For entertainment, I really don't want to be popular

Chapter 411 Invitation Rejected

Although it is said that due to the decline in the quality of the roles, the requirements for the roles have also decreased, but in the end there were still a few people who failed to pass.

It's just that these people failed the audition not because of lack of acting skills, but because of their image or voice, which made Yan Yi feel that they didn't match the role, and in the end they were not favored by Yan Yi.

Even so, Yan Yi's trip to Beijing Film Studios this time has yielded a lot of rewards, and he directly finalized the candidates for eight roles, which solved most of Yan Yi's problem of returning to the mainland this time.

With the confirmation of a large number of supporting actors, there are very few roles that Yan Yi needs to consider. Now the only one that gives Yan Yi a headache is the role of female one.

In the original book, the role of female one can be said to have accompanied Yan Yi almost throughout the journey from the beginning to the end.

Yan Yi did not adapt too much from the original work for the image of the first female lead, but followed the previous setting. The so-called woman who was murdered by the first god general and her whole family met the protagonist by chance on the way of revenge and finally returned to the story. Along the way to join the protagonist group, he will be a bodyguard and a master, and finally have a natural relationship with the male lead, just like a coolie in the plot.

However, in the original play, the poison needle refined by the heroine to kill the first god general played a key role in the end, which allowed Yan Yi to retain this role.

At the same time, Yan Yi also added several settings to this character's life experience. The heroine's family background was originally a secret family, a royal family in a country with one person, who had the secret to fight against the generals and was brutally persecuted.

At the same time, a personal dance show was also given to the heroine, just to highlight the charm of Chinese classical dance in the movie.

It is precisely because of this that the role of the heroine can be said to be the top priority in this movie, and the requirements for actors are also very high, and not just anyone can take the role.

It's just that on the way back to the mainland this time, a figure involuntarily appeared in Yan Yi's mind, making Yan Yi have a candidate in his mind.

After finishing his trip to Beijing Film Studio, Yan Yi decisively took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Hey, Director Yan Da should be filming a new movie recently, how come he has the time to find me, a young actor?"

Soon there was a light voice from the other end of the phone, but the tone of the voice still carried a little laziness and charm of the old man, which did not match the light voice.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've already forgotten me as the former director? I have a character looking for you here, can you accept it?"

Yan Yi listened to the ridicule on the other end of the phone and didn't get angry at all. Instead, he went straight to the point and said his reason for coming.

In fact, Yan Yi also knows that the other party is indeed very busy recently. Since the movie Snowpiercer became a big hit, Xia Meng's popularity in the circle has also increased and she has come to the ranks of the quasi-first-line, followed by various announcements And commercial performances.

And Xia Meng is not like Yan Yi who does not have an agency behind him. Even if there is one, it is just a shell company on Yan Yi's resume for the convenience of dumping the blame. Xia Meng signed a contract with the agency and naturally got rid of it. Not bound by economic companies.

Now that Xia Meng is finally popular, these economic companies will not let go of such a good opportunity to make money, so they frantically squeeze Xia Meng.

"Haha, I thought about it too, but I'm afraid I might disappoint Director Yan this time. Recently, our company has arranged all kinds of announcements for me. There are all kinds of announcements. SLR cameras are an opportunity to make money by appearing on the show. That's one of them. If I don’t let it go, I have to fly back and forth to several places every day, so where can I find the time to make movies?”

After going through a lot of troubles with the brokerage company, Xia Meng, who was working, was already a little tired when he spoke, and reluctantly rejected Yan Yi's invitation.

Prior to this, Yan Yi was quite confident in inviting Xia Meng to be the female lead of the King of Kung Fu. After all, it was not the first day the two met. The previous cooperation in the snow country train crew was quite harmonious. Yan Yi is absolutely responsible for Meng's current popularity.

But who knew it would be such a result, it was completely beyond the expectation of the old man Yan Yi.

"Is there no other way? I think this role is really suitable for you. Maybe after this role, your fame will really be able to squeeze into the ranks of the first-line. Don't you really want to try it?" Do you want to try?"

However, even though he was rejected tragically, the performance at this time still has some unwillingness to give up and wants to continue to try again. After all, in Yan Yi's mind, the role of Kung Fu Queen Nvyi has been perfectly integrated with Xia Meng.

"This brokerage company was originally opened by a friend of mine. It helped me a lot in the early stage. Now that I have a reputation, I can't refuse these announcements. And now that my friend has got into the eyes of the money, it is impossible to be in the company. At this time, let me go to film, unless I quit, the liquidated damages of 500 million is a small problem, just the salary of Snowpiercer is enough, but the human relationship is not easy to pay back, maybe I will suffer from public opinion at that time, I There is no other way."

Hearing Yan Yi's invitation again, Xia Meng couldn't help but sighed deeply, her tone seemed full of helplessness.

The imposing Yan Yi can also understand Xia Meng's situation at this time, after all, Yan Yi also came from Xia Meng's step in his last life.

Brokerage companies are not charitable companies. Maybe they will praise you to help you increase your popularity when you have nothing, but once you become popular, it must become a tool for them to make money. If you want to quit at this time, maybe To fall into a deadly situation.

After all, those who run a brokerage company are not vegetarians. They all have certain connections in the circle, and maybe there are some actor's scandals behind their backs. The event is about to accept the wave of public opinion on the Internet, and it is basically ruined.

And those artists who were lucky enough to survive basically rely on their massive and amazingly cohesive fans or their own personal connections to avoid harm, and Xia Meng obviously hasn't joined the ranks yet.

It is also for this reason that even if Xia Meng wants to break away, she still has concerns in her heart.

"Okay, let me think about it, but if you have a chance, let me know. I really think this role is very suitable for you. I don't want you to miss such a good opportunity. After all, we are also old friends. .”

Faced with this situation, Yan Yi could only wave his hands helplessly. After all, this was a family matter, and it was also related to Xia Meng's acting career. Yan Yi really couldn't interfere too much and could only watch Xia Meng himself. Yes.

But once Xia Meng really wants to break away one day, Yan Yi will definitely lend a helping hand. On the one hand, it is because of his past life experience, and on the other hand, Xia Meng is also Yan Yi's friend. These two points are enough for Yan Yi to take action for this.
