Chapter 500: Actor Selection (2)

After dinner yesterday, Yu Youjia and Tianjiao drove away together, and Chenxing and Pei Yueyue stayed in the hotel for the night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info went to a café at the appointed time this morning, and Chenxing took Pei Yueyue to meet with the director and screenwriter of "Xiaoxiao Changhe Cold".

Yu Youjia didn't come over in the morning when he had something to do, and he had already called Chenxing in the morning, saying that he had contacted the director and screenwriter, so that they would not have to be too restrained.

The director of "Xiaoxiao Changhe Leng" has long been determined to be a Hong Kong native Ju Shaohua, who has worked in the mainland for more than 10 years, and participated in the production of several popular martial arts TV series in the eighties and nineties of the last century on Hong Kong Dongming TV in the early years. This time he took over the directing work of "Xiaoxiao Changhe Leng", first, the screenwriter Wen Han is familiar with him, and the two have similar interests, Wen Han strongly recommends inviting him to direct the play; The second is that he himself likes this script and wants to use this project to create a unique martial arts TV series with his own aesthetic taste.

Director Ju appeared in the style of a shawl with big curly hair, and the beard on his face was neatly trimmed, looking like a more regular literary and artistic worker with Sven in the wild. Mandarin is more slippery than Chenxing, and she feels more polite when she speaks and does things, which makes Pei Yueyue have a good impression at a glance.

Both Hong Kong people, Ju Dao and Chen Xing are a bit familiar at first sight, speaking Mandarin with Cantonese accent to each other, and they have a very cordial sense of communication with each other. Screenwriter Wen Han is much shorter than Pei Yueyue imagined, it is estimated that he is barely 1.6 meters, he doesn't talk much, and he smiles less, and when he doesn't smile, he always gives people some sadness that is not intentionally revealed. Wen Han mainly looked at Director Ju and Chenxing talking at first, and he didn't want to say more than a few words in the opening polite words. Pei Yueyue always felt that Wen Han was unhappy about Chenxing. Of course, on the point of having less words, Pei Yueyue is not qualified to say others.

Although it was in a café, Wen Han didn't order coffee for himself, only ordered a small pot of Biluochun, Ju Shaohua, Chenxing, and Pei Yueyue were all ordinary ground coffee.

Pei Yueyue asked Gu Lian, on this occasion she was very clear about her position, she was just a small assistant, a dispensable small role, she shouldn't say a superfluous word, she just needed to listen carefully to understand the situation. Chenxing has to be respectful in front of these people, not to mention his little assistant.

Ju Shaohua and Wen Han are both people in the film and television industry, and Chenxing did not have much contact with the film and television industry when he was popular in the Taiwanese music scene, let alone the mainland circle, so Wen Han had never heard of Chenxing, Ju Shaohua just had some vague memories, and he was a little impressed when he heard Chenxing mention it.

Ju Shaohua is very talkative, and he chatted with Chenxing seemingly casually about a lot of topics, and Chenxing also followed Ju Shaohua's question and briefly introduced his acting experience to them. In fact, they must have had a rough understanding of these before, and repeating it at this time is a necessary procedure. Director Ju is okay, after all, he has been in the entertainment circles of Hong Kong and the mainland for many years, and no one will be easily offended, and he still can't see anything unusual with a smile on his face. Screenwriter Wen's face was relatively gloomy, and after hearing the experience of Chenxing singer turned actor, he seemed to be unable to hold back anymore, and asked out loud, "In other words, you basically have no professional acting training?" Even if you count some of the acting training you received when you switched from the dance class to the acting class of Hong Kong Television Station, it was only less than three months, right? ”

Wen Han's questioning was actually relatively gentle, and he had tried not to have any mocking tone, but the doubts in it were obvious, and anyone could hear them.

Then the male No. 1 Tianjiao you are about to decide on has not had any acting training. Pei Yueyue just thought so in her heart, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but refute.

Chen Xing nodded calmly, took Wen Han's words as a normal question, and patiently explained, "I haven't studied professional acting courses in a formal art college in the mainland, but this doesn't mean that I haven't received relevant performance training. Even if it is a pure singer, in order to shoot the song MV, the agency will hire some acting teachers to give the singer the most basic performance guidance. And I used to do two months of acting training in order to prepare for a movie, and I had some good actors in that movie, and although the movie didn't come out in the end, I also learned a lot. After coming to the mainland, I made a few more TV films, and I have gained some experience and understanding of the performances of professional actors in the mainland. ”

For many artists who sing and act, Chenxing's experience is normal. From singer to actor, the leap between this is too common in the eyes of normal people. Of course, from a good singer to a good actor, this is very difficult. At least as far as ordinary actors are concerned, there are indeed countless people who have stepped into this profession from singers.

“…… To be honest, I think it's better to use as many professional actors as possible, not that I have any opinions about you personally......" Wen Han smiled embarrassedly, as if he was a little sorry.

Pei Yueyue's heart sank, doesn't this mean that she doesn't plan to consider Chenxing as an actor?

“…… Hey, like you say, I'm also an artist from a TV station in Hong Kong who turned a director, isn't that also unprofessional? In the golden years of Hong Kong films, we in Hong Kong contributed a lot of good actors, all of whom were not students of your mainland universities, so aren't the acting skills also very good? Don't suddenly make the atmosphere so serious, now we're just chatting and getting to know each other. Ju Shaohua knew that his old screenwriter friend next to him didn't know how to speak, so he patted Wen Han on the shoulder without waiting for Chenxing to answer, and smiled to himself, half joking and half seriously reminding him, which loosened the somewhat stiff atmosphere at the scene because of Wen Han's words.

"Oh,...... Yes, yes, you look at me, just chat, chat, I always can't speak, forgive me, forgive me......" Wen Han touched his head and rubbed his hands, his honest expression couldn't hide his seriousness.

"I understand that screenwriter Wen doesn't have to care too much." Chenxing's expression remained unchanged, still smiling.

Then Ju Shaohua and Chenxing chatted about the difference in living habits between the mainland and Taiwan, and brought the topic of professional actors over. The turning point came when Ju Shaohua finally talked about the script.

"This script is very well written, it is the best TV script I have ever come across, and I admire the screenwriter after reading it." Chen Xing unabashedly recounted his first impression of the script of "Xiaoxiao Changhe Leng", although he said it very sincerely, but I am afraid that others will sound as if he is deliberately complimenting.

Pei Yueyue paid attention to Wen Han's expression, and found that this kind of praise was not known to be because the other party had heard too many times recently or what, and she looked a little indifferent.

Ju Shaohua also answered the call very skillfully and naturally, more like he had heard a lot of similar words before, and it had long become a habit, "Of course, the script is not good, and I won't follow it so happily." It's not for me to say, many actors, many of whom are well-known students, expressed interest after reading the script, and that Wei Baicheng called me two days ago......"

“…… But those well-known actors seem to be only interested in the main roles, and some also make it clear that they will not play the non-male number one, and my supporting roles want to find some actors who I think are suitable to play, but they are unwilling, or the price is too high and deliberately does not ......accept it" Wen Han seemed to have made up his mind, this time he no longer silently let Ju Shaohua open the conversation, but coldly shook over a few words, which sounded like a very helpless complaint, which was tantamount to pouring cold water on Ju Shaohua, who was trying to continue to tout the quality of the script on the spot.

After Ju Shaohua punched this old friend who didn't know anything in his heart, he hahaha several times, as if he could pass the embarrassment caused by Wen Han's sudden interjection, "Actors, of course, have their own considerations, this is inevitable." But you see that so many actors are interested, which is enough to show how popular the script is, why make yourself look sad, isn't it disappointing, hahaha......" Ju Shaohua slapped Wen Han's shoulder vigorously a few times, and Wen Hanse shrank in pain, only then did he realize that this old friend who knew him was already a little angry.

"In fact, personally, I think that when an actor reads a script, the most important thing he should look at is the structural framework of the whole story, grasp it as a whole, and then consider the role of each character's setting, personality, and experience in the whole story." Chenxing saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the two of them, and took the initiative to speak, on the one hand, to express his opinion on the script, and on the other hand, to divert the attention of the two and ease the unpleasant emotions between the two parties.

When Wen Han heard this, he immediately didn't care about Ju Shaohua's mood, his eyes lit up, not so obvious, he took a sip of tea, and pretended to ask casually, "Really?" What do you think about the role of the main character and other characters in this story, for example, what are your thoughts on the setting of the male number one and the male number two? ”

Chenxing has read the script so many times these days, and naturally has no difficulty in answering this kind of question, in fact, he has unconsciously pondered a lot of things about this script in advance, and he is not afraid of not having to say it at all, "I think that if you really like a certain story, you don't have to be limited to the perspective of the protagonist, because in a really well-written story, each supporting character also has its own rich character connotation." What's more, in this story, the absolute protagonist of the story is the male lead, but I think the author's inner insinuation into the description of the male lead is not inferior to the male lead. The male number one is a positive character, entrusting many positive things such as ideals and light, while the male number two seems to allude to more confusion and confusion that many of us will encounter in reality...... The script shows these two in a more extreme way, and if you think about it, there are many things worth thinking about. ”

It's like lighting up Aladdin's magic lamp, Pei Yueyue and Chenxing didn't expect that after saying this, Wen Han's eyes lit up surprisingly, and his joy was overflowing.

Next, Pei Yueyue will no longer feel that Wen Han has less words. Once it comes to the discussion of the script, Wen Han can talk for a long time. Every word of Chenxing's thoughts about the script seems to inspire his endless desire to express.

Ju Shaohua, who controlled the topic orientation at the beginning, became a foil.

In Wen Han's eyes, those powerful actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan who have become famous are not counted, and artists like Chenxing who have not been trained in formal performing arts colleges are not professional actors, especially Chenxing is still a singer, and according to his standards, he can only be regarded as an amateur actor who has become a monk halfway. But he didn't expect that he would be chatting with such an artist for so long about the script, and he forcibly postponed the meeting that was originally scheduled to end before ten o'clock in the morning to continue at noon, and he still felt unfinished after the meal.

Afterwards, Wen Han had to admit in his heart that in all the contacts he had with the artist so far, there had never been such a pleasant conversation.
