Chapter 153 I wonder which character Mr. Wen wants to buy?

Jiang Lan's flight was delayed.

When we arrived at our destination, we were a full forty minutes later than the time notified by the crew.

In the huge conference room, the screenwriter, director, various staff members, and other actors who had passed the audition gathered together.

Jiang Lan looked at Wen Zhiyan, who was sitting next to the director and seemed more in charge than Liu Chengxi, and was speechless for a moment.

The person who was more speechless than Jiang Lan was none other than Ji Wanxing.

She rolled her eyes silently in her mind, stretched out her hand to push Jiang Lan, and then whispered: "You work first, I will take things to the room."

Jiang Lan was silent for a few seconds before reluctantly managing his expression. , spoke and behaved appropriately, and greeted Liu Chengxi appropriately with a smile.

Jiang Lan didn't know the other staff members, and among the remaining supporting roles, there were no seniors whom Jiang Lan was familiar with or who had high status.

Jiang Lan just kept smiling in an approachable manner and nodded to say hello.

Everyone responded to Jiang Lan and said politely: "Hello, Teacher Jiang. I have admired you for a long time, Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Lan's eyes wandered around everyone present before finally landing on Wen Zhiyan. Wei Wen stretched out a hand to Wen Zhiyan as if nothing had happened:

"Mr. Wen, I really didn't expect to meet you here. This is..."

He paused and asked, "Come on. Inspecting the crew and preparing to invest?"

Before Jiang Lan came to the conference room, everyone just introduced themselves to each other and greeted each other politely. Wen Zhiyan sat here without saying a word from the beginning.

Everyone has relevant questions they want to ask, but they don’t dare to ask them easily.

Even Liu Chengxi, although he knew Wen Zhiyan's clearest intention, did not dare to directly talk about soliciting investment.

Only Jiang Lan asked this question without hesitation.

But many insiders know that Jiang Lan and Wen Zhiyan have a brotherly relationship. Jiang Lan is much more polite when he talks like this now than before in variety shows.

Wen Zhiyan stood up, reached out and held Jiang Lan's hand, raised the corner of his mouth and gave a positive answer.

He said: "I am very interested in Director Xi's script, and I plan to spend money to buy myself a character to play with."

This was so straightforward.

In the industry, bringing money into a group is undoubtedly the easiest thing to attract criticism, but if you bring your own money, this matter is a different matter.

In the past, there were many wealthy young men who invested in themselves and bought characters to play for fun.

But there are not many people like Wen Zhiyan who openly say in public that he wants to buy himself a character to play with.

Jiang Lan couldn't help but cast her eyes on Liu Chengxi and said in a joking tone: "Director Xi, please order more, lest he mess up the newcomer's acting and ruin your reputation."

Liu Chengxi snorted and said: "I dare not say that. This is Mr. Wen. Even if his acting skills are mediocre, his face can save him, right?"

But he was complaining in his heart.

He is well-known in the industry for his high demands and standards for actors, and he has always had trouble rubbing his eyes.

But unfortunately, it was Wen Zhiyan who came to stir up trouble.

A giant Buddha that he could not afford to offend even if he died.

He could only comfort himself in his heart. It was the first film of his transformation anyway. Everyone knew Wen Zhiyan's background and could understand his helplessness.

No matter how Wen Zhiyan plays, Liu Chengxi is just a part-time worker and has no say.

Jiang Lan could see the helplessness in Liu Chengxi's eyes, the awe-inspiring righteousness and generous sacrifice in Liu Chengxi's eyes.

He asked Liu Chengxi: "I wonder which role Mr. Wen wants to buy?"

When Liu Chengxi heard this, he thought that Jiang Lan was vaguely worried that Wen Zhiyan would steal his male lead role.

He snarled, reached out and patted Jiang Lan's arm, trying to reassure him: "Don't worry, Teacher Jiang, Mr. Wen is interested in a villain."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, Jiang Lan was originally The smile that was still hanging on the corner of his mouth immediately froze on his face.

Afterwards, Jiang Lan looked at Wen Zhiyan with an unkind look on his face: "Does Mr. Wen plan to act in his true self?"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Wen Zhiyan's reply, he said to Liu Chengxi: "Don't worry now, Director Xi. , Mr. Wen is the best at villains with human faces and animal hearts, and he will never let you down."

When Wen Zhiyan heard Jiang Lan's sinister tone, he knew that Jiang Lan was dissatisfied with the role he chose. .

But he didn't say anything at the moment. He just stood aside, lowered his head, and silently looked at the toes of his shoes.

When everyone met for the first time, Liu Chengxi just explained some things that needed to be paid attention to when joining the cast. Except for Jiang Lan and Wen Zhiyan, the other characters were selected through auditions without any controversy.

Therefore, after explaining these things, Liu Chengxi dismissed the others and only said to Jiang Lan and Wen:

"You two stay here for a while."

Soon, there were only two editors left in the originally full conference room. A makeup artist, Liu Chengxi, an assistant director, Jiang Lan and Wen Zhiyan.

Liu Chengxi poured a cup of tea for Wen Zhiyan and Jiang Lan with his own hands. He first said to Jiang Lan:

"Jiang Lan, this is our first time working together. If I offend you in the future, I hope you will forgive me."

Jiang Lan served the tea: "Hi, the introduction is serious. I am inexperienced and it is an honor for me to cooperate with you. Please don't take human feelings into account. If you need to be scolded, you can be scolded. I will definitely cooperate with you."

Liu Chengxi was very satisfied with Jiang Lan's attitude and nodded. He looked at Wen Zhiyan again, pursed his lips, and didn't know how to speak.

Wen Zhiyan leaned back in his chair: "Just think of me as an ordinary new actor. I'm not here to embarrass myself on the big screen."

Despite what he said, Liu Chengxi still planned to be polite first and then fight: "Then But we have agreed that if I get stuck in your camera, you can't give up in a fit of anger. "

Businessmen, credibility comes first." Liu Chengxi

then reluctantly relaxed and looked at Jiang Lan: "Speak. Tell me about your understanding of Li Shuang. "

Li Shuang is the protagonist, the role Liu Chengxi assigned to Jiang Lan by default. Logically speaking, many dedicated actors will make sufficient preparations before joining the cast, and character biographies are part of it.

Although Jiang Lan’s previous focus was on the role of Apei, she originally wanted to discuss it with the director before the audition.

But just in case, he also did a lot of homework for the role of Li Shuang.

Jiang Lan calmly told Liu Chengxi his views on Li Shuang.

After listening to this, Liu Chengxi was about to praise Jiang Lan and point out some minor problems, but Wen Zhiyan suddenly interrupted:

"This role is quite interesting, can I play it?"
