Wang Kai has been very proud recently. After the broadcast of [Langya Bang], the ratings of the entire network were very popular. Brother Hu not only won the audience's love with his outstanding performance in the role of Mei Changsu, but also removed the label of idol stars and took a solid step towards acting actors.

As the second male lead in the play, Wang Kai's image as a heroic seventh prince also made him stand out. Although the box office was so popular in [33 Days of Love Break], the audience actually had no impression of Wang Kai. Perhaps just like the sissy he played in [Invincible Ugly] before, the more feminine role was not suitable for him.

This time, the character of Xiao Jingyan, who completely highlighted his temperament. Even his few fans were surprised to find that he was so handsome in a serious drama.

"Sister anli." This is not the first time Wang Kai came to Anli's office, but this is the most proud time for Wang Kai. Wang Kai was actually very nervous before. The company has poured a lot of resources into him, but he is still a little transparent person. If Anli hadn't been encouraged, he would probably have doubted whether he would have no potential to be popular.

Seeing that Wang Kai's spirit was different, anli couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Sit down, have you felt the happiness of popular stars recently?"

Wang Kai smiled embarrassedly: "Sister anli, don't let me down. It's not thanks to you that I can do today."

Anli shook his head and said seriously: "Opportunities will only be reserved for those who are prepared. It is your ability to seize opportunities, but what level you can reach in the end depends on yourself."

"In this circle, I have seen too many artists who open high and close low, and start low and close high. The one who can finally stand at the top must be the ones who work hard enough and objective enough."

Wang Kai felt nervous and hurriedly said, "Sister anli, I..."

anli interrupted: "After so many years, I finally got through it. The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are fast. I can understand, but why do I refuse to participate in the base camp?"

Wang Kai lowered his head and felt a little aggrieved. When he first participated in the base camp, he was for the promotion of [Pretender]. Because his status was too low, he and Jin Dong could only appear in the support session, and there were almost no more shots on the show.

After hearing Wang Kai's statement, anli sighed: "You should know that the base camp is currently the first-line publicity platform in China. This time, people asked you to go. If you refuse, it may be difficult to get on again in the future. After being in this industry for so long, it is normal to promote highs and downs lows. Didn't Ah Xing grit his teeth and survive in Xiangjiang back then?"

Wang Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Sister anli, I understand that you are for my own good, but I don't regret it."

"Okay, I respect your decision." Anli shook his head gently, and couldn't help but feel a little funny again. It is rare to see artists in the entertainment industry who are used to following the crowd and being slapped with others. Such personality is rare.

In fact, Wang Kai was also panicked. It is not a trivial matter for artists in the entertainment industry to refuse notices arranged by the company. Many celebrities are inevitably hidden, let alone an artist who is just a little famous?

Wang Kai looked at Anli nervously. He liked "Zhixing Film and Television" from the bottom of his heart, had an agent who appreciated him, and a tacit assistant team, and this was where his dream began.

"Is there anything else?" Anli asked curiously when he saw that Wang Kai did not leave.

Wang Kai gritted his teeth and asked, "Sister anli, will the company hide me because of this?"

Seeing his serious expression, anli couldn't help laughing: "Xuezang? Why? Just because you don't want to participate in a TV show?"

"Ah." Wang Kai nodded blankly.

Anli laughed so hard that tears were almost coming out: "Haha, you are too cute, are you? The company finally made you famous, and at this time, will you lose all your previous investment be wasted? Tell you that every penny spent by the company on you will only earn back ten or a hundred times. If you push a notice, I will add two notices to you, and I can't rest."

When Wang Kai heard this, he was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Add, add whatever program you want. I have no objection to any program you add except the base camp."

"Is there anything else? Get out of here and make money for the company if you have nothing to do." Anli cursed.

Wang Kai quickly stood up and prepared to go out, but was stopped by Anli. Wang Kai turned around with a bitter face: "Sister anli, are you going to change your mind, right?"

Anli gave him a look in anger and patted his head: "I almost got confused by you. Now, this is a new project that the company is preparing recently. You can see which role I want. I can help you fight for, but whether you can win the role depends on your performance in the audition."

Wang Kai took the script in surprise, was so happy that he bowed to Anli, and then ran away.

"This kid."

Wang Kai was completely relieved now. If the company wanted to hide him, he would never arrange work for him at this moment and return to his apartment.

"Ode to Joy?"

[Ode to Joy] As the next major project of "Zhixing Film and Television", there are naturally many people watching. Since the first review of the script, almost all female artists in the company have begun to use various methods to inquire about news.

It’s not easy for female stars. A popular TV series like [The Legend of Zhen Huan] has only become popular with Sun Li and Jiang Qin. Although the number of young viewers in the TV series market has gradually increased in recent years, it has not yet escaped the situation of relying on middle-aged women to support the ratings, so male actors have much more opportunities than female actors.

Generally, there are male first and male second in a TV series, but female second is not necessarily the case. Maybe it is an optional character.

[Ode to Joy] The reason why it has attracted so much attention from female artists in the company is that there are five female characters in this drama, and each of them has a lot of roles. In other words, if they are well performed, they may become popular. Such a good opportunity, the female artists in the company are naturally unwilling to let go.

In fact, when the adaptation rights of [Ode to Joy] were purchased, it caused controversy within the company. After all, it was definitely the first time that a drama would have to arrange five distinct female characters in the circle.

Although the length of a TV series is not as short as a movie, a character needs to be portrayed through many stories to become flesh and blood. Once there are too many characters, the audience's attention will easily be distracted, and the requirements for the script and actors will be greatly increased.

Overall, this is a thankless thing. In general, a TV series sets two or three protagonists, and the other supporting characters are all revolved around the protagonist. The audience does not need to remember the complicated relationship between characters when watching it.

In the field of drama, group plays are the most difficult to perform.

What's more, setting five heroines means setting the corresponding heroes, otherwise what will the audience watch for an urban drama?

However, after an internal meeting, I finally decided to purchase the adaptation rights of [Ode to Joy]. After the acquisition, the screenwriter team has been adapting the novel for six months. The script has been revised several times, and finally passed the first review.

Since joining "Zhixing Film and Television", Yang Zi has also obtained some resources, but she has never been able to get rid of the label of a child star. The audience does not recognize her performance. Her performance in [Battle of Changsha] is actually quite good, but it still has not caused much storm. In the eyes of the audience, she is still the national daughter "Xiaoxue".

"Yang Zi, all the female artists in the company are crazy now. Why are you not making any noise at all?" the agent said anxiously.

Yang Zi sighed: "So what if I get a role? Maybe I'm not suitable for acting at all. No matter how I play, the audience can only see the shadow of my childhood."

The agent was stunned for a moment and patted Yang Zi on the shoulder: "Is this a loss of confidence? I want to give up? Then why did you do this job? It's because you did it when you were a child?"

Yang Zi shook her lips, Yes, why did she take the art school and want to be an actor? Just because she acted in a play when she was a child?

Suddenly, Yang Zi was shocked: "Yes, I am not acting now because I was a child star before, but because I like acting, the characters in the play, and I like to experience another life!"

The agent smiled happily and said, "That's right. This is the script of [Ode to Joy]. You can first look at which character you like, spend more time and take it down. You have to appear on the screen to see your changes."

"Um."

[Ode to Joy] After the project was established, not only female artists within the company were staring at them, but even many agency companies in the circle were moved, such as Li Xue and Wang Jinghua called Zhou Xing. If it weren't for their phone calls, Zhou Xing wouldn't have known that the resources of female artists in the circle had been so scarce.

“How is the casting of this project going?”

At the meeting, Zhou Xing asked, and everyone looked at Gao Qunshu.

Gao Qunshu shook his head: "It's not very good. Most of the female artists in the company participated in the audition, and only Yang Zi meets Director Chen's requirements."

"Oh? Yang Zi? Is it the character Guan Juer?" Zhou Xing asked curiously.

"No, it's Qiu Yingying."

"Qiu Yingying?" Zhou Xing was a little surprised by this answer. Yang Zi always gave people the impression that she was well-behaved and cute. Logically, she was more suitable for Guan Juer's character. Unexpectedly, she would take a different approach to test Qiu Yingying. Is she determined to transform?

Seeing Zhou Xing looking at him, Chen Mingzhang nodded, indicating that Yang Zi was competent for this role.

Seeing this, Zhou Xing didn't say anything, and the matter was settled.

"Sister anli, who else hasn't tried the show in the company?" Zhou Xing didn't expect that the resources of female artists were so scarce. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally has to focus on his own family first.

anli said: "Only Wang Zhi is left without audition."

"Wang Zhi? Is she not interested in this drama?" Zhou Xing said in confusion.

anli shook her head: "Have she been busy filming [Hong Kong Empress] recently."

Zhou Xing then remembered that Wang Zhi was stuffed into the [Hong Kong Empress] crew after [Sha Po Lang 2], playing Yang Yi, the character Xu Lai's first love.

"The role of Yang Yi doesn't have many scenes in total. Let her take the time to read the script. Director Chen will try the drama remotely and see how she plays Guan Juer. Of course, whether it's OK or not, Director Chen has the final say. I just suggest." Zhou Xing scratched his head a little, and there were five heroines in a play, but in the end his company only got two, and they all had fewer scenes.

Chen Mingzhang nodded. If he was in another company, he would agree without saying a word. After all, the boss had spoken. However, after staying in "Zhixing Film and Television" for so many years, he also knew about Zhou Xing's temper and knew that he was not just talking. Moreover, the company adopted a floating salary system, which means that everyone's salary is not high. Whether they can make money depends entirely on the project. Everyone can get rich bonuses when the project makes money. If they don't make money or lose money, they don't have a dime, and they have to hold a summary meeting to summarize the problems in front of all project teams.

It can be said that the project team, from producers to external contacts, keeps a close eye on every project, even if he wants to let the water go, others will protest, after all, this is related to the interests of the project team owners.

"Director Chen, the other three roles, if you have any suitable actors in your mind, you can communicate with Anli. It is best to sign in to the company, so that you can't get rich and don't go to outsiders."

After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he burst into laughter in the conference room.

Chen Mingzhang frowned slightly: "I think the character of Andy is more in line with the image and temperament of Li Xiaoran and Wang Likun. Qu Xiaoxiao... Actually, I think the newly signed Chen Yao in our company is good, but I don't know if the schedule can catch up. Fan Shengmei... Jiang Qin is quite suitable for this role..."

anli frowned slightly: "Chen Yao is filming [Great Times], it should be finished at the end of next month. I can catch up, but Director Chen is sure that her image and temperament fit the role of Qu Xiaoxiao?"

Zhou Xing also looked at Chen Mingzhang in confusion. [Master Wuxin] is currently on the air. Chen Yao's image of Yue Qiluo's dark loli can be said to be deeply rooted in people's hearts. I don't know where Chen Mingzhang saw that she is suitable for playing Qu Xiaoxiao.

Chen Mingzhang said: "There is no basis, it's just a feeling. Sister Anli might as well send her the script to see what she thinks."

On the other hand, the crew of [Good Times], Chen Yaozheng chatted with Han Dongjun. They were very familiar with each other when they were in the "Tangren" before, and they filmed two movies together, so they naturally became friends.

"Oh, I am still the male lead in the last drama, you are the second female lead, but in the end, you succeeded in becoming the female lead, and I became the third male lead." Han Dongjun's words were full of envy.

Chen Yaoxi laughed and took the water cup from her assistant Zhang Qian and took a sip: "Stop talking about you, in fact, on the crew of [Wuxin Mage], when you said that the male lead in the next drama [Great Times] was Brother Hu, I was stunned."

"Oh, if I had known that Zhixing Film and Television was so powerful, I was..."

While he was talking, assistant Zhang Qian handed another document to Chen Yao: "The company just faxed it here and said you can take a look."

"What? What's the contract? It's so thick." Han Dongjun asked curiously.

Chen Yao opened it and found that it was a script, so he looked at Zhang Qian in surprise.

Zhang Qian shrugged: "Sister Anli said, Director Chen thinks your image and temperament are more suitable for the role of Qu Xiaoxiao, so you can read the script first."
