Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 704: Marginal People in Farming Literature (6)

The commotion on the Internet will only last for a few days, and there will always be new gossip to replace the hot search. Except for a few fans and bored people who are keen on digging out the secrets behind it, there is no need to worry too much.

Shen Yao didn't care, Jiang Hanzhou didn't take it to heart, and other people with ulterior motives were even more powerless. As for the online fun-loving people and spectators, they would be wherever there was fun and gossip. They were not just there to enjoy the gossip, so it didn't affect them at all.

The popularity of the new book being updated is increasing day by day. Shen Yao updates a certain amount of text every day, and spends the rest of the time communicating with the novel adaptation staff. The progress of "Palace Strategy" has undergone new changes, and the relevant team has been almost formed (the main composition, and other aspects need to be filled in slowly). As the author of the novel, Shen Yao has absolute authority on the content of the work. If it involves things that others cannot agree on, Shen Yao needs to come forward to resolve them.

Fortunately, although this adaptation team has many people, they are not arrogant at all and have a good attitude when speaking and working. At least Shen Yao feels comfortable getting along with them.

"Really? But they're plotting against you behind your back," the system felt, "These people are not honest at all. They say one thing in public and another in private."

Shen Yao:......

"I'm asking you, have the discussion topics been changed?" Shen Yao smiled and pointed at her phone, which had gone black.

system:……

'But, they said bad things behind my back, they are bad guys!

Shen Yao was helpless, "We are all adults, just be polite to others. At other times, they are free to say whatever they want, as long as no one hears them." Who cares?

Are these people not allowed to complain? Everyone is an individual with their own personality. Shen Yao herself is not a RMB. It is impossible to please everyone. It is enough to get along with each other on the surface.

The system suddenly felt that the host seemed to have a good temper. The previous hosts all had their own problems and eventually chose to dissipate.

The system suddenly became happy. If its host behaved like this, wouldn't that just prove that the host could still accompany it for a long time? Suddenly excited!

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao didn't know why the system was so excited, but fortunately the system was cheerful and didn't disturb her, so she turned around and got busy with her own things.

Time flies, and it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The weather is getting warmer and people are changing into light short-sleeved shirts.

The crew of "The Palace" was officially announced, and it became a frequent hot search on the Internet at an incredible speed.

As the author of the novel "Palace Strategy", Shen Yao was naturally invited to join. Although she was not the official screenwriter, she also served as the director of the relevant scripts, which was considered extra income.

"Author Shen"

"Hello"

"Author Shen"

"..."

Shen Yao met Jiang Hanzhou here for the first time. After all, this man was the producer and investor of "Palace Conspiracy" and was the object of everyone's flattery.

The two met and shook hands with each other. Shen Yao handed over the character sketches of "Palace Strategy" that she had compiled. Jiang Hanzhou did not wear a mask this time and wore more casual clothes. He did not look like those well-dressed successful people, but more like a student who had just graduated, with a bit of bookish air.

Well

Shen Yao thought to herself that this person looked more educated than herself, which was probably because he was already successful now, otherwise he would easily suffer losses when discussing cooperation.

What Shen Yao didn't know was that when Jiang Hanzhou was just starting out, he relied on his fresh-faced face to cheat many people. This was the highest level of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. It also allowed him to successfully accumulate original funds for investment after leaving the family, successfully gain a foothold in this circle, and then reach his current status.

"Is Shen going to see the director?" Jiang Hanzhou had just left the director's office. The two of them briefly discussed the cast, especially several important characters, who were the key to whether the show would be a success.

Shen Yao nodded, indicating that the director had told her before that as the original author of the novel, she knew the characters in it better, and the people Tian Yu chose must be approved by the original author. This was not because the original author was so important, but because the mismatch between the characters would affect the direction of the entire plot and even the popularity of the show. After finally getting a good project, Tian Yu naturally wanted to add a new glory to his resume, and any factors that could affect the show would be excluded by him.

"Then we'll talk later."

"Ok."

The two passed each other and walked in two completely opposite directions.

dong dong dong-

Hearing the words "Come in" from inside, Shen Yao smiled, pushed open the closed door, walked to the chair opposite the director and sat down, looking at the busy director with an indifferent expression.

A long square table was covered with scattered A4 papers, printed with various contents related to "Palace Conspiracy".

Tian Yu was talking on the phone with his head tilted at this time. He didn't know who was on the other end of the phone, but it must be a serious matter that forced Tian Yu to speak without thinking and swear.

Shen Yao thought about the crew of "Palace Conspiracy". With a rich man like Jiang Hanzhou, they had no shortage of advance funds. Besides money, they also had role actors. Did the director's favorite candidate reject the script?

If that's the case, then

Without waiting for Shen Yao to think further, Tian Yu, who had just hung up the phone, apologized to Shen Yao, saying that he was a little upset and asked Shen Yao to bear with him.

"Director, you're too polite. Everyone has troubles sometimes, not to mention that you are responsible for the subsequent filming and early casting of the entire crew." It is inevitable that his temper will be bad. After all, in this circle where people are very good at taking advantage of others, being easy to talk to means that anyone can be taken advantage of.

Being too kind and easy to talk to is not an advantage in the entertainment industry.

Tian Yu sighed when he heard this. He scratched his slightly greasy hair again and again, but it still couldn't relieve the irritability and anxiety in his heart.

There was no need to hide it in front of Shen Yao. Tian Yu mentioned that the two male and female protagonists he liked both rejected the script of "Palace Strategy" that he handed over because of other projects.

Shen Yao:......

Oh, who on earth is so short-sighted? Her novel is quite popular, isn't it? Furthermore, it received such a huge amount of publicity in the past few months. With the director and other talented people in front of her as the basic team, most actors wouldn't have the confidence to tear up this script.

Then, Shen Yao heard the names of the two male and female protagonists from Tian Yu.

The male lead is Jiang Xiangxu, who started out in idol dramas but transformed himself through a few movies, with awkward results, and is currently stuck in a stage where he is neither going up nor down.

This person doesn't seem to be suitable for the role of Emperor Minghui because he is too good-looking. For an emperor, appearance is not the key point. The aura around him and the way he speaks are the key to determining this role.

The heroine is Bai Jinxin, who graduated from a professional film and television school. Her first film was the heroine in a big movie directed by a famous director. Her starting point was more Roman than Rome. As a result, not only was she not very ambitious, but the falling out with the famous director also brought her career to a standstill.

However, this person does fit the image of the heroine in "The Palace". Shen Zhuo is written completely according to the personality traits of Shen Yao in that life. He is scheming and good at pretending to be stupid, but he is also the kind of delicate, innocent and bright beauty.

Bai Jinxin later starred in many TV series and movies, some of which were pure vase images, which directly brought out her face to the extreme.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise. After all, Bai Jinxin has always set a high standard for herself, being seen as an excellent actress by others, so that people will think of the roles she has played whenever she is mentioned.

As a result, what people mention most about her now is her bright and beautiful face. Although it is not beneficial to her acting skills but harmful, it also allows her to gain a lot of financial compensation. After all, as the spokesperson for various brands, her fans are really good at buying things.

The heroine chosen for Tian Yu silently said it was a pity, and Shen Yao asked if it was impossible to win him back?

Tian Yu shook his head, "The male lead was recommended by the investors, and we can use him or not. Now that he is not coming, it will not restrict our selection of people.

As for the leading actress, she's accepted a realistic film that's said to be a strong contender for awards abroad, and she plans to devote herself to it wholeheartedly. She won't take on any other roles for a year, and we simply can't afford to wait."

The basic daily expenses of the crew alone are tens of thousands, and a drama takes at least two or three months. Even if Tian Yu can afford it, other investors will not agree for one person. Bai Jinxin is not a movie queen who is about to come down to earth, and she is not that valuable in the eyes of these investors.

I see. Then we really can't wait. The crew is under a lot of pressure, and it concerns the livelihoods of so many ordinary people. It is impossible to stop unless the project fails.

“Director, there are so many actors in the industry, I believe you can find a more suitable candidate.

These are the character biographies I wrote in advance. I've already given a copy to Producer Jiang. You can also take a look at them at your leisure. Perhaps they will be of some help to you."

When it comes to casting, the closer they are to the role, the better. The three people given by Shen Yao will all participate in the casting, so it is better to be prepared.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yu smiled and thanked Shen Yao for her help. At the same time, he invited Shen Yao to attend the casting interview in a few days. "Because these are the main actors, Writer Shen understands the characters' personalities better than we do. We all discuss with each other in order to make this drama better and better."

Yes, if this drama is successfully filmed, Shen Yao, as the original author, will have a certain chance of having her novel she is writing adapted and filmed (although the content may have to be greatly changed, the overall context can also be used as a reference), and for directors and others in the entertainment industry, there will be even more benefits.

The two had almost finished their discussion when Shen Yao came out of the director's studio and turned to find the screenwriter of "The Palace", who was also an old man with a brilliant resume. Although his attitude towards Shen Yao was neither hot nor cold, there were no problems in their daily communication, including communication on the script.

For example, some things in the novel that are not suitable for display on the big screen will be picked out and optimized directly by the screenwriter, and some unnecessary content will be discussed and adjusted by the two, so that the entire script can be connected more smoothly and the character logic line can stand up to scrutiny.

"Writer Zhao, if there's nothing else, we'll see you later."

"Okay, thank you to the author Shen for helping me sort out the details. See you in a few days."

After a busy day, Shen Yao returned to her residence and simply took a hot bath.

The place she rented was no longer the two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. Liu Jing had followed her parents' arrangements and planned to take the civil service exam and stay in her hometown. Shen Yao lived alone and had earned some money during this period, so she simply moved out and moved to a new residence.

Although the rent is several times higher than before, for Shen Yao, it is convenient to go out here and there are large brands and shopping malls around. If possible, she would consider paying the full amount.

After all, Shen Yao can rely on her parents for support. Her biological parents, the landlord and landlady, have saved enough money over the years to buy a house in Beijing.

Wearing light pajamas, with water droplets still dripping from her hair, Shen Yao sat down at the workbench and directly opened the black-screen laptop.

Ding--

Various push notifications appeared on the computer's webpage screen. After Shen Yao closed them one by one, she saw a piece of entertainment news that said, "Bai Jinxin will star in "Small". The drama is directed by the famous director Xing Kai and will be a strong competitor for the Golden Light Awards abroad." After all, everyone knows that Director Xing Kai became well-known in China because of his brilliant performance at the Golden Light Awards.

Shen Yao closed the news. She was not optimistic that Bai Jinxin could get the honor and recognition she wanted by just one year of hard work. As for foreign awards, everyone knew what they were like.

After finishing the manuscript and setting a time, Shen Yao dried her hair with a hair dryer, then lay back on the bed and fell asleep.

Shen Yao spent a few days at home eating, sleeping and writing every day. She went out again to participate in the casting event of the crew of "Palace Strategy".

The venue was set in a semi-enclosed building. Tian Yu and others were all present, and Shen Yao even saw representatives of investors among them.

Jiang Hanzhou is an investor, but he is just one of them. There are many investors in this drama, and all of them, big and small, together form a force.

'power?'

"Can it interfere with some less important castings, or rather, fill in the gaps?"

This is what's often called "bringing money into the production." Every crew has this kind of people, even those with plenty of money. After all, who wouldn't want to be without money? And if they're just trying to get someone in on minor roles that don't affect the main storyline, what's the big deal? Plus, even if things don't go right later, they can still delete the scene. They're not afraid of anything.

There are even many film crews that specially prepare some such dispensable but highly involved roles as a favor to investors. Regardless of whether they are used or not, they will not suffer any loss.

System: ...I see, I understand!

But does this crew also need to be stuffed with people? Those concubines in the harem are indeed fine. Anyway, background characters don’t need acting skills, just beauty. Some of them don’t even have lines, just showing their faces is enough.

Shen Yao:......

After walking in and greeting everyone, Shen Yao sat down next to screenwriter Zhao. On the other side was Jiang Hanzhou, who was reading a biography.

"Producer Jiang"

"Author Shen"

The two nodded and smiled, then turned to look forward at the same time.
