069 [Speak Yourself]
Domestic actor Luo Yuan has basically gone through it. There is indeed a suitable actor to play Mei Changsu, but Luo Yuan cannot afford it——
These guys are currently on the front line.
In his previous life, the cost of "Nirvana in Fire" was over 100 million. Luo Yuan wanted to reduce the cost of this drama to 50 million, so he had to start with the actors first. Only by reducing the actors' remuneration could the drama be successfully produced.
Luo Yuan even felt that he was stingy.
Xia Ran is dying. Although Xia Ran has made great progress during the filming of "A Little Smile Is Alluring", it is still too difficult to play a character like Mei Changsu. Moreover, Luo Yuan does not want to continue to take Xia Ran with him for the time being.
The latter should have room for self-development, and the same applies to Ai Xiaoai, although in Luo Yuan's view, Ai Xiaoai may not be able to play the role of Princess Nihuang in "Nirvana in Fire".
Of course.
Luo Yuan may not be able to hire Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai for the time being. If he insists on recruiting the two of them, I'm afraid the agency behind them will not be happy. With their current situation, it's not entirely up to them what kind of drama they take.
Call the shots...
"Then you think about it slowly."
Lu Shaoyan said: "I will contact the major production companies to see which one is willing to invest in our new play. Of course, you must also implement the script as soon as possible. If the script is reliable, it will at least make the people in the production company feel at ease.
.”
Luo Yuan nodded.
When he got home in the evening, he continued to write the script of "Nirvana in Fire", but just as he was preparing to have dinner, Ai Xiaoai and Xia Ran came with a lot of dishes in their hands.
"Xiao Ai is cooking."
Xia Ran looked around, with a playful smile on his face, touching here and there: "Wow, Director Luo, you are quite capable. If you don't have a house worth 20 million, you probably won't be able to get it, right?"
Luo Yuandao: "Friendship price."
Ai Xiaoai put the dishes in the kitchen: "There is too little furniture here. Do you have no time to buy furniture recently, or do you have no money?"
"I guess I'm out of money!"
Xia Ran said with a smile: "I don't know about Director Luo's little treasury, but I'll take care of it. Don't forget what our family does."
"Yes……"
Luo Yuan's eyes lit up. Xia Ran's family ran a furniture company. This was also Xia Ran's confidence as a rich second generation. He had forgotten about this before: "Purchase all the furniture for me tomorrow."
"okay."
Xia Ran readily agreed.
Ai Xiaoai pretended not to care and said: "I found that the environment in this community is quite good. I just want to buy a house in a while..."
"Yeah, you two!"
Xia Ran said angrily: "It's okay to pretend to be a couple in front of the media. Are you still planning to live in the same community? If this continues, will we start living together? Where does this put me?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
Ai Xiaoai rolled her eyes at Xia Ran: "You can live in this community if you like, and no one will stop you."
"That's right."
Xia Ran thinks it makes sense.
Luo Yuan urged Ai Xiaoai: "Go and cook. I'm hungry. I have to write a script. Xia Ran, you can go play by yourself."
"OK."
Ai Xiaoai went into the kitchen obediently.
Xia Ran frowned: "What am I doing? You don't even have a sofa to sit on. No, I can't bear it anymore. Now I'm going to call my dad to send some furniture over."
"It's not appropriate so late."
"There's nothing inappropriate. My dad has been telling me recently that I want to thank you very much. He will probably be happy to do this."
"It's up to you."
Luo Yuan knew Xia Ran's father, because the original owner had visited Xia Ran's house with Ai Xiaoai more than once before, and he had the impression that he was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a soft-spoken voice.
"Hey, Dad!"
Xia Ran's phone number has already been dialed: "I'm here in Luoyuan. Our family has a branch in Yanjing. Don't you have someone send some furniture over? The new house Luo Yuan just bought has no use for furniture."
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone.
Xia Ran suddenly called Luo Yuan: "Director Luo, my dad wants to have a few words with you."
"Find me?"
Luo Yuan took Xia Ran's call and said with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Xia, I'm Luo Yuan."
"Xiao Yuan!"
A kind voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'll have the furniture delivered to you later. I have to thank you very much for Xia Ran!"
"You're welcome."
Luo Yuan smiled and said: "Uncle used to take good care of me. I remember this in my heart. Besides..."
"nothing."
Xia Ran's father said: "I can still afford to lose one million."
Luo Yuan couldn't help but smile, he was indeed Xia Ran's biological father, and he even spoke in the same wealthy style.
"Besides, aren't you very good now?"
Xia Ran's father continued: "I don't quite understand the show you filmed called "A Little Smile Is Alluring", but Xia Ran's mother loves this show very much and she keeps praising you to me!"
Luo Yuan said continuously: "Auntie gave me the award."
Xia Ran's father changed his voice: "Xiao Yuan, I heard that you and Xiao Ai have been in love recently? I watched the news recently..."
Luo Yuan wanted to deny it.
But when the words came to his lips, he changed his tune: "So be it."
Xia Ran's father nodded with satisfaction: "It's good. Xiao Ai is a good boy. You three have always had a good relationship. I won't say much else. Just keep an eye on Xia Ran for me. He is too out of touch.
You two are stable."
"knew."
After chatting for a while, we hung up the phone.
Xia Ran smiled and said, "Have you noticed that my dad is getting more and more nagging? He is older now, and he always gives me lectures on the phone whenever he has nothing to do."
"He asked me to keep an eye on you."
"Then you should keep an eye on it."
Then Luo Yuan stared at Xia Ran. Five minutes later, Xia Ran begged for mercy: "Director Luo, I was wrong. You kept staring at me for five minutes without blinking. It looked so weird."
Luo Yuan laughed.
Half an hour later, the Ai Xiao Ai Cai was ready and served on the few remaining chairs in the room, and the three of them squatted and ate their meal.
"correct."
While eating, Luo Yuan suddenly said: "Can you recommend any actors to me? I need someone with good acting skills and a bookish appearance to be the male lead in the new drama."
"Dont look at me."
Xia Ran waved his hand: "I don't know many people in the company."
Ai Xiaoai said: "How about Tang Feng? One of the seven great actors, Solomon, is currently promoting a high-quality actor. He is an actor of the younger generation who has good looks and acting skills. He is probably the one who best meets your requirements."
Luo Yuan spread his hands: "I can't afford it."
Xia Ran pouted: "Then what do you want?"
Luo Yuan thought for a while: "You don't have to be famous, but you have to have good acting skills and a suitable appearance. The most important thing is that the price cannot be too expensive, and the budget of the new play cannot be too high... What do you want to see me do?"
