Chapter 121 Su Mo recommends Lin Ying
Chapter 121 Su Mo recommends Lin Ying
Director Zhang still felt a little upset when talking about this matter. "We had almost finished talking about it, but..."
Zhang Mi didn't have as many concerns as Director Zhang, and she said quickly, "It's because of that guy surnamed Liu. He spread the word that Wang Wu would be in the new film, and that the investment in this project was huge. Several actors who had agreed to act in the film changed their minds at the last minute. He also said that a wise bird chooses a tree to inhabit, and a wise minister chooses a master to serve."
"Heh~" Su Mo snorted coldly, thinking: a bunch of short-sighted villains. "It's okay, they will reap what they sowed. So which actors are still missing for the roles?"
Zhang Zhang glanced at the mysterious Su Mo. Although he couldn't guess what the bitter fruit in her words meant, he answered Su Mo's question: "At present, there are still three roles missing: Jian Jie's husband, the female leader who embarrasses Jian Jie, and Jian Jie's male best friend. There is no suitable candidate."
Su Mo thought about the people he had worked with before, "Jian Jie's husband doesn't have many scenes, right?"
Zhang Zhang nodded.
"Since there aren't many scenes, we can find a non-actor celebrity to make a friendly guest appearance. I met He Jie when I was recording a variety show before, and I've heard his songs. His voice and lyrics have a kind of touching charm. Director Zhang can invite him to participate in the production of the opening song, and then make a friendly guest appearance as Jian Jie's husband."
Zhang Zhang slapped his thigh and looked at Su Mo approvingly. "Momo, that's a good idea. This role doesn't have many scenes to begin with, and we've been struggling to find actors. We can't afford those with low pay, and we can't afford those with high pay. Now the problem is solved."
Su Mo waved his hands repeatedly, smiling like a fox, "No, no, no, I'm just making a suggestion. Whether we can come to an agreement depends on Director Zhang."
Zhang Mi: "I said to find Su Mo, it must be right, not only can he act, but he can also give advice."
Su Mo glanced at Zhang Mi approvingly and said, "Female leader Jian Jie, I have a bold idea. The tone of our play is relatively depressing. Why not try to find a comedian with acting experience? The lines can also be more cheerful. This way, the plot will be more full and there will be tears in the laughter, so that the audience will not be too depressed when they leave the cinema."
Zhang Mi looked at Su Mo with a fangirl look on her face, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go back and revise the script right away to make this character more humorous."
"Hey, I'm just making a suggestion. The details still depend on Director Zhang."
Zhang Zhang pointed at Su Mo and nodded a few times, his face full of smiles, "You, you are so slippery."
Zhang Mi asked, "What about your male best friend?"
Su Mo turned his head and looked at Zhang Mi and asked, "Has he been helping Jian Jie out of the predicament? There are still many scenes to be played."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Mi nodded frantically. She didn't expect that Su Mo could guess most of what she wrote even though he hadn't read the script. As expected, he was her fan. This was a two-way journey.
"Why not find Mr. Lin?"
As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, Zhang Zhang just drank the imported tea and instantly spat it out.
Zhang Mi's face was bruised and bumped all over.
Zhang Zhang wiped his mouth and said, "Momo, this can't be done. It really can't be done. Actor Lin's status can indeed carry the box office, but the remuneration... and our movie..."
"Is it possible for our play to cooperate with an official organization? Our film is so meaningful. Are there any advertisements or public service announcements? We can also copy them. In this way, the remuneration will be easier to negotiate, and it can also be used as a publicity highlight at that time." Su Mo explained
After listening to Su Mo's words, Zhang Zhang was very excited, but he really had no experience in this area, so he had to go back and ask for advice from colleagues who had done the same thing.
Su Mo added, "I have worked with Actor Lin before, so I can help connect them." After that, Su Mo picked up the cup and took a sip of the drink to cover her slightly red face. In fact, she also had a little selfish motive. She hadn't seen Lin Ying for a long time, and she actually missed him a little.
"Uncle, do you agree?" Zhang Mi said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, I'll try." Zhang Zhang originally wanted to try it first and then tell them the results. Now that Zhang Mi has spoken, he had no choice but to agree, otherwise this little girl would insist on sticking to him.
"Then let's raise a toast and wish our new drama a smooth start." Su Mo said, raising his glass.
Zhang Zhang joked: "Who can tell who is the director now, hahaha." Then he raised his glass.
Zhang Mi raised her glass the moment Su Mo finished speaking, "Who is the director? What matters is that the film sells well at the box office."
The glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and the three of them smiled at each other.
After clinking glasses, the three of them ate and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere.
Zhang Mi suddenly thought of the gossip on Weibo last night and asked, "Momo, did you read Weibo today?"
Su Mo looked at Zhang Mi in confusion, thinking: Am I on the hot search again?
"There is a paparazzi on Weibo who broke the news that a female celebrity is about to marry into a wealthy family because of her son. Do you have any inside information?" Zhang Mi asked curiously.
Su Mo deliberately raised his voice and said, "Oh, this~" and took a bite of the dish, looking at Zhang Mi mysteriously.
"Tell me about it." Zhang Mi's interest in eating melons was suddenly piqued.
Su Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "This... I don't know either."
"Humph, you are just trying to keep me in suspense." Zhang Mi pouted and pretended to be angry.
Zhang Mi's words gave Su Mo inspiration. She looked at Zhang Zhang and asked, "Director Zhang, when are you going to make the official announcement?"
Zhang Zhang looked at Su Mo in confusion and said, "Wait for Lin Ying's reply."
Su Mo estimated that there was enough time, "I have a suggestion, we can take advantage of the popularity"
"What's the hype? A female celebrity is about to marry into a wealthy family because of her son?" Zhang Zhang asked puzzled.
"What, Momo, you're going to officially announce your relationship." Zhang Mi screamed.
Su Mo quickly rubbed his ears, holding his forehead and said awkwardly: "It's not worth such a big sacrifice. And I'm still single now. I mean, since Director Liu has poached Director Zhang's people, then we can take advantage of their popularity and make the official announcement on the same day. It's not like we're taking advantage of them."
"Oh, yes. Momo and they were on the hot search before." As the vice president of the fan club, Zhang Mi knew Su Mo's situation very well.
"Hehe~" Su Mo smiled awkwardly. There really was a fan leader there who knew how to poke the real owner's heart.
"So, Momo, what did you find out that Director Liu's movie can't be released?" Zhang Mi asked curiously. Zhang Zhang also remembered the previous hot search after hearing Zhang Mi's mention, so he also looked at Su Mo.
Su Mo ignored the curious looks of the two and smiled, "Director Zhang, you're treating me, can I add another dish?"
Zhang Zhang saw that Su Mo changed the subject and guessed that it might not be convenient to talk about it. So he did not continue to ask questions and waved his hand, "Add more, all you can eat."
The three of them had this meal until two in the afternoon.
