The filming for "The Shawshank Redemption" was completed in September. After Guo Ziyi finished filming, he went back to school to attend classes. Of course, he also talked to Ding Xiang about their relationship.
However, Guo Ziyi was not in a hurry to accept new movie contracts. Although his popularity had increased because of "The Limit Challenge" and the video of the Seve dance, many film companies still sent him scripts and invited him to audition.
Guo Ziyi did not attend the audition, not because he was arrogant, but because he was waiting. He was waiting for Du Yuanlei, who was still learning editing from Director Wu Yian, to come back. The role of the mouse in the upcoming drama "Yu Zui" had already been reserved for Guo Ziyi.
Of course, in order to play this role well, Guo Ziyi also used his connections in the police station to help him "hire" a master who knew how to cheat to teach him how to play cards.
Now that Du Yuanlei was back, she could not stay idle. She immediately set up her own crew. Most of the crew was still the same, including her exclusive cameraman Wang Chao, lighting designer Zhu Liyang, makeup artist Long Ni, and so on.
However, because this was no longer a student production, Du Yuanlei also hired some experienced professionals. Some of them were even seconded from the "The Limit Challenge" crew, such as the stage supervisor, sound engineer, prop artist, costume artist, and so on.
It must be mentioned that after the first season of "The Limit Challenge" ended, although most of the crew were transferred to the crew of "China's Voice", there was still a difference between a reality show and an indoor music variety show. Many of them were temporarily idle.
China Star Production's foundation was still a little worse than other production companies and television stations. They did not have many programs, so everyone was too busy to take a break.
It was good to have a break, but if the break lasted for a few months, it was easy to get into trouble.
At the end of September, China Star Production experienced a turbulence. A total of seven cameramen and executive directors were poached by their peers. One of the executive directors and two cameramen went to Xingyao Production. It was said that they had already joined the filming of "The Travel Challenge".
Although China Star Productions did not lack cinematographers and executive directors, they were also constantly recruiting people. As long as the main directors and scriptwriters were not poached, China Star Productions would not be hurt.
However, after the poaching incident, Yang Yi and Yun Yangfeng, as well as a few executives of Zhongxing Productions and a few directors, had a meeting to come up with a strategy to prevent such a situation from happening again!
On one hand, Yang Yi had spent a lot of money to sign non-competition agreements with the key figures in the company. On the other hand, he had also asked Yun Yangfeng to arrange for the employees who were still on vacation to be loaned to familiar TV stations to do outsourced work. The company's commission was very small and was only used for daily operations. The remaining profit that was not taken was also considered some benefits for them.
There was no need to talk about these unpleasant things for the time being. It was better to return to the set of Du Yuanlei's "Remaining Sin".
While Du Yuanlei was preparing for the filming of this TV series, she had also begun a nationwide casting call. Many roles, including the main character, "Remaining Sin", were still available.
Two years ago, when they were filming "Fairy Tale" and "The Fugitive", both Du Yuanlei and Yang Yi were still unknown in the film and television industry. Du Yuanlei had to rack her brains to find suitable actors. Some actors had even rejected the invitation to audition because they looked down on her.
If it were not for the fact that Du Yuanlei was highly valued by some teachers in the film school of River City's Media University and had invited some actors with good acting skills to support her and even taught Jiang Lei, the old man would have rolled up his sleeves and entered the scene personally. The filming of "The Fugitive" might not have gone so smoothly!
Now, the situation was completely different.
Du Yuanlei was considered a director who had entered the 100 million box office club. Many small-time actors who wanted to be famous would not dare to look down on her.
Even if some actors who were already famous and some management companies who had a lot of resources in their hands might still look down on Du Yuanlei, they could not ignore Yang Yi who stood behind this TV series!
"Yu Zui" was written by Yang Yi after all.
Yang Yi could be said to be the most bug-like existence in the entertainment industry in recent years.
As long as someone was related to him, whether they acted in his movies, sang his songs, or appeared on his shows, everyone's popularity would skyrocket.
Of course, the most important thing was that Yang Yi's works were all successful.
"Fairy Tale" was the "ancestor" of micro-movies. Despite the proliferation of micro-movie competitions in recent years and the endless number of good works, it was still the benchmark of micro-movies. Countless film schools and teachers could not avoid this micro-movie that was similar to a music video when it came to micro-movies.
"The Fugitive" had made a name for itself during the off-season and had also earned hundreds of millions in the box office. Its unique and humorous plot had won unanimous praise from the audience.
"Soldier's Assault" was broadcast at the beginning of the year and its results did not need to be detailed. Until October, no TV series had broken its ratings record. Obviously, it was almost guaranteed to be the best TV series of the year.
Even if it had not been broadcast yet, "Drawing Sword", which was the big show to start the new year next year, had become popular even before it was broadcast. Countless fans of "Soldier" were now eagerly waiting for the series.
With so many successful works as a foundation, Yang Yi's new TV series project as the screenwriter naturally received strong attention from the industry from the beginning.
As soon as Du Yuanlei's news was released, she received countless audition requests.
Du Yuanlei and the crew were so busy dealing with these requests that their heads were spinning. They hadn't even officially arranged for the actors to come to the audition yet.
That evening, Du Yuanlei, who had been tired all day, decided to have a cup of coffee to relax. Therefore, she went to a familiar coffee shop on the corner of the street.
Ding Xiang was not at the coffee shop. She had gone to train with Guo Ziyi, leaving Yang Huan alone. Yang Huan did not plan to be alone in the room. She went down to the coffee shop and chatted with Sugar Cube, who was on duty.
Yang Huan was also quite familiar with Du Yuanlei. When she was admitted to the film school, she had also received acting training from Du Yuanlei and some of her seniors.
The two lonely people chatted, and Du Yuanlei even gossiped about the relationship between Guo Ziyi and Ding Xiang.
Guo Ziyi had pursued Du Yuanlei before, but that had been a long time ago. Moreover, in Du Yuanlei's opinion, she was much older than Guo Ziyi. Now that she thought about it, she did not take it to heart. She only thought that Guo Ziyi was "too young" and did not consider the problem maturely.
However, as Du Yuanlei chatted with Yang Huan, she looked at Yang Huan and suddenly had a thought.
Yang Huan was skilled in martial arts!
Du Yuanlei's mind was filled with the various characters and their plot in "Yu Zui" for the past few days. When she saw Yang Huan, Du Yuanlei thought of Lin Yujing, the policewoman of the Narcotics Unit, who had a complicated emotional entanglement with Yu Zui.
Many actresses had submitted their resumes for the role of the female lead, hoping to audition for it. However, Du Yuanlei had seen their resumes, including some of their videos, and realized that most of them were just flowery and impractical. Each and every one of them was delicate and delicate. How could they play the role of this shrewish and skilled policewoman well?
Yang Huan was different. She knew martial arts, which was her advantage. In "The Limit Challenge," Yang Huan was very shrewish, not delicate at all, which was very similar to Lin Yujing.
Moreover, Yang Huan was tall and slender, and her looks were passable.
In the end, Du Yuanlei looked meaningfully at Yang Huan's bulging chest.
Well, the size is not bad. It should be enough if you stuff it with something!
Du Yuanlei suddenly became silent, and Yang Huan also noticed that Du Yuanlei was sizing her up. Yang Huan was creeped out by Du Yuanlei's last look. She pulled her coat and asked curiously, "Sister Du, why are you looking at me like that?"
Du Yuanlei smiled and did not explain her behavior. Instead, she said directly, "Huan Huan, are you interested in auditioning for a role in my crew? Let's see if you are suitable for the role. "
