Director Li immediately retorted: "No one can play the role better than her! Didn't you see just now? She was born for Zhou Xianxian! No one is more suitable for this role than her, and only her looks are worthy of the world. With the title of No. 1 Beauty, is there any actress who is prettier than her?"
"That's not what I'm saying. If your good looks are not enough, you can make up for it with acting skills." The producer still didn't want to give up, because he already had a candidate he was optimistic about, so he had to fight for it no matter what.
"Fart! Zhou Xianxian is a great beauty. Otherwise, how could Yan Jingwang still miss her even if he got a heroine later? If he finds an actress whose appearance is not convincing at all, the audience will not be able to fall in love with her. What’s more, it’s not like Tao Shichu has no acting skills. If she’s just a vase, I’d have nothing to say if I don’t want her. But she’s obviously a very good actress, but you want me to give up on her? I think you’re farting!” Director Li was irritable! He said that he was already a successful director and had a great say in the crew, so he dared to speak to the producer like this.
"Oh, Director Li, I just want to give you a suggestion, don't be so grumpy!" the producer laughed, "Tao Shichu is very good, but her reputation doesn't seem to be very good. There are too many scandals. I Aren’t you worried that it will affect passers-by’s perception of our TV series?”
"Hmph, you don't have to find some inexplicable excuses to shirk it. Xiao Jiujiu, don't think I don't know about it. If it's other unimportant things, forget it, but it's not about choosing the starring role! If I can't even choose the roles in my own crew, If there is no way to be sure, why should I be a director? If the investors still have objections, you should tell me earlier, I can step aside and you can find another director." Director Li said very directly.
The producer immediately stopped talking, so Tao Shichu was informed on the spot that the role of Zhou Xianxian was hers.
There was no suspense in the first place, so Tao Shichu said goodbye to Director Li and the others calmly and left the audition room.
"How was the audition? Are you sure about the role?" Wenwen asked eagerly as soon as he saw her coming out.
Tao Shichu returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup and said to Wenwen: "Of course I succeeded as soon as I took action."
"Is it true?" Wenwen asked in surprise, "The director decided you on the spot? No need for a second audition? There won't be any other accidents, right?"
"No, Director Li told me directly and asked me to sign the contract tomorrow." Tao Shichu didn't think there would be any surprises.
Wenwen's eyes were bright and he said, "Then we have to tell Brother Jin quickly and ask him to hurry up and sign the contract tomorrow. If anything happens, it will be bad. If you don't sign the contract for one day, you won't be able to rest assured for one day."
"Even if you sign a contract, it may change." Motoki suddenly poured cold water on her.
Wenwen calmed down as expected, nodded and said: "You are right, after all, even if you go to the crew to film a lot of scenes, some of them will be replaced directly. "The King of Mountains and Rivers" is such a hot cake, how many people are watching it? , we can’t be too careless.”
After Jin Da's agent found out that Tao Shichu had actually won the role of Queen Mother Zhou Xianxian in "The King of Mountains and Rivers", he was very happy. He immediately monitored the public opinion comments about Tao Shichu on the Internet, for fear that he would be betrayed again at this critical juncture. The opponent ruins the reputation and loses the role.
Tao Shichu and Jin Da's manager went to sign a contract with Director Li the next day, officially confirming that the role belonged to Tao Shichu, and then announced it on Weibo.
When Tao Shichu got this role, the public naturally had both praise and criticism. Those who praised her said that she had made great progress and could even be on Director Li's TV show; those who disparaged her said that she relied on unspoken rules or that she was a flower vase. If his acting skills cannot support the role of Zhou Xianxian, it will ruin the show.
Tao Shichu just glanced at it a few times and asked the agent to keep an eye on it, so as not to spread too much negative information that would affect the perception of passers-by.
"At the beginning, there was still more than a month left for the cast of "Awarding the Mountains and Rivers". Now there is an idol audition variety show that wants you to be a guest for the first episode. Will you go?" Jin Da's agent asked Tao Shichu, " This talent show is very popular, so it would be great if you go."
"No, I don't want to participate in variety shows in the future. I just want to be an actor. Please help me refuse." Tao Shichu said, "Appearing in too many variety shows, although it can increase your popularity, has no effect on improving your acting skills. On the contrary, because the audience is too familiar with me, it will affect the perception of the character I play, and it will easily make people lose their temper."
"That's a problem." Jin Da's agent thought, "I've heard that this is a possibility. You know that Zheng Qisheng who used to act in dramas, right? Because he appeared in too many variety shows, and at the same time he also Because of his humorous personality, he often makes people laugh, so when he acts in a serious drama, everyone will laugh involuntarily when they see his face, even if he is acting in a serious drama, not a comedy. He cannot let the audience into the drama. As an actor, the problem It’s very serious, so I heard that his company won’t let him take on variety shows recently.”
"Forget it, your main job is an actor, so don't forget your roots and chase the last." Manager Jin immediately reflected, "I also have to be more vigilant and not let you go the way of Zheng Qisheng."
Tao Shichu recalled Zheng Qisheng, and he didn't know whether it was unlucky for him. He appeared on so many variety shows, and his national popularity increased very quickly, and he became almost a household name. It's just that unfortunately, his own personality was ignored by everyone. He was too familiar, so when he played a certain character in the play, the audience still couldn't distinguish his personal character from the character's character. As soon as they saw him, they thought of his personal character, so everyone only thought about him when they saw him. Smile, this smile makes it impossible to empathize with the character he plays, so doesn't his character be ruined?
After Jin Da's manager realized the disadvantages of frequent variety shows for an actor, he never asked her for any other variety show invitations. Of course, the more important thing was that Tao Shichu didn't like it.
Although Tao Shichu is an artist in the company on the surface, she actually owns part of the company's shares, so she is also one of the bosses. Naturally, no one can force her to do something she doesn't like.
Don't get me wrong, she didn't get the company's shares through improper means, but she invested her own money in an honest way.
The original owner lived for such a long time, and even though she did not become a billionaire, she still accumulated a lot of money. Therefore, after the entertainment industry exploded in this century, she seized the opportunity to invest in an entertainment company, and she became famous with her beauty. Once she becomes a star, she no longer needs to be controlled by others in her career. This is why she can live such a prosperous life in the entertainment industry. Even if others criticize her, she will not fail.
