006. The Significant Male Number 2
Han Shenyan and Zhao Yue are not the kind of sociable personalities, so they began to get into the main topic soon after the greetings and exchanged ideas on the script. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The name of this script is "Emperor Dragon Chasing the Phoenix", which is an alternate historical drama with the Tang Dynasty as the background. The story is about a love-hate entanglement between two men and a woman. The story revolves around the heroine Yanyu, who was originally a phoenix in the sky, but because of her mistakes, she was sent to the mortal world to become a lowly maidservant. And the master she serves is the male protagonist Crown Prince Li Jin. The two have been secretly in love since childhood, but an accident made Li Jin lose her memory, and the two are strangers. And the male number two Li Xun is Li Jin's half-brother, he met Yanyu by chance, and fell in love with her at first sight, and the bond between the three of them also began.
Although this script takes love as the main line, the brotherhood between Li Jin and Li Xun also occupies a large proportion, and the strong fantasy color also adds a lot to the script.
Seeing that the two were engaged in chatting, Minister Cheng Ze quietly left and gave them the space, they are the protagonists of today.
"So what does screenwriter Han think of the role of Li Xun?"
Previously, Han Shenyan had elaborated on the background and personality characteristics of the hero and heroine, and Director Zhao Yue nodded again and again, bowed his head from time to time, and carefully recorded it in his notebook. Now, it's the turn of the male number two Li Xun.
Han Shenyan took a sip of tea, organized the language in his heart, and then said: "This character, how to say it, is completely different from Li Jin in terms of personality. As I just said, Li Jin was born as the crown prince because he is a sister-in-law, even if he has received an elite education from the royal family since he was a child, he still can't hide his innocent and simple side. ”
Li Xun is different, his personality is much more complicated. Although he is older than Li Jin and has excellent abilities in all aspects, because he is a concubine, he can only be an idle prince in this life, and he is naturally unwilling to his fate in his heart. At the same time, because his mother, Princess An, was often oppressed by Li Jin's biological mother, the seeds of hatred were planted in his heart. ”
This reluctance and hatred constitute the dark side of his character. In contradiction, his relationship with Li Jin is like a brother, Li Jin worships and relies on him, and he takes care of Li Jin while treating him as his own brother, until Yanyu appears. It can be said that Yanyu and Li Jin together constitute the bright side of his character. ”
It was the contradiction between light and darkness in his character that became the culprit of his tragic end. On one side is the smoke and rain that he likes, and on the other side is his younger brother Li Jin. On the one hand, there is an inseparable brotherhood, and on the other hand, there is irrepressible unwillingness and hatred. This contradiction, coupled with the encouragement of outsiders, finally made him choose the path of no return for self-destruction. ”
After listening to this, Zhao Yue had a trace of admiration on his face, clapped his hands lightly, and exclaimed: "Screenwriter Han is really amazing, although I have read the script a few times, I just feel that Li Xun's final ending is a pity, and I even thought about whether to change the plot to let him survive." However, after listening to screenwriter Han's analysis, I suddenly realized that his ending was an inevitability. Just listening to this seat, today is not in vain. ”
Just like what he just said to Han Shenyan, this exchange meeting was indeed not in vain. Han Shenyan's narration greatly deepened his understanding of the script, and the original hesitant selection of the hero and heroine also had a general direction.
The protagonist Li Jin, as the crown prince, must show the royal noble temperament, and at the same time, there must be some cuteness. This has a lot of requirements for the actor's appearance, and it can't be that kind of cold type, but that kind of sunny boy feeling. As the protagonist, the soul of the TV series, the acting skills must also be above the level, so he must be a regular actor, not a half-way actor who was born as a singer idol, and then take into account his age......
The names of several actors came to Director Zhao Yue's mind, and he recorded them one by one.
And the heroine Yanyu, although she is also very important in this TV series, does not have high requirements for acting skills, as long as she can perform her pitiful and pitiful qualities. So for this role, looks became the deciding factor.
He already has a suitable candidate for this role in mind, and the interview invitation has been sent out yesterday, if nothing else, it will be her.
The real trouble is the role of Li Xun.
Thinking of this, Director Zhao Yue's eyebrows twisted into a ball.
Although he is only a male number two, his importance in the play cannot be underestimated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the soul of the entire TV series. Therefore, it is also crucial to choose who will play this role, and even the importance is no less than the choice of the two protagonists. But in the selection of this role, director Zhao Yue made a difficulty.
This character is very contradictory, and this contradiction is reflected in the heart, in the behavior, and even in a smile, a look. It is difficult for the actor to play this role well without superb acting skills. If it's just acting, after all, there are still a lot of actors with superb acting skills, but there are other restrictions on this role.
The age should be in their twenties, not too immature or too mature, but this one excludes most candidates.
At least not much worse than the actor in appearance, and he still wants that kind of warm male type, and this article will eliminate most of the candidates who don't have many candidates again, and in the end there are only one or two left.
But for the only one or two people left, Director Zhao was still not very satisfied, and always felt that something was missing.
Zhao Yue is the kind of perfectionist, either don't do it, or do it perfectly. It is precisely because of this character that he can shoot so many beautiful scenes.
It's just that this time Zhao Yue really can't think of anyone who can play this role perfectly.
You can't audition, right?
Or simply lower some of the requirements?
Director Zhao Yue lowered his head and thought for a while, but still had no clue, so he looked up at Han Shenyan, who was waiting quietly, and asked: "But screenwriter Han, I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea of creating such a role? In your heart, who do you want to play the role of Li Xun?" He wanted to hear the creator's opinion, and maybe he could draw some inspiration from the creative process of this character.
