Chapter 171: Character Candidate Discussion
"Director Xin, don't say that, I'm the one who reads the script and speaks, the quality of this book is very high, I have no reason to say no. Lu Yang looks like a businessman.
But on this occasion, Director Jiang and several other eldest sisters were there, and in their opinion, Lu Yang's statement clearly didn't want everyone to owe him favors.
After all, how long has Lu Yang read the script?
At this point, it is impossible to read it all.
Dare to say that the script is good without reading it?
Isn't this giving everyone face?
In recent years, some people have helped you do big things, but they always think of themselves as your benefactors, don't mention it at every turn, and often publicize it to the outside world.
This is forcibly making small favors into adult favors, and making villains into adult favors.
This is what the major directors and producers in the entertainment industry hate the most.
For example, you ask an actor to help you on a show and be a guest. On the one hand, it is indeed the other party who helps, but doesn't this give the other party a chance to be exposed?
However, some people have to think that they helped the director run an announcement, and then when they asked the director for a role on this ground, it made a lion open his mouth.
This has also led to fewer and fewer cases in the circle in recent years to find someone to help participate in variety shows.
In the past, there were actually quite a lot of such cases, and there was no charge, they were all pure friendships.
Someone else has spoiled this friendship.
But Lu Yang actually did the opposite, for everyone's sake, he agreed to Director Xin's invitation, and said that the script was well written.
not only saved Director Xin's face, but also did not burden the others around him.
This kid really ...... It's so sweet.
Sister Hua, Sister Hong, and Director Chen were in their hearts and looked at each other.
This Lu Yang, there is something.
At least in terms of being a person, it is very comfortable.
No wonder Director Jiang values him so much.
Of course, this is the idea of several big sisters.
Jiang Wei rolled her eyes slightly, and she thought of the possibility of being closer to reality.
Lu Yang said before that there are not many good films that Lin Menglan and Jiang Wei can receive in the past six months, and there are very few opportunities, so it is better to wait than to take bad movies.
Although I don't know where he got his confidence, who let this man call the shots in this family?
Whatever he says is what it is.
However, Lu Yang also mentioned a film, suspenseful, which Su Xiaoyu and Mannie were looking for. He seems to be very optimistic about that film, and bluntly said that if he can find it, as long as the crew is not too pit, Lin Menglan can star.
Compared with Lu Yang's usual harsh requirements, this is simply compassionate.
And now, Jiang Wei is sure that the script that Lu Yang has been looking for is likely to be the one that Director Xin just handed him.
Otherwise, Lu Yang is not a person who will succumb to the pressure of a group of bigwigs.
Lu Yang has never been a person who is afraid of offending people.
It's not terrible to offend someone, as long as you're sure that he won't affect you or you're sure that the relationship will be repaired in the future.
Of course, Jiang Wei will not say this thing.
If you can let everyone, or at least let Director Xin owe Lu Yang a favor, why not?
Sure enough, after that, Lu Yang continued to praise the script for a few words.
And the people around him felt more and more that Lu Yang was humble and could do things.
"I don't know about the other characters, what does Director Xin think now?" Lu Yang said.
Everyone has also learned about the script just now.
What the quality is, everyone only has a cursory understanding and is not sure.
But there are a few key twists that everyone still finds very shocking.
Even Director Jiang applauded.
The main characters in it are, a female murderer in a serial murder case, a female police captain, a rookie male policeman, and a temporary worker who tracks down the murder, a total of four characters, two men and two women.
Among them, the main role is in the female murderer.
This is a rare big heroine movie with a villain as the protagonist.
There have been very few big heroines in recent years, and there are few other films with big heroines except for costume idol dramas.
And there are very few films in which the villain is the protagonist.
The two are superimposed, and this film is naturally not optimistic.
The reason why this drama in the previous life failed to come out is that it can't find a suitable role on the one hand, but there are also many obstacles in other aspects.
This is a rookie policeman who enters the police force and falls in love with his female boss, and finds that the female boss is tracking down an old serial case. Later, the newcomer and the female boss met the temporary worker who was also investigating the case, and the three of them together finally found the truth story.
Looking at the synopsis, nothing special.
But the brilliance of the story lies in the difference in the details.
The details of this script are set up very cleverly, which fully reflects Director Xin's talent.
"The role of this female murderer is very challenging, and because of the particularity of the role, there are very few actresses who can control it. There are less than a few actresses in my heart who can play this role in the entire circle, and Menglan is the most suitable among them. Director Xin said bluntly, "The rest of them are too old on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is difficult for me to move." ”
Director Xin said quite sincerely, she debuted a few years earlier than Lin Menglan, and she also became famous early, but she was not banned, but chose to transform behind the scenes after the fire, and she also made a name for herself.
This makes her have a very high status in the circle, a bit like the female version of Director Jiang.
But the age and seniority are here, and those predecessors before her, especially the queens, don't buy her account.
"The female police officer is also an important female supporting role, and there is a relationship scene with the male protagonist, I plan to find ......" Director Xin said a few names.
"What about the male protagonist?" Lu Yang continued to ask.
"The male lead, said to be the male lead, but in fact, the role and script positioning are all male supporting roles, and it is very difficult for this role to find a powerful top actor. I plan to ask second-tier powerful male stars, such as Lao Huang, Xiao Qin, and Lao Guo. Director Xin said a few names again.
As soon as she finished speaking, the others did not react, but Sister Hua immediately frowned, because Sister Hua instinctively felt that this configuration was problematic.
"Impossible. Lu Yang said what Sister Hua wanted to say, which made Sister Hua look sideways, "The batch of female supporting actresses you invited, the big coffee will not be convinced to match Sister Lan, and the acting skills of the small coffee will not be looked down upon by the male protagonist you invited." ”
"The reason why Lao Huang, Xiao Qin, and Lao Guo have not been famous is because they have their own persistence in acting, so they have missed many good opportunities, and the exposure rate has always been insufficient. They won't compromise on that. ”
After Lu Yang finished speaking, everyone was silent.
Because it is.
There is a phenomenon of disconnection between mainland actresses.
Since Lin Menglan's generation, almost all of the popular ones are the heroines of costume idol dramas, and all of them have taken the path of Huadan. There is no fault line in popularity, but in acting, there is a huge fault line.
Among the young generation of actresses, there may also be people with highlight performances, but the overall performance level is relatively low.
It's not that there is a problem with their ability, but the environment they are in determines that their acting skills must be exaggerated and superficial, and it is difficult to be profound.
Because the group that likes ancient puppets has a low aesthetic level of acting, high-level performances and superficial performances are similar in their eyes. But for actors, the former is much more difficult to perform than the latter.
The time consumed by a high-level performance can be used to shoot more than a dozen superficial performances.
Whether it is the crew or the actors, they will choose the latter.
It's not that you can't shoot good things, but in this level of market, it's enough to use general goods. They want to look at the face of the star, not the performance of the star.
Different audiences and different needs naturally lead to different points.
"Well, Xiao Qin's actors not only have the pursuit of scripts, but also have high requirements for actors. Director Jiang nodded, he is essentially this kind of actor.
But this kind of actor puts a lot of pressure on the director and crew.
