Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 515 Casting (seeking a monthly ticket)

"Yo, Xiao Wang, your hair grows really fast."

Yu Yu entered the box, saw Wang Hailin's hair at a glance, and laughed and teased.

"..."

Afterwards, Wang Hailin, who had a depressed face, introduced Yu Dong with a smile, "Boss, this is director Kong Shengkong, and this is director Gao Xixi."

"Hi, you guys, how did you go all the way?" Yu Dong smiled and shook hands with the two, then pointed to Wang Hailin and said, "This is my student, Wang Hailin, who is also a signed screenwriter of Deep Space Company."

"Hello, two teachers."

"Hello, hello." Gao Xixi smiled and said, "You should be from Jinyi's first drama creation class. I've heard about your class. In the short film competition held in deep space before, your class was the winner. A lot of limelight."

Kong Sheng also nodded: "Well, I also know about the Deep Space Short Film Contest. I have watched the award-winning work "The Tuner" several times. I was really surprised when I heard that it was filmed by a student who hadn't graduated yet."

Yu Dong greeted with a smile, "Take a seat, let's sit down and chat."

After sitting down, Yu Dong looked at the two people in front of him with a smile.With these two people, plus Zhao Baogang, I am afraid that no one will be able to compete with Deep Space Company in domestic TV dramas in the future.

Among Gao Xixi's TV dramas, there are two that impressed Yu Dong deeply, one is "Happiness is Like a Flower" and the other is "The Sky of History".Later, he also made a remake of "Three Kingdoms", but Yu Dong didn't see much of his version, so it's hard to comment.

As for Kong Sheng, he is almost a representative of high-quality TV dramas. His TV dramas such as "All Quiet in Peking", "Parents' Love", "Crossing the Guandong", and "Great Rivers" all left a deep impression on Yu Dong.

Kong Sheng was only two years older than Gao Xixi, but when they sat together, they looked as if they were a generation behind.Kong Sheng is a little rough, and his appearance is rough, but he is tall and thin, white and clean, and looks young.

Then Yu Dong asked a few words what the two of them are busy with recently. He heard Gao Xixi said that he was preparing for the filming of "Swordsman" recently, and Yu Dong asked him again: "When will this show be filmed? It's about our time." Is there a conflict?"

"Probably not, "Swordsman" won't start filming until October and November."

Yu Dong nodded, "Director Gao, you seem to be very interested in military films."

Gao Xixi said with a smile: "It's a kind of youthful plot. I have been full of curiosity and longing for military life since I was a child. I am afraid that it is unrealistic to serve as a soldier. I just want to shoot something related to the military. Of course, My qualifications are still young, and I don’t have enough shooting experience in this area.”

"It's good. Although military movies seem to be out of the public eye these few years, I believe it will always be the mainstream."

"But from a commercial point of view, it is indeed difficult for current military films to attract audiences." Gao Xixi said with emotion.

Yu Dong said with a smile: "I think that the failure to attract the audience should not be entirely due to the subject matter. As practitioners of literature and art, we must also introspect ourselves, whether something has gone wrong with us."

Gao Xixi and Kong Sheng didn't expect that the topic would shift to military subjects when they just started chatting, but they were also quite interested in this topic.

Kong Sheng held his chin, pulled his sparse beard again, and said, "Actually, the domestic military-themed TV dramas in the past two years are not that bad, at least they have made some progress. Like "The Rise and Fall of the Tide", "Peace "The Era", the response is quite good, much better than the situation in previous years, at least some trends can be seen, and everyone has begun to have some new perspectives when making this kind of TV series, which has produced a fundamental change."

Yu Dong nodded. Kong Sheng was right. After a period of exploration, domestic military-themed TV dramas have indeed undergone some changes. As someone who has experienced it, he knows that these few years will be a transitional period, and it will be a period of prosperity for military dramas. transition period.

It is also because the world structure has changed a lot in recent years, and everyone pays more attention to military news, so military themes naturally have some soil for survival.

After going through this transition period, the military theme will usher in a big explosion and move towards real prosperity.

The reason why Yu Dong talked about the military theme with them was also because he hoped to develop this theme as soon as possible and push forward on the basis of the original history.He suddenly thought of a saying about "cultural territory". In the process of cross-cultural communication, we should try our best to defend the excellent traditions of local culture and promote the healthy temperament of our national culture.

And excellent military-themed film and television dramas can do exactly this, and can hold the cultural territory of the nation in the hearts of the people.

Yu Dong said this to Kong Sheng and the others today because he wanted to plant seeds in their hearts and pave the way for future plans.

At this time, Gao Xixi also spoke: "Look for innovations in the selection of angles and expression techniques, and break away from the shackles of model dramas. As long as the spirit of the military can be extracted, this type of theme will naturally have a good prospect. Now there is another The problem is that the shooting of military themes and the limitations of the shooting team. Military dramas are different from ordinary TV dramas. If you want to pursue reality, you must shoot on the spot, which involves the military.”

Yu Dong said with a smile: "Deep Space is also starting to do this work."

The corners of Kong Sheng's eyes twitched slightly, he didn't expect Shen Kong to actually do this.In fact, in his opinion, as a private company, Deep Space can completely avoid such themes and shoot some TV series that people love to watch, so as to catch the ratings immediately.

Just like the two TV series they watched today, although they haven't been filmed yet, Kong Sheng can be sure that they are definitely popular among the public, and they may cause a wave of trends.

At the same time, Kong Sheng also admired Shenkong Company. They certainly did not do such a thing just to make money, but also had a higher pursuit. This also made him have a better understanding of Shenkong Company and Yu Dong. good impression.

Kong Sheng looked at people, but never at fame. Although Yu Dong was a well-known writer and his works were well-known at home and abroad, the sum of all his works might not be as good as what Yu Dong did.

Of course Yu Dong didn't lie to them, the Deep Space Company had indeed contacted the army.

Among other things, "Party A and Party B" which is being filmed will cooperate with the army, and all the tanks used in the movie are real ones.Of course, the army will simply agree to help the deep space, and China Film will also play a role in the middle.

After Yu Dong chatted with the two about the military theme, he went back to "Love Through Time and Space" and "Oolong Breaks Through Love".

After chatting, he felt more at ease with the two of them.

He had some doubts before, fearing that the two of them would not be able to handle this kind of subject matter, but now it seems that as long as the script is well written, they will definitely be able to shoot the TV series in an authentic way.

At the end of dinner, Yu Dong chatted with Kong Sheng about the casting.

He and Kong Sheng recommended Xu Zheng to play the male lead. As for the female lead, he recommended several girls from 96 and Li Bing.

……

"Hu Jing, wake up soon."

In the girls' dormitory, the eldest sister Mei Ting stood beside Hu Jing's bed, pinched her waist and called her.

Hu Jing covered her head with the quilt, "Isn't there no class this morning? What are you doing up?"

"Just now the class monitor came over and said that Teacher Yu summoned us to the classroom."

"Ah." Hu Jing complained, "It's Judge Yu again! It's not enough for him to torture us in his own class, he also takes up our rest time."

Mei Ting made a silent gesture, "Be careful, if Teacher Yu hears you calling him a nickname, you will definitely suffer."

"Could he still have a smooth ear?"

Hu Jing complained unconvinced, but her voice became smaller and smaller, and she didn't dare to mention it to the judge again.

Then under Mei Ting's supervision, Hu Jing got up from the bed like a worm, washed up and followed Mei Ting to the classroom.

When I arrived in the classroom, almost all the students in the class were present.

Yu Dong was quite famous in school, and the students were more afraid of him, even if he was summoned temporarily, they would not dare to be late.

At exactly nine o'clock, Yu Dong and Kong Sheng arrived at the classroom on time.

He roughly glanced at it, and then said, "I'm sorry, I called you here temporarily today, which delayed your rest."

"Mr. Yu, don't say that, we are wasting your time." Zhang Changjiang said with a smile.

Hu Jing glanced at Zhang Changjiang, and muttered, "A sycophant."

Yu Dong smiled, and then introduced Kong Sheng to them, "This is Mr. Kong Sheng next to me. I came here today because there is a TV series that needs actors. I want to come and see if there are any students who are suitable."

Kong Sheng came here today not only to see the heroine, but also to choose some other roles, so Yu Dong asked the whole class to come, regardless of gender.

When they heard that a director came to cast a role, the students were a little excited and began to whisper, and the classroom became lively.For students, there is nothing more attractive than to let them act in television.

Yu Dong patted the table, "Be quiet and let Teacher Kong talk to you."

When the classroom became quiet, Kong Sheng cleared his throat and stepped forward, "Hi everyone, I am Kong Sheng. As Teacher Yu said, I came here for a TV casting. I will send everyone a message later." A number plate, and then you go to another classroom according to the number plate. It may take a long time, so students with lower numbers can choose to move freely first, instead of waiting here all the time. I, like Teacher Yu, do not want to delay everyone Too much time."

Kong Sheng's words were very simple. After he finished speaking, he whispered a few words to Yu Dong, and then began to distribute number plates to the students.

Today is actually just a preliminary selection. According to Kong Sheng's idea, first choose a general idea, and have an impression in my heart. After making a few outfits later, I will have another audition in a serious manner.

It’s a bit more troublesome to cast costumes in ancient costumes. It’s easy to miss the audition with modern makeup.
