Chapter 3-Director Asks Me to Be the Lead
"Director Zhu, Deng Lun's agency called just now. This time, he might need at least half a year to recuperate from his waist attack. He won't be able to film for the time being!”
The assistant director walked over and handed the phone to Zhu Bin.
Changing the lead actor at the last minute was a big taboo. It could be said that if it was not done well, the drama would be ruined.
"Alright, I got it!"
Zhu Bin put down the phone and was also weighing the pros and cons. He was too satisfied with Ye Fan's performance. He was afraid that other than Ye Fan, there was no one else who was more suitable for this role than him.
"Ye Fan, which company are you from?”
Zhu Bin suddenly asked. This matter still needed to be communicated. Changing roles was a serious matter, and it was not so easy to resolve.
"Director Zhu, I'm an artist from a company under Yang Mi's studio!”
Even Ye Fan himself could not tell which company he was from.
Yang Mi could be said to be a hot A-list actress now. She had opened a studio and had many artists under her. Fatty Di was also under their company.
She had successfully brought a lot of artistes to fame, but Ye Fan had never seen her before.
Coincidentally, Zhu Bin had Yang Mi's contact information on his phone. After all, they were both in this industry. How could he not know the other party's background?
Yang Mi had just finished filming when her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Director Zhu Bin, so she immediately picked it up.
"Hello, Director Zhu!"
"Yang Mi, do you know that there's an artist named Ye Fan under your company?”
"Ye Fan? I've never heard of it!"
She didn't know why Zhu Bin was looking for her. It seemed urgent, so she quickly called her assistant.
"Even you don't know him? It's like this. I have a movie here that was originally accepted by Deng Lun's company. He had an accident and couldn't shoot it. When I was looking for a substitute, I found Ye Fan, an artist under your company!”
Zhu Bin briefly explained the process, and Yang Mi immediately understood.
He actually wanted to use an unknown actor, Ye Fan, who had never been popular before. This was like a pie falling from the sky onto their company.
"Let's not talk too much. I want to look for Ye Fan to film. I need your cooperation during the publicity. Is that okay?”
"Director Zhu, of course, there's no problem. I'll go back immediately!”
Xiangmi's drama was a large-scale historical IP. The novel itself had a bunch of diehard fans. It was a drama that had its own popularity. She actually didn't know that there was such an artiste in her company.
"Sister Mi, I found out about Ye Fan. He's indeed an artiste from our company. It's just that he was signed by our subsidiary company and has never been valued!”
The assistant called the company and told Yang Mi immediately after checking.
"This is your fault. Director Zhu wants him to be the male lead. This is really lucky. The female lead is Yang Zi. Her acting skills are very good. At least she doesn't lose to me!”
Yang Mi knew that this drama was going to be popular. Ye Fan was definitely going to be popular. For their company, it was a rare opportunity for an artiste to become popular.
Sometimes, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the director to take a fancy to her.
After communicating for a while, Zhu Bin called the investors and told them that he had found an actor with extraordinary acting skills. He was from Yang Mi's studio.
In the past few years, Yang Mi had been doing well. It could be said that everyone in the film and television industry knew about her.
It was very risky to change actors on the spot at this time. If the investors withdrew their funds, the film would not be able to be filmed.
There were many young faces in this drama, including Deng Lun.
Under Zhu Bin's strong recommendation, the investor finally agreed and decided to use Ye Fan as the male lead.
If it weren't for Zhu Bin's identity as a famous director, the investors would definitely not agree.
"Ye Fan, come here. I've already contacted your company and decided to sign a new contract. Since Deng Lun's injured doctor said that he can't film for half a year, I've communicated with the investors and decided to use you as Xufeng!”
"I wonder if you have the confidence?"
"Reporting to the director, I will definitely do my best to shoot this movie well!”
Ye Fan did not expect that after activating the system, he would be so lucky to meet such a director.
The male lead's scenes were probably the envy of the rest of the crew.
Zhu Bin was very satisfied when he saw Ye Fan's firm gaze. He had fought for this movie. He had never used an extra as the main lead. He had a strong feeling that this movie would be popular.
"Congratulations, Ye Fan. The director has taken a fancy to you. Your acting skills are really good, so you naturally didn't act for the sake of acting!”
Yang Zi had been a child star since she was young. Although she was not a director, she had worked with so many actors. It was easy to tell if she had any acting skills.
"Thank you, Yang Zi. I hope we can work together happily and shoot the show well!”
Even though the director had given him the role of the male lead, Ye Fan didn't dare to be proud. It was all luck. If Deng Lun wasn't injured, he wouldn't have had a chance.
