When Zhang Rilong was preparing here, Liu Suifeng also arranged an assistant director who came over to help.

"Manager Li Suifeng asked me to come over and help, and I can leave the shooting to me."

Assistant director Wu Zhihe is a high-achieving student who graduated from a regular film university, Chinese New Year's Eve is 8 years old this year.

has been mixed for more than ten years since graduation, and he is still a third-rate director.

Zhang Rilong saw that Liu Suifeng sent someone over, so he said: "I will start school in a few days, and there are usually more things, you can do the shooting, as long as you act normally according to the script, don't get used to anyone, focus on quality, and shoot a few more times if it doesn't work." ”

It's the National Day holiday, otherwise Zhang Rilong wouldn't be so idle.

Wu Zhihe knew about this arrangement before he came again, and this time in addition to making money, he also had the idea of brushing up on his qualifications.

After reading the script, Wu Zhihe felt that this drama was just an ordinary TV series, and there was nothing brilliant about it.

"Do you need to find a professional script team to revise the script?"

Wu Zhihe put forward his own opinions, and he felt that this script was not good.

Zhang Rilong said affirmatively: "No, just follow this script, no actor is allowed to change my things, if anyone changes, they will pay liquidated damages according to the contract procedure!" ”

Whether it was the actors or the rest of the crew, they all signed contracts while taking the money.

Including confidentiality contracts and work contracts, you can't take money and leave for various reasons.

Changing lines without permission and not complying with the requirements of the director and the filming party is also a violation.

Generally, this kind of behavior is easy to say, and sometimes the actor does have the right to speak, and it is better to change it.

But when encountering a director with rights like Zhang Rilong, it is difficult to say.

Wu Zhihe thought for a while, and then said: "I think it's a little inappropriate to use a woman to play the leading role, there are not many weak male actors on the market who are scholarly, and many of the current popular students are like this, and it is easier to gather popularity." ”

Zhang Rilong said: "This involves the issue of publicity, and I also know that it is better to use well-known actors, but the salary of big-name actors is too high, and my current capital budget has been taken up by the leading actors." ”

The main scenes are still focused on Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, these two people must first have the right appearance and temperament.

This is the most critical place!

Zhang Rilongken spent more than one-fifth of his budget on Lin Yaru, just because of her face and temperament!

Fortunately, she is still the kind of woman who is obedient and has some acting skills, otherwise this money would really be to buy a vase.

On the premise of forgetting many of the later plots, the role played by this woman is Zhang Rilong's confidence in this drama.

Wu Zhihe quickly said: "It's okay to use an actress, I recommend someone." ”

"Do you have acting skills?" Zhang Rilong said directly: "This woman who plays Xu Xian must have acting skills, this is not a vase role, no newcomer." ”

Wu Zhihe said: "It's okay, I've starred in one or two movies and made commercials, but I'm not famous." ”

"Fame is not important, what matters is temperament and ability." Zhang Rilong's requirements for Xu Xian's personal ability surpassed Bai Suzhen's.

Bai Suzhen's first requirement is not acting skills, but to make people feel that this woman is suitable for playing Bai Suzhen at a glance, standing there has a feeling of pleasing big beauty, and at the same time there is a sense of tolerance like a big sister.

Xu Xian is different, he has to perform that weak, long-winded and stupid nerd.

Wu Zhihe saw that Zhang Rilong was not so easy to speak, so he said, "Why don't you call her over and try it?" ”

"I also have to pay for the bus if I try, when I don't understand? Send a photo first, without makeup. Zhang Rilong is very clear about the rules here, he doesn't eat for nothing.

Calling someone to come over for an audition is to pay for the carriage and horses, which is the rule.

Depending on how famous they are, the fares vary depending on how famous they are.

Some are a few thousand yuan, while others are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions.

For a star like Mu Yanni, who is a little beautiful and famous, everyone eats and eats, and everyone knows each other, even if the director calls her to come over for an audition, she has to give money.

In the entertainment industry, everyone talks about their own things like this, and they will not lose the face to ask for money because they are familiar with the relationship.

This kind of thing agent will also remind that everyone has a group of people to raise, and they can't afford to delay.

Wu Zhihe reluctantly took out his mobile phone and searched for it, and sent a few beautiful photos.

"Paz! The temperament is not right. Zhang Rilong directly denied it.

Wu Zhihe tried his best to say: "This person has acting skills, is also obedient, willing to work hard, and willing to improve." ”

"What does it matter if she's trying to make an effort or not?" Zhang Rilong frowned and looked at Wu Zhihe, "Is it related?" The track and field track is full of people who are trying to run forward, and you say that the last place is very hard, does it make the audience cry? We're not comparing! ”

To be qualified is to be qualified, and if you are not qualified, Zhang Rilong was willing to endure his anger and invited Lin Yaru in a low voice, just because this woman was the most suitable person he thought.

Because he doesn't want to change the relationship between several images in his memory, Zhang Rilong's choice is very, very small, especially on the issue of the male and female protagonists.

"You choose the venue first, and the costumes and props are also rented, and I'll look for them again."

Wu Zhihe said: "Then I'll study the script first." ”

"No, I've already booked the first few venues, you go to the scene first." Zhang Rilong said decisively: "There is also a heroine that I worked so hard to invite, no matter who you can't harass her, whether it's asking for an autograph or shaking hands at dinner." ”

Wu Zhihe didn't know what was going on here, and planned to go to Liu Suifeng to ask later.

Zhang Rilong soon went home to read, he bought a lot of professional books on film criticism, although he spent a lot of money, but now he needs relevant knowledge.

The knowledge in the books does not represent Zhang Rilong's knowledge reserves, the reason why Lin Yaru is so important this time is mainly because of the temperament and appearance of this woman.

Whether it is Director Jiang or Wu Zhihe and others, including the scriptwriters who may have obtained his script from other channels, these people all think that "The Legend of the White Snake" is rubbish.

But only Zhang Rilong himself believes why the White Snake Legend is popular, and it will definitely be popular!

There are many reasons why White Snake is popular, script, casting, music, and so on.

But only Zhang Rilong himself knows where the biggest highlight of the White Snake can attract the audience.

It's the heroine!

Everyone in the film can be changed, but this heroine can't be changed, which is why Zhang Rilong is tired and tired, and he has no face to cast.

It's not that Lin Yaru is important, it's this role that is important, and this role is the soul of the whole play!

Kingcraft!

Bai Suzhen is a royal person!!

In the words of the 2011 generation, it is a Yamato Nadeshiko-style woman.

Why is it described as Yamato Nadeshiko?

There is no such person as Yamato Nadeshiko in history, and Yamato Nadeshiko is not a person's name.

It refers to a woman with a quiet and reserved personality, gentle and considerate, mature and stable, and a noble and virtuous temperament, similar to a good mother and wife in China.

Yamato Nadeshiko women are often seen as "representatives of the ideal woman" or "typical of pure feminine beauty".

Because in reality, there is no corresponding good wife and good mother to describe, but the interesting thing is that people in Sang Guo think that Yamato Nadeshiko-style women only exist in Huaguo, and Sang Country is full of selfish and selfish women.

The same is true in this era, everyone thinks that this kind of good woman with a good wife and mother does not exist, and even if it exists, it is far away from everyone.

However, this is indeed a royal character, and it is a character that all men accept and like.

It can be said that from the very beginning, the whole drama has been serving this "character", not the plot.

As long as this character can be maintained in the future, then this drama and this character will be popular for many years.

Only Zhang Rilong realized this, and the rest of the directors and actors focused on the plot and opera duets and male costumes, ignoring the most important royal character.

will ignore this royal character, mainly because there is no shortage of good women with such gentle characters in the TV series.

In addition to TV series, many novels, comics, movies, and scripts of various genres will not lack this kind of gentle and loyal female character, but the audience's feedback is that it is not pleasing.

This kind of royal character design is like a royal comic.

Difficult! It's so hard to shape!

It's so easy to shape, but sometimes it's extraordinarily boring.

So much so that everyone thinks that a good woman who is dedicated to her heart is not as attractive as a bad woman.

Many, many years ago, the image of a flawless woman began to be very unpleasant, and some "bad woman" characters are easy to cause discussion and fans.

In this film and television era where there are complex and meticulous thoughts, or the pursuit of freedom, dare to love and hate female images, an inconspicuous gentle character was carried out from the corner by Zhang Rilong.

It's so inconspicuous that under the watchful eye, no one still realizes that this is a royal character!

A matriarchal character from the sky, and a gentle big sister who is upside down, buy one get one free.

For this era when men don't believe in women and are used to lying down and seeking illusions, this kind of persona cannot be refused.

Just like secretly hiding the drama duet at the beginning, Zhang Rilong did not explain the importance of the royal character to anyone, including Jiang Wanyuan, who could not understand the script.

Everyone thinks that this is a garbage script, which is in line with Zhang Rilong's own intentions, but it is difficult to find actors.

It is necessary to find Xu Xian, who is dressed as a man, and Xiaoqing, who will not steal the scene, to improve Bai Suzhen's image.

This character and the rest of the characters complement each other, one is prosperous, and the other is lost!

In short, it is to improve this character and strive to control this character to maintain a smooth landing from beginning to end.

Once someone wants to control the script and characters, or expand the script to add drama to this royal character, then this royal road will become, Wang Bang!
