After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Lin Bao thought for a while and said, "If you give you the role, it's no problem." It can't be the starring role, though. Moreover, it is very likely that because of the needs of the plot character building, coupled with the elements of the background, when the time comes, it may not be like other idol dramas or superhero movies, which will give you highlights or special shots. ”

"Of course no problem!"

Lu Yuan said busily.

"You still go back to this matter, and after discussing it with the people of remote entertainment, I will reply to me! Then I will send you the relevant script and character information, and you will make a decision. ”

Lin Bao looked at him and said.

Like Lu Yuan, when receiving works, he naturally can't decide by himself.

It is necessary to cooperate with the promotion of remote entertainment behind it, and at the same time, it is also necessary to take into account his personal image positioning, which is not something that can be performed in any film and television drama casually.

Even, including what he wants to wear, it needs to be specially considered.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin Bao!"

Lu Yuan also understood this, and then said, "I'll go back and discuss it with the company." Anyway, I really hope to have the opportunity to learn acting from you. ”

"Good. ”

Lin Bao nodded.

......

When Lu Yuan left the music square, Cloud Disc Music Company, Yu Chenghao, the agent and the CEO of Cloud Disk Music were sitting together, discussing whether Yu Chenghao wanted to participate in Lin Bao's movie and play the role of Cheng Dieyi.

There is not much character information provided by Lin Bao's studio, but the main character positioning, basically, Yundie already knows it.

Although, the whole character may be to show the state of drama like life, life like a play, or to write about the half-century friendship between him and another play. This kind of friendship is beyond that vulgar understanding.

However, in the final analysis, when put into the acceptance level of ordinary audiences, this is still a somewhat controversial and controversial character.

For Yun Die, it is natural to hope that Yu Chenghao can participate in Lin Bao's movie, after all, it is a cooperation with the Opera Association and the Tang Dynasty, and the influence will definitely not be small.

However, the role of "Cheng Dieyi" is really a little entangled in the high-level side of Yundie.

Yu Chenghao is the pillar of Yundie, and he is also the little king of the music world, and he will be promoted to the status of a real king in the future.

Although it is said that singers don't particularly care about some screen images, Yu Chenghao is too important to Yun Die, and Yun Die is still unwilling to take this risk.

If this role is controversial, it is bound to have some impact on Yu Chenghao's fans to some extent.

This is something that Yu Chenghao and Yun Die don't want to see.

Therefore, Yun Die's idea is naturally that he would rather not have this opportunity, or change to other roles, rather than take this risk.

However, Yu Chenghao himself, after reading the entire script story and the introduction of the characters, was very interested in this role. Moreover, he himself really wanted to take this opportunity to learn the expressionist way of acting with Lin Bao.

"Cheng Hao, on the company's side, I still consider that this role may have some bad impact on your fan base or personal image. You also know that although you are now standing at a relatively high height in the domestic music scene, you still need more time to accumulate with those singers and queens. ”

The agent continued to try to persuade Yu Chenghao, "You haven't sung for half a year before, and studying performance there is already the biggest grace that the company can give you." However, this time, this role, the company has evaluated, not to mention what the final performance will be, after all, it is not a role that fits your personal image. ”

Yu Chenghao heard him say this, but shook his head: "Brother Li, I think you and Song always have some misunderstanding." This time, it's just a character, and it's no longer the era when "Wish" is played, the image on the screen and the real image can be clearly distinguished from the real image, and it will not be equated. Many of the older generation of actors and predecessors are still acting villains, and in reality, they are still respected.

I know you're taking into account the emotional tendencies of this character. However, after reading the story script introduced to me by Lin Bao, as well as the whole character biography, I felt that this was the charm of this character. He is the real kind of drama like life, the image of a drama demon who can't live if he doesn't go crazy, reality and the characters in the play are inseparable, this is the realm of a real art master. At that time, his personal emotions and the conflict with the whole background were also a characteristic that the whole movie wanted to show, I think that if you really understand it, or even just watch the entire plot, the audience will understand the mood and emotion of the whole character. ”

"Cheng Hao, yes, it is indeed from an artistic point of view, this character can be said to be very good. Personally, I also like to watch movies, especially some art films. I haven't seen the full script of this movie, but through this character, I can see that this is definitely a brilliant character, a typical character. ”

The agent Brother Li looked at him and continued, "However, what the company is considering is the possible influence of public opinion. After all, you're on the rise now......"

"Brother Li, let me say so. ”

Yu Chenghao interrupted him and said, "You are thinking about the negative impact of the whole character on my image, but you can think about it from a positive perspective. First of all, if I can successfully step into the film and television industry with Lin Bao's movie, it will be a big step forward for me and the company. Haven't you always said that if you want to really become a king, you need film and television songs? Moreover, now it seems that at least with the guarantee of Lin Bao, the Opera Association, and Tang Film and Television, this movie, even if it is an art film in the end, cannot create a box office record like "Crazy Stone" last October, but it will definitely not be bad in terms of influence. ”

Yu Chenghao paused, looked at the agent in front of him and the company's general manager Song, and continued: "This is one of them. Second, the company's side has always wanted to be able to cooperate with Lin Bao's side. I think this is an opportunity, through me, I think, in the future, the company's side, there will be more opportunities to cooperate with Lin Bao's studio. Even, including with the Opera Association and Tang Film and Television, there are reasons for cooperation. I don't know much about this, but I think, Brother Li and Mr. Song, the two of you should know the benefits. ”

When the agent saw him say this, he showed a slightly wry smile on his face, and looked at Mr. Song next to him.

Mr. Song smiled and said, "Cheng Hao, you are using yourself as a paving stone to pave the way for the company and other artists in the company." ”

"Don't, Mr. Song, I'm not that noble. ”

Yu Chenghao hurriedly said, "I've actually been thinking about it for a long time. Personally, I really want to develop in the direction of film and television, and now this is a good opportunity in front of me. I think, some time ago, the Beijing Film Academy wanted to find Lin Bao to start a class, but you also heard the news that he was politely refused. Being able to learn acting with Lin Bao, I think, is definitely a very valuable opportunity.

As for the impact of the image you're worried about, I don't think it's a big deal. Even if it's a gamble, if you win the bet, you will take off with Lin Bao's movie. If you lose the bet, it's just a loss of popularity for some fans. ”

In fact, Yu Chenghao said this, and there is no exaggeration.

In the domestic music scene, if there is no Lin Bao, he is the most influential among the young generation.

Definitely promising.

However, Lin Bao's sudden rise is too dazzling.

Moreover, he rose to the name of a music creator and is known as the godfather of music.

Now, he has added the title of a performance master.

Therefore, Yu Chenghao himself, from the perspective of his own development, also wants to be able to get more help from Lin Bao.

He is confident that he will write some good new songs.

But compared to Lin Bao's songs, it pales in comparison.

However, even with their current relationship between brothers and sisters, it is impossible to go directly to Lin Bao and ask him to write a song for him. There's a quid pro quo.

This time, I wanted to go to Lin Bao to ask for advice on expressionism, which can be regarded as a book friend.

And Lin Bao, on the other hand, took the initiative to let himself try this role, which could be regarded as giving him a chance.

This opportunity is naturally something I must grasp.

Hearing him say this, Mr. Song thought about it and nodded: "Okay, since you have thought it out yourself, and the company is also in this regard, there is not much restriction on you, so follow what you said, and after that, sign a contract with Lin Bao." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the agent sitting next to him.

The agent Brother Li also nodded helplessly: "That's okay, Cheng Hao, you wait to ask Lin Bao, when will they have time over there, go and sign the contract." In addition, in terms of the shooting schedule, we will also check with them. You haven't been out for half a year, and then, you can't nest anymore, and the production and promotion of normal music must also be stepped up. ”

"Okay, don't worry, next, I will cooperate with the work of the company. ”

Seeing that the company agreed, Yu Chenghao was also happy.

After all, he signed an artist contract with the company, and if the company didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to participate in Lin Bao's movie.

......

Music Square, in an office building.

Lin Bao received the news from Yu Chenghao and was also happy to learn that Yun Die's side agreed to let him participate in this role.

To be honest, this choice of role, sometimes, really depends on feelings.

Before chatting with Yu Chenghao before, Lin Bao and Zheng Rong almost looked through the photos and information of most of the actors in the entertainment industry, and even went to find some actors from the Opera Association, but they didn't think they were eye-catching, so they almost went directly to the film academy to pick them up.

As a result, Yu Chenghao came to talk to him about expressiveness that day, and his heart suddenly moved.

Because, if such a role can be performed in an expressionist way, it will definitely be very colorful, and even able to be played.

And he looked up at Yu Chenghao, including under the street lamp downstairs, looking at Yu Chenghao's face, body shape, and in his mind, the figure of "Cheng Dieyi" gradually coincided with the latter.

At that moment, Lin Bao felt that he had found "Cheng Dieyi".

After that, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this role was suitable for his senior.

Even, the other party is still a singer who doesn't know how to perform.

However, for Lin Bao, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to act, and even, if he doesn't know how to act, it is even more beneficial for him to help shape the role of "Cheng Dieyi".

After the most important soul role was determined, Lin Bao was also completely relieved in his heart.

As for the entire filming schedule, it still needs to wait for him and the crew to finish the scene before it can be discharged.

On Tuesday, Lin Bao flew directly to Shangjing with Yin Chuan.

When he arrived in Beijing, he went straight to the Opera Association and showed his final script and some related materials to several old gentlemen, and at the same time, he also discussed the filming of the venue with Zhao Tingshan and Tang Xiulan of the Opera Association.

The whole story of "Farewell My Concubine" actually takes place mainly in Shangjing.

Many of the plot locations, when Lin Bao was writing it, were referring to some locations and layouts of the development of the entire old Shangjing City. Of course, there is also the guidance of several old gentlemen who have lived in Beijing for most of their lives in the Opera Association.

First of all, the first confirmed location is Mei Lanfang's former residence in Xicheng.

The story of the film is to show the style of the opera masters of the last century. The Peking Opera section of "Farewell My Concubine" is also a classic section after the three reforms of Mei Shi.

If you put the main scenes in the movie in this, it can be regarded as a tribute.

However, if you want to film at such a location, you need to communicate with a special responsible department.

On the first day, Lin Bao did not entrust the Opera Association to contact him, but he and Yin Chuan wore ordinary clothes, bought a ticket, wore sunglasses and hats, pretended to be an ordinary audience, and went around inside.

The former residence of Mei Shi is a typical Beijing courtyard house, and the whole furnishings are relatively generous.

At that time, the status of opera masters was very respected.

In the opera, several main scenes, the plot of Duan Xiaolou's house, including the plots of the later periods, are very suitable to shoot from here.

Complement each other.

Lin Bao and Yin Chuan walked around the entire former residence of Mei Shi for most of the day, and also took a lot of photos, and held a meeting with the people of the Opera Association to discuss after they returned.

Around this scene, in fact, there have been several times in the movie, and when the time comes, some professional transformation is needed. The layout of these scenes, firstly, needs to communicate with the responsible department of Meishi's former residence, and secondly, it also needs the support and research of some materials.

Lin Bao is a master in directing and setting, but for some of the style and layout of that era, it is not up to his imagination to complete.

After the scenic spot of Mei Shi's former residence was determined, Lin Bao, Yin Chuan, and some other crew members began to choose locations for other plot scenes.

One of the scenes of "going to Gonggong Zhang's Mansion" was set to King Gong's Mansion in Xicheng.

In addition, there are places such as the Summer Palace, the Confucian Temple, and the Noon Gate, and the more landmark buildings, Lin Bao turned them around one by one, and compared them with the scenes in his mind, and there was basically nothing else that could be replaced.

Since you want to shoot, you must use these realistic scenes directly, and you don't need to use those cinemas that imitate proportions.

After determining all the learning points, because these places need to be applied for and reserved, Lin Bao first spent a few days with the crew to set the entire shooting schedule, and then the opera association went to communicate with the relevant responsible departments.

On the side of the Opera Association, after getting the filming permits for all locations, the last actor, the actor of Xiaosi, Lu Yuan of Remote Entertainment, also finally decided to participate in the performance and signed the contract.

At this point, the preparations are basically completed, and we are waiting to choose an auspicious day to hold the opening ceremony.
