Chapter Twenty-Eight: Such a ......
Guo Baochang is a very unlucky director, although he started his career as a director after graduating from the Beijing Film Academy in 64 years and won awards softly, but he was not happy in his heart, because those were not what he wanted to do. For the person who was adopted in the mansion gate at the age of two, his mind was full of fascination with that era, so he began to write the novel "Mansion Gate" at the age of thirteen, and more than a dozen boxes of materials and manuscripts were destroyed twice during the special period, which can be said to be exhausting, and these two blows almost killed him.
Helpless, those stories are too charming, those people seem to be right in front of him, everyone who has heard Lao Guo tell these stories in person has persuaded him to put this story on the big screen, but no one knows how much disaster Lao Guo has suffered.
In the end, Guo Baochang began to write again, and he refused all film appointments from the end of '94, until the golden autumn and October of '95, when this manuscript was released after 20 years of continuous creation, but the entire creative cycle was more than 40 years between writing and writing.
The manuscript began to be widely praised as soon as it came out, and the characters with vivid personalities completely conquered the hearts of readers, making everyone who has read this manuscript seem to have seen everything in the capital with their own eyes.
In January of the millennium, Guo Baochang finally waited for his favorite platform, and CCTV attached great importance to "Mansion Gate" as a key project of the year.
The news spread quickly, and the major brokerage companies that smelled the smell began to run privately, just to win a role for their artists in this play, Huayi is one of the hardest working ones.
Everyone knows what it means to be listed as a key project by CCTV, and under the high ratings, as long as the actors participating in the show are not too bad, the popularity has basically been qualitative.
"Xiao Shao, from now on, I won't bother you, you just concentrate on reading the script, let's stay in the hotel directly after getting off the plane, you think about it for the past two days, and the night after tomorrow, I will take you to see Director Guo."
On the plane that Huangpu flew back to the capital, Zhang Wan handed Shao Yingying a manuscript, and after being contacted by the crew of "Blade 1937", he knew that Shao Yingying's kid was a bit evil, and maybe he could take down the role of Bai Jingqi like a blind cat and a dead mouse.
Shao Yingying shook his head while holding the script, and said while looking at the script: "I want to go home." ”
……
Zhang Wan was going crazy, he didn't understand why Shao Yingying was so screwed, it took about an hour and a half from the airport to the house he rented, what could he do with this hour and a half? Isn't it okay to find a hotel to rest or study the script in order to prepare for the day after tomorrow?
Shao Yingying ignored Zhang Wan in the car, and sat alone in the back seat of the car sent by the company to read the script, but it was the first time for him to enjoy the treatment of first-class cabin and special car transfer, even if it was for this treatment, he had to take the role of "Mansion Gate".
Back at the rental house, Shao Yingying, who turned on the computer, found all the information of "Mansion Gate", and he had been studying Jiang Wen and Chen Daoming for the past four months, but he didn't notice the fire of "Mansion Gate" at all.
Shao Yingying never imagined that "Mansion Gate" could soar directly from 17.74% to 21%!
Yes, the ratings of "Conquest" are not low, Beijing TV alone got 29%, but that is not the national ratings, it is the local ratings in Beijing, and people's "Mansion Gate" is really popular all over the country.
Shao Yingying also saw such a tidbit when he looked at the text introduction on the computer, on which were written the original words of director Guo Baochang: "These famous fifth-generation directors and big stars don't have any shelves in me, except for playing roles on camera, they rush to do any work, once filmed a scene in the shopping mall at the same time for me, Jiang Wen, and Zhang Yimou, and we were acting on it, Tianzhuang Zhuang was the executive director, Hou Yong held the camera, and He Qun was the artist, and people said that this scene was unprecedented." ”
Seeing this, Shao Yingying was completely obsessed, to check the cast and crew list of "Mansion Gate", Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tianzhuangzhuang, Jiang Wen, Siqin Gaowa, Liu Peiqi, Chen Baoguo...... These are all characters who can play at home, and this person is even more luxurious than the current "Blade 1937"!
If you drag the role of Bai Jingqi to your body...... Even if it's the teenager Bai Jingqi!
Shao Yingying immediately clicked on the TV series, and when the player popped up, he never thought that this super drama would allow him to watch it for a day and two nights!!!
It's hard to describe this drama because it's good-looking, and the depth of this drama is definitely not something that can be fully expressed by two words, there is the good and evil of human nature, the rules of the house and the conflict of the times. This is a story that would not have been possible to write without going through that era, and once it is written, it will instantly catch the eye.
This story is very real, and six generations up and down have been boiled into a pot of porridge with the era when no one can compete with the ** of family affection and money.
None of them are noble, none of them are extraordinary, one by one they are vulgar and unbearable, but we can find the original form around us immediately when we open our eyes, because these people are still lurking around everyone until now, maybe friends, maybe relatives, maybe lovers, in their personalities, more or less can find the shadow of a certain character in the mansion.
If you want to win the role of Bai Jingqi, the most critical place is to find the strength of the uncle of the capital, in that chaotic era, there was the depression of the late Qing Dynasty, the panic of the emperor changing every day, the lack of food, lack of trust, and the lack of pure feelings, and it is precisely because of so much experience that the capital has developed a special character. It is a very difficult force to take, in current words, even if a middle-level leader of the company is taken off his hat by the personnel department, he has to break his teeth and swallow a sentence in his stomach, "Lao Tzu doesn't want to do it for a long time, without your delay, maybe the uncle is now worth more than 100 million." At the same time, I had to take out the phone and ask the family 'have you got the fried noodles'.
If you want to take advantage of this strength, you must not only have a life, but also have a natural arrogance in your bones.
Shao Yingying didn't know much about that era, and after watching the whole "Mansion Gate", when he was sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, he still didn't find the feeling.
He wanted to sleep and rest, but when he thought of Zhang Wan, his eyes that had already begun to fight were suddenly forced to widen.
There was also a day in which he had to find his senses.
Shao Yingying rummaged through the period dramas related to the capital one by one in the huge database, and almost all of these scenes have similar prototypes, but these prototypes seem to have shortcomings.
Just when Shao Yingying was about to smash the computer in a hurry, a TV series that he clicked on opened opened the door of hope for him.
This play is a little related to "Mansion Gate", it is about the same era, there is a down-and-out uncle in it, the name of the play is "May Acacia Flowers", in which Zhang Tielin completely shows the character of Fan Wuye, and the whole charm is completely in line with the character that Shao Yingying wants to find.
Seeing this, Shao Yingying entered a state of thought, he was thinking that he was Bai Jingqi, and what he should do in the face of such a big change of the times under such a character.
Jiang Wenjiao used it instantly!
When browsing various period dramas, the lines in Shao Yingying's mind gradually became clear, and the structure, language structure, and expression of the entire character were completely matched, and at that moment, a very magical thing suddenly appeared in front of him.
Shao Yingying saw another self under the reflection of the computer screen, that self, looking at the acting skills of the actors on the screen, he raised one eyebrow and half of the corners of his mouth to look down, and he couldn't wait to pull people out of the computer screen and scold them...... A sense of superiority, a very special sense of superiority appeared in him.
Tick, tick, tick.
The phone rang at an inopportune time, and it was already half past three in the afternoon when Shao Yingying picked up the phone, and just after it was connected, Zhang Wan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Young master, how are you preparing?" Hurry up and pack up, let's go to Director Guo's house at seven o'clock in the evening, and we will read the script more than 10 million......"
"I'm sleepy, let's get some sleep first."
"Hey...... Feed...... How can I put up such a ...... of you?"
Honk...... Honk...... Honk.
