Chapter 370: The Attack of the
Thinking about what Xu Kun said about the 'sequel to the old play', Jiang Yiyan immediately realized: "Is this the sequel to 'New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio'?"
"Correct."
Xu Kun said: "There are four units in total. The heroine of "Lucky Fourteenth Lady" will be played by Shi Shi. The other three heroines have not been decided yet. But don't count on it. The sequel will definitely not use the actors of the previous film."
“I had no intention of acting.”
Jiang Yiyan curled her lips and said, "No matter what, I can't be worse than Huo Siyan, right?"
Qin Lan also said: "I just won "Assembly" last time, so I won't compete with my sisters this time."
Hearing this, Tang Yan, who was serving tea and water, felt his heart beating wildly.
She has seen "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", in which besides Jiang Yiyan there are Gan Wei, Jiang Xin and Yang Mi. Huo Siyan, who just won the role of Huang Rong in the Tangren version, should not participate in this competition.
In other words, among the Teddy Sisters, the only three who would compete with her for the female lead of a unit are Hao Lei, Li Xiaolu, and Xiong Naijin.
And Hao Lei and Li Xiaolu may not fight...
Isn't this an advantage for me?!
Just when he thought of this, Xu Kun said, "LeTV has also invested some money this time, so we can recommend two female protagonists..."
"Why two?"
Hearing that there was one less than expected, Tang Yan couldn't help but scream out nervously.
Xu Kun glanced at her and said unhappily, "Do you think Tangren is a charity? Originally, they wanted to give us a man and a woman, but then I asked and no one was interested, so I asked to change to two female protagonists - even so, Cai Yinong was still reluctant."
"That's for sure."
Qin Lan smiled and said, "Just from the name, you can tell that the highlight of this sequel is the heroine."
This changes from choosing three out of four to choosing two out of four.
Hao Lei and Li Xiaolu are not comparable to Xiong Naijin and I in terms of acting skills or fame. If they both participate in the show, there will be almost no chance for Xiong Naijin and I.
If only one of them participates, then I will have to compete with Xiong Naijin.
My advantage is that I have a relationship with Brother Kun, and Xiong Naijin's advantage is that she is a close friend of Gan Wei - since it is invested by LeTV, Gan Wei must have a certain say.
That's a match made in heaven...
Of course, the best result is that both Hao Lei and Li Xiaolu look down on the heroine of the unit drama, and then she and Xiong Naijin can advance to the finals side by side.
At this time, Jiang Yiyan said, "When Meimei heard this news, she must have been very upset. She was originally the closest to Shishi, and she was counting on the fact that she was close to the water and the tower to get the moon first. Who knew that Tangren was going to shoot a sequel to New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?"
…………
Yang Mi was indeed very depressed.
It's fine if others were excluded, but she was only the second female lead at the beginning, why was she also excluded? !
Liu Shishi's apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, Meimei, I didn't expect it to be like this, I thought..."
"It's okay."
Yang Mi gritted her teeth and replied, then suddenly became full of fighting spirit and said, "Shi Shi, what do you think about us taking the initiative to contact the author of "To Our Youth That Will Eventually Decay"?"
"Contact the author? What do you want to do?"
"Confirm the subsequent plot with her. Even if she hasn't finished writing it, she should have a general idea of the subsequent plot in her mind, right? As long as we confirm that the general direction is okay, the two of us can jointly recommend this book to Brother Kun!"
"Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"
Liu Shishi hesitated and said, "Brother Kun probably doesn't have time to work on a new script recently, right?"
"It doesn't have to be Brother Kun who takes the photo."
Yang Mi said: "Didn't Director Liu Haibo have been idle since he finished filming Double-Sided Adhesive Tape last year? If our script can impress him, can't we ask Director Liu to film it?
Even if Director Liu is not capable, we can find other directors. As long as we have investment, scripts and actors, isn't it easy to find a director?
I heard that the movie "Apple" that Kun Ge is about to shoot was tailor-made for him by Fan Bingbing and director Li Yu! If she can do it, why can't our Teddy Sisters? ! "
The more Yang Mi spoke, the more ambitious he became, but the more Liu Shishi listened, the more guilty she felt.
"Is it that easy? What if we mess it up..."
"We have Brother Kun behind us, what are we afraid of?!"
Yang Mi was not impressed by Liu Shishi's caution, because she had been in frequent contact with Xu Kun recently, so she felt that she knew Xu Kun much better than Liu Shishi. Xu Kun mobilized the Teddy Sisters to find a script this time, not for himself, but to appease the women around him.
So as long as I can come up with a good script that can accommodate at least six or seven sisters, Brother Kun should have no reason to refuse it.
The more he thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. After Yang Mi hung up the phone, he left a message in the comment section of "So Young", saying that he was from a film and television company and that he wanted to talk to the author first because he felt that the short story had the potential to be adapted into a film or TV series.
Then he left his email address.
As a result, she waited for three days before she received a response from the author Xin Yiwu. Xin Yiwu was full of doubts about her message and even questioned in her reply whether Yang Mi was a fraud.
The two communicated through email for another morning before successfully switching to QQ.
As soon as they added each other as friends, Xin Yiwu asked directly: How do you prove your identity? If you can't prove your identity, I'm sorry, I have work to do here.
Yang Mi thought about it and directly sent a video invitation to Xin Yiwu.
Xin Yiwu hesitated for a full minute before she answered the call. Then she began to question Yang Mi's appearance and age: "Are you really from the film and television company?"
Yang Mi: "Of course, but I'm not a staff member, I'm an actor - have you seen "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"? I played the female ghost Qiu Rong in it."
One minute later.
Yang Mi: "Why don't you speak?"
Three minutes later.
Yang Mi: "What are you doing?"
five minutes later.
Xin Yiwu: "Who are you kidding? This Qiu Rong is clearly an actress with a square chin!"
As he said that, he sent me a screenshot of the TV series.
Yang Mi: “…”
She couldn't say directly that she had used the knife, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "Wait, I'll find another witness for you!"
Then Yang Mi turned off the video call.
Xin Yiwu waited for three minutes, and then someone named "蝶舞翩翩" added her and said that she was a friend of "是狐呀".
After Xin Yiwu clicked to approve the application, the other party immediately sent a video call.
She accepted it doubtfully, and then saw a familiar face appear on the screen.
Xin Yiwu carefully identified her and couldn't help but exclaimed, "You, you are Lin Yuxin?! No, you are Liu Shishi, the youngest sister of the Teddy Sisters!"
Yang Mi, who was on the phone with Liu Shishi, was both jealous and angry when she heard this - I am also a member of the Teddy Sisters, okay? !
However, with Liu Shishi as a witness, things went much more smoothly afterwards.
The three of them formed a small group. Yang Mi was cautious and did not use Xu Kun's name, but said that this was a project jointly initiated by the Teddy Sisters, aiming to find a script suitable for the sisters.
Of course, if the content is really good, it will be handed over to Brother Kun.
In real life, Xin Yiwu works as a secretary in an electric power company. Last year, after the novel she was following was aborted, she came up with the idea of becoming an online writer.
"So Young" is her second short story. Unexpectedly, it was chosen by the famous Teddy Sisters and she even had the opportunity to work with director Xu. She was so excited that she was speechless.
In the end, it took me most of the day to briefly explain the rest of the plot.
The ending of this story is that the second female lead, Ruan Ruan, received a call from her scumbag ex-boyfriend before getting married, and died in a car accident when she went to meet the scumbag; the first female lead married her childhood dream lover, who was also the brother of her remarried family.
Liu Shishi burst into tears in Shanghai because she was most deeply involved with the second female lead, Ruan Ruan, even more than the female lead, Zheng Wei.
When she was reading the book, she sighed for Ruan Ruan's choice more than once, but she also felt that if she were in the same position, she would probably make the same choice.
But I never thought that Ruan Ruan would end up like this...
Yang Mi kept urging Xin Yiwu to take a long vacation and finish the novel as soon as possible.
"If this really gets made into a TV series, you'll be a famous screenwriter in the future. You can even quit your job and become a full-time writer!"
Then she secretly thought that if this novel could really be adapted into a film or TV series, it would be best to start the project as soon as possible. That way, Liu Shishi would definitely not be able to compete with her because she was busy filming "Strange Women of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
And Brother Kun had said before that whoever could find the right script would be chosen as the heroine...
