248. Male lead (2/2 thio)
After the filming of "The Love Is Out of Access", Deng Wen left Pujiang and went to Yangcheng. His company was located there and the next activity was there.
Although the ratings of this TV series did not meet expectations, it did not mean that it was bad, and it still greatly promoted Deng Wen's career. On this occasion, under the company's arrangement, he participated in activities everywhere to consolidate his popularity and expand his influence.
"Deng Wen~~~~ Don't eat peaches in the future."
At the event, many people shouted such slogans, and fans raised support signs with slogans such as "Deng Wen, I am your Taozi Sister".
Deng Wen felt that his fate with Taozi in this life would not be resolved.
At first he was resistant, but after the company discussed it, he thought it was better to be silenced than to be joking. If fans joked, it would be better to admit it generously and make a joke on yourself, which would make you feel more intimate and win the love of fans.
His agent Wu Wendan stood in the backstage, paying attention to the situation on the scene.
The staff standing beside her reminded: "Sister Wu, is your cell phone ringing?"
Wu Wendan quickly checked the bag, not her phone, but Deng Wen's phone was ringing.
She took it out and saw that the caller ID was Sheng Xiaoxiao.
Sheng Xiaoxiao is the producer, and her cooperative relationship with Deng Wen was rarely in contact after the filming of "The Love Is Out of Access".
"Hello Mr. Sheng, Deng Wen is attending the event, I am his agent Wu Wendan."
Sheng Xiaoxiao on the other end of the phone was stunned. Although she was not Deng Wen himself, as his agent, she had a great say in filming, so she first asked Deng Wen about her recent arrangements and explained her purpose after she learned that there was no filming task.
"A new TV series? Preparing? OK, thank you Mr. Sheng, thank you. On behalf of Deng Wen, I would like to thank you for remembering him..."
After hearing the news, Wu Wendan immediately thanked him repeatedly. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he was in good mood.
At the same time, she was very curious about why Sheng Xiaoxiao took on a new project just after the last project was over.
"May I ask, Mr. Sheng, what kind of drama is this time? Or is it a costume romance?"
Sheng Xiaoxiao said: "This time it's not a costume drama, but a modern urban suspense drama. It is a key project of Pujiang Film Studio. The preliminary preparations are almost done. If it's soon, filming will start in December."
Wu Wendan was delighted and asked, "Who is the director?"
"Liu Jinlu, I just filmed "Mysterious Call".
Wu Wendan had never heard of Liu Jinlu, but when he remembered this TV series, he was indeed very popular for a while.
She chatted with Sheng Xiaoxiao for a long time, mainly with two meanings, one is to thank you, and the other is to understand the basic situation of the drama. Finally, she hung up the phone, and soon Sheng Xiaoxiao sent the character script.
Wu Wendan returned to the lounge. Two makeup artists were chatting in the lounge. When they saw her coming in, they greeted her respectfully. Wu Wendan nodded, sat on the sofa, took out the tablet from his bag, downloaded the script sent over, and opened it to browse.
"The Hidden Corner?"
Wu Wendan thought to himself that it was indeed a suspense drama, and this name had already explained everything. Her eyes swept to the author, and she was stunned, and then she was excited.
"Zhang Tan?"
In the screenwriter column, Zhang Tan actually wrote it, and it was the only name! In other words, is the screenwriter of this TV series Zhang Tan?
Wu Wendan was full of expectations. Zhang Tan was not well-known among the public, and few people knew him, but he successively produced "Little Drama Bones" and "Woman Thirty", which dominated the throne of the number one ratings on TV at the same time for two consecutive weeks, making him famous in the circle and went to many entertainment companies and agents' small notebooks.
"The Woman Thirty" is still on the air, but after the filming is over, I didn't expect that Zhang Tan was preparing for a new project. As a result, the studio will not let him rest."
Wu Wendan thought to himself, calm down and read the script.
The male protagonist!!! The character given is actually the male protagonist! Wu Wendan feels like a pie is falling from the sky. What's wrong, it's a peach that falls from the sky. Is Deng Wen going to have a good luck in love? But it should not be in love life, but in career. Is this a blessing in disguise?
...
After Deng Wen's activity, he returned to the lounge and saw Wu Wendan sitting on the sofa reading the script intently, saying hello, sat in front of the makeup mirror, and asked the makeup artist to remove his makeup.
Wu Wendan got up, walked behind him, and chatted while watching him take off his makeup.
"You called your phone just now. It was Sheng Xiaoxiao from Pujiang Film Studio."
Deng Wen looked at her through the mirror and asked, "Sheng Xiaoxiao? What's wrong with the producer of "Love Unable to Access"? What's wrong with her calling?"
Wu Wendan said: "Let me tell you later."
She packed up her things, waited for Deng Wen to finish her makeup, and returned to the nanny car together.
"What's the matter, Sister Wu? You still have to keep it confidential?" Deng Wen asked curiously.
"There are many people and some people are not sure about things. Be careful. Sheng Xiaoxiao called to invite you to participate in a TV series with the male lead."
"Ah? Didn't she just end "The Love Is Out of the Way?"
"What's wrong with starting a new project right now?"
Deng Wen suddenly felt excited and asked, "What project?"
He thought of the reason why Sheng Xiaoxiao and the director had a bad relationship was because she had taken on a new TV series project, and that project was Zhang Tan.
"It's Zhang Tan's "The Hidden Corner".
Deng Wen said happily: "Sure enough! I guessed it! What role he played for me? Forget it, no matter what role, I am interested."
Wu Wendan smiled and said, "Don't be too full of words. The character script has been sent here, I'll show you."
"Okay. Are they impatient? I can't wait either."
A few minutes later, Deng Wen said with a bitter face: "No~~~~~~~ The male lead is right, but this is a bad guy, and he is a middle-aged man. Is such a gloomy character suitable? I am a sunny idol."
Wu Wendan smiled bitterly: "I was very excited at the beginning, but when I saw the character settings, I was stunned. I don't think you are suitable."
Deng Wen hesitated: "I don't think it's suitable, but why would they choose me? Do you think I can do it? Otherwise, Sister Wu, I'll call back and ask?"
Wu Wendan: "That's right. Whether it succeeds or not, you have to call back to thank Sheng Xiaoxiao."
Deng Wen continued to read the script: "I will study this script first."
When the car arrived at the company, Deng Wen finished reading the script and became even more hesitant. Putting aside the dark side of Zhang Dongsheng, this is a very outstanding character, and the script is also a good script.
He was not sure whether he could play this role well, and he was not sure whether this role could be recognized by the audience.
After lunch, he replied to Sheng Xiaoxiao's call. After thanking him sincerely, he asked his doubts.
Sheng Xiaoxiao explained to him and finally said, "You were chosen by Zhang Tan. He thought you were very suitable. You must have confidence in yourself."
She thought of what Zhang Tan said back then, Deng Wen was actually not that handsome...
Suddenly she wanted to laugh, she probably would have to be conservative forever.
"My teacher Zhang ordered me?" Deng Wen was a little surprised. He thought it was chosen by the director, but it was Zhang Tan.
What was even more unexpected was that Zhang Tan called him in the evening, personally persuaded him to explain why he chose him, completely dispelling his concerns and allowing him to take on the role.
After the call with Deng Wen, Zhang Tan got up and went out, went to the first floor, and found Xiaobai from the pile of dolls.
"Did you bring the little water gun? We're going to film soon, how about practicing?"
When Xiaobai, who was disturbed by the story, was immediately excited and touched his little hand on his waist. Hey, he didn't touch the little water gun. Dada da ran to Liuliu and pulled out the little water gun from Liuliu's pants.
"Well, practice? Who is the black fart? Come out quickly!" While speaking, she pointed the little water gun at Zhang Tan.
"Don't look at me, the gun is down~~~"
Chapter completed!
