Chapter 137: Appearance Must Exceed Standard

However, it is said that it takes two hands to clap.

Zhongyao Pictures, which is a joint venture partner of the film together with A-Fantasy, has a different view.

Zhong Zhen did not agree immediately, but said that they needed to wait and see.

This seems to suggest that there are some other factors that need to be weighed.

In fact, Zhong Zhen was quite satisfied with Su Youpeng, but she had a bet with Du Sheng.

"Dragon Goddess" has not only broken 4, it is almost breaking 6.

Moreover, Zhong Zhen also has his eyes on its audio and video copyright, so he must give Du Sheng an explanation.

This made it very difficult for her.

Yahuan Company and the director were quite satisfied with Su Youpeng in all aspects, after all, the popularity of the Little Tigers was there.

Miracle Studios also agreed to follow suit, which could ease her investment pressure.

No matter how politely you refuse, you will offend people.

The same applies to Lai Shuiqing.

Although the birth of this version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was the result of his purchase of the copyright and his full efforts and running around.

But this is a patchwork film, and he has no say over other aspects.

In fact, what everyone didn’t know was that Su Youpeng was also hesitating.

On the one hand, he hoped that "Princess Qing" Wang Yan could play Zhou Zhiruo, but the crew's funds did not allow it.

On the other hand, I just can’t let go of my obsession with the movie.

One of the producers + friends invited me again. I had agreed to give it another try before, but I got cold feet at the last minute...

That night, at the Misty Teahouse.

As the initiators of Miracle Studio, Ye Jingzhi and Du Sheng arrived first.

"Ah Sheng, you really look up to me after three days of absence!"

Not long after, Ju Jueliang walked into the private room with a smile and made a joke.

As a Hong Kong native, how could he not know how much trouble Du Sheng had caused in Hong Kong.

Although he knew very well that the other party would make a big splash sooner or later, he did not expect that he would rise so quickly.

According to this trend, they will all become first-tier stars next year.

It simply breaks the rules of promotion in the entertainment industry.

"Director Ju is the same, too. He quietly directed a 20 million drama, and I haven't even congratulated you yet."

Du Sheng greeted with a smile, and nodded to the wealthy woman Zhong Zhen who came later.

"It's a pity that you can't do two things at once, otherwise you would have to play the leading role anyway."

Ju Jueliang was indeed in a good mood at the moment, and he even made the invitation in a teasing manner.

When Zhong Zhen sat down, his expression was a little complicated.

She knew very well that Du Sheng was unlikely to join "Against the Cold Wind", and she would never have much chance to recruit this great general for her own use.

The reason is simple: the other party’s studio has already been established.

In addition, the male lead of "Against the Cold" has been basically selected, and the second male lead has been promised to a friend of the investor in Wancheng, and it has also been basically confirmed that Zhong Hanliang will play the role.

Apart from these two roles, the other roles are not many and not very outstanding.

The most important thing is that the person in front of him doesn't seem willing to be inferior to others.

Sure enough, Du Sheng clenched his wrist and sighed:

"Director Ju, if you hadn't told me earlier, I wouldn't have been able to get on the plane, and I would have had to fly back in time."

Ye Jingzhi smiled, knowing that this was just a joke between acquaintances.

She also understood that there was a reason why her partner had risen so quickly.

In fact, Du Sheng was also weighing the options in his mind.

The male lead in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and the second male lead in "Against the Current".

How to choose between these two dramas?
If the shooting schedule overlaps, there is actually no hesitation.

Anyone would choose "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Lai Shuiqing's version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has great influence and money-making ability, and is hailed as a timeless classic.

Even after twenty years, it is still rebroadcast from time to time by major TV stations, and its ratings are still good.

In fact, before this, Jin Yong's novel had already been adapted into two movie versions and five TV versions.

But due to the limitations of the background and shooting technology at the time, these versions are a bit rough in some aspects.

Especially the first two versions, they simply built a scene, put up a green screen, and started shooting.

On the contrary, TVB, which has always been known for its frugality, actually prepared more than 20 sets of costumes for the two female protagonists when it remade this drama two years ago, which can be said to be a huge investment.

In fact, as long as you are willing to invest, the feedback on your work will be really good.

After the show was broadcast, the two female protagonists in this version were considered to be the interpretation closest to the original work, and won the favor of the majority of audiences.

It is currently being rebroadcast on Qiongfu Satellite TV, with the highest ratings reaching 5.1%. It is said that other TV stations are also considering purchasing it.

This is also the reason why Yahuan Company does not dare to make a big bet.

However, Du Sheng has the memory of his past life, so as long as Lai Shuiqing's version is roughly the same, it will be easy for the ratings to exceed 6.

Ye Jingzhi once mentioned that casting has begun since the joint venture filming was confirmed.

Now it has basically been finalized, except for a few supporting roles.

In the play, Zhao Min, played by Jia Jingwen, and Zhou Zhiruo, played by Gao Yuanyuan, have not changed.

This is also a guarantee for the show's ratings.

Anyone who has read the original novel can easily see that Jin Yong prefers Zhao Min.

His description of Zhao Min's beauty was extremely detailed, even praising her hair and nails.
The power of this description even exceeds that of Huang Rong.

Therefore, no matter which version of the TV series, the character of Zhao Min can always attract a large number of fans.

Among them, the best is played by Jia Jingwen.

Of course, Gao Yuanyuan also has many fans.

Even the actresses who played Yin Susu, Xiao Zhao, Yang Buhui and other supporting roles also gained a large number of loyal fans. As for the male lead Zhang Wuji, he is a real hero and his treatment is needless to say.

This is also the reason why Du Sheng strives to win it.

What's more, the two male protagonists of "Against the Cold" have yet to be determined, so there is no need to think too much about it.

Moreover, even if there is a similar selection of the Four Beauties of the World in the future, he already has the representative "Dragon Goddess" Sai Hua Tuo, so there is no need to lose sight of one while focusing on the other.

After a brief greeting, Wei Yongan, general manager of Yahuan Company, and director Lai Shuiqing also arrived.

They have been in Zhejiang Province recently to discuss investment matters.

"Is this Xiao Du? He is young and promising!"

When Lai Shuiqing entered the room, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Come to think of it, he was still a little hesitant about whether to join in the fun tonight.

After all, I already have someone, and it’s hard to convince myself to reject Su Youpeng.

But the moment he raised his eyes, the handsome and sunny face that came into view immediately ignited his interest.

Anyone who has worked with Lai Shuiqing knows that there is a hard requirement for casting:
That is, the appearance must exceed the standard.

In his mind, acting skills can be improved through constant practice, but appearance and temperament are difficult to change.

Therefore, for every play, he tends to choose actors with outstanding looks and temperament.

This can be seen from the cast of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

The reason why he fell in love with Su Youpeng at first sight was not only because he had the popularity of the Little Tigers behind him, but also because of his appearance.

And Gao Yuanyuan too.

The reason why she was chosen to play Zhou Zhiruo was not because of her outstanding acting skills or nepotism, but because of her stunning appearance.

The same goes for other supporting characters.

For example, the Emei Sect is full of beautiful women, and the Seven Heroes of Wudang are all handsome.

Although Lai Shuiqing had seen Du Sheng in ancient costume, he was still amazed when he saw him in person:
'In terms of appearance and figure, she is no less beautiful than Su Youpeng.

And he even brought money into the group, no wonder Zhong Zhen values ​​him so much.'

Ye Jingzhi observed their expressions and, while smiling, invited them to take a seat, she also introduced Du Sheng.

"Ah Sheng, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Wei from Yahuan, and this is Director Lai..."

Du Sheng naturally would not hold back, he stood up and greeted with a smile:
"Boss Wei, Director Lai, I have heard of your great names for a long time."

All the people were present, and after some polite exchanges, they got down to business.

Zhong Zhen spoke first and looked at Wei Yongan:
"Boss Wei, Director Lai, before we start the discussion, there is something I would like to hear from you."

Wei Yongan and Lai Shuiqing looked at each other, their hearts trembled, and they smiled:

"Please speak up, Mr. Zhong."

It is obviously not a trivial matter for Zhong Zhen to mention it so seriously.

Is there something wrong with the investment again?
Thinking of this, Lai Shuiqing raised his eyebrows.

This is what he least wants to hear right now, because the funds have not been officially delivered yet and there are too many variables.

It is indeed related to investment.

And Zhong Zhen's words made him even more hesitant.

"You should know that Zhongyao is going to launch two dramas this year, and the investment in each drama is more than 2000 million. In order to reduce some of the burden——"

Seeing the two people's faces change slightly, Zhong Zhen paused for a moment with amusement in his heart, looked at Du Sheng and said:
"I decided to give all the investment shares to Miracle Studio, and it will be shared equally among the three companies."

"This……"

Lai Shuiqing was startled, glanced at Du Sheng, and his expression became more complicated.

Wei Yongan took in everyone's reactions and said calmly:

"This is a good thing, and it is very welcome."

As long as they don't withdraw from the cooperation or let their Ahuan family take over, everything will be negotiable.

What's more, it was just a matter of allocating shares among Zhongyao, and did not involve Yahuan at all, so of course he agreed with both hands.

As for what Lai Shuiqing thinks, there is nothing we can do about it.

In fact, Zhong Zhen's bias is already very obvious.

The other party is even friends with Miracle Studios, so it is basically clear who will be the leading actor.

To be honest, ever since seeing Du Sheng's image and the current heated discussion, Wei Yongan's mind has gradually changed.

Su Youpeng's popularity is indeed higher than Du Sheng's, but that was two years ago.

At present, a lot of it has been squandered by Su Youpeng himself.

And his figure is a bit... in front of the female protagonists.

"Shuiqing, what do you think?"

Wei Yongan tried his best to make his tone calm and not too personal:
"Ah Sheng's acting skills are beyond words. His current popularity and image are both in line with the role's requirements. Do you think we should make some changes?"

As for bringing capital into the group, there is no need to mention it at all, you can be said to be the investor yourself.

Lai Shuiqing could tell that his teammates had betrayed him, but he still felt unwilling to do so:

"Brother Wei, you know that I have already promised Su Youpeng, and the remuneration has been negotiated.

Now he suddenly asks me to withdraw it. How do you want me to explain it to him?

Besides, this will also affect the reputation and credibility of our crew."

Wei Yongan laughed and refused to accept this excuse:
"Yeah, after all, we are paid to do this job, and sometimes we really can't do everything we want."

He was implicitly reminding people that workers can't change anything when it comes to capital.

If Lai Shuiqing wasn't also the investor and director, he wouldn't bother talking nonsense.

Lai Shuiqing didn't say anything, but just sat there helplessly.

Ye Jingzhi flipped through the staff list that was about to be drawn up, and suddenly counted the numbers, as if indicating something:

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Wei, it should be our mainland investment that dominates this drama.
The show is mainly broadcast in the mainland, so why are all the main actors from Taiwan? "
