Entertainment upstart

Chapter 492 Avoid suspicion, talk about it during the day

After three days of research on the plot of the upper part of the film, there is no correction, and the tasks of the screenwriters have come to an end for the time being.

What was left was Zhou Xia, the casting director, and several assistant directors discussing the candidates for actors, and preparing for the assessment of the actors who participated in costume and play auditions.

In the office, Zhou Xia turned off the computer and was about to leave work when Yang Tianzhen knocked on the door and walked in.

"Boss, after reading the script, Liu Yufei expressed her willingness to participate in this movie, but she doesn't want to audition."

"Don't want to audition? Do you have any other requirements?" Zhou Xia pondered.

Immortal sister Liu Yufei played the important supporting role of Suyu, which can be regarded as a self-deprecation, obviously to impress him, and hope to participate in his movies in the future.

This request is not excessive.

But Zhou Xia was still a little uneasy about her acting skills.

"No, her agent said that if you are really worried, you can meet in private, talk about the role, or even audition. If you are not satisfied at that time, just ignore it."

Yang Tianzhen said with a strange expression.

"That's okay, that's fine, you can arrange it." Zhou Xia laughed.

The last time "Painted Skin 2" was casting, Liu Yufei, Fan Meiniang, Huang Shengyi, Da Meiyuan and others all came to audition, and the battle was very big. In the end, they all lost the casting, and Xia Hua's Yaya and Tangtang played the roles the movie.

The few of them all became the background of the news, and they were sometimes teased. Of course, Liu Yufei didn't want to go through this kind of thing again, but she didn't want to give up this opportunity.

After all, Immortal Sword One is her masterpiece. It would be a pity if she didn't participate in this huge 3D fairy-tale production with an investment of five or six billion.
"Okay, I got it, I'll communicate right away." Yang Tianzhen agreed.

"Wait, what's the situation with the sugar man?" Zhou Xia hurriedly called her to stop, two days had passed.

"The sugar people are still negotiating. At present, it seems that they don't want to sell the rights to adapt the first few films of Xianjian."

"Really, after a few more years, after the authorization period, they won't be able to sell it if they want to. Daewoo didn't want them to make a movie in the first place, because they were afraid that they would spoil the IP. Is this still under consideration?" Zhou Xia didn't quite agree. understand.

"I also mentioned this matter to them, but it seems that Tang Ren doesn't have all the film and television adaptation rights, and Daewoo still needs to agree, so it is more difficult to communicate, but they said that as long as you are willing to use Lao Hu, you can transfer the two rights to us." Dee's contract."

"Okay, let's finalize this matter first. As for the copyright issues of the first few parts of Xianjian, let's discuss it slowly." Zhou Xia also knew the troubles involved, and nodded in agreement.

After Yang Tianzhen left, Zhou Xia left the company and just got into the car in the garage to meet Xiaoshuang when Yang Tianzhen called.

"Boss, I have communicated with Liu Yufei. She is in the imperial capital. She said that the time is up to you. Should I arrange for you to meet at night?"

"Tonight, is this appropriate? Let's make an appointment at the coffee shop next to the company tomorrow." Zhou Xia said quickly to avoid suspicion.

Yang Tianzhen was obviously trying to figure out his thoughts, and was completely creating opportunities for him to get close to beautiful women, but if this was exposed by the media, there would be scandals before the filming started.

When the director meets the actors at night, even if it is in public, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

"Okay, boss, then I have an appointment until tomorrow morning?"

"Well, at 09:30 in the morning, the coffee shop next to the company where I often visit." Zhou Xia reminded again, lest Yang Tianzhen make appointments with some private clubs and so on.

Zhou Xia dressed up in disguise, drove an ordinary bullet official car of the company, and soon arrived at the house that Xiaoshuang bought in the imperial capital, next to the Zhongying Community.

He and Xiaoshuang haven't seen each other for nearly three months, and the last time was when the movie "Detective Chinatown" premiered.

Speaking of which, since the last time Xiaoshuang was arranged to film "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" in Xiahua, there was no other TV or movie arrangement for her.

Seeing Xiaoshuang's photo a few days ago, he felt more and more that she is very suitable for a supporting role in "Legend of Sword and Sword 4", that is, the lovely girl Xuanji from Kunlun Qionghua School.

But this role is not too much, she may not be willing to participate, and Zhou Xiayou feels that Xiaoshuang is not suitable for Liu Mengli's role.

After Han Lingsha chose Xiao Ai to play the role, for the role of Liu Mengli, Zhou Xia actually preferred to find an actress who was comparable to Xiao Ai.

For example, student Zhao Xiaoying.

Her round face and big eyes allow people to distinguish the two heroines at once. There is a strong contrast in the image, so that the characters are more differentiated and the characters will appear more vivid.

This is also the reason why he considered Tangtang to play Liu Mengli in the first place. Tangtang's face is also round.

If the two heroines of the movie have awl faces and slap faces, it will greatly reduce the differences between the characters.

"Why so slow? Is there a traffic jam?" Xiaoshuang looked at Zhou Xia who entered the door, and asked suspiciously.

周夏05:30离开公司，06:30才到，本来三10分钟前就该到的。

"Yes, there are traffic jams every now and then. I really can't drive easily at this time." Zhou Xia sighed helplessly after changing her shoes, stepped forward to hug Xiaoshuang, and kissed her on the face.

"Let you get off work early, you are a busy person who said well, but you still can't get away?" Xiaoshuang asked with a smile.

"Yes, there is no way. The script and casting of the film are being prepared. It is currently scheduled to start on April 4, but there is only half a month left." Zhou Xia and Xiaoshuang entered the living room while talking, and picked from the fruit plate on the coffee table. Here, he picked up an apple and took a bite.

"Isn't that still far away? Also, I saw your agent's reply to our company, and I'm still considering it." Xiaoshuang said bluntly, she was reluctant to let her play a supporting role.

"Hehe, do you really not consider playing a supporting role? In the future, our company will shoot a lot of movies with this theme. Maybe if you play a supporting role this time, you will play the leading role in the future." Zhou Xia asked with a smile.

Xiaoshuang's popularity has always been very high, which also makes her very confident in herself.

"Are you threatening me, hum!" Xiao Shuang wrinkled Xiao Wang's nose and snorted dissatisfiedly.

"No, I just kindly remind you that you haven't played the leading role in a movie before, so if you don't take your time, how will you have the chance to play the leading role in the future." Zhou Xia said playfully.

"Really, I heard that Xiao Ai will play the leading role in your movie. Why should she, don't tell me that she is more suitable, haha." Xiaoshuang looked at Zhou Xia with some dissatisfaction.

In her opinion, Xiao Ai can act, so she has no problem.

"How do you know about this?" Zhou Xia looked at the tempered Xiaoshuang in surprise.

Only the top executives in the company and a few film creators knew about this news, and he strictly prohibited it from spreading outside, but it still got out.

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Do you think that all of you Xia Hua will listen to you and be loyal to you? Hehe."

"I didn't think so. Someone from your company must have inquired, right?" Zhou Xia could think of one or two.

Whether it is Mango TV or Tianyu, which is affiliated with Mango TV, there have always been many cooperations with Xia Hua. Mango TV also invested in Xia Hua Film and Television during its second stock offering.

It's really not too difficult for Xiaoshuang's manager to find out the news.
