Chapter 390: Struggle Casting

After He Ling and Jiang Hui talked about "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and "Struggle", they left Jiang Hui's office. She was in advance in Guanghui Film and Television, forming a crew, ready to start at any time.

As for the selection of roles, after Jiang Hui told He Ling some of his requirements, he didn't follow up specifically, just hand it over to He Ling and the director, and let Jiang Hui go through it again after it was finally decided.

He Ling has been very interested in music, dance and other literary and art-related things since she was a child, and Jiang Hui asked her to come to Guanghui Film and Television as the deputy general manager, which is considered to be the right person.

A few days later, Jiang Hui gave He Ling the outline of the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and "Struggle". Jiang Hui has already written out the direction of the storyline and some key points, and let the screenwriting team of Guanghui Film and Television fill in some content for the rest.

At present, although the film and television and drama markets seem to be very lively, they still can't get rid of the dilemma of "screenwriter shortage" and "script shortage". The decline in the originality of screenwriters has become a bottleneck restricting the development and prosperity of the entire screenwriting industry and even the cultural and entertainment industry.

The status of screenwriters in the Celestial Empire has always been low, although there are many of them, but the number of excellent screenwriters is very small. It is impossible for Jiang Hui to provide scripts to Guanghui Film and Television all the time, so in order to solve the problem of the lack of excellent screenwriters, Guanghui Film and Television has set up a screenwriting team internally, imitating the United States, and creating scripts in the form of a team.

In fact, the entire cultural and entertainment industry of the Celestial Empire is in an era of drastic changes, and the screenwriter industry, whether it is a "big name" or a newcomer, is facing a severe test: on the one hand, the "old screenwriters" have rich experience and mostly adopt closed-door workshop-style production for creation, and there is a certain barrier to the new trend of popular film and television creation and the ever-changing social life; on the other hand, young screenwriters are more familiar with hot trends and have the spirit of teamwork, but they lack the experience of life and the accumulation of ideas.

Now Jiang Hui has written the outline of the script and supplemented the details to the young screenwriters of the company, which not only solves the script needs of Guanghui Film and Television at this stage, but also cultivates his own screenwriting team, which can barely be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The role of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is relatively easy to choose, and Jiang Hui also mentioned that the dream band would play it before, so He Ling probably discussed it with director Zhao Gang and gave the starring role. Zhang Mengze plays Shen Jiayi, He Qingquan plays Ke Jingteng, Li Minghua and others play several other roles.

Guanghui Film and Television signed a group of newcomers who graduated from the acting department of the Film Academy and the Drama Academy some time ago, so except for the four roles of the Dream Band, the others are all newcomers who have been enabled. In addition to using the company's new artists, the crew also began to select all the suitable people outside.

Considering that all the members of the Dream Band participated in the performance of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and at the same time, as the starring role of "Struggle", it is estimated that it is difficult to coordinate the time, and it is not conducive to the performance of skills. So He Ling just arranged for everyone in the Dream Band to make a cameo in "Struggle", and the leading actor of "Struggle" needs to be found again.

"Struggle" was originally a TV series produced by Imperial Capital Xinbaoyuan Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd., directed by Zhao Baogang, starring Tong Dawei (Lu Tao), Ma Yili (Xia Lin), Article (Xiang Nan), Li Xiaolu (Yang Xiaoyun), Wang Luodan (Mi Lai), Zhu Yuchen (Huazi), etc. Now that Glorious Film and Television wants to shoot it by itself, it is definitely impossible to shoot it completely according to the original team.

Jiang Hui watched this drama twice in his previous life, and all the actors played it very well, among them, Jiang Hui's favorite role is Milai starring Wang Luodan. However, it seems that among the several leading actors, except for Zhu Yuchen and Wang Luodan, who play Huazi, the acting careers of others are thriving after "Struggle". This made Jiang Hui feel very regretful, so Jiang Hui specially told the director to go to the acting department of the Imperial Capital Film Academy to choose the role when he called himself to go with him, Wang Luodan is now in his senior year in the acting department, and it is estimated that there is a great chance to meet.

When I watched "Struggle" in my previous life, many people said that Mi Lai was so good, and he was also good to Lu Tao, why did Lu Tao not like Mi Lai, but chose Xia Lin. Jiang Hui couldn't figure it out at the time, but now that he has more experience after being reborn, he slowly understands.

Jiang Hui felt that the essential reason was Lu Tao's character and family birth, and it could be said that Lu Tao was a "phoenix man".

In the play, Milai was drunk and lay on the hospital bed and said to Xia Lin: "I envy you, because you are poor and beautiful, Lu Tao can hold your hand and go all the way, and you can see the future... ”。 Lu Tao, as a "phoenix man", is a very enterprising man, and the source of his struggle is Charlene, he works hard to make money and work hard for Charlene to live a good life, because the family birth and experience of the two people are very similar, which makes the two people feel like each other.

With Charlene, Lu Tao will have an inexplicable sense of responsibility, to make Charlene happy, to make Charlene look up to himself, all his sources of struggle are to get recognition of himself through Charlene's affirmation. Therefore, he felt that he could hold Charlene's hand and go on, just like Yang Xiaoyun and Xiang Nan, two children with similar maturity, who grew up in a noisy married life, growing up together is the true meaning of love, Lu Tao felt that being with Charlene could create a new life together.

But Milley is a rich girl, and she said that she envied Charlene for being poor, implying that she had an inferiority complex about herself as a rich person, why did she feel inferior? Because he and Lu Tao were not on the same starting line, and what Lu Tao struggled for was easy for Milley, so Milley couldn't arouse Lu Tao's enthusiasm for struggle. Assuming that Millay and Lu Tao are together, Millay will become a good helper in Lu Tao's career, but unfortunately Lu Tao is a dedicating person, and he needs a winner like Charlene to satisfy his sense of achievement. Obviously, Milai's level is higher than Charlene, and Milai himself is also a devotional person, but Lu Tao will not be a recipient, he wants to be a giver. This is the source of the contradiction.

After thinking about this problem clearly, Jiang Hui did not mean to change the original version when he wrote the script. If everything was perfect, "Struggle" might not be so classic.

In the next period of time, Guanghui Film and Television was busy, and the two films were launched at the same time. This is different from the difficulty of filming two micro-movies at the same time last year, whether it is "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" or "Struggle", the characters, props, scenes, etc. involved are far more than "Father" and "Sunset Flowers", and the difficulty is naturally more than one level higher.
