In the second week after the start of filming of "Shooting the Condor", the preparation of "Bright Sword" has also come to the final stage, the internal casting is over, and the external casting is about to begin.

Yanjing, Fuchunlai Hotel.

It stands to reason that the casting of a low-cost TV series like "Bright Sword" should not be held in such a big hotel.

But Han Zhou did it anyway.

Because Han Zhou knows that as long as "Bright Sword" is filmed well, there will be no problems with the ratings.

So, it's okay to be a little louder.

And New World basically doesn't have the habit of launching a press conference, and the casting of dramas with casting is a little louder, which can be regarded as a preview in advance.

At the beginning of this drama, Zhou Xuyun was supposed to be the director, and then the company was more idle last year, and later the photographer Tsuneishi, who filmed "Dick Silk Man", came to be the photographer.

However, after Han Zhou communicated with Shen Xixiong, the director of Yang Ma, he decided to be the director himself.

Of course, Han Zhou only took care of the filming part, and after filming, he threw the stall to Zhou Xuyun.

At the casting scene, three middle-aged actors stood on the scene.

They are here, Han Zhou doesn't dare to sit, if they are photographed, they will be scolded.

Three actors, one of them is a veteran actor of the art troupe, and he is also a first-class actor certified by the state.

The second is the actor of Lu Bu in this world's version of "The Three Kingdoms".

The third is that Han Zhou feels that he is a bit similar to Chu Yunfei's actor in his previous life.

Han Zhou: "It stands to reason that the achievements of the three teachers should not be cast by me. ”

"But this time, "Bright Sword" is going to be named as the name of this year's Yang Ma's annual drama, and there are indicators on it, so I have wronged you."

The three of them all smiled: "Normal, Director Han starts." ”

Han Zhou: "Okay, then I invite Mr. Lu from the Art Troupe to come first." ”

Han Zhou, Zhou Xuyun and Li Hansheng were sitting.

At present, the three of them are the main creative team, and Li Hansheng is the male number one who was set by Han Zhou when he decided to shoot Liangjian.

However, he is also from the art troupe, so Mr. Lu auditioned, but Li Hansheng kept silent.

Avoid arousing suspicion.

Teacher Lu's aspect has the flavor of an iron-blooded soldier, but the character of Chu Yunfei is not only a good soldier, but also a person with a cultural background.

The humanities aspect is the point of consideration for him.

Mr. Lu has also seen the script to be played.

This snippet is actually quite simple.

In the end of the original "Bright Sword", Chu Yunfei retreated to the Taiwan Strait and took away a piece of soil from his hometown before leaving.

And in this world, there is also a matter of retreating to the Taiwan Strait, but in the end, our army directly landed across the sea and succeeded, and finally completed reunification.

So, this clip is reserved.

Teacher Lu squatted down, although he was not wearing a military coat, but as if he was wearing a military uniform at this time, his hands were not performing in kind, he glanced at the soil in his hands, looked up at the sky again, and finally was stunned.

"I don't know when I'll be able to come back."

Han Zhou turned his head to look at Li Hansheng.

Li Hansheng took out a hamster from his arms and touched the hamster's head.

Meaning: Don't look at me, look at what I'm doing, don't look at me.

Han Zhou turned his head to look at Zhou Xuyun.

Zhou Xuyun nodded silently.

is worthy of being an actor of the art troupe, and he is worthy of being a first-class actor, obviously wearing daily clothes, but when he squats together, he looks as straight as he is wearing a military coat.

Han Zhou wrote something on the paper, and then looked at the second place: "Teacher Mo, come here." ”

Mo Chuyu: "Director Han, before the performance, I want to ask a question. ”

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "You say." ”

Mo Chuyu: "Director Han, why did you invite me to audition?" I've never played a military role before. ”

Han Zhou: "No, you have acted, Lu Bu." ”

Mo Chuyu smiled: "This difference is still quite big, I'll try my best to act well." ”

In fact, Han Zhou is especially looking forward to Mo Chuyu's audition performance.

Although there is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this world, there is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the content of the Three Kingdoms is actually very similar to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the original text is not so good-looking.

Including Lu Bu, he was also written as a very powerful military general in the "Three Kingdoms Story", the first in the world.

But Han Zhou thought about it for a while, there was a reason for this.

Lu Bu was born in Wuyuan County, a border pass in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, the first emperor patrolled the border and died violently in the Jiuyuan.

Lu Bu, who was born in the border pass, is not a son of a family, and second, he is not a well-educated person, nor is he filial piety.

But it became Ding Yuan's main book.

Later, he became Dong Zhuo's confidant, and was even co-opted by Wang Yun to become a general and a marquis.

He is even the first person among the princes of the world to reach the top of the real core of power, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, who are about the same age as him, have not yet made a fortune, and he is already a general who has opened a mansion.

Such a border citizen, a person who is not even a son of a poor family, achieves such a high position, no less than in the founding era of the United States, a black man finally became the generalissimo.

This makes no sense, so the ancients were more inclined to Lu Bu's personal bravery to the limit of the times.

In fact, Lu Bu and Guan Yu were the only two military meritorious county marquis issued by the Han court in the early Three Kingdoms period, and the thousand-character text also described Lu Bu as a good shooter, so it makes sense that Lu Bu was described as a fierce general by the person who later wrote the legendary story.

It's a different world, and it's still described like this.

And Lu Bu, played by Mo Chuyu at the beginning, performed the characteristics of villain, insidious, cunning, strong force, greed for money and lust very well.

Therefore, he wants to play Chu Yunfei, and Han Zhou just wants to listen to one line.

Mo Chuyu turned his head, between his eyebrows and eyes, he was not angry and arrogant: "Soldiers, you must have backbone!! ”

When he speaks, there is a little disdain.

Han Zhou didn't ask for many changes in expression to be played, it was obvious that Mo Chuyu had pondered this short script by himself, and felt that in the face of this kind of deserter, Chu Yunfei must have disdain in his heart.

And after saying this, he began to be angry.

As soon as these words came out, in Han Zhou's heart, Chu Yunfei's actor already had an answer.

Han Zhou looked at the third place.

The third place is much less famous than these two.

However, Han Zhou has a good memory, and he happened to see a work in this world and found that he looked like the original Teacher Zhang in his previous life, so he also sent an invitation.

For him, Han Zhou only considers one thing, that is, the momentum and posture.

The scene is Chu Yunfei and Qian Bojun fighting each other.

There is no line part, just the part where you shoot with a gun.

He lifted the prop gun, gestured for a moment, and slung it over his shoulder.

Han Zhou took a look at it and was a little disappointed.

In fact, if this one is good, Han Zhou would rather choose him.

Because they look alike, this kind of coincidence is difficult.

It's a pity that he is far from the imposing style of the original.

The role of Chu Yunfei, although he was only a regiment commander at the beginning, and later only a division commander, his posture is more heroic than that of many generals in TV series.

Chu Yunfei is actually the second male protagonist parallel to Zhao Gang.

But there are a lot fewer scenes.

With so many fewer scenes, in order to form a situation of cherishing heroes and cherishing heroes with Li Yunlong, the actors themselves must be strong.

There is no scene to foreshadow, so you can only rely on the power of the actor's body and demeanor to fill the scene.

It's a pity.

Han Zhou got up: "Three teachers, I'm sorry to trouble you, you can rest, and Deputy Director Zhou will contact you later." ”

This kind of offending thing, of course, let Zhou Xuyun go.

If you decide to invite, you will call Han Zhou himself.

The little sister in charge of the venue was a little sister of the company, and the little sister saw that the three teachers were going out, so she came in: "Director, there is a big star who came to audition, but ...... We didn't invite him. ”

Han Zhou didn't even look at it, and continued to sort out the audition performance he wrote: "What a big star, if you are not invited, you won't try it." ”

Door: "Yo, Han Zhou, you have a good temper." ”

Hearing the voice, Han Zhou raised his head in astonishment.

Specially, Chen Feng.

Han Zhou was speechless: "Next time I say the name directly, I thought I didn't know someone." ”

The little sister was an intern and stuck out her tongue: "Okay, Director Han." ”

Chen Feng entered the house, and Li Hansheng: "Haha, Chen Tianwang, you also want to act in our play?" ”

Chen Feng: "I have a friend who also got the script for your audition, I see that you have a military band in the play, and I can play a saxophone." ”

Han Zhoule said: "Forget it, you really want to act, I have a role for you to audition." ”

Han Zhou rummaged through his briefcase and took out a script: "This." ”

Chen Feng looked confused after reading it: "That's it? ”

"It turns out that the actor auditioned for the play and took this kind of script? How does this work? ”

The last time Chen Feng starred in "Kung Fu" was the boss of the Crocodile Gang, and to be honest, he acted well.

After all, going back further, he still played eleven corpses of different shapes in "Shaobao".

Further on, the eldest brother in "Mr. Tree", starred in his basic colors.

Although he has acted in several plays, it is the first time Chen Feng has seen such a simple script.

There is only one sentence in the script, you run for a while, panting, but you still have to save your face and explain: "Contemptible, not good at running." ”

Chen Feng thought about it for a while, and didn't know how to act out of breath and hold his face, so he straightened his waist, looking like he couldn't straighten his waist and needed assistance, and sighed twice in the way of singing: "Contemptible...... No, good at running. ”

Han Zhou laughed: "Okay, this role is given to you." ”

Chen Feng was happy: "Okay, I'm just going to play with my friends, when you play my play, you just tell me." ”

Han Zhou knows that Chen Feng is actually very busy, at least seven or eight concerts a year, many program invitations, as well as practicing songs, writing songs, and releasing albums.

"Come on, you give me a copy of your schedule, I'll see which time is close, and then I'll arrange the scene to that point in time, and then I'll tell you."

Chen Feng: "Okay, then I'll slip away first." ”

Han Zhou: "Hey! Brother Feng, what's your friend's name? ”

Chen Feng: "Forget it, I won't tell you who it is, if you don't try to play for a while, you will choose him, it will be unfair to others, I will go first, there will be a commercial performance tonight." ”

"By the way, I will have a concert in Yanjing on the 14th of next month, come and play, it's best to sing two songs."

Han Zhou didn't know if he would be free at that time, but he must be free.

Because, there are seniors who have been beaten.

In his previous life, Xing Ye filmed "Kung Fu" and invited who else to make a cameo.

Later, someone's play was released, and Xing Ye was invited to the premiere, and Xing Ye replied with two words, 'not empty'.

Since then, the two directors who should have developed a good relationship have directly stopped contacting each other.

After Chen Feng left, Han Zhou asked Lin Lin, who was in charge of arranging audition actors outside, to come in and asked.

It turned out that Chen Feng came with a young actor.

The father of this young actor is the drummer of Chen Feng's former band, and Han Zhou has seen it.

Recently, he was lying in the hospital, said to have gout, and had surgery to remove the tophi.

Therefore, Chen Feng personally accompanied his nephew.

Han Zhou took a note and decided to give him a chance.

Although it is said that casting should be based on strength.

But sometimes, fate is really different and unfair.

If he was born in a company that was hostile to Han Zhou, even if he was 100% suitable for playing an important role, he would not have gotten a chance.

On the contrary, if you have a good relationship with Han Zhou, even if it is a little worse, Han Zhou can ask for it.

After all, Han Zhou is a director, so he can't teach, but if he doesn't deal with himself, it's not good.

Drama is only a matter of months, and life is long.

There is no perfect life, and there is no perfect play, Han Zhou can only do it, weigh the pros and cons, and make the play as perfect as possible.

……

The casting took nearly a week, and the circle is also paying attention to this matter.

Now the box office of "Kung Fu" is infinitely close to breaking the record of domestic films.

Han Zhou can be said to be in the limelight.

And last year, New World released two TV series with more than five ratings, shocking the entire industry.

Now that Han Zhou wants to shoot the main theme TV series, of course everyone has to watch it.

Everyone doesn't know if Han Zhou really wants to shoot a main theme wholeheartedly, or if he is just putting on a name to give Yang Ma a face.

And even if Han Zhou wants to shoot wholeheartedly, is the main theme so good to get ratings?

Are today's young audiences still interested in the main theme, especially the war dramas before the founding of the People's Republic of China?

You Han Zhou is amazing, you can do it when you come?

A lot of people don't believe it.

There are more people who pay attention, and the news of the casting of "Bright Sword" is also on the hot search.

Many fans of Han Zhou were surprised.

"The new martial arts are doing well, and the detective drama is also an explosion in ratings, why do you want to wade into the troubled waters of war dramas?"

"Isn't it, you Han Zhou are too much money and don't want to make it?"

"Is it bad to shoot "Less Bag 2"? I still want to see Xiao Zhanzhao! ”

Less pack 2? It is impossible to shoot less package 2, the script of the original version of less package 2 is not very good, and no matter how good the performance is, the ratings will not be high there.

In the last two years before the TV market slumped, Han Zhou would not shoot Shaobao 2.

Unless New World cultivates its own good screenwriter and writes a script that is far less than the original version, Han Zhou can start this project.

And this is probably not something that can be done in three years.

……

Han Zhou didn't have the heart to pay attention to things on the Internet.

Originally, the plan for "Bright Sword" was to prepare for two months and shoot three months.

But Han Zhou personally took action and maintained his consistent style, preparing for a month and filming for a month and a half.

The intensity is great.

Therefore, after the casting ended, the whole group went to a remote Zhuangzi in Xishan Province to start filming.

And Han Zhou played the role of Monk Wei.

……

"It's ugly!"

The monk played by Han Zhou turned around beautifully and knocked down an earthen wall with one foot.

Soldiers around: "Good!! ”

Zhao Gang: "What's good!! Destruction of fellow property. ”

"Go and patch up this wall for the fellows yourself."

Zhao Gang's scene was actually quite in place, because this was actually to save face for Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei came to visit and launched a martial arts competition, and the monk was obviously skilled.

Reprimanding the monk is to save face for Chu Yunfei.

The monk himself didn't think much about it, and happily became like an educated child.

Zhou Xuyun: "Click!! ”

Han Zhou turned around and looked at this paragraph for himself.

Han Zhou's martial arts movements are already very beautiful, he acted in kung fu and "The First in the World", Han Zhou learned a lot from Yuan Baoqing and Zheng Changhe.

Combined with the tricks in my memory, I have been practicing for almost a whole year.

I don't say I can fight, but it's really good to look good.

However, after watching this scene, Han Zhou was a little dissatisfied.

"This remake."

"Fix the wall."

Zhou Xuyun was stunned: "It's a beautiful shot, it's a beautiful game, it's wonderful, why reshoot?" ”

Zhao Gang's actor was a little embarrassed: "Director Han, is it that I didn't have an effect?" ”

Han Zhou shook his head: "No, it's my fault." ”

"The kick was so beautiful that this shot can't be used."

Can't "Bright Sword" shoot the fight scene beautifully?

Isn't that simple?

But "Bright Sword" actually deliberately did not shoot the fight scene beautifully.

Because it has to be distinguished from martial arts dramas and anti-Japanese dramas.

So deliberately didn't make any bells and whistles.

It's all about the plot, not the martial arts action.

If you take a closer look at "Bright Sword", you will find that when fighting, those scenes and spirits are definitely the best, and they couldn't be better.

But the play is really weak.

When Han Zhou watched it in his previous life, he also thought that the crew was poor and couldn't afford to hire a martial artist.

But later, after watching the remake of "Bright Sword", Han Zhou knew the answer.

Bright Sword is not a stage for you to play leading actors, and it is not for you to pretend.

Bright sword, the role doesn't matter at all.

For the sake of the realism of the war, the fighting scenes are deliberately weakened.

Even if there is a fight in reality, in fact, someone can fight more beautifully, but the original version still chooses to weaken the fight.

Everyone didn't know Han Zhou's considerations, but they only knew that Han Zhou said that he couldn't have such a beautiful shot, and they all felt that it was a pity.

Moreover, how complicated it is to repair this earthen wall, it will take a long time.

For the sake of this shot, it's really unnecessary, right?

"Director Han is really strange, some of the shots we thought might have been smashed, but Director Han passed."

"Some shots we think are good, but Director Han is very dissatisfied."

"Nonsense, he is a super director with a rating of seven or more, and he is a great figure who is about to top the box office list in the history of Chinese films, if it is the same as you and me, then why don't I go as a director to break the record?"

"Uh...... I think it may be Lao Han's brain......"

Yes, Han Zhou's fans of fun have already entered the interior.

When the props team was scratching their ears and cheeks and thinking about how to restore this earthen wall, Han Zhou went to the side to rest.

Picked up the phone and took a look.

Zhang Ceyong's phone?

Han Zhou directly dialed back.

Zhang Ceyong rang a few times before answering: "You keep calling, I'll answer the phone." ”

"Oh, Han Zhou's call, there's something."

"He doesn't have time to come over now, after a while."

Zhang Ceyong seemed to be playing ball.

The golfers were deeply impressed by Han Zhou and wanted to call Han Zhou to play together.

But as Zhang Ceyong said, how can Han Zhou have time now?

"Hey, Han Zhou."

"Haha, they're saying they're inviting you to play."

Han Zhou: "I still have some time to finish filming this drama, I don't know how long I will rest after filming, let's talk about it then." ”

Zhang Ceyong: "I'm not looking for you to play, it's another matter." ”

"Did Chen Feng also invite you to be a guest at his concert?"

Han Zhou nodded: "That's right." ”

Zhang Ceyong: "This time, Brother Feng still attaches great importance to holding a concert at the Phoenix National Stadium, and invited me and Lin Xiaoxing. ”

Han Zhou was a little surprised: "Yo, there is still such a thing?" So you're going to sing a song on stage too? ”

Zhang Ceyong smiled: "I think we can surprise him." ”

Han Zhou thought for a while: "If, I, you, Lin Xiaoxing, the three of us sing a song together, at his concert, don't take him to play, hehe." ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Ceyong: "It's got to be you!" ”

"Then I'll find a song."

Han Zhou: "I'll write a song, let's pull a group of three, practice, and then have a surprise attack." ”

Zhang Ce Yongle said: "Okay, then follow what you say." ”

……

Time passed, and on March 6, the box office of "Kung Fu" reached 1.8 billion, topping the domestic box office history list of domestic films.

All of a sudden, the press release went viral.

You know, this is not a press release provided by New World or Han Zhou.

Rather, the media themselves reprinted it with each other.

People are like this, when they are not famous, they spend money to become famous.

And after success, it is difficult to become more famous.

"Kung Fu topped the domestic box office list, Han Zhou became a god! 》

"The new martial arts are hugely powerful, and kung fu has reached the top of film history!" 》

"Kung Fu Sword Refers to 2 Billion, the First Domestic Movie to Break 2 Billion May Be Born"

"Han Zhou Era? After sweeping the small screen, Han Zhou continued to wreak havoc on the big screen! 》
