Entertaining Children

"A TV drama project?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Sister Ya's news is really well-informed."

"My studio is mainly acting as an actor agent, and will participate in investment in film and television production, but I don't have production capabilities. Naturally, I have to care about the resources and project trends in the industry." Li Ya laughed, "We talk to many casting studios. You have a good relationship with the casting director, and your TV drama project is also selected through the casting studio, of course our studio knows."

"Oh," Xiao Yao nodded and asked, "Sister Ya, how do you want to cooperate?"

"Actually, the casting studio in charge of that project sent an audition invitation to our studio, so I have read the script and know the situation of some projects." Li Ya said, "The casting studio said that they are not responsible for auditioning men and women. The actor of Yi mainly wants to choose other roles. I want to ask first, since it is a project invested by your company and you are also the screenwriter, will you be the male lead? Or Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan?"

"Me!" Xiao Yao said honestly, "I'm playing the male lead! Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan may play supporting roles in it, but it's not confirmed yet!"

"That's really great!" Li Ya smiled, "I read the script, this drama is about sibling love, the female one is eight years older than the male one, and she is a working woman in her thirties, I think I The conditions in all aspects are quite suitable, and I am very interested in that role, how about I play this role for you?"

"You want to play the female lead?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Didn't the casting studio tell you that the female lead actor has already been confirmed?"

"Has it been confirmed?" Li Ya said unexpectedly, "The casting studio just said that they are not in charge of male and female actors, not that the male and female actors have been decided. But it doesn't matter, other actors are still available." I'm not sure, the TV series hasn't started filming yet, so it's not impossible to change the actress? In addition to participating in the show, I also plan to participate in the investment of this TV series project! Of course, since I am the investor, I also have a small additional condition."

"Additional conditions?" Xiao Yao asked, "Bring other actors from your studio, and give one or a few supporting roles to your actors? Who do you want to support?"

Li Ya likes to arrange supporting roles for the studio's actors with a slightly smaller role in the dramas she starred in, and to praise her actors with the fame and popularity of herself and the dramas she participated in. Several actors under the Li Ya studio have indeed become popular in this way. This is well-known in the circle, it is Li Ya's routine operation, it is not difficult to guess at all. Xiao Yao was not in a hurry to tell the truth, but was also curious which actor Li Ya planned to use his drama to promote under his banner.

"Yes!" Sure enough, Li Ya smiled and nodded, "But there are not many, just one! I think the role of Anna in the script is quite suitable for Li Xiaorui in our studio."

Li Xiaorui is not a completely unknown newcomer actor. She entered Li Ya's studio at the same time as Ren Bing, the current top-notch actress in the film and television industry, and was even two years older than Ren Bing. She has also acted in some film and television works, most of which are projects in which Li Ya's studio participated in the investment, and Li Ya or other actors under the studio starred in the projects, but the response to the works she starred in was relatively mediocre. Not as red as Ren Bing.

"In terms of appearance, it seems quite suitable!" Xiao Yao thought for a while and nodded.

Xiao Yao has also watched the film and television works starring Li Xiaorui, so he not only knows this person, but also what she looks like.

Li Xiaorui is about 1.7 meters tall and has a very good figure, especially her long legs. Netizens call her the "goddess with long legs" in the entertainment industry. It's hard to say whether Li Xiaorui has the longest legs in the entertainment industry, but it is absolutely beyond doubt that she is the "longest leg" among actresses under Li Ya Studio. More importantly, Li Xiaorui's looks and temperament are good, and she has the ability of a professional woman. In terms of appearance and temperament alone, she even has the temperament of a modern working woman than Li Ya herself, which also meets the appearance requirements of Anna's role in the script.

"You agreed? That's great!" Li Ya said happily,

"After the award ceremony, let's make an appointment to talk about the specific details of the cooperation?"

"I don't agree," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Sister Ya, I just said that Li Xiaorui's appearance is quite suitable for the role of Anna, but whether it is suitable or not, you have to wait for the audition to decide. If you want to play that role, you can participate in the role audition arranged by the casting studio."

Judging from Li Xiaorui's previous works, Xiao Yao felt that her acting skills looked average. However, the things presented by film and television works are a comprehensive reflection. In addition to the acting skills of the actors themselves, the professional level of the director, screenwriter and even the entire crew is also influential. Li Xiaorui is not a vase who can't act at all, because her appearance is very suitable, Xiao Yao did not rule out the possibility of Li Xiaorui playing a role in the drama.

"Okay!" Li Ya nodded, "I will discuss this matter with Xiao Rui later, and let her audition."

As a child star, Li Ya is an actress known for her dedication in the industry. Although Li Ya has acted in bad movies, she still pursues the quality of her works. Even though she often uses the opportunity of bringing funds into the group to support her actors, she still respects the professionalism and authority of directors and producers. If the directors and producers really feel that the actors are not suitable, she will rarely use investment The identity of the person is hard pressed.

"What about me? Do I need an audition too?" Li Ya asked again.

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he hadn't rejected her yet, so he could only smile and say, "Of course you don't need to audition..."

"Are you so confident in me?" Li Ya smiled.

"You misunderstood!" Xiao Yao said, "You don't need to audition because the actor of the first female lead has already been confirmed. Regardless of whether you are interested in investing in our TV drama project, I will not change the first female actor. Consider switching actors, and of course you don't need to audition."

"Also," Xiao Yao continued, "Our project is already in progress, and the budget is sufficient, so I have no plans to attract further investment."

"You don't give me a role, and you don't want my investment!" Li Ya looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate next time!" Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, then I won't force it!" The smile on Li Ya's face disappeared, but she didn't seem angry, she just put on a curious expression and said, "But I'm curious that you decided to play the female lead Who is the actor!"

"The reason why you don't even give me the chance to audition, besides acting skills, should have a good relationship with you?" Without waiting for Xiao Yao to answer, Li Ya guessed on her own, "The character of Midsummer in the play is a A working woman in her thirties. Sun Tingting and Zhu Zitong are too young to be suitable. Although Sister Jiaying is a little older, but with her ability, it is not impossible to act, but she is your mother, and she will act as a couple with you It is easy for the audience to play, and it should not be possible."

Li Ya counted a few, then suddenly remembered the movie that was released recently, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Could it be He Ying again?"

"Ah? Sister He Ying?" Xiao Yao asked.

"I watched the recently released "Donkey Gets Water"!" Li Ya said to Xiao Yao, "Is it because He Ying played the role of the coppersmith's wife in that movie, deliberately pretending to be ugly and sacrificing a lot, so you just use this A fashionable and beautiful urban drama girl came to make up for her? If this is the case, I understand, and I am convinced!"

Although He Ying is not a child star and has not been in the showbiz for as long as Li Ya, she is similar in age to Li Ya and can be regarded as an actress of the same period. He Ying is also a well-known celebrity actor. Except that she is not as good as Li Ya in terms of traffic and topics, her status and network resources in the circle are not worse than her. Extraordinary family background. If Xiao Yao really rejected Li Ya because of He Ying, Li Ya really has nothing to say.

"Why do women have such big brain holes?" Xiao Yao complained helplessly in his heart.

"Then if the lead actress in my show is not Sister He Ying, you don't understand and are not convinced, what are you going to do?" Xiao Yao asked tentatively.

"What? Not He Ying?" Li Ya said unexpectedly, "Who is that?"

"You said that you have read the script and know something about this project, so do you know that besides my film and television company, there is another investor in this project?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Another investor?" Li Ya thought for a while, "I know, Yin Xi's studio!"

"By the way, you and Yin Xi founded this brand together. They said that this brand belongs to Yin Xi's studio, and they are all employees of Yin Xi's studio." Speaking of Yin Xi's studio, Li Ya pointed to the Those staff said.

"Yes," Xiao Yao said, "I cooperate with Yin Xi on a fashion brand, which belongs to Yin Xi's studio. The other investor in my drama is Yin Xi's studio. Then you know that the lead actress in that drama is Who is it?"

"You said just now that you want to invest, and then let you play the female lead!" Seeing that Li Ya didn't answer, Xiao Yao reminded again.

"You mean... Yin Xi?" Li Ya asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"Isn't she a model? She can act?" Li Ya asked puzzled.

"My sister transformed into an actress several years ago." Xiao Yao said, "She has come from a small supporting role step by step. She has played all the major supporting roles of the third female and the second female, although she has not played the leading female yet, right? But she has performed quite a few roles!"

"Your sister?" Li Ya was stunned again.

"Of course not my sister! But we have a very good relationship!" Xiao Yao said.

"Of course the relationship is good. If the relationship is not good, can we work together as a fashion brand?" Li Ya laughed.

"It's not just about the cooperative brand." Xiao Yao said, "I've known her since I was ten years old. Besides my family members, there are also Zhao Rui and the others that I have played with since I was a child. She is the most important thing to me. People. Although we are not related by blood, she is not my own sister, but she is not much different from my own sister. I was kidnapped when I participated in the Fashion Week in the United States, so it can be said that it was to save her! Of course, she did nothing to me She said it! When encountering the same thing, she will definitely stand up for me without hesitation."

"It's a very enviable feeling!" Li Ya laughed, "But why did you tell me so clearly? You didn't want to be kidnapped by others to save me! Do you want me to be jealous of her?"

"Of course it's not to make you jealous of her, but to make you understand and convince me that I don't consider you to act in this drama!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Okay, I understand, and I am convinced, even more convinced than He Ying as the female lead!" Li Ya said angrily.

"More importantly, although my sister is also an actress, she transformed from a model after all." Xiao Yao added, "She is a big name in the fashion circle, but in the show business circle, her qualifications and connections are relatively average. You are similar in age, and you are both leaders in your respective fields, so you should get closer. If you have any good film and television project opportunities in the future, you can consider working with her!"

"You rejected my role and investment for your sister, and still want me to cooperate with her?" Li Ya looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Besides, you are both an actor and a director, and The film and television company has a lot of energy, even if you are young and have potential qualifications, don’t you still have your mother? If your family wants to praise her, do you still need me to help her?”

"That's different!" Xiao Yao said, "It's impossible for every one of my film and television projects to have a suitable role for her, and she has a good relationship with my mother, but my parents' studio only invests in film and television projects. If you don’t have the ability to make it yourself, you can only recommend it when you meet a suitable one. If you add another one, there will always be more opportunities.”

"That's right!" Li Ya nodded suddenly, and said with a smile, "But I can't even take care of the artists under my own banner! Your sister is not an artist in my studio, why should I take care of her? Could it be that she Ready to sign my studio? Is it possible?"

"Of course it's impossible!" Xiao Yao said, "She has her own studio and her own brand, how could she sign a contract with your studio to be an artist under your banner? But even if she is not an artist under your studio, you can help her It's not without benefits!"

"What's the benefit?" Li Ya asked.

"First of all, my sister is a big name in the fashion industry! She may be average in the entertainment industry, but she still has great energy and influence in the fashion industry!" Xiao Yao said.

"But I'm not in the fashion circle!" Li Ya laughed.

"You did it on purpose? Can the showbiz and fashion circles have nothing to do with each other?" Xiao Yao pouted, "Liang Xueying, do you know? Do you think that Liang Xueying's fashion resources have improved in the past two years, and there are more opportunities to be on the cover of magazines?" Yes, and her performance in taking pictures is also better. That's because she became my sister's best friend and was nurtured by being with my sister. Also, it is said that Liang Xueying's clothes have improved in the past two years, no matter Whether it is in public or in private, her clothes are praised. Do you know why her clothes have become better? It is also because she became best friends with my sister and poached a designer from my sister's studio to make Her personal stylist. If it wasn't for my sister's consent, she wouldn't be able to poach that stylist."

"Your sister is so powerful?" Li Ya asked.

"Of course!" Xiao Yao said, "International supermodel, Eva's first Asian angel, that level can't be blown out!"

"You want me and your sister to be best friends?" Li Ya asked.

"Whether you can become girlfriends or not depends on your own personalities and getting along with each other. That's not up to me," Xiao Yao said, "I'm just saying that you have a good relationship with my sister, and you will definitely not suffer from introducing opportunities to my sister. !"

"I regard Yin Xi as my sister, so in addition to being in the fashion industry, it is also beneficial for you to be in the entertainment industry." Xiao Yao continued, "I have a film and television company and can open film and television projects. My parents have studios and music. Opportunities with film and television projects. You have a good relationship with my sister, so naturally you have a good relationship with our family. My project may not have a role suitable for my sister, but with so many actors in your studio, there are roles suitable for your actors The chances are much greater, right? If you have a good relationship with my sister, then under the same conditions, when I choose actors, I will naturally be more inclined to the actors under your banner."

"Xiao Yao, what do you want to do?" Before Li Ya could answer, a voice suddenly came from behind Xiao Yao.
