Sugar Man Film and Television, in Cai Yinong’s office.
As for the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the male and female protagonists have almost been decided.
But for such a film, which was considered a "big production" at the time, there were more than a few characters.
Easy to say, there must be dozens of important roles with lines alone.
Even if the scope is narrowed down, there are more than a dozen characters who have left the country as the main characters.
Therefore, it is understandable that there will be some minor problems when it comes to characters and actors.
Just like now.
"Including you, Liu Qianqian, An Yixuan, Liu Pinyan and Zeng Zhiqiao, the two little sisters can all decide on the roles."
"For the remaining supporting roles, there are also several regular collaborators in our company Our own people."
"Like Sun Li, Yang Mingna, Wang Lujiang..."
When Zhang Yuan heard about Sun Li and Yang Mingna, the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably.
Needless to say, Sun Li is the same style as Boss Cai’s first-generation Pinxixi.
But in fact, among the first-generation actresses of Sugar Man, apart from Sun Li, Yang Mingna also appeared in almost all of Sugar Man's works, but mostly in supporting roles.
Sun Li's appearance is gentler and more beautiful, while Yang Mingna is more charming and charming. Their appearance styles are slightly different.
Because of her appearance, Yang Mingna always plays the role of a fairy.
The vixen in "Sword and Fairy" is the mother of Su Mei, the second-generation protagonist in the game.
The Clam Spirit in "Legend of Heaven and Earth".
The Magnolia in "Liao Zhai"...
But apart from the charming temperament in her appearance, this person's eyebrows and face shape are actually somewhat similar to Cai Yinong.
So, Boss Cai is famous for her casting, but her casting standards have always been the same...
These ladies rely solely on the imagination of their female artists to imagine different lives.
You said she was weird and a little cute.
Compared with most acting company bosses who choose actors to satisfy their primitive desires, Boss Cai is considered a pure love god of war.
It’s just that she has always loved herself.
"How about the rest of the casting work?" Zhang Yuan asked while drinking tea.
"Most of them are okay, but one of them is more troublesome." At this point, Boss Cai sighed.
"I'm very fond of him, but he was not happy and declined three or four times."
"Who is it?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously: "Sugar Man Film and Television is so big The company, Boss Cai deigned to ask but didn’t come. It’s such a grand ceremony.”
Cai Yinong smiled happily when she heard him praise herself and the company.
“Don’t we have a big villain in our movie called the Moon Worshiper?”
"Director Li and I discussed and adapted this role, and then I fell in love with Teacher Xu Jingjiang and wanted him to play the role."
"You also know that Teacher Xu is a great villain."
“No matter how popular he is with the audience, everyone is happy to watch him.”
Zhang Yuan nodded, this is indeed true.
Xu Jingjiang's acting skills are actually only average among the superstars in Hong Kong, not the best, but this person's personal charm is really invincible, and he is the kind of person who can recruit people wherever he goes. Innate Holy Body.
Think about it, the most impressive character in "Nine Levels of Sesame Official" over the past many years, besides Chang Wei, is the "I want it all" leopard-headed Lei Bao.
That look looks like Santa Claus, I will never forget it.
What's more, in addition to "I want it all", this character also has another wise saying for men...
"If you don't pay, it's not considered prostitution."
See, real men want to have sex for free.
"Since the other party doesn't agree, I won't force it. There are several alternatives."
Although he is a villain, he is a supporting role after all. Boss Cai did not use his "dog-licking characteristics" and insisted on People star.
Although I am sorry, I am not too entangled.
But Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said easily.
“If it’s Teacher Xu Jingjiang, maybe I can persuade him.”
"You?" Boss Cai asked doubtfully.
"I have collaborated with him in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer". I am Song Qingshu and he is the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun. We have a good relationship."
"Oh..." Boss Cai Come to think of it, it does happen.
Boss Cai knew that Zhang Yuan was very popular, but he could not invite him despite his three invitations. He could invite him.
The conditions he will give me will be better.
The attitude he will give himself is more polite.
What he can say, he can say more beautifully.
Boss Cai does not believe that Zhang Yuan has this ability.
"How about I give him a try?"
"Uh... OK." Seeing that he was so active and it was hard to throw cold water on him, Boss Cai agreed, so he agreed.
Zhang Yuan then took out his mobile phone and broadcast it to Teacher Xu.
It took a while before the call was connected.
“Hello?”
“Brother Jingjiang, I’m Zhang Yuan.”
“Oh, how are you doing lately?”
Zhang Yuan heard the faint sound of water and the rustling sound of paper being rubbed on the phone, and thought that besides working, this person must be painting.
Zhang Yuan has always felt that Teacher Xu Jingjiang’s life is very happy.
I have filming, I have hobbies, and my family supports me. It’s perfect.
"I'm fine. I've been filming a few movies recently, and one of them is about to start shooting. I wanted to ask if you have time to come over and act." Zhang Yuan pretended not to know that he had refused.
“What play?”
""Legend of Sword and Fairy", a game adaptation."
After a few seconds of silence, the other person spoke slowly.
"Zhang Yuan, I happen to be quite busy recently. I have been engaged in creation. I may not have time to act..."
Teacher Xu still found an excuse to decline politely.
“Ah, you’re not coming. I thought this film would have some of your acquaintances, so we could get together.”
"Acquaintances?" Xu Jingjiang said in her heart that Tangren didn't say he had any acquaintances. Who else could he have besides Zhang Yuan?
"Who?"
"Teacher Li Lizhen."
Xu Jingjiang:...
Poof!
Cai Yinong was drinking tea. When she heard Zhang Yuan mention the words Li Lizhen, she didn't stop and sprayed all over the table.
My heart tells me that you are a kid who doesn’t know how to open a bottle!
"Goodbye!" Teacher Xu on the other side of the phone said angrily and hung up the phone.
You, Li Lizhen, and Shu Qi did not cooperate very well in "The Heart Sutra of the Beautiful Girl"... Zhang Yuan certainly knows that Mr. Xu Jingjiang is very dissatisfied with the films he has made that are above the second level and below the fourth level. Very disgusted.
He has always regarded himself as an artist, but due to the pressure of life, he had to enter the entertainment industry to make a living in this unconventional way.
Although Teacher Xu is making money naked, how many people want to make money without doing this?
Besides, which of the sexy actresses in Hong Kong back then had he not "cooperated with"?
Shu Qi, Weng Hong, Ye Zimei, Li Lizhen... Teacher Xu is definitely a master who has eaten and met.
However, he is well-known among these actresses and they say that he is very disciplined when filming. Not only does he brush his teeth and rinse his mouth before filming, he is also very cautious during filming, never pretending to be real and taking advantage of the opportunity.
Zhang Tielin and Zhang Tielin are two completely opposite extremes.
Every time Teacher Xu mentioned the romantic past, he would feel anxious and even shed tears of grievance... He was still crying because of his appearance, which was overwhelming.
Zhang Yuan mentioned this matter to lower the other party's expectations.
It’s like finding out on a blind date that the other person is on the same level as Dad Ma. Whatever the other person says next, you think it’s okay because the threshold has been stretched to infinity.
During the 1997 Hong Kong financial crisis, Xu Jingjiang, like many others, was completely bankrupt in this "tsunami".
So he worked hard to take on the role, and he has only just recovered now.
The result of desperately taking on roles was that he took on many repetitive roles.
A ferocious, perverted, and arrogant villain...it is basically this type of character that comes to him.
So he was tired of it. "Brother Jingjiang, don't be anxious." Zhang Yuan stabilized the other party first: "Actually, you don't know that the main villain of this drama, the Moon Worshiping Cult, is very different from your previous roles."
< br>
“Aren’t they all villains and bad guys.” Teacher Xu was very depressed. With my appearance, do I have to play a bad guy?
Teacher Ji Chunhua gave a thumbs up.
“This villain is different!” Zhang Yuan left and turned on the deception mode.
"Have you seen "Harry Potter"?"
"Yes." Teacher Xu has a childlike innocence.
"You should know the big villain Voldemort." Zhang Yuan said quickly: "Our villain is a character similar to Voldemort."
"Gloomy, cold, calm, calm and clear-minded, superior wisdom..."
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the topic suddenly changed.
"Hey, this is a bit different from the style of the roles you usually play."
"I was offended. Maybe this role is not suitable for you, I'd better find someone else."< br>
“Wait!” At this time, Xu Jingjiang hurriedly shouted to stop.
Is it different from my usual roles?
Isn’t that just right!
I just got tired of playing those stereotypical crazy villains.
Moreover, gloomy, cold, calm, calm and clear-headed, extremely intelligent...this seems to be me.
There is gloominess, calmness, and wisdom, but there is really no coldness. Privately, Teacher Xu is just like a naughty child,
But it is precisely because of his naughtiness that he always pretends to be mature and indifferent. Of course, there are also reasons for social fear.
"Teacher Xu, forget it, it's not suitable."
"Suitable!"
"Forget it, forget it."
"I want it Acted.”
"Forget it..."
"Oh, don't restrict me."
"Okay, okay, if you insist on acting, I will help you discuss it with the crew and send a copy Let me show you the script.”
“Okay!”
Zhang Yuan put down the phone, and Cai Yinong opposite was messy in the wind.
What is this and what?
Why are they not willing to act when I ask them to act?
As soon as he contacted him, the other party begged him to act!
"Mr. Cai, do you have any other questions? Maybe I can help?"
"No more for now..." Cai Yinong still hasn't recovered yet: "Oh , by the way, one more thing.”
"The TV series will have a theme song. Baodao will find someone to produce part of it, and we will also produce part here."
"There are two character songs for the male protagonist, and we need to arrange for someone to sing..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yuan interrupted with a smile.
"Mr. Cai, I'm not good at singing."
"You have to find someone else for this matter... By the way, I just saw a handsome young man in the corridor. Look. You are about the same age as me. Are you from your company?”
"Yes!" Boss Cai understood immediately that he was talking about Hu Ge.
At the same time, the corners of his mouth dropped imperceptibly.
"Does he have a role in our play?"
"Yes..." Boss Cai sighed: "He plays the genius Jiang Ming of the Shushan Sword Sect."
She sighed with emotion. After all, Hu Ge was still no match for Zhang Yuan. She wanted to praise him...
"Can he sing?"
Faced with Zhang Yuan's sudden question, Boss Cai was stunned and did not react.
"I think he has a good image and temperament. If he can sing, just leave it to him."
"Yes!" Boss Cai immediately replied.
She originally thought that she and Zhang Yuan would grind it out and give Hu Ge a song to sing to improve his popularity.
I didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to give in. Isn't this an unexpected surprise?
Boss Cai feels that Zhang Yuan is doing the right thing and is really comfortable working with him.
【Received a thank you from Cai Yinong, confidence +2! 】
It’s just a few songs. It’s completely acceptable to give away such non-core interests. You can’t be too greedy.
Look, I stole the role of her eldest baby, but she had to thank me in turn.
Thump thump thump… A knock on the door interrupted the pleasant conversation between the two.
“Come in.”
Li Guoli responded and walked in. He nodded and smiled when he saw Zhang Yuan.
"Xiao Cai, the roles are almost decided. I have also written down a few new candidates for the Moon Worshiping Cult. Let's contact you again."
"No need to contact you." Boss Cai waved Wave.
"Yinong, your advantage is persistence, but your disadvantage is that you are too persistent." Director Li sighed: "If you don't want to, forget it, just change someone."
"I'm not saying not to change, but Xu Jingjiang has already agreed." Boss Cai glanced at Zhang Yuan and said, "I'm in a hurry to act now."
Li Guoli:? ? ?
Sister Cai told Zhang Yuan's "seeking talents" from beginning to end.
After listening, Li Guoli put on an expression that looked like he had been constipated for two weeks.
We were busy for a long time, and we had all the good things to say, but a phone call from him didn't help.
He did it so easily. Doesn’t it look like both Cai Yinong and I were dumbfounded...
When Boss Cai took the initiative to give up Zhang Yuan’s role song to Hu Ge, At this time, Li Guoli's expression turned from constipation to dizziness.
“It’s over!”
“Xiao Cai hasn’t realized yet that his weakness has been pinched by Zhang Yuan!”
The authorities are confused, but the onlookers know clearly. The two of them have been working together for so long, how could Director Li not know Boss Cai's temperament?
You have to blame Zhang Yuan.
They really do it right.
But it doesn’t feel good to be manipulated.
Director Li looked at Zhang Yuan and was more careful about him.
He always felt that under the easy-going appearance of this young man, he was an eagle that stared at him eagerly, and would take a piece of flesh from him at the right moment.
"Director Li, I would like to ask how the auditions of the young actors recommended by Baodao investor Mr. Wu went?"
Director Li came to his senses and replied.
“All the young people are good, youthful and lively, and very suitable for the roles.”
“After screening by Director Wu and I, we decided to let Liu Pinyan play Lin Yueru and An Yixuan play Anu. Peng Yuyan plays Tang Yu Xiaobao..."
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted to stop.
Director Li was wondering, if I didn’t assign roles to people like Baodao, it would be considered as an explanation to the investors.
However, Zhang Yuan frowned, as if he had heard something strange.
"Tell me again, who plays Lin Yueru and who plays Anu?"
"Liu Pinyan plays Lin Yueru and An Yixuan plays Anu." Director Li repeated.
"Hiss..." Zhang Yuan rubbed his chin, why did he do it the other way around?
"Director Li, I think it might be more suitable if the actors and roles are reversed." Zhang Yuan thought about it and spoke cautiously.
“Is this your idea or the investor’s idea?” Director Li responded tit-for-tat.
I am a director or a producer. How many movies have I made? Can I tell which actor is suitable?
Although you have investors behind you and you own shares, you can't question my professionalism casually.
Zhang Yuanyuan responded to the other party's reaction and immediately replied with a smile.
“It’s just my little suggestion, there’s not much I can do.”
Of course he could give it back on the spot to show off his means and power as one of the investors, but it’s not necessary.
"Haha, you will know when the filming starts..."
If you don't suffer a little loss, you won't take what I say seriously in the future.
Boss Cai looked on, thinking that Lao Li was still tough enough, so he immediately pushed Zhang Yuan back.
Cai Yinong was happy to see him deflated and felt happy.
Didi didi... Just when the atmosphere was a little delicate, a cell phone rang, breaking this wonderful awkwardness.
Zhang Yuan took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and saw that it was Brother Qian.
After the call was connected, Brother Qian’s excited tone immediately came from the receiver.
"Yuan, our landlord has taken the bait!" (End of Chapter)
