Xiao Yunhai's words caused everyone to be dumbstruck with shock.
Heavens, this was too exaggerated.
In this era where the highest viewership rating of a TV series was a legend, Xiao Yunhai actually dared to say that the average viewership rating was 20%.
This was simply going to drive him crazy.
But why did they feel their blood boiling?
If 'Langya's List' could really achieve this, then wouldn't they leave a deep mark in the history of Hua Xia's TV series?
Xu Hongjun looked at the heroic Xiao Yunhai and sighed, "It's only been a little more than a year, and the original 'A Little Red of Central Plains' has already grown to this point. It's really hard to believe. "
Wang Zhongmou nodded and said, "Yes. If someone else dared to say something like this, I would definitely spit on their face. But when it came from the director of 'Empresses in the Palace', a sense of ambition rose in my heart. If he can really do it, then I, Wang Zhongmou, won't have wasted my life as an actor. Even if I retire in two years, I'll still have a lot of face. "
Just as everyone was talking about it, Zhou Yun brought three top fashion designers with different outfits to the scene.
Xiao Yunhai quickly went up to them and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming to my crew. I'll have to trouble you for the rest."
One of them said, "Director Xiao, let's skip the pleasantries. Are all the actors in your crew here? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right, they're all here."
After careful consideration by Xiao Yunhai, all the actors were gathered.
Zhang Guoyang should be able to play Prince Jing with his acting skills.
He originally wanted Chen Shao to play the role of Prince Yu, but unfortunately, he didn't have the time. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Chen Jie, the male lead of 'Wulin' in Hengdian. Thus, he asked his senior brother Luo Tianxiong for Chen Jie's number.
Chen Jie had filmed many martial arts shows and was thinking of changing his style. When he heard that Xiao Yunhai wanted him to play Prince Yu, he immediately agreed.
The Crown Prince was played by Hu Wanzong, who had won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Supporting Actor. Xiao Yunhai had spent a lot of effort to invite him over.
Langya Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Lin Chen, was played by the confident and elegant Chu Liuxiang and Qin Yunyi.
Zhang Xinyi had just finished shooting a movie. Originally, she wanted to take a break. But when she heard Xiao Yunhai's call, she naturally couldn't refuse. She played the role of Qin Banruo, King Yu's counselor.
Xie Yu, Marquis Yan, and Xia Jiang were played by the three veteran actors Li Chongxu, Xu Hongjun, and Wang Zhongmou respectively.
Xiao Yunhai's friends, Lin Lu acted as Gong Yu, Huang Bo acted as Young Prince Mu Qing, and Wang Cheng acted as Yan Yujin.
There were also suitable actors for the other roles.
It could be said that the lineup of the Langya List was ridiculously strong. They were either A-listers or quasi-A-listers. Just the cost of the actors alone cost Xiao Yunhai more than 200 million. This did not include himself and Zhao Wanqing.
The costume designer said, "Since everyone is here, let's start now."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Okay. Sister Yun, did you bring the clothes, headgear, accessories, and so on? Are all the makeup artists here? "
Zhou Yun said, "They were shipped over this morning. According to your request, I brought more than ten makeup artists. I guarantee that they won't delay things. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's great. Everyone, the clothes you are wearing are temporarily brought over according to your height and body shape. We will take a picture of everyone's style and then input it into the computer. The three costume designers will use the computer to make the best combination of clothes for you. I guarantee that everyone will be handsome. "
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.
Wang Tianming sighed and said, "I haven't acted for so many years. I didn't expect the entertainment industry to have improved to this extent. Just the actors' clothes are so particular. "
Zhao Chongxu smiled and said, "Old Wang, do you think all the crew is like this? What a joke. To be able to hire three top costume designers to tailor clothes for us, only Director Xiao can do it. "
Wang Zhongmou nodded and said, "That's right. I heard Wang Guoan say that Director Xiao spent money like water when filming 'Empresses in the Palace'. In order to shoot the best scenes, he didn't care how much money he spent. In order to increase efficiency, he even gave the staff double or triple the salary standard. Haha, Old Wang, you are famous for being strict when filming, but compared to Director Xiao, I'm afraid you pale in comparison. "
Wang Tianming took a deep breath and said, "This is the attitude of a film actor. No wonder Director Xiao was willing to hire me as an art director. It turns out that he's even worse than me. "
"What? Director Xiao hired you as an art director? Haha, if the two of you meet, won't the staff be tortured to death? "Zhao Chongxu said.
Because the clothes and makeup of ancient women were too complicated, Xiao Yunhai directly assigned a makeup artist to each of them. The remaining six makeup artists were dedicated to the men's makeup, which was much simpler.
Soon, Li Chongxu, Xu Hongjun, Wang Zhongmou, Wang Tianming, and the other veteran actors' makeup was done. They put on their masks and ancient clothes, and the six of them came in front of Zhou Yun and the others.
The three stylists were responsible for one person each. They had them turn around at different angles, and the cameraman took pictures and sent them to the computer.
Zhou Yun had someone measure their height, shoulder width, waist circumference, and so on, as the standard for the clothes in the future.
After a round of tossing and turning, Wang Tianming and the others finally came down.
They came in front of Xiao Yunhai, signed the contract, and received the script. Wang Tianming couldn't help but sigh, "Director Xiao, this old man really admires you."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I'm the investor, director, and actor of 'Lang Ya's List'. If I don't take it seriously and shoot a bad film that the audience doesn't like, I'm afraid that not only will I lose money, but I'll also be scolded to death by the audience. Wouldn't that be a huge loss for me? "
"Hahaha." Wang Tianming, Xu Hongjun, and the others laughed.
"Shut up and be quiet." One of the stylists didn't give any face to Xiao Yunhai and the others as he sternly reprimanded.
The other two also glared at them.
Xiao Yunhai immediately apologized, "Teachers, I'm really sorry. We'll be quiet."
Zhao Chongxu said softly, "So arrogant. You don't know how to respect your elders."
Xiao Yunhai said, "The three of them are the best stylists in the industry, so how can their temper not be bad? Teachers, you can all go back first. I'll inform you when the filming starts. Oh right, the script in your hands is only the first draft, and there are still some problems with the details. So, I've already invited a few scriptwriters to add and edit some parts that aren't suitable. However, the main plot has already been decided. Teachers, you're all experienced, so you can take a look at it when you go back. If you find any problems, please contact me immediately so that I can edit it as soon as possible. "
The script for "Langya List" was written by Xiao Yunhai according to the dramas in his previous life. There were many unreasonable parts in it.
For example, the crown prince was obviously too retarded and his methods were too childish. Another example was King Yu. Every time something happened, he would always discuss it with Qin Bo Ruo. As a prince who could compete with the crown prince, how could he not have other trusted advisors?
There were many flaws like this in the script. In order to make up for these problems, Xiao Yunhai didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money and invited many scriptwriters who were proficient in historical dramas to edit it, hoping to get a more reasonable script.
Wang Tianming and the others nodded and said, "No problem."
After the veteran actors left, the other actors finished their fitting one after another, and the effect was very good.
Among these actors, Xiao Yunhai was most worried about Han Shuwen, who was playing Meng Zhi.
Although he was also a veteran actor, he had never played the main character. Meng Zhi was such an important role, so Xiao Yunhai naturally couldn't be completely at ease with him.
Therefore, after Han Shuwen finished his fitting, Xiao Yunhai took the contract and the script and called him outside to chat.
Han Liwen was very grateful to Xiao Yunhai. He bowed to him and said, "Director Xiao, thank you for giving me such a role."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Mr. Han, the person you should thank the most is not me, but Director Hong Tianchou. If he didn't recommend you to me, I wouldn't have known about your existence. "
Han Liwen said, "You and Director Hong are both my talent scouts."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Han, don't be happy too early. I've watched almost all the roles you played before. To be honest, your acting is really good. But I'm actually not sure if you can get the role of Meng Zhi. "
"You have to know that in 'Lang Ya List', you have a lot of scenes, and your opponents are basically the best actors and actresses. I'm worried that you will be outshined by them. Therefore, although your role is very important, the contract I gave you is only an extra contract. Only if you perform well on the set and I'm satisfied, then I'll sign a formal contract with you. "
"Mr. Han, please don't blame me for being so blunt. This movie is really too important to me, so I won't allow any mistakes. But I can tell you that if you can pass the test and really get the role of Meng Zhi, I guarantee that you will quickly become an A-list celebrity because of him. Mr. Han, after saying so much, are you still willing to sign this contract? "
Han Shuwen didn't even think about it and said, "Of course I'm willing to sign it. This is the best opportunity I've had in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years. No matter what, I won't let it go. Director Xiao, if I can't play the role of Meng Zhi on the set, you don't need to say anything, I'll leave on my own. But I believe that day won't come. "
After saying that, Han Shuwen signed his name on the contract.
Xiao Yunhai put away the contract and handed him the script. He smiled and said, "Mr. Han, whether you can walk on a broad road in the future depends on your performance. Do your best. "
Han Shuwen nodded solemnly.
When he was about to enter the door, Xiao Yunhai suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "You also wore Haoyu's clothes when you came, right? Hehe, you have a good eye. I look forward to working with you. "
Han Shuwen was stunned for a moment. He shook his head slightly and said softly, "The newspaper was right. Director Xiao is really humorous."
Han Shuwen took a deep breath. He took the contract and the script and went back to the dressing room to change his clothes.
Zhang Xue had quietly slipped to the first floor when the actors came over.
When she saw Han Shuwen coming down with the things, she hurriedly greeted him and said happily, "Uncle Han, is it done?"
Han Shuwen thought for a moment and said, "It should be half done."
Zhang Xue was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? If you use it, then use it. If you don't use it, then don't use it. How can there be half done? "
Han Shuwen said, "Director Xiao is worried about my acting skills. He signed a contract with me as an extra. If I want to really get the role, I need to prove it to him with my abilities. "
When Zhang Xue heard that, she immediately deflated and said, "Doesn't that mean that you're still not used yet?"
Han Shuwen said, "At the very least, I have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I believe that I can definitely use my abilities to move Director Xiao. Hehe, he also said that if I can really play this role, he will guarantee that I will become an A-list celebrity. "
When Zhang Xue heard that, she said excitedly, "Uncle Han, you must act well. Yun Huang's words are like those of the ancient emperors. His words are like gold and jade. Whatever he promises, he can basically fulfill it. "
Han Shuwen nodded and said, "I know. Xiao Xue, find me an acting training class teacher. I want to use these few days to recharge. "
Zhang Xue snapped her fingers and said, "No problem. I'll find you the best teacher and give you special tutoring. I believe the company will definitely reimburse you. "
Just like that, the two of them left while talking and laughing.
After all the actors, including Xiao Yunhai, were done trying out the clothes, Xiao Yunhai said to Zhou Yun, "Sister Zhou, how long will it take to make the clothes?"
Zhou Yun said, "With Haoyu Clothing's strong production ability, as long as the design is out, it will take less than a week to complete it. Hehe, they are a professional clothing company. Even if they order twice as much, it will only take a few days.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Sister Yun, the clothes of the lead and supporting actors must be of good quality. As for the extras, they can be of lower quality."
Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry. Why are you so long-winded now? You weren't like this when you were filming 'Empresses in the Palace'. "
Xiao Yunhai touched his nose and said, "Is that so? Hehe, are you saying that I'm old? "
Zhou Yun snorted and said coldly, "Are you deliberately provoking me by saying that you're old in front of me? Wan Qing, discipline him well in the future. Tell him to never mention his age in front of women, especially women who are older than him. "
Zhao Wanqing held Zhou Yun's arm and said with a smile, "He's the kind of person who looks for trouble when he has nothing to do. Don't bother with him."
Zhou Yun chuckled and said, "Looking for trouble when he has nothing to do. Hmm, that's an appropriate description."
"Mr. Xiao, since the work is done, we'll go back to the company. I estimate that we will be able to design everyone's clothes tomorrow afternoon. When the time comes, we will send it to your email for you to review, "said a designer.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, teachers. Why don't I treat you to dinner tonight?"
"No need. We need to work overnight on the design. Thank you for your kindness. Goodbye. "
"Goodbye."
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with them and then gave Wang Cheng a look.
Wang Cheng understood and said, "Teachers, the car is downstairs. I'll show you the way."
Before getting in the car, Wang Cheng took out the prepared red envelopes and gave them to the three of them. He said, "This is Director Xiao's idea. Thank you for your help."
"Director Xiao is too polite."
"It's my pleasure. Brother Bing, be careful on the road. "
Li Bing nodded, started the car and slowly left the hotel.
