I became a scandal heroine overnight

Chapter 931 Talent

Zhou Yun's idea is actually very simple. She has never thought about it in this direction before, but Huang Zicheng and Lu Zhongting have signed a contract for several years, and there has been little trouble. On the one hand, of course, their luck is not very good, and their talents are not very good. High, which leads to not being liked by the audience at a glance, but on the other hand, it is also because their positioning is very unclear. Unlike other brokerage companies, they have a very mature star-making process.

Zhou Lan arranged for the two of them to be a down-to-earth actor.

They don't participate in talent shows, and they don't engage in black and red routes, and they don't buy them some weird hot searches during the non-promotional period. Even variety shows usually only have one or two episodes, and they will definitely not be resident guests.

In this regard, on the one hand, Zhou Lan and Zhou Yun are worried about why the two of them have no upward trend, and even Xiaohong has no momentum, but on the other hand, they still hope that they can endure loneliness and still be down-to-earth acting.

It's not that being popular is bad, but they know that in this environment, if you become popular in this way, you will always be backlashed—sooner or later.

What Zhou Lan meant was that Huang Zicheng and Lu Zhongting are both so young, there is no need to worry about becoming popular. When they are young, they have laid a good foundation as actors, gradually improved their acting skills, and rely on their works to shine and be liked by the audience. This kind of popularity is solid Yes, there will be no backlash.

Thinking about it again, before "Questioning the Heart" aired, although Zhou Yun was popular, she had a lot of troubles.

When did she start to leave everyone behind in a single ride, and when did everyone subconsciously take everything she had for granted?
It was after "Days" was released, after it won an award, and after it was treated seriously by various international organizations, media, and activists time and time again.

Just imagine, if she didn't have acting talent, if she didn't have a near-miraculous vision for film selection, if she didn't succeed in one movie after another, how long would the popularity she gained through the scandal with Song Chi last?

It's a pity that, except for Wang Jing, who has her unique feeling and style in acting, the others, from Yu Chu to the two boys, have less obvious acting talents.

In this case, forcibly promoting popularity will only be backlashed.

In fact, Yu Chu is in a situation like this - even if she is a model worker who mentions her in the entire online world, she will sincerely praise her for her hard work, but she still hasn't shown her acting skills that can match her current popularity, so she Every time the play of "Xiang Li" is broadcast, either the character is chosen and the audience likes her, or she is criticized to the point of being utterly disfigured.

Now Yu Chu is still an actor who needs to rely on plays and roles to protect her.

Zhou Yun said: "Promoting them from the aspect of international cooperation can give them a very different impression. Our domestic market is too big, and the supply of top stars has always been in short supply. This caused almost everyone ten years ago. The situation that everyone wants to go to Hollywood for gold plating has almost completely disappeared. No one thinks that they want to go to Hollywood for gold plating, and they are all fighting in their own market. However, we very much hope to spread Chinese content and build international influence , this piece, as you said, is a big gap, so why don't we take the opportunity to make a name for ourselves first?"

"How should I put it, the opportunities for international cooperation they are getting now are not so bright."

"I know, but we don't need to make a big publicity. We just regard international cooperation as a very common opportunity. It's just that the actors in our studio are actually receiving international cooperation invitations." Invitation." Zhou Yun said, "In any case, leaving this kind of impression on everyone can distinguish them from others. Compared with the impression of "a contracted actor brought by Zhou Yun", it is still "have international cooperation experience." actors' impression is more helpful to their careers."

"It is."

Zhou Lan suddenly remembered something.

"Did you also announce the movie you are going to cooperate with director Antonio Scierra?"

"Forget about me, the main point is to promote them." Zhou Yun said, "Besides, they didn't announce it, so it's not good for us to announce it directly. Let's wait for their news. What is the plan for this movie?" Time to shoot? Is there any news?"

"No." Zhou Lan said, "Just communicated with us about the approximate schedule, and it will be after October this year at the earliest, and the specific time has not yet been determined. They are still looking for a male actor. In the script, he is a boy. , the director wants to find a newcomer."

Zhou Yun nodded.

"Oh, by the way, the director Mo Conglan who asked you to shoot "The Scholar in the Hidden Mountain" before, his agent sent me a new script and wants to invite you to act." Zhou Lan said, "I I read it, I don’t particularly like it myself, the main reason is that the story he wants to shoot, I don’t think it will be released in mainland China.”

"Ah?" Zhou Yun wondered, "Why?"

"The protagonist is a professional prostitute." Zhou Lan said, "It's impossible to show it."

Zhou Yun understood as soon as he heard it.

"Then his producer and agent didn't tell him?"

"Who knows."

Zhou Yun said, "Please show me the script, and I'll give him a call later."

"Okay." Zhou Lan said yes.

Zhou Yun talked about the "Qiming Project" again.

"If this plan is really launched and fifty young actors are to be selected to join this plan, Xiao Jing will definitely try her best to keep her in." Zhou Yun said, "This plan is not that important to Chuchu, she is not Relying on this plan to compete with others, she basically didn't make movies before, but Huang Zicheng and Lu Zhongting, if they can compete for one, it would be good."

"Yes, the key is the two of them." Zhou Lan nodded, "Oh, there is one thing I'm afraid I'll forget. Tonight's "Dust in the Past 1995" starring Zhongting will start broadcasting. Please help him forward the promotional Weibo."

"Okay, if I forget to upload it, please remind me again, this drama was finished in January this year, right? It aired so soon." Zhou Yun was a little surprised.

"Teacher Liang Yuanpu is the leading role. His plays have always been given priority." Zhou Lan said, "I watched a few clips of Zhong Ting's performance, and his progress is still quite fast, and there are a few scenes that are very explosive."

Zhou Yun: "Is he filming in the crew now?"

"He is filming the second part of "Spirit of Heart" with Liu Qingqing, playing the leading role." Zhou Lan said, "The first part of "Soul of Heart" had a good reputation before. When Liu Qingqing opened the second part, he dedicated Pass me the script, and find Lu Zhongting to play the male second."

"Did she find you?"

"Yes." Zhou Lan said, "She really wants to have a good relationship with you now."

Zhou Yun said, "All right."

Zhou Lan: "She has really changed a lot, the hostility she used to have disappeared."

"People change." Zhou Yun said, "We have all changed a lot."

"Don't rush to praise her, her intention is very clear, she knows that you and Yue Hai are going to shoot "Flower City", and she wants to play the second female lead of this show." Zhou Lan said, "That's why I show you frequently OK."

"Her? Female No. [-]?" Zhou Yun's eyes widened in surprise.

It's not that she's exaggerating, it's that she never thought that one day Liu Qingqing would be willing to play the second female lead for her.

It's not a question of who wins and who loses.

If Liu Qingqing doesn't play the second female lead for her, she won't starve to death.On the contrary, she has a lot of filming, she is just kicked out of the heroine candidate list from the S+ level project, it doesn't mean she can't play the heroine of other projects.In fact, she has broken new ground in suspense and horror themes, which made Zhou Yun feel that this woman is quite capable of tossing around.

Zhou Lan: "Liu Qingqing is working hard to return to the S+ sequence."

"Can you play "Flower City" with me?"

"There's nothing wrong with her audience base. She has fame. She has fans. She's just short of the momentum she lost because of the scandal of her unmarried pregnancy." Zhou Lan said, "Now it's The platform and investors don't believe that she can take on a big drama, because they all think that her impression in the hearts of the audience has been broken, but if she can regain the love of the audience in a hit drama, her The opportunity will come again."

Zhou Yun understood.

Zhou Lan also said: "Actually, the actress market in our mainland is quite deformed-I don't mean anything else, but, if you look at the actor markets in other countries and regions, the top and TOP actresses are almost without exception. All of them are movie stars, no matter what age they are, but in our mainland, most of the actresses in the age range from 20 to 40 years old, the top and most TOP actresses are mainly TV dramas. This In fact, it is also related to the fact that most of our mainland movie creation revolves around male characters, while most drama productions revolve around female characters. If Liu Qingqing wants to return to her original position, she can only find it in a hit drama Otherwise, no matter how many "Sinister" she makes, or even one blockbuster movie, it will not be enough to restore her blood."

Zhou Yun said: "The second female lead in "Flower City" is not our decision."

Zhou Lan: "No, but if we don't want Liu Qingqing to play the role, Yue Hai will definitely not agree to let her play. Let an actress who used to be in the S+ sequence play the second female role. This is very important for the show "Flower City" Of course, it's the icing on the cake, and it even increases a lot of topicality, but Yue Hai also knows very well that you are the real trump card of this show, and Yue Hai will wipe away all the factors that will cause you dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Exterminate."

"It makes me look like that kind of big villain." Zhou Yun said, "Liu Qingqing wants to compete for the role of the second female lead, of course I will not refuse, she is not Xu Siyao or Su Yan."

Only these two people were really included in Zhou Yun's blacklist.

"Heh, even if you invite them to play the second female lead, these two people won't come." Zhou Lan said, "They are all popular now, unlike Liu Qingqing. In fact, if Liu Qingqing With half of the glory in the past, she will not come to play the second female lead for you."

The reality is that.

"Has the cast casting for "Flower City" started?" Zhou Yun asked.

Zhou Lan said: "It started a long time ago. The only actors who have been confirmed are you and Gu Huaichun. The other roles are still auditioning. Because you are starring, there are many actors who are interested in this drama. Yue Hai seems I really want to make this show an all-star cast."

"Don't look at the excitement, it's fine if you don't fit the role in the end."

"No, don't worry, we're all watching." Zhou Lan said, "I also sent Huang Zicheng and Lu Zhongting to audition. There are more than 70 characters with names and surnames in this drama. It's an epic drama." drama, if they can win one or two roles, I will be satisfied."

"The crew will probably be pretty big by then." Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Yue Hai is rich and powerful."

Zhou Lan: "That's great. Originally, the actor who played your younger brother in the play was interested in Chen Jing. The producer had communicated with Chen Jing's team before, but this time Chen Jing's two films were shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, which gave him his status. I went up immediately, I guess I won't play a supporting role in this play again."

"It's a pity that the film "One Word" received so much positive feedback from the media, but it didn't win an award."

"It's really a pity." Zhou Lan said, "But there is an element of luck in winning the prize."

"Then are they looking for someone else for this role?" Zhou Yun asked.

Zhou Lan nodded.

"I think this role is actually quite suitable for Huang Zicheng to play." Zhou Yun said, "You let him try this role."

Zhou Lan was taken aback.

"This role is quite important. Although it's a supporting role, it's one of the protagonists who run through the entire plot. Shall I let Huang Zicheng try it?" Zhou Lan hesitated, "Is it suitable?"

"You ask Yue Hai and the others to go through the normal audition. If you try it, you can play it. If you don't try it, you can change to another role." I have received dozens of episodes of this kind of drama, and I feel a headache when I think of so many lines to memorize."

"You always say that, but when it comes to a good script, you don't care." Zhou Lan complained.

Zhou Yun: "Then you must persuade me next time not to pick up."

Zhou Lan: "Who made Yue Hai not willing to divide it into three seasons? It's really stressful to shoot so many in one go."

"Shooting in three seasons, there are too many unexpected factors. Which actor in the middle is popular and refuses to act in the latter, which is also a trouble. Coordinating the schedule of so many actors is even more troublesome." Zhou Yun himself feels that the actors have a lot of troubles , and a lot of trouble.

Zhou Lan: "That's what you said. Anyway, this period of time is the time for you to take a good rest. You should take a good rest. After you finish filming the scenes of "Year", I guess you will start to go crazy. Don’t forget, there are still several movies waiting for you to join the filming team next year.”

Zhou Yun looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

It's really... the result of committing suicide.

At this time, Shi Luoqi suddenly called Zhou Yun.

"Xiaoyun!" Her tone revealed surprise in a hurry.
