After reading the list of candidates for the first protagonist provided by Zhao Jiadong, Li Xiangping was a little surprised, and the information on the top was Brother Xiao Ming, the leader of the Yellow Sect, the second, the princess's ex-husband, Li Yapeng, who was called a soft rice man by many people in later generations, and the third, Chen Kun......

This Nima seems to be the most popular of these people in these years, and even Li Xiangping, who doesn't pay much attention to the film and television industry, can now see the news of these people in the media every day.

Looking at Li Xiangping looking through the information there, Zhao Jiadong smiled and said: "Xiangping, how is it, are you still satisfied with these people that Uncle Zhao is looking for?" ”

"This, these people are so popular, can they come and act in a Go drama?"

Zhao Jiadong waved his hand very casually, looking not worried at all: "I won't discuss the question of whether you can invite people today, just talk about whether it is suitable or not, come, Elder Wang, Director Qiu, hehe,"

Speaking of this, Zhao Jiadong smiled and nodded at Lao Nie and Team Leader Hua: "There are also several masters in the Go world, let's discuss and discuss now to see which one is the most suitable, by the way, let's discuss Shi Xiangxia's candidate first, because in this drama, we follow Xiangping's advice and put the main perspective on Shi Xiangxia, which means that he is the first protagonist in the whole play, let's discuss him first, and then decide on Fan Xiping's candidate." ”

Looking at Zhao Jiadong's occasional "domineering leak", Li Xiangping also felt that his worries just now were a bit silly. Zhao Jiadong, who is that? It is no exaggeration to say that he is the handful of people who stand at the top of the food chain in the entire entertainment industry. To give a very simple example, when later generations mentioned that a certain star is not popular, everyone will often say: Well, so-and-so is very popular now, and he has got a lot of film and television resources.

That's right, evaluating whether a star is popular or not, and whether he can "get resources", this is a rather hardcore indicator, but Zhao Jiadong is a small group of people who can "provide resources".

In particular, the resources he provides are quite high-quality, such as the drama "Big Master", which has not yet started filming, and has been scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV, so he and those popular stars are actually two classes at all.

If you consider that he is not short of money now, and he has already financed his funds, it seems that he is really qualified to be domineering.

After figuring out this joint, Li Xiangping didn't worry about anything else, and began to concentrate on thinking about the problem of his plug-in actor.

It's a pity that it's a pity, don't look at him being very interested in this "big country", and shouting that the old Shi actor has to agree with him, but if he really asks him to come up with some specific opinions, he, a layman, really can't come up with it.

For example, take Brother Xiao Ming, the leader of the Huang Sect, for example, is it appropriate for him to play Lao Shi? Li Xiangping can't say it?

If so, what's good? If it is not suitable, what is it that is not suitable? Li Xiangping couldn't say anything.

In addition, if you think he is not suitable, then what do you personally think is the most suitable? Of course, Li Xiangping couldn't say it either.

It was precisely because he couldn't say anything that when Zhao Jiadong really asked his opinion, Li Xiangping was a little dumbfounded.

In desperation, Li Xiangping had no choice but to directly sacrifice the Dafa of diverting his gaze, he aimed his eyes at Lao Nie, and pretended to respect him very much:

"Hehe, Mr. Nie, what do you think? Who do you think is the best to play Shi Xiangxia? ”

Lao Nie didn't get on Li Xiangping this time: "Haha, you ask me?" I haven't read the script, I don't know what kind of story this is, you talk first, you talk first, I and Team Leader Hua came here this time, just to show our attitude in the Go world, and I very much support the filming of such a TV series, come on, let me read the script first before ......."

After finishing speaking, Lao Nie Ruo began to look through the script.

Li Xiangping had no choice but to turn his attention to Team Leader Hua for help, and Team Leader Hua smiled:

"I only found out about this yesterday, so my attitude is the same as Lao Nie, and I don't have the right to speak at all now, but Xiangping, what are you anxious about, the so-called art industry has a specialization, and we are experts in playing Go, but when it comes to film and television dramas, there are so many experts here, I think we should listen to the experts first."

When Team Leader Hua finished speaking, everyone's eyes naturally focused on the other two people in the room. Li Xiangping could see that Zhao Jiadong seemed to have a lot of respect for the old man Wang who was about to enter the ground:

"Elder Wang, why don't you talk about it first?"

And that Advisor Wang was really not polite at all, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said amazingly:

"Hehe Xiao Zhao, I've read your script, it's a good script! If it weren't for a good script, I wouldn't have agreed to be this consultant, but I'll tell you the truth, if you want to shoot the story of this script completely, and make it look good and give out the flavor, then these actors you are looking for are not suitable, no, let alone those popular stars, I have been thinking about domestic actors all over the past few days, and I really didn't expect a suitable one. ”

Hearing Old Man Wang say this, Li Xiangping looked sideways at that time, and said in his heart, Who is this person? With such a big tone, you still want to be a domestic actor? With your small body, are you qualified to think about Chinese actors?

Li Xiangping disagreed, but Zhao Jiadong became more and more respectful:

"Elder Wang, you said, what do you think is wrong with the script?"

The old man smiled: "It's not that there is a problem with the script, I just said, this is really a good script, after reading this script, now even I want to see this drama, but what, this script has too high requirements for actors, it is really not something that ordinary people can do, in my opinion, if you want to play the two roles of Fan Shi well, you have to have super acting skills, especially Shi Xiangxia, because he is the first protagonist, the whole drama is his perspective, so if you want to play him well, you have to contribute an actor-level performance." ”

Li Xiangping didn't know why he heard it, but he didn't expect his old man to suddenly smile at him:

"Hehe Xiangping, I heard that this drama was first of all the idea you proposed, so in the whole drama, there are a lot of competition scenes, right? And I read the whole script, and the scenes of these games are very important, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the skeleton of the whole script, is that true? ”

"Yes, Mr. Wang, I think so, since it is a Go theme, of course, it must be based on Go, and there will naturally be competitions in Go, the reason why I designed so many competition scenes, my original intention is actually to tell you: Go, in fact, you don't need to attach to other things, just telling the story of Go itself, it should be exciting enough."

"That's right," the old man smiled and nodded: "After reading the script, I understand what you mean very well, in fact, the whole story is indeed exciting, but have you thought about it, since these game scenes are so important, they are the skeleton of the entire script, and the plot of the whole drama is all driven by these games, so how can these game scenes be filmed vividly?" What about good shooting? , at least, at least, can it be filmed so that the audience can understand it? ”

"This ......"

The old man's series of rhetorical questions directly stopped Li Xiangping, because he, a layman, couldn't answer any of these questions.

However, although he couldn't answer, he also vaguely understood why the old man said that this drama has high requirements for actors.

In the framework of the whole script designed by himself, of course, there are a large number of game scenes, for example, there are two Shiban chess games between Fan Shi and the two of them, and in the whole play, the meaning of these two games is different.

"When the Lake Ten Bureaus" is naturally the final climax, but the previous Fan Shi Shiban should reflect Lao Shi's growth delay, growth anxiety and the brotherhood of Fan Shi.

For example, in the famous game of "Nine Dragons Dancing Together" of Shi Xiangxia VS Cheng Lanru, in this drama, this game is also given a new meaning: first, it is still brotherhood, this is Shi Xiangxia's revenge for his senior brother, and second, through this game of chess, Shi Xiangxia in the superficial play has really grown up, and it is precisely because he defeated Cheng Lanru, the leader of the martial arts league at the time, that this made "Danghu Ten Rounds" possible.

It is no exaggeration to say that such competition scenes are basically the highlight of this drama, as Old Man Wang just said, because the plot of the whole drama is actually driven by these competition scenes.

Because these are the main plays, even Li Xiangping, a layman, knows that these competition scenes are very important and must not be perfunctory, and the success or failure of these scenes can directly determine the success or failure of the whole drama-------

This kind of truth is really superficial and easy to understand, not to mention anything else, just talk about those Hong Kong-made kung fu movies in ancient times, you know that in the seventies and eighties of the last century, even if Hong Kong people made a bad kung fu movie, but they would not fool around in the last fight scene, and they would definitely make a serious comparison.

Why is this happening? Because in Hong Kong films in ancient times, this scene must be the highlight and the final climax, so they generally don't mess around.

I don't dare to be perfunctory when I make a bad movie, so if I want to make a qualified drama or even an excellent drama, I naturally dare not be perfunctory.

This brings us to the question: how to use film and television lenses to make a game of Go look good?

Li Xiangping is a layman, so he has never thought about this problem before.

Also because of this layman, even if he was thinking about it now, he couldn't find any clue.

Because this is not a problem that can be solved by simple uniforms.

The gestures of the non-actors are very standard, the shape of the chess pieces on the chessboard is very correct, and the chess equipment used as props is very exquisite, and the problems that can be solved with these things.

Because doing the above can only be regarded as basically qualified, which makes people feel that it is like that.

However, if you want to get more, such as letting the audience understand the trend of the whole game through these game scenes, and even understand the connotation behind the game, these alone will definitely not solve the problem.

Most of the time, these problems are solved through the performance of the actors.

Since it is to be solved through performance, a new problem will arise:

Go is a very restrained game, a very "quiet" game, although as a qualified actor, expressing emotions such as "joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness" should be a basic skill, but the joy, anger and sorrow in Go are actually different from normal emotions most of the time------

Here's a very simple example: a chess player realizes that he will soon win a game, an opponent he really wants to win, a game that he really wants to win!

So according to normal emotions, this chess player should have been "ecstatic" at that time, at the very least, his heart should have been full of joy at that time.

But in film and television dramas, can actors perform according to normal emotions?

For example, Li Xiangping, before he won a world championship, would he be "ecstatic" before his opponent conceded defeat? Or even laughing?

Of course, this is impossible, if anyone dares to act like this, Li Xiangping guarantees that he will be the first to rush up and shoot him to death.

But if you don't play like this, for example, like most professional chess players, before winning, most of them must be "happy and angry"-------

There is no doubt that it is definitely more realistic to act like this, but if you act like this, what do you let the audience watch? How do you express what you want to express?

Li Xiangping began to pretend to think------

Of course he is pretending there, because for film and television, he is a pure layman, so what else can he come up with with a person like him?

Fortunately, Old Man Wang was also empathetic, knowing that he was a layman, so he didn't embarrass him, but turned to Coach Qiu and said:

"Xiao Qiu, have you thought about this?"

The middle-aged man who is said to be the director smiled:

"I thought about it a little before, but I was still immature, and I was about to ask Elder Wang for advice."

These words once again attracted Li Xiangping's sideways eyes, and he said in his heart that he really has a specialization in the art industry, look at it, he didn't think about this problem before, but when he was a director, he not only thought about it a long time ago, but even thought of a solution.

Maybe it happened to see Li Xiangping read it, and the director Qiu suddenly smiled at Li Xiangping:

"Xiangping, you know, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, the method I came up with is still related to you."

"Huh?!"

"Hehe, really, Xiangping, you may not know, I'm your super chess fan, as long as it's your game, I've watched almost all of it, it's just that I watched your game a lot, but let me get an inspiration."

"Oh?"

Now Li Xiangping is really interested:

"What inspires?"
