Chapter 169: Reading
Jiang Lingxi and Wei Minmin walked into the conference hall hand in hand.
They hadn't arrived too early or too late, and nearly half of the people had already sat at the large rectangular conference table in the hall.
The main seat is naturally Wei Xiao.
Hearing the voice of the eldest niece, he looked up and beckoned, "Come, sit here." He patted the seat next to him.
The other actors in the hall who were originally either looking at their mobile phones or flipping through the script also raised their heads when they heard the voice, wanting to see who could make the big director on the top say hello.
When I saw people, I suddenly understood.
It's just that when they saw Jiang Lingxi, who was sitting directly on the left hand side of Director Wei, a few people couldn't help but purse their lips.
Before this, they never thought that such a heavy female lead would fall on the head of Jiang Lingxi, who barely made it to the second tier in the circle.
even competed with Xu Qingmei.
But Rao couldn't believe it anymore, seeing with his own eyes that Jiang Lingxi took a photo of the heroine's makeup, and now sitting next to Director Wei, they had to convince themselves to believe it.
Before anyone arrived, Wei Xiao saw the script that Jiang Lingxi put on the table, and he could see at a glance that it had been carefully turned over in the past few days, and he was immediately relieved: "How did the script look?" ”
"Roughly read through it."
Wei Minmin just heard this when he put down his phone, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
If this is only a rough reading through, then she can only be regarded as swallowing dates when she reads this script.
"Then you should also see it, you have the most scenes and lines, more than twice as many as the male lead, try to memorize it before filming, it's probably best to memorize it."
As soon as Jiang Lingxi nodded, the arm close to Wei Minmin was touched, she turned her head to look, and saw Wei Minmin typing her in the memo on her mobile phone, "Uncle likes to take a shot to the end." ”
One shot to the end, as the name suggests, is a shot without any stuck, forgetting words, emotional actions are not in place, etc.
Among them, forgetting words is the most common, and the only way is to memorize your own lines in advance, and it is best to know the lines of the person you are playing against.
Wei Minmin thought of the terrifying amount of the heroine's lines in the script, and silently sympathized with Jiang Lingxi in her heart.
Other directors may ask for more leniency, but this will never happen to her uncle.
In a short time, the main cast was all assembled.
Actors and actresses sit across the table.
Although the tables and chairs are not marked with specific seats, everyone tacitly chooses to sit according to the seats in the play.
Only, the chair opposite Jiang Lingxi was empty.
Wei Xiao glanced at the vacant seat, then at Jiang Lingxi, who was there, and raised his hand to order the assistant on the side, "Go and close the door of the council hall." ”
As soon as this order came out, more than ninety percent of the people present were stunned.
After looking at each other for a moment, She Man asked the doubts in his heart on behalf of everyone: "This script is read, and the male lead actor won't come?" ”
"You'll be able to see you when filming officially starts, and we'll video the whole process during the script reading, and we'll show it to him when the time comes, and he'll communicate with me if he has any opinions."
She Man wanted to speak and stopped.
Why did she hear that this person was bigger than Xu Qingmei's wrist?
But looking at the famous actors in the circle, it is not for nothing that they have a higher status than Xu Qingmei, but they are basically above forty, and they are not in line with the role of Shen Moqing.
"Alright, now that we're all together, let's get started. Let's start by talking about your own role. ”
Everyone had no choice but to suppress their curiosity for the time being, sit up and clear their throats for a while, ready to speak when it was their turn.
This link not only allows the director to see how well he understands the role, but also lets the other actors present know which role they are playing.
After a lap, almost an hour passed.
Jiang Lingxi silently raised his hand.
Wei Xiao was about to say the next link, watching her movements was a meal, "Teacher Jiang, is there anything else to add?" ”
Now everyone's eyes fell on her again.
Jiang Lingxi did have a doubt, "Isn't there a green kite in the starring group?" ”
"She's in the role cast group," Wei Xiao didn't even think about replying, and saw Jiang Lingxi frowning after speaking, "Do you think the role of Qing Kite can be assigned to the starring group?" ”
"Although she is a palace maid," Jiang Lingxi looked at Shang Weixiao's eyes with a serious expression, "But in Emperor Yuan Zhao's heart, she is different from other palace maids." ”
Suddenly there was a chuckle from the council chamber.
Jiang Lingxi looked at Lin Xuefei, who was sitting in the fourth seat, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect Mr. Jiang to enter the play so quickly and substitute himself into Emperor Yuan Zhao, the division of the main actors and role actors must have been decided by Director Wei after careful consideration, could it be that the actor who plays the green kite has an old relationship with Mr. Jiang?"
"I don't know who the actor who plays the green kite is."
"Then you ......" inexplicably questioned what this is for?
However, Wei Xiao didn't let Lin Xuefei finish his words, and interrupted with a light cough, "Okay, Ling Xi's opinion is reserved for the time being, and the next thing is to sort out the script from beginning to end." As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Lingxi, who was opening the script according to his words, "Qing Kite does have a lot of scenes, and we will discuss it in detail when the script is sorted out." ”
In fact, what he didn't say was that he had actually hesitated about whether to divide the role of Qing Kite into the starring group.
But after thinking about it, Qing Kite is just a palace maid in the end, even if she is the palace maid of Emperor Yuan Zhao, but she has no hidden special identity and skills, and in the end she was assigned to the role cast group.
Jiang Lingxi was the first to ask him this question, and at the same time, he also pointed to a very critical point that he ignored, the biggest difference between this palace maid and other palace maids was her status in the heart of Emperor Yuan Zhao.
At this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.
But soon, he didn't hesitate to do so.
Because with a little bit of combing through the script word by word, it was all echoed by other actors, and when Jiang Lingxi came here, it was, "Director Wei, my opinion is ......"
When he first heard this 'mantra', Wei Xiao was very happy, not to mention that Jiang Lingxi's opinions also gave him a lot of inspiration, and he was very happy to change it.
But as time passed, Wei Xiao heard the side: "Director Wei, I have an opinion on this paragraph......"
He couldn't help but raise his head and wipe his face silently, numb, really numb.
He has deleted and changed this script several times, no matter what he says, how can he still be put forward so many opinions.
The key is these observations...... It's really according to Jiang Lingxi's changes, and it will be better than the previous one.
Others were equally silent.
In the final analysis, this process of sorting out the script, in their opinion, means that the director takes the leading actors to roughly go through the plot twists in it, and when the filming officially starts, it will be broken down in more detail.
This is the first time I have encountered an actor who has directed a script with him.
