Chapter 271 Jiang Wu, please fight me
Chen Linfeng mainly makes localized adaptations to be more in line with China's national conditions.
He was born in 1988. The era when he was more conscious and able to run around was from the 1990s.
Due to his special memory ability, Chen Linfeng has a profound memory of that time in the past.
I can almost draw some scenes and pictures at will.
Therefore, Chen Linfeng requires that all Fu Hua Dao preparations must be reviewed by him before they can be officially used.
In fact, as a drama that is essentially a youth memory drama, it is very important to be able to reflect the atmosphere of the times through the setting and costumes.
There are not many parts of the outfield, and Kong Sheng chooses the scenes.
The infield, which is the home where the protagonists live, is the main shooting location.
When Chen Linfeng wrote the script at the beginning of the year, he asked Chen Shantong to build it as the focus of the new phase of the Pingshi project.
These can be used as tourist destinations in the future and opened to tourists, all for a small amount of money.
As for the actors, since the play is a typical group drama, the number of shots for each main character is not much different.
Chen Linfeng has no intention of playing the leading role, and Liu Qianqian is not the heroine, but plays the heroine's sister.
After discussing with Kong Sheng, we finally decided on a few roles.
Shu Chang plays the heroine Li Jingshu (Cheng Deshan), Liu Qianqian plays Jingshu's sister Li Wenzhu (Cheng Baola), and the younger brother of the family is to be determined.
Shi Xiaolong plays the male lead Chen Huilong (Kim Jung-hwan), whose brother is yet to be determined.
Chen Linfeng plays Zhang Jingyu (Cheng Shanyu).
Guo Da has been invited to play Chen Huilong's father before.
Fan Wei is also planned to be invited to play the father of the two sisters Jingshu and Wenzhu.
For the remaining actors, we will first make a small reference to the actors we have worked with in the past. If there are not enough people, we will hold auditions.
Chen Linfeng will temporarily leave this work to Kong Sheng for the preliminary selection and subsequent invitations.
In the following time, Chen Linfeng began to write his next book.
This is the last book of "Infinite World".
Because the next TV series and movie are probably being filmed immediately, there is basically no free time, so I can only catch up on the plot in advance.
At this time, on October 27, the Golden Horse Awards announced the list of shortlisted films.
Chen Linfeng's "Breaking Drummer" was shortlisted for 8 awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Cinematography, etc.
In this era, the Golden Horse Awards can be regarded as the most high-profile and valuable film awards in China.
Compared with the Academy Awards, the food appearance is slightly better, and it is open to the entire Chinese-speaking community, so there are more bonuses.
In those years, there was a faint tendency to win the highest award in China Entertainment, until 2016, it fell into the ground.
As for now, for Chen Linfeng, it does not mean much for him to participate in the Golden Horse Award after winning the Golden Lion Award.
But his goal is too big now.
In Han Shanping's words, "All domestic filmmakers are looking at you. If you don't sign up or participate, the impact will not be good, and it will cause misunderstandings above."
Most The key is not to block the progress of other people in the crew.
For example, the awards shortlisted this time include best film, director, actor, and screenplay related to Chen Linfeng.
The other four awards for supporting actor, photography, art, and music are very coveted by the crew.
Chen Linfeng understood their desire to win prizes, so he did not do anything extra and just followed the usual routine.
……
Yanjing, a residence somewhere.
Jiang Wen went out to welcome Chen Linfeng as his guest.
"I rarely see you go out. No matter how I call you, I never see you go out. Why do you suddenly think of you, Brother Jiang, today?"
"I'm here to chat with Brother Jiang, and I have something else to do."
Jiang Wen invited Xiao Chen into his home, and Zhou Yun quickly offered him tea.
“Thank you, sister-in-law.”
“You’re welcome, Xiao Chen, you are a distinguished guest.”
Jiang Wen took out the cigarette case and was about to smoke when he suddenly remembered something. said.
"By the way, you don't smoke, right?"
"Well, I'm not used to this."
"Then I won't smoke either."
Jiang Wen Jiang smokes Throwing it aside, he asked, "You said you have something to do with me, what is it specifically?
It can't be about "Let the Bullets Fly". I'm still thinking about this film. I'll leave the filming. It will take a while.”
Chen Linfeng waved his hand, "It's not your film, it's my film."
"Want me to act, are you sure?"
Jiang Wen's eyes lit up, this is interesting.
"How is it possible to get you into the group and then you will make the decision and I will make the decision?" Chen Linfeng rolled his eyes at the other party.
Zhou Yun couldn't help but laugh, "It seems everyone knows your style."
Jiang Wen was not embarrassed at all, "Those directors themselves are not good enough and cannot argue with me, so they say that I am a mess. For the sake of art, how can I be called a stir?"
He said to Chen Linfeng with a smile, "Little Chen, you are different. You have enough skills and a high status, so you are definitely not afraid of this."
Chen Linfeng sneered, "I don't want to find fault on my own. Besides, you are not suitable. I am looking for your brother Jiang Wu. "
"Hey, I mean, that's a good thing. Then you can have dinner at home at noon. I'll call my brother over and we'll talk together then. ""Okay, that's fine."
Afterwards, Zhou Yun cooked.
Jiang Wu rushed over quickly.
“Brother, Director Xiao Chen, what’s wrong with me?”
“You’re here just in time,” Jiang Wen asked his brother to sit down, “Director Xiao Chen wants you to play a role, you’re mysterious. It’s a secret, and he didn’t even tell me if I asked him.”
Although Jiang Wu looks like a tall man, he is actually quite calm inside.
On the contrary, Jiang Wen was carefree and typical of a northern man.
The so-called Jiang Wen is not civilized, Jiang Wu is not Wu, that's it.
When Jiang Wu heard the good news, he was happy in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face. He only smiled slightly and looked at Chen Linfeng.
"Director Xiao Chen came to me and just said it. I have no objection."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand, "It's not that simple. I have to ask for your opinion."
He asked solemnly, "Gain weight to 85-90 kilograms, and then under the guidance of a fitness coach and a boxing coach, you can clearly develop the upper arm muscles and have a certain boxing foundation. It will take at least 4-6 months." Months, can you accept it?”
Before Jiang Wu could speak, Jiang Wen spoke first.
“Hey, wait, your request is quite detailed. Can you tell me what character it is?”
This is a reasonable request. People must know the character setting and important details. degree.
Chen Linfeng explained, "What I am going to shoot next is an action movie about police and gangsters. You will be playing the role of the male police officer in the drama. He is the absolute protagonist. The perspective is from him. .
If the development goes well, it may be the protagonist of the series. At least in my story setting, there are follow-up plans.
As for the character, it allows you to exercise and gain weight, mainly because this is a more realistic action movie. It does not have too many fancy moves, but highlights a strong and powerful character.
This protagonist is the representative of force value in the play. A slap can knock someone out, and a punch will basically have no follow-up. Few people can resist it.
In order to enhance the credibility of his force value, the protagonist needs to be a real strong man. Visually, the audience will feel that he is strong at first sight. "
Chen Linfeng said while making gestures.
In fact, at first, he considered Sammo Hung. His body shape was a bit like that, but he was too short, only 1.72 meters tall, so he was still not convincing enough.
Not as good as Jiang Wu, who is 1.8 meters tall, so Chen Linfeng looked here first.
After Jiang Wen heard the setting, he didn’t say anything else. This role is something that most people need to fight for. It’s a good thing that he can find his younger brother first.
Jiang Wu is an old-school actor. In order to gain weight for a role, he has gone through it several times, not to mention the routine.
This is a completely natural attitude, let alone the protagonist, it is even more speechless.
He immediately stated, "No problem, I will start eating and practicing at the same time. After that, every month, I will let the director take a look at my results."
"It's time to eat, let's serve the table first." At this time Zhou Yun shouted.
During the meal, Jiang Wen asked tentatively.
"Recently, several of my friends have said that they would like to invite you to sit down more often. We can all hold a welcome ceremony. Do you have this intention?"
Chen Linfeng knows what he is talking about. I mean, he declined politely.
"I really don't have time. Now I'm working on the manuscript at home every day. I'll go to the Golden Horse Awards in a while, and then I'll go to Los Angeles to attend the premiere. The schedule is not until the end of next year."
Jiang Wen didn't say anything else. It's normal to bring people into the circle. If you agree, you have to set a time and make time to meet.
This is a direct no, which has already stated the attitude.
He didn't think there was anything surprising.
The Beijing circle sounds very glamorous, but there are no really capable big shots outside the circle who are willing to make a living in other people’s circles.
Zhang Yimou and Zhao Benshan are both examples. Now that the Northwest and Northeast circles are not very active, these two have no intention of changing their families.
Xiao Chen always seems to have a modest temperament, and does not easily get into conflicts with others. He also behaves well in talking to some seniors.
But it seems that he also wants to start his own business.
Chen Linfeng pointed out, "I am not short of money or channels to make movies now. If I want to find actors, they are basically willing to support me. For the time being, I am quite satisfied."
Jiang Wen smiled and said, "That's right. It's okay not to get involved in these things. It won't affect our friendship anyway."
"That's how we deal with it. It doesn't mean that we can't talk or do anything until we get it."
Zhou Yun poured wine and refills for the two of them at the right time, and this matter was over. .
After returning home, Kong Sheng came to visit again. During this time, he also contacted some actors and initially selected candidates for other roles.
Mainly the roles of parents in several dramas. In addition to Fan Wei and Guo Da, Zhang Guoli and Jiang Wenli, the partners in "Golden Wedding", as well as Song Dandan and Sa Liona were cast.
In it, Saina is an actress he worked with in "Crossing Guandong", and the other actors chosen by Kong Sheng are relatively well-known actors in the industry who are famous for their family dramas.
The original intention was just to cooperate with Xiao Chen and I wanted to choose the best one to try.
Who knew, once the invitation was sent out, those people heard that it was Xiao Chen’s script and agreed without saying a word.
Kong Sheng couldn't help but sigh, it has to be Xiao Chen. In terms of casting alone, he has too many chances of winning.
As for the remaining young characters, Kong Sheng left it to director Xiao Chen to make the decision himself.
This kind of role can either be used as a favor or to train new people. Kong Sheng will not make his own decisions.
He is very self-aware, and it would be good if he can initially establish a foothold. If he shouldn't reach out, it's better to stay out of trouble.
Chen Linfeng actually had a headache. He didn't want to waste his brain, so he pushed it to Kong Sheng, but he pushed it back again.
You can give your opinions on several other characters. They mainly include the heroine’s younger brother, the male protagonist’s brother (the actor who looks very much like Uzi), and the chess player that the original heroine likes (you can replace it with other characters here). Sports type), the original character named Liu (positioning as a bad friend).
