The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 115 Yan Bingyan

At 2001 a.m. on September 9, 28, in a billiards hall in Haiding District, Yanjing, a beautiful woman was playing with a pole.

Her posture is very standard, and her hand holding the club is very steady. It is obvious that she often plays billiards.

Not far behind this woman stood several young men, the leader was tall and handsome, very dazzling, this man was Li Shengyao.

He came here this time to visit Yan Bingyan, an actress he likes very much.

Sister Yan is from Yanjing. She went on a trip a few days ago and came back yesterday.

Li Shengyao got the news and led the people here.

She is not very beautiful. Among the post-[-]s actresses, she is not comparable to Jiang Qinqin, Gao Yuanyuan, and Li Xiaolan, but among ordinary people, she is still pretty.

At this time, many people around were staring at Yan Bingyan, and some bums whistled from time to time.

She was probably used to it long ago, and she didn't care, just playing billiards with the two girls on her own.

"Director, do you want me to identify myself?"

"Forget it, go out and wait."

Many people smoke in the billiard hall, and Li Shengyao doesn't like the smell here.

He then led the people away.

An hour later, Yan Bingyan and two female companions came out, and Li Shengyao and the others came forward and revealed their identities.

"Miss Yan, there is a teahouse in front, let's have a cup of tea together?"

Yan Bingyan was a little surprised. She had naturally heard of Li Shengyao's name, but she didn't expect that Li Shengyao would come to her door in person and waited for her for an hour.

"Okay, I'm familiar with the teahouse, I'll take you there."

After a while, the two parties sat down and exchanged pleasantries, and then Li Shengyao expressed his intention of coming.

"Playing a policeman?"

When Yan Bingyan heard this, her eyes were filled with shock.

A few days ago, she just received a phone invitation from another crew. It was also a criminal investigation drama called "Extraordinary Cases". The leading actor was Liu Yunlong and the leading actress was Da Taohong.

The role that the crew planned for Yan Bingyan could be regarded as the fourth female lead.

She was traveling at the time, so she said that after returning to Yanjing, she would go there to negotiate.

Unexpectedly, there is another criminal investigation drama now, and this time it is the female lead.

It was upgraded.

Yan Bingyan's acting skills are good, but her audience popularity can only be said to be mediocre. Since she starred in "The Beauty's Past" in [-], she hasn't been a leading actress in the past two years.

In the first half of this year, I played a female No. [-], and that drama was called "It's You".

This position is slowly falling.

Of course, even though she is no longer the starring role, she is an award-winning person with a good salary. Even if she is the female No. [-], the salary for a drama is as low as the salary of ordinary Yanjing people for two or three years.

She doesn't need to worry about life, and she has no plans to get married. Now acting is more of a matter of fate.

Although she is less than 30 years old, she no longer expects to be popular, she just doesn't have the qualifications.

I will accept dramas that I am interested in, and I will accept dramas that I am not interested in, but I will accept dramas with a lot of money.

"Yes, play the policeman, are you interested?"

Since her debut, Yan Bingyan has acted as a policeman in two TV series, one movie, and a soldier in one TV series.

Li Shengyao is not sure if she still wants to play the policeman now.

"I want to read the script?"

"no problem."

Li Shengyao then took out the outline of the "Signal" story and handed it to Yan Bingyan.

"This is the outline of the story, the introduction of the heroine"

"Connecting across time and space, this setting is quite novel."

Yan Bingyan quickly read the synopsis of "Signal".

Li Shengyao then handed over a part of the heroine's script.

Yan Bingyan took it and read it. She read it very quickly, flipping the pages of the book.

"Director Li, may I ask, why did you choose me?"

"You look more suitable, you have acting skills, and you have experience."

The most taboo thing in criminal investigation dramas is Xuanbin taking the lead. Whether it is a male lead or a female lead, don't be too beautiful, just about the same.

The most important thing is that the hero and heroine have character temperament, which is convincing.

It's like Fan Bingbing's performance of "Space Hunting", so beautiful, all the shots are beautiful, and there is no military temperament.

Such an actor is very good.

The appearance is passable, and the acting skills are the best.

In criminal investigation dramas more than ten years later, there will often be two male protagonists, and then the producer will market some sense of CP.

Li Shengyao didn't understand why these people went crazy, they wanted to engage in CP for everything, it was so embarrassing.

In his "Signal", the hero and heroine don't need to be too handsome or beautiful, as long as they have acting skills.

Yan Bingyan was happy when she heard the words, "Director, thank you for your approval. When will this drama be filmed?"

"In half a month at the earliest, in a month at the latest."

"I like the setting of this plot very much, but..."

Don't be afraid of everything.

Li Shengyao kept smiling, but Yan Bingyan couldn't do it, so he thought about other people.

"But I was invited by the crew of "Extraordinary Cases" before, wait a moment, I will explain to them."

"Row."

Yan Bingyan nodded, then took out her mobile phone in person, and called the producer of "Extraordinary Case", saying that she had seen another book now and liked it very much, "Extraordinary Case" would not be able to be performed, and she said that she would definitely go there next time she was invited.

Yan Bingyan looks very free and easy, and has acting skills, but when facing the producer, her tone is very humble.

This is actually the normal posture of an actor.

He is not an irreplaceable person, so how could he handle it in front of the producer.

After a while, she hung up the phone, "Director Li, I'm ready, I'm willing to play "Signal"."

She just read a little bit of the script, and she is not sure about the character of the heroine, but judging from the outline of the story, this criminal investigation drama has a very different setting, and the heroine has been involved in the case from beginning to end, and Not staying out, not a vase, not someone who has a negative impact on the progress of the plot.

Yan Bingyan is afraid of the kind of heroine who doesn't do anything and will end up holding her back.

The heroine of "Signal" should not be set like that.

Li Shengyao stood up happily, and stretched out his hand, "Miss Yan, you will definitely not regret this choice."

An hour later, Fenghua Film and Television Company signed a contract with Yan Bingyan. Li Shengyao gave Yan Bingyan the complete script, and called Guo Xiaodong and Zhang Zhijian over, and the four of them had a meal together.

These three people are all actors with higher attributes. When they got together, they were a little awkward at first, but soon there was a feeling of seeing each other late. After a meal, the three of them chatted very well.

Li Shengyao sat and listened all the time, rarely speaking, but he was in a very good mood.

He is very satisfied with the three leading actors he has found. Yan Bingyan is the most talented, Zhang Zhijian is the second, and Guo Xiaodong is the weakest, but they can all be said to be acting.

Acting is to act honestly, there is nothing superfluous.

Such actors don't need the director to worry too much.

Next, after the script has passed the review, people can be arranged to go to Shanghai to prepare in advance.
