Love at public expense in the name of making stars

Beijing has just fallen into ambush in July, and it is not yet the hottest and muggiest time outside.A night of rain has just passed, and the temperature in the morning is not too hot.Several windows of Starway Casting Studio were wide open, and from time to time there was a gentle breeze rushing in, blowing away the messy actor information cards on the desktop.

There was a person lying on the gray sofa in the corner of the office, letting the wind make troubles, but he couldn't wake up from a sound sleep.

His body was narrow and slender, his legs were forced to bend, and his posture seemed a bit uncomfortable.He casually threw the mobile phone beside the leg of the sofa, and it was silent but blinking with unanswered calls.One would come in every ten minutes, but they were all different and unfamiliar numbers.

The owner of the mobile phone was sound asleep and didn't notice it at all.

Until the sun rose higher and higher, the room temperature gradually became unbearable.The person on the sofa slowly opened his eyes. He sat up in a crumpled shirt, and it took him a long time to recall what happened last night.

—he drank the slice again.

Liang Han sighed.

With my drinking capacity, I am afraid that I will quit the film and television industry sooner or later.

He rubbed his eyes and stood up in a little embarrassment.He was always heat intolerant, so he turned on the air conditioner in the studio first, then squatted on the ground to clean up the actor materials flying everywhere.Each data card is exquisitely printed, and there are handsome men and beautiful women's smiles on the cover.But Liang Han didn't even look at it, he piled them all together, then tore off a post-it note, bowed his head and wrote: Please dispose of the waste paper in time.

Then he picked up his phone and took a picture and sent it to the work group.

Liang Han stretched, looked at more than a dozen missed calls, but did not reply, and put the phone in his pocket indifferently.

He cleaned up the studio before going to wash. Before he went in, he looked at the clock on the wall, it was 11:[-] am.

After about half an hour, the door of the studio was finally swiped open with fingerprints from the outside.

Liang Han had already changed his clothes, groomed himself, and sat in front of the computer to process the script.

Without looking up, he said, "You're late."

"Wrong, Brother Han." The person who came was smiling without any fear.

Liang Han didn't say too much, and directly explained the work, "Last night, I signed the contract with Mr. Lu, and we will focus on helping her with this project. I posted the character biography and plot outline in the group, please take a look." , the script is on the company's network disk."

Five or six people came into the studio one after another. Seeing Liang Han sitting in the middle, everyone was a little embarrassed and apologized for being late.Liang Han didn't say much, and directly called everyone to a meeting, and then announced the new project they took over - the idol drama "Chan Sheng Bar Love".

"Anan, you will be in charge of this project. Go back and find the designer to make a group newsletter, and everyone will post it in Moments. Don't write my contact information in the group newsletter. There are a lot of phone calls every day, which is too annoying."

Everyone laughed, and the big boy named Anan laughed the hardest. He promised, "Don't worry, Brother Han, I promise to share your worries. This project will definitely not let actresses pounce into your room in the middle of the night."

Liang Han has a handsome appearance, fair skin, and big eyes. He doesn't look ugly among actors on weekdays, but he is famously handsome in the industry of casting assistant directors.Xingtu casting studio has become famous in recent years, not only because of Liang Han's vicious casting vision, but also because of his appearance as a jade-faced son.His status in the studio is unambiguous, and producers and directors also sell his face.It is inevitable that some actors are not in the right mind and want to go astray.

Liang Han glanced at Anan indifferently, and continued: "This project is set in a hurry. Mr. Lu hopes that the lead actor can be settled this month, and it is best to start it at the end of next month. Our time is tight, so we still have to try our best." Choose high-quality actors, the project budget is sufficient, and the male and female protagonists are very important. This project is an adaptation of comics, so everyone has time to read the original work. It may be closer to the author’s original thinking than the script. There are many fans of comics. Everyone should pay attention..."

In the middle of speaking, Liang Han suddenly paused, his eyes fell sharply on a tall and strong man, frowned, and said seriously: "How many times have I told you not to play with your mobile phone during the meeting."

"No, Brother Han." The hunky man raised his head, stretched his thick arms forward, and handed over his mobile phone, "Just now when Weibo sent me a push, I just took a look and said that the male lead of our project has been confirmed, and all of them are on it." Hot search."

"Ah? Who is it, Brother Han?" Anan didn't know the situation, so he asked.

Liang Han took the phone and denied it: "It's not decided, I just had a drink with Mr. Lu last night. We are fully responsible for the actors. You choose the male lead slowly."

He looked down at Weibo, but he didn't expect that the top search was related.

#杜林秋留盛吧爱爱男主#

Liang Han clicked in and took a look. A large amount of the content was posted by the marketing account. The reason was that Duan Linqiu was holding the original comic book "Chan Sheng Bar Love" in his hand in the airport map when he got off the plane today. "Chan Sheng Bar Love", as the original Chinese manga with a high degree of topic last year, is indeed very popular and has its own traffic.At the beginning of this year, when it was announced that there was going to be a manga adaptation of the TV series, there were already several rounds of hot searches. The producer Lu Siqi spent a lot of money to buy the rights to the adaptation.Fans of the original work are all staring at the sound, while Duan Linqiu is a new streamer who became popular with the campus idol drama at the beginning of this year, and also brings his own topic.

The two are superimposed, the buff is activated, and it is not uncommon to be the first in the hot search.

Liang Han returned the phone to the hunk, "Coincidence, don't worry about it."

"Isn't it?" The man took the phone, "Duan Linqiu is a straight man, he wouldn't like to watch this kind of girl comics, would he?"

Liang Han was rarely amused, raised the corners of his mouth, and tapped his pen on the table, "Leave me alone and continue the meeting."

The casting meeting lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was hungry. Liang Han sent Anan out to buy lunch for everyone, picked up his phone, and opened Weibo.

Nowadays, in the film and television industry, hot searches on Weibo are like a weather vane.Knowing whether an artist is popular or not, judging who has potential risks, and who can bring their own topicality are all factors to be considered in casting.Liang Han will brush up in his spare time, not much interest, but he must always do a good job.

He didn't expect that Duan Linqiu's hot search was still at the top.

Liang Han clicked in and took a look. The wind direction everyone was discussing was no longer Duan Linqiu's airport map, but how similar Duan Linqiu was to the hero "Senior Yun Sheng" in "Can Sheng Bar Love".

The marketing account and fans posted a lot of pictures of Duan Linqiu’s past Japanese photos. Duan Linqiu is 24 years old this year, just graduated from university, and went to Japan for exchange for half a year when he was studying. "Chan Sheng Bar Love" tells the story of pure love from high school to college, and the picture also has a Japanese feel.After being compared by fans, passers-by and many original fans felt that the two were quite similar, and a large number of netizens were expressing their emotions-"Duan Linqiu is worthy of being a man! He is Senior Yun Sheng himself!!"

Anan, who led the project, also saw the discussion on Weibo, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Han, Duan Linqiu is indeed a bit like a male protagonist, why don't I ask his agent first, let's invite the actor to meet him side?"

The hunk stood beside him and said, "I still think it's weird, how can it be such a coincidence? We just took over this project today, and Duan Linqiu was on a plane to read this cartoon? Brother Han, why don't you call and ask Mr. Lu, will it be okay?" Did she contact her in advance?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Han's cell phone rang.

The caller was Lu Siqi, the producer of "Chan Sheng Bar Love".

Liang Han's eyes flicked across the faces of Anan and the hunk, and before answering the phone, he nodded in the direction of the hunk, "I think you are right."

After speaking, Liang Han picked up the phone: "Mr. Lu."

"Xiao Han! I'm sorry to bother you, are you okay when you go back last night?" Lu Siqi's voice sounded with a smile.

Liang Han also laughed a little, "It's okay, Mr. Lu, the most important thing is to have a good drink. What can you do for me?"

"I just scrolled through Weibo and saw that netizens were discussing that actor...what's his name?...Oh yes, Duan Linqiu, he seems to be quite popular. Xiaohan, have you guys looked for him yet?"

Internet gossip is rampant, and even producers have to go online to eat their own melons.Liang Han laughed silently, but his guess was more solid in his heart.He remained calm, and only explained to Lu Siqi: "No, Mr. Lu, we just held a casting meeting in the morning, and it is estimated that we will announce the casting information tomorrow. We haven't contacted any actors yet."

"Oh, that's just a coincidence! But it doesn't matter, I think Duan Linqiu is really suitable, you can contact me to see, if it's good, we'll ask the director to come and see him."

Liang Han did not agree, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I don't think this hot search is such a coincidence."

How big is the entertainment industry?Up to 00 old ladies watch TV, down to [-] and use Douyin.

Everyone pays attention, everyone eats melons.

How small is the entertainment industry?From Baiziwan in the south to Wangjing in the north, Sanlitun in the west and Gaobeidian in the east.All in all, a quarter of Chaoyang District in Beijing is just that big.

In the Creative Cultural Park, which is two streets away from Starway Casting Studio, there are three well-known brokerage companies.

Among them, there is the "Avenue Broker" where Duan Linqiu works.Netizens dramatically ridiculed this company, which is a broad "road" to traffic.

The boss of Avenue Brokerage and the only big broker, Qin Zhijian, was standing in front of the French window of the office, sniffing a cigar with lowered eyebrows.

Sitting across from him was Xie Mei, the company's publicity director. The woman had a beautiful face and was smiling and reporting: "Mr. Qin, there's another trending search, and it's called #杜林秋云士学长#...How about it? We're going fast enough this time Hurry up?"

Qin Zhijian said "Yes", and praised concisely, "Not bad."

Xie Mei is really proud. She was hired by Qin Zhijian last month. She was parachuted into the company as the publicity director. She was worried that she would not have the opportunity to show her talents.

Last night when Qin Zhijian went out to socialize, she heard the people at the next table talking about the adaptation of the popular manga "Chan Sheng Bar Love", and accidentally learned that this manga adaptation had already started secret casting, so she immediately posted in the work group Instructions, asking colleagues in the propaganda department to help build momentum.Xie Mei seized the opportunity. It was already very late that day, but she asked a friend to borrow a comic book and drove it to the artist's home in person. She asked Duan Linqiu to take it with her when she went to the airport the next day.

Then coordinate fan operations, euphemistically hinting that everyone mentioned the work together.After the airport map came out, she found a few marketing accounts and posted it, which immediately caused a stir.

After claiming credit, Xie Mei got up and left without disturbing Qin Zhijian's work.

Qin Zhijian put her phone on the table, but she was not as optimistic as Xie Mei.The trending search has lasted for more than four hours from the morning to now. The entertainment industry is not big. If the other party is interested, even if you don't know him, you should have found out about it long ago and came to contact him.

Duan Linqiu's appearance is good, and his popularity is hot. There is no reason why the film crew should not give him a chance.

Qin Zhijian carefully recalled last night.

At that time, Qin Zhijian first recognized the woman on the dining table through the beaded screen specially used to divide the area in the restaurant as the famous producer Lu Siqi, who is also the copyright holder of "Chan Sheng Bar Love" .But he didn't recognize the man sitting across from him, he looked a little familiar, as if he had seen him in a wine shop.

The other party has fair skin. Although he is a boy, he has a pair of very attractive eyes, and there is a tear mole the size of a grain of rice under his eyes.Probably drank a little too much, and when he left the field, he staggered and his eyes were red.

Qin Zhijian deduced that it should be an unknown actor who was recommending himself in front of Lu Siqi.

After the meal was really enjoyable, the boy bent down and personally sent Lu Siqi to the car.Lu Siqi seemed very satisfied with the boy, and after getting in the car, she held the boy's hand and said a few words before leaving.

That boy looked a bit bookish, and to be more careful, he looked a bit like "Senior Yun Sheng" in the comics.

Could it be him?
