Chapter 378: Play Big Once
The budget investment of 200 million yuan in "Shooting the Condor" is obviously an unprecedented investment in Chinese martial arts dramas, but this is also reasonable for "Shooting the Condor".
There are a lot of characters or scenes in "Shooting the Condor", which requires a lot of switching of shooting locations and shots, and at the same time, some of the fighting scenes in the movie need to be completed with some special effects.
For the scenes and places that appear in "Shooting the Condor", Lin Chen is ready to shoot with real pictures or live on the spot, pink peach and green trees, mountains and forests, floating water, fog cages and Qingjiang, which all need to be determined. And in terms of special effects, Lin Chen still decided to use the Hollywood special effects team, and the problem of what money can do is naturally not a problem, Lin Chen feels that the most important thing that determines the quality of this TV series is people.
For the selection of people, Lin Chen still decided to put an end to all the flow of small fresh meat and use the most suitable actors.
The main actors in "Shooting the Condor" are Guo Jing and Huang Rong. But the appearance shots of other supporting roles are not low, and these actors have to find the most suitable actors to determine the quality of this TV series.
Guo Jing's actor is naturally Yuan Ping, Lin Chen and Yuan Ping have a ten-year contract treaty, and after several dramas, Yuan Ping's acting skills have been greatly improved. Therefore, Guo Jing's actor, Lin Chen thinks Yuan Ping is the most suitable.
As for Huang Rong's candidate, it is very important, which not only tests her acting skills, but also tests who is more pure. Because Huang Rong in the original book is sixteen years old, in addition to performing the kind of brutal and willful, he also has to perform the liveliness and cuteness of that age.
Lin Chen couldn't decide whether to use Jiang Qi or Song Zuer for a while, Jiang Qi and Feng Zuer were of the same age, although they were both beautiful embryos in appearance, but Jiang Qi seemed to be slightly better, but if it was tricky and funny, Feng Zuer was more suitable.
Jiang Qi's family conditions are destined to be more sensible than children of the same age, while Feng Zuer is different, he has been pampered by his parents since he was a child, and Feng Zuer is destined to be more willful and arrogant than children of the same age. And in addition to these factors, Feng Zuer also has the kind of rebellion in his bones, and Jiang Qi, who is affected by family conditions, is destined to be more obedient. So in terms of temperament, it is undoubtedly Song Zuer who is superior.
In the end, Lin Chen decided that Huang Rong's people would choose Feng Zuer first, but Jiang Qi's character conditions were suitable for Mu Nianci, the female No. 2 of the mature director in the play, and Lin Chen decided that the role of Mu Nianzi would be played by Jiang Qi.
After determining the first female, the second female, and the first male, the next step is to determine who will play the role of the second male Yang Kang? Yang Kang in the script can be described as a person who is bad to the bone, and anyone can betray Yang Kang, who is interest-oriented, and this role needs to play the kind of character that is dick, bad, and at the same time everyone owes himself.
Lin Chen felt that He Bing was the most suitable to play the role. Because Yuan Hua and He Bing are roommates and have partnered many times at the same time, this foundation gives them a better sense of cooperation.
The three men and three women in "Shooting the Condor" are Ouyang Ke and Hua Zheng respectively. Ouyang Ke needs that kind of handsome appearance, Lin Chen thought of using Deng Bing, Pengxiang Entertainment is also one of the investors this time, and Pengxiang Entertainment hopes to arrange a role for Deng Bing, so as to be the focus of Pengxiang Entertainment.
Lin Chen felt that Deng Bing had a certain acting skills, and at the same time he was a little handsome, at that time, Pengxiang Entertainment was ready to let Deng Bing cultivate in the aspect of Xiao Xianrou, but after spending money, this road is not feasible now, so Deng Bing can be said to be a marginalized artist of Pengxiang Entertainment this time.
At the same time, Deng Bing's contract was also facing expiration, and the company decided to let Lin Chen give Deng Bing a role in "Shooting the Condor", and at the same time decided whether to renew the contract with Deng Bing. If it weren't for Deng Bing's death at that time, Lin Chen and Deng Bing would have cooperated a long time ago, but since Pengxiang Entertainment invested in "Shooting the Condor" this time, Lin Chen decided to give Deng Bing another chance.
The female No. 3 Hua Zheng is a Mongolian girl, but Hua Zheng in the play does not belong to the kind of character of a female man, she is in love with Guo Jing, as the daughter of Temujin is also a person who loves and hates clearly, there are strong psychological changes, this Hua Zheng person is also very important, Lin Chen decided to let his senior sister Li Jing perform.
In addition to the six characters who appear more, the work of some supporting roles in this drama is also very important, such as the East Evil West Poison North Beggars Gang, who have a relatively high appearance, these people all have specific personalities and are very in need of acting skills. These actors are not simple actors who can be replaced, Lin Chen decided to find some old actors to replace them.
Huang Yaoshi's candidate is an arrogant and evil character, this character requires high acting skills, Lin Chen thought of the old drama bone Zhou Yuanzheng, as for the role of West Poison, Lin Chen thought of Cao Yuanping, who played the role of the Moon Worship Sect, Cao Yuanping's role is very wide, and when he was in the crew of "Fairy Sword", Cao Yuanping's easy-going and serious and responsible attitude impressed Lin Chen, so Lin Chen decided to ask Cao Yuanping to play the role of West Poison again.
As for the role of the North Beggar, it is mainly Yi Bo Yuntian, and then the North Beggar in the play has a hobby for wine and food, thinking of fine wine, Lin Chen feels that it is very suitable to use Shen Du, who plays the wine fairy in "Fairy Sword".
The rest of the hard-working couples with relatively high appearance rates are Bao Xiqiao and Yang Tiexin, and Mei Fenghe plays Wanyan Honglie, who plays the role of Dajin Wangye, Lin Chen decided to play the second biggest this time.
Yu Shasha has a sense of substitution for the role of Zhong Bao Xiweak, and at the same time sympathizes with Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiweak's feelings, so Lin Chen decided to let Yu Shasha come to the show in the play, and Yu Shasha will play the role of Bao Xiweak.
After hearing that she could let herself play the role of Bao Xiweak, Yu Shasha said in disbelief: "Mr. Lin, you're not kidding, are you?
Lin Chen said: "I said that I want to take everyone to pretend to be forced and fly together, and playing the role of Bao Xiweak is just the beginning, if you perform well, I can even let you perform the circle exhibition." ”
However, thinking of Yu Shasha's acting skills, Lin Chen still frowned a little, after all, the 30% acting value is still a little powerless for this role, and it is far from enough to rely on a sense of identity and enthusiasm.
"Sasha, if you feel powerless, forget it, after all, in our studio, you don't have to take the road of deduction to light. ”
Listening to Lin Chen's words, Yu Shasha also sighed and said: "I knew you were teasing me, but I also have this self-knowledge, it is definitely impossible for me to enter the deduction circle, but I really have a recommended candidate for the role of Bao Xiweak." I also have girlfriends with whom I have a good relationship. ”
Speaking of Yu Sha's best friend, Lin Chen naturally thought of the popular guest Dong Xue. Dong Xuelinchen has naturally seen it, Sister Dong's acting skills are just ordinary, not much better than Yu Shasha.
Lin Chen said: "You mean Dong Xue?"
Yu Shasha shook her head and said: "It's not Dong Xue, Dong Xue doesn't care about these roles in the acting circle, and I have two other girlfriends." ”
It turned out that Yu Shasha had two good iron girlfriends, who were Yu Shasha's high school classmates, at that time, Yu Shasha chose to major in management and secretarial, and these two classmates chose to major in acting, and they have not had much contact after graduation. However, there are only three top acting schools in China, and the graduates of these three schools may not necessarily have role acting, let alone some other acting schools.
Yu Shasha's two classmates both graduated from Jingnan Art School, and after graduation, they directly had some tricks without lines, or played a maid with lines in an unknown TV series, and later heard that Yu Shasha worked as a secretary in the Chopsticks Brothers Media, and with the fame of the Chopsticks Brothers in the interpretation circle, they have vulgar performances in the film and TV drama circles, and these two classmates contacted Yu Shasha, hoping that Yu Shasha could introduce them to Lin Chen.
The acting value required for the role of Bao Xiqiao is not low, if Yu Shasha's two best friends are powerful, then Lin Chen will naturally reuse it, if there is no acting skills, and he just wants to use the chopsticks brothers media as a stepping stone, then Lin Chen will arrange a few little dragon sets with lines for them at most.
Listening to Yu Shasha's introduction, Lin Chen said: "You classmates can come and meet me, if it is suitable, I can naturally arrange it." ”
After Lin Chen expressed his attitude, Yu Shasha said: "Okay Mr. Lin, they are in Yanjing now, let them come to the studio in the afternoon!"
This drama needs a lot of actors, in addition to the starring role, it needs a lot of fighting scenes, if you are looking for some inexperienced players for one-on-one training, it will inevitably waste a lot of time and money, Lin Yang is also wondering if he can find a few martial arts schools for professional cooperation, let them provide some fighting tricks, and Chopsticks Brothers Media will help these schools to do publicity. Of course, if we can cooperate in this way, we can save Lin Chen a sum of expenses.
In the afternoon, Yu Shasha brought her two girlfriends to the Chopsticks Brothers Media Studio. Through the system, Lin Chen can see the acting value of their bodies, the acting value of the two girls is more than 2oo, at their age, the acting value can reach this level, it can be seen that the two of them usually do not work hard, and they do have some grievances for playing some tricks and maids without lines.
Seeing that Lin Chen had been staring at the two girls, Yu Shasha coughed deliberately: "Mr. Lin, let me introduce you, this is my classmate Liu Jiao, this is Zhang Yingying." “
Compared with Liu Jiao, Zhang Yingying is more beautiful, Zhang Yingying can play the role of Bao Xiqiao, and Liu Jiao can play the role of Guo Jing's mother Li Ping in the script.
Lin Yang nodded and said, "Yes, the two people you recommended are indeed very good." “
Seeing that Lin Chen was staring at himself straight just now, Liu Jiao and Zhang Yingying were a little unnatural, and then Zhang Yingying pulled Sasha aside and said: "Sasha, there is one thing I need to explain to you, we are the bottom, the reason why we can't get a good role is because we refuse the unspoken rules, I see that your boss looks at me a little wrong, he won't have any intentions for us!"
Listening to Zhang Yingying's words, Yu Shasha said: "Although our boss is a little obscene, but he is not a bad person, as for what you said, I can assure you that I will definitely not let you sacrifice anything because of your role." “
Although the voice was very small, Lin Chen still heard it.
"Lewd, please, eldest sister, is there a person around me Lin Chen who lacks beautiful women? And your appearance is only qualified at most!"
However, looking at the acting values of the two, Lin Chen didn't say anything in the end.
Next, the two roles of Li Ping and Bao Xiweak were officially determined, but now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the opening ceremony of this drama will obviously wait until tomorrow, and at the same time, this big drama with an investment of 200 million yuan needs a large number of group performances and shooting scenes, from the desert grassland in the north to the south of the Yangtze River.
While Lin Chen was preparing to give the crew a holiday, he gave Li Yadong and Lu Wei a task to each other, asking them to take advantage of the New Year's holiday to find suitable filming locations with the script.
Lin Yang found Lu Wei and Li Yadong, Lin Yang said: "This martial arts drama will be launched after the New Year, you use this time during the New Year to find a suitable filming location, and at the same time, you can also take this as your holiday welfare, go around the places to take a good turn, and then go to taste the local snacks, the company will pay for you." “
Looking at this adapted script, Lu Wei said: "Mr. Lin, is the budget investment of this martial arts drama really 200 million?"
Lin Chen nodded and said, "Yes, we want to make this martial arts drama a phenomenal martial arts drama." “
Li Yadong said: "Mr. Lin, now martial arts is an unpopular, the cost of 200 million yuan, how many ratings do we need to be able to return to the cost?
Lu Wei also said at this time: "Mr. Lin, although I don't know much about the company's strategy, the fact in the TV drama industry is that any drama is stronger than martial arts dramas, and this is a new drama and IP, will the investment of 200 million yuan be a bit too reckless?"
For Li Yadong and Lu Wei's ideas, Lin Chen can naturally understand, and they can say such things, which proves that they are completely considered from the position of the company, Lin Yang not only did not blame in his heart, but also felt very relieved, reliving a life, Lin Chen naturally wants to be willful, since everyone is not optimistic, then I want to prove it to everyone, of course, if you can't prove it, it doesn't matter, Lin Chen naturally has enough capital.
Lin Chen said: "We want to create a phenomenal martial arts drama, naturally we can't care too much about the input cost and gains and losses, even if the martial arts drama is unpopular, our drama will not lose money." You just have to go on a specific shooting mission. ”
Listening to Lin Chen's words, Lu Wei and Li Yadong no longer quarreled about anything, one was ready to go north, and the other was ready to go south to find a suitable location for filming.
There are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, and at the same time as Lu Wei went south and Li Ya went northeast, Lin Yang gave the studio's employees annual leave, and before the holiday, Lin Yang also assigned some tasks to everyone, that is, all the work arrangements of the studio after the New Year revolve around the martial arts drama "Shooting the Condor".
