A few days later, the casting of the two major places began, and Sun Zhengxin and they had to interview at least 50 people a day.

Such an intensive interview not only tests the actors, but they also have to leave the deepest impression on the director in a limited time.

It also tests the director to find the one that best fits the soul of the character among so many people.

This process lasted seven days.

Seven days later, all the materials of the interviewed actors have been sorted out, and there are also the director's comments on each actor.

Gu Che popped up again, and followed the comments to constantly judge which role the actor was suitable for.

When arranging important roles, Gu Che also had to watch the interview video they filmed at that time.

After watching it, if you are still a little hesitant in your heart, you may have to ask the actor to come over for a second interview.

They decided to make this TV series as a boutique, so what they took out was the spirit of making a boutique.

People in the industry are relieved to see Gu Che's attitude so rigorous, but on the other hand, they feel that they are not very face-saving.

Especially some large companies in the industry, the quality of the actors they launch is relatively good, and they feel that they should give some special treatment to the actors of their company.

But after communicating with Gu Che's agent Ye Ming several times, it didn't work out.

So those people were secretly arranging Gu Che.

There are many more bureaus formed because of the discussion of Gu Che than in the past.

"Gu Che is really not afraid of offending big companies? I heard that several large actor companies in the industry went to say hello to Gu Che, but all of them came back in vain. Gu Che let it out to the outside world, saying that everything was fair competition. ”

There is a human: "How to say it, in fact, Gu Che's attitude, I think he wants to do a good job in this drama, so he doesn't make way for any company." He would rather offend large companies than touch the hidden unspoken rules of the industry, and also pick out the candidates in his mind. ”

"Yes, for large companies, Gu Che's approach is not to give them face, but for small companies, Gu Che is an opportunity they can seize!"

"And have you heard, Sun Zhengxin also released a notice at the actors' union, and recently he has been interviewing people from the actors' union one after another."

The Actors' Guild is a very fragmented organization, but it is also the organization where actors gather the most.

The actors of every company must have been registered with the actors' union.

However, actors registered in the Actors Guild do not necessarily join the company.

As long as you pass the assessment, you can move in, regardless of whether you are part-time or full-time.

It's just that most crews will prefer to recruit full-time actors, thinking that their full-time will be more professional, even if they don't have a company.

As long as they put in the same amount of labor, they will not be treated worse than actors with companies.

There are many first-line actors in Xia Guo, all of whom are from beginning to end, from beginning to end, from beginning to end, the actors' union faction, not the company faction.

It's only after being popular for a long time that I joined a company to move in, but the contracts signed are extremely lenient and can run at any time.

However, in Gu Che's place, full-time and part-time are treated equally, as long as the part-time actors selected can ensure that they can stay in the crew for the next period of time, they are OK.

Because of the special nature of the actors' union, the flow of actors is huge, but it is too scattered.

Therefore, as soon as the announcement of Gu Che and others was issued, it was not quickly publicized by everyone.

At the actors' union, the actors who wanted to come over for auditions came one after another, which led to Gu Che and their people coming for interviews every day.

Selecting actors for roles, they originally set a week's time, but then it became half a month, and then it was postponed to a month.

Gu Che also personally participated in the casting, only to find that the casting process is very important and troublesome.

He's been in the last few days.

The actor he likes wants to finalize the time with him, not that the next itinerary is full and he can't come over.

I just want to fight for another role, and I'm not satisfied with the finalized role.

After many aspects of running-in, Gu Che suddenly found that many of the selected actors were very different from the original cast of actors.

But it's all within the image he delineated, but it's not the people who like it at first glance.

Gu Che sighed: "Sure enough, casting is like life, it is difficult to be perfect. ”

After the role interview from the actors' union again, Luo Mingli was already tired and collapsed on the sofa.

He suddenly didn't understand, a carp rolled around, jumped in front of Gu Che and asked, "Wait, why did I come over to watch the actor role with you?" ”

Gu Che said firmly: "Aren't you an important character in this drama?" ”

Yes, Gu Che, as always, finalized Luo Mingli as the actor of Fahai.

Because in his mind, Luo Mingli's image is Fahai's image!

He replaced the White Lady, Green Snake, and Xu Xian, but Fahai refused to change, thinking that once he changed, he would lose the unique soul of this show.

Luo Mingli lay down again, and asked the ultimate question in his life: "I am already doubting, whether it is right or wrong for me to promise you to take over this drama." ”

Gu Che glanced at Sun Zhengxin, who was still working in Fu Yu after the interview, and whispered: "What are you, our director is the most tired." ”

Luo Mingli shouted Sun Zhengxin a few times, but there was no response.

He felt that something was wrong, and so did Gu Che, so he hurriedly ran to see Sun Zhengxin.

Boy!

This guy is asleep while sitting!

He still thinks that Sun Zhengxin is working tirelessly!

Suddenly, Gu Che received a phone call, and a long-ago memory was awakened.

It was Director Gu Mingxin's call.

After filming "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" last year, he still stayed in Zhongzhou and visited entertainment companies in Zhongzhou everywhere.

At that time, Ye Ming gave him several film and television drama OST jobs in Zhongzhou.

He wrote two songs, one of which was given to the crew of "Big Fish and Begonia", and the song was called "Big Fish".

Presumably, the audience can still remember the wave of fear of being dominated by the song "Big Fish" last year.

The other two songs both have a strong Xia Guo style color, and they were coincidentally given by the same martial arts-themed TV drama crew.

Gu Mingxin is the lucky crew who got Gu Che's two songs.

Gu Che was very curious, calling him this time, is "Havoc in the Rivers and Lakes" about to be released?

Originally, "Havoc in the Rivers and Lakes" was said to be released last year, but then I don't know what happened, the crew seemed to be determined to make a big one, and actually started the remake!

Gu Che was also quite surprised when he got feedback from Ye Ming.

Resetting is actually a bit thankless for a TV series.

The same actor shoots a scene that has already been filmed, and the difference is actually a change in the scene or something.

From an ordinary scene to an exquisite scene, but the cost is several times the original price.

Because the ordinary scene was filmed, but the director chose to reset, wouldn't the previous shooting be invalid.

This is still because the crew of "Havoc" is not generous enough, and they plan to use AI to synthesize the corresponding background, so when they decided to reset, they saved an AI synthesis fee.

This money was used by them for on-site shooting.

Gu Che picked up the phone.

Director Gu Mingxin greeted him for a while, and asked with some apprehension: "I wonder if Mr. Gu Che has time to help "Havoc in the Rivers and Lakes" do a wave of publicity?" ”

Gu Mingxin was afraid that Gu Che would misunderstand, so he hurriedly added: "It's not for you to promote the TV series, but for you to promote the two pieces of music you gave to the crew." ”

Gu Che didn't answer and asked: ""Havoc in the Rivers and Lakes" is about to be released? ”

Gu Mingxin: "Yes, it's scheduled for half a month, and it's still uncertain which platform it will be released on." ”

Gu Che was thoughtful, and suddenly said, "I don't know if I can watch the content of the feature film?" ”

Gu Mingxin hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" ”

Gu Che smiled: "Director Gu, you are also surnamed Gu, maybe we were still one family thousands of years ago, and after the release of "Havoc in the Rivers and Lakes", I will do the promotion of OST songs related to film and television dramas." ”

His words changed, "But how to promote it, whether to bring this drama to promote it or not, I have to watch the feature film of the show before I can reply to you." ”

Gu Mingxin was willing to show Gu Che the feature film, and he was not worried that the film would be leaked.

With Gu Che's current status, there is no need for him to do this kind of thing, and once it is leaked, he can also file a lawsuit with Gu Che to make up for the loss of the film and television drama being leaked in advance.

I believe that no one is willing to give away hundreds of millions for nothing, even if Gu Che looks at it at present, there is no shortage of hundreds of millions of money.

What Gu Mingxin values more is Gu Che's evaluation of this drama!

What he hesitated about was whether Gu Che would think that this drama was not filmed well, it was so bad that even the OST song promotion would be gone at that time.

Although he boldly launched the remake, the actors were very supportive of him, and in the process of remaking and shooting, he was inspired to show better acting skills than the clips that had already been filmed.

But.

Gu Che is a movie screenwriter with a box office of 1.8 billion!

As we all know, film shooting is more elaborate than TV series.

So Gu Che's requirements will definitely be higher, and when Gu Mingxin decided to send Gu Che a feature film to watch, he was apprehensive in his heart.

Fortunately, Gu Che promised him in advance that he would do the OST opening and ending song promotion of "Havoc", which made Gu Mingxin relax.

After communicating with Gu Mingxin, Gu Che hung up the phone, cheered up and decided to watch the TV series.

Adjust and adjust, this week has been constantly interviewing and selecting people's numbness.

He didn't think the mobile phone screen was enjoyable, so he simply borrowed the company's equipment and turned on the big screen.

He closed all the curtains in advance to prevent the positive film from leaking out.

Luo Mingli was about to leave, but when he saw Gu Che's operation, he stayed and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" ”

Gu Che said: "Watching a TV series, I wrote two theme songs for that TV series last year, and now it is about to be released, the director came to ask me if I could help promote it, and I plan to reply to them after watching it." ”

Luo Mingli suddenly, the foot that he stepped out of was retracted, and he sat upright.

"Then I will also see, don't worry, I won't leak it out."

Gu Che glanced at him.

Luo Mingli looked like an uncle, "You put it!" ”

Gu Che: ......

He looked at Sun Zhengxin, who was sleeping soundly, and stood up helplessly and did the work of a wage earner.

Suddenly, a majestic and loud singing voice came—

Canghai laughed

The tide on both sides of the strait

Ups and downs follow the waves

The sky laughs

The tide of the world

God knows who loses and who wins! ”

Sun Zhengxin, who was still asleep, was so shocked that he instantly ejected from the table, and shouted with extremely neat and fast movements:

"Earthquake?! Hurry up and get out, there's an earthquake! ”

Gu Che and Luo Mingli both looked at him speechlessly.

And on the big screen, the music "A Laugh in the Sea" is still playing!

Jiang Shan smiled

Smoke and rain are far away

How much do you know about the waves and the red dust

Qingfeng laughs

It's lonely

Pride is left

A placket evening photo! ”

Sun Zhengxin listened to the song and blinked his eyes, feeling that he had completely woken up.

"This song ......"

Gu Che looked over, curious about what evaluation this guy was going to make.

Sun Zhengxin: "Absolutely! ”

"Amazing!"

"Wonderful!"

"How can you sing like this, its rhythm is a little weird, but the arrangement and combination are very good!"

Sun Zhengxin sighed again: "It's amazing! ”

Luo Mingli also thought the song was weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.

And obviously the melody sounds very weird, but once the song is sung, it will make people feel very harmonious.

Luo Mingli frowned and pondered: "This rhythm sounds a little familiar......

Gu Che announced his answer: "Because this song is arranged upside down according to the traditional rhythm of the Xia Kingdom, the palace merchant corner emblem feather, and it is composed for the rhythm of the feather emblem corner merchant palace." ”

Luo Mingli clapped his hands: "Yes, that's right!" I'll just say it's familiar and weird! ”

As a Cantonese opera performer, I have the most exposure to classical music.

Others may not know the so-called Chinese style very well, although Luo Mingli can't create, but he really listens to a lot of Chinese style songs.

Including the name of the word brand and the name of the song brand that is inseparable from the origin of many opera stages, it is accurate classical music, and the wealth handed down by the ancestors has a history of thousands of years.

Cangsheng smiled

No more loneliness

Pride is still smiling and laughing!

Lala, lalala......"

After listening to the whole song, Sun Zhengxin couldn't wait to rewind and continue to listen to it again.

More importantly, he wanted to know who wrote the song.

He wants to invite the creator of this song to also write a song for "The Legend of the New White Lady"!

His TV drama crew is also very much in line with this atmospheric music.

Just as his thoughts came out, Gu Che gave him a PASS without hesitation.

"No, "The Legend of the New White Lady" can't use this kind of song, this song is too bold and can only be suitable for martial arts TV series, but the White Lady is obviously not a pure martial arts drama, nor is it a pure Xianxia drama. The main line of the White Lady is to talk about love, a story triggered by greedy lovers. ”

Gu Che affirmed: "So the theme song of the White Lady can only be used as a love song." ”

Sun Zhengxin had a different opinion, but he didn't have time to explain.

When he rewinded back and saw the subtitles that appeared at the beginning of the song, he suddenly fell silent.

"A Laugh in the Sea"

Lyrics and composer: Gu Che.

Luo Mingli shrugged his shoulders, patted him on the shoulder, and continued to play the song.

Canghai laughed

The tide on both sides of the strait

Ups and downs with the waves......"

How imposing this song is, how sad Sun Zhengxin's heart is.
