NOVEL NEXT Chapter 373: Then You've Found the Right Person
After last night's banquet, "My Drag-along Husband" has now entered the preparation phase.
Preparations continued today for "My Drag-along Husband", and by tomorrow, it will specifically start broadcasting.
The newly arrived car had not been registered yet, so Wang Ye asked Su Wanqing to drive him over. After getting out of the car, Wang Ye directly headed to the location of the "My Drag-along Husband" crew.
Wang Ye had just arrived.
The director responsible for this TV drama, Wu Naifu, saw Wang Ye and greeted him, "Boss Wang, over here."
The words of Director Wu Naifu caused the others present to also focus their gaze on Wang Ye, but after taking a look at him, they quickly immersed themselves back into their own tasks.
The morning was not easy, it was a rather busy process. Due to the time lost in gathering people, it was necessary to quickly make up for the lost time afterward.
Wu Naifu approached Wang Ye, and Lang Ren also walked towards Wang Ye; both of their expressions were serious and dismayed.
This immediately made Wang Ye realize there was a problem.
Something had happened.
If nothing had happened, neither Lang Ren nor Wu Naifu would have such expressions on their faces.
"What happened?" Wang Ye asked.
After Wang Ye spoke, Lang Ren extended his hand and pointed towards a makeshift building not far away, because it was set up temporarily for filming, indicating that Wang Ye should go there to talk.
Seeing this, Wang Ye walked to the room with Lang Ren and Wu Naifu.
The temporarily built room was very simple, with only a few beds and stools. Lang Ren and Wu Naifu sat on the beds, and Wang Ye sat on a stool before turning to the two and asked, "What happened, what's the issue?"
You should know, Wang Ye had just managed to gather all the people for the crew, and other matters, like official approvals, had all been issued. The rest were mostly issues that money could solve.
And their crew, honestly speaking, was definitely not short of money!
Lang Ren sighed, his expression was one of desolation, like someone who wanted to create a perfect object and had prepared all the required materials, but suddenly lost one of the key components.
He then said, "Originally, our crew members were all ready, but the key problem happened last night. The male actor from our crew, Wu Lin, got drunk last night. While climbing the stairs, he suddenly rolled down and hit his head on the ground, suffering facial injuries."
After Lang Ren finished speaking, Wu Naifu added, "The TV drama we are shooting requires the male and female leads to meet from the first episode, so tomorrow morning, we must shoot the male lead's scenes. Based on his injuries, it will definitely take some time to recover."
"If we wait for him, it would delay too much time."
Lang Ren sighed, looking quite disheartened, "Although I indeed strive for perfection, waiting for this actor to recover would cost us days. This short period of time represents a financial loss and, moreover, although the other actors are not the main characters, their time is also being wasted because of Wu Lin, and they certainly won't be happy about it."
"The best course of action now is for me to check and find another male lead to replace him, while Wu Lin's pay for today will be issued as usual."
After all, Wu Lin was actually a very responsible person. Although he got injured last night, he still came over this morning to help prepare the sets and clean up.
But his body simply couldn't take it; after a while, he started to feel very unwell, so he had no choice but to leave."
Wang Ye thought for a moment.
Wang Ye could step in to assist with the treatment of Wu Lin's injuries.
However, if it were just bone injuries, it would have been better for Wang Ye as he could have treated them fairly quickly; facial injuries, however, needing recovery in just a few days, posed a difficulty.
Even if Wang Ye intervened, the facial scars would probably still need two to three days to heal.
This would still delay things.
Suddenly, Wang Ye turned his attention to Lang Ren and Wu Naifu and asked them, "What do you think, am I suitable to step in and play this male lead?"
As soon as Wang Ye spoke,
Wu Naifu immediately laughed and said, "Let's not, Boss Wang. Many outsiders think acting is a very simple task that just requires some practice, but in reality, without a natural gift, you really can't make it in this industry."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be said that despite years of effort, their acting skills, like Big Eye's, haven't improved at all, just staring with wide eyes."
Hearing the words "Big Eye" from Wu Naifu, Lang Ren frowned, a look of instinctive displeasure appearing on his face.
It was clear that Lang Ren had no fondness for actors who lacked skill and were unwilling to improve.
"And you, I know, Boss Wang, whether it's anything you involve yourself in, you improve very quickly, but even for you, enhancing acting skills would probably be difficult."
As he spoke, Wu Naifu's face remained smiling, but the words he spoke gave Wang Ye a sense of firm decisiveness.
Wu Naifu's personality, like Lang Ren's, was similar in their meticulousness in selecting actors; they definitely wouldn't mess around with unskilled popular stars like Big Eye.
And Wang Ye, even as a big boss and an investor, was straightforwardly rejected by Wu Naifu, without any fear.
Seeing Wu Naifu's refusal, Wang Ye also smiled and jokingly said to Wu Naifu, "Wow, you actually rejected me straight away at such a time. Aren't you afraid that I might get angry and this director position of yours might not be secure anymore?"
"Boss Wang definitely isn't that kind of person. Just considering how Boss Wang went to all the trouble of bringing everyone Lang Ren asked for here, I know that your love for TV dramas runs deep."
"Then you've really seen the right person."
Following that, Wang Ye's expression became even more serious.
