Chapter 155: Competing for Lao Xu
Strong women also have soft moments.
Wang Ziwen is very troubled now because of Bai Yuhan's teasing.
And the person concerned, Bai Yuhan, didn't know what Wang Ziwen was worried about, it was just a blow he wanted, and he quickly forgot about it. Putting down the matter of the script, I began to seriously choose "Night. The cast of "Shop", although the director is Yang Qing, the producer is Bai Yuhan, and the right to choose actors is naturally in Bai Yuhan's hands.
Fortunately, Bai Yuhan is not the kind of person who likes to take power, since he chooses to believe that Yang Qing is capable, he doesn't mind respecting Yang Qing's opinion and seeing what kind of actor he wants to play.
"Lao Yang, He Sanshui, I plan to contact Xu Zheng, I think this role is very suitable for him. Look at the male No. 2 Li Junwei and the female No. 1 Tang Xiaolian, what actor should you choose? β
"Xu Zheng? Well, Xu Zheng is good, and I also like Xu Zheng's performance. As for the male number two and the female number one, they are a couple, swordsman, who do you think is better to play, and we don't seem to have enough investment to be famous. β
"It depends, it's really not enough to add a little more, what actor do you like?"
Yang Qing looked at Bai Yuhan: "I'll take a fancy to you, otherwise, Li Junwei, you will act, you are so popular, you will support the scene for our movie?" You and Xu Zheng are both comedy wizards, and the audience will definitely buy it. β
"Me?" Bai Yuhan felt surprised, "It's not impossible to act, but the Li Junwei you set @δΈ@ζ¬@read-novel xstxt is a bit silly, I am more suitable for playing some funny styles, or playing some in-depth roles." I can't play this kind of stupid role at all. Temperament does not match. β
"No, can we revise the script, I've thought it all out. Modify Li Junwei into a character similar to Wang Dazhui. How about you and Xu Zheng have a show? β
"Damn, you had a premeditated plan to hit me."
"Hehe, low-cost films, I can't invite celebrities, I can only think of something else, Wanhe Tianyi's own artist. No need for nothing. I have thought about that Tang Xiaolian, either invite Tong Liya to act, or invite Li Jinming to act. Or invite Liu Yan to act. β
"Your abacus is playing very loudly, I'll think about it."
"What are you thinking about, swordsman, you can shoot it, if you really plan to do it behind the scenes. No more filming. I'm definitely not looking for you. If you are still acting, you can't help but give face. Yang Qing tried his best to persuade.
Bai Yuhan was also moved, acting in a movie is easier than acting on TV, what if it becomes popular: "Okay, okay, I promised, you can revise the script with the screenwriter team...... As for the heroine, please Tong Liya. You think about it first. I went to contact Xu Zheng, but I don't know if Xu Zheng will give face. Without him, this drama is not good. β
In this way, Bai Yuhan took over "Night. In the role of Li Junwei in "Shop", Tong Liya also happily took over the role of Tang Xiaolian.
"Let's play a little couple in the movie, right, it must be fun." Tong Liya has not continued to take on some supporting roles recently, and is waiting for the company's arrangement, after all, she is an artist who wants to be praised, and she can't always turn around in supporting roles.
"Don't be busy with fun, your first time acting in a movie, you have to practice more, don't bring the style from the TV series to the movie, you know."
"You know, I know that my acting skills are much better than yours, and I am from a professional background."
"Have you graduated, are you still professional?"
"Why, I'm not convinced, don't go to my bed tonight."
"Hehehe, your acting skills are already superb."
Maybe it's the number one female in the movie, Tong Liya was very excited at night, and her long legs, who had practiced dancing, used the trick of the old tree roots, and almost surrendered Bai Yuhan early. Fortunately, I have practiced, and I used off-the-board moves to deal with it at critical moments and maintained my undefeated record.
β¦β¦
The next day, Bai Yuhan contacted CAA's artist Xu Zheng through CAA's China branch. Xu Zheng is also a graduate of the drama and belongs to the best batch. In 2000, he became popular with "Spring Bright Pig Bajie", and later participated in "Li Wei as an Official", and then directed and acted in "Li Wei as an Official 2".
There were cameo appearances in "Crazy Stone", and this year's starring "Love Call Transfer" also achieved a good box office. In the movie, Xu Zheng played with several beauties, which can be described as a lot of good fortune. It can be said that Xu Zheng is already a well-known comedy star in the mainland.
The matter of contacting Xu Zheng went well, because Xu Zheng was in the capital recently, busy with the release of the new work "Destiny Call Transfer".
The two met at a long-established teahouse.
Xu Zheng looked quite young with his iconic bald head, and his body did not begin to grow.
"Oh, White Swordsman, I've admired my name for a long time." As soon as Xu Zheng met, he teased.
Bai Yuhan laughed: "Teacher Xu, I am the name that has admired you for a long time." β
"What kind of teacher am I, just call me Lao Xu." Xu Zheng said casually.
"Let's call you Brother Xu, the title of Lao Xu has been usurped."
"Who took it?"
"Xu Jinglei, she is not happy to call her Sister Lei, so I have to call him Lao Xu." Bai Yuhan said with a smile. When Xu Jinglei directed the GM Buick micro-movie, he met Bai Yuhan, and Xu Jinglei also took the director's route, so they have a lot of common language, and they are good friends with each other.
"It turned out to be her, I called her Xiao Xu, but I didn't expect her to grab the name Lao Xu with me today." Xu Zheng ordered tea and asked again, "Your recent "Love Apartment" is really popular, your sister-in-law also chases and watches it every day, and I also watched it, yes, really good, with a sense of fashion, with new ideas, it is much fresher than those contrived idol dramas on TV now." β
"I also borrowed the style of "Friends" and made a Chinese version of "Friends"."
"You have a lot of new things than "Friends", the overall style, to be honest, I can't see that it is borrowed from "Friends", it is new and refreshing."
Of course, Bai Yuhan will not tell Xu Zheng that the most borrowed is the unborn "The Big Bang Theory": "It may also be the mainstream film and television industry, and I haven't walked into a drama like ours that started as an Internet." By the way, patronizing and chatting. I forgot about business, this time I contacted Brother Xu through CAA to recommend a movie to you. I brought the script. β
"Night. Shop"? β
"Yes, a low-budget comedy, the book is good, so I want to invite Brother Xu to stand on the platform, I don't know if Brother Xu is interested."
Afterwards, Xu Zheng looked at the script quietly, because everything that happened in the story was in a small supermarket. So the storyline is not complicated, and the script is also very short, Xu Zheng quickly finished reading it: "Well." Yes, this book is good, He Sanshui is the role I want to play? β
"Yes."
"Who are the other actors?"
Bai Yuhan pointed to himself and said, "I play Li Junwei, and Tong Liya of our company plays the heroine." Other than that. This script needs to be revised. Li Junwei's setting was not originally given to me, but the director Yang Qing wanted to pull me to play it together, and he was going to put the role of Li Junwei according to Wang Dazhui in "Never Expected", and then modify it again, and there will be more interaction with Brother Xu. β
"That's good, you're acting well. I've watched "Never Expected", which makes the dead laugh. This time, the two of us will work together. Strive for a movie that is even more hilarious than "Crazy Stone". β
"So, Brother Xu, you agree."
"Agreed, besides, there is very little investment in this film, right?"
"We Wanhe Tianyi have never done film distribution, and the investment is only set at 2 million, if Brother Xu joins, the salary will definitely come according to your value, Tong Liya and I, as well as Yang Qing, can not get paid."
When Xu Zheng heard this, he shook his head a little embarrassedly: "If you want to get paid to talk about things, this tea will be boring, I have taken a fancy to this book, 2 million we all spent on filming, I don't have to take a little less salary, the most important thing is to shoot the story well." β
Bai Yuhan did not shirk, the company did make money this year, but the money did not come from the water, and there were still many projects to count on. The first time I make a movie, the risk is a bit big, I can save a little is a little, there is no need to be hypocritical: "Brother Xu is happy, our screenwriting team has written the new script when I go back, and I will personally send it to Brother Xu, and I will invite you to have a meal by the way." β
"Or I'm invited, you are also a student of the play, and as a senior brother, I can't say anything if I want you to have a treat."
"Whoever invites it is the same, the important thing is to eat together."
"Haha, that's a level."
β¦β¦
Finalized Xu Zheng's appearance in "Night. He Sanshui in "Shop", Bai Yuhan contacted the old drama bone Zhang Jiayi in the original version and starred in robbing. Robbers. Zhang Jiayi also translated after reading "Night. Shop",I immediately agreed.γ At present, there are not many books in China that rely on stories to win, and old actors are sharp-eyed and can see the good and the bad.
The four leading actors have been confirmed, and the remaining supporting roles and tricks are all Wanhe Tianyi's own employees, and they will make temporary cameos.
In this way, the cast is neat.
And "Night. The script revision of "Shop" also went very smoothly, adding some more cheerful jokes, and replacing the image of Li Junwei from a silly otaku to a wooden joke. The most unattractive character in the original version is Li Junwei played by Qiao Renliang, which is incompatible with the whole plot and is particularly awkward to watch.
By the way, the screenwriting team also erased some loopholes and traces of reference (sweat, domestic ones can be watched, how are they all copycats), making the script more three-dimensional and innovative.
β¦β¦
In this way, Night. The shop is up, just waiting for the filming to start at a later date.
Time has passed day by day, the second round of broadcast of "Love Apartment", vigorously broadcast on three satellite TV channels and one terrestrial channel, the ratings were all very good, and even when it was broadcast on Shonan Satellite TV, it led a round of ratings in the same period of the country.
The Internet is also noisy and has increased a lot of fans.
More people began to appeal, hoping that Bai Yuhan could start filming the second season as soon as possible.
In this way, the summer vacation of 2007 passed in the popularity of "Love Apartment". Elementary, middle, and university students are all going back to school.
At this time, Lao Bai's "Never Expected: Life Will Not Deceive You" was also delivered, and after Bai Yuhan's correction, some revisions were made, and the publishing house was officially contacted, ready to be published and listed. To coincide with the listing of the physical book, Wanhe Tianyi also planned another event.
Because the start of school is approaching, I have received many invitations from universities, inviting the crew of "Never Expected" to give a speech in the university.
So Wanhe Tianyi curated the theme of "Never expected. The activity of "University Tour Meeting" allows the main creators to go to the university campus and chat with college students about life and dreams. (To be continued......)
