After watching all the chapters of the second big plot, Xue Zihan glowed for a while, then suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said softly: "It's indeed suitable for making online dramas, there are some tricks and some tricks!"

...

The next morning, when I saw Wang Zheng again in the recording and broadcasting hall of "The Birth of Drama Evil", Xue Zihan smiled first, glanced around, and saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered to Wang Zheng: "I finished reading A Quan's new book last night, it's very good!"

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, "Very good, since that's the case, then when we leave here, we will adapt and shoot his book first?"

Xue Zihan: "Well, I think we can start preparing some of the preliminary preparations, such as finding suitable actors, especially major roles such as male and female protagonists. What do you think?"

Wang Zheng: "Well, I agree with this. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

Xue Zihan thought for a while, "Tonight, let's have a video conference with A Quan to discuss it! Let's see which actor he thinks is suitable for the male lead and which actor is suitable for the female lead. Maybe when he creates these main characters, he is shaped according to the image of a certain actor! What do you think?"

Wang Zheng nodded, "Yes, it's possible! Then let's talk about this during the video conference tonight?"

This is indeed not a place to discuss such things. Xue Zihan gave him a smile and nodded slightly.

So, this matter was decided so happily.

...

night.

The video conference proposed by Xue Zihan will be held as scheduled.

Sun Quan, Xue Zihan, Wang Zheng, Tao Yujuan, and the four of them are at home and at one end of the computer.

Xue Zihan: "Brother Zheng and I like the book "The Last Wish of the Dead", especially the writing method of the unit drama of this book. Each story seems to be one and has little to do with the previous and subsequent texts. However, because several main characters run through the whole process, they are connected together. I think this way of writing is very suitable for adapting into the online drama we wanted to do before. Brother Zheng also means this, A Quan, Sister Tao, what about your opinions?"

Tao Yujuan smiled, "I agree completely! I have no objection."

Sun Quan also smiled and nodded, "If I said that the reason I decided to write such a book was to adapt it into a web drama, would you think I was pretending to be competing? Haha."

"hehe!"

"Ha ha……"

Tao Yujuan and Wang Zheng were both amused.

Xue Zihan smiled and glanced at Sun Quan, "Everyone is good friends. If you pretend occasionally, we can still tolerate it."

Sun Quan wanted to laugh a little. The standard statement shouldn’t be: If you don’t pretend to be a comparison, are we still good friends?

By the way, this is quite popular on the Internet recently.

"My opinion has been communicated with Brother Zheng before, and I fully agree here, so what is the focus of your proposal to hold this meeting today? Hum?"

After laughing, Sun Quan was straight to the point and asked the main point directly.

Everyone is familiar with each other and will work together in the near future to build a film and television company, so he has no intention of going around with them, saying whatever he has, and trying not to waste each other's time.

Wang Zheng: "That's right. Zihan and I mainly want to discuss the casting of the actors in this drama with everyone. The schedule of the actors needs to be communicated and determined in advance. Zihan and I both think that the casting of the main characters can now begin in this drama."

Xue Zihan nodded, "Yes! For example, the male protagonist Chen Yang... A Quan, when you write this role, did you shape it according to which actor? Use an actor as the template for this role?"

actor?

Wang Zheng and Xue Zihan were a bit beyond Sun Quan's expectations for this project.

But he likes it.

A positive attitude at least shows that they are passionate about this drama, and enthusiasm... have always been a prerequisite for doing one thing well and a project.

How much enthusiasm you have for a thing or a project often determines how much energy you can invest in this matter and the project.

But... when he was shaping the character Chen Yang, he didn't refer to the image of any star in his mind. For more than ten years, he had already gotten rid of the stage of shaping a character and needed to find a real-life template in his mind.

However, since Xue Zihan asked this question, Sun Quan frowned and thought about it, recalling in his heart the compatibility between some well-known young actors in the entertainment industry and the role of Chen Yang.

When he was seriously considering this issue, Tao Yujuan laughed and spoke first, "I think Zheng Yijian is good. He has a good image and no problem with acting skills. He may be a little older, but this problem should not be big. I think he can use makeup technology to make him look younger. What do you think?"

Zheng Yijian?

Sun Quan looked at Tao Yujuan in the video in surprise.

Is she serious?

Wang Zheng was the first to laugh, "You really dare to think about it! What we are going to do this time is an online drama. Do you think that with Zheng Yijian's reputation, will we consider our project?

What's more, he is such a big name, even if he is really willing to take on our drama, what about the pay? How much is the pay for him? Have you considered this issue?"

Xue Zihan also laughed, "Sister Tao, can you stop staring at those big-name stars? We are not making movies, so investment is limited, don't scare me!"

Tao Yujuan chuckled and blinked, "I'm just a joke! The main reason is that when I was young, he was the favorite star. To be honest, if we take into account the factors of age and pay, I really think Zheng Yijian is a very good choice!

He has a good image and a stable acting. He also has explosive power at critical moments. He is also good at action scenes. He is really a good candidate."

Xue Zihan raised his hand speechlessly and held his forehead, "Sister Tao, okay, be realistic? Stop dreaming!"

Wang Zhengze asked Sun Quan, "Aquan, do you think there is anyone more suitable?"

Sun Quan shook his head slightly, faced the puzzled eyes of the three of them, and said, "I think it is best not to choose the main characters of this drama that the audience is familiar with, and even more so, the stars cannot be chosen. It is best to choose a group of new faces with suitable image and acting skills but no fame."

Xue Zihan frowned: "To save money?"

Wang Zheng: "This... isn't it easy to find? It's not too difficult to find a new face like this, but if you find such an actor in the whole drama, the workload will be too great. If it's purely for saving money, I don't think it's necessary to save to this level. If our investment is really not enough, I can go out here to see if I can find partners who are interested in investing together..."

Before Wang Zheng finished speaking, Sun Quan shook his head and smiled: "It's not entirely a matter of investment. To be honest, even if it takes 10 or 20 million yuan or more to invest in this drama, I don't have much financial pressure now, mainly because... Well, what do you think?

Don’t you think that familiar faces that the audience is familiar with in this kind of ghost-related subject matter appear at any time. Is it very outrageous?

For strange faces, although it is not easy to hype gimmicks when promoting, the audience should feel better when watching this drama. What do you think?"

"Sense of substitution?" Xue Zihan was slightly surprised.

Wang Zheng's expression moved slightly, as if he was thinking.

Tao Yujuan blinked and nodded, "It seems that this is true, just like the pseudo-documentary "Ghost Records". It became popular because everything is strived for reality. Is that what it means?"

Sun Quan nodded, "I know that when we first entered the online drama industry, we lacked a lot of relevant experience and connections. It is not easy to find a large number of talented strange-faced actors, but... I think if we can calm down and search for it with our hearts, such as selecting newcomers who have not yet debuted, and some acting skills in the film and television industry are acceptable, but due to resources or personal image, unknown young actors should still be able to solve this problem.

After all, don’t forget that we are going to shoot online dramas, and their positioning is a little lower than traditional TV dramas. The audience’s requirements and expectations for our dramas should also be lower. Under this premise, as long as the actors we choose are not bad, the filming is attentive enough, and the plot is attractive enough, the final product will be satisfied by the audience.”

After he finished speaking, the three of them in the video were not in a hurry to express their opinions.

Whether it was Xue Zihan, Wang Zheng, or Tao Yujuan, they all thought about it.

Then Tao Yujuan was the first to break the silence, "It seems to make sense, and Brother Zheng, I'll say, don't be angry!"

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "What? You said!"

Tao Yujuan: "I think if we really look for actors according to the idea that A Quan said, when the drama officially starts filming, your director will have a lot stronger control over the crew. After all... Haha, you have always been the assistant director of variety shows. In the film and television industry, you have never proved yourself. If you change to a group of famous actors or stars, you... I'm worried that you, the director, may not be able to suppress those people!"

Silence, wry smile.

This is Wang Zheng’s reaction.

Because Tao Yujuan's words felt a little bit like a sharp attack, and this injection was directly stabbed in his heart.

It made it difficult for him to refute.

Sun Quan praised Tao Yujuan in his heart, looked at it with a smile, waiting, and was not in a hurry to say anything else.

A few seconds later, Xue Zihan smiled, "I agree with this plan! Although it may take a lot of time to cast actors according to this plan, but I don't think it's a big deal. Adapting "The Undead" is the first online drama we have made after the establishment of our company. I don't know what you think. Anyway, I hope to become a hit, but it is inevitable that I can become a hit and work hard to do it slowly.

Rather than being slow during the shooting, I think it's totally worth it to spend more time on casting.

This can not only save us a lot of money, but also use the saved money for filming, post-production, and even publicity of the show. Although it will take a lot of time during casting, the money will not be much spent. Brother Zheng, what do you think?"

What else can it be done?

In a video conference, three of the four people who attended the meeting agreed to this plan. What is the point if Wang Zheng alone opposes it?

What's more, he was actually convinced.

Nodding, "Okay! Then do it like this! In this way, I suggest casting, I will leave it to Yujuan for the time being. You can select a few candidates for each main role. Is it okay to select a few candidates first, and then select the best ones from the best to determine the last candidate? "

Wang Zheng's proposal surprised Tao Yujuan and pointed at herself, "I? Leave it all to me? No, how can I have so much time? I have worked every day recently, and the workload of casting this time is so large, I..."

Wang Zheng interrupted her with a smile, "It's okay, you quit first! Yujuan, now the four of us may only be able to leave us to do this..."

"How to say it? Why?"

Tao Yujuan was puzzled.

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Haha, think about it! A Quan must concentrate on writing this book. He is the author of the original work. The current plot of this book has just begun. There are many things to write. Moreover, his lover has recently raised his baby in the Magic City. The companies under his name also need him to take care of. Zihan... She is the director of our current program. I am the deputy director. The jobs of the three of us cannot be taken away for the time being. In comparison, hehe, it may be your current job..."

Speaking of this, he didn't say anything later, but his implication was already very clear.

I just want to say that only Tao Yujuan’s current job can quit at any time, which is not irreplaceable.

These words hurt Tao Yujuan's self-esteem.

Tao Yujuan's expression is indeed a bit complicated. She opens her mouth and wants to speak, but wants to argue without saying anything.

Her smile turned into a bitter smile.

Sun Quan smiled but still didn't say anything. Now it depends on how Tao Yujuan decided. After listening to Wang Zheng's reasons, Sun Quan also felt that Tao Yujuan was the most suitable one for casting.

Xue Zihan: "Sister Tao, Brother Zheng's words may be a bit straightforward. Don't mind! If you don't want to, it's okay. At worst, when all the work we have done, let's do the casting work together. It's really, it's okay."

It would be fine if she didn't say that, but when she said that, the bitter smile on Tao Yujuan's face became even stronger.

I feel like I have been forced into a corner and there is no room for dodging.

They had already said this, so how could she have the nerve to refuse?

He sighed helplessly and nodded slightly, "Okay! Since that's the case, then I'll write a resignation letter later and hand it over to the Taiwan leaders tomorrow. We will try to resign as soon as possible and do this as soon as possible! Is this OK?"

Wang Zheng made a clasping move, "Yujuan, thank you for your hard work!"

Xue Zihan smiled, "Sister Tao, come on! I love you!"

Tao Yujuan smiled bitterly and gave them a blank look.

Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "Sister Tao, the casting work will be handed over to you for the time being. Don't worry about the salary. Starting from the day you officially resigned from your station, I will pay your salary later, and you will not be allowed to work in vain."
Chapter completed!
