’t have much impression of Wang Kai. Like the sissy in Invincible Female, more feminine roles are not suitable for him.

And this time [Langya Bang] Xiao Jingyan's role completely highlighted his temperament, and even his few fans were surprised to find that he was so handsome in a drama.

"Sister Anli." This is not the first time Wang Kai has come to Anli's office, but this time Wang Kai is the most elated. Wang Kai has been very nervous before, and the company has poured a lot of resources into him, but he is still Little transparent one, if it wasn't for Anli's constant encouragement, he probably would have suspected that he would not have the potential to be popular.

Anli saw that Wang Kai's spirit was different, so he couldn't help but nodded with a smile: "Sit down, have you felt the joy of being a popular star recently?"

Wang Kai smiled embarrassingly: "Sister Anli, please don't embarrass me. It's all thanks to you that I am today."

Anli shook her head and said solemnly: "Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. It is up to you to seize the opportunity, but what height you can reach in the end actually depends on yourself."

"In this circle, I have seen too many artists who drive high and go low, and drive low and go high. The one who can finally stand at the top must be someone who works hard enough and is objective enough."

Wang Kai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Sister Anli, I."

Anli interrupted: "After so many years of hard work, I finally made it through. I can understand that the spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, but why do you refuse to participate in the base camp?"

Wang Kai lowered his head and felt aggrieved. The first time he participated in the base camp, it was for the promotion of "The Pretender". Because the coffee position was too low, he and Jin Dong could only appear in the support session, and they were hardly given much in the program lens.

Anli sighed after listening to Wang Kai's statement: "You should know that the base camp is currently the first-line publicity platform in China. This time, they called you to go. If you refuse, it may be difficult to get on in the future. This is what you do. It’s been a long time, and it’s normal to hold high and step down, didn’t Ah Xing grit his teeth and survive in Xiangjiang back then?”

Wang Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Anli, I understand that you are doing it for my own good, but I don't regret it."

"Okay, I respect your decision." Anli shook her head lightly, and couldn't help being a little funny. In the entertainment industry, I'm used to seeing artists who follow the crowd and let others knead them. It's really not good for someone like Wang Kai to have such a personality. more common.

In fact, Wang Kai was also panicking. It is not a trivial matter for an artist in the entertainment circle to refuse the announcement arranged by the company. Many celebrities and celebrities will inevitably be hidden, not to mention him as an artist who has just become a little famous?
Wang Kai looked at Anli nervously. He liked "Zhixing Film and Television" from the bottom of his heart. He had an agent who appreciated him, and a team of assistants who cooperated tacitly. Moreover, this was the place where his dream started.

"Is there anything else?" Anli asked curiously seeing that Wang Kai hadn't left.

Wang Kai gritted his teeth and asked, "Sister Anli, will the company hide me because of this?"

Seeing his serious expression, Anli couldn't help laughing out loud: "Xue Zang? Why? Just because you don't want to participate in a TV show?"

"Ah." Wang Kai nodded blankly.

Anli laughed so hard that tears almost came out: "Haha, you are too cute, aren't you? The company has finally made you popular, and at this time, it is hiding you. Isn't the previous investment in vain? Tell you, the company spent on you Every penny has to be earned ten times and a hundred times, if you push an announcement, I will add two announcements for you, there is no way to rest.”

Wang Kai was overjoyed when he heard that, and nodded again and again: "Plus, you can add it as you like, except for the base camp, I have no objection to any program you add."

"Is there anything else? If it's nothing, get out and make money for the company." Anli scolded with a smile.

Wang Kai quickly stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Anli again, Wang Kai turned around with a bitter face: "Sister Anli, you don't mean to change your mind?"

Anli gave him an annoyed look, and patted his head: "I was almost confused by your anger, hey, this is a new project that the company is preparing recently, you can take a look, I can help you fight for which role you want, But whether you can win the role depends on your performance in the audition."

Wang Kai accepted the script in surprise, bowed to Anli happily, and then ran away in a hurry.

"This kid."

Wang Kai was completely relieved now, if the company wanted to hide him, it would definitely not arrange work for him at this juncture and return to his apartment.

"Ode to Joy?"

[Ode to Joy] As the next big project of "Zhixing Film and Television", there are naturally a lot of people staring at it. Since the first trial of the script, almost all the female artists in the company have started to use various methods to inquire about news.

It’s not easy being a female star. For popular TV dramas like “The Legend of Zhen Huan”, only Sun Li and Jiang Qin became popular. Although the TV drama market has gradually increased in young audiences over the years, it still hasn’t gotten rid of the situation of relying on middle-aged women to support the ratings. So male actors have much more opportunities than female actors.

Generally, a TV series has a male lead and a male lead, but the female lead is not necessarily the case, maybe it is a dispensable role.

[Ode to Joy] The reason why the company's female artists have attracted so much attention is that there are five female characters in this play, and all of them are full of roles. That is to say, if the performance is good, it may be popular. The company's female artists are naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

In fact, when the adaptation rights of "Ode to Joy" were purchased, it caused controversy within the company. After all, it was definitely the first time in the industry that five colorful female characters were arranged in a play.

Although the length of a TV series is not as short as a movie, a character needs to be portrayed through many stories to become flesh and blood. Once there are too many characters, the audience's attention will be easily distracted, and the requirements for the script and actors will be much higher.

Generally speaking, this is a thankless task. Generally, there are two or three protagonists in TV dramas, and the other supporting roles revolve around the protagonist. The audience does not need to remember the complicated relationship between the characters.

In the field of drama, group play is the most difficult to perform.

What's more, setting five heroines means that a corresponding male lead must also be set. Otherwise, what would the audience watch for an urban drama?

But later, after an internal meeting, it was finally decided to purchase the adaptation rights of "Ode to Joy". After the acquisition, the screenwriter team has been adapting the novel. It took six months, and the script was changed several times, and finally passed. First review.

Yang Zi has also gained some resources since joining "Zhixing Film and Television", but she still can't get rid of the label of child star, and the audience doesn't approve of her performance. Her performance in "Battle of Changsha" is actually quite good, but Still did not cause much trouble, in the eyes of the audience, she is still the national girl "Xiaoxue".

"Yang Zi, all the female artists in the company are crazy now, why are you silent?" the manager asked anxiously.

Yang Zi sighed: "So what if I get the role? Maybe I'm not suitable for acting at all. No matter how I act, the audience will only see the shadow of me when I was a child."

The agent froze for a moment, then patted Yang Zi on the shoulder: "You lost confidence? Want to give up? Then why did you do this job in the first place? Just because you did it when you were young?"

Yang Zi shook her upper lip, yes, why did she go to art school and want to be an actor?Just because I acted in a play when I was a child?

Suddenly Yang Zi was shocked: "Yes, I am acting now not because I was a child star before, but because I like acting, the characters in the play, and experience another life!"

The agent smiled happily: "That's right, this is the script of [Ode to Joy], you should read it first, which character you like, put more thought into it, take it down, you have to appear on the screen and the audience will I can see your change."

"Ah."

[Ode to Joy] After the project was established, not only the female artists in the company stared at it, but even many brokerage companies in the circle were moved. Li Xue and Wang Jinghua all called Zhou Xing. If it weren't for their phone call, Zhou Xing I really don't know, it turns out that the resources of female artists in the circle have become so scarce.

"[Ode to Joy] How is the casting for this project going?"

At the meeting, Zhou Xing asked, and everyone looked at Gao Qunshu.

Gao Qunshu shook his head: "Not too good, most of the company's female artists have participated in the audition, and the only one who meets Director Chen's requirements is Yang Zi."

"Oh? Yang Zi? Is it Guan Juer?" Zhou Xing asked curiously.

"No, it's Qiu Yingying."

"Qiu Yingying?" Zhou Xing was a little surprised by this answer. Yang Zi's impression has always been that kind of cute and cute. It stands to reason that she is more suitable for Guan Ju'er's personality, but he didn't expect to find another way. Trial play Qiu Yingying, is this determined to transform?
Seeing Zhou Xing looking at him, Chen Mingzhang nodded, indicating that Yang Zi was qualified for the role.

Zhou Xing didn't say anything when he saw this, and the matter was settled.

"Sister Anli, are there any female artists in the company who haven't auditioned?" Zhou Xing didn't expect the resources of female artists to be so scarce.

Anli said: "Wang Zhi is the only one who didn't audition."

"Wang Zhi? Is she not interested in this drama?" Zhou Xing asked doubtfully.

Anli shook her head: "Isn't she busy filming [囧Hong Kong] recently?"

It was only then that Zhou Xing remembered that after "Slaying the Wolf 2", Wang Zhi was put into the crew of "囧囧 in Hong Kong" to play Yang Yi, the role of Xu Lai's first love.

"Yang Yi doesn't have many roles in total. Let her take the time to read the script, and Director Chen will try it out remotely to see how she plays Guan Juer. Of course, it's up to Director Chen to decide whether it works or not. I'm just a suggestion." Zhou Xing was a little scratching his head. There were five heroines in one play, but his company only got two of them, and they were all with relatively few roles.

Chen Mingzhang nodded. If he was in another company, he would have agreed without saying a word. After all, the boss had spoken, but after working in "Zhixing Film and Television" for so many years, he also understood Zhou Xing's temper. That’s all, what’s more, the company adopts a floating salary system, that is, everyone’s salary is not high at ordinary times. Whether they can make money depends entirely on the project. If the project makes money, everyone can get a generous bonus. Yes, there is no dime, and there is still a summary meeting to summarize the problems in front of all project teams.

It can be said that the project team, from the producer to the outreach workers, is closely watching every project. Even if he wants to release water, other people will protest. After all, it is related to the interests of everyone in the project team.

"Director Chen, for the other three roles, do you have any suitable actors in your mind? You can communicate with Anli. It's best to sign with the company, so the fat will not flow to outsiders."

After Zhou Xing finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the meeting room.

Chen Mingzhang frowned slightly: "For the role of Andy, I think Li Xiaoran and Wang Likun's image and temperament are more in line, Qu Xiaoxiao. In fact, I think the new Chen Yao signed by our company is good, but I don't know if the schedule can catch up. Fan Shengmei Jiang Chin is really suitable for this role.”

Anli frowned slightly: "Chen Yao is filming [Big Time] and it should be finished by the end of next month, so I can catch up, but Director Chen is sure that her image and temperament are suitable for the role of Qu Xiaoxiao?"

Zhou Xing also looked at Chen Mingzhang suspiciously. "Wuxin Master" is currently on the air, and Chen Yao's image of Yue Qiluo's dark lolita can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I don't know where Chen Mingzhang knows that she is suitable for Qu Xiaoxiao.

Chen Mingzhang said: "There is no basis, it's just a feeling. Sister Anli might as well send her the script to see what she thinks."

On the other side, Chen Yao was chatting with Han Dongjun on the production team of "Good Time". They were very familiar with each other when they were in "Tang People", and they filmed two movies together, so they naturally became friends.

"Hey, I was still the number one male in the last play, and you were the second female number one. In the end, in another play, you succeeded as the first female number one, and I actually became the third male number one." Han Dongjun was full of envy in his words.

Chen Yao smiled and took a sip from assistant Zhang Qian's water glass: "Don't talk about you, actually in the crew of [Wuxin Master], when you said that the male lead in the next play [Big Time] is Brother Hu, I was stunned." .”

"Oh, if I knew that Zhixing Film and Television is so powerful, I would"

While talking, assistant Zhang Qian took another document and handed it to Chen Yao: "The company just faxed it over and asked you to take a look."

"What? The contract? It's so thick." Han Dongjun asked curiously.

Chen Yao opened it and saw that it was actually a script, so he looked at Zhang Qian in surprise.

Zhang Qian shrugged: "Sister Anli said, Director Chen thinks your image and temperament are more suitable for the role of Qu Xiaoxiao, so let you read the script first."

Han Dongjun suddenly made a movement of stabbing his chest with a knife. What is it that makes people more angry than others?
