I'm almost a Muggle

Boss Lin likes challenges, but he doesn't like to make trouble.

He would do everything well in a script, but he would spoil a pot of soup with one rat excrement. He would not do such a thing that would not be beneficial to others and would not benefit him.

"The original setting was indeed in his forties, 47 years old." Gao Yalin nodded.

The male lead in this drama is the director of the Investigation Division of China's highest-ranking Bureau of Anti-corruption, the deputy inspector-general of the Handong Provincial Supervisory Yuan and the director of the Bureau of Anti-Corruption, and his rank is deputy director.

Although it is not uncommon for Fu Ting to be in his thirties.

But the protagonist is in a crucial position, which is not something a young person can do.

"At 47 years old, I can't act." Lin Dong shook his head.

Many times, a drama may be very long, running through the life of the protagonist, from his teenage years until his death. Acting combined with makeup is something that many top actors can do.

A grandma named Liu likes to do that.

Although Lin Dong has never acted before, he has the confidence and hopes to try it once.

But this time it's different.

The male protagonist is 47 years old. He is 47 years old. He is at this age from beginning to end.

When the character does not have an age span, it is even more difficult to reflect the character's growth. At this time, the actor's acting skills are not enough to reflect the character's growth, and there is no energy to pretend to be young and old.

"I'm not 47 now, I'm now 37. I'm not trying to please you by using my status as a producer to help you get a role. Asking you to play this role is really the result of the discussion between the main creators at the meeting all night.

"Gao Yalin quickly explained.

"Why?" Lin Dong didn't believe that he had such great abilities.

It is said that a truly capable actor in the entertainment industry can ask the director to change actors, the screenwriter to rewrite the script, and the crew to wait for him for two or three years.

But none of this has anything to do with him.

He can't reach that level. Even if someone does it for him, it's because the money is too much.

"The theme of our drama is too heavy. Even if it passes the review, the ratings will be a big problem. At this stage, the subject matter is unblocked. If the first episode falls to the point where no one cares, there will be no development in the future.

Yes." Gao Yalin explained.

"so?"

"We want to add a youthful element to the play to win over young audiences." Gao Yalin also agreed with this decision.

There are no main and supporting actors under the age of 40 in the entire drama. How can you make young audiences feel like they are involved?

For the sake of ratings, even if you find an actor with some age and experience, you must at least find someone under forty years old, and he must look young, that is, the legendary baby face.

The total investment for this drama reached 120 million, and the actors' remuneration was only 30 to 40%, and the rest was all devoted to production.

Everyone hopes it will sell for a good price.

It would be difficult to sell a play performed by a group of old men at a good price.

"Young audience..." Lin Dong laughed: "Then you have to find some fresh meat."

Gao Yalin waved his hands and shook his head, and also laughed.

This kind of teasing can easily draw the relationship between each other, because everyone is beaten by the little fresh meat. No matter how good your acting skills are, no matter how famous your works are, someone like Lin Dong has a lot of good blessings.

Despite the box office performance, his appearance fee is still not as good as that of Xiao Xianrou.

This year, there have been many revelations about the sky-high price endorsements of Xiaoxianrou.

Lin Dong endorsed Paulsmith. By chance, he got a price increase when he first endorsed Paul Smith. In the first endorsement cycle, the brand sold very well in China. Even so, his endorsement fee in the second cycle was only 13.5 million.

This is his highest endorsement fee, the others are Biscuit’s one million and two years, and Spicy Tiao’s six million and two years.

Around five million is his normal endorsement price.

The endorsement of Xiaoxianrou can easily reach tens of millions, and some even broke the single product endorsement record with 22 million.

"Although you are only in your twenties, you can still act in your thirties," Gao Yalin said.

"Teacher Gao, are you complaining about my appearance? I often complain about Du Qixi like this." Lin Dong was speechless. He didn't expect that he would be treated the same as Du Qixi.

I'm obviously very handsome.

The appearance is at least nine and a half points.

"No, no, don't get me wrong. We have all watched your "Peace of the North" and we are not afraid that you will be angry. In fact, everyone thinks that your acting skills at that time were not mature enough..."

"Of course I'm not angry, it's a fact." Lin Dong had just started acting at that time.

I don't want to think that three or four years have passed now, and I have been working on one drama after another, with different roles and different rewards.

It's a pity that the movie "The Strongest Rival" hasn't been released yet, otherwise Gao Yalin should be able to see himself crushing Liu Furong with his acting skills. That would be his peak level.

"You may not be the best in this show..."

"The worst, the worst." Lin Dong sweated. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not dare to say that he was the best in front of a bunch of veteran actors.

Unless his system is no longer a money-losing system, but a movie-winner system.

For example, you can add points to your acting attributes, or you can have a simulated world of acting for one day outside and ten years inside...

"It's already very good. We feel that the most valuable thing is that you don't feel suppressed or compared in front of a group of veteran actors. They have their character and you have your arrogance."

This is the reason why Gao Yalin came to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong is indeed too young.

Less than twenty-five years old.

At this age, you can call him a little fresh meat.

When he was 22 years old, he acted in "Northern Peace", playing the role of 28-year-old Fang Meng'ao.

There is an age difference of six years.

But this time he played the 37-year-old Hou Liangping at the age of 24.

Thirteen years difference.

The crew didn't want to do this either.

But what can they do?

They don't want the TV series that they put in a lot of effort to produce, and after it is aired, they will all criticize the leading male actor's acting skills. That is a complete failure that lowers the ceiling.

There are movie kings, TV kings, and many other recognized acting talents in their thirties.

Either the image is too inconsistent, or I can't bear the pressure of a group of veteran actors.

Finally, his eyes fell on Lin Dong involuntarily.

If Lin Dong had never played Fang Mengyao, no one would dare to put this burden on his shoulders.

Now, everyone wants to try it.

"Wait a minute, I think you may have made a mistake. I didn't know that Fang Meng'ao was playing the role at first. When I got the script on the set, I realized that I was playing Fang Meng'ao. I didn't plan to play it at that time, but later I bit the bullet.

Go on, you actually think that I am not stressed at all. How could I not be stressed? I was under a lot of pressure during that time, and my hair was falling out in bunches..."

Lin Dong was almost amused.

If Kong, Di and Li Yun hadn't forced him to act against all odds, he might have given up the job at that time.

Looking back at this drama now, there are many things that were not performed well.
