This host is too professional

Chapter 373: Just messing around?
  Home.

When Ye Luo came back from get off work in the evening, Sister Rou had already prepared the meal.

She hasn't been to the company recently and has been idle at home. Either practicing calligraphy or going shopping with Zhao Xiaotao, life can be said to be quite relaxed and happy.

"Why do you keep coming back so late lately?"

Sister Rou asked casual questions while placing the dishes and chopsticks. Although it was a normal time to get off work, when had Ye Luo gotten off work normally before? He usually goes to work at 2 o'clock and leaves at 3 o'clock. That is to say, during this recent period, he stayed at the unit until after 5 o'clock and did not come back.

"Isn't this the preparation for a TV series? There are a lot of things to do again." Ye Luo said while changing his shoes, "We still have to keep an eye on the liberal arts college, and we are busy again."

"Is your channel really planning to make a TV series?" Sister Rou looked calm most of the time, but this time she also showed a rare look of surprise.

Even Tang Rou found it a bit incredible that a music channel invested in the filming of a TV series.

"Well, the review at the station has already been passed. Director Shang is looking for actors these days. Once the actors are almost in place, the filming will probably be started." Ye Luo walked to the dining table and helped Tang Rou Let’s set the dishes together.

Although there were only two of them at home, the meal was quite sumptuous.

There are four dishes and one soup, and each dish is very exquisite.

Ye Luo sniffed hard and said with an intoxicated look, "Sister Rou is truly a gold medal chef. When you went to sing, it was really a big loss to the chef world."

Sister Rou smiled lightly, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

"okay."

Ye Luo was all smiles.

This kind of life really makes him feel more satisfied.

The two of them were chatting while eating, and they were talking about non-nutritious things.

Small talk is like this.

"Teacher Tang, isn't the company busy recently?" Ye Luo asked casually.

"I'm not busy, there's nothing wrong."

Tang Rou's status in the company is much higher than Ye Luo's status in their TV station. Her work is basically arranged according to her mood.

The reason why I was so busy a while ago is because I took on many variety show recording tasks for music channels. Now that the first season of "The Masked Singer" has ended, and the recording of the second season of "The Voice" has also entered the advanced stage, there is still only one show left that requires a little effort, "I Am a Singer". This workload can be said to be very easy for Tang Rou.

"It's so free and there's no point in staying at home. Do you want a new challenge?" Ye Luo said with a smile, like a big bad wolf deceiving a little girl.

But, is Sister Rou a little girl?

As soon as she saw Ye Luo's appearance, she knew that Ye Luo had definitely set his sights on her again.

Sister Rou put down her chopsticks, looked at Ye Luo and said, "Let me tell you first, I have never acted."

Ye Luo frowned. He knew Tang Rou was smart, but he didn't expect her to be so smart.

Before he finished speaking, Sister Rou already knew what he meant.

However, there is nothing embarrassing about it.

Ye Luo saved him a lot of time and said with a smile, "It's okay if you've never acted before. This thing isn't difficult." Then, Ye Luo also put down his bowls and chopsticks and came to Tang Rou's side to sit with her. Together, he continued: "Sister, in our play, there is a role that is particularly suitable for you. Director Shang and I have searched all over the entertainment industry, but we have not found anyone who is more suitable for you."

Sister Rou raised her eyebrows, "Which role?"

Although Tang Rou has not read the script, she has already heard the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" told by Ye Luo.

Is there any role here that suits you?
  Sister Rou couldn't help but be a little confused.

She never thought that Ye Luo would let her play the heroine. Tang Rou knew very well how much effort Ye Luo had put into this drama.

"Bai Suzhen." Ye Luo said.

"Who?"

Tang Rou's eyes widened immediately, "You want me to play the heroine? Teacher Ye, are you kidding me? I have never acted before."

Tang Rou has always been a very confident woman.

However, self-confidence does not mean blindly believing in yourself.

Although Tang Rou knew a lot of things, she had never tried acting before.

You know, the drama "The Legend of the White Snake" is a proper heroine type. The success of this drama largely depends on the heroine's grasp and performance of the role.

Is it really possible to bring in someone who has never performed before?

Tang Rou has a very clear understanding of herself.

She knows she is popular, and she also knows how terrifying traffic she can bring if she appears in a TV series for the first time. However, she didn't think it was the right choice for Ye Luo to choose herself to star. If it was for the traffic on her body, then she felt that Ye Luo was really going the other way.

Tang Rou pursed her lips and said, "Teacher Ye, I think you should think about it carefully. There are already enough gimmicks in this drama on your stage, and there is no lack of attention at all. Don't get carried away by the traffic. You should still focus more on the content of your work." Tang Rou did not resent Ye Luo's use of her body's heat, but she was afraid that Ye Luo would slowly lose her original direction in the flow.

However, this time Tang Rou really went astray.

Ye Luo really hasn't thought about this aspect.

Hearing what she said, Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, then grinned and explained in a dumbfounded way: "Sister Rou, where are you thinking? What I like is not the warmth on your body."

Ye Luo's words are not bragging. Although nothing about their drama has been exposed. In fact, even the opening ceremony was not held, it was just the establishment of the crew. But even so, it has still attracted huge attention in the circle.

The phone number of the business director was bombarded almost every day.

There were major TV stations who came to inquire about the news, and there were even investors who wanted to get involved. Of course, the largest number of companies are major entertainment companies. There are too many companies that want to send their own artists to the crew. In fact, there are many business directors with hints and hints, as long as they can join the group and have a role, any conditions can be met. Even discussing the script with the actress at night is completely fine.

Fortunately, Director Shang has a clear mind. Knowing who the big and small kings are in the crew, he would never answer such calls.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ye Luo's "New White Snake Legend" itself will not lack traffic.

The main reason why he wanted Tang Rou to play Bai Suzhen was that Tang Rou fit the role so well.

Looks good enough!
  dignified atmosphere!

There is an air of immortality about him!
  Apart from Tang Rou, Ye Luo really didn't know who else could be so compatible.

In addition, Director Shang said before that as long as he can invite Tang Rou, he can provide guidance on acting.

Therefore, Ye Luo wanted to discuss it with Sister Rou.

Unexpectedly, Sister Rou was misunderstood.

However, Ye Luo also knew that Sister Rou was thinking about him and was afraid that he would take a detour.

Ye Luo continued, "I really feel that this role belongs to you."

Then, he began to analyze Sister Rou, "Look, first of all, in terms of appearance and temperament, apart from you, I can't find anyone in the entire entertainment industry who meets my requirements for a white lady. Secondly, Ah, there are many scenes that need to be sung in our play. Sister Rou, you are an expert in this area. When the time comes, we will just use the original voice to save the audience from the show. Even other actors, you are present If so, I can also give guidance, which is a lot more convenient.”

"As for acting, sister Rou, you don't have to worry. Shang Xuejun has promised me that as long as he can invite you here, he will be responsible for training you, and there will definitely be no problem."

When Ye Luo explained, Tang Rou realized that she had really gone astray just now.

"That's it."

Tang Rou nodded, then raised her face with her hands, tilted her head and looked at Ye Luo, and said, "Then what if I'm too stupid and can't perform well?"

"How is that possible? Teacher Tang is so smart. If you are stupid, how will others live?" Ye Luo stretched out his hand to praise her little nose.

But Sister Rou said again, "Then who will play Xu Xian?" She looked at Ye Luo with an incomprehensible look in her eyes.

Ye Luo has already thought about this problem. The best case scenario is that he comes directly.

However, Ye Luo really couldn't appear in the show this time.

First, his current identity is somewhat sensitive, and it would be somewhat taboo for him to star in this channel's drama as an actor. After all, actors are different from hosts and variety show contestants, and the remuneration they need is simply different. Ye Luo is a leader himself. If he earns this money, he will inevitably gossip. As the deputy director now, he is in great power, so it is best not to get involved in these things.

Second, he really didn't have the time. Not to mention the daily work of the unit, even the "Yip's Literary Engineering Group" would invite him over every two days. If he was participating in this drama, he would probably be almost exhausted if he didn't say he was exhausted throughout the day.

Of course, the character Xu Xian is, after all, the husband-in-law of White Snake in the play, and it is inevitable that he would have close contact during the filming. Therefore, if Ye Luo himself does not participate in the role, it is certainly impossible to find another actor.

What Ye Luo thought was that Xu Xian was already a weak person, so he might as well find an actress to dress up as a man.

This not only fits Xu Xian's image, but also avoids Tang Rou's contact with other male actors.

It will also avoid a lot of trouble during the shooting process.

Ye Luo told Sister Rou his thoughts, and Sister Rou was stunned for a moment.

"Finding an actress to play the male lead?"

She looked at Ye Luo with a question mark on her face. Tang Rou really couldn't figure out how he came up with such a fantastic idea.

Sister Rou has been in the entertainment industry for so long. Although she has never acted, she has heard much more news than Ye Luo. But even so, she had never heard of such an outrageous operation.

"This……"

Sister Rou's mind was a little confused and she didn't know what to say. She originally thought that since Ye Luo would invite her to play the female lead, he would definitely play the male lead. After all, based on Tang Rou's understanding of Ye Luo, although this guy seemed carefree at ordinary times, he was actually very petty. He would definitely not let himself play husband and wife with another man... However, Sister Rou still underestimated Ye Luo.

Who would have thought that Ye Luo was going to let an actress play the male lead?
  "Does your director know this?" Sister Rou asked, dumbfounded.

"I haven't told him yet." Ye Luo smiled, "But I think he will be very satisfied, right?"

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the business leader agrees or not.

"Teacher Ye, do you really think this is okay?" Tang Rou calmed down her expression and looked at him seriously.

Ye Luo nodded, took Tang Rou's little hand, and whispered softly, "I have high expectations for this drama. The music channel has now reached a bottleneck period. If the ratings want to continue to grow, they can only I can find new ways. So, I am serious about this drama. I also thought a lot about the casting. Don't worry, it's definitely not impulsive."

"Well, that's fine." Sister Rou said softly, "When are you going to start filming? When do I need to join the set?"

Ye Luo looked at Tang Rou in surprise, "Sister Rou, are you agreeing?"

"Director Ye has spoken, how dare I refuse to agree?" Sister Rou looked at Ye Luo with a smile.

"Sister, you are so kind. Come on, give me a kiss."

Ye Luo held Tang Rou's little hand with one hand, and the other hand wrapped around Tang Rou's slim waist without any explanation. With a slight force, he picked her up from her chair, and then hugged her to Ye Luo himself. in his arms.

Sister Rou sat sideways on Ye Luo's lap and pushed him gently, "I haven't finished eating yet..."

Ye Luo didn't reply and kissed her pretty face.

……

The next day.

In Ye Luo's office.

"Ah? Did you really invite Tang Rou here?"

Shang Xuejun looked shocked. He extremely suspected that Ye Luo was taking advantage of him for fun.

"No, didn't you tell me two days ago to find an actor based on Tang Rou's appearance? Why did you invite me here?" Director Shang was a little confused.

Ye Luo was smoking a cigarette. He glanced at Shang Xuejun and said quietly: "I didn't ask you to find an actor like Tang Rou. That's what you said."

"Ah? Yes, really?"

Director Shang recalled it and found that it seemed that he really said these words himself.

"Okay, stop talking about these unnecessary things." Ye Luo said, "Get a contract for one million per episode."

Ye Luo spoke calmly, but what Director Shang heard was frightening.

One million episodes!
  This is also the top level in the entertainment industry!

Director Shang has read the script. This drama has 50 episodes. In other words, Tang Rou earned a net salary of [-] million for this movie!
  This is so scary!
  This would be reasonable in the film industry. But in the circle of TV dramas, this number is not unusually high.

"Director Ye, can this salary still be discussed?"

Director Shang really felt that the salary was too high. Although Tang Rou was not an ordinary star, the price should be negotiable, right?

Director Shang had just arrived and had not been with Ye Luo for a long time. He didn't know much about Ye Luo himself. He didn't know anything about the relationship between Ye Luo and Tang Rou. Otherwise, he would never say such a thing.

Ye Luodao didn't have any special reaction. He just analyzed it normally: "One million is indeed a lot, but it also depends on who gets the score. What is the identity of Queen Tang? She is the number one person in the music industry today, and she has never acted in a TV series. , it would be great if we could hire her. This is because of the personal relationship between me and her, so she came to help us. Do you think they lack this kind of salary? Try another crew, let alone one million. You only have [-] million or [-] million, can you hire her? Besides, this is not the first of our group. There are so many traffic stars in the TV industry, are there any higher than this?"

To be honest, Ye Luo just wanted to get it together, otherwise he would still want to increase the price.

Seeing Ye Luo say this, Director Shang shut up knowingly.

At best he was suggesting.

Ye Luo is the leader. Besides, the music channel paid for it, so it's not his turn to worry about it.

Moreover, what Ye Luo said did make sense.

If Tang Rou could be hired for one million per episode, then I don't know how many crew members would be begging Tang Rou for the money.

"By the way, the male protagonist hasn't been chosen yet, right?" Ye Luo asked again.

"Well, I interviewed a lot of actors, but I always felt that it was not interesting." Director Shang looked at Ye Luo a little embarrassed. He couldn't find a suitable female lead, and he couldn't find a male lead either. This shows that he is somewhat incompetent as a director.

"It's okay. It's not your fault. The role of Xu Xian is really not easy to grasp."

Ye Luo said: "In this way, you try to choose from among the actresses."

"OK?"

Shang Xuejun suspected that he heard wrongly, "Choose from, from among the actresses?"

"Ah."

"Director Ye, this..."

"Questions?"

"No, no."

Shang Xuejun swallowed. Although he said this, he was complaining crazily in his heart.

Questions?

This is a big problem, okay?

Choose the male lead from among the actresses?
  I've been in the entertainment industry for so long, and I've never heard of such an outrageous operation!

Shang Xuejun is now extremely doubtful. Did he make the wrong choice when he chose to follow Ye Luo?

Is this Director Ye completely inflated after experiencing the huge success of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
  When I was arranging "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, I didn't think he was so outrageous!
  This is a musical TV series, a singer with no acting experience as the heroine, and a male lead from among actresses... This is simply messing around!

Shang Xuejun feels that if this continues, "The Legend of White Snake" will wipe out the music channel's losses!
