Chapter 664 664. Initiative

"Why not?" Nie Wei answered as a matter of course, but then he gave Luo Yuan a condition: "The cost of this time cannot exceed one million, and you must clearly tell her that there is no place for her in the second female lead of the new drama."

"Okay, I understand." Luo Yuan nodded. The conditions given by Nie Wei were loose enough, but they were also difficult.

The looseness was in the amount. For a female artist with almost no fame, even if her company could see the potential of this little girl, it was not easy to withstand the temptation of money. Nie Wei gave a limit of one million, and its value was far beyond Zhang Meng's current worth. Luo Yuan had a lot of room for operation.

But the difficulty also lies in the second condition given by Nie Wei, that there is no place for Zhang Meng in the second female lead of the new drama.

This also means that Luo Yuan has lost a very important weight in her hand, but she is not panicking, because Huayi behind her is her biggest backer. Luo Yuan believes that even if there is no role of the second female lead in the new drama, facing the choice between the original company and Huayi, the girl should be able to make the right choice.

After the main roles were confirmed, Nie Wei also started to contact several important supporting roles.

The first person to be confirmed was the actress who would play the role of the grandmother of the male protagonist in the film, Gui Yalei, who had worked with Nie Wei many times.

When Nie Wei called Gui, she had just finished filming a play and was resting at home. After receiving Nie Wei's invitation, she only considered it for a day and accepted the invitation.

There were three reasons why Gui Yalei was willing to give up her vacation to take the role. One was that she had a pleasant cooperation with Nie Wei, the second was that the filming location was in Taiwan, which was her hometown, and the last reason was that the role was really cute, and it was rare that there was a touching love line.

Gui Yalei had played enough of the stereotyped roles in China, and she was interested when she saw such an interesting role by chance.

As for the mother of the heroine, Nie Wei sent someone to find the actress who played this role in the original version, Ling Meixiu.

It was not difficult to find an actor, because Ling Meixiu was not an unknown person at that time. In 2004, she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Asia Pacific Film Festival for the movie "Black Dog Comes", and she was a famous "mother" in Taiwan, because she often played the role of a mother on TV.

So the artist sent by Nie Wei found this actor as soon as he asked around.

When she heard that Huayi and Zhongtiantai were preparing a new drama starring Nie Wei and Cheng Kun, Ling Meixiu agreed without saying a word. For this reason, she also turned down a drama that had been almost negotiated, intending to prepare wholeheartedly for Nie Wei's new drama.

There are not many fools in this industry, not to mention that Ling Meixiu has been in this industry for more than 20 years. She knows very well what opportunities are.

Take the drama she turned down for example, it was just a 8 o'clock drama in Taiwan, and a drama has at least hundreds of episodes, but the investment may not be as much as the ten episodes of Nie Wei's drama.

Moreover, the casts of both sides are not of the same level. Apart from other things, with Nie Wei and Cheng Kun in charge, this TV series will not worry about the ratings at all. Moreover, she had heard that this drama was treated as its super drama of the year by Zhongtian TV. If she gave up this diamond-level idol drama for that eight o'clock drama, she would be stupid.

After Ling Meixiu was settled, the two candidates Wu Lulu and Wu Qiqi were also found smoothly.

However, Nie Wei and his name did not seem to be universal. At least when looking for the role of secretary, Nie Wei encountered a little setback. Originally, Nie Wei wanted to be lazy and directly find Na Weixun in the original version to play the role, but he did not expect that when the staff he sent out came to the door, he found that the other party had already joined the group to film.

The result was naturally that the other party declined Nie Wei's invitation.

This made Nie Wei have to worry about who to find for this role, especially the sissy characteristics of this role, which is really not something that ordinary people can handle.

After answering the phone, Nie Wei's expression became distressed. Seeing this, Luo Kai, who was standing by, asked about it with concern. Nie Wei did not hide it and told him the situation.

"What kind of actors are there in this circle? I will ask for you right now." After listening to Nie Wei's distress, Luo Kai immediately patted his chest and promised that he would ask Nie Wei right away.

After making a promise, Luo Kai directly opened his laptop, logged into QQ, and sent a message in the group.

"Who of you has a male actor with a slightly feminine temperament?"

After Luo Kai sent the message, everyone in the group who was originally chatting happily suddenly seemed to have pressed the pause button. Suddenly, no one in the entire group chatted. After waiting for more than ten seconds, no one saw a reply.

"Hello, am I offline?"

"Do you have any artists like this? Please reply. We are looking for actors for Nie Wei's new drama. We need actors like this, and they have a lot of roles."

Luo Kai sent three messages in a row, but still no one replied. Luo Kai opened the webpage in confusion and found that the network was completely normal. When he closed the webpage and was about to ask these people what they were doing, no one in the group replied to him, but in the private chat, there was a sudden "ding ding ding" sound.

Luo Kai opened a few of them and found that they were all sending him actor information. It seems that these guys didn't reply to him, but they were all running to get information.

"Brother Luo Kai, I have a male artist who is very effeminate. He usually likes to wear bright red and pink and speaks in a coquettish voice. If I didn't know he had a girlfriend, I would have suspected him. Please take a look at his information. I beg Brother Luo Kai to give me a chance. I will definitely treat you to a good time in the future."

"Senior Luo Kai, this male artist of mine has very good acting skills. He can be tough or gentle. Don't look at his beard and tea-pulling appearance. He is very similar to a effeminate person. Don't you think this is more cute in contrast? Senior Luo Kai, please help recommend him."

"Luo Kai, there is no need to talk about the relationship between us brothers. You can pick any male artist under my buddy. I will make him a female artist if he is not a female artist. Don't worry, as long as my artist can be selected by Nie Wei, I will definitely give you great benefits after the success."

In order to recommend their own artists, these people really use various means. In one sentence, they use every possible means. Some of them not only recommend male artists, but also want to bring their own female artists. The photos sent by them also make Luo Kai feel hot. I really don't know what these people think about every day.

"Luo Kai, I asked you to find a male artist for me, not a very charming female artist. Don't tell me that I can dress up as a man." Just when Luo Kai opened a dialog box, Nie Wei's voice suddenly came from behind him.

After hearing Nie Wei's words, Luo Kai noticed that there was no information about any male artist in the dialog box he opened, but a female artist in a swimsuit, posing some shameless postures, which made Luo Kai's old face blush immediately, and he quickly closed the dialog box.

"No, no, these guys are too unreliable. I asked them to recommend male artists with a more feminine temperament, but what did they recommend?" Luo Kai explained, full of resentment towards these unreliable people.

"Let me see." It was the first time that Nie Wei was interested in Luo Kai's agent friends. He squeezed Luo Kai aside and began to open the remaining dialog boxes.

The more Nie Wei looked, the more he wanted to laugh, because these people were really as Luo Kai said, most of them were too unreliable.

I asked Luo Kai to find some male artists with a more feminine temperament, but what were the pictures these guys sent? Either they showed off their muscles or they were posing coolly. Photos were fine, after all, few people would take photos of that kind of feminine temperament, but the recommendations of these people were even less reliable than photos.

Either they were exaggerating at first glance, or they didn't get to the point at all. Moreover, Nie Wei clicked on about ten messages, and half of the agents didn't bother to introduce their own artists, but actually took the trouble to flatter Luo Kai.

Praise him for his unique vision, praise him for his outstanding status, and even shameless people praise Luo Kai for being so handsome.

When Nie Wei saw this message, he couldn't help but look back at Luo Kai's old face, wondering if he was really blind, and didn't realize that his agent was actually one of the most handsome in their circle.

Luo Kai's old face turned red, he also saw that praise, and he felt guilty after reading it.

"Hey, Lao Luo, there is another one who recommends himself to her. I think this girl is good-looking. Seeing that you have been single for so many years, why don't you just accept her directly." Nie Wei opened another message, and after seeing the content and pictures in it, he immediately laughed and teased Luo Kai behind him.

This time Luo Kai couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed the mouse, and panickedly closed the open dialog box, and then chose to ignore all the messages. After doing all this, Luo Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

Nie Wei didn't stop Luo Kai from beginning to end, just looked at him with a smile.

"I will leave the group in a moment. This group of people is really, I didn't expect that they are all this kind of people. They are too unreliable, really unreliable." Luo Kai shouted loudly, as if raising his voice could make him draw a clear line between himself and these people in the group.

Nie Wei stopped making fun of Luo Kai and prepared to stand up and go to the side to call the company's logistics department and ask them to go to the data room to check the relevant celebrity information directly. In Nie Wei's opinion, this is much more reliable than Luo Kai asking these guys on OQ.

But just when Nie Wei wanted to get up, Luo Kai's QQ, which had not been closed, suddenly rang again. Luo Kai wanted to stop it, but he couldn't stop Nie Wei's curiosity. He watched Nie Wei open the message bar again.

Looking at Nie Wei's actions, Luo Kai had covered his eyes and prepared to be teased by Nie Wei, but after waiting for several seconds, he didn't notice Nie Wei's "cheap" voice to him. He put down his hand and looked over, but found that Nie Wei, who was sitting on the chair, was now ecstatic, as if he had discovered some treasure.

"Do you know this agent named Song Min?" Seeing Luo Kai looking at him in surprise, Nie Wei pointed at the screen and asked.

"No impression, anyway, he is not a big shot." Luo Kai's meaning was very simple. This Song Min was probably just a small agent, who didn't even have a company, not even an agent, but just an agent, a small person who earned an agency fee.

"Contact him, meet him privately, and ask him to invite this actor out. Then ask this actor if he wants to sign with Huayi." Nie Wei pointed at the photo on the screen and instructed Luo Kai.

Hearing what Nie Wei said, Luo Kai also became curious. He came forward and looked at the photo on Nie Wei's screen carefully. He found that this was a very handsome actor with a sunny smile. Luo Kai himself did not see the temperament of a woman in this actor. How did Nie Wei see it?

This doubt existed in Luo Kai's heart, but he did not ask it, because he felt that after meeting this actor, perhaps everything would be clear.

Nie Wei solved the role of secretary so coincidentally. Among the remaining supporting roles, only the eldest and second sisters of the heroine were more important.

According to Nie Wei's idea, the artists who originally played these two roles were also actors who debuted at the moment, and after finding out the information, it was found that they were not rookies, but very experienced actors. Nie Wei thought about just asking them to play.

But what surprised Nie Wei was that just when she was about to ask someone to finalize these two, someone came to her door and took the initiative to ask to play the eldest sister of the heroine in the play.

After entering the house, when Nie Wei was still wondering what Jiang Xin was doing, Jiang Xin directly stated the reason for her coming. She wanted to play the role of the eldest sister Chen Qingxia.

"Nie Wei, I want to play this role, and I am ready. You can audition for me at any time." Facing Nie Wei, Jiang Xin expressed her strong desire to play this role.

Nie Wei was a little surprised and asked hurriedly: "Do you know what this role is like?"

"I know that Jiangmu Island is a flower, but she is a divorced old girl who stays at home all day and is disliked by her mother. However, this role is not without advantages. She is a warm-hearted person. Although she bullies and dislikes the heroine on weekdays, she can stand up to protect her sister and help her sister at critical moments."

"In addition, even if she has a failed marriage, she is not afraid of love and has the courage to pursue it."

"Since you know so much, you should also know that this role is not the kind of beautiful one, and sometimes even the kind of role that the audience dislikes. Are you willing to play this?" This is also what Nie Wei is confused about.

Jiang Xin is famous enough, so she really doesn't need to play this kind of role, but Jiang Xin herself doesn't think so.

"There is no distinction between high and low roles, and I am also a grassroots actor. I have played many different roles. I don't just ask for beautiful roles. I only like to play roles I like." After saying that, Jiang Xin looked at Nie Wei with a pleading look.

Thank you for the generous reward from Fantasy Paradise, which is one of the few times in life that I am tired.
