In a hotel in Beijing, Wen Weiji, the chief director of the crew of "Young Hero Fang Shiyu", is taking the two executive directors Li Huizhu and Tan Youye to discuss the next work plan.

The script of this play was completed as early as last year, and the reason why it has been delayed until now is mainly because there are some disagreements in the choice of actors, as well as the filming location.

According to the original plan, it was prepared to shoot on Treasure Island, but ATV, the partner of Feiteng Pictures, put forward a different opinion, and ATV also participated in the investment of this drama, and the main production team was ATV's people.

Compared with Treasure Island, ATV's attitude is still more inclined to come to the mainland to shoot, there are good mountains, rivers and good scenery here, no matter what kind of location you need, you can find a suitable one in the mainland, why bother to build a shed on Treasure Island, and synthesize to shoot.

Not only will it look fake, but it will also increase the cost of production.

But filming in the mainland is different, when the time comes, if you can add some mainland actors, if you can pull another production unit to cooperate, it will directly become a co-production, and it will be easier to enter the mainland market in the future.

Then there's the issue of casting.

The production team dominated by ATV wants to use the former ATV's first brother Lu Songxian to play the actor Fang Shiyu, probably thinking about bringing Lu Songxian back to ATV's camp.

But Zhou Linggang, the boss of Feiteng Pictures, insisted on using Zhang Weijian.

Although Zhang Weijian still has an appointment with ATV, he can be regarded as his own person, but he is already yesterday's yellow flower in Xiangjiang, and his reputation is not as good as before.

, an actor who was once praised by the media as Zhou Xingchi's successor, has indeed been popular for a while, but because of excessive frequent exposure and a single way of acting, the audience has long been tired of him.

felt that Zhang Weijian's acting was too noisy and noisy, and the audience was really not very popular.

Using Zhang Weijian as the leading actor is likely to offend the audience in Xiangjiang.

But helplessly, Zhou Linggang insisted that the two sides had previously collaborated on many works such as "Joyful Dragon" and "Short Song Xing", and they always admired Zhang Weijian and Zhou Linggang very much.

After repeated consultations, some differences were gradually unified, but at this time, new problems arose.

Wen Weiji's old friend Lu Feng learned that he was going to start a new play, so he recommended an actor to him.

In front of his old friend's face, Wen Weiji also agreed to give him the opportunity to audition, but before anyone saw it, the tape had already been sent.

After reading it, Wen Weiji was also a little shaken.

Originally, the audition was a formality, and the role of Hong Xiguan had already been decided, although he had not signed a contract with the actor yet, some media on the island side of the island had already disclosed the list of actors for this play.

Fan Shaohuang's name is impressively listed.

But in the video tape received, the Hong family fist performed by the young actor named Zhang Chu really made Wen Weiji very moved.

When he was young, he also had the experience of practicing martial arts, but his talent was not high, but he has always been very obsessed with martial arts.

It can be seen that although Zhang Chu is young, his level is definitely a master of the Hong family.

Moreover, Zhang Chu's image is also more prominent, but he lacks acting experience and is somewhat lacking in fame.

After repeated weighing and comparison, Wen Weiji still prefers to use Fan Shaohuang, who is more famous and is also a master of the Hong family.

But just when he was about to ask someone to contact Fan Shaohuang, Zhou Linggang's phone called.

As an investor, as well as the director of this play, he has to participate in the audition himself.

"My attitude is still to use Fan Shaohuang."

After chatting for a while about the next work arrangement, several people talked about the casting of Hong Xiguan again.

Li Huizhu was the first to speak.

"Why?"

"Obviously, Fan Shaohuang's fame is even greater, and besides, this is filming, not a martial arts competition, no matter how good the actor named Zhang Chu is, can he still fly away?"

Li Huizhu said, and pushed out the prepared photo of Fan Shaohuang.

"Don't forget, the actor we want to use Zhang Weijian, it is already very unpleasant to the audience in Xiangjiang, if the second male lead can't use an actor they like and are familiar with, it's hard for me to imagine that this drama can have any future in Xiangjiang."

Li Huizhu is right, and the reason is indeed very strong.

"But Mr. Zhou's side ......"

Tan Youye said at this time: "I have a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

Best of both worlds?

Wen Weiji hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it." ”

"I can let Zhang Chu play Hu Huiqian, originally I was going to find a newcomer to play this role, if I replace it with Zhang Chu, it will be easy to explain in all aspects."

It's a good idea.

For the role of Hu Huiqian in the play, the crew selected mainland actor Zheng Guolin, who had also gone to Xiangjiang to develop before, but unfortunately he had mixed up for a few years and had no results, so he returned to the mainland.

The selection of Zheng Guolin to play the male number three is obviously also for the mainland market.

But the problem is, the character is not likable.

Hu Huiqian in history is also one of the Ten Tigers of Shaolin, but after the adaptation, this role has been weakened a lot compared to Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan.

Especially in the story, in order to leave the Shaolin Temple and go down the mountain to take revenge, the part of the dog hole that he did not hesitate to drill is really difficult to like, and it was almost blackened in the later stage.

Lu Feng recommended that Zhou Linggang named the actor, and finally let the family play such a role, can he really explain the past?

After thinking about it, Wen Weiji couldn't make up his mind, and in the end he could only leave the problem to Zhou Linggang.

"The final decision is still left to Mr. Zhou!"

At this time, Zhang Chu and Lu Feng also arrived in the capital.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Chu suddenly had a feeling of the rest of his life.

Originally, he was very much looking forward to coming, he had long wanted to experience a day trip, but as soon as he took off, the sudden aggravated feeling, coupled with bursts of tinnitus, made him dizzy, followed by a churning in his stomach.

Fortunately, it didn't fly long in the sky, and it only took two hours to get from Hangzhou to the capital, which is worthy of being an artifact that travels thousands of miles a day.

Before he had time to sigh, the weightlessness brought by the landing of the plane tossed Zhang Chu enough.

"Feeling better?"

Lu Feng looked at Zhang Chu, who had just come out of the bathroom leaning on the wall, and tried to hold back his laughter.

finally found out, it turned out that Zhang Chu, this kid, also had a bad time.

Zhang Chu didn't even bother to say anything at this time, just waved his hand and made up his mind that no matter how far he went in the future, he would never take a plane again.

No matter how good this thing is, he can't be blessed.

"Do you want to find a place to rest, you ...... like this now?"

looks like a tuberculosis ghost, what kind of scene do you audition, and you have to be PASSED when you see the director.

Zhang Chu took a deep breath: "No need, Director Yuan will give two days." ”

"There's a lot of time! Rest today, go back tomorrow to see the director, and then fly back in the afternoon. ”

Still flying?

We will not accompany you!

"I'll take the train back!"

Zhang Chu said, the feeling began to churn up again, and quickly turned around and went to the bathroom again.

Vomit......

Seeing this, Lu Feng couldn't help laughing out loud anymore.

"Ah Feng!"

was laughing, suddenly heard someone calling him, looked back at the group of people standing not far away, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Brother Steel!"

As he spoke, he arrived in front of him in a few steps, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand after a long distance.

He is only a little famous in the entertainment industry of Treasure Island, but the one in front of him is a real big man.

Not just the big bosses, but ...... Literally the kind of big guy in the sense of the word.

Zhou Linggang, the founder of Feiteng Pictures and one of the four famous producers in the Baodao film and television industry.

Speaking of his life experience, it can be called a legend, and it is enough to make a TV series.

Entered the industry at the age of 26, at first he could only do some chores such as serving tea and pouring water, moving tables and sweeping floors in the crew, and later won the favor of a big director because of his diligence and serious and meticulous work attitude.

Since then, he has been on the rise, and the work of camera assistant, scene reporter, props management, director assistant, and crew has basically been done by him all over again.

If this trajectory continues, Zhou Linggang's next step should be to be a director or producer.

But in 79, Zhou Linggang suddenly established Feiteng Pictures, although it was only a small company at the beginning, but it developed very fast.

Especially in the early 80s, the series of TV series "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" produced directly made Zhou Linggang and his Feiteng Pictures famous.

Some people say that Zhou Linggang has the support of the local gangs on Baodao behind him, but he has never admitted it, but he has never denied it.

In fact, anyone who is familiar with the film and television industry can see why there is only the set of Feiteng Pictures if there is no one behind it, and it has never been patronized by gangs.

Baodao is the same as Xiangjiang, the entertainment industry itself is deeply involved with the black and astringent society, a crew wants to shoot in a certain place, and after arriving at the place, the first thing is to go to the pier.

Otherwise, you're guaranteed no peace.

But Feiteng Pictures has never had such trouble, if you want to say that there is no one behind Zhou Linggang, I am afraid that I don't even believe in ghosts.

"Ah Feng, aren't you helping Director Yuan film? How can it be in the capital? ”

Lu Feng hurriedly smiled: "It's really a coincidence, this time I brought an actor to audition, and the trial was still Brother Gang's play in your company, Brother Big Eyes told you." ”

"Young hero Fang Shiyu, that actor is called ...... Zhang Chu! ”

Zhou Linggang said, looking behind Lu Feng.

It's really going to kill Lao Tzu.

In the past, he braved the wind and rain, climbed the ice and snow, stayed in the wilderness at night, and never suffered any crime, Zhang Chu never cried out bitterly, but this time, he was really afraid.

Belch?

What about Lu Feng?

Just thinking about it, Zhang Chu suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and looked up just in time to meet Zhou Linggang's sharp gaze.

This man is not simple.

As a person in the officialdom, the most important thing is to have a clear vision, who can be offended, who can't be offended, who can't be offended now, who can't be offended clearly, and must be clear at all times.

This requires excellent eyesight, which can analyze the corresponding identity of a person in the shortest possible time through a person's appearance, clothing, and self-imposed momentum.

The one in front of me should belong to ...... You can't offend it openly!
