Chapter 92 The Tian Xiwei Signing Plan
With the planning and production handled by this group from Candy Culture, Tanglou felt quite reassured.
The first episode of "Roast Conference" is basically fine. Moreover, thanks to Tanglou's management, the guest lineup has obviously improved a lot, and the topicality and appeal are at their peak.
During the filming of the program, Coolcat also began related pre-production promotion and marketing.
Today, Tang Lou has become a truly powerful figure, able to directly decide on the promotional resources for programs. For a pioneering program like "Roast," which can revive a completely new industry, of course, it needs to use the best resources.
Thanks to the influence of Yang Chaoyue, Zhang Yuqi, Zhou Jie, and others, the show has already gained considerable popularity.
Coolcat's strong performance during this period has also filled the audience with anticipation.
Basically, any program on the market that is produced by KuMiao is considered a high-quality program!
The platform image that Tanglou has painstakingly built has gradually been established!
Tang Lou was very pleased with this phenomenon.
"Roast" has been progressing smoothly, so Tanglou is now preparing to launch the second major drama of the Mist Theater, "The Silent Truth".
The original novel of "The Silent Truth" is "The Long Night Is Hard to Illuminate," which Zijin Chen had just finished writing and had not yet published.
According to the previous agreement between Tang Lou and Zi Jinchen, Tang Lou had priority in the future novel. Therefore, after Tang Lou obtained this newly published novel, he began to assemble a screenwriting team around Zi Jinchen.
Tang Lou naturally has no worries about adapting the novel.
The next step is to choose the director and actors.
Tang Lou still used Xin Shuang, the director who had just finished filming "The Hidden Corner". He cherished and was very grateful for the role of director for this drama.
According to Tang Lou's plan, as long as I follow Tang Lou and work together to create the Mist Theater, he might actually leave a legend in the online drama industry and become a top director of suspense online dramas!
Having gone through the experience of "The Hidden Corner," Xin Shuang has become much more confident and mature. Now that he's directing again, he has a wealth of experience and insights.
The male lead in this drama is still Qin Hao, which has given Xin Shuang a lot of confidence. His collaboration with Qin Hao is still very pleasant.
Qin Hao has just reaped the benefits of the Mist Theater, achieving explosive popularity through "The Hidden Corner," and is naturally looking forward to his second high-quality suspense short drama.
He had also read Zi Jinchen's latest script, and after reading it, he became even more determined to take on the lead role.
It has to be said that Tang Lou's vision and taste are really good. In Qin Hao's opinion, this "The Silent Truth" is no worse than "The Hidden Corner", and even has more depth!
After confirming Xin Shuang and Qin Hao, Tang Lou began to personally negotiate with the remaining two actors.
One of them is Liao Fan. This actor is also very distinctive. He has outstanding acting skills and a rugged appearance, which makes him very suitable for this kind of suspense drama.
Liao Fan is a veteran actor who has honed his skills in theater for many years and is a truly good actor.
Liao Fan has always been known for his tough-guy image and profound acting skills. He won the Best Actor award at the Berlin International Film Festival for his role in "Black Coal, Thin Ice," becoming the first Chinese actor to win the Berlin Film Festival's Best Actor award.
He graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and later became an actor at the National Theatre of China. This is also related to his artistic family background. His father is a national first-class actor, and he grew up in the troupe, where he was influenced by his family from an early age.
The reason Liao Fan was persuaded to participate in the web series was because of the phenomenal success of "The Hidden Corner," which made Liao Fan see the potential and influence of web series.
The fact that she is working with a talented actor like Qin Hao also fills Liao Fan with anticipation.
Qin Hao was also very happy and excited to be able to act with a veteran actor like Liao Fan, and he felt even more admiration and respect for Tang Lou.
The lead actors in a drama series basically determine its soul!
With the two male leads confirmed, the next step is to cast Tan Zhuo.
Tan Zhuo is also a very good actress. Although she is not very famous and does not appear in public often, people can basically recognize her face and think, "Oh, it's her!"
Tan Zhuo is the kind of actress who can transform into any role. She debuted in the film "Spring Fever" directed by Lou Ye.
The film was also selected for the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for Best Actress.
It can be said that Tan Zhuo and Qin Hao are very similar actors; both have excellent acting skills, but are not very well-known.
In 2011, Tan Zhuo and Wang Baoqiang collaborated on a masterpiece, "Hello! Mr. Tree," in which Tan Zhuo played Zhang Xiaomei, a deaf-mute girl, in the film that cemented Wang Baoqiang's legendary status.
In the following years, her works were lukewarm at best, and her popularity remained low.
He can be described as an actor with a very high cost-performance ratio.
Tan Zhuo's breakout year came in 2018 with the film "Dying to Survive," where she played the role of Liu Sihui, a single mother, which made her a star.
After that, she starred in "Story of Yanxi Palace", "The Bravest", and "Sheep Without a Shepherd".
Her role in "Sheep Without a Shepherd" once again cemented her reputation as a top actress, earning her nominations for Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards.
In her previous life, she starred in "The Silent Truth" in 2020, which received excellent reviews and her performance in the role was outstanding.
This is also why Tanglou insisted on using her.
Just around this time, "The Chaser," in which Tan Zhu starred, is about to be released, which can be considered as riding on a small wave of popularity.
When they found Tan Zhuo in the Tanglou, Tan Zhuo was very surprised and excited.
To date, Tan Zhuo is still a very minor, unknown actor with no notable works to his name.
Tanglou is already very famous, and is a legendary gold-medal producer.
Being chosen by Tang Lou means having a chance to become a big star, and any actor would be eager to do so.
In addition, Liao Fan and Qin Hao starred in this drama. After learning about the cast and reading the script, Tan Zhuo immediately accepted Tang Lou's invitation.
With this, the director and cast of the web series "The Silent Truth" were all ready.
Next came the selection of supporting roles.
This audition was held at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, which is also Liao Fan's alma mater.
In this audition, one of the roles was Zhang Xiaoqian, a young female reporter. Tang Lou was preparing to sign a very important target.
That's Tian Xiwei, who is currently studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy!
Tian Xiwei is very sweet and has a great image; she also has great potential for future development.
Tang Lou planned to establish a relationship with her through this project collaboration and then sign her to a contract.
After reaching an agreement with Tian Xiwei, Tang Lou also plans to officially establish his own entertainment company, and at that time, he will also transfer Yang Chaoyue's contract.
With Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei on board, and Zhou Jieqiong signed as well, their team would be essentially complete.
Previously, Zhou Jieqiong had some hesitation about joining Tanglou's company, but things are different now, and this is a tremendous opportunity for her.
Signing these young actresses was also because the time was right. Now Tanglou has completely taken control of KuMiao's content production and can launch more variety shows and web dramas.
Moreover, shows like "Go Fighting!" and "Heart Signal" have already become established series, and "Roast" is about to be launched, giving us ample opportunity to manage our own artists.
