Chapter 297: Do what you like
After watching "Daming Dynasty 1566", Jiang Bai began to think about what role he could play in this drama, no matter whether Lao Zhao could take down the copyright of this TV series at that time, he could play it.
It's just that those characters who are relatively high in the top positions are a little inappropriate, whether it is Emperor Jiajing, or Hai Rui, Hu Zongxian, Yan Song, Zhang Juzheng and others, in their own image, they are actually not suitable.
Because these actors require a little older, even if they are in their thirties, they have to grow old.
These are the basic requirements for casting, and it is impossible for a young man in his twenties to put on old makeup to play an entire TV series.
First, it is so difficult, and secondly, the actors themselves have to enter the play, and it is indeed a bit difficult for people in their twenties to play the temperament of people in their sixties and seventies.
It's better to directly find an actor of the right age and good acting skills to play.
Looking at it, Jiang Bai felt that there was a character named Shen Yishi in it, which was quite suitable for him.
Although the other party is also old, at least not that old, that is, thirty or forty years old.
But the only problem is that this character was completed relatively early, and in about 40 episodes, Shen Yishi died in more than a dozen episodes.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as the character is good enough." Jiang Bai thought so.
After another period of time, Pei Le called Jiang Bai and said that the registration for the World Championship would start in a few days, and asked Jiang Bai if he was willing to participate.
"Of course."
"Okay, then I'll give you your name, but you still need to provide some personal identification information, and you have to fill out a form."
"Well, then I'll go back and go again."
But when the other party heard this, he hurriedly said no.
"I'll go back to Yanjing tomorrow with something, and I'll just bring the form over to you when the time comes."
"It's fine."
But Jiang Bai didn't know whether the other party really had something to do, or whether he came to Yanjing to fill out the form in order to make one less trip for himself, which didn't matter to him.
The next day, Pei Le came to Yanjing, and went directly to the company to find Jiang Bai After signing it, Jiang Bai also took the other party around the company again.
"That's really good, Mr. Jiang, do you have any ideas for making a game-themed work in the future? I can be out of the way. ”
"I haven't thought about this before, but it sounds pretty good, it doesn't seem like anyone shoots this kind of subject, and I'll let the screenwriters ponder it when I look back."
"Hahaha, I'm just saying it casually."
"It's fine."
"But Mr. Jiang, since you have joined our team, I think it will be better to promote it on the Internet at that time, usually the club has a new person coming in as the main force or someone has signed a contract when it expires, and other clubs will send some news."
"It's okay, just tell me how to publicize it, I'm a player in your club, you're the boss, I listen to you."
"Haha, no, no, it's our honor to receive such a great god as you, then I'll go back and get the propaganda plan out and send you a copy, you see that if it's okay, then we'll do it, how about it?"
"Yes, you can."
After Pei Le left, Jiang Bai also had one more thing on his side, that is, he followed Zhao Zhe to talk to the leaders of Central Taiwan.
"Ming Dynasty 1566" wants to find CCTV for production, which is not an easy thing.
Because if you want to pass a TV series on CCTV, you have to go through layers of approvals and reviews.
Then at the time of production, you have to choose the director, choose the actors, choose the shooting location, and so on.
And when choosing actors for this kind of drama, you don't have to think about it, most of them will definitely choose from the National Theater and some art troupes.
Of course, there is an advantage to choosing them, that is, the salary is cheap.
But these conditions are acceptable to Jiang Bai's side, anyway, according to Jiang Bai's idea, that is, as long as the company can cooperate with CCTV during filming, and then let Jiang Bai take a role of Shen Yishi.
As for other roles, Jiang Bai also plans to let some actors in the company try it at that time, anyway, if he can try it, he will play it, and if he can't try it, he will shoot other scenes, and there is no loss.
Zhao Zhe's own communication and negotiation skills in business, coupled with Jiang Bai's affinity and drinking, took a few days, and they finally persuaded the leaders of Central Taiwan.
But the other party's request is also to read the script first, if the script is okay, they agree to shoot, if the script is not good, then it is useless for them to say it.
"Alas, Jiang Bai, do you think we can do this? To be honest, I just knew each other on Liu Heping's side and chatted with him, but I haven't even written a word about it like this.
Now that the script has not reached our hands, and the copyright has not been taken down, we have directly agreed with the central station, isn't this equivalent to an empty glove white wolf? ”
"I can't say that, this is just one of the strategies, as long as the script is 100% fine, then we can make him 100% broadcast on CCTV, and there is basically no need to worry about making the book too bad when cooperating with a unit like CCTV.
When the time comes, let Mr. Liu be the producer, so that the whole is not controlled by him, there is no harm to him, and it is completely different to broadcast it on those more popular places and broadcast it on CCTV.
Those local stations also need antennas, and they need cable TV to watch them in other areas, but CCTV can be watched all over the country, and as long as there is TV, there will be CCTV. ”
"Okay, let's hope so, so what are we going to do next? I heard that he likes to eat chili sauce, and the leaders over there in Xiangtai will bring some every time they go to him, should we buy some too? ”
But Jiang Bai shook his head: "No, what's the point of just eating hot sauce?" It's not an exclusive recipe, I got three tickets yesterday, and we'll send them to him later. ”
"What ticket?"
"Of course, it's a ticket for the theater."
"Drama Garden?" Zhao Zhe was a little puzzled.
"Surely, if you want to find someone to do something, don't you know him? He grew up in the theater, then worked during the day and studied at night, was admitted to the troupe at the age of eighteen, worked as a professional performer for three years, and at the age of twenty-one, he was admitted to a public school teacher, and taught Chinese in middle school for nine years.
In '82, he wrote his first stage play, and later became a full-time playwright, and then gradually became the director of the HY City Drama Studio, and began to conduct stage playwriting and opera theory research.
In 84, he participated in the compilation of "Chinese Opera Chronicles" and won an award.
In 94, he adapted opera TV series, and later began to work as a screenwriter for TV dramas.
And according to the grapevine, he himself likes opera very much. ”
Zhao Zhe was stunned, he had known Liu Heping for seven or eight years, and he had never heard of the other party still having this kind of hobby, he only knew that Liu Heping was also a person in the system, although he was a screenwriter, he also had a good identity.
But this kind of thing is a private hobby...... After all, they only know each other, and they can say a few words after they meet.
"How do you know that? Where did you get this gossip? ”
"You don't have to worry about that, you just need to know that it's absolutely reliable."
"Okay."
Then they went to find Liu Heping together.
Liu Heping himself has a strong bookish atmosphere and looks very elegant, and this time he came out to eat with them, just wearing a pair of black pants and a white T-shirt, which is simple.
"Teacher Liu, I have been looking up for a long time, I am Jiang Bai."
"Mr. Jiang, hello, I heard Xiao Zhao talk about you before, he said that you are very talented and capable, and you are a person who does great things."
Hearing this, Jiang Bai smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I only have a high school degree, but I usually like to watch some history and listen to some operas, and you can just call me Xiao Jiang." ”
"How can that be, you're the boss of your company."
"What's not to do? Teacher Liu, you are too polite, I am not qualified to be a student like this. ”
"Hahaha, you're polite."
But after a few words, the distance between the two was a little closer, and with Zhao Zhe in the middle, they quickly sat down and began to chat.
However, Jiang Bai called this Teacher Liu sincerely, although everyone in the entertainment industry will call him a teacher when they meet, but most of these teachers are watery.
Some older ones are okay, after all, they are also elders, and there are indeed a lot of things to learn, but some young actors are called teachers, which is purely like taking a taxi and calling someone else's driver master.
But Liu Heping has been a teacher before, and he has been a teacher for nine years, and he is currently a national first-class screenwriter, so this teacher should be called.
And Liu Heping seems to like to be called like this.
"Xiao Jiang, how did you think of taking the road of being an actor in the first place? And I only went to high school and didn't go to school, so how good would it be to go to school in the future? ”
Jiang Bai sighed: "Alas, this is also a matter of no way, the family was poor at the beginning, and my parents left early, so I and my sister were left to depend on each other, and my sister's study was better than me at that time, so I didn't study, I came out to work to make money, and let my sister go to school." ”
Hearing this, Liu Heping was in awe, he knew that in that era, everyone was patriarchal, and generally in this case, his sister dropped out of school to work for his younger brother to go to school, Jiang Bai can take the initiative to do this, which is enough to be respected.
"And what is your sister doing now?"
"She is also a teacher now, but she teaches kindergarten, I used to teach in BJ, and I also met Brother Zhao at that time, and it was he who recommended me to play a murderer in "Serious Case Group 6", which was my first role with lines and a frontal camera, so Brother Zhao is also my guide."
"Indeed, Xiao Zhao is a very good person, he writes a good book, and he is also down-to-earth.
But I just heard you say, do you like opera? ”
"yes, I do like opera more than those pop songs now."
"It's rare that young people nowadays basically don't listen to these things, that is, our older generation is still listening."
"yes."
For this Liu Heping, Jiang Bai has worked hard before, although he either plays games or does something else every day, but since he wants to cooperate with the other party, he must do what he likes.
People like Liu Heping don't say anything else, just take out this script, most of them are TV stations that want to shoot it.
And this is Jiang Bai's more clever point, compared with the leaders of Xiangtai, although everyone is to their advantage, it is obviously easier to start from the aspect of drama.
In this way, during the meal, they talked about drama all the time.
Because Liu Heping had done opera research before, he was also the first to say, and Jiang Bai was a person who came from ancient times, and he went to listen to the opera when he had nothing to do, and his father-in-law also liked to listen to operas, although some allusions could not be understood, but just listening to the story could also be listened to with relish.
When the meal was about to be finished, Jiang Bai took out a theater ticket from his bag.
"Mr. Liu, it just so happened that someone gave me a few tickets some time ago, but it just so happens that there are no people around me who like to listen to dramas, otherwise you can accept this ticket, and let's listen to it together when the time comes."
Liu Heping glanced at this ticket, and probably knew in his heart that Jiang Bai had prepared it a long time ago, but he glanced at the words on the ticket again and found that he happened to like to listen to this scene more.
"Isn't that okay?"
"What's bad, it's still going to be put anyway, instead of forcibly taking someone who doesn't like to listen to the drama to listen, it's better to give it to the bosom friend, at least this ticket is not buried in my hands, after all, I don't like to waste it very much."
"Hahaha, don't like waste? When you say this, I remember that you played "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" before. ”
Jiang Bai scratched his head: "That's all in the past." ”
"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed, your General Yuwen is really good."
But in the end, Liu Heping still accepted the ticket.
After sending the other party home, on the way back, Zhao Zhe sat in the co-pilot and looked a little elated: "If he can accept that ticket, it means that we have half of the success, but I have to say that you do have a hand in talking about business." ”
"It's just some basics."
"Be modest and modest, no wonder you have eaten me to death all these years, your feelings have studied me thoroughly."
"Brother Zhao, how hurtful are you talking about this?"
"That's what I said, anyway, I'm willing to follow you now, capable people don't look at age, if only I was there, the company would not have developed so well, and the money I could earn as my own boss may not be as much as it is now."
Indeed, since Jiang Bai became the boss of the company, the scenes filmed have become more and more awesome, and the people brought back are also more powerful than the other, what Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang...... Looking at its unsightly, but ugly body has a huge amount of energy.
Not to mention that there is Jiang Wen in charge.
In the past few years alone, he has bought a house with a particularly good school district, and although he has also taken out a loan, it is estimated that it will be paid off in a few years.
