Chapter 382 The Duck in Hand
Although an unexpected incident occurred, Xu Kun still told about his communication with Liu Haibo.
When Jiang Yiyan heard that her heroine had left, she pouted and squeezed into Xu Kun's arms for comfort.
Yang Mi became more and more indecisive.
If the choice was between the heroine of an ordinary TV series and the second female lead in "So Young", Ruan Ruan, she would most likely choose the latter.
But this is the New Red Building!
After hesitating for a while, she called Li Shaohong back and said cautiously, "Director Li, there is something going on..."
After telling her about "So Young", she asked carefully, "When will our new Red Mansion start filming? If I accept the film..."
As a result, he was scolded by Li Shaohong just when he was halfway through his speech: "How many times have I told you that what you should do most now is to hone yourself - how did they train the 87 version? How can you produce a good show with your half-hearted attitude?!"
Yang Mi was speechless after being scolded.
Then Li Shaohong asked: "Who is the director of the movie? Who are the male and female protagonists?"
When she heard that it was Liu Haibo who had filmed "The Princess Weiyoung" and that the male and female protagonists were from the Super Boy and Super Girl competitions, Li Shaohong became even more disdainful: "Being a supporting actor for an outsider, what on earth are you thinking? Have you ever made a serious plan for your future?!
What's the point of acting in such a rubbish movie? If you prepare well and make a good new version of Red Mansion, it will be better than acting in a hundred rubbish movies!"
After hearing what Li Shaohong said, especially the part about being a supporting role for an outsider, Yang Mi's already wavering mind became even more shaky.
But she finally asked, "Director Li, what role are you going to let me play?"
“Of course, he plays an important role throughout!”
Li Shaohong said without hesitation: "I am not too satisfied with those who came out of the talent show - in fact, I am not very satisfied with you either, but you are an artist of our company after all, so I want to give you a chance. You must seize this opportunity and don't embarrass the company!"
After listening to Li Shaohong's statement, Yang Mi instinctively thought that she was either Baochai or Daiyu. Otherwise, how could it be considered an opportunity given by the company, and how could it be considered a consistent performance throughout the whole process?
So she said excitedly: "I know! Director Li, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"
"Then prepare well and stop being indecisive!"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi looked at Xu Kun and Jiang Yiyan somewhat awkwardly.
Xu Kun also lowered his head to look at Jiang Yiyan in his arms: "Now the second female role is available, you..."
"No, I don't want it either!"
Although Ruan Ruan's role had quite a few parts, Jiang Yiyan still felt that it was a bit tasteless. She had just heard the phrase "serving as a supporting role for an amateur".
Our famous star Jiang is now a quasi-first-tier star, and can even compete with Liu Yifei. How could he be willing to flatter a few talent show singers?
What’s the difference between that and being a supporting role for Zhao Liying?
"Then let's contact Shishi."
Xu Kun finally made the decision and said, "If Shi Shi plays opposite others, I'd still worry that her level is not good enough, but with a few outsiders... maybe she will become the biggest highlight of this drama."
At this time, Jiang Yiyan's eyes turned and she said, "Why don't I get a producer title? It would be a good opportunity to keep Gan Wei and Hao Lei company."
"It's up to you. When the time comes, you can invest some money and then hire a producer."
As Xu Kun spoke, he contacted Cai Yinong first to confirm Liu Shishi's schedule.
When Cai Yinong heard that it was a movie and that Liu Shishi had found the script herself, she immediately became excited - if this movie becomes popular, Liu Shishi would be labeled as a woman with a discerning eye and could even be considered a talented woman.
So she immediately said that schedule was not a problem, and she would definitely let Liu Shishi finish the filming of "Strange Women of Liao Zhai" as soon as possible and devote herself to the preparation of the film.
Xu Kun contacted Liu Haibo again. When he heard that the unknown Yang Mi was to be replaced by Liu Shishi, the little Liu Yifei, Liu Haibo naturally welcomed it with open arms.
As for Jiang Yiyan's investment to become a producer, that was even easier - the two producers and the assistant director could then play guest roles. After everything was communicated, Yang Mi quickly found a reason to leave - Brother Kun helped stabilize the second female lead, but she changed her mind halfway because of the New Red Mansion, and it would be a bit awkward to stay any longer.
She also wanted to leave a good impression on Li Shaohong, so she thought about returning to school as soon as possible to work hard on her acting skills, lest she lose the opportunity.
…………
Hengdian.
Liu Shishi, who had just joined the team, was a little confused for a moment after receiving the notice from Cai Yinong.
Although she is not good at intrigue, after such a long time, she has guessed some of Yang Mi's thoughts, so she has been depressed recently.
It wasn’t because his favorite script was snatched away, but because he was sad about Yang Mi’s behavior.
If Yang Mi also likes Ruan Ruan, then she should just say it directly. It's not like I can't give it to her, but...
But she never expected that more than a month later, the role of Ruan Ruan inexplicably returned to her - this made Liu Shishi have a sense of fate, as if she was destined to be bound to the role of Ruan Ruan.
At this time, Zhao Liying, who was so hot that she had a rash all over her body, rushed into the dressing room, quickly took off her costume, and put her A wrapped in a tank top to the air conditioner vent, saying comfortably: "Oh, I'm finally alive now!"
Zhao Liying plays a frail young lady, so there are many bed scenes where she needs to be wrapped in a quilt. It happens to be the end of June, so the torture is naturally extraordinary.
If he were a famous actor, the crew would give him special care, but Xiao Zhao can only rely on his endurance.
After saying that, after a while, when she didn't hear Liu Shishi's response, Zhao Liying turned around and asked in confusion, "Shishi, are you okay?"
The two of them did not act in the same unit, but because of Jiang Yiyan's entrustment, Liu Shishi always took good care of Tang Yan and Zhao Liying. The three of them had similar personalities, so they quickly became friends.
Liu Shishi broke free from her fatalism and shook her head slightly at Zhao Liying, who was full of concern, and said, "Nothing, I just got a role that I had already given up, so I feel a little emotional."
"What role?"
Xiao Zhao said with envy: "You big stars are the best. Film offers keep coming to you one after another."
"It's a novel I like, and it's going to be adapted into a movie."
Liu Shishi briefly explained the whole story, of course omitting what Yang Mi did in order to keep the script for himself.
After hearing this, Zhao Liying became more envious. To be able to choose the script herself and to be the female lead herself, isn’t this too happy?
And it’s a movie…
Xiao Zhao, who had just entered the industry, naturally had a longing for the big screen, but with her experience as a supporting actress, she also knew her own limitations.
I am not a talented player like Director Xu. How can an ordinary person who comes from a talent show compete with those who graduate from professional schools?
Even compared with semi-professional contestants like Liu Shishi who graduated from the dance department, she can only admit defeat for the time being.
Now, thanks to Jiang Yiyan's relationship, I can play the second female role in a unit drama, which is already a very lucky thing.
Zhao Liying warned herself not to aim too high, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You play the second female lead, so who are the male and female leads?"
Liu Shishi said: "In order to attract enough people to watch the movie, the female lead will be Li Yuchun, and the male lead should be selected from this year's Super Boy."
Zhao Liying: “…”
