Chapter 61: It's Settled
??“ Really decided? ”
"Almost" Lu Yan sat in the co-pilot, closed his eyes, and nodded his chin slightly, during this time, through Li Xue, he also came into contact with a lot of scripts, and he really saw it, and the two sides could sit down and talk, this is the second one??.?
Different from the singing years, the overall color tends to be low, but throughout, it is the spirit of an era, fortunately, he was born and raised in a remote area, and he has more or less been influenced by that kind of faith.
But in itself, the belief is deviated, and the experience of a few years has cleansed away the empty part, and only the most practical ones are left, which can also adapt to this glass.
"It's not good to talk about" Li Xue sighed, after getting Lu Yan's message, she asked people to contact her, but the salary was not ideal, and according to inaccurate information, the other party seemed to have other favorite actors.
Lu Yan opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”
"It's impossible for anyone's eggs to be put in one basket, and people have sent invitations to other actors, earlier than we contacted"
"Who do you know?"
"Wang Xueping, Sun Honglei"
"Oh" He closed his eyes again, Wang Xueping is more famous, but it is only bigger, but he can't play Yang Laosan, after he opened the script, a few people came to mind, but it never included Wang Xueping, but Sun Honglei, similar to one of the things he thought, but the Academy Award actor, the hard-core Xiaosheng representative, the pillar of Orange Sky, the investment is a little less, and he can't be invited at all, Sun Honglei, he has never cooperated, and he is not familiar with it, so he is not very clear.
"Teacher Zhao, hello" Lu Yan looked at the shiny middle-aged man in front of him, a little surprised, among the directors he knew, except for Teng Huatao, there were few who were accidental, either with a scruffy beard or unkempt, anyway, he would never be the one in front of him, wearing a straight suit, white shirt, and blue tie, as if he was engaged in real estate.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, welcome" Zhao Baogang smiled and shook hands with Lu Yan, and said, "Let me introduce you, director Chen Guoxing, screenwriter, Gao Tang." ”
"Teacher Chen, hello, Teacher Gao, hello"
In contrast, Chen Guoxing is more like a normal director, very thin, his sideburns and hair are a little messy, and he seems to be unkempt, but he wears a hat, so I can't see what the situation is.
Gao Tang is quite fat, he has been smiling since he entered the house, maybe it was the same before he came in, the screenwriters in this circle are very kind, cynical, can't be screenwriters, what investors need is reasonable and commercial works, and those who can grasp the pulse are not only writing good things, but also the ability to deal with people is particularly important.
"Let's all sit" Zhao Baogang pointed to the chair in front of the table, essentially motioning for Lu Yan to sit, today is a group meeting, Lu Yan came later, but after all, the face is the male number one, so he deserves special treatment and does not have to queue up.
"Read the script, let's talk about my understanding of the role of Yang Laosan" It was Chen Guoxing who spoke, he was the director and one of the creators of the script, but he sat on Zhao Baogang's right hand, which probably also reflected the right to speak of this team.
Zhao Baogang is a well-known director, producer, and screenwriter in the industry, and his status and popularity in the circle are difficult to say higher than Zhao Junkai.
Lu Yan groaned and said: "Actually, I don't have a deep understanding of Yang Laosan, but I can understand Xiao Changgong, very understanding", looking at the other side of the people were stunned, he didn't give the servants a chance to speak, and said: "Actually, I came here to talk to the three of them, I personally like the role of Xiao Changgong very much, I am from Lanzhou, in the process of growing up, I have met many people with similar fate and feelings to Xiao Changgong, and I can understand and approve of what he did, in addition, I have a younger sister, I can better understand what kind of emotions a brother has for his sister. ”
Lu Yan finished his words and handed over the decision to Zhao Baogang, he knew that his request was a bit excessive, but this was also the purpose of his coming over today, he was not here for the protagonist of "Yang Laosan", but for the supporting role of "Xiao Changgong".
Zhao Baogang didn't speak, Lu Yan's words were quite convincing, but there was one thing that made him have to directly extinguish his hope, age, but in his heart, he wanted Lu Yan to play "Yang Laosan".
Gao Tang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Do you have faith?" ”
Zhao Baogang and Chen Guoxing turned their heads at the same time and looked at him, not understanding what he was going to do, both of them actually understood a little bit in their hearts, coming from the high hall, the role of the mascot is greater, he doesn't like to get involved in this kind of thing, and he doesn't express any opinions after he comes, as if it doesn't exist, but for the two of them, it's a good thing, who wants to be a nosy screenwriter.
"If not, I'll make up last April Fool's Day"
"This joke is not funny" Gao Tang still smiled, but looked at Zhao Baogang and Chen Guoxing, who were silent beside him, they all came over from that era, a certain friend or even himself, did experience half of the life of a character in the script, Lu Yan's words also confirmed what they saw and heard, what they thought, if not, they would probably make the same choice.
"You are too young to play Xiao Changgong" Zhao Baogang thought about it for a while, and then said in a muffled voice, a little regretful, Lu Yan's acting skills, he knows best, he watched it four times from beginning to end, otherwise, he didn't have the chance to be nominated for Magnolia at all, at that time, he was the leader of the jury group.
"I played Li Shimin, Li Shimin who spanned half of his life, so I think it's okay" He knew that he played Yang Laosan by himself, but it was a copy of Zhong Yuemin, he didn't want to repeat the same role, even if he looked back now, he could play this role more excitingly, but he didn't want to play it, the reason why he insisted on coming to see Zhao Baogang and Chen Guoxing was just that he wanted to play Xiao Changgong, a stubborn and pitiful man who lived in faith and was kidnapped by faith.
Chen Guoxing didn't know what to say, so he immediately said no, but Zhao Baogang was quite in favor of Lu Yan playing it before, but now people have taken a fancy to another role, what should I do?
"Yang Laosan is the first male" Chen Guoxing once again reiterated the positioning of the role, he could only convince him like this, although, in his heart, he himself was a little disagreeable, maybe, Zhao Baogang also had similar ideas.
"I can act, and I can guarantee to create a Yang Laosan who satisfies the three and the audience, but that's not me, although I haven't fully experienced that era, but I personally think that I am a copy of Xiao Changgong, from the inside out"
"Haha"
Several people laughed at the same time, Lu Yan said that he was Xiao Changgong, and several of them did not have the courage or the courage to be Yang Laosan, under this or that factor, in the end, they all did Xiao Changgong.
Zhao Baogang didn't let Lu Yan wait too long, and said: "In this way, if you are willing, the role of Yang Laosan can be decided now, but if you have to insist, we will have to discuss it again when we go back." ”
"No problem, notify me if there is news"
Li Xue was going to interject when Lu Yan proposed to play Xiao Changgong, but when she heard Gao Tang's sentence "Do you have faith?" She suddenly had an intuition, if she was cut off, would it cause Zhao Baogang and a few people to dislike her unknowingly, Lu Yan's disgust was inevitable, unfounded, just an intuition, but very certain.
"You should consult with me beforehand"
But she was still quite unhappy, and when she went out, the "da-da" of her high-heeled shoes sounded, as if she had been holding back for a long time, and went straight to the parking lot, even though she wanted to break out immediately, but she understood that it was not the right time and place for the attack.
Lu Yan smiled, Li Xue was unhappy, as he expected, but her silence was unexpected, proving that her own "training" did work, but she didn't have the idea of apologizing, and asked, "You will agree?" ”
Seeing that Li Xue was not angry, he continued: "No, I don't know how well you know the script, but think about it from another angle, if you are a screenwriter, director, and producer, will you show your own experience when you make a film, it is inevitable that you think that Yang Laosan is the male number one, it is because he is different, different from the vast majority of people around him, Xiao Changgong, is the vast majority of people in this world, including you, including me, he concentrates all the feelings that a normal person should have, Emotions and scruples, in the script, are the most brilliant and ordinary one, and in my opinion, he is the heaviest character in this scene. ”
"Okay, I agree with your reasons, but you make my own decisions without consulting me, so I know passively?" Most of her anger disappeared, and before she knew it, she was transferred from one point to another.
"Heh, pay attention next time"
"This is what you said, and next time, don't say I won't leave you with a face"
"Huh"
Lu Yan's arrival was an episode, the interview, continued, one by one, until mid-noon, the two of them had a little time to rest, and if they held it for a long time, they couldn't stop talking about it on the table.
"I think it's okay" Gao Tang was the first to speak, he knew that his words had the lightest weight, and the final decision was not so important, but once it was proposed by Zhao Baogang or Chen Guoxing, it would not be easy to reverse the result.
Chen Guoxing saw that Zhao Guobao only nodded, did not speak, and said: "I also think I can try, anyway, he is the second male." ”
Zhao Baogang looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Let's not talk about these imaginary things, by the way, Lao Chen, do you recognize the relatively shallow makeup group?" It can not only highlight the age, but also not affect the performance of the actor himself. ”
"Think about it" Chen Baoguo's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, his mind flashed to familiar or unfamiliar connoisseurs, and after about a few seconds, he raised his head, pointed at Zhao Baogang and said, "Mao Yiping."
Zhao Baogang nodded and smiled: "Yes, if you don't say that I almost forgot, I'll contact him when it's over." ”
Gao Tang also followed suit: "This is decided? ”
"It's decided, right?"
"It's set"
