Chapter 163: "Three Kingdoms" enters the group
In mid-January, the audition turmoil of the crew of "Crossing the Guandong" came to an end, and the final exams of the first semester of the first semester of Chinese opera have all ended.
So, on the 15th, Xu Zhen went to Jiangnan Film and Television City in Wuzhou Province in accordance with the notice of the crew of "Three Kingdoms".
This film and television city was built in the 90s of the last century, and it is not only the main filming location of the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also most of the scenes of "The First Knife in the World" were filmed here.
is about to go to his hometown to revisit, Xu Zhen feels very kind.
The crew of "Three Kingdoms" started filming at the beginning of September last year, and the first to start filming was the plot before the Battle of Guandu.
Now more than four months have passed, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and other main actors have all finished and gone home, and the plot on Jiangdong's side has just started filming.
Speaking of this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but think of an interesting thing:
In the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the actor who played Zhou Yu not only played Zhou Yu, but also played Yuan Shao.
- Yes, Zhou Yu and Yuan Shao are played by the same person, can you believe it?
Moreover, this kind of situation of "one person playing two roles" is not the only case in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it is quite common.
For example, Gongsun Zan later played the middle-aged and elderly Zhao Yun, Sun Jian and Sun Quan's father and son were played by the same person, Ji Ling and Huang Zhong were also played by the same person, and so on.
The most fierce is that there is an actor, who also played Xu Chu of Cao Wei, Liao Hua of Shu Han, Tai Shici of Eastern Wu, and Bao Xin among the princes of the Eighteen Roads in the play.
Each one is a heavyweight role.
Xu Zhen made up for it, if this situation is put now, he will play Yuan Shao first, and then turn around to play Zhou Yu......
He couldn't help but shudder.
……
On the evening of the 15th, Xu Zhen's plane arrived in Jiangnan City, and Qiao Feng, who arrived one step ahead of him, was already waiting at the airport.
To Xu Zhen's surprise, the people who came to pick him up were not only Qiao Feng and the company's driver, but also another acquaintance: the queen director of Dongyue Film and Television, Chu Xiaoxiong.
Xu Zhen has worked with Director Chu twice, once in "The Peerless Twins" and once in "Wen Liangzhu".
Director Chu's filming is crisp and neat, Xu Zhen is also very worry-free, the two work together very happily, and their personal relationship has always been good.
After Xu Zhen came out with his suitcase, he found Chu Xiaoxiong and Qiao Feng standing together, and said in surprise: "Director Xiong!" ”
However, as soon as the words came out, he found that his mouth was full.
God drops a "bear guide"......
The surname is Chu, not Xiong!
"Hahaha......" When Chu Xiaoxiong heard this, he leaned forward and closed his back with a smile, and the flesh on his face trembled very rhythmically.
Of course, he is called "Director Bear" behind his back.
But Chu Xiaoxiong not only didn't feel angry, but also felt that this title was quite cute.
"Come, Director Xiong will give you a bear hug!"
Chu Xiaoxiong stepped forward, patted Xu Zhen on the back with a smile, and led him into the nanny car.
The two sat side by side on the two seats in the middle of the nanny car, and Xu Zhen asked, "Director Chu, why are you here?" Did you also come to Jiangnan to film? ”
Chu Xiaoxiong raised his eyebrows, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Yes, I'm also filming here." ”
Xu Zhen said: "Which drama are you filming?" ”
Hearing this question, Chu Xiaoxiong suddenly grinned and said, "Three Kingdoms." ”
"I am one of the assistant directors of "Three Kingdoms", mainly responsible for directing the plot of Jiangdong."
He looked at Xu Zhen's mouth growing in surprise, and said with a smile: "You will mainly follow me in the next two months." ”
"Don't worry, with your brother and I sitting here, I will definitely make Zhou Lang heroic and handsome!"
Xu Zhen's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.
- The assistant director of the Jiangdong group is actually Chu Xiaoxiong, which is really a surprise.
Others go through the back door to "bring money into the group", I am amazing, I directly brought a director!
Xu Zhen said: "Director Chu, I remember that the new drama of our company was also directed by you, isn't there a conflict between the two sides in time?" ”
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiong's face suddenly sank, and he said, "Oh, you mean "The Secret History of the Harem", that drama is not directed by me." ”
Xu Zhen was slightly stunned.
Isn't Director Chu the queen director of Dongyue costume dramas?
"The Secret History of the Harem" is no better than "Wen Liangzhu", this is an ordinary TV series, why did you suddenly change the director?
At the mention of this, Chu Xiaoxiong was obviously angry, and said: "Have you read the script of "The Secret History of the Harem"? I remember that the company seemed to want you to play the male lead at first. ”
Xu Zhen said: "Look, Brother Qiao and I don't particularly like that book, so I didn't take it." ”
Chu Xiaoxiong pouted and said: "I also said that the book is not good, and then the new minister directly scolded me, saying that I was outdated, outdated, and my aesthetics could not keep up with the times." ”
"Originally, in the first half of this year, I said that I would shoot "Immortal Sword", and Man Ling wrote all the scripts, but as soon as this goods came, she had to change the palace fighting drama."
Chu Xiaoxiong became more and more angry the more he spoke, and said: "He can keep up with the times, seeing that the palace fighting drama on the other side of the Xiangjiang River is on fire, he hurriedly rushed to a script to start filming." ”
"It's too late, the personnel can't be made up, and our company's team is all filming martial arts dramas, so he's not in the right way."
“……”
Chu Xiaoxiong may have been suffocated for a while, and he was full of grievances and had nowhere to say, but when he saw Xu Zhen at this time, he couldn't help but complain all the way.
Because this matter involves contradictions within the company, although Xu Zhen also agrees with Chu Xiaoxiong's point of view in his heart, he is not ready to echo it.
He is just a junior who has just joined the company for less than two years, no better than a veteran like Chu Xiaoxiong, and he can't blame the leader behind his back.
The new minister of the Dongyue Costume Division is surnamed Zou and is called Zou Qingchun.
Xu Zhen had met him twice before, on the one hand, this person praised Xu Zhen's development momentum in the past two years, and on the other hand, he faintly beat him, blaming him for not wanting to make money for the company.
Xu Zhen listened honestly, pretending not to understand his voiceover.
Regarding making money, to be honest, Xu Zhen is quite confident.
The broadcast rights of "The Peerless Twins" and "The First Knife in the World" have been sold for several rounds, and the money earned back exceeds the cost by several times.
As one of the leading actors in these two dramas, Xu Zhen has played a big role, which is obvious to everyone inside and outside the company.
In addition, "Wen Liangzhu", which the company filmed to snatch the cake of digital films, is also starring Xu Zhen, and his salary is almost negligible in order to reduce costs.
Not to mention, due to Xu Zhen's good development momentum in the past two years, the company has successfully signed several potential artists.
It can be said that for the small temple of Dongyue, Xu Zhen is a very thick pillar, and one person has created at least 30% of the profit.
If you have to accuse, you can only say that he received few endorsements, and he didn't take the "Secret History of the Harem", and he didn't do his best for the company.
But fortunately, Chairman Cai Shixian is still towards him, and the agent Qiao Feng is undoubtedly on Xu Zhen's side.
The new minister, Zou Qingchun, was caught in the middle, and he couldn't find any flowers.
Xu Zhen simply treated him as if he didn't exist, and if there was any problem, he would leave it to Qiao Feng to deal with.
……
That night, the crew of "Three Kingdoms" held a reception banquet for Xu Zhen and other new actors.
The location is set in a rather old-fashioned tavern.
In the hall, the diners kneel on the futon in two rows, and a small table is placed in front of one person, which is very like the banquet of the Three Kingdoms.
However, there is a slight spoiler of the atmosphere: there are first-class long tables on the high walls of the hall, on which are all kinds of hot and cold food.
- Yes, it's actually a buffet.
Xu Zhen saw that the actors who were going to play Sun Quan, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and others in the future went to the table one by one with trays to get wine and meat, and felt that the painting style was very strange.
