Chapter 145: Changing Roles

Zhang Dabeard watched the material taken today as usual at night, and looked at Shao Bin's performance on the screen, and the old man's frowning brows never let go.

This Ling Hu Chong is far from the Ling Hu Chong in his mind. At the beginning, the bearded man was still lucky, and hoped that Shao Bin could constantly adjust through his own efforts and get as close to the character of Ling Hu Chong as possible. But now it's been more than a week since filming started, and there is still no progress.

And as long as Shao Bin is mentioned, the two directors are full of complaints, not to mention being late and leaving early, not to mention that they are not good at practicing martial arts, and the action scenes are not good at all. I don't like to read the script yet, it's okay to read the script before, but when it comes to filming, changing words at will happens from time to time, not only is the actor passive, but even the good-tempered Lao Huang has been forced to be anxious several times.

The bearded man thought that Xu Qing had left for two days before, including Li Tang who had not come back yet, all because of Shao Bin.

If he had a faint idea in his heart before that it was appropriate for Shao Bin to play Linghu Chong, then now it has become whether to replace Shao Bin or not.

As a result, Zhang Dabeard suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Now Shao Bin's role has been filmed for almost two episodes, and one-third of the salary has been paid before the start of filming, if you really want to change the role, not only will all the previous work be nullified, but the crew will also face losses of up to millions of yuan. What's even worse is that Shao Bin was originally hand-picked by him, that is to say, for the losses caused by the change of roles, he, the chief producer, will be the first person responsible.

In addition, it is easy to make substitutions, but there is also a risk that you may not be able to find a suitable replacement for the time being, or the substitute may not be good.

In the past two days, the old man has a lot of white hair.

If you don't decide to ask Xinman.

If Zhang Jizhong and Fan Xinman were together at the beginning, then over the years, the relationship between the two has long become mutual help.

Fan Xinman is very smart, calm, decisive, and good at analyzing and summarizing, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the position of producer and chief director of the CCTV news channel comment column.

Lao Zhang hesitated to dial Xinman's mobile phone, which rang for a long time, and just when he was about to get impatient, the phone was finally connected, and the other end of the phone was obviously very noisy.

"Where are you?" Lao Zhang said unhappily.

"I just finished the show, and I had dinner out with my colleagues from the column, what's wrong?"

The new man on the other end of the phone also spoke in a bad tone.

The difference between the two is fifteen years old, and Lao Zhang gradually becomes powerless as he grows older, but Xinman loves to play......

How to say it, as long as he doesn't make a mistake of principle, or as long as he doesn't see it with his own eyes, Lao Zhang will turn a blind eye to some rumors, after all, he still needs this virtuous help, and after so many years together, even if Xinman is no longer young, even if his left hand touches his right hand, but after all, he is still a relative.

"I have something to tell you."

may have heard Lao Zhang's serious tone, and the new man on the other end of the phone said, "You wait a minute......

After a while, the noisy background disappeared, and Xinman's voice came clearly: "Hey, you say!" ”

Lao Zhang told Xinman about the matter here and his own thoughts.

"Lao Zhang, this matter is not a trivial matter, you have thought about it." Xinman said solemnly after listening.

"It's because it's not a trivial matter that I want you to help me get an idea, if it continues like this, if it doesn't work, the loss will be even greater, and I can't afford this responsibility."

Only in front of Xinman will Lao Zhang show his weak side.

Anyway, Xinman has seen it when he is the weakest.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Xinman said: "Lao Zhang, I suggest that you observe for two more days, anyway, things are already like this, and it will not be bad for two or three days." If it really doesn't work, then just break it, don't hesitate. Now after all, the loss is not big, and there is still room for salvation, otherwise ......"

Xinman didn't say anything further, of course Lao Zhang knew very well that otherwise the subtext behind it might become a Waterloo in his career.

In addition, Xinman also instructed him to start looking for a replacement in advance, so as not to be unprepared when he got it.

Maybe it was the conflict with Lao Zhang the day before that made Shao Bin feel scared, but it was rare that he was not late the next day, and his attitude towards filming was serious. Although the content filmed is still not very satisfying, it has rekindled hope for Lao Zhang.

If Shao Bin's attitude has always been so correct, if he can work hard, maybe there will be no need to change people, and the scene can be filmed smoothly.

However, the straw that breaks the camel's back often comes so suddenly.

March and April is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, fortunately God helps, the third day at noon is rare the sun is in the sky, and this season rape flowers are blooming. Lao Huang temporarily decided to change the location because there was a scene in the script where Ling Hu Chong was in a field of rape flowers.

Knowing that Lao Huang was going to change the location, Shao Bin was not very happy at the time, but fortunately he reluctantly agreed. But when he arrived at the scene, because it rained last night, the field was still a little muddy, and Shao Bin, who loved cleanliness, was reluctant to lie directly in the field, so in a hurry, his assistant took a reflector from the light and put it underneath.

The reflector is very brittle, and Shao Bin is tall and big, so he broke as soon as he lay down, but his state was not good, and he was not satisfied with this scene after filming several Lao Huang. But every time I lay down, the crew's reflector broke off a piece, and in the end the reflector was not enough.

Lao Huang, who has always been good-tempered, completely broke out this time, accusing Shao Bin of not reading the script, not doing his homework, not filming well, and not being willing to endure hardships. Shao Bin ridiculed him and said that Lao Huang temporarily changed the shooting plan, he was not prepared, and he was afraid of being dirty, but he didn't want to lie in the field directly, what's wrong?

So they broke up unhappily, and this location scene was not filmed in the end.

Although Shao Bin's performance yesterday rekindled Zhang Dabeard's hope, he took precautions, and Zhang Dabeard was indeed thinking about a replacement candidate in the past two days.

In fact, at the beginning of the preparation, he was most optimistic about not Shao Bin but Hu Jun, and he admired this kind of tough guy image actor, because he was also this type when he was an actor before. But Hu Jun is a left-hander, if he is allowed to play Ling Hu Chong, not only does it not match the Ling Hu Chong described in the book, but more importantly, the martial arts actions designed by Yuan Bing before must be overturned and restarted, which is obviously impossible, and then he found Shao Bin.

As for the other candidate, the current popular student Li Yapeng, he belongs to Mao Sui's self-recommendation. But he was not the ideal candidate for Linghu Chong in the bearded man's mind, and he originally wanted him to try Lin Pingzhi's. But his agent Li Yawei refused, joking, people are popular, how can they deign to play a male number two, let alone a villain.

Now that there is no other suitable candidate, Li Yapeng can give it a try.

Of course, changing roles is very important, and at the same time, from Shao Bin's matter, the bearded man has also learned to be obedient, no longer stubborn and self-serving, and what kind of hand-picking is done, so as not to find out that the clown turned out to be himself.

He planned to come back and let people come to the crew to audition in case he really came to the step of changing roles, and he decided with the two directors. Collective leadership and collective decision-making, this is my D's consistent style, but I was too flamboyant and didn't think about it before.

By the way, there is also the matter of changing roles, if it really comes to this point, he will also pull the two directors to decide together, although the person is hand-picked by him, but the decision to change the role must be made collectively, only in this way can he appropriately reduce his responsibility.

Just when Lao Zhang was thoughtful in all aspects and was in a rare relaxed mood, Lao Huang ran over angrily to complain.

After listening to Lao Huang's hoarse accusations, Zhang Dabeard did not have the same anger as before, but was very calm, and the other boot finally landed.

In this case, there is no need to take any chances, and it is imperative to change corners.

Then Huang Jianzhong was very dissatisfied when he saw the bearded man's breezy appearance, and asked, "What do you mean, Lao Zhang?" I think it's necessary for you to talk to Shao Bin again and ask him to correct his attitude, otherwise this scene will not be filmed. ”

Zhang Dabeard smiled slightly, pulled Lao Huang, who was full of excitement, to sit down, and then instructed his assistant to invite the action director Yuan Bing.

Huang Jianzhong is also an old man, and there must be a reason why the beard is so abnormal, so he simply sat down with peace of mind to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the beard.

After a while, the Yuan soldiers arrived.

"Teacher Zhang, are you looking for me?"

Yuan Bing entered the door and saw that Lao Huang was also there, and wondered if Shao Bin had made some trouble again.

Sure enough, after Zhang Dabeard invited him to sit down, he asked him with a serious face: "Director Yuan, what do you think of Shao Bin's performance during this time?" ”

"Uh......"

Yuan Bing was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, do you still need to ask, isn't this a louse on a bald head! And he was the first person to quarrel with Shao Bin on the set, and it was you who came over to mediate with a big beard at that time. Now when filming action scenes, he doesn't think about Shao Bin's fight at all, anyway, there is a stand-in, and only close-ups and frontal close-ups make Shao Bin show his face.

Although Yuan Bing didn't speak, the look on his face already said everything.

Zhang Dabeard nodded, and said to Huang Jianzhong: "Director Huang, what do you think?" ”

Lao Huang was already holding back his anger, and immediately said: "I still need to think about it, anyway, I can't cooperate with this person now." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Dabeard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped the table and said, "Okay, let's make a decision today to replace Shao Bin." ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Jianzhong and Yuan Bing couldn't help but widen their eyes. To be honest, they had had enough of Shao Bin a long time ago, but they didn't expect Zhang Dabeard to be so decisive in this matter.

Then I heard Zhang Dabeard say with a righteous face: "It's easy for us to make this decision, but the work after making the decision is not simple." Maybe the person we are looking for is not as good as Shao Bin, but what we want is a creative attitude! This is a painful decision to cut the flesh, and now the crew has reached the most dangerous time, no matter how much risk is taken, we have to change people, we can't pump our own mouths in the future! ”

The second watch, roll and ask for votes!
