The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 485

This young actor named Hu Ge is suitable to play Li Xiaoyao?What are you kidding, this is the leading actor!

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Li Guoli and the crew shook their heads one after another.

Zhang Jin did not count on the approval of these crew members, but turned his attention to Yao Zhuangxian who was on the sidelines.

Seeing him looking at him, Yao Zhuangxian pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "I agree with Mr. Zhang, the costume of the young actor named Hu Ge just now is more in line with the image of Li Xiaoyao in my mind."

With Yao Xian's support, Zhang Jin said to Li Guoli again: "I know you may disagree, since everyone has different opinions, why not give Hu Ge a chance and let him change into Li Xiaoyao's look, we are watching Once, maybe this time you will feel differently."

Li Guoli questioned everyone in the crew with his eyes, and after receiving indifferent feedback, he nodded and said, "Okay, A Ming, tell the dressing room to change Hu Ge into Li Xiaoyao's look, and audition later."

While Hu Ge was changing his look, Zhang Jin and others interviewed a few more audition actors, but the results were all mediocre, with no great highlights.

After all the audition actors had finished their auditions, everyone waited for a while before Hu Ge came belatedly with a new look.

I saw him dressed in a coarse cloth robe, with a ponytail hairstyle with slanted bangs on his head, which has both modern aesthetics and ancient costume styling. Coupled with his handsome and handsome face with sharp edges and corners, and the unique vigor and wit of young people, he is alive and well. A living Li Xiaoyao!

This shape immediately amazed everyone present!

Zhang Jin asked with a smile: "Director Li, as well as directors and screenwriters, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay! That's great, it perfectly restored the Li Xiaoyao in my mind!" Yao Zhuangxian couldn't help but said with joy on his face.

"That's great!" exclaimed a screenwriter.

Li Guoli exchanged opinions with several assistant directors, nodded and said: "The shape is fine, A Ming, let him bring the sword from the prop, and then look at the shape of the sword."

Soon, a prop sword was delivered to Hu Singer.

"Put yourself holding a sword." Li Guoli gestured.

Hu Ge held the sword and thought for a while, recalling the actions of Yang Guo in the costume drama The Legend of Condor Heroes that he had seen before. He raised his left hand to raise his sword fingers, and his right hand held the sword flat against his face, and posed towards Li Liguo.

Seeing this, Zhang Jin couldn't help but said, "Are you planning to assassinate Director Li with one sword?"

When the others heard his words, they couldn't help laughing out loud.

"No, no, the director asked me to pose, so I..." Hu Ge quickly explained.

"So you want to stab him to death with a sword." Zhang Jin joked again.

Everyone laughed again, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere!
The fledgling Hu Ge suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and quickly put down the sword in his hand, looking at a loss.

Li Guoli rescued him and said: "Mr. Zhang, don't tease him. Hu Ge, what Mr. Zhang said was a joke. Don't forget to take it to heart. In fact, Mr. Zhang is the one who won for you this time for Li Xiaoyao's modeling audition." Yes, he likes you very much."

Zhang Jin quickly waved his hand: "Director Li, I don't think much of him."

Li Guoli was taken aback when he heard the words: "But you were obviously the first to stand up just now."

"You misunderstood. I mean, I don't like him very much, but I think Li Xiaoyao's role must belong to him!" Zhang Jin said seriously.

This is not his personal opinion, but the opinion of the majority of drama fans.

Everyone was speechless for a moment!
After only meeting him once, I feel that a character belongs to him. This is too subjective!
Many people's eyes kept turning back and forth on Zhang Jin and Hu Ge. Could there be some ulterior secret in it?

Hu Ge was a little embarrassed by the praise. This was the first time someone said that a certain role belonged to him. It is really rare for a student who has not yet graduated to get such an evaluation, and he can almost bring it back to the class to show off.

Yao Zhuangxian also nodded and said: "I agree with Mr. Zhang, at least for now, he is the most suitable character image."

Li Guoli said to Hu Ge noncommittally: "You go back first, we will notify your agent of the audition result."

"Okay, thank you director and crew members!" Hu Ge thanked politely, then turned and left.

After they left, Li Guoli smiled wryly at Zhang Jin and Yao Zhuangxian: "Both of you, you are talking to death. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we don't use him later?"

"Then what other actors can you use? I don't deny that other actors can play the role of Li Xiaoyao well, but I think you should know the difference between a good performance and a real performance." Zhang Jin spread his hands. Said.

"The most important thing in adapting a screenplay is to restore the original work. Let's not talk about whether the plot can be restored, but the characters must first strive to conform? Even if they don't conform, we must make the thin characters in the game more three-dimensional and fuller. It can’t be changed to make it worse, so what’s the point of making a remake, it’s better to be original, and you don’t have to be scolded by fans!”

Li Guoli didn't object, but just changed the subject and said, "Since Mr. Zhang has his own opinion on the candidate for the male lead, is there any good and suitable actor recommendation for the female lead?"

Zhang Jin said: "There are candidates for the heroine, but this actress is not well-known and is just a newcomer. I don't know if Director Li is interested or not."

"tell me the story?"

"I saw Chen Kun's name at the end of the list of leading actors. Presumably Director Li has also watched the recently popular "Golden Fan Family"?" Zhang Jin said.

The drama Family of the Gold Fans was originally supposed to start airing in March next year, but perhaps because of the butterfly effect, it was aired half a year earlier, and it has already aired [-] episodes.

Li Guoli nodded: "I've watched it a little bit. This drama is very popular on CCTV. If there are no better dramas in the future, this drama should surely win the annual ratings champion. Chen Kun has joined the male lead's candidate list."

"Then you should have noticed the actress in it too?"

"You mean the Miss Dong who played the heroine Leng Qingqiu?" Li Guoli said, "She has good acting skills and image. Do you want to recommend her, as Zhao Linger or Lin Yueru?"

Dong Jie to play Zhao Linger or Lin Yueru?
Zhang Jin couldn't imagine it, so he quickly shook his head and denied it: "No, I didn't recommend her, but another actress who played Bai Xiuzhu, Liu Yifei. Director Li, what do you think of her image?"

"The actor of Bai Xiuzhu?" Li Guoli was a little surprised when he heard the words, recalled it for a while, shook his head and said, "Her image is really good, but unfortunately her acting skills are not good."

"Indeed, when I saw her rivalry with the leading actor Jin Yanxi before, I felt that she couldn't handle the scene, and her aura was very suppressed. It's not as good as Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu's rivalry." An assistant director said.

Zhang Jin said: "Of course an actor with a major in acting is better than an actor without a major in acting, and this is her first time acting. I heard that she was admitted to Beijing Film Academy this year, and I believe her acting skills will improve. And currently she We are currently filming Tian Long Ba Bu, playing the role of Wang Yuyan, and even director Zhang is optimistic about her ancient costume style, I think we might as well invite her to try it out, maybe we will get the same unexpected harvest as Hu Ge."

Li Guoli exchanged opinions with several other assistant directors, nodded and said: "We can invite Liu Yifei to audition, but isn't she in the crew of Tianlong Babu? The time may be delayed."

"It doesn't matter. Whether or not a drama can achieve good results in the end, the casting of characters is very important. If the actors are not well selected, it is easy for the audience to play. In addition, the script must be well polished, and some logical errors must be eliminated. Don't let the audience Be a fool.

Also, the adaptation is not random, and the relationship between the characters in the plot cannot be decided out of thin air. For example, it is interesting to bring together unrelated characters and talk about a love triangle?

Finally, I told the art team and scene team that money should be spent where it should be spent, and the effect should be as good as possible. In terms of real scene construction, I have also bid for a piece of land in Xihong City, and let the construction team directly build the scene there. "

Zhang Jin told everyone earnestly and earnestly that he really wanted to do a good job of this drama.

The sincerity in his words also infected everyone present.

Yao Zhuangxian said with emotion: "It is indeed the right choice to hand over the film and television copyright of Immortal Sword to you!"

Li Guoli also patted the table and assured: "From Mr. Zhang's generous investment, we must do our best to make this drama a good one. In the past, it was always said that the funds were not enough to make the film effective. Now that the problem of funds is solved, if I spent a lot of money and still can't make a good TV series, I really have no place to put my face, I've been in the circle for so many years!"

An assistant director raised concerns: "It is a good thing to invest a lot of money, but in the current market it is difficult to say whether the investment cost can be recovered, let alone make money. Mr. Zhang, we have to explain this clearly to you in advance."

"Don't worry about making money or not, you just need to be responsible for filming the episodes." Zhang Jin waved his hand to let everyone feel at ease to create.

Let’s not say that he didn’t shoot Xianjian to make money, even if it’s at a loss at the moment, but as long as word-of-mouth gets better, wait until the market matures in a few years, and then make a big movie of Xianjian. Definitely just enough to fill you up.

Today's audition ended, Zhang Jin had dinner with the main creator of the crew, and gave some opinions and suggestions on the drama creation and pre-script discussion on the second day. On the third day, he left Hengdian and flew back to Xihong City.

The suggestions he gave were those that later generations complained more about. For example, it is not necessary to raise Liu Jinyuan's role as a supporting role to the level of a supporting role. It is enough to fill up Dieyi's role.

The main line of Liu Jinyuan's joining the protagonist's group is simply for the finale of the dead group to destroy the sensationalism. The meaningless pile of sensationalism is dog blood!

In the play, there is also a love triangle between Jiujianxian, Juggernaut and Wuhou Qing'er, which simply lowers the force of the three characters and ruins the character setting.Even if it is to enrich the characters of the three people and fill them with more flesh-and-blood stories, there is no need for such vulgar routines.The reason for writing this way is estimated to be largely due to limited funds and script rush, and I have no intention to write a storyline that is more in line with the characters.

In addition, what is different from the game is the relationship between Tang Yu Xiaobao and Anu. The love story between the two was originally created in the play.Tang Yu Xiaobao in the game is just a trick, Anu also likes Li Xiaoyao, and Anu's father is not a wine sword fairy.

However, the reason for promoting Liu Jinyuan's role is the same as before, the promotion of Tang Yu Xiaobao's role is also to pave the way for the final extermination of the drama.The audience will definitely not feel the death of a secondary actor, but if an important supporting role in the protagonist group dies, it will be different.

In addition, speaking of Jiu Jianxian, he should be the most handsome person in the whole game. The ordinary audience's impression of the prodigal son's heroic sword fairy's mission is a bit of Yan Chixia's shadow.

It's a pity that the play gave him a bloody and vulgar emotional line, which directly pulled the sword fairy in the sky into the mortal world and rolled into the mud.

The youthful stories of the Juggernaut and the Witch Queen are not mentioned in the game, and it is not impossible to create an original story of the two when they were young in the play, but perhaps another routine will be more flattering.

The new stories added to the game characters in the play basically follow a principle, those without love must create romance, and those with love must be intricate.

Perhaps this is the result of a special adaptation to take care of the audience of the TV series?no one knows!

However, since Zhang Jin wants to create the fairy sword IP, he naturally does not allow such a rough and crude script plot and character relationship. All three make up a romantic relationship.

For example, home country, world, common people, righteousness, etc., which one does not expand the plot more than love?And it is more in line with the character settings of the three!

A Xianxia TV series for young audiences cannot be without love, nor can it be only love!

Xianxia romance dramas are just the most stable way for capital to pursue stable interests, but Zhang Jin doesn't need it. With foresight and foresight preparations, which one isn't the big profits in the stock market and the World Cup spinach?
In addition, he directly vetoed the group ending in the first draft of the script!

Dead people can indeed move young audiences, but it doesn't mean that people who don't die can't be moved.

For example, in the original ending of the game, the scene of Lin Yueru hugging Li Yiru waiting for Li Xiaoyao's return in the snowstorm, isn't it touching!

There is a saying that is good, it is better to forget each other than to stay in the rivers and lakes.

Wouldn't such an artistic conception be more logically moving than the forced sensationalism of all the dead lights?

After a day of discussion, the opinions and suggestions put forward by Zhang Jin gave the screenwriters a collective headache. They did not expect this investor and nominal producer to be so difficult. After some discussion, they made 90.00% of the first version of the script. overturn rewrite.

After Zhang Jin left, some screenwriters couldn't help complaining to Li Guoli: "This Mr. Zhang is too exaggerated. It's just a TV series adapted from a game. You need to be so serious!"

To this, Li Guoli just replied lightly: "Don't you think it's exaggerated? When you invest in a drama with your own money, you can write the script whatever you want. No one dares to tell you what to do. Before that, you just If you can honestly do your job well, you can write whatever Mr. Zhang says!"

The screenwriter had no choice but to sigh: "It's great to be rich! I have to work on the draft all night again!"
