Magic Modified Huayu

The heroine was of course Guan Xiaotong, who was chosen by Director Wei.

My daughter is so well-behaved. As a teacher, how can I not give her some reward?

Even if it costs a fortune to buy horse bones, Director Wei will not be stingy.

What's more, Guan Xiaotong's age and image are suitable.

Originally, the investment scale of a youth film like "Better Days" was not even at the level that Director Wei would pay attention to.

The entire cost budget for this drama is less than 100 million yuan.

To be precise, 50 million... and then it was advertised to the outside world as 100 million.

In fact, if the copyright is sold, the cost will definitely be recovered as long as the box office of "Better Days" can exceed 100 million.

Why do some directors always like to make youth films? Because the investment is small and the risk is low.

High rate of return.

Normally, a movie with such a small investment has nothing to do with Director Wei.

However, the heroine of this play is Guan Xiaotong, and it is Guan Xiaotong's first time to lead a movie. She has a lot of pressure and motivation, so whenever she has the chance, she will come to the teacher to "learn more".

I have to say that "seeking advice" is really useful.

And the good daughter is indeed very good.

After coming a few more times, Director Wei had to pay some attention to this small-scale youth film.

Can't just take advantage, right?

Director Wei is not a scumbag.

So... Director Wei took the opportunity to intervene in the management of the "Better Days" project.

The crew, from top to bottom, expressed their warm welcome.

Because if this drama is to be promoted later, Director Wei will definitely be responsible for the promotion.

Director Wei has chosen the female lead.

Director Wei has also chosen the male lead.

Yi Yang Qianxi from Tfboys.

This will be the first movie starring actor.

When this big pie fell on his head, Yi Yang Qianxi was also confused.

Because in 2017, he had just graduated from high school and had not yet gone to college.

Moreover, his reputation is average, and not many people think he can act well.

Even among the three brothers, he is not very popular now.

Fate is always wonderful.

It is hard to imagine that Yi Yang Qianxi, who was the least popular among the three brothers at the beginning, would eventually surpass them and his popularity with the audience is getting better and better.

Even Yi Yang Qianxi will gradually grow into a high-quality actor in the future.

Among young actors of the same age, he can be known for his acting skills, and he has also produced some outstanding works that have broken the traffic label on him.

If Director Wei hadn't read history, he wouldn't have believed it.

In terms of acting, Yi Yang Qianxi is indeed talented, at least much more talented than Yang Yang and other four popular stars.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to achieve a comprehensive counterattack in the film and television industry despite being a generation behind them.

The other two brothers did not do so.

This is obviously not due to popularity.

It's just pure talent, hard work and luck.

And these things cannot be seen now.

In 2017, Yi Yang Qianxi faced the role of the male lead in "Better Days", and when he heard that it was director Wei who chose him, he felt nervous at first.

"Director Wei, I'll just play a supporting role."

Guan Xiaotong asked Director Wei for help, and Director Wei happened to be free one day, so he personally made an appointment with Yi Yang Qianxi - Director Wei would not admit that Guan Xiaotong asked him for help when she was "seeking advice" and then he called to make the appointment.

Director Wei just cares about the young actors. What bad intentions could Director Wei have?

Then, Yi Yang Qianxi quickly came to meet Director Wei and expressed seriously that he could play a supporting role.

This is not because Yi Yang Qianxi is underestimating himself, but because he is too young now and has mostly played supporting roles in previous films.

It’s useless to be popular if you are not old enough.

The script will not set a junior high school or high school student as the protagonist, this has nothing to do with popularity.

So Yi Yang Qianxi really doesn’t mind playing supporting roles.

How great is it to brush up on your qualifications and popularity without having to take responsibility for the protagonist's failure?

Playing the leading role...

For someone who just got admitted to the Central Academy of Drama this year, this is too advanced.

If it fails, it will be a very bad start.

For many people, the first time is important.

Director Wei smiled and consoled her, "Don't worry. Even if 'Better Days' fails, the audience will only blame Xiaotong for not doing well. Not many people will blame you."

Guan Xiaotong: ...Yi Yangqianxi said frankly: "Director Wei, it seems that Sister Xiaotong's popularity is not as high as mine."

Guan Xiaotong felt heartbroken again.

Female traffic really can't compare with male traffic in popularity.

Director Wei chose Yi Yang Qianxi as the male lead mainly because of his popularity.

After all, his acting skills now are definitely not as good as they will be in a few years.

But not important.

Anyway, it’s Lu Renjia’s job to train acting skills, so what does Director Guan Wei have to do with it?

"Qianxi, have more confidence in yourself.

Xiaotong ranked first in both the academic and professional courses at the Beijing Film Academy last year, and you ranked first in both the academic and professional courses at the Central Academy of Drama this year.

The two of you, the top students, have joined forces, the strongest freshmen from Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama have collaborated. If this gets out, it will be a great story, and the production crew can also use it to promote themselves."

Guan Xiaotong and Yi Yang Qianxi looked at each other and noticed the guilt in each other's eyes.

And each of them is more guilty than the other.

After all, there is a fundamental difference between the top student in the performing arts academy and the top student in the city or province.

It is difficult for them to have confidence before they are recognized.

"Director Wei, I can actually play a supporting role."

Yi Yang Qianxi said: "Ranking is not important. I always think what you said in the previous interview is very right. People should know themselves and don't force ranking. I am willing to start from a supporting role."

Director Wei was amused.

He had seen people vying for the leading role, but this was the first time he had seen someone vying for the supporting role in person.

But he understands.

For popular stars, the first movie in which they will play the leading role is a very important choice.

After all, Yi Yang Qianxi is not a complete newcomer. He has a base of traffic, and sooner or later he will have the opportunity. It is better for him to start by playing a supporting role to build up his qualifications and popularity.

To put it bluntly, Guan Xiaotong did the same thing before.

If you do it in one go, and your virtue doesn't match your position, it won't be so easy to play the leading role next time.

The entertainment industry doesn't believe in tears.

Otherwise, his two brothers would not have missed the opportunity to play the leading role in a movie in their previous life.

It’s just… “The organization has decided that the protagonist of ‘Better Days’ is you.

Qianxi, come on."

Jackson Yee: …

The mood is very complicated.

I am very excited to be valued by Director Wei.

I wasn't sure if I could perform well, and I was very nervous.

It feels like gambling.

It's both exciting and unpleasant.

"Director Wei, will you be with the crew when filming this movie?" Yi Yang Qianxi asked.

If Director Wei was with the crew, he wouldn't have to worry.

With Director Wei around, it's hard to fail.

However... Director Wei said seriously, "I have complete confidence in you."

Anyway, you played the role in the original version of "Better Days" and you did a pretty good job.

Although that was you a few years later.

unimportant.

Even if the film is bad, it will not affect the director.

The director just wants to help the younger generation.

If you don't do your best, that's your problem.

Anyway, the director's reputation for supporting young talents will definitely spread.

Jackson Yee: ...He doesn’t even trust himself.

But Director Wei couldn't refuse the kindness.

He could only agree.

Then, quickly ask for an acting teacher, memorize the script, figure out the role, and experience life.

Alexander.

Also full of energy.

Guan Xiaotong is still very happy that Yi Yang Qianxi is the male lead. After all, the popularity of the three little ones is indeed unique among young stars.

She was just curious about something else: "Dad, why don't you look for it from the other two of the three little ones? Yi Yang Qianxi's popularity is not as high as the other two."

Director Wei: "But he is the top student in his major at the Central Academy of Drama this year. The other two... their acting skills are really not good. Yi Yang Qianxi at least has potential."

Guan Xiaotong: "I don't think he has much confidence."

Director Wei smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Young people understand the immensity of the world and know how to be respectful.

If you meet a mentor who can give you guidance, your future will be bright."

"Dad, do you think he's good?"

"Yes, among the actors born after 00, Yi Yangqianxi will be the best in the future."

At least in the next five years.

Guan Xiaotong was a little jealous: "Dad, are you going to be his mentor?"

Director Wei: "You're overthinking it. I don't even bother to be a mentor to young male stars. If I were to be a mentor, I'd only be mentoring female stars.

Guan Xiaotong: "...Can you not be so realistic?" But she accepted Director Wei's words.

"Dad, the heroine and hero have been decided, who's the second female lead?"

This is also very important.

Because the second female lead is actually the villain in the drama "Better Days".

At this time, Director Wei's cell phone rang.
