CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

Xie Zhuxin was able to make this decision thanks to Hou Yize's gift of a new agent, Sister Zhu.

Time goes back to 2 days ago.

After the broadcast of "Bright Moon Journey", the entire team was busy as hell.

The only two idle people in the studio recently are probably the boss Xie Zhuxin and the customer Sister Zhu.

Xie Zhuxin, because the online broadcast promotional materials for "Hao Yue Xing" have been recorded, and the only offline promotional schedule is the closing press conference.

We are still carefully evaluating new invitations and plan to make a formal decision after the TV series is finale.

So I'm going to take a break from my busy schedule for a while.

Sister Zhu, even Wu Yinan doesn’t know how to arrange work for this senior.

I could only take a bunch of project introductions and scripts sent to the studio and ask her to take her time to look through them and help with their evaluation.

But I didn't know that Sister Zhu was very experienced in reading scripts and had her own set of special standards. She would often throw the script aside after just flipping through two pages.

"What kind of rubbish script is this? You can just throw it away as soon as you get it, okay? I'm going blind after reading this page!"

Watching Sister Zhu quickly digest the work tasks that were arranged with great difficulty, she still punched in for work on time every day and wandered around the studio bored.

Wu Yinan had no choice but to take over the several new projects that Uncle Lou had just sent over in the past few days.

I thought these scripts, which were obviously of much higher quality, would take up more of Sister Zhu's time.

Unexpectedly, before half a day had passed, Sister Zhu rushed directly into Xie Zhuxin's office.

As soon as I entered the door, I got straight to the point and stated my conclusion.

“It’s not that you can’t take on these projects. For example, if you don’t have a better choice for this Lunar New Year film, it’s fine to use it to fill your schedule.

"But I still think that if you still have time to take over a drama this year, Li Mo in "Cold and Summer" should be your first choice!"

"Winter comes and summer goes"?

Xie Zhuxin and Wu Yinan, who happened to be reporting to her in the office, exchanged glances.

"Sister Zhu, don't be anxious, sit down and talk."

Wu Yinan put down the documents in his hand, brought a chair to Sister Zhu and asked her to sit down.

"In fact, I have already investigated the drama "Cold and Summer", and I officially contacted their crew for the first time yesterday. Now I am reporting the results to Zhu Xin..."

It turns out that although the drama "Hao Yue Xing" was so popular, it also brought in a flood of work.

But Wu Yinan still hasn't forgotten the project that Sister Zhu mentioned.

How could an agent who could lead a male star like Hou Yize, who was originally a singing and dancing idol, to follow such a steady development trajectory and successfully make him the idol drama male god for so many years, not be very capable?

Of course, they couldn't ignore the role that such an excellent agent recommended to Xie Zhuxin.

During this period, Wu Yinan personally took action and found out the details of the drama "Winter and Summer".

This web drama, adapted from a suspense novel by a pioneering writer, is the most ambitious work of the Penguin platform this year.

It is directed by a new and talented director who previously directed the hit suspense web drama "The Hidden Corner".

The project has been in preparation for a long time. I heard that it took more than two years to polish the script alone.

Many big-name actors have expressed their willingness to join the cast, but the final cast has not yet been decided.

Although this project has been kept low-key throughout, no news has been released.

But those in the industry who know about it understand that this is another big production that strives to gain good reputation.

If nothing goes wrong, even if it cannot be shown on TV screens, the viewing popularity limit will not be too high, and this configuration is definitely guaranteed in terms of quality.

If you can play a role in it and perform well, your future career as an actor will be smooth, even if it doesn't lead to instant success.

For works like this, unless you are someone with extremely deep connections in the circle, you won’t even be able to find out about the project, let alone know what the characters are like.

Even Wu Yinan had to rely on her ace agent master to finally find out about the drama and the original novel it was adapted from.

After quickly reading the original novel, even she began to strongly recommend it to Xie Zhuxin, and she should strive to get the role of Li Mo.

After listening to Wu Yinan's feedback, Xie Zhuxin spent an afternoon reading the novel called "The Long Season".

She finally understood why Sister Zhu and Wu Yinan both recommended this drama and this role to her in unison.

The film and television drama invitations I currently have are completely not on the same level as this drama!

Simply put, as long as the script of "Cold and Summer" can restore 5% of the original novel, the front and backstage team will also be 6% or 7% reliable as rumored.

Then the role of Li Mo will be the role that all young actresses in their 20s in the circle dream of!

Xie Zhuxin immediately decided to let Wu Yinan get in touch with the crew of "Winter and Summer" as soon as possible.

Since the hot searches related to Xie Zhuxin at that time only focused on her appearance in "Hao Yue Xing", it was easy for people to misunderstand that she was just a traffic actor with only beautiful looks.

She also specifically assigned an important task to the publicity team before Wu Yinan left:

Reverse the direction of public opinion in the shortest possible time and focus more publicity on one's own acting skills.

Now, this wave of acting publicity has basically achieved the expected results.

So what was the result of getting in touch with the crew of "Winter and Summer"?

Xie Zhuxin ignored Sister Zhu who came uninvited next to her and directly grabbed Wu Yinan and asked.

"I'm sorry, once they heard what I wanted to say, they quickly turned me down."

Under the scorching gazes of Xie Zhuxin and Sister Zhu, Wu Yinan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"They said that they wanted fresh faces for the younger characters in this drama, so they didn't consider faces that the audience was already familiar with..."

“All excuses!”

Sister Zhu interrupted and said in a decisive tone.

"I've talked to so many crews, and I've heard this reason too many times! They all say they want newcomers, but in the end, either a resourceful person is airdropped in, or another old face is replaced! As long as the role is suitable, why would there be so many rules and regulations?"

Wu Yinan was suddenly interrupted, so he could only smile helplessly at Xie Zhuxin, and then patiently explained.

"Yes, I think so too. So I found a way and asked someone to ask the director privately. He gave a reason, which I think should be the truth..."

"What reason?"

This time it was Xie Zhuxin's turn to interrupt impatiently.

"The director said you are too beautiful."

"what?"

It was the first time that Xie Zhuxin heard from the director that the reason for rejecting her was that she was too beautiful.

I couldn't help but feel a little amused and helpless.

Based on her experience over the years, the most important requirement for a heroine in a film or TV series is good looks, followed by acting skills.

If an actress is pretty enough but her acting skills are not good, some crews will consider whether they can use shooting techniques to cover it up.

But if an actress has acting skills but fails to meet the image standards required by the crew, she will basically be eliminated in minutes, no room for negotiation.

How come when it comes to the crew of "Cold and Summer", the situation is completely reversed——

Without even meeting the person, he was rejected by one vote just because his image was too good?

Could it be that the impression of her appearance on hot searches when "Hao Yue Xing" was first aired was too deep?

Xie Zhuxin suddenly felt a little unconvinced.

"I think my image is quite suitable for the role. I want to meet the director and negotiate with him in person."

She just couldn't believe that after watching her performance in person, the director could still use such an excuse to brush her off!

“It’s not just a director issue.”

Wu Yinan smiled and shook his head.

"'Cold and Summer' is the key drama project of the Penguin platform this year, and several investors have also made heavy bets on it.

"So even for auditions, the threshold for this drama is very high. Getting a role is even more difficult - not only do you have to get the director's approval, but you also have to get the capital behind you!

"The situation is so complicated, how are you going to break it?"

Xie Zhuxin pondered for a moment and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it - after all the hard work of planning for so long, it's finally time to put it to use!"
