“......”

He Xin's unexpected answer made Uncle Li, who was thin, old and strong, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In fact, at first, he was not surprised by He Xin's lack of interest. He is a photographer and director, so he is naturally very aware of the gap between movies and TV series, when he was a fledgling, didn't he also yearn for movies, but he was not as lucky as the national teacher, and he failed in two movies in a row, so he had to pick up the camera again and do his old job.

Later, after directing a successful TV series, he also devoted himself to developing in the field of TV dramas. But one thing is clear, as long as he is in charge of the work as a photographer, it must be a movie.

It shows the status of TV series and movies in his mind.

The same is true for the actors, movie coffee and TV coffee are completely two different concepts in the circle. Although it may be due to the recession of the domestic film market, the recognition of making movies among the audience is far less than those hit dramas, but the pursuit of career and the improvement of one's own style are still flocking.

It has become a trend to make TV series popular and immediately transform into a movie. For example, how many viewers can know the amazement of "Suzhou Creek" in the weekly news?

Later, it was well known to the audience and relied on several popular TV series such as "Daming Palace Ci", "April Day in the World", and "Orange is Red".

The same is true for He Xin. From the beginning of making literary films, even if he won the Best Newcomer in Berlin and the Golden Horse Actor, there are not many ordinary audiences who can know him. The real popularity still depends on the TV series "Conquest", "I am not a hero", and "Qiao's Courtyard", which was hit at the beginning of last year.

But even if they are popular in the field of TV dramas, they will eventually return to the big screen.

There are both contradictions and complementary relationships, no matter how good your acting skills are, if you are not popular and have no audience recognition, it will be difficult to receive a role in a big production. In China, if an actor wants to become popular, he can only rely on TV series to a large extent. Only when you are popular, can you gain the favor of big directors. is like He Xin, if there is no "Conquest", he may not fall into the sight of Director Chen and Xu Laowei, and he will have the opportunity to star in big productions such as "Wuji" and "Seven Swords".

Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Fan Xiaopang and other popular flowers followed the same path. The only exception is Zhang Ziyi, because her starting point is too high, as soon as she debuted, she was the consecration of the two international directors of the National Teacher and Li Yu, and then mixed all the way to Hollywood, and there was no need to make TV series to increase her popularity. The next candidate may be Tong Wei.

So Uncle Li understands He Xin's reaction very well, but he is still confident that he can impress the other party through the story and script, and even has a good draft for this. But the result caught him off guard, as soon as the words began, the other party actually agreed, and what was even more surprising was that He Xin just listened to the synopsis of the story, and decided to give up the male number one who had a lot of scenes, and took the initiative to ask to play the male number two.

What is this path?

Uncle Li subconsciously said, "Why is it the second male?"

"Uh......"

He Xin also realized at this time that the words he blurted out just now were a little too eager and abrupt, he didn't even read the script, so he made such a "hasty" decision, and he also took the initiative to ask to play the second male Yang Liren, which really made people feel unreasonable.

But since the words have been spoken, he can only bite the bullet and say: "Mr. Zhang, after listening to your introduction just now, I think the theme of this story is very novel, and the description of historical events during the war period is also very objective, there are frictions and confrontations, but on the whole, it is still a brother's insult outside the wall." But I prefer the character of my eldest brother Yang Liren, I don't think he should be a villain, this character is more introverted, depressed, burdened, and has an inexplicable sense of mission. I've never played this kind of role, so I really wanted to try it. ”

Uncle Li felt a little bad when he heard it, as the director of this play, how could he not know the importance of the role of the second male Yang Liren, the requirements for acting skills are very high, and the performance will be quite brilliant if he plays it well. So he wanted to leave this role to his little brother Huang Zhizhong.

He paused slightly, and then said hurriedly: "Oh, Xiaohe, you are a big name! How can you play a supporting role? No matter how good Yang Liren is, he is also a supporting role! Oh, I may not have made it clear just now, Yang Liqing's role is good, from young to middle-aged, from the Whampoa Military Academy to the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and then to the Communist Party's defeat of the Kuomintang, a span of more than 20 years, such a difficult role, all pointing to you, the acting power, is holding up, and it can't be done without you. I suggest that you read the script first and get to know the character of Yang Liqing well, I believe you will definitely like this character. ”

If He Xin hadn't watched this play, he might have been fooled by Uncle Li. Yang Liqing's role is really good, male number one, and almost condenses all the excellent qualities of a soldier of our party in the character.

For example, he was born in Whampoa, made many military exploits during the Northern Expedition, stood on the right side of the two party divisions, was an excellent commander of the Red Army, insisted on fighting guerrillas despite persecution, the Red Team, the Red University instructor, fought against the Japanese invaders, the intelligence department, the logistics department, and the army commander in the War of Liberation.

Yang Liqing's experience covers almost all important departments of our army from the beginning of its founding to the liberation of the whole of China.

And in terms of emotion, the character of Yang Liqing is also colorful, with an unforgettable love with Qu Xia in the front, and Lin E respects each other like a guest, which is a matter of course, and there is a dewy relationship with the female bandit leader Bai Fenglan in the middle.

Although there are small twists and turns in the career, it is generally smooth sailing and domineering, emotionally surrounded by three women at different stages, and the proper routine of the cool male protagonist is absolute.

However, this kind of character is not new. For example, if you like someone, and then you love the house and Wu like the doctrine and career that that person likes, isn't this a copy of Yu Zecheng!

In his last life, He Xin watched this drama, and his two favorite characters were not Yang Liqing of King Yan, but Yang Liren of Huang Zhizhong and Dong Jianchang of Secretary Yuliang.

To exaggerate, if the role is suitable, he would rather choose the more realistic Dong Chee-chang rather than play the face-painted Yang Liqing. Of course, King Yan handled this face-painted character quite well, and tried his best to shape it into a flesh-and-blood character as close to real as possible.

The character of Yang Liren is different, as the second male lead, he is the other extreme of Yang Liqing's opposite. But he is not a villain in the traditional sense, but a revolutionary youth who has patriotic enthusiasm from the beginning, and also has his own firm beliefs and ideals.

Compared with Yang Liqing's deviance that doomed him to be extraordinary, then Yang Liren, as a scholar, believes in the set of "the king is the minister, and the father is the son", which is more in line with the characteristics of the characters of that era, and it can even be said that such a shadow can still be seen in a considerable number of men in China to this day. 90 Literature Network

It is precisely because of this that Yang Liren is extremely loyal to his beliefs in his work, even if he has different opinions from the principal, he still yearns for it.

And at home, he is the eldest son, but his father's favorite is the youngest son Liqing, who sneers at his work, although he is not welcomed at home, but at home, he can remove the armor outside, show the soft place in his heart, and Lihua supports this family, so that the Yang family can be preserved in the troubled times.

The two words of loyalty and filial piety have been perfectly interpreted in him.

Of course, as the second male lead, the role of Yang Liren does not have as many scenes as Yang Liqing, and his experience is so rich, and many places are all brushed aside. And compared to the more pleasing, cute, and fuller male number one, Yang Liren can only be regarded as a sword, which will make people feel like they are in a warm room and suddenly open the door and blow in a cold breeze.

And it is precisely this feeling that makes this character more tense and more realistic.

Such a character, He Xin has never seen in other film and television dramas, scarce, complex, rich, and extreme. He even told Uncle Li in person that he didn't need to read the script, he wanted to play Yang Liren.

It's just that this is not quite in line with reality and logic, his eyes followed the movements of the two thick scripts that Uncle Li carried from under the coffee table, glanced at the line of words on the cover, "The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life", and said after a while: "Teacher Zhang, I took this play." However, in terms of role, I still prefer the role of Yang Liren. I also hope that you will keep this role for a while, and I will reply to you after reading the script, it won't take too long, just these two days. ”

Uncle Li opened his mouth, only to see that although He Xin's face was full of smiles, his deep eyes revealed firmness and perseverance, his heart suddenly moved, and he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for good news." ”

Speaking of this level, He Xin picked up the script and got up to say goodbye.

Uncle Li sent him all the way to the door, but he couldn't help but persuade him: "Yang Liqing's character is really good, I hope you can think about it after reading the script." ”

"Okay!" He Xin nodded and responded.

Then he said very politely: "Teacher Zhang, please stay!"

Seeing He Xin's tall, thin and tall back disappear around the corner of the hotel corridor, Uncle Li walked into the house, closed the door and sighed secretly, muttering to himself: "This is an understanding person!"

Back in front of the coffee table, I went to order the tea that had been cold in the cup, poured a cup of hot one again, took it in my hand and tasted it, thought about it, put down the cup, took out the mobile phone in my trouser pocket, and dialed a number.

"Zhizhong, the matter of the character I told you last time may not be easy to handle now......

And a baritone-voiced voice with a slightly sharp voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Li, what's the matter?

"Alas, things have changed somewhat, you listen to me......"

Uncle Li explained to the little brother on the other end of the phone with a bitter face.

He can foresee that He Xin will most likely still choose the role of Yang Liren. Although he believes in his little brother's acting skills very much, he also wants to pull a little brother who has empty acting skills but has been tepid in the circle. But a big-name acting artist like He Xin took a fancy to this role, and it was difficult for both the investor and him to refuse.

At the same time, He Xin walked out of the elevator with brisk steps, passed by the brightly lit lobby, and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the service desk, which was already past midnight.

He walked out of the door and reached out to hail a taxi that was waiting for passengers.

"Master, Xujiahui, Xingeng Road, Yongxin Flower Garden. Speaking fluent in local dialect, he reported the address.

"Great!" the driver replied excitedly.

From here to Xujiahui, almost across the entire urban area, it is rare to pull a big order.

For a whole day, on the platform, on the red carpet, and at the awards ceremony, I just chatted with Uncle Li again, and my body was very tired, but his spirit was still good. He leaned comfortably on the back seat of the cab and patted the script in his hand, a smile on his face.

Previously, he planned to look for and wait for "The Wind" wholeheartedly after filming "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" and "Love Has an Afterlife". This "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life" can be said to be an unexpected gain.

He closed his eyes, and some clips from the TV series of Yuan Time and Space kept flashing in his mind, especially at the end, when Lihua said that he didn't want to go to Wanwan, Yang Liren stared at her and said in a trembling tone: "Are you going to abandon me and this family?"

The sadness of the end of the road made him can't help but have a sour nose.

I have to admit that Yang Liren portrayed by Huang Zhizhong in the original version is very good, but how to say it?

Since it is a rebirth class, it is natural to gather wool, and it doesn't matter who you don't, the important thing is that the author likes this character.
