Chapter 1744: Chapter 845: Under the Grand Dress Sequel Meeting_2

"Hm."

"Do you have any thoughts on this newly added role of the young male model?" Zhou Lan asked.

Zhou Yun chuckled and said, "You ask my thoughts, my first response is Yu Zhiyang."

"What a coincidence, me too." Zhou Lan replied, "He Yong also wants Luo Lu to play the role. During the first part, Luo Lu competed with Zhou Jianfeng for the lead male role and was eliminated. He still hasn’t given up."

Luo Lu is a signed actor with Chengqian Entertainment, a very handsome male actor.

Compared to Zhou Jianfeng, he’s not far behind; he just has a slightly cooler temperament, not as tough as Zhou Jianfeng.

Zhou Yun said, "Luo Lu’s image could work too, but it depends on which actress he’s paired with. The two need to have chemistry."

"Yeah, to be frank, I think Luo Lu’s temperament doesn’t suit a brother-sister romance."

"It should be someone like Yu Zhiyang." Zhou Yun said with a smile, "You think Yu Zhiyang is more like a little wolf, don’t you?"

"Of course." Zhou Lan said, "Let me tell you, the more I look at Yu Zhiyang, the more I feel your judgment is spot-on. He’s truly enduring to watch, and the more you look at him, the more intriguing and sexy he becomes. Once he’s ten years older, his masculine allure might just explode."

Initially, Zhou Lan didn’t quite understand why Zhou Yun favored Yu Zhiyang so much.

She couldn’t see any unique charm in Yu Zhiyang at all.

But with time, she began to increasingly appreciate Yu Zhiyang’s silent, melancholic yet profound youthful vibe.

This is very rare.

Zhou Lan has to meet many actors each year, especially young ones.

Many possess a sense of youth, but few have that pure, transparent quality.

In today’s entertainment industry, there are very few truly pure-hearted youths left. It’s not their fault, it’s just the environment. As long as you’re attractive, a lot of temptations will proactively appear around you. Whether you resist them or not, every action you take dilutes your youthful vibe.

It’s an unfortunate reality.

Yu Zhiyang possesses a vulnerability that makes one want to hide away in a corner to heal after being hurt, yet he is silent and sensitive, refusing to openly acknowledge this trait. Thus, he exudes an appealing, profound, and complex melancholy.

After watching some scenes he did with Zhou Yun in "Age," Zhou Lan felt this even more.

Wen Bing had mentioned that while viewing the scenes, Yu Zhiyang has an exceptional camera presence; he looks great no matter how he’s shot.

Most of the time, he doesn’t show much expression, yet his eyes convey so much.

He just gazes at Zhou Yun, and you’re captivated by his eyes.

Zhou Lan said, "Let’s have Yu Zhiyang play the role. He missed the first part, but he won’t miss the sequel."

"He Yong might not agree, and Zhou Jianfeng is still around. He was the lead in the first part and is popular now. Will He Yong let Zhou Jianfeng play a supporting role to Yu Zhiyang?"

"There’s no such thing as supporting or lead roles. This script is meant to be ensemble-focused. If you have to call someone the lead, it’s the female editor character, not a male lead." Zhou Lan said, "Moreover, Zhou Jianfeng doesn’t have a small part either. He has his moments. As long as we stand firm, He Yong won’t disagree."

"Hm."

"Can Cheng Shenlv return to play the second part?" Zhou Yun asked.

Cheng Shenlv is already a rising young star, attracting significant attention. She has begun starring in lead actress roles and may not necessarily want to continue with the sequel.

Zhou Lan said, "We’ve reached out to her agency team. She’s not opposed to it; she was introduced to the audience through this series, though her team wants her role to not be considerably less than the lead actress’s."

Zhou Yun asked, "So, how is it in the script?"

"Cheng Shenlv’s character does indeed have its own storyline, but in terms of absolute screen time, it’s definitely less than the lead actress’s." Zhou Lan said, "I’ve also discussed this matter with her agent, who said she doesn’t insist her role should be larger than the lead actress’s, but they worry if her part is significantly less, it might affect her future role offers. After all, an actress who has already gained popularity and started playing lead roles in other productions now playing a supporting role could impact her market value."
