Chapter 50: Divergence
"You...... You...... What the hell do you want to do?" sent away Wang Qingsheng, who was pale, and Chen Guoli angrily pointed at Zhu Ziqing and asked.
Director Chen sits. Zhu Ziqing didn't seem to see his anger, and said freely: "I'll tell you a story." ”
"There was a student who was accepted into the film and television university. He was asked how he did it. He said, "I was supposed to accompany Xuexue."
The teacher who named me said to me, "Since you're here, go in and try it." I thought it was right, and I went in. The examiner asked me to play the fool. I didn't do anything, so I went wherever I went, but I didn't expect the examiner to say that I had passed. ”
"What a fool is not a fool, don't take me for a fool. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I'll ...... I'll go to Mr. Tang to complain. Chen Guoli was angry and didn't listen at all.
He didn't listen, but the other examiner did. His eyes lit up, and he said to Zhu Ziqing: "I understand what you mean, you mean that his performance traces are too heavy, right?"
Zhu Ziqing glanced at the examiner unexpectedly, although he guessed not entirely right. But that's the general meaning.
Speaking of which, this examiner Zhu Ziqing is not familiar with it at all, Chen Guoli said that he is a person sent by Bayi Production, called Lin Wei.
There are only three people who can get started with the crew of "Soldier Assault", Zhu Ziqing, Chenghai Entertainment and Bayi Productions.
The rest of the investors don't know where to find the little local tyrant, who can participate in the project of Chenghai Entertainment and burn high incense, how dare they make any requests.
As for the big-name actors, this drama did not invite such actors who could affect the crew at all. The biggest card is Wang Qingsheng, but he was left by Zhu Ziqing.
"I want the real 'Xu Sanduo', not the Xu Sanduo who performs. Wang Qingsheng's acting skills are very good, but because the image does not match, it seems that the performance traces are too heavy. Don't you think that his external image and his performance just now are very inconsistent? ”
Lin Wei thought about it carefully. nodded in agreement with Zhu Ziqing's point of view. Chen Guoli was also angry just now, but now that he is angry, he analyzed it according to Zhu Ziqing's thoughts and found that this was indeed the case.
But he never planned to shoot according to the original book. His original plan was to modify the setting of the main character slightly to increase the selling point of the story.
Now, Zhu Ziqing has also grasped his thoughts a little. Said solemnly:
"Does Director Chen know why I wrote the novel "Soldier Assault"?" Without waiting for an answer, he said to himself:
"One of the generals told me. Young people nowadays are too impetuous. Let me write a novel that praises the realization of the value of life through hard work. Hence "Soldier Assault". After the publication of the novel, the troops ordered five million copies in three installments. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to Lin Wei, who was standing aside and smiling, and said, "Mr. Lin is a person from Bayi Films, so he must have heard of this, right?"
Under Chen Guoli's excited gaze, Lin Wei said quietly:
"I do hear similar rumors and don't know if it's true or not. But I know that the army ordered five million copies, and it's true. This is also the main reason why we at Bayi Factory are willing to co-produce this TV series. ”
Really, it's true. Chen Guoli's mood is like riding a roller coaster, up and down. Not to mention how exciting.
It turns out that this novel still has such a origin, and it was written at the behest of the head of the army. looked at the indifferent Zhu Ziqing. It turned out that this teenager had a military background. No wonder Mr. Tang was so polite to him.
originally thought it was just an ordinary TV series with the main theme to please the above, but it turned into a military background. Chen Guoli couldn't be more excited.
In general, the main theme is not likable. But who makes this type of film and television work for the ratings? Serving the above is comfortable, and it is better than the ratings champion.
At the same time, he also secretly dispelled the idea of resetting the male lead, and ordered five million copies in three batches. It can be seen how satisfied the chief is with this book and how satisfied he is with the protagonist Xu Sanduo.
When the chief is satisfied, he dares to be dissatisfied? He dares to revise it at will? Just follow the original book. Not only should the character design respect the original work as much as possible, but the main story line should also be written in strict accordance with the direction provided by Zhu Ziqing. It is important to satisfy the chief.
"I understand, Mr. Zhu, please rest assured. I will definitely cooperate with you in the casting process. Chen Guoli instantly corrected his attitude.
Director Chen was polite. You're at the helm of our crew. I'm just giving you an opinion, whether it's feasible or not, and you have to make up your mind in the end. Zhu Ziqing said politely.
Talking nonsense with your eyes open. Respect my opinion? You didn't ask me what I meant when you drove Wang Qingsheng away just now. He only dared to think about this in his heart, but did not dare to say it.
"Mr. Zhu, what do you think we should do next?"
"Let's put the actor candidate first, let's determine the other roles first. ”
"Okay, let's start with the role of squad leader Shi Jin......"
In the whole TV series, there are not many characters created. Among them, the most difficult to play is undoubtedly the protagonist Xu Sanduo, and the other roles are not difficult to choose.
For example, the roles of Wu Liuyi, Lao Ma, Lao Wei, etc. It's easy to find the right actor. The actors such as Shi Jin, Gao Cheng, and Yuan Lang also confirmed the list of actors after several rounds of auditions.
After two days, most of the characters were selected. Only Xu Sanduo and Chengcai are left with two roles that have not yet been determined.
Xu Sanduo was because Zhu Ziqing had his own ideas and was not going to look for them through auditions, and Chengcai was very unfortunate to find a suitable one.
"Mr. Zhu, this is the list of actors who have been confirmed, you can see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted. Chen Guoli put a list in front of Zhu Ziqing. Said respectfully.
That's right, it's respectful. In the past two days, he inquired about Zhu Ziqing's origin privately through his connections. The results are scary. Chenghai Entertainment, the force behind him, can't even stammer, let alone he, a little director.
really offended people ruthlessly, and it was no joke to say that he couldn't get along in the country every second.
Startled, he remembered that he almost turned his face with Zhu Ziqing, and he didn't sleep well all night. Hurry up and find a way to make up for it.
"No, I don't have to worry about Director Chen's work. Zhu Ziqing did not take the list to show trust. But he didn't even notice how much of his tone was like that of a superior at this time.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, when can we leave for the Dianheng (the name is reversed, deliberately) Film and Television City?"
"I have already arranged the vehicle, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and arrive at Dianheng Film and Television City in about four hours. The guesthouse is also booked. Lin Wei said.
"Just arrange someone to come with me tomorrow. Don't bother the two of you to go with me. ”
"This ...... Not good. ”
"It's okay, you just arrange for a reliable person to go with me. I'm just going to check it out. It's not a big deal. ”
Dianheng Film and Television City was originally a photography base built for filming film and television dramas, and later opened to the outside world to form a tourist area.
After more than 20 years, it has developed into a large-scale comprehensive tourism area integrating film and television tourism, vacation, leisure and sightseeing.
More than 5,000 film and television productions have been filmed here, making it the world's largest film and television shooting base.
Making movies is naturally inseparable from extras. Everyone has a dream of stardom, the difference is that some people are willing to act for it without hesitation. Some people just fantasize about it in the middle of the night.
conditionally, find various relationships to enter the crew. If you don't have the conditions, you will be an extra. Dreaming of becoming a star one day.
According to official statistics, one-third of the 150,000 people in Dianheng are immigrants. More than 6,000 people were 'drifting'. But the cruel thing is that so far there has never been a star in 'Horizontal Drift'. None of the stars who are out of the stream have appeared.
Compared to their North Drift counterparts, they should indeed be weeping bitterly. Because Beipiao has also produced several stars, and even actors.
Shi Dazhuang is also a drifter, and he didn't want to come. Because he knows how many pounds and taels he has. Primary school culture, less than 1.7 meters tall, dark and thin, and speaking with a strong local accent.
But he couldn't stand Fa Xiao's bewitchment, so he came with Fa Xiao. He still remembers what he said when he persuaded him at the beginning.
You are dark, thin and short, your family is still poor, and you will not even be able to marry a daughter-in-law in this life. Come with me to the shop and become a star in case you come to work. None of this is a problem anymore.
And your image is especially suitable for being a special actor, and there are more opportunities than ordinary people. So he followed.
But for more than two years, he hasn't even played a role with lines. No one has ever asked him to be a special actor. Becoming a star is even more out of reach.
"Da Zhuang, this is your salary for today. The foreman lifted his head, pulled out a red bill from the wad of bills in his hand, and handed it over.
"Thank you, Brother Wang. Shi Dazhuang took the money very excitedly. This is the happiest time of his day.
Sixty or seventy a day is considered a lot. Today, I played a small soldier in a crew and soaked in the water for more than two hours. So I got a hundred.
This kind of work is tiring and hurtful, and there is not even a frontal shot when lying in the water. It's definitely a thankless kind, and most people don't want to act.
Shi Dazhuang didn't want to, but now he had to do it. Because of his small hair is unemployed. He had to earn money for two people or starve.
When the foreman finished sending the money and bragging to a few people, Shi Dazhuang hesitated for a while and came over and said, "Brother Wang, my brother ......."
"Don't mention your brother to me, and I'll drive you away. Before he could finish speaking, Brother Wang interrupted angrily.
"How many people did I beg for to find a job with a face. turned out to be good, he actually wanted to steal the scene with the actor. Is his brain full of?"
"Do you know how many people he has killed? I have dozens of brothers under him, because he almost can't even eat. Who's responsible?"
"There is no one else in his heart except himself, you don't have to look for me, I don't dare to ask for such a selfish person. Not only me, but no one in the entire store dared to ask for him. I advise you to stay away from him, or you will be harmed by him. (To be continued.) )
