The discussion about the female lead of "Nirvana in Fire" was temporarily over, and the topic of the meeting naturally turned to the male lead. However, when discussing the male lead, everyone's eyes were observing Luo Xun's reaction intentionally or unintentionally-

There are rumors in the company.

Originally, Sister Hong intended to let Jingyu play the role of the male lead, Prince Jing, in "Nirvana in Fire", but Luo Xun rejected it. Does this mean that there is a deep conflict between Luo Xun and Jingyu, and even involves the so-called competition for the top brother?

Luo Xun's expression was normal.

There was no deliberate suppression in Jingyu's case, so he had a clear conscience, but the male lead of "Nirvana in Fire" is indeed very important, and the candidate must be carefully selected.

The original Wang Kai performed very well.

But unfortunately, "Nirvana in Fire" appeared several years earlier, and Wang Kai had just debuted at this moment. Not to mention that the company would not agree to such a newcomer to play the male lead, even Luo Xun did not dare to guarantee that Wang Kai, a newcomer, could handle the role of Prince Jing.

"Everyone."

Hou Hongliang smiled and said, "This year there is a very popular TV series called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". I think there is an actor in this drama who has great potential. We can invite him to audition for the second male lead..."

"Brother Hu?"

A senior executive looked up.

Luo Xun was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he played Mei Changsu and Brother Hu was going to play Prince Jing? If so, then fate is really a bit strange...

"Of course not."

Hou Hongliang said, "After Brother Hu played in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", his popularity is no less than that of Jing Yu from our company. His agency is unlikely to let him play the second male lead. I am talking about an actor named Peng Yuyan in the play."

Facts have proved that Luo Xun was overthinking.

However, when Luo Xun heard the name Peng Yuyan, he couldn't help but feel moved. He had to admit that Hou Hongliang, as a producer, had a sharp eye. Peng Yuyan might really try the role of Prince Jing, because he was also a more upright actor.

"Peng Yuyan?"

"Never heard of him."

"Is he an actor from the mainland?"

"I don't remember him."

Some senior executives of the company who don't watch TV dramas frowned. They wouldn't know much about a fairy tale drama, even if it was really popular some time ago. Sister Hong gave a brief introduction. She knew the information of many artists in the circle: "Peng Yuyan is a Taiwanese artist. "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is his famous work. Did producer Hou prepare photos?"

"Yes."

Hou Hongliang nodded.

Photos of Peng Yuyan appeared on the big screen of the projector in the conference room. They were all dressed in modern clothes, similar to photo albums. Judging from the image, she was quite upright and there was no big problem with the fit of the role.

"I know him."

Luo Xun said, "You can try."

I remember that when "Nirvana in Fire" was broadcast in the previous life, Wang Kai had just attracted a wave of fans with his excellent performance in "The Pretender", and Peng Yuyan's current situation is somewhat similar to Wang Kai. He happened to be in the popular "Legend of Sword and Fairy" some time ago.

The male lead spoke.

Some senior executives who wanted to raise objections temporarily shut up. They still had to give face to the male lead, not to mention that this male lead would be the investor of "Nirvana in Fire".

The meeting continued.

Hou Hongliang looked at Luo Xun: "Wang Ou's agent talked to me a few days ago. Brother Xun, do you want our company's Wang Ou to play the role of Qin Prajna?"

"I have this idea."

Luo Xun did not deny this.

Hou Hongliang nodded: "I think it's okay. Although Wang Ou has developed well, she has a little less resources this year. Most of the top resources in the industry are monopolized by several companies in Xingyi..."

No one has any objection to this candidate.

Because Wang Ou is the best female artist in the company besides Xia Yu, and Xia Yu has a cooperative relationship with the company, and she is often outside the company's projects, so the company has been cultivating Wang Ou, and her performance is worthy of the company's cultivation.

"If you ask me..."

A senior executive said casually: "It's not impossible to let Wang Ou play the leading female role, and I remember that Wang Ou and Brother Xun played lovers before."

"No."

Luo Xun was about to refuse, but Kong Sheng spoke first, with a very firm attitude. He was already familiar with the script and knew that Wang Ou was definitely not the most suitable candidate for the leading female role. When the senior executive saw Kong Sheng speaking, he naturally stopped talking and just smiled awkwardly:

"I just said it casually."

The meeting continued. Hou Hongliang proposed most of the following roles for the company's artists. Luo Xun didn't say anything about this. Of course, he wanted to have the final say, but that was unrealistic. After all, "Nirvana in Fire" is Huanyue's project. If the selection of some important roles is not handed over to the company for internal digestion, how can the company come up with the best team to invest in this drama?

Unlike quasi-first-tier artists like Luo Xun.

Many artists in the company rely on the company's resources for their living. They don't have the strength of Luo Xun or Xia Yu, who can let big projects from outside come to them. Even if there are projects that come to them, they must be small and scattered projects. For high-quality projects such as "Nirvana in Fire" that the company has invested in itself, they must be digested internally.

During the meeting...

Kong Shuang silently accepted the information conveyed by this meeting. First of all, Luo Xun's status in the meeting. In the past, Luo Xun had a certain right to speak because of his status as the boss of the company. His status was in the middle of the meeting, but now Luo Xun has an additional layer of investor halo, and his words are obviously more powerful. He has become the upper power layer of the meeting. He doesn't speak easily, but once he speaks, everyone will definitely pay attention to his attitude.

In addition to Luo Xun...

Kong Shuang also found that Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang's status in the company is not low. To be precise, the top management trusts them very much, especially Director Kong Sheng. When he speaks, Mu Yunxue will support him 90% of the time, and the boss's support often means unanimous approval!

Two and a half hours later

The first meeting of Huanyue's "Nirvana in Fire" creative team ended, and the senior executives left one after another. Luo Xun stayed and talked with Kong Sheng about some more in-depth topics, such as how the TV series was going to be filmed, what style it would be based on, etc. Although Kong Sheng also filmed "Nirvana in Fire" in the previous life, and Li Xue was more responsible for the pictures, no one could guarantee that Kong Sheng at this moment had the same idea as Kong Sheng in the previous life.

The result reassured Luo Xun.

Kong Sheng had the same thinking as in the previous life. There was no difference between the style of "Nirvana in Fire" and the original version in the previous life, and his team already had Li Xue, so the lineup of the main creators behind the scenes of this drama was basically the same in the previous life and the present life.
