Chapter 8 The Omitted Audition
on the plane

Shen Yi is holding the script of Langya Bang and is studying it seriously.

When watching this drama in the previous life, Shen Yi's attention was focused on Mei Changsu played by Brother Hu.

He didn't pay special attention to Xiao Jingyan, the seventh son of the emperor.

However, as the second male lead in the play, his role is second only to Brother Hu, and the role of Xiao Jingyan cannot be ignored.

As a melon eater in his previous life, he didn't have a deep understanding of the characters in the play, he just watched a TV series, and most people only care about whether the TV is good or not.

Shen Yi is no exception!

The characters behind the characters in the play, who is full and has nothing to study?Not a professional film critic.

After carefully reading the script several times, Shen Yi has a certain understanding of Xiao Jingyan's role.

Overall, the guy is a good guy.

That's right, a good guy!
For ordinary people, the evaluation of a good person is nothing, but for a prince, it is fatal. This is the same as a woman telling a man that you are a good person.

For people in the royal family, a good heart is not necessarily a good thing.

Not only that, but Xiao Jingyan's character is not satisfactory.

It may be that he has been in the border area for a long time and often deals with military generals, so Xiao Jingyan's personality is similar to many generals, not to mention his bad temper, and he is easily impulsive when encountering problems.

Although he values ​​love and righteousness, and has principles and a bottom line in doing things, for a prince, these in themselves are a kind of bondage.

Of course, it is a good thing to have principles and bottom lines, and it is better than people without bottom lines and principles.

Even the emperor is like this!

The most deadly point about Xiao Jingyan is that he accepts death.

Once the matter is identified, ten cows can't be pulled back, such as the case of the Red Flame Army back then, this kind of incident involving conspiracy, no matter what the reason behind it is, whether he was wronged or not, as a prince, he will not It should be against the emperor in court.

To put it bluntly, this is called not fearing imperial power, emphasizing love and righteousness.

To put it bluntly, it is a political idiot.

Such a person, if it is not necessary for the plot, let alone the throne, even the status of the prince cannot be kept.

If it was placed in the Qing Dynasty, with the scene of multiple heirs in Kowloon, I am afraid that he would be killed before it even started.

Appearance method: The emperor's seventh son died on a certain month in a certain year...

This kind of person is not suitable to be an emperor at all, and Mei Changsu chose to assist him, probably because he was short and tall.

In Mei Changsu's own words, he had no choice.

Xiao Jingyan was willing to rehabilitate the Chiyan Army, so he was ignored by Emperor Liang and exiled from the court for 12 years.

If it wasn't for this reason, how could Mei Changsu be willing to help a political idiot like Xiao Jingyan?

Generally speaking, the role of Xiao Jingyan is not difficult to play.

The character of the characters is very clear, it is right to go all the way.

……

"Director Kong, Director Li, I kept you waiting for a long time."

After getting off the plane, Zhao Ruiyao took Shen Yi to the hotel where Kong Sheng and Li Wei were staying, and there was no delay on the way.

Shen Yi is not very familiar with the two directors of Langya Bang, and he couldn't remember any works of the two before coming here.

He can't be blamed for this, because domestic TV drama directors are generally not very famous, and it is only Scorpion Baba who can be as famous as Zhang Jizhong.

The relatively well-known directors in the entertainment industry are basically filmmakers, such as Feng Dapao, Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige, Du Qifeng, Wang Jianwei, Tsui Hark, Chen Sicheng, Ning Hao.
The main business of these great directors is making movies.

Shen Yi is the only one familiar with the works of the two.

It was introduced to him by Zhao Ruoyao before, and the two co-directed the historical war drama 'All Quiet in Peking' last year.

And Shen Yi had only heard of this drama in his previous life, but had never watched it. He couldn't comment on whether the specific plot was good or not.

However, directors who can generally direct such historical war dramas will not be too bad at directing.

Therefore, in front of the two directors, Shen Yi behaved very honestly, and quickly greeted them: "Hello, Director Kong, and Director Li!"

"That's right, I'm as handsome as in the video!"

Kong Sheng and Li Wei sized up Shen Yi, looked at each other, and nodded in satisfaction.

Generally speaking, if the male lead is too handsome, it is easy to steal the leading actor's role, so many directors will not assign an actor who is more handsome than the lead actor to be the lead male lead.

However, Langya List is different.

The male protagonist is the famous ancient costume male god Hu Ge, no matter how handsome Shen Yi is, he can't steal the limelight from Hu Ge.

"I heard from Yang Mi that you want to play the male number two Xiao Jingyan?"

"Yes, Director Kong, I think this role is more suitable for me, that's why I want to play Xiao Jingyan."

"Then can you act?"

"No, when I was a trainee in Korea, I only took a few acting classes, and I didn't have any experience in filming."

"It's pretty honest. I don't pretend to know what I don't know. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to act. Director Li and I will teach you how to act."

"However (Elder Yinla...)"

"Don't worry, Director Kong, I don't have any other work arrangements other than filming Langya Bang."

"During the filming of Langya Bang, the two of you can arrange my time as you like, and I promise to be on call 24 hours a day."

When Kong Sheng heard this, he nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't respond immediately, but shifted his gaze to Zhao Ruiyao, wanting to hear what she meant.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruoyao couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "Director Kong, Director Li, don't worry, Shen Yi attaches great importance to the drama Langya Bang, so we will do our best to arrange his itinerary so as not to delay the filming."

Although there is a certain gap between what Zhao Ruiyao said and Shen Yi's statement, as long as they don't delay the progress of filming and ask for a few days off occasionally, the two of them will not say anything.

After all, Shen Yi has just returned to China, and no matter how little the schedule is, it is impossible to stay on the set all day long.

The two just want an attitude, and the attitudes of Shen Yi and Zhao Ruiyao are quite satisfactory to them.

"Well, we'll sign the contract in a while."

"Tonight's crew dinner, Shen Yi, you will also participate. Tomorrow's opening ceremony, as the male number two, you must not be absent."

Kong Sheng directly omitted the audition!
Just now Shen Yi has said that he has only taken a few acting classes and has no acting experience, so what else is there to try?
Originally, he and Li Wei didn't expect Shen Yi to have any acting skills, and everything was just for the traffic and popularity of the other party.

Everyone takes what they need, there is nothing to talk about.

Langya Bang can be regarded as Hu Ge's transformational work. Many actors are not good at maneuvering. Hu Ge has never played a similar role before, so the two directors are a little worried.

Want an extra layer of insurance!
In recent years, Brother Hu has not had any blockbuster works, and he has been relying on the foundation of Xianjian. Now that the domestic traffic is in full swing, it would be absolutely false to say that the two of them are not attracted.

I didn't think about it before, mainly because I couldn't find anyone. Now Shen Yi took the initiative to send it to my door, so naturally I couldn't let it go.
