The next morning, Yi Yang went out early, taking the subway as usual.
I was originally thinking of buying a car, but given the road conditions in Shanghai, my daughter said she doesn't like driving.
Yi Yang didn't rush to buy it.
We arrived at Tencent around 8:30 in the morning.
The receptionist had seen him before, and upon seeing Yi Yang, she immediately led him upstairs without saying a word.
Wang Jun arrived early today and was already in the office.
"Brother, please have a seat. Director Li Tiansheng will be here soon."
"good...."
Wang Jun guessed he still had some things to do, so when he saw Yi Yang come in, he greeted him and then continued looking at the documents in his hand.
After all, the two of them had long since moved past the stage of formalism, so Yi Yang didn't care and simply sat on the sofa and started playing on his phone.
A short while later, the receptionist led in a man in his sixties whose scalp was so shiny it seemed to reflect light.
"Director Li, hello there!"
Wang Jun also put down the documents in his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
He spoke with a strong Cantonese accent.
Yi Yang naturally stood up as well, it was a matter of courtesy.
"Let me introduce you. This is the author of 'Tianlong,' and the person you will be working with this time."
"Yi Yang, this is director Li Tiansheng, a veteran director from Hong Kong, a senior figure."
Wang Jun also introduced the two of them to each other.
"Hello, Director Li, please bear with me from now on."
“You are a very talented young man. I have read your book, and it has a style that is very similar to that of Hong Kong Island. I like it very much.”
Everyone carried the sedan chair, and they were very polite to Yi Yang, even using honorifics.
Li Tiansheng also smiled and praised him.
At this moment, Wang Jun also picked up the documents that had been on the table.
"Here is the cast list, please take a look."
After Yi Yang took it, he spread it out on the coffee table so the two of them could look at it together; the details were very thoughtful.
Seeing this, Li Tiansheng smiled and nodded at Yi Yang.
As time passed, the two of them finished watching, and Yi Yang had a better understanding of the candidates. There were a few people among them who seemed suitable.
However, Yi Yang did not speak first, but looked at Li Tiansheng.
However, the old man shook his head and gestured for Yi Yang to make the decision.
After all, it was agreed upon before we came, and besides, we've already given them enough face.
Then be a perfect tool.
Yi Yang nodded politely before speaking, "Duan Yu will go to Luo Yunxi, but he needs to gain a little weight; he's too thin right now. (Please refer to Chang Yue Jinming's appearance)"
"Mrs. Ma gave it to Li Xiaoran, who is 37 years old, which is a suitable age."
"Murong Fu told Zong Feng that his image was acceptable."
"Xu Zhu will give it to Han Dongdong, but he definitely has to be willing to shave his head."
These are some of the more suitable candidates from the list Wang Jun brought over. As for the other main actors, Yi Yang still wants to find the people he has in mind.
Especially Qiao Feng, Yi Yang was constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, whether it was Huang Hua or Hu Jun.
However, there was a veteran Hong Kong director nearby, so Yi Yang immediately asked him about it.
"Director Li, do you think casting Huang Hua to play Qiao Feng might make him seem a bit too old?"
"Indeed, there is quite a large age gap."
After hearing Yi Yang's question, Li Tiansheng thought for a moment before answering.
Since that's the case, this is the only option left.
"Mr. Wang, let's have Hu Jun take Qiao Feng."
"As for Wang Yuyan, I'd like to find Liu Qianqian to play the role. I have her contact information here, let's ask her first!"
"Let Leba play the role of the Western Xia princess. I'll ask her about it when I get back."
"As for the other female characters, I'd like to take another look."
Wang Jun, who was taking notes on the actors Yi Yang mentioned, nodded in agreement when he heard the last sentence.
The list of actors he gave Yi Yang was all sent to him by other companies through connections during this period.
In fact, the news of the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" project being approved had already been widely circulated outside.
Only Yi Yang, the person directly involved, was completely unaffected.
Wang Jun blocked most of them.
"Director Li, I'll give you the episode summaries within five days. As for the rest, I'll have to trouble you with that later."
"A certain problem"
The matter was almost settled, and Yi Yang planned to go back and work on the script first.
This is relatively simple; all you need is hands.
"Brother, Director Li, I'll go back and get my things sorted out. We'll keep in touch by phone."
"Okay, then hurry up and finalize it. I'll prepare another list of actresses for you."
After hearing Wang Jun's words, Yi Yang nodded and went home.
After Yi Yang left, Wang Jun said to Li Tiansheng, "Director Li, if you also have any younger colleagues who need your help, you can also compile a list of actors."
Upon hearing this, Li Tiansheng's eyes lit up. This was clearly a favor being done for him. "Okay, I'll prepare in the next few days."
..............
When Yi Yang got home, Xiao Ni was on the phone with someone.
Upon seeing Yi Yang, she immediately said into the phone, "Sister Xue, my brother is back. You can talk to him yourself!"
Then he ran over and handed the phone to Yi Yang.
Why doesn't Yang Qingxue just call herself when she's looking for someone?
Curiosity aside, I took the phone.
"Hello, Teacher Yang, what can I do for you?"
"Little brother Yi Yang, I have a favor to ask of you. I have no choice but to have this little girl whisper some sweet nothings in my ear. Hehe..."
These words made Yi Yang feel a little awkward.
However, as soon as the laughter came out, Yi Yang immediately thought of the work of Teacher Yang that he had watched two months ago.
The image of that surging, laughing figure immediately came to mind.
To avoid making a fool of himself, Yi Yang went over and put his arm around the girl, then sat down on the sofa.
"Teacher Yang, please stop teasing me. Just say what you have to say!"
"Alright then! It's about the actors for 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.' Do you know if your company has any suitable candidates?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Yang's eyes darted around.
"Teacher Yang, how about letting Leba play the princess of Western Xia?"
“The little girl doesn’t count, she’s already yours. If you want to pick someone else, even a supporting role will do.”
The implication of those words is that they were initially aiming for the main character.
Yi Yang also thought for a moment, and if all else failed, he would just give the role of Mu Wanqing to Huang Mengying, which would be quite suitable.
"How about this? Let Huang Mengying play a supporting role! A role with a lot of screen time, what do you think?"
"Then thank you in advance, Yi Yang. If you need any other roles, please take care of Jiaxue Company in the future, for Le Ba's sake!"
Yang Qingxue, on the other end of the phone, heard that Yi Yang had relented and decided to stop while she was ahead.
However, the last sentence was probably directed at Yi Yang.
"Don't worry, Teacher Yang, I know what I'm doing."
"Alright, goodbye, Yi Yang."
When Yi Yang heard that everything was alright, he hung up the phone.
