Chapter 75

Su Ning: ...

Zhou Chunqing, who was standing nearby, and Ji Mowei, who was sitting next to him, were also stunned and did not react for a moment.

I didn't see that she didn't want this role today? She and Ye Qiuxin had acted well just now, and she was in the mood to take advantage of this to make a profit from Zhu Lan.

Jixue didn't explain it to them in detail because Zhu Lan came back soon and told her, "There's no problem with He Fan. She has heard of you and seen your performance. Her drama won't start filming soon and is still in preparation. You can go over after you finish filming this drama."

"Any other questions?"

He Fan's film was adapted from a novel. The original work was a somewhat mysterious short story, not very famous, and even more niche than the previous film.

She knew it in her mind. She had read the script. This kind of film was not like a romantic film like "Old Love Letters". The possibility of it becoming a hit was very small. With the traffic of Jixue, He Fan would definitely agree. She couldn't find anything better.

During the short time Zhu Lan had just been out, she found Shu Miao and asked her which one she would choose between He Fan and Zhao Zhenyue. Shu Miao did not hesitate and immediately chose Zhao Zhenyue. She knew that this was originally Ji Xue's role, and she also knew that the drama was getting a lot of attention.

Then this matter is very clear.

He Fan has some family background and does have some talent, which is why Zhu Lan never gave up on her. It is indeed useful to keep her until now, at least she can be used to exchange for the resources she wants.

Su Ning also reacted at this time. He glanced at the accumulated snow and said, "When discussing with Nanjiang TV Station, I want Shen Mingzheng to go there in person."

This matter cannot just be discussed by Zhu Lan's people.

Jixue nodded and said, "That's it."

Zhu Lan: "Okay."

So the matter was settled so neatly.

But Su Ning didn't smile the whole time, and looked a little serious. It wasn't until Zhu Lan left that he asked Ji Xue in detail, "When did you come up with the idea of ​​changing roles?"

There are only a few people in the dressing room now, and they are all family members. Jixue has gotten what he wanted, so he naturally tells the truth.

In fact, she had this idea in mind as soon as she finished reading the novel and the script. She knew that the role of Zhao Zhenyue was very good, and it would have been too arbitrary to reject it outright at that time. Fortunately, it had not been officially announced yet, so she wanted to try out a role with Ye Qiuxin today, maybe it would feel different.

But in reality, once she auditioned, she became more eager to change her role.

Princess Zhenyue is of course very good, and her character is impeccable. Su Ning chose this role for her with good intentions. Anyone in the industry would make the same choice, as Jixue knows. So she was very hesitant until she tried on the clothes, wondering whether she should mention this to the director and others.

This was a very difficult choice.

Then Zhu Lan came along and insisted on taking the role, and put forward a lot of conditions.

This is not perfect!

Jixue was originally hesitant, but now she feels that God is guiding her.

If Zhu Lan wants it, just give it to her. She is going to order something else.

But Su Ning's frown remained on his face, and he asked, "If you don't play Zhen Yue, then what are you going to play?"

Jixue asked, "Xiahou Jin, haven't you made a decision yet?"

Ah, this character.

Xiahou Jin is not likable, but he has quite a lot of scenes, even more than Zhenyue. He has appeared in the script for more than ten episodes, but died near the end. He is an important character, but very ungrateful.

At first, she appeared pitiful, dignified and virtuous. Luo Suyan originally trusted her very much and even helped her many times. She was a real benefactor.

It was not easy for Xiahou Jin to sit on the position of empress. At the beginning, she was not good at calculating, and the new emperor did not favor her. It was the heroine who was already the empress dowager at that time who saw her honesty and helped her to sit on the throne. But later she changed. In order to win favor and consolidate her position, she even harmed Zhenyue and the heroine Luo Suyan who helped her.

Zhenyue could have lived with her beloved, but because of her scheme, she had to marry far away for the sake of the country. Xiahou Jin seemed to be a good man on the surface, until he laid a hand on the heroine's child. He was finally exposed and eliminated by the heroine.

Luo Suyan's biological child is gone. She experienced the death of two emperors. In the end, she was in charge of the government, and the one she held was Xiahou Jin's youngest son. The child was taught to trust only the heroine, and was very obedient. He was like a puppet of his own accord, and he didn't remember his biological mother at all.

To be honest, strictly speaking, there are no heroes or villains in this kind of drama, but the most hurtful thing is that the characters are "unlikable". Even if the drama is popular, there are still many people who are scolded by the audience both inside and outside the drama, so it is difficult to attract many fans and reap many benefits.

It is hard to imagine that Ji Xue gave up Zhao Zhenyue to play Xiahou Jin.

"But I think this role is quite interesting, and there are many things to think about," Jixue said, "It may not be impossible to be outstanding."

It’s just that the difficulty is relatively high, so she wants to give it a try.

Zhenyue's challenge is not as high as Xiahou Jin's. After she acted opposite Ye Qiuxin, this feeling became even stronger. A good actor does not need to play a perfect role.

Even though Su Ning is an agent, his perception of the script is different from that of Ji Xue, who is actually acting. And since the actors have been selected, he has nothing to say. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "What about Director He Fan?"

"I've read the novel and watched Director He's movies. I know this kind of movie won't do well at the box office," Ji Xue said, "but Mr. Su, I entered this industry because I wanted to act well. I don't particularly care about the box office."

He Fan's style of art films can also hone actors.

If she wanted to make money and gain attention, wouldn't it be easier for her to marry Lu Fei? She knew exactly why she entered the industry.

She wants to return to her original dream and become a truly good actor.

Su Ning was silent for a while, and then said, "I am also not good at this. I have looked through all the books that have been recommended to me, but I haven't found a suitable one for you."

You have to find it yourself.

"Don't talk about that. I know it's not easy to find a good role. I just came here not long ago, and Mr. Su has already found two for me, which is already very good. I also heard from Director Yao that after filming this one, the company plans to give me a new female lead role, and they are already working on the script," Jixue waved her hand, "Since I want other roles, I will fight for them myself."

Moreover, without the foundation laid by Su Ning, she would have no reason to make this deal with Zhu Lan.

She also knew the current situation of Light and Shadow Entertainment. What Su Ning could give was the best. The company arranged some things for her, and she arranged some more herself. The road would become more and more stable.

Ji Mowei and Qu Shoubai didn't speak the whole time. After watching this scene, they looked at each other as if they were thinking about something.

Jixue is right, good things require you to fight for them yourself.

Zhu Lan acted very quickly. Not long after the appointment was made, Shu Miao came over.

The ancient costume drama she had just finished was in the same movie city as this one. She lived nearby and arrived quickly. She met the director immediately and auditioned on the spot.

Guo Baomu is an experienced director and he has seen too many casting changes. Not to mention the replacement before the official announcement, many people can be temporarily replaced after joining the crew and shooting a segment. He is used to it.

Shu Miao’s acting skills are not bad either, and he is competent in playing the role of Zhao Zhenyue, but with such great success as that in the previous film, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn’t say anything.

As long as he doesn't disturb the director during filming and is obedient when acting, everything else will be easy.

But today, even Ye Qiuxin felt something was wrong, but she didn't say it out loud. When the crew finished work and went back to rest, she quietly waved to Jixue to come over, motioning her to get in her car, and said, "Xiaoxue, did someone bully you?"

Jixue was still holding the script in her hand and started to make new notes on it. She blinked and said, "No, don't worry. This is my company's play and Mr. Su is my boss. How could I be wronged here?"

Ye Qiuxin: "Why did you suddenly...?"

Jixuemiao whispered in her ear and explained to her.

She smelled nice, had soft hair, and was smart. This kind of young girl was very likable, especially her choice of role, which made Ye Qiuxin look at her a few more times.

"Well, that's fine too." Ye Qiuxin couldn't help but touch her hair. "We have a lot of scenes together, so we need to get to know each other better. If you have any questions in the future, remember to come to me anytime."

Tsukiyuki: “Okay.”

Before the filming of the book "The Ambitious Man" started, it was not very popular. Now, I can see that the attention is getting higher and higher, but there are good and bad things.

When Jixue and Shu Miao officially announced their relationship, it was on the top of the hot searches. Some people thought it was a good match, while there were also fans of both sides arguing with each other. Anyway, the debate was endless. Lu Fei, a big fan of Jixue, even called Su Ning. He was very angry at first, but he stopped after listening to his explanation.

It is not easy to tell others about this kind of resource replacement, and such a hot topic is bound to cause quarrels. However, the specific outcome will depend on the show and one's personal relationships.

Not long after, news came out that "The Ambitious Family" would be broadcast on Nanjiang TV Station and Haicheng TV Station.

With Zhu Lan around, everything went smoothly for Nanjiang TV Station, except for one thing: the name "The Ambitious Family" was changed to "The Hands That Cover the Sky", which is more commonly used by the platform.

The production and broadcast of dramas have a cycle, which takes a long time. Fortunately, palace dramas don't have many special effects, so the post-production is not that troublesome. In comparison, the MV short dramas of Glory are much faster. After filming the story of "Killer" and Xie Fangmin, the production of this album is almost finished.

Su Ning has always been busy. Ji Xue has already joined the group, so there is not much to worry about. The group's new album is about to be released, so there will be more to do.

It has been a while since they didn't win an award last time, and not many people mention it anymore. Glory's popularity hasn't been affected at all, and fans are still feeling a little upset, but have become more active. The number of album pre-orders has continued to rise after breaking the record, and the release date is getting closer and closer.

The previous MV storyline attracted a lot of attention, but most people felt that it was just a gimmick and that idols and the stage were more important.

Su Ning naturally would not neglect one thing for the other. The night before the album was released, Glory had already warmed up the stage by dancing to one of the main hits, "Killer".

This music program is top-notch in the circle, Glory is the finale, and the program is recorded. On the night of the broadcast, Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng happened to be at home and turned on the TV to watch it.

Even the agent Su Ning was curious and looking forward to it, because when the stage was first decided, the members felt that it was not good enough and could be improved, so they discussed it internally and started to make modifications. Su Ning let them do it, and even he didn't know what the final effect would be.

It seems like these seven people became even more crazy after filming that MV, and they were the ones who made themselves crazy.

When it was time for Glory's new dance show, there was no one on the stage when the show started.

There was only a huge screen on the stage, which seemed to be made of special paper. The image reflected on it was a little blurry, like the texture of an old movie.

The content played above is a clip cut from the story of "Killer", and the different roles of seven people appear in it one after another.

Tong Feifan's shots are very special, and the story has the texture of a suspense film. The light of the dagger reflects blurry faces, and seven people dress up in costumes and look for the murderer in their own way. There are also edited original dialogues in the middle, which fans can recognize as soon as they hear them.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Wait, I will find the truth."

"We are late."

It looks like a trailer for a movie, and the tense atmosphere is instantly full. This clip is very short, only a few dozen seconds, and the last shot is a close-up of seven people looking back from different places.

Some people wear duckbill caps on the streets, some pretend to be convenience store clerks, and some dress elegantly to sneak into nightclubs, looking back as if they have noticed something in the noisy crowd.

I’ve taken many close-up shots of this kind before, but this time it’s different. The eyes are much richer than before.

While the audience was paying attention to the story, the music had already changed. It was the prelude to "Killer", which perfectly matched the picture. Before the first line of the lyrics, as the drum beat changed, the scene darkened for a moment, and light hit the paper curtain, and seven clear figures appeared immediately.

Especially at the end of the close-up of the image, it seemed that a bullet was flying around, but no one knew who it hit. The next second, the paper screen was shattered, as if the bullet suddenly shot out in the movie had shattered the paper screen in reality, instantly bringing people from fantasy to reality.

After the shattered image, seven people officially appeared on the stage.

There were audiences on the stage, and the background music was cheering from the audience. Even though the volume was lowered in post-production, Su Ning, who was sitting in front of the TV, could hear the screams at that moment.
