The photographer Gu Bei wanted to invite was his old classmate Gu Changwei, although the two were not the same major, they had a good relationship during school.

Last time, Gu Changwei also participated, but he was not in the capital at this time, but returned to Xi'an.

After graduating that year, he was assigned to Xi'an Film Studio, where he worked as a camera assistant at first, but his current status is not the same.

A "Red Sorghum" not only made the heroine Gong Huang popular and made Zhang Guoshi famous, but Gu Changwei also won the first trophy in his life through this work.

At this year's 8th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Gu Changwei won the best cinematography.

The reason why Gu Bei wanted to find Gu Changwei was also very simple, he liked the other party's lens very much.

I thought that it would take a lot of rhetoric to make a phone call, but as soon as Gu Bei brought it up, Gu Changwei agreed.

"I'm finally able to repay the favor."

Gift?

After hanging up the phone, Gu Bei searched for a long time in his memory before he realized what Gu Changwei said.

When he was at school, this guy lost a month's worth of tickets, and it was Gu Bei who helped him.

Thinking of this, Gu Bei was also laughing.

He knew that Gu Changwei's so-called return of favor was just an excuse, in fact, he just wanted to take care of him, the little brother in everyone's eyes.

Sure enough, within two days, Gu Bei received calls from many classmates, all of whom were old classmates who didn't go to the party last time.

After the politeness, they all asked if there was anything they could do to help.

Gu Bei couldn't help but sigh at the friendship of classmates at this time.

Thinking about the previous life, the so-called classmate friendship is simply bullshit, and there are too many unappetizing things mixed in it.

Gu Bei and Ruan Ruolin reported and learned that the Golden Rooster Award for Best Cinematography was going to come to the crew of "Do You Know", Mrs. Ruan's initial reaction was, Gu Bei, this kid doesn't have a fever, right?

Waiting for Gu Bei to explain the reason, Ruan Ruolin understood what was going on.

Even if a contact letter was sent to Xi'an Film Studio in the name of CCTV, as long as Gu Changwei didn't have a task now, he wouldn't deliberately block it.

After all, it is barely a system, who can guarantee that they will not ask for each other in the future.

The team is basically completed.

Next up is casting.

In the drama "Do You Know", the main characters are the big family in Sheng Mansion, Mrs. Sheng, Sheng Hong and his wife, plus a Lin Xiaoniang, and six children.

In addition to this, the main characters are the Gu family, the Qi family, and the royal family.

There are quite a lot of characters, and the workload of casting is naturally very large.

For the role of Gu Tingye, Gu Bei has already set Zhou Lijing, and the other is Sheng Hualan of Shen Danping, Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu are all small roles, and there are few scenes, so I won't mention it.

The first thing Gu Bei has to decide on now is the other three orchids in the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Minglan is the heroine of the story, and she hasn't thought of it for the time being.

is the role of Sheng Molan, Gu Bei thought of a very suitable actor.

Sheng Molan is the fourth lady of Sheng Mansion, although she is a concubine, she is outstanding in appearance and style, and is deeply favored by her father Sheng Hong.

I learned a lot of communication methods with my biological mother Lin Xiaoniang, I think very highly of myself, I have sharp teeth, and before I got married, I gave Sheng Minglan a lot of stumbling blocks.

At first, he admired Qi Heng, the little grandfather of the Qi State Mansion, but Qi Heng only had Sheng Minglan in his heart.

In the end, under the design of her and her mother, Liang Han, a merry son who married Yongchang Bofu, became his wife, but because of the East Window incident, he lost Sheng Hong's support.

After marriage, he was keen on intrigue and jealousy with his concubines, but he was scorned by his in-laws and his status was shaky.

Overall, it is a white lotus, obviously holding a good hand, but playing his life into a tragedy.

Although he is a supporting role, his role in the play is very heavy, unlike the four springs in "Dream of Red Mansions", except for the third lady Tanchun, the image of other springs is portrayed very thinly in the TV series.

The actor selected by Gu Bei is Li Lingyu, who has worked with him in "Journey to the West" before.

Speaking of which, it was quite unexpected that Li Lingyu was selected by Director Yang Jie, because she was discovered by Director Yang on the cover of a popular film magazine.

Earlier, the crew also set an actor, but because "Journey to the West" was suspended, when the filming resumed, the actor's schedule could not be adjusted, so he had to choose another person.

At that time, I was about to go to Yunnan to shoot "Tianzhu Harvesting Jade Rabbit", but the actor who played the Jade Rabbit Essence had not yet been found, according to Director Yang Jie's requirements, I wanted to find a beautiful girl with some exotic taste, and this character was also looking for a long time, but I was never satisfied.

One day, director Yang Jie accidentally found a photo in the magazine "Popular Film", it was Li Lingyu, from the photo it can be clearly seen that her facial features have a little foreign flavor, very beautiful.

It's just a pity that the magazine doesn't provide any useful clues.

Who is she? Which unit?

Mrs. Yang handed over this task to Gu Bei, and asked to find it and borrow it.

Gu Bei had some impressions of Li Lingyu, knowing that she was a singer, but it was not clear where she was, so he could only mobilize everyone he knew to help.

In the end, it was Shen Danping who found the person, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and the person was in Shanghai.

When Gu Bei told Director Yang Jie the news, the old lady was so happy, the actors of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe must be able to sing and dance.

In the story, in order to tempt Tang Seng, the Jade Rabbit Spirit happened to have a singing and dancing performance.

When Li Lingyu arrived at the crew and chatted, Director Yang Jie learned that Li Lingyu was originally an actor in the Hongqi Yue Opera Troupe.

Director Yang Jie had previously broadcast a play by the Hongqi Yue Opera Troupe, in which Li Lingyu played a child.

Li Lingyu herself is a cheerful and lively girl, and she also has some boyish personalities, giving people a very aura and a very open performance.

In the play, her characters are actually three people, namely the real princess, the fake princess, and the Monkey King who appeared instantly.

Some actresses are afraid of scandalizing their image, but they are unwilling to let go of the performance, and Director Yang Jie is also afraid that Li Lingyu will not be able to perform the character of a monkey for the sake of beauty, so he greeted her in advance.

But when it came time to shoot, Li Lingyu had no scruples, and played to his heart's content during the performance, and his grimace was like a monkey.

In addition, Li Lingyu is also very brave, and the real princess in the play has a scene of jumping into the river to commit suicide, but she herself does not know how to swim.

Director Yang Jie wanted to arrange a stand-in, but Li Lingyu didn't agree, so she had to come by herself.

When filming that scene, as soon as Director Yang Jie shouted "start", Li Lingyu plunged down, but fortunately, someone was arranged to wait underwater in advance, and she was held up as soon as she entered the water.

However, this courage left a deep impression on Gu Bei.

It's just that......

It stands to reason that an actress like Li Lingyu, who is spiritual, open-minded, and extraordinarily daring to fight, should go further on the road of acting.

But Li Lingyu's later development, although he has made good achievements in music, but in terms of performance, since "Journey to the West", there have never been too good works.

The matter of contacting Li Lingyu, Gu Bei handed it over to Zhang Li to handle, he is a director anyway, and he can't do everything himself.

In addition, the actor who plays Qi Heng, Gu Bei also has a favorite object.

Sun Chenxi.

Later audiences may not have much impression of him, because in the late 80s and early 90s, after he became popular, he chose to retire from filming, and he did not return to filming until the new century.

can update the speed of the film and television industry, and come back after leaving for more than ten years, there are still a few audiences who know him!

Gu Bei also swiped a short video on the Internet in his last life, and then watched Sun Chenxi's "Qiao Luocheng", and then he had an impression of this actor.

In that movie, Sun Chenxi's ancient costume was too impressive.

The face is as white as jade, and the eyebrows are delicate.

In terms of ancient costumes alone, Gu Bei even felt that no one in China could surpass him.

It is very suitable for Sun Chenxi to play Qi Heng, the son of a family.

The rest of the characters ......

Gu Bei then pulled over and over among the actors of "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", but never found what he liked.

Or......

Also go to film and television school?

The Internet that Gu Bei had seen in his previous life was about China Entertainment, but whenever the protagonist was just starting out, he had to go to the film and television school to Taobao.

The reason is also very simple, the future bigwigs who have not yet become popular are cheap!

The protagonist can also enjoy the thrill of discovering Maxima as a Bole.

Gu Bei doesn't have that bad taste, he just simply wants to form a good fate in advance before those future big stars make a fortune.

went to the film and television school to pick actors, Jingying said that after all, it is Gu Bei's alma mater, and the teachers are familiar with it, and if he wants to pick people, the teachers will definitely cooperate.

But it's not easy to do Chinese opera, and people and CCTV are not the same system, so there is no need to sell anyone's face.

Gu Bei wanted to go over to dig for treasure, so he could only contact him through Taili.

It's just that when Gu Bei made this request to Ruan Ruolin, Mrs. Ruan made a difficulty.

"Do You Know" is the center's top priority in the coming year, and she is already under a lot of pressure when she is handed over to Gu Bei, a hairy boy, as the director.

Now Gu Bei has to go to the school to pick actors.

The director is an inexperienced newcomer, and the actor is the same......

Ruan Ruolin just thought about it, and felt that the pressure on his shoulders was about to be unbearable.

"Leader, at the beginning of the important scenes of this play, the male and female protagonists are both fifteen or sixteen years old, looking for a famous actor, you will definitely not be able to act that feeling, I have also considered it, if the actor is too young, the experience will definitely be insufficient, so I want to go to the film school to pick people."

Ruan Ruolin listened to Gu Bei's words, and suddenly felt very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Where have you heard of it?

Belch......

Wang Fulin!

Some people died, but not completely......
