In the evening, Liu Dehua called Chen Shuo and said that he would come to the imperial capital on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

When the time comes, let Chen Shuo follow him to bump into the character.

Chen Shuo naturally agreed.

The next day, Chen Shuo first went to Zhou Yi to hold a New Year's meeting to talk about this year's task arrangement.

In fact, the most important thing is the upcoming filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

This drama is scheduled to start on February 20, that is, the first day of the second lunar month, in Hengdian Film and Television City.

Now, the people of the production team have been prepared one after another, and next, Yang Junyi and others will also rush to Hengdian.

After the meeting in the morning, Chen Shuo rushed to Jingwen Records and arrived at He Zhengyang's office.

Seeing him coming, He Zhengyang invited him to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and said: "One million albums have been burned, 50,000 records, 350,000 CDs, and 600,000 tapes.

This is the first half month of preparation, and there is no shutdown at the factory, just a slowdown.

According to the estimation of the marketing department, your album can at least double the previous one. ”

Chen Shuo's second album is titled "Snow Moon Style", a slightly poetic name.

But it can echo the songs on his album.

Ten songs, most of them are ancient songs with a single genre and a little pathos.

There are music videos for each song, but they are basically used off-the-shelf.

The scenery and plot cut out from "Ambush on All Sides" and "Water Moon Cave Sky".

Chen Shuo nodded when he heard this, and said, "When will it be released?" ”

"On the sixteenth day of the first month, it just so happened that "Water Moon Cave Sky" was also broadcast on the sixteenth night, which happened to cooperate with each other."

"How do I need to cooperate with the publicity?"

"I have discussed with Miss Shan, starting from the sixteenth, you will hold a two-day signing in the imperial capital and Jinkou respectively.

Then go to Guangdong Province and hold a four-day signing in Yangcheng, Xiangjiang, Pengcheng, Rongcheng and other places.

In the end, let's go to Modu, Lin'an, Gusu and other places to publicize.

It just so happens that after running through these places, you can go to filming with peace of mind.

I'll call you when there's an important event. ”

Chen Shuo calculated: "Four days here in the imperial capital, four days in Guangdong Province, and three days in the three places of the magic capital, this is 11 days, plus the time on the road, how can it take four or five days to directly promote it for half a month?" ”

"Actually, this is a few, you are like Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangcheng, Star City, Mountain City and other places, and you have a lot of fans.

It's just that you are the protagonist of this drama now, so it's not good to delay you for too long.

Otherwise, why should it be advertised for a month. ”

In fact, whether it is Zhou Yi or Jingwen, they can be said to be very tolerant of Chen Shuo.

Basically, he didn't let him keep running commercial performances.

The period after the year before and after the year is a good time to run business performances to make money, but after the year is over, he wants to go home for the New Year.

After the year, I came back to worship Nian for three days, and played with Chen Rui and Shu Hui for three days.

He wasted this great opportunity to make money.

But Chen Shuo was reluctant to run more, and the two companies did not urge, which is really rare.

It's not that Chen Shuo doesn't want money, he is still waiting for money to buy a house and decorate.

It's just that he really doesn't want to be busy during the New Year and New Year, and he doesn't have any free time at all.

Hearing He Zhengyang's words, Chen Shuo didn't say anything, just nodded and responded, "Okay!" ”

After another conversation, he saw that there was nothing to do, and he got up and left.

Take advantage of the fact that you can still be free in these two days, and you will be lazy if you steal more.

In the afternoon, he followed Liu Yifei and a few others to play until the evening, and the next morning, he contacted Andy Lau and then met him.

got into the car, Chen Shuo hugged Andy Lau and said, "Brother Hua, have a good New Year!" ”

"Happy New Year!" Andy Lau smiled and patted him on the back.

His mood was a little low, and Chen Shuo knew that it was because Mei Yanfang was now in a state of running out of oil.

Back in Xiangjiang, after surviving the Chinese New Year, her condition deteriorated dramatically, and now she has been sent to the intensive care ward of the hospital whether she wants it or not.

I don't know how long it will last.

Chen Shuo didn't say anything comforting, this situation is really hard to say.

Andy Lau pointed to a person beside him and introduced: "Come, let me introduce you, this is my company's artist and my brother, Lin Jiadong."

Jiadong, this is Chen Shuo, don't look at him young, he is very good at acting. ”

"Hello, Brother Jiadong, Brother Hua touted." Chen Shuo stretched out his hand to Lin Jiadong and said.

"Hello, Chen Shuo." Lin Jiadong shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Brother Hua doesn't praise people casually, and he told me that you are really good at acting." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Andy Lau talked about the details of the play.

"This drama is a work that director Feng Xiaogang has polished for two years, adapted from "No Thieves in the World".

It tells the story of two thieves, a man and a woman, who protect a stupid root who believes that there are no thieves in the world all the way, and is not remembered by other thieves.

Director Feng found me and wanted me to play the role of 'thief' Wang Bo.

I came to you because I wanted you and Jiadong to play the villains in the play.

The role is certainly not heavy, but it is also very distinctive.

……”

In Andy Lau's narration, Chen Shuo also had a general understanding of the situation of the show.

The whole story is about the process of two thieves, Bo and Wang Li, the thief mother, who embarked on the road of redemption because of a migrant worker named Silly Gen.

Among them, the villain is a professional pickpocket gang, led by Hu Li, who is known as Uncle Li, and his subordinates also include the second child, Four Eyes, female thief Xiao Ye and others.

And Andy Lau wants Chen Shuo to play the role of the four eyes in the thief group, and the role that Lin Jiadong wants to try is the second role in the thief group.

As he spoke, the car came to Huayi, and after entering, someone welcomed the three of them into a conference room.

When Feng Xiaogang saw it, he got up and said with a smile: "Dehua is here, hurry, please!" ”

Andy Lau greeted with a smile on his face: "Director Feng, Teacher Ge...... Sorry, it's late. ”

Chen Shuo and Lin Jiadong followed Andy Lau to salute.

Looking at the people present, there are director Feng Xiaogang, actors Ge You, Li Bingbing and others, which Chen Shuo knows.

The rest are either in suits and leather shoes, or dressed casually, and they all look like they are the representatives of the investors and the main creators of the show.

Feng Xiaogang joked: "Hey, in our territory, if you can come earlier than us, then how faceless will we be?" We also just came, and you came. ”

After some greetings, Andy Lau also introduced Chen Shuo and the others slightly.

"This is Lin Jiadong, an artist from my company."

Lin Jiadong bowed when he heard the words and said, "Director Feng, hello everyone, I'm Lin Jiadong!" ”

He pointed at Chen Shuo again and said, "This is my newly recognized little brother, Chen Shuo." He starred with me in "Ambush on All Sides" directed by Zhang Yimou. ”

Chen Shuo also bowed down and said hello.

"So that's you?" Feng Xiaogang looked at Chen Shuo and smiled.

Chen Shuo said modestly: "I didn't expect Director Feng to hear about me, it's really an honor." ”

"It's not an old report on the Internet that Director Yimou took a fancy to two newcomers, saying that not only the acting skills are good, but also the characters.

I've been listening to rumors, but I haven't seen much of it, but today I can be regarded as seeing it. ”

"I hope I didn't disappoint Director Feng."

"Not disappointed, not disappointed." Feng Xiaogang beckoned: "Come, come, Dehua, please take a seat!" All sit! ”

After each sat down, they chatted for a while, and someone pushed the door in.

Chen Shuo saw that it was Liu Ruoying, who was born on Taiwan Island, and her agent and assistant.

Feng Xiaogang greeted her again, and after she sat down, she said, "Everyone is here, let's talk about business."

From now on, our drama will begin to be officially prepared.

I called you here today, that is, to talk about the role of this drama.

Although our script has been decided, everyone brainstorms and can always shape the characters better.

There are only a few main characters in this play, Wang Bo and Wang Li, the male and female protagonists, naturally needless to say.

It is served by the two of you, Dehua and Ruoying, and we also recognize your strength.

Uncle Li, the leader of the pickpocket gang, has a son to serve; The policeman who pursued Wang Bo and the two was played by Zhang Hanyu.

Now there are still stupid roots left, and a few of Uncle Li's subordinates, we didn't know before.

Silly Gen is still looking for it, it's hard to find an actor who fits this role, and I don't have a clue when to find it.

Today, let's settle down a few of Uncle Li's subordinates first. ”

Assistant director Xu Zongzheng said: "According to the setting, Uncle Li has a huge gang of dozens of people.

But now that our movie is limited, it is definitely impossible to portray so many people, and now we are set in the camp of two men and one woman.

The second child, the four eyes and Xiao Ye, these three characters will be the main representatives of the gang.

Before Andy said that he wanted to recommend two people, it must be Lin Jiadong and Chen Shuo. ”

"yes, I think the two of them are a good fit." Andy Lau nodded and said, "However, in terms of casting, it is still up to Director Feng to decide."

If you look at it, that's really good, after all, Director Feng is the helmsman of our show. ”

"Since Dehua recommended the two of them, it must be no problem." Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "However, they are subordinates of Zi, whether they are suitable or not, let Yuzi decide, what does Dehua think?" ”

Andy Lau responded: "Yes, Mr. Ge's acting skills are obvious to all, he said that it will definitely work, and if it doesn't work, it will definitely not work." ”

"Hey, I'm an actor, can't I just act honestly?" Ge You said in his characteristic voice, "But since you all think so.

Then let's give it a try, if it doesn't work, let's take a look. ”

When Andy Lau heard this, he said to Liu Jiadong and Chen Shuo: "In this case, the two of you can learn from Teacher Ge, and if you can't succeed, you can play back with Teacher Ge, which is a kind of learning." ”

"Thank you, Director Feng, thank you, Teacher Ge." Chen Shuo and the others got up and thanked them.

Ge You waved his hand, asked the two to sit down, and said, "Sit down, learn from each other, learn from each other." ”

Feng Xiaogang said: "You Zi chooses a scene, let the soldiers follow, just the four of you play a scene, see if it works." ”

"Okay, then let's come to the play where the four of us come out." Ge You said to screenwriter Lin Lisheng: "Please find out the script of this play and let them see it." ”

Seeing that Lin Lisheng gave the script to the three of them, Feng Xiaogang said again: "The three of them will read the script there, and let's also talk about a few characters in the play."

Although the script is set, the inspiration of the actors is also an important part of a good movie.

Dehua comes first. ”

"My understanding ......"

Andy Lau and the others discussed the script and characters there and didn't mention it for the time being, Chen Shuo, Lin Jiadong and Li Bingbing took the script given by Lin Lisheng and began to prepare.

To be honest, acting with Ge You is still a lot of pressure for Chen Shuo.

If you want to say who the top powerful actor in China is, it is estimated that the congregation has different opinions, and everyone has it.

But if you want to say that the top handful of powerful actors in China, there must be a place for Ge You.

In 94, he won the Best Actor Award at the 47th Cannes International Film Festival for the movie "Alive", becoming the first Cannes actor in Chinese mainland.

Perhaps everyone's first impression when they think of him is the dramatic characters in several movies directed by Feng Xiaogang.

But he is not limited to one type of performance.

It's just that he is the best at portraying the kind of little people with distinct personalities to the fullest.

Such a person, according to Chen Shuo's estimate, he is at least running for a legend in the profession of actor.

And he's just getting started.

With such a great god here, Chen Shuo did not dare to slack off in the slightest for this simple audition.

is like Andy Lau said, being able to act in a play with him is a rare learning.

He carefully read the script in his hand, this scene is the scene of the pickpocket gang.

The perspective starts from the second child, and as he enters the waiting room of the station, Uncle Li dressed as an old man, the four eyes who practice finger dexterity when turning coins, and Xiao Ye, who watches his nails, appears.

At the beginning, the second child instructed everyone not to go to Uncle Li, especially Xiao Ye.

It's just that Xiao Ye carelessly doesn't care at all, he was annoyed by the words, and said that the four eyes are not getting old, why don't you talk about him?

The four eyes were not angry, and they said-for-tat: "I stepped on your tail?" ”

When Xiao Ye saw it, he was not angry, and sat directly in front of Uncle Li.

Then Uncle Li opened his mouth and said a line that was very characteristic of Feng Xiaogang.

Seeing that Xiaoye was favored, the second child also reminded the four eyes to be a man.

Hearing this, Siyan hurriedly came to Uncle Li's side to show his loyalty.

Finally, with Uncle Li's superb technique, he sent the watch in his hand to the four eyes as the end.

In the whole scene, although the second child has the most lines, the role of Uncle Li is set off everywhere.

Even the open and secret battles between Four Eyes and Xiao Ye are all currying favor with Uncle Li and showing his absolute status.

And the last hand shows that Uncle Li can be the leader, not because he entered the industry early and has a high seniority, but because of real means.

The importance of the other three is the second child, Xiao Ye, and finally the four eyes.

It is not difficult to see from the script that he belongs to the bottom of this gang, and he is a little unconscious.

After all, if he really wants to be strong, he should be like Xiao Ye, playing with his fingers or other relaxation, instead of studying hard there.

If he was clever, he would definitely not be able to distinguish between the big and small kings, let alone blatantly clash with Xiao Ye in front of Uncle Li.
