Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 183 Someone wants to steal Cheng Xi's girlfriend
After Cheng Xi finished looking through the archival materials for the male characters, he went on to look at some actresses.

In this drama, it can be said that the men are basically tools. Since it is a drama with a strong female lead, it is understandable.

Even Emperor Li Zhi was so irrationally in love with his stepmother Wu Meiniang that he was willing to give up his kingdom for her.

So you can imagine how happy women feel when they see these scenes.

The most powerful man in the world - the emperor - loves no one but is obsessed with himself.

And there are two of them at once, and each one loves me more fiercely than the other.

If the man and woman switched places, the same thing would probably happen, and no one would be able to handle this plot.

Men see that it is full of beauties with big breasts, which is even more exciting than "The City is Full of Big-Breasted Girls", and it all revolves around one man.

You can automatically take on the role of the emperor.

The result was that it attracted both men and women, creating super high ratings!

Therefore, the female characters in the drama "The Empress of China" are crucial. Not only do they need to have good acting skills, but they also need to be beautiful.

The various concubines, talented women, and even palace maids are portrayed very well.

Unlike men, whose dreams are all about achieving great things, those grand things.

Women go to the harem to win favor and live a better life.

Therefore, the focus is very concentrated, and the story always revolves around a conflict, which is constantly escalating. It is clear, easy to understand, interesting and exciting.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but sigh that the female competition was really exciting.

The characters in the story basically all have tragic endings, and if they lose, they die.

Cheng Xi was thinking while looking through the information in his hand.

It has been basically decided that Zhang Tianai will play Xu Hui, the best friend of the second female lead Wu Meiniang.

After all, if it is appropriate, we will definitely promote the white-collar artists first.

As for the early boss Concubine Wei, Cheng Xi felt that Zhang Ting, chosen by the original drama, played the role very mediocrely.

She doesn't have the aura of being the head of the four concubines or the boss of the harem at all.

When acting, he showed his viciousness on his face.

Moreover, with the entire Tang Dynasty harem being so full of scandals, it would be very abrupt if she didn't reveal anything.

Cheng Xi took out the character list and compared it carefully, thinking for a moment.

An arrow was drawn next to Concubine Wei and Li Xiaoran was written.

The eldest princess in "Joy of Life" after Da Ran is a crazy character.

After all, the award-winning movie heroine has put her acting skills to the test, so she should be able to easily play a role in a palace fight.

Thinking of this, I picked up the phone and called Li Xiaoran:

"Hey, Da Ran."

"Hey, Dacheng, wait a minute. I have something to do. I'll call you back later."

"Hey, get up quickly, we..."

Cheng Xi didn't expect this to be the result of the call.

After hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, Cheng Xi felt a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that she is now with the man that Xin Zhilei mentioned last time, the one who always pesters her?
I was just thinking about stealing Da Hei Niu's girl, but I didn't expect that someone is stealing my girl now.

What do you mean by get up quickly?

This sentence can be applied in many scenarios.

Cheng Xi shook his head and didn't want to think too much about it.

Anyway, she said she would call back later.

Sometimes I feel sad that I may not care enough about the women around me.

Let’s continue looking at the characters.

There is also a very outstanding character in the early stage of "The Empress of China", that is Xiao Qiang, also known as Xiao Cairen, played by Sun Jiaqi.

As the niece of Concubine Wei, she has been at odds with Wu Meiniang since she entered the palace.

Relying on the protection of the master of the harem, she is arrogant and domineering, but in fact she is just a stupid beauty in the harem.

Her exaggerated facial expressions and her ability to roll her eyes at every turn made her the first female character in the show to become popular.

It is really unexpected.

The studio itself has no good options for this role.

Cheng Xi still prefers Sun Jiaqi, but he doesn't know how Sun Jiaqi's acting skills are now.

And she is not in the information.

So I wrote a note in the back of the character and invited her to come for an audition when the time comes.

Cheng Xi remembered that she was from the Central Academy of Drama and should be about the same age as him.

Cheng Xi continued to flip through the pages and found old friends Mao Xiaotong, Tan Songyun and others.

They failed the last time they auditioned for "The Beginning", and they came again this time.

It seems like he still really wants to be on my show.

Now that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has started airing, both of them participated in it.

At present, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is only popular in a small area and is broadcast on local TV stations.

It hadn't been aired yet, that was when it became a big hit.

So if there are suitable roles, they can be considered.

In the end, Cheng Xi actually found Xin Zhilei's information. She is quite capable.

Don’t tell me and just hand in the materials.

Maybe it's just to express an attitude and do things in a fair and impartial manner.

I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about Xin Zhilei biting her lips stubbornly while directing.

Because there are so many female characters in the play, there are thirty or forty concubines, talented women, and palace maids with names.

Choose the important parts yourself, and take a look at the unimportant parts yourself, as long as they are roughly the same.

There are also many supporting roles serving as background boards, and these are handled by the assistant casting director.

After reading the information, not many people were satisfied.

So Cheng Xi asked Li Wentao to arrange a casting event for "The Empress of China".

Since most of the characters in the play are young girls, I asked them to focus on selecting actors from three schools: the Central Academy of Drama, the Beijing Dance Academy, and my own film academy.

Of course, materials from other schools or other actors are also required.

Let them roughly screen the materials, and then you can participate in the audition yourself.

Cheng Xi put forward three key requirements: good breasts, good looks, and decent acting skills.

Not to mention, it’s really hard to find these three combined.

I don't really have breasts, but at least I can squeeze some out.

Cheng Xi was thinking about how to get the role while occasionally checking his phone.

I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy.

He even suspected that it was because of the conversation he had just had with Da Ran.

Although I haven't been with Da Ran for a long time.

But the feeling of being together is really happy and relaxing.

But on the other hand, Cheng Xi knew clearly that he could not give her what he promised.

Secondly, as a famous actress and a great beauty, it is normal for her to have her own life.

It would be abnormal if no one pursued her. Can I stop him?

What if Da Ran really chooses someone else?

How to do?
For the first time, Cheng Xi considered the possibility that the woman next to him might leave him.

Of course I don't want this to happen, but I can't give you any results.

Do you want to let someone wait for you for the rest of your life?

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi couldn't help but pinch his temples with his hands.

At this time, Deng Jie knocked on the office door and came in.

I was given a bunch of documents to sign myself.

Looking at the boss pinching his temples and frowning.

Deng Jie suddenly said:

"Boss, let me give you a massage. I know how to do it."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he looked at her standing in front of him.

This lady looks a bit like Kurosawa Chi-ling in this outfit.

So he blinked and nodded slightly.

After getting permission, Deng Jie looked delighted and came behind Cheng Xi's boss chair.

First she laid her head down, then slowly reached out her slender hand and pressed down.

Although girls don’t have much strength, they have nails that can relax the scalp very well.

"How do you know this?" Cheng Xi asked curiously.

"Oh, that's what Mr. Li told me when he came last time. He said the boss has a lot of things to deal with, and a head massage would be much more comfortable."

“Now that there are fewer people in the studio, there are more things to worry about, so I went out of my way to learn it.”

Hearing Deng Jie's slightly coquettish voice, Cheng Xi actually thought it was Kurosawa Chiling.

At this moment, Cheng Xi remembered that Li Wentao had asked him what he thought of Deng Jie last time.

That look of giving me a look.

Damn, is this the secretary he found to train himself?
Didn't he find it for himself?

I said before that Li Wentao likes this model.

It turns out that they were just guessing my preferences.

Wentao, am I such a person?
The boss is impressed by your ability to read people's expressions. You are almost on par with Mr. Zeng.

Wentao, I strongly suspect that you want to make progress too much.

But I have to say that Deng Jie's technique is still good.

Combined with the sweet voice, it is very relaxing.

Just when Cheng Xi was about to fall asleep and was enjoying himself halfway.

A call came in on the cell phone. Cheng Xi saw it was from Da Ran and waited three times.

Picked up.

"Da Cheng, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I had something urgent to deal with at the club. Did I make you wait anxiously?"

Hearing Da Ran's somewhat nervous voice on the phone, Cheng Xi couldn't vent his anger at all.

"Well, are you taking a nap in Yunjian now?"

"Well, yes, Da Cheng is coming."

"Okay, I'll come over then. I just happened to have something to talk to you about."

Da Ran's tone was a little cheerful.

Cheng Xi heard what he wanted to say on the phone.

Decided to go there.

It’s really time for me to go there and relax. I haven’t been there for a long time.

Otherwise, I would be afraid of making mistakes and falling into Li Wentao's trap of trying to guess his boss's preferences.

Alas, ever since I became a 6 million director, there have been more and more temptations around me.

There are gentle traps everywhere.

I can't just let myself be hunted down.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xi said to Deng Jie:

"Don't press it. Tell the driver, Master Zhao, to meet me downstairs in five minutes."

"Ok."

Deng Jie hurried out of the office, hating the phone call just now.

As soon as Cheng Xi got downstairs, he saw Li Xiaoran waiting for him at the door.

When he saw me coming out of the car, he came up to me happily and put his arm around Cheng Xi.

"You are so attentive today, have you done anything wrong?"

Cheng Xi deliberately teased her with words.

Unexpectedly, when Da Ran heard Cheng Xi say this, he paused and said quickly:

"No way. Dacheng hasn't been here for a long time, so I have to wait patiently."

After saying that, he took Cheng Xi in through the back door of the club this time.

"Why don't you go through the front door?"

"The front door is being cleaned."

Cheng Xi nodded without comment.

Da Ran still took Cheng Xi to the innermost, quietest and most comfortable Supreme VIP room.

Not long after, Qingqing and Manman came in.

Qingqing and Manman are now gradually becoming familiar with Cheng Xi, and they also know that he is Teacher Zuibai.

In the past, they always looked very happy to see Cheng Xi, but today they seemed a little strange.

Cheng Xi has been really busy lately, and Deng Jie was not satisfied even halfway through her massage.

So I decided to continue here and see what Da Ran was doing.

The technique is still as gentle and comfortable as ever.

He also knows how to apply the right amount of force.

After the massage, Da Ran said to Cheng Xi:
"Da Cheng, wait for me, I'm going to get something from the car."

"Okay, I'll take a break and wait for you."

Seeing that the boss had gone out, Qingqing and Manman also prepared to leave the room.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xi said:
"Manman, please stay for a while."

When they heard this, they were both stunned.

Qingqing looked at him with a bit of envy, then closed the door and went out.

Manman, a very generous girl, suddenly stood at the door at a loss.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of me?"

"No, no. Teacher Cheng has always been very nice to me."

"Manman, I have a drama coming up soon and I'm looking for some supporting actors. Your image fits the bill. Would you like to give it a try?"

Cheng Xi looked at the full figure, which was very consistent with the style of the Tang Dynasty.

There is a sense of peace and prosperity.

Of course, considering that she is not a professional, she is at most a supporting actor.

"Ah? Really, Teacher Cheng Cheng, can I be an actor?"

"I don't know if you can pass it, but you can try. I'll talk to your boss and keep the job for you."

"Really? Thank you, Teacher Cheng. I'm willing to try."

"Okay, I'll arrange it then."

"I have something to ask you."

"Teacher Cheng, please speak."

"Who came to the club to see your boss today?"

"what?"

"It's okay, I'm just concerned and I'll keep it a secret for you."

Manman never thought that this would be the last question Cheng Xi asked.

Looking at Cheng Xi waiting for his answer.

Thinking about the promise Cheng Xi had just made to her, and regarding Cheng Xi and that person, she and Qingqing were both on Cheng Xi's side.

The two even shared a common hatred for the enemy.

Then he gritted his teeth and said:
"He's a good friend of the boss for over ten years. He came to the club to propose."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he realized that someone was trying to steal my girl.

The last time Xin Zhilei reminded herself, she didn’t take it seriously.

This directly hit the base of mine and Da Ran.

"In the front living room?"

"Yes, there are quite a lot of things placed there. Are you still cleaning them up?"

No wonder Da Ran let me in through the back door.

"But, Mr. Cheng, the boss flatly refused!"

"The boss was a little worried at first, but when he heard you were coming, he was very happy and immediately told us to prepare."

It would be a lie to say that the people below don’t understand the thoughts of those above them.

Don't look like you are a little dumber than Qingqing.

But you know what you should know, and don’t say too much about what you shouldn’t say.

If I hadn't told her about the actor first, and Manman also stood on Cheng Xi's side.

I guess I can't ask her about her boss.

After the two talked for a few more words, Da Ran came in with a bag in her hand.

When he saw that there were only two people in the room, Da Ran asked curiously:
"Where's Qingqing? Why is Manman alone?"

Cheng Xi replied:
"No, I asked Manman to stay. I thought she was suitable to be a supporting actor in the new drama."

"How about it, are you willing to let me borrow your club's treasures for a few months?"
