Chapter 61 Suzhou City Guards (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes,)
"How's it going?
As soon as Liu Dong finished the audition, he took off his makeup, and Li Manyuan came over.
"It's okay, let me go back and wait for news!"
In the audition room just now, Yu Ming just let Liu Dong act for a while, and let him come out without asking anything else.
After listening to Liu Dong finish talking about the detailed process of the audition, Li Manyuan pondered for a moment and said, "There are only two possibilities, either you are very dissatisfied and don't want to waste time, or your performance has already moved him, and you don't need to watch anything else." ”
Liu Dong nodded, "I think so too, now I can only wait for the notice."
"Don't be discouraged, I think the latter is more likely!" Li Manyuan smiled and comforted, "Since he didn't interrupt halfway, it's a good sign that you can finish that scene, at least your performance is no problem." ”
Liu Dong thought about it, so he didn't think about it anymore, and left it to fate.
"By the way, can we go and see Yang Guo's audition?"
Liu Yifei is here to play with the actor who auditioned Yang Guo, and she will definitely dress up as a little dragon girl.
Liu Dong rarely saw a real person today, and wanted to see the appearance of the little dragon girl with good makeup.
Li Manyuan shook her head, "No one outside the audition is allowed to enter, even in the corridor outside. ”
Liu Dong was a little disappointed, but he thought that he would naturally be able to see it when the time came.
Leaving the CCTV building, the two went back to the company directly.
"Ye Weixin has been notified that the audition will start on the 15th, and his younger brother Ye Weiming recommended to Chen Kexin that you play the role of the leader of the Taiping Army guarding Suzhou City. ”
In the office, Li Manyuan told Liu Dong a piece of news.
"That's only a week!" Liu Dong nodded, this role was expected.
After all, in addition to the three leading actors, there are still a bit of weight in the supporting roles of "Casting the Name", the three ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, He Kui, who commanded the Kuizi Battalion, and the leader of the Taiping Army who committed suicide in Suzhou City.
Those three old men definitely don't have to think about it, no matter how superb their makeup skills are, it is impossible to turn him into an old man of fifty or sixty years old.
And the original He Kui's treacherous appearance is completely inconsistent with himself, at this time the script must have taken shape, and it is impossible for the director to change the character for himself.
After all, only the leader of the Taiping Army remains, although the age is still almost, but it can be completely made up for by makeup.
"This is the script of this character, you take a look first!" Li Manyuan suddenly took out two pieces of A4 paper and handed them to Liu Dong.
"Got the script so quickly?" Liu Dong was a little surprised, Chen Kexin is also a first-line director, this is a super big production with an investment of 300 million, how can he allow the script to flow out!
"It's not just you, it's a few people recommended internally, it's just the script of this character. Li Manyuan dispelled Liu Dong's conjecture.
Liu Dong nodded and began to read the script carefully.
It turns out that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom general in the movie is based on the prototype in history, in 1863, the Chinese and foreign coalition forces captured Taicang and Kunshan, and approached Suzhou in July, and the Taiping Army was led by Tan Shaoguang, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, to resist.
Li Hongzhang suffered heavy losses due to the strong attack, so he wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender, but Tan Shaoguang resolutely resisted and vowed not to surrender. The other defenders of Suzhou, led by King Gao Yongkuan, conspired to defect.
In October, Gao Yongkuan and others assassinated Tan Shaoguang and surrendered the city, and they were all killed by Li Hongzhang two days later.
If you have to sit in the right seat, the Suzhou guards and Gao Yongkuan are the most consistent, they both surrendered voluntarily, but one committed suicide and the other was killed.
And Li Lianjie's massacre of 4,000 surrendered soldiers in the movie is also a prototype, and Li Hongzhang slaughtered 30,000 surrendered soldiers after seizing Suzhou.
And Li Hongzhang was also promoted to the governor of Liangjiang because of his meritorious service, which is the same as Li Lianjie's last promotion.
But Li Lianjie's prototype is not Li Hongzhang, but another Liangjiang governor Ma Xinyi.
During this time, in addition to watching "Stinging Horse", Liu Dong also read a lot of wild histories, notes, novels, and operas about the stabbing horse case.
Ma Xinyi was originally a general of the defeated army, and after being captured by bandits, he didn't know how to persuade the two bandit leaders to marry Jin Lan and become brothers.
After that, he and the two bandit leaders and brothers directed and acted in a "bandit" victory battle to regain lost territory, so that they climbed to the throne of the feudal officials.
After the rise to prominence, the two brothers came all the way to him, but Ma Xinyi raped his brother's wife and designed to trap the two brothers.
In the end, the second child died in his ambush, and the third child escaped by luck and was successfully assassinated on the way back to the governor's yamen in the military parade of Ma Xinyi.
......
No more, no less than two full pages, although this character has appeared for less than five minutes, but there is already a complete character background, personality analysis, and so on.
This once again made Liu Dong realize the difference between blockbusters, and a supporting role that appeared for less than five minutes actually had a special setting.
You must know that the scripts of the two movies "Breaking the Army" and "The True Colors of Men" made before are only on a piece of paper, and they have not yet been written.
There are only characters and some lines on it, which is a world of difference compared to this.
Li Manyuan didn't bother Liu Dong, and when he put down the script, he opened his mouth and smiled, "Have you finished reading it, can you find the prototype in "Stinging Horse"?"
Liu Dong thought for a while and said, "If you really want to find a prototype, it is estimated that only the Taiping Army general played by Li Xiuxian, but Li Xiuxian's role is less than this, and there is no reference value at all!"
Li Manyuan was a little disappointed, and said randomly, "You can figure out the role yourself, I may not be able to help you in this regard, everything still depends on you to fight for it, although Berner is the main investor of this movie, but there is no human relationship to talk about when it comes to a big production of 300 million!"
Liu Dong nodded, expressing his understanding, the relationship is sometimes not omnipotent, otherwise those second generations would have taken the throne a long time ago.
Just look at Hua Yi's Fan Binbin and Huang Xiaoming, the heroine of "Night Banquet" was given to Zhang Ziyi, and the second female lead is also Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming's role is not as much as Wu Yanzu.
"Assembly Number", "The King of Kung Fu", "Do Not Disturb If You Are Sincere", "Tangshan Earthquake", "Painted Skin", "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire"... Later, these big productions did not have the figure of these two people.
Fan Binbin is not much better than Zhou Xun and Li Binbin except for more publicity resources, and most of Huayi's blockbuster heroines are divided between these two.
And Huang Xiaoming occupies a lot of TV drama resources, not to mention the actor of a big production, and he will not be used for medium productions with a cost of more than 50 million.
The reason for all this is that they can't afford it, no matter how much they hold it, there will be a principle.
Just when the two were preparing for the audition for "Casting a Name", there were also people discussing Liu Dong in the CCTV building in the CY area.
