An investment of eight million is definitely considered a small investment in the film industry.

Generally speaking, investment in online movies that cannot go to theaters is less than 10 million, while investment in regular theater movies is usually more than 10 million.

In particular, Wei Lan is going to make a science fiction film that requires data streams to achieve surreal content. It sounds ridiculous to make such an investment and prepare it for theaters.

But I couldn't stand Wei Lan and Wei Mingjie. One had the courage to take pictures, and the other had the courage to invest.

Regarding the script, Wei Lan already has a complete structure in his mind.

Making his first holographic movie, and targeting the subject of sniping, Wei Lan's preparations were naturally not perfunctory.

Due to cost constraints, the background cannot be placed on an alien planet like in Star Wars, nor can many grand scenes be created. From the first time Wei Lan used the director's camera, the data stream was insufficient, and she realized that it would cost a lot to create space scenes. She has to eat her food one bite at a time, and she can't afford a big scene right now.

However, it is not impossible to shoot at a low cost. In the science fiction genre, the ultimate competition is imagination. What is infinite than the universe is the human imagination space.

Chen Yuanhang's Star Wars set the background of the story in the outer space and the universe, and the book is a history of alien wars. Wei Lan came up with the idea of ​​using small things to make big things happen, and set the background of the story on the earth.

The inspiration came from a story she once saw in a dream.

The entire earth is facing the crisis of being destroyed. The human elites are helpless, but an unexpected, small and ordinary person finally saves the earth.

For the first film, Wei Lan was very ambitious and wanted to take into account both commercial aspects and story depth.

It's not a personal hero, nor is it a pure comedy like Swordsman... She plans to make a science fiction film that is completely different from what audiences in this world usually recognize.

Unlike Jianghu, which only took a few days to revise the script, Wei Lan spent more than half a month behind closed doors to finalize the overall framework of the script for this movie. As for the details of the lines, she planned to slowly carve them out while looking for actors. .

For Wei Lan, the most difficult part of this film was not how to construct the scene with a limited cost, but finding a suitable starring role.

The film budget is tight here, so the actors' remuneration naturally cannot be too high, but this film requires very high acting skills from the leading actor, and Wei Lan obviously cannot afford to hire a best actor.

In the villa, Wei Lan held a tablet and looked through the resumes of actors one by one.

From the day before yesterday to today, she has read hundreds of actor resumes.

Even if the investment is small, there are still many actors who want to participate in a movie that is going to be released in theaters. Of course, the most famous ones are only third-tier actors.

"Director Wei, together with this batch, this is all the resumes for this role that we have received as of this week. If you have been selected, please contact the planner or casting staff here."

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Wang."

After hanging up the phone from Wei's Pictures' secretary, Wei Lan opened the folder he had just sent and screened resumes again.

The afternoon passed, and Wei Lan rubbed his eyebrows.

Reading an actor's resume is not an easy task, because acting skills cannot be seen on a resume. You also have to go to see the corresponding representative works. Fortunately, the film industry in this world is quite good, and actors not only have certain expectations for actors In terms of industry ratings, Wei's relations department also did a meticulous job. Most of the resumes contained acting clips from the actors' masterpieces, which saved Wei Lan a lot of time.

Unexpectedly, when screening resumes, Wei Lan saw two familiar names, He Zixuan who played Dark Eleven in "Sword and Sword 4" and Yan Xun who played Dragon Crossing the River.

After working together with Dao Jian, Wei Lan had a good impression of these two actors. Yan Xun is a typical genre film actor. Because of his temperament and appearance, he basically only accepts villain-type roles. To the extreme, the audience will feel that this character is not a good person as soon as they see him in the film; He Zixuan is young and handsome, and although his acting skills are immature, he performed well when faced with a leading actor's director, because he was very cooperative and obedient and worked hard.

After thinking about it, Wei Lan directly passed on these two resumes. She had worked with Yan Xun. It was no problem for him to play a gangster like Guo Jiang Long. If he wanted to play the leading actor in his own movie, his appearance and temperament were already fierce enough. , and are accustomed to the villain's performance style, and it is difficult to change it in a short time.

Needless to say, He Zixuan's appearance and age are not suitable for the male protagonist of this movie, and his acting skills are far from the level of "plastic surgery" that makes people ignore his appearance.

But after all, they were actors who had worked together before. Wei Lan sent a message to Secretary Wang asking her to express her polite refusal to the two of them.

In the afternoon, He Zixuan received news from his concubine Xi Hui.

"Zixuan, Secretary Wang received a reply saying that your image and temperament are not in line with the character's setting. Are you worried this time?"

"Ah... what a pity." He Zixuan sighed regretfully when he heard the news.

Xi Hui's disapproving voice came from the phone: "What's there to be sorry for? This is good news. You have only been in this circle for a short time and you don't understand the industry situation. Let me tell you, the news I got from the project department, The investment in this movie is only 8 million, which is a lot in a TV series, but in a movie, it is a completely small investment. The most ridiculous thing is that the theme is science fiction! "

"Science fiction!" Xi Hui's voice suddenly stopped: "If eight million people want to make a science fiction movie, I can't even imagine what they can make. An alien war like monkeys fighting? Look at Star Wars. That's it. It looks like a science fiction movie, how much money did people invest?”

Xi Hui has led several new actors like He Zixuan. Originally, the most famous one under her was another B-signed actor. He Zixuan, like other newcomers, was not taken seriously, but after Sword and Sword 4 became a hit, he is now famous and popular. It is no longer comparable to that B-sign actor. Other colleagues are very envious of Xi Hui, and they all say that a sweet pastry fell from the sky into her bowl.

Xi Hui has been in the industry for several years, so she naturally attaches great importance to He Zixuan. She wants to plan for him according to what she thinks is the best path:

"Here's some advice, now is the time for you to gain momentum. Finish filming "Sword and Sword 5" to consolidate your popularity. Gradually improve your status in TV dramas and then get involved in movies. We have received news that Taili is planning to film a costume idol in the second half of the year. drama, with your current performance, it is no problem to win the second male lead. As long as you perform well in "Sword 5", I will find a way to win the first male lead for you..."

"Say, Sister Hui." He Zixuan agreed, but couldn't help but add: "You'd better ask Director Wei for help. It's not the male protagonist, but other suitable roles. It's not the protagonist. They are all shot in the studio. No time wasted.”

Xi Hui frowned, wondering why He Zixuan was so insistent, but she still wanted to have a good relationship with He Zixuan, so she agreed on the face of it.

"Okay, let's talk to the other side."

After hanging up the phone, Xi Hui's face turned serious. She had to go and inquire again. She seemed to have heard some gossip before. The new director seemed to be treating He Zixuan very favorably...

Xi Hui was thinking all over the place and faced a formidable enemy, but the reason why He Zixuan made this choice was very simple——

He intuitively felt that Wei Lan had a golden thigh.

Before meeting Wei Lan, He Zixuan was a potential actor trainee. He also participated in the filming of some TV series and collaborated with other directors.

But after working with Wei Lan, the contrast was so intuitive and clear.

He Zixuan had only received supporting roles in ordinary productions before, and he had also met B and C directors. It cannot be said that the other directors were inferior, but in terms of their grasp of the entire drama, he had never met anyone who was better than Wei Lan. people.

When Wei Lan was filming, the setting of the studio environment, the control of the atmosphere, and the scheduling of the actors were all extremely clear and precise. It was a feeling of effortlessness and ease.

To put it a bit more fantasy, when filming in the holographic world, He Zixuan even felt that Wei Lan was like an all-powerful god. The whole world was under her control, including the actors like them.

He Zixuan felt from the bottom of his heart that Wei Lan was a very powerful director, especially for a non-scientific actor like him, because he watched the entire "Sword and Sword 4" as soon as it was released, and he was in it. His performance is obviously far superior to his performance in other dramas. He felt that he learned more when filming one drama with Wei Lan than ten films made by other directors.

As the saying goes, once you take action, there will be nothing.

Like an ordinary martial arts teacher and a person who has created his own sect, they both teach martial arts. Who can tap out the potential of a beginner depending on the person? Is there any need to say more?

Different from He Zixuan, Yan Xun is older and less adventurous. His fame and income have become stable in all aspects. Acting is like a job to him. He submitted his resume because Wei Lan's movie is just a movie. He received After he declined the message, he naturally didn't pay much attention to it and asked Jiren to reply with a message "Looking forward to working together next time".

As for Li Feng, the real star of "Sword and Sword 4", he has never thought about working with Wei Lan again.

He is also the only actor who has not contacted Wei Lan again after taking advantage of the bonus of "Sword and Sword 4", because in his opinion, "Sword and Sword 4" became popular only because of the martial arts and the creative idea that caught the market's appetite and mastered it. With this core in mind, it will be the same no matter who makes the next film.

During the previous filming, he was very dissatisfied with Wei Lan's transformation of the great hero Lu Anning into being restrained in every aspect. Now that Sword and Sword 4 is a big hit, he has become popular for the second time. Peng Haobo, who took over "Sword and Sword 5", has decided that he will continue to be the protagonist. At that time, why did he want to participate in Wei Lan's movie that sounded unreliable at first glance?

After four days of screening resumes, Wei Lan only found five actors who were interviewed in one step. She also spent another two days looking for some genre films to watch, and finally found an actor with the right temperament and appearance.

In this screening, Wei Lan invited a total of seven people for interviews. One of them thought the film investment was too small. Hearing that it was the director's first time directing a film, he directly refused. In the end, only six actors were interviewed.

Due to Wei Lan's appearance, the interview was also conducted on the director's machine.

"Lanlan, how are you?"

After getting out of the director's machine, Ye Luoxue stepped forward and took Wei Lan out.

On Wei Lan's fair face, his brows wrinkled helplessly, and he shook his head: "It's not even suitable."

Ye Luoxue was also a little disappointed, patted her back and encouraged: "It's okay, we can always find it, let's go back today."

"Yes." Wei Lan agreed reluctantly.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned together and unexpectedly saw Wei Sijia, who had not been seen for a long time, in the living room.

The second performance was over, and she had two days off this time. She hesitated and struggled, but couldn't help but want to come back and see it.

Seeing Wei Sijia, Ye Luoxue's face was filled with surprise: "You kid, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? So that Aunt Zhang could cook some of your favorite dishes."

Hearing this, Wei Sijia wanted to smile, but couldn't help but feel a sour nose. However, she looked at Wei Lan standing next to Ye Luoxue, and forced herself to hold back her smile. She tried to maintain a mature and calm appearance: "No need to prepare specially~ The food there is also very good!"

After that, she hesitated for a moment, and still greeted Wei Lan: "Wei Lan."

"You are back." Wei Lan, who was in a bad mood, barely raised a smile to her and said business greetings: "I have seen your show, and your performance is very good. Keep it up!"

Wei Sijia: "..."

Too disgusting! What Wei Lan said in this tone of elders encouraging juniors!

During this period of Wei Sijia's competition career and dormitory life, most of her actions were under the camera. The small frictions between girls, all kinds of undercurrents, made her ideas mature a lot, which is why she took the initiative to greet him just now.

In essence, she and Wei Lan did not have any unsolvable contradictions. If they could get along, she would be willing to maintain peace with Wei Lan even if it made her parents unhappy.

When Wei Lan mentioned her show, Wei Sijia was looking forward to it, but when she heard the last two sentences, she suddenly got angry:

Isn't her performance good enough? Even if the other party is not jealous, shouldn't they envy her for taking a big step in pursuing her dream at such a young age! She is pretending to be a child every day! There are so many beautiful girls in the world, but only a few have made their debut successfully. She is already very good!

Wei Sijia had a good psychological preparation, but she was broken after seeing Wei Lan's greeting. Wei Lan's reaction was worse than no reaction, which was just like punching cotton.

The favorability did not reach 80, and Wei Lan did not observe carefully, so he had no way to understand Wei Sijia's complex psychological activities.

Of course, she would not care even if she knew.

In fact, after learning the cause and effect of the incident, Wei Lan had no bad feelings towards Wei Sijia. After all, the wrong child incident was not the responsibility of the other party's parents, and she herself was not the original owner, so she had no psychological injustice.

But Wei Lan didn't have the heart to ask her to take the initiative to make friends with Wei Sijia for the time being.

Wei Lan could say that she had no grudges against the relationship between the real daughter and the fake daughter, but it was hard to guarantee that Wei Sijia would think so. Even if it was to gain favor, she didn't have to deliberately choose the most difficult one. Everything would be fine.

At the moment, her whole mind was occupied by the issue of movie casting. She thought that she had greeted Wei Sijia politely, and turned to Ye Luoxue and said, "Mom, go back to the room to continue working. Call me when it's time to eat."

"Okay, you do your thing." Ye Luoxue nodded.

Wei Lan walked back to her room on the first floor with her short legs. Wei Sijia listened to the conversation between the two in a daze, with a lot of questions in her mind.

Wei Lan can only be a three-year-old child to the outside world now. If he wants to go to school, he can only go to kindergarten. What can he be busy with?

Ye Luoxue was afraid that Wei Sijia would misunderstand Wei Lan and didn't want to pay attention to her, so she quickly explained: "Lan Lan is busy casting for a new movie recently."

Wei Sijia: ? ? ?

"Mom, what did you say?" What? She knows every word, but she doesn't understand this sentence?

Ye Luoxue didn't expect Wei Sijia to be so surprised, and explained again: "Lan Lan is going to make a movie, and she is busy casting for the movie during this period."

"No, you mean, Wei Lan... is making a movie?" Wei Sijia asked incredulously.

Ye Luoxue: "Yes."

"Then, then..." Wei Sijia was stunned: "Then how did she shoot it?"

"Use a director's machine, which doesn't require real contact with the actors, and accompany her to the studio. When she can't go, Lao Wang and Aunt Zhou can also take her to the studio." Ye Luoxue explained.

There is also this kind of operation? ?

In Wei Sijia's original view, she should not be able to compete with Wei Lan in terms of people's favor, but she can always compete with her in terms of career, but now you are still an idol and you are already a director?

It's not that being an actor or a star is not a career, but it's not the general concept of the entertainment industry, or the nature of the profession. At the same level in the industry, the status of the director is far higher than that of the actor.

"You just let her play like this?"

The huge blow made Wei Si freeze in place, her eyes red with unwillingness. She wanted to develop in the entertainment industry in the future. Naturally, even a low-cost movie would cost millions. She wanted to go this way without using any resources. She relied on her own efforts. What kind of parents would be willing to spend so much money to let Wei Lan play like this? Sure enough, she and Wei Lan can't compare at all?

In Wei Sijia's opinion, Wei Lan had never filmed a movie, nor did she make any preliminary attempts. The first time she asked her parents to invest in a movie for her, what else could it be but throwing money to play?

Ye Luoxue was surprised and said, "The Sword and Fairy 4 that I recommended to you before was directed by Lan Lan! You can already tell from the production list."

Wei Sijia was stunned: "What?"

"That TV series is very good!" Ye Luoxue looked proud: "You should have watched it, right?"

Wei Sijia took out her phone to check in disbelief, and saw the director's name - it was indeed Wei Lan.

She thought "Sword and Fairy 4" was good before, and even recommended it on Weibo after watching it, but forget it after watching the show. Who would go out of their way to look at the director's name after watching a TV series? !

...At most, she checked the actor who played the most handsome Dark Eleven in the show, and found out that his name was He Zixuan.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail-300x250' , target_type: 'mix' });

Wei Sijia murmured: "...I didn't expect she was the one who took the photo..."

Upon hearing this news, Wei Sijia couldn't say that investing in Wei Lan's film was a joke. Denying the excellence of "Sword 4" at this time would be too much of a slap in the face.

"It doesn't matter, it's not too late now." Ye Luoxue said enthusiastically: "Don't you think you want to be an actor in the future? I asked Lanlan about this movie, and she said that your appearance and temperament are suitable. She will film one in the future. If there is a suitable role in this drama, it would be great to come directly to you!”

Wei Sijia: "..."

She felt extremely complicated now, as if she had worked hard and prepared for a long time, and finally it was time to face her old enemy. As a result, she stepped onto the ring and found that her opponent's identity had changed and he was now sitting on the referee's bench...

Wei Sijia was mentally shocked and stayed there for only two days. Fortunately, when the university started, she packed up her luggage and went to live on campus.

Wei Lan was merciless about the fact that he had inadvertently caused a spiritual blow from a distance. He only felt that Wei Sijia was acting like a gust of wind and disappeared before even seeing her.

However, she didn't have the time to pay attention to this man's movements. After spending nearly half a month, she still couldn't find a suitable male protagonist within the conditions. She was ready to take other avenues.

It is now early September. Although "Star Wars" will only start filming in October, the actors are all ready-made. Wei Lan wants to prepare for ample shooting time, so it is best to choose the leading actor before October. She does not want to snipe " The release date of "Star Wars" is shoddy and shoddy, resulting in an incomplete work.

Wei Lan contacted Secretary Wang of the Wei Family Relations Department who had been in contact with her: "Yes, a recruitment is open. Actors who meet the requirements will come to the company for interviews in the studio and in the actor's cabin."

"Okay." Secretary Wang on the other end of the phone frowned and rolled her eyes in pain, because Wei Lan proposed this plan, which meant that their department and the human resources department would be busy, but her voice was still sweet when she spoke: "Just send your request for actors here."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Lan sent the request made in advance to his secretary.

If she can't find an actor whose acting skills meet her needs, then she'll find an actor who fits the character well enough to play the part.

Wei Lan felt very uncomfortable about this, because it would cost extra money to organize the recruitment.

This feeling of wanting to break a dollar of investment in half and spend it was something she hadn't experienced in a long time. She even spent all the director's dividend of more than 200,000 yuan from the filming of "Sword and Sword 4".

This dividend is quite generous, because Wei Lan did not produce anything at the time of filming, and took over through the back door. It is considered a purely technical investment. Even if most people say that she has made a lot of contributions, she will not receive much money. Wei Lan once never cared about this. , the original purpose was to earn favorability points, but now I just want to get more dividends.

Processing recruitment not only costs extra money, but is also very time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Even if there is a rough selection to screen out unreliable candidates, to prevent missing suitable candidates, Wei Lan still needs to interview a large number of actors through the director's machine every day.

Because she has removed the qualification restriction, as long as she meets the conditions she set forth, even if she has not played any important roles, she can come to the interview.

For the many extras wandering in City H, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, this is the leading actor in a movie! Even if the director only has one completed TV series, even if the investment in this movie is only 8 million... there are many dream chasers who are eager to enter the entertainment industry. They are crazy about seeking opportunities and will not reject anyone who comes. As long as there is drama, that's fine.

The only difference is that some people chase money, while others chase dreams.

For eight hours a day, Wei Lan was interviewed non-stop except for eating. She originally wanted to extend her working hours, but Ye Luoxue forcibly stopped her. Although Wei Lan has the mind of an adult, her body is still that of a child. Every day Being busy for 8 hours is enough to worry Ye Luoxue.

After such a busy week, Wei Lan had a few actor files on her hands, but unfortunately their qualifications were all about average, and there was no one she was really satisfied with.

At the weekend, Ye Luoxue suddenly brought good news to Wei Lan.

She had a recommendation for a suitable heroine, a popular actress who was also willing to take the role.

"However, this actor... you should take a look and consider it." Ye Luoxue said with some hesitation.

"Oh?" Wei Lan was a little surprised to hear that he was an A-list celebrity. He could reach A-list status, but his fame would at least be enough to make an impression on passers-by when he asked his name when walking on the street.

"The salary offered here is not just a certain percentage of the box office. Will she agree?" Wei Lan asked.

Of course, the heroine of the movie also needs to be found, but compared to the male lead, the selection of the heroine is relatively easier. There is no requirement for acting skills. Ye Luoxue took the initiative to ask Wei Lan, and Wei Lan told her that there are only two requirements: one is a sufficiently exquisite and dazzling beauty, and the other is a proud temperament that can be seen at a glance.

Because there is no requirement for acting skills, there are too many good-looking people in the entertainment industry. This is also the reason why Wei Lan is relatively not in a hurry to find a heroine. She is planning to find newcomers from the film academy. After all, the more she can save on the pay, the more money she can invest in film production.

But if there are really popular stars joining, or first-line stars, then apart from anything else, just bringing fans and popularity can save a lot of money on film promotion.

If there are really suitable first-line actresses to play, how can Wei Lan be unwilling?

"I agreed. Her mother is friends with Wei Lan. She was mentioned during the chat. I asked her at that time. They were interested. She didn't want any salary for this performance, but she wanted a share of the box office."

Originally, Ye Luoxue asked Wei Lan to ask Wei Sijia if she would agree. However, when she heard Wei Lan asked for someone who looked proud, she gave up the idea. She didn't expect to get this unexpected reward when she went out for a spa with her friends. However... Ye Luoxue added awkwardly: "Any place is suitable, but she recently... just won the Golden Plum Award."

"Golden Plum?" Wei Lan pondered for a moment: "Okay, what's her name?"

Wei Lan had mentioned the Golden Plum Award in this world when he was looking for industry information before.

The difference of one word is similar to the Golden Raspberry Award in her previous generation's world. It is also a reverse rating of film awards. Other awards are used to select excellent films and filmmakers in a year, while this award is used to select the worst films and performances in a year. It originated from the audience's painful expression after watching a bad movie, as if they had eaten a sour plum but couldn't spit it out... Don't say it, Wei Lan imagined it and thought it was quite appropriate.

Ye Luoxue replied: "Her name is Su Yining."

So, Wei Lan turned around and immediately checked the information of this actress named Su Yining.

Good guy, if you don't check, you won't know. Once you check, there will be overwhelming negative news.

The ranking of actresses in the entertainment industry with bad tempers and low emotional intelligence counted by marketing accounts, this actress named Su Yining must have a place in the top three.

Most of the news in the webpage entries are about Su Yining winning the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress this year, and her acting skills were evaluated by poisonous tongues as "not even a good vase". There are no good entries in other news, most of which are about playing big in certain interviews, etc.

Wei Lan raised her eyebrows. So that was the case. No wonder first-line stars were willing to participate in the small production of 8 million yuan.

However, she did not deny Su Yining's negative reputation and said that she could not be her heroine. In Wei Lan's eyes, fame and reputation are always things that can be easily reversed. What the audience needs to see in the end is spiritual food that satisfies them. Under this premise, as long as it is not a principled negative news, it is not a big deal.

Moreover, negative popularity is also popularity. In the absence of popularity, the topic can also be converted into a certain popularity. There are many artists in the entertainment industry who are known only after being in the news. It is not necessarily a bad thing that Su Yining can bring so many related discussions.

Wei Lan opened Su Yining's encyclopedia entry and looked at the photo of this actress carefully.

The first impression is that she is beautiful, very beautiful, and the kind of aggressive beauty.

This beauty is also the top batch in the entertainment industry. From the perspective of director Wei Lan, the appearance of this actress is still very recognizable in the movie. No wonder she can be evaluated as having no acting skills and can still get to the first line.

Just looking at the photos is not enough, Wei Lan also looked for the works in which Su Yining participated to focus on.

Her representative film is also her debut work. She is one of the heroines in the famous fantasy novel adaptation filmed by a big director. She is a cold and beautiful fairy type. Su Yining is beautiful and taciturn in the film. Due to the character setting and the plot, she is thunderous when she attacks, accompanied by gorgeous special effects. She is simply the mysterious fairy in the novel.

While watching the movie, Wei Lan opened the barrage and saw a glimpse from the audience's comments:

'It's the peak since her debut. It would be great if Su Yining's acting skills can maintain the current level. I don't know what she thinks, but she has to play a silly and sweet role in the future. ’

'What is coming is the famous scene in various D station beauty clips! ’

'To be honest, no matter how many negative news Su Yining has, her appearance is really too good. ’

'It's still the director □ the actor. Director Liu is a national team, and his level is there. ’

After watching the movie and a few interviews with Su Yining, Wei Lan was very interested in this actress and immediately asked Ye Luoxue to help contact and arrange an interview.

The next day, Su Yining and Ji Renyue came to Wei's.

"Hello, Miss Su, Director Wei is waiting for you in Studio 3."

Su Yining Ji Renwen is a gentle man wearing glasses and looks handsome. After hearing what Secretary Wang said, he asked: "Do you want to interview directly in the director's room? It would be more convenient to meet, right?"

"Yes." Secretary Wang took a moment and explained politely: "Director Wei is more introverted. We interviewed in the director's room. We haven't seen her in person."

After hearing this, Wen frowned and looked at Su Yining wearing sunglasses.

Su Yining took off her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful face that would attract 100% of people turning their heads when walking on the street.

Rao is a female star in the entertainment industry that Secretary Wang often comes into contact with. After meeting Su Yining in person, she still felt amazed.

Su Yining looked a little tired and said nonchalantly: "Then let's stay in the actor's cabin."

It’s not strange to interview in the actor’s cabin. Some directors have this habit, because when interviewing actors, they complete the appearance and scene in one go, so that they can intuitively see whether the actor is suitable for the movie.

Su Yining entered the holographic cabin, and her eyesight went dark, then lit up again soon.

She was sitting on a soft sofa, a simple lounge, with a cup of coffee on the table in front of her.

Opposite her sat a chubby red panda.

A cold and magnetic female voice came from the panda's mouth: "Hello, Miss Su, this is Wei Lan."

In the holographic world, Wei Lan can arbitrarily create external images of people and animals, but her own consciousness cannot enter it. Therefore, it seems that the panda is talking, but in fact it is just Wei Lan putting the 'listening interface' of her own words. On the panda.

This kind of scene is just like the avatar you like to use on social software. It belongs to the category of personal preference. Su Yining was not surprised and said hello to Wei Lan: "Hello."

Wei Lan actually met Su Yining and was very satisfied with her appearance and temperament. He went straight to the topic: "To understand why you are willing to audition for this movie?"

Su Yining leaned back on the sofa and answered very simply: "Because this is a movie, because this character is the heroine."

Su Yining became an instant hit with this first work when she was twenty years old. In the four years since she entered the entertainment industry, she continued to film two movies and three TV series.

Because she has a good starting point, she always plays the leading female role.

As a result, Su Yining's second film failed miserably at the box office. The film itself was not good, and her performance in it was lackluster, which exposed her lack of acting skills.

However, the bonus from the first movie was still there. Ji Ren took the opportunity to give Su Yining three idol dramas with different backgrounds. In the TV drama industry, Su Yining was able to earn enough dividends by relying on her face, so she consolidated and accumulated a large number of fans.

If it didn't work last time, it must be an accident... This is what Su Yining and Ji Ren thought at the time.

Due to the popularity of three idol dramas, Su Yining took on another modern food romance drama, and the result... won a Golden Raspberry Award.

Wei Lan went to see this movie specially. It is a popular IP based on a famous romance novel and has many fans. As a result, Su Yining, who plays the famous chef, not only acted exaggeratedly and stiffly in the drama, but also some of the cooking actions were very bad. At first glance, Even for people who don’t cook very much, the main point is that the holographic movie mode is not like shooting on camera. You have to find a stand-in to act out many of the plots. You can only do it in person.

Su Yining was not only criticized by ordinary movie fans for her poor acting skills and lack of professionalism, but also book fans felt that the novel in their hearts was ruined by her. The media called her a box office poison. Su Yining was scolded for a while, and it was uncontroversial. won the title of Worst Actress this year.

"So even if I can only offer a share of the box office and production remuneration, will you accept it?" Wei Lan asked.

"Accept." Just like when she was interviewed, Su Yining answered certain questions surprisingly simply: "In addition to the relationship between my mother and Aunt Ye, I don't care about the salary. The key is not to lose to the right person."

"right?"

To Wei Lan's surprise, she originally thought that Su Yining was in a predicament because she wanted to make a movie but couldn't get it, so she had no choice but to go back to filming a TV series.

Because generally speaking, the status and commercial value of movie stars are higher than those of TV drama stars. It is okay for a newcomer to try it out. If you take the route of a movie star and then go to film TV dramas, once your level drops, it will not be easy to rise back up.

Unexpectedly, according to Su Yining's intention, she was willing to star for another reason.

Su Yining shrugged: "Yes, Li Tongtong, don't you know? I had a problem with her in the first movie and the one who played the double heroine, and I have stopped dealing with her since I entered the industry. This is also true in the entertainment industry. It’s nothing new. You can find it with just a casual search. Later, she was always busy filming TV series, but when it comes to making movies..." At this point, Su Yining also looked a little embarrassed: "She had previously filmed the second female lead in Star Wars. , now I only accept movie heroines.”

Su Yining added very honestly: "But now we can't accept other movie heroines. Fans of Yu Zizhen are now boycotting her."

Wei Lan was confused: "Why should I resist you?"

The first thing Wei Lan thought about was, could it be a love scandal or something like that?

When Su Yining mentioned this, his face was full of anger: "When Razzie received the award before, she said that it was not one person's responsibility that the movie was not made well. Is that wrong?"

After saying this, Wei Lan remembered that Yu Zi was really the leading actor in Su Yining's previous gourmet love movie, and he was very popular.

She watched that movie. Although the male protagonist's acting skills were not very good, but if you think about it, the top fans are very powerful. When Su Yining said this, the fans naturally only felt that she was connoting it and wanted to blame her. It would be a ghost if his brother's head didn't explode instantly.

After such a conversation, Wei Lan roughly understood why Su Yining was able to play such a good hand with Tianhu in the beginning...

Is the person good-looking? Brain changed.

Wei Lan truly felt that Su Yining's current mixed popularity was due to good luck and Yan Neng.

‘So you don’t read the script now, and you are willing to take the role as long as you are the heroine in the movie? ’

After hearing this, Wei Lan wanted to ask this question, but the Su Yining in front of her was so fragrant. Whether it was her personality or appearance or her arrogance that came out of nowhere, she was the most suitable candidate for the heroine that she could see.

"Then it's settled, happy cooperation, the heroine."

Wei Lan controlled the red panda and stretched out his hand to Su Yining.

Su Yining didn't expect Wei Lan to decide on her so quickly. She was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand and shook the panda's paw together, pursed her lips seriously and said: "Happy cooperation... Don't worry, I won't be perfunctory, I will act well."

"I believe in you, just be yourself, you are the best!" An encouraging voice came from the red panda.

Su Yining's thoughts: The director is very good, I must show my acting skills this time.

Wei Lan's thoughts: Just act in your true colors.
