In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 435 Milei

Chapter 435 Milei…

"Wulin Gaiden" is different from previous dramas. This drama was not written by the company's screenwriters. The company is only an investor, and it is a project snatched from others...

From a moral point of view, it is indeed unreasonable to take away projects that others are optimistic about...

But no one sees this from a moral perspective!

I will only praise Shen Xudong and Tianmei Media for their outstanding vision...

"Wulin Gaiden" directly promoted six stars...

Except for Mo Xiaobei, all the actors have constant filming appointments!

In fact, there are still a lot of small moves during this period. Many film and television companies want to take advantage of "Wulin Gaiden" to strike while the iron is hot - launch a sequel.

Of course, Gao Fenfen also had ideas, and even offered a price of 500,000 for a single episode, directly stating that as long as Shang Jing is willing to film, she is willing to pay this price...

A sitcom that earns 500,000 per episode...

You must know that a single episode of "Wulin Gaiden" only costs about 120,000...

It's a pity that God of Wealth really couldn't be written - otherwise it wouldn't have been originally planned to have 100 episodes, but ended up with 81 episodes.

Creation requires inspiration, and "Wulin Gaiden" consumed most of Caishen's talent, so he had to wait a few years.

As a director, Shang Jing is very involved with Enlight Media. Together with Yu Baimei, he is developing a family ethics drama called "Behind the House" and plans to use the original cast of "Wulin Gaiden".

Of course these are things for later.

But Shen Xudong doesn't care, because in his memory, "Wulin Gaiden" represents a peak in the field of sitcoms, and it can never be surpassed.

As for "Behind the House", he had never even heard of it...

If the company wants to make money, just invest in it. Anyway, with the help of "Wulin Gaiden", "Behind the House" will definitely make some money...

After the popularity of "Wulin Gaiden", Tianmei Media's reputation as a must-have product has become even louder!

"Struggle", Tianmei Media's next work, is scheduled to be a hit!

Written by Shen Xudong and directed by Zhao Baogang, this is a powerful combination.

Now the two roles of Yang Xiaoyun and Mi Lai are publicly selected...

Oh, Gao Lu was rejected - Zhao Baogang felt that Gao Lu was too dignified and not suitable for Yang Xiaoyun...

Yang Xiaoyun is the kind of woman who is not very beautiful, but a little shrewd...

Shen Xudong simply called Yang Xiaomi and asked her to come and audition.

Yang Xiaomi readily agreed...

Mi Lai...the most perfect woman in "Struggle": persistent in love, daring to love and hate, and kind-hearted.

According to Zhao Baogang's idea, she must be white, rich and beautiful.

On the third floor of the company, Zhao Baogang met Shen Xudong and chatted about Mi Lai...

Compared with Yang Xiaoyun, Milai is more difficult to choose x-on:

He thought of a candidate: "Can Huang Shengyi do it?"

"... Huang Shengyi... I can't afford to pay her a salary of 300,000 yuan per episode. This is a youth idol drama, with a total investment of more than 20 million yuan..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "And she is busy playing wife partner with her rich husband. You invite her instead of her husband?"

Of course Zhao Baogang knew who Shen Xudong was talking about...

Shen Xudong declined to comment, remembering to use the words of a person who once commented on Huang Shengyi: a strange woman who was born in New China, lives in a scholarly family, grew up under the red flag, but lived in the old society...

Huang Shengyi, until the selection of "Four Little Actresses" in 2009, she was as famous as Liu Yifei and Yang Xiaomi!

Now?

"...Do you have any recommendations?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Let's take a look, just in case we meet someone!"

"become…"

The casting of "Struggle" is said to be casting a wide net, but in fact only a few people actually have the opportunity to audition in front of Shen Xudong and Zhao Baogang!

After all, the unsuitable ones were screened out in the first round...

Mi Lai is the protagonist!

Not a supporting role or a supporting role...

There is a general range from the beginning: around 25 years old, fair and rich... preferably with a sense of loneliness!

Therefore, Wang Luodan was screened out from the beginning - she was too dark, dark and thin!

In fact, this casting condition seems very difficult - loneliness?

What is loneliness?

Could it be that the casting was based on looks?

Well, actually it’s that kind of feeling with a touch of literature and art!

Feeling, Feel…

In fact, what Shen Xudong means is that you can do whatever you want...

Ahem.

Those who come to audition are basically actors who already have some experience.

Chen Xi passed by the conference room and stretched his head to take a look. There were more than a dozen people sitting there, all young and tender girls, all well-organized.

Among them are her classmate Zhou Yun...schoolmates Chen Shu, Zhang Xinyi, and a few familiar faces: Cao Xiwen, Tong Yao, Mao Junjie, Shen Jiani, Bai Jing, Guo Zhenni...

There is also the one from Nortel...

Che Xiao, Jiang Yan, Huang Lu, Ma Su, and a few others she didn't recognize...

But just looking at this ratio, Zhongxi still has the advantage.

Chen Xi thought this and opened the door to the audition room with satisfaction. Shen Xudong was chatting with Zhao Baogang... When he saw her coming in, he casually asked: "Is it almost done?"

"...Well, we can start."

"Then let them come in one after another..."

Casting is actually quite boring...

Especially for formal casting, it mainly depends on looks.

The actor meets the requirements of the role, and his image and temperament should be consistent with the requirements of the role, and then... look at the acting skills.

There is basically no need to look at acting skills when casting TV series. They are all serious actors, so there is no need to consider acting skills at all...

It is different from movies. Movies have to consider appeal and other factors. TV series are sold directly to TV stations...

Of course, dramas with well-known actors will sell better, but "Struggle" doesn't have to be like this.

The selling point of "Struggle" is Shen Xudong + Zhao Baogang.

The participation of well-known actors is just a bonus, not essential!

Therefore, Milai needs to use a new actress, or a less famous actress.

Shen Xudong looked at it for a long time, but there was no suitable one, but there was an actress named Xu Lingxue, which surprised him a bit, and she was from Nortel 02...

Is there such a beauty in Nortel Level 02?

The appearance and figure are both good choices, but unfortunately, it is too tall, with a visual estimate of 175...

It is best for actresses not to be too tall. If you are too tall, it will be difficult to find a male actor to play with you.

The ones who really get along in the entertainment industry are the kind of female stars who are around 1.6 meters tall and have a height difference with most male actors, making it easier to match up in roles.

No wonder they didn't get mixed up...

Besides, does Zhou Yun need to come here to audition?

She is Mrs. Jiang Wen...

What's wrong? Want to be an independent woman?

However, Zhao Baogang rejected her - Zhou Yun's young lady sense was too strong, unlike Mi Lai!

In the end, two people stayed, Zhang Xinyi and Che Xiao

Zhang Xinyi is an artist from Xinbaoyuan, and Che Xiao is purely Chen Xi who thinks it’s quite suitable...

Shen Xudong doesn't care...

Of course, he must be standing by Chen Xi.
