Chapter 292: Casting
He was hospitalized.
Today, Jiang Xun went to the hospital to see him, and happened to meet Pu Cunxi, so he was pulled to his home by Pu Cunxi.
It's been a long time since I've drunk Wanping's sister-in-law's beef soup, and Jiang Xun really misses it.
"Give Yang Zhe a pager, come to the house together, and see if she has time?" Pu Cunxi rode on the bicycle and instructed Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun contacted Yang Zhe, and drove Dafa to pick her up, and the two bought some fruit and snacks for children, and came to the Kongzheng Repertory Troupe.
At this time, Brother Pu's family still lived in the bungalow of the Kongzheng Drama Troupe, in the corner of the compound, it was the family ancestral hall of the seventh aunt of Cao Rulin, the chief of transportation of the Republic of China.
The car of the two drove in, and they met Wanping's sister-in-law drying the quilt, and many people were worried about this wire, and it was too late to catch it.
"Yang Zhe is here,...... The food and wine are ready, I'll be waiting for you......" Seeing Yang Zhe, Wanping's sister-in-law smiled from ear to ear.
If there is a relationship between Teacher Su Min, Jiang Xun and Pu Cunxi get along like brothers, and Wanping's sister-in-law and Yang Zhe are both from the song and dance troupe, and they also have a common language.
Both of them are dancers, one is the air politics, the other is the sea politics, the affairs of the troupe, the affairs of the art world, the affairs of women, and the two have endless things to say.
"Dancers and our drama actors are different in personality, they can ,...... crazy" and Brother Pu sat in a simple hut, and Brother Pu opened the thermos bucket, which contained draft beer he brought from the street.
Draft beer from the insulated barrel, four cold dishes, plus a potato and ham salad, as well as a roast chicken and a cake, this dish is a combination of Chinese and Western!
"The director talked about you a few days ago." The two men drank a glass of draft beer, and the topic was inseparable from drama again.
The big guide in Pu Cunxi's mouth refers to Vice President Lin Zhaohua.
In the hot summer of 1990, Lin Zhaohua set up his first personal drama studio under his own name, and the first play he chose was Hamlet.
Pu Cunxi is obsessed with the role of Hamlet.
"At that time, it was nine years ago, nineteen years," Brother Pu took the cake handed over by Yang Zhe, "Our Kongzheng Drama Troupe performed in Shanghai, and watched the prince's revenge dubbed by Mr. Sun Daolin at the Daguang Cinema, which is the Hamlet of the play.
The movie starring the famous British actor Lawrence Oliver, and his former wife is the film actor Vivien Leigh, that is, the heroine of the movie.
I was very pessimistic at the time, I am also an actor, and I can't play him in this life, so why do I want to, I didn't expect the opportunity to play this role nine years later......"
"Brother, in my heart, you are the best Hamlet in China." This sentence is Jiang Xun's sincere words.
But as soon as he said this, Pu Cunxi glanced at him, "I'll pass on a message, if you are a teacher, he will let you take it personally, you are an actor, not a star, your profession is drama, not singing, you will be the best actor in China in the future......"
Oh, Jiang Xun blushed, "Brother Pu, I remember the words, this goal is too far away." ”
Pu Cunxi waved his hand, "Also, Yu Yuan also told me that the young actor he admires the most is you, you can't waste yourself, well, I have already told the director, look at this play, give you a role." ”
Jiang Xun looked at Yang Zhe, which drama actor didn't want to play Hamlet, he poured himself and Pu Cunxi full of wine, and as soon as the cup was raised, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Who else did you invite?" Wanping's sister-in-law was also puzzled.
"No, whoever please, we have to wait for someone to sit down before we can eat......" Pu Cunxi stood up and opened the door, where a middle-aged man was standing at the door.
"You are ......" Pu Cunxi looked familiar, but he really couldn't name it.
"My name is Li Fazeng, we are from CCTV, you are Pu Cunxi, the ...... of human art"
The other party was very enthusiastic, seeing that he could call his name and say his unit, Pu Cunxi hurriedly let the three of them into the house.
The room was very narrow, Jiang Xun and Yang Zhe quickly stood up, and Wanping's sister-in-law took a few more stools, although she didn't know what to do, but since she was a guest, she had to be entertained.
"This is ......" When the visitor saw Jiang Xun and Yang Zhe, his eyes suddenly lit up, such a handsome young man, such a beautiful girl, it is really rare, even if he has just visited so many literary and artistic units, there may not be such a right person.
"My younger brother, who went to school in Chinese opera, is also an actor in our art." Pu Cunxi introduced with a smile, "This is my lover, the Kongzheng Song and Dance Troupe, this is my brother's girlfriend, and the ...... of the Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe."
Oh, this is a family party, and the person who came immediately smiled, "Xiaopu, I'm sorry to disturb you eating, so I'll briefly talk about our intentions ......"
"You have a beer first, it's hot." Wanping's sister-in-law and Yang Zhe poured beer, the other took soda, and there was a female comrade who was looking at Jiang Xun.
"Oh, I remember, you are Teacher Li Fazeng, who played Zhuge Liang...... Pu Cunxi's face suddenly became surprised, "As soon as you say CCTV, I really don't dare to admit it." ”
Li Fazeng, Zhuge Liang?
Jiang Xun didn't know which string had been connected to a piece in his mind, could it be that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms had begun casting?
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms crew has been established since the end of last year, and the nominal staff is the chief director Wang Fulin, excluding the chief producer Ren Dahui and the script coordinator Dai Linfeng.
By the summer of today, a more complete and formal Romance of the Three Kingdoms crew was established, including the six screenwriters who had just joined, as well as costume designer Zhao Qingxia, art designer Lao Baoliang and others.
In August, the script writing meeting was held and the screenwriting team was formed.
The crew reached a consensus to fully respect the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and at the same time refer to the valuable historical materials in "Three Kingdoms", and adapt the 120 chapters into an 80-episode script.
In fact, the screenwriters of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were stationed at the same time as the main creative staff, and from mid-August, the selection of actors also began.
Under the leadership of Wang Xiaoying, the production coordinator of the crew, Li Fazeng, Gu Fengli and others visited Beiying, Factory, Beijing Renyi, Qingyi, Children's Art, General Political Department, Air Administration and other units, and after visiting more than 300 actors, the first batch of 78 candidate actors was preliminarily determined......
The back is the video tape observation, the chief director Wang Fulin set a principle, and other roles are fine, but Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu must be unanimously approved by him and the five directors, if one of them can't pass, then the actor can't pass.
Director Wang Fulin attaches great importance to the two actors Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, these two roles, he not only chooses and watches these two roles in person, but also talks about them in person......
Oh, today, Li Fazeng, Zhuge Liang, is here to choose Zhuge Liang?
It's true, Li Fazeng invited Pu Cunxi to play Zhuge Liang.
"I'm a drama actor, and I don't have any experience in TV dramas, so I don't know if it's suitable." Pu Cunxi is very modest.
"Try on makeup, try it on, and then talk about it." Li Fazeng didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, and Wang Fulin was very optimistic about this most famous new-generation actor in Renyi.
In fact, CCTV's TV series, whether it is Journey to the West or the last emperor, selects the most actors from Renyi, because the actors of Renyi are the most guaranteed in terms of character and acting skills.
It's a good thing to star in TV series, and Pu Cunxi also wants to make money.
Because Wanping's sister-in-law's waist once hurt badly because of moisture, Brother Pu took her to the hospital when she was sick, and he made up his mind while pedaling at that time, filming, earning money, and buying a house!
But I don't know how much this drama can give.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, Wanping's sister-in-law and Yang Zhe went out to add a few more dishes, Li Fazeng really drank a few beers here, he said to Jiang Xun, "Young man, you are very handsome, I have written you down to see which role is suitable, and we will contact you when the time comes." ”
