Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 61 Finalizing the Male Lead
On June 6, the temperature in the capital city continued to rise, and the girls on the street began to wear cooler clothes.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Nanxun Culture Reception Room.

At this time, inside the room, the interview lineup consisting of Chen Chao, Xu Fei, Lin Yufen and two new screenwriters from Nanxun Culture was in place.

Outside the reception room, Hu Ge, Yang Yang, Zhu Yilong and Bai Jingting were sitting on the sofas specially prepared by the staff waiting.

Except for Bai Jingting, the other four came alone with their agents. Gao Wen, as the representative of Nanxun Culture, accompanied them the whole time.

Yang Yang was the first one to be called in, while the others continued to wait outside.

Jia Shikai approached Gao Wen with a kind smile on his face and said, "Assistant Gao, I wonder if General Manager Lin will come today? I have admired him for a long time and I really want to meet him."

Gao Wen said with a professional smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jia, our Mr. Lin has an important class today and may not be able to make it. I can't give you a definite reply."

Jia Shikai waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, it's okay, I understand. You see, I almost forgot that General Lin is also a top student at Renmin University, so he should naturally focus on his studies. I was inconsiderate."

After saying that, he walked back to the side, looking a little unnatural.

After all, in his opinion, Yuekai was a well-known company in the circle. Now that he brought Yang Yang here in person, Lin Li didn't even show up, which was somewhat disrespectful.

The others laughed secretly when watching this scene, and they only applauded Jia Shikai who tried to make connections but hit a snag.

Hu Ge was accompanied by Cai Yinong herself. She had the same purpose as Jia Shikai, but she was not as anxious as Jia Shikai.

Now looking at his predicament, she was secretly glad that she didn't go over to ask first.

After about ten minutes, Yang Yang came out with a gloomy face. Jia Shikai went to meet him and saw his face, and his heart skipped a beat.

Yang Yang was about to say something when Jia Shikai quickly winked at him. He then stopped talking and walked aside with an unhappy look on his face.

Jia Shikai came over and said hello to Gao Wen, saying that the interview was over and the company had other arrangements, so he took his leave first and left with Yang Yang.

At this time, several people present confirmed that Yang Yang should have been eliminated, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Yang Yang is quite competitive, and this kind of idol drama is his comfort zone.

The next person to enter was Hu Ge.

However, Hu Ge came out not long after he went in, less than ten minutes.

Cai Yinong saw this and went over to him with a surprised look on his face: "What's going on? How come you came out so quickly?"

Hu Ge smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, this character has a lot of game-playing scenes, which I don't know how to do. And Director Lin is from our company, and she told me directly that my temperament is not suitable for the role of Yu Tu."

Cai Yinong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What's wrong with Lin Yufen? It's fine if she insists on taking on other roles, but she doesn't even know how to protect her own artist!"

Hu Ge waved his hand: "It's not Director Lin's fault, I feel the same way myself, and I just don't really want to act in a modern idol drama, so let's leave it at that."

Cai Yinong had no choice but to go back to the sofa with Hu Ge and sit there waiting.

On the one hand, she wanted to wait for Lin Li to come over and get to know him.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see who would eventually get the big prize.

At this moment, the happiest person was Bai Caiyun from Dongfang Feiyun.

Originally, after she came and saw Hu Ge and Yang Yang, she had given up the idea of ​​competing for the leading role, but she didn't expect that these two would fail one after another. In this way, Zhu Yilong's chances of success will be much greater!
At this time, the staff came over to inform Zhu Yillong to go in.

Zhu Yillong, who was reading the original book over and over again, quickly agreed. Then he took a few deep breaths to relax himself. After saying hello to Bai Caiyun, he walked into the reception room.

After entering, Zhu Yilong first greeted Chen Chao and others politely, then stood in front of them with a reserved look, waiting for them to give the content of the interview.

Chen Chao took a careful look at Zhu Yillong's appearance, then exchanged a glance with Xu Fei, both of them showing some surprise in their eyes.

Because Lin Li had told them before to take a look at Zhu Yilong and thought he was a more suitable candidate for Yu Tu.

At first, they both thought that a little-known actor like Zhu Yilong could not be more suitable than Hu Ge and Yang Yang.

But now that I have seen him in person, Zhu Yilong's restrained and elegant temperament is really quite outstanding.

Lin Yufen looked him up and down for a few times and asked, "I'm not worried about your acting skills. I watched some of your performances in other dramas before coming here. What I want to ask is, if you were asked to play Yu Tu, what do you think is your advantage compared to Hu Ge and Yang Yang?"

Zhu Yilong was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would not test his acting skills but instead asked such a question.

He thought for a while, then answered seriously: "I am not as famous as them, or far behind. But I am willing to make the greatest effort for acting, regardless of my image and environment, and obey all the director's arrangements."

After a pause, he continued: "The most important thing is that I'm cheap." "Puff"

Chen Chao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He never expected that Zhu Yilong, a man who looked so serious, could say such funny words so seriously.

The other people also laughed at his last words, but Xu Fei was thinking, "Isn't this what President Lin wanted?"

After calming down, Chen Chao made an apologetic gesture to Zhu Yilong: "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I just felt a little shocked."

Zhu Yilong smiled shyly: "It's okay, it's my problem."

Lin Yufen turned her gaze to Xu Fei, and Xu Fei looked at Chen Chao. When he saw Chen Chao nodded, he knew what was going on.

He gave Lin Yufen a look, and Lin Yufen understood what he meant and asked Zhu Yillong.

"Is the schedule for the next few months okay?"

Zhu Yillong's body shook, and his face showed ecstasy.

Then he quickly regained control, his voice trembling slightly: "No problem, I'm fine."

"Then go back and prepare. You will join the group in about half a month."

"Okay, okay. Thank you Director Lin, thank you everyone!"

"Go ahead, and let Bai Jingting in."

"Okay, okay."

Zhu Yillong agreed readily and walked out with excitement.

Outside, seeing Zhu Yilong coming out, Bai Caiyun hurriedly went to greet him: "How's it going, Yilong?"

Zhu Yilong was full of excitement: "Sister Yun, I was selected and I got the role!"

"Ah, great!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Caiyun shouted excitedly, causing Cai Yinong and the other man to be stunned.

They also didn't expect that Nanxun Culture's final choice would be the little-known Zhu Yilong.

Bai Jingting, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly lost his luster and became extremely depressed.

He originally thought he had a chance, but now he has completely given up.

"Hello, Director Lin wants you to come in."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yillong suddenly walked up to him and said this.

Although Bai Jingting was a little confused, why did they let me in when the protagonist had already been decided?

But still holding out a glimmer of hope, he stepped into the reception room.

Inside, after greeting each other, Chen Chao got straight to the point: "Mr. Bai Jingting, if you can't play Yu Tu, would you be willing to play the role of Yu Tu's friend Zhai Liang in the play?"

Bai Jingting answered without hesitation: "I do. I do."

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, but he didn't expect that there was a ray of hope after all the difficulties.

Although he cannot play Yu Tu, being able to play a major supporting role in a scheduled hit drama is also great for him now.

Chen Chao was very happy to see Bai Jingting was so tactful. He knew what Lin Li meant, which was to keep the person to participate in the performance first and then recruit him directly.

Lin Li does not intend to do artist management, but he is looking for mature artists like Bai Jingting who work alone and have the potential to become a big hit in the future.

Lin Li could definitely help him set up a studio in advance and strengthen his relationship with Nanxun Culture in a more cooperative manner.

Similar to Noon Sunshine, it only focuses on content creation and does not engage in artist management.

However, with long-term collaborating actors such as Wang Kai and Jin Dong, everyone can focus more on their own strengths and produce better results.

And at this point, the role of the male lead in You Are My Glory has been officially confirmed.
