Shen Ting knew very well that Gu Mo was talented and had an active mind. More importantly, he was very popular and well-liked, so she was naturally very willing to listen to his good advice.
There are a hundred benefits and no harm.
"Your suggestion is definitely good. I'd really like to hear it. Please go ahead."
Gu Mo then expressed his thoughts: "Let me make a presumptuous assumption. If Sister Ting, you were a contracted artist of my company, during this special period, I would definitely mobilize the company's resources to tailor a metropolitan drama with a female protagonist just for you."
"Ah?" Shen Ting was a little bit unbelievable.
Brother, I just want to hear your advice, not your boasting!
It's normal for Shen Ting to think that Gu Mo's idea is unrealistic.
You have to know that in the entertainment industry, there is a strict hierarchy.
It's almost impossible for a third-tier female supporting actress to become the leading female role. If her popularity isn't worthy of the leading female role, fans of the male lead might boycott her.
Although Shen Ting has a popular representative work in which she plays the third female role, and has also participated in the popular variety show "We Are Divorced", she herself has not become popular.
It's just that relatively speaking, the fame has become a little bigger.
"What?" Gu Mo said, then pointed at Ren Ya's success story and said, "Ren Ya's new drama 'Women at Thirty' is currently on the air. If nothing unexpected happens, it has a high probability of winning the annual ratings championship.
It tells the story of a woman's need to be self-reliant after divorce.
It is because she is divorced that she can make her performance more real."
When Ren Ya heard what Gu Mo said, she didn't know whether to be happy for him wishing her new drama to win the top spot, or sad because her divorce made her acting better.
At the same time, she had a bold guess that Gu Mo might be her lucky star.
Before I divorced him, my career developed rapidly.
After the divorce, his popularity and career have been on the decline.
When he makes a comeback and appears in variety shows, the film and television works in which he stars have a good chance of winning the annual ratings championship, and his popularity will more than return to its peak.
Does he have the physique to make his wife lucky?
…
Gu Mo didn't know what his ex-wife was thinking.
He continued to explain to Shen Ting and the audience in front of the screen: "You are also divorced, so filming a TV series with this kind of theme is easy for you and you can act in your true colors.
Even if I, the boss of a film and television company, am not good at expansion, I should still be able to maintain the success, right?
If you can't make money by innovating, can't you just follow the trend and drink some soup?
I boldly guess that from the moment Ren Ya’s new drama "A Woman at Thirty" became a hit, many similar film and television projects have been planned, filed and established.
And you have obvious advantages in playing this type of heroine."
Shen Ting also realized at this time that Gu Mo had given her a big gift package of resources.
The smile on her face grew even brighter: "Is my advantage really that obvious?"
"That's for sure.
Your representative work "Temptation of Wife" itself has the blessing of nostalgia, not to mention that you and Ren Ya, the heroine of "Women at Thirty", co-starred in a divorce variety show.
Then the company can save a lot of money when promoting the TV series you star in in the future.
If the new drama starring you as a heroine is not shoddy, there is a high probability of success.
It is equivalent to a small investment with big returns.
If you want to be more stable, you can find Liu Bowen as the second male lead. "
"Hey, Gu Mo, are you looking for trouble? Why should I be the second male lead?" Liu Bowen had not interrupted until now, but now he couldn't help but speak up.
He doesn't want to be stepped on by his ex-wife.
"There's nothing I can do about it, Ren Ya's new drama isn't about male chauvinism.
Besides, Sister Ting is quite disgusted with you. If someone like you is the male lead, her acting skills may not perform well.
The more unlucky you are, the happier she will be.
The better the acting.”
"Humph, all you can do is talk big and make empty promises.
Shen Ting is not qualified to play the leading female role.
After all, she has not been valued at all in the company for so many years. Her boss is unlikely to support such a small-time actress. Wouldn't it be better to support a popular and talented actress? "
Among all the people present, the one who least wanted Chen Ting to succeed was Liu Bowen. When he heard Gu Mo say that Chen Ting could be the heroine, he felt worse than eating shit.
"In the divorce drama with a female protagonist, is there any actress in China with a better value for money than Sister Ting?
Since her salary is not high, she can spend more money on film and television production.
She is quite popular, so she can save a lot of money on promotion.
She has excellent acting skills and can ensure that the audience will not be distracted while watching the drama.
More importantly, if Liu Bowen plays her ex-husband, it is likely that many female viewers will share the same hatred for the enemy."
Gu Mo no longer paid attention to Liu Bowen, whose face had turned ugly, and said to Ren Ya, "If Sister Ting doesn't take on this kind of subject matter, then I suggest you recruit Sister Ting to join your studio.
Then tailor a new drama for her about a strong urban woman."
Ren Ya saw through Gu Mo's intention at a glance. He simply wanted her to be a proxy to increase Shen Ting's value.
You can do two favors without spending any money, so why not do it?
She said without hesitation: “Okay, I believe in your vision and I value Shen Ting’s ability.”
Will she really dig up Shen Ting? Most likely not.
Doing so will only alienate her contracted artists.
But she thought Gu Mo's suggestion was very good.
It is entirely possible to start a new drama with the same theme to promote the old employees under the contract and train a group of new talents.
…
"Thank you Gu Mo for your advice, and thank you Ren Ya for your support." At this time, Shen Ting first thanked the two "nobles" Gu and Ren.
She then went on to praise her contract company to the audience in front of the screen: "Over the years, my company has always been very good to me, and because of this, I have been able to film many roles."
At this time, Shen Ting naturally would not say anything bad about the company, nor did she dare to blatantly accept Ren Ya's solicitation.
Otherwise, the company she signed with would let her know what it means to be "more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything".
"You're welcome. If you can convince the company to let my good brother Liu Bowen play the scumbag and the second male lead, that would be the greatest reward for me."
Liu Bowen saw through Gu Mo's sinister intentions and immediately took over the conversation: "Gu Mo, you are really my good brother. It's okay for us to share the good and the bad, right?
How about I play the second male lead and you play the third male lead?"
"I'm just a small-time singer. How can I be qualified and capable of playing the third male lead? Just give me the ninth male lead as a token of my appreciation."
"Can he be the ninth male lead in a drama?"
"Even a handsome male artist like me can only play the role of the ninth male lead. Doesn't this make you, the second male lead, even more insignificant?"
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with what you said." Liu Bowen was a little complacent after being praised by Gu Mo: "I'm so talented, why can't I play the male lead?"
"Because you don't deserve it!"
