"Myself?"

Luo Yuan fell into deep thought. Perhaps because of the habit of thinking as a director, he subconsciously excluded himself from casting. All he could think about was how to choose suitable actors among others. Now after listening to the two reminders, he

Only then did he realize that he could also star in his own drama. When he was filming "Born Together", he was cast as Ren Yifan because there was something wrong with the actor.

"Director Luo, think about it yourself."

Xia Ran took a bite of fried pork slices and said: "You are an actor who has passable acting skills and passable appearance. He is not famous and is also very cheap. The only one I can think of is you, because as the director of this show, you can do it for free!"

“I totally agree!”

Ai Xiaoai raised her hand: "According to me, with your acting skills, as long as it's not too special a role, you can basically handle it. Although I don't know what kind of character your new drama's male lead will be, I'm sure you're a natural.

He has the face of a leading actor!"

This compliment is so shameful.

However, Luo Yuan was indeed impressed. In his previous life, Hu Ge earned at least tens of millions of dollars in salary for his role in "Langya Bang" even at a reduced price. After all, the latter was still on the front line in China at that time. As the leading actor himself, he could save this money.

Part of the budget, and the artists contracted by the company are even cheaper, after all, they are all internal prices.

Yes.

When Luo Yuan is filming a movie, if the budget is not enough, he will try to reduce the number of actors as much as possible, because he feels that actors can be trained if their acting skills are not enough, but investment in some hardware facilities cannot be saved.

"That's all right!"

Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai had seen Luo Yuan's acting skills when they were filming "Born Together", and it can be said that they were convinced. Even Xia Ran, who had made great progress in acting, did not dare to compare himself with Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan said: "Is it stable?"

Xia Ran nodded: "It must be stable!"

Ai Xiaoai ate a chili pepper, which was so spicy that she shed tears. She did not forget to add with difficulty: "This wave is absolutely solid!"

Then there's no problem.

Xia Ran said: "By the way, can you tell me what type the new drama is?"

Luo Yuan didn't ask for Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai to star, so the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't ask any questions. They were just curious about the type of Luo Yuan's new drama. After all, if it was just a youth drama, the male protagonist was actually pretty cool.

Easy to find.

Luo Yuandao: "Historical conspiracy."

Ai Xiaoai was stunned for a moment. This category span was a bit big. She was not sure whether Luo Yuan could really control it. She couldn't help but worry a little: "Are you sure?"

Ai Xiaoai suspects...

Luo Yuan did not invite himself and Xia Ran because he was not sure about the drama. He was afraid of injuring the two of them. If this was the reason, then Ai Xiaoai would join the drama no matter what.

Luo Yuan smiled and said: "It must be stable."

Ai Xiaoai carefully observed Luo Yuan's expression and found that there was indeed nothing similar to nervousness on the latter's face, so he also laughed.

After dinner.

The three of them packed up the dishes and chopsticks. Not long after, someone actually delivered the furniture. Two big blue trucks were parked downstairs in the community.

"How many things is this?"

Luo Yuan couldn't help but was speechless. Xia Ran's father was really generous. He estimated that these furniture would cost tens of thousands, and they even delivered them overnight...

Xia Ran said from the side: "Your house is big, you can fit it in."

Ai Xiaoai has already led the workers to carry the furniture up, where the sofa should be placed, where the wardrobe should be placed, and where the table should be placed, all arranged in an orderly manner.

"Luoyuan."

Xia Ran bumped Luo Yuan with his arm: "Do you think Xiao Ai is the mistress of this family now?"

Luo Yuan suddenly realized.

That's kind of what happened.

When Xia Ran saw that Luo Yuan didn't answer him, he smiled and did not continue to mention the topic. An hour later, all the furniture was finally placed. Ai Xiaoai, who was busy with other things, took out the fruit he had just cut and gave it to the workers.

.

"Thank you for your hard work everyone!"

Seeing the workers thanking Ai Xiaoai, Xia Ran said to Luo Yuan, "And she is a caring hostess."

Luo Yuan: "..."

After packing everything, the three of them sat on the sofa. Luo Yuan said: "It's still about the new drama. I want to hire an etiquette teacher, a very professional one. Do any of you have a suitable candidate for this?"

"Etiquette teacher?"

"Yes, etiquette teacher."

Although the original novel of "Nirvana in Fire" is an imaginary historical text, in order to facilitate the audience's understanding, the TV series roughly set the background dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The etiquette, clothing, and scenery of all the actors in the drama are also based on the standards of that dynasty.

.

Luo Yuan felt this was necessary.

Because there is a problem with the sense of substitution in fictional history. If you create a hodgepodge of different backgrounds in your play, it will seem too inconsistent. Moreover, there are no people who have specialized in the actions and etiquette of the actors in costume dramas.

If you come to guide me, you won’t be able to shoot well at all.

"I know a candidate."

Ai Xiaoai said: "We at the Beijing Film and Television Academy have an associate professor who specializes in ancient etiquette. He has served as an etiquette guide for many costume dramas in the past. I heard that he is a very responsible person. It is said that he guides the whole process. Every time

He will take the initiative to communicate and impart etiquette knowledge to every actor who joins the cast, and for every big scene with a strong sense of ritual, he will confirm etiquette procedures and norms with the director team in advance."

"Oh, I know him!"

Xia Ran also remembered: "It seems to be Professor Wen Luping Wen, who has a high reputation in the school. Many students ask Professor Wen for help after graduation. Professor Wen will provide help. We are all students of Jinghua College, and Director Luo is even more popular in the school."

He has made some achievements in the industry, and I believe he will be willing to help."

"Do you have contact information?"

"I suggest you go and visit in person."

Ai Xiaoai said sternly: "Professor Wen is usually very busy. Although he is easy to talk to, he is also very strict. If your script cannot impress him, he will rarely join the team. At most, he will only give guidance from a distance."

"Okay, I understand."

In fact, this is the advantage of being from an orthodox background. Students who graduate from Beijing Film and Television Academy can always find resources easily. In addition to Beijing Film and Television Academy, there are several drama schools in China. Each drama academy has a bit of a group spirit.

This has become the norm in the entertainment industry, including in previous lives. Otherwise, where would the knife-inserting teaching come from?

"Then let's go first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai left, and Luo Yuan returned to his bedroom, opened his laptop, and wrote his name in the first column of the "Nirvana in Fire" cast list——
