Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 199 Tang Yan: I want to fight with Da Mimi

Tang Yan also shook her head.

She looked at Zhou Mo and said something tentatively.

"No, I don't have any recommendations, but what I think is that if there is a post-85 flower to play one of the female leads, both the TV series ratings and the movie box office will be better..."

"Let those people perform, the effect will indeed be much better as you said." Zhou Mo asked back: "But the question is, who among them are you going to ask to play Bi Yao?"

Although "Zhu Xian" nominally has two female protagonists.

Lu Xueqi, Biyao.

But in fact, the gap between the two in the whole book is quite obvious.

The former is obviously more than the latter.

Lu Xueqi runs through the whole book.

However, Biyao became a vegetable before she finished half of the story.

Although in the plot, a large part of the subsequent plot is about Zhang Xiaofan trying to find out how to wake Biyao up.

Moreover, the character of Baguio is more lively and attractive.

It makes the two female characters seem to be able to compete with each other.

But the above situation is determined by the characteristics of the novel.

In a TV series, the huge amount of plot will inevitably lead to differences in ranking.

Tang Yan has been confirmed to play the role of Lu Xueqi.

If we invite another young actress to join the crew, and she can only play the role of Bi Yao, it is unlikely that other young actresses will agree.

Even Zhou Mo found it difficult to get them to agree to this.

After all, "Zhu Xian" is not a movie like "Chu and Han" that will definitely make money as long as it is filmed.

A film or TV series project adapted from a novel, coupled with possible disputes over ranking, is unnecessary for them.

In fact, a big part of the reason why she was able to readily agree to the script of "Zhu Xian" a few days ago was that Zhou Mo directly chose her as the female lead.

"The other young actresses probably won't play supporting roles. You know the reason yourself." Zhou Mo reminded.

Tang Yan seemed to have anticipated what Zhou Mo would say and spoke immediately.

"I've actually thought about it. If I could get Liu Yifei or Liu Shishi to play this role, I would rather give the role of Lu Xueqi to them and just play Bi Yao."

Zhou Mo suddenly added.

"And then you just watch them work for you as an investor?"

Tang Yan raised her chin.

"Of course."

Zhou Mo felt a little emotional when he saw this.

It turns out that people talk with their butts.

The same thing, different identities, will ultimately lead to completely different decisions.

If Tang Yan were still an actress, she would never take the initiative to give the leading female role to other young actresses and play a supporting role herself.

But when she was an investor, she said this without any hesitation.

The former is working and making money for oneself.

The latter is to be the boss and let others make money for you.

In her previous life, after Yang Mi went out on her own, she would every now and then play supporting roles for her employees.

In addition to the fact that she was banned by Chen Hong and could not get many good resources, she also wanted to pave the way for newcomers so that they could make more money for her.

But speaking of Yang Mi...

Zhou Mo suddenly realized why Da Mimi was not among the people Tang Yan mentioned.

"What about Da Mi Mi? Have you ever considered her?"

Tang Yan snorted: "Don't tell me to defend her. We are not talking now."

Zhou Mo was very curious.

This is what happened.

I haven't heard of any conflict between the two recently.

"You two...fell out again?"

Zhou Mo said "again" very naturally.

Tang Yan had long known that he was a person who would not feel comfortable unless he saw the excitement, so she explained directly: "She asked me to film a work some time ago, saying that I would be the heroine, but after I read the script, I felt it was too stupid, she was just trying to trick me."

A work?
heroine?
Zhou Mo recalled the recent news about Yang Mi.

It seems that apart from Guo Xiaowu's "Tiny Times", there are no other projects.

But I haven't heard any news about Tang Yan being invited.

Given Guo Xiaowu's personality, if he really invited Tang Yan to star in "Tiny Times".

No matter what the final outcome is.

They will all become his propaganda tools.

"Did Da Mimi invite you to film Tiny Times?"

Tang Yan shook her head, but was a little curious: "Why do you think so? Among the female characters in "Tiny Times", except for her, the other ones are not too famous, so she can sit firmly in the leading female role. If I really star in "Tiny Times", Yang Mi's position as the leading female may not be maintained."

"That's true. What movie are you talking about?"

Tang Yan explained: "It's not a movie, it's a TV series called "Diamond Lover"."

Zhou Mo: ...

He looked at the disgusted expression on Tang Yan's face.

I always feel like this scene seems familiar.

And not just once.

It's not even the same person.

So he asked tentatively: "You seem very dissatisfied with the script?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied."

Tang Yan was extremely disdainful: "You don't know how bad the script of "Diamond Lover" is. The plot is stupid, and the key is that the character of the heroine is also bad. She is very stupid and has never done anything other than secretly loving the hero... Yang Mi asked me to play this kind of role, she is simply treating me as a fool!"

Since "The Swordsman of the Qi Family", Tang Yan has fully tasted the benefits that the role of the queen has brought her.

In the past, she played the role of a silly and innocent girl.

That's because she has never eaten anything good except Zixuan.

But it is different now.

After "Qi Jia Dao", Tang Yan felt that she had a chance to become a different kind of firework. "Yang Mi still thinks that I have the same mentality as when I was in "Xia Jia San Qian Jin", but she is wrong. From today on, I will continue to improve, while she will only stay in idol works and keep spinning, and eventually be left far behind by me."

Tang Yan even brought up "Tiny Times".

"Both are adapted from novels, but Tiny Times is being compared with The Legend of Chusen."

Zhou Mo's expression was subtle.

What does Tang Yan think of this?

There is always a chance that a blind cat will catch a dead mouse.

I won’t talk about Da Mimi.

"Twenty years after debut, I still miss Xuejian" is not a joke.

As for Tang Yan.

A player who belongs to the category of surprise draw.

Every time you think this girl is wallowing in the mire of bad movies, she can actually give you some excellent performance.

But it is progress.

Not right either.

At most, it is just a return to the comfort zone.

But "Tiny Times" and "Zhu Xian"...

"I think you'd better not be too confident. Da Mimi's net worth will definitely increase after filming Tiny Times."

Tang Yan frowned: "You mean Tiny Times might perform well?"

Zhou Mo nodded.

"You have to be mentally prepared."

"But Tiny Times doesn't look like a movie that will be popular." Tang Yan made a judgment based on her own experience: "The script of Tiny Times is too bad, and although there are many characters, there are only one or two that can really prove their box office success. The director is also a newcomer..."

When Tang Yan talked about the script, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"His script is about the various things that happened to four girls from Shanghai. But as a Shanghai native, the friends and girls I've met since childhood are not at all like what he described in his novel. After reading it once, I just feel it's exaggerated."

Zhou Mo didn't respond.

Tang Yan said that the content of "Tiny Times" was not true enough.

As an indigenous person, she would never do that.

This is true.

After all, Guo Xiaowu is not from Shanghai.

The small era he described was just the magic city in his eyes.

But when Tang Yan said this, she certainly didn't expect that one day she would star in the "middle-aged version" of "Tiny Times".

All I can say is that things are unpredictable.

The large intestine wraps the small intestine.

Zhou Mo explained: "Your analysis is correct, but the content of your analysis is for ordinary movies. It is not appropriate to apply it to fan-oriented movies like Tiny Times."

"Tiny Times" is bad.

But the results are really good.

Moreover, when the movie was first released, the director had already stated that this movie was to give back to the fans.

When fans heard this, they naturally bought popcorn.

Then it created a "box office miracle".

"A fan-oriented movie?"

"That's right. You probably haven't read the original novel of Tiny Times and don't understand how fanatical Guo Xiaowu's fans are. They don't care whether the movie is bad or not. For these fans, as long as they can see Tiny Times made into a movie, it means they have no regrets about their youth and they are willing to pay for it."

hiss…

Tang Yan took a breath of cold air.

"Doesn't that mean that Zhu Xian is completely outclassed by Tiny Times?"

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true. Guo Xiaowu has a lot of bad things going on behind his back. As long as you don't compete with the first part of Tiny Times, the pressure on the second part should be much less. There's no need to rush Zhu Xian, just take your time to produce it. As long as the TV series is well shot and lays a good foundation for the movie, the final result won't be bad."

Tang Yan nodded.

A flame called the desire to win ignited in his eyes.

No matter what, she must get back the stage for "Diamond Lover".

……

Tang Yan still hadn't figured out who to look for as the other female character.

However, Zhou Mo was very satisfied with her current state.

Fighting makes people progress.

As long as Tang Yan can maintain his current momentum, he won’t have to worry about the final results when it comes time to shoot.

As for the battle between "Zhu Xian" and "Tiny Times".

There is no doubt that he definitely supports "Zhu Xian".

After all, if "Zhu Xian" wins, it will definitely allow Tang Yan to go further and further on the path of becoming a queen.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo felt that he had done a great deed.
