China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 316 Linkage of One Body and Two Sides [6.5K Chapter]

As the news gradually spread in the circle, more and more actors came to the audition for "Weird Man Yizhimei" in the last two days.

But most of them are below the second tier, and the only one who is more famous is Gao Fei's old acquaintance——Wan Qian!
It is said that since Wan Qian cooperated with Gao Fei once in "Search", she finally broke away from the status quo of being a little transparent in the circle, and she has appeared in many TV dramas one after another.

But these resources are not as good as the original "Search", so she rushed over to audition for "Looking for the Dragon" before.

And the subsequent development of the matter did not exceed her expectations, and Zeng Li really became popular with the role of "Ding Sitian".

For this matter, Wan Qian had been depressed for some time in private.

Therefore, even though Jing Ruyi is only the heroine of a story unit this time, Wan Qian still took the initiative to join in.

And seeing that she herself doesn't dislike the lack of roles, Gao Fei is naturally wishing for it.

After all, whether it is acting or fame, Wan Qian is the best candidate.

As for Tong Liya, who was originally recommended by Beiying, Gao Fei could only express his regret.

……

In this way, with the passage of time, the actors of "Weird Man Yizhimei" were finally assembled by Gao Fei.

In the most important Yizhimei group of four, except for Gao Fei and Liu Shishi.

The role of "Actor with Thousand Faces" He Xiaomei was taken by Ma Tianyu;

"Tianjiang Thief" Bupleurum was captured by Gao Fei's old acquaintance Shi Xinyu.

Originally, Gao Fei wanted to reserve a role for Zhao Liying, but he didn't expect that a film project called "On the Journey" would ask her to play the heroine, so Assistant Xiao Zhao immediately went to make a movie .

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei could only secretly sigh that the other party was blind.

However, he didn't waste this recommended spot, and directly approached Cui Peng, who had previously worked with the crew of "Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and planned to invite him to play the role of the villain Yan Shifan in the play.

In Gao Fei's view, villains also have levels.

Many people play villains too superficially, and Cui Peng's badness belongs to the more advanced kind.It can even make people ignore the three views and be led by his rhythm.

It's just that when he proposed this idea, Li Guoli, who had been silent before, hesitated a little.

Because Yan Shifan is clearly recorded in Ming history.

That is to say, "short item and fat body, with a single eye".

The translation is a one-eyed dragon with a fat body and a thick neck.

Therefore, Li Guoli was very puzzled that Gao Fei chose a handsome guy like Cui Peng to play Yan Shifan, who has such distinctive characteristics in historical records.

But in the end Goofy convinced him.

You must know that in such a well-documented main drama "Ming Dynasty 1566", the director changed Yan Shifan's historical image of being ugly, short and blind, and turned him into a handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Naturally, there is a reason for that .

Although ugly is closer to the real image of Yan Shifan in history, it is difficult to attract the audience, because no one will be fascinated by a star who looks disgusting to him.

And a charming villain image is actually very helpful to increase the ratings.

Just like when "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was broadcast, many ratings were directed at Cui Peng, the master of Wuhua.

As soon as this remark came out, Li Guoli had nothing to say.Because he is also an old man in the circle, he naturally knows that the villain can attract fans even if he shoots well.

It was only because Tang Ren started too many projects recently that they had limited energy, so they ignored this point.

Thinking of this, both Li Guoli and Cai Yinong couldn't help but feel a little rejoiced that it might not be a good thing to co-produce a TV series with Sohu and Gao Fei this time.

At least in the case of limited energy, they maintained the reputation of Tang Ren's excellent dramas.

Thinking about it this way, the cooperation between the two parties became more and more harmonious.

However, when the audition was about to end, there was a small oolong, which made Gao Fei lose a little bit.

how to say?

Because Gao Fei regarded Lu Yi who came to the audition as Tang Ren's artist, and asked her stupidly why she came to the audition, which made Lu Yi quite embarrassed.

In the end, after Liu Shishi’s explanation, Gao Fei knew that although Lu Yi only made her mark in the entertainment circle because of the role of Sai Jinhua in "Flying Immortals Beyond the Sky", and later collaborated with Tang Ren many times, she is really not Tang Ren's. An artist, because she signed with Ciwen long ago.

To some extent, her situation is quite similar to that of Ge You.

Many people think that Uncle Ge is an artist of Huayi, but in fact, his work unit has been an art troupe for so many years, and his manager is himself.

It has to be said that the world is big and full of wonders.

But fortunately, there are only these two weirdos in the circle, so Gao Fei can only feel that he took it for granted after being ugly for a while.

……

With the issue of casting and convincing the talents in place, Gao Fei no longer continued to intervene in the behind-the-scenes work in every detail, but instead quietly figured out the script. After all, his essential work is still an actor.

However, after fully studying the script of the male protagonist Li Gexiao, Gao Fei discovered that this character has a prototype in history.

Although it has undergone artistic processing by the screenwriter, Gao Fei still finds that Li Gexiao's character is a bit too similar to Shen Lian, the Jin Yiwei's experience during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that this Shen Lian was actually a scholar. When he was young, he went to study with Wang Shouren. Because of his strange temperament, Wang Shouren favored him very much.

And Shen Lian did not disappoint Wang Shouren's favor for him, and was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of 21.

Given his age at the time, it is not too much to say that the future is bright.

After all, it was not easy to take the Jinshi exam at that time, and most people were already in their thirties when they passed the exam, or they were almost in their prime.

There are even a very few unlucky ones, such as the famous Wen Zhengming who was well-known in the south of the Yangtze River, but he did not pass the Jinshi examination even after his sixtieth birthday.

Therefore, although they are both on the list, the future of most young Jinshi is better than that of the older group.

It's just that when it came to Shen Lian, something happened unexpectedly.

Perhaps it was because the first half of his life went too smoothly, so after Shen Lian became an official, his ordeals followed one after another.

Because he is upright and jealous of evil, he disdains to use money to make connections.

Therefore, even though Shen Lian had excellent achievements in the local government, he had successively served as county magistrates in Liyang, Chiping, and Qingfeng, and was not allowed to be promoted.

But if that's the case, it's okay, but he offended the local prominent family because of his governance of the region, and was finally framed by others, so he went to jail.

If it weren't for Emperor Jiajing's milk brother, Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, accidentally discovered his talent in prison, he might have embarked on the old path of a teacher.

It's just that he is a little worse than Wang Shouren.

Although Wang Shouren has reached the state of enlightenment in Longchang, at least his freedom is not restricted.

And although Yicheng is small, he is more or less an official!
Where Shen Lian became a prisoner directly, even if he wanted to imitate the teacher, he could only enlighten in prison.

Fortunately, Lu Bing, handsome man in Jinyi, was very kind to him. After discovering that Shen Lian was a talent, he not only cleared up his grievances, but also recruited Jinyiwei as an experience manager.

Shen Lian, who has a straight personality, also agreed because he was grateful for Lu Bing's kindness.

So just like this, a Jinshi, the goal of countless Ming scholars' efforts, entered the Jinyiwei, which was despised by many civil officials and Confucians, as an official.

This move is unique in the Jiajing Dynasty. It can be said that he has the highest education in the entire Jinyiwei.

It's just a pity that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Because of the deep friendship between Lu Bing and Yan Song's father and son, Shen Lian had to accompany Lu Bing to many banquets in the Yan Mansion.

Therefore, when Yan Shifan was domineering and domineering at the banquet and bullied others, Shen Lian, who had a strong personality, always sang against him.

Although Yan Shifan, the always arrogant Xiaoge old man, seldom swallowed his anger because he was concerned about Lu Bing's face, but after a long time, he no longer cared about Lu Bing's face.

So when Shen Lian went up several times to impeach Yan Song for being jealous of the virtuous and able, and corrupting the government, Yan Song and his son took the opportunity to play tricks in front of Emperor Jiajing, causing Shen Lian to be ordered to slander the minister and demoted to a commoner.

To a certain extent, Shen Lian's experience is a reflection of Emperor Jiajing's bewilderment in his later years.

It can even be said that the idea of ​​the whole script of "Weird Man Yizhimei" came from this Shen Lian.

For example, in the first story unit "The Birth of Myth", the 10 taels of gold that the imperial court rescued the victims in northern Hunan was robbed, and Li Gexiao formed Yizhimei to help. This plot is based on Shen Lian's real experience.

Just different from what was written in the script.

In the 33rd year of Jiajing, although a severe famine occurred in Xuanfu and Datong, which caused the price of rice to soar, and a large number of victims starved to death, with corpses strewn across the fields and no one to bury them, the court did not take out any so-called "10 taels" Instead of "gold" to help the victims, they just let the localities do their own relief.

Therefore, Shen Lian, who had been demoted to a commoner at that time, had no choice but to collect the bones by himself and open a porridge shop to help the victims.

I have to say that Tang Ren's screenwriter is quite lazy.

If Gao Fei hadn't been able to read the ancient "History of Ming Dynasty" without barriers, he might not have discovered this.

After all, "History of the Ming Dynasty" has 330 volumes. Before the vernacular version was compiled, it was really difficult for ordinary people to read it.

And in the real history, Shen Lian's end was much more tragic than Li Gexiao's.

Because even though he was demoted to a commoner, he still did not change his disposition of enmity, and often scolded the Yan family and his son in the direction of the capital.

So a few years later, Yan Shifan made another move.

So Shen Lian was wronged and beheaded. Two of his three sons were beaten to death and one was dispatched to the frontier.

Gao Fei didn't know if Tang Ren's screenwriter felt that Shen Lian's ending was too tragic, so he gave him a happy ending in the script.

But I have to admit that this method is indeed another way to make up for regrets.

At least Gao Fei felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart when he looked back at the script of "Strange Hero Yizhimei" after watching "History of the Ming Dynasty".

Because Li Gexiao did everything he couldn't and couldn't do.

In this way, it can be regarded as death without regret.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei suddenly felt something.

Maybe the notebook he revised earlier was really not in vain.

Because compared to Li Gexiao in "Strange Hero Yizhimei", perhaps Shen Lian in real history is more in line with the intriguing court stories he wrote.

Thinking in this way, Gao Fei immediately dug out the draft of the script that he almost destroyed last time, and began to revise it again with great interest.

For a time, writing was like a tide, and thoughts were like a spring.

……

the following afternoon.

Shanghai, Tang Ren's headquarters.

Facing Li Guoli's helpless eyes, Gao Fei explained quickly with some embarrassment:
"There's no need to make major changes. Just explain the origin of Li Gexiao's name when introducing Li Gexiao's past in the "Forget and Never Forget" story section later on."

"Let's say his real name is Shen Lian, but he promised his wife Jing Ruyi before her death that he would not be sad because of parting, and he would sing and laugh forever."

"So from the moment his wife left, Shen Lian was already dead, and there is only Li Gexiao in this world."

Speaking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help complaining:
"And the name Li Gexiao sounds like a joke!"

Hearing this, Li Guoli turned pale.

After all, no director would like an actor who changes the script at every turn.

In the meeting room, Cai Yinong, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

After all, the cast has been selected, and the process of Fu Huadao and scene selection is half done. If Gao Fei suddenly wants to change the script at this time, Cai Yinong will really go crazy.

And since the worst situation didn't happen, Cai Yinong thought about it, and then simply made a favor, so she immediately smiled and said:
"Okay, it's up to you."

"But you can just call for such a trivial matter, why bother to make a trip!"

Seeing what she said, Gao Fei showed a strange smile.

Seeing this situation, Cai Yinong suddenly felt flustered.

But before she could continue to ask, Gao Fei nodded slightly towards Han Li.

When Han Li got up and put the two scripts in front of the two of them, Gao Fei looked at Cai Yinong with a slightly raised mouth and said:

"Of course this trivial matter is not worth my traveling all the way."

"But if there are new cooperation projects, that's not necessarily the case."

After finishing speaking, Gao Fei calmly stretched out his hand towards the two of them and said:
"Two, take a look!"

Seeing this situation, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli had no choice but to temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts, and turned to look at the script in front of them.

……

At the same time, looking at the two people who were gradually showing shock, Han Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised a smug smile.

Even after watching Gao Fei's perfected movie script last night, she still had this expression.

To be honest, Han Li didn't know which string Gao Fei was touched again, but she had to admit that this version of the movie script after Gao Fei's changes was indeed much better than the original one.

However, although Gao Fei's initial creative impulse came from "Weird Man and Yizhimei", the atmosphere of the whole story of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is completely opposite to it.

One is free and easy, and the other is depressing and heavy.

The only thing the two have in common is that Shen Lian, as the leading actor, is very hardworking.

……

Soon, ten minutes passed.

After Li Guoli finished reading the script, he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he crossed his hands and propped his chin in thought.

Seeing this situation, Cai Yinong hesitated for a while before saying uncertainly:
"The content here... isn't it a bit too much?"

Although Tang Ren hasn't made a few movies, Cai Yinong has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years after all, so he still has some basic judgment skills.

If it hadn't been stated above that it was a movie script, in Cai Yinong's opinion, Gao Fei's script would be enough for TV dramas.

Seeing what she said, Gao Fei was not worried but happy, and immediately nodded with the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Mr. Cai has good eyesight. I am indeed planning to make two movies."

Originally, at the beginning, Gao Fei started writing from Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao's falling into the water. As for the villain, he was naturally the civil servant group headed by Yang Tinghe.

Just writing and writing, Gao Fei found that there was a lack of drama, because there were only two forces, so some things could be guessed at the end after reading the beginning.No matter how brilliantly Gao Fei writes about the means in the middle, it is futile.

So after flipping through "History of the Ming Dynasty", Gao Fei turned the background of the story to the Apocalypse Year.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, although many emperors encountered fires, the only emperors who fell into the water and died were Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Tianqi.

And some of the practices of the two fallen emperors are very similar.

Emperor Zhengde pretended to be passionate about martial arts, deliberately and absurdly named himself a general, and then went directly to the Nine Sides to lead the army under the name of "Mighty General Zhu Shou", thus bypassing the cabinet and the Ministry of War. Find another way to hold the military power of the most powerful frontier army in your hands.

And Emperor Tianqi played a trick of pretending to be insane.

Because at the beginning of his succession, "Donglin was very prosperous, and the court was full of people", so Zhu Youjian, who was only 16 years old, simply imitated his grandfather, Emperor Wanli.

Hey, isn't it Zhongzheng Yingchao?Then I might as well not go to court!
So Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youjian hid in the palace to do his carpentry work, allowing Wei Zhongxian to tear up with the Donglin Party outside.

Even though some people continue to call Wei Zhongxian the emperor, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of Tianqi, is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Because he knew that there was no room for eunuchs to rebel in the Ming Dynasty.

If he wanted Wei Zhongxian to die, he didn't even need to issue an imperial decree, all he needed was a verbal order.

On the contrary, those Donglin Party members have the ethos of the Five Dynasties and are very domineering!

And the final result also confirmed that Emperor Tianqi's strategy was effective.

Although he had only been in power for seven years, he was already in his own hands before he fell into the water.

After all, there is no eunuch party, but they are all imperial parties that cannot be tolerated by the Donglin party.

Although this speed is not as fast as Emperor Jiajing who took back power in three years, it is also very admirable.

You must know that the civil servants that Emperor Jiajing faced at the beginning of his succession were not as cunning and vicious as the Donglin Party.

So after adjusting his thinking, Gao Fei simply started talking about the period from Emperor Tianqi's fall into the water to his death.

Through the investigation of Jin Yiwei, the conspiracy behind the murder of the emperor is gradually revealed to the audience.

After this process, Emperor Tianqi's younger brother Xin Wang Zhu Youjian became a third-party force with an obscure position.

Because the civil official group wanted the carpenter emperor to die, but Wei Zhongxian's eunuch wanted the emperor to live.

In this way, it is intriguing to see what the letter king Zhu Youjian's position is.

Although they both fell into the water and died, it was impossible for Zhu Houcong, the king of Xingxian, to kill Emperor Zhengde, because even if the emperor died, he would not necessarily inherit the throne. There are too many uncertainties in this.

But the letter king Zhu Youjian is different, he is the emperor's younger brother.

Therefore, once the childless Emperor Tianqi died, his younger brother, King Xin, would surely succeed him.As a result, he was also suspected of killing the king.

The reason why Gao Fei wrote the stories of the two movies together is because they are actually telling the same thing.

That is - regicide!
……

At the same time, after listening to Gao Fei's explanation, Cai Yinong nodded suddenly.

Because Gao Fei said so, she found that these two stories are indeed in the same line.

And even if it is divided into two parts, the pre-regicide and the post-regicide, it does not affect the splendor of the single story itself.

Thinking of this, Cai Yinong couldn't help but look at Gao Fei more and more greedily.

Not greedy for his body, but greedy for his brain!
After all, Cai Yinong only fell in love with Gao Fei's appearance and acting skills at first, but he didn't expect Gao Fei's talent to be so amazing.

And just when Cai Yinong was becoming nympho, Li Guoli, who had been meditating all this time, finally spoke.

He looked at Gao Fei realistically and emotionally, and then said with regret:

"If I'm not wrong, you want to promote these two projects together?"

Hearing this, Gao Fei was taken aback for a moment, and then he gave Li Guoli a thumbs up in admiration and said:
"Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy! Admiration, admiration!"

Gao Fei really didn't expect that Li Guoli had already guessed what he was thinking before he said his purpose.

But it doesn't matter, after all, his idea is beneficial to both parties.

"Weird Man and Yizhimei" can use "Xiu Chun Dao" to increase its ratings, as well as the price of the broadcast rights for the first and second rounds, and Gao Fei can also use the popularity of the TV series to promote the movie.

And this time it's not like "Xian San" and "Xunlong Jue" have nothing to do with each other.

Because "Strange Hero Yizhimei" and "Embroidered Spring Knife" are both Shen Lian as the leading actor, to a certain extent, they can be said to be one body with two sides.

It's just that one talks about Jianghu, and the other talks about court.

And the difference between the Jianghu and the imperial court is sometimes nothing more than the difference between people's hearts.

The rivers and lakes, courts, only think about it in one thought!

……

Hearing this, Cai Yinong finally understood why Li Guoli looked regretful just now.

Because this is obviously a good project with high returns and low risks.

And because of Gao Fei's idea of ​​co-promoting this movie and the TV series, Tang Ren is fully qualified to enter the game.

However, it happened that Tang Ren was short of funds at this time.

Otherwise, it would not be so simple to agree to Gao Fei and Sohu to join the project of "Weird Hero Yizhimei".

Thinking of this, Cai Yinong's intestines were about to turn green with regret.

After all, for capitalists, less profit means loss.

Thinking that he lost the profits of a blockbuster movie, Cai Yinong suddenly wanted to die.

For a moment, he looked at Gao Fei with a somewhat unfriendly look.

After all, if it wasn't for Gao Fei, she wouldn't be in such pain now.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei was a little dumbfounded.

But he could understand Cai Yinong's mood, so he smiled and comforted him immediately:
"Mr. Cai, don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing this time."

Although Gao Fei's plan is beneficial to both parties, it was he who proposed it first after all.

So in order to show his sincerity, Gao Fei immediately said decisively:

"Didn't Lao Hu always want to act in a movie?"

"How about Jin Yichuan? The third of Jin Yiwei's three brothers is just the right age, and he can be regarded as a core figure."

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yinong's complexion improved a little.

And Li Guoli couldn't help but nodded slightly.

He is very open-minded, anyway, if the opportunity is missed, it is missed, but unfortunately it is useless.

It's a pity to have that time. It's better to think about whether I can make up for it in other ways.

I don't know if Cai Yinong heard what he was thinking, so after a moment of silence, she immediately said in a deep voice:

"Tang Ren can cooperate with your publicity plan, or you can give up the opportunity to invest, but just an old Hu is not enough, and Shishi must also be in it."

Hearing this, Gao Fei was not surprised.

After all, he had left room for bargaining when he spoke earlier.

Therefore, after Cai Yinong finished speaking, he intentionally pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded with a slight frown and said:

"Okay, although it's a bit difficult to do, but take it as my sincerity!"

Seeing what he said, Li Guoli and Cai Yinong finally smiled.

And when this consensus is reached, the remaining issues will be easy to handle.

Gao Fei and the others immediately discussed a rough plan, and in order to keep their actions consistent, they also set a clear timetable.

That is, before November next year, whether it is a movie or a TV series project, it must be completely completed.

Otherwise, all previous plans will be cancelled, and the untrustworthy party will be held accountable for breach of contract.

So just like that, Gao Fei, who hadn't been free for a few days, started to get busy again in a blink of an eye.

But this time it was purely his own fault...

　[Note]: When Lu Yang filmed "Cinema for the Blind" in 2009, he already had the prototype of the story of "Embroidered Spring Knife", and the script was written in 2010

　　The story of the movie "Embroidered Spring Sword" comes from "The Love of Okita Souji" by Japanese writer Shiba Ryotaro. Lu Yang was very touched after watching it.The original work is mainly based on the ordinary emotions of marginalized people. Under Lu Yang's pen, the core of the story becomes the marginal warrior's resistance to manipulating his own destiny. Love is still important, but it is not the core.

　　[So "Embroidered Spring Knife" after Lu Yang's modification, actually has two stories with "Okita Souji's Love", except for the role of Jin Yichuan, there is basically no similarity. 】
