After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 289 Shi Lingling auditioned for "Sun Quan"

The action superstars of the previous generation had a series of movies with strong personal characteristics, but until now, they either couldn’t move, or they ruined the reputation of the series.

The same is true for comedy stars. Most of the well-known series died halfway, and they were tossed in the hands of their own people.

As for other types, there is no series that can be sold, so I won't talk about it.

So now they still use the previous IP to make any sequels, without exception, they are all fried rice, and basically they can only earn a wave of sentimental money.

And what is the most important thing about the series?At present, industrialization is a very important feature.

After all, it is difficult for you to continue to perform well in comedy movies, and it is also difficult to develop a series of comedy movies, let alone other types.

The most suitable series of movies are new action, science fiction and other large-scene movies that require the support of film industry.

Hollywood has achieved the ultimate in this aspect, especially the concept of various movie universes, which has stimulated a large number of filmmakers all over the world, including Chinese people of course.

In fact, there are always many people who want to make series films, because one of the biggest advantages of series films is that they save a lot of publicity and have a natural audience.

This is why there are more and more adapted IPs based on the original work.

So after this kind of IP work is finished, you can’t blame the original party for giving bad reviews. No matter how good your filming is, if you don’t restore it, it’s a waste of this IP for the original party.

According to the logic of the original party, since you don’t follow the original film, you don’t want to buy the IP and do it yourself. You want to take advantage of the IP and don’t want to be scolded. How can it be so cheap?

This may be a bit extreme, but it makes sense, so there is no need to wash the floor.

But whether it is a series of films or other IP adaptations, very few of them are really successful all the time. On the contrary, there are many who succeed once and then make money later.

But being able to make money also proves the power of IP, so the pursuit of IP in the circle is still endless.

But now as far as Li Mingji is concerned, he has already confirmed the possibility of owning two series of IPs.

There was "Jin Yi Xiu Ming" before, and now there are more Dragonborn series. If these two IPs are really developed properly, the basic quality can be maintained in the follow-up. Even relying on these two series, Li Mingji doesn't have to worry about future development .

Of course, he is not someone who likes to sit on the credit book, so of course the series will not give up, but it will not stop taking other films either.

Even if he encounters an opportunity that requires him to challenge his acting skills, he will force himself to give it a try.

Just like Director Zhang's new work "Shadow" in preparation, Li Mingji asked Brother Wang to continue to understand it, and then he realized that the literary drama accounted for the majority of the drama, and the martial arts drama was mainly on the protagonist and some soldiers.

Of course, Guan Yu must also have, but Sun Quan, as the lord of Soochow Wu, is also the role he wants to fight for, and it must be all drama.

This was actually not unexpected, but I had previously wondered whether it would be adapted.

But when Brother Wang asked him if he still insisted on taking this role, he still gave an affirmative answer.

"It's impossible for me to stay in my comfort zone all my life, let alone set a comfort zone for myself? I wanted to take the path of action movies before, but that doesn't mean I won't try other things."

Brother Wang will not hold any objection to this. After all, as far as he is concerned, what he hopes most is that Li Mingji will rely on the official and the big director. With these two, his career as an actor can go smoothly. Smoother and more secure.

After all, Weiheng Entertainment is unreliable in terms of resources, they can only fight for it themselves.

Even if I start a studio independently in the future, I still have to rely on myself, so it is very important to build my own network of contacts.

In the past, he had urged Li Mingji several times to get acquainted with directors and establish good relationships with various directors. Now that he has such an opportunity, he naturally cannot let it go.

The cooperation itself is nothing, but if a cooperation can leave a good impression, big directors usually like to use actors who are easy to use when filming, so it is often seen that those well-known directors even work with each other for a period of time. Some actors are bound together.

And it would be even better if Li Mingji could take advantage of this opportunity to get into their circle smoothly.

After waiting like this for two days, Li Mingji was finally about to start his official work.

The first step is to go to the audition!

In fact, after the Spring Festival, he already has a lot of time and can devote his energy to his new job at any time.

After all, rest is enough. When I recorded the creation camp earlier, I worked while resting, and I had more rest time. As for the exercise, after getting used to it, it can be regarded as a certain degree of relaxation.

It's just that he can, it depends on whether people have the time or not.

And Brother Wang also said before that Director Zhang might not have time until after the Lantern Festival, but he didn't expect that Director Zhang was quite obsessed with work, and he started to get into the mood as soon as the seventh day of the lunar new year passed.

Then waited until the first week of February to resume preparations for the crew.

The top priority of the preparations is naturally the casting.

According to what Chen Chao said, besides him as the main character and the heroine of his wife's filming confirmed, many roles are still pending.

"Sun Quan" can be regarded as the third or fourth male number in this film, and the second male number is naturally "Guan Yu".

Li Mingji also thought about taking pictures of Guan Yu, but no matter what he thought, his thin body couldn't take pictures of Guan Yu. If he really wanted to be tough, he could only make "the weakest Guan Yunchang in history" or "the thin bamboo pole Guan Yu" , that was very disappointing.

So it's better to be the young hero Sun Quan, who is actually about the right age, and adding a beard can make him look more mature and stable.

It is estimated that Director Zhang did not expect that Li Mingji was in such a hurry to come, and many actors did not start work until after the Lantern Festival.

But since they couldn't wait, Director Zhang certainly wouldn't refuse. The location of the audition was in Xiangshan Film and Television City, where the crew was preparing and one of the filming locations.

Coming to Xiangshan Film and Television City again after less than three months, Li Mingji was really excited to reunite after a long absence.

Of course, it was mainly because of the resumption of work, and after such a long rest and adjustment, I have regained the impulse to shoot.

"Director Zhang likes to use real scenes, so unless there are ready-made places in the film and television city that meet the requirements, he will simply build one himself..." At this time, a group of people are walking along the scene in the play that the "Shadow" crew is building. Go, the staff is also helping to introduce.

After all, this is not the original story of the Three Kingdoms, but a fan work, so Director Zhang also strives to match the description of the original work as much as possible in terms of scenery.

It is also conceivable that the character image and other aspects after that are the same.

Li Mingji has already read the original work, so although he doesn't have a script, he still has a good idea of ​​what kind of person "Sun Quan" should be in it.

But to show it, whether it will be satisfactory or not is unknown for the time being, I can only say that I will do my best.

"Hello, Director Zhang, I'm Li Mingji."

This is the first official meeting with Director Zhang Da. We may have bumped into each other in the past, such as the previous Golden Dragon Awards, but we had no intersection at that time, so it was naturally impossible for us to know each other.

Director Zhang is in his 50s this year, but he is in the prime of life. These few years have also been the period when his creative inspiration exploded, so there are continuous works released. Facing Li Mingji, he is also full of smiles, "I know, you recently It's too hot!"
