Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 608 The King Is Not Worthy of the King
ps: I fell asleep halfway through writing last night, sorry everyone.

It only took Zhang Songwen a short while to adjust his condition.

After the show started, he and Xu Yajun exchanged witty remarks with each other regarding the money from Dafeng Factory.

Zhao Ruilong, played by Zhang Songwen, also gradually became impatient from the initial confusion.

Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin, to put it bluntly, are just the two gloves of the Zhao family.

I'll give you two a little face and discuss this with you.

I won't give you two any face, you can do whatever you want.

Want money?

No.

The show is over.

Li Lu, Xia Donghai and Zhou Meisen all had happy looks on their faces.

This acting skill is really good.

It's already at the same level as Sun Honglei just now, but the style is slightly different.

Sun Honglei's villain is more aggressive.

Zhang Songwen's villain is even more arrogant.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people. From different perspectives, the two styles give people different feelings, but both can be explained.

The advantage of Zhang Songwen over Sun Honglei is that Zhang Songwen has never participated in any variety show, his face is relatively new and he has a sense of mystery.

Zhou Mo looked at Li Lu.

"Director Li, what do you think?"

"Very good, very good, this is how Zhao Ruilong should be."

Zhou Mo nodded. He was quite satisfied with Zhang Songwen.

Zhang Songwen’s appearance this time was indeed an unexpected surprise.

"In that case, let's decide on Zhao Ruilong." Zhou Mo made the final decision, then looked up and said to Zhang Songwen, "Teacher Zhang, the role of Zhao Ruilong belongs to you. Our crew will start working in a few days. I will tell the company to give you a holiday. You should arrange your things in the next few days."

Zhang Songwen was overjoyed and bowed to everyone.

Although since meeting Zhou Mo a few years ago, he has embarked on an alternative development path in the circle, and his development is also good.

But of course he would be happier if he had the opportunity to be on screen.

As an actor, who doesn’t want to leave his or her own classic role on the screen one day?

He is also very satisfied with the role of Zhao Ruilong.

Although his role is far less than that of Qi Tongwei, Hou Liangping, Li Dakang and others, his role is important enough and his status as the boss is significant enough.

The most important thing is to have enough golden sentences.

After working in the entertainment industry for so many years, Zhang Songwen knows too well the importance of golden quotes in film and television.

It is no exaggeration to say that many actors would rather not have a long role, but hope that their role can have one or two golden lines or classic shots.

As for Zhao Ruilong, it is more than just one or two golden sentences.

He is simply a wholesaler of golden sentences.

“No bullshit allowed.”

"Isn't it just your internal fighting?"

"I am a businessman now, and I am doing business as business."

"When the people start making a fuss, you give in without principles. Do you not want the rule of law?"

……

Zhang Songwen knew his situation and knew that he would definitely not be able to play any of the main roles in this drama.

So from the very beginning, he locked on the role of Zhao Ruilong.

Now, my wish has come true.

After Zhang Songwen left, Zhou Mo and others took a short rest.

During the interview, Li Lu said with emotion: "I have heard that Director Zhou's company has many talented people, and even a screenwriter behind the scenes may be a big shot. I thought it was someone else's praise, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Xia Donghai took a sip of water.

"Director Li, you are out of date. The message that has been circulating for the whole year is that if the crew can't find anyone to play the role, they can just go to Director Zhou's company and find someone. It doesn't matter who it is. You will definitely not be disappointed."

Zhou Mo listened to the two people's flattery and waved his hands.

"You two are exaggerating. This is just a joke."

Zhou Meisen said, "I don't think this is a joke. Just look at Zhang Songwen. He is a behind-the-scenes employee of your company, Director Zhou. He is not even a pillar. But now he has just tried this. How many actors have been killed in seconds?"

"I need to explain this. Teacher Zhang has a cooperative relationship with our company, not a superior-subordinate relationship. He is a teacher we specially invited to teach the actors. Teacher Zhou, please don't say the wrong thing outside to avoid misunderstanding." Zhou Mo corrected.

"Isn't that even more amazing? The partners of Shanhe Company are so amazing, let alone the specially trained employees, who must be even more amazing.

Director Zhou, I finally understand why you like to directly decide on the actors. When people in the circle talked about this before, I also felt that your behavior was a bit ungenerous. I apologize to you now.

This has nothing to do with the atmosphere. It's simply because you have too many people under your command and don't need any outsiders to supplement them. "

Zhou Mo shook his head.

The fundamental reason for deciding on the actors is actually to save trouble.

It is really worry-free to use people who have signed contracts and cooperated with us.

Peace of mind in every sense of the word.

However, in the past few years, their company has indeed signed contracts with many actors who are not currently famous but have good acting skills.

The content of the contract also involves inviting people to the crew as instructors, and occasionally playing supporting roles.

The invited actors were also very happy. One reason was that Shanhe Company paid them very generously, and the other was that Shanhe Company did have many opportunities, and cooperating with Shanhe Company could greatly increase their chances of appearing on the screen.

After a while, the break was over.

Zhou Mo and other three began auditioning for the next role.

Sha Ruijin.

……

after an hour.

In the audition room, the expressions of Li Lu, Xia Donghai, and Zhou Meisen were somewhat frozen, and even a little annoyed.

In the past hour, their experience can be said to be painful and happy.

no way.

There were so many actors and actresses coming.

And they are all top-notch. Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Zhang Guoli...

A group of big names in the industry vied for the role of Sha Ruijin.

Li Xiazhou's team had the same reaction after watching everyone's performance.

This is good.

This is good too.

This is not bad either.

So, after a round of discussion, Li Xiazhou and his companions found that they could not decide who would play the role of Shan Ruijin.

Can't choose.

There is no choice at all.

But it is impossible not to choose, the work must go on no matter what.

Zhou Mo waited for their eye contact to end before speaking.

"How about it, do you have any ideas?"

"Actually, I still prefer Mr. Chen Daoming." Li Lu was the first to express his opinion.

In fact, he wanted Chen Daoming to play the role of Sha Ruijin from the beginning, but he knew very well that Chen Daoming was not someone he could just call upon.

So I didn’t contact them.

Xia Donghai said: "I prefer Chen Baoguo, for no other reason than that I like his style more."

Zhou Meisen frowned and looked at the two men.

Hey?
You two really got chosen, right?
"Instead of discussing who to choose here, I think you two should first think about who not to choose."

Li Lu & Xia Donghai: …

Yes.

With so many big-name actors ahead of them, these two are the younger generation.

If you choose one, you have to reject the others, which is not an easy task.

When the two of them thought of this, they quickly turned their gazes to Zhou Mo.

"Director Zhou, which one do you think is better?"

Zhou Mo: ...

Isn't your reaction a little too smooth?

"Director Li, you are the director of our play. Your opinion is the most important when it comes to casting."

Li Lu waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I'm not important... Uh, what I mean is, I'm not capable enough and I really can't think of who to choose. Director Zhou, you should make the decision on this matter."

When Xia Donghai heard this, he immediately raised his hand.

"Me too! Director Zhou, you have to make the decision on this matter."

Seeing this, Zhou Mo stopped joking with the two of them.

"Okay, then let's choose Mr. Chen Daoming. I thought about it and he is more suitable for this role."

Li Lu & Xia Donghai nodded immediately.

"Yes, I feel the same way."

"That makes sense. Teacher Chen is really good."

Seeing Zhou Mo was so decisive, Zhou Meisen felt a little reluctant.

"What about the other teachers? Should we reject them or assign them other roles, such as Tian Guofu?"

Zhou Mo was stunned, then said helplessly.

"Teacher Zhou, these teachers are here just for Sha Ruijin. They won't play other roles without Sha Ruijin."

Zhou Meisen slapped his forehead suddenly.

"Oops, I was confused."

People like Chen Daoming are not semi-retired old actors, nor are they the gold medal supporting actors who have been supporting others for many years, but well-known actors who have been playing the leading roles for many years.

In a drama, they may not be the protagonists, but they must be the core of the plot.

Shadui Jin is not the main character, but he is indeed the absolute core of Handong's anti-corruption campaign.

Therefore, these people will only fight for Sha Ruijin alone.

Unless Zhou Meisen sat down on the scene today and started to revise the script, writing Zhao Lichun out directly and giving him some shots.

In that case, people like Chen Baoguo would most likely stay.

But obviously, this idea is just an idea.

Zhou Mo continued, "But you don't have to worry, I have already arranged everything, there will be no problem."

Li Lu's eyes lit up.

"Director Zhou, what did you tell the teachers?"

"Our company will be launching a number of reality projects recently, and each project is currently lacking a core figure."

Li Lu suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

It's amazing that a company has a lot of business.

It doesn’t matter that Sha Ruijin has been taken down, there are plenty of other projects where you can play roles.

After Sha Ruijin.

The auditions for the remaining roles were much easier.

There are also many people who come for each role, but there are only one or two who particularly fit the character image and stand out.

Zhou Mo and a few others discussed for a while and finally decided on the person.

For example, Zhou Mo directly assigned Chen Yanshi to his own man Jin Shijie.

Teacher Bai Zhidi’s acting skills are of course very good, but Zhou Mo is not familiar with him.

It just so happens that Jin Shijie also starred in a micro-film "Veteran", in which his acting skills were superb.

Zhou Mo arranged it right away.

In addition, for example, Qi Tongwei’s wife, Liang Lu.
