The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 153 Zhang Jizhong's Screening

After opening "Handed down Masterpieces", Chen Shuo was not overly addicted to it.

Except for the daily morning exercise, when he will continue to deduce Lingbo Weibu, he still focuses on his studies at other times.

On June [-]st, Chen Shuo took Xiaohu and Chen Rui, who was also resting, to the playground with Shu Chang.

Although many people recognized him, none of them acted aggressively. Most of them just greeted him with a smile and chatted about the TV plot.

At most, a few people asked for his and Shu Chang's autographs, and most of them just turned their heads to look at each other, smiled at each other and played their own games.

In the evening, Shu Chang handed over the script she had transcribed to Chen Shuo for him to read, and the next day she went directly to Huairou to join the filming team.

Chen Shuo took Chen Rui to play for another day, and came back at night to read Xie Yushu's script.

It is indeed very short, Xie Yushu's first appearance was at Jin Yanxi's wedding, and fell in love at first sight with Jin Meili, the eighth sister of the Jin family.

Later, I met with Jin Meili for the reason of looking for Jin Yanxi, and the last scene was that the two walked side by side in the garden.

There are only seven or eight scenes in total, which are very short, but the plot design is also very clever.

Through these short scenes, a complete love story is told.

A few scenes are not difficult for Chen Shuo now, and he has already figured it out in one night.

"Dragon" crew.

Although the actors and actresses of the film crew have not been filmed yet, they are already very busy.

The location selection director ran around all over the country, just to be able to select suitable scenery.

According to Zhang Jizhong's meaning, each plot needs to have a different scene.

If you have a ready-made one, shoot the most natural scene, if not, make it yourself.

For this reason, they have already planned a Tianlong City early like they did when they filmed "Shooting the Condor".

After some screening, the crew decided to build Tianlong City in Dali, Yunnan Province. The architectural theme inside is the Dali Palace, taking into account the scenes of the Vulture Palace, Xixia Palace, and the Liao Kingdom Tent.

It will host most of the filming scenes of the play.

After dealing with these matters, Zhang Jizhong also began to care about the results of the interview.

He summoned Zhou Xiaowen, Ju Jueliang, Zhao Jian and others to watch the interview video together.

In the 80s, it was indeed more popular to audition actors. For example, the four popular masterpieces basically gathered all the outstanding actors in the mainland and then selected them.

Even in order to find an actor who fits the character, they will be selected in various provinces and cities and then screened out layer by layer.

But now, the pace of the times is gradually accelerating, and people don't have so much patience to pursue a request.

More is to choose your favorite and familiar actors to star in directly.

The most notable one is Gao Hu, who is not very famous now, but his performance in "Legend of Lu Buwei" won Zhou Xiaowen's favorite.

After Zhang Jizhong found Zhou Xiaowen to direct "Dragon", he was the first to recruit Gao Hu to play Xu Zhu.

Like Gao Hu, there is Ma Yuke, who was first decided by Zhou Xiaowen to play Duan Yu, but Zhang Jizhong did not agree.

Later, Zhou Xiaowen also discovered that Ma Yuke did have many shortcomings, but this drama will eventually have a role of him.

Although this audition has elements of drama and excitement, and it is very big, Zhang Jizhong still takes it seriously with the attitude of not missing a good actor.

All the main creators watched the interview videos of the past few days together.

Of course, they didn't read all of them one by one. Like some that obviously didn't fit, they just watched for a minute or two, or even changed them directly after ten seconds.

But there are also more outstanding ones, which let them finish watching without missing a single point.

This is similar to an art test, the test is an actor's popularity with the audience.

When your audience is excellent, even if you don't have any works, it will be remembered at a glance.

"This girl has shown Mu Wanqing's fierce and strong character." Zhang Jizhong looked at Liu Wen's interview video and asked suspiciously, "Where have I seen her?"

"Director Zhang, her name is Liu Wen. There is a popular character in "Xiao Shishilang" these days, maybe you have seen it by accident." The assistant on the side reminded.

"Maybe, I said some familiar ones, the temperament is indeed more in line with Mu Wanqing, and the looks are not bad.

Although it is not as amazing as described in the novel, it should be written down first. "

"Ok."

After watching for a while, Zhang Jizhong pointed to Shu Chang in the video and said: "This little girl named Shu Chang is very good.

My personality looks like a very quiet kid, but when acting, I am not restricted by my age and personality at all. "

"Very rare." Zhou Xiaowen nodded in agreement.

"It's more than that." An assistant director who was comfortable in the interview said: "I checked her information, and she starred in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" directed by You Xiaogang some time ago.

Afterwards, I consulted Director You and watched the clip of her playing Concubine Dong E.

I feel that she is really a talented actor. For a 15-year-old child, she can be said to be exciting when she acts in childbirth and tragic scenes. "

When the rest of the people heard it, their evaluation of Shu Chang immediately went up to a new level.

For a female character, if she plays the role of having a baby after giving birth, it can be called a real performance.

But if you have never been born, you will not feel the heart-piercing pain at all, and the performance will inevitably be a little fake.

And being able to perform and be convincing is not just a matter of talent.

Attitude and learning ability, etc., must also be outstanding.

"This is good, it can be selected as one of Zhong Ling's candidates." Zhang Jizhong said while changing the videotape.

"Okay." Naturally, the assistant director in charge of recording wrote it down.

In fact, it wasn't just Shu Chang. Among Zhong Ling's candidates was another candidate named Yang Bing, who also performed well.

Like Gao Hu and Ma Yuke, she was recommended by Zhou Xiaowen.

When watching the audition video of Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, Zhang Jizhong basically focused on the actor who auditioned Wang Yuyan.

It's not that he likes to see beautiful women, but that they already have an option in mind for Duan Yu's candidate.

On the contrary, Wang Yuyan has been vacillating all the time. Those online who say that they are looking for Song Hye Kyo and Kim Hee Sun are all fake.

They didn't even plan to use actors from Taiwan Island and Xiangjiang, but planned to find them in the mainland.

It's not just about being an actor, it's about reputation.

If actors from outside the mainland are chosen, even if the film is successful in the future, most of the cast will be given away by the actors.

It is even said that the success of Zhang Jizhong's version of "Dragon and Babu" is entirely due to the joining of actors from Xiangjiang, Taiwan, and Bangguo. It is not impossible.

He intends to make this drama a benchmark for Jinyong dramas in the mainland. After "Swordsman" was broadcast, he was ridiculed by the crowd, saying that it was not as good as Xiangjiang, which really made him angry for a long time.

So he would not consider any option that could detract from his honor.
