425: Three Actresses Who “Can’t Be Made Famous”

Jiang Ge heard this and said: "There is no need to have as many as seven, five is enough. Google search to read"

"Ah?" Zhou Lingwei was confused and asked, "Don't Wei Xiaobao have seven wives?"

Wei Xiaobao indeed has seven wives, not only beautiful, but also from different origins.

Shuang'er is a maid from an official family, and she is also a pretty girl with "snow-white face, crooked eyebrows, small mouth, and a smile as bright as a flower." She is loyal to Wei Xiaobao, docile and considerate, and Wei Xiaobao gets along with her most easily.

Zeng Rou is the daughter of the Wangwushan bandit and is the least mentioned in the book. She has always kept the few dice that Wei Xiaobao gave her when they first met.

Mu Jianping is the princess of Prince Mu's Palace. She is the youngest among the seven wives and the most innocent. She has the temperament of a lady and the elegant character of a scholarly family.

Fang Yi is a warrior in Prince Mu's palace. Her face is as crystal clear as jade, and when reflected in the candlelight, she is extremely charming. Her character is obscure and complex, and she is very scheming.

Su Quan is the wife of the leader of the Shenlong Cult. She is the oldest, and her beauty is uncompromising. The original article writes: "She looks like she is only twenty-three or four years old. She has a slight smile, is charming and extremely gorgeous."

Ake is the daughter of Li Zicheng, the most beautiful among the seven wives. The original work writes: "When Wei Xiaobao saw this girl, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, her chest felt as if she had been hit hard by an invisible hammer, and her lips suddenly became dry. My tongue is dry and I think, I am dead, I am dead, if this beauty becomes my wife, the little emperor will not change my position with me."

Jianning is Kangxi's younger sister. She is unruly and willful, outspoken, and not familiar with worldly affairs. However, she is able to give up her glory and wealth for Wei Xiaobao and follow him around the world. The relationship the two build during their fights is irreplaceable.

but……

The movie version adapted by Wang Jingmo has made changes to Wei Xiaobao's seven wives.

Zhou Lingwei has not read the script, so of course she doesn’t know. Jiang Ge explained: “It’s like this. There are some changes in this version. First, only Long Er, Jian Ning and A Ke are retained. Second, the setting of Shuang Er is changed. As a pair of twins, in the end due to time constraints, Mu Jianping, Fang Yi and Zeng Rou were deleted.”

When Zhou Lingwei heard this, she was greatly surprised and said, "Is it such a big change?"

Jiang Ge said helplessly: "Even if it is divided into two parts, it will only last about four hours. The most fearful thing about a group drama is that it will not be prioritized. There will be too many main characters, which will cause the writing to be scattered, so that the characters cannot be fully displayed."

If you write about Mu Jianping and Fang Yi, you have one more line about Prince Mu's Mansion, and if you write about Zeng Rou, there is one more line about Wangwushan. Dozens of episodes of a TV series are not enough, let alone a few hours of movie.

After saying this, Zhou Lingwei understood and said: "That's right."

Jiang Ge then entered his mailbox, opened one of the emails, and said, "Come and help me choose."

Zhou Lingwei moved the computer chair next to him, then looked at the computer screen. The sender was from Huafeng Media Production Department, and the title was [Actress 18~55 years old]. She immediately narrowed her eyes and said "hum" twice. .

Jiang Ge hurriedly said: "This is the information they screened during the previous casting selection for "Nirvana in Fire"."

As he spoke, he clicked the mouse to return to the homepage of his inbox, pointed at another email, and said, "Look, there is [actor aged 18~55] here."

Zhou Lingwei smiled like a flower, without any sign of anger, and said softly: "I didn't say anything."

Sometimes, what is not said is scarier than what is said.

Jiang Ge smiled, moved the mouse again, clicked on the email just now and started to read the information.

——————

The entertainment industry is a very magical place. Some people may become famous overnight and become top-notch and A-list because of a small move, but there are also some people who are not popular even though they have participated in many dramas.

in,

In the list of "actresses who are not popular no matter how much they are praised" compiled by netizens, the top three are Dong Yi, Gu Yitong and Zhong Ruoqin.

Dong Yi, 28 years old, is a very good actress. She was well-known to the audience for her role as the young Xue Baochai in "A Dream of Red Mansions". She later participated in many dramas, and almost every one of them was a "hit", but The problem is that it is still not popular and has not become a real front line.

Gu Yitong, 27 years old, has first-class resources. She played the leading female role when she first debuted, and her subsequent dramas are very popular. However, the impression given to people is that "everyone knows Gu Yitong, but everyone knows Everyone knows that Gu Yitong is not popular."

Zhong Qinrong, 27 years old, has good acting skills, and was on the same starting line as Guan Yansi and other post-95s florets. However, after every filming, she would take a break to better prepare for the next film. But there was a break in popularity, so even now, after appearing in many dramas and roles, there is still no big hit.

The most interesting thing is that all three of them belong to the same company-Alibaba Entertainment.

After the suspension of Xiami Music in July last year, Alibaba Group's only entertainment industries are Alibaba Entertainment, Alibaba Pictures and Alibaba Literature.

Alibaba Entertainment has been in a state of limbo for a long time. Whether it is external film and television dramas or self-produced film and television dramas, it basically loses more and makes less. As for the artists, the male one can't get rid of the halo of the singer's younger brother Zhang Fucheng, and the female one Dong Yi, Gu Yitong and Zhong Ruoqin are not popular.

Just when he was considering whether to quit the industry, Zhang Fucheng was spotted by Jiang Ge. With his role as Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story", he became very popular. He received film appointments, endorsements, activities, etc., and directly extended half of his life.

Alibaba Entertainment at the moment.

Everyone in the company is gossiping, because there is a big news circulating internally.

"Did you hear that?"

"Huafeng has contacted our company and needs actresses to star in their new drama!"

"Django's play?"

"Yes, Hua Feng is currently producing and releasing all his movies and TV series."

"Is the news credible?"

"Gao, it came from the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Didn't you see it this morning? The manager of the Economic Department had a smile on his face that had not changed for thousands of years."

"But the actresses in our company, well, let's not talk about it..."

"It's really hard to put it into words. The dramas in which the first sister, second sister, and third sister appeared, even the actors who played supporting roles for them became popular, but they themselves were not popular."

"However, except for Dong Yi, Gu Yitong and Zhong Ruoqin, there are no young actresses who can be on the stage. It can't be Long Po. They are just supporting roles at most. The economic department manager will not be so happy."

"Look, who is that!"

…

At the front desk of the company, the discussion stopped abruptly. Several employees turned their attention to the door. A classical beauty with big eyes, an oval face, willow eyebrows and a cherry mouth was walking in.

This woman is Dong Yi. The manager who came downstairs to pick her up was smiling and whispered: "Just now I checked the wind behind my head. Although he didn't tell me clearly, I could hear it. Huafeng Media It’s you who ordered it!”

When Dong Yi heard this, he was secretly happy, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and said: "That's not necessarily true. After all, no formal notice has been issued yet."

"Believe me, 99% of the time it's you!" The manager said with a guaranteed look, "Think about it, Gu Yitong and Zhong Ruoqin's new dramas have been filmed recently, but yours has not been filmed. Moreover, the role you played this time has been widely praised. Huafeng Media must have noticed this. In short, this is not a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You also know how many entertainment companies and big bosses in the industry want to fill in the drama of Django. No one succeeded."

Dong Yi naturally knows that Zhang Fucheng of the same company is the best example.

After debuting for ten years, she has become a familiar face but is still half popular. She is very unwilling to do so. If she misses this opportunity, she will not be able to forgive herself.

Finally got through it!

Elevator entrance.

The two people who were waiting anxiously suddenly heard a commotion at the front desk. They turned around and frowned.

A cute, sexy, charming and pure beauty had just entered the door of the company, and she was also followed by an agent.

"Why is Gu Yitong here?"

Alibaba Entertainment is no different from Huafeng Media. The relationship between its artists is only friendly on the surface, but secretly they compete with each other and grab resources.

Dong Yi's good mood was instantly gone.

"Sister Dong, long time no see." Gu Yitong was the first to say hello. After all, she had seniority, age, and was the first sister of Alibaba Entertainment.

"Long time no see. Why did sister Yitong come to the company? Aren't you filming "Dear Inn" recently?" Dong Yi asked calmly.

"It was Mr. Peng who said there was something important to announce." Gu Yitong replied quite frankly.

"Really..." Dong Yi's smile froze slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

The two stopped talking and stared at the elevator floor display with different thoughts.

15.

14.

13.

At this moment, a fairy model, a pure and beautiful beauty from Xiaojiabiyu, stepped into the door of the company under the gaze of several eyes. Who else was it if it wasn't Zhong Ruoqin.

Okay!

[Actresses who are not popular no matter how much they are praised] The top three on the list, the first sister, the second sister, and the third sister of Alibaba Entertainment are all here.

The moment Dong Yi and Gu Yitong saw Zhong Ruoqin, their expressions changed slightly. They usually didn't encounter Zhong Ruoqin in a year, but today they didn't look at the almanac when they went out, so they bumped into them all at once.

"Sister Dong, Sister Gu, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

…

After a round of polite words, the atmosphere suddenly became deserted.

Seeing them entering the elevator, the company receptionist started chatting again.

"What's going on?"

"Yes, they are all here!"

"There is definitely a big gossip in this."

"Don't Huafeng Media want an actress?"

"Didn't they specify who the three of them were to compete for the position?"

"Isn't it possible? Doesn't Django always look for specific people in his behavior?"

"Then what's going on?"

"Is there a possibility that all three of them have been spotted?"

"Huafeng Media wants to bring together three 'unpopular' figures in one drama?"

"Create a hell-level difficulty dungeon by yourself?"

…

Today, this matter gradually became simple and confusing.

After getting out of the elevator, Dong Yi, Gu Yitong, and Zhong Ruoqin chatted wordlessly. Their destination was the same place, the president's office.

"Oh, they're all here."

Seeing that it was them, the president of Alibaba Entertainment stood up and greeted them to the reception area of ​​the office. He briefly asked about their current situation, and then got into the topic and said: "You must have heard from the agent. Let me make a long story short, Huafeng Media will start filming in the second half of the year. It’s a new play and I’ve invited you to audition.”

The three women were stunned on the spot.

Are there any invitations?

Three contending for one?

What about the 99% promised?

How could the president not know about the open and secret struggles between them? The company tacitly accepts this behavior. Only with competition can there be progress. He turned and said, "No matter who is selected, they must seize the opportunity and never mess it up!"

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and said, "Now I will contact Huafeng Media to check the script and the audition time. Don't talk."

"Got it."

The three women said in unison.

Dong Yi glanced at Gu Yitong and Zhong Ruoqin, and her heart was beating. The gap between their acting skills was very small. If they were auditioning for the same role, it was really hard to say who would be selected.

Gu Yitong and Zhong Ruoqin lowered their heads, thinking about how to win.

"Hello, hello, I am Peng Yanbing, the president of Ali Entertainment..."

"I want to ask..."

"Okay, okay, okay..."

...

After the call was connected, Peng Yanbing's face was unconsciously full of smiles.

The three women suddenly became nervous, clenched their silver teeth, and were waiting for a result.

"Okay, okay!" Peng Yanbing hung up the phone after just over a minute.

However,

the three women felt like every second was a year.

But Peng Yanbing did not talk to them, but stared at the screen of his mobile phone waiting for something, and he seemed to be in a better mood than before.

For a moment, the whole office was shrouded in silence, and the atmosphere was slightly depressing.

About a minute later, Peng Yanbing's mobile phone rang. After operating it for a while, he looked up at them and said, "I got the script."

The three women looked at him with flashing eyes.

Peng Yanbing's mouth corners slightly raised, and he slowly said, "What you are going to try is the movie "The Deer and the Cauldron: The Battle for the Imperial City" directed by Jiang Ge himself."

Classic IP!

The key is still Jiang Ge's director!

Oh my, this is a chance to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix, we must grab it!

The three women's breathing became more and more rapid.

Peng Yanbing's next words made them ecstatic, and they stood up from the sofa directly: "Dong Yi is going to try out for the role of Jianning, Gu Yitong is going to try out for the role of Da Shuang'er, and Zhong Ruoqin is going to try out for the role of Xiao Shuang'er."

This...

The three women stood there blankly, their minds were blank.

It turned out that

they were not trying out for the same role, and there was no competition at all.

Peng Yanbing was wrong at first, but she didn't dare to think too much. After understanding the specific situation, she was very happy. Zhang Fucheng's success was vivid in her mind, and now she could replicate three successes. She immediately adjusted her mood and said seriously: "Jiang Ge is recognized in the industry for his unique vision. Almost all the people who were selected have become famous. Letting you try out these three roles is obviously a recognition of your acting skills. So, how important is such an opportunity? I don't need to emphasize it again, right?"

The three women panted, their hearts pounding, and nodded in unison.

After a while.

They walked out of the president's office together, their excitement was beyond words.

The agents who were waiting like ants on a hot pot hurried to greet them.

That was Jiang Ge's play!

It was a great opportunity to turn around the situation of the artists they managed.

"How is it?"

The three small groups asked the same question.

After listening to their respective stories, the three agents behaved exactly the same way, surprised and ecstatic at the same time!

——————

Jiang Ge didn't know that a choice he made with Zhou Lingwei would change the fate of the three actresses.

At this time,

he was shooting the fifth episode of "The Story of Time" in Studio 2 of the Blueberry Satellite TV Building. The theme of this episode was farewell. The Huafeng artists were Zhu Ping and Shi Changxin, and the special guests were the national music master Fang Cong and his old friend Wu Zhaotang.
