Chapter 11 Che Xiao joins (seeking for reading)
Across the table, Che Xiao and Zeng Li have read through the script and are looking at the storyboards and storyboards.
They were not browsing very fast, but their hearts were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.
Che Xiao secretly thought: "Is this a script written by a sophomore?"
Zeng Li was worried about her alma mater: "Are Nortel students already so good? ? What about the drama? ”
Although the two of them have not shot many works, they still have good vision. The script in front of me is definitely a good one. Just by looking at the storyboards, you can tell that it will be extraordinary. As long as you close your eyes, you can imagine those scenes and the tension will rush out.
"Director Zhang..., do you really like me to play the heroine Xia La?"
Che Xiao's voice was a little trembling. She originally wanted to call her junior, but the words couldn't reach her lips. When you know why, you become a director.
The story is really a good one. Not only is the plot gripping, but it also explores human nature. Now she is convinced that all the teachers Cao Bingkun told him praised the script.
Che Xiao’s only worry is that she is afraid that she will not be able to play the role of Xia La well.
"Of course, when I created the character of Xia La, I based it on the image of my senior sister. No one is more suitable for this role than you."
Zhang Chen's unabashed praise made Che Xiao's face change. They were all a little red, and they couldn't help but fall into self-doubt. Are they really as good as he said?
"Well, Director Zhang, I accepted this role."
"Don't you ask about the remuneration?"
"It doesn't matter, the script is so good, even if it's free, I'll do it. Willing.”
Cao Bingkun was stunned as he watched from the side. Why did he turn into Director Zhang after a while? What kind of magic is this?
Hearing that Che Xiao was willing to star, Zhang Chen was happier than anyone else. As long as Che Xiao joined, he would be sure to convince Li Shaofu to invest. If Che Xiao refused, he really didn't know. What to do.
Now a win-win situation appears and everyone is happy.
While everyone was in high spirits, Zeng Li next to her looked confused.
It has been several years since Zeng Li graduated and she has also filmed several TV series. Among them, she has produced such masterpieces as "The Talented Man and the Beautiful Woman", which made her a little popular.
"Talent and Beauty" did get her some attention, but after that there were no good books for her, and she could feel that her popularity was slowly dissipating.
The entertainment industry changes very quickly, and it may not be long before no one remembers her anymore.
Zeng Li was very distressed, but there was nothing he could do.
A few years ago, the international chapter took away the role that should belong to her, and it seemed that it also took away her luck. She was supposed to be the favorite of heaven, but her acting career has been mediocre and has not improved much. .
It is said that she has an indifferent temperament, but no matter how indifferent she is, she is still a human being and has a winning mentality.
Her classmates became famous one after another, and all of them became stars, but she was the only one who remained unknown.
What’s the difference? Acting? Of course not.
There are so many good actors in Renyi, and any one you pick out at random is at the level of a movie star. But all of them are unknown, not because they can't find good roles.
There is an old saying in the industry that is very true, actors and roles make each other successful.
The profession of actor is very unique. If you have good acting skills, if you encounter a good role, you may be able to skyrocket.
On the contrary, if you only have incredible acting skills but no suitable roles, even if you are Chen Daoming, you will never be able to get ahead in your life.
This is also an example of why there are so many late bloomers in this circle.
Zeng Li occasionally laments her bad luck. If she had not missed director Zhang Yimou that day, would everything that International Chapter has today be hers?
But if you miss it, you miss it.
She is not a proactive character. She usually films when there is a role, and guest stars in dramas to hone her acting skills when there is no role.
In the worst case, I'll go back to China Opera and become a teacher.
Zeng Li originally planned to do so, but today her thoughts were shaken.
To be honest, the script in front of her made her very excited. The narrative method of "Dark Invasion" is completely different from that of domestic movies, but it has a bit of a Hollywood style.
More importantly, the characters in the script are very three-dimensional.
Good roles are very enjoyable to play.
This was not said by her, but by Hu Jun.
Zeng Li wanted to seize this opportunity. She felt that this might be an opportunity to change her destiny.
He has already missed this opportunity once and does not want to miss it again.
Making up her mind, Zeng Li no longer had any hesitation in her eyes.
"Director, I would like to ask, have the other roles in this drama been decided?"
The three of them were congratulating each other when they suddenly heard Zeng Li's voice.
Che Xiao noticed the look on his good friend's face, understood immediately, and also helped: "Yes, director, if you are not sure about the other characters, can you consider our Zeng Li, her acting skills are very good, I came to see her play today."
"Drama, are you still doing a play?" This aroused Zhang Chen's curiosity.
Che Xiao said before that she was watching a play near here. She thought she was with Zeng Li, but she didn't expect that she was watching a play performed by Zeng Li.
You must know that there is also a chain of contempt in the circle of actors. Generally speaking, drama actors are greater than or equal to film actors, greater than TV drama actors, and greater than variety show actors.
It can be said that actors who can act in dramas are not bad at acting, because there is no chance of NG.
"Currently, only the heroine Shara has been selected, but there are no candidates for other roles yet. Senior Sister Zeng, tell me, which role do you want to play?"
"Juno."
Zeng Li expressed her thoughts. It was definitely impossible for her to be a heroine. The director made it clear that she was tailor-made for Che Xiao.
So she decisively chose the role of Juno.
Although the character Juno does not appear as many times as the heroine, in terms of the complexity of the character, it even surpasses the heroine and is the most three-dimensional character in the whole novel.
Zhang Chenxin said that it was indeed true. In the original work, Juno was also a very popular character.
Not to mention that in the sequel, Juno's length has increased significantly, almost the same as the protagonist.
However, his original candidate for this role was someone else.
Although the character Juno is positioned as a female, she plays the role of a male character.
This role is equivalent to the courage of the whole play.
She is the first to bravely resist the ogre, and represents hope in the whole play. With her presence, this play will not seem so desperate.
It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the script, the person most likely to escape from the ogre cave alive in the whole play is not Sarah, but Juno.
So Zhang Chen’s positioning for this role requires some sassy temperament and must not show weakness. Although Zeng Li is a big Tsing Yi type, her positioning is still somewhat different from Juno.
The most suitable candidate in Zhang Chen's mind is Wan Qian or Wang Zhi.
Wan Qian won’t say anything else. She has a heroic spirit in her appearance, which matches Juno’s temperament very well, and her acting skills are top-notch.
Wang Zhi is considered an alternative. Wang Zhi who plays the role of Qiu Ya is certainly not suitable, but after seeing the short hair style in "The Wandering Earth 2", Zhang Chen recognized this actor.
Completely different from Qiu Ya’s temperament, sweet or salty, this is what an actor should be like.
But now that Zeng Li expressed her desire to star in the role, and because of Che Xiao’s reputation, it would definitely not be appropriate for Zhang Chen to refuse directly.
