What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 168

Yang Shu was deeply impressed by a line from Sherlock in the British drama "Sherlock": "Smartness is a new kind of sexy."

That quote perfectly exemplifies the popularity of The Beginning, a mind-bending drama that's easy to immerse yourself in.

The investment in "The Beginning" is not large. It can be regarded as a medium-produced web drama, but the cast of the original work is not weak. Liu Tao, Huang Jue, and Liu Yijun are all stars, and Liu Dan is also an old drama player.

The two young leading actors were both newly popular and promising actors at the time. Of course, they sought so many big names for the sake of praise.

The three founding fathers of Wonderful Studio have always written, directed, and acted by themselves to praise themselves. They have never participated in other people's plays, nor have they praised others.

After reading the script, Liu Man had some concerns: "Our film is about a bombing case, so it might be too sensitive. I remember that there seemed to be similar cases in the past two years, and many people were killed or injured."

Yang Shu is not worried about the issue of auditing: "The crimes shown in film and television dramas can basically find similar cases in reality. Only by remembering the past and the future will the alarm bells keep ringing to avoid recurrence."

Liu Man smiled and shook her head: "Your answer is formal enough, I am in awe of it."

Yang Shu didn't worry about this, of course, because this drama was successfully broadcast five years later, and the trend of censorship of online dramas is becoming more and more strict, and it will gradually start to synchronize with the standards of TV dramas. It makes no sense that it cannot be broadcast now.

"The key is to ensure the quality and use the right person," Yang Shu assigned the role: "When I was writing the script, I imagined who would play it."

"This is your first series directing work. Of course, Shishi can't be idle. If you direct her to act, she must be the heroine."

Liu Man looked clear: "I saw that the heroine's name is Li Shiqing, so I knew you wrote this play for Shishi."

This is a coincidence, but Yang Shu kept the name, obviously on purpose.

"This play was written for you, there's no denying that."

"Okay, don't explain so much, what do you think about other characters?"

"Zhang Cheng, the deputy captain of Jialin City's criminal investigation, capable and clear-headed, is an old criminal policeman with strong analytical and reasoning skills. I want to ask Liu Yijun to cover it up. He is the one who plays Ning Guohou Xieyu in "Langya Bang". "

Of course Liu Man recognized it, and was a little surprised: "Why did you think of him? Most of his roles are villains."

"No reason, I naturally remembered it when I was writing it. I like the military command agent Venomous Bee played by him in "The Pretender". He looks cruel and suspicious by nature."

"But isn't this character the deputy captain of criminal investigation?"

"Can criminal investigators not be suspicious?"

"Sounds reasonable, what about the others?"

"This Du Bureau Du Jinsong, the deputy director of the Jialin City Public Security Bureau, is the main person in charge of the explosion task force. He has a serious appearance and a calm heart. I want to invite your sister to play the role?"

Liu Man's eyes widened: "My sister?"

"Yes, your sister, how many sisters do you have? I'm talking about the one named Liu Tao."

"Are you kidding, can my sister play the role of the police chief? She is suitable for ancient costumes, and white-collar workers in foreign companies are also fine. The chief should have a dignified look, right?"

To be honest, Liu Tao is indeed a bit unsuitable to play the role of the police chief. After this point was broadcast, countless people complained that she dared to take on any role, and her acting was nothing like it, especially the mushroom-like wig, which looked a bit silly. .

Ke Tao frowned and "prepared for a drug test", Yang Shu was really reluctant to give up.

In fact, the role of the deputy director is not a particularly critical role in this drama. There is no test of acting skills, as long as he maintains a majestic state at all times, he can complete the task.

Maybe Sister Tao really doesn't match "Majesty", that's why everyone is not used to it. Liu Man thinks it's a bit outrageous even before acting.

Yang Shu forcibly explained: "This is how I think about it. Your sister has many years of experience in acting and has basically tried various roles, so it is a very good attempt for her to challenge the deputy director. .

In fact, this is not a difficult role to play. I believe she can handle it very well. If she succeeds, it can be regarded as accumulating experience and broadening her acting skills. It can be regarded as honing her acting skills. "

"It's okay to hone in on it. Your big principles are useless. Did you ask my sister if she would like to act?"

"It's just been written, and I haven't had a chance to ask. Besides, you are the director or her sister. If you want to ask, you should ask."

During this period, Yang Shu and Sister Tao had little contact. At the end of last year, he decided to buy Tiange Media. He asked Liu Man to ask Sister Tao and Sister Qin for their opinions, which made her angry.

"Why did you ask Manman to ask me, is it so difficult for you to make a phone call by yourself? What do you mean?"

Yang Shu had no other intentions, but Sister Tao thought he was alienating, so she ignored him.

Ignore it and ignore it, anyway, he is very busy now that he has a new love, and he can't do two things.

Sister Tao is also quite busy during this period. In addition to rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala, she and Sa Beining are also the guest judges of the CCTV family carnival reality show "Happy Chinese". They are actually the hosts.

She didn't take on new dramas after filming "The Great Military Advisor Sima Yi's Military Division Alliance" and "Ode to Joy 2" last year. She became addicted to variety shows, and only finished Zhejiang Satellite TV's "Comedy Story", followed by "Happy Chinese" , so there is no time to talk to poplar.

However, she told Liu Man that it was a good thing to buy Tiange Media. This company has already established a reputation in the industry, and it is worthwhile to spend [-] million to buy it.

Liu Man made a suggestion: "Or let Sister Qin play Du Ju, I think she should be more suitable to wear a police uniform."

Yang Shu stroked his chin and thought for a while: "Sister Qin's serious face is indeed more serious than your sister's. With her hair tied up and a police uniform on, she might have no chance of sneaking into the Public Security Bureau. She can get paid after a few days of work."

"What nonsense are you talking about, how do you decide?"

"Let's think about this again. It's mainly because using your sister is more of a gimmick. It's too similar sometimes so it's not topical."

"Okay, put it aside for now, what about the others?"

"The bus driver Wang Xingde, the mastermind of the bombing, is a very important role. I want to ask Huang Ju to play it?"

"Huang Ju? The one who played "Long Live Love" with my sister?"

Huang Ju is a handsome guy, Xu Jinglei's ex-boyfriend, and has cooperated with sister Tao more than once.

Three years ago, the two co-starred in the spy war series "Mystery 1927". One played a patriotic police detective and the other played a female spy.

In addition to filming "Ode to Joy" last year, Sister Tao collaborated with Huang Jue in "Long Live Love". She played a "three high goddesses" with high education, high salary, and good looks, and Huang Jue played a down-and-out capital city North Drift.

This drama only started broadcasting on Zhejiang Satellite TV at the end of last year, and it was broadcast on LeTV Video at the same time. It has not yet finished broadcasting.

"That's right, it's that Huang Ju. I think it's suitable to make him a bit more miserable and play a preoccupied bus driver."

"I think you are very fascinated by the people you employ in this drama. Didn't you watch "Long Live Love" last night, and you are here to join me today?"
