Chapter 34: Choice
In other words, Director Yang Fan chooses a role, just one standard, appearance!
At the beginning, he asked Takuya Kimura to act, because the staff always held Kimura's photo album and licked the screen, so he recommended Takuya Kimura to Wang Jiawei, who asked him to star in "2046"...
The biggest reason for choosing Wu Yan's group is also because the other party is handsome!
Facts have proved that as long as his face is good-looking, he is an honor student in Yang Fan.
According to the original plan, the actor Xing Zhigang will definitely find Wu Yanzu, but Liu Zhenwei recommended an actor to him, named Chen Dong...
Frankly speaking, after looking at the photos, Yang Fan was a little moved, after the artistically processed photos, Chen Dong looked heroic, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes...
Not that kind of soft beauty, with one is aggressive!
In his script, Xing Zhigang is very masculine, so as to neutralize the woman's overly feminine tone...
Moreover, in comparison, Chen Dong's appearance is more oriental.
Liu Zhenwei saw that Yang Fan was hesitant, so he added a fire: "I have already found out, this actor's name is Chen Dong, and she has a good relationship with Xi'an Film Studio, and she also has a film investment company!"
"Your movie is definitely going to make money, and choosing a mainland actor can be regarded as making friends with the mainland market... The road ahead will be easy to walk. ”
"Even if you don't want to use him, it's okay to call him over for an audition!"
It must be said that at this stage, Hong Kong and Taiwan directors are not very optimistic about the mainland market, and they feel awkward - because to make movies in the mainland, they must obtain a shooting license issued by the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television.
They used to make movies, not to mention the license, and no one cared about them at all!
It can't be said that no one cares, they have the Hong Kong Film and Television Department, which is responsible for grading all the films...
Now that Hong Kong has returned to the motherland, all filmmakers know that the mainland is the future.
If you can make friends, you can't do it!
Therefore, he agreed to let Chen Dong come over for the audition, and the date was set for March 25th...
……
After receiving the notice from his sister, Chen Dong hurried back to the company.
After seeing the detailed audition invitation, Chen Dong was stunned...
“… Audition on the 25th? That's the day after tomorrow, but I'm going to audition for "The Sky of History" tomorrow..."
The audition the day after tomorrow, which means that I have to leave for Hong Kong tomorrow, then "The Sky of History" will definitely be out of play...
“… It's not just the audition, I inquired clearly that the filming time of "Dream in the Garden" is in August, and the filming time of these two dramas is conflicting, and you have to give up one!"
"So...," Chen Dong asked rhetorically.
“… I think you still want to go to Hong Kong!"
Chen Dong was anxious: "Give up "The Sky of History"? That's an adaptation of the Mao Dun Literature Award!"
Chen Yun glanced at him, and took a moment: "You don't want to cooperate with Wang Guxian?"
Directly asked Chen Dong...
Of course he wants to cooperate with Wang Guxian, that's Wang Guxian...
Dream lover level, if you can really cooperate with her, it can be regarded as the end of two lifetimes' wishes...
But...
Is Director Yang Fan really willing to use him?
Chen Dong shook his head decisively, leaving unrealistic ideas behind: "That's not the case, I have a great chance in "The Sky of History", and I am just one of the audition actors in "Dream in the Garden"..."
From the perspective of probability, the probability of Chen Dong being selected for "Dream in the Garden" is much lower than that of "The Sky of History".
After all, in terms of casting of "The Sky of History", the actors of the National Theater dominate - this TV series is Li Ming's first attempt to produce a TV series, and he chose a work with a heavy theme like "The Sky of History", so everything is left to the professionals...
The premise is that Chen Dong must participate in the audition, and if he doesn't show up tomorrow, it means that he will automatically give up!
He gave up not only the role, but also the cultivation of Vice Dean Zhao Youliang for her...
In fact, Chen Dong took the time to study the script and the original book of "The Sky of History" some time ago, and the role he auditioned for was called Wangu Bei, not the male number three as he imagined before, but the villain throughout the series, spanning from 20 to 60 years old, and it is very difficult to interpret.
If you do it well enough, you have a good chance to become a masterpiece of your career as an actor!
Masterpiece, how many roles can an actor encounter in his life that can be called a masterpiece?
If you are shameless enough, you can even become the spokesperson of this role, with the final right to explain, and whoever meddles indiscriminately can scold him on TV and leave a bunch of famous sayings for the ages, such as 'Jokes are not nonsense, adaptations are not random fabrications!' …
Ahem...
But if he goes to "The Sky of History", then "Dream Garden" will be completely out of play...
It is impossible for Director Yang Fan to give the role to an actor who doesn't even come to the audition!
In the same way, "The Sky of History" is the same...
Of course, Chen Yun also thought about this question, so she asked: "Don't you want to develop in film?"
“… Yes, I'd love to make a movie, but... I didn't even get the script for "Dreamy Garden", and you asked me to audition?"
"I'm your agent, not your nanny, how you want to choose, you make your own decisions, anyway, my opinion is to go all out for "Dream Garden". Chen Yun calmly took out a Hong Kong and Macao pass and put it on the table: "This is your pass, whether you need it or not, it's up to you!"
With a few words, Chen Yun left the office...
……
Prince Ma once said: The success or failure of life is often not related to hard work, but only to the key choices at critical moments!
This statement is of course problematic!
Yes, life is full of uncertainties, but that doesn't mean life is speculation.
Choice determines success or failure, and hard work also determines success or failure.
If you make the wrong choice, you will fail, but if you give up the effort, you will not even have a chance to choose. Only with hard work and dedication can you be qualified to make key choices at critical moments.
In Chen Dong's view, what he is facing now is a choice in life.
In fact, if you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, Chen Dong should certainly choose "The Sky of History" instead of going to Hong Kong to pursue the role that is more likely to fail...
"Dream in the Garden" is not a very classic work, director Yang Fan is not a master after all, later generations commented on "Dream in the Garden": the gorgeous background, the glamorous actors, and the dense atmosphere have become a grand and extravagant obscenity, but it's a pity that it has a good skin...
What about "The Sky of History"?
is a TV series that can be called a classic...
But Chen Dong himself doesn't know this...
Yuan time and space, he is a post-85 generation, obsessed with Hong Kong movies, obsessed with the golden age of Hong Kong actors.
Now that I have the opportunity to work with them, a fool knows how to choose!
So, after a little struggle, he dialed Dean Zhao Youliang's mobile phone and said that he was going to audition in Hong Kong, and the latter expressed his understanding and support for his decision...
