The bard joins the entertainment industry

Chen Shuo came to the office area of ​​the performance department, where Shan Xiaolou was having a meeting with Yu Bo, Shu Chang and others.

After seeing him, she stood up, invited him to sit next to her and said, "You came just in time. Come, sit here."

For Shan Xiaolou, although Chen Shuo's acting activities are still arranged by her, she is no longer just an actor in the performance department.

Instead, he is the director and art director of Zhouyi Film Production Company.

Chen Shuo did not refuse, nodded, sat next to her and asked: "Has Sister Xiaolou finished arranging the work?"

"Isn't this just waiting for you to come?" Shan Xiaolou did not wait for him to continue asking, and said: "Relatively speaking, the most important business this year is the production of the movie "Jian Yu Jiang Hu".

I would like to ask how you plan to select actors. "

Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and others also looked at Chen Shuo expectantly.

"Uh~" Chen Shuo looked at Yu Bo and others who were looking forward to it, shook his head and said: "Actually, this matter is really not mine, or even our company can have the final say.

To be honest, my boss and I never expected to be able to persuade Director Zhang to participate.

But now that this is done, it means that Director Zhang will have the final say on most of the next affairs of this crew. "

Zhou Yi does not have much film resources, and his real exposure to this industry only started after Chen Shuo participated in "House of Flying Daggers".

After Chen Shuo became famous last year, Zhou Ping and Jiang Xuerou began to prepare to try.

Later, Chen Shuo participated in "Initial D", gave up the opportunity to participate in "Seven Swords" to Yu Bo and others, and helped find training opportunities for Li Dachao and others, which was regarded as a path for the company.

Trying to make a movie this year is a sure thing.

I just didn't expect that Chen Shuo could really recruit Zhang Yimou as the producer. This suddenly made Zhou Yi's first movie have a different meaning.

If nothing else, this can almost be said to be equivalent to Zhang Yimou's work, and its appeal to actors is simply incomparable.

In particular, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei received such great honors for their participation in "House of Flying Daggers".

Hearing this, Shan Xiaolou was not disappointed and asked, "Does Yu Bo and the others have a chance?"

"Yes!" Chen Shuo nodded affirmatively and said: "Not only "Jian Yu Jiang Hu" has a chance, but "Twin Thieves" also has a chance.

Although the script of "Gemini Thieves" was sold to Brother Hua, we also participated in the production and investment.

If he can't get the starring role, he will definitely have to promote his own family or exchange investment shares with others.

But some minor characters are still okay. "

Chen Shuo looked at Yangguang, Yang Rong, Liu Yang and others.

Shan Xiaolou followed his gaze, thought for a while and said: "I will discuss this matter with Master Jiang and the boss later. I would like to ask about the casting of "Sword Rain" and how it will be held at that time."

Chen Shuo said: "I will show you the script later, and you can choose the characters you think you are confident about and try it out.

A month later, after Director Zhang finished participating in the selection of the Oscars, the selection process began. "

Including Shan Xiaolou, everyone looked at Chen Shuo with envy.

On January 25, the 77th Academy Awards announced the nomination list.

House of Flying Daggers was nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Foreign Language Film.

The next day, on the 26th, "House of Flying Daggers" officially won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

You know, before this, Zhang Yimou had already nominated three works for this award: "Alive", "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge" and "Hero".

This time I finally got the award.

In addition, "House of Flying Daggers" was also his fourth Oscar nomination, and everyone couldn't help but talk about it.

He asked whether he would take this opportunity to break the dilemma of only being nominated but not receiving awards.

Although many people online said they have little hope, there are still many people who have hopes.

This is the case for Shan Xiaolou and others.

After all, he has now become the producer of "Jian Yu Jiang Hu". If he can really win an Oscar, then everyone will pay special attention to this work.

It is for this reason that Chen Shuocai said that this work is no longer the final say of Zhou Yi.

There are too many people who are eager for this project.

Whether Zhou Yi can still get some benefits from this plate depends entirely on Zhang Yimou's attitude.

If you are not careful, you may kick someone else out and make someone else's wedding dress.

Therefore, Chen Shuo only said that Yu Bo and the others have the final opportunity to interview, but whether they can succeed or not, whether they can act or not depends on Zhang Yimou's decision.

Without hesitation, he came to the office and distributed the scripts to everyone, allowing them to make their own choices.

There are still many characters in this film, including Xiaoyu and Zhang Renfeng before the disguise, and Zeng Jing and Jiang Asheng after the disguise.

The final Boss Wheel King, the killers of Black Stone, Ye Chanqing, Lei Bin, Caishi Shi, etc.

With the help of several top editors at Pumpkin Creation Center, the overall story is arranged logically and each character has its highlights.

Shan Xiaolou flipped through a character list and asked Chen Shuo: "Which role will you play then? Jiang Asheng is a bit too old and not suitable, and Zhang Renfeng doesn't have many roles. What are your plans?"

This drama is told from the perspective of the heroine Zeng Jing, also known as Xiaoyu.

Therefore, since the first protagonist is a woman, it naturally has nothing to do with Chen Shuo.

Moreover, although Zeng Jing, Jiang Asheng, Xiao Yu, and Zhang Renfeng are two characters in different stages, in the selection of actors, four must be selected.

Among them, Zeng Jing and Jiang Asheng have the most scenes, followed closely by King of Wheels.

Zhang Renfeng doesn't have as many scenes as Lei Bin and others.

Chen Shuo shook his head and said: "I didn't think much about it at the time. When I wrote the script, I wrote it with the actor as my character.

It’s just that ideas didn’t change as quickly as they did. Eventually, the actor became a marginal character, and a lot of details were added, making it unsuitable for me to act at my age.

Indeed, as you said, Jiang Asheng's character is not suitable for me, and Zhang Renfeng's scenes are too few.

I'm also thinking about what to do then.

However, this drama doesn’t necessarily have to be me taking the leading role. Maybe Director Zhang will invite a big shot by then. "

Chen Shuo said and looked at Yu Bodao: "Brother Bo, you go to Jiang Asheng first, and don't forget to prepare for the role of the Wheel King.

If Jiang Asheng can't get it, then the boss Qi Cheng and I can give you the role of Wheel King. "

Yu Bo quickly looked at Chakravartin King's introduction and couldn't help but said: "Eunuch..."

Chen Shuo said: "If you don't like this role, then choose Lu Zhu, we will definitely win this role.

You must have experience playing Fahai and Beacon Fire Liancheng. This role will not be difficult for you. "

"No..." Yu Bo glanced at him and said, "I'll prepare Jiang Asheng and Wheel King first."

Although the image of playing a eunuch is not very good, it seems to have no impact on myself.

What I pursue is to become an actor, not a star. If everyone can recognize my role and my acting skills, that will be fine.

As for the impact on his image, he thought about it. With the TV series covering the whole story, it shouldn't be...right?

After a while, everyone had a deeper understanding of the script and characters, and selected the roles they wanted to try.

Chen Shuo asked: "Which role has everyone decided to try? If you have any doubts, you can tell me.

After all, the idea for this script came from me, and I know the characters very well.

I just take this opportunity today to analyze it with you. "

Shu Chang was the first to say: "I choose drizzle.\

,"She had read the script earlier and had thought about which role she would be suitable for.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that there were really few roles that suited me, and the most suitable one was Xiaoyu.

She originally thought that this role must belong to Liu Yifei, but after asking, she learned that she did not plan to participate in this drama.

Instead, she wanted to wait and see that if the film was successful, Chen Shuo would write a special script for her, and then ask Zhou Yi to produce it and Chen Jingfei to find someone to invest.

Then she has nothing to hesitate about.

She didn't think much about Zeng Jing's more important role.

Firstly, like Chen Shuo, her age does not match, and secondly, she feels that she has no chance of getting it.

Even if this is my own project.

Chen Shuo nodded when he heard this. Xiaoyu's role was not complicated. Whether it was a literary drama or a martial arts drama, with Shu Chang's acting skills, it was not a problem at all.

The only shortcoming is that Shu Chang doesn't have much experience in acting in movies, so he doesn't know if he can be selected by Zhang Yimou.

However, Chen Shuo naturally would not pour cold water on her, and nodded and encouraged: "Come on!"

Shu Chang was quite confident. After all, she had spent a lot of time preparing and had talked to Chen Shuo about this role countless times.

Even if it was a martial arts drama, Chen Shuo had to give her special training.

In addition, it is only the preparation stage now, and she still has time to make more preparations.

She had no hope for the first protagonist, Zeng Jing, especially Yang Guang, Yang Rong, and Liu Yang.

Sunshine said: "I choose Tian Qingtong."

Chen Shuo nodded when he heard this. Tian Qingtong is also a relatively good supporting role in the play.

She herself is a chivalrous woman who wields swords and performs chivalry and justice, but she accidentally met Lei Bin, and the two gradually became fond of each other because of an accident.

Later, he was willing to withdraw from the world and became pregnant with Lei Bin's flesh and blood. It was precisely because of this that Lei Bin had the idea of ​​withdrawing from the world.

"Sister Sunshine, if you want to play this role, you might as well experience what it's like to be a pregnant woman and a mother first.

Not only will this help your performance, it’s also a plus when casting. "

Yang Yang nodded excitedly and said, "I know, I will experience this aspect of life."

Chen Shuo nodded and said nothing more. This role is not too important.

If you divide the characters in the film into several levels.

The male and female protagonists, Zeng Jing and Jiang Asheng, and the villain, Wheelrunner, are in the first place.

Then Xiaoyu, Ye Chanqing, Lei Bin, and Cai Xishi can be called the second level.

The remaining Zhang Renfeng, Lu Zhu, Tian Qingtong and others are counted as the third gear.

With Sunshine's ability and Zhou Yi's status as an actor, it is not difficult to get this role.

Yang Rong hesitated for a while, then with a heartbeat, he said, "I plan to try the leaf blooming green."

Sunshine watched her open her mouth, but did not say the words of advice.

She had hesitated before whether to choose this role.

It's just that firstly, she didn't want to accept the ambiguous scenes, and secondly, she didn't feel confident.

When it comes to looks and figure, Yang Rong does have advantages over her, but her disadvantages are more obvious and she is not charming enough.

She is pretty, but she is more suitable for the sweet type, not the charming type.

But now that she had made up her mind, it was hard for her to persuade her.

Even though the two of them have a good relationship in private because they go to the same school.

But in this matter, it is not good to say too much.

Chen Shuo and Shan Xiaolou were a little surprised by Yang Rong's choice.

Among the four actresses in Zhouyi, she has the best figure, but she is relatively conservative in her daily life and participation in activities.

"Are you sure?" Shan Xiaolou said, "This character..."

She glanced at Chen Shuo and continued: "I feel that this role is not very suitable for you. Director Zhang may not choose you."

When Chen Shuo was about to speak, he saw Yang Rong, who was hesitant at first, his face turned green and white, and he closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, I give up."

He opened his mouth and finally asked: "What other options does Sister Rong have?"

Yang Rong sighed and lay down on the table, with two extra balls of flesh squeezed under his armpits, and said, "No, I'm going to see if there are any good roles on TV.

As for movies, I’ll wait until I find the right one. "

Shan Xiaolou was silent for a moment and said: "That's fine. This is just our first movie. There will definitely be more opportunities in the future."

Yang Rong straightened up suddenly, his chest trembling, and said with a smile: "Yes, I thought I could risk it all, but I just figured it out, I don't have the courage at all."

Sunshine comforted: "It doesn't matter, since the company is here, we actually don't have to risk our lives."

Shan Xiaolou also said: “If you want to be an actor, you must have ambition, but ambition cannot be the only thing.

The reason why I signed you in the first place was because of your character.

There are many opportunities in our company now, so there is no need to rush to compete for them. "

Hearing her words, everyone had their own thoughts.

A company only has so many resources. If someone takes the good ones, the rest will not be able to get them.

Not fighting means that you can only pick what others have left.

In this way, you will never catch up with others.

However, both Jiang Xuerou and Shan Xiaolou are relatively accurate in judging people.

From Chen Shuo, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, and Zhang Jin to Shu Chang, Yang Guang, Yang Rong, and Liu Yang, none of them is ambitious.

There is no such thing as fighting for resources at all costs.

Yang Rong thought she could risk it all, but when it happened, she found that it was not that simple to risk it.

Later, Liu Yang also said that he did not plan to participate.

Because she feels that she already had several roles in TV series last year.

If we can win a few good roles this year, then wait for these programs to be aired one after another.

In two years at most, she will be able to accumulate some fame and get better opportunities.

In this regard, Shan Xiaolou expressed his approval.
