Breaking into Kanto?

Seeing the title of the play, Xu Zhen was a little surprised.

Kanto, east of Shanhaiguan, generally refers to the vast fertile land in the northeast.

At the beginning of the last century, the Central Plains, especially Shandong, was plagued by natural and man-made disasters, and a large number of ordinary people were forced to flee to Kanto in order to survive.

Just looking at the title of the play, Xu Zhen feels that this TV series will probably be an epic masterpiece that tells the typical events of a specific historical period.

However, the document that Qiao Feng had just handed him was not very thick, only about three or four hundred pages, which was not as good as the scripts of 30-episode short dramas such as "Blue Blood Sword" and "Peerless Double Pride".

Could it be that this is a sub-script for a certain character?

Thinking like this, he opened the "script" in his hand, and then was stunned to find that the content of these three or four hundred pages was actually just a background introduction and story outline, and there was not a word in the main text of the script.

Xu Zhen: "......"

It's really "epic", just the background introduction is so long?!

Xu Zhen looked up at Qiao Feng and asked, "Brother Qiao, didn't they send the script?" ”

Qiao Feng said: "I didn't send it, I said that the script was too long, and I didn't have time to read it if I sent it, so let's just prepare it according to the story outline." ”

"When the time comes, they will draw the audition clips on the spot."

Xu Zhen asked, "Which role did the crew let me try?" ”

Qiao Feng pointed to a position in the document and said, "The second son of the old Zhu family, Zhu Chuanwu." ”

Saying that, he hesitated slightly, but still said: "But I went to probe in private, in fact, the second child of the Zhu family has already contacted other actors, but it has not been finalized yet." ”

"The crew called you over this time, probably not to let you play the second child of the Zhu family, but just to use this role as an excuse to trick you over."

Xu Zhen was slightly stunned and said, "I haven't read the script yet, is this the second child of the Zhu family the male protagonist?" ”

Qiao Feng shook his head and said, "No, the actor is the old man of the Zhu family." ”

"But the second son, Zhu Chuanwu, has the most roles among the three sons, and the character settings are also the most brilliant."

"I won't say much about the specifics, you can see for yourself in a while."

"My personal opinion is that we will try every effort to try this drama, and it is best to win the role of Zhu Chuanwu, if we can't get it...... Just fight with your face. ”

"Hahaha......" Xu Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this turn.

Qiao Feng also smiled helplessly, spread his hands and said: "Hey, there is no way, the boss of the Zhu family is a wreck, and the third child is a family treasure, and they are not brilliant roles, I really don't want you to play them." ”

"But I can't afford to miss this drama, I just struggled all the way...... Do you know which actor the old man of the Zhu family is set? ”

Xu Zhen asked, "Which one?" ”

Qiao Feng said: "It's Teacher Li Yongbin!" ”

"Ah......" Hearing this name, Xu Zhen couldn't help but exclaim.

Lao Tzu's Italian cannon!

Obediently, can you play with Li Yunlong as a father and son? ?

I really want to act!

This is really if you can't win it, you have to fight for it with a dead face!

Qiao Feng said: "You are acting in a lot of TV series now, but the genre is relatively concentrated, all of them are costume dramas, and the character settings are also biased towards the setting of noble sons and beautiful men in ancient costumes." ”

"Personally, I think that while you haven't debuted for a long time now, it's time to take on a book of other types to broaden your acting path, so that there will be more room for choice in the future."

""Crossing the Guandong" is a good opportunity, with a good script and a deep background, and I can also take the opportunity to meet Li Yunlong...... Bah! Teacher Li Yongbin's acting skills. ”

"In the short term, "Breaking through the East" may not be the most profitable, but this drama can definitely bring great help to your career development."

Xu Zhen nodded, deeply agreeing with Qiao Feng's words.

Recently, due to the popularity of "Blue Blood Sword", Xu Zhen unsurprisingly received a large number of TV series appointments.

More than 90% of them are costume dramas, and many of them even directly gave the male number one drama appointment.

Xu Zhen doesn't want to play the leading actor?

I definitely want to.

The male protagonist is the core of a drama, and all the plots are for the male protagonist, and he doesn't need to worry that his performance will dominate and affect the rhythm of the whole play.

However, with Xu Zhen's current coffee position, he is not yet able to take the lead in a big production crew, and the male number one drama contract he can receive is either a small-cost drama or a male protagonist in a big female protagonist drama.

It's not that these two types of roles can't be accepted, but Qiao Feng has flipped through those scripts from beginning to end, and none of them are above the level.

He knows that Xu Zhen is now in the rising period of his career, and filming would rather be lacking than excessive.

The results of every drama Xu Zhen is starring in now will have a huge impact on his future development.

Therefore, although there are five or six crews who have been in contact with Qiao Feng recently, he finally only took out one "Breaking the Guandong" to show Xu Zhen.

The other five were killed directly at the broker.

"The audition is scheduled for the 12th of this month, and you have less than a week to prepare."

Qiao Feng encouraged: "Don't have too much pressure, the competition with you is basically all young actors, among your peers, your acting skills are advantageous." ”

"If you want to say that the only thing that is almost meaningful, it is that the setting of Zhu Chuanwu's character is quite different from your own temperament and image."

"But in terms of adjusting your temperament, I'm sure you should have some experience as well."

After explaining this, Qiao Feng grinned and said, "In the final analysis, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"Anyway, you just have to work hard to prepare for the audition, and I'll take care of the rest."

With that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and each went to make preparations within the scope of his duties.

……

It took Xu Zhen an afternoon to finish reading the synopsis of "Breaking through the Guandong".

After reading the first time, he immediately watched it a second time, and at the same time took out a few large blank sheets of paper to record the logical clues of the story while reading.

It wasn't until more than nine o'clock in the evening that he finally smoothed out a few logical lines of "Breaking through the Guandong".

Xu Zhen closed the script and reminisced about the story he had just seen, full of emotion.

"Crossing the Guandong" is indeed worthy of an epic masterpiece, with a time span of up to half a century, the background involves the vast land from the Central Plains to the Kanto, typical characters and typical events are impressive, and the human tragicomedy is thrilling and heart-wrenching.

Especially the role of Zhu Chuanwu, the second eldest member of the Zhu family.

For the first time, Xu Zhen clearly saw the "character arc" on the body of the TV series character.

From the initial debut to the final curtain call, the character of Zhu Chuanwu has achieved a clear transformation.

How to interpret this change is a challenge that Xu Zhen has never been exposed to before.
