director of the millennium

Wu Yuan did have something to do when he returned to the company.

The Light and Shadow Era has been quite busy during this time.

Zhang Guorong's "Along with the Gods", "Painted Skin 2" in preparation, "Let's Get Married" currently being filmed by the TV drama department, and "Ghost" in preparation, the company is working on four projects at the same time.

Although Wu Yuan does not need to participate personally, he still needs to listen to reports.

Like "Along with the Gods", Zhang Guorong is already conducting internal auditions.

All the artists signed by the company, as long as they had schedules, rushed back to audition, hoping to win a role in this movie.

Young Jia Nailiang, Pan Yueming, Zhu Yawen, Zhu Yilong, Peng Guanying...

The slightly older Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Yu Yi...

Most of the company's actors walked around in front of Zhang Guorong.

After one round of interviews, Zhang Guorong also had an idea and communicated with Wu Yuan.

He felt that Yu Yi was quite suitable to play the role of the underworld villain in "Along with the Gods", that is, Fan Wujiu, while the other ghost boss Xie Bian could be played by Duan Yihong.

The reason for choosing Yu Yi is very simple. He played a good role as the soul ferryman in "Soul Ferry" and left a deep impression on the audience. It is safe to find him for such a similar role.

As for Duan Yihong, he is the taller one among the short ones.

The young actors in the company will definitely not be able to take on this role, and among the older actors, Duan Yihong has the best acting skills.

The only drawback is that he is a little short and not handsome enough.

Wu Yuan was very touched by Zhang Guorong's ideas and actions of insisting on using artists from his own company.

He actually couldn't think of any mainland actor suitable for "Along with the Gods".

Good brother Chen Kun is quite suitable, but Chen Kun has no schedule. He wants to film "Mulan" with Zhao Junqi.

The friendship between the two as classmates is quite good.

Another alternative, Huang Xiaoming, is also unavailable. These two years were the peak years of Huang Xiaoming's popularity. Mingjiao swept the country and its influence was comparable to that of the Three Little Brothers later.

This year alone, Huang Xiaoming has three movies to shoot, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", "The Wind" and "Ip Man 2", all of which are top-quality resources.

As a result, the two non-company actors Wu Yuan was optimistic about were no longer available, so for him, he had no choice but to find anyone to star in "Along with the Gods".

Duan Yihong is also good, and he also has that "uncle" feeling. He is quite suitable to play a ghost from the underworld who has lived for 2000 years.

In this way, "Along with the Gods" in the era of light and shadow will no longer follow the Korean version of "idol style", but will follow the strong style line, with the main story line that touches people's hearts as its selling point.

Therefore, the real male protagonist, the firefighter who died for some reason and came to hell to be judged, had to be played by someone who could support the role's rich background.

"I plan to find Huang Bo to play."

"Huang Bo can master this role well from his image and temperament to his acting skills." Zhang Guorong said confidently.

The heroes have similar views, and Wu Yuan also feels that the characters played by Huang Bo and the original male protagonist Cha Tae-hyun are very similar and suitable.

"As for the youngest female ghost in Messenger of the Underworld, who will play the role?"

Zhang Guorong thought for a while, "The company's Yang Rong and Wang Ou are both suitable. They can play girl-next-door type roles, and they also have round faces and cute looks."

"Yang Rong." Wu Yuan said decisively. Compared with Wang Ou, Yang Rong is more suitable for this kind of straightforward, innocent and cute character positioning.

As an actor, Wang Ou, Wu Yuan plans to train her in a sexy style. Of the many actresses under the company, none of them has a sexy style, which means she has lost a lot of market. "Most of the remaining small roles were played by company artists."

"Let Zhu Yawen play the role of the squad leader who died unjustly."

"The incompetent soldier who was given special care, Private Liu Chengyan, who accidentally killed his commander, let Zhu Yilong, a newcomer, give it a try."

"King Yama of several levels of hell, just find a few veteran actors to make guest appearances."

Zhang Guorong rambled on about his arrangements to Wu Yuan, and Wu Yuan generally had no objections.

At this point, "Along with the Gods" is on the right track. After completing the scenery work before the year, it will be ready to start filming in February or March.

Coincidentally, "Painted Skin 2" is expected to be launched in February or March.

This is a big test for the company's special effects department. The company's special effects team has to work on the two movies at the same time, and will also do special effects for the two movies at the same time.

Fortunately, after several years of development, Light and Shadow Era Special Effects Company is no longer a small company. At present, the company has trained more than 100 special effects artists, and has gradually added a lot of cutting-edge special effects equipment. I can handle it.

On the other side, just when Wu Yuan and Zhang Guorong finalized the starring roles in "Along with the Gods".

Yang Mi, who was newly signed to the company, also learned that she had failed to be chosen as the female lead in "Along with the Gods".

"Hey, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." Sitting listlessly in the nanny car, Yang Mi chatted with her agent Zeng Jia while waiting for the afternoon filming of "Sword and Sword III":

"Sister Jia, when I signed into the company, I made an agreement that if I was not chosen for "Along with the Gods", I would have to play the second female lead in "Goblin"."

"Hey, I was still the heroine in "Sword and Sword III". Now that we have entered the age of light and shadow, I am getting more and more mixed up."

"Come on, don't act like a good boy when you get an advantage." Zeng Jia rolled her eyes at Yang Mi angrily: "That's a TV series that Liu Yifei deigned to act in."

"Play her role. Believe it or not, when the news is released, there are many people vying to play her."

"Not to mention that the male lead is still Director Wu. They are a real couple. They will join forces to star in a TV series. Once the news is announced, I can't even imagine how explosive the ratings of this TV series will be."

"Even if you play the second female lead, the effect will be better than playing the female lead in several movies."

"I know, I know." Yang Mi sighed, with a look of helplessness on her face: "You're the fairy sister."

"When we were filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I played a supporting role for her. Don't I know her yet?"

"At that time, Director Wu came to visit the class, but on the day he came to visit the class, I didn't have a part in the scene. When I got the news, Director Wu had already left and I couldn't see him."

"I didn't think it was anything at the time. Thinking about it now, maybe Director Wu had already gotten along with Liu Yifei at that time."

"It's no wonder Liu Yifei's acting career has always been so smooth."

"By the way, have you confirmed the actor who will play opposite me?"

"Didn't you say that I also have a love line?"

Zeng Jia crossed her arms across her chest and said thoughtfully: "Not yet, but I heard that we are planning to find a Korean actor to play the role."

"The company wants to use this TV series to enter the Korean market."

"Korean actor?" Yang Mi frowned: "Doesn't that mean that you can't understand what you're doing during the scene, and you're talking like a chicken?"

"Hey, it's so difficult!" (End of chapter)
