Chapter 259: Determining the Role

April was spent in such a dull way, Fang Qi often paid attention to Chen Shiqian's situation in his spare time, Shiqian's musical talent is very strong, and after she came into contact with the entertainment industry, she began to release her potential infinitely, and began to show her edge from a small variety show, and in a month's time, she first debuted, released albums, and appeared on large-scale variety shows, which quickly appeared in the eyes of the audience.

And because he himself spent a month in a low-key manner, the public gradually forgot about him, and only occasionally talked about his previous glory, but it was also passed by. In today's era of information explosion, there is a huge amount of information every day, and no matter how much you have made a move before, it will be overshadowed by other things when the time comes

Fang Qi was also happy like this, in early May, as usual, Chen Shiqian simply cleaned up her makeup and prepared to go out.

"Now, I'm going to the company, I have a show to go on tonight, so I can't come back to accompany you. ”

"Stay safe. ”

"Got it. Chen Shiqian smiled sweetly, put on her shoes and went out.

After Chen Shiqian left, Fang Qi stayed in the study to read, now his biggest hobby is reading, reading books will not be endless, the endless knowledge allows him to find a thing to pass the time, sometimes he often feels distressed, it is easy to do anything with super double, and it is not always a good thing, he now finally understands the true meaning of the phrase "high place is unbearable".

Fang Qi, who was immersed in the book, completely forgot the concept of time, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring outside, he put down the book and looked out of the door, secretly wondering, he didn't order takeout or anything, could it be that Shi Qian is back?

While thinking, he walked to the door, did not rush to open the door, looked at the outside world through the cat's eyes, and saw a big pie face appear in front of him, and his heart was startled, thinking that this person had nothing to do, why did he get so close, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Feng Xiaogang and Feng Dao. When I thought about it, I had to open the door.

Feng Xiaogang outside the door was about to knock on the door again when the door quietly opened, Fang Qi's figure appeared, he raised his hand to the air, looked at Fang Qi's somewhat ugly face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, suddenly come to bother, don't be surprised, I can't get through to your phone, so I can only come to you in person." ”

Fang Qi was stunned, picked up the mobile phone and looked, sure enough, there were many missed calls, and there were a lot of new messages in WeChat.

After thinking about it in his heart, he probably guessed the purpose of Feng Xiaogang's coming, so he said, "Let's talk about something when I come in." ”

After Feng Xiaogang entered the door, he said half-jokingly and half-complainingly: "Mr. Fang's home is really big, a whole floor, I asked the property and I don't know where Mr. Fang lives, I can only knock on the door one room by one, hey." ”

Fang Qi poured a cup of boiling water for Feng Xiaogang and asked, "What is Director Feng here for?"

"Oh, that's right, the movie about the Three Kingdoms that Mr. Fang said has been planned, and the script has also been produced by Lu Wei, a first-class screenwriter in China. ”

"Reed?" Fang Qi asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's the screenwriter of Reed?What's the matter, doesn't Mr. Fang like this screenwriter?" Feng Xiaogang asked with a slight frown.

Fang Qi shook his head, and when he looked up again, his eyes had a strong brilliance: "It's not that I don't like it, but I like it too much, my favorite screenwriter in China is Lu Wei, and his screenplay "Alive" and "Farewell My Concubine" are my favorite movies, especially "Farewell My Concubine", which is my favorite movie, not one." ”

He sighed so much that he brushed the movie "Farewell to the Overlord" no less than 10 times, and every time he watched it, he had a new harvest, and every character in the movie was also vivid and classic, which can be called the pinnacle of Chinese movies. And this is not what he boasted about, the movie "Farewell to the Overlord" scored 9.6 on Douban, ranking second, and it is the only Chinese movie in the top ten.

And this movie was shot more than 20 years ago, I thought it was just the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be the peak, he also saw that for more than 20 years Chinese movies have not appeared in a movie as world-famous as "Farewell My Concubine", so he gave birth to the idea of making a movie by himself, how can our dignified Greater China movies lose to foreign countries?

Fang Qi looked at Feng Xiaogang with clear eyes and asked, "Director Feng, where is the screenwriter Lu Wei now?"

"Reed, he left Kyoto after making the script, and I didn't ask where he went, so why don't I ask you now?"

Fang Qi shook his head again and said: "No need, don't bother the other party, I can't ruin the other party's life because of my own selfishness, it's my fault." ”

Feng Xiaogang took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he was carrying, handed them to Fang Qi and said: "This is the script created by Lu Wei, in fact, he had already had the idea of creating a movie about the Three Kingdoms before, and it can be regarded as a matter of course at this time." Don't say it, this guy Reed is really not crazy and can't survive, locked himself in his room for a whole month, and finally wrote this script, I think he's gone home to make up for sleep now. ”

Fang Qi took the script and read it.

"Don't you know, when the reed first came out, his eyes were red and his hair was messy, and he looked like a beggar. I still know him, and I will never agree if I don't create a satisfactory plot. ”

The name of this movie is called "Three Kingdoms", and the plot is also based on the famous novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which tells the story of the mediocrity of the royal family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the people changed their children and ate, and the heroes rose together.

Just read the script briefly, Fang Qi was deeply attracted by the plot, of course, in addition to the plot is a major feature, there is also an unexpected surprise for him, that is, the meaning expressed through the script, this movie is not just a historical theme, it is even mixed with fantasy themes, the war scenes shuttling in the plot, the fights of military generals, etc., are all enlarged on the original basis, which really amazes him in front of him.

He slowly closed the script, the fire in his heart could not be subsided for a long time, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Feng, is the actor confirmed? What role do I play in it?"

"The cast list is being made, and the actors' words are only partially determined, and the rest is still being screened. Feng Xiaogang paused for a moment, and then said: "I don't know what role Mr. Fang wants to play?" ”

Fang Qi touched his chin and pondered, after reading the script, he found that there is actually no absolute protagonist in it, it can be said that every character is the protagonist, and this is also in line with the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms. After thinking about it for a long time, he excluded the two roles of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, both of which were relatively old at the beginning, that is, the more stable and scheming kind, if he played it himself, no matter how good his acting skills were, it would be a little worse after all, so he couldn't play these two roles.

Picking and choosing, he finally set his sights on three characters, Sun Jian, Lu Bu and Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. The reason why I like these three roles is because these three roles are key roles in the movie, which ensures that the scenes are absolutely sufficient, and first satisfies his desire to film.

After satisfying this condition, he screened again, and the first one passed Liu Xie, this straw bag emperor who was a puppet from beginning to end, it would be too aggrieved to act by himself, so only Sun Jian and Lu Bu would be left.

Between these two roles, he never couldn't weigh it, so he asked Feng Xiaogang on the side: "Director Feng, I love the two roles of Lu Bu and Sun Jian, I really can't make a decision, otherwise you can give me an idea?"

"Lu Bu and Sun Jian are both males, each with their own merits, and it is impossible to say who is good and who is bad. ”

Feng Xiaogang looked at his nose and nose, and what he said was like a fart, whether he said it or not, he was doing Tai Chi, and he didn't do this kind of thing that offended people. I made a decision for the other party, in case the other party regrets it afterwards, it is not myself who is to blame, this kind of thankless thing, do less, no, it is resolutely not to do.

Fang Qi saw that the other party was playing Tai Chi, and he was not annoyed, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and after thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision, and said: "I have decided, I will play Lu Bu!"

The reason why he chose Lu Bu instead of Sun Jian was not because he preferred the role of Lu Bu, on the contrary, he preferred Sun Jian, a man from the Three Kingdoms. It's just that Lu Bu, as the absolute combat force in the movie, can be said to be the absolute villain in the movie, and if he plays Lu Bu, it will definitely be more challenging, and he likes this kind of challenging thing.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have the challenge of playing Sun Jian, but because he himself likes Sun Jian very much, and he has a deep understanding of Sun Jian, so he will be more handy when he acts, because he knows enough and likes it enough.

Feng Xiaogang secretly weighed Fang Qi, thought about it carefully, and thought that Fang Qi could indeed play Lu Bu. First of all, Fang Qi, as the boss of Fang's Group, has developed a momentum of not being angry and self-imposing, and he is also more than 1.8 meters tall, with a resolute face, not to mention the tendons and flesh of his body, just sitting in front of him, he feels a burst of momentum coming, and he is definitely ruthless. If Fang Qi plays Lu Bu, it is really suitable.

So he said: "Mr. Fang is naturally the best to play Lu Bu, since this is the case, then I will go first?" There are still many things to be done by the director team, and I must hurry back as soon as possible." ”

"If Mr. Feng has something to do, let's go, but I still have one more thing to say, that is, after the cast list is determined, I have to take a look, and there can't be a little fresh meat in it. ”

For the quality of the movie, he also put a lot of effort into it, not that he looks down on Xiao Xianrou, or has colored glasses for Xiao Xianrou, but he is really scared of the other party's spicy eyes, he doesn't want to work hard to plan a movie, and as a result, a certain Xiao Xianrou will ruin the whole movie.

"Mr. Fang rest assured, this movie is all starred in old drama bones, and the little fresh meat will not appear, you can rest assured. As soon as I said this, I was reminded of one more thing. Feng Xiaogang glanced at Fang Qi, and finally said: "Mr. Fang, making movies is not something that can be achieved overnight, it is often a year or two, during which we may have to travel to several places, and we will also encounter many difficulties and obstacles. ”

Hearing this, Fang Qi knew what the other party was going to say, raised his hand to stop it: "You can rest assured of this, I am no different from an ordinary actor in terms of hardship." I can start from scratch and climb to this point, do you think I'm a person who can't endure hardship?".

Feng Xiaogang was stunned, smiled bitterly and said apologetically: "It's me who is too careful." ”

Afterwards, Feng Xiaogang said goodbye to Fang Qi. After Fang Qi saw the other party leave, he sat on the sofa for a long time and couldn't calm the fire in his heart......
