"I did receive a notebook recently, but I haven't decided yet."
Jiang Lai answered seriously.
After being drugged by the system, she really treated Xia Yu as a friend and wanted to hear his opinion.
"Oh? Which dynasty? Or is it a fictional one?"
Xia Yu asked specifically.
Many costume dramas are adapted from novels, and a large part of them are fictional, so there will be fewer people who find fault with them.
"It's from the Northern Song Dynasty and is an adaptation of a romance novel."
"Oh? Aren't most romance novels about people wearing pigtails in the Qing Dynasty? This Northern Song Dynasty novel is quite rare."
Xia Yu spoke his mind.
But since it’s a romance novel, the target audience of the TV series is women, right?
Everyone took out their phones and searched for the novel. Xia Yu almost vomited blood when he saw the introduction.
"A love story between a princess and a eunuch?"
"Well, there's a historical prototype, and don't you think it's a good topic?"
Jiang Lai asked back.
This is not something the author made up, nor is he playing around with time travel. It does have a prototype in history.
"We definitely have a topic, but will Big Claw pass muster?"
Xia Yu was quite curious about this. After all, from a male perspective, the filming of this novel was too contrary to human values.
It's fine if you want eunuchs to be the protagonists, Mengchao can make a great movie with just a few eunuchs, but if you want a eunuch to fall in love, or with a princess, he has only one thing to say - How much sorrow can you have? It's like a group of eunuchs going to a brothel!
"It definitely won't work, so the script was changed so that Song Renzong is the protagonist and the love story becomes a secondary plot."
Jiang Lai explained.
But Xia Yu still felt it was unreliable.
"Then what role are you playing? Not a princess, right?"
"How is that possible? I'm playing the queen, the second queen of Song Renzong. What do you think?"
After Jiang Lai finished speaking, he asked Xia Yu for his opinion.
She has already asked several female friends, and they all said that the script is good and it is a big production, so she must seize the opportunity. But she still wants to ask the opinions of her male friends. Didn’t Xia Yu just happen to be one of them?
At this time, not only Jiang Lai was staring at him, but Yin Suya and the other three were also looking at him. They didn't expect that this guy had such a good relationship with Senior Jiang.
"Listen to me, don't act like that, or you'll definitely get scolded!"
Xia Yu thought about it and asked Jiang Lai to reject the offer.
"Why?"
This is Jiang Lai's problem, and also Yin Suya and the others' problem. The girls think that the script is nothing special, but from Xia Yu's perspective, this drama is a hodgepodge.
"Because this drama isn't a serious drama, nor is it an idol drama. It's trying to tell a historical story under the guise of a romance. Who would buy that?"
Xia Yu analyzed for Jiang Lai.
It's not free food, Xia Yu is a decent man.
If I could stop Jiang Lai from taking on this crappy drama, it would be enough to repay the favor of the meal.
"Hearing you say that, it seems to make some sense!"
Jiang Lai also feels something is wrong now.
Xia Yu is not an outsider guiding an expert. Many things are interconnected. Whether it is a novel or a TV series, they all have a core. If you lose the core idea, you will be on the verge of sudden death.
"Xia Yu, when did you become so powerful?"
Ding Mi asked with wide eyes.
Xia Yu today is different from what she had imagined before.
"I've always been this awesome!"
Xia Yu no longer had any sense of modesty at this time, but fortunately his pride had not yet reached the sky.
"I don't believe you, Senior Jiang, are you not going to take on this role?"
"I won't take it. My reputation is already bad, and if I take it again I'll be scolded to death."
Jiang Lai said self-deprecatingly.
She has a lot of negative news on the Internet, and her every move is noticed by many people. If this drama fails, it will be criticized regardless of whether it is her fault or not.
"Let's not talk about these bad things. Ding Mi, I think you're pretty good. Would you like to come to our Mingyang Culture?"
Changing the topic, Jiang Lai began to recruit people.
Before she came to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, she had read the information of this year's acting department graduates in advance. Among them, Ding Mi's various qualifications could be ranked in the top three, and she had the potential to become a star.
The company said it wanted to absorb fresh blood, and it would be great if she, as the top sister, could bring back two junior sisters.
"Me? I can't do that!"
Ding Mi was a little timid in front of Jiang Lai, because her momentum was suppressed.
"Be confident, you can do it."
Jiang Lai encouraged.
"No, our sister Mi is going to be in the film industry in the future, so she doesn't want to be with someone like you who's making TV dramas."
Xia Yu stood up and started to taunt to the maximum!
"Huh? You look down on people?"
"Do you think I'm worth it?"
Jiang Lai was killed by Xia Yu's poisonous tongue.
Since the system gave her the character of Xia Yu's friend, her death was a worthy one.
"Senior Jiang..."
"Don't worry, I was a bit abrupt. Ding Mi, you should have other plans, right?"
Seeing that Ding Mi wanted to say something, Jiang Lai took the initiative to interrupt her.
"Well, I have no plans to sign with a company yet."
Ding Mi said frankly.
This is what she had said to Xia Yu, and it was also the reason why he spoke up for herself just now.
A company can bring you resources, but it can also restrict your development. If she has to sign with a company, she is willing to wait until she becomes a little famous before signing, so that the conditions will be much more favorable.
"I think we should just let Xia Yu spend some money to set up an agency. When I become a movie star, I can switch to him."
Jiang Lai made a great assist. Xia Yu had this idea before, and now he has a reason to pull his senior sister to transition into the film and television industry.
"Yes, they say that there is money everywhere in your film and television industry, and you have to bring a sack to pick it up. I also want to set up a film and television company to pick up money."
