Chapter 287 Deciding on the heroine, the best Ren Yingying

The manager was helpless and didn't know why Wu Peipei went crazy, which led fans to think it was the manager's fault.

This scapegoat is too big and she can't afford it!

But with Wu Peipei's fame and status, her agent has no right to force her to take the role, and can only find ways to persuade her later.

But the opportunity will not be reserved for her.

Zhang Hongwei recommended another actress to Su Zhe - An Ling'er.

She is known as the most fairy-like actress in ancient costumes. She has many fans not only in China but also in surrounding countries.

Even Lin Shan'er used her imitation makeup, but in the end she was turned into a clown by Su Zhe...

Zhang Hongwei said excitedly:

"Su Zhe, we want to open up the sales of "The Swordsman". Costume dramas are very popular in neighboring countries! It just so happens that An Ling'er also has many fans abroad, so it will be easier to sell the drama."

Su Zhe had some doubts:

"Her temperament doesn't quite match Ren Yingying, more like Little Dragon Girl."

Zhang Hongwei said doubtfully:

"Who is Little Dragon Girl?"

Su Zhe casually said "Another notebook, not written yet" and continued to look at An Ling'er's information.

She is a child star who acted in many TV series when she was in junior high school and is known as the "national daughter".

When she grew up, she had almost no awkward period (referring to the rapid growth of child stars, their appearance changes too much and they can't find suitable roles), and she immediately starred in several popular costume dramas.

Su Zhe counted with his fingers and exclaimed:

"I (the original person) also grew up watching her TV series, but in terms of age, she is actually the same age as me."

The two are of the same age, and Su Zhe can be considered young and promising after becoming famous, but An Ling'er is actually a veteran who has been popular for 10 years.

But An Ling'er has stopped taking TV dramas in recent years and has only taken on movies, although her performance has been mediocre.

Su Zhe looked at her recent works, immediately put away the filter, and sighed:

"It's been ten years since I debuted, and my acting skills are just like this? There's no expression on my face, my lines don't fluctuate, it's all supported by my face."

In Su Zhe's opinion, An Ling'er's appearance and national popularity are better than that of a certain Fei at the peak of her previous life, but her acting skills are even better than that of her when she was young.

Maybe this is the balance.

Zhang Hongwei saw that Su Zhe was dissatisfied and urged him:

"Su Zhe, An Ling'er's acting skills are enough for TV dramas. The key is that she is beautiful! Especially in ancient costumes! And she has fans in surrounding countries. I guarantee that as long as she plays Ren Yingying, "The Swordsman" will be successful. Sold all over East and Southeast Asia!”

Su Zhe shook his head:

"Producer Zhang, I have always insisted that as long as the show is filmed well, it will not be buried. Even without An Ling'er's fans, we can sell it slowly."

What he said is the right path, but people in the industry often don't do it, otherwise celebrities wouldn't be so valuable.

Zhang Hongwei can only guarantee:

"Su Zhe, don't worry, after you see Ren Yingying played by An Ling'er, you won't choose anyone else."

Su Zhe: ...

Zhang Hongwei said the same thing when he recommended Wu Peipei before.

As expected of a producer, he just knows how to deceive.

Su Zhe reluctantly agreed:

"Then audition."

Zhang Hongwei immediately went to An Ling'er excitedly and cleverly concealed the "audition" and only said that this role "must belong to you"!

An Ling'er listened quietly, and after listening, she looked at her father, who was also her manager, An Heng.

An Heng was an elegant old handsome guy and decisively rejected Zhang Hongwei:

"Linger is now an international superstar and will no longer make TV series. We will only consider it if Teacher Su invites her to make a movie."

Zhang Hongwei was dumbfounded. He knew that An Ling'er had not filmed TV series in recent years, and he also knew that people in the industry said that her father An Heng was difficult to deal with.

But Su Zhe has become famous in the industry recently, and his creative ability has almost become a myth. Countless famous actresses want to become "Girl Su", doesn't An Heng know?

He couldn't help but remind:

"Mr. An, this is a TV series written by Su Zhe."

An Heng said politely but firmly:

"I know that he is very popular in the industry, but I'm sorry, I have my own plans for Ling'er's acting career, and "Swordsman" is not in the plan."

After all, Zhang Hongwei is also a famous producer, and he also wants to save face. He stood up angrily and said:

"Okay, we can't reach it! Goodbye!"

When he went back and complained to Su Zhe in an embellished manner, Su Zhe was not angry. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"It just so happens that her temperament doesn't quite suit Ren Yingying, but I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to cast Ren Yingying."

Not only did he not think of it, but the industry also didn’t think of it.

Su Zhe's new drama was unexpectedly rejected by Wu Peipei and An Ling'er.

Someone immediately guessed:

"Wu Peipei has very high requirements for the script, and An Heng also knows the script very well. They are not optimistic about it, which means that Su Zhe's new script is very bad."

"After all, he is good at writing modern school dramas. Suddenly he switched to writing costume dramas. Every line is like a mountain!"

"Su Zhe probably started writing costume dramas after seeing how much money they were making, but he forgot what he was good at."

There was discussion within the circle, and gossip spread outside the circle.

Some well-known gossip accounts broke the news:

[Su Zhe's new drama has been met with failure, and people in the industry are not optimistic about it. 】

The news will inevitably be distorted to a certain extent during the transmission process, so when it is spread outside the circle, it will become the case that no one in the circle is optimistic about Su Zhe's new drama.

The sugar canes quickly refuted the rumors, but they had not read the script of "The Swordsman" and could not tell any valuable information. They could only repeat "Believe in Su Zhe" over and over again.

At this time, someone else broke the news:

[Su Zhe's friend Song Xianzhong did not take over the director's position at the end of the year. He retreated at home to revise his script. He was suspected of being dissatisfied with the plot. 】

This seems to further confirm the rumors. After all, even Song Xianzhong, who has always praised Su Zhe's creative ability, is not optimistic about it. What is there to argue with?

In the era of traditional media, information is transmitted slowly, and you have to see the work before you can evaluate its quality.

But the new media era is different and can be reversed at any time due to various news.

For example, when watching football, one used to evaluate players based on their performance over the course of a season, but later it became a debate, and a failure in one game could lead to one being sent to the [-]th level of hell.

Later, the audience became more and more impatient.

So after seeing all these disturbing news, Su Zhe didn't bother to pay attention to it and just waited for the TV series to be aired.

Now he just wants to find the right Ren Yingying!

In many versions of "Swordsman", Ren Yingying is not very outstanding.

Junior sister Yue Lingshan, nun Yilin, and even some versions of Dongfang Invincible are all more attractive than Ren Yingying.

In fact, in the original work, Ren Yingying has an excellent image, with "extraordinarily beautiful appearance, incomparable beauty", generous personality, smart but restrained, and was considered by Jin Yong to be the "most ideal wife" in his works.

(Huang Rong is "the woman I like and admire the most".)

Coincidentally, Linghu Chong is also the man Jin Yong considers to be "the man he admires most" in his works.

So Su Zhe didn't want to make do with it, and made a nonexistent Ren Yingying who was not worthy of the Linghu Chong he played.

Just when he was distressed, he suddenly received a call from Cheng Lanyun:

"Mr. Su, you won't contact your old friends now that you've made a lot of money?"

"Master, look what you said!" Su Zhe said with a wry smile, "Aren't you busy casting recently?"

"I was just going to ask you, why don't you hand me the book? Do you think I'm not good at acting?"

Su Zhe was shocked when he heard Cheng Lanyun's words:

"Are you willing to make a TV series?"

Cheng Lanyun smiled:

Of course not others. “How will you know if you don’t try?”

Su Zhe was excited and immediately started thinking:

Although Cheng Lanyun is famous for her acting skills, she has an outstanding appearance. She has a girlish look and a hint of maturity. She may be the best Ren Yingying!

(Note: Cheng Lanyun’s appearance is different from Zhou Xun’s. Zhou Xun is definitely not suitable to play Ren Yingying.)

Su Zhe was very excited and quickly invited:

"Master, please come to the rescue! Come to try out?"

It stands to reason that a Grand Slam movie queen like Cheng Lanyun would never have to audition for a role. Even big directors would not dare to ask her to audition.

But Su Zhe was still unsure. After all, Cheng Lanyun was good at everything, but he was a bit old.

She is already in her thirties, while Ren Yingying is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Therefore, for the sake of the quality of the work, Su Zhe shamelessly let Cheng Lanyun audition.

Cheng Lanyun did not feel angry. Knowing that Su Zhe took his work seriously, he said cheerfully:

"Give me the entire script first and I'll prepare it."

Su Zhe was a little embarrassed:

"Master, I haven't finished writing the script yet, so I can only give you some fragments."

Cheng Lanyun:? ? ?

If it weren't for Su Zhe on the other side, she would have hung up the phone long ago.

What bothers her the most is the crew who hurriedly started filming to cheat money without polishing the script.

Su Zhe was also helpless. Because he wanted to combine the two versions of "The Swordsman", his script was a bit messy and not completely straightened out.

On the contrary, it was the original novel "The Swordsman" (triptych edition). In order to use it as a reference, he copied it on the computer first.

There are 93 words in total. Even if he copied it from memory, he almost died from exhaustion.

Su Zhe thought for a while and simply said:

"Then I'll send you the novel. You'll know who Ren Yingying is after reading it."

Cheng Lanyun was confused:

And novels?

After she received the full text of "Swordsman" from Su Zhe, she opened it and read it for a while, and suddenly felt incredible:

"Such a wonderful novel doesn't look like a script! Could it be that this is the original work of "The Swordsman" and Su Zhe just bought the IP for adaptation?"

Cheng Lanyun's first reaction was this, and he quickly checked online:

[Original novel of "The Swordsman"]

No fruit.

Check again:

[Complete works of martial arts masters]

Still can't find similar works.

Cheng Lanyun was dumbfounded:

"Is this really a novel written by Su Zhe? Is he so good at writing martial arts novels?"

Cheng Lanyun felt unbelievable. He read it carefully with his mobile phone and soon became immersed in it.

When she came out of the plot, she found that the sky was dim and it was already the next day.

"Did I stay up all night?" Cheng Lanyun asked in surprise, "How long has it been since you stayed up all night?"

As a "veteran cadre" who has always understood health care, Cheng Lanyun exclaimed, quickly put down his mobile phone, and lay on the bed trying to catch up on his sleep.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, the plot of "The Swordsman" continued to play in front of her eyes.

In front of her eyes, Su Zhe became Linghu Chong, and she was Ren Yingying, and they met and fell in love with each other.

"I'm determined to play Ren Yingying, no one can take her away from me, I said so!"

Cheng Lanyun felt confident, but couldn't help but reach out and want to continue reading "Swordsman".

"No, staying up late will affect my condition. If I don't do well in the audition, Su Zhe will really dare to bully his master and destroy his ancestors and not let me act."

Cheng Lanyun knew very well how many dogs Su Zhe had.

……

a few days later.

It was said to be an audition, but after all, we were all friends (mentors and apprentices), and it was not that formal, so it was held in Su Zhe's villa.

Cheng Lanyun walked into the villa wearing a pair of big sunglasses, looking cool and silent.

"Where are you pretending to be a master?" Su Zhe complained, "There's no need for such an iceberg, it's not like Little Dragon Girl."

Zhang Hongwei scratched his head at the side, curious:

"Who is Xiao Longnu?"

Cheng Lanyun was indifferent and still wore sunglasses indoors.

Su Zhe was speechless. After the makeup artist arrived, he urged Lan Yundun again:

"Master, if you want to put on makeup, you have to take off your sunglasses."

Cheng Lanyun then took off his sunglasses, revealing two big dark circles under his eyes, with a look of despair.

Su Zhe was shocked:

"You were beaten? Who dares to beat my master? Come on, I'll hold the show for you!"

Cheng Lanyun became angry and said:

"You were just beaten! I have a black eye! It's all your fault. Why do you write so beautifully?"

Su Zhe was stunned for a moment and laughed heartily:

"Don't tell me that you've been staying up late these days, watching "The Swordsman"?"

Cheng Lanyun covered his face in shame, while Zhang Hongwei asked from the side:

"Novel? What novel? "The Swordsman" and other novels?"

Fortunately, the makeup artist came to the rescue and put makeup on Cheng Lanyun carefully, covering up the dark circles under her eyes, and then helped her change into period clothes.

When Cheng Lanyun appeared in front of Su Zhe again, she looked like a chivalrous woman who had stepped out of a novel.

Su Zhe secretly observed his age and did not dare to mention it publicly, otherwise he would be "beaten to death."

But he didn't find any violation.

In fact, female celebrities usually pay great attention to maintenance. In addition, yellow people age slowly and have a long flowering period, so it is normal for them to play girls in their thirties.

(Xu Qing 32 plays Ren Yingying, Li Ruotong 29 plays Xiao Longnu, Alyssa Chia 29, Gigi Lai 30 plays Zhao Min, Zhou Haimei 28 plays Zhou Zhiruo... candles)

If you pass the age limit, your image will be more suitable——

Ren Yingying is very smart, but she has a reserved personality and is not as sharp as Huang Rong and Zhao Min.

Moreover, she has magnanimity and open-mindedness beyond her years, and is as indifferent to fame and fortune as Linghu Chong.

Cheng Lanyun also had this kind of temperament, smart but showy, fond of music, indifferent to fame and fortune, and had the character of a hermit.

After her audition, Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh:

"Why didn't I find you earlier? You are the best Ren Yingying!"

Cheng Lanyun didn't know the weight of this sentence.

What Su Zhe compares in his mind is Zhang Min, Guan Zhilin, Xu Qing, Liang Yiling, Anita Yuen who played Ren Yingying in her previous life...

But Cheng Lanyun also felt that Ren Yingying was a role tailor-made for her, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Why didn't you come to me earlier? I almost missed this role."

At this moment, she was extremely grateful to Wu Peipei and An Linger.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Master to be willing to accept a TV series."

Su Zhe's heart moved and he suddenly realized:

Cheng Lanyun didn't take the initiative to help him because he saw himself being ridiculed by the circle, right?

——This old master doesn’t want to eat young grass, does he?

Cheng Lanyun also suddenly realized:

Why is Ren Yingying so similar to me? Could it be that Su Zhe just copied what I wrote?

——This scoundrel is a bit brave!

Zhang Hongwei laughed loudly from the side:

"Great, the heroine has finally been decided! Let's celebrate together!"

But Su Zhe and Cheng Lanyun were both lost in thought and ignored him, their laughter echoing awkwardly in the room.

Zhang Hongwei:......

Can you respect the top producers?
