Sun Quan doesn't know how to be a director.

He didn't plan to actually direct the show himself, leaving professional matters to professionals. Naturally, he understood this truth.

yes!

He has money now. Even if the show fails, he can afford to lose money.

But if he can make this show work, is he willing to screw it up?

After all, "The Last Wish of the Dead" is a work he wrote himself, and it is the first work adapted into a web drama before and after his rebirth. He can afford to lose money, but he does not want to ruin the reputation of this book.

Before his rebirth, he had seen too many novels adapted into TV series, and the online series had a poor reputation.

For example, fighting spirit turns into a horse or something.

Other companies have long wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights for "The Last Wish of the Dead".

He has never sold it, nor has he considered selling it. Why?

Is it because he is afraid that unreliable film and television companies will ruin the book he worked so hard to write?

If you don’t cherish your own works, do you expect others to cherish them?

In his impression, most domestic film and television companies are accustomed to making bad money. These film and television companies do not pay attention to the quality of their works at all.

I just want to buy a famous IP, and then find some fresh meat with low traffic, and just want to attract viewers and make money through hype.

It is also called: capital operation.

He doesn't trust those film and television companies. If he doesn't have the strength, forget it. Since he has money and opportunities now, why not try investing on his own?

At least if he invests his own money, he can do his best to control the quality of the show.

Like today's audition, he is very serious.

If an actor's appearance doesn't satisfy him, he won't consider it.

Anyway, none of the girls who came to audition today are particularly outstanding in terms of acting skills. Since their acting skills are not much different, it is natural to choose the one whose image is more in line with the original character.

After the first female lead, Li Yutong, was chosen, it was the second female lead, Li Yuling's turn.

Sun Quan still adheres to the principle just now, the actor's appearance must make him feel stunning.

It's just a pity that under his principle, all the girls who auditioned for the second female lead today were finished, and Sun Quan didn't choose anyone he was satisfied with.

He was inevitably a little disappointed, but the audition continued today.

It's time to audition for the male lead.

When auditioning for the male lead, Sun Quan's inner judgment standards changed.

In terms of an actor's appearance, he mentally relaxed the standards, but in terms of an actor's acting skills, he raised the standards.

Because when he was writing the book "The Last Wish of the Dead", each character had different responsibilities, and he was very clear about the role of each character in the book.

For example, when writing the lead female lead Li Yutong, when he wrote the character image and plot, what he wanted was that Li Yutong was sweet enough and beautiful enough to attract readers to read further.

After all, in the plot of the first few dozen chapters of this book, the image of the male protagonist Chen Yang is negative and unlovable. If in this case, the image of the heroine is also unflattering and not beautiful enough, she cannot be let go.

Most male readers like her, but many readers will definitely not be able to stand it, and simply won't have the patience to wait for the day when the male protagonist's image changes.

It is precisely for this reason that when he selected the female lead today, the first thing he required was that the actress should be beautiful enough, and appearance should be the first priority.

When choosing the second female lead, Li Yuling, he also puts appearance first for the same reason.

But the male protagonist Chen Yang...

When he wrote the book "The Last Wish of the Dead", he did not intend to let this character attract readers by his appearance.

In fact, on Qidian Boys Channel, no matter how handsome the male protagonist is, it is difficult to attract readers to continue reading, and it may even have the opposite effect.

Because in reality, the appearance of most men is not amazing.

The Qidian Boys Channel is almost entirely populated by male readers. If you write a particularly handsome male protagonist, won’t it affect everyone’s sense of involvement?

This is also the main reason why the male protagonists in most of Qidian’s male channel’s works are mediocre or comely in appearance.

In the book "The Last Wish of the Dead", Sun Quan is very clear about what the male protagonist Chen Yang is responsible for.

After the plot twists and the fact that Li Yutong is dead is revealed, Li Yutong will soon be taken to the underworld by ghost messengers.

After losing this book by Li Yutong, what continues to attract readers to continue reading... is the deep love of the male protagonist Chen Yang and the next big plot.

Therefore, when selecting the actor for the male lead Chen Yang, Sun Quan had higher requirements for the actor's acting skills.

Because he needs the actor who plays this role to be affectionate and decadent.

Otherwise, the character cannot be successfully created.

This is not a role dedicated to being cool.

If it can't convey a sense of affection and decadence, then this drama will fail.

In line with this principle, Sun Quan reviewed the acting skills of the auditioning actors who came in one after another. After reading one after another, he didn't see anything that satisfied him.

Until the seventh male actor who auditioned came in and started performing.

In fact, when the actor walked in, Sun Quan frowned slightly.

Because this actor doesn't look like he has acting skills... he's quite handsome.

In Sun Quan's impression, male actors in domestic dramas are handsome but basically have no acting skills.

Therefore, when the actor introduced himself, Sun Quan did not pay attention to his name until the man started performing.

Seeing this man frowning with thick eyebrows, his eyes suddenly showed a melancholy look. Sun Quan was startled, and then he took a closer look with some interest.

I saw this actor with thick eyebrows and big eyes silently turning to look out the window, his eyelids drooping slightly, his shoulders slowly slumping, and his back hunched against the back of the chair. A feeling of leaving only an empty body gave Sun

Complete.

Sun Quan frowned and looked at it.

Really unexpected.

Because he remembered that this actor was not like this when he walked in just now. He looked very handsome and cool just now.

But in such a short time, his temperament has changed drastically?

"Okay! Okay, let's try another scene! Try the scene where the male protagonist casts spells. Sister Tao, give him a piece of paper!"

Sun Quan nodded slightly, interrupted the man's performance, and signaled Tao Yujuan to give the man a piece of paper.

Two of the male actors who came in before also had a role in casting spells.

So when Tao Yujuan heard what Sun Quan said, she understood the meaning, agreed, and immediately got up and took a palm-sized white paper and sent it to the young actor.

"Thanks!"

The actor seemed to have not come out of the emotional state just now, and his mood was still a bit low. After taking the white paper handed over by Tao Yujuan, he closed his eyes, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then

Call out again.

Then he stood up and looked up, nodded to Sun Quan and others, looked down at the palm-sized white paper in his hand, and pursed his lips again.

Xue Zihan said at this time: "Three, two, one...start!"

As soon as he heard the word "start", the actor's expression suddenly changed. His originally dull expression instantly tightened, his eyelids suddenly raised, and his originally melancholy eyes suddenly became sharp, matching his image of thick eyebrows and big eyes.

, seems to have suddenly changed as a person.

At the same time, I saw him raising his hands, and his right hand quickly drew talismans on the white paper in his left hand, drawing quickly in the air, and shouted angrily: "Urgent like a law, edict!!"

Before he finished speaking, he threw the white paper in his hand towards Sun Quan and the others with his left hand.

If you didn't know he was acting, this scene would really look like a lunatic.

It's no big deal.

Sun Quan noticed that Xue Zihan beside him was startled.

In fact, Sun Quan himself was shocked.

Because the contrast between the changes before and after the young actor in front of me is so great.

Just now he looked like a zombie, and suddenly he became so murderous.

…

The two scenes for today's audition for the male lead were both set by Sun Quan.

In the first part of the performance, the actor does not need to say any lines, but only needs to show a state of melancholy and decadence. The second part of the performance only has one line, and it shows the state of the male protagonist when he casts a spell.

In Sun Quan's heart, he wanted to play the role of Chen Yang well.

These two states of an actor are very important.

Because in the book "The Last Wish of the Dead", every time Chen Yang appears, he is in these two states most of the time. When he is not fighting ghosts, he is melancholy and decadent.

Once you take action, the status will definitely change.

If the first state is not performed well, the character Chen Yang will not stand up and the audience will not be able to believe that Chen Yang is deeply in love with the heroine Li Yutong.

And if the second state is not performed well, then the fighting scenes in this drama will not give people a passionate and exciting feeling.
