Chapter 905 As long as it's Lin Fan's play, I can play a supporting role, not just a female one!
The comic "Journey to the West" has never been put into filming, and people in the circle are talking about it, saying all kinds of things, but it also proves that this comic has attracted much attention, and countless eyes are staring at it.
Li Man started watching the "Journey to the West" comics since they were released, but after watching for so long, he didn't notice any movement from Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia.
But it is not easy to inquire about this kind of thing in person, so Riemann can only inquire through his agent in a roundabout way, but the information he gets in this way is only superficial.
Li Manguang knew that Lin Fan had never planned to film "Journey to the West", but he didn't know why Lin Fan didn't film it.
Now the conversation has come to this point. Riemann originally thought that Yang Hongxia would not give a direct answer. After all, this was also the company's internal planning. Yang Hongxia was not obligated to answer anyone who asked.
But who knew that Yang Hongxia didn't shy away from explaining the matter directly: "Lin Fan has always wanted to find someone who can play the role of Sun Wukong, but he has been looking for a long time and hasn't found a suitable one. Now, the protagonist can't be decided, how can we shoot this?"
Since Yang Hongxia said it directly, Li Man did not hide it anymore: "Sister Xia, I am not afraid of you laughing at me. In fact, I am also keeping an eye on this play, waiting for Director Lin to have an idea and rush over to grab the role! I originally thought that there was some other reason that caused this play to be silent, but it turned out that the actors were not found. I am afraid that I can't help with other things, but I can still help a little with finding actors.
I don’t know what kind of actors Director Lin needs? Are there any specific requirements? Sister Xia, if you don’t mind, you can tell me. I will keep an eye out for you when I go to the crew or go back to school.”
Yang Hongxia was not polite: "Then I would like to thank Sister Man first! Lin Fan's requirements are quite specific. He wants someone who can perform traditional monkey shows!"
This requirement is indeed very specific, but Li Man understands that this is not Lin Fan’s only requirement, but the passing line.
Only artists who cross this passing line can go to Lin Fan and accept the next round of screening. But this passing line has already eliminated 99% of male artists in the entertainment industry.
No wonder Lin Fan hasn’t been seen filming Journey to the West for a long time. It’s true that they haven’t found the leading actor yet.
Li Man readily agreed: "I'll remember that, Sister Xia. If I meet someone suitable later, I'll tell you!"
As soon as he hung up the phone, Li Man quickly called his agent over and said, "Quick, quick, go to the drama academy and see if there are any actors who are particularly good at playing monkey plays, whether they are students or teachers. Anyway, if you think someone is good, write down their contact information first. I will go and see how their acting skills are later."
Of course, Li Man had to screen the actors recommended to Lin Fan first. Otherwise, bringing anyone in front of Lin Fan would not be helping, but disrupting.
The agent was still confused: "What monkey scene? Does the play you accepted require monkey scenes?"
"No!" Li Man calmed down and explained the matter to his agent. "Sister Xia told me in person that the filming of Journey to the West has not started because they haven't found an actor who can play the role of Sun Wukong. Although I dare not guarantee it, I will take this matter into my hands."
Although when "Journey to the West" starts filming in the future, Li Man believes that he will be able to get a role based on his own ability, so he will not try to please Lin Fan in this way.
But who would complain about doing favors, especially to Lin Fan? The agent understood: "You want to help Director Lin and Sister Xia find the right actors as soon as possible, so that you can participate in the filming of this drama earlier, right?"
"Your ability to summarize is excellent. I hope your ability to find people is equally excellent."
Agent: "...I remember that Su Tong seems to be from a drama school? Do you want to ask her?"
Riemann: ...Please don't remind me at this time that my competitors have more advantages than me, okay?
Li Man hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, I have received the news, and Su Tong will definitely know about it. It's just a matter of time. Hiding it will make me look petty. I will call Su Tong myself to tell her about this.
If she doesn't give you any results, then you can try your luck at the Chinese Opera Academy."
The agent naturally nodded in agreement.
So, Riemann called Su Tong again.
Su Tong: "...How do you know that I know of any professional actors in this field?"
Riemann was also stunned: "Really?"
Su Tong said: "It's true."
Riemann: ...Is this the legendary luck? But why am I not happy at all, and even a little sad? I worked so hard, took the initiative to play a cameo role, and helped find people, just to be able to get the role as soon as possible when the filming of "Journey to the West" started.
As a result, Su Tong was sitting at home with nothing to do, and God stuffed a pie into her mouth! The key point is that I was the one who brought this pie to her!
Li Man was holding his breath, but also happy, with an unusually complicated mood: "Just being able to act as a monkey doesn't necessarily mean you can catch Director Lin's eye, acting skills are still necessary."
Su Tong said calmly: "Don't worry, my senior brother's acting skills will only be better than mine, not worse than mine."
Riemann felt even more aggrieved!
"Well, let's make an appointment to meet." Riemann was still struggling.
Su Tong smiled and said, "If I take my senior brother directly to find Sister Xia..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Hey! Don't destroy the bridge after crossing it!" Riemann was anxious.
Su Tong asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry? With your acting skills, can't you get a role? Director Lin really likes to recruit actors publicly. As long as the acting skills are good enough, anyone will have a chance with him."
Riemann held his breath: That's true, but I'm so angry!
Su Tong listened to Li Man's silence on the other end of the phone and decided not to tease her in an unusually good mood, so as not to really make her angry.
Anyway, this time, she finally vented her anger about her failure in the competition for the female lead in "Legend of White Snake".
Su Tong said, "But my senior brother is participating in this year's opera tour, so he won't be available for at least the next one or two months. I wonder if this will affect Director Lin's progress?"
Li Man breathed a sigh of relief: "No, Director Lin is busy filming a new drama. Since they can't find a lead actor for Journey to the West, they haven't started any preparations yet. I think they can wait."
Li Man calculated that this new drama would take about three or four months to shoot, right? Even if this drama was finished and then directly followed by Journey to the West, it would still be in time.
It's just that my schedule doesn't seem to be very spacious, it's a bit full... No! I must find a way to free up my schedule! Su Tong also said: "Then I'll call my senior brother to tell him about this, and when he comes back, we'll make an appointment."
"Okay! It's settled."
Su Tong hung up the phone and jumped up from her chair. The calmness she had just shown on the phone disappeared completely. She called out to her agent anxiously, "Quick, quick, help me check my schedule and see if I can spare time for a drama this year. If one drama is not okay, half one will be fine too!"
My requirements are not high, just give me an important female supporting role! What? You said that I, a first-line actress, have fallen to the point of playing a female supporting role in an ensemble drama?
Oh, as long as it's Lin Fan's play, I can play not only the female supporting role but also the male supporting role! (End of this chapter)
