182. Role determination (6000 words, ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass!)
Chinese opera dormitory.
Chang Yue and the others circled around She Yueling, and the anxious look on their faces was very obvious.
"Lingling, what inside information do you have, tell me quickly. ”
"yes, it's time for you to stop teasing us. ”
She Yueling looked at the anxious expressions of her roommates, and she didn't tease them anymore, and said with a smile: "I just went to Jingwumen a few days ago, and quietly chatted with a few teachers who supplemented the script for a while, and I knew some information.
In this script, there are several female characters who are more outstanding, and they also have their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of personality, and there are many shots, so I thought we would develop towards these characters. ”
"Then tell us quickly, can't you have a big dinner in the evening? Hearing She Yueling say this, Chang Yue and the others were immediately overjoyed.
"Haha, that's decided, I'll tell you about the characters in it.........." She Yueling told them all the news she had heard.
And when She Yueling and the others were preparing, Xu Shi's side also started the official casting.
This casting is temporarily closed to the public, and only when the people on the side of Jingwumen are really unsuitable, will they go to find outside actors.
"Brother Xu, are you sure you will play the role of Xiongba?" asked Zhang Kui.
Although he is not a director this time, he also serves as an assistant director in the crew, mainly responsible for the transfer of the crew, which can be regarded as accumulating experience.
There is also to help select some actors, help some actors to talk about plays, and he needs to help him with the work that can be done basically anyway.
Han Shang is not responsible for these things for the time being, but Xu Shi didn't really let him care about anything, and if there is a delay in filming, he can also have a certain right to decide.
Han Shang also looked at Xu Shi with some surprise at this time, he didn't expect Xu Shi to choose the role of Xiongba.
You must know that Fengyun is the protagonist in this TV series, and Xiongba is just a supporting role.
Xu Shi nodded and said: "It's Xiongba, and don't underestimate the role of Xiongba, speaking of which in this TV series, Xiongba may be the protagonist, because everything revolves around Xiongba, and without Xiongba, there would be no drama." ”
This is also Xu Shi's choice after careful consideration, because he knows that the main purpose of this TV series is to train the company's actors, and this TV series will help him very little.
However, because he has to support the TV series, Xu Shi also needs to play a more important role in it, and it is most appropriate to choose and choose the hero.
As for age, with the current makeup technology and post-production, there is basically no problem at all.
"Then do you have any requirements for other characters, Brother Xu? Do Mingjie and Xiaoxiao also have the same role this time?" Zhang Kui asked again.
According to Xu Shi's original idea, he is not going to let Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao go to this TV series, after all, they are still in school and there is still a lot to learn.
But after talking to Liu Yan for a while, he changed his mind, and Liu Yan didn't say anything, anyway, it was just one meaning, to become famous early.
Now Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao are in a critical period to consolidate their fame, and they can't slack off because of other things, which is not good for their development.
If there is no work for a long time, it will also cause a lot of fans to lose.
You must know that although Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao are acting schools, because of their outstanding appearance, they also have quite a lot of fans in the traffic area.
These fans make up a sizable portion of their fandom, so it's important to take it seriously.
To give a simple example, the last time "Hacker" was released, Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao said in their fan base, hoping that everyone would support "Hacker".
In the end, according to statistics, the fans of the two of them contributed almost three million to the box office of "Hackers".
When he talked to Xu Shi at that time, Xu Shi was stunned, he really didn't expect these fans to have such strong combat effectiveness.
Especially when he knows that these fans still have various task assignments, and they also make career plans for actors, many of which are more detailed than the company's planning, or even more professional.
Xu Shi was stunned when he heard it, and he almost couldn't believe his ears, are the current fans so crazy?
The corn side also gave a certain career plan for the two, even if they don't participate in the filming of "Fengyun" this time, they will have other tasks.
Xu Shi thought about it, instead of letting them shoot other TV series, it was better to come to his own side, at least he was still very confident in this TV series.
Xu Mingjie plays the role of Bu Jingyun this time, and Xu Xiaoxiao is the role of the second dream, but when the time comes, it still depends on whether they are suitable or not, if they really can't do it, they will not be forced to play. Xu Shi said.
The reason why Xu Mingjie chose the role of Bu Jingyun is also to break through his previous impression on the audience, not as a sunny boy, but as a cold-faced grim reaper.
Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to perform an emotional drama because she wanted to perform a love scene, and the emotional scene of the second dream was just suitable, there were no intimate scenes, some were just experiences and inner monologues.
Zhang Kui and Han Shang both said that they understood, but they also knew in their hearts that as long as the two of them performed similarly, they would basically not be defeated.
Then there is another protagonist, that is Nie Feng, this is a very popular protagonist, both in terms of personality and other aspects.
If nothing else, it should be Cheng Dapeng to play.
This is not only clear to the two of them, but also to Zhao Gang, who is a member of the Jingwu Sect, and there is nothing unconvincing about them, and Cheng Dapeng has already proven himself in front.
And Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao have no opinions, first, they are Xu Shi's relatives, and second, they also helped too much when Jingwumen was just established, so no one can say anything.
Even after these main characters, there are a lot of great characters waiting for them left.
Broken waves, Qin Shuang, hero sword, etc., etc.
This time, the company's internal casting is divided into two parts, the first is acting, and the acting skills need to be passed before they can enter the next round.
Now Jingwumen is no longer what it was at the beginning, because they all entered the company from extras, and their acting skills are almost the same.
Now there are professional teachers in the company who teach every day, and if you want to improve and want to learn, you can learn at any time, which also makes a distinction in acting.
When the acting skills are qualified, the competition will be selected, which is also a feature of Jingwumen.
There is no other insider, and there are no conditions, as long as your acting skills are in place, then whoever has high kung fu will be on it.
The next internal casting is proceeding in an orderly manner, and everyone is ready because the company has already notified it.
At the end of August, the company's internal casting was finalized.
Xu Shi plays Xiongba, Xu Mingjie plays Bu Jingyun, Cheng Dapeng plays Nie Feng, Xu Xiaoxiao plays Second Dream, Zhao Gang plays Qin Shuang, and Tong Dawu plays Broken Waves.........
There are still some female characters left, and She Yueling really surprised Xu Shi in this regard.
Xu Shi really didn't expect a few of her roommates to be so powerful.
In terms of acting, since they have been studying in school for a year, it is basically not a problem.
There is also the aspect of playing, several girls have really put in a lot of hard work, at least in Xu Shi's opinion, they are barely qualified.
In the absence of other strong contenders, several were chosen.
She Yueling plays Yu Chuchu, Chang Yue plays Nian Ci, Tao Mengyu plays Mingyue, and Zhang Yuehan plays Youruo.
This result made Chang Yue and the others excited, and they didn't expect all of them to succeed.
"Lingling, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for your inside information and help, we wouldn't have succeeded in getting the role. Chang Yue said excitedly.
"Yes, Lingling, it's really lucky to have a friend like you, thank you. Tao Mengyu sincerely thanked.
"Hehe, if you want to thank me, invite me to dinner, by the way, I hope you won't blame me in the future, Senior Brother Xu is very strict with his requirements for playing, don't cry when the time comes. She Yueling reminded.
"Don't worry, we can endure hardships, such an opportunity is rare, and we will never give it up. Chang Yue said confidently.
"Okay, you guys go back first, I still have to go to Jingwumen here, and I signed my contract. She Yueling said.
Hearing her say this, Chang Yue and the others asked with some surprise, "Are you really ready to sign a contract with Jingwumen?"
I'm not saying that Jingwumen is bad, it's just that it has only just been established for a short time after all, and it doesn't seem to be a good choice in terms of resources or others. ”
She also considered She Yueling, after all, from their point of view, Xu Shi's Jingwumen was indeed not a good choice.
Don't you see that the people who sign Jingwumen now are some of the original extras, and there are very few people who are from a professional class or a little famous who sign with Jingwumen.
Now Xu Shi has two very good movies, and they have also become popular with a few people, but in comparison, their strength is still a little weak.
Not to mention anything else, even in terms of network resources, it is more than a step behind.
There are also invitations to various variety shows, and there are very few resources in many aspects, which is really not a good choice for them from professional backgrounds.
She Yueling had indeed made up her mind, "It is the best choice for me to join Jingwumen, Senior Brother Xu will definitely take care of me, and there is absolutely no pickling in other companies in Jingwumen, just on this basis, I will also choose Jingwumen." ”
After saying this, She Yueling looked at the three roommates seriously and said: "Everyone is an insider and knows the situation in the circle, so I won't say much about the excess, I can only say that relatively speaking, resources can be found slowly, but a quiet and stable environment is very important." ”
Everyone could understand her subconscious, but Chang Yue and the three of them still didn't speak.
Now it's not the same as before, in the past, everyone may have just had a longing for the entertainment industry, thinking that this is a paradise on earth, but now that the Internet is so developed, it is natural to know some of the situations inside.
They want to be famous and want to be beautiful, but in fact, deep down they already have some preparations.
Seeing their appearance, She Yueling didn't persuade anything, anyway, the path was chosen by herself, and she wouldn't interfere too much, which would not delay the friendship between them.
When She Yueling came to Jingwumen again, Xu Shi was already waiting for her.
"I'm not a good choice for those of you who come from a school. Xu Shi said with a smile.
She Yueling replied seriously: "It's decided, I want a relatively clean environment, and Jingwumen is my best choice." ”
After finishing speaking, her face became grinning again: "And isn't there still Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Xu will definitely take care of me." ”
Xu Shi shook his head helplessly when he saw her appearance and said: "Okay, anyway, you can leave at any time if you want to, and I won't sign any strict contracts with you here, just sign it once a year, and there will be no liquidated damages." ”
Xu Shi's conditions for She Yueling are very generous, not for anything else, but to repay Master She's kindness, it is worth him to do this.
She Yueling also knew that Xu Shi was for her good, but she still said seriously: "Senior Brother Xu, don't do this, everything is in accordance with the formal contract." ”
Xu Shi waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say much, let's do this first, if you feel that you have a future in Jingwumen and your job is smooth, then talk about it, give you two years to experience it first, anyway, you are only a sophomore now, and you will think about it carefully after you graduate." ”
Xu Shi also knew what Jingwumen lacked now, don't look at the scenery now, but it was just walking on one leg, and it was not stable to walk, so he didn't want to tie She Yueling to his car.
After solving She Yueling's matter, Xu Shi took the crew members to Hengdian.
When he arrived in Hengdian again, he had a feeling that things were wrong.
Thinking about it at the beginning, he just came to Hengdian to help take care of Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao, but he didn't expect that he had also entered the entertainment industry, and it seemed that he was okay, and they all won an actor.
This time, Xu Shi is still ready to rent two small courtyards, but the small courtyard last time has been rented by others, and the price is relatively high.
Since Xu Shi is now famous, the small courtyard he rented for the first time was also publicized by the landlord.
Xu Shi can be regarded as walking out of the Hengdian group performance, although he has not experienced a group performance, but he was also in Hengdian at the beginning of acting, so he can barely be regarded as a group performance.
"Let's go and prepare first, and the filming will officially start the day after tomorrow. After Xu Shi finished talking to everyone, he let them all disperse.
Cheng Dapeng and these people went to chat with some old friends, they had been in Hengdian for a long time, and they were very familiar with this place, and there were many people they knew.
However, at this time, their identities are different, especially the current Cheng Dapeng, who can barely be regarded as a star.
When Cheng Dapeng called to inform those friends of the previous party, they all agreed very happily.
Now none of them want to have a relationship with Cheng Dapeng, maybe they will be able to become famous with this.
If Xu Shi barely walked out of Hengdian, then Cheng Dapeng went out 100% of the time in Hengdian.
When these people saw Cheng Dapeng again, they saw that his mental outlook was completely different from before, and they also felt a little bad in their hearts.
I think they all lived together in Hengdian at the beginning, doing the same work every day and living the same life.
But what about now?
Cheng Dapeng has become famous, and they are still the same as before, without any changes.
"Brother Peng, you are now a mixed bag, congratulations!" Sun Ting raised her glass and congratulated.
Cheng Dapeng touched a cup with her and said: "I also met a nobleman, otherwise I would not be as good as everyone." ”
"Brother Peng laughed, just because you are so serious when filming, you will come out sooner or later. Someone flattered.
"Yes, Brother Peng has this strength. ”
Listening to the flattery of these people, Cheng Dapeng felt a little helpless in addition to a little bit of joy in his heart.
In fact, he originally came to these friends to catch up and chat, but now it seems that there is a gap between the two sides, and they will not brag and fart as casually as before.
Of course, to say that Cheng Dapeng doesn't have the intention of showing off, it is also nonsense, after all, he is mixed up, so he naturally wants to show off, but it is not so heavy.
"Don't talk about this, everyone drinks, this time I need to stay in Hengdian for a while, and I hope you will take care of it. Cheng Dapeng raised his glass and said.
"It should be Brother Peng who takes care of us. The crowd raised their glasses as they spoke.
After drinking, Sun Ting suddenly said: "Brother Peng, I heard that your company is about to shoot a TV series now, what role are you playing in it this time?"
"It's the leading actor. Cheng Guochao replied.
His words suddenly aroused everyone's envy again, seeing that his former partners have now served as the leading actors in a play, and they are still standing still, it is not a taste in their hearts.
"Brother Peng, are you still short of people? Do you think I can do it?" Sun Ting said and winked at Cheng Dapeng, the meaning was very clear.
Cheng Dapeng acted as if he didn't see it, and said with a wry smile: "This is really not available for the time being, and I don't care about actors, and I can't intervene in this regard." ”
"Brother Peng said with a smile, you are now the leading actor, your company should consider recommending one or two roles, right?" someone said with a smile.
It seems that he is praising Cheng Dapeng, saying that his status is high, but in fact, he is still inquiring about the situation, if Cheng Dapeng nods and says that he has such ability, then they will immediately promote themselves.
Cheng Dapeng said seriously: "I'm really not modest, in fact, everyone knows what my situation is now, to put it bluntly, it's all Brother Xu who is praising me, if there is no Brother Xu, I'm nothing now."
I won't hide it from you, Brother Xu attaches great importance to this drama, and it's not just filmed like everyone imagined.
In the process of this shooting, no one dares to be careless, I can only promise that if there is a chance for a group performance, I will fight for it, but for the rest, I really don't have this ability. ”
Cheng Dapeng also came to help these old friends this time, but as he said, he has no say in other aspects, and he also understands his position, and it is impossible for him to float away now when he has a little fame.
In fact, everyone also knows Cheng Dapeng's situation, but they are even more envious in their hearts.
Cheng Dapeng and them have nothing but martial arts, but just by taking the bus of Xu Shi, they soared into the sky.
Think about it, if I and the others met Xu Shi in advance and took Xu Shi's train, maybe now I would be the same as Cheng Dapeng.
The more I think about it now, the more I regret not being at the beginning.
Cheng Dapeng has already talked about this, and everyone can't say anything more, after all, it will be embarrassing for Cheng Dapeng to talk about it, they won't do such a thing now, and now they can't wait to have a good relationship with Cheng Dapeng.
The meal was a happy meal, but when everyone left, Cheng Dapeng suddenly found that Sun Ting was still waiting for him on the side.
In fact, there are still some thoughts about Sun Ting and Cheng Dapeng when they were in Hengdian, Sun Ting is good-looking, and she is still a college student.
But at that time, he also knew that Sun Ting didn't look down on him at all, so he just kept this thought in his heart and never said it.
Now Sun Ting's purpose for staying here is actually clear in his heart, but at this time, he doesn't have the same mind as before.
repeatedly rejected Sun Ting's 'kindness', Cheng Dapeng took a taxi and left here and returned to the hotel.
In fact, he said in his heart that it was impossible to have no idea, but he knew that it was better for such a thing not to happen.
Although Xu Shi said that he never cared about the private affairs of the company's artists, whether you were in love or had a chaotic private life, he never said anything, nor did he make any hard and fast rules.
But Cheng Dapeng and others know in their hearts that Xu Shi has always had a scale in his heart, and he knows who does well and who does not do well.
Xu Shi will not ask everyone to be a good person, but he will not give a chance to a person with a problematic personality.
Especially Cheng Dapeng understands best that the original purpose of Xu Shi's establishment of the company was not to be able to develop and grow in the entertainment industry, not all of it was to make money.
A large part of the reason is so that those of them who practice martial arts in the entertainment industry can have a home and a place of refuge here.
Xu Shi has always done this, there are roles, and when there is an opportunity, he always considers them as the first time.
Therefore, when Xu Shi helps these people, he will not follow the rules of the entertainment industry, if you are not capable, you will definitely push you if you have the potential to be hot.
Because in Xu Shi's view, this group of them actually represents the group image of their martial arts practitioners.
If this image is ruined because of personal relationships, then Xu Shi will not spare this person.
Cheng Dapeng saw this very clearly, because Xu Shi has always led by example.
With the current status of Xu Shi, if you really want to have a chaotic private life, you can basically beckon.
But Xu Shi has never done this, just to set an example for everyone.
Don't expect everyone to be like him, but don't go too far, just don't discredit their group.
