The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 160 Hao Lei
Regarding the plot of "Dae Jang Geum", if it is directly and completely moved over, then there is no similar situation in the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Daming has no history of younger brothers rebelling and overthrowing their older brothers' rule.

So there needs to be a change here, and Li Shengyao changed it to the story of Zhu Di defeating Zhu Yunwen.

The overall plot is still similar, the heroine's parents were murdered by a traitor in the palace, after the change of emperor, the heroine entered the palace, and finally let the traitor bring justice to justice for her parents.

So if it is a story that happened in Zhu Di's time, the clothes of the characters in the play must naturally conform to the habits of this time period.

Li Shengyao prepared a total of four sets of clothes, which were worn by ordinary people in Zhu Di's period, wealthy people, ordinary palace ladies, and palace ladies.

He needs to see how Tong Lei, Hao Lei, and Shen Aojun feel in these four sets of clothes.

The overall dressing style of women in the Ming Dynasty was the jacket and skirt.

The so-called jacket can be understood as a top, which can be a long shirt or a short shirt.

Women in the Ming Dynasty must wear tops and skirts.

The TV series about Tan Yunxian starring Liu Shishi, generally speaking, the costumes are still very well-founded, with a high degree of restoration, and Liu Shishi is very beautiful in it.

Not long after, the makeup artist's work was completed, and Tong Lei's three women returned to the conference room at the same time.

All three of them wore the clothes of ordinary women in the Zhu Di period of the Ming Dynasty.

On the top is an off-white short-sleeved blouse with a straight collar and wide placket, and on the bottom is a gray horse-face skirt.

The three women are all very beautiful, standing there at this moment, their clothes fluttering without wind.

Tong Lei had a kind face, Hao Lei was confident, and Shen Aojun smiled shyly.

Each of the three has its own characteristics.

But generally speaking, Tong Lei's effect is slightly worse. Her figure is not as good as the other two. The latter two have much larger chests, which can hold up their clothes better and have a more noble air.

Li Shengyao looked carefully, the three women were all professional actors, so naturally they would not be afraid and showed off generously.

He watched for a while, then clapped his hands and asked them to change their clothes.

Not long after, the three women changed into another outfit and entered the conference room. The style of the clothes this time was actually the same, except that the colors were brighter.

The upper body is a light green blouse, and the lower body is a dark blue horse-face skirt.

Wearing brightly colored clothes, the skin color of the wearer is especially important at this time.

The most prominent one is the fair-skinned Hao Lei. She changed into the second set of clothes, and she looked very energetic and confident.

Tong Lei and Shen Aojun, who had slightly darker skin tones, looked much worse this time. These two looked like girls who grew up in the countryside.

Although the heroine of "Dae Jang Geum" is not a rich lady, she grew up in the palace. Although she has to work, most of them are indoor jobs. Her skin is fair, not dark at all.

Li Shengyao's heart gradually turned towards Hao Lei.

He then waved and told the three women to change into a third outfit.

The three girls left one after another, and their manager also left.

Li Shengyao was drinking tea from a teacup. At this moment, Hao Lei's manager came back.

"Hello, Director Li."

"what's wrong?"

"Director Li, I want to tell you about the situation of our Hao Lei. She actually has a drama in the second half of the year, but she is willing to turn down the next drama in order to act in your drama. She really likes Fenghua drama. She is also willing to cut her salary in half, so we only need half of the market salary."

The agent was full of sincerity, bent over, and had a very low posture, "No matter how you want to act, she can cooperate with you. Although she is not well-known now, she likes acting very much. When she was in school, she was a major in their class. Grades are the best students."

Li Shengyao smiled, "Okay, I know."

Hao Lei's manager nodded, and then withdrew.

Less than 2 minutes after this person left, Tong Lei's manager also came in and expressed similar conditions, followed by Shen Aojun's manager, who also expressed his attitude.

They all said that their artists like Fenghua dramas, they can make sacrifices, and they will cooperate 100% with Lee Sung Yew.

The assistant waited for the three of them to leave, and couldn't help but said: "Boss, it's hard to choose. The conditions for choosing anyone are similar."

Li Shengyao shook his head, "What's so hard to choose? Of course, choose the one that best fits the role. Don't you think I'll choose the cheapest one?"

His tone was a bit harsh, "Remember, Fenghua's TV dramas are not about the cost, not about the person who is easy to use and save money, but the person who is the most suitable."

In the future, it is impossible for him to choose people for every TV series, especially after he makes a movie, the TV series will be in charge of others.

Li Shengyao still hopes that the people of Fenghua Company can understand that quality comes first and everything else comes second.

Not long after, Tong Lei, Hao Lei, and Shen Aojun changed into the last two sets of clothes in turn, and Hao Lei was the one with the best effect.

Hao Lei has good looks, a good figure, and a fair complexion. She is the most suitable person for the hostess.

Li Shengyao and other three actresses changed out of their ancient costumes and put on their own clothes, then expressed their gratitude to Tong Lei and Shen Aojun, and then bluntly said that they were not suitable.

Tong Lei, Shen Aojun, and their manager couldn't hide the loneliness and disappointment in their eyes.

But they didn't dare to say anything more to Li Shengyao, so they left politely.

The rest of Hao Lei and her manager looked at each other with excitement, the excitement in their eyes was beyond words, and the two of them were so happy that they almost cried out.

Li Shengyao smiled and asked Hao Lei to sit down with her manager.

"I chose almost all the actresses in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, but you are the most suitable. You are very beautiful, with a kind of confidence and extravagance, so I chose you."

"But if you really want to act, you must show your attitude."

Li Shengyao was too lazy to play tricks, so he spoke directly.

Where he is now, if an actress plays tricks on him, she will only humiliate herself.

Before Hao Lei could speak, her agent took the lead and said, "Director Li, everything I just told you is valid. Our attitude has not changed. If you have any other conditions, you can ask them at any time."

Li Shengyao chuckled and shook his head, he wasn't angry, that's how it is at this time.

"The attitude I'm talking about is not asking you to cut your salary in half, nor is it asking you to act like a cow to me. My request is that after signing the contract, study the script carefully and act well. This drama is very important, so don't mess up when acting. Come, or the consequences will be serious."

He then talked about the general experience of the heroine in "Da Shang Palace" and his requirements for actresses.

"Although the heroine's personality looks similar to other heroines in film and television dramas, she is all great and upright, but I don't want the audience to see a heroine who has no characteristics, no personality, and no memories."

"You need to show her intelligence, kindness, and tenacity, as well as her overall attitude."

For acting, Hao Lei is still very confident, and she is a proud person. After hearing Li Shengyao's words, it can be said that she has given an actor great respect, and she is even more happy. She thinks that Li Shengyao's character of pursuing quality, Much like her.

"Director Li, I must prepare well and act well."

"Okay, sign the contract, and then I'll give you the script."
