I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 182, Liu Lili: "Daughter, you don't understand him as well as I do."

At this time, the director team also arrived one after another, led by Li Liguo from Po County, and prepared for the next filming.

After taking a look at the protagonists, I felt a little impressed. Although they are young, they all look pretty good.
"Tangren Film and Television is still ambitious this time."

Looking at this group of protagonists, although Hu Qu's appearance is not particularly stunning, he has a very attractive feeling.
Basically, they use newcomers or second-tier teams, which is actually not in line with Tangren's nature. You know, "The Twins" and "Legend of Heaven and Earth" both invited popular first-tier idols, but this time they actually did the opposite and used their own direct line. But even if they are direct line, they are newcomers among newcomers.

Compared with the young cast, the total investment this time reached 48 million yuan, which is higher than the investment cost of many CCTV dramas.

In this regard, the Tang people’s signal is very clear.

Following Zhang Jizhong's approach, we put more money into visual effects.
When Li Liguo thought about the age of the female president of Tangren, his pride was greatly reduced.

Born in 4000, he founded Tangren Media in and is now able to go all out to launch a project worth million yuan.

Impressive.

"You should have confidence."

At this time, Cai Yulong, the female president and founder of Tangren, looked at Li Liguo and said, "I've put all my liquid funds on this."

"Basically, we'll follow your requirements and give the protagonists the ultimate portrayal of their idolization. I believe the audience will appreciate their charm."

Fill it with the core of idol dramas.

Li Liguo's director team is very good at creating the ultimate characters, and Eddie Peng and Liu Pinru are both idols from Taiwan, and they both have outstanding looks and are at the peak of their beauty.

He has good looks, good acting skills, good temperament, and a great figure. Li Liguo even wants to ask if he can sell his body.

Although Hu Qu is young and immature, his appearance and temperament are absolutely good, and he is very attractive.

As for Zhao Linger - this is really not just a fairy acting in a play
As for "Baiyue", Li Liguo is still a little regretful about the role change this time. After all, that is Xu Mianjiang, a veteran actor with superb acting skills. He is one of the most powerful ones in terms of acting skills and status. It is a pleasure to cooperate with such an acting school.

But now, this actor has been replaced by a student, a student of the same age as Zhao Linger.

Although they are all students, their moods are different! With Liu Yifei's looks, she can play Zhao Linger even without acting skills, because she is a fairy.

There is not much disappointment. After all, the main characterization is on the protagonists, and the focus is on the protagonists. The Moon Worshiper is just a tool villain, and he and the descendant of Nuwa, the King of Nanzhao, are catalysts for growth, but the Moon Worshiper is a villain-type catalyst.

It’s just that working with veteran actors should make directing more comfortable.

However, from a commercial perspective, Lao Xu's reputation is indeed not very good. In an idol drama that brings together handsome men and beautiful women, it is not a good impression for Ximen Daguanren to jump in.

All I can say is, let’s shoot it this way. Anyway, as long as the main characters can perform, the tools can be whatever they want.

At this time, Liu Lili also came to Tangren Film and Television. Looking at Cai Yulong, who was much younger than herself, from a woman's perspective, she admired this female president very much.

Starting from scratch and founded when he was less than 30 years old, Tangren Media has now become a second-tier company.

This is a true genius. He has conquered a place, become the boss, and become the leader of his own circle. It is truly admirable.

"Boss Cai, this is what a young genius should be like."

"Sister Liu, you're too kind. I'm just scraping by under the patronage of various circles, and I'm hardly a genius." Cai Yulong smiled faintly and said, "If I had ventured into the film industry, or even the drama industry, I would have been targeted by the Beijing circle long ago."

Cai Yulong's business strategy from the beginning was to avoid conflict with the bigwigs in the Peking circle. He even set up his headquarters in Peking so that he would have a breathing space.

It means "surrender".

The development space it brings.

"Now you're fully fledged, aren't you? 'Chinese Paladin' shows your ambition. With tens of millions of dollars invested, and without hiring big names, you're focused on the quality of your work. You want to compete with those big productions."

Cai Yulong did not refute this.

"Then do you think I can do it?"

"If I didn't think you were capable, I wouldn't have let my daughter come to film with you."

Cai Yulong smiled slightly and said nothing. Some things are tacitly understood, and we can use each other. You need to borrow my works and platform, and I need to use some of your resources. It is a mutual benefit for everyone.

The role of Moon Worshiper is a concession, with the subtext of giving Liu Lili more say.

It's a friendly signal.

It's not a big deal. The structure of Tangren Film and Television is similar to that of Huayi Brothers, with a department for investing in film and television and a department for operating and brokering.

Hu Qu is the direct descendant of the Tang people and the core point. Other characters and other people can be handed over and exchanged.

As long as you can give me, provide the main help for my work.

What if I changed roles? Actors are like chess pieces. Some are more useful, some are less so. But ultimately, the purpose of using them is to expand one’s advantage on the chessboard.

Cai Yulong's ambition is very simple.

Her goal is to make herself the boss of the Shanghai circle, and to stand on equal footing with the Beijing circle and the Hong Kong circle.

Of course, Cai Yulong didn't give out roles casually.

This Moon Worshiper is very good at writing scripts. He even asked Jin Yong to revise the script before. So I gave him the authority to revise the script and gave him a thin script and let him shape it himself.

You see, I gave him ample opportunity to display his talents, so I didn't treat him unfairly.

Liu Lili readily accepted this. How well Li Xuan performed had little to do with him. Now that he had declared his sovereignty and control, he couldn't take everything.

Moreover, there is no room for the upper limit of the character of the Moon Worshiper, and the lower limit will not be too low. This kind of serial villain role will be fine as long as it is fierce and evil enough and can bring out its attributes.

Indeed, compared with other people's scripts, Li Xuan has very few scripts in his hands.

To put it nicely, it allows you to perform freely. To put it bluntly, if you perform badly, you'll be blamed for everything. But if you perform well, how is that possible?

At this time, Hu Qu was looking at the script in his hand, a thick stack that included how to express his emotions and small movements. Compared with the thin paper of Li Xuan, his initial dissatisfaction with him disappeared a lot, and he even felt a little sorry for him.

This is not a villain, this is Liu Jinyuan!
Lin Yueru's "cousin".

This supporting character has a bit of Jin Yong's style of pranks.

However, Lao Hu did not say anything else. In this plan, his only opponent was himself. He was the protagonist and the focus.

And it seems that Liu Yifei doesn't care about Li Xuan's script. Maybe they are really classmates.

It's impossible that they have confidence in him and know that he can complete the script and characterization independently.

Thinking of this, Lao Hu became extremely clear-headed.

But at this time, Liu Yifei was not indifferent at all.

Just looking at Li Xuan thinking alone.

Don't want to disturb him
When Liu Yifei was in the hotel at night, her mother Liu Lili was also there, and they talked about the incident with the thin script during the day.

"Are you blaming Mom?"

"I didn't do that. I was just standing up for my classmates." Liu Yifei's eyes flashed.

The corners of Liu Lili's mouth twitched, and she felt her blood pressure was a little low, so she pulled her elbow outward.

My daughter, you should look at some real geniuses to dispel the mystery. I have made up my mind. I will let her have a meal with Cai Yulong the day after tomorrow.

"Do you know whose position he replaced? It was Xu Mianjiang, the veteran actor. Given his current status, he wouldn't have been able to play this role in a production with a 45 million yuan budget. But I gave him this opportunity and this position, and you're blaming me instead."

Liu Lili's words left Liu Yifei speechless.

Because this is indeed the case. In a sense, Li Xiaoyao, Baiyue, and Tang Yu, these three male characters are the center of this work. No matter how useless the role of Baiyue is in terms of performance, the center is the center, and it is one of the fulcrums supporting the work's stance and worldview.

Not everyone can play this kind of role at this age.

Hu Qu is an artist of Tangren and one of them. It is natural for him to have this position, but Li Xuan does not.

He is an outsider, even an outsider who has offended the Beijing circle, and is considered a troublesome person.

At this time, Liu Yifei also felt that her questioning was too impulsive.

“I’m sorry, Mom.”

"It's okay. You're still young. You don't understand the rules of this world, the interplay of power, compromise, and resources. You don't need to understand that now. That's for when you grow up." At this point, Liu Lili continued, "Besides, there are some things you don't understand."

"What's going on..."

"You may not even know what kind of talents and abilities your classmate, Li Xuan, possesses."

Being so close to her daughter, didn't Liu Lili investigate him? The more she investigated, the more she discovered one thing.

innocent.

In addition to his ability to understand scripts, he also has a strong talent. That strong talent makes Liu Lili feel that perhaps this time the change of role will not really damage the quality of the work?
Liu Lili was a little amused and helpless at this time. She actually knew her daughter's classmates better than her daughter.

She had no idea what kind of situation could make Jin Yong change his character's personality.
