Spy Change 1943's director, Liang Peng, was a newcomer in the industry. He wasn't very famous, but he was a loyal fan of the original novel. It was Liang Peng's dream to turn his favorite novel into a TV series. Originally, because of his young age and lack of experience, Liang Peng found an investor who was willing to invest in his TV series. However, he ran into a few film and television distribution companies, but they were all rejected.
A bit discouraged, Liang Peng also read about Haihuang spending a lot of money on the newspaper. He also carefully looked up some information about Haihuang Entertainment before giving his script a try. What he didn't expect was that not only did Haihuang's director approve his script, but the movie queen, Su Wan, was also willing to join his small production.
Of course, Liang Peng naturally agreed to Haihuang's condition of increasing the investment and prioritizing the use of Haihuang's artists. In his opinion, with the movie queen Su Wan taking the lead, he could choose a male lead with decent acting skills and then use his connections to find two veteran actors to act with him. Then, this would be a success!
On the day of the audition, Wu Tong drove Su Wan to the predetermined location early in the morning. This was a street scene that Haihuang had rented a long time ago. The moment Su Wan arrived, a makeup artist immediately led her to a separate makeup room.
"Sister Wan, the internet is saying that the male lead of this movie is Lin Mu. Do you think President Tan can work with President Huang?"
The makeup artist, Jiu Ye, was a really cheerful and talkative young lady. Plus, she was a hardcore fan of Lin Mu and Su Wan.
Hearing Jiu Ye's words, Su Wan smiled faintly. "This will depend on the company's arrangements. President Tan will probably find external help but I'm not sure who."
Actually, according to Su Wan's original plot, the original male and female leads of [Spy Change 1943] were both newcomers in the circle. Thankfully, their acting skills were passable and the script was solid. This movie made the two famous overnight.
But now that Su Wan was the female lead of this movie, Haihuang naturally wouldn't find an unknown male actor to act as the male lead. Unless …
Unless that person was a new actor that Haihuang supported.
Thinking of this, Su Wan immediately felt a headache. Because she knew that Haihuang would raise a lot of celebrities in the future. The only one that could be called a superstar was Haihuang's number one student — Tan Yuchi.
Tan Yuchi was Tan Tian's nephew. As a member of the royal family, he naturally had access to all the best resources in Neptune. Moreover, Tan Yuchi had a devastatingly handsome face. In this society that valued looks, as long as he casually acted handsome in a TV series, he would immediately receive a dozen brainless, love-struck fans.
The male lead this time shouldn't be Tan Yuchi, right?
Su Wan changed into her audition costume. It was a set of blue and grey mandarin jacket. This time, she was playing the role of a female guerilla leader who wasn't well educated but was full of patriotic enthusiasm.
Looking at the girl in the mirror with a big black braid and big and bright eyes, Su Wan couldn't help but take out her phone, pouted and took a selfie, and then sent it to Su Rui –
The audition is starting. Is this braid pretty?
"Sister Wan, are you posting on Weibo? I'll give you a like! "
Jiu Ye saw Su Wan taking selfies and sending messages, so she couldn't help but ask.
Uh.
Su Wan then obediently took a beautiful selfie and posted it on her Weibo.
Su Wan: Audition for a new drama. Guess who I'm playing?
The moment the new Weibo was posted, there were countless likes and reposts. In the vast army of likes, a certain third master Ye's verified account just flashed by. No one noticed it …
After posting on Weibo, Su Wan handed her phone to Wu Tong. Although she was already the female lead, she still had to go through the audition process. When Su Wan came out of the dressing room and arrived at the director's audition venue, the venue was in a hubbub.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Tong immediately called over a stage manager and asked in a low voice.
The stage manager nodded at Su Wan and then said softly to Wu Tong, "Just now, during the audition for the male lead, the director team chose the newcomer, Meng Hao. However, the investor specifically asked Tan Yuchi to be the male lead. Director Liang doesn't agree. Both sides are still arguing."
Wu Tong shrugged helplessly when he heard the stage manager's words. Under normal circumstances, the producers and investors had more say in a production team. Of course, if you were the most famous director in China, everyone would give you face. Unfortunately, Liang Peng clearly did not have the qualifications to challenge Neptune's people.
"Su Wan! Su Wan, you came at the right time! "
At this time, Haihuang's representative noticed Su Wan wearing the costume in the crowd and immediately called her. "Sister Wan, you're the female lead of this drama. Tell me, who's more suitable to be the male lead?"
Su Wan was speechless.
Wasn't this giving people a difficult problem?
Su Wan smiled and walked in front of everyone, looking at Meng Hao and Tan Yuchi who were also wearing suits.
To be honest, the male lead in the original work, Yu Cheng, was an ordinary looking but meticulous and meticulous secret agent. In terms of appearance and acting skills, Meng Hao was more suitable.
Su Wan had seen Meng Hao's acting skills before. He was a young man with a bright future.
As for Tan Yuchi …
Su Wan really didn't know what to say about this handsome man who would gain a lot of fans as long as he stood there.
"Both handsome men are really capable. Naturally, I'll listen to the company's arrangements."
Su Wan naturally couldn't side with them after taking so much money from Haihuang.
Haihuang's representative smiled and turned to look at Liang Peng. "Director Liang, look, Su Wan also thinks that Tan Yuchi is suitable. Of course, Meng Hao is good too. Isn't there a second male lead? Director Liang, since you like him, you can let him be the second male lead! "
Su Wan's gaze flickered and she immediately said loudly, "That's right, Director Liang. The second male lead, Li Huan, is the soul of this drama. Plus, he's the most handsome and explosive in the script. Meng Hao is a good choice to act as Li Huan. "
"What are you looking at?"
Tan Yuchi had been waiting impatiently. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Su Wan's words. "Let him be Li Huan and I'm Yu Cheng? Do you think the audience is blind? So annoying. Okay, okay. Let him be Yu Cheng and I'll reluctantly act as Li Huan. "
Everyone was speechless.
It feels like we've been arguing for nothing? Sister Wan was really good at judging people. Her words hit the nail on the head. Liang Peng's gaze also brightened. "Right! Tan Yuchi, you're Li Huan! You're the Li Huan I've been looking for! "
The aloof male lead, Li Huan. This was practically tailor-made for Tan Yuchi whose acting skills were worrisome and his looks were off the charts. As long as he had scenes, he didn't need to do anything. He just needed to act cool with a poker face.
The two main leads and the second male lead, who had the most important scenes, were decided just like this. After the audition, Su Wan directly went back to remove her makeup. When she passed by the clothing area, she just happened to bump into Meng Hao coming out. "Sister Wan, thank you for today."
Meng Hao thanked Su Wan, his tone really humble.
"I didn't help you much. Just act well. You'll become famous because of this drama!"
"Thanks for your auspicious words!"
Meng Hao chatted with Su Wan a bit more before leaving with his assistant. By the time Su Wan returned to her makeup room, she noticed that there was another person in her room. That person was Xinyu's A-list actor, Lin Mu!
"I'm filming nearby so I came to visit. I didn't disturb you, right?"
Of course, Su Wan knew that Lin Mu was filming nearby. Plus, she also knew that a movie that Lin Mu was starring in was going to be released this week. He wasn't here to visit her. He was using her to create hype.
Su Wan and Lin Mu were originally from the same company. The two were arranged to be a couple and they starred in many dramas but in reality, the two weren't familiar with each other.
Especially when Su Wan and Lu Jun were forced to break up by the media, Lin Mu even posted on Weibo to hint to his fans that they weren't familiar with each other at all.
They weren't familiar with each other?
