Chapter 1430

"It's really hard to choose an actor now."

In a studio in the capital, a group of people sat around and discussed the issue of casting.

Director Zheng Xiaolong also had a headache.

"South to North" is currently casting, but the right actor cannot be found now.

"Should we try to find Cao Gong for the male lead?"

"With Cao Gong's acting skills, there is absolutely no problem, and he also has traffic and popularity."

"Even if there is no traffic, he is fully capable of doing it with his acting skills."

Another director Liu Zhangmu is considering Cao Gong.

Cao Gong's current status in the domestic entertainment industry is even more popular than Hu Ge back then.

Hu Ge was very popular back then, there is no doubt about that.

But at that time, Hu Ge had a high status in the TV drama circle and was a well-deserved young actor.

But Cao Gong is different. He is not only a popular actor in the TV circle, but he has also been nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Golden Rooster Awards in the film industry.

Not only that, he is also the most popular actor among the post-90s male actors.

Hu Ge only has a high status in the TV circle, but has no achievements in the film industry.

But on the contrary, look at Cao Gong? The cumulative box office has reached 60 billion.

In everyone's opinion, it is only a matter of time for Cao Gong to break through 60 billion.

Just like this, it is enough to show that Cao Gong is more popular, accomplished, and successful than Hu Ge back then.

"Yes, Cao Gong is suitable for this role, but the problem is that he has no schedule."

Zheng Xiaolong certainly thought of Cao Gong. As one of the big guys in the Beijing circle, Zheng Xiaolong had thought about it a long time ago.

He was thinking that Cao Gong would be the most suitable actor to play the role.

Whether it was his appearance, acting skills, or popularity, he was the most suitable candidate.

"Are you sure there is no schedule?" Liu Zhangmu asked uncertainly.

"I didn't ask directly, but I heard about it."

"Cao Gong and Liu Deqi will shoot a movie next year."

"At the same time, I talked to Chen Daoming for a while, and I heard that "Celebrating Yu Nian" will be filmed next year."

"That means Cao Gong will have two works to shoot next year."

It can be seen that Zheng Xiaolong is very concerned about this matter and has seriously considered Cao Gong.

But Cao Gong is too busy and his schedule is not enough.

"But our drama will start shooting in November and December this year, right?"

"It's just in time for winter shooting." Liu Zhangmu wants to shoot in winter.

"I know and understand that it is best to shoot in winter because the background setting is in winter."

"But the problem is that Cao Gong has no schedule in the second half of the year."

"In September, he will start filming the ancient costume fairy puppet drama "Traveling with the Phoenix" with Zhao Liying in Hengdian."

"If our dramaIf it is in Hengdian, then Cao Gong can also act in other dramas."

"Even if it is filmed in Shanghai, Hangzhou, or Suzhou, there is a chance for him to act in other dramas."

"But the key is that our drama will be filmed in Weifang, Shandong."

"The two places are too far apart, and Cao Gong definitely can't run back and forth."

What the producer said was all considering these issues, otherwise Cao Gong would have been asked to act long ago.

Now everyone in the team can only shake their heads helplessly.

However, after discussing for a long time, the chief producer Yuan Lunbin made a good suggestion.

"If the male lead is still undecided, then let's decide on the female lead first."

"What do you think of Guan Xiaotong? She grew up as a child star and is now 25 years old. She is also from our Beijing circle and has good acting skills. In last year's drama "Children of the Qiao Family", she played Qiao Simei very well. ”

“What do you think if we choose her to play the leading female role, Ma Yan?”

The producer suggested Guan Xiaotong to play this role.

Guan Xiaotong is known as the princess of Beijing Circle, which shows her status in Beijing Circle.

But Director Liu Zhangmu said: “I heard that Guan Xiaotong’s temper is not very good?”

“Hehe~ Then you can rest assured, this is definitely a rumor.”

“Of course, maybe she may have a bad temper before, but not now.”

“What is Cao Gong’s identity? As his confidante, if Guan Xiaotong has a bad temper and bullies others, how much impact will this have on Cao Gong if it gets out?”

“Cao Gong is a stock investment master at a young age, and now he is the richest man.”

“If a girlfriend has a bad personality and a bad temper, she will not stay with him for a long time. ”

“For example, Wang Chuyu is said to have been rejected by Cao Gong because of her bad temper and personality. Now that she has changed her personality and temper, it is possible. ”

“If Guan Xiaotong really has a bad temper, it was in the past, not now.”

The producer has learned about it, so he knows that Cao Gong’s requirements for his woman are not excessive.

But in terms of personality, she must be good, not bully others, and not get angry with people around her casually, otherwise it will be spread out and damage her reputation.

At their status, these are more concerned, and Cao Gong is the same.

“Indeed, at present, Guan Xiaotong is a native of our capital. He is indeed more suitable to play this TV series, and his age is also suitable.”

“And Guan Xiaotong has also played a lot of serious dramas. She is indeed competent.”

“Before, I was thinking about whether to choose Jin Chen. "Director Liu Zhangmu said.

"No, Jin Chen is good in everything except being too thin and having a fake nose."

Zheng Xiaolong bluntly pointed this out, and Liu Zhangmu was helpless. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Because when he saw Jin Chen, he also felt that her nose was too plastic surgery.

The nostrils were so small that it felt like she couldn't breathe.

Another point is that she is too thin, so thin that she looks like a skeleton. It really doesn't look good in the photo.

"Okay, in that case, let's contact Guan Xiaotong first."

"But Guan Xiaotong's salary must be controlled."

The director also reminded that the salary must be controlled, otherwise the filming cost will not be enough.

As for the salary, the chief producer also knows how to consider it.

"Guan Xiaotong will definitely not ask for too much in terms of pay."

"But the pay depends on the pay of the male lead. If the male lead actor is not as famous as her, his pay cannot be higher than hers; if he is also a first-line actor, Guan Xiaotong's pay must be the same as the male lead, after all, Guan Xiaotong is also a top 95 flower."

"Guan Xiaotong's pay is 500,000 yuan per episode now, which is the market price." The general producer explained this point.

If it is 500,000 yuan per episode, then this drama will be 19.5 million for 39 episodes.

If the male lead is also at this level, then the pay of the male and female protagonists will be 39 million.

There are other actors, and the pay is really not small.

But there is no way, the pay of actors nowadays is indeed like this.

...[]

On the other side, Guan Xiaotong, who was filming, was chatting with her agent.

“Sure.” After learning that director Zheng Xiaolong wanted her to play the leading female role in a TV series, Guan Xiaotong agreed.

Because she read the script, she thought this kind of period drama was still very good.

This kind of serious drama resource is what many actresses want to fight for, but they can’t get it.

Now that it has come to her on its own initiative, and it is the work of a big director in the Beijing circle, she will definitely act in it.

“As for the salary, the current general producer means to give you 16 million.”

The agent told Guan Xiaotong about the salary so that she could know how much it was.

This price is about 400,000 per episode.

“Who is the leading male role?” Guan Xiaotong wanted to know who the leading male actor was.

"Originally, we wanted to find Cao Shuai, but the TV series is scheduled to start filming in Shandong in November."

"That's impossible." Upon hearing this, Guan Xiaotong smiled and shook her head: "My husband will be filming a fairy doll with Sister Liying in Hengdian in September, so he definitely can't overlap with this work."

"Yes, so the male lead is uncertain now, but the producer has also mentioned several candidates."

"One of them is Bai Jinting." The agent said.

"Bai Jinting? Backstabbing Mr. He." Guan Xiaotong, who likes to eat melons and read gossip, also knows about this.

When Mr. He was in trouble with the capital, Bai Jinting also backstabbed Mr. He.

"Is this matter still unknown, but Bai JintingTing's resources in the past two years are indeed good. "

"Last year, he worked with Sister Meng on "Daily Life" and then immediately worked with Wang Ruoyu on "Changfengdu". Now it seems that he has the greatest possibility. He will work with you on "Southward and Northward" in November."

"Because Bai Jinting is also a native of the capital, he is considered to be in the Beijing circle, although he doesn't have any backstage."

"But he has developed well in recent years and has great opportunities."

Guan Xiaotong certainly knows Bai Jinting, but the relationship is average.

When they were recording "Hi Roommate" before, they had a good relationship, but they gradually had less contact later, so the relationship naturally faded; but Bai Jinting is her husband's partner.

But they are just partners, and they rarely contact each other privately.

Cao Gong certainly knows Bai Jinting's little thoughts, but he just doesn't let him succeed.

"Okay, what about the kissing scene? "Guan Xiaotong continued to ask the agent for information.

"I asked the producer, and he made it clear that according to your market quotation, your salary is 500,000 per episode, but because you don't shoot kissing scenes, the kissing scenes are deleted, or changed to borrowed shots."

"Because the crew made concessions to cooperate with your inability to shoot kissing scenes, the quotation given to you is only 400,000 per episode." The agent made things very clear.

Since this is the case, Guan Xiaotong also understood: "Okay, as long as there is no kissing scene, I can take it."

"As for who is the male lead, that is a matter of choice for the director."

"And the ranking? It depends on the script. We don't need to fight for or ask for this."

Guan Xiaotong herself doesn't care about the ranking.

She still believes in her man's words. Fighting for the ranking is a very bad thing..
