The contract hasn't been signed yet!

Putting aside all human factors, Chen Zhi felt that Song Meng was completely qualified for the role of Chen Meijia in "Love Apartment" based on the previous audition session.

The reason why he asked Lu Yang.

He wanted to give Lu Yang face. After all, he was a screenwriter, and after signing with the company, this guy became his immediate boss.

But now.

Not only did Lu Yang not directly agree to get the role, but he asked other questions.

It seems like he is contradicting his own words.

And his problem.

It has nothing to do with auditioning anymore, it’s more like testing the actor’s character.

Not only Chen Zhi, but also everyone sitting around him had their eyes on Lu Yang with the intention of watching a show.

Opposite Lu Yang, Song Meng was stunned for a moment. After a while, he slowly said: "Find your ex-boyfriend to pretend to be a couple, stay in the apartment, and enjoy half-price benefits."

"Did you guess it?" Lu Yang asked.

"Yeah." Song Meng shrugged, "Director Chen originally asked me to play a woman who behaves in a room with two people, and now you ask this question again..."

"Then if it were you, what would you do?" Lu Yang asked again.

"Let your ex-boyfriend go away. Whoever you love is already an ex-boyfriend, so who will pay attention to him?" Song Meng said pretending to be angry.

"Very good." Lu Yang looked at her, "Is it okay if I ask you to play a certain role again next season?"

After the words fell, everyone was stunned.

Even Chen Zhui did not expect that things would develop in other directions.

Lu Yang slowly explained: "Actually, there is a character in this drama that is more suitable for Song Meng, but in the script I wrote, that character has not yet appeared."

Everyone was even more stupid.

In the past, TV dramas would only think about writing a second and third season when the first season was a huge success. But looking at Lu Yang, it seems like he already has a draft in mind?

And there is.

Do you have that much confidence in this drama?

"Is this too long?" Chen Zhi asked, "We can't even decide whether we will film a second season."

"Then I'll think about it." Lu Yang looked at Gu Qinghan who was standing aside, "Let's sign it first."

"Yeah." Gu Qinghan nodded, like a little assistant.

Song Meng was confused and pulled by Lan Qin to discuss signing a contract to join Gu Qinghan's studio, while Lu Yang lowered his head and pondered.

It is true that Song Meng is suitable to play Chen Meijia, but he feels that he is more suitable to play Tang Youyou.

The girl from Sichuan and Chongqing has been playing a bit part for many years...

Playing yourself is the simplest thing.

But if Song Meng is really allowed to come back for the second season, the day lily will be cold, and it is impossible for him and Gu Qinghan to start filming every season due to scheduling issues.

In this way...

The only option is to change the script.

Let Tang Youyou come in as soon as possible and appropriately delete the plot that has nothing to do with the main plot. Anyway, the real selling point of "Love Apartment" is the comedy part.

Just do it.

"I want to change the script." Lu Yang lowered his voice and said to Chen Zhi, "Put another character in earlier."

"Isn't it a bit forceful?" Chen Zhi asked.

"No." Lu Yang shook his head.

In the previous life, in the script of Love Apartment, Tang Youyou was originally a person with a low sense of existence. Lu Yang was already standing on the shoulders of giants. It is better to change on this basis, speed up her entry time, and add a little more to her.

's role.

"I need to read the script first," Chen Zhi said, "and I need to determine which role Song Meng is suitable for."

"Okay." Lu Yang nodded.

They discussed very quickly here, and Lan Qin moved even faster over there. In a matter of a few words, Song Meng read the contract several times and signed his name directly.

Become a member of Gu Qinghan Studio.

"Go back and wait for notification." Seeing that the matter was done, Lu Yang said the official reply.

"Next." Chen Zhi greeted.

Just now, following Lu Yang's operation, Chen Zhi was able to declare that the misunderstanding was resolved.

At least his creative freedom is guaranteed, and Lu Yang has to discuss with him even when changing the script. It feels good to be respected.

Chen Zhi's lips curved into a smile.

At this moment, Lu Yang suddenly said, "Smile a little more cheaply."

Chen Zhi: "?"

He stopped laughing.

Looking up, another artist came to the conference room to audition. Lu Yang spoke to this person. Chen Zhi looked at the artist and then at the information in his hand:

Name: Lai Hao

Occupation:student

Unit: Shanghai Academy of Drama (junior year)

He has an average appearance, neither handsome nor fat, nor thin. He doesn't stand out in a crowd. The only thing that makes people remember him are his big eyes. Because there is too much flesh on his face, he looks serious but also has an awkward look.

A bit obscene.

Then the man laughed.

Cheap smile.

It also looks more obscene.

At this time, Chen Zhi finally understood the reason why Lu Yang made Lai Hao laugh -

In the script, all the actions of Zeng Xiaoxian are presented in the form of words, although there are also detailed instructions on the smile, saying that the smile should be natural and mean.

When Chen Zhi read the script, he still couldn't figure out what a natural and non-cheeky smile looked like.

Until he saw Lai Hao.

"Director Chen, how is this guy?" Lu Yang asked him again at this time.

"Okay!" Chen Zhi said directly without thinking, "Go back and wait for notification."

There was still a long queue to follow, and no one could guarantee whether the next one would laugh even more cheaply. Just in case, Chen Zhi just said to go back and wait for notification.

And Gu Qinghan didn't take any action. When the time comes to actually join the crew, there will be plenty of opportunities to sign people in.

But everyone else present stared blankly at the discussion between Lu Yang and Chen Zhi. Didn't they agree to guarantee creative freedom to the director?

Lu Yang did not interfere, it could even be said to be helpful.

But look at Chen Zhi’s appearance.

The more I look at him, the more he looks like Lu Yang’s sweetheart.

What about your creative freedom?

Why not?

...

The performance of those who came to audition later was quite mediocre. Lu Yang couldn't arouse much interest. After all, he was looking for a role, not the second actor in the drama in his previous life.

The appearance of Song Meng and Lai Hao just now are not similar, but Lu Yang thinks they are just similar in spirit.

Besides, the director of "Love Apartment" has become Chen Zhi. Every director has a different style. In terms of roles, Director Chen should have his own opinions.

So Lu Yang spread his hands and loved no one.

From time to time, he would whisper to Gu Qinghan next to him.

Chen Zhi and other members of the director team evaluated the auditioning artists.

After a busy half day, it’s over.

Follow-up auditions are very common, and the selection of actors requires discussion among the director team. Chen Zhi was chatting with others on the other end.

The young couple here...

"What's for dinner tonight?" Gu Qinghan asked quietly when he knew there was no one behind him.

"What do you want to eat?" Lu Yang responded to her whisper.

"At this time, I want to eat crabs..." Gu Qinghan blinked, "Ye Zhi doesn't know where he got the channel to buy a lot of hairy crabs."

"I bought it! Just steam it to get the original flavor." Lu Yang shrugged. It was not Gu Qinghan's menstrual period at this time, so he didn't have so many restrictions.

"Anything else?" he asked again.
