Chapter 43: Preparing for the filming of "Bright Sword"
In the living room, Shao Gong came and went between the guests with a wine glass, constantly clinking glasses with them and laughing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info At this time, Shao Gong has become a very promising figure in their eyes, even He Minzhi and Cai Dasheng are polite to him, and even He Minzhi found Ouyang Ke and wanted to quietly return the 100,000 yuan of errand money to him, but Ouyang Ke forcibly stuffed him back, and said with a smile that he would rely on Director He to take care of them in the future!!
It's certain to take a lot of care, but He Minzhi will never dare to accept this money.
He kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, the officials who have something to do with the army in this place in the capital are particularly terrifying, but today there are several people who are at the lowest regimental level, he is only the director of the Cultural Bureau, although he also has some connections in his hands, but compared with those who can reach the sky, his connections are nothing, haven't you heard a word?? If you don't go to Beijing, you don't know that your car is not good, you don't know that you have little money when you don't go to Shenzhen, you don't know how much money you make money when you don't go to Beihai, you don't know how timid you are when you don't go to the Northeast, and you don't know how bad your wife is when you don't go to Chongqing.
He Minzhi is in the capital, and the director of the Cultural Bureau sounds very beautiful, but only he knows how small he is!!
At this time, Han Jian found Shao Gong and pulled him to a secluded place and said, "Shao Gong, that fat man is so annoying, and his classmates who have been surrounding me have been asking long and short questions, which makes us very unhappy." As he spoke, he pointed at Cai Dasheng.
"He's in real estate, let's leave him alone. ”
Shao Gong said indifferently: "Let's go find Uncle Li, I have something to tell him." ”
"Okay. ”
The two found a moment, slipped out of the living room together, and then went to their office. Inside, the Bright Sword family was having a happy dinner, and when they saw the two of them coming in, they hurriedly pulled them over and entered the table.
Shao Gong picked up the wine glass, this time it was a real liquor, and drank it all to the elders, and then looked at everyone: "I'm sorry uncles and uncles, I drank a lot with the guests just now, so I can only drink one glass this time." ”
"It's okay, you young people just drink a drink. ”
Han Qiao saw the opportunity, poured a glass of Coke for Shaogong, he took out the script of "Bright Sword" from the desk and returned to the table, looking at everyone: "This is the script of "Bright Sword", uncles take a look at it first. As he spoke, one person took the script and passed it to Li Desheng.
Li Desheng opened it, read the first chapter, and said: "Isn't this a description of the battle against Abe?
"I know ......"
Shao Gong nodded and said, " The part of the war I described, is to integrate all kinds of classic battles into the bright sword protagonist Li Yunlong, although he is a fictional character, but its prototype is the old general Wang Jinshan, in fact, he can also see the shadow of many excellent commanders and fighters, the reason why I do this, is because it is a bloody era, if you don't fight the motherland, there will be no tomorrow, so that era needs heroes, but also needs the spirit of the sword, the reason why I will Li Yunlong strive to become a Chinese-style General Patton, is to do full thought.
And several of Li Yunlong's comrades-in-arms also have the shadows of our major families. But this is a TV series after all, so some content can be blended, and some can't. ”
"Mmmm, that's very reasonable, at least you wrote the ending very well!!"
Li Desheng looked at the final description, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This is a story that has gone through historical periods such as the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the true character of the soldier has never changed. ”
"After the crew is ready. ”
"If you need money, we'll make it up for you. ”
"We don't need money for the time being, and we have enough money to register it. ”
Shao Gong smiled and said: "But I need some support from the troops, especially the soldiers needed for filming, this time we are trying to create gorgeous war scenes, so the group performance will definitely not be able to play the temperament of soldiers." I need troop fighters instead of group performances, and some guns and explosives, I need the support of my uncles. ”
"These are no problem, we will send someone to watch you on the crew when you are filming, if you need anything, just tell them, we know that the latter phone call will be able to solve it for you. ”
Uncle Han Qiao nodded and said, "Then what role is suitable for Xiao Zhuan!!"
Regarding this question, Shao Gong said simply and clearly: "To be honest, this is a real man's TV series, although there are several actresses in the play, but their image and temperament are completely inconsistent with Sister Yan, they are all green leaves, even if there are some plot characters, they are also big green leaves, which are used as foils for these hot-blooded men." In my opinion, it is better not to let Sister Jian play such a role, because the actresses in the play are destined to impress the audience without men's plays. ”
At this time, the script was passed to Han Yan, she opened it and looked at it a few times, then nodded and said: "I admit this, the two female characters in the play either died early or appeared too late in the later stage, playing a role that is destined not to be remembered by the audience, such a role is better than not playing, I think Shao Gong's point of view is very correct." Han Jian looked at the uncles and smiled: "And I am still studying, and I will have the opportunity to act in the future." ”
"What Qiao'er said also makes sense, anyway, Shaogong's nephew has resources here, and you will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”
Li Desheng smiled, looked at Shao Gong and said, "Then Li Yunlong's role has been chosen." ”
"I have chosen, I think Li Youbin is the most suitable, although he is not a popular first-line actor now, but he has played various roles before, whether it is a farmer, a doctor, an editor, a criminal policeman, a soldier or even a hey social boss, all of them are domineering roles with a big man in his bones, such a man is the most suitable to play Li Yunlong. ”
Shao Gong nodded seriously, "I'm sure to persuade him to play Li Yunlong, and I know the rest of the roles, and I'll start talking to the actors tomorrow." I have the role of playing Tian Yu, and I hope the army can recommend me a role to play Yang Xiuqin. ”
"Well, I don't have any other requirements, I just hope that this TV series can be filmed as soon as possible. ”
Li Desheng looked at Shao Gong expectantly, and kept sighing: "After watching it, I will have the capital to go down and brag to my old comrades-in-arms." ”
"I count the time, if I work overtime to shoot, I will go to post-production, and it will be released during the Spring Festival, but I hope that such a drama will be released on CCTV, after all, CCTV is famous, and there are many people watching it across the country. ”
"No problem, I'll say hello to their leaders over there. ”
Li Desheng nodded with satisfaction, looked around, and said with a smile: "When will your parents take over? You are also considered to have a business in the capital, and it is time to take them to enjoy Qingfu." Don't worry about business, we take care of you, no one dares to take you lightly here. ”
Shao Gong was a little embarrassed and said: "I called them about moving here, but my parents said that they have been working for more than ten years, and they will retire in a few years. ”
"Hey, it's hard for you when your relatives aren't around in this capital! But it's the same with us, you are our child. ”
Li Desheng stroked his beard with a smile and looked at everyone: "Don't patronize and talk about business, Shaogong, this kid has been busy for a long time, and now he finally has time to sit with us, the family banquet begins, everyone has fun." ”
As he spoke, he led the people to eat the feast first.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet was over, Shao Gong sent off the Liangjian family, and warmly shook hands with the guests one by one, and sent someone to send Han Jian and other classmates on the plane, and the senior management of their dream flight breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that there was no one, Shao Gong's whole body collapsed in the office, and this morning, it felt like a big battle, especially tired. Seeing him like this, Ouyang Ke beckoned the food delivery staff to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Ouyang Fenqi entered the office, seeing that this disciple was too tired, he sat opposite him and said: "The preparation of the Liangjian crew will be handed over to me, but I will never take the position of director." ”
"Why??"
Shao Gong was puzzled: "This book is good, definitely not worse than "The Family of Gold Powder". ”
"Because of this, I can't take it, this is a war scene, you are a screenwriter, you must have a complete idea of those war scenes in your mind, and war has always been my weakness, it's okay to be a production director for you in the crew, but it's never okay to be a director. Although I am the nominal director of "The Family of Gold Powder", almost all the filming work was done by you, and I am now very satisfied with your work ability and novel and unique shooting perspectives, and now is also the time for you to come out and take the lead. ”
Ouyang Fenqi looked at his disciple, his eyes were full of encouragement: "What I can do is to give you a good quality, and you still have to complete it yourself on the big route of shooting." ”
"Teacher!!"
Shao Gong shouted, and then Wang Yang came in and looked at him and said, "Since you issued a filming announcement at noon, is it time for us to cast." ”
"Okay, I'll take it slowly. ”
Shao Gong poured himself and the two of them a few glasses of water
, and then picked up a pen and wrote down the names of many people on the paper, and added the names of the characters they wanted to play after their names. Then he handed it to Wang Yangdao: "Brother Wang will contact these people, and I will personally talk to them about the characters that are not easy to handle." ”
"Looking at Li Youbin's name??"
Wang Yang frowned and said, "Although he is not a first-line actor, I heard that this person has a very strange temper and a lot of character." ”
"Don't worry, contact him first, and you and I will go together after making an appointment with the location. ”
For Li Youbin, later generations called him a drama bully, and was called by reporters as one of the "most difficult actors" in the film and television industry, often put forward opinions or directly modify the script when filming, but the general subject will not change too much, and also said: "If the script changes too much, there must be a problem with the script itself", which shows his personal talent and strict requirements for his own acting skills.
"Actor Brother Wang went to contact, and the teacher was responsible for the preparation of the crew, I was really tired today. ”
By the time he said the last few words, Shao Gong had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep. Seeing that he was so tired, Ouyang Fenqi and Wang Yang looked at each other and retreated.
This sleep lasted until midnight, and when he woke up, he was covered with a blanket, which Meng Xiangting had covered him, but he saw that there was no one in the company, only a few of Ouyang Ke's cronies were on duty, and he couldn't help but go back to the office, he picked up the drawing board and drew cartoons again.
This painting is the time for the employees to go to work.
His employees are all newly recruited, the current film department is established but still idle, because they are currently mainly producing TV series, the staff of the film department temporarily work in the TV department, the novel department is the predecessor of Menghang Chinese Network, and the comic department is the Three Musketeers and some of the staff they recruited. The music production department is in charge of Meng Xiangting, but they haven't signed any artists yet, so they are the head of the fiction department. Ouyang Fenqiao is in charge of the director's department, but there are only two people at present, him and Shaogong. Ouyang Ke and Wang Yang, Wen Yiwu, are responsible for the daily operation of the company, and they are not congratulated when they go out to film, these two people are the top people here.
Wang Yang came to Shaogong's office soon after going to work, and as soon as he came in, he said directly: "Li Youbin has made an appointment, and the Sunshine Cafe near Xizhimen will be ten o'clock in the morning." ”
"Alright, let's go meet this weird-tempered man. ”
Shao Gong put down his paintbrush, saw that it was still early, coded the Internet again, and after setting the regular update of the two chapters of the bad guys, he followed Wang Yang and drove to Xizhimen.
"Not to mention, Audi is comfortable to sit in, and it is really not a level of enjoyment with taxis. ”
Sitting in the car that Benshan gave him, Shao Gong Zizi said.
"When will I get a driver's license? I'm a vice president of a company, so I can't always be your driver!"
"I'll take the test when I have time, don't we Brother Wang have a book now?"
Shao Gong laughed and said, "I can only wronged you, the vice president of Menghang, first." ”
The two joked with each other, and half an hour later they arrived at the meeting place.
There was Li Youbin sitting in the café, he didn't know one of the two people opposite, but the other was a newcomer who had recently become famous and quickly rising, he looked at the two of them, and said with a pity: "It's that you want to find me to act." ”
"Yes, first of all, I introduce myself, my name is Ouyang Shaogong, the person in charge of Menghang Film and Television Entertainment Company, this time I asked Mr. Li to come out to invite you to participate in the first war drama after the establishment of our company, "Bright Sword"!!"
"Let's start with it, although I'm not a well-known actor, I also have my own requirements for the script, if your script can't satisfy me, I will revise the plot at any time, if your script is really bad to a certain extent, I will definitely not act for the sake of acting. ”
Li Youbin stirred the coffee with a coffee spoon, took a sip and said: "At my age, I haven't thought about whether I can be popular, I just want to play a few roles I like, and I don't like challenging acting." ”
"It's challenging, it's very substandard. ”
Shao Gong spread his hands and smiled: "Many actors have one or two roles that they especially want to "challenge" but have never had the opportunity to play. But as far as my habits are concerned, I don't like the word challenge, because challenge means failure, which is determined by the profession of an actor.
Each actor has different thoughts, experiences, hobbies, specialties, and interests. If a character is even very challenging for himself, he will definitely not be able to fully understand the character, and if he can't understand it, he won't play it well. After all, if an actor wants to create a role well, he must fully understand the script and understand the characters. So when it comes to acting, there is never such a challenge as a challenge.
I've seen a lot of your plays, and the definition in my heart is that you are the most suitable character to play a hero, so I will definitely not invite you to play roles such as Monkey King and Zhuge Liang, because you will definitely not be able to play that kind of role. But I have to play this script, I believe that he will be one of the most classic of all the roles you play, and I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't act. ”
As he spoke, Shao Gong took out the script of "Bright Sword" from his bag and pushed it in front of Li Youbin: "Take a look! I'm confident, you'll call me tonight after you read it." ”
"You're so confident. ”
"Of course. ”
Shaogong nodded confidently, Li Youbin picked up the script and put it directly into his bag without reading it, "I'll read it in the afternoon, I hope as you said, this will be a good script." With that, he got up and left.
Shao Gong called the waiter to settle the bill, looked at Wang Yang and said, "Who's next." ”
"Zhang Huanbei. ”
Wang Yang looked at the schedule, he was free at eleven o'clock at noon, and we still have time to go over now.
"Okay, go find him. ”
Shao Gong got up with Wang Yang and walked towards the second character target.
The time of this meeting is similar to Li Youbin, Zhang Huanbei is now the deputy general manager and producer of any company, they are a company formed by several companies, mainly engaged in film and television production and performance project management of professional companies, named: Beijing Beiguang Media Film and Television Co., Ltd.
For the fierce man who can play Lu Bu, Shao Yu chose to tell him in a straightforward way: "I want to ask you to star in my company's TV series, this is the script, please take a look, and I believe that you will agree to my invitation after watching it." ”
Facing this extremely confident little guy, Zhang Huanbei accepted the script without reading it, and said with a puzzled face: "You are so confident that I will take this role." Shaogong replied with a serious face: "Of course, I believe that no one will miss a good script, and I, Ouyang Shaogong, am so confident, what I write by hand will definitely be a good script, and you are the best candidate for the role set, this is my decision after thinking about it repeatedly, so I came to invite you." ”
"Young man, you're very confident and want your script to be as confident as you are. ”
"Of course. ”
Seeing the other party leaving, Shao Gong and Wang Yang went to meet several leading actors one after another in the afternoon, and they all handed over the script to them with such confidence. And in the evening, sure enough, Li Youbin called first, saying that he took the scene, and said that the script was really good, and he would really regret it if he didn't act.
Then Zhang Huanbei and several other leading actors called one after another.
In the next few days, Shao Gong was in a good mood and continued to audition for other roles, and finally ten days later, all the actors of the "Bright Sword" crew were in place, and at this time, Ouyang Fenqi's crew was also completed. Now that they have the money, the personnel, and the crew, the "Bright Sword" TV series is about to start filming.
