Chapter 41: The flowers are becoming more and more charming
Liu Hui generously clicked on the hands-free mode, and the speaker of the mobile phone suddenly rang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe content of the call between the two sides Gu Cheng could be heard clearly, but Gu Cheng had to move two steps away slightly, so as not to have his voice sampled.
It seems that this girl has undergone the test of "integrity" in this regard, and has summed up a solid strategy for self-proof innocence.
He's a spicy guy.
"Fei Fei, it's me, Sister Hui, what I said last time has an eyebrow. It's Gu Chengxin who got the adaptation rights of "The Condor Heroes", and it will be filmed in two months, and there is no change on your side, right?"
On the other end of the phone, it was Liu Feifei's voice: "Gu Cheng, how could Brother Cheng shoot "The Condor Heroes"." Then you call me a try...... Try the role of the little dragon girl?"
"I don't count, I just recommend. Decades of old rules, those who play Wang Yuyan will give priority to Xiaolongnu, I dare not recommend you, this casting director is incompetent. ”
“…… I should be fine, and I'll add it up with the broker in a moment. ”
"Then I'll be waiting for your call. Anyway, I can't make a decision, I only have the power to recommend to Mr. Gu, you should be mentally prepared, don't expect too much. ”
From the call, Gu Cheng could clearly hear that Liu Hui really did not disclose the information "the investor is Gu Cheng" and "the title is "The Condor Heroes" to Liu Feifei in advance, but originally just asked the other party if there were any arrangements and availability in the next few months.
Full adherence to professional ethics.
Moreover, since Chen Yulian in the Chinese film and television industry in the 80s, there has been an unwritten convention, if an actress has played any of the two roles of Xiaolongnu or "fairy sister" Wang Yuyan, if there is another drama shooting plan in the near future, this female number one will be given priority.
From Chen Yulian to Li Ruotong, it was all arranged like this. As for Wu Qianlian Fan Wenfang's cases of Wanwan and Xingdao, they are not among them - because the Wanwan and Xingdao film and television markets are too small, it is unlikely that they will continue to shoot "Dragon Babu" and "The Condor Heroes" in two or three years.
After the first phone call, Liu Hui, who had obtained Gu Chengcheng's appointment, moved much faster.
In less than half an hour, half of the "Xiao Dan" team of the CCTV version of "Tianlong Babu", which was about to be filmed, was invited over for Gu Cheng to choose.
"Liu Feifei's Little Dragon Girl, Yang Rui's Lu Wushuang, Jiang Xin's Cheng Ying - these three girls are also a crew at the moment, and they are getting along smoothly, and the themes and emotional lines are almost the same, and they should enter the play quickly. Wang Yuyan moved to Xiaolongnu, Zhong Ling became Lu Wushuang, and Mu Wanqing changed to Cheng Ying. When the time comes, Duan Yu will be moved to Yang Guo, and the feeling of the team will be complete. ”
Gu Cheng went through it in his mind, and felt that the match between these images was okay, and his appearance was also passing. The key is that the preparation period before the start of filming of "Condor" will not be too long, and in this case, it is very important for the main actors to enter as soon as possible. A group of actors who have just been out of another martial arts film for only a month or two is the best golden period to enter the group, which is not easy to play and can maintain the popularity.
It's Jiang Xin's face that is a little angry. From Mu Wanqing, who was ruthless and wanted to live or die, to the spicy and domineering Concubine Hua in the later "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and then to Xia Zixun who fell into love for the immortals in "Flower Thousand Bone".
Gu Cheng didn't watch women's TV series in his later life, and naturally didn't know anything about "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Flower Thousand Bone". He just felt a little chilled just by looking at Jiang Xin's stills.
"Using her to play Cheng Ying is a little less indifferent and retreating. It's hard to imagine that such a Cheng Ying can endure Yang Guo's proposal of 'swearing as a righteous brother and sister for 16 years' after Xiaolongnu jumped off the cliff, right? Or this location will be considered again. ”
Liu Hui thought about it for a while, and drew a circle with a red pen on Jiang Xin's name: "Okay, I think the key is to look at the adaptation and setting of the script." Besides, during the sixteen-year appointment, it was Yang Guo who took the initiative to marry his brothers and sisters, and in the end, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it and take the initiative to play and disappear. Cheng Ying may not have the idea of slowly softening Yang Guo in his heart. Maybe this is more real and humane, the original Cheng Yingtai Holy Mother is too white lotus. ”
Gu Cheng thought about it, Liu Hui's statement was also correct.
As Yang Guo, he can control himself, but it doesn't mean that the sister can't come to tease him. If someone can hold on to it, that's what it calls ability.
Always wipe diligently, don't let there be dust, that's people.
There was nothing in the first place, and wherever the dust was stained, it was a Buddha.
Where the original work is not human-like enough, it is naturally the responsibility of the screenwriter to change it to be more human-like.
After emptying the crew that was withdrawn from "Dragon Babu", Liu Hui picked people from the agency she worked with, and the rest of the female roles are not very important, just pick the appearance, and the acting skills are a little passable.
The original crew of the crew turned out to be similar to the preparation situation more than a year later in another time and space.
It was Chen Zihan, who Liu Hui originally thought was suitable for playing Guo Fu, but when she called to ask again this time, she was told that she had received another film appointment this week-
Because of Gu Cheng's relationship, the filming of "Condor" was advanced by more than a year, and it collided with "Yitian" on the other side of Wanwan, so Chen Zihan took over the role of "Yin Li" first.
"I asked her last week and said that she was free, maybe I didn't dare to disclose the crew's information, people were afraid that they would fall short, and she took it when the crew of "Yitian" called. Liu Hui complained, and she didn't mean to shirk her responsibility.
But Gu Cheng could hear that she was complaining about her small authority.
After all the phone calls were made, Liu Hui sorted out the list and said peace to Gu Cheng:
"Of the 3 secondary supporting actresses originally selected, none of them could come. I have a pure newcomer here, a prospective newcomer. If you don't care about it, let's make a decision, prepare to fill in the two holes first, and I'll find the missing one. Anyway, each position is set a intention first, and you are guaranteed to audition for more than 3 times as many candidates. ”
Gu Cheng pushed his glasses and carefully looked at the memo that was scratched a little messy.
Chen Zihan, Yang Mi, Sun Li. Among them, Chen Zihan was crossed out.
The three characters that have been vacated are Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and Gongsun Lucao.
On Yang Mi's name, several exchanged arrows were drawn repeatedly, and finally they were erased. After Gu Cheng saw it, he asked puzzledly, "What does this mean?"
Liu Hui said unabashedly: "A female student in Jingying who has just been in the first grade. At first, I thought she was more suitable for Guo Fu, and the day before yesterday I met me in the capital and drank coffee, and I felt that her demeanor was closer to Guo Xiang - not as flamboyant and proud as Guo Fu. ”
"Then move back to Guo Fu, Guo Xiang and I have someone else to play. ”
Liu Hui's eyes flashed, this was the first time she saw Gu Cheng speak in person this afternoon.
Could it be that Mr. Gu personally dived a beauty?
Liu Hui remained silent: "You spoke in person, of course it's no problem." Do you still watch the other actors?"
Gu Cheng nodded: "Let's take a look, man, don't be afraid of unspoken rules." ”
Liu Hui couldn't help but cover her mouth and snickered: "Please, men are easy to be cast by women." ”
Gu Cheng shrugged: "Yes, but it's a pity that there is nothing particularly handsome in "The Condor Heroes" except for Yang Guo. ”
……
Liu Hui beat all the preferred actors for the main roles in front of Gu Cheng that day.
Gu Cheng didn't have much time, so the rest of the spare tire was left to Liu Hui to contact him slowly.
Gu Cheng gave Guan Hu and Liu Hui a red envelope of 50,000 yuan each on the same day, and comforted Guan Hu out of "they have already turned regular and deigned to be the assistant director", and for Liu Hui, it was out of compensation for "testing your loyalty and unspoken rules as soon as you meet".
Money is not everything, but after all, it can show a heart.
In addition, Gu Cheng also instructed Liu Hui twice, saying that in the near future, there will be a Wanwan girl of her age who will follow her to learn how to cast. Liu Hui also agreed very frankly, without the slightest worry that Gu Cheng was preparing to cultivate her lineage and marginalize her at that time.
Then Lin Zhiling was called to the mainland by Gu Cheng with a phone call, and followed him to learn casting work, so as to better be a good agent of Eslite Audio and Video in the future and help its artists explore more cross-circle cooperation opportunities.
A week later, it was the audition, and there were more actors, and it would take three or four days to try before and after.
While waiting for the casting, taking advantage of this free time, Gu Cheng took the script of 96 Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong to figure out and study for a while to understand the script writing foundation of the TV series. Then he put forward some suggestions for modifying the character design and plot, and recruited an associate screenwriter with good writing to help him polish it.
As an adaptation that can be referred to by the original book and the works of its predecessors, it is very easy to create a drama like "The Condor".
Gu Cheng is not ready to win with unconventional grandstanding like Yu Ma, and there is no obvious drama from beginning to end, but he has changed many places that are not quite in line with human nature and the audience's understanding in this era, and seem to be fake and empty.
Guo Jing's casual little difficulty took the lead and worked hard, Huang Rong's indiscriminate disgust with the young Yang Guo, Cheng Ying's silent and quiet love without fighting, and even Yang Guo himself took the initiative to provoke and offend Zhao Zhijing for no reason when he first entered the Quanzhen Sect, these unreasonable episodes were all proposed by Gu Cheng to deal with.
After the first draft was completed, Guan Hu immediately took over to do the storyboard.
On Liu Hui's side, the draft of the new script was sent at the same time on the day of the audition, and all the alternative actors used this temporary version to figure out the role.
Liu Hui led, Lin Zhiling studied and observed, and Gu Cheng didn't speak most of the time, only giving some opinions at some times.
The screening results of the main actors are basically the same as those discussed that day.
It's just that for most of the beautiful roles, Liu Hui finally auditioned for at least a dozen people, only those who don't look at their appearance. After three days, Gu Cheng's eyes were spent.
After finishing work, Gu Cheng couldn't help but complain: "Didn't you say that you would arrange at least 3 times as many candidates?
Liu Huiruo glanced at him casually: "Jin Yong drama and Qiong Yao drama, aren't they all cast like this." It doesn't matter who plays handsome guys and beauties, whether they have experience or qualifications, those with mixed qualifications will definitely squeeze their heads in.
If I choose a few less, what if there is one that you personally see and want to help - do you know, if you don't have a famous name and background, the average small TV station and small production company will cost millions just to get the adaptation rights. ”
Gu Cheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case. Zhao Wei Fan Ye in Qiong Yao's drama was pure and new at the beginning, and he became popular with one vote, and there is never a shortage of newcomers in Jin Yong drama who "acted in Jin Yong drama for the first time on TV".
The more places there are shortcuts to fame, the more intense the surging undercurrents will naturally be.
"There are at least 50 beauties here who stuff red envelopes and ask for your contact information, and I am willing to let you sleep, I will help you block them, you don't blame me, right?"
"Uh, no blame, well done. ”
