Chapter 227: The Most Suitable Protagonist at the Moment
After coming out of Shengtang Entertainment, Pan Le contacted Charlie on a transatlantic phone call.
The two of them quarreled a few words, and then turned to the main topic.
Pan Le said: "Before, I asked you to find the concept effect of the Oriental Fairy Wind and Sword Fairy Wind special effects produced by Weta Digital Technology Company, have you received the results?" ”
"It's done! There are a total of 307 results, and it is an effect film made by all the special effects experts under the entire Weta Digital Technology through their own concepts of Chinese Xianxia and Sword Immortal. There are dozens of copies of them, which in my opinion are very good......"
As soon as Pan Le heard this, he immediately interrupted Charlie's words: "I don't need things that look good to you, what I need is works that look good to me!" Don't have fun with me when it comes to discerning and judging! I'm sure that what you like will be miserable in my eyes! ”
"Hey, are you insulting my ability to connoisseurship?" Charlie wasn't happy anymore.
But Pan Le was as poisonous as ever: "Wrong, I'm satirizing the aesthetics of your Western world!" ”
This kind of argument has not been thrown out once or twice here in Pan Le, so Charlie has no intention of being angry at all: "Okay! You stubborn guy, I'll have people talk about the works and send them to you when I go back! I hope you don't choose what seems to me to be miserable, I'm afraid I'll doubt my own worldview! ”
Pan Le laughed at Charlie: "It's completely unnecessary to doubt your own worldview!" Because in my opinion, the image you like is miserable. ”
……
After returning to Beiying, Pan Le asked Zhou Wei out for the first time.
After meeting at the café, Brother Jing looked at Pan Le in her unique magnetic voice and asked, "Did you just get off the plane?" ”
Pan Le, who ordered a drink for Zhou Wei, replied, "No." I arrived in the capital in the morning. After finishing it, I sent Xuanzi back and went to the company again. ”
"You also opened a company in the capital? Why haven't you heard of it mentioned by the outside world? Zhou Wei's curiosity was aroused.
"I opened it in partnership with a few friends. The name is Shengtang Entertainment. However, since the company has not moved for half a year since its establishment, I don't know much about it. ”
Between words. The waiter had already brought over the drink he had just ordered for Zhou Wei. Pan Le took it with both hands and put it in front of others with his own hands, completely looking like a dog's legs.
"Thank you!"
Zhou Wei smiled and thanked him, took a sip of his drink: "Did you go to the company this time because you were ready to shoot a TV series?" ”
"Clever!" Pan Le praised.
"You're flattering me now, and you're done running to the office before you see me. With so many clues linked together, how stupid I must be if I can't guess it! Zhou Wei wrinkled his nose at Pan Le.
Pan Le retorted with a smile: "With all due respect, I really can't think of a reason why I need to please you. At best, just practicing how to take care of women. Wait until my skill level is higher. You can get along with your girlfriend smoothly, right? ”
"Well, you win!"
Zhou Wei didn't bother with Pan Le on this issue, and asked after putting down the cup: "What TV series do you plan to shoot to be your debut work?" Modern dramas, costume dramas, romance dramas, war dramas, or urban dramas? ”
"Costume fairy tale drama!"
Pan Le introduced the current situation in detail: "At present, the copyright of the TV series is being negotiated, and according to my original intention, I want to completely win the copyright, but the other party has set up a barrier to cooperative development. I have revised the details of the terms of the other party's cooperative development before, and I think it shouldn't be too much of a problem to win this time. ”
"Costume fairy tale dramas are indeed suitable for newcomers in the industry like you. Because of this, there don't seem to be many works. In memory. It seems that there are only Journey to the West, Fengshen Bang and Shushan Biography. The first two are completely mythological dramas, and the latter one is a movie, leaving you a lot of room for graffiti! ”
Zhou Wei commented on the benefits of Pan Le's costume fairy tale dramas. However, the topic of copyright negotiation was not raised. In her eyes, if Pan Le makes up her mind to deal with such a thing as copyright, it will only be a matter of time.
Pan Le nodded: "At first." I saw that there was such a game, so I learned about this game. I found that this game has quite a few loyal players. And the makers of this game have also written the story and script, but there are no plans to make it at this stage. So. I thought about it! ”
"Oh——, no wonder people are cooperating in development. If I hadn't had this intention, I wouldn't have written the script. Your presence may have solved their budget problem for this project. ”
Talking about this, the places that don't make sense in related topics are all smooth. Everything is so logical. Zhou Wei smiled and said: "So, what role am I suitable for in this costume fairy drama?" ”
"Of course it's the heroine!"
That's right, it's the heroine, Pan Le plans to let Zhou Wei play Ling'er.
The reason why there is this idea is not only because the original starring actor at this time is still unknown in the United States, and it is impossible for Pan Le to directly dig people out to play this role; is even more because of Zhou Wei's outstanding acting skills and can definitely control the role of Ling'er.
As a novice director, Pan Le consciously chooses an actor who can control the role to perform, which is undoubtedly an act of reducing his burden.
If you want to train an actor's acting skills, at least wait until you can integrate your directing skills! Otherwise, wouldn't the rookie director and rookie actor come up with a miserable rookie TV series?
Zhou Wei asked: "Then who plays the leading role?" ”
"Hehe, the actor hasn't been decided yet. When the time comes, pick it in the school, and if you don't pick it, you will go to the northern opera to pick it. If you can't pick it again, you can go to the play to pick it, and you can always pick a handsome guy who doesn't have good acting skills to come out and accompany you. Pan Le laughed.
In fact, when Pan Le originally wanted to shoot this TV series, he had already checked the traces of the original version of the male and female protagonists in his memory. Among them, Ling'er's original actor has no traces in the entertainment industry at this time. And Li Xiaoyao's actor Hu Ge is already a first-year student in the theater.
It is worth mentioning that before Brother Hu was admitted to the play, he had a period of experience as a children's TV host. Before that, he joined an art troupe of a TV station in elementary school and learned performance memory.
Pan Le believes that even if this TV series is three years earlier than the original time, Brother Hu should be able to play the role of Li Xiaoyao well. It is enough for the guy who usually loves to laugh to deduce a young man who is very persistent in love in the play.
In short, the two leading actors in Pan Le's mind have been released after he checked the original starring situation in his heart. However, because Brother Hu is currently in the play and the two have not been in contact before, it is too unbelievable to lock people without casting. (To be continued......)
