Chapter 6 Cutting off the beard?
When a person will be seen as a former role no matter what he plays, then the actor is undoubtedly quite a failure, because he will never be able to get out of the role he once had.
Sun Honglei is very clear about his problem - Liu Huaqiang in "Conquest" is too strong and leaves too deep an impression.
The first ruthless man in the Northeast!
After that, he moved to the film industry and starred in Tsui Hark's "Seven Swords" and John Woo's "Heaven's Mouth", all of which played strong and domineering roles.
It's not that I don't want to transform, good roles are really hard to find, and they will always be only a few, and the majority of the dramas that Hong Lei has taken over the past few years belong to homogeneous villains.
He also wants to transform...
So, in various collection scripts...
He is also considered to be in the Beijing circle, although he is only a marginal figure.
Those who are familiar with the entertainment industry know that there is an old men's gang in the capital, the core character is Zhao Baogang, the spiritual leader is Wang Shuo, the acting role is Uncle Ge, the talent is Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang, the appearance is Chen Zhiming, and the behind-the-scenes boss is Zheng Xiaolong.
In fact, there are Ye Jing and Ye Daying, the former is the chicken thief in "Party A and Party B", and the latter is the one who bears the name of Ye Shuai, but he broke it later.
In addition, Wang Zhiwen, a representative of the Shanghai faction, and Zhang Guoli, a representative of the Sichuan faction, are also very close to this group. Coupled with Zhang Fengyi, You Yong, Liu Zhenyun, Sun Honglei and other marginal figures, they formed an old men's gang that occupies half of the country, and is proud of the entertainment industry with a big man's attitude.
At least that's for now!
Xin Baoyuan, as the base of Zhao Baogang, the core figure of the Beijing circle, can receive a lot of scripts every year, Sun Honglei is the first brother of Xin Baoyuan, and there are many scripts that can be contacted every year!
In fact, Sun Honglei has already caught up with "Mei Lanfang", he will play Qiu Rubai, a big intellectual, the prototype is Mr. Mei Lanfang's agent Mr. Qi Rushan...
But he thinks it's not enough, and there should be two film and television dramas!
Therefore, it is still in the process of collecting scripts.
Jiang Wei, although he has been a TV series director with several works, his name is not very loud, "Don't Talk to Strangers", he is the screenwriter and co-director, behind Zhang Jiandong...
The three works of "Silent Witness", "Close to You, Warm Me", and "Mist" have a good reputation, but they failed to get on the stars and their influence is insufficient.
It stands to reason that Sun Honglei should not be able to see the script of "Latent"!
But he just saw it!
And I like this Yu Zecheng very much.
I heard that the actor has been selected for this show?
What are you afraid of, grab it!
He said to Zhao Baogang back then, 'You don't need me, you'll regret it'...
And he is very confident in himself - he was originally a literary debut, and he has the title of Little Jiang Wen!
"Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" is a simple and kind loyal dog Alai;
"Zhou Yu's Train" holy spare tire man Zhang Qiang...
Literary drama, he is not weak!
......
Lu Xiaoran is chatting with Yang Mi...
It's rare that Yang Mi actually has time!
I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and Lu Xiaoran sensitively noticed that this girl seemed to be a bear - it used to be a xiaolongbao, but now it's a steamed bun...
"I heard that you went to Qinling, Shaanxi Province for half a year?"
“... Half a year, no, it's not even three months!"
"That's amazing!"
Terrible?
Lu Xiaoran was a little incomprehensible...
""Stone" is so popular, you can actually endure loneliness, and you didn't take the opportunity to take the film! It shows that you don't want to be limited by a role, which is good!"
"I took the movie before the release of 'Stone'. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoran seemed to think of something: "Do you have a schedule for May next year?"
Yang Mi gave him a strange look: "Why are you asking this?"
"Oh, I might have to make a movie without a heroine!"
Yang Mi was very interested: "Do you make movies?
"Yes!"
"Next year?"
Yang Mi hesitated...
"What's the matter?
"I have to talk to my agent, is there a script?"
“... To give. ”
Take out the script of "Border Storm" from the bag you are carrying.
Yang Mi didn't open it, but lowered her voice: "Rong Xingda is ready to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions"!"
""Dream of Red Mansions"? That's not director Hu Mei..."
"Hu Mei can't hold on, Mr. Li is ready to take over!"
"Congratulations, Bao Dai has played any role, it's all classics!"
"I thought so too!"
As the future sister of Rong Xingda, Yang Mi is still very confident that she will win Baochai or Daiyu - she can't give it to outsiders.
Glancing at Lu Xiaoran, who was still very calm, Yang Mi was a little anxious: "Don't you have any ideas?"
Lu Xiaoran touched his nose and didn't speak...
At the beginning, of course, I had some ideas, but it was "Dream of Red Mansions"!
The first of the four famous books!
According to Du Niang's evaluation: "Dream of Red Mansions" is a human love novel with world influence, recognized by the world as the pinnacle of Chinese classical novels, an encyclopedia of Chinese feudal society, and a collection of traditional culture.
Most people mention the three East Asian countries, RB has "The Tale of Genji", China has "Dream of the Red Chamber", South Korea, uh, does "The Legend of Haruka" count?
To be able to participate in such a great work, this is an opportunity for celebrity film history!
It's just that the husky said that "Dream of Red Mansions" is Li Shaohong's Waterloo, and since then, Rong Xingda and Li Shaohong have never come up with amazing works, and once drummed up the thunder drama - "Hundreds of Millions of Heirs"!
But now, the entire entertainment industry is staring at "Red Mansion"...
Yang Mi is certainly no exception!
Seeing that Lu Xiaoran seemed to have no idea, Yang Mi was a little anxious: "You don't want to audition, do you?"
“... No one let me audition, and I know my image myself, costume dramas, it's okay to play a chivalrous man with a sword, "Dream of Red Mansions" doesn't match my aura..."
Hearing this, Yang Mi looked at him seriously, and then nodded: "That's right, I also heard that several producers are going to do a Red Mansion draft, and I don't know how to choose..."
"You're going to participate too?"
"Of course I want to participate, but Sister Zeng has already told me, my problem is not big..."
"Then I wish you success!"
“... What kind of accomplishment," Yang Mi sighed, and then kicked him with her foot: "Have you watched "The Door"?"
“... It's not too late yet, how's it going?"
"It's very bad, I will definitely pay this time, I knew I was going to play "Stone" with you!"
As a work of commercial transformation, "The Door" is obviously an unqualified work, and it was released on a small scale, and both word-of-mouth and box office were smashed...
The production cost was as high as 30 million, and the box office did not reach 8 million.
No matter how you do it, you can't escape two words: blood loss!
"I'm lucky, and you definitely can't read the script of "Stone"..."
"Why can't I see it?"
"The crew has no money," halfway through speaking, Lu Xiaoran's mobile phone rang, and he glanced at the caller ID, 'Jiang is the director', and Lu Xiaoran answered: "Director, what's wrong?"
"Meet??"
“... Okay, I'll go right away!"
Hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoran got up: "I have to go to see someone, let's go first!"
“... Who is in such a hurry?"
"Sun Honglei!"
Yang Mi watched Lu Xiaoran leave with a little doubt, Sun Honglei, of course she knew, but how could he and Lu Xiaoran intersect?
