At first, I just wanted to make money

"Wulin Biography" is different from the previous series, this drama is not written by the company's screenwriter, the company is only the investor, and it is a project stolen from others...

From a moral point of view, it is indeed unreasonable to steal projects that others are optimistic about...

But no one looks at this from a moral point of view!

I will only praise Shen Xudong and Tianmei Media for their outstanding vision...

"Wulin Biography" directly won six stars...

Except for Mo Xiaobei, the actors are constantly making appointments!
In fact, during this period of time, there are still a lot of small moves. Many film and television companies want to take advantage of "Wulin Biography" to strike while the iron is hot-launch a sequel.

Of course, Gao Fenfen also had an idea, and even offered a price of 50 yuan for a single episode, directly stating that as long as Shang Jing is willing to shoot, she is willing to pay this price...

A sitcom worth 50 per episode...

You must know that the single episode of "Wulin Biography" is only about 12...

It's a pity that the God of Wealth really couldn't write it—otherwise, it wouldn't have been originally scheduled for 81 episodes, but [-] episodes were filmed in the end.

Creation needs inspiration, and "Wulin Biography" consumed most of the talent of God of Wealth, and he had to wait for a few years.

As a director, Shang Jing has a hot fight with Guangguang Media, and together with Yu Baimei, he worked on a family ethics drama called "The House Before the House", and planned to use the original cast of "Wulin Biography".

These, of course, are for later.

But Shen Xudong didn't care, because in his memory, "Wulin Biography" represented a peak in the field of sitcoms, and it was second to none.

As for "In front of the house and behind the house", he has never even heard of it...

If the company wants to make money, just invest in it. Anyway, with the help of "Wulin Biography", "Front and Back" will definitely make some money...

After "Wulin Biography" became popular, Tianmei Media produced it, and its reputation as a must-have boutique has grown louder and louder!

"Struggle", Tianmei Media's next work, is scheduled to hit the blockbuster!

Screenwriter Shen Xudong, director Zhao Baogang, a strong alliance.

Now openly choose the two roles of Yang Xiaoyun and Mi Lai...

Oh, Gao Lu was rejected - Zhao Baogang felt that Gao Lu was too dignified and not suitable for Yang Xiaoyun...

Yang Xiaoyun must be the kind of woman who is not too beautiful, but a bit shrewd...

Shen Xudong simply called Yang Xiaomi and asked her to audition.

Yang Xiaomi readily agrees...

Mi Lai...the most perfect woman in "Struggle": persistent in love, daring to love and hate, and kind-hearted.

According to Zhao Baogang's thinking, she must be that kind of white and rich beauty.

……

On the third floor of the company, Zhao Baogang met Shen Xudong and chatted about Mi Lai...

Compared to Yang Xiaoyun, Mi Lai is more difficult to choose@
He thought of a candidate: "Can Huang Shengyi do it?"

"...Huang Shengyi...She earns 30 yuan per episode, I can't afford her. This is a youth idol drama, with a total investment of more than 2000 million yuan..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong said again: "Besides, she is too busy acting as a wife with her wealthy husband. You invite her, or not her husband?"

Of course Zhao Baogang knew who Shen Xudong was talking about...

Shen Xudong declined to comment, remembering to use the words of Huang Shengyi that I read before: Born in New China, living in a scholarly family, growing up under the red flag, but living a life in the old society...

Huang Shengyi, until the 09 "Four Little Flowers" selection, she was as famous as Liu Yifei and Yang Xiaomi!
Now?

"...Then do you have any recommendations?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Let's see, what if there is someone who can close your eyes!"

"to make…"

……

The casting of "Struggle" is said to be casting a wide net, but in fact, there are only a few who really have the opportunity to stand in front of Shen Xudong and Zhao Baogang to audition!

After all, the inappropriate ones were screened out in the first round...

Miley is the main character!

It's not a supporting role, a secondary role...

At the very beginning, there was a general range: around 25 years old, looking white and beautiful...It is best to have a sense of loneliness!
Therefore, Wang Luodan was screened out from the very beginning - she was too dark, dark and thin!

In fact, this casting condition looks very embarrassing - loneliness?

What is loneliness?
Is it based on appearance?

Well, in fact, it is that kind of feeling with a touch of literary style!

Feel, Feel...

In fact, what Shen Xudong meant when he said you can do what you want...

cough cough.

Most of the people who come to the audition are actors who already have certain experience.

Chen Xi passed by the meeting room, stretched his head to look, there were more than a dozen people sitting there, all of them were young girls, all of them were neat and tidy.

Among them are her classmate Zhou Yun... junior girls Chen Shu, Zhang Xinyi, and a few familiar faces: Cao Xiwen, Tong Yao, Mao Junjie, Shen Jiani, Bai Jing, Guo Zhenni...

And there's Nortel...

Che Xiao, Jiang Yan, Huang Lu, Ma Su, and a few others she doesn't know...

But just looking at this ratio, the Chinese opera side still has the advantage.

Chen Xi thought so, and pushed open the door of the audition room with satisfaction. Shen Xudong was chatting with Zhao Baogang... Seeing her come in, he casually asked, "Is it almost there?"

"...Well, we can start now."

"Then let them come in one by one..."

……

Casting is pretty boring...

Especially for formal casting, it mainly depends on the face.

An actor meets the requirements of the role, and his image and temperament are best consistent with the requirements of the role image, and then... look at the acting skills.

The casting of TV dramas basically does not need to look at acting skills, they are all serious professional actors, and there is no need to consider acting skills at all...

It's different from movies, movies have to consider appeal, TV series are sold directly to TV stations...

Of course, series with well-known actors will sell better, but "Struggle" doesn't have to.

The selling point of "Struggle" is Shen Xudong + Zhao Baogang.

The participation of well-known actors is just a bonus, not essential!
So, Millais is going to use a newcomer, or a lesser-known actress.

Shen Xudong looked at it for a long time, but none of them were suitable, but there was an actress named Xu Lingxue, who surprised him a bit, and she was from Nortel 02...

There is such a beauty in Nortel 02 class?
The appearance and figure are both good choices, but unfortunately, it is too tall, with a visual estimate of 175...

It is best not to be too tall for an actress, because if you are too tall, it will be difficult to find a male actor to play with you.

In the entertainment industry, the ones who can really mix well are the female stars who are about 1.6 meters high, and can form a height difference with most male actors, so it is more convenient for them to act as actresses.

No wonder it didn't mix up...

Also, does Zhou Yun need to audition here?

She is Mrs. Jiang Wen...

What's wrong?Want to be an independent woman?
However, Zhao Baogang rejected her——Zhou Yun's sense of young women is too strong, unlike Mi Lai!

In the end, the two stayed, Zhang Xinyi and Che Xiao

Zhang Xinyi is an artist of Xinbaoyuan, and Che Xiao is purely because Chen Xi thinks it is quite suitable...

Shen Xudong doesn't care...

Of course, he must be Chen Xi.
