The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 266 Battle for the Corner
After the news spread that Han Jiadong was planning to film a domestic TV series, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

After all, film directors themselves are a step above TV drama directors, and Han Jiadong is still at the top of film directors.

When he comes to film a TV series, it gives people the impression that he is like an immortal descending to earth, condescending to others.

Especially the TV series they filmed were adapted from low-grade online novels.

The online literary community was undoubtedly excited after hearing the news.

Because this represents the recognition of them from the best directors in the country.

Even the performance of the novel "The World of Cultivation" is improving rapidly.

Before this, "World of Cultivation" was probably ranked fifth or sixth on the entire network.

After this, he quickly rushed to the second position.

The first is the unbeatable "Fights Break the Sphere".

Whether it is worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners, or the result of cultural invasion, this is a common phenomenon in China now.

Compared with the online literary world, the entertainment industry’s reaction was even stronger.

"Why do you want to make a TV series?"

In the past, the popularity of "World of Cultivation" on the entire Internet could only occasionally surpass "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortality". Most of the time, it was suppressed, but now it has soared to second place.

"I've always had this idea, is it weird?"

Han Jiadong could roughly guess what she was thinking.

"American dramas are also TV dramas."

Han Jiadong smiled: "Don't you stop filming TV series?"

"Who says I won't shoot anymore? I just didn't find the right one before."

Liu Yifei was immediately disgusted: "How come there is such a role? No, why do you think I am suitable for this kind of role?"

Han Jiadong originally planned to film "In the Name of the People", but his father not only failed to help pass the review, but directly killed the drama.

Although they are all TV series, domestic audiences always subconsciously feel that American TV series are of higher quality than domestic TV series, and are not even lower than domestic movies.

Although this book, which was serialized two years ago, did not get its first monthly number one on Qidian.com until this year, it has ranked first on the Internet for more than a year.

Even an actor like Zhang Ziyi, who only makes movies, has someone to spy on.

"It's not the ordinary kind of clowning, the kind where you have sores on your face and pus all over your body."

Mobile Bookstore subscriptions have exceeded 3 million!
The previous second place was "Swallowing Starry Sky" which took over the banner after the completion of "Douluo Dalu".

"The heroine? Isn't the heroine Xiaoguo or the one playing with paper cranes?"

"Isn't it strange?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Yes, yes, but can you accept being ugly?"

Then there are "The Evil King from Another World", "Eternal Life", and "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality".

"..."

"I plan to shoot this TV series on a seasonal basis in the same way as Game of Thrones. Once it's filmed, I won't say it will surpass Game of Thrones. I'll try to catch up."

The current performance of Game of Thrones, which has only produced one TV series, is not considered top-notch among American TV series, but its performance in being broadcast in hundreds of countries can be said to surpass all domestic TV series in an instant.

"'Game of Thrones' is also a TV series!"

"That's different."

"What's the difference?"

"What's unacceptable about this?"

After that, there are also popular books such as "Shading the Sky", "Dzi Bead Transformation", "Immortal Rebellion", etc. which were just serialized soon.

For example: Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up: "Is there any role suitable for me?"

The second place has changed several times, but it is still the unbeatable number one.

Even though "Boys Over Flowers" was broadcast in hundreds of countries before, it was only popular in Southeast Asia, and its performance in Europe and the United States was still mediocre.

Liu Yifei didn't know how to refute.

And it widens the gap between the later books.

Many people even called Han Jiadong directly.

Liu Yifei said in embarrassment: "Is there anyone suitable for me?"

"That's an American TV show."

"Huh~"

Han Jiadong: "Do you want love or not? This is the heroine!"

But Game of Thrones has achieved impressive results in various regions around the world.

Media reporters rushed to report it, and actors and stars took notice.

Liu Yifei has obviously done her homework in advance.

"They only have more scenes in the first and second seasons, but not much in the later seasons."

"Oh, I haven't seen the character you mentioned appear yet."

"Then you read the novel first. The script is not ready yet, and there is still some time before casting."

"Then...can you keep the character for me first?"

"Alright, alright."

Han Jiadong said it reluctantly, but in his heart he had already determined that Liu Yifei was the first choice.

When it comes to the heroine of fairy tale dramas, who can be more suitable than Liu Yifei?
And although this character's image is somewhat obscured in the original novel, there is no doubt that he is a very popular character.

He is so kind to the protagonist that if the protagonist keeps a harem, even men will not stand it.

Of course, if the protagonist, as a woman, takes off her clothes in front of him and causes his nose to bleed, he will think that he is a man who has fallen into some kind of powerful trick, and he will not take the initiative to start a harem.

After Liu Yifei got the heroine's promise, she naturally hung up the phone happily.

But she didn't know that being a heroine didn't mean she was the actress with the most roles.

Because the role of Pu Yao, the second male lead, will be played by an actor or an actress, Han Jiadong has not decided yet.

Compared with the heroine who will only appear in the second season, Pu Yao has more scenes.

After all, he lives in the male protagonist's sea of ​​consciousness, which is equivalent to being with the male protagonist at all times.

At the same time, he is also the hero’s golden finger.

Most of the things the male protagonist learned were taught by him.

The function is similar to Grandpa Ring or Zuo Wei in "Soul of Chess".

The image setting is also similar to that of Zuo Wei.

Gender is male, but looks like a woman.

His personality is venomous and even perverted.

After all, he is a big monster that has been imprisoned for thousands of years.

The female characters in the novel have too few roles compared to the male characters, and even the female protagonist does not officially appear until the second season.

Although Han Jiadong would not change the role of Pu Yao to a female, he does prefer to use an actress to play it.

Who to use has not yet been determined.

The character's image in the novel is as handsome as a woman, with a charming and stunning aura.

It's obviously not suitable for girls like Liu Yifei who are more suitable for girls with light makeup and more pure looks.

It's definitely inappropriate for Yang Mi to have such big lumps on her chest.

You also have to consider that domineering aura...

Of course, the heroine did not officially appear in the first season, but it does not mean that she has no role at all. The phrase "Don't forget! Even if you die, you can't forget!" that often echoes in the ears of the male protagonist Zuo Mo is exactly what the female protagonist said to Zuo Mo.

After spending more than half a month arranging the work for the third season of "The Voice", the first version of the ten-episode script for the first season of "The World of Cultivation" adapted according to Han Jiadong's request has also been completed.

Han Jiadong read it over, made some suggestions for revision, and then sent the casting request.

For example, the requirements for the most important male protagonist, Zuo Mo, are very simple: under twenty-five years old, with good acting skills.

There is no requirement for appearance.

The image of the male protagonist in the novel has a zombie face, and it is not the zombie face of a cold-faced handsome guy, but the kind that is so thin that it looks like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin. His face has also been changed and his face is necrotic. Being unable to make any expressions is not only unsightly, it can even be said to look scary.

Of course, it is impossible for Han Jiadong to really follow the original work.

Otherwise, the image of the male protagonist alone will scare the audience away.

It is impossible for an actor to achieve the level of "zombie face".

At most, he would play a man with facial paralysis.

It’s just that although the male protagonist’s face is paralyzed, his personality is as out-of-the-box as Monkey Sun. Many scenes can only be completed with eyes and body movements, which is undoubtedly a huge test for the actor.

The requirements for the second male lead, Pu Yao, are also very simple: good-looking, full of aura, regardless of gender.

The third male lead, Wei Sheng (Season 1), is portrayed in the novel as usually unassuming, but once he moves his hands, he is like an unsheathed sword, with its edge clearly revealed.

Han Jiadong would not have such abstract requirements. He only had one requirement for this reliable senior brother: to have a sense of security.

Then the heroine Xiao Guo in the first season: cute, cute.

The second female lead, Li Xian'er: The eldest lady is dignified and quirky.

The third female senior sister Li Fengying: heroic and heroic.

Female Master No. 4 Shi Fengrong: Over thirty-five years old, female, good-looking.

Female number 5: good-looking, good acting skills and temperament.

……

Of course, in addition to these different requirements, all characters also have a unified requirement: having read the original novel.

Whether you are suitable for it or not, and which role you are suitable for, you can compare and judge by yourself through the original novel.

After the audition announcement was sent out, a large number of resumes were received quickly.

Han Jiadong didn't care about the early screening, but he wasn't idle either.

There were quite a few people who called him directly to get information.

For example, Tang Yan had called him before, but he dismissed her by saying, "Wait until the audition announcement comes out."

"Which role do you think is more suitable for me to audition for?"

"Which role would you rather play?"

"I prefer Li Xian'er."

Tang Yan said a little unsure.

Among the several important female characters, the number one heroine is definitely not suitable because her image alone is not suitable.

And the female No. 3 is not old enough, so she is excluded.

The rest seemed quite suitable to her.

Among them, Li Xian'er ranked highest, and she kept flirting with the male protagonist through paper cranes. She looked more like the female protagonist than the simple doormat Xiaoguo who ranked first.

Based on this comparison, if she could choose by herself, of course she would choose Li Xian'er.

Even in addition to Li Xian'er, she felt that her image was suitable for the role of Pu Yao, but after all, she was playing a man. She had no experience in this area and felt that her aura was not that strong. After thinking about it, she gave up.

After Han Jiadong thought for a while, he said to her: "You can try out these two roles, Pu Yao and Li Xian'er."

Not long after sending Tang Yan away, Xu Qin called again.

Compared with Tang Yan who had to seek Han Jiadong's opinion, Xu Qin was much more domineering.

"The role of Shi Fengrong must be left to me!"

Some of the male actors also called Han Jiadong, such as Huang Xiaoming.

"Director Han, do you think it's appropriate for me to audition for Wei Sheng or Pu Yao?"

After Han Jiadong considered it, he rejected both options.

A few years ago, he might have been allowed to try the role of senior brother, but now... his good-natured character has long been smoothed out, whether it is the paranoid, tough and secure Wei Sheng, or the poisonous and perverted Pu Yao , are no longer suitable.

In contrast, the role of Lin Qian can be said to be tailor-made for him, and he plays his true character.

He can have a pleasant conversation with anyone, even his opponents, and you will feel like a spring breeze after talking to him.

So Han Jiadong directly recommended him to audition for the role of Lin Qian, the ultimate villain.

In addition to those who make phone calls, there are also those who come directly to the door in person.

For example, Yang Mi brought several newcomers from the company recommended to her by Han Jiadong to find Han Jiadong.

Seeing Han Jiadong again, Dilraba seemed at a loss.

After everyone else said hello to Han Jiadong, she said in a panic: "My name is Di Lieba. Thank you Director Han for recommending me to the boss before."

Zhang Tianai, Li Shun, and Wu Jinyan were surprised at first when they heard what she said, and then looked at her with envy.

Yang Mi said: "You don't have to be envious, you were all recommended to me by Director Han."

The three of them were even more surprised when they heard this, and then they couldn't hide their happiness and excitement.

Yang Mi ignored Han Jiadong's look and said to Han Jiadong: "Are there any roles suitable for them this time? You recommended them to me. You can't ignore them."

Han Jiadong glared at her angrily: "Are you treating me as after-sales service?"

Yang Mi was not affected at all, and she even glanced at the four artists she brought with her: "The opportunity is right in front of you. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not."

Hearing what the boss said, the bold Zhang Tianai and Li Shun hesitated for a moment, then hugged Han Jiadong's arms, rubbed them in their arms, and began to beg.

Han Jiadong quickly stopped them, looked at the four of them, and waved to Dilraba, who was a little embarrassed: "Come here."

After Dilraba came over in confusion, he stretched out his hand and pinched Dilraba's chubby face. He saw Dilraba standing there with a frightened look on her face. Not daring to hide, he retracted his hand with satisfaction.

"You can try out the role of Xiaoguo then."

Hearing what Han Jiadong said, not to mention newcomers like Dilraba and Zhang Tianai, even Yang Mi was a little stunned.

She brought these newcomers here, thinking that she would be able to get audition opportunities for the female lead, or even roles such as Xu Qing, Hao Min, Xu Yixia, and Gong Yangqing, who had fewer roles, which would be considered good.

In the end, Han Jiadong actually gave his new female lead the opportunity to audition?

Originally, she thought that Han Jiadong was optimistic about Reba just because he said that Reba had a chance to win the Golden Eagle Goddess. Looking at the situation, Han Jiadong seemed to be more optimistic about Reba than she thought?

Seeing that Dilraba was still in a daze, Yang Mi poked her with a complicated mood: "Why don't you thank Director Han quickly?"

After being reminded like this, Dilraba came back to her senses and said excitedly and happily: "Thank you, thank you Director Han, I will work hard."

Yang Mi struck again while the iron was hot and asked, "Where are the others?"

"You can figure out the rest by yourself."

Han Jiadong is not kind enough to help each of them choose a suitable role.

Yang Mi is not disappointed, today’s harvest is already big enough.

But a few others inevitably looked gloomy.

Especially Zhang Tianai, who thought she had great hopes.

"what about me?"

Yang Mi asked again.

Han Jiadong's answer was still the same: "You have to figure it out yourself."

"???"
