It is worth mentioning that the reason why Luo Xun chose Kong Sheng as the director of "Blood Romance" is not only because of the potential of the other party to become a first-line director in the TV industry in the future-

That's too much to take for granted.

You must know that different directors have different types of good at, even first-line directors have themes that they are not good at, and he was sure that Kong Sheng could control the theme of the main drama "Blood Romance", so he recommended him to be the director of this drama.

The reason is simple.

Two thousand and four years in the previous life.

Kong Sheng filmed a Beijing-style drama "Qianmen Louzi Jiuzhangjiu", Kong Sheng, who was born in Shandong, actually filmed the customs and folklore of Yanjing very really, which is the decisive reason why Luo Xun asked Kong Shuang to direct "Blood Romance", after all, in this play, most of the important characters are Yanjing people, and many of the backgrounds of the story are also placed in the old Yanjing, Zhong Yuemin Zhang Haiyang and others are famous stubborn masters in Yanjing City, if you can't shoot that Beijing flavor, this drama will be overshadowed!

As for Hou Hongliang......

Luo Xun didn't expect that Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng had already started to cooperate before Shanying was established, and they were still working as directors, in Luo Xun's impression, the two of them worked together, and the power was definitely greater than one plus one was greater than two, which can be seen from the two of them cooperating in a series of popular dramas in the future.

"That's right. ”

Luo Xun suddenly remembered.

In his previous life, Wang Bao cooperated with Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng in "Langya Bang", so looking at it, he accidentally built the prototype of a mountain shadow team, after all, in "Blood Romance", Wang Bao was arranged to play the second female Gao Yue.

Mountain Shadow......

From "Crossing the Guandong" and "Wenzhou Family" to "Battle of Changsha", "No War in Beiping" and "Parents' Love", and even the later popular "The Pretender", "Langya Bang" and "Ode to Joy" and a series of works, this chariot is invincible, Luo Xun is looking forward to what kind of sparks can be rubbed by the combination of Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang with classic dramas like "Blood Romance"!

Enter Chen Ran's office.

Luo Xun quickly persuaded Chen Ran to let Hou Hongliang serve as the co-director of "Blood Romance", and Chen Ran was also helpless: "My boss and I are taking risks for you, whether Kong Sheng or Hou Hongliang, they are all unknown rookie directors, in addition to the fact that they have filmed dramas and won the Feitian Award, I don't see that they have other values worthy of your recommendation." ”

"Don't worry. ”

Luo Xun said seriously: "This is the first time I have played the male lead, I value the success or failure of this drama more than anyone else, and the level of the two of them will definitely not disappoint you." ”

Luo Xun wants to give Chen Ran confidence.

After all, the company is not unable to help Luo find a quasi-first-line director to shoot "Blood Romance", who in the circle does not know, using a newcomer has to take a lot of risks, and using a new director is a tightrope walk, this decision is not bold.

"Okay. ”

Chen Ran said: "Let's not talk about the director, let's talk about the role, Zhong Yuemin's age span is very large, you have to play from a hairy boy who has not graduated to his middle age, this has to be said to be a big challenge......"

"You still know how to act?"

"You may not believe it, I used to audit a lot of acting classes when I was in college, so naturally I know something, don't care if I understand it or not, tell me what you think. ”

Luo Xun smiled: "First of all, the image. ”

Different age groups need different images to support, Du Liang complained that Liu Ye's Zhong Yuemin was unqualified in his previous life, and one of the arguments was that Liu Ye's hairstyle and makeup have not changed much: "I need to do a good job of image design at each stage before starting filming." ”

Chen Ran nodded.

Luo Xun said: "Zhong Yuemin is a stubborn master, a famous stubborn lord in Yanjing City, he befriended all over the world, and he was angry on the surface, but in fact he was not a hooligan, he just liked to pretend to be very bad, and his personality changes were related to his life experience, he was unruly in his stubborn career in Yanjing City, and later went out to cut the queue as a young man, and went out with a large team of people to ask for food, his temper began to converge, and later he began to become resolute and resolute as a soldier, and even the king of killers like Ning Wei was obedient to him......"

Zhong Yuemin has a lot of experience.

As the stubborn lord of Yanjing City, he gathered a lot of supporters around him, and later cut the queue to the countryside and took the educated youth out to ask for food, and entered the ace army, and was able to pack up a group of iron-blooded soldiers to obey his orders, and he could also enjoy selling pancakes after changing jobs, and became an important leader of state-owned enterprises, and he lived a life of drunkenness, and then he also entered the prison cell and became the head of the cell......

He enjoys life.

Even in the prison cell, he felt that this was a special experience on the road, and these different experiences had a more profound shaping of his character.

Of course.

Different women in his life also have a great influence on him, Zhou Xiaobai, Qin Ling, Gao Yue needless to say, Zhong Yuemin leaned on the red cui when he was the most romantic, and at the most, he had three or four girlfriends at the same time, from a popular singer to a female secretary of the company, he could no longer find a man whose life was more exciting than him.

"Shattered, reassembled. ”

Chen Ran said with a smile: "This role, you have to polish the shadows of all your past roles cleanly, you can only impress the audience if you really become Zhong Yuemin, the unruly side, the free and righteous side, the unruly side, every side, it is not easy to shape, if you are not careful, you will become a negative man, and if you are not careful, you will become heartless." ”

"Looks like you know a little bit. ”

Luo Xun teased, he has recently repeatedly studied the plot of "Blood Romance", and began to understand why Du Liang said in his previous life that Liu Ye played Zhong Yuemin into a gangster.

That's a balance.

Just looking at the appearance, Zhong Yuemin does have a gangster side, cynicism is his attitude towards things, but in essence, Zhong Yuemin is not bad and not mixed, he is just the epitome of the stubborn masters of that era, in fact, Zhong Yuemin's group of stubborn masters will become the top of China in the future, and the people who left the aid dynasty are even the best among them.

their restlessness.

It is the restlessness of the times.

The difficulty of this role lies in the fact that it is difficult for Luo Xun to accurately grasp the pulse of that era, and the story begins at a time when the world's minds are in turmoil, and Luo Xun has not experienced that feverish era.

How to fix it?

Last time, in order to shoot "Kung Fu", I watched a lot of Xiangjiang police and gangster films, and this time in order to shoot "Blood Romance", Luo Xun decided to read a lot of books, from history to, to learn more about the stories of that era, which may help Luo Xun understand the hearts of the characters.
