Chapter 111: Failure, Why Are You Calm?
Actors are actually very passive, they are always chosen, but Lin Feng has already jumped out of this category.
Not only do they have a say, they have also become decision-makers who can determine whether a project can proceed smoothly.
Although "Zhu Xian" is just a fairy tale idol drama, the investment in its production is nearly 3 million yuan, which is definitely a big production.
Being an actor to this level is really self-sufficient. This is the top star. You can reach this level in everything. Yang Zi is really envious.
What made Yang Zi even more envious was that when Lin Feng agreed to officially star in "Zhu Xian", all the staff cheered. The Huanrui employees on the entire floor cheered loudly.
Not to mention the ordinary employees who were in private, even the senior executives of Huanrui became high-spirited. The "Zhu Xian" investment promotion conference that had been delayed for some time was broken into that afternoon.
If a person can achieve this level, it can really be considered a success. He has driven the advancement of the entire project by his own efforts. Lin Feng is now the "spokesperson" of Huanrui!
No wonder Lin Feng alone took up half of the artist profiles on the giant screen at the entrance of Huanrui, and the remaining half was evenly distributed among the other artists.
The big boy who had no sense of existence and was eating skewers and drinking beer at the food stall before graduation has grown into a towering tree who can protect others and create opportunities for others.
Not to mention other people, even Yang Zi herself was a little excited when she heard that Lin Feng was starring in "Zhu Xian".
On the one hand, the "Zhu Xian" project is definitely going to be OK, I will definitely have a drama to shoot, and it is also certain that this will be a drama with very good ratings;
On the other hand, every character in "Zhu Xian" has become popular, and everyone is competing secretly.
Huanrui has just signed quite a few artists, almost 20 people, and the competition for male actors is not very fierce.
After all, "Zhu Xian" is a male-centered drama, and the most important male lead is definitely Lin Feng. The remaining second male, third male, fourth male, etc., at least in terms of their roles, do not have very obvious differences.
But the situation is different for the actresses, because there is still a role of "Lu Xueqi" that has not been decided. She is one of the heroines, and can even be said to be the first heroine.
Although "Zhu Xian" is divided into two seasons, the heroine in the first season 36 episodes is "Bi Yao", and the heroine in the second season 24 episodes is "Lu Xueqi",
But if we add up the entire "Zhu Xian" series, and count the roles, "Lu Xueqi" is definitely the first female lead.
After all, Lin Feng demanded respect for the original work, and in the original novel, "Lu Xueqi" was the first female protagonist, not to mention that "Biyao" was offline in the first season, and the rest was just a reminder of the past.
A super IP, a big investment and a big production, an absolute heroine, and she can also act with Lin Feng, what is this!
This is definitely a great opportunity to "rise to fame overnight" and even a chance to change one's destiny! Who wouldn't want it? All the female artists signed by Huanrui are eager to try!
Yang Zi, a graduate of Beijing Film Academy in 92, made her debut in Home with Kids and also starred in the hit drama Battle of Changsha;
Ying Er graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in 88 and was admitted to the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama at the age of 17. In 2012, she won the Huading Award for "Best New Actress" for her role in "Xiao Ju's Spring".
Yuan Bingyan was born in 92 in Shanghai Theatre Academy, and was a classmate of Reba. She acted in the TV version of Ip Man in her sophomore year.
Zhao Yingzi was born in 90 and graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. She became well-known in her junior year for her role in the romantic drama "Because Love Is So Beautiful". She was later known as "Di Mi Meng Za". It can be seen that she is very beautiful.
There are also Zhang Zixi, He Dujuan, etc. These female artists that Huanrui has just signed, weren’t they all well-known actresses before? Don’t they all have some connections behind them?
Everyone was scrambling for this opportunity. Some approached Jiang Lei, some approached Zhong Junyan, and some approached other high-level executives of Huanrui, all hoping to get the role of "Lu Xueqi".
After all, this is Huanrui's own drama. Under the same conditions, they will definitely give priority to their own artists.
Seeing so many people busying around, Yang Zi became a little anxious. She didn't want to miss this opportunity, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she could only worry.
On the contrary, her female agent was a beautiful lady. Seeing Yang Zi so calm, she said excitedly:
"Yang Zi, I know you have it all planned out. Let them do whatever they want. In terms of popularity, appearance, and acting skills, well, putting appearance aside for now, how can they compare to our Yang Zi?
Even in terms of relationships, they are not as good as us. Everyone knows the drama "Zhu Xian". The three people who can really speak highly of it are Zhong Zong, Jiang Lei and Lin Feng.
The most crucial thing is Lin Feng’s opinion. Whoever he chooses to play the leading female role will be the leading female role. Everyone knows this!
Isn't this our greatest strength, we can solve problems without even seeing the blade. Yang Zi, I was right about you!
Now we take down 'Lu Xueqi', and after "Zhu Xian" is broadcast, you will be rich, and we will no longer have to look at other people's faces in the future!"
"Sister Liu, did you misunderstand something? Who said I got the role of 'Lu Xueqi' in 'Zhu Xian'?" Yang Zi thought there might be a misunderstanding and hurried to explain. "No, didn't you tell me that you and Lin Feng were classmates? If you didn't get the role of 'Lu Xueqi', why would you be so calm?" The female agent also felt that something was wrong.
"We are classmates, but we are not in the same class. He is in Class 1 and I am in Class 2. We have only met a few times and are not very familiar with each other. Besides, how did I get the role?" Yang Zi explained.
"Ah! You didn't succeed, you didn't get the role, why are you still so calm? Look at everyone else, they are all jumping up and down, why don't you ask them?
Besides, who cares about the first and second shifts, or whether you are familiar with them or not? Why bother at this moment? As long as you have a connection, you have to use it!"
The female agent said sternly. She was really speechless. She had connections but she didn't use them. She was still calm and pretended to be deep. What was that? Wasn't she a fool?
But Yang Zi couldn't make up her mind to come. She was really not familiar with Lin Feng. She couldn't remember whether they had ever spoken to each other during their four years in college.
Seeing this, the agent was even more speechless, and said directly and seriously:
"Yang Zi, you have to understand the current situation. That person can change your fate with just one sentence, not just your classmate!
Don't think too much about it, just build a relationship and say hello, it may bring you good luck.
Do you want to go through the same experience as before, where you were repeatedly turned away, or even kicked out at night, and even your mother had to take a taxi home with you in the middle of the night? "
After hearing these words and recalling his previous experiences of being rejected, Yang Zi mustered up the courage and decisively called Lin Feng.
The phone just rang, but no one answered.
Now Yang Zi was panicked. She didn't know what to do. She really didn't have the courage to make a second call.
By the way, you can find Zhang Yishan. He and Lin Feng often play basketball and they are very familiar with each other.
