Chapter 390: "Embroidered Spring Blade", Fighting Against Women, Fighting for the Bride
"What is this, a script?"
Wei Yang came out of the shower and found that Liu Shishi was not waiting for him on the bed. Instead, he was sitting on the sofa reading the script. He went over and took a look curiously.
""Xiu Chun Dao"? The story of Jin Yiwei."
Liu Shishi was stunned: "Have you read this script?"
"The Xiuchundao is Jin Yiwei's exclusive weapon. With this name, it must be telling the story of Jin Yiwei. Didn't you film "The Strange Man Yizhimei" before? I don't remember."
The male protagonist of this drama, Li Gexiao, is a former Jinyiwei colleague. Even if it is just a background, he still uses some information. The basic settings such as Xiuchundao and Feiyu suit should be there.
"I kind of forgot about it, and our drama, Jin Yiwei, didn't have much plot, it was mainly about Jianghu detectives."
Liu Shishi was a little confused. This drama had been filmed for several years, and she was not very interested in this aspect, so of course she couldn't remember it.
Wei Yang didn't say anything, he was just curious that Liu Shishi was cast in the movie "Xiu Chun Dao".
Liu Shishi's status as a celebrity now is completely different from that in his previous life!
At that time, Liu Shishi was eager to break into the film market. In addition, film resources were limited, and similar projects were enough. Therefore, films like "Xiu Chun Dao" with little capital and little room for development could hire her.
But now Liu Shishi can, to some extent, keep pace with Liu Tianxian, and is equally popular.
She has not made movies. On the one hand, she is following Wei Yang's plan to break into CCTV and get a piece of the heroine's pie. On the other hand, she is waiting for a price.
The more popular Liu Shishi becomes and the more difficult it is to recruit film crews, the more valuable her name becomes.
Therefore, her resources are not low. On the contrary, at this stage, many first-line major productions, or movies starring the first female protagonist, have given Liu Shishi an olive branch.
It's just that the team and Wei Yang were not very satisfied with the script, and he personally was not enthusiastic about developing in the film market.
Therefore, 85 Flowers rushed into the film industry, and even Xiao Zhao took a role in "My Deskmate". On the contrary, Liu Shishi, the leader, was the calmest.
If it weren't for the fact that "The Legend of Mufu" starring him is scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV and is likely to become the new year's drama next year, it is estimated that the little lions will curse Tang and Wei Yang.
Fans don't care whether the main character is a Buddhist or not. The team boss and Wei Yang, the financial backer, are taking the blame for Liu Shishi's poor development.
Wei Yang is also used to it, he can just scold him, even the goddess has been put to sleep by him, he can't curse a few words without losing any weight...
However, according to this logic, Liu Shishi cannot get a project and character role of the level of "Xiu Chun Dao" at all.
"A senior executive in our company probably has a relationship with the other party and helped deliver the message. The agent read the book and thought the story was good, so he showed it to me."
Liu Shishi explained that this situation is easy to understand. Using the back door + high quality can still make people open-minded.
"What do you think?"
"There are too few scenes."
Liu Shishi read the script and was a little dissatisfied. On the one hand, there were few scenes. Although the character's background was tragic, his personality was not very likable. It was even purely to set off the male protagonist Shen Lian's infatuation (licking), love (dog) and promotion. In some plots, it's a bit inappropriate to say tool man, but it does have that tendency.
"Then don't answer it. I've heard of your story too. It's a typical man's play."
If "Xiu Chun Knife" can deliver a script to the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely not let go of Blue Whale, but it is not looking for actors, but to attract investment.
However, the cost of this project itself is limited, and it has already attracted some investment. The share given to Blue Whale is not large, so Blue Whale is not interested in it.
Boss Wei only found out after glancing at the report. It was a pity, but he couldn't say he cared too much.
To put it bluntly, "Xiuchundao" has a good reputation, but it does not make money. If it is to praise people, the company does not have many suitable artists.
Zhang Zhen was appointed by the director and cannot be replaced by Wang Qianyuan. The other characters are just like that. If they can succeed, there is no need to go to war if they fail.
The only thing Wei Yang was interested in was Ding Xiu, a layman with extra money, but with his status as a celebrity, it was impossible for him to pursue this supporting role, and he was not good at acting, so he simply gave up.
But thinking of this, Wei Yang suddenly realized something.
Zhou Miaotong, the heroine of the first part of "Xiu Chun Knife", really has no memorable points. Liu Shi Shiguang was accused of being cast as a blind man, so she earned the nickname "Blind Sister".
In the second part, Hokusai let Damimi contribute to the performance of the crew and made people laugh at his hairline for a long time.
On the contrary, the second female lead, played by Xin Zhilei, was well received. She was cold, chic and heroic. She once claimed to "crush all the martial arts dreams of female stars with one knife" and was hailed as one of the most exciting performances of the older generation of female stars.
And what Liu Shishi is best at is fighting scenes!
Even though his acting skills have improved a bit in this life, Liu Shishi is still at the mid-range level. Only when he occasionally performs beyond his level can he compete with those powerful actors.
But fighting dramas are different. She was a professional dancer and participated in many fighting dramas in her early years, which accumulated countless experience for her. Liu Shishi is very suitable for taking the route of beating girls.
However, this route is more difficult, and Wei Yang is not particularly supportive. However, if Liu Shishi is determined, he can try to make a breakthrough in movies.
In the current movie market, there is still a market for female actors. The older generation, Yang Ziqiong and others, have half-retired. The Mesozoic generation's most capable actors are international actors. However, the latter stars are unwilling to be killed by female actors and are determined to become movie queens.
Some other new generation actors who have participated in action dramas are not famous enough. If Liu Shishi joins the game, there is a chance that she can open up the situation.
However, Wei Yang did not say much. It was just an idea. Well, Liu Shishi's strategy of playing the heroine in TV dramas has not been finalized yet, so there is no need to think so far.
"By the way, if you want to read the script, I recommend you a novel. I may ask you to play a role later."
Liu Shishi smiled: "Is it the "Nirvana in Fire"?"
"How come... it's also true. It must have spread outside."
Wei Yang was not surprised that Liu Shishi could guess it. "Nirvana in Fire" had already been approved for preparation, and with the original novel, many people in the circle had guessed that this drama might be the next TV drama of Boss Wei.
Many people have already started to seek roles, so it is reasonable for Liu Shishi to hear the letter.
The role that Wei Yang gave her was naturally the heroine Princess Nihuang, or even a female hero who was in charge of the military and political affairs of a place. The original Liu Tao's performance was actually not bad, but now it must be replaced by his own people.
Liu Shishi is the most promising candidate for the crew, but if she doesn't have time, someone else can be replaced.
"Got it, give me the script later."
Liu Shishi almost didn't consider it. "Nirvana in Fire" doesn't have many scenes, but she can stay with Wei Yang for a long time, which is an irresistible benefit for Liu Shishi.
Moreover, even if there are not many scenes, with Wei Yang's reputation, the prospects of "Nirvana in Fire" will be extremely impressive, even better than those big female lead dramas.
"Celebrating Yu Nian" is the best example. Lin Wan'er's role suppresses other 85 flowers.
In the past two years, the only one who can challenge Liu Shishi in the field of television is Sun Niangniang in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
"Okay, I'll arrange it later."
As for Wei Yang personally, he actually likes to film with his woman. It's interesting both inside and outside the play, and he won't be lonely.
"Stop reading, go to sleep."
Wei Yang had just finished taking a shower and was full of energy. He couldn't stand Liu Shishi reading the script all the time, so he snatched the book, threw it away, and walked to the bedroom with her in his arms. Liu Shishi fluttered in his arms.
"I haven't washed yet."
"I'll give you a serum treatment before washing."
…
The next day, Wei Yang had to get up early to go to the company for a meeting, and go back to his parents' home at night. On the third day, he had to deal with Da Mimi who came to Shanghai specially. After being busy for most of the week, he finally sorted out the matter of going abroad for a few months.
As a result, before he could relax and rest, Li Jiahang came to his house and asked him to come to the filming site of "Ex-Files".
"Boss Wei."
Tian Yusheng, the director of "Ex-Files", came to say hello, and Wei Yang smiled.
"Okay, you, let's work together to plot against me, right?"
"Of course."
Tian Yusheng smiled innocently. He had worked with Wei Yang in "Super Time Cohabitation" before. He was considered a talent dug out by Boss Wei. They were familiar with each other and dared to joke.
"Isn't this my first time directing independently? Brother Hang is also making a movie for the first time. We feel at ease to ask you to help us."
This guy was born in 1983, older than Wei Yang and Li Jiahang, but he was very humble.
He knew the relationship between Li Jiahang and Wei Yang, and usually called him Brother Hang. Of course, Li Jiahang also called him Director Tian or Brother Sheng, and they talked about their own things.
Even Li Jiahang could become the male lead of "Ex-Files", which was more or less related to Wei Yang.
He flattered Li Jiahang like this, let alone Wei Yang.
With Wei Yang's status, age and qualifications cannot be calculated at all, so this guy put himself in the position of a subordinate and junior, and usually regarded himself as Wei Yang's half disciple in private. Although it seems a bit shameless, it has many benefits.
The title of Boss Wei is very useful, not to mention that he is in the base camp of Shanghai, and he sells some face wherever he goes.
For example, the hotel where the filming took place today is a large banquet hall that Tian Yusheng managed to get by leveraging the power of Boss Wei, and all expenses are waived.
Ordinary crews don’t have this treatment, and not all film and television dramas can get sponsorship from big hotels.
From the above details, we can also see that Tian Yusheng is good at hitting the snake with the stick, very smart, and knows how to leverage the power.
This guy has a resume in "Super Time and Space Cohabitation", and he is also a semi-famous screenwriter. He immediately started to work on his own project, and after the script got the nod from Boss Wei, he successfully established the project.
After that, he specially found Li Jiahang as the male lead and Li Sheng as the female lead.
The successful combination of the two also made Li Jiahang, who entered the film market with his wife, owe him a favor, and because of the film’s interest binding, he also helped a lot.
Although Li Jiahang is not very conspicuous, as Boss Wei’s best brother, his status in the circle is not low, and the connections and resources he has made are very terrifying.
It's just that he knows that most of these people come for Wei Yang, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to his good brother, so he doesn't want to use him casually.
But if he helps seriously, even if it's just to make connections or make a few phone calls, it will be enough to make Tian Yusheng, a new director, happy.
If he comes alone, even if he hits his head and drinks until his stomach bleeds, others may not pay attention to him.
What a registered disciple, who cares if Boss Wei doesn't nod? The one who is really useful is Li Jiahang. He claims to be Wei Yang's disciple. Li Jiahang, Boss Wei's good brother, doesn't deny it. No matter whether others believe it or not, they have to give him some face.
This time, Tian Yusheng also spent a long time with Li Jiahang and persuaded him, so that Li Jiahang went to Wei Yang to make a scene, and finally invited Boss Wei to inspect and guest star.
To be honest, even Boss Wei knows something. They are all a little jealous of Tian Yusheng's luck.
When he debuted back then, if he could have been with such a "big guy" who was easy to talk to and capable of doing things, he wouldn't have needed to hire Fan Xiaopang to join him.
"Mr. Wei, the script goes like this. You are the groom and you are getting married to the bride today. You have invited five ex-girlfriends and five ex-boyfriends..."
Tian Yusheng explained the plot to Wei Yang. It was probably that the King of the Sea and the Queen of the Sea got married, and then the fish pond exploded, causing a big wedding. The hero and heroine were also one of them, and they even met each other's eyes, and their fate began.
"Does your character have something to say?"
Wei Yang glanced at Tian dangerously. He always felt that this bitch was looking at him.
"No, no, it's just an accident."
Of course it's the connotation, otherwise why would Boss Wei play the role of a scumbag for no reason? It's just to create buzz, but he definitely wouldn't dare to say this.
Wei Yang didn't take it to heart. After all, the project was an exclusive investment and he was making money for himself. It was not impossible to make a little sacrifice.
"But this line is a bit dry. Let's change it."
Wei Yang habitually began to change the script, and Tian Yusheng did not stop him. He wished Wei Yang could play more and give the movie more exposure.
"You change it first. The bride has arrived. I'll go take a look."
Tian Yusheng chatted for a while and asked Li Jiahang to accompany Wei Yang to change the script and put on makeup. He answered the phone and went to pick up people at the hotel door.
"Teacher Rouba...Nazar is here too."
When Tian Yusheng saw the two of them, he was happy and surprised. He and Rouba had met each other before, so they knew each other. He had taken a fancy to each other's popularity in "Run" and wanted to find her as a guest star.
Rouba is so popular right now that most people can't get it, but Tian Yusheng has a trump card.
He accidentally revealed that Boss Wei also made a cameo, and stated that the two were in a wedding scene.
So, Rouba, who was about to refuse with excuses, quickly nodded and agreed to come over to make a guest appearance. But what Tian Yusheng didn't expect was that Rouba was so particular and even brought Nazha.
This made Tian Yusheng burst into laughter, but he soon stopped laughing.
Because Naza quietly found him and declared that he could also guest star, but he did not want to guest star as his ex-girlfriend, but wanted to guest star as the bride.
"Director Tian, please help me. I will help you play a role next time. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I still know a few friends."
"I already agreed to this, Rouba."
Tian Yusheng was very embarrassed. It was not that he was unmoved, but if he broke his trust, he would offend Rouba.
"Don't worry, I'll go talk to her."
Nazha was sure that she could get Rouba to bring her here, not just by relying on the plastic sisterhood and holding Na Nizi's handle in her hands.
With Nazha's guarantee, Tian Yusheng was relieved, but within a few minutes of being at ease, Rouba came to the door again.
"Director Tian, no matter what others say to you, I hope you can stick to your principles. When you asked me for help, I came over without saying anything. I believe you will not let your friends down at the critical moment."
Tian Yusheng: "..."
You said that if there are two brides in a wedding, can a certain TV station pass the review?
