Chapter 33: First Dream

After Lin Ziwei said that, Naza felt that his role was gone.

She never thought that Zhang Yang would speak up for her directly.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

After all, it is just a small supporting role in a big production, and many graduates from professional schools do not get such an opportunity.

Even though she already has the third female role in "Xuan-Yuan Sword", she would not look down on such an opportunity.

"Use your personal assistant?" Lin Ziwei looked Naza up and down, resisting instinctively.

Naza is extremely beautiful, her beauty is aggressive, the type that can stun people at first sight. Lin Ziwei noticed her yesterday.

It's a waste to have such a beauty as someone's personal assistant. She has thought about recruiting her and training her to become a star, but she has not taken any action yet.

Now that Zhang Yang is trying to get a role for Nazha, she can totally understand it, and she also thinks there is nothing wrong with it just from the appearance point of view.

But if someone whose figure and appearance are obviously better than hers plays Zhao Jingniang, will she outshine her?
"This role is quite important. Can you play the role of a personal assistant well?" Lin Ziwei asked a reasonable question after a little thought.

Everyone could tell that she wanted to refuse politely.

Nazha sighed inwardly, thinking that she had no chance, but she noticed from the corner of her eyes that Zhang Yang's expression hadn't changed at all: "Sister Ziwei, don't worry. Nazha is nominally my personal assistant, but in reality she is a contracted artist of our Tangren. She will join the crew to film the third female role in our self-made fairy tale drama in May."

"By the way, the first female lead in that drama is Tang Yan, and the second female lead is Sister Shi Shi. Her role is similar to that of Zi Xuan in The Legend of Sword and Fairy III."

"By the way, I will play the second male lead, which is similar to the role of Xu Changqing played by Brother Hua in Chinese Paladin III. I am confident that I can play the role well."

hiss!
Zhang Yang's words surprised Liang Xinquan, Lin Ziwei and others.

"Chinese Paladin III" is a phenomenal hit drama. Three of the five main actors are already first-tier stars, and the other two are quasi-first-tier stars, and there is a high probability that they will be promoted this year.

Tangren's strength in producing fantasy dramas is obvious to all in the circle. Zhang Yang and Nazha can play the second male and third female roles, which must be recognized by Cai Yinong. There is a high probability that they will become popular in the future.

We can be assured of letting them play the roles of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Jingniang. Maybe we can even ask Tangren to help buy some press releases to increase the popularity of the drama.

And Naza is still a pure newcomer, so it doesn’t cost much to sign him now, and it is cost-effective.

Only Lin Ziwei was worried about being outshined.

It was at this time that Zhang Yang said again: "Zhao Jingniang is just a small role, Na Zha will definitely be able to play it well."

"The character of "Sending Jingniang A Thousand Miles Away" reflects Zhao Kuangyin's qualities of not being interested in women and being brave and righteous."

"But in our drama, Zhao Kuangyin refused because he had Ma Fuya and Bai Yueguang in his heart."

"There are thousands of beauties in the world, but he only loves Sister Yaya."

These words made Lin Ziwei feel happy.

Yes, according to the performance in the play, Nazha plays Zhao Jingniang, who likes Zhao Kuangyin and wants to devote herself to art.

But Zhao Kuangyin had Ma Fuya in his heart, and was unwilling to accept Zhao Jingniang even if it was just a secret love.

This shows that Zhao Jingniang is not as good as Ma Fuya, and Zhao Kuangyin contrasts Ma Fuya's excellence.

Only a Ma Fu Ya like this could be the most stunning imperial concubine!

"So that's how it is." Lin Ziwei smiled brightly, "Ayang, why didn't you tell me earlier? To be honest, I wanted to sign Naza to my studio for training, but I didn't expect that she was an artist of Tangren."

"Then let's leave it at that. I'm relieved to let Naza play Zhao Jingniang. Director Lin can choose the other roles."

Lin Ziwei agreed, and naturally everyone else had no objection to this little matter.

"Director Lin will be in charge of shooting the rest of your scenes, so just follow him." Liang Xinquan was very enthusiastic towards Zhang Yang.

Most people in the entertainment industry are shrewd people. They are happy to make friends with artists like Zhang Yang who are likely to become famous in the future without harming their own interests.

He even used the crew's money and resources and used his own connections!

Lin Ziwei and Liang Xinquan talked to Zhang Yang for a few more words before leaving.

Lin Feng called Zhang Yang to his room to discuss the script and action design.

"Are you also a martial artist?" Lin Feng was a little surprised.

Before the filming officially started, he wanted to test Zhang Yang's flexibility and comprehension ability so that he could use it as a reference when designing the fighting scenes. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang showed him a set of boxing skills. "It can be considered a child's skill. Three or five people can't get close to me." Zhang Yang did not hide it.

Only if you show your ability can you get better treatment.

"Then I will discuss with the martial arts instructor and design a set of difficult but good-looking sword and gun techniques for you." Lin Feng was excited to see the prey and was ready to go.

As an action director, he finally found his place and was able to leave some good scenes in this drama.

"I'm fine with either." Zhang Yang actually wanted to design it himself.

But there is a certain difference between Kung Fu and martial arts. He wants to see the level of the crew's martial arts director first.

Afterwards, he discussed the contents of the script with Lin Feng and did not leave until it was almost time for dinner.

"Here is your script. Memorize the lines these few days." Zhang Yang handed a few sheets of paper to Naza.

The drama is called "The Empress of China" and Zhao Kuangyin is only a supporting role, not to mention Zhao Jingniang.

Zhao Jingniang has very few scenes. The only scene is when she is about to be raped by bandits in a Taoist temple, and Zhao Kuangyin appears as a hero to save her.

The other is that she confesses her love to Zhao Kuangyin after being escorted thousands of miles away, but is sternly rejected by Zhao Kuangyin. The latter will take out the "token" from time to time to miss his white moonlight.

The last scene may or may not be filmed. It is about Zhao Jingniang being sent home and framed by her brother and sister-in-law. In order to prove her innocence and because she does not want to get married, she chooses to become a nun.

It's not even half an episode in total, but if it's well acted it might still be impressive.

"Brother Yang, do we need to tell Sister K about this?" Nazha was holding a thin piece of paper, unable to hide his excitement, but he did not forget the important matter in his mind.

"No need, it's just a minor role." Zhang Yang shook his head without thinking: "Sister K knows, there might be complications. I helped you negotiate a special actor salary of 3,000, you can keep it as pocket money."

Three thousand?

My heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Jinfu was paid 70,000 yuan for playing the male lead, while she was only paid 30,000 yuan after tax for playing the third female lead.

Hanging out with Zhang Yang, he helped her earn three thousand in just a few days! ?
A seed is suddenly buried deep in the heart of Naza, and one day it will sprout.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Yang flashed a smile in the depths of his eyes.

Leaving Naza to study the script, he found the person in charge of finance and asked him to issue a separate invoice.

"Not signing the contract goes against regulations, and it's difficult for me." said the finance department.

"The pay for this role is between three thousand and five thousand, and I only want three thousand." Zhang Yang smiled.

The finance department understood immediately and sighed, "Forget it. Signing a contract is indeed troublesome. I will arrange a position for you as a screenwriter assistant. The salary for three days of hard work is 5,000 yuan, and the tax will be paid by the crew."

The finance department had someone sign a simple labor contract with Zhang Yang, with a total salary of 5,000 for three days, and then paid 3,500 to Zhang Yang. It goes without saying where the remaining 1,500 went.

"Thanks, brother!" Zhang Yang left in a cool manner.

In the next few days, the crew made adjustments to the filming content as arranged, and Zhang Yang had one or two scenes with Lin Ziwei every day.

Having lived two lives, with combined talents and abilities, his acting skills are at the level of an award-winning actor, and he can basically shoot every scene in one take.

After completing the filming of the original script content, Lin Feng brought a team to prepare to start filming the additional scenes.

"Go to bed early tonight and don't let down your guard tomorrow."

Zhang Yang sent Naza to the hotel room and stood at the door giving instructions.

"I know, I know. I won't embarrass you." Naza hurriedly closed the door.

After spending these few days together, she somehow felt a little afraid of being alone with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang returned to his room, took a shower, and started writing the script.

When the time was almost right, he sent a message to Naza.

After a long time without a reply, he went to the bed and lay down, muttering to himself: "I want to dream."

"The most beautiful imperial concubine in the world, Zhao Kuangyin!"
