Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 69 Opened the original film

"Haven't you found anyone yet?" Tang Ying asked with a frown.

"No." Xia Yuan shook his head: "I contacted Mr. Huang again, but he didn't accept the offer. I also looked for several other suitable candidates, but in the end, they didn't dare to accept the offer."

There is only one week left until the scheduled start date. It is absolutely impossible for Xia Yuan to not be panicked.

"So what we are discussing now is who should be chosen to play this role. Our opinion is to let Xia Yuan play the role himself and let him take the stage."

Chu Zhongtian spoke up at this time: "But Xia Yuan's idea is to contact the right actor and find someone else to play the role. In my opinion, this is simply a waste of effort."

"How can it be called unnecessary? Although I have played Tyrannosaurus before, how can it be the same this time?" Xia Yuan retorted: "The two roles are of different types, and the film genres are also different."

Xia Yuan looked at Tang Ying: "So what I mean is that this time it is possible that you, the senior sister boss, will have to step in. Can you help me by using your connections to find another national-level actor? I believe that if the boss steps in, there will definitely be hope."

I believe that as long as the senior student takes action, a national-level actor can be invited.

However, when he looked at Tang Ying with hopeful eyes, hoping that Tang Ying could give an answer.

However, Tang Ying didn't hear a single word of what Xia Yuan just said.

She just stared blankly at Chu Zhongtian's words lingering in her mind.

Xia Yuan will come in person and let Xia Yuan perform.
If a role opposite an award-winning actor, the true leading role among leading roles, is given to an amateur.
Moreover, Xia Yuan had clearly stated that with his acting skills, he was absolutely not qualified for the role.

What if we just push all the roles to Xia Yuan?

What will happen?
It is said that professionals do professional things. This has always been the golden rule that Tang Ying believes in. From ancient times to the present, most non-professionals do professional things, and the final results are often disastrous.

If we take a step back and say that something unexpected happens to this film, it will still pass the review. Of course, this is unlikely to happen.

Isn't there Xia Yuan as a backup?
Who wants to watch a protagonist whose acting is terrible and who plays a piece of shit?

Therefore, Xia Yuan must not be allowed to find a suitable actor!

She looked at Xia Yuan: "So, are you sure you can't act?"

"I'm sure." Xia Yuan nodded.

In an instant, Tang Ying was overjoyed.

Good! It’s stable!

This is the attitude that Xia Yuan wants. He doesn't hesitate at all and just says that he can't act. Then it definitely means he can't do it.

Therefore, we must not let Xia Yuan escape this time! It is decided that it will be him!

But we have to find a way to stabilize him.

So, Tang Ying looked at Xia Yuan and said, "Why can't you do that? As far as I know, you also have to learn acting in the directing department, right?"

"No, senior sister, that's different." Xia Yuan wanted to explain.

However, Tang Ying just patted his shoulder and said, "You are still not confident enough in yourself."

She looked at Xia Yuan and said, "First of all, aren't there very few directors who direct and act in their own films?"

"Quite a few." Xia Yuan shook his head.

"Can't you perform?" Tang Ying asked again.

"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded, but then shook his head: "But."

"Okay, stop saying but." Tang Ying said, "I can tell you very clearly that I can't find anyone. As a director, you should know that a role needs to resonate with the actor to a certain extent, so the actor needs to have a certain amount of time to go deep into and understand the role before he can play it well, right?"

"Yeah," Xia Yuan nodded.

This is true. If a good actor wants to play a role well, he needs to invest a lot, and the first thing is to understand the role.

Therefore, before a film starts shooting, the actors may have already started studying their roles long ago.

"But is there still enough time for us now?" Tang Ying asked.

Xia Yuan: “.”

Xia Yuan stopped talking.

The original shooting date was scheduled to start a week later. Even if we find the actors now, there would not be much time left for them to study the script.

This has to be said to be a fatal problem.

"And if we talk about the degree of understanding of the role, who can understand this role better than you?" Tang Ying asked: "First of all, you are the director, and secondly, you are the screenwriter. This role was written by you. So among all the people present, who can understand the character of Zhang Muzhi better than you?
No one? And we have resources and soil in our crew. You can learn and do it while shooting until you are satisfied.

You are the best in your field, so please have some confidence in yourself."

Tang Ying said, and at this point, she couldn't help but think about the future: "Besides, there is no rush at the company, you can take your time."

She wished Xia Yuan could shoot longer.

There is a high probability that it will not pass the review, plus the cycle is long, plus the actors are not professional. Damn, she can't even think of a reason, how is she going to make money this time.

This time, she was determined to win.

The buff is fully stacked, which is yes.

Ge Fu, who had been watching silently, also spoke up: "I think what Mr. Tang said makes sense."

Xia Yuan was stunned and looked over.

Ge Fu looked like a lazy man, lying on the sofa with a big bald head. He looked at Xia Yuan cheerfully and said, "First of all, the production schedule doesn't wait for anyone, and secondly, it's really hard to find someone to act in your script. If it weren't for Zhou Jiaxing being in your crew, I wouldn't dare to take it. But until now, I still don't know why Lao Zhou dared to take your play."

Zhou Jiaxing was stunned when he heard this: "What? Weren't you the first one to ask for the job? At that time, Xia Yuan told me that you were in the team, and I joined the team only after I saw that you dared to take the job."

After saying that, the two of them were silent for a moment and looked at Xia Yuan in unison.

The silence was deafening.

Well, the fact that he was eating from both sides was exposed, and Xia Yuan couldn't help but blush: "Ahem, you two teachers don't need to pay too much attention to this detail. The main problem now is the actors."

"What else do we need to consider?" Ge Fu said, "Only you."

"I agree." Zhou Jiaxing also spoke up: "You don't need to worry too much. We can pay more attention during the filming, and you can come to us if you have any questions. Since the contract has been signed and we are all in the same crew, we will also do our best for the work and can also give you some appropriate guidance."

"This"

Xia Yuan had a headache.

Does everyone trust him so much?

To be honest, ever since he joined his senior's company, everything that happened in the company has completely subverted his outlook on career.

This is a company that does things very unconventionally.

But to be honest, this feeling of being trusted makes people feel good.

However, at the same time, the psychological pressure is also enormous.

"How about this, if you take this role, I will give you an extra 30 million in salary," said Tang Ying.

If the movie fails to be released, Xia Yuan will definitely not get any share of the profits.

From this perspective, it was because of her that Xia Yuan earned less.

Then give him some appropriate remuneration.

"Okay." Xia Yuan sighed.

There was no other way. Given the situation and the heavy burden, he could no longer shirk it. He could not object to anything that everyone agreed to.

At this point, the role of Zhang Muzhi fell naturally on him.

Tang Ying was so happy to see that she had successfully pushed Xia Yuan to the top that she smiled happily.

TMD, this is exactly the effect I want.

So what if you are the top student in the directing department? So what if you have studied acting? Can you act opposite the best actor?
I won't panic you.

This drama is so ruined!!

As for Xia Yuan, all matters were finalized before the filming began. With tremendous psychological pressure, Xia Yuan returned to his office.

The senior student trusted him so much, and everyone trusted him so much, which made him feel a lot of pressure.

but
"Others treat me like a national hero, so I must repay them with a national hero. I cannot let my senior sister and everyone else down."

Fortunately, he still has some cards to play in the face of today's situation.

Xia Yuan murmured as he took out something from the drawer that he had kept for a long time.

That was a thick stack of books.

If My Life Was Not Me

On Experience

Six Lectures on Experience

He propped up a mirror beside him, facing his face, and then closed his eyes.

In his mind, the database emerged, and he found the interface of "Let the Bullets Fly". In his mind, he opened the original film.
On the other side, Tang Ying, who was delighted, suddenly received a message.

Grandpa: "What have you been busy with recently? You haven't talked to me for such a long time, and now you're just letting me vent your anger, and you're silent? I see you keep posting group photos on your Moments recently, who is that boy? Where is he from? Why don't you bring him home to show me?"
