Chapter 51: Transformation, Modern Drama
"Cheng Yuan......"
Lu Ze recalled, and soon the director's basic information was remembered by Lu Ze.
This director is not as good as Guo Mingde, and he is much older than Guo Mingde, but he is also one of the more famous TV drama directors, and he can be called a first-line in China.
Unlike Guo Mingde, Guo Mingde's TV series mostly focus on bloody themes such as military films and anti-Japanese war films, mainly from a male perspective.
Cheng Yuan is famous for urban dramas, which are basically emotional dramas, and the vast majority of the audience are women, who have super high requirements for the script, delicate shooting techniques, and high requirements for actors.
This is what Lu Ze knows, there is all the information about Cheng Yuan, and the reason why he is worse than Guo Mingde is not because of his strength, but also because the subject matter is not good.
Guo Mingde pays great attention to the connotation and depth of the script, so although the audience is not wide, it is worthy of the respect of others, and no one can say a bad word.
Cheng Yuan, on the other hand, has a wide audience, but because he always shoots some love things, he will inevitably be criticized for having love triangles and some negative energy feelings.
Lu Ze sat on the sofa again, looked at Shen Jinghan and Gao Wanzhi, and after a while, Shen Jinghan handed over the script.
Lu Ze took it with both hands, this is just a script for the audition, it is not thick, Lu Ze glanced at the cover, the name of the script is "Imperial Capital Youth".
Obviously, this is an urban drama, and it is estimated that after the failure of Cheng Yuan's transformation work last year, he reluctantly returned to the original theme.
But this is a new genre for Lu Ze, after all, he has never filmed an urban drama before.
Turning the first page, Lu Ze looked at the contents.
Guo Xiaofei: Male No. 2, Beipiao, interned in the imperial capital after graduating from college, during which his college girlfriend ran away with the rich second generation, gave him a forgiveness hat, and then developed feelings for the female one, and was liked by the second female again, because of the pressure of the imperial capital and the lack of confidence in his own income, he became realistic and gloomy, and finally lost to reality and left the imperial capital.
This character Lu Ze felt that he was too miserable, and in the end his career and relationship were nothing, but he did not deserve sympathy, because he should have a fairly good tomorrow, and in the end he fell to such a point that he did it all by himself.
This drama still has some not-so-sunny values and outlook on love, as well as a four-cornered love with a complex relationship, and it is still a love drama between the rich second generation and an ordinary girl, Bai Fumei and Beipiaosi.
There are only six main characters, and the third female and third male have always been together, which is the only love in this play that has been from the beginning.
And the most difficult to play in this drama is the second male, as for the male one? A cool rich kid is actually not difficult to play, all kinds of handsome, all kinds of hanging bombs, and it's over.
As a summary, this drama is actually very old-fashioned, that is, the target market is a group of little girls who are not adults and are still looking forward to love.
After a brief glance at the dialogue, because there were still two people waiting next to him, Lu Ze closed the script and put it on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
"How do you feel after reading it?"
"I haven't acted in a modern romance drama before, but I don't think there's a problem with it, I can try it. ”
This is the second male, and he is no longer a small role, it can be said that Zhang Lixian is more than one grade worse than Guo Xiaofei.
Now that the company has gone through the relationship to win an audition for a second male actor for itself, even if Lu Ze doesn't like these romance dramas, he has to be on it, and he can't help it.
Gao Wanzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Actually, the company for you to choose this drama company has also gone through some considerations, you have been filming war scenes before, if you continue to shoot war scenes, the first thing is that the audience's perception of you will be stereotyped, and the second point is that the audience of anti-Japanese dramas is too small, which is not conducive to your development, after discussion, it is also a coincidence, the news that Director Cheng Yuan is going to start filming a new drama came out, we won a chance for you, you have the courage to make changes, which is very good." ”
Have the courage to make a change? Lu Ze can't wait to change, he is fed up with the dusty set and the buzzing of his ears after the explosion, and he is too late to be happy if he can take other scenes.
"So when should I go to the audition?"
"There's still a lot of time left for you in mid-January, but you'll have to work hard and the company wants you to take the role on your own. ”
Gao Wanzhi spoke very bluntly, Lu Ze must transform according to the company's plan, if Lu Ze fails to pass the audition, the company will also find an opportunity to put him on top.
But this will inevitably disappoint the senior management, and it is inevitable to think about whether it is worth it to invest in the next stage of resources for Lu Ze.
In other words, if Lu Ze chooses himself and saves resources for the company, then after the play is completed, the company will increase the investment saved and reinvest it in Lu Ze.
If you don't choose it yourself, then you have to consider whether to give Lu Ze resources after the broadcast of this drama, whether you can give it or not.
So now, Lu Ze is quite in control of his life and death, and he is alive, not half-dead.
Lu Ze felt the pressure and exhaled a long breath.
"I understand Sister Gao, I will do my best. ”
Lu Ze put away the script, rolled it up and stuffed it into his satchel, but saw Shen Jinghan on the side showing an inexplicable smile.
"I think you two are thinking too seriously about the matter, I'll go and communicate with Cheng Yuan to understand, Lu Ze, you don't have to worry too much, so let's see when Cheng Yuan has time, I'll ask him, let's go out for dinner." ”
Hearing Shen Jinghan say this, Lu Ze patted his head, he forgot about this stubble, the company has the company's resources, and the agent also has his own connections, just now I heard Shen Jinghan say that she and Cheng Yuan are friends, so they should be able to explore Cheng Yuan's tone more or less, right?
This is the advantage of having a senior agent, who is friends with directors, investors, advertisers, and other big guys who can help artists, and clear obstacles for artists.
It's just that Lu Ze is a little puzzled, how could such a well-connected agent come to Qianshijia? And why did all the artists she brought before terminate their contracts with her?
couldn't figure it out, and it was hard to ask, so Lu Ze could only thank her.
"Then I'm sorry for you, Aunt Shen. ”
"You're polite, as your agent, you don't have to thank me for this kind of thing, there's nothing wrong this time, right? Then I'll leave first, where do you live, Lu Ze?
After Lu Ze refused, this nearly fifty-year-old beauty carried a red LV and left with sunglasses.
After Shen Jinghan left, Lu Ze also said goodbye to Gao Wanzhi and walked home.
It's only noon now, Lu Ze went to the stationery store to buy a few notebooks and pens, and returned to the bedroom to start writing.
The difficulty of playing this role is not too great, but Lu Ze still goes all out, because the opportunity does not allow him to slack off.
wrote until more than six o'clock in the evening, Guo Xiaofei's autobiography Lu Ze wrote almost 8,000 words.
Don't look at the number of words written, this is because the script gives very little information, and you need to rely on Lu Ze's brain supplement to fill Guo Xiaofei's life before the plot begins, just 8,000 words, Lu Ze has already written dizzy.
After eating, I wrote for a while, and I made up almost 10,000 words, and after washing, I put on the sun-dried sheets and sheets, closed my eyes and went to sleep.
After entering the system space, I quickly skimmed through the lessons I had already learned, and then found the simulation course I wanted to learn tonight.
Tonight's course selection was targeted, he had seen it before, but he hadn't learned it yet.
Exhaled, hesitated, and then firmly chose the course.
"I am loading "urban white-collar lifestyle habits and thoughts", and please prepare 3 ...... 2…… 1…… The course begins. ”
