Yan Wang's favorite cute rabbit master [Entertainment circle]

Yang Zhuo: "..."

He had just realized that he had answered the wrong number, and before he could say a word, he was scolded by Zhu Hengyuan.

Although he wasn't scolding him, anyone who behaved well would not be very happy if he was scolded for no reason.

"Sorry, I'm Yang Zhuo," Yang Zhuo waited for him to finish cursing, and then said calmly, "I will pass on your words to Shi Shi with a smile."

"..." Zhu Hengyuan was stunned, "Yang...Director Yang?"

"Well. It's me. Is there anything else you want to scold?"

"No, no, no... I'm sorry!" Zhu Hengyuan panicked completely, "I didn't know it was you. Even if I lent me a hundred courage, I wouldn't dare to scold you."

"I know," Yang Zhuo said slowly, "but there is one thing you may have made a mistake. The bastard who took you away and drove you to death was not Shi Xiao, but me."

"It's because I don't want to use you anymore."

Zhu Hengyuan: "..."

"At first I didn't want to say it directly, but I wanted to save some face for you, but now it seems that face is of no use to you," Yang Zhuo said, "Then I will be blunt."

"Your acting skills are not bad, but your character is poor and you have no professionalism. An actor is a person first, and an actor second. You can't even learn how to be a human being, and your achievements in this life will be like this. If you If you don’t reflect on yourself and don’t change, you may be popular for a while, but you won’t be popular forever.”

"Oh, sorry, I forgot. Seems like you're confused by now."

Zhu Hengyuan: "..."

He didn't expect that the highly respected director Yang Zhuo would say such a thing, he was dissatisfied and wronged, tears rolled in his eyes, he wondered what ecstasy drug the surnamed Shi had given Director Yang, Let Director Yang protect him like this... Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth in hatred for Shi Xiao.

"Also, when you said that Shi Xiao would never be able to act as a male lead in this life, are you serious? Now is no longer the time for the tall and perfect male lead..."

When Yang Zhuo said this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

That's right, now is no longer the era when the tall, handsome and perfect male protagonist Su Baotian was in charge.

It will take quite a long time to incubate from a novel to a TV series. Although this big IP called "Little Youth" has been popular all over the country, it is after all a work made more than ten years ago. The current audience preferences are actually the same as those back then The public's aesthetics has opened up a big distance.

This is already an era where the little husband, the little man, the little milk dog, and the little wolf dog are in power.

This point can be seen from the changes of the most popular male characters in "Little Youth" in the past ten years.When the novel was serialized on the Internet, the male protagonist Jiang Qiao was undoubtedly the most popular character among readers, but a few years later when the novel was published in a physical book, it became a big hit again, and Bai Ye Jiangqiao was evenly divided. After crossing Jiangqiao, he became the NO.1 character in the novel most loved by readers.

This shows that most of the new readers attracted by "Little Youth" prefer Bai Ye, who is the third male, rather than Jiang Qiao, who is the first male.

So...why can't Bai Ye be the hero?

Although "Little Youth" is a big IP with huge fans of the original works, with its own audience and traffic, it is a double-edged sword. First, the characters in the plot are completely framed, leaving little room for Yang Zhuo to freely play. The old aesthetic means that its ability to attract new audiences born after 00 or even after 10 will be greatly reduced.

The young people born after 00 are the real audience of this campus youth idol drama.

It is true that changing the characters, plots and storylines of the original work without authorization will definitely attract criticism from fans of the original work, but for investors, only when someone criticizes them can they gain topicality and attention, which is equivalent to doing a wave of free publicity for no money .

As long as the show is good, and people are cursing and cursing, the public opinion will naturally turn around slowly.

Director Yang has come all the way through ups and downs in the entertainment circle these years, won the supreme honor, and encountered all kinds of slanders. He doesn't care if he is scolded or not. For Yang Zhuo, completing a project with high quality The work is the most important.

Only a work that can stimulate creative desire and passion can become a good work.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhuo excitedly patted the table, ignored Zhu Hengyuan, and said to the producer and several teachers, "Sorry, I have an idea..."

After hearing Yang Zhuo finish his unique and unconstrained ideas, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, thoughtful.

They've all seen Shi Xiao's performance just now, and with his acting skills, it's no problem to be the male lead.

The problem is that it is unprecedented for a big IP to temporarily change the male protagonist. Are investors willing to take this risk?Besides, the filming of the film is halfway through, and if we find someone to change the script temporarily, will it delay the progress too much?

Also, the audition has already gone to this point, if the male lead is temporarily changed, isn't their previous work in vain?

"There should be no problem with the investors," Yang Zhuo smiled, "You don't need to change the script too much, just change the focus of the main line a little bit, and have a reverse ending. Many shots that have already been shot can still be used, no It will delay too much progress." Yang Zhuo stood up and apologized to everyone with his hands clasped together: "As for the three newcomers selected in the audition, please coordinate with the teachers. Further discussion. If there is no chance to cooperate in this drama, and there are suitable roles in the future, I will definitely give them a chance. Teachers, if you have other suitable candidates, you can also recommend them to me, and I will seriously consider them.”

Although the investor has changed, the teachers and staff in charge of the audition are still under Luanyu Entertainment. After the audition, these three little fresh meats will also sign to Luanyu Entertainment as artists. Yang Zhuo's promise can be regarded as giving An account of their hard work of more than half a month.

Everyone else knows Director Yang's status in the industry, and his uncompromising temper. It is not bad to win the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Producer Zhou Bin was originally a gold medal partner with Yang Zhuo, and he has always respected Director Yang's opinion. , naturally won't sing against him.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After the plan was finalized, everyone briefly discussed the direction of operation, and after agreeing on the time for the next detailed discussion, Yang Zhuo, Producer Zhou and the assistant director sent the other teachers away, and immediately split up to contact the screenwriter to revise the script and deal with it. Coordination with investors, site scheduling and other issues.

As expected, the investor didn't have any objections. He not only nodded happily, but also expressed his willingness to invest tens of millions more.

Although the two parties have different starting points, they rarely reach the same goal by different routes, so they hit it off and quickly entered into the intensive preparation and publicity work.

Three days later, @电视剧小青春 made an official announcement, announcing that from now on, the male lead of the "Little Youth" TV series will be changed to Bai Ye, played by @时笑, and the newly promoted little fresh meat @郑玄 played by the audition. Jiang Qiao retreated to the male second.

As soon as the official announcement came out, there was an instant uproar on Weibo.
