Chapter 329

I don't know; I thought I was rejecting Bai Xiao Ling.

"Old Xiang! Old Xiang!" Su Meng shouted a few times before Xiang Zhiming woke up.

Xiang Zhiming looked up at Su Meng, his face full of excitement.

"Director Su! You are truly amazing! This script is simply too good!"

"Now I finally understand why the Broadcasting Administration and CCTV dared to approve it directly after seeing only the story synopsis."

"This script is absolutely god-tier!"

"Although I haven't finished reading it, I can't wait to get started!"

Duan Jiangping also nodded silently, his gaze toward Su Meng completely changed.

This kid actually managed to write such a good script?

Only Qin Jie clutched her chest, her face filled with heartache.

My money...

It was supposed to be split between me and Su Meng, but now CCTV wants to grab the money too?

Only a faint smile appeared on Bai Xiao Ling's face.

Do you really think they decided on something this important just by reading that thousand-character story synopsis?

I won't tell you that someone has already read the script...

"Second Battalion Commander, where the hell is your Italian cannon?!"

In the office of Star Sea Entertainment, Su Meng shouted with his neck stretched out.

His tone carried a bit of urgency, a bit of determination, but also a trace of barely perceptible hesitation.

A resolute and brave soldier image leaped off the page.

"Excellent!"

Xiang Zhiming couldn't help but stand up and shout his approval.

"Director Su, no wonder you wanted to play the role of Li Yunlong yourself; it turns out you grasp this character so well."

Duan Jiangping and Qin Jie exchanged a glance, both looking utterly confused.

Su Meng's acting skills are just too good, right?

You call this a stoic, domineering CEO?

Filming a TV series requires a huge amount of preparation; how could it be that easy?

The group gathered again today, as there were many problems to solve.

The issue of actors is, naturally, the top priority.

Su Meng nodded and explained.

"Of course, my image is definitely not up to standard; I'm too fair and too handsome."

Emmm... the group suddenly felt something was off.

Was he bragging?

Oh no, this actually seems to be the truth.

Su Meng continued speaking.

"However, my makeup technique is quite good; I will design the makeup carefully when the time comes."

Hearing this, Xiang Zhiming's eyes immediately lit up.

"You mean that miraculous face-swapping technique?"

Su Meng's makeup technique is a heaven-defying existence!

"Shining Girls" naturally goes without saying.

Just on the Spring Festival Gala stage, he forcibly transformed himself into an old farmer; what else could that be but the face-swapping technique?

Su Meng nodded, feeling emotional in his heart.

When he first drew the high-level makeup art, he felt a bit of regret, more or less.

But who could have thought that this makeup art would be so heaven-defying?

Combined with the god-level acting skills he specifically purchased last time, the two produced a wonderful chemical reaction.

It can be said that now, Su Meng can basically handle all male roles in film and television.

Hmm... of course, he naturally cannot handle children or roles that require specific body types.

After all, this is just makeup art, not the real Seventy-Two Transformations.

"Alright, the actor for Li Yunlong is confirmed; now for the other few main roles."

"This... I am not very familiar with many veteran actors."

"Director Xiang, do you have any suitable candidates?"

Speaking of this, Su Meng was also a bit embarrassed.

Although his predecessor mixed it up in the entertainment industry, he was in a different circle from the veteran actors.

Moreover, as a traffic idol, he was busy playing domineering CEOs every day, so naturally, he wasn't familiar with them.

Since it hasn't been long since he transmigrated, Su Meng hasn't had time to get to know them yet.

Xiang Zhiming raised his hand and spoke weakly.

"Director Su, um... don't misunderstand; I'm not trying to take your power."

"However, after I finished reading the script last night, I had a few relatively suitable candidates in mind."

"So I found some of their representative film and television clips, originally intending to recommend them to you..."

"If you take a liking to someone, the Yangshi Society will handle the communication with them."

"Of course, whether to use them or not is up to you; I'm just making a suggestion."

Fearing Su Meng might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained again and again.

Su Meng's eyes instantly lit up.

"Great, then let's take a look together in a moment."

What Xiang Zhiming worried about, he didn't worry about in the slightest.

Having someone share the workload made him more than happy.

Besides, with the Yangshi Society extending the invitation, the probability of these veteran actors accepting was even higher.

"Then let's leave it at that for now; we'll see when we take a look."

"The second matter concerns the filming locations; I've listed the requirements, and someone needs to go scout them."

"Director Su..." Xiang Zhiming couldn't help but speak up again.

"The Yangshi Society has people in every region."

"The Station Master has authorized me to provide assistance when necessary."

"How about I have people find a few?"

"Sure, Old Xiang." Su Meng was also somewhat surprised.

"The Yangshi Society is supporting us so much this time; if we don't film it well, we'll truly let everyone down."

Only Duan Duan Jiangping suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Wait, isn't I the producer?

Isn't I the chief steward?

Why does it feel like I've become a mere onlooker now?

"The third matter: I need a huge number of extras!"

Bringing up this issue, Su Meng's face was also serious.

In his past life, the classic status of "Drawing Sword" was beyond question.

If one had to mention a regret, it was that the battle scenes were too small.

After all, the crew at that time was too poor; filming started with only nine million in funding.

They spoke of large-scale operations involving several regiments, yet on the television screen, there were only thirty or fifty people.

This time, Su Meng had no such troubles.

He directly threw one hundred million into it.

With money, was there any fear of failing to film truly realistic battle scenes?

As for whether he could handle such large-scale scenes... did you know about the God-Level Director skill?
