My singer girlfriend is super fierce.

Li Guojing suggested that he had a director candidate to recommend, which made Ye Zhiqiu's eyes light up.

Yes! Why didn't I think of it before!

An old actor like Li Guojing, who has been acting for more than 30 years, must know a lot of directors. If he can't find one, he can mobilize them to find one.

The key is that for a drama like "In the Name of People", not only the actors, but also the director are extremely important.

First of all, the director should not be too young, and must have sufficient qualifications and social experience, and a deep understanding of human nature, so that it is possible to perfectly present the feeling of "there is something behind the words" and "hearing thunder in silence" when the characters of the crew communicate.

Ye Zhiqiu himself is willing to take on the dual role, but he knows that there is still a gap with his current directing level, but being an assistant director is no problem.

Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu is very interested in Li Guojing's recommendation.

"Who?"

Li Guojing did not immediately say the other party's name, but asked: "Do you know the drama "The Great Ming Dynasty"?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while and said: "The historical drama broadcast in 2010? I have heard of it. It is called an absolute classic and is sought after by many viewers. They repeatedly ponder the lines of the characters in the drama."

Ye Zhiqiu's heart moved and said: "Teacher Li, could it be that the director of the original "The Great Ming Dynasty" you recommended to me is Kuang Pingzhou?"

"Yes." Li Guojing said: "The director of "The Great Ming Dynasty" is named Kuang Pingzhou. I think with his ability and experience, he should be able to direct the drama "In the Name of the People."

Ye Zhiqiu was overjoyed and said: "Then this person is an absolute god-level senior, please help introduce him?"

"Of course it's no problem to introduce him. He and I are classmates in the same university, but..." Speaking of this, Li Guojing hesitated for a moment and said: "There is a situation that I need to make clear to you in advance."

"He hasn't filmed for three years."

"Why?" Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and asked curiously.

Logically speaking, with the hot TV drama market in recent years, as a top director, he should not have no works.

"Because he had a falling out with his former employer and was kicked out." Li Guojing said with a wry smile, and told the story of his old classmate.

The story is not complicated. After graduating from the directing department of Shangjing Film and Television Academy, Kuang Pingzhou joined Shangjing Satellite TV and started as a script supervisor. Soon, with his excellent talent, he became a TV drama director in the station.

He directed and filmed many big-budget hit dramas such as "The Ming Dynasty", which had excellent reputation and response. Later, Shangjing Satellite TV changed its leadership due to factional struggles, and the strategy and development direction of the station also changed.

Because of ideological conflicts and other reasons, Kuang Pingzhou and the station had a quarrel and were eventually kicked out.

Because of this incident, Shangjing Satellite TV also used its connections to affect Kuang Pingzhou's reputation in the circle.

And everyone knows that this guy is famous for "striving for perfection" and "slow work and fine work" on the set, which is incompatible with the current pace of filming, so naturally fewer people ask him to come out.

After Li Guojing explained, he said sincerely: "This is his current situation."

"To be honest, I also have selfish motives in recommending him. I just want to help my old classmate and I believe that he has no problem with his ability, but he has indeed not directed a work for three years, and his temper is also famous for being stubborn, so..."

"I understand." Ye Zhiqiu smiled, "Thank you, Teacher Li, I will consider it. Please give me the contact information of Director Kuang, and I will find a time to make an appointment with him to talk."

Ye Zhiqiu didn't care much about this. Talented people are more or less "paranoid" in character. This is normal, which shows that they have a pursuit of work and are unwilling to perfunctory.

Li Guojing reported the contact number, and the two chatted briefly for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

Li Guojing thought about it and was about to dial another number when the phone notification sounded.

When he opened WeChat, he saw that Ye Zhiqiu had sent him the script of In the Name of People. Li Guojing was delighted and could not wait to open the file.

He was so fascinated by it that he forgot everything until he was interrupted more than two hours later.

"Hey, Lao Li." Li Guojing's wife walked out of the bedroom and shouted.

"What are you so fascinated by? It's already past eleven o'clock."

Li Guojing came back to his senses, glanced at the time and said without paying attention, "The script for a new role."

"Have you decided which one to take? Didn't you say that you didn't like those roles very much?" His wife asked curiously.

"In my opinion, if you don't like it, don't act. There's no need to fight with yourself. Teaching is also good."

"No." Li Guojing said firmly, "I want to act! ThisI must act in this drama, no matter how much I am paid."

"This is Ye Zhiqiu's new drama, it is so well written..."

The wife only then realized that Li Guojing's eyes were surprisingly bright and his face was extremely excited. This was the expression of meeting a character he liked very much.

She was curious and was about to say something, but Li Guojing had already picked up the phone and murmured: "I have to call Lao Kuang and tell him about this."

The wife was stunned and quickly advised: "You are crazy, it's already this late, maybe he has gone to bed early."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Li Guojing thought for a while and said: "No, I have to tell him before Zhiqiu finds him."

"Otherwise, if he misses this drama, he will regret it for the rest of his life."

After that, Li Guojing dialed a number and fortunately it was quickly connected.

"Hello? Lao Li? "A full-throated and doubtful voice came from the other end of the phone.

The two have been friends for a long time, Li Guojing said directly: "Pingzhou, Ye Zhiqiu hasn't contacted you yet, right?"

"Ye Zhiqiu?" Kuang Pingzhou was stunned and said puzzledly: "No, isn't that the screenwriter of your "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", why did he contact me."

Li Guojing briefly explained what happened just now, and said earnestly: "I can't disclose the details of the specific script now, I can only say that this is definitely a good work."

"I estimate that Zhiqiu will contact you in the next two days. Then you should control your stubborn temper and don't scare others away. See if you can win this director and we can work together again. "

Li Guojing was so nervous for Kuang Pingzhou, not only because of their strong friendship, but also because after reading the script, he felt that his old classmate was the best candidate for the director of this play.

At this time, he was already considering the issue from the perspective of a member of the crew.

On the other hand, after learning about the situation, Kuang Pingzhou also became serious and said, "Thank you, Lao Li."

"I'll treat you to dinner later."

At this time, in a residential area in Shangjing, Kuang Pingzhou, who was thin, wore glasses and had a rather elegant temperament, hung up the phone, pondered for a while, and got up and walked to the study.

Turn on the computer and search for the words "Ye Zhiqiu's works"...
