This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 202 "Bloody Romance" (asking for monthly ticket)
This group of people just chatted and drank, and only started to talk about business when they were almost done.

"Lao Yang (Du Liang) and I are working on a TV series called "Blood Romance", and we are still short of a leading male role..." Teng Wenji looked at Hao Yun, obviously evaluating him.

In his opinion, Hao Yun was a little too handsome.

Of course, this is not a big problem, as TV dramas are meant to be commercial.

The more handsome the male lead is, the easier it is to attract people to watch.

The original story and characters are not that important.

From his perspective as a director, whether it is casting or changing the script, it is all for the purpose of making money.

In addition, he also watched some clips of Hao Yun's works provided by his son. This kid seems to have some special abilities.

That is to make people ignore his appearance and easily see the character itself. He is not the kind of actor who looks like himself in every role.

One person has many sides.

In layman's terms, he has a movie face.

I was born to do this job.

"How could you possibly be short of a leading male role?" Jiang Wen expressed his disbelief.

He knew the script of "Blood Romance". The investor was Runya Film and Television, and behind Runya Film and Television was Hai Run.

Hai Run is from Hai Yan, and this company has no shortage of leading male roles.

I understand everything I understand.

"The investor gave Liu Ye the leading male role, but I don't think he is suitable." Du Liang was very straightforward.

Perhaps this is the spirit of literati.

The capital for his willfulness was that Hai Run wanted to shoot his "Drawing Sword".

In addition, Teng Wenji's changes to the script made the relationship between the director and the screenwriter very tense, so they planned to make some concessions on the leading male role.

Du Liang got the right to choose the leading male role.

However, after analyzing a large number of new generation actors, he found that Liu Ye, whom he looked down upon, might even be the best among them.

No one else would be suitable for the role of Zhong Yuemin.

At this time, Teng Huatao, who participated in the project and learned from his father, proposed a candidate.

It was Hao Yun who was hotly discussed in the circle.

The reason why Hao Yun came into the limelight of the high-end circle was naturally because of Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen is a legendary figure. He has almost reached the pinnacle of acting. He is currently the highest paid male actor in China, even higher than Chen Daoming.

20 years ago, the crew of "The Last Emperor" found him and asked him to play Puyi.

But Jiang Wen, who signed the contract, was replaced by Chen Daoming.

If for no other reason, Jiang Wen's appearance was unpleasant.

Who could have imagined that 20 years later his pay would be higher than Chen Daoming's, and his "side job" as a director would be flourishing.

The big guys like Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen was clearly trying to train a successor. Perhaps he had already made a will, preparing to let Hao Yun inherit the debts he had borrowed for Liu Xiaoqing.

Because of the conflict with Teng Wenji, Du Liang found it difficult to trust Master Teng.

But he still paid attention to Hao Yun and watched his previous works.

This is incredible.

Hao Yun has many different styles. He can play a fool, a silver thief, an undercover agent, a Taoist priest, a vampire, and none of them look out of place.

This is very important. When "Blood Romance" began, Zhong Yuemin was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and by the end of the story he was already middle-aged. He had experienced too many things in the process. If the actor's performance was not diverse and was the same from beginning to end, it would really be a waste of this role.

Du Liang also watched the DVD of "The Matrix" and found that Hao Yun's skills were very good.

The Zhong Yuemin he wrote about was originally a good Sanda fighter.

But Liu Ye doesn’t know how to fight at all, and he can’t act out that kind of masculinity, which deviates from the beautiful things that Du Liang gave to the character when he created this image.

It's not that Liu Ye is not good, but that he is not suitable at all. If he is not suitable, why not find someone who is suitable?

Zhong Yuemin is like Du Liang's son, and he is willing to spend more time and energy on the search.

This is also the biggest disagreement between Du Liang and the director and investors.

Now, Du Liang and Teng Wenji followed Teng Huatao to see Hao Yun for the final confirmation.

"Uncle Jiang, am I better than Liu Ye?" Hao Yun was shocked.

Jiang Wen held his forehead. What a weird brain circuit this kid had. Even when the pie fell on his head, he was still calculating the acceleration of gravity.

"I can't say that he is better than Liu Ye, but he is more suitable for the role than Liu Ye."

Du Liang was still a very kind person. He was afraid that if today's incident got out, Liu Ye would be ridiculed by the crowd.

"A kid from a big compound, he..." Teng Wenji originally wanted to say that Hao Yun was not from the capital, but when he saw Jiang Wen, there was no need to say it anymore.

The concept of compound has been played out in a variety of ways by Jiang Wen and his group.

Jiang Wen made the stunning masterpiece "Sunny Days", but Du Liang had not yet written "Blood Romance" at that time.

Du Liang himself admitted that he was somewhat influenced by "Sunny Days".

What Teng Wenji and Du Liang fear most is that after the TV series is filmed, it will be called the TV version of "Sunny Days", which would be a shame for them.

"The leading male role, right? When will the TV series be filmed?" Hao Yun didn't read the script, but he knew that he must have a role as the leading male role.

He hasn't read Du Liang's "Drawing Sword", but it's in Jiang Wen's bookcase.

Even Jiang Wen bought it to read, so how bad could his other work "Blood Romance" be?

Moreover, this project was completed under Uncle Jiang's nose, so there were fewer messes.

Whether it is Du Liang, Teng Wenji, or Hai Yan behind them.

No one would think that Jiang Wen is easy to bully.

The capital area is very united, and no one will bully Hao Yun under Jiang Wen's nose.

"Filming is tentatively scheduled to start at the end of January. If we do shoot, it will be finished in March or April, but you'd better prepare for the role early."

If it was Hao Yun, Teng Wenji would have had a lot less trouble.

Jiang Wen and Hai Yan are from a small circle, and they are both Wang Shuo’s best friends.

Wang Shuo had initially promoted his girlfriend Xu Jinglei and had her star in the movie "A Romantic Affair". The screenwriter of this movie was Hai Yan, and Xu Jinglei's partner was Jiang Wen...'s younger brother Jiang Wu.

"This is a novel. You can take a look at it, but don't tell anyone else about it because it hasn't been officially published yet."

Du Liang took out a book from his bag and handed it to Hao Yun.

"Thank you, Uncle Yang." Hao Yun took over the book, which meant he took over the role.

There is no problem with the schedule. He will go to Hong Kong in October to shoot "New Police Story", which will be completed in more than a month. After coming back, he will shoot "Labyrinth of the Heart" and then participate in this "Blood Romance".

"Haiyan drama + Zhao Baogang = star" is almost the most powerful formula for creating stars in film and television dramas.

"A Romantic Affair" made Xu Jinglei famous.

"Never Forget You" made Lu Yi and Yuan Li famous.

"Jade Guanyin" made Sun Li and Tong Dawei famous.

Although the director this time is not Zhao Baogang and the screenwriter is not Hai Yan, but as a powerful director among the fourth generation of directors, Teng Wenji is definitely not much worse than Zhao Baogang.

"The leading female role is Sun Li." Teng Huatao added from the side.

Wow, this drama really has a top-notch cast.

It is naturally inappropriate to discuss film remuneration in such a high-end occasion, and it can be discussed afterwards.

however……

"Brother Teng, how much is the salary for the male lead?"

With Jiang Wen around, the style of painting was unlikely to be appropriate, so he asked directly.
