China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 72 Shuiyuedongtian
When Zhang Nanyi walked into the private room with Liu Yifei, there were two middle-aged men sitting inside. One of them was relatively dark and thin, with very delicate eyebrows, but a bit of a protruding mouth. He had a typical appearance from Guangdong and Guangxi. He was Hong Kong director Liang Guoguan. .

The other person is fat, has a round face, big ears, and a bit long earlobes. He has the appearance of Maitreya Buddha, always smiling.

Seeing Zhang Nanyi come in, he stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang! I am Lin Zheng, the vice president of Hainan Zhouyi, and this is director Liang Guoguan."

Zhang Nanyi immediately reached out and shook Lin Zheng's hand: "Hello, Mr. Lin, nice to meet you."

Then he said hello to Liang Guoguan and introduced Liu Yifei to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. Concubine Yi is a good friend of mine. We happened to drop by so we came over together. I apologize for any rudeness!"

Lin Zheng was in the industry and of course knew Liu Yifei, who was already somewhat famous. He said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. Originally, it was just us three grown men tonight, so it was very monotonous.

Now that there is a beautiful woman, the atmosphere is much better! "

Everyone laughed and revealed the matter.

In fact, Zhang Nanyi came to this dinner out of curiosity.

Zhou Yi Film and Television is now at its peak in China. Since 2000, it has successively produced "Qingcheng Juelian", "Li Wei is an Official", "Love Through Time and Space", "Martial Arts", "Young King", " "Xiao Shiyilang" and many other classic works are all popular and popular TV series.

Their vice president Lin Zheng got his phone number through Zhang Jizong, invited him to dinner many times, and said that he would be invited to star in the TV series Shuiyuedongtian that Zhou Yi was preparing to film. Judging from his tone, it was still a very important role.

Zhang Nanyi was very curious as to why they were looking for him.

The fantasy martial arts drama Shuiyuedongtian can be said to be Zhou Yi's peak work, and it was also Zhang Nanyi's childhood drama. He is very interested in it.

However, Zhou Yi has his own contracted artists, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin, known as Zhou Yi's three treasures. After playing the role of Shuiyue Cave Queen, they are also nicknamed the Third Young Master of the Tong Family.

With these three people present, Zhou Yi's TV series will definitely give priority to choosing one of them as the protagonist.

In Zhang Nanyi's case, because of the existence of the protagonist panel, he refused to play supporting roles.

I came to this dinner just out of curiosity about what Zhou Yi was thinking. Zhang Nanyi had a relatively indifferent attitude, so he took Liu Yifei with him.

Lin Zheng seemed to feel Zhang Nanyi's attitude. He did not beat around the bush, but said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, I told you on the phone before.

Our company is currently preparing for the TV series Shuiyuedongtian. This time we invite you to come because we want you to play the role of Tong Bo, the male lead in the series. "

Zhang Nanyi was very surprised when he heard what Lin Zheng said. How could he be cast as the leading actor?

He took a sip of tea to calm down, and asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Lin, as far as I know, your company has several male actors under contract, three of whom are from martial arts. Why do you want me to act?" Protagonist?"

Zhou Yi Sanbao, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin are all considered very smart people in the circle.

After Yu Bo became popular, he bought two courtyard houses in Yanjing, and directly achieved financial freedom with this investment. Yang Junyi retired from the industry to become a martial arts coach, and also trained a world champion and became the secretary-general of the Wuxi City Martial Arts Association.

Zhang Jin, on the other hand, became acquainted with Cai Shaofen because of Shuiyue Dongtian, and later followed the Queen in Hong Kong circles. He has performed brilliantly in many movies such as The Grandmaster and Sha Po Lang 2.

After Zhang Jin became famous, many people dug up his grave and complained about him, saying that Zhou Yi Film and Television treated Zhang Jin unfairly, always praising Yu Bo and Yang Junyi, and always making Zhang Jin a martial artist and a stand-in.

But thinking about it actually, Zhang Jin is indeed inferior to Yu Bo and Yang Junyi in appearance.

Even in kung fu fighting, Yu Bo is a bodyguard, Yang Junyi is a martial arts coach, and Zhang Jin is no different. It is normal that he cannot get resources.

But the male lead of Shuiyuedongtian was not played by his contracted actor, but Zhang Nanyi. Even if Zhou Yi was mentally retarded, he probably wouldn't be able to do this, so Zhang Nanyi had this question.

A rare wry smile appeared on Lin Zheng's Maitreya-like face. He looked at Liu Yifei, hesitated, and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, I won't hide it from you. In fact, regarding the casting of Tong Bo, the company initially chose Mr. Jiang is very satisfied with the aftermath. But Mr. Zhou has some objections to this casting.

Director Liang and I felt uncomfortable being caught in the middle, so we thought of a way and found you. "

Zhang Nanyi also learned about Zhouyi Film and Television before attending the banquet.

This company is also a family-run company, and its bosses are Zhou Yi and Jiang Xueyuan.

Zhou Yi first started his career as a tycoon, introducing dramas from the Wan Dao to the mainland and selling mainland dramas to the Wan Dao. Later, he expanded the scope of introduction to Japan, Europe and the United States. The earliest rice drama in China was promoted by Zhou Yi. It was Zhou Yi's work that introduced Doraemon from Japan to the mainland.

Zhou Yi's lover Jiang Xueruo is also a talented woman. She has been a magazine boss and is very skillful and capable. She is basically the producer of Zhou Yi's TV series, and she has a good relationship with Zhou Yi's ace screenwriter Chen Manlin. He also has a great say in the company.

The two couples got into an argument over their roles, which made Lin Zheng, a wage earner, really uncomfortable.

After hearing Lin Zheng's words, Liang Guoguan kept drinking tea silently without saying a word, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Just as the waiter started serving the dishes, Lin Zheng stopped talking.

When the food and wine were served, Lin Zheng asked everyone to raise their glasses and use chopsticks. After two rounds of drinks, he continued: "I just said that President Jiang wanted Yu Bo to play Tong Bo, but President Zhou disagreed.

While we were in a stalemate, Director Liang and I accidentally saw Mr. Zhang's appearance as Duan Yu and felt that he was tall, handsome, gentle and elegant, which fit the image of Tong Bo very well.

So we made a suggestion to Mr. Zhou, that you should play the role of Tong Bo.

Isn't your company planning to film the TV series Legend of Sword and Fairy recently? Please help Yu Bo arrange an important role in this drama.

Preferably the second male lead. "

This is an exchange of resources. On the surface, Zhouyi Film and Television is losing money. The male lead is replaced by the second male lead. However, Zhouyi Film and Television has internal conflicts between husband and wife. This can resolve the conflict, which is also a coup.

It is said that the male protagonist of Shuiyuedongtian is a very good resource. This drama has very good reputation and ratings.

But Zhang Nanyi was a little hesitant, mainly because although Lin Zheng didn't say it clearly, Zhang Nanyi still heard something was fishy.

Yu Bo, a tall, handsome actor with a good figure, was going to produce a drama by Zhouyi Film and Television. The female boss of the company appointed him to play the male lead. The male boss disagreed and wanted to replace Yu Bo with a drama from another company.

Isn't this because the male boss suspects that the female boss has an affair with a male artist in the company?

Thinking back to the food-feeding incident that was rumored a few years later, the protagonists were Yu Bo and Jiang Xuezhen. Although the truth of the incident is not known, it is probably false.

But after this incident, Zhou Yi and Jiang Xuezhen divorced, which caused the already declining Zhou Yi Film and Television to disappear. This is also a fact.

Although Zhang Nanyi admires the TV series produced by Zhou Yi Film and Television, and once regretted the swan song of Seven Weapons, he doesn't want to get involved in this kind of shabby family affairs.

He said: "Mr. Lin, I don't have a schedule. I will start shooting Fairy Sword in March. I expect to shoot another movie in early June. The schedule will be at least after August."

Lin Zheng still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it's August, our drama has just started preparations, and the script only has a skeleton.

The actor's role has not been decided yet. "

Zhang Nanyi also knows how to do Tai Chi: "Since it's not decided yet, let's wait until August. I can't say for sure what will happen in half a year.

Maybe after some time, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jiang of your company will come to an agreement and be willing to let Yu Bo play the male lead. "
