Chapter 1 Casting (Yesterday)

(Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, or I wish you all a happy new year, thank you for your support during this time)

Han Yu has a poem, "Outside Zhang Eighteen Members of the Water Department in Early Spring", the poem is written like this: The light rain in the heavenly street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass is close but there is nothing. It is the most beneficial spring of the year, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital.

It's very beautiful, depicting the spring light of March...

I really can't think of an opening word, so let's make do with it!

……

In March, with the hit of "Sword and Fairy III", all the leading actors became hot actors.

Hu Ge returned to the top again - after the car accident, he starred in "Shooting the Condor" and "Sword Butterfly", which can only be regarded as very ordinary, far less than the surprises brought by "The Legend of Sword and Fairy";

Huo Jianhua successfully became one of the four beauties of the world with Xu Changqing, and became the favorite of many netizens, so much so that he later became the king of Hengdian guns, which was considered fake news;

Yang Mi's Tang Xuejian, Liu Shishi's red and blue nightshade, Sugar Candy's Zixuan...

Idol dramas can really praise people!

Anyway, as far as Yang Mi is concerned, the exposure and popularity brought to her by "Sword and Fairy III" far exceed that of a bunch of dramas she acted in before...

Although Liu Shishi didn't act well, he set up a good character and made a lot of profits;

It's sugar candy...

She is hot enough, and "Sword and Fairy III" can only be regarded as icing on the cake at best.

But she doesn't care, some time ago, she appeared on the Forbes China Celebrity List for the first time, ranking 27th directly, with an income of 20.4 million;

How to calculate it, she herself doesn't know, only knows that her income is definitely more than that...

In the past few months, her commercial value has been developed in various ways, and Xu Li has signed five first-line endorsements for her in one go, and the endorsement fees are all calculated in euros!

Exposure + works, coupled with appearance, none of the new generation of actresses across the Taiwan Strait can be compared with her.

Liu Yifei can't either.

Sister Tianxian seems to have been out of gear in the past two years, after "The King of Kung Fu", she announced that she would go south to develop, and then...

There is no news, but the black material on the Internet is one pot after another.

The actress has a box office and popularity, what should she do next?

is generally to hone your acting skills, win awards, get recognized by professionals, or simply rush out of the country and mix the name of an international movie star.

Other than that, there is no third way to choose for the time being.

Tangtang wanted to choose the first path at first, but she knew very well where her upper limit was;

This road doesn't work, give up!

The second way...

It's also hard, her English is too bad...

Lu Xiaoran previously proposed to let her transform into a producer, and after several works of experience, she felt that it was time to give it a try!

"Palace", she is just one of the investors, not a producer.

Recently, she watched a "Why Sheng Xiaomo"...

This one is about: if you fall in love, you will wait for each other if you are together, if you don't love, you will let go and bless and leave, and there is no mustard in trusting each other.

I was moved.

Then, she bought the adaptation rights and found Bao Jingjing as a screenwriter, preparing to serve as a producer for the first time.

Therefore, history is mostly repeated, and you can see it as a dog that can't change its, or it can be seen as a person's persistence in his beliefs.

……

Lu Xiaoran is discussing the casting of "Scorching Sun" with Cao Baoping.

Cao Baoping ended the creation of "Yan'an Love", and finally freed his hands to tinker with "Scorching Sun"...

"Yan'an Love" is his debt - "Li Mi's Conjecture" and "Glorious Anger" are two plays, with varying degrees of losses, and he has to give investors a little explanation.

It just so happens that Yu Baimei has a good script at hand, called "Yan'an Love", and the producer has also found it - Zhejiang Radio, Film and Television Group...

"Yan'an Love", starring Deng Chao...

Cao Baoping admires Deng Chao, but he knows that a pure serious crime movie like "Scorching Sun" must use a star with weight, so Lu Xiaoran is irreplaceable!

"Xin Xiaofeng, you can act, is it okay?"

"I'm fine!"

"There's a frontal kiss in there..."

Lu Xiaoran swallowed his saliva: "Can you borrow a seat?"

Cao Baoping shook his head firmly: "Unlikely, there is a close-up!"

After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded: "Yes!"

Regarding this kiss scene, Lu Xiaoran asked Tangtang's opinion before, and as soon as she heard that Lu Xiaoran was making love with a man in the play, she was so excited that she would charter the venue and invite all relatives and friends to watch the movie live...

How to say it...

Lily plot and film, there are a group of lovers...

Lu Xiaoran asked again: "Can I appoint an actor?"

"This designer?"

"Yes. ”

"Whatever..."Cao Baoping suddenly looked up at him: "You shouldn't have already thought of a candidate, right?"

Lu Xiaoran hurriedly denied: "How is it possible, I just want to choose someone who is handsome, at least worthy of my appearance!"

"Deng Chao is very handsome!"

"Hu Ge is also handsome!"

(→_→)(←_←)

Smiled awkwardly...

Cao Baoping broke the embarrassment and continued: "Yi Gu Chun, I want to use Duan Yihong, he should be able to perform that kind of taste!"

"Duan Yihong... Acting school, no problem!"

"Who does Yang Zidao use?

"He... He's too expensive, and he's always upright, so it's not appropriate to play such a role..."

Cao Baoping thought for a moment and nodded: "It's really..."

"What about Wu Gang?"

“… He's too old to fit in!"

Old?

Lu Xiaoran immediately remembered someone: "Fuda Dragon!"

"Yes, I'll send him an invitation right away!"

"Chen Bijue, just use Cao Binkun..."

"Okay, that's what I had in mind. ”

"Iya Natsu?"

Cao Baoping: "... This needs a very tense actress, I recommend Zhou Xun!"

"Teacher Cao, you also know the weight of Zhou Xun, this Yi Gu Xia doesn't have much drama, how can she be willing to take it?"

There is also a saying that you know her price ...

Cao Baoping nodded: "Okay, then it's up to you to arrange!"

Lu Xiaoran seriously thought back to the actress she knew, and her mind was a little empty...

"Forget it, I'll go back and discuss it with a few people in the company, just sit and think, and I can't come up with a conclusion!"

After discussing the casting issue, Cao Baoping said the progress of the completion of the script: "This script is too difficult to change, Xu Yigua is a political and legal reporter, so many of the episodes in the story are adapted from real events, and they also involve many sensitive topics, which need to be handled artistically, but they can't affect the dramatic tension, and this process is very painful." ”

"How long will it take?"

"Give me at least half a year!"

“… Yes, I'll send the original book to a few actors in advance and ask them to prepare!"

The script of "Scorching Sun" must be difficult to do, based on a real murder case, Cao Baoping wants to make the opposition between law and love, which is extremely controversial in itself.

Even if you have the backing of Golden Shield Film and Television, you can't touch the bottom line!

"In terms of box office, you don't have to worry, I have one request for this movie, it must be made with taste. ”

Cao Baoping was stunned for a moment: "... That's good, it's a long story, and I want to try it more..."

Lu Xiaoran smiled: "Don't worry, as long as it can be released, you can try it casually!"
