Chapter 333 Unexpected Competition

As soon as Zhang Li finished speaking, Liu Heping also spoke.

"Shen Lang is a good actor and has played many roles. In fact, I think he is the best actor in China in many roles, such as Wang Xiansheng!"

"Ha ha!"

"That's true. When Mr. Shen starts making waves, the world changes dramatically!"

"Teacher Liu is so funny. Shen Lang has played so many roles, but he only picks Wang Xiansheng to talk about!"

Liu Heping glanced at the staff around him calmly and said seriously, "Don't think that anyone can play a role like Wang Xiansheng."

"Director Liu Wei is an old friend of mine. He once told me that many of his films have this kind of character. For example, this time he found Bing Bing Fan to shoot a film of the same type. He tried several male leads but none of them fit Shen Lang's style!"

"No choice, he still has to ask Shen Lang for help!"

"So, do you think it's easy to play Shen Lang's Wang Xiansheng? Not everyone can do this job!"

At this point, he turned to look at Zhang Jianjun: "The same goes for Mr. Zhang. Not everyone can play the role of an emperor. If you are not satisfied with Mr. Baoguo, then I can help you contact Mr. Daoming. You should be satisfied with this, right?"

Zhang Jianjun smiled bitterly and said, "Teachers, you haven't even tried Teacher Shen out, so how can you conclude that he's not suitable?"

"It's just not suitable. He doesn't have enough aura like that. Don't even look at him!"

The negotiations reached a deadlock. Zhang Jianjun smiled and did not argue with the two of them face to face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then let's discuss it again!"

"Mr. Zhang, I think there is no need to discuss this further!" Zhang Li said bluntly.

Liu Heping quickly helped to smooth things over, saying, "Boss Zhang, Director Zhang is like this, he speaks bluntly, but he has good intentions, and he does everything for the sake of our play!"

Zhang Jianjun smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I understand. Let's discuss it later!"

After saying that, he walked out the door directly.

The two sides argued for a long time, and Zhang Jianjun actually said "let's talk about it again"!
Zhang Li waited for him to leave and said unhappily, "They just want to block us from choosing actors. Anyone can act in my play. How can we shoot it?"

Liu Heping consoled him, "Didn't Mr. Zhang say we'd discuss it later? Director Zhang, you too, they're the investor, you should at least give them some face!"

"Give some face to this place, give some face to that place, in the end, can this show still be watched?"

Liu Heping sighed and didn't try to persuade him any further.

……

"We represent the capital after all, but they don't give you any face at all!" Zhang Jianjun's assistant finally said dissatisfiedly after getting on the elevator.

Zhang Jianjun didn't answer. He flipped through his phone and made a call: "How's it going? Have you contacted the person?"

Deputy Director Sun on the opposite side has been very busy recently. After hearing what Zhang Jianjun said, he remembered that the other party asked him to contact Shen Lang.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible!"

"Okay, you can invite him to Feixing City to discuss this matter directly!"

Upon hearing this, the assistant said excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, you are right. You just can't spoil these directors and screenwriters!"

Zhang Jianjun turned his head and looked at him and said, "I did this for the movie!"

The assistant nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, my awareness is too low!"

……

Shen Lang swore that before he entered the conference room and met Zhang Li and Liu Heping, he had never thought that they would not agree to him acting in this play. He turned to look at Zhang Jianjun in confusion: "Mr. Zhang, this is..."

Zhang Jianjun looked at the flushed faces of Zhang Li and Liu Heping, and felt extremely happy.

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Liu, and Teacher Shen, please take time out of your busy schedule to audition me. Please give me some face!"

"Our Golden Eagle Media leadership team unanimously agrees that Mr. Shen is the best candidate to play the role of Emperor Jiajing this time!"

"And Mr. Shen himself is also willing to play this role!"

……

Zhang Jianjun spoke a lot of words with great force, but in a nutshell, it all came down to one sentence: Shen Lang, we all have high hopes for him, you guys can do whatever you want!
This left the two directors in a slump.

They have no grudges against Shen Lang in the past or recently, and he came here for no apparent reason. They can't be angry at Shen Lang, right?

Also, Zhang Jianjun is the investor. If they listen to your opinion as the director, it is democracy; if they don't listen to your opinion, it is dictatorship. If you don't like people's democracy and dictatorship, then you can choose not to shoot.

But not shooting...

There are few investors for big historical dramas, and they feel it is a pity if they finally get one and then don't shoot the show because of the problem of actor allocation.

At this point, the two were in a dilemma.

After understanding the situation, Shen Lang coughed lightly and said to Zhang Jianjun first: "Boss Zhang, thank you for your recognition of me! I am very grateful!"

Zhang Jianjun didn't expect Shen Lang to be so polite. He quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, no, it's not easy to invite Teacher Shen now. I've heard that Jialan Film and Television has received a lot of notices, and most of them are inviting you!"

"I learned from Director Sun that it was your invitation, so I agreed without even thinking about it!"

Lao Donkey: "Bullshit, you agreed to this play because you heard its name, right?"

Shen Lang then turned to Zhang Li and Liu Heping and said, "Teachers, do you have a candidate in mind for our Jiajing?"

I am a big shot now after all. If the other party doesn't have anyone in mind, he won't resist like this.

Sure enough, Zhang Li was still angry, but Liu Heping said, "Yes, we wanted to invite Teacher Baoguo before..."

Before Liu Heping finished speaking, Shen Lang exclaimed, "Teacher Baoguo? Teacher Liu, Director Zhang, you have really good taste! The emperor played by Teacher Baoguo is indeed very suitable for the role of Jiajing in the script of "Da Ming"!"

After hearing Shen Lang's words, everyone present was confused.

Zhang Jianjun…you are on my side! ! ! ! !
Zhang Li, Liu Heping... Which side are you on?
However, Shen Lang's words suddenly made Zhang Li and Liu Heping, who were meeting him for the first time, have a better impression of him.

"Hey, if I knew that Mr. Baoguo was coming, I really wouldn't dare to come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside the door: "Shen Lang, you are too polite. I have also played a beggar. A good actor can play any role as long as he understands the script!"

Everyone turned around and saw Chen Baoguo, who was wearing a neat suit and looked very energetic, appear in front of them.

Zhang Jianjun's face suddenly turned cold when he saw this.

I had clearly expressed my opposition, but the other party still contacted Chen Baoguo.

Zhang Li also felt that something was wrong, but when he thought about the fact that the decision to invite Chen Baoguo was made before Zhang Jianjun came to the meeting that day, he felt that he had a clear conscience and did not explain.

Now, two actors, both big names in China, unexpectedly started competing for a role.

Shen Lang has a headache.
