Chapter 219: Casting for "Joy of Life", The Shura Lineup? (Updated Yesterday)

During the preparation of "Joy of Life", or in other words, since "Eastern Palace", more and more people in the circle have been thinking about Wei Yang.

There are many people who are more daring than Tang Yan. They even pretend to be sick when they go home, block the door of the toilet when eating, and even drug them.

Don't think it's exaggerated, there are too many people who want to be famous in the entertainment industry.

If they can catch up with Wei Yang's popularity, it will be the fame and fortune that ordinary people can't imagine in their lifetime. The return rate is too high, and most people can't stand this temptation.

Those fat, greasy and wretched directors and producers have a group of girls gritting their teeth and throwing themselves at them, not to mention young handsome men like Wei Yang who are talented and rich.

Except for a few people with a higher moral index, others can easily make this decision.

Even if they don't get the benefits, they won't suffer any loss. If they get the role, they will make a lot of money.

Fortunately, Wei Yang has a good alcohol tolerance, is cautious, and has a bodyguard with him, otherwise he would have lost his virginity long ago...

So, except for the first few events that he couldn't push away, Wei Yang rarely accepted social events in the later period, and even asked for a plain venue for some social events, just in case he failed to keep it and was caught by others.

Lao Xia also helped him share a lot of firepower, and let Wei Yang focus more on the preparation of "Celebrating More Than Years".

Especially in the casting work, Wei Yang is relatively strict, and even participated in it personally.

Other roles are okay, basically others invest in materials or participate in interviews, and the "Celebrating More Than Years" crew selects, even some popular young actors and actresses are no exception.

Only for the role of Emperor Qing, Wei Yang wanted to find a big name, so ordinary people couldn't handle it, so he had to do it himself.

In late February, Wei Yang personally flew to Beijing to visit Chen Daoming, but finally returned disappointed.

Chen Daoming is not opposed to acting in TV dramas. Whether he can agree to play a supporting role for Wei Yang can actually be discussed. He had previously played a supporting role with Jay Chou in "Chilling", and later also played a supporting role role in "My First Half of Life" and "The Golden Years".

To put it bluntly, this person is not as detached from the world as the outside world thinks. If the conditions are sufficient, he may not be unmoved.

But unfortunately, Chen Daoming has already accepted Gao Xixi's "Legend of Chu and Han".

"Legend of Chu and Han" is expected to invest 240 million yuan, which is not inferior to "Qing Yu Nian". Liu Bang is the first male lead and a role that Chen Daoming personally wants to play very much.

In comparison, although the role of Emperor Qing is brilliant, it is a character in an online novel after all. Not to mention the older generation, even ordinary people feel that they can't compare with Emperor Gaozu of Han.

The cooperation can only fall through, and Wei Yang retreats to contact Zhang Guoli and Chen Baoguo.

These two are not as difficult as Chen Daoming, but they also have their own conditions.

Zhang Guoli hopes that his company will also participate in the "Celebrating More Years" project and share a piece of the pie.

Wei Yang had known this for a long time, but there were too many people watching "Joy of Life", and the plate had been divided up. If one more person came in, the others would get less, and there was another round of arguments.

Chen Baoguo's condition was very simple, to give his son a role.

Regardless of whether it was at home or abroad, second-generation stars were an issue that many producers could not avoid.

Their parents had worked hard all their lives and had fame and status, so they hoped that their children would have some prospects. Other industries had no resources, and their children could not make it on their own, so they could only go to the entertainment industry.

You invited these big-name old actors, and you could negotiate any role, and you could make concessions on the pay. They only had one request, hoping to help their children.

Wei Yang had no special opinion on second-generation stars, and he understood this behavior, and he did not even reject this kind of "passing on the knowledge and helping others".

But the premise was that it could not affect the quality of the work!

Chen Baoguo's son Wei Yang knew that, to be honest, his acting skills were just so-so, and they were only slightly better than the traffic-rich young actors, and they could even be said to be the same.

But just because he had a good father and participated in many good projects, Chen Baoguo would arrange a role for him every time he filmed a drama. The good reputation accumulated by his father throughout his life was criticized by many people because of his son when he was old.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is the most watched project in the circle. Chen Baoguo is not the only one who wants to insert a relationship with him. Wei Yang almost rejected all of them.

The very few who slipped through the net just played a harmless little role.

Although he really wanted to invite Chen Baoguo to perform, Wei Yang did not mean to sacrifice the quality of "Celebrating More Than Years". He directly exposed his cards to Lao Chen.

I have seen your son's drama. His acting skills are not good. He does not have a share in important supporting roles. If you don't mind supporting roles, you can arrange it.

However, before Chen Baoguo got angry, Wei Yang proposed another solution.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is not good, but Blue Whale is not the only drama, and Wei Yang himself can influence more crews.

Although his son cannot get an important role in "Celebrating More Than Years", Wei Yang can arrange a suitable role for his son in other crews.

Wei Yang can even help introduce some producers and directors. If the father and son are capable, it is not impossible for them to get a male lead.

Although Chen Baoguo is a well-known big name in the industry, he is different from a capital boss like Wei Yang.

He wants to promote his son, but he has only himself as a bargaining chip, and in most cases he can only lead one. If Wei Yang wants to promote his son, he has many ways to make people sell face.

Chen Baoguo discussed with his family overnight and immediately agreed with Wei Yang's statement the next day.

This exchange with Wei Yang actually opened the door to a new world for him. It didn’t matter what role his son could get this time, but if he got along well with Wei Yang, he might be able to let his son hook up with this rising star in the circle in the future.

He opened the door, and Wei Yang also gained a lot.

Everyone has their own weaknesses. Ordinary artists want to become famous, popular artists want to continue to climb up, and successful old artists may just want to be famous and have younger generations.

Analyze the situation clearly, make detours, and hit the key points directly. Wei Yang thinks that these experiences will be helpful for him to capture some hard-to-hire big names in the future.

…

At the end of February, "Celebrating More Than Years" announced that it would start filming on March 10, and announced a part of the confirmed cast list.

Chen Baoguo (Emperor Qing), Wu Gang (Chen Pingping), Wang Jinsong (Fan Jian), Liu Shishi (Chicken Leg Girl), Chen Su (Princess), Lin Gengxin (Prince), Cui Peng (Wuzhu), Wang Yang (Teng Zijing), Zeng Li (Auntie Liu), Zhang Songwen (Shen Zhong), Li Jiahang (Guo Baokun), Shen Teng (Senior Brother Leng)………

Surprise performances Fan Xiaopang (Ye Qingmei), Zhan Doudou (Yang Mi)

As soon as this lineup came out, the outside world suddenly became noisy. The lineup was more luxurious than they thought.

Especially Chen Baoguo, "Han Wudi" and "The Ming Dynasty 1566" are not a joke. He is one of the ceilings of the emperor series. I didn't expect Wei Yang to bring him here.

And most of the remaining people are not unknown, and many of them are made famous by Blue Whale or Wei Yang.

For example, Wang Yang, Cui Peng, Wang Jinsong, and Lin Gengxin all became famous by participating in Wei Yang's dramas. I didn't expect them to be gathered together this time.

However, the most eye-catching thing is that Wei Yang and Liu Shishi are working together again after "Twinkle Twinkle Star", and Fan and Yang are making special appearances.

Many netizens joked that Wei Yang is really capable and dares to bring several people together.

So far, many female stars who have had scandals with Wei Yang have been deeply dug up. Among those suspected of having an affair with Wei Yang, Liu, Fan, and Na are the most suspected.

Especially the first two, the love triangle was the annual gossip topic in the past two years, and has been repeatedly discussed by many Tianya netizens.

This time, the two co-starred in "Celebrating Yu Nian". Although it is estimated that they will not meet and there is no rivalry, it is enough to surprise everyone.

What's more interesting is that if you count by role this time, Fan Xiaopang plays Wei Yang's "real mother" and Liu Shishi's "mother-in-law", which is really a lot of fun.

A group of netizens who like to watch the fun and don't mind the big things also voted online, strongly supporting Na Zha and Yang Rong, who had a scandal with Wei Yang, to play Haitang Duoduo and Fan Ruoruo.

In this way, the Shura field in the play is also the Shura field outside the play. After the trilogy of "Celebrating Yu Nian", Tianya has never lacked gossip for two or three years.

However, there are fans of the original novel who question some of the casting.

For example, the character of Ye Qingmei is a strong, calm and slightly crazy idealist in the impression of many people. Fan Xiaopang's fairy face is more or less a bit out of place.

The same is true for Da Mimi. The little emperor Zhan Doudou is a woman dressed as a man in the plot. How many layers of cloth must be wrapped around Da Mimi's heart.

Wei Yang is not ignorant of this truth, but sometimes, although it is necessary to pay attention to the fit of the role, it is also necessary to consider publicity.

Fan Xiaopang is not to mention, Da Mimi is also very popular now.

In early February, the finale of "Eastern Palace" was followed by the broadcast of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" by Si Yatou, which set off a wave of Qing Dynasty wear.

Although many people complained that this drama was a palace version of "Meteor Garden", the plot of the succession struggle was just a child's play compared to "Eastern Palace", and the Abao-colored costumes and filters were also criticized by history enthusiasts.

But the plot is so cool!

A modern girl traveled to ancient times and was fought over by a group of handsome guys. With all kinds of Mary Sue and the halo of the heroine, and the banner of the first Qing Dynasty drama, it naturally attracted a large number of viewers.

The silent majority is always the majority. "Palace Lock Heart Jade" has a bad reputation, but the ratings are rising all the way.

It has been the first in the same period for more than ten consecutive days, with an average rating of over 2.5, and the number of online broadcasts and topics are also rising. If it weren't for "Eastern Palace", this drama would be the most dazzling existence at the beginning of 2011.

As a drama with a big heroine, it is also the first and the core of the plot. Da Mimi kills like crazy with the role of [Qingchuan]

At one time, she surpassed Na Zha on Weibo, Tianya Tieba and other platforms and became the most popular female star at the moment. With the popularity she had accumulated, she is now trying to become a first-line actress.

A topic queen, an Asian superstar!

A newly popular first-line actress!

It is no exaggeration to say that the two guest roles in "Celebrating Yu Nian" can save Wei Yang at least millions or even more in publicity costs.

Just for this reason alone, some so-called flaws in casting cannot be ignored.

Wei Yang values ​​the quality of TV series, but he is also a businessman. Chen Baoguo's son is not worth his concession, but the popularity of the two top stars is different.

Besides, who stipulates that idealists cannot have a face that brings disaster to the country and the people? If Ye Qingmei is not good-looking, she can fascinate a group of big men for a lifetime and give birth to a super handsome man like Fan Xian.

Why should women who dress up as men require men to be thin? Isn't it okay for the emperor to be delicate and love fitness?

In the final analysis, many people just fantasize about the text in the book. When they really shoot it, the characters unconsciously match.

These two people are not something that ordinary people can invite now. It's just that Boss Wei has a lot of face, and even then, he has to sacrifice himself and use favors.

Is it easy for him! ?
