Chapter 447 Is this showing off?
Du Sheng's heart moved, and he immediately guessed which drama it was, and asked directly:
"Is it "The Mute Bride"?"
Liu Tao nodded in praise:
"Correct answer!"
Sure enough, it is "The Mute Bride". No wonder her agent is so active.
In recent years, TV series adapted from Qiong Yao's original works have become very popular.
The show has already attracted much attention even before filming started.
And director Luo Canran is not an ordinary person.
Although he may not be as famous later on, many people only know that he recently directed "Love Actually".
But in fact, he has directed two popular dramas with high ratings in the past few years.
One is "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" starring Ning Cheng and Ma Jingtao, and the other is "The Secret History of the Crown Prince" starring Ma Jingtao and Hu Cheng.
These two works can be said to be a series, but he did not name them.
Speaking of "The Mute Bride", to be honest, its ratings are indeed good and it ranks among the top ten of next year's top ten popular dramas.
The reputation is also good, and if she can play the female lead, she will be promoted to a star.
Du Sheng thought for a while and said:
“It’s okay to audition, but I think your chances of being selected are less than 50%.
"It was previously reported that director Luo Canran already has an ideal heroine candidate in mind and has a good relationship with him."
The smile on Liu Tao's face diminished:
"Who is it?"
It's not that she was eager to get the role,
But as a new A-list star, I felt a little unhappy when I heard that I might just be running along.
"The third generation actress of Qiong Yao, Yue Ling."
Du Sheng shook a few fingers and said:
"If nothing else, there are several conditions you can't compare with.
"First of all, she's from Bay City, where The Mute Bride is set.
She can be said to have a home field advantage and she also understands Hokkien. Can you do that?
"Secondly, she has worked with Luo Canran before. The ratings of "True Love" were not bad, and Yue Ling's performance was not bad, so Luo Canran will naturally be biased when casting."
"Third, most of the members of this crew are from Bay City,
Your opportunity to audition this time is probably recommended by Guangfu TV Station,
But it is only one of the investors, and it is difficult to change Qiongyao's decision. ”
"Fourth, you and Yue Ling are both artists from Qiongyao's company, but she is naturally more popular in Bay City."
In his previous life, Luo Canran chose Yue Ling based on the above reasons.
But to be honest, the role of Lin Jingyun became a low point in Yue Ling's acting career.
A reporter once conducted an audience satisfaction survey.
Although the male lead's satisfaction is not particularly high, it still reaches about 73%, while Yue Ling's satisfaction is less than 56%.
In other words, Yue Ling did not receive much criticism, not because she acted well.
Maybe it's just because Lin Jingyun's character is mute and is not as eye-catching as the Zhou family.
In addition, her performance was average, so the focus was never on her.
She was in her youth when she debuted, and she also played the daughter of a wealthy family, and her performance was quite remarkable.
But it's really not suitable now.
Yue Ling's performance in the play was criticized for having only two expressions.
One is to giggle when happy, and the other is to pout when unhappy.
Most viewers thought that her performance of Lin Jingyun was unable to fully demonstrate the complexity and depth of that era and seemed a bit superficial.
Although the character was adjusted to suit her, her performance as Lin Jingyun still seemed mediocre.
Just like a typical rich girl, too ordinary and unlikable.
Liu Tao asked hesitantly:
"Then shall I still audition?"
Du Sheng did not answer directly, but helped her analyze the pros and cons:
"The current situation is that this drama has its own popularity, and the ratings will definitely not be bad.
But behind the advantages there are also disadvantages. They are all adapted from Chinese dramas adapted from Qiong Yao. "Deep Love" is so successful, and coupled with its influence, it is almost impossible for your drama to surpass it.
"As long as you accept this role, you will inevitably be compared by the audience after the broadcast, so you have to be mentally prepared."
If Liu Tao had been asked before her skin had turned white and her popularity had not risen, Du Sheng might have suggested that she refuse.
Lin Xinru's drama Zhu Yu preceded her, and her performance was imprinted in the minds of the public, making it difficult for newcomers to surpass her.
But then I thought about it, this is not the first time Liu Tao has appeared in an adapted drama, so it seems that there is no need to care too much about this.
After all, "Dragon" and "Dragon" are also remakes of classics.
Although her performance may not be surpassed, she still has a chance to win the title of "The Most Beautiful Miss China".
After all, even at her peak, Lin Xinru's charm could not reach nine points.
And Liu Tao is not inferior now.
In addition, family emotional dramas are within her comfort zone, and she is fully capable of them with her current acting skills.
So if Liu Tao plays the role, he will definitely be much better than Yue Ling. It depends on whether the director can convince Qiong Yao.
"Then should I accept it or not?"
Du Sheng spread his hands and said:
"The question now is not whether you will take it, but whether you will be selected.
It's better to just go to the audition and forget it if you're not selected.
If you are really selected, it won’t be too late to worry about it. ”
Liu Tao hesitated and said:
"Okay then."
Du Sheng was not sure who Qiong Yao preferred, so he had better not intervene.
If she is really selected, it can only be said to be fate. It would not be too late to join Star Media in two years.
"The night is long, don't think about it now."
Du Sheng smiled and picked her up:
"Let's do something we love to do."
"Ah! Not coming tonight!"
Liu Tao exclaimed.
She didn't get up until noon today, and even her feet were weak. "You won't come if you don't want to come?"
Half an hour later, Du Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Tao slumped into a ball.
Last night, this girl joined forces with Fan Bingbing and Jia Chengwen to make him fight fiercely for a long time before giving up.
Before that, Zhou Huimin and Zhang Baizhi, who came to promote the album, had sex with him for many times, and their physical energy was finally exhausted.
Last night the three heroes fought against Lu Bu and almost missed.
Now you are singled out for a little bitch, and you still can’t deal with it?
………
Time flies and it’s April before we know it.
After Du Sheng finished filming that day's scene, he said hello to producer Zeng Lizhen and mentioned the matter of the Academy Awards.
"Don't worry, I've already said hello to you before."
Zeng Lizhen knew what it meant and smiled.
As for the other party's request for leave for the next two days, that's not a big deal.
After all, the filming schedule has not been slowed down, and it is estimated that it will be completed three or two days ahead of schedule.
As soon as she left the set and got into the car, Ye Chengzhi called to tell her a piece of news:
"Regarding Coca-Cola's publicity, there have been new developments recently.
They're planning an Asia special for a new product, and you're included in the plan! ”
Coca Cola!
Du Sheng originally thought this was just an ordinary signing ceremony, but he didn't expect there were more arrangements behind it and asked:
"I just signed the contract, is this already arranged?"
"Actually to counteract Pepsi's star-studded ad."
Ye Chengzhi smiled softly and said:
“You must have heard of Pepsi’s strong marketing.”
"I've heard some, and it seems Coca-Cola is feeling the pressure."
Du Sheng smiled.
Pepsi-Cola's all-star advertisement is star-studded with a luxurious lineup, including well-known figures such as Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, Chen Wanxi, and F4.
These artists are extremely famous and influential today, covering many fields in the Chinese music and film and television circles.
Faced with such a large-scale offensive, Coca-Cola will naturally not remain indifferent.
Therefore, this time we also plan to invite A-list celebrities from across the Taiwan Strait and four regions to jointly create a special Asian advertisement.
"Do you know who is involved?"
"At present, Coca-Cola is still in the confidentiality stage, there are just some rumors."
Ye Chengzhi smiled gracefully and continued:
"But it is said that Lin Zhiling received an invitation from Bay City..."
After hanging up the phone.
Du Sheng thought for a while and decided to call Lin Zhiling.
Lin Zhiling didn't answer immediately, maybe she was busy with something.
After a while, she called back, with a hint of laziness and surprise in her voice:
"A Sheng, are you coming to Bay City!?"
Her voice, as always, had a baby voice that sounded like a father, especially mixed with a hint of surprise, which made people feel like spring breeze.
Du Sheng thought that they would meet in two days, so he held back and said:
"No, I just wanted to ask something."
"What's going on?"
Lin Zhiling was a little disappointed. She thought she could have another all-night PK.
Recently, for some reason, her mind was filled with Du Sheng's figure.
Is it because the other party is so powerful that it is unforgettable?
"The matter of endorsement."
Du Sheng smiled and said:
"I heard that you also received an invitation from Coca-Cola to shoot an advertisement together. Are you afraid that we won't have the chance to reunite?"
"Coca-Cola?"
Lin Zhiling didn't know what she thought of, and said a little angrily:
"I have declined. Although I initially considered accepting, I later learned that they did not intend to make me a spokesperson, but only wanted me to participate in the Asia Special, so I was not very interested in this."
If she wasn't the spokesperson, she wouldn't be the one paying the bills and being the main promoter.
"Is that so?"
Du Sheng felt a little regretful:
"I thought we could deepen our relationship this time. After all, we have been partners so many times, but we have never been able to work together in front of the screen."
Although Lin Zhiling has no representative works, she is indeed a first-line star at present.
Coca-Cola took a fancy to her popularity in Bay City, so they invited her to participate.
"I have no choice but to wait until next time."
Lin Zhiling also said a few words of annoyance, suddenly remembered something, and said:
"What's going on between you and Fan Bingbing?
Recently, the news has spread to Bay City, and even people in the circle are talking about it..."
"It's nothing, someone is just adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes."
Du Sheng guessed that it was the aftermath of the last scandal, so he was too lazy to care about it and changed the topic:
"Your voice sounds a little lazy. Did you just wake up?"
"Working out."
Lin Zhiling said quietly:
"Recently, for some unknown reason, my bust has become a lot fatter than before. It's too swollen and stressful."
Du Sheng: "..."
Is this showing off?
Definitely.
Can you lose weight by exercising in this situation?
Thinking that he was probably the culprit, he remained silent.
After all, girls such as Zhang Baizhi, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, etc., who were not very impressive before, are now beginning to have this serious trouble.
