Chapter 151 Protagonist and Supporting Role
Late at night, in the hotel, in the room of director Li Huizhu.
With the two fingers pointed out by Chen Shisan and the two words spoken... the protagonist.
The room returned to calm and fell into a long silence.
After a long time, Li Huizhu slowly spoke.
"Is his ambition really that big?"
"How can someone with a modest ambition succeed in our industry?" Chen Shisan asked.
"Well..." Director Li had to agree with his friend's statement.
“And he is not like those young actors who become arrogant when they succeed. Those people will rely on their background to do whatever they want on the set and meddle in the content of the script at will.”
“The purpose of modifying the script is, It’s just for personal gain, which will of course make the rest of the crew disgusted.”
"But he is different." Chen Shisan took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes.
I was excited just now, but now that I have calmed down, I feel sleepy and tired, but there are countless thoughts in my mind, but I can't fall asleep.
“Everything he does, from an overall perspective, is beneficial to the crew.”
“Even if he is asked to modify the script, he is not the only one who will benefit.”
“According to the ideas he provided, it will indeed make our TV series more exciting.”
"At the same time, in addition to him, Wu Jing, Xuan Xuan, Shen Xiaohai... the other main supporting roles will also increase their roles."
Chen Shisan knew in his heart that this boy was definitely prepared. !
“But if someone’s role increases, someone’s role will decrease.” Li Huizhu looked confused.
"Yes, the reduced part...Xu Xiyuan is better, mainly due to Xiaodong."
There was another silence, neither of them knew how to speak.
"Okay, let me make the arrangements." In the end, it was Director Li who expressed his attitude.
“He helped solve scenes before filming started, but now when the crew encounters blackmail, he not only helps with ideas, but also gets the money back.”
“I think he can be of great use. This brain will definitely make a big difference in the future.”
“If you have a chance, help him now, maybe he will help us in the future.”
Chen Shisan nodded in agreement.
"Let's do this. You and I will gather all the main members of the crew together during the lunch break tomorrow, and we will discuss it together..."
The next day, noon.
Like Director Li's plan, including the two protagonists, Zhang Yuan, Xuan Xuan, Wu Jing, Shen Xiaohai, Yuan Hua, Tianniu, Zhu Yan and other main actors, all the dramas are displayed on a large screen at the table.
Chen Shisan had dark circles under his eyes and yawned profusely as he handed stacks of A4 papers to everyone present.
"Director Li and I discussed it last night and have some new opinions on the script. This is the new script outline. Please take a look and express your opinions."
Zhang Yuan remained calm, but secretly praised in his heart.
"Chen Shisan is interesting enough. He only mentioned him and Director Li, but not the fact that I revised the script together."
Don't forget to mention one less person's name, but the meaning is completely different. Don't.
Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan, one is the director and the other is the screenwriter and assistant director. Of course, they have the right to modify the script.
Zhang Yuan was not mentioned, that is, the director wanted to change the script. They were both responsible for this. The actor was disgusted, but it was hard to say anything.
But if you take Zhang Yuan with you, you will tell the other actors directly that he wants to change the script, and implicitly put all the blame on him, and he will bear the responsibility.
With different responsible parties, the actors’ reactions will naturally be different.
Beside the table, the sound of paper being turned was endless.
Zhang Yuan also pretended to pick up the simple script and started reading it.
Li Huizhu glanced at him and suppressed her smile.
"My acting skills are better now than when I was acting."
Ten minutes later.
Wu Jing was the first to speak: "I think the changes in this version are very good!"
Apart from Zhang Yuan, he benefited the most. As long as there is no bag on the head, he will definitely recommend it.
Hong Kong girl Xuan Xuan is quite intelligent. She looked around calmly: "I think both versions are fine."
Shen Xiaohai also echoed that his opinions were similar to Xuan Xuan's and they were ambiguous.
Both veteran actors Yuan Hua and Tian Niu have been in the film and television industry for many years. They glanced at each other after flipping through the pages, and then at the same time looked at the man sitting not far away. Zhang Yuan.
"Huh."
"Yeah."
Although they didn't speak, the two of them already knew that this matter had something to do with the active boy.
The script changes had little impact on their roles, less than 10%. Logically speaking, it would be best for them to practice Tai Chi like Xuan Xuan and Shen Xiaohai.
But Yuan Hua smiled and spoke.
"From my experience, this version is better than the previous one, with richer content and more in-depth characters."
Yuan Hua is obviously speaking for him, and the reason is It's also very simple.
In the previous scenes and the competition with Wu Jing, Yuan Hua confirmed that Zhang Yuan has real kung fu!
Nowadays, how many new martial arts newcomers are left in the film and television industry?
It’s really one of the few!
In the eyes of this veteran star, Zhang Yuan, like Wu Jing, was classified as a junior who needed to be taken care of.
If Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan’s selfish intention is to make friends who may become big things in the film and television industry in the future.
Na Yuan Hua’s selfish intention is to have one more star to give kung fu movies an extra inch of life.
Tianniu echoed Yuan Hua's opinion.
She is not a star.
However, her ancestral home is in Shanghai, and her father is a Peking Opera pianist, so she has been quite familiar with the art since she was a child.
These days, when I observe Zhang Yuan’s steps on the set when he performs, I can vaguely see a bit of opera background, and I feel close to him in my heart.
Zhu Yan, who plays the Queen Mother Yinyue, didn't hesitate. After discovering that this version of the script was beneficial to Zhang Yuan, she immediately agreed.
"I think it's good too." Zhang Yuan replied with an implicit smile.
Of course, things can't be smooth sailing.
“I object!”
After everyone else expressed their opinions, one person raised his eyebrows and raised his hands to vote.
Of course it’s the male lead, Chen Xiaodong.
He already had big eyes, but after reading this revised script outline, his eyes widened even more.
Zhang Yuan even wanted to put a basin under his chin... so that he could catch his eyeballs after they fell out, so that they would not be stained with mud on the ground.
After reading these pages, Chen Xiaodong had only one feeling.
Good guy!
I am a substitute!
The Seventh Generation of Complainants was changed to Qiye and Xiaoqian?
Ning Caichen: Shall I leave?
Looking horizontally and vertically, Chen Xiaodong could only comment on his character in two words, which was superfluous.
Who is the protagonist and who is the male lead!
If we change it like this, I, Ning Caichen, will have less roles than Qiye, but at best I will be on par.
The original single male protagonist was changed to two male protagonists, and I suffered a huge loss!
Yes, this film about Yang Dengkui is mainly to praise Xu Xiyuan, the "goddaughter".
But I am also a male.
My popularity on both sides of the Taiwan Strait must be higher than that of Zhang Yuan.
Of course he was not convinced.
Chen Xiaodong is not stupid. When filming according to this changed script, he is the biggest loser.
"I object too." As soon as he finished speaking, our vixen heroine also raised her arms delicately... She is indeed a vixen in the play.
The impact of Xu Xiyuan's role was not as great as that of Chen Xiaodong, and it was still within the acceptable range.
But she was angry when she saw Zhang Yuan!
I am willing to play with you, but you don’t know how to flatter me...
The current situation has become that except for the male and female protagonists, no matter whether they agree or not, at least they do not object to it.
But the number one male and female are appointed by investors, and they have a strong say.
Seeing this, Li Huizhu whispered to Chen Xiaodong.
"Xiaodong, since you came to Dali, your physical condition has not been very good. You have been suffering from altitude sickness symptoms, and you rely on medicine to cope with it. Zhang Yuan also helps you with massages from time to time, right?"< br>
"Uh...yes." When Director Li said this, his attitude immediately softened.
It is a fact that he is not in good health, and it is also a fact that Zhang Yuan often helps him.
"But I can persist." Soon, he replied firmly.
Obviously, even if there is mercy, he does not want to give in.
Seeing that the atmosphere was at a deadlock, Chen Shisan, who had panda eyes, opened his mouth to adjust: "Let's think about it for a few more days. Anyway, the changes will not affect the current shooting."
"Dismissed, let's take a lunch break first."
Everyone got up and left.
"Brother Xiaodong..." Zhang Yuan thought and stepped forward to explain to Chen Xiaodong.
But he came forward with a smile, but Chen Xiaodong just nodded lightly and walked away quickly, his attitude much colder than usual.
“The reaction was really intense.”
Zhang Yuan expected this result.
I also know that this move may offend people.
But if you want to compete for the upper reaches, how can you not offend others?
He must do this for his own benefit.
“We have to find a chance to talk to him alone.”
Zhang Yuan planned to "no injections, no medicine, just sit there and chat with you" and use conversation to solve the problem.
As for the other opponent, Xu Xiyuan, this one is actually easy to deal with.
No need to nag, just "injection" is enough.
It’s just that Zhang Yuan is really not interested in her.
Although it was the same even if the lights were turned off, Zhang Yuan really didn’t want to get involved in this marriage after learning about this descendant’s series of tricks.
"Let's get rid of Chen Xiaodong first."
I made up my mind and continued with the work.
It was time to call it a day at night. After Zhang Yuan took off his costume, he walked towards Chen Xiaodong, who was wearing a scholar's uniform.
"Brother Dong, I see that you don't look very good after working the night shift. Do you want me to give you a few massages?"
He wanted to use massage to open up the topic.
"Well, well, I see..."
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaodong was holding his mobile phone and seemed to be talking to someone.
With a serious and nervous expression, he just passed by in a hurry and ignored him at all.
"Haha, you are so deflated!" Wu Jing jumped out of nowhere, hooking his shoulder and taunting him.
"Tell me the truth, did you instigate the two directors to rewrite the script?"
"What does instigation mean?" Zhang Yuan gave him a disgusted look: "This means aligning the granularity with the director and screenwriter, opening up the underlying logic of the story, and making the script a perfect closed loop."
Wu Jing's mind was spinning after hearing this. It was messy and shook hard.
"According to the new script, your role will be increased a lot, and your salary will be increased a lot." Zhang Yuan also reached out and put his arm around his shoulder. The two brothers were very close.
"I can't add it. I signed a package contract. As long as the time limit is not exceeded, there will be no additional salary." Wu Jing replied with a bitter face, then he was stunned, looked at Zhang Yuan and said.
“Didn’t you sign a packaging contract?”
"What I signed is that I will be paid based on the number of episodes." Zhang Yuanxie said with a smile.
“Fuck, you wouldn’t have thought this day would come long ago!” Wu was so angry that he clenched his fists.
According to this new script, his salary will have to be increased by at least 40%!
Wu Jing suddenly felt that compared to Zhang Yuan, his brain might be made of tofu brain.
People had already planned various ways to make money before joining the set, but I stupidly pointed at the salary in the contract to eat, which was pretty cool.
"Huh!" But Wu Jing quickly came to his senses and said angrily.
“But if Chen Xiaodong doesn’t let go, you won’t be able to add to the drama.”
“Yes.” Zhang Yuan was also worried.
Seeing Zhang Yuan's solemn expression, Wu Jing was even happier than he would have been if he had been paid more.
I’ll make you so angry, kid, that I’ll make you suffer!
Wu Jingxin said that every time he succeeds, I can hardly stand it anymore.
What will you do this time?
You can't put a knife to Chen Xiaodong's neck and force him to agree.
If you are not afraid of your brothers suffering, you are afraid of your brothers driving a Land Rover.
Wu Jing saw that he was worried and had fun...
The next day, morning.
The crew was in a state of panic.
As soon as Zhang Yuan arrived at the scene, he found that the crew was not as quiet and orderly as usual, but it was a mess.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Yuanyuan, Li Huizhu and Chen Shisan were all talking on the phone impatiently, and it was difficult to come forward to ask.
Wu Jing, who had just changed into costume, was not far away, so he took out a handful of melon seeds and came forward to chat.
No matter how anxious others are, he is not in a hurry anyway.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Wu Jing took the soy sauce melon seeds from him and said while eating them.
“Something happened, bah, I think the crew wants to, bah, stop work.”
"It's so serious, what happened?"
Zhang Yuan asked curiously, could it be that he was blackmailed like before when he rented a horse?
“This time it has nothing to do with outsiders, there is a problem within the crew.”
“What do you mean?”
“The person is lost!”
"Who?"
Wu Jing grabbed another handful from his hand and felt a little worried: "The vixen is still there, but the scholar is lost."
Brother Jing said eloquently.
In general, what is happening now is...
Chen Xiaodong is missing!
The last people who saw him were probably Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing last night, and there was no news from them after that.
It wasn’t until this morning that the crew couldn’t contact him and they discovered that this guy was missing.
The whereabouts have not yet been confirmed.
“I heard that he didn’t go back to the room last night, his luggage was all there, and the assistant assigned by the company didn’t know where he went?”
The male lead was nowhere to be seen, and the crew was still filming a mess. .
Zhang Yuan's heart trembled.
There are still many wilderness areas in Dali today.
You won’t regret it for eternity if you make one mistake!
How about letting the blind bear touch it?
If Chen Xiaodong’s life is really in danger, then the crew will most likely be in trouble!
This is not a good thing for him.
"And I just wanted to squeeze him out of the scene. We met last night, but now they are gone."
"Don't talk about the police, I even doubt whether I did it. "
"It's so damn logical."
"In "Conan", I should have started describing my tragic life experience and confessing the details of the crime."
He was not worried at all just now, but now he was panicking.
"Hey, where are you, tell me!"
He was frightened at this point, when there was good news and bad news from the other end.
The good news is that after all the hard work, Li Huizhu finally contacted our "Japanese ghost scholar".
The bad news is that this person is in the imperial capital at the moment...
