Chapter 96: Rejected for being too handsome
"Great, Shen Lang, you opened your own company and invested in your own movies, but you didn't ask me to act in them."

"It's unfair, Sister Xun. I can't make an appointment with you."

Zhou Xun smiled. She didn’t blame Shen Lang. She was just joking.

Because she really doesn't have any schedule, her schedule is fully booked from the beginning of this year to the end of the year.

A total of one TV series and three movies.

Co-starred with Huang Lei in the family ethics drama "Orange is Red", in which she played Xiuhe, the third wife of Rong Yaohua;
She co-starred with Zhang Xinzhe in the romantic film "Yanyu Hongyan", in which she played the role of the rich girl Zhao Ningjing. She won the Best Actress Award at the 25th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for this film.
She starred in the romantic film "When Flowers Bloom" with Xia Yu and Pu Shu, playing the role of freshman Huanzi. She also won the Most Popular Actress Award at the 10th Yanjing College Student Film Festival for this film.
Liu Ye and Chen Kun also co-starred in the love movie "Balzac and the Little Tailor", in which he played the role of "Little Tailor".

She is now at the peak of her acting career, and the company has found a lot of film and television resources, and is even in talks for the entire next year.

As a result, the single "That Day" given to her by Shen Lang has not been recorded, filmed, or released yet.

Chen Yaochuan simply collected songs for her and put them together into an album to be released next year.

"Sister Xun, did you receive the album I mailed to you?"

"I have received it. You still have some conscience. Remember to give me the new album."

Zhou Xun had a crush on Shen Lang, but he didn't even have time for that. They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, but fortunately their relationship hadn't become alienated. He teased him again, "I saw on the news that your rumored girlfriends are number five or six?"

Shen Lang's eyelids twitched, and he said hurriedly: "They just wrote it randomly, there are not so many, there are only four."

Zhou Xun was amused by him and asked, "Is there anything real in there?"

"Uh..." Shen Lang scratched his hair and looked at Gao Yuanyuan.

Zhou Xun opened his mouth in surprise.

Was he taken down like this?

Still a good friend of mine.

Oops, I miscalculated!
I should have taken action earlier!
"Ah..." Zhou Xun sighed. His mood was not as good as before he came to visit the set. To cover up his unreasonable disappointment, he found a topic and said, "It's a pity that the company has accepted a play for me, The Legend of the Condor Heroes directed by Zhang Jizhong. I recommended you to the crew, but guess what they said?"

This drama?
In the original time and space, whether it is Zhou Xun's Huang Rong or Li Yapeng's Guo Jing, although they have been affirmed by the author Jin Yong, most of the audience still think that Huang Rong is quirky, but when she opens her mouth, her unique voice will make people feel distracted, and her image and temperament are slightly deviated; Guo Jing's characterization is too silly, but not heroic enough, and his voice is also not good, with a hint of stupidity in his roughness.

In terms of rating, it only got 7.3 points, which is the lowest among many versions.

Shen Lang had seen this in his previous life. How should I put it? No comparison means no harm. He immediately shook his head and said, "I can't guess."

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "They said you are too handsome, which doesn't match Guo Jing's simple and honest image, so they won't consider you."

Shen Lang exclaimed, "Ah!" Is this possible?
But this play can be performed or not.

Acting is all about making money, so what? Everyone has a few bad movies in their acting career.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t act, there are plenty of good dramas.

Zhou Xun's plan to work with Shen Lang was shelved again, and he said, "But it's okay, there are still a few dramas to be made."

Shen Lang said sincerely: "Sister Xun, thank you."

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite to me. You will definitely have no shortage of acting offers in the future. For now, you just need to show your face more so that more audiences can get to know you, and more directors, producers and investors can know you."

In fact, this is exactly what Shen Lang is doing.

I am not considering winning the award for now.

The main focus is on making money and using your reputation.

After lunch, Zhou Xun left. She was filming a movie in Zhangjiajie. Today she took a break from her busy schedule and came to Yanjing to sign an endorsement contract. She also came to visit the set and would take a flight back to the crew in the afternoon.

Not long after she left, Fang Wanhua arrived.

"Xiao Shen, it's done!" She couldn't hide the smile on her face. "How many?" Shen Lang asked.

"Fifty-three percent, The Story of a Noble Family, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, and Blind Well." Fang Wanhua replied.

"Not bad." Shen Lang said with a smile.

He asked Fang Wanhua to discuss the scripts, and remember those in the Central Plains time and space that would be popular or make money.

Then the two companies collaborated.

Qian Guosheng and Fang Wanhua's Shenghua Film and Television only invests, while his Julang Film and Television is more comprehensive, involving investment, production and exhibition.

This is a great way to collaborate.

He can't monopolize a play.

It’s hard to survive in this circle if you don’t bring others to play with you. You will have to give away some of the cake more or less.

This can also share the risk.

After all, his intervention will lead to changes in the leading actors, scripts, and broadcast times, and it may not be possible to replicate the success of the original time and space.

Even if you make a little less profit, you can't lose a lot.

Fang Wanhua didn't know where Shen Lang got the information about these TV series, and she didn't care. What she cared about was whether he could make money, so she asked, "Are you playing the leading male role in all three of them?"

When she judges whether a TV series or not can make money, she first looks at the script, and she thinks all three are good; second, the leading actor, and in her eyes, Shen Lang has appeal.

Shen Lang had already made a plan, and said, "Let's act in two TV series, and not touch movies for now."

The key is that "Blind Well" is not suitable for him, so there is no need to force it into it.

Fang Wanhua nodded and said, "In that case, how about this? We can start filming The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber as soon as possible, and then film The Story of a Noble Family right after that. As for Blind Well, we should start filming in the early spring of next year."

Shen Lang calculated the time and nodded: "Okay, no problem."

Fang Wanhua added: "You decide on the director and actors."

Shen Lang replied, "I'll make a list as soon as possible."

He bought a villa outside the Fourth Ring Road as Julang’s office.

We have recruited a lot of people and the company has begun to take shape.

That is to say, it is more formal.

As for the directors and actors of these three plays, Shen Lang will try his best to maintain the original lineup of time and space.

There's no need to change too much.

Ning Hao was not included in the directing role as he had other plans and was preparing for "Crazy Stone".

He wrote the script as early as 2000.

The name is quite vulgar, called "Big Diamond", and the idea is also quite vulgar, it is a story about a soldier catching a thief, which is quite different from "Crazy Stone".

Shen Lang gave some ideas and asked Ning Hao to make the changes, and then start shooting after the changes were completed.

At that time, she was so happy for him that she danced with joy. Later, during the filming of "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old", she was very serious in order to repay Shen Lang's kindness.

Before graduating from Beijing Film Academy, I had already filmed a TV series and had a movie in the works.

This is what many directors dream of.
