Chapter 297: Xia Luo and Ma Dongmei
"Charlotte's Troubles" is one of the three movies that Zuo Le got from Goldfinger.
Before, Zuo Le Goldfinger only had one "Wulin Gaiden" movie in the film library, although he felt that Goldfinger would not give him only one movie, but because he didn't know how to start the movie distribution, he made two preparations.
The screenwriting department of Shanhe has written two original movie scripts, and if Goldfinger does not give his hand, Zuo Le, who does not plan to sit still, will immediately use these two original scripts to prepare for the second film of Shanhe.
Fortunately, Zuo Le's cheat player is quite powerful.
The premiere of the movie "Wulin Gaiden" ended, and three new movies appeared on the player at once.
Zuo Le watched these three movies, and compared them with the original scripts of the Shanhe Screenwriting Department, and finally felt that the movies in Goldfinger were better.
Zuo Le picked among three more movies, and finally chose the comedy movie "Charlotte's Troubles", which he is better at.
The plot of the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" is very simple,
The frustrated young Xia Luo, who attended the wedding of her old classmate and crush Ban Hua Qiuya, made a fuss by getting drunk, which made his wife Ma Dongmei mad.
Charlotte rushed to the bathroom, and after venting, fell asleep in the toilet, and woke up back to her teenage school days.
beat the teacher, chased the goddess, and became an omnipotent pop superstar through the copied songs, and then got drunk and dreamed of death, only to find that everyone was using themselves, and the only one who was sincere was the ex-wife Ma Dongmei who he disliked.
Lingering late, Charlotte died a tragic death, only to find that it was all just a dream.
This comedy movie is not entirely funny for the sake of being funny, but it still has a certain connotation in essence and has a strong sense of irony.
Among them, the irony of the male protagonist Charlotte is the strongest.
The original movie almost unabashedly expressed its ridicule and disdain for the male protagonist.
Before the dream, he was an aspiring singer who only knew the dream of being a star, and his life depended on his wife to a certain extent.
Not only did he not understand his wife's hard work, but he also disliked Ma Dongmei who thought about him everywhere.
In the dream, he immediately abandoned Ma Dongmei, who had been with him for several years, and pursued Bai Yueguang Qiuya wholeheartedly.
copied the song to become famous, and was still weak-hearted and beat the original author.
After becoming famous, he was drunk and dreamed of death, and in the end he couldn't plagiarize, and was forced to quit the music scene, everyone around him was separated from him, and his wife cuckolded him.
His private life was chaotic, and he finally contracted AIDS and died alone.
Many original viewers criticized this movie for having three wrong views, but they actually didn't see it thoroughly.
From the very beginning, the director and screenwriter didn't treat Charlotte as a good person, so he ended up in his dream.
It's just that for the sake of the overall atmosphere, a wake-up session was finally arranged, otherwise the ending would be too dark, which was not conducive to the box office, and the overall comedy style was also split.
Therefore, the casting of the male protagonist Charlotte is very important, and what Zuo Le means in his heart is to find an actor with a better audience to dilute the discomfort that the role itself brings to the audience.
In addition, because it is a comedy movie, the actor must also have certain comedy characteristics, Zuo Le thought about it at the beginning, and decided on three candidates.
Two are artists within Sunward Company, Sha Yi and Shen Teng, and one is an artist outside the company, and now the famous Golden Dragon actor Huang Bo.
Needless to say, Sha Yi is an old man with mountains and rivers, his popularity and audience popularity are quite good, and his acting skills are not outstanding, but he is quite talented in comedy, he is the male lead, and he can suppress the company's voice in terms of seniority.
But later Sha Yi left, Zuo Le's mind faded, not because he had a bad heart, but mainly because he wanted to support the newcomer to the top.
In addition, the last time he made a movie, Zuo Le found that Sha Yi was now used to acting with the shadow of Bai Zhantang.
This situation is the second time that Sha Yi has appeared, and the last time the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" ended, he had this problem, and was broken back by Zuo Le through the corner of Zhu Chuanwen in "Breaking through the Guandong".
After that, Sha Yi has remained normal, but now he has acted back in the movie "Wulin Gaiden" and changed back.
This matter is not serious, with the last experience, Sha Yi will be able to recover by himself after a while, but Zuo Le Movie can't afford to wait.
Therefore, Sha Yi could only be forced out.
And Golden Dragon actor Huang Bo, to be honest, he is Zuo Le's favorite candidate.
Fame, acting skills, audience popularity, all of them are the best of the three candidates, the only thing that is a little tangled is that Huang Bo is not from mountains and rivers, but his status as an actor is here, with Zuo Le's support, there is no big problem.
However, Huang Bo is too sought-after, and this year's schedule is almost full, Zuo Le contacted him, and when the other party heard that it would be filmed in the second half of the year, he immediately politely declined.
Sha Yi and Huang Bo couldn't succeed, Zuo Le retreated to the second, and finally chose Shen Teng.
In fact, Zuo Le has always admired Shen Teng, he feels that this actor has an audience, not to mention, and a spirituality that is rare for ordinary actors.
This kind of spirituality is usually not spoken, but at a critical moment, it can be pulled out of the crowd at once.
Therefore, Zuo Le is willing to give Shen Teng this chance.
However, Shen Teng also has something that makes him dissatisfied, that is, he looks too old, he complained a little when he played a college student, and now he is even more difficult to explain when he plays a high school student.
In fact, the other two people chose Sha Yi and Huang Bo not much better, Sha Yi can still pretend to be tender when he cleans up, Huang Bo ...... The image is more suitable for playing parents and teachers.
Zuo Le later figured it out, dreams, just as the protagonist's consciousness projection, entangled in so much what to do.
It's really not good to put more effort into makeup, make up the light during shooting, and repair it later, which is almost the same.
It was with this idea in mind that Zuo Le chose Yan Ni to play the heroine.
The role of Ma Dongmei is not simple, and the weight of the role is not weaker than that of the male protagonist Charlotte, and the overall level is also very complex.
In the early stage, he was spicy and naïve, in the middle stage, because of gangsters, he endured the pain and left in love, in the later stage, he was a good wife and mother and faced all kinds of tangled emotions in the face of Charlotte, and at the end he faced the sadness and relief of Charlotte's "death".
This kind of drama is by no means something that ordinary actresses can sustain.
Moreover, Ma Dongmei's image must be limited to a certain extent, otherwise the actor is too beautiful, and he will steal the limelight of the second female Qiuya, causing the role to be misplaced.
There are actually a few such actors in the circle, but they can't stand Yan Ni being her own person, she is still famous, and she has her own publicity effect
Yes, Zuo Le considered it comprehensively and finally settled on Yan Ni.
The male and female protagonists are set, and the remaining supporting roles are easy to say.
Shui Miaomiao is beautiful, there are more than enough acting flowers, and even Zuo Le plans to upgrade directly to the school flower, after all, she is the top goddess in the entertainment industry, and her appearance is quite strong.
In addition, Shui Miaomiao has been playing a positive role in the past few years, and Zuo Le has the heart to let her break through her image.
Cen Kun, born with a little white face, and a little receptive temperament, when Zuo Le watched the movie at Goldfinger, he was the first role he set.
Da Chun, a big man, Zhou Song is good at playing.
Zhang Yang, cheap waves follow, Lei Jiayin is not a big problem to win.
Basically, Zuo Le is based on the original version, and then combined with the actual selection of roles, although there are still some flaws, but he himself is quite satisfied.
