I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 174 Rectify My Name
After handing the key and access card to the new house to Zhou Jixian, Zhou Dingran returned to school and continued to discuss "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Young You" and the latest script "Hachi the Dog" with his teacher Chen Daozhou.

Especially for "The Loyal Dog Hachigong", Chen Daozhou also specially praised the name "Hachigong".

In the script, the male protagonist Li Wei named his pet dog "Xiaoba". Later, people heard the story of Xiaoba. In order to express their gratitude to this loyal dog, they gave him the honorific title "Hachigong". .

"Gong" has been an honorific title in China since ancient times. It is a title for the elderly and scholars.

This is also the reason why Zhou Dingran did not change the title of "Eight Gong". The original script belonged to the Neon Kingdom, and honorific titles like "Eight Gong" were just Neon's application of what he learned after learning ancient Chinese culture. To this day, Neon Most of the ancient buildings in Hong also retain the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, including ideas, culture, etc., which have the shadow of ancient China.

"I like the script "Hachi the Dog" very much. If you confirm that I will play Li Wei, then I will be disrespectful."

Chen Daozhou looked at Zhou Dingran with eyes filled with relief: "Magic Film and Television has also read the script, and they are willing to invest in the script, so if nothing else happens, "Hachi the Dog" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be available before the end of the year. After the filming is completed, as for "Young You", Majin Film and Television is also very interested, but it may have to wait until next year to start filming."

Zhou Dingran smiled and said: "I will follow the teacher's arrangements."

"One more thing, the role of the male protagonist in "Shounen's Dog" requires you to audition for it."

Chen Daozhou said: "Your main competitor is Yao Yuan, a very popular young actor in the past two years with very good acting skills, but I believe in your ability, not to mention, if you finish "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" with Wang Sheng, If Wang Sheng is satisfied with your acting skills, I believe it will be natural for you to win the male lead in "Young You"."

Zhou Dingran asked: "Are you sure Director Wang is going to film "Young You"?"

Chen Daozhou nodded and said: "I'm sure, Wang Sheng likes this script very much. He even wants to start filming "Young You" at the end of this year. However, Devil Films is not worried about it and first let him direct "Legend of Sword and Fairy". If the commercialization is successful enough, we will start filming "Youth" immediately."

Zhou Dingran pondered for a moment. He was actually determined to win the role of the male protagonist in "Young You", but now Majin Film and Television is not very confident about his appearance and insists on having another competitor audition with him. Although Zhou Dingran is confident, who can Can you ensure that there are any relevant interest transactions behind the scenes?When the role slips from your hands, wouldn’t it mean that you are making a wedding dress for others?

You know, Zhou Dingran wants to win an award for the drama "Young You". Even if he is not the best actor, he still has to win the best newcomer.

Therefore, after Zhou Dingran thought for a while, he said: "If the male protagonist is not me, teacher, I will not sell the copyright of the script "Young You"."

"Not for sale?" Chen Daozhou was surprised.

Zhou Dingran nodded and said, "I won't sell it anymore. I'll keep it for myself. When I save enough money, I'll shoot it myself."

Chen Daozhou couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't worry, this role is probably yours. No matter how popular Yao Yuan is or how great his acting skills are, he still won't be able to join the cast without the director's nod. And who is the director? Wang Sheng! He is very optimistic about you. "

"Furthermore, although Yao Yuan's acting skills are good, in my opinion, you are more suitable for the role of Xiaobei, whether it is age, appearance or acting skills, etc."

Chen Daozhou smiled and said: "And you are also a screenwriter, so you understand the role of Xiaobei better. Of course, everything has accidents. If you don't play the leading role in the end, then the teacher will owe you once. No matter what movies you make in the future, no matter how much investment you need, All the teachers will protect you."

"The teacher is serious."

Zhou Dingran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He still respected Chen Daozhou, so he nodded and said, "I will follow the teacher's arrangements."

Chen Daozhou nodded and said: "The crew of "Fairy Sword" has been established, and the filming location is still in Hengdian. As for the filming part of Xianling Island, it is arranged in Xiandu Scenic Area. The relevant staff will inform you of the specific details. By the way, now The crew is currently casting, apart from Wang Ke and Tao Chunsheng who you recommended, are there any other suitable candidates?"

"Just the two of them." Zhou Dingran said.

"Well, for the heroine Zhao Ling'er, my current suggestion is Zhang Wei. She is a freshman in our school's photography department. She has just finished filming a costume drama directed by Song Xincheng. She will transfer to our acting department after the year."

Chen Daozhou said: "She just finished filming a new drama two days ago. I will contact her later and ask her what she thinks."

"Teacher, besides Zhao Ling'er, Hong Shaorong is also good. Her appearance and temperament are my reference for writing the character of Zhao Ling'er."

Zhou Dingran said in a strange way: "Although I am very unhappy with Tianmang, if you want the work to have better results, maybe Hong Shaorong is more suitable for the role of Zhao Ling'er."

"I understand what you mean, but you also know that Hong Shaorong is a newcomer that Tianmang highly recommends. For her debut role, the salary will definitely be high."

Chen Daozhou said: "Demon Films fully covers the post-production of "Sword of Sword", plus the remuneration of other characters, 8000 million is already a bit stretched. If Hong Shaorong is recruited, the investment amount is estimated to exceed [-] million."

"If the pay is too high, forget it." Zhou Dingran said with a smile.

The main reason why the drama "Sword and Fairy" became popular all over the country was due to the role of the heroine Liu Yifei in playing Zhao Ling'er. Although before this, Liu Yifei had already appeared in "The Golden Family" and "Dragon" and achieved good success. results, but it was the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that really took off.

Through this drama, Liu Yifei accumulated a lot of popularity, and like Hu Ge, who played the leading role, she rose to prominence from then on.

And without the help of two actors, Liu Yifei and Hu Ge, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" would not have become popular all over the country just relying on the power of game fans.

Zhou Dingran claims that he is not much worse than Hu Ge.

Therefore, the choice of the heroine is very important.

Zhang Wei is indeed very suitable for ancient costumes. She looks fairy-like, but the key is that she lacks some aura, and these auras are obvious in Hong Shaorong. Hong Shaorong, who is just over 1.7 meters tall, is even taller than Hong Shaorong, who is only 1.6 meters tall. Zhang Wei, who is four, looks even more outstanding in the camera.

"I will give your suggestions back to the crew."

Chen Daozhou nodded seriously, "You should also prepare yourself. In a week, you will go to Hengdian with Tao Chunsheng and others."

After two hours of discussion, Zhou Dingran walked out of Chen Daozhou's office. After returning to the dormitory, Zhou Dingran told Wang Ke and Tao Chunsheng the news. Both of them were very happy. In addition to professional knowledge, practice is more important for actors. If there is only theory but no practical effect, it can only be talk on paper.

Therefore, Wang Ke and Tao Chunsheng were very happy to follow Zhou Dingran to Hengdian for filming.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Daozhou also made a point of contacting Zhang Wei, a freshman in the Department of Photography who had just returned to school, and asked if she had any idea of ​​participating in the female lead role in "Sword and Fairy".

She has just finished starring in director Song Xincheng's new drama. Although Zhang Wei is a freshman, she is quite high-spirited and has been enthusiastically sought after and noticed by many people as soon as she returned to school.

Starting out as a female lead in a great director's new film, Zhang Wei's future prospects are obviously limitless.

After receiving the call from Chen Daozhou, Zhang Wei was also surprised. After all, the other party was a well-known actor. No matter how high-spirited she was, she knew how to restrain herself. After learning the other party's intention, she asked: "Teacher Chen, who is the director of this play?" "

"Wang Sheng." "Wang Sheng..." Zhang Wei obviously had never heard of Wang Sheng's name. She tapped the screen with her fingers and quickly found Wang Sheng's relevant information. It turned out that the other party was mainly filming. It was a realistic genre, and Zhang Wei suddenly wanted to give up.

Song Xincheng taught her on the crew not to take roles carelessly. The most important thing now is to polish her acting skills. Life is long. After Song Xincheng's new drama is aired, there will be many excellent scripts waiting for her to choose from.

"Who is the male protagonist?" Zhang Wei still felt a little unwilling to give up, so she asked again.

Chen Daozhou said: "The male protagonist is Zhou Dingran, a student in the performance department of our school."

When Zhang Wei heard Zhou Dingran's name, her heart suddenly dropped, and she was already condemning this drama to death.

Zhou Dingran is a traffic idol, and what else does a traffic idol have besides traffic?
Acting?
What acting skills do the sophomores have?

Zhang Wei shook her head secretly. She knew that Zhou Dingran was somewhat popular recently, but after all, if she didn't follow those, the content she knew was limited. She only knew that he was currently live streaming on Douyin and had released several new songs, with good results.

As for Zhou Dingran's acting clip that became popular all over the Internet a long time ago, Zhang Wei has not seen it, and even if she has seen it, she has no impression of it. After all, she stayed in the crew during that time and rarely contacted the outside world.

"The script of this drama is very good. If you are interested in taking this role, I can send you the script first."

As soon as Chen Daozhou finished saying this, he heard Zhang Wei say: "I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, I just finished filming a new drama directed by Song Xincheng. I am currently exhausted both physically and mentally. I want to take a break and focus on my studies, so..."

"Understood, but are you sure you don't want to read the script?"

"I won't watch anymore. Thank you, Teacher Chen, for taking care of me."

Hearing these words, Chen Daozhou was still a little confused. In his opinion, not to mention that Zhang Wei had just played the heroine in a movie. Even if she had won the title of actress now, out of professional habits, she should read the new script. Bar?
Aren't you afraid of a lost pearl?
Fine!The newcomers now...

Chen Daozhou was a little emotional, and then he crossed out Zhang Wei's name in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he called the staff of Tianmang Media and obtained the contact information of Hong Shaorong's agent Chen Fengdan, and then he Inform of your intention.

Chen Fengdan was also shocked when she heard Chen Daozhou's name. Unlike Zhang Wei, who was just starting out and didn't know anything, she knew the weight that Chen Daozhou's name represented in the industry.

Even if the script the other party brought was a piece of shit, she didn't dare to refuse it directly. After flattering him, she immediately took the script sent by Chen Daozhou and quickly headed to the general manager's office.

Soon after, general manager Xiong Zhenghua looked at the script in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"The director is Wang Sheng? The actor is Zhou Dingran? What does Chen Daozhou mean?"

Xiong Zhenghua was confused. Who in the entire entertainment industry didn't know that Zhou Dingran was kicked out of the company by Tianmang. The grudge between the two parties was enough to write an entertainment novel. But now Chen Daozhou sent a script inexplicably and named the person who wanted to do it. Let Hong Shaorong be the heroine?

"Is this what Zhou Dingran meant? He wants to turn conflicts into friendship?" Chen Fengdan carefully put forward his guess.

Xiong Zhenghua glanced at her but said nothing.

In fact, he had this idea just now, but it quickly disappeared.

After all, Zhou Dingran has now signed a new company, and his career development can be said to be in full swing. Not only has he become famous in the music industry, but he is also prosperous in the live broadcast industry. His popularity in Douyin live broadcasts ranks among the top three on all platforms. .

This alone is enough for Zhou Dingran to have enough food and clothing, and his future is unlimited.

But what now?This kid actually wants to enter the film and television industry?

While he was thinking, Chen Fengdan said disdainfully: "They actually want Shao Rong to be the heroine. Are they dreaming?"

Xiong Zhenghua looked up at her again, but still didn't speak.

Chen Fengdan seemed to feel that she understood the company's position and said again: "I watched this drama to take advantage of Shao Rong's popularity. After all, Shao Rong has not yet handed over her debut film, and the outside world is looking forward to it... I understand. , Zhou Dingran is crazy about being popular, he actually asked his teacher to persuade us, it is simply a fool’s dream!”

Xiong Zhenghua looked at her and said, "Can you go out?"

"What?" Chen Fengdan was dumbfounded.

Xiong Zhenghua paused and then said, "Go and call Hong Shaorong."

Chen Fengdan said oh twice, then quickly closed the door and left. She was also broken into a cold sweat on the way. She thought she had guessed what she meant, but she didn't expect that she was overthinking.

"Is it possible that you really want Shao Rong to act in this drama?"

Chen Fengdan was confused, but her steps were faster.

On the way, she met Huo Jingquan, the manager of the Miracle Boys, and saw Crown Prince Huang Boran beside her. Just as she was about to say hello, she heard Huang Boran suddenly raise his voice and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Did Zhou Dingran participate in this show?"

"According to the information I got, yes." Huo Jingquan nodded.

"Then I will also participate." Huang Boran's face flashed with excitement: "This is a great opportunity to clear my name!"

What program are you participating in?
Chen Fengdan was curious, but he didn't stop and walked straight towards the practice room.

"I don't answer the phone, and I don't know if Shao Rong is in the practice room? Hey, it's most likely, this kid is too hardworking!"

……

On the other hand, Zhou Dingran also began to prepare for his trip to Hengdian. There is a direct high-speed rail link between Hengdian and Peiping, making it very convenient to go back and forth. Therefore, Zhou Dingran did not give up the job of live broadcasting twice a week.

In addition, his agent Liu Ruyan also arranged four variety shows for him.

But now it seems that there is no time to take care of it, but one of the music variety shows "Chinese Singer-Songwriter" that I have signed is already confirmed and must be recorded.
