Chapter 44: Casting after the 80s tonight
Originally, for Zheng Long, this trip to the overseas market was mainly to get the publication of his "Phantom City", but he didn't expect to encounter so many things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although I have calculated a nickname, I also feel more sinister in the world, and I am afraid that the development of the literary world will not be so smooth in the future.
However, participating in the planning of the "Post-80s Tonight" program is a very special thing, and it is not in my plan.
Of course, today's writers are no longer the same as before, but are very close to the entertainment industry. In the later generations of Zheng Long's original place, the inexplicable relationship between those popular writers and first- and second-tier stars is also a topic that people talk about after dinner.
After Zheng Long and August broke up, he went to Dragon TV again.
All his trips these days are taxi, not because he is very proud, but because it is indeed too hot for him to go to the bus and can't stand it. On the other hand, the publishing house of "Budding" also gave him a lot of advance manuscript fees, and even August people gave Zheng Long a lot of money in private. And all this money was taken out of his salary.
Although "Budding" magazine is a public institution, it is not very profitable, so the salary of employees cannot be considered very high.
This friend, he is settled.
The car soon arrived at Dragon TV, and Zheng Long called Cheng Daren before going to the TV station so that he could be prepared.
As soon as Zheng Long arrived at Dragon TV, he was led by the beautiful front desk lady to Cheng Daren's "Post-80s Tonight" program group.
Compared to the last time, there have been a lot of changes here, many basic stages have been built, and the number of people has increased a lot. There were several crew members working inside and out, directing the construction workers to renovate the stage. In the center of the stage stood Cheng Daren and producer Sun Dasheng, greeting Zheng Long warmly.
Especially Sun Dasheng, his expression was completely different from the last time he saw Zheng Long, and this time he was quite excited.
"Hey, Zheng Long, come and take a look, we have selected several actors this time, and we are going to partner with Lao Cheng, we want you to see which ones are better!"
"Good!"
Zheng Long thought to himself, anyway, he will be a loyal fan of "Tonight's Post-80s" in his later life, and he is also very familiar with the positioning, production process, and roles of this show, so it should not be a big problem.
"These are the actors we found!"
When Zheng Long took a look, he found that there were four people standing in front of him, all with big shoulders and round waists, and at a glance, he knew that they should be professional actors.
"Dare to ask, are you all professional actors..."
"Haha, young man, you are so discerning, the three of us are all professional cross talk actors! And the brother next to him is from the Haishang burlesque troupe! If you want to say the right person, I'm afraid it must be us! ā
The speaker was a fat man with a big belly, and his top had been lifted, and he looked oily.
Zheng Long was a little disgusted with him, but still said:
"Well, I'd like to see how your rehearsals work before deciding."
"Alright, brothers, let's go."
In fact, as soon as Zheng Long heard that these people were professional actors, he felt that it was a bit inconsistent with his psychological expectations. After all, in the "Post-80s Tonight" program in later generations, several of the guests are college graduates who have just graduated, or young actors who have no experience.
Because this show is different from other variety shows, it doesn't need those old-fashioned variety show oils, but needs a touch of fresh air.
If "Tonight's Post-80s" is made into a hodgepodge of traditional opera, what is the difference between it and Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar? Lost to everyone.
Therefore, Zheng Long was not interested in these actors from the beginning, but because of the situation, he decided to let these people give it a try, after all, even in the variety show, there may be some more suitable candidates.
Sun Dasheng said with confidence on the side:
"These are all experienced performing artists in the overseas market that we have worked hard to contact, and I think they definitely don't have to worry about their stage effects!"
Cheng Daren was silent.
In fact, he has a whisper about these old variety show fritters, but he can't say anything, after all, these people don't look up and don't look down, and the major variety shows basically rely on these people to support the field.
Among the four people, the only burlesque actor is called Lin Yixin, who is a relatively young actor and does not have much acting experience, so he was also arranged to be the last to perform on stage.
And the best performance experience among the four people is also Wang Dazhu, a senior actor of the Haicheng Peking Opera Art Troupe, that is, the person who just spoke, was the first to perform on stage.
Wang Dazhu first came to a piece of Shandong Allegro, and then said a stand-up comedy very skillfully, talking about an old joke, almost the kind that makes people hear calluses...
"Boy, stand there and watch, the thief is coming. Take a look, yo! It's cold with a few clothes.
How old are you?
Five-year-old, what's your name?
Little Tiger? Do you know me?
I don't know.
You don't know? Let's play together, listen to me, I'll coax you to play. I'll tell you my name, my name is teasing...... Tease you...... Tease you...... Teasing you, teasing you, my surname is teasing, my surname is teasing, teasing you, remember?
Call me, Xiaohu, and say yes.
Alas.
Call me, call me, my surname is teasing, I call you teasing, call me!
Teasing you! ā
As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Ma Sanli's classic joke "Teasing you". Although Wang Dazhu's stage skills are still very skilled, and it is not too boring to talk about jokes, Zheng Long can't help but cross in his heart...
What the hell! It's not a miscellaneous altar in Quyuan! It's just enough to bring in these traditional cross talk actors, and you have to talk about such an old joke!
Sun Dasheng thought it was very good, and asked Zheng Long vigorously:
"Xiao Zheng, what do you think? Lao Wang was found by me with great difficulty, and the schedule is busy, and several activities have been pushed for our show, do you see if we will set someone..."
Zheng Long frowned, feeling that he could no longer continue to be a good person, so he had to say:
"Lao Sun, I think that although Brother Wang is very expressive on stage and is also the master of my country's music industry, I am afraid that our show is not suitable!"
"Why?!"
Wang Dazhu almost jumped to his feet.
After all, in his life experience, he has never been so directly denied. Moreover, he is still a junior high school student who denies him, which makes him even more unacceptable.
"Why do you accuse me of my professionalism? I've performed for the Prime Minister, and I've performed abroad many times, so my professionalism is recognized! ā
Zheng Long Zhengse said:
"Brother Wang, I'm not questioning your professionalism, on the contrary, I respect your professionalism. I think if it's a traditional opera, your performance is impeccable. But our show is not to make a traditional music show, but to make a new talk show. What we need is content and a program format that is close to the ideas of the post-80s young people, so I don't think you are a good fit for our program! ā
"Hehe, the form you are talking about, there is no successful prototype at all!"
Wang Dazhu retorted fiercely.
