Chapter 35: May
Zhang Hongzhen asked this question, not really to let Lu Xiaoran participate in the casting, but just to ask him to provide a few candidates...
Dongyang Qingyu doesn't have any actresses who often work together, and several directors don't have any natal goddesses, the casting is based on the role itself, Mei Ting, Che Xiao, Zeng Li, including Zhang Xinyi, have all cooperated...
Lu Xiaoran was really telling the truth at the beginning, he really didn't think about it...
The husky said that it was originally starring Guo Furong, and he thought it was quite suitable, and when he heard that Guo Nuxia later transformed into a virgin, he suddenly felt a little disgusting...
"I don't really have the right fit... Or, audition!"
Zhang Hongzhen thought for a while: "... Okay, a few more chapters of water!"
"Yes!"
Lu Xiaoran nodded, without any embarrassment...
Originally, a role like Cui Ping is very demanding:
Big grin, straightforward personality and coarse and fine, love and hate clearly...
Such a role is obviously a drama guarantor, there must be many actresses who want to play, hold an audition when the time comes, and by the way, promote "Latent"...
The script has not yet been fully formed, the project has not yet been submitted for review, except for Yu Zecheng, who is sure to be Lu Xiaoran, the images of several other actors are not yet plump, and it is too early to talk about casting!
"By the way, Brother Zhang, can you leave the role of Zuo Lan to me?"
“… No problem!"
Zhang Hongzhen didn't think about it, and agreed directly...
The male number one wants to stuff an actress, it's too normal.
Lu Xiaoran wanted to return the favor, after all, Wang Luodan introduced him to star in "Struggle"...
"Thank you very much!"
Dongyang Qingyu didn't say in terms of casting that "Latent" belongs to the main drama - there is no idol spy war drama in these years.
The actors who are looking for must be actors with excellent acting skills, and they may even be the drama bones in the audience's mouth.
Zhang Hongzhen is really good at being a man.
The meal didn't end until ten o'clock in the evening, and Lu Xiaoran was going to take a taxi to return, but Zhang Hongzhen insisted on sending it, although it was a trivial matter, but it made Lu Xiaoran a little moved...
I have to admit that at this stage, in addition to money, what is more important is personal cultivation!
Li Ming, the boss of Pony Penten, met Ning Hao, and the two chatted for an afternoon, and then Ning Hao decided to sign a contract with Pony Benteng...
It's like in later generations, Boss Ma waved money, and then was cheated for several years in a row...
It's not so much that I'm impressed by his charm, it's really because of the power of the yuan!
……
As an actor, not everyone can become an existence like Uncle Ge, as long as he shows his face in a movie or TV series, the audience will clearly find him.
Not only because of his fame, but also because the characters he creates have a trait that is hard to forget.
Jiang Wen has a mouth, even if he laughs, he can make people feel that he is domineering;
The humor of Uncle Ge's face makes everyone who sees him unforgettable!
Even if you don't even have to say your lines, just showing your face will be used as the main publicity channel.
That's the top actors!
Of course, Lu Xiaoran also wants to be such an actor!
This group of people has their own fixed clusters, or the reputation has been opened - as long as they participate, the representative work itself will not be bad...
Cultivating a top actor is difficult.
It doesn't happen overnight.
needs a bunch of good works to feed, so the Beijing circle has only now given birth to no more than a finger of top actors, and Gong Li has become the first Gong Huang in the mainland to become internationally renowned by relying on the joint cultivation of the fifth generation of directors!
These require resources...
What does Lu Xiaoran have?
No one wants to praise him, and, how to say, the scripts on the market, he really doesn't like them.
He doesn't like costumes, and he doesn't understand the point of a group of people hanging Weiya and fighting around;
I don't like mother-in-law dramas, I don't understand why there are so many mother-in-law and daughter-in-law contradictions in this world...
However, as an industry professional, he knows very well that there must be contradictions and confrontations between good and evil in dramas, otherwise, how can it cause discussion, resonance, and create hot spots?
The book "Latent" satisfies this, or the spy war drama itself satisfies these:
First of all, identity: agent, lurking inside the military system, you are surrounded by enemies, so the only one who can be trusted is yourself.
In terms of personality, he had ideals and ambitions, but he was crushed by the reality of corruption in the military and turned to the arms of our party.
You have to remember that all you can do is to try to protect yourself and fight the enemy on the premise of protecting yourself.
Your character is very meticulous and methodical, not doing anything that you are not sure about, and you do not let go of any small details.
This kind of character with a needle hidden in the cotton is Lu Xiaoran's favorite!
……
In the following month, Lu Xiaoran first discussed the script with Jiang Wei on the phone, and later, he simply went to Jiang Wei's studio and directly served as the screenwriter...
"I think Cui Ping should be revised, the audience must like her, she can be straightforward and cute, but she must not be vulgar!"
"I also think so, the original book is vulgar, a rural who smokes dry cigarettes and a mouthful of yellow teeth, such an image, the audience will not sympathize with her, and she will not be allowed to fall in love with Yu Zecheng, who is polite and capable!"
“… In fact, she can be set up to be funny, some vulgar and uninformed, it has become a kind of cuteness, she is just picky, straightforward, grinning, with a firm revolutionary will, of course, she also has a little woman's side, she also likes to have love, although she doesn't know what love is..."
"And the villain..."
"Ma Kui is insidious and brave, Lu Qiaoshan is deeply hidden, Li Ya is dedicated to the country, and the stationmaster is cunning, and the character labels of these people cannot be left behind!"
"Yes..."
"I'll look at what you wrote, yo, it's very good!"
Lu Xiaoran is in charge of the stationmaster's lines - the husky is most impressed by the stationmaster, and this golden sentence continues...
'Emei Peak, still stepping on the horse?"
'Take the head out of the heel and use it again!'
"Your senior insider named Liu Shan is now chopping sugar cane in Taiwan."
'Secret Going?' Is there such a secret going on a horse?"
', can that stupid woman be a member of the Communist Party?'
"Today's Tianjin Station is like a bitch, anyone can use it!"
Throughout May, Lu Xiaoran was cooperating with Jiang Wei to write the script...
Learned a lot!
Jiang Wei's writing skills are really deep, the lines he sets are extremely exquisite, the story of "Latent" itself is wonderful enough, and Jiang Wei's script makes the story itself to a higher level...
In fact, script creation is inseparable from three aspects: story, structure, and logic.
Why are American dramas so powerful?
People have done the ultimate in all three aspects, and by the way, suspense will be set up, and there is suspense in every episode, of course, after that, it was a little overdone, suspense for the sake of suspense - "Westworld" came out and was beaten!
Domestic film and television dramas, what they are best at is to save stories according to a few stalks!
Lu Xiaoran estimates that it is impossible to reach Jiang Wei's level in this life - creating this kind of thing really depends on talent, some writers can write 20,000 words a day, and some can write 4,000 words a day, and they feel that they are very awesome...
"Thank you, Brother Li, you will definitely cooperate if you have the opportunity..."
Lu Xiaoran hung up the phone, and then smiled apologetically at Jiang Wei, who looked up: "This is the fifth invitation you have declined!"
“… It's all a little supporting role, so if you refuse, you can refuse!"
This month, many directors who had worked with him before called Lu Xiaoran and wanted to introduce him to the role, but he refused.
Jiang Wei shook his head: "The role has nothing to do with the size..."
"I don't want to learn more from you..."
"Flim Flam!"
"Hehe..."
Lu Xiaoran smiled, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "Mr. Jiang, the movie starring me will premiere tomorrow, if you have time, can you help hold a scene?"
