Chapter 270: Why is it called "Heavenly Dragon Babu"

"Love and hate are in an instant~

Raise a glass to the moon..."

"The New Concubine Drunk" on the earth can be popular and popular, in addition to the song itself being good enough, it also has a deep relationship with Li Yugang's anti-string performance on the Avenue of Stars.

Although Yang Yue's "New Concubine Drunk" produced for Yin Lanqiu is equipped with a song MV, with Yin Lanqiu and Yu Fei's stage performances of various Tsing Yi characters in Peking Opera as the content, it is worse than Li Yugang's after all.

Therefore, Yang Yue put some effort into the arrangement of this song to make it more ear-catching.

As Luo Weidong hears now, at the beginning of the song, it is the texture of an old-fashioned record player playing songs a hundred years ago.

After a few four amazing dramatic cappella singing, it immediately turned to a male pop song singing.

"That year's snowflakes fell on the plum blossoms

There was too much sorrow left next to Huaqing Pond that year..."

Luo Weidong was directly stunned.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that Yin Lanqiu was a man.

But he is an opera master who has been acting in Tsing Yi for more than 20 years.

is also because of this, Yin Lanqiu's song is not only amazing, but also the male voice is also very soft and silky, and the connection with the drama is not abrupt at all.

watched the MV and listened to the song, and after listening to it, Luo Weidong immediately came up with the intention of writing a long article for this song.

As a result, when I looked at the time, I found that it was almost eight o'clock.

"Damn, I'm afraid I'm going to be late today!"

Muttering to himself, he hurried to wash.

The place where he lives is a little far away from the company, and he may not be able to get to the company before 9 o'clock when he goes out late.

Luo Weidong's psychological activities and Wei Bo's long essay are equivalent to a microcosm of many singers after hearing Yang Yue's songs in April, such as "Cold River Snow" and "New Concubine Drunk".

So far, Yang Yue has released nearly 20 national style songs, of which two or three have been integrated into the drama.

has begun to have a substantial impact on the music scene in China.

Many musicians and singers have been greatly inspired by Yang Yue's songs, and the number of appearances of Chinese style songs on various music platforms has gradually increased, and the quality has also improved significantly.

Yang Yue didn't know much about this, because he really shifted most of his attention to the preparation of "Dragon Babu".

In terms of copying, Yang Yue, in order to catch up with the schedule and further release his "strength", published at least 30,000 words a day.

In addition to this, he also created character booklets directly from memory.

That is to say, the important characters of "Dragon Babu" are written in advance - not the kind of simple and rough character introduction, but a list of all aspects related to it, often more than 1,000 words of character close-ups.

Then Weng Wenfan, He Liang, and Yang Xudong are responsible for selecting eligible actors from the entertainment industry.

He Liang and Yang Xudong don't talk about it, Weng Wenfan is the executive producer of the crew, and the three of them have been in the entertainment industry for many years, and they know a lot of actors.

Therefore, the efficiency of letting these three people conduct preliminary actor screening is definitely higher than that of Yang Yue alone.

Yang Yue re-selected among the three people.

If none of the three people looking for them matched Yang Yue's ideas, then he would look for them again and further expand the scope of his search.

For example, students majoring in acting, and even vegans with no acting experience at all.

After the second selection, it is the interview, that is, the audition.

So the casting process is really complicated.

Fortunately, Yang Yue is the only big boss of this drama, and no other investors have come in, making the casting process easier.

Yang Yue's casting did not rely entirely on the image in the book, but compared it with the multiple versions of "Dragon Babu" that he had seen.

First of all, Qiao Feng, Yang Yue was ready to follow Hu Jun's version, because he felt that Hu Jun's body shape and temperament were more like a grassland warrior.

Duan Yu's words, Yang Yue felt that Chen Haomin's version and Lin Zhiying's version had their own advantages and disadvantages between the two lessons.

He will try to find an actor who can combine the two, and the bottom line is that it can't be worse than these two versions.

Xuzhu's words, Yang Yue has only seen the two versions of Fan Shaohuang and Gao Hu, and he also knows that Han Dong has acted, but it is not clear what is in front of him.

He also felt that the three people played by each other had their own advantages and disadvantages.

However, in the original book, it is said that Xuzhu looks ugly, and if you shoot a TV series, you must not really find a stinky man to play it, which is the case in all versions of Tianlong.

Yang Yue thought the same way.

He even felt that those versions of Xuzhu actors were too old - Xuzhu in the original book was only 24 years old after all, and he was naïve and straightforward.

It's better to find a young actor to play it.

Of course, if young actors can't play that feeling, they can only relax the age limit for actors.

After that, there are several main female characters.

The role of Wang Yuyan must have been left to Zhou Qian, after all, she is exactly the same as Liu Tianxian.

The rest such as A Zhu, A Zi, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, Menggu, etc., the casting must be beautiful first, and secondly, it must be in line with the character's temperament.

Nowadays, the showbiz industry in China is very involuted, especially for young actors.

In the absence of external factors to intervene, Yang Yue believes that he will definitely be able to find an actor who meets his requirements.

In addition to casting, Yang Yue cares about and directly intervenes in the crew in three aspects: styling, costumes, and props.

As a drama fan in his previous life, he knew that in addition to the casting of actors, it was easy for the audience to complain if the styling, costumes, and props were not done well.

However, with the insight of his previous life, coupled with the fact that "Dragon Babu" was premiered in Shenzhou, Yang Yue is sure that the styling, costumes, and props will become the highlight of the show.

Dream Media Company.

Film and Television Production Department.

He Liang saw that it was almost six o'clock, so he was ready to get off work.

When he came out, he saw that Yang Xudong was still sitting in the office of the screenwriter team, so he couldn't help but walk in.

They all walked to Yang Xudong's table, and He Liang found that Yang Xudong still hadn't noticed him, so he looked at the computer curiously.

saw Yang Xudong reading "Dragon Babu" written by Yang Yue.

couldn't help laughing: "Who told Mr. Yang that day that the story is not good, no matter how much investment in TV series, it will not be good to shoot?" Now I forgot to get off work. ”

Yang Xudong glanced up at He Liang when he heard this, and continued to look at the manuscript sent by Yang Yue on the computer.

"I admit that I underestimated Mr. Yang before. But now the more I look at it, the more I feel pity. ”

"What's wrong?" He Liang asked puzzled.

Yang Xudong sighed: "It's a pity that Mr. Yang's book was born now, if it was put twenty or thirty years ago, it might become a martial arts 'masterpiece' that is popular throughout the entire discourse." ”

He Liang laughed when he heard this, "Mr. Yang is not here, even if you lick him, you don't have to lick him so exaggeratedly, right?" ”

"I didn't lick it." Yang Xudong said a little unhappily, "Although I have only read one or two hundred thousand words so far, I am already impressed by the layout and character design of this one."

Even, I have some ideas about why this is called "Dragon Babu". ”

"Why?" He asked curiously.

Because of the casting needs, he also understood the general content of this book, but he really didn't think about why it was named "Dragon Babu".
