Living on the street, the real daughter became popular by relying on dog blood drama

Chapter 184 Official Launch

"The Legend of Concubine Xi in the Harem" and Gu Yanlin's "The Legend of Wanqing" selected actors at the same time. Anyone with a discerning eye in the industry can see that they are fighting in the ring.

If you choose "The Legend of Wan Qing", you will offend Shang Lu.

Choosing "The Legend of Concubine Xi in the Harem" offended Gu Yanlin.

It was quite a headache for some actors in the circle who were not considered heads.

But the real capable actors, who don't lack for filming, are naturally not afraid of offending people.

As for the real newcomers, it doesn't matter to offend others, since they don't know anyone anyway.

For Shang Lu's signboard, there are still many people who want to act in "The Legend of Concubine Xi in the Harem".

Coupled with the friendly support of the "harem group" and the newly signed actors of Sunshine Film and Television, finally Shang Lu also chose the right candidate.

But in the end, the heroine still didn't choose a newcomer. After all, Concubine Xi's age span is relatively large, and it is difficult for a newcomer to control.

The final candidate was Xu Xiao, the actor who Shang Lu took a fancy to when he handed in his resume early.

Xu Xiao is 29 years old this year and has been in the industry for more than ten years.

At first, she was a child star, and she played many leading roles when she was a child. Later, she acted as the leading role. The popularity of the show was quite high, and she also made a smooth transition.

It's just that she married an outsider at a young age, and she just gave birth to a daughter last year, and she is still resting.

Shang Lu wanted to ask her to act in her own play before, but was declined.

After all, Xu Xiao hadn't recovered yet.

Now that Shang Lu's new drama is being prepared, Xu Xiao contacted Shang Lu early on, wanting to play a role.

When she received the news that she would play the heroine, she was a little surprised.

The entertainment industry is changing so fast, her marriage and childbirth have been delayed for two years, only one work has been broadcast, and her popularity has declined. She is also mentally prepared.

But she didn't expect that Shang Lu would so decisively choose her as the heroine.

After all, she has also heard that Shang Lu's dramas are very popular now, and many female actors are vying for them.

Shang Lu simply invited her to his home and had a good talk with her about the script.

As the only protagonist in the whole play, Concubine Xi's life is very complicated, and she has to talk to the actors face to face.

This is also the first time Shang Lu invited an actor to her home.

Xu Xiao didn't come alone this time, she also brought her husband with her.

It is said that her husband felt guilty for delaying his wife's career, so he followed.

Shang Lu simply called Tan Le over, otherwise he would definitely be uncomfortable with just the other man.

One Saturday afternoon, Xu Xiao and her husband came to Shang Lu's house.

Shang Lu warmly received them.

This was also the first time the two met, and it was also the first time Shang Lu saw Xu Xiao in person.

To be honest, in reality, Xu Xiao is not considered a big beauty, at most she can be regarded as having exquisite facial features and relatively comely appearance.

It's just that she has an affinity with her, and she is born with audiences.

What's more, the face is photogenic.

And Xu Xiao's husband looks average, but Shang Lu can vaguely guess that this man should be a businessman, or that kind of Confucian businessman, full of bookishness.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Xiao showed his eloquent character.

"Director Shang, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful and talented. It's a good thing you didn't come to be an actor. Otherwise, what else would we do?"

Xu Xiao boasted fiercely to Shang Lu, and even boasted sincerely and not perfunctorily, she was simply a social master.

The husband next to him didn't say a word, just laughed there, looking like a social fear instead.

This is completely different from Shang Lu's imagination, and the contrast is too great.

Fortunately, Shang Lu's house is big enough, and there is a special computer room with various games designed by Tan Le for him to come and play.

Now, the two men went to the computer room, and Xu Xiao and Shang Lu started talking about business.

"I read the script you gave me before. What about the role of Concubine Xi? It's not what I imagined."

When Xu Xiao talked about the role, her attitude became very rigorous.

"What's the difference? Does it mean she's miserable?"

Xu Xiao nodded, "At first, I thought that this was the kind of protagonist who had a smooth journey, but after reading this script, I was not happy at all. Even if she won in the end, I also felt that this is not what she wanted. of."

What Shang Lu gave her was only a rough script, only the first ten episodes were more detailed, and the latter was the outline, only writing the ending of the characters.

But she didn't expect that Xu Xiao was so keen that she could see the core of the play.

"This story is not a purely cool drama. Now it seems that you are the most suitable for this role."

Shang Lu got a little excited while talking, "Wait, I'll show you something."

She came to her workshop and took out the biography of Concubine Xi.

At this time Xu Xiao hadn't signed a contract yet, logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't be given out casually.

But Shang Lu doesn't care about these things, it's rare to meet someone who can talk about it, so he must give him good treatment.

"Look, this is a short biography I wrote. You can take it home and read more. If you have any comments, you can also communicate more."

Looking at the biography in her hand, Xu Xiao felt a little complicated in her heart.

Shang Lu also took out her own hand-painted sub-shots, "After seeing you in real life, I think I can add something more. When you take a photo with makeup, we can discuss it again. Clothing is very important in this drama. "

Speaking of this, she still looked up with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I have hired a costume master this time, and the effect of the shooting will definitely be amazing."

Speaking of these, Shang Lu was eloquent, and Xu Xiao couldn't interject for a while.

Before they knew it, the two chatted until the evening.

And Tan Le in the next room thought about all the topics he could think of in his life, and finally waited until it was time to eat.

The nanny aunt cooked for them, and Lily went home to visit relatives and was away, so there were only four of them eating.

"Sorry, I don't drink much, and I don't have alcohol at home. I only have some drinks. Let's make do."

Xu Xiao quickly waved her hand, "Coincidentally, I don't like drinking too much. I couldn't help it before, but now, I can't drink either. My wife is also allergic to alcohol and can't drink."

Great, found another common ground.

When Xu Xiao and the others were about to leave, she couldn't help asking Shang Lu a question, "Director Shang, I actually know that there are many people who want to play your heroine, and you have worked with many actresses before, but why must it be me?" Woolen cloth?"

Shang Lu seems to have heard this question many times.

"Because you are suitable, this reason is enough."

What appeal, commercial value, these are not within the scope of Shang Lu's consideration.

When she chooses a role, she only considers whether it is suitable or not.

"After meeting today, I am more sure that you are suitable for this role, so play well, and she will surprise you."

Xu Xiao took a deep breath, "Okay, business director, see you later."

After seeing off Xu Xiao, Tan Le didn't stay long.

And the preparatory work of the TV series is advancing little by little like this, in an orderly manner.

And "The Legend of Wan Qing" has already started, Yan Ranran is undoubtedly the heroine, and there are many capable actresses who will play supporting roles for her.

"The Legend of the Concubine Xi in the Harem" was not rushed, and it was shot everywhere, and finally on a very ordinary day in July, it was turned on.
