Chapter 177: From Cottage to Transcendence
Why do you think of old history?
In fact, it is very simple, that is, Wu Xiang knows that the current Liaotai has a good relationship with the Northeast Circle, that is, the leader of Yeluzi, Zhao Bensan and Uncle Zhao!
That's right, at this time period, it's already the end of 02, and Uncle Zhao has cooperated with Liaotai many times, for example, the previous "Liu Laogen", and now the filming of "Ma Dashuai", don't look at the final producer is not Liaotai, but in fact, Liaotai has made a lot of efforts, and it is actually written in that film.
Yes, Wu Xiang thinks that if he goes to find Lao Shi at this time, he should be able to go online with Uncle Zhao, as long as he is online with him, then what Chef Fan, no matter what other people, then there will be no problem.
How did Wu Xiang plan it?
First of all, the robber played by Chef Fan is very brilliant, needless to say, no matter what, Wu Xiang has to bring him under his command, and at this time, Chef Fan is not so deep in his relationship with Hua Yi, and there should be no problem if he intervenes himself.
Besides, that is, Wu Xiang has a bold idea, you know, now that Wu Xiang has been forced to have no room for casting, Uncle Ge will not come to play Uncle Li, so who will play this extremely important Uncle Li?
Wu Xiang thought of one person, that is Zhao Bensan Uncle Zhao!
Why did you think of Zhao Bensan to play Uncle Li?
One is age, Uncle Zhao is really the word 'uncle', and the other is Feng Xiaogang's version of "No Thieves in the World", that Uncle Li has dressed up several kinds of people, the old man, the lame, the blind, yes, this is what Uncle Zhao is good at.
Uncle Zhao's greatest skill is to imitate blind people. On this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that if there is a world ranking, he can be in the top few, Wu Xiang is very clear about this, so he has such an idea.
But you know, this is just Wu Xiang's idea, will it become a reality?
Through the old history, Wu Xiang really contacted Uncle Zhao. At first sight, they talked very happily. As far as Wu Xiang looks at Uncle Zhao, he actually doesn't have much of a shelf, and he is not a person who likes to take the pie so much, but Wu Xiang feels an invisible pressure. Oddly stressed, to be honest.
It's like a mountain. Look far away. It's not a very tall mountain, but it's not easy to climb up to see the whole picture.
This is the feeling that Uncle Zhao gave Wu Xiang, a feeling that is not good, people's attitude is very kind, but there is also a majesty in it. But it's okay. You know, as for Wu Xiang before rebirth, let alone talking to Uncle Zhao, people won't give you this time.
"Xiao Wu. Your idea is very good.,The book is also very good.,I've also read this character.,It's very good.。 But, I really can't act, I really can't act. When it came to the role of Uncle Li, Uncle Zhao politely rejected Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang was unwilling, he knocked on the side and persuaded him a few times, but Uncle Zhao just didn't let go, and in the end, Wu Xiang wanted to die.
"Mr. Zhao, can you tell me why, why don't you want to play this Uncle Li?"
"Hehe...... " Uncle Zhao smiled slightly, and then said with a typical Northeast Mandarin: "This matter, Xiao Wu, don't think about it too much, it's really not for you, it's not for anything else, the main thing is that the character of Uncle Li is a complete villain, he doesn't have anything good, although he speaks, it's very interesting, and there are jokes." However, his nature is too bad, really too bad, I can't act, I really can't help it, I'm sorry. ”
You see, Uncle Zhao is very polite, and this reason is also very good.
Wu Xiang understood as soon as he summed it up, he simply thought about it, Uncle Zhao, who is emotional, has really never played a bad guy, even if it is a few not very good roles, some bad qualities, but they are not the kind that are very bad, like Uncle Li, he is bad, bad to the root, there is really nothing. In this way, Uncle Zhao actually pays attention to his feathers, no wonder he gives Wu Xiang that feeling.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiang also gave up this thought, it seems that he still thinks about it sometimes.
However, things in the world are always very interesting, we have a saying that 'the east does not shine brightly in the west', and there is a saying that crooked nuts say, 'God closes a door, but will always open a window for you'.
"Can I?"
"Of course!"
Wu Xiang couldn't let Zhao Bensan play Uncle Li, but he invited Chef Fan very smoothly, which was very easy.
"Then give me a call when the time comes, you Director Wu will say it, and I will go over immediately. "Chef Fan is so easy to talk about, even Wu Xiang didn't expect it.
This thing was done, and it was done in a smooth way, but after it was done, Wu Xiang had some other thoughts in his heart.
You must know that during this time period, Chef Fan is mixing with Uncle Zhao, to put it mildly, it is Uncle Zhao's horse. But there is that rumor, that is, after acting in the classic sketch "Selling Abduction" last year, Zhao Bensan once took Chef Fan and Gao Xiumin to go to the cave, and got a reward of 420,000 yuan for seven performances, but as a result, he gave Chef Fan 7,000.
In other words, Wu Xiang met someone who was even more slamming than himself.
Okay, Wu Xiang, we have to be a little promising, don't compare with others!
But this also shows the problem, that is, Chef Fan is now in conflict with Uncle Zhao, maybe this contradiction is still a small flame, but a spark can start a prairie fire.
Wu Xiang is thinking about it now, when his film is finished, can he take Chef Fan under his account?
This matter has to be talked about later, Wu Xiang still has to find an actor now. However, when you go back to your hometown and find someone else's old history, will they give you nothing to do?
"Brother Wu, let's talk about it, the second round of broadcast rights of "Networm Diary" will be given to Liaotai, let's cooperate happily!
"!" Wu Xiang also raised his glass, this business is over.
That's right, if you take advantage of other people's connections, then even if it is not negotiated, you still have to do what you should do. For this transaction, in fact, Wu Xiang already knew it in his heart.
But fortunately, Liaotai is not a pure iron rooster. For the second round of broadcast rights of this drama, they gave a price of 5 million for 40 episodes, which can be regarded as Wu Xiang.
"Networm Diary" is about to be released on CCTV 8, but now Wu Xiangdu has sold the second round of broadcast rights, how can this be reasonable?
You must know that many TV dramas are not wanted by TV stations, but you Wu Xiang, hey~ People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.
"Brother Wu, you have made such a big business at such a young age. To be honest, it's really enviable. Anyway, your brother and I, that's really emotional, I think back then, I was also a person who had been in the limelight for a while. I can compare with you, hey~" This business is negotiated. Still on the wine table. Naturally, there were more words.
"Brother Shi, you are too awarded, I really don't have anything, it's really nothing. "Wu Xiang is not modest, he himself understands very well that he is reborn, which takes advantage of the boss.
"Humble. Be modest!" But people don't think so. "By the way, I heard that you are looking for Mr. Zhao to act? What kind of character is that? So powerful?"
"Mr. Zhao didn't agree, he thought that role was too bad, I didn't expect him not to play such a role. "Wu Xiang is very honest.
"That's bad? Mr. Zhao has never played a big villain, he is still a little villain, hahaha. But it's still your brother Wu who has an idea, the role you designed is so bad that Mr. Zhao doesn't want to play it, hahaha...... "This old history is very good at talking, although he is drunk, but it still makes Wu Xiang very comfortable to listen to."
"This character was not designed by me, this character is ......" Wu Xiang originally wanted to say that this character was designed by Feng Xiaogang, but when he said this, he stopped.
Is it because Wu Xiang is embarrassed to say that this is someone else's idea? He wants to take this credit on himself?
No, Wu Xiang is not so small-bellied, the reason why he stopped was that before he said the last few words, he felt like a boom in his head!
What's wrong?
Very simply, Wu Xiang thought of a very, very important thing, that is, the current script of "No Thieves in the World" is Feng Xiaogang's, and it is a script integrated by Feng Xiaogang according to his own resources, not your Wu Xiang's!
Isn't this nonsense? Of course, you didn't make up the script that Wu Xiang bought!
The truth is such a truth, but whose score is placed on Wu Xiang's body, it is different, and there is a problem of mindset involved here.
Don't forget, Wu Xiang is a reborn person, and in his mind, there is a "No Thieves in the World", which is the version of Feng Xiaogang, and he succeeded, and the box office exceeded 100 million, so he had a very natural idea......
As long as you follow this version, you will definitely succeed.
Therefore, all of Wu Xiang's previous casting work actually followed a principle, that is, lean on this classic, and the closer you are, the better!
That's right, it's true.
But don't forget, the current Wu Xiang can't find the actors in Qi Feng Xiaogang's version, at least that Uncle Li can't do it. Uncle Ge's performance is already a classic, if he doesn't act, who can replace him?
Wu Xiang knows very well that if he acts in the style set by Uncle Ge, then no one can surpass Uncle Ge!
To sum up, in fact, this question is very simple, and it is easy for people to understand, but Wu Xiang is a reborn person, and he understands this problem so clearly, because he will consciously or unconsciously lean on that classic.
Even if you find an actor of the same level as Uncle Ge, and even the style is similar, in the end, there is still no way to surpass Uncle Ge, because this qiē is all imitating, and he has not made this classic his own.
Wu Xiang actually suddenly remembered the situation when he talked about 'cottage' with Ma Huateng before, what is the essence of cottage?
It is to take its essence and remove its dross, and the cottage has its own way, otherwise it is just imitation and can never be surpassed...... (To be continued......)
