The bard joins the entertainment industry

Seeing Chen Shuo arriving, Cheng Xiaodong greeted: "Are you done?"

"I'm done with my work. I'll focus on action design next." Chen Shuo greeted him, Shen Pingchuan and others and asked, "What step have we achieved?"

Shen Pingchuan handed him some drafts, and Cheng Xiaodong introduced: "Some of the supporting roles, such as the Kongtong Double Swords and the Six Door Gods' arresting movements, have almost been designed.

Basically they are designed based on everyone’s inherent impressions.

The movements of the remaining Black Stone people and Jiang Asheng have not been specifically designed yet, but there is a general idea, you can take a look first. "

Having the experience of filming "House of Flying Daggers" together, Cheng Xiaodong is very familiar with Chen Shuo's talent in action.

Any action can be recovered by just doing it once, and even some inappropriate places can be easily found and improved.

In addition, during this period of time, I have cooperated with Shen Pingchuan and Yang Tianle, and I also highly recognize their level.

I heard from both of them that they had been influenced and taught by Chen Shuo, and that was how they reached their current level.

Therefore, he still values ​​Chen Shuo relatively highly.

He will not be ignored just because he is young.

Chen Shuo flipped through the draft, quickly generating corresponding action scenes in his mind, and combined them with the temperament and experience of the characters in the script, and he also recognized their results.

After all, Cheng Xiaodong is an experienced, high-level, and award-winning action director.

Moreover, both of them have very similar concepts. They like the majestic northern movements of opening and closing, and believe that they can better reflect the health and beauty of martial arts.

In the realistic movements, a kind of artistic conception of martial arts and chivalry is pursued.

"Director Cheng is worthy of being Director Cheng. The movements are designed to make people feel comfortable."

Cheng Xiaodong laughed and said, "Okay, since you think it's appropriate, let's go and have a look at the training ground.

We, unlike those directors of literary dramas, all designs must be made after seeing the actual effects. "

"Let's go then." Chen Shuo stood up and walked to the training ground with a few people. On the way, he asked: "How many people have Director Zhang found?"

Cheng Xiaodong said: "Basically everything has been found now."

Chen Shuo asked curiously: "Oh? Who is there?"

This drama features Zhang Yimou. For him, there is no need to rely on the selection of actors to attract the attention of the media and the public.

He even said that he wished he could keep a low profile before filming started.

Therefore, when selecting actors, he did not select them with great fanfare. Instead, he found a group of people suitable for the roles and asked several production investors to recommend some people.

Then, people were quietly selected through invitation interviews.

In addition to knowing that Shu Chang is definitely starring in Xiao Yu.

Chen Shuo didn't pay attention to this aspect during this period, and he wasn't too clear about it.

The main reason is that "The Condor" is coming to an end, and all his energy is focused on it.

"Who did Zeng Jing and Jiang Asheng choose?"

"Jiang Asheng is Yu Bo from your company, and Zeng Jing is Yang Ziqiong invited by Director Zhang."

"Yang Ziqiong?" Chen Shuo asked slightly surprised: "Didn't I hear that she is filming "Fearless" during this time?"

Speaking of the most popular movie news during this period, apart from Zhang Yimou's first producer after winning the Oscar, "Swordsman".

The other one is "Fearless" starring Li Lianjie.

In order to film this movie, I heard that Jet Li found many practical experts from various countries to be actors.

If he hadn't been busy filming on the crew, he would have wanted to go to the Magic City to see the true level of these people who can win championships in professional competitions.

Cheng Xiaodong explained: "She didn't have many scenes in that film, and the filming was completed some time ago.

She wanted to take a break during this period, but she couldn't resist Director Zhang's invitation. After reading the script, she felt that the character was very good, so she stopped taking a break. "

"Who else is there besides the two of them?"

Cheng Xiaodong pointed to the front and said: "It will be there soon. You can see for yourself when the time comes."

With that said, several people had arrived at the door of the training room. As Shen Pingchuan and the others opened the door, Chen Shuo saw the heated scene inside.

Unlike the last time we filmed "Ambush", there were only a few leading actors, and each had their own jobs. Basically, Liu Yifei was the only one during training.

There are many characters in this drama, and there are also action scenes. Everyone gathered together and prepared carefully.

At first glance, I can see that I know quite a few people.

Yang Ziqiong is not here, but Yu Bo, Shu Chang, Yang Junyi, Zhang Jin, Yang Guang and others are all here.

In addition to them, there are Fan Bingbing, Wang Xuequi, Yu Wenle and others.

"Teacher Wang, Sister Bingbing, Wenle, Brother Bo..." Chen Shuo greeted one by one: "There are no outsiders here."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that our first cooperation would be in this way." Wang Xueqi looked at him and smiled.

Last year, the two met at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards. They had a glass of wine and chatted for a few words.

"Let's act together next time." Chen Shuo smiled and shook hands with him.

"Chen Shuo, we meet again." Fan Bingbing smiled and stretched out his hand to Chen Shuo.

"Sister Bingbing, we meet again." Chen Shuo also smiled and reached out to shake her hand.

One is from Qindao and the other is from Lanling. They are both fellows from Shandong Province.

Previously, they won awards together at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, and had a great chat at the dinner party.

"I didn't expect that we received the actor award together last time, and this time you have become the director." Fan Bingbing said with a smile: "I hope you, as the director, can take more care of me for this film."

They have been training for a while, so they naturally know Chen Shuo's identity.

"I should put more effort into Teacher Wang and Sister Bingbing in the future."

Fan Bingbing's eyes flashed, and he said as if suddenly: "I forgot, in addition to being the director, you are also the boss."

Looking at Fan Bingbing, who had a different flavor in front of him, Chen Shuo laughed and said: "In the future, there will be no boss or no boss in this crew, we all have to listen to Director Zhang's arrangements.

As the assistant action director, I also have to listen to Director Chen’s arrangements.

Besides, the real bosses are Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Wang, and I’m not even in the rankings. "

After chatting for a while, Chen Shuo chatted with Yu Wenle for a while. When the two were filming "Initial D" last year, although their relationship was not too close, they could be considered friends.

For this play, Huanya pushed him, Cheng Guanxi and others here to audition. Cheng Guanxi, who had high hopes from the company, failed to catch the eye of Zhang Yimou. Instead, he was favored to play the role of Lei Bin.

Zhouyi, Media Asia and Huayi, together with Star Picture and China Film, are the main investors and producers of this drama.

It's just that Star Picture and China Film basically have no entertainment agency business, so this candidate basically doesn't come from the three major investment companies.

Moreover, since Zhou Yi dominates, and the characters except Yu Bo's role are not too important, anyone can be used.

With suitable actors, Zhang Yimou naturally does not need to use outsiders.
