Chapter 17 Picking a Play
February 3rd.
The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.
As soon as Chen Nan returned to Shanghai, he was summoned by Cai Yinong.
"Senior sister."
"Mr. Cai asked me to go to the company."
Chen Nan called Yang Mingna to say something.
"Can you go back in the evening?"
Listening to Yang Mingna's voice, it was on the bus.
"I can go back." Of course I want to go back.
"Then I'll go over and clean up for you first, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night." Yang Mingna's voice was brisk: "Come back to eat in the evening, I'll stop by to buy vegetables later." ”
"Okay."
Chen Nan hung up the phone and rode a motorcycle to the company.
……
"The Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Lotus Lantern."
"That's a good name!"
Cai Yinong took the new book handed by Chen Nan, and as soon as he saw the title, he applauded: """Fish Beauty" is broadcast well in Taiwan Province, and if there is another "Legend of Heaven and Earth", the ratings will not be too bad." ”
That's one thing.
On the other hand.
Last year, the animated film "Baolian Lantern" had a box office of more than 5 million in five days after its release, and the final national total box office was 29 million, ranking third in the annual box office in the mainland, and won the Best Art Film Award at the 19th China Film Golden Rooster Awards.
It can be described as fame and fortune.
"It's a big hot spot!"
The more Cai Yinong thought about it, the more promising he felt.
Even if the level of the book written by Chen Nan is not good, Datang can also save a script in this direction.
With anticipation.
Cai Yinong first looked at the outline.
"The Legend of Heaven and Earth: Baolian Lantern", the play tells the story of Agarwood, with the help of a fairy stepping on the snow, looking for the "Baolian Lantern" and learning the truth of his fate.
On the plot.
On production.
This drama is far less classic than CCTV's "Baolian Lantern" and "Baolian Lantern Prequel" a few years later.
But at the moment, in 2000, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece.
In particular, the setting of 'time and space travel' is the finishing touch.
"Good story."
"It's very well written."
Cai Yinong only watched the synopsis and the first two episodes, and she was already convinced that this was a good book that was more exciting than "Fish Beauty", she put away the script, walked to Chen Nan and sat down: "Write three scripts in half a year, all of them are high-quality products, and your talent in screenwriting is not inferior to this face." ”
Cai Yinong looked at Chen Nan fixedly.
The filming experience of the two dramas.
Nearly half a year of running-in changes.
Compared with the original owner who just signed the Datang contract in October, he has a good skin, and Chen Nan at this time has more charm.
Power.
Talent.
Wisdom.
Character.
These qualities are no less important to men than their appearance.
For most Muqiang women, the inside is much higher than the outside.
In this regard, today's Chen Nan is far more charming than the original.
Cai Yinong took a close look at a wave of peerless beauty, and was relaxed, and then got up and took a stack of documents from the table: "The reverse of "Fish Beauty" in Taiwan Province is good, and there are many advertisers found, I picked up twelve for you, five of which are tied to Sun Li. ”
Shoot commercials!
This is a significant source of financial support for the students of the three faculties, including quite a few graduates.
Chen Nan is not qualified to accept endorsements at present, but the works and appearance are here, and advertisers with a keen sense of smell have already come to the door.
Advertising can be received by his soft hand.
This is comparable to making money from filming.
But Chen Nan is currently more interested in his works.
"Sister K, is there a new play for me after the year?" Chen Nan didn't hide it, he had communicated with Cai Yinong on the phone when he was in the crew before, and asked Cai Yinong to help him find more resources.
Look for a needle in a haystack.
What if there is a pearl in the sea?
"In the year-"
Cai Yinong pointed to the script that Chen Nan had just gotten: "After Director Li and Boss Xia read it, if the book is feasible, filming will start in April at most." ”
"Male Lin Zhiying."
"The second male Guo Jing'an."
"It's not my turn to play this play."
Chen Nan was stunned when he heard this.
Lin Zhiying is the first brother of the Xia family.
Guo Jingan is not only a popular wireless artist, but also the face of Datang Company's packaging agent.
This "Baolian Lantern" can barely be regarded as two male protagonists, one on each side, and it is not Chen Nan's turn.
Cai Yinong also frowned.
If she can convince Xia Yushun, she would prefer to use Chen Nan rather than Guo Jingan. After all, Chen Nan is the real person himself, with a seven-year contract, and a full brokerage contract.
But the question is -
"Your image and age are more suitable for agarwood, not Liu Yanchang."
"But Lin Zhiying's image is also only suitable for agarwood."
"You can't snatch him."
"If you are forced to play Liu Yanchang-"
Cai Yinong shook his head: "Boss Xia won't agree." ”
She herself would not have agreed.
Compared with promoting the development of its artists, it is more important for Datang to ensure the quality of the dramas filmed, and dare not mess around in important roles.
"This play will be played first."
Cai Yinong pushed another stack of documents to Chen Nan: "This is a drama to be filmed this year, and several of them can directly get roles, and the others only have the opportunity to interview." ”
"So much?"
Chen Nan took it and looked at it, stunned.
Arrange the outlines of these scripts one by one, and there are eleven of them. He always thought that Datang didn't have many resources, and it seemed that he was thinking badly.
In this, there are eight plays, and Chen Nan has never heard of them.
But one of the eight plays can set the role of the second male lead, and three are the third male lead.
Chen Nan put aside the four characters first.
And then focus on the other three -
"The Monk of Ikyu."
"The King of Martial Arts."
"Like fog, like rain and like wind."
Of these three dramas, at first glance, only the third one seems to be the most famous.
Not really.
"Yixiu Monk" will later be renamed "Clever Little Monk", and will eventually be "Clever Little Monk". This is the first cooperation between Zhang Weijian and Li Bingbing, and the second time is "Young Zhang Sanfeng".
"The Happy King of Martial Arts" was finally named "The History of Martial Arts", starring Huang Haibing and Wang Yan.
The last "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" is the most famous of the three dramas, and it is also the one with the most celebrities in later generations-
Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Lu Yi, Sun Honglei, Li Xiaoran, Liao Fan.
It's all big names.
With this drama, Lu Yi has secured his status as a first-line niche after "Never Look Away".
Chen Kun jumped up, and the national popularity skyrocketed, and then with a "Family of Gold Powder", he ate 20 years of dividends, which can be called the male version of the immortals.
All three dramas are good!
……
""Clever Little Don't Understand", Zhu Houzhao's audition opportunity."
This is Nie Yuan's role, which is considered the third male in the play, but: "Still Nie Yuan?" ”
With Chen Nan's image and resume, the chance of passing the audition for this role is quite high.
On the contrary, it was Nie Yuan.
Without the bonus of "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", the main reason is that without the network resources formed by filming this drama, it is basically impossible to get this role again.
The news of the casting of the crew may not be received.
"The History of Martial Arts", the second male panda...... of the attendants. ”
Chen Nan doesn't remember which one was played by the original panda, but he had an impression of the two followers: "One is Yang Junyi, and the other is Zhang Jin." ”
Both of these people joined Zhou Yi Film and Television this year.
Zhou Yi.
Datang.
The Wolong and Phoenix Chicks of the early 21st century costume films.
At this time, both of them had not yet made their mark, and both were still in their infancy.
I didn't expect to encounter it in this way.
"For the role of a follower, Datang can take one for me."
But this kind of role is not even as good as 'Jiang Yunfei', even if "Wulin Gaiden" is a big hit, it will not improve Chen Nan much.
Not to mention the supporting roles of the protagonist, Chen Nan doesn't care about the number of scenes, but the characters must be brilliant, such as the 'ancient three links' in "The First in the World".
Little follower?
Nothing to play, nothing to force.
Chen Nan put the script aside and looked at the last play.
"Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", the audition opportunity for the male number three."
This drama is a drama tailor-made by Zhao Baogang for Chen Kun, and even the name of the actor is 'Chen Zikun'. His debut film was the film "National Anthem" released last year, which ranked fifth at the annual box office in the mainland.
Male No. 2 Lu Yi has just become popular with the help of "Never Look Away".
The male No. 3 Alai is played by Sun Honglei, who starred in Zhang Yimou's movie "My Father and Mother" last year, and ranked tenth at the domestic box office in 1999.
One by one, they are all characters.
"Can't grab it!"
Chen Nan looked left and right, and after hesitating for a moment, he didn't choose any of them: "Sister K, I still have two books here, one is the suspense theme of the Republic of China, and the other is a costume love light comedy with a cross-theme theme." ”
