Respect the original.

Adaptation is not nonsense.

This is not only what Zu Ming reminded Dong Deng, but also Dong Deng's insistence on making IP dramas by himself.

He always felt that since it was an adaptation, he had to respect the original work, and at the same time, he must respect the original author.

The original author of this "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is called Sun Xing, he is a part-time online writer, and he usually writes some short serials on the website, most of which are mainly spy wars.

You must know that most of the current online articles start with millions of words, and the longest online article is still "The Cause of the Great Avenue of the Heavens" written by the author of the water monkey, which has been updated for 17 years and is still being updated.

So an online article with only 180,000 words like "For Whom the Bell Tolls" really belongs to the first one.

At the beginning, Huahai Film and Television bought the copyright of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" because it was just in time for the IP boom, and many lively IPs like the starting point had already been bought, so Huahai simply bought some unpopular ones.

Or maybe most people haven't heard of this "For Whom the Bell Tolls", whether online or offline? ?

Don't look at this Sun Xing as writing about spy warfare in the Republic of China, but he is not very old, he is only 27 years old, and he looks quite socially phobic, when Dong Deng introduced him, Sun Xing stood up and just said, 'Hello everyone'.

Next, it is the introduction of the screenwriting team, this time the main screenwriter of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Xia Ying, which was also officially announced when it was announced before.

Xia Ying is a big name in the screenwriting industry, he has very few works, and there are only three works in the past ten years, but each work can be called a phenomenal work.

This time, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Xia Ying's second time as a screenwriter after three years.

In Xia Ying's words, he likes this script very much, and they actually found him when Huahai Film and Television bought the copyright three years ago, and Xia Ying was also very interested.

Today's script study will honestly meet each other, get to know each other, and then shoot the material, and everyone will have a brief chat with each other, talk about their understanding of the characters, and so on.

Liang Yi plays the role of Chen Xueli, the young master of the Chen family.

Lin Xing plays Chen Xuewen, the son of the Chen family.

Ren Shuai plays Chen Xuexing, who was raised by the Chen family.

Wei Fei plays the role of Chen Xuewu, the eldest sister of the Chen family.

These are the 4 leading actors of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and even some of the scenes will be performed in the Chen family's villa.

Although Wei Fei is not the number one female, she also has a lot of roles, and the relationship between the Chen family sisters and brothers in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is quite complicated.

Family affection is naturally quite close, but at the same time, everyone's identity is multiple.

When Lin Xing was reading the script, he was actually thinking about who should play the role of Chen Xuewu, first of all, this role is very three-dimensional and multi-faceted.

Chen Xuewu is the eldest son of the Chen family, and there is a way to be the eldest sister like a mother, it can be said that whether it is Chen Xueli or Chen Xuewen, they all respect Chen Xuewu quite much.

Of course, it's not just respect.

According to the original setting, this Chen Xuewu took over the family business before the age of sixteen, because their parents were murdered at that time, and the Chen Group was in a difficult situation at that time, but Chen Xuewu took over the Chen Group and regained a foothold in the magic capital.

The script added another emotional line to Chen Xuewu, that is, Chen Xuewu could have gotten married at the age of 24, but in that case, the Chen Group would have been swallowed.

For this reason, Chen Xuewu decided not to marry for the sake of the Chen family and her younger brother.

Because Chen Xuewu has suffered all kinds of difficulties along the way, she is bound to be vicious, and she is the eldest sister, so it is easier for her to speak up.

When she was young, Chen Xuewu actually wanted to serve the country, but because of the Chen family's ties, she eventually became a red capitalist.

Strong, persistent, strong, and at the same time a touch of stubbornness.

No matter which adjective it is, basically the role of Chen Xuewu is extremely good.

"Sister Fei, I really didn't expect you to play Chen Xuewu."

After finishing this morning's script study, Lin Xing asked Wei Fei with a smile.

Wei Fei said with a smile: "I didn't plan to act, you also know that I have been helping Lao Liu choose a script recently, I want to be a good helper, but Lao Liu feels that he is not in a hurry for a while, and he is friends with Lao Dong, this Lao Dong is ......"

Okay.

This Liu Zhou turned out to be good friends with Dong Deng.

It's really getting smaller and smaller.

Wei Fei said that after reading the script, she actually liked the role of Ying Fei'er the most, because she thought that the role of Ying Fei'er was flesh and blood.

But there is no way, Wei Fei's age is not able to act in this at all.

"Sister Fei, what's going on with this Ling Mei??"

Ren Shuai asked Wei Fei: "Originally, Liang Yi had already parachuted the male protagonist, and suddenly another heroine was airborne behind him. ”

"Heh, what can I do??"

Wei Fei said with a little disdain: "That's it." ”

"It's normal."

Lin Xing still said the same thing: "Let's just play ourselves, Sister Fei, this time your role is not easy to play." ”

"Yes."

Wei Fei laughed: "Have you finished reading the script?" ”

Lin Xing nodded lightly: "I'm done." ”

Wei Fei continued to ask, "Have you finished reading the original book??" ”

"Yes, I'm done."

Lin Xingdao.

Wei Fei has worked with Lin Xing, and when filming "Portrait Murder", Wei Fei knew how strong Lin Xing's talent was, and Lin Xing did not have an ordinary understanding of every role.

You must know that during the filming, several actors listened to Lin Xing's advice.

Lin Xing is extremely perverted in the understanding of the role.

Because of this, Wei Fei thought of asking Lin Xing for advice.

The relationship between the two was already quite familiar, so Wei Fei didn't see each other, she went straight to the point: "So, Ah Xing, what do you think is the positioning of the role of Chen Xuewu in the play?" ”

"Positioning??"

Lin Xing thought for a while and said, "I think her positioning is a weakness. ”

Wei Fei was a little stunned: "Weakness??? ”

"That's right, it's a weakness."

Lin Xing nodded lightly: "She is the weakness of the Chen family's brothers, in my opinion, the eldest sister is the most trusted person in this world by Chen Xuewen, and even Chen Xuewen only feels a headache when facing the eldest sister."

Secondly, let alone Chen Xueli, because the eldest sister brought Chen Xueli up, and even the eldest sister gave Chen Xueli maternal love, and she raised Chen Xueli to grow up.

There is also Chen Xuexing, in his heart, it was the eldest sister who saved her childhood, and also sent him to study abroad

……

At the time of [Script Study], Lin Xing didn't have a chance to say this, and when he said the first [Script Study], Lin Xing was talking about all kinds of analysis, wasn't that pretending?

But to be honest, even if Wei Fei didn't ask himself, Lin Xing would take the time to analyze it with Wei Fei.

This analysis is not a lecture, but rather a discussion with each other.

Some plots need to be talked about with each other in order to be able to talk about them.

Wei Fei nodded lightly at this time: "It's really like this, your analysis is quite right, and it's really a weakness." ”

In the original book or in the script, in fact, Chen Xuewu wanted to join the underground struggle, but he was politely refused, because Chen Xuewu's character was not suitable.

She's too upright, too vicious.

It is precisely like this, many times Chen Xuewu will bring trouble to the Chen brothers.

"Ah Xing, what about my character??"

Ren Shuai couldn't help but ask on the side.

Lin Xing laughed: "You are the lubricant of the Chen family. ”

The word lubricant is perfect to describe the character of Chen Xuexing.

If the character Chen Xuewen has multiple identities, then Chen Xuexing also has multiple identities, not only that, but he has to help Chen Xuewen all the time.

Even when Chen Xuewen and Chen Xueli had a conflict, when Chen Xuewen and Chen Xuewu had a conflict, and when Chen Xueli and Chen Xuewu had a conflict, Chen Xuexing needed to mediate.

In short, it is very appropriate to say that the character of Chen Xuexing is a lubricant.

The next three people were chatting with each other about the script, Wei Fei was a little better, she knew Lin Xing's ability, but Ren Shuai was shocked.

He heard Kong Wen talk about Lin Xing's ability to understand the script, especially Lin Xing's ability to understand the role.

But that's just heard.

Before today, the two of them didn't discuss much about the start of filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

But when we discuss it today, it's really different.

In the afternoon, the [Script Reading] continued.

Unlike in the morning, this time the discussion is focused on the characters, and the most important thing is to say some lines.

Among them, Liang Yi also said some lines, and Lin Xing felt that it was okay when he heard it.

"Xiao Liang is right, then, Ah Xing, you can also talk about your character."

Dong Deng said with a smile.

Lin Xing said a few lines first.

"First there is a country, then there is a home, for me to serve the country is neither a job nor a business, that is faith."

"Born and raised in Sri Lanka, I love this city, and I have lived up to it."

……

Lin Xing was reading the lines.

He has a lot of feelings.

For Lin Xing, the character of Chen Xuewen is actually really distressing.

If you want to protect the country with this body, why should you be born into the Yumen Pass.

For Chen Xuewen, he is passionate about serving the country, he has thrown his life behind him from the beginning, he thinks that the Chen family can serve the country by himself.

He wanted his eldest sister not to get involved, he wanted his younger brother to study with peace of mind, and he didn't even want Chen Xuexing to be involved.

But the Chen family's style is here.

Whether it is Chen Xuewu, whether it is Chen Xuewen, even Chen Xueli, who has been naughty since he was a child, is also to serve the country.

This is the Chen family.

If Chen Xuewu's positioning in the play is a weakness, if Chen Xuexing's positioning in the play is a lubricant, then Chen Xuewen's positioning in the play is the soul.

The soul needs him to connect all the things together.

In the afternoon, the [script study] was more lively.

Most of the lead actors read their own lines.

"I'm here, sending off batches of children. Some were sent to the front, some behind enemy lines, and some to graves. Some of them are gentle, some are gentle, some are fierce. Even those who are greedy for life and afraid of death are all good children. It's a pity that they were born in the wrong era, entered the wrong school, and voted for the wrong teacher. ”

"I want to serve the country, I like the country, but do I have a chance? Or, I love my country, does he love me in this country? ”

"I never knew what to do next, I always wanted to live under the sun, but people like us, it is impossible to live under the sun, even if we die."

……

In the afternoon, some of the supporting characters, or some of the main characters, began to analyze and read aloud about their roles.

Lin Xing naturally saw some differences.

Some actors are really good at acting, just like when the script of "Sweeping the Black Waves" is being studied, then Ren Yi and Wang Fei and others can directly pull you into the plot.

This may also be the meaning of the script reading.

After the afternoon reading, the group had a meal together in the evening.

This is the crew's first dinner.

However, Ling Mei did not participate.

Dong Deng just said to everyone: "Let's not drink in the next few days, let's fight for this drama together." ”

Don't drink, just talk.

But after the end of this big dinner, Lin Xing got together with Wei Fei, Ren Shuai, and two other actors.

Everyone knew each other before, and then they all talked freely about the filming of the drama "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and even some other directions.

Again, it's all about shooting.

Back at the hotel, Xiao Nan told Lin Xing some of the next situation of Magnolia on the red carpet, and Lin Xing only needed to cross the group in "Sweeping the Black Waves".

Obviously, the crew of "Just to Wait for You" did not report Lin Xing at all, nor did they invite Lin Xing to walk the red carpet together.

How so??

This crew is the only one who Lin Xing has finished filming but doesn't have much intersection, except for the assistant director who filmed him at the beginning, the others really have no contact.

But it's normal.

After all, Lin Xing didn't shoot for a few days, and it is understandable that everyone's relationship has not reached this point.

The entertainment industry has always been a circle, and in the entertainment industry, you don't look at it as usual, it is a fight and killing, but many times it is also a human accident.

Just like things in the film industry this year, there are some bad movies that you think are bad movies, and even the audience is saying that he is a bad movie, but whether it is some film critics or some stars, they will give you Amway.

Say it's a good film.

Before that, there was also an official V who went crazy and said: "You smear this drama like this, my righteous media people will definitely not agree." ”

Do you really think of yourself as a father, or do you want to educate the audience? ?

These have always been what Lin Xing has taken as a warning.

As an actor, he just needs to do his part.

He can say a few words about things he really understands, and don't pretend to understand those who don't understand.

Lin Xing originally didn't want to participate in this Magnolia Awards, but there was no way, he was in the magic capital, and it was really impossible to say that he didn't participate.

What's more, this in itself is also an excellent exposure opportunity.

And Ding Chunling also helped Lin Xing ask for another chance.
