Run, Best Actor!

Chapter 78 Inviting Newcomers

In the "Back to 20" project, Liu Taile made an adaptation that differed from the original timeline and aligned with his own ideas.

The only difference is that Shen Mengjun's grandson and granddaughter were switched – the original version had an older sister and a younger brother, while Liu Taile's version had an older brother and a younger sister.

Shen Mengjun originally liked her quiet and sensible eldest grandson Xiang Qianjin very much, but her relationship with her rebellious granddaughter Xiang Xinran was somewhat tense.

But when she returned to her 20-year-old self and became Meng Lijun, she began to understand her granddaughter Xiang Xinran, and even felt that Xiang Xinran was the person most like herself when she was young.

This also paved the way for her later willingness to donate blood for her granddaughter, even at the cost of reverting to old age.

The role of Meng Lijun was definitely prepared for Yang Mi. Even Liu Taile had made up his mind to let her play the role of the elderly Shen Mengjun.

In the original timeline of the TV series "The Birth of All Things," Yang Mi's old-age makeup truly shocked both the entertainment industry and the public.

When the elderly Ning Xiuxiu first appeared, many people didn't recognize that it was played by Yang Mi.

No one could have imagined that Yang Mi, who is usually so radiant, would one day appear before everyone looking so old.

The contrast is quite striking.

Therefore, having her directly play both the young Meng Lijun and the elderly Shen Mengjun will surely help to redeem many of the public's negative impressions of her acting skills.

The male lead, Tan Ziming, was also prepared for Liu Taile himself.

We will first film "Swords of Legends" early next year, followed by "Back to 20".

The two consecutive pairings deepened the public's impression of the "Sweet Love Couple," and then the official announcement was made.

Yeah, definitely a scheming boy!

As for Xiang Xinran, the second female lead whose role was adjusted, she was naturally prepared for Liu Shishi.

Since Yang Mi rarely asked for a favor, Liu Taile naturally had to fulfill her request.

If we arrange for more young, handsome men in the production team, I believe it will help her break free from her obsession with older men.

The above is the schedule for "Back to 20".

As for "Flying Colors", without a doubt, the most important characters are the female lead Sayaka (the Japanese version of Sayaka) and the male lead, Mr. Tian.

Actually, it's not too bad for Teacher Tian; there are plenty of eligible male actors in the industry.

The choice of Sha Yexiang is still the most troublesome.

Yang Mi is well past the age range suitable for this role, and forcing herself to look young will only backfire.

For example, in "Tiny Times", most people criticized the high school scenes.

Therefore, Liu Taile prefers to find a young newcomer to play this role.

He already had someone in mind for his choice.

……

Shanghai Theatre Academy, the "Magic City".

"Teacher Wang, you were looking for me."

Dilireba gently pushed open the door to her homeroom teacher Wang Xueming's office and respectfully asked him.

"It's hot, isn't it? Come over here and sit down."

Seeing his most promising student from the class of 2010 enter, Wang Xueming happily invited her to sit down in front of him. "How are you doing? Are you adjusting well back to school after filming on such a big set?"

"It's alright. While filming on set, I realized I still have a lot to learn, so I'm making the most of my time to improve after returning to school."

Dilraba answered honestly.

Although she is usually a person and is currently a junior in college, she has quite a lot of experience in the entertainment industry.

Reba's father is a solo singer in the Xinjiang Song and Dance Troupe. Influenced by her father, Reba began to be exposed to art from a young age and learned various musical instruments.

At the age of 9, she was admitted to the Dance Department of the Affiliated High School of Xinjiang Arts Institute.

Incidentally, another beauty from Xinjiang, Gulnazar, also studied at the Affiliated High School of Xinjiang Arts Institute. Dilraba and Gulnazar filmed a photoshoot at the same wedding dress shop when they were still unknown.

In 2011, director Lu Chuan was preparing for the film "The Last Supper". The crew held an open audition, and Dilraba made it to the top 18 to compete for the role of "Yu Ji" but unfortunately she was not selected in the end.

However, because of this audition, Dilraba's photos were circulated everywhere, and they happened to be seen by Yan Qingxiu, the director of the revolutionary drama "Anarhan". So Dilraba took the opportunity to star in the drama.

This is also her first film and television drama, in which she plays Anarhan, a beautiful, kind, and strong-willed woman who dares to love and hate and yearns for freedom. This drama will definitely air on CCTV in the future, meaning Dilraba now has a guaranteed CCTV drama.

In the first half of this year, Dilraba also starred in the Tang Dynasty drama "Ballad of the Desert," in which she played Li Ji, a beautiful exotic woman with exceptional dancing skills.

However, it's probably because her acting style overlaps with that of Gulnazar, the Xinjiang beauty who has already been signed by Tang Ren, that Tang Ren, who usually likes to sign beauties, actually overlooked her, this "chosen one".

In the original timeline, she signed with Jaywalk Studio, which was upgraded from Yang Mi's studio, in early 2013, and was brought into the cast of "Swords of Legends" by Yang Mi, playing the role of Fuqu, the junior sister of Tianyong City.

With the huge success of "Swords of Legends", this role made Dilraba, a beauty from the Western Regions, known to the public.

But to this day, she remains penniless.

"It's hot, isn't it? Your teacher called you here because there's something very important that will definitely affect your future life, and I need to tell you about it."

Wang Xueming chatted briefly with Reba before getting down to business.

"Recently, a film company sent a movie script to the school, specifically asking you to play the female lead role."

"Um?!"

Reba suddenly looked up, pointed at herself, and said, "Looking for me? In a movie? Or as the female lead?!"

"Yes."

Wang Xueming affirmed, "This is a rough draft of the script. Hot, right? Take a look."

As he spoke, he handed several printed sheets of paper to Reba.

Reba hurriedly took it with both hands and eagerly started reading.

Since it's described as a rough draft, the content is naturally quite brief.

Reba knows that the script, titled "Flying Colors," tells the story of a female underachiever's comeback.

She only realized her mistake near the end of the second semester of her junior year, and then spent a year getting into a top university!

That's a bit of a myth.

However, those who have experienced the college entrance examination know the appeal of this kind of storyline to Chinese people.

Overall, it's very exciting.

Meanwhile, Dilraba noticed the film's production company.

"Jiale Media and Enlight Media!?"

Reba looked up at Wang Xueming again, "Teacher Wang, is this invitation from Jiale Media?"

"Yes."

Wang Xueming nodded. "That's why I said this is a major event that will affect your future life."

After a pause, he continued, "I'm sure you've heard about it recently. This company, Jiale Media, is founded by Liu Taile, an athlete who crossed over into the film and television industry. It's still in its early stages."

If that were all, the teacher would have simply rejected you.

"After all, it's a small company that's only been established for less than two years. Besides film and television investment, they had no other businesses, so it's really not worth signing them."

Both of them understood the subtext of the other's invitation: if they wanted to get the lead role in the movie, they would have to sign an agency contract with the other's company.

Otherwise, it's really not worth a film company going to the trouble of casting Dilraba, a relatively unknown figure in the film industry, as the female lead in this movie.

"But now that this film project has the backing of Enlight Media, it proves that it is real."

Wang Xueming said seriously, "Although I don't know how the movie will turn out, it is a movie after all, so we have to consider it carefully."

These days, online movies are not yet widespread, so traditional movies are still considered high-class.

Moreover, since Enlight Media is involved in the investment and distribution of this project, it's highly unlikely to be a TV movie.

Therefore, it will definitely eventually be released in theaters!

So, if the other party's condition for agreeing to act is signing with their company, it's not unreasonable.

After thinking carefully, Reba asked, "Teacher Wang, do you have the other company's contact information? I'd like to talk to them."

"Of course there is."

Wang Xueming nodded again, "In fact, the other party has already sent people to Shanghai, just waiting for you to express your interest so they can come and talk to you in person."

This can be considered a protective measure by film schools, acting as a filter for students to prevent them from being scammed by film companies.

"Teacher Wang, I'd like to talk to the other party."

Reba said seriously, "After all, it's a movie, and the project seems pretty reliable, so I'd like to give it a shot."

"Okay, I'll contact them for you in a bit."

As he spoke, Wang Xueming sighed, "It's hot, isn't it? As soon as you enrolled, we teachers had high hopes for you."

Now, it's really come true. You might soon become a big star!

Upon hearing this, Reba smiled sheepishly.

But with her beautiful features, her extraordinary charm was already beginning to show.
