Chapter 365: The Hidden Corner

"The Hidden Corner?"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows.

"Well, it's adapted from a reasoning, the original book seems to be called "Bad Boy", it is about a boy who studies well and meets two bad teenagers, and they ......"

"You don't have to introduce me."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "I know." ”

"You know?" Zhou Mengxue looked surprised.

"Hmm."

"You...... How do you know? ”

"I've seen it in its original form."

"Oh."

Li Chuan didn't lie, he did watch the original book of "The Hidden Corner" - "Bad Boy", and he watched it relatively early, not after the broadcast of "The Hidden Corner".

If he were to follow the timeline of this life, he would have seen the time four years ago.

Four years ago, he was just a freshman in college, and he had more time and read a lot of extracurricular books.

Among them, "Bad Boy" was the one that impressed him very deeply.

There are two main points that impress.

One is the content.

"Bad Boy" is about a school bully teenager - Zhu Chaoyang, who experienced ups and downs in his childhood, and encountered events such as his parents' divorce and campus bullying.

These incidents caused a lot of damage to his psyche.

One summer vacation, he came into contact with two delinquent teenagers - Ding Hao and Pupu.

They are accidentally involved in a murder and have since embarked on a road of no return.

On this road, Zhu Chaoyang has experienced one vicious incident after another, received one challenge after another, the people and things around him have undergone great changes, and his psychology has gradually become extremely cold.

In the end, with his ingenuity and teenage appearance, he deceived everyone and became the ultimate boss of the whole story.

In a practical sense, "Bad Boy" is a film that reflects the mental health of teenagers, and the angle is very novel and can make people shine.

From the perspective of the storyline, the development of "Bad Boy" is reasonable, there are no obvious flaws, and the final reversal is also very exciting and good-looking.

Based on these two points alone, it can be determined that "Bad Boy" is a very good mystery suspense.

It also has a problem, though.

The problem is that its overall style is too dark and does not conform to the mainstream values of today's society.

Because of this, it has been criticized by many people.

However, Li Chuan had a different idea.

He thought "Bad Boy" was very good-looking, exciting, and very much in line with his taste, so he was quite impressed.

The second is the author.

Zijin Chen, the author of "Bad Boy", is a 2004 graduate of Zhejiang Provincial University.

Li Chuan is a 2014 graduate, and Zijin Chen happens to be ten years ahead of him.

Although he didn't know Zijin Chen, the feeling that a senior wrote about it was still a little different.

This is also a key point that impressed him.

It was because he was impressed that when "The Hidden Corner" was broadcast, he went to watch it as soon as possible.

"The Hidden Corner" has changed many places compared to the original "Bad Boy", "The Hidden Corner" retains the original storyline, but adjusts some characters and hides some plots, making the overall style much brighter.

Although these changes hurt the integrity and rationality of the story to a certain extent, because of the bright style, they expanded a large number of audiences, which also made the show instantly popular all over the country after it was broadcast.

Li Chuan still remembers the grand occasion after the broadcast of "The Hidden Corner".

At that time, all kinds of stalks in the play were prevalent, and the topic was extremely discussed, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was popular all over the country.

A hit drama can achieve many actors.

That's what "The Hidden Corner" is.

The actors in "The Hidden Corner" are not very popular, well-known, and popular, and the only one who can handle it is Qin Hao, and the rest are not good.

However, these unknown actors, after the broadcast of "The Hidden Corner", have all received a great boost in their careers.

Among them, the most representative is Zhang Songwen.

Zhang Songwen is an old actor who has acted for many years, and he has not been well-known until he starred in Zhu Yongping (Zhu Chaoyang's father) in "The Hidden Corner", which came into the public eye.

Based on this, he was able to star in "Gao Qiqiang" in "Hurricane" in the later stage...... as soon as "Hurricane" came out, his career as an actor was like a rocket, straight into the sky, and became a famous actor in the country.

Zhou Mengxue is not Zhang Songwen, so she may not get such a life experience.

However, being able to star in "The Hidden Corner" also has many benefits for her.

If nothing else, at least it can help her officially set foot in the film and television industry and gain a firm foothold.

Zhou Mengxue now has only one work, "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary".

And "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" is a series of short dramas, although it is very popular, it does not belong to traditional film and television works.

So strictly speaking, Zhou Mengxue has not officially stepped into the film and television industry.

It is very unrealistic for a newcomer who has not set foot in the film and television industry to become a big star and actor overnight.

The road must be taken step by step, and you can't be too ambitious, and you want to fly if you don't learn to run.

In Li Chuan's view, if Zhou Mengxue wants to achieve her goal, the most important job at present is to officially set foot in the film and television industry and gain a firm foothold.

From this point of view, starring in "The Hidden Corner" is a very good opportunity.

"'The Hidden Corner' is good, it's a good opportunity, you have to take it." Li Chuan reminded.

"I want to grasp it too, but ......"

"But what?"

"They only gave me a small role."

"Huh?"

Li Chuan's face was stunned, and then he reacted and slapped his forehead reluctantly.

He had almost forgotten about it.

He just thought that "The Hidden Corner" would become popular in the future, but he ignored the character.

"The Hidden Corner" will indeed become popular in the future, and after it becomes popular, it will indeed help many people improve their careers, but there must be a premise in this, that is, the role is in place.

A drama, no matter how popular it is, it is impossible for all the actors in the play to follow the fire, only the protagonist and some supporting roles with heavy scenes or distinct positioning can follow the fire, those roles with few scenes and unclear positioning are generally not remembered by the audience.

Therefore, if Zhou Mengxue wants to officially step into the film and television industry by starring in "The Hidden Corner" and gain a firm foothold, the role is also very important.

"What role did they give you?"

"Xu Jing."

"Xu Jing?" Li Chuan frowned slightly.

"It's the wife of the villain Zhang Dongsheng."

"Oh~."

Li Chuan thought about it.

The story of "Bad Boy" was caused by Zhang Dongsheng.

In the story, Zhang Dongsheng is a high-achieving student with a bright future, but because of his poor family background and driven by love, he married Xu Jing and became a door-to-door son-in-law.

He has been a son-in-law for several years and has done very well, but he has not been valued by Xu Jing and his family, but has lost his dignity as a man, which has made his mentality change a lot.

Later, he found out that Xu Jing was cheating and wanted to divorce him...... According to the "Prenuptial Agreement" signed at the beginning, after he divorced Xu Jing, he couldn't get a penny.

No money, no love, and the loss of dignity as a man...... All this made his psychology extremely distorted.

One day, he took a risk and pushed Xu Jing's parents off the cliff.

This scene happened to be captured by Zhu Chaoyang and others with a camera, which triggered a series of subsequent changes.

In the original book "Bad Boy", Zhang Dongsheng is the main villain.

In "The Hidden Corner", Zhang Dongsheng's role positioning has been further strengthened.

Why strengthen?

Because Zhang Dongsheng was played by Qin Hao.

Qin Hao is the biggest actor in "The Hidden Corner", and he is the only actor who can do it, so his role will naturally be strengthened.

This may seem unreasonable, but this is the rule of how society works, and no one can change it.

Zhang Dongsheng's role has been strengthened, limited to the role of Zhang Dongsheng.

His wife Xu Jing did not increase much in the role, but because of the role adjustment, some scenes were cut.

In his previous life, Li Chuan saw "The Hidden Corner" from beginning to end, and he didn't see Xu Jing leave the country a few times, and later, he even forgot about this role.

He can't remember it, and the audience probably can't remember it either.

From this, it can be seen that the sense of existence of Xu Jing's role is too low, not only has few scenes, but also is not brilliant at all, it is a little reluctant to say that it is a supporting role, but it is actually a group performance.

It is impossible for a group performance to absorb the dividends of the explosion of "The Hidden Corner".

'Xu Jing's role is not good, I have to change my role. ’’

Is there a suitable female character in The Hidden Corner? ’

Li Chuan frowned and thought about it.

In the drama "The Hidden Corner", there are not many female characters in it, and if you want to say that there are the most scenes, it must be Pop.

But Pupu is a little girl, and Zhou Mengxue can't act at all.

The second most drama should be Zhu Chaoyang's mother, Zhou Chunhong.

But Zhou Chunhong's role is positioned as a middle-aged woman, Zhou Mengxue is only in her twenties, and her appearance and figure are still like a little girl, so it is not suitable to play Zhou Chunhong.

'In addition to Pop and Zhou Chunhong, are there any other female characters? ’

'Oh, yes! There is also a Wang Yao! ’

Li Chuan's eyes lit up.

In the play, Zhu Chaoyang's father Zhu Yongping is the owner of an aquatic factory with a lot of assets, and after he divorced Zhu Chaoyang's mother Zhou Chunhong, he married a young and beautiful little wife, this person is Wang Yao.

The role of Wang Yao is very suitable for Zhou Mengxue.

Why?

The first is that the image is in line.

Wang Yao is characterized by being young and beautiful, about thirty years old, and dressed more fashionably...... Zhou Mengxue put on makeup, changed her clothes, and played such a role without pressure.

The second is that the role is heavy enough.

Wang Yao is a relatively important supporting role, with enough scenes, and it is very explosive.

Wang Yao's flashpoint mainly appeared after Zhu Jingjing's death.

Who is Zhu Jingjing?

Zhu Jingjing is the daughter of Zhu Yongping and Wang Yao.

According to the blood relationship, Zhu Jingjing is Zhu Chaoyang's half-sister, but the relationship between the two is very poor, and they didn't even know each other before.

Later, they met, but on the day they first met, Zhu Jingjing, who was raised to be a princess, insulted Zhu Chaoyang, Zhu Chaoyang was angry, pushed her downstairs and fell to her death.

After Zhu Jingjing's death, Wang Yao, out of her mother's intuition, felt that Zhu Chaoyang had done all this.

Therefore, she found Zhu Chaoyang and Zhou Chunhong and created a series of vicious incidents.

From the suspicion at the beginning to the subsequent vicious incidents, it was Wang Yao's flashpoint.

These flashpoints are the space to play.

Some people may say that the role of Wang Yao is more difficult to play, and Zhou Mengxue may be difficult to do.

Li Chuan doesn't see it that way.

Although he doesn't know how to act, he understands the importance of scripts.

In his opinion, Wang Yao's flashpoint has been designed in the script...... In this case, there is no need for particularly clever acting skills at all, as long as Zhou Mengxue's performance is qualified and does not lag behind, she can leave a deep impression on the audience.

Moreover, he also believes in Zhou Mengxue's acting skills, if he plays the role of Wang Yao, it is not just as simple as "qualified performance".

Zhou Mengxue acted in a drama with strong explosiveness.

This point, he has seen many times when he was filming in the crew of "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" before, especially when the filming is in the late stage and Zhou Yuan is transformed into the ultimate boss, the effect shown by Zhou Mengxue is really explosive.

This effect, transplanted to Wang Yao, has a very high fit.

This is also one of the main reasons why Li Chuan feels that Zhou Mengxue is suitable for playing Wang Yao...... He has seen Zhou Mengxue's hysterical, but uncontrollable explosive acting skills, and he really thinks that this method is very suitable for Wang Yao.

Of course, he saw it from the perspective of an ordinary viewer.

From the perspective of ordinary audiences, he thinks that Zhou Mengxue's acting skills are very good and suitable for playing Wang Yao, but if he is replaced by some professional actors or performance experts, his thoughts may be different.

However, it doesn't matter.

"The Hidden Corner" was filmed for the audience, not for professional actors and performance experts.

It doesn't really matter what professional actors and acting experts think or think.

Li Chuan's thinking logic is to take care of most of the audience, and there is no need to deal with the rest.

"I remember that there was a character in the original book, who was Zhu Chaoyang's stepmother, who seemed to be called Wang Yao, what do you think of this role?" Li Chuan asked again.

"That's good."

Zhou Mengxue replied: "After I finished reading the script, what I wanted to play most was Wang Yao, this role has a lot of room to play, and it is also very suitable for me......"

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded, and asked again: ""The Hidden Corner" was made by iQiyi, right?" ”

"It's not."

"Isn't it?"

"It's iQIYI's account-sharing drama, but it's not made by iQIYI."

"Who did that?"

"Ten Thousand Years of Film and Television."

"Ten Thousand Years of Film and Television?"

Li Chuan frowned slightly: "Which one is Wannian Film and Television?" ”

"A film and television company specializing in online dramas."

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Chuan thought for a moment, and then asked, "Looking for iQiyi, does it have any effect?" ”

"It should ...... Yes. ”

Zhou Mengxue looked at Li Chuan and said with a stunned face: "Do you know the people on iQiyi?" ”

"I don't know."

"Uh, then you're ......"

"Just because I don't know now doesn't mean I won't know you in the future."

"Oh."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "I'll help you get it, if you can't do it, I'll ...... Pay you to make a movie. ”

"Huh?"

"Ah what, don't you believe it?"

"Not ......"

Zhou Mengxue waved her hand again and again: "I believe it, I believe it." ”

After speaking, she looked at Li Chuan silently: "Thank you." ”

"Thank you, a little thing, you...... Well? ”

Li Chuan was halfway through his words, but Zhou Mengxue suddenly got up and gagged.

At first, he was a little stunned, but after only a few moments, he reacted

After reacting, he reached out and hugged Zhou Mengxue's waist, turned over and pressed it......
