Chapter 205 Prying the corner
In this way, everything is ready except for the east wind.
Du Sheng recommended Yang Mi from his studio to play the second female role Lin Yueru, and Liu Shishi to play the third female role Anu without much resistance.
But since there are repeated recommended competitors, everything still depends on the internal audition.
However, Du Sheng has some confidence in the two women.
On the one hand, he made the final decision to help Yao Zhuangxian "confirm" the female lead, and personally called Liu Yifei, who had agreed to play the role.
In order to repay him, Yao Zhuangxian must have shown some invisible favoritism.
Secondly, we can also strive for Zhong Zhen, and even if we fail, the two sides can still exchange resources.
Anyway, we will still be working together in the future, so I will still give you this little bit of face.
Finally, among the two girls, Yang Mi played Xiao Zhao in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", which will surely bring a lot of popularity when it is released.
Her acting skills are passable, and she is currently taking further studies while continuing her studies. She also fits the description of Lin Yueru as "gifted, intelligent and clever".
As long as there isn't too much internal competition, she's pretty much a sure bet.
Worthy of mention is Liu Shishi.
Since their last separation in Hong Kong, she followed Du Sheng's advice and found an acting class to take.
After filming "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" last time, Du Sheng asked her to meet and found that she had indeed changed a lot.
Considering that if he didn't dig this treasure, someone else would, he simply signed her into the studio just like he had signed Yang Mi before.
It is only natural to put training on the agenda.
Anu is set to be innocent and cute, young but smart, and quietly has a crush on Li Xiaoyao, silently giving selflessly without regrets...
These also fit with Liu Shishi's own elegant and peaceful temperament.
Of course, if she really can't get the third female role, she can play the butterfly fairy 'Cai Yi', or the fox demon 'Nu Yuan'.
The supporting actresses in this drama are all quite outstanding, so there is no need to worry about not being able to rise in the future.
With the previous preparation and cooperation for "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber", the signing process this time was relatively smooth.
Before Du Sheng left, he suddenly remembered something and smiled at Zhong Zhen:
"Sister Zhen, I have something to discuss with you. Please wait a moment."
After so many collaborations between the two sides, their relationship has naturally improved.
Calling him Mr. Zhong or something like that would obviously be out of place.
Besides, this rich woman was so pleasing to the eyes today that Lala was almost in a good mood.
"What else?"
Zhong Zhen paused in surprise, then sat down again with a half-smile:
"You're not asking me to agree to let your two little girls join the group, are you? This is difficult to do without some benefits."
Today she was wearing a navy blue OL suit skirt, shiny flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of stiletto high heels. She looked dignified and elegant, giving off the image of a queen.
Speaking of which, since Zhongyao Pictures expanded its filming business, it has also signed several artists.
For example, the second male lead Peng Yuyan who was just discussed and Xie Junhao who plays the Drunken Swordsman, are both from Zhongyao.
Especially Peng Yuyan. After Zhong Zhen learned that Du Sheng had opened a studio, he made him a key training target.
According to her, they may sign a girl named Tang who was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama last year later.
Therefore, no matter how good the relationship between friends is, there is still competition.
"Sister Zhen, what else do you want? I just fully agreed with your nomination."
Du Sheng looked at this beautiful and elegant wealthy woman and pretended to be distressed:
"Besides promising myself to you, I can't offer you anything else. You can choose."
He knew that Zhongyao did not have any capable female artist, so he was not worried about competition at all.
What we are going to discuss this time is also the issue of relevant resources.
"Stop playing around and get down to business."
After the two sides became familiar with each other, Zhong Zhen was used to this kind of joke:
"Besides, you have to go to Guangfu to attend a new clothing product launch soon. Do you have time to chat with me?"
The new product of 'Kung Fu School' will be launched tomorrow, and her Zhongjia Trading is also among the invited distributors.
Seeing that the greetings were almost over, Du Sheng smiled and got straight to the point:
"Sister Zhen, haven't you always wanted to expand the scale of Zhongyao Pictures? Now there is an opportunity in front of you."
Zhong Zhen knew that the man in front of him was the type who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit, so he thought:
"Tell me."
Du Sheng narrated:
"You should have heard of the company that Shuang Bing belongs to, 'Huayi Taihe Films'.
The situation in this company has been quite delicate recently, with conflicts arising internally.
The Mainland's top agent intends to start a new business and will lead a group of artists to leave.
They are all outstanding performers in the domestic entertainment industry. Do you want to contact them?"
In the entertainment industry, artists and investors always complement each other.
Artists who lack capital support will inevitably have their development path limited.
And it is difficult for an investment agency to stand out without outstanding artists.
For Wang Jinhua, she does have many high-quality artists under her, but she is still weak in terms of funding, connections, and background.
This was also her original intention in choosing to join hands with the big and small kings.
Choosing to part ways with Huayi Company is a cautious decision for both parties.
Du Sheng was not sure what the situation was between Wang Jinhua and the two Wangs, but it was obvious that Wang Jinhua would not easily choose to break up with Huayi unless she had no other choice.
But this is also welcome news.
He has always hoped that the domestic entertainment industry would not repeat the same corrupt state as in the past.
Huayi, the dominant jackal, is one of the causes.
Zhong Zhen is naturally no stranger to Huayi. As a member of the film and television industry, she has even collaborated with Wang Zhongjun several times.
News about Wang Jinhua's solo career occasionally circulated in upper-class circles, but this was the first time she heard the real reason.
The other party was known as the top agent in the country, so she naturally knew about it. If she could sign actors of the same level as Shuang Bing, not to mention opening up the market, Zhongyao Pictures could even directly transform!
But the premise of all this is that the information provided by Du Sheng is true and that the cooperation between the two parties can be truly realized.
"Are you sure you can win him over?"
"Wang Jinhua is in a state of panic right now. As long as you have ideas, it shouldn't be a big problem if we talk about it."
Although Du Sheng only made a simple introduction between the two parties, his role was crucial.
Moreover, there had long been some kind of tacit understanding between him and Fan Bingbing.
From a certain perspective, this is also paving the way for the future of both parties.
"We can find an opportunity to sit down and talk."
Looking at Du Sheng who was becoming more and more like a general, Zhong Zhen felt quite complicated.
At first she planned to win him over to take charge, but she didn't expect that now she is being used as a lobbyist by the other party.
There is really no way to reason about this.
As for cooperating with Wang Jinhua, would it anger the two Wangs?
There is never any warmth, affection or laughter in business matters.
Everything depends on who has stronger resources and background.
Everything else is false.
Du Sheng is in a good mood as he hopes to promote the cooperation between Zhong Zhen and Wang Jinhua.
If this can be accomplished, we can plan ahead for the layout of theater chains.
.........
Cantonese, Yangcheng.
That afternoon, Zheng Zetao arrived at the airport early and picked up Du Sheng:
"This new product launch event is scheduled at Goldlion's headquarters, which is a follow-up promotion for 'Kung Fu School'. It's a good time for us to go there now."
"There will be reporters and paparazzi coming in, just keep smiling and try not to get in touch with them..."
Du Sheng asked a few questions, put on sunglasses and a mask, and sat in the back seat of the car to rest for a while.
The new product launch event is scheduled to be held at 4: p.m. on Saturday in the large square of Goldlion’s headquarters.
In fact, the process of artists releasing new products is just that, interacting with fans, answering questions with the host, meeting with distribution agents, shaking hands with fans, signing autographs, etc.
The car slowly arrived at the entrance of the square. Du Sheng turned his head and found that many reporters were taking pictures nearby.
This should be a promotion done by the Zheng family in advance.
There were already many fans stationed on both sides of the road, and the scene was quite lively.
After driving about ten meters, he saw a long queue of people holding lavender cheering signs.
Most of them are girls, hundreds of them.
Du Sheng looked at the scene in front of him and felt deeply moved.
In his previous life, he had fantasies when he saw those popular stars being surrounded by everyone.
But I never thought that this extravagant wish would be realized in such a capacity and in such a way.
The world is mysterious and truly wonderful beyond imagination.
However, since we are living in the present, whether it is for dreams or fame and fortune, we should strive for and seize the present.
When Du Sheng saw the fans paying attention to this side, he couldn't help but smile and wave to greet them.
"what--"
"Brother Sheng, I see Brother Sheng, hurry up!"
Seeing the vehicle entering the venue and Du Sheng still smiling and waving, the surrounding fans instantly became excited, and many of them were so excited that they were like chicken blood.
These fans are mostly young girls, and their shrill voices are so loud that they almost pierce everyone's eardrums.
Especially after Du Sheng got off the car, when they saw this once untouchable figure up close, they were so excited that their faces turned red.
So handsome!
What a temperament!
He is indeed a Kung Fu star!
In an instant, countless fans excitedly surrounded them holding cheering signs.
Some girls who were organized together lit up their cheering signs and put them together to form a super large light sign.
Two lines of large characters flashed on it, and then a chorus of voices shouted:
"The music never stops, the stars never fade"
"Holding the hand of the sheng, accompanying you forever"
Their movements were in unison and their slogans were loud and powerful.
If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, you really don’t know what it means to be spectacular and what it means to get your blood boiling!
Tang Jiayi is a freshman studying business management at a university in Yangcheng.
Maybe because he comes from a rural background, he is a bit shy and has not joined any clubs at school. In his free time, he just watches TV series and variety shows.
Speaking of which, when she first watched "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", she liked Ling Zhiying the most and felt that his smile was particularly innocent and handsome.
I just kept following the show, and after seeing the very special Murong Fu, I suddenly felt that my cousin could be so attractive!
Gradually, she began to climb the wall.
One time, she saw on the hot search comments related to Du Sheng that the Du Sheng Q group fan club was officially created, and she applied to join without thinking.
She had few friends in Guangzhou, but after joining the group, she suddenly felt like she had found a confidant.
She would read all the comments about Du Sheng in the group, and occasionally reply to some newcomers' questions. Before she knew it, she had become the manager of six groups.
The day before yesterday, Weibo administrator Xu Yao updated her travel status in the group and was very happy to learn that Du Sheng was coming to attend the new product launch of "Kung Fu School".
They started planning early in the morning and organized the sisters to come to the scene.
I heard that in addition to the discounts for buying new products, the first 500 people can get Du Sheng's autographed photos, and the first 1000 people will also get small gifts...
