Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 489: Impressing the Great Directors!
"The watchmaker and the Hong Kong police couple are two important roles that we need to carefully consider!"

"Stop arguing! Zhu Yilong and Du Jiang are both good choices! Why not consider using them together? I think Zhu Yilong's image is a good fit for the Hong Kong police!"

Zhou Yang paused briefly, then said, "Wang Dong is indeed suitable for the role in 'Hello, Capital,' so it's settled then!"

Zhou Yang slightly raised his eyes and made his final decision.

People have gained a completely new understanding of this young actor's courage and determination.

Zhou Yang displayed impressive decisiveness!
Zhang Yibai thought it was very appropriate, so he stood up and made Zhou Yang a cup of tea, which Zhou Yang politely accepted.

"Hello, Beijing" tells the story of a taxi driver in Beijing who gives his son's birthday gift—tickets to the opening ceremony of the Olympics—to survivors of the Dachuan earthquake.

Zhou Yang drank the tea in his hand in one gulp, and then made up his mind.

"For the role of the taxi driver in 'Hello, Beijing,' I decided to personally call Mr. Ge You and ask him to play it! This role was perfectly tailored for him!"

"Mr. Ge You?"

Zhang Yibai carefully looked at the script. "That's right!"

"Then it's decided! This arrangement is just right, hahaha." Wen Mu said happily.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter came in with a steaming bowl of soup.

"Everyone's full! Would you like some soup too, hahaha!"

"Drinking more soup is good for your health! We must add another dish; this chicken soup is very flavorful, everyone should try it!"

Zhou Yang politely invited everyone to taste the soup.

Just as the waiter put down the soup, a boy dressed in his late teens walked in through the door. He had bright eyes that gleamed with a mischievous light.

The waitress quickly grabbed the little boy and led him out. The little boy blushed and looked around curiously.

"Hey, little kid, come here for a second!" Zhou Yang called out, waving to the little boy.

The little boy tugged at the waitress's sleeve, then ran to Zhou Yang's side, looking clever and lively, without any fear.

"What's your name?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile, trying to be as friendly as possible.

The little boy glanced at Zhou Yang sideways and said without fear, "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh!"

Zhou Yang's smile froze instantly; he really hated children!

The little boy turned his head and continued, "My name is Mingming. What do you need me for?"

The waitress was sweating profusely; this group of people was clearly no ordinary people, and the little boy was truly bold and outspoken.

"Where are you from?" Zhou Yang still had to continue talking to this mischievous little guy.

"I'm from Sichuan, so what?" Zhou Yang's eyes sparkled as he looked up at the waitress and asked, "Do you have his contact information?"

Holy crap! Zhou Yang!
The waiter looked up at Zhou Yang and immediately recognized him.

"no problem."

"Please write it down and send it to me, please."

"Okay, it's alright."

"I'm planning to invite Mingming to participate in my latest film, what do you think?"

The waiter thought to himself, "How could such a good opportunity be given to his younger brother?"
"Aren't you going to ask for my opinion?" Mingming asked pettily.

"So, are you willing?"

“No, I don’t want to!” Mingming replied coldly.

"One hundred thousand!" Zhou Yang quoted.

"Three hundred thousand!" Mingming raised the price.

"I'll give you a million! There will be a bonus if you perform well!" Zhou Yang said generously.

This is a huge bargaining chip for a family like Mingming's.

"Deal!" Mingming politely shook hands with Zhou Yang. The waiter, who had been watching from the side, handed Zhou Yang the contact information.

The others watched quietly, while Xu Zheng simply watched the scene with a smile.

Zhou Yang glanced at him sideways and pointed without any politeness: "Look at your beer belly!"

Xu Zheng withdrew his hand and said embarrassedly, "It's not my fault that I'm fat!"

Hahahaha
The crowd laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

"This little boy from Sichuan acted quite well in the role. There's also a female character in the show. Who do you think is more suitable?"

"How is Gong Pei?"

"We can consider her."

"The plot of 'Daytime Meteor' looks quite challenging!"

Zhang Yi acted lively, scratching his head as if he were in a dilemma.

"Liu Haoran and Yi Qianxi are both good actors, especially Yi Qianxi, who is a rising star!"

"Liu Haoran's image is a bit too immature; I feel he's not up to the task!"

"Indeed! This Mongolian man doesn't seem to fit in with them!"

"Makeup can change everything now, as long as your acting skills are up to par."

"We should nurture these outstanding actors!"

"Haha, Lao Xu is right!"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Yang wrote "Daytime Meteor," a story about impoverished brothers in Inner Mongolia who regain hope for life under the inspiration of the director of the poverty alleviation office.

Liu Haoran is incredibly talented and is undoubtedly one of the best among the new generation of actors!
The decision to cast these two actors was made immediately, with the commentator jokingly saying, "The nation's future stars; injecting fresh blood is also a way to invigorate them, hahaha."

"Choosing Song Jia to star in 'The Escort' is a great idea!"

"That's right! Tong Liya is also very suitable. She has an exotic charm and a versatile appeal, and her acting skills are outstanding!"

"Zhang Zifeng's acting skills are top-notch! She's been in the industry for a long time and can handle all kinds of roles!"

The drama "Daytime Meteor" tells the story of Zhuri participating in the military parade, and the growth process of a female pilot who goes from disobeying to helping her teammates troubleshoot aircraft malfunctions during the preparation for flight.

In a short period of time, it not only showcased a task milestone but also depicted a character's growth trajectory.

This narrative approach is similar to that of "Volver," with the advantage of a strong sense of completeness, but the disadvantage is its length, and the two timelines may disrupt the audience's emotional flow. Therefore, the choice of actors is particularly important.

The final decision was to cast Song Jia, Tong Liya, Zhang Zifeng, Lei Jiayin, and Han Dongjun in the roles.

And so, the decision was made in high spirits!
Why is everyone sitting down? Come on, let's have a toast!

"cheers!"

After everyone's laughter subsided, Zhou Yang politely asked the directors to choose their preferred scripts.

"Distinguished directors, you are undoubtedly among the best in the industry. I am keenly aware of my own shortcomings and the many things I need to learn from you all. It is truly an honor for us to have you all here today. We have seven scripts before us; please choose the one you like best!"

Zhou Yang waved gently, showing exceptional sincerity.

"Is this appropriate? Won't it put you at a disadvantage?" one director couldn't help but ask.

"Great magnanimity!" another director praised.

The directors showered him with compliments, but were impressed by Zhou Yang's composure.

"No, no, let everyone discuss and decide."

“As long as I have the script, I can make it! What’s there to be proud of?” someone laughed.

"Your eloquence is something else!" another person teased.

"Then I won't be polite!" Zhang Yi took "Encounter" without hesitation, and Wen Mu couldn't hide her disappointment.
