Salala Restaurant, Jiangming Road.

This is a very famous restaurant. Shengqi Entertainment has reserved a seat here for Jia Haochen and Deng Huiling to have a one-on-one chat.

Since the past few years, the proportion of women among directors, producers, and program teams of many domestic TV programs has increased.

After all, the audience for TV programs is still dominated by women.

Women know better what women like to see.

The Internet joked that the entertainment industry has entered the era of male sex.

Senior executives of major entertainment companies have gradually discovered that when they invite dinner parties and discuss cooperation on TV programs, many of them are female directors and producers.

Having male celebrities from the company as companions has a higher success rate than female celebrities.

Jia Haochen debuted in the inx boy group and has worked with many TV show directors and producers. It can be said that he is very familiar with them.

…

Half past six in the evening.

Deng Huiling wore a black evening dress and came to Salala Restaurant.

When Jia Haochen saw the video coming, he immediately stood up and went to greet him. He pulled out the chair very gentlemanly and asked Deng Huiling to sit down.

After sitting down.

Jia Haochen handed over the thick menu and said, "I heard that Teacher Huiling is working out and has strict diet control, so I ordered some low-calorie dishes for you. What else do you want to eat?"

Didn't wait long.

The waiter started to serve the food.

Jia Haochen knew very well and ordered low-calorie food for Deng Huiling.

Deng Huiling looked at the fruit salad in front of her and said with a smile: "In order to be closer to the role of the mother in the new drama, I actually did not deliberately control my diet during this period."

According to the script setting of "Nowhere to Hide".

The role that Tang Huiling will play is a single mother who raises her son independently.

Having to work and take care of his son at the same time, the image of this role is definitely not glamorous.

Tang Huiling made this drama not just for ratings, but also to win awards.

Then, some details of the character's image must be grasped very accurately.

This drama is not an idol drama, but something close to reality.

Therefore, Deng Huiling began to make some adjustments for the role, and a slight weight gain was necessary.

However, the character setting does not strictly limit the appearance, so she does not have to gain much weight. She can eat naturally and make some adjustments.

When Jia Haochen heard what she said, he knew that he didn't get points for ordering this time.

However, he immediately pushed the steak in front of him and said, "Then Teacher Huiling will eat my wagyu beef, medium rare, and the black pepper sauce that goes with it, it will definitely suit the taste."

"No, I also like fruit salad."

Deng Huiling raised her hand to call the waiter and said, "Is your chef Jack still on duty? Make me some pasta, thank you."

Jia Haochen knew it was not a smooth start this time.

However, he was not worried, showed a gentle smile, and got to the point: "Teacher Huiling, I stayed up late the day before yesterday to read the script. I like this script so much.

"I think the single mother in the play can only be played by teacher Hui Ling."

This sentence is too obvious a compliment, but it just sounds right.

Even though Tang Huiling knew it was a compliment, she was still very happy and asked with a smile: "Are you sure you want to take on this drama?"

Jia Haochen nodded vigorously: "I'm sure, I love this script so much. I want to act in it, and I can do anything you ask me to do."

Deng Huiling put down her fork and reminded: "The role of the male protagonist in this drama is much less than that of the female protagonist, so you have to think carefully."

The script of "Nowhere to Hide", as can be seen from the title, is about a single mother "Wang Antong" who was subjected to online violence. She and her son were unable to escape the harassment from the Internet no matter how they hid.

Therefore, the main scenes are all on Deng Huiling, and the male protagonist's scenes are relatively less.

Jia Haochen replied decisively: "It doesn't matter, I am willing to be Teacher Huiling's green leaf."

Deng Huiling frowned and said: "The male protagonist is set to be an elite lawyer, preferably forty years old, and looks mature and stable."

The legal profession is very professional.

A lawyer who graduates from college, goes to graduate school, studies for a Ph.D., or even goes abroad to study, then joins a law firm as an intern, and works his way up to a law firm partner, is basically forty years old or older.

This is also the reason why Tang Huiling wanted to find Wu Zhikang and Xu Zhiwen to play the role.

Both actors have mature and stable images, and their acting skills are at the level of a TV star. They will definitely have no problem portraying this role.

certainly.

The script of this drama is obviously designed to highlight the heroine, a single mother.

The male protagonist is basically a tool man.

If given the choice, Wu Zhikang and Xu Zhiwen would rather play men's roles.

Of course, these are all negotiable.

Regarding this issue, Shengqi Entertainment had already discussed it during the meeting.

Jia Haochen said confidently: "Teacher Huiling, the script has not been finalized yet. Can I make some suggestions?"

"Say." Deng Huiling was a little curious about what the suggestion was.

When the screenwriting team discusses the script, they can share any ideas and eventually polish the script.

Jia Haochen recounted what the brokerage team discussed:

"I think the script is great, but there is a problem.

"The hero's identity is the partner of a senior lawyer and an elite lawyer.

“A lawyer of this level must earn a very high income from taking cases, tens or even millions.

“Even if it’s just legal consultation, the consultation fee is very high.

"'Wang Antong' is a single mother who has to work and take care of her son at the same time, so her economic conditions are definitely not very good.

"That is to say, under normal circumstances, 'Wang Antong' cannot afford to hire an elite lawyer.

“In the script, a series of chance encounters and misunderstandings are used to get the single mother and the elite lawyer to get to know each other, and then take on the case.

"I think this plot is too idealistic.

"If the male protagonist is changed to a young lawyer who has just joined the profession, and meets 'Wang Antong' when he is handing out business cards on the street, then it will be more natural and down-to-earth for the two of them to get to know each other."

After listening to it, Deng Huiling felt that what he said was very good.

In fact.

The screenwriting team of Tianji Film and Television has already been discussing this issue. The latest version of the script that is being revised is indeed revised in this direction, but it has not yet been finalized.

Talking about the script in such detail shows that he read the script seriously.

Deng Huiling had a much better impression of this top actor and continued to discuss scripts with him.

Jia Haochen continued to express his thoughts: "I think this way, I can play a young lawyer who has been in the industry for two or three years and works in an ordinary law firm.

"The heroine took her business card to the law firm for free consultation. The senior lawyer of the law firm felt that the case was not very profitable and did not want to take it.

“The hero didn’t want to waste his energy on this case at first, but he still gave the heroine some legal advice.

"After that, we will arrange some plots. The male protagonist sees the female protagonist, a single mother, being bullied online, and finally steps forward to take over the case."

Deng Huiling nodded slowly and said, "You read the script very seriously, and you still have your own ideas."

Jia Haochen scratched his head and said modestly: "Actors should read the script carefully."

Deng Huiling asked curiously: "Isn't Shengqi Entertainment trying to help you develop your career on the big screen? Why do you want to take on this drama so much?"

Of course Jia Haochen couldn't say that it was because Song Li and Fang Xing were working together that made him unhappy, so he wanted to find a co-visitor to cooperate with Fang Xing and Song Li in their new drama.

He made a frank expression and replied: "The first is that I like this script, and the second is that I like Teacher Hui Ling. I am actually a fan of Teacher Hui Ling. Moreover, I think this drama will definitely win an award. If I can

Just one nomination would be awesome."

…

Jia Haochen has rich experience in serving meals, so Deng Huiling was very happy with this meal.

Coupled with the replacement of big screen resources, Deng Huiling finally agreed to cooperate with Jia Haochen.

Shengqi Entertainment invested an additional 50 million and joined forces with Tianji Film and Television.

After the male and female protagonists are finalized, the rest of the actors will be easy to find.

A week later, "Nowhere to Hide" officially announced the starring cast and released final makeup photos.

It will be officially launched two days later.

Because the story of "Nowhere to Hide" is related to many hot topics such as online violence, doxxing, and single-parent families.
