I became a scandal heroine overnight

Chapter 714 Resources and Networks

In the words of people in the industry, Zhou Lan's career has followed Zhou Yun's rise in the past few years.

I don't know how many managers are envious of Zhou Lan, and they met Zhou Yun, an artist, so they have masterpieces in this life, and they can live without worry.

Zhou Lan never denied this, and never said anything else.

She always smiled and said: "Yes, I am lucky. I must have accumulated good fortune in my previous life to meet an artist like Zhou Yun."

After she finished speaking, she continued to plan the development of others without stuttering.

Zhou Lan is a professional manager, except for Zhou Yun, she has other artists to be responsible for.

What is the agent trying to do?
Is it resources, or contacts, or the most critical point of view?

Zhou Lan now has no shortage of resources or contacts, but this can only ensure that her artists have filming opportunities and will not lose their jobs.

Looking at the entertainment industry, many people will find that there seem to be many such actors.They are not very popular and not very well-known, but the leading roles are played one after another.

Why is this happening?

There is a high probability that it is because there is a resourceful agent behind him, or a certain resourceful boss is helping.

So, even if not red?It doesn't matter.

In the current entertainment industry, many circles and contacts have solidified.

If you are an unknown person, if you don't care about human feelings, you won't be able to get on the show.

Zhou Lan didn't want Huang Zicheng and Lu Zhongting to act for seven or eight years, and their careers still haven't improved. They have acted in one play after another for many years, from young to middle-aged, and still no one knows.

But in fact, Zhou Lan also knew that no one could explain this kind of thing clearly.Red or not, this is a metaphysics.

"Oh, I haven't found a suitable play for Huang Zicheng." Zhou Lan and Zhou Yun chatted about this on the way to visit Yu Chu in the hospital with Zhou Yun.

"Why?" Zhou Yun asked.

Zhou Lan said: "Huang Zicheng's image is more sunny. Boy, he is also a sports student. Unlike Lu Zhongting, he doesn't have that kind of delicate and fair appearance. But most of the young people's dramas in the circle now, especially the male lead, They are all written according to this kind of delicate and clean style, and the audience likes to watch this kind of stuff."

"What kind of drama do the platforms like now?" Zhou Yun asked.

Zhou Lan: "First, youth campus themes, second, love idol dramas, third, realistic themes that can trigger social discussion and focus on hot spots, and fourth, suspenseful crimes or adventures. These four types of themes, the first type , male protagonists like to watch handsome boys, especially those who are more handsome, like Huang Zicheng, who are more sunny, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they are not popular. The second type, love idol dramas, Huang Zicheng is only suitable for acting at the present age The young man whose sister is in a relationship, who is serious about a relationship, in the words of the casting director, he is not suitable for female audiences, and cannot trigger hormonal impulses. The third category, he has no market, this category It is often the main front for powerful actors. The fourth category is generally IP adaptations, which Huang Zicheng basically cannot get. The ones that Huang Zicheng can get in touch with are all just some B-level projects, and I don’t want him to act. .”

Hearing what Zhou Lan said, Zhou Yun immediately understood what Zhou Lan's difficulty was.

To put it bluntly, Huang Zicheng's image is not what the mainstream market likes.

Zhou Yun said: "Among the more outstanding supporting roles, have you not found one that suits him?"

"I didn't find it. I really didn't mean that he must play the leading role. I just said that if this is not a movie starring first-line actors, I don't want him to play a supporting role. It's not necessary." Zhou Lan said, "Me, give him I have contacted several producers, and there will be a big drama in the future. No matter what, at least find a few important roles so that he can show his face more in the big drama and learn more from the mature team. I don’t want to let He went to that kind of unprofessional crew and got some bad habits."

There are many roles in TV dramas. With Zhou Lan's ability, it is no problem to find a few supporting roles for Huang Zicheng, but it is difficult for these roles to really push Huang Zicheng to a higher position.

Zhou Yun said: "It's really not possible, first take your time and practice your acting skills, and you will always find a role that suits him in the future. I think he and Lu Zhongting are still a bit young in acting."

"After all, they are not from majors, nor are they talented actors, but the two of them are still working hard, earnest and eager to learn." Zhou Lan said, "Take your time."

What Zhou Lan didn't say was that acting skills, unless you are as good as Song Chi and Zhou Yun, otherwise, even if your acting skills are really good, it will be difficult to stand out.

As an actor with acting skills, first of all, you have to meet a role and a space for performance that can give full play to your acting skills.

Newcomers like Huang Zicheng and Lu Zhongting are hard to come across.

Just like the Xianxia drama that Lu Zhongting went to act in, why didn't he want to act?Because he has no feelings for that character at all, nor does he have the belief in acting.

"By the way, where is Yu Zhiyang?" Zhou Yun asked.

Zhou Lan said: "Brother Chi sent him to learn acting."

"Huh?" Zhou Yun was a little surprised, "What acting are you learning?"

Zhou Lan: "It's serious about acting. Brother Chi found him a tutor, and he's taking classes in BJ."

Zhou Yun didn't even know about it.

She never thought that Song Chi would be so devoted to Zhi Yang that he even found him an acting teacher.

"I thought you were mainly responsible for Yu Zhiyang." Zhou Yun screamed a little while speaking, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen him since I came back."

After returning to China, several things happened to Zhou Yun one after another, but she didn't think of Yu Zhiyang.

until this time.

"I originally wanted to be responsible, but when Yu Zhiyang came over, wasn't Song Chi just filming "Jianyuntai"? He wanted to stay on the crew of "Jianyuntai", so I let him be there I stayed on the sidelines, but when "Jian Yuntai" finished filming, Yu Zhiyang sent him to BJ." Zhou Lan said dissatisfiedly, "I still want to complain to you, it was agreed at the time that he was It's up to us to take care of it, it's better now, it's all over to Song Chi."

Zhou Yun smiled.

"If Yu Zhiyang likes to stay with Song Chi, you can let him stay there." Zhou Yun said, "Anyway, you can't be too busy here."

"Speaking of which, how does that girl Zheng Xiaoju think?" Zhou Lan said, "Let her take charge of Huang Zicheng and Lu Zhongting, will she do it?"

"You have a serious talk with her. I think she still wants to do it in her heart, but she is afraid that she won't be able to do it well." Zhou Yun said, "She looks carefree, but her thoughts are still delicate."

Zhou Lan said: "She didn't dare to do it, and I can understand her feelings. When I first started working as an agent, I didn't dare. I was afraid, but people always have to take this step. She has always been by your side , to be honest, I am actually very lucky. I have not experienced the stage where everyone ignores you. But the work is not smooth, as long as you go up, you will always encounter such times. Her biggest advantage is that she She is eager to learn, and she has an eagerness to learn everything, and she can learn English as soon as she speaks. For a little girl like her who has never gone to college, it is really not easy, I know."

Zhou Yun nodded.

"Yeah, and the other one, I also think she's been my assistant all the time, it's a shame."

Zhou Lan: "I'll have a formal chat with her later. By the way, I plan to arrange another position for Cao Jun."

"Ok?"

"Our studio now manages five artists, and there will be more in the future. I want to hand over all the security to him. After working together for several years, I found that he is still a very reliable and responsible person." Zhou Lan said, "In addition to his experience as a soldier, I can trust him to manage the team."

Zhou Yun nodded.

"Then since this happened, wouldn't I have lost two generals all at once?"

"Zheng Xiaoju is not lost. She will continue to be your executive agent, but she will no longer follow you every day, and will still follow you on important schedules." Zhou Lan said, "Besides, Xiaoyun is also a familiar hand now. Well, it's okay for her to come on top, but I still need to arrange another assistant for you."

Zhou Yun said: "For the time being, Xiaoyun is enough, but it is true that I need to arrange a driver. Although I can drive, I am usually too tired after filming, or I have to catch up on sleep on the way."

Zhou Lan nodded: "Leave this to Xiaoju and Cao Jun."

Zhou Yun nodded.

"I won't transfer them until new people arrive."

to the hospital.

Zhou Yun and Zhou Lan first sent the big red envelopes they made, and then took a photo with the baby.

Yu Chu didn't seem to have changed from before the birth, and he was in good spirits.

"Thank you for coming to see me." Yu Chu said with a smile, "I'm getting bored when I'm alone."

Because she just gave birth, she can't go outside and can only lie on the bed. She has nothing to do these days.

Zhou Lan said: "I brought you a script. You can read the script during this time. I have accepted a play for you. It will start in the second half of next year. There is enough time for you to prepare."

Yu Chu was very surprised.

"Starting in the second half of next year? Now the script is ready?"

Zhou Lan said, "Well, because the crew has to wait for the lead actor's schedule."

"Who is the leading actor?" Yu Chu asked curiously.

With such a big name, the crew could wait for a year just to wait for him.

Zhou Lan said, "Gu Huaichun."

Yu Chu was even more surprised.

"Gu Huaichun?"

Zhou Lan smiled, "Didn't expect that?"

"I really didn't expect it."

"It's a drama produced by Yue Hai himself, starring Gu Huaichun, you play the heroine, besides you, there is another heroine, Liu Qingqing." Zhou Lan briefly introduced the lineup of actors, "Yes It's an adaptation of a big IP, besides the three of you, we also specially invited several powerful actors to lead the lineup."

"What play?" Yu Chu's appetite was whetted by what Zhou Lan said.

""Thoughts Without End." Zhou Lan said, "The fantasy-themed TV series adapted from the popular game is also scheduled to be broadcast on Starbroadcast."

Yu Chu: "Wow, I've heard of this game, and it's often on the top searches."

"Yes, Xu Jinbo and Cui Xidong admired you very much when they worked together on "Deep Sea" before, so when preparing for this drama, they named and said that they wanted to continue to cooperate with you. When writing the script, they also created it specifically based on you. I got this character." Zhou Lan said, "Don't worry, this script is an original character based on this IP's worldview, there is no prototype, and you won't be scolded by fans of the game."

Yu Chu smiled.

"With such a big IP, even if he is being chased and scolded, he has to act." Yu Chu said.

Zhou Lan: "This drama has attracted a lot of attention. You should read the script first. We'll talk about it after you give birth."

"Okay." Yu Chu's eyes became even more dazzling.

At this time, Yin Zhou came in from the outside.

"Xiaoyun, sister Lan, you are here." Yin Zhou smiled in surprise.

Zhou Yun teased: "Brother Zhou, why did you go all by yourself?"

Yin Zhou said: "I went to buy a few books. Chu Chu saw a few books she wanted to read on the Internet. I will buy them for her."

Yu Chu emphasized: "I'm really bored."

Zhou Yun said: "Reading books, watching dramas, time will pass."

"And isn't Yin Zhou accompanying you?" Zhou Lan said, "Take a good rest and recuperate. By the way, I've found you a few nannies. When do you think you'll meet them? You pick and choose, they're all friends." Introduced, used at home, reliable person."

Yu Chu immediately let out a moving cheer.

"Sister Lan, you are really timely. Yin Zhou and I have been worried about this matter recently, and we haven't found a suitable one."

"I'll see you first." Zhou Lan said, "Maybe the one I found for you isn't suitable."

"I believe in Miss Lan's vision, you must find the right one."

After leaving the hospital, Zhou Yun said to Zhou Lan: "I asked Director Jiang to have dinner together, sister Lan, do you want to come together?"

Zhou Lan shook his head.

"I asked Xu Jinbo to have dinner."

"Then we will part ways." Zhou Yun said with a smile.

Zhou Lan said: "You are having dinner with Director Jiang, and you just want to help me find out about Director Jiang's other filming plans later. I know some information so I can talk about whether it is suitable for us."

Zhou Yun said yes.

"Chen Yin" filmed by Zhou Yun and Jiang Xin has not yet aired.

However, Jiang Xin is already preparing for the next film to be filmed, and Wang Jing also starred in this film, called "Em God".

This is a drama with an ancient background theme, with a bit of fantasy color. The leading actor is Ren Fei. Ren Fei is a powerful actor. Because of this, it became popular and entered the field of vision of first-line big productions. In fact, this drama is a group drama. Strictly speaking, there is more than one male protagonist. In addition to Ren Fei, there are three powerful factions of Qin Lan, Liu Sucheng, and Wei Chen. Wang Jing It is Wu Fan, who is also the heroine in name, and is the most important female character in the play.

This drama is completely a drama team.

This is why Zhou Lan attaches so much importance to this drama.

In addition to Wang Jing, there are many other characters with names and surnames who play important roles. Jiang Xin has been meeting actors during this time.

After the meeting, Jiang Xin talked about his pain in choosing actors.

"There is a role of a teenage boy. I have met hundreds of candidates, but I haven't met a particularly suitable one." Jiang Xin said, "It is too difficult for an actor of this age to have sophisticated acting skills."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun said, "How about I recommend an actor to you? He will play "Words of Fallen Leaves" with me."
