This Emperor is Only An Actor

Once the script is written, it is natural to choose actors.

If you're making a TV series, how are you going to make it? It's impossible to choose so many top supporting actors like in The Immortal Qin Empire, right? Mo Xiangwan asked.

Yue Guan nodded: Of course it's impossible. Although I always say that TV dramas and movies are equal, in fact they are definitely not equal.

The announcement of a blockbuster project like The Immortal Qin Empire can make Miracle's stock price soar, a TV series does not have such weight.

In Yue Guan's eyes, ordinary movies are indeed not that different from TV dramas, but blockbuster movies definitely have special treatment.

Let's configure it according to the top resources in the TV industry, and don't compare it with movies. Yue Guan said.

Mo Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief: In this case, it's actually very simple. Your play is still robbed by many people. How many main roles do you need for this play?

The main roles are basically decided, Yue Guan said.

Mo Xiangwan: ...you did so many things behind my back?

The main reason is that since the plot is linked, many actors will naturally have to be connected with Fengshen, so as not to prevent the audience from acting. I made an agreement with Chen Kun, the Taishang Laojun will still come.

Mo Xiangwan blinked: Did you give him drugs? A TV series is coming as soon as you say it, and he listens to you like that? Yueguan, I warn you, stay away from him. Chen Kun There has been no scandal with any female celebrity for so many years, so there is obviously a problem.

Who said it hasn't been rumored? He and Zhou Xun, Ni Ni, and Zhao Zhetian have both been rumored.

Mo Xiangwan: Don't talk back, you know what I mean.

I know, I know, Sister Xiang Wan, calm down, Chen Kun owes me a big favor, this is to repay the favor, he still wants to give me this little face, after all, the role of the master of the Xianmen sect before made him take a lot of money. Cheap.

There is no psychological pressure on Yueguan to ask Chen Kun to return favors.

Chen Kun is actually a little behind among the top stars of the Mesozoic era, especially in recent years. Other top stars of the Mesozoic era are either unbeatable at the box office, or create miracles by themselves. Even the leader can win a few more film stars. , but Chen Kun's hot searches are more and more warnings about frozen age, youth, and appearance...

When a middle-aged actor starts marketing his appearance, it is actually similar to a middle-aged actor's marketing efforts. To some extent, it has explained his lack of strength in his career.

Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, Shen Teng and the others will also be on the hot search and publish drafts, but who of them will rush to post drafts for their appearance or work hard?

Chen Kun's background is not worse than them, but his momentum and prospects are obviously worse than them. In this case, he won the biggest villain boss in the Fengshen series, and he was still the boss of the entire series until the end of Fengshen 3. The ceiling combat power, even he himself did not think of it.

Although there was Wu Ershan's strong recommendation, it was definitely Yueguan who made the final decision.

Chen Kun owes him too much.

Human relationship, there are comings and goings, so we can continue to get along.

Therefore, it is normal for Yue Guanli to accept some favors. If he does not accept this favor, Chen Kun will really panic. That means that Yueguan is not going to use him again after using him once, which is not a good thing for him anyway.

Hearing what Yue Guan said, Mo Xiangwan nodded: That's right, Chen Kun should be wishing for more plays with you. After all, he is not a well-rounded star, and he still needs resources. By the way , Yueguan, do you have any objections to Huang Bo?

Yue Guan was startled: What opinion do I have on Huang Boyeng? I have never worked with him before, so I definitely have no opinion.

It's because you haven't worked with him. You have worked with most of the top stars of the Mesozoic era, but you have never met Huang Bo. It is rumored in the industry that you don't like him. Mo Xiangwan said.

Yue Guan: ... Isn't this too outrageous?

The entertainment industry has always been a place to spread rumors. Besides, you have never worked with Huang Bo before. Many people naturally think too much.

I didn't have any scenes that were suitable for him before, and none of his scenes were suitable for me. Isn't it normal not to cooperate? There must be more stars in the entertainment industry that I have not worked with than the stars that I have worked with. Do I think they are also Not pleasing to the eye? Some people are really boring, and this kind of thing is counted.”

It's because your status is too high now. Sometimes you don't have that meaning yourself, and many people below will make up a lot of meanings. Mo Xiangwan said.

Yue Guan: ...

It's not my fault that I was too successful.

Having said that, there is actually another reason why he didn't cooperate with Huang Bo:

Huang Bo hangs out with Ning Hao and the others. The Stone Gang has been copied by Huayu's novels. Huang Bo and Ning Hao are basically the sons of fate in Huayu's novels, but 99% of the protagonists in Huayu's novels have to hug their thighs.

But their style doesn't really match Yueguan.

Yue Guan has always felt that Ning Hao is the kind of director who plays the niche style to the extreme, but what Yue Guan pursues is the general public.

The former has a lot of praise and is easy to produce diehard fans, but the upper limit is low and it is difficult to break through.

In the previous life, Crazy Alien was released during the Spring Festival of 2019. It was directed by Ning Hao and starred by Huang Bo + Shen Teng + Xu Zheng.

Instead, The Wandering Earth exploded on Crazy Alien.

If Yue Guan is shooting niche-style dramas, especially black humor dramas, there is nothing wrong with cooperating with Ning Hao.

For other styles of play, Yue Guan is not very inclined to find Ning Hao.

However, Huang Bo and Ning Hao have cooperated too much. Although they can act in everything, being omnipotent means that there is no irreplaceable place. When considering roles in many dramas before Yueguan, they considered the roles from the entire entertainment circle, but Huang Bo did not. Appeared in his consideration range.

Sometimes it is too versatile, and it is easy to miss many opportunities, because many roles require non-disciplinary actors.

There is nothing Yueguan can do about it. The styles are different, and they must not be forcibly merged, lest the audience feel awkward.

I thought about it, and it seems that The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven doesn't have a suitable role for Huang Bo. Yue Guan said.

Huang Bo's temperament and image don't fit well with mythological dramas.

Of course, Yue Guan definitely believes that he can act well.

Again, yes, but not necessary.

Mo Xiangwan said: Even if there is a supporting role in a TV series, we can't let him play a supporting role, but in the future, our company will have a movie that is suitable for Huang Bo and ask you to take the initiative to make an appointment, so as not to make enemies for no reason.

It's very difficult for our company to have a movie suitable for Huang Bo. Huang Bo is best at portraying small characters, but the box office ceiling of this kind of movie is too low, and our company generally doesn't make it. Yue Guan said truthfully: But if he If you want to be a director, our company can invest in it.

After all, the box office of A Good Show is still good.

Sister Xiang Wan, I actually don't have to care so much about what the outside world thinks of me now, do I?

You don't need to care about it, but if someone uses this to deliberately target others because you don't like it, it will have a bad impact on your reputation. Mo Xiangwan said.

Yue Guan was startled: Is it so serious?

The entertainment industry is a place of intrigue. People sit at home, and there are too many things that come from the sky. Fortunately, you let me worry. In the past, I was tired of helping the artists under me to deal with these messy things.

After all, he is a gold medal agent in the industry, and Mo Xiangwan has a better understanding of the entertainment industry than Yue Guan.

Yue Guan shook his head: I'm such a pure person, it's really not suitable for the entertainment industry.

Mo Xiangwan: ...

Forget it, you are handsome, and you are right in everything you say.

She was too lazy to despise it.

The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven doesn't need a large-scale audition? Mo Xiangwan asked concerned.

Yue Guan made a simple calculation: The Taishang Laojun will let Chen Kun continue to act. If the Tathagata comes, I prefer to let Heizi do it.

Mo Xiangwan reacted in an instant: Playing the sunless sunspot in Journey to the West?

Yes, let him continue playing the role of Tathagata. Prepare two looks for him. Tathagata is shining like gold, and the world is destroyed in black clothes. Give him both roles, and there is no need to find another actor.

The Wutian played by Heizi won a lot of praise before, and the successful things don't need to be changed.

The Queen Mother still let Yang Xue play the role, and it's easy.

The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven also needs to shoot a conspiracy version of Journey to the West, so a Monkey King is needed. The Monkey King played by Ding Jian in Journey to the West is also well received by the audience, so it is fine to continue to use him. Of course, if the sixth teacher is willing , In fact, I don’t have any objections to Teacher Six.”

Teacher Liu's reputation in the past two years has not been as good as the previous two years.

Since the media has become more and more developed, Mr. Six has more opportunities to show his face, but his emotional intelligence has not improved, and overturning is naturally a common thing.

Feelings are all used for worship, once the feelings come into reality, they are not worth much.

Therefore, Teacher Six's reputation took a turn for the worse.

However, the show operation of selling movies in the mourning hall has not yet been released, and there is still a rescue.

Mo Xiangwan shook his head and said, It's better not to look for Sixth Teacher. The cost-effectiveness of Sixth Teacher is not as high as Ding Jian's. In the past two years, Sixth Teacher has been chasing Zhou Xingchi and scolding him, which has ruined a lot of his popularity.

Teacher Six thinks that the Monkey King he plays is orthodox, and Zhou Xingchi's Supreme Treasure is tarnishing the image of Monkey King. Sun Wukong cannot fall in love, otherwise he will apologize to the people of the whole country.

Again, he can actually think so, but he has no right to instill his ideas to the world.

After all, the copyright of Journey to the West is not his.

Netizens understand this truth, but Teacher Six doesn't.

So Teacher Six was ridiculed by the crowd.

Yue Guan was still very sad about this.

Sister Xiang Wan, in fact, I have always admired Teacher Six. Yue Guan said seriously.

Mo Xiangwan looked at Yue Guan strangely: Really? Why didn't I see that you are chasing stars? I never found out which star you like.

I really don't have a celebrity I like, but I still respect Teacher Liu from the bottom of my heart.

No irony?

Absolutely not.

What's the reason?

I have used money to throw money at many people before, and most of them succeeded. The Russo brothers, the directors of The Avengers, were all thrown down by me. But I failed when I used the same method on Teacher Liu. , the sixth teacher rejected me with righteous words, and did not bow down for five buckets of rice.

When Yue Guan said this, his tone was a bit embarrassing: The trick of throwing money has been tried and tested, and I failed once on Teacher Six. Sister Xiang Wan, do you think Teacher Six is ​​awesome?

Mo Xiangwan: It's a bit awesome, a true people's artist, but the sixth teacher is famously not allowed to adapt Journey to the West. You couldn't afford him before, and now it's even more impossible.

It's hard to say. Teacher Six has been saying that he and Chou Guo co-produced a Journey to the West before, but it hasn't been released yet. I suspect that he was fooled. Now Teacher Six has nothing to film. It’s time to invite him, maybe we can really bring him here.”

Mo Xiangwan shook his head: No, Journey to the West in The Legend of the Emperor of Heaven and the original adaptation of Journey to the West must be very big. The sixth teacher is clearly opposed to this, and he will definitely not slap himself in the face.

Yue Guan really wanted to try it.

He believed that he had the ability to convince Teacher Six.

However, Mo Xiangwan said that the price-performance ratio of the sixth teacher is really not high now, and there is no need to do useless work at all.

Since Mo Xiangwan insisted, Yueguan no longer had bad tastes, and directly gave Sun Wukong to Ding Jian.

After the main roles are determined, the only actor who needs to be carefully selected is the saint who broke the seal from the West. Sister Xiang Wan, just help me choose an actor who looks kind and good-natured.

There are too many actors in the entertainment industry who can play this kind of role well, Yue Guan is not worried about this.

Mo Xiangwan didn't think it was a big problem, but she still asked: Are there any other requirements for this role?

It's best to be able to act with a high personality. Don't be too down-to-earth. After all, it is the setting of a Buddhist sage. If you are too sloppy, it will be too dramatic.

Only these requirements?

only these.

That's really not difficult. I'll help you choose as soon as possible, and start shooting after the next year?

Yes, the filming will start after the year, and it will be too late before the year. I have other things to do. Even if it is the year after the year, I have to wait until February of the lunar calendar. I still have New World to be released during the Spring Festival.

The reason why Wang Jing filmed New World so quickly was because it was scheduled for next year's Spring Festival.

After all, the market for the Spring Festival stalls is the highest in a year.

And Yue Guan, as the leading actor of New World, naturally wants to promote it with the group.

So if he spares time, it will definitely be February of next year's lunar calendar.

It also happens that the actors are selected in advance, so that the actors can get familiar with the script first.

Are the other actors you just mentioned done?

Most of them have been taken care of, and there are still a few people who need me to go there myself, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

That's good. The crew of New World recently contacted me. I want you to follow up with the publicity. Remember to tell me about your private arrangements in advance so that I can plan your itinerary for you.

Understood, but the publicity matter has to be postponed for a while. I will be busy with my screenwriting award in the next few days.

Speaking of the screenwriting award, Yue Guan, don't forget the film I supervised this year.

Don't worry, I reminded you of that play, so it's impossible to forget.
