Chapter 177
The drama "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was sponsored by Huahai Film and Television. Huahai Film and Television bought the copyright of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" as early as three years ago, but it has not been No filming has started.
The filming this time was mainly to praise Liang Yi, the new brother of Huahai. I have said before that there are many actors in the entertainment industry who have both traffic and certain acting skills.
Niu Xiang counts as one.
But when it comes to Niu Xiang, most people still count him in the traffic category. As for real actors, they also look down on him. For example, Yang Feng, when Niu Xiang is mentioned, he is extremely contemptuous.
As for Liang Yi, he is a little better than Niu Xiang. He has been acting in serious dramas since his debut. When he was 17 years old, his first drama "Why Do You Have Me", although he was the third male, he rose to prominence and gained a lot of fans.
Of course, what really made Liang Yi popular was the martial arts drama "The Nameless Thief" that he took on when he was 25 years old. In this drama, Liang Yi really took the leading role, and in the drama, Liang Yi transformed a cynical But the role of the thief who carries a blood feud is quite good.
Even now, many people say that the drama "The Nameless Thief" is the pinnacle of Liang Yi's acting skills.
That’s right.
Originally, many people thought that Liang Yi would further achieve his breakthrough with "The Nameless Thief", and indeed, Liang Yi's acting career has achieved a breakthrough.
But Liang Yi's acting skills will always remain at the age of 25.
Liang Yi is 34 years old this year. He is older than Lin Xing, but his acting skills have always been average. You can say how bad he is. He is better than popular actors. of.
But as good as you say, it’s not necessarily true.
It can only be said that Liang Yi's previous works have made him more popular among passers-by. In addition, he has never had negative news, and he often does charity and knows how to package himself.
But Liang Yi is already 34 years old after all. He wants to go further. You must know that the golden age of an actor is still very long. He has already bid farewell to idol dramas, but he is still a little bit behind the main drama.
Last year, the drama "That Little Thing in Childhood" starring Liang Yi did not have good ratings and a bad reputation. In this drama, Liang Yi played an ordinary person.
But because of his image, even if Liang Yi plays an ordinary person, he still gives the impression that he is a rich man. In the play, he plays an office worker who is estranged from his father. All this is because of an incident in his childhood. Caused by small things.
This is a period drama. Childhood, adolescence and youth are played by three people. It is a pity that Liang Yi did not have the feeling of acting.
Then Huahai Film and Television summed up their experience and lessons. They thought that since Liang Yi couldn't play an ordinary person, could we play a rich man? ?
The handsome young master of the Republic of China.
Isn’t the Republican style popular on the Internet nowadays? ?
If you want to marry, just marry a young master from the Republic of China.
In this case, Huahai Film and Television is preparing to launch the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" project.
At present, the director of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Dong Deng, the screenwriter is Xia Ying, and the leading male lead is Liang Yi.
In addition, other actors have not yet been confirmed.
"Originally, I wanted to win the heroine for Zhao Yining, because the heroine of this drama has not yet been determined, but now..."
Ding Chunling said to Lin Xing: "Although Liang Yi is the heroine of this drama, He is definitely the leading male lead, but the role of the second male lead is also outstanding. Currently, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has a lot of auditions for the second male lead, but they haven't found a suitable one yet..."
Lin At this time, Xing talked about what happened last night.
“That’s a coincidence.”
Ding Chunling smiled and said: “Ren Shuai is from Hami Film and Television, and Ren Shuai’s agent Anan has a good relationship with Dong Deng, so he If you want to star in the third male role, it’s a sure thing..."
"I'll read the script first, and we'll talk about it later."
Lin Xing roughly understood Ding Chunling's explanation.
Currently, Lin Xing only has three episodes of scripts in hand, but in addition to giving Lin Xing the script, Ding Chunling also gave Lin Xing an original book.
Lin Xing first read three episodes of the script.
“It is indeed a group drama.”
Lin Xing found that the first three episodes of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" already contained a huge amount of information. At the beginning, the Wang Puppet Regime, the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and Japan each kicked off.
There are many lines, but the pace is fast and there is no delay.
After reading the scripts of the first three episodes, Lin Xing finished reading the script of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
The original novel has a total of 180,000 words, and it was already noon when Lin Xing finished reading it.
Although the role that Lin Xing is going to play is the second male lead, he does have a lot of roles. The most important thing is that there is a lot of room for performance.
Triple identity.
No.
To be precise, it is a quadruple identity.
The first identity is his original identity, Chen's eldest son and eldest brother.
The second identity is his apparent identity, holding an important position in Wang Puppet regime.
The third identity is the head of the Magic City Intelligence Section of the military command.
The fourth identity is the person in charge of the underground party.
It can be said that this character is the most tiring person in the whole drama. He is also the most cautious and cautious person in the whole drama, and he is also the one who is most disguised.
As Ding Chunling said, although this role is the second male lead, it has a lot of potential, and it is also a focus of the whole play.
“I’ve finished reading this. I’m interested in this role.”
Lin Xing had dinner with Ding Chunling at noon. He said to Ding Chunling: "I want to know how many competitors I have now??"
"There is one, the casting director of this drama He is my best friend. He could have made the decision directly, but now something unexpected happened. Someone recommended Lu Yue to Dong Deng."
Ding Chunling sighed and said: "This Lu Yue's acting skills are very good. Yes, Chen Xuewen in the key drama is already 37 years old Now, Lu Yue is just 38 years old, and his acting skills are quite good, so Dong Deng has already regarded him as an alternative..."
Ding Chunling is afraid of putting too much pressure on Lin Xing. She also hurriedly said: "No You don’t have to be too anxious to pass Ah Xing. Apart from other things, you are quite familiar with each other in the acting industry in "Evil Child"..."
"I understand, you can arrange it and see when it happens. Go try out the show.”
Lin Xing nodded lightly: "Whether you succeed or not, you have to work hard."
Just like the original "The Power of Man", although he was replaced by a resource guy, it doesn't matter, Lin Xing What is needed is to firmly grasp the opportunity when it comes.
That’s all.
Even if Ding Chunling did not remind Lin Xing, Lin Xing would not feel that this role was already his own or that he could not compare to others.
There is a saying in the industry that it is difficult for actors to act young, because some actors have to play the role of 20-year-olds who have wrinkles on their faces and end up smoothing them out like crazy.
But it's easy for an actor to act old, as long as he can keep up with his makeup and his acting skills.
What this refers to is that your acting skills must be up to par. You must know that pretending to be an old man is not just about wearing makeup. You must have the acting skills and the energy to perform.
Fortunately, Lin Xing just needs to act like a 37-year-old, so Lin Xing is really not too worried.
After all, I am only 37 years old, not 73 years old.
“Okay, I’ll contact you right away.”
Ding Chunling's face showed joy.
This is Ding Chunling's first move as Lin Xing's agent, and she must get things done.
How else could she prove her worth? ?
As Ding Chunling said this, she was about to pick up her mobile phone and call her best friend.
“Sister Ling, you are not in such a hurry.”
Lin Xing waved his hand and said: "It's not too late to finish the meal first and then make a phone call." "That won't work. I heard what I, Ah Hao, said. Now their crew wants to book all the actors as soon as possible..."
While talking, Ding Chunling dialed the phone.
"Ah Hao, yes, our Xing wants to try this role. When can we give it a try? It's 2 o'clock this afternoon, no problem. I will rush there with Xing later..."< br>
At this time, Ding Chunling listened to Ah Hao on the other end of the phone and said: "Okay, thank you Ah Hao, I understand, don't worry, I will never embarrass you."
After saying that, Ding Chunling hung up the phone, her expression a little serious: "Axing, we will go over after dinner in a while. Have you read all the scripts?"
"Well, I have. I've finished reading it, and I've also finished reading the original work."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "Going to audition in the afternoon?"
"Well, Their crew happened to be interviewing actors together, and Director Dong was also there in the afternoon, so we happened to go over to meet..."
Ding Chunling said with a headache: "It’s hard to say what Director Dong’s character is. I heard from Ah Hao It is said that Director Dong is already interested in Lu Yue, so we have to come up with some of our own for the audition in the afternoon..."
"Let's go."
After hearing Ding Chunling's words, Lin Xingze stood up and said.
"Axing, let's rush there for one hour. It's a bit early to go here now. Do you want to take a rest first..."
Ding Chunling said quickly.
“No, I have to make a shape first.”
Lin Xing shook his head and smiled: "I must first convince the crew that I can play this role in terms of image."
Calm and calm.
This is the tag that belongs to this character.
In this case, Lin Xing has to change his appearance first. This role is not the so-called domineering president. He is a government official. Although he is within the system of the Republic of China, he still needs to change his appearance.
So, half an hour later, Lin Xing changed into a slightly more stable hairstyle, and at the same time, he changed into a dark gray suit at Ding Chunling's suggestion.
Focus on calmness.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xing arrived at the Imperial Capital Flower Hotel on time. ’
Here, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" occupied the first floor of the hotel and used it mainly for meetings and auditions.
"Sister Ling, here..."
When Lin Xing and Ding Chunling appeared, the one called Ahao waved at them.
"Male??"
Lin Xing looked at the casting director in front of him for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Got it.
Best friend.
This is also common on film sets. For some actresses, they prefer gay staff members, and many stylists, cameramen, etc. also try to make themselves less masculine.
However, the Ahao in front of him seems to be quite normal now.
"Hello, Teacher Lin, hello, I really like your character Zhou Bo..."
After seeing Lin Xing, Ahao smiled and said: "My sister Ling is a A good person and very capable, I believe she can Enough to bring you better resources..."
"Yes, I believe it too"
Lin Xing smiled and nodded and said: "Brother Hao, just call me A Xing. , I don’t dare to be called teacher.”
"Hahaha, okay, let's go up, Director Dong is already waiting."
A Hao obviously likes Lin Xing in front of him.
The love here is pure appreciation.
You must know that Ahao has been in contact with Zhao Yining before, and Zhao Yining is completely a person who does not know how to respect the bottom at all, and does not even treat his staff as human beings.
Only Ding Chunling is willing to take Zhao Yining and even praise her. Ah Hao has suggested Ding Chunling several times. Zhao Yining is obviously a white-eyed wolf.
It's a pity that Ding Chunling didn't listen to him.
“This Lin Xing is good.”
When Ah Hao heard that Ding Chunling was going to take Lin Xing, Ah Hao also agreed.
The truth is, it’s very simple. This circle is actually very small.
Whether it is the casting director, assistant director, executive director or any other director, everyone has a circle.
Everyone who has worked with Lin Xing before praised Lin Xing.
This proves that Lin Xing is indeed good.
As an actor, he may be able to pretend in front of the stage, but he often doesn’t pretend well off the stage. Character is reflected in the details. At least since "Just Waiting for You", no one has worked with Lin Xing. One said that Lin Xing’s character was not good.
"Sister Ling, please go to the reception room over there and take a rest first..."
Arrived at this floor of the hotel, Ah Hao asked Ding Chunling to take a rest in the reception room next door. Then he took Lin Xing to meet Dong Deng.
Strictly speaking, this is Lin Xing's third audition.
"Just Waiting for You" Lin Xing played the role of Du Fei without auditioning. This is because Du Fei's role does not have many roles, and Lin Xing is outstanding and almost does not need to audition.
Lin Xing auditioned for the role in "The Big Brother", and he even successfully won the role by relying on his high-profile audition.
Besides, whether it was "Portrait of a Murderer" or "Bad Kid", Lin Xing did not audition for the role, because he acted in these two online dramas to help them promote themselves.
Then Lin Xing auditioned for the role in "The Power of Man". He also did a lot of homework, but it was of no use because he was doomed to fail from the beginning.
The crew wanted to sneak out to Lin Xing.
In the past few days, even Niu Xiang’s fans on Weibo are still belittling Lin Xing. After all, no matter from which aspect, Lin Xing failed in his audition.
Loser is not qualified to defend, because if you defend, it means you cannot afford to lose.
This is Lin Xing’s second audition this year, and his third audition this year.
“Director Dong, Lin Xing is here.”
Lin Xing didn't go in first because Dong Deng was still auditioning other actors. Ah Hao went in first to talk to Dong Deng.
Dong Deng asked: "How do you feel???"
"Director Dong, I still say the same thing, I think there is really no problem with Lin Xing, his acting skills are good, and Although he is a few years younger than the character, I think he is fully qualified..."
Ahao said several words for Lin Xing in one breath.
Dong Deng suddenly laughed: "Did you take money from Lin Xing? Do you speak for him like this??"
