Chapter 159: I'm going to play the Eight Roads
CCTV, no matter when, CCTV is a father, especially in these years, satellite TV in various places has not yet risen, and CCTV is a dominant company in all fields. TV series are produced every year, from the previous modern themes such as "Wasted Years" and "Beijingers in New York", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin" four famous series, as well as TV series such as "Holding Hands" and "Snow Without a Trace" in the past two years, which are second to none in terms of quality, influence, and ratings.
He Xin couldn't wait to take over the script in Sister Hong's hand, and the name on the cover was "There is No End of the World".
Look, this name looks very literary and lofty!
The director: Yang Yang is printed next to the title of the play, and the screenwriter is as many as five people.
Then the next line of small print: CCTV TV Drama Production Center.
Li Xiaoran, who had just sat down to read the script, heard He Xin shouting out CCTV's drama, and immediately jumped up from the sofa, snatched the script from He Xinju's hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”
When she saw the content on the cover clearly, she immediately widened her eyes and said, "Wow, it's really CCTV's drama!"
Then he immediately said to Chang Jihong with a flattering face: "Sister Hong, is there a role suitable for me here?"
"No, this is a man's play! Even if there are a few female characters in it, there are not many scenes, and they are all Japanese, Director Yang is going to invite Japanese actors to play. ”
Li Xiaoran was disappointed and immediately asked: "So it's still a Sino-Japanese co-production?"
"It's not a co-production, it's just a Japanese actor, listen to Director Yang's meaning, many scenes have to be filmed in Japan. ”
Li Xiaoran's heart itched even more when she heard this, she took Chang Jihong's hand, pouted and said coquettishly: "Sister Hong, don't you always be so partial! When will you help me take over a CCTV play?"
Sister Hong glanced at the sisters, and said quietly: "You, when are you as motivated as Xiaohe and come back with a movie queen, I will definitely help you pick it up." ”
"Huh, Sister Hong......"
He Xin didn't care what the two women were talking about, he snatched back his script from Li Xiaoran's hand and eagerly opened it to read it.
"There is no end in the world", the name seems to be very literary, but the content of the outline is very cruel, this is a true story about the end of World War II, a group of Chinese prisoners of war and laborers who were captured and sent to Kurazu Island in Japan for military base construction were humiliated and rose up to defend their dignity.
It's clear that this is a TV series with a main theme.
Fortunately, the subject matter is very novel, unlike later generations, as long as this period of history is involved, it is full of various anti-Japanese dramas.
After a cursory look at the outline, I turned to the first page of the text.
Present tense:
In 2002, Beijing.
Sayuri Aoyama, a Japanese girl who shoots DV for a career, inadvertently breaks into a courtyard house......
The script is divided into two parts: present tense and past tense, Sayuri Aoyama met Xiao Yi, a young Chinese man, because he accidentally broke into a courtyard house, and then Xiao Yi's grandfather Xiao Hansheng recalled the story 60 years ago, which was extremely strange and cruel to young people today.
Sayuri listened to the true story that happened on Kurazu Island, and she was deeply touched and intrigued. So together with Xiao Yi, in order to fulfill the wish of Xiao Hansheng, who was terminally ill and blind, he decided to go to Japan to find buried evidence.
It is clear that the past tense constitutes the main content of this drama, and the present tense is only interspersed with periods, reflecting the concealment of history by modern ******, as well as the pain and repentance of the past of the Japanese who lived through that era.
In the past, the Chinese prisoners of war and laborers who were enslaved on Cangjin Island were divided into Kuomintang prisoners of war led by Zhou Shangwen, prisoners of war of the Eighth Route Army led by Xiao Hansheng, and ordinary laborers centered on Liu Jiazheng.
The content of the script does not have the strong didactic flavor in the film and television dramas of the Anti-Japanese War in the past, nor does it have the exaggerated plot of the anti-Japanese dramas of later generations, only Lao Tzu is Wei Zhengguang, invincible in the world, and the rest are stupid and scum.
The characters in it, whether it is the Japanese army, the Kuomintang and the Eighth Route Army, are injected with rich emotional expressions, which are relatively objective and real.
He Xin saw it at a glance, Li Xiaoran and Sister Hong were chattering in the room, and they couldn't interfere with him at all, until Li Xiaoran came over and kicked him, shouting, "Hey, don't work hard, eat." ”
Only then did he raise his head, and he saw the little girl at the front desk walking in with a big bag, which was full of packing boxes.
The lunch box is placed on the coffee table in the center of the sofa, and the lids are opened, and the fragrance is fragrant, including braised pork ribs, steamed fish, fried soybean sprouts with fried tofu, cauliflower and pork slices, and a box full of dumplings.
"Brother Xin, this is yours. The little sister in front handed him the last lunch box.
"What's delicious?" Li Xiaoran leaned over curiously.
When I opened it, it was full of green, and I immediately said with disgust: "Oh!
Sister Hong said casually while dividing the chopsticks: "You haven't seen him half a month ago, the whole person is a whole circle fatter than now, and he has to lose at least ten pounds now." ”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, he immediately trembled, patted He Xin's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Young man, you are really hard enough!"
Sister Hong glanced at her, and then made up the knife: "Otherwise, how can people win the actor and get the script of CCTV?"
"Uh......"
The white glowing sisters retreated in an instant, sat down and stuffed a piece of ribs into their mouths without saying a word.
Sister Hong saw He Xin holding a pot of vegetable salad, like a sheep eating grass, she felt a little unbearable, and moved the plate of steamed fish that Li Xiaoran was poking chopsticks in front of him, and said, "You can also eat some fish, it's okay to eat some fish, increase some nutrition." ”
"It's fine!"
He shook his head, losing weight is an extremely exercise of people's will, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop if he moved his chopsticks, so he pushed the lunch box in front of Li Xiaoran, who was pouting and dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao Ran, you eat." ”
Anyway, this sister is playing games all day long, life is irregular, lazy, doesn't like sports, and can eat, but her figure is still very good, which is really a magical thing.
"How is the script?" asked Sister Hong while eating dumplings.
He Xin swallowed the cabbage leaves that he had chewed in his mouth for a long time and had no taste, and said, "Very good!"
As the leading platform in China, CCTV naturally has its own compulsion. For example, in this play, there are as many as five screenwriters, and all of them are famous screenwriters in China.
In fact, it's better now, if it was put aside more than ten years ago, when the four famous novels would be filmed, the power of the whole country was often used to make a TV series, and the actors and behind the scenes were all selected from all over the country. And they don't talk about money, being picked by CCTV is a great honor in the first place.
When filming "Three Kingdoms", there was an actor named Hong Universe who was known as the "national hero Hong Universe" by the local people because he was selected to play the role of Zhou Yu.
Of course, He Xin is also very willing to take this drama, except for being on CCTV, not to mention improving his personal style, this script also really attracted him.
"So which role do you want to play?"
Sister Hong didn't wait for him to answer, and added: "Yang Yang is the director of this play, but she is not alone in the role, there are all kinds of factors, you think about it, I'll talk to her again." ”
He Xin nodded, but still said without hesitation: "I think of Xiao Hansheng when I was young." ”
As a company commander of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of our party and the only survivor of Cangjin Island, Xiao Hansheng is naturally the first actor in this play.
He originally thought that this was a smooth thing, but since he entered the industry, he has never played any role other than the male lead, even if it is "Jade Guanyin", it is also a play with two male leads.
Sister Hong hesitated, she had obviously read the script a long time ago, and muttered: "I listen to Director Yang, it seems that Xiao Hansheng and Xiao Yi when they were young wanted to find the same actor to play, but Xiao Yi can speak fluent Japanese, you see ......"
This situation was something he didn't expect, but he hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "No problem, I can learn!"
Although the start date of this drama has not yet been finalized, it will definitely start in the second half of the year. Sister Hong said suspiciously.
She thought about it, and said with a sad face: "Actually, at first, I thought the role of Zhou Shangwen was quite suitable for you, although Director Yang didn't say it, but I think she probably came to you for the role of Zhou Shangwen." ”
"Then you still let me choose?" He Xin put down the lunch box in his hand and said depressedly.
"Isn't there a role for Liu Jiazheng, what if you fall in love with this?" Sister Hong rolled her eyes, but fortunately the sentence "You have a unique taste!" finally didn't say it.
However, as an agent, she still thought about it a little and said: "Then you go to Shanghai later, and I'll help you make an appointment with Director Yang when you go back, and find a way to fight for it." But you have to make sure you learn Japanese well!"
He Xin wanted to go to Shanghai in advance, mainly to visit his girlfriend, the role is important at the moment, and it is also a CCTV drama, there is nothing to consider, so he nodded directly and said: "Okay!"
As for learning Japanese, he muttered: "I thought of asking the crew to help me find a personal trainer in Shanghai, and there are Japanese actors in the crew, so I will communicate with them more at that time, and with this environment, I think it should be no problem." ”
"You can be sure, or I won't be able to explain it then. ”
After Sister Hong finished speaking, she picked up the chopsticks and prepared to continue eating, but at this time, she looked at the coffee table, and the steamed fish had the head and tail left, the pork ribs disc, and the big box of dumplings left.
Looking to the side, the one who had just put down the chopsticks was wiping her oily mouth with a napkin!
"I said Grandma, how can you eat so much?" Sister Hong took a pair of chopsticks in the air, angry and funny.
"You called in a hurry in the morning, I got up from the bed and came over, and I didn't eat breakfast......" Li Xiaoran was not heartless at this time, until she saw the chopsticks in Sister Hong's hand, she realized it, and hurriedly apologized: "Sister Hong, I'm really sorry, I forgot that you haven't eaten yet?" I'll ask my little sister to help you get something more." ”
As he spoke, he put on his sandals and was about to get up.
"Forget it, forget it. ”
Sister Hong waved the chopsticks in her hand and said with a wry smile: "Finally, you still have three dumplings left, you can barely pad it, just lose weight!"
