Starting from joining Tencent Video

Dilraba was taken aback when she heard that she could arrange some supporting roles.

She quickly hesitated, considering whether she should try to advocate for her fellow artists.

"If there's a chance, please try to select as many people from Jiaxing Media as possible!"

Dilraba thought for a moment and finally spoke.

She actually has a good relationship with some of the artists from her generation.

Finding suitable resources isn't easy; many people end up playing supporting roles.

For example, Zhu Xudan made a cameo appearance as a female shop assistant in "Men's Diary 3" and participated in a talent show on Hunan TV last year.

Nowadays, talent shows no longer have the same level of prestige as they did ten years ago.

Not to mention this talent show, which doesn't have much fame and isn't like The Voice of China.

This actor still lacks opportunities, especially considering this is a period drama with an investment of 200 million yuan.

If a supporting character has more screen time, they also have the potential to become a breakout star.

"You don't need to be so careful around me!"

Chen Jingyuan stroked Dilraba's hair and spoke slowly.

"Okay, then I'll tell them to get ready."

Dilraba was very obedient this time and did not refuse Chen Jingyuan's kindness.

Honey had previously taught her that men actually like young, beautiful women who are obedient, admire them, and rely on them.

Even if you feel wronged, it's okay to show it appropriately; it's quite good to play the victim sometimes!

Sometimes, the more you don't want something, the more a man will give you.

Dilraba initially only had a vague understanding of it, but now she can understand it a little better.

Currently, Dilraba and Chen Jingyuan don't seem to have any grievances in their relationship.

We don't have much time to get together, so every time we do meet, we're filled with anticipation.

Reba quickly sent a message to Zhang Yunlong and the others!

Let them prepare well; there will be plenty of opportunities.

Zhang Yunlong and the others weren't fools; their faces were filled with excitement.

next day

Chen Jingyuan and Dilraba chose another restaurant to meet with directors Wu Jinyuan and Li Muge.

"Director Wu, Director Mu."

"Director Chen!"

...

Both sides were very polite during their first meeting, and since they were both interested in directing, they certainly wouldn't show any displeasure.

In particular, the price offered by Chen Jingyuan satisfied both directors.

I'd already read quite a few scripts before, and I thought they were all pretty good.

This project has great potential!

As directors with considerable fame, they still try their best to avoid accepting bad scripts.

"This is Dilraba, the leading lady I chose."

Chen Jingyuan didn't forget to introduce Dilraba, who was standing next to him!

"Hello director, I'm Dilraba!"

"She previously appeared in 'Swords of Legends' and 'Diamond Lover'!"

...

Dilraba immediately stood up and introduced herself.

I've faced the director more than once or twice, so it's a piece of cake for me.

Being open and confident, and not showing any timidity, simply mentioning a bit of my resume was enough.

Both Wu Jinyuan and Li Muge are smart people!

It's quite normal for production companies to assign certain roles.

As long as it's not too outrageous, I can accept it!

As for the refusal, that's simply not the case; it's not just a few directors.

It's not easy to direct a suitable project.

Director Ng Kam-yuen, in particular, is from Hong Kong Island, and he has never had much freedom in casting.

I'm already used to it!

This person has directed numerous television dramas and is over sixty years old.

He won't argue about this matter; he'll just do his best to film it.

"Reba, may I call you that?"

"Welcome to the female lead of 'Goodbye My Princess'."

...

Wu Jinyuan was the first to show some goodwill by speaking.

"Director Wu, you're amazing!"

Dilraba replied with a polite smile.

Even though she was certain that she wouldn't run away from being the female lead.

If the director can agree to the problem, it's relatively better.

Li Mugo, standing to the side, also did not object, needless to say.

He was just an assistant director, so he didn't have much say in casting.

The next step was to formally sign the contract and assemble the production team.

It was just an intention before, but now it's finally confirmed.

Chen Jingyuan assigned Wang Tingting to coordinate with the entire production team of "Goodbye My Princess".

Regarding funding, Tencent Video has already transferred the funds to Tianhe Studio's account.

If other projects are included, the amount is several hundred million.

Even Wu Jinyuan shared the same sentiments as director Liu Chang at the beginning.

Funding for a large-scale period drama like this, which typically involves an investment of hundreds of millions, is not easy to come by.

Generally, it's done in batches!

Sometimes even directors have to be careful with the amount of money they use, so as not to run out at the end.

Sometimes, investors run away halfway through filming, and new investors have to be found.

Tencent Video is really quite wealthy and powerful.

After the project was approved, rumors quickly began to circulate.

"Tencent Video's Tianhe Studio has approved a large-scale historical drama project."

"The investment exceeds 200 million yuan, and I heard it's an adaptation of the novel 'East Palace'."

"I wonder if we'll have a chance to audition? This would be a great opportunity."

...

Many actors in the industry immediately started inquiring after receiving some information.

It can be basically confirmed that the rumors are true.

The problem is that getting a main role isn't that easy.

Some people started looking for connections!

For example, Cai Yinong, the actor who plays the sugar man, found director Wu Jinyuan.

The two had collaborated on many projects in the past.

"Mr. Cai, the female lead and producer have already been booked."

"As for the other roles, you can audition for them."

Wu Jinyuan explained the situation directly, saying that if you want a role, you can try auditioning.

Aside from the female lead, other characters still have a chance.

He had already learned from his conversation with Director Chen that Director Chen wanted the female lead and preferred some supporting roles.

The rest depends on the director's audition results; it's fair to say that Director Chen trusts him quite a bit.

"Director Wu, this is a problem!"

After hearing Wu Jinyuan's words, Cai Yinong could only say helplessly.

She had her eye on the female lead role before.

However, now that the production company has made its decision, there's no way they can take it away.

They can only look at other roles and let some of their artists try them out.

Similar to Huayi, Rongxinda, and various other brokerage companies, they have all contacted Wu Jinyuan.

Having worked with too many companies before isn't necessarily a good thing.

Wu Jinyuan is still quite troubled!

Chen Jingyuan was unaware of Wu Jinyuan's troubles, and he took the opportunity to spend more time with Reba these two days.

Dilraba will be recording "Go Fighting!" in a few days, plus participating in some other activities.

Then I basically focused all my energy on "Goodbye My Princess".

Playing a role requires a lot of preparation, especially since Dilraba really wanted to play her first leading role well.

As for Chen Jingyuan, he also has many things to pay attention to.

The editing progress of "Hello, Old Times" and the pre-production status of "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming" are also being promoted.
