Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 22: Snacks, D, and Actor Selection
A moment later, the agent came over and found Liu Shishi alone.

"Where's Director Zhou?"

"He won't go. He said he has something to do."

The agent frowned: "Why isn't he coming? Shishi, maybe you didn't explain it to him clearly."

Liu Shishi shook her head: "I have said everything I should say, and he said he will definitely do it next time."

"Next time, there are so many next times already, when will it end? Shishi, you have to seize this opportunity. Since you have the film resources, finalize it as soon as possible. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Liu Shishi actually felt a little guilty, but Zhou Mo had already walked away, so she could only be tough: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Seeing this, the agent supported Liu Shishi's shoulders.

"Shishi, tell me the truth. You guys were in the room for so long that day... Director Zhou doesn't intend to take responsibility?"

Liu Shishi was shocked and quickly covered the other person's mouth: "What are you talking about? We didn't do anything."

Agent: "Really? I don't believe it."

"Really, look into my eyes."

"There's not even a light in your eyes."

Liu Shishi stamped her feet in anger.

The agent coaxed her into submission and asked, "So what on earth did you guys do that day?"

Liu Shishi: “Just took some photos.”

"What the hell!" the agent was shocked.

Liu Shishi looked at her agent's panicked face and realized the misunderstanding in her words. She immediately explained, "It's not Mr. Chen's. It's some stills for subsequent publicity.

I'm not a fool, why would I agree to take that kind of photo?"

The agent felt very tired.

Even so, the silly girl still says she is not silly.

Are you really not stupid enough to go and take photos with others by yourself?
What do others think when a man and a woman are alone in a room?
"Hey, please be more careful."

Liu Shishi comforted her: "Don't worry, I will protect myself."

The agent was helpless: "I only have one request, that he keep those photos safe and not let them leak out."

Liu Shishi said angrily in a baby voice: "I'll tell you one last time, nothing really happened between him and me, he took the photos to promote them on his video website."

The agent was stunned: "Video website?"

……

Zhu Yilong was stunned: "Video website, you have your own video website?"

"Yes, it's Mile Station. If you surf the Internet frequently, you should have heard of the name Mile Station."

Zhu Yilong is an old 2D artist.

As soon as I heard the name of the station, I was definitely excited.

"Then you have to watch more good anime in the future. I'm telling you, you must inform me before watching them, and I will check them carefully for you. When I was in college, I was known for watching countless anime. Most people can't watch as many anime as I do. My nickname is anime expert."

Zhou Mo had an expression of “Just you?” on his face.

"You watch a lot of anime? Maybe erotic anime."

Zhu Yilong was angry.

He wants to prove himself.

"You know Naruto, I know the identity of that masked man."

Zhou Mo didn't take it too seriously.

"Naruto" is very popular, and many viewers have speculated about the identity of the masked man.

Most people in the market think that the masked man is a newly created character.

A few people who have studied comics in depth, such as the fan authors on Qidian, would connect the masked man's time and space ninjutsu with the yellow flashing Flying Thunder God in "The Eight Colors of Konoha".

Believe that the masked man is Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze was betrayed by the Third Hokage, so he hid his identity and prepared to take revenge on the ninja world.

Zhou Mo guessed that Zhu Yillong also belonged to this hexagram.

"So who is the masked man?"

"The masked man's true identity is Uchiha Obito, the disciple of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze."

This time, Zhou Mo was shocked.

"The masked man is Uchiha Obito. How did you find out?"

Zhu Yilong said proudly: "You don't understand, right? You have to look at it from the Yingzhou dialect. The masked man's name is exactly the opposite of Obito's name. Add in the Sharingan and Kakashi on his left and right. I am sure he is Uchiha Obito."

After listening to the analysis, Zhou Mo said with emotion:
"Brilliant."

He looked down on all the heroes in the world.

Zhu Yillong looked at Zhou Mo's shocked expression, feeling satisfied, and brought up another topic.

"Then do you know the relationship between the Third Hokage and Danzo?" Zhou Mo recalled the classic dialogue he had seen in his previous life:
"Danzo, I am the Hokage."

"Hiruzen, you will regret this."

"boom."

He also became quite interested, so he simply put aside his business and started discussing the plot with Zhu Yilong.

By the time the assistant came over, the two had already talked about the beautiful story of "the love-hate relationship between the Third Hokage and Danzo".

Zhou Mo finally reacted after being called several times by his assistant.

"Okay, let's get down to business first. Come to my room in a couple of days and take some photos for future promotional purposes. It will probably take more than an hour, just like the time with Liu Shishi."

Zhu Yilong was shocked: "You mean you and Liu Shishi were in the house for more than an hour last time, and it turned out that you were taking pictures?"

Zhou Mo: "Yes, what else? Then the drama "Myth" will be the first drama of the website, and you two will become publicity ambassadors. These are all mentioned in the contract."

After listening to this, Zhu Yillong looked a little disappointed.

“It’s just taking pictures.”

Zhou Mo punched him: "What do you think it is?"

Zhu Yilong didn't say anything, but silently scanned his entire body: "That's right, an hour or something, that's too outrageous, only a virgin who has never experienced it would write that in a novel..."

"Okay, stop talking about science. I asked you to come here for two reasons. We have already filmed more than half of the literary scenes. The next ones are the war scenes. You have to prepare in advance."

Zhu Yilong patted his chest.

"Don't worry, I am your senior and I can do anything. War is no problem at all."

Zhou Mo thought so too. In his impression, this guy had ridden a horse to shoot war scenes in every stage of his life.

"Another thing is to show you your son in the play."

"which one?"

"Of course it's Ying Zheng."

Zhou Mo took him to the dormitory, opened the door, and saw two boys, one big and one small, sitting inside.

When the two boys saw someone coming, they stood up quickly.

"Hello, brother."

"Okay, sit down."

Zhou Mo took the initiative to introduce: "Chen Xingxu, Rong Zishan."

Both of them were born after 1995. The older one was born in 1996 and is fourteen this year, and the younger one was born in 2006 and is five years old this year.

Zhu Yilong quickly greeted the two of them. With his cheerful personality, he soon became friends with the two children.

Zhou Mo looked at the reactions of the three people and felt relieved.

So far, for him, the drama "The Myth" is not about solving the actors' acting problems or coordinating some plot conflicts.

Instead, they chose the actor for the role of Ying Zheng.

Throughout the play, the character of Ying Zheng has roughly three stages: the teenager in the Zhao State period, the youth in the Qin State period, and the adult after ascending the throne.

I decided to get a rich cage long before I reached adulthood.

In terms of both image and acting skills, he can be said to be the only candidate for Qin Shihuang in China.

After all, they have lived in the Terracotta Warriors all year round, and every move they make bears the characteristics of the Qin Dynasty.

However, when he began to select Qin Shihuang from the first two stages, he was in trouble.

Zhou Mo scanned the market and found that there was no suitable candidate at all.

He vaguely remembered that a young man named Weng Feiran played the role of Qin Shi Huang in a unique way, and was described by netizens as "a man born with a face that can destroy the six kingdoms."

Then, when he traced his memory to find the boy, he found that the boy had graduated from college and was older than him.

With no other choice, he could only start the auditions, and made up his mind that if things didn't work out, he would just cut out some of the scenes and not force the filming.

He would never do such a thing as letting a 40-year-old actor play the 13-year-old Ying Zheng.

outrageous.

Can you imagine a middle-aged man in his forties playing the role of the teenage Ying Zheng and saying to Lu Buwei: "If you are really my father, I would like to travel around the world with you."

"The Great Love Ode" did it.

However, when the official casting began, he was still shocked by the actors who participated in the selection.

Zhou Mo only thought of four words.

"Monsters and demons."

　The Eight Colors of Konoha are an old memory, and today’s readers may not know them.

　　Weng too, this guy was born in 88.

　　Please continue to vote and read on. Thank you all my readers.

　　There will be a little surprise in the next chapter.
