Who is still a star after rebirth?

Chapter 296 Is He Really a Genius?

Perhaps because his family is wealthy and his mother is indulgent, Su Zichu has a quirky and rebellious personality, as if he has not yet emerged from adolescence.

Lin Luo didn't hate the other person, and Lin Luo could see that Xiao Longyue didn't hate Su Zichu either. She was just simply annoyed by this cheap sister.

So even though Su Zichu was very noisy and showed off to his classmates on WeChat and phone calls, Lin Luo tried his best to cooperate.

It is normal for a little girl like this to be vain, not to mention that Su Zichu has a more extroverted personality.

"If Su Zichu really wants a role, will you agree?"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Longyue asked Lin Luo.

Lin Luo smiled and said, "There is a villain named Xiao Yu Yao Yao in the script. I feel that this character is quite suitable for Su Zichu."

“Oh, that character.”

Xiao Longyue had also read the script and immediately knew who Lin Luo was talking about.

In the plot.

This Xiaoyu Yaoyao has very bad game operation and positioning, and is vain and pretentious. However, she won the championship in a player reality show selection event held by the game company, and was hailed as "the most beautiful girl in the server" by the majority of players. She is extremely praised in the online game and even has a Xiaoyu family.

The heroine Bei Weiwei, in order to complete a task in the game, marries "Zhenshui Wuxiang".

After completing the task, Bei Weiwei forgot to cancel the relationship, and Xiaoyu Yaoyao went to seduce Zhenshui Wuxiang.

Zhenshui Wuxiang was attracted by Xiaoyu Yaoyao's beauty and dissolved his marriage with Bei Weiwei's game character Luwei Weiwei, which caused heated discussions in the server...

"Don't say it yet."

Xiao Longyue couldn't help but laugh and said, "This Xiao Yu Yaoyao is really similar to Su Zichu."

Lin Luo smiled and said, "If she really wants to act, it's not impossible for her to play this role, because she doesn't have many scenes, so even if her acting skills are not so good, she can still improve them a little bit. What's more, idol dramas don't require so much acting skills, so it's okay to just act more like a normal person."

"Thank you, husband~"

Xiao Longyue said that she would not let Su Zichu perform.

But since Lin Luo was willing to let Su Zi perform for the first time, she still thanked him.

Because Xiao Longyue knew that Lin Luo agreed to Su Zichu only for her sake.

"Just words?"

"The relatives haven't left yet. I will take good care of my husband after some time."

"You are sensible."

Lin Luo and Xiao Longyue stayed together for a while, then contacted producer Xu Sicheng to discuss tomorrow's audition.

The audition location was set at the headquarters of Mantianxing Company——

Of course, the company's headquarters is located in a rented office building, covering an area of ​​about 500 square meters. The staff size is relatively small, with only about 20 to 30 people at present.

However, He Mingxuan is actively recruiting people. The company is going to shoot and produce "Love O2O", and the number of employees will need to be around 100.

These were all arranged by Lin Luo. Most of the time, he remotely controlled He Mingxuan's work.

Whenever I have time, I will go to check the results and see how He Mingxuan's work is done.

At present, He Mingxuan seems to be doing very well. The company is managed in an orderly manner, which makes it very worry-free for him as a boss.

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, Lin Luo took Xiao Longyue to the company headquarters.

This was not the first time that Lin Luo came to the company headquarters. He was the one who looked at the site selection and made the final decision.

Entering the arranged interview room, Lin Luo saw the producer Xu Sicheng, who was probably in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses and looking quite calm.

"Hello, Director Lin. Nice to meet you. I'm Xu Sicheng!"

"Hello, Producer Xu. You are a talent that I asked my sister to invite with great difficulty."

"Haha, Director Lin, thank you for the compliment. It's half past eight now and the actors are all due. Let's chat first. How about starting the interview at nine o'clock?"

"Ah."

Lin Luo introduced Xiao Longyue beside him: "This is my girlfriend Xiao Longyue."

"Hello."

Xu Sicheng smiled and said, "I know Miss Xiao. My daughter at home is following Youth Idol Produce Camp every day. How about you sign an autograph for me later? My daughter will definitely be very happy. She likes you very much."

"no problem."

Xiao Longyue smiled and nodded.

The three of them sat down in the interview room.

Xu Sicheng coughed and said, "Director Lin, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you."

"You said."

"Our play..."

Xu Sicheng hesitated and said, "Mr. Lin, are you sure you want to direct and act in the film yourself? As far as I know, Mr. Lin has no experience as an actor, let alone as a director. The former is easy to say, after all, Love O2O does not require such high acting skills from the male and female protagonists. But directing is really a professional and delicate job, and it is not as simple as it seems. If you don't mind, I can recommend a few excellent TV directors..."

Lin Luo nodded, he knew that Xu Sicheng didn't trust him.

Not to mention Xu Sicheng, the entire entertainment industry didn't think highly of him.

This is not the fault of people in the circle. If there is a brat who just graduated from college and has never learned any directing knowledge, but he shouts that he wants to direct and act in a play?

Lin Luo is not optimistic either!
That kid is bound to fail!
But Lin Luo couldn't explain to others that he could act and understood directing because he was a reborn person.

There's really no way to explain it, so I can only show them how to do it.

Anyway, this play was invested and sponsored by ourselves, so we basically don't need any external help.

Therefore, Lin Luo has the right to have the final say, after all, the one who spends money is the boss.

However, the producer did not trust him, so Lin Luo always had to dispel his doubts.

Thinking of this, Lin Luo said, "How about this? When the filming of this drama starts, Producer Xu can go to the set to see what's going on. If I, the director, really can't do it, we can ask another director to come in temporarily to save the situation. Anyway, I will bear all the losses caused to the crew myself."

"Ok."

Seeing Lin Luo's insistence, Xu Sicheng nodded helplessly and said, "Then I will recommend a very useful assistant director to Director Lin. His name is Zhang Tai, and he is my nephew. Although he has no experience in filming, he graduated from the Directing Department of Yanjing Academy of Arts and has very good grades in school..."

"No problem. I definitely trust the people recommended by Producer Xu."

Lin Luo was secretly surprised. This Zhang Tai would become one of the famous TV directors in the country in the future.

But it's 2014 now, and Zhang Tai hasn't made it yet. I have to find a way to get him to Mantianxing.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your trust."

Xu Sicheng smiled and said, "If Director Lin feels that being a director is too tiring, you can let Zhang Tai shoot it. Anyway, you are the chief director, right?"

Lin Luo raised his eyebrows. It turned out that Xu Sicheng had this idea.

This is because he didn't believe that he could be a good director, so he found Zhang Tai, a powerful "gunman" for himself.

"How about this."

Lin Luo said, "Let's ask Director Zhang that Producer Xu mentioned to come over. Since he's the assistant director of the crew, he should also give some suggestions on the audition."

"Good good!"

Producer Xu didn't expect that Lin Luo trusted the person he recommended so much. He was overjoyed and immediately called Zhang Tai.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Tai arrived.

When Lin Luo saw the other person, he found that it was indeed the young and promising director from later generations, and he immediately greeted him warmly.

Zhang Tai is in his thirties, very young, but when Lin Luo greeted him, he was quite reserved and looked a little nervous.

Lin Luo simply didn't show too much enthusiasm: "The actors are all here, let's start the audition."

……

Most of the actors who auditioned were contacted through Xu Sicheng.

No matter who is auditioning for what role, there will be no problem with the basic appearance, because Xu Sicheng has already screened them in advance.

Lin Luo basically did not express any opinions and tried his best to let Xu Sicheng and Zhang Tai discuss.

Xiao Longyue was eager to try, and from time to time she expressed her opinions, saying that she thought so-and-so was more suitable...

Since Lin Luo brought Xiao Longyue here, he gave her the right to speak.

So Xu Sicheng did not ignore Xiao Longyue. Instead, he discussed it seriously with her and Zhang Tai.

Lin Luo observed silently. He felt that Xiao Longyue's thinking was quite clear and many of his ideas coincided with his own.

Although some parts are inevitably a bit immature, there is generally no problem.

After a round of interviews, two familiar figures came in, one was Chen Linyu and the other was Lu Qingqing.

"Chen Linyu? Lu Qingqing?"

Xu Sicheng didn't lie before, he was really watching "Youth Idol Produce Camp", so he recognized Chen Linyu and Lu Qingqing in an instant.

"Hello, teachers."

Chen Linyu smiled and said, "I'm not here for an interview. It's us, Qingqing, who are going to interview for the role of Meng Yiran. Please, teachers, please be generous."

"That's it."

Xu Sicheng felt a little regretful. Chen Linyu was so popular, it would have been great if she could have an audition.

However, although Lu Qingqing was not the top contestant in the show, she was also a very popular contestant, so he smiled and looked at Lin Luo.

It goes without saying that Chen Linyu and Lu Qingqing were called by Lin Luo for an audition, so he didn't express any opinion.

Zhang Tai next to him was also silent.

"Meng Yiran?" Lin Luo looked at Lu Qingqing and smiled, "Very good, this role is a school beauty, and in the script setting, her looks are comparable to Bei Weiwei. I was originally worried about where to find a girl who is as pretty as Yueyue to play Meng Yiran."

Everyone laughed and said that Lin Luo was using Lu Qingqing to praise Xiao Longyue's beauty.

But what he said is true, Lu Qingqing's performance as Meng Yiran is indeed very convincing with her appearance.

You should know that in the script setting, Meng Yiran defeated Bei Weiwei in the school beauty contest and won first place.

Although the script also explained that Bei Weiwei did not participate in the competition at all, and was just a random photo taken by a passerby, Meng Yiran used a super-retouched photo when judging...

In short, the script has been emphasizing that Bei Weiwei is the most beautiful girl in the whole play. This is also very convincing. Xiao Longyue is indeed a little more beautiful than Lu Qingqing.

"I think it's okay too."

Xiao Longyue blinked at Chen Linyu and said, "The actor Xiaoyu recommended must be right."

"Since both Director Lin and Miss Xiao think it's okay, I think we should just decide on this role."

After all, Xu Sicheng is an old man in the circle and is good at observing people's words and expressions. Seeing that Lin Luo and Xiao Longyue have expressed their opinions, he knows that this role will definitely belong to Lu Qingqing.

Zhang Tai next to him nodded. He was called by Xu Sicheng and his opinions always followed Xu Sicheng's.

Lu Qingqing smiled: "Thank you teachers, Yueyue, let's have dinner together tonight!"

"it is good."

Xiao Longyue smiled and exchanged a few words with Lu Qingqing and Chen Linyu.

Then Chen Linyu said, "There are still actors to be interviewed later, so we won't disturb them for now. Goodbye Yueyue, Linluo, we're leaving first."

"Ah."

Lin Luo nodded.

After Chen Linyu and the others left, the staff outside called out, "Next, Su Zichu."

Xiao Longyue whispered: "She's here."

Xu Sicheng and Zhang Tai immediately looked at Xiao Longyue.

Lin Luo explained: "My girlfriend's sister."

The two nodded in understanding. It seemed like this was another person with connections.

However, after Su Zichu entered the room, Xu Sicheng and Zhang Tai's eyes lit up at the same time. This girl is so beautiful!
This Su Zichu, together with the previous Lu Qingqing, and the female lead Xiao Longyue, I can’t say how good the acting is in "Love O2O", but at least the actors’ looks are definitely more stunning than the other!
"Sister, brother-in-law~"

Su Zichu smiled and said, "Long time no see. By the way, those two who just left, could they be Chen Linyu and Lu Qingqing?"

Lin Luo said: "It's them."

Su Zichu immediately said with regret: "What a pity, I was just thinking about whether I should get their autographs, but they turned around and left."

Xiao Longyue coughed and said, "Su Zichu, this is an interview. Be serious. Which role are you auditioning for?"

"I do not know."

Su Zichu stuck out his tongue and said, "I just told you last night. I don't even know what the script of your play looks like, so how can I know what role to audition for?"

With a turn of his eyes, Su Zichu stared at Xiao Longyue and said, "Can I play the second female lead?"

Xiao Longyue was about to speak when Lin Luo smiled and said, "Sure, I'll let you play the second female lead, but the pay is very low. How about a package price of 50,000 yuan?"

"No problem, no problem. The pay is no big deal. I just want to play the second female lead!"

Su Zichu was overjoyed.

Xu Sicheng glanced at Lin Luo.

Lin Luo explained in a low voice: "The character of Xiaoyu Yaoyao."

Xu Sicheng was stunned. That Xiaoyu Yaoyao was nothing but the second female lead.

The second female lead in this drama is Bei Weiwei's roommate Zhao Erxi, right? She has a romantic relationship with the second male lead.

"No, if I must say, Xiaoyu Yaoyao can also be considered the second female lead, but unfortunately she is a villainous second female lead, with similar attributes to the school beauty Meng Yiran..."

When Xu Sicheng thought of this, he almost laughed out loud, but he forced himself to hold it back.

"Then I'll wait for you outside - so you two are living together, right?" Su Zichu asked.

"You go outside first."

Xiao Longyue waved her hand: "There are people behind us."

"Oh."

As Su Zichu walked out, she muttered quietly, "What are you so proud of? She just became a star because of her boyfriend."

"What did you say!" Xiao Longyue's face turned dark.

"I didn't say anything." Su Zichu said with a playful smile: "Sister, I'll wait for you outside."

Su Zichu went out.

Soon afterwards, another familiar figure appeared in the interview room.

Looking at the person coming, Xu Sicheng was slightly surprised. Is today the team building for "Youth Idol Produce Camp"?
Why is Ning Xuan here too?
This Ning Xuan is also a popular contestant of “Youth Idol Produce Camp”, even more popular than the previous Lu Qingqing!

"Xuanxuan."

Xiao Longyue greeted him with a smile. They were all contestants of “Youth Idol Produce Camp”, so of course they knew each other.

"Hello, Yueyue~"

Ning Xuan quickly greeted him with a smile, but she felt depressed in her heart.

You are all contestants of “Youth Idol Produce Camp”!

Why is it that Xiao Longyue is sitting there like a judge, while I need to audition?
Although Sister Jenny said that she had already informed Lin Luo that she would definitely be able to interview for the second female lead in this play as long as she came.

But when Ning Xuan saw Xiao Longyue sitting there, looking down at her, she still felt unhappy.

"The sisters at the training center are right. Xiao Longyue is just relying on her boyfriend. Without her boyfriend, she would be nothing more than a vase."

Of course, no matter how unhappy she was, Ning Xuan still had a beautiful smile on her face, and even tried to please Xiao Longyue:

"If possible, Yueyue, you must choose me. I will definitely play the role of Zhao Erxi well and be a good supporting role for you~"

There is no way. The situation is stronger than people. If you want to stay in Lin Luo's crew, you can definitely do the right thing by pleasing Xiao Longyue.

It would be better if I could please Lin Luo directly, but there seems to be no chance at the moment, and there should be a lot of girls who want to please Lin Luo, right?
Ning Xuan thought helplessly.

Lin Luo smiled and said, "Xuan Xuan, the second female role is yours. I believe in you. You don't need to audition."

After a pause, Lin Luo said to Xu Sicheng: "Xuan Xuan was recommended by Sister Jenny. She is so popular, and it will also be a bonus for our play."

"no problem."

Xu Sicheng nodded. One reason was that Lin Luo had already made the decision, and it would be difficult for him to veto it.

Secondly, Xu Sicheng discovered that although the actors in this play were all newcomers, their popularity was not bad at all!

Xiao Longyue, Ning Xuan, Lu Qingqing...

They are all popular contestants of "Youth Idol Produce Camp"!

Not to mention Lin Luo, he has been on the hot search many times!

Although he has been called a scumbag by netizens, everyone's attitude towards him is more criticism than disgust!

This is very important. The fact that everyone is criticizing Lin Luo shows that most people like Lin Luo, but they just don’t like his frivolousness with women.

"From this point of view, Lin Luo should have some traffic, plus his relationship with Xiao Longyue has been reported all the time."

If this drama is filmed, even if the audience is curious about the relationship between Lin Luo and Xiao Longyue, they will not be able to help but want to click to watch it, right?
After watching the show, the probability of the audience staying is also very high.

Because Xu Sicheng had already read the script of "Love O2O".

As a producer who has been in the industry for many years, Xu Sicheng can guarantee that the script of "Love O2O" can definitely beat more than 95% of domestic idol dramas!

"The quality of this book is even higher than Full House!"

Although "Full House" is wonderful, the plot design is still a bit old-fashioned. For example, the male and female protagonists are contracted lovers, and the setting that the male and female protagonists are bickering with each other at every turn is the most common thing in idol dramas.

But "Love O2O" is very advanced.

The story revolves around online games and features various famous scenes of male and female protagonists showing off!
Moreover, the requirements for acting skills are really low. For example, for the male protagonist, he only needs to be cool and handsome, because the character setting is relatively cool, he is also the school idol, and a computer genius...

The heroine is responsible for being as beautiful as a flower, and as for Xiao Longyue, she is playing her true self!
So even though the outside world was not optimistic about "Love O2O", after reading the script, Xu Sicheng decided to give his all to make this drama a success!
The only thing that made Xu Sicheng unhappy was that Lin Luo actually wanted to be the director himself.

But even this little bit of dissatisfaction disappeared when Lin Luo agreed to let Zhang Tai join the team -

"It doesn't matter if Lin Luo can't direct, as long as Zhang Tai can shoot it. If Lin Luo finds out that he can't do it, he probably won't insist on directing. He can just put his name as the chief director."

Xu Sicheng thought so.

……

"Apart from the roles that have already been decided, the only ones left with fierce competition are Xiaoling and Sisi, as well as the male lead's three roommates."

Xiaoling and Sisi, like Zhao Erxi, are Bei Weiwei's roommates. Although the plot does not unfold, there are quite a few shots of them.

After all, he is the heroine's roommate.

The heroine often stays in the dormitory and has a good relationship with her roommates, so there is always some interaction between them.

In the same way, the three roommates of the male protagonist also have a strong presence, and there will be plot development, because the male protagonist not only plays games with the three roommates, but also starts a business with the three roommates...

"I think, since there are so many beauties in our play, why not create a feast of beauty!"

Xu Sicheng smiled and said, "For the remaining actors, if the acting skills are not too different, we should try to choose the ones with better looks."

"I agree."

Xiao Longyue smiled and said, "Let's write down who each role is suitable for on a piece of paper. If everyone writes the same name for the corresponding role, it means that our first impression is the same, and we can just take it as the result. But if the names we write are different, we can continue to discuss..."

"This is a good idea."

In fact, Xu Sicheng was very afraid of Xiao Longyue, a girl who knew nothing but liked to rely on her boyfriend's support and interfere in the crew's affairs.

But after meeting her today, I feel that Xiao Longyue is quite insightful and not the kind of girl who is confused.

And Lin Luo specially brought Xiao Longyue to interview actors together, perhaps he also intended to cultivate this girlfriend?
"It shows that the public opinion on the Internet is bullshit, saying that Lin Luo and Xiao Longyue are in a relationship crisis. These two people obviously have a very good relationship."

Xu Sicheng thought in his heart:

But what is the relationship between Lin Luo and Xu Yifei, Zhang Xinyin and others?
Xu Sicheng looked at Lin Luo. He not only observed Xiao Longyue, but also secretly observed Lin Luo.

After this observation, Xu Sicheng found that Lin Luo did not look like a college student at all, he was very mature.

During the audition process, whenever there were problems with the actors' performances, Lin Luo was always able to point them out very accurately!

This shows that Lin Luo is very good at acting!
But in the information about Lin Luo, there was never a single mention that Lin Luo had studied acting.

“Is he really a genius?”
