The plot design of the drama "Mao Liar" is complex, and there are many characters in it.

Therefore, in addition to script creation, the casting of "Mao Liar" is the top priority after Zuo Le.

Of course, after all, Zuo Le has been writing the script of "Mao Liar" for more than half a year, and he has ideas about the basic role candidates in it, and even many of them have already been grasped.

This time, he wants to build an all-star lineup.

In the past two years, don't look at the amazing drama of mountains and rivers, beat other TV series into a mess, and dominate the field of TV dramas.

But in fact, strictly speaking, many mountain and river dramas are picked by outside artists.

Not to mention, in this year's "Detective Di Renjie", "Mansion Gate", "Baolian Lantern Prequel" and "Latent", the male protagonist and some female protagonists are not mountain and river artists.

And the same is true of the well-received mountain and river dramas such as "Bright Sword", "Breaking through the Guandong", "The Great Dyeing Workshop" and "Divine Doctor Xilaile".

The reason for this is that in addition to the inconsistent image conditions, there were not many male artists who could take on important responsibilities at that time.

Zuo Le would rather let outsiders be the protagonists, and the mountains and rivers artists should play the auxiliary, and he should also give priority to ensuring the quality of the TV series.

Mountains and rivers female artists are blooming, and first-line actresses are coming out in large numbers, while male artists have been lagging behind and are almost in danger of being cut off, which is also one of the important reasons.

Fortunately, now Shanhe has reacted in time, and is also increasing support for Shanhe male artists.

Shen Teng and Duan Long have begun to hit the front line one after another, effectively supplementing the male stars in the face of mountains and rivers.

Cen Kun, Lei Jiayin, and Guo Jinfei below also performed well, and their basic popularity was solid, and they would take off when they had a suitable opportunity.

And "Mao Liar" is the "opportunity" he took out in Zuo Le's heart.

is different from "Mansion Gate", "Bright Sword" and "Breaking through the East", the level behind "Mao Liar" is not so deep, and the demand for acting skills is relatively not particularly high.

The protagonist group is a group of smart and bottom-line liars, and they are young liars.

In this way, the group of artists of Shanhe is very suitable.

Therefore, Zuo Le plans to let "Mao Liar" use Shanhe as much as possible to use his own people to support newcomers to the throne.

.........

The main characters of "Mao Liar", let's talk about the male Xiaobao first, with a smooth and clever personality, with a little ruffian, and very charming at critical moments.

Zuo Le prefers to find a handsome guy to play, such as the mountain and river artist Cen Kun.

Cen Kun's image is absolutely passable, cool and handsome and deep is no problem, but Zuo Le suspects that his acting skills may not be able to hold up.

Xiaobao is the core character of "Mao Liar", the first male lead, almost all important plots have the participation of this character, and whether the selection of actors is correct or not is directly related to the quality of the entire TV series.

Before Cen Kun, except for Yuan Hua and a few other characters in "Charlotte's Troubles", there are not many masterpieces that can really be used.

He himself is more inclined to the popular fan route, and he does not really come up with a performance that can impress Zuo Le and make him the male lead in "Mao Liar" as an actor.

In contrast, the other candidate in Zuo Le's heart is much more reliable.

Guo Jinfei, although he has not played the lead as the male protagonist alone, but as an excellent drama actor, his acting ability has always been recognized by the internal and external audiences of Shanhe.

In addition, he has participated in many supporting roles in mountain and river dramas, and in the past few years, his popularity is not lacking, although it is not as good as Cen Kun, but it is not too bad.

The only disadvantage is that Guo Jinfei's image is much inferior to Cen Kun.

Zuo Le wants to find a top handsome guy to play Shao Zhuang, Xiaobao, as an existence with the same name as him, is not strong in appearance, and he is afraid that he will be robbed of the limelight.

Of course, Guo Jinfei's appearance is not bad, but he is not so handsome, Zuo Le is now entangled between Cen Kun and him, who to choose to play Xiaobao.

But no matter who is chosen, Xiaobao's candidate is basically decided in these two people, the winner is the male one, and the loser is estimated to have a supporting role, such as the leader of the fox organization, or the "victim" of a certain case of the protagonist group.

After Xiaobao, it is the second male Shao Zhuang, and he is also the most brilliant character in the drama "Mao Liar" that Zuo Le privately thinks.

Persistent personality, detached from general interests, for a promise, from the tomb robbers, a person for many years of layout, forced to play the five major companies in applause.

IQ, EQ, memory, psychological quality and layout means can be called the top, as well as extraordinary cultivation and culture, all kinds of allusions and secrets are at hand, it is the team's living dictionary,

That is, Xiaobao, the growth protagonist, is strong when he is strong, and in the end, he is stunned and Shao Zhuang is half a catty, chess opponents, and ordinary people, even if he has the halo of the protagonist, he has to be pressed down.

In addition, its "Yonghe", which is closely related to the main line of the plot, has been operated by various immortals, which is more open than hanging.

Even in Zuo Le's opinion, this character, nicknamed "Shao Banxian", is not an exaggeration to evaluate it with the word "perfect".

To be honest, when Zuo Le was picking up the script of "Mao Liar", he wanted to play this role himself more than once, but in the end he held back.

From a commercial point of view, such a brilliant role, and then finding a top handsome guy to play it, is more conducive to the TV series to attract traffic out of the circle.

From the creative level, if the "perfect" Shao Zhuang is a handsome guy, it is easier to attract fans and conform to the characteristics of the character, on the contrary, it is easy to cause character flaws.

Zuo Le felt that his appearance must be resistant, but there was still a little bit of a gap between him and the top handsome guys.

Adhering to strict standards, Zuo Le reluctantly gave up the opportunity to appear in person, and prepared to find Gu Xiaoge to star.

In the hearts of Zuo Le and even other directors of Shanhe, where there is a handsome guy in Shanhe drama, the first choice is always Gu Xiaoge, and then other actors.

At present, although Gu Xiaoge is separated from Shanhe, his studio Shanhe still has shares, and everyone is still his own person, not to mention that Zuo Le himself has a very good personal relationship with him.

It is rare to have such a brilliant and suitable role for Gu Xiaoge, Zuo Le has no reason to hand it over to others.........

Speaking of which, although Gu Xiaoge, as the first brother of the former mountains and rivers, has also participated in many mountain and river works, he has never been the first male lead.

Several of his most representative roles, the young master Dugu Xiao, the leader of the Demon Sect in "Seven Swords", Zhu Chuanwu in "Breaking through the Guandong", and the third child of the Ji family in the movie "Wulin Gaiden", are all second males, and this time Shao Zhuang in "Mao Liar" is still the second male.

is a top player in the entertainment industry, and the first brother of the former company turned out to be the second male in 10,000 years, which has a little bit of magical realism.

There are many rumors in the outside world that Gu Xiaoge left the mountains and rivers to set up a personal studio because Zuo Le deliberately suppressed him.

This is definitely nonsense, but it does show that Gu Xiaoge's treatment in Shanhe is not very fair in the eyes of outsiders.

This time, Zuo Le gave Gu the most outstanding role in "Mao Liar", and there was also a little compensatory nature in it.

After the first male and the second male, there is the third male Xing Dongdong, an iron straight man and a rough man thief, with a reckless personality, and a lot of funny and unlucky nature.

Zuo Le almost didn't think much about it, so he set this role as the company's golden supporting role Jiang Chao.

He is also the one with the most consistent comprehensive index among the mountain and river artists, that is, his image is a little fatter, but no one stipulates that fat people can't be thieves.

As for Li Wei, the technical master of the protagonist group, Zuo Le is personally very inclined to let Yu Entai play it, but with his coffee position, the role of Li Wei is a bit inconsistent with him.

Zuo Le couldn't be sure whether Yu Entai would agree to act, so he made two preparations.

Yu Entai can promise the best, if not, let Yuan Ye come.

Yuan Ye is the actor who played the male protagonist of "Seven Swords" Hong Miao before, this popularity is not low, and his acting skills are also good, but he doesn't like to dangle around the film and television circle, and his career focuses on drama.

In his own words, he can't look down on these bad scripts and irresponsible production attitudes outside.

Zuo Le is one of the few people who can easily invite him out of the mountain, no matter how big or small the role is, as long as the book is good, Yuan Ye is willing to sell face.

is such a good actor, Shanhe has the intention to sign him into his banner, but unfortunately Yuan Ye is more inclined to free development and politely declined Zuo Le's invitation.

However, this did not affect the personal relationship between the two parties, and sometimes for the right role, Zuo Le would often think of Yuan Ye.

Xiaobao, Shao Zhuang, Xing Dongdong, Li Wei, the male characters of the protagonist group are all counted.

If you have to count it again, you have to add "Brother Bao".

"Mao Liar" has two open characters, one is Shao Zhuang, who is as wise as a demon, and the other is the omnipotent Brother Bao.

The role of Brother Bao is very interesting, he is an excellent foreign aid belonging to the protagonist group, he never makes a mistake in assisting, he is very funny, especially magical, and he is the soul of the play.

When Zuo Le first saw the role of Brother Bao, the first thing that came to mind was the second uncle.

In his opinion, no one is more suitable to play such a magical role than the second uncle.

Of course, the second uncle is old, and Brother Bao is a bit inconsistent with the image of an actor, so Zuo Le changed to Bao Ye.

The background setting is Xiaobao's elder.,It's an old oilman in the rivers and lakes.,Occasionally come out and be rescued by Xiaobao.,Cooperate happily with the protagonist group.,And then often cooperate.。

Do things quickly, leave after doing the money, extremely chic, and the golden sentences are constantly operated, which makes people shout from the bottom of their hearts - Bao Ye is awesome!

The protagonist group + Brother Bao, decent male starring Qi Huo, as for the female characters, Zhao Ning, An Ning, Tian Tian and Yao Shutong in the later stage.

Zhao Ning said earlier, there are not many scenes, Zuo Le is willing to let Wan Qian play, her intellectual image and temperament are more in line with the liar's head and the positioning of a life mentor who hone Xiaobao's growth.

As for An Ning, there is no special character setting, as long as it is beautiful and smart, it is very consistent.

If nothing else, it is almost the first sister of the company who is now playing Shui Miaomiao, unless Qishui is unwilling.

But in today's entertainment industry, there are a few artists who mix in the field of TV dramas, and they are willing to refuse the female number one of Zuo Le's new dramas, let alone the artists inside Shanhe.

As for the role of Tian Tian, he was the leader of the fox organization at first, and later developed feelings with Xing Dongdong, abandoned the darkness and joined the protagonist group.

There is no special image setting, but Zuo Le hopes that the actor who plays her is more petite and soft, and it can also be distinguished from the cold and glamorous Anning.

Zuo Le thought about it for a while, and planned to let Mao Tong act, which could be regarded as indirectly adding more popularity to her and praising her position.

And Yao Meng, who avenges his father and cooperates with the protagonist group, whether it is Song Jia or Zhang Jiajia.

Zuo Le means that one of the two plays Yao Shutong, and the other plays a blind girl who has emotional entanglements with Xiaobao, and the roles of the two sides are not much different, and they are both supporting roles.

At that time, if Song Jia and Zhang Jiajia are unwilling to play supporting roles as first-line actresses, or can't spare time, Zuo Le can also go outside to pick two female artists.

Now it's just a casting intention, after all, it is a supporting role, and it is not necessary to use first-line actresses to play it during filming, otherwise the lineup of "Mao Liar" will be too spectacular, and it can even be called luxury.

.........

Decent characters are almost listed, and there is no need to list some other supporting roles and unit-based characters.

Let's talk about the main villains of "Mao Liar".

The main characters of the villain are still dominated by the fox organization and the five major companies in the main plot, and most of the characters in the unit nature should be dominated by celebrity cameos.

The reason why "Mao Liar" has such a high rating is that the excellent high-IQ villain is an important reason, and the protagonist group has to rack their brains to defeat it, and there is a possibility of being turned over and killed at any time during the period.

The two sides fight wits and courage, and the means are exhausted, and the audience will enjoy watching it.

Geng Xiaohui, the boss of the fox organization, is the boss of a gang of liars who is a college student, and his IQ is not much inferior to Xiaobao.

If it weren't for the fact that the protagonist group was too perverted, and Geng Xiaohuihui's conceited character weaknesses, they would definitely not be able to fight this fox boss with almost terrifying thinking ability and powerful power.

This role is played by Zhang Ze.

In fact, Zuo Le wanted Duan Long to play it, but Duan Long's temperament was too mature and cold, and he had no problem with the liar boss, but he couldn't play Geng Xiaohui's disguised identity as a college student.

And although Zhang Ze is also a little old, he is a little silly and dull when he wears glasses, and he looks harmless to humans and animals, which can highlight the disguise and cunning of this character.

Haoran, Geng Xiaohui's henchman and thug, played by Wu Jing, there is nothing to say about this, action stars are old in their careers.

In addition, it also has the meaning of praising Wu Jing's superiority, after all, the two characters of the fox organization Shu Haoran and Bi Chenxi are Geng Xiaohui's right-hand men, and they are also the two who cause the most trouble to the protagonist group.

The second leader of the fox organization, in the early stage, mainly played a foreshadowing role, and when it reached a certain plot, he would be automatically arrested and taken offline, and then the boss Geng Xiaohui would be brought out of the mountain.

After all, the second boss was arrested, the organizers panicked, and the boss came out to preside over the situation, which was logical.

The second leading actor is Fan Min, and with his strength, it is not a problem to play an old and cunning liar at all.

And Bi Chenxi of the fox organization, the second only to Geng Xiaohui's think tank, and the "demon girl" who has brought countless troubles to the protagonist group, is the most difficult female character in the whole play.

Especially in the final scene of Geng Xiaohui's self-sacrifice, the level of emotional fluctuations to be expressed by ordinary actresses cannot be taken at all.

The actress who played Bi Chenxi in the original version of "Mao Liar" did not interpret the essence of this scene very well, and the reason why the effect is not bad is that it is completely a play guarantor.

When Zuo Le shoots by himself, he must be more demanding, so he wants Yin Li to play Bi Chenxi.

After the training of "Latent", Yin Li is the best female artist with the best acting skills in Shanhe, Zuo Le gave her this role, and it is also to further hone and consolidate Yin Li's acting route.

The fox organizes a few main roles to get it, and it is not difficult for the other heads of the five major companies to get it, just find a few old actors who cooperate properly.

The main casting goal of "Mao Liar" is roughly like this, of course, the specific work has to be done step by step.

Zuo Le is not in a hurry, the script of "Mao Liar" is still in the final stage, even if the project starts in September, all kinds of preliminary preparations, and when the film starts, it will not be far from the New Year.

This year, I can't catch up with anything anyway, but it's better to prepare slowly and carefully, and give you a big surprise next year.........
