The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 362 Character Selection (Addition: 2025)

"Fourth brother, Jin brother, Bo brother... Hello everyone!" Shu Chang got up and greeted everyone one by one.

"Hi Chang Chang!" As for her, everyone was familiar with her when they took pictures of Shuiyuedongtian together, and everyone greeted her with a smile.

Chen Shuo and the others were not surprised by the company's new signings. In fact, they had expected it since the last reform meeting.

Dozens of dramas, not to mention that they don't have the time to participate in all of them, so what if they do?It's better to grab one or two good characters and shape them seriously.

"Since everyone can understand, let's move on to the next item, Xiaolou."

Hearing this, Shan Xiaolou cleared his throat, took a document and said, "From now on, throughout the first half of 04, our company will co-produce four dramas.

They are "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Phantom Needle", "No. [-] in the World", and "The Unruly Princess".

Among them, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" started shooting in February of the new year.

The rest of "No. 4 in the World" and "The Unruly Princess" will start filming in April, and "Phantom Needle" will start filming in mid-May.

You guys have to think about which drama and which character to focus on. "

On the side, her assistant Wu Xiaowan distributed the materials to everyone, and she continued: "Here are the specific information of the four dramas, you can take a look first."

Chen Shuo took the information and looked through it. There are four copies in total, which are the information of the four dramas.

However, there is more or less information about each drama, and the most detailed one is "Xianjian", and the most concise one is not "Phantom Needle", but "No. [-] in the World".

He was not in a hurry to watch "Sword of Immortal Sword", but opened "Number One in the World" first.

There are only two pages in total, and the first page is a script outline.

The important minister of the Ming Dynasty, Hou Zhu, the Tiedan God, ignored his great talent and strategy, and had the world in mind. He established the famous "Hulong Villa" to protect the country and the people.

There are four spies under his command: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.

From "Thousand Characters" "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, Universe Prehistoric, Sun and Moon Prosperity, Chen Su Lie Zhang".

At that time, the power of the government was controlled by Cao Zhengchun, the chief eunuch of the East Factory.

The ambitious Cao Zhengchun is powerful and powerful. He has practiced "children's martial arts" to great success, and his martial arts are world-renowned.

In order to monopolize the power of the imperial court and finally seek to usurp the throne, Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi swore to be against each other, and they always looked for opportunities to eradicate Hulong Villa.

Zhu Wushi was determined to protect the country and the people "on the side of the Qing Dynasty", and put Cao Zhengchun under the law to protect the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty.

……

The second page is the crew and role information.

The four secret agents of heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, the god of iron courage Zhu Wushi, Cao Zhengchun...

The content is very simple, with only a short introduction for each character.

This is not so much a script as an idea.

Let others bring it over, no one will read it at all, but if you see the information of the main creators, it will be different.

Producer, Producer, Supervisor, Screenwriter: Wang Jing
Seeing this name, Chen Shuo knew that there was no need for a perfect script for this drama.

Wang Jing, a screenwriter, worked as a producer, producer, actor and other professions.

Since entering the industry in the mid-70s, he has produced countless works, including "Nine Grades of Sesame Official", "God of Gamblers", "The Deer and Ding Ji", "Tricky Expert", "City Hunter" and other excellent works.

Of course, there are more bad movies, as if this label has become synonymous with him.

But there is one thing, his works rarely lose money.

He even said that he lost a lot of money on the films he made well, but many of the films he put together casually made money.

Starting from this year, Wang Jing is going to officially shift the focus of his work to the mainland, and has prepared several works in one go.

Among them, Zhouyi Film and Television took a fancy to this opportunity and participated in the production of this "No. [-] in the World" and another "Little Fish and Flowers".

Wang Jing started out writing scripts, and Zhou Yi Film and Television also started writing scripts.

Don't be afraid if you don't have a script, just write it. A bunch of screenwriters in Zhou Yi are gearing up and waiting to be fed.

With Wang Jing as the supervising producer, this drama is at least fully commercialized and fits the business plan of investing and making money.

Needless to say, "Phantom Needle" is the first TV series written by Yuyue, and the company cooperates with director Ju Jueliang.

And "The Unruly Princess" is jointly invested and produced with Didu Yahuan Video and Yangcheng Superstar Films.

This cooperation was facilitated by the director Sun Taiquan of Yangcheng TV Station.

After looking through these two dramas, Chen Shuo began to focus on "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

There is still time for the others, but this one is about to start filming.

And the information in this book is also the most complete.

Although it is still very crude, at least the specific story framework can be seen.

Similarly, each character is also divided.

The male protagonist Li Xiaoyao, 19 years old, is a second child in a fishing village shop. He is upright, kind, helpful, and filial.

The heroine Zhao Ling'er, 16 years old, has been isolated from the world since she was a child. She looks like a refined girl with a white lotus in a pool. She follows her grandmother to live in seclusion on the fairy island to avoid the pursuit of her enemies.

Lin Yueru, 18 years old, the daughter of Lin Tiannan, the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, is a self-willed and savage female swordsman.

Anu, 14 years old, the daughter of the patriarch of the Bai Miao nationality, has a tricky and lively personality, innocent appearance, and creepy methods of using witchcraft and poison.

These are the four protagonists in the play and the game.

In addition, the script increases the roles of Tang Yu Xiaobao and Liu Jinyuan, so that their weight is not much worse than that of the protagonists.

Tang Yu, adopted son of Elder Guoshi of Nanzhao, likes Anu.

Liu Jinyuan, the champion of the dynasty, Lin Yueru's cousin, likes Lin Yueru.

After a rough look at the plot, Chen Shuo found that, apart from the same main mission, the changes are still very large.

"Papapa~" Shan Xiaolou clapped his hands and said, "Everyone has almost finished watching, now let's talk about "Legend of Sword and Fairy" first."

Seeing everyone put away the things in their hands, looked at her, and continued: "Because we obtained the copyright of this drama with Tang Ren and produced it together.

Therefore, basically the important role is determined by our mutual discussion.

First of all, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger, these are absolute male and female protagonists, we plan to present suitable candidates for interviews.

At that time, our Director Jiang and Li Wenyan, together with Tang Ren's Director Cai and Director Li Guoli, will decide on the right candidate.

Then go and show it to Mr. Yao, who is known as the father of Immortal Sword.

In addition, the roles we can assign include Liu Jinyuan, Juggernaut, Jiang Ming, and Nvyuan, who have more roles.

Some other characters such as Tang Yu, Jiu Jianxian, Lin Qing'er, and Caiyi belong to Tang Ren.

Part of the Moon Worshiping Leader and Holy Aunt needs to be interviewed with Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger.

As for the two roles of Lin Yueru and Anu, they need to be assigned to Heavy Rain.

If you have any ideas, you can mention them. "

Yu Bo flipped through the character information, and said firstly: "My appearance is definitely not suitable for fighting for Li Xiaoyao, so I just want the role of Juggernaut.

When preparing for "Phantom Needle", I will fight for the role of Jin Cheng again. "

Shan Xiaolou nodded and said, "Okay." Write Yu Bo's name on the back of the Juggernaut column.

The second person to speak was Zhang Jin. Hearing Yu Bo's choice, his heart moved, and he said, "I also don't think I'm suitable for Li Xiaoyao, so I won't cause trouble. I'll choose Jiang Ming.

Then I want to try Guihai Yidao in "No. [-] in the World". This character is both good and evil, cruel and cruel, and I think it suits me better. "

Shan Xiaolou nodded, and asked Yang Junyi: "Do you want to try, Xiaosi?"

"No." Yang Junyi shook his head and said, "I'll choose Liu Jinyuan, and try Zhu Yun or Bai Yunfei in "The Unruly Princess" when the time comes."

"Okay." After Shan Xiaolou wrote it down, he looked at Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei and said, "Then Shuoshuo and Qianqian, you two should try Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger."

"What about Chang Chang?" Liu Yifei looked at Shu Chang and asked.

Now that Shu Chang has just joined Zhouyi Film and Television, did he not arrange a role?

She felt that, based on acting skills alone, Shu Chang could definitely play the role of Zhao Ling'er.

"You don't have to worry about that." Shu Chang hugged her arm and said with a smile: "I have my own role, and it's the heroine that has already been decided!"

Chen Shuo and others couldn't help but look at her when they heard the words. Does the company have any new plays?
If it's "No. [-] in the World" and "The Unruly Princess", even if you play Zhao Ling'er, it won't be a delay, right?
Shan Xiaolou said: "Director Yu Mingsheng took a fancy to her acting skills and asked her to play the heroine Xiaoyu in "Lotus Lantern".

This drama was cast and filmed by the International Television Corporation, and it is undoubtedly a big production. "

Yu Mingsheng, Chen Shuo and others are not familiar with them, but the International Television Corporation knows it, and it is a company with a proper Chinese prefix.

"Awesome, Chang Chang!" Chen Shuo couldn't help admiring.

Shu Chang smiled and said: "The main reason is that Director Yu likes Cao Jun very much, he is looking for Liu Chenxiang to play this drama, and he wants to find a suitable age and acting skills to play the heroine.

Finally, when he saw me playing Zhong Ling and Tianshan Child Elder, he felt that I was suitable for the role and had acting skills, so he came to me. "

Liu Yifei hugged her and praised: "Chang Chang is amazing, your acting skills can handle any role."

"You've made a lot of progress now, it's almost a step by step." Shu Chang also praised.

"Okay, the two of you sisters, let's get closer after the meeting, and finish the meeting now." Jiang Xuerou knocked on the table and said: "These two characters, Shuoshuo and Qianqian, you two have snacks.

However, I believe that with your qualifications of starring in director Zhang Yimou's new work, Mr. Cai and director Li Guoli naturally know how to choose. "

"Understood." Chen Shuo and the two replied.

Chen Shuo did not choose the roles in the other three dramas, and Yu Bo and the others chose to try the leading roles in the other three dramas, which meant that he was given this opportunity.

It is impossible for all the protagonists to be rounded up by Zhouyi. Since they have already given in, Chen Shuo naturally will not fight with them.

That being the case, the other roles are not that important, and it's okay not to play them at that time. If it is really necessary to play, just choose a distinctive supporting role.

The same is true for Shu Chang, with "Lotus Lantern" as the heroine of the CCTV drama, other roles are not too important, and it will be the same when the preparations start.

Jiang Xuerou nodded and asked, "Also, how is the theme song that I asked you to write?"

"It's finished." Chen Shuo took out a few scores from his bag and said, "Among them, "Peerless" and "Water Moon" are the opening and closing credits of "Water Moon Cave".

"Outside the Sky" and "Every Eye" are the opening and closing credits of "Legend of the Mirror". "

Jiang Xuerou can also compose lyrics herself, and knows a thing or two about the music, so she fell in love with it immediately after reading it.

Xi said: "Okay, finish the recording as soon as possible, the post-production of the two dramas has already been produced, and it will be fine to add the opening and ending credits at that time."

Chen Shuo said: "I have already handed over the score to Brother He, and he has already found someone to arrange the music. I will start recording tomorrow."

"I see that your target "Every Eye" is a chorus of two people, or mainly female voices. Are you going to let Sissy sing it?"

"Yes, we plan to see if anyone recognizes her as a singer. When the time comes, she will be the lead singer, and I will harmonize. I will test the waters with this song.

If it works, I will prepare and release an album in the second half of the year. "

"Okay, you guys should record the song as soon as possible, and then prepare for the role interview."

"it is good!"

After the meeting ended, Shan Xiaolou stopped Chen Shuo and said, "Shuo Shuo stay here first."

The three of Yang Junyi directly took the script and began to prepare roles in the company. Liu Yifei followed Shu Chang to the screenwriting team to see her desk.

Although Shu Chang is an actress, the main reason she joined Zhouyi was to learn from the scriptwriters here.

Therefore, her focus in the company's office is more on the production department.

Seeing that everyone had left, Chen Shuo asked, "What else is there? Sister Xiaolou."

"Producer Zhang Jizhong sent an invitation for "The Legend of Condor Heroes", asking you and Qianqian to play Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv." Shan Xiaolou looked at the two and said, "He said he talked to you before, and you agreed. "

"Yes, I said it when I went to Lin'an to promote it last time." Chen Shuo nodded.

Shan Xiaolou said: "A week ago, he called Mr. Zhou and told him about it, but after we discussed it, we didn't give him an answer immediately."

She paused, looked at Chen Shuo's expression, saw that he didn't look anxious, and explained: "Since you agreed, and this is a good role, we naturally have no intention of forcing you to push it.

However, after discussing with Mr. Jiang, I think it is more appropriate to talk about it after "Shuiyuedongtian" is broadcast.

Today is different from the past. Back then, in order to get the role of Duan Yu, you had to go through several interviews, and the company also needed to invest a lot of financial and material resources.

Now that your reputation has increased greatly, with the blessing of albums and movies, we naturally want to strive for the greatest benefits.

If I didn't know when Director Yimou planned to release it, I would have waited for "House of Flying Daggers" to be released before discussing it.

Of course, no matter how you say you can achieve today's achievements, it is true that the favor of Zhang Jizhong's producer is indispensable. We will lower him by three levels after striving for the greatest benefits for you.

Business is business, friendship is friendship.

It should be your interests that must be fought for, which is related to your future social status, but we are not people who only recognize money but not people. "

"There's nothing wrong with it." Chen Shuo nodded, agreeing, "Miss Xiaolou is very considerate."

This kind of behavior is very in line with his philosophy, which is one of the main reasons why he likes staying in Zhouyi.

Since he became famous, it's not that no one came to poach him, not to mention Wu Qi's side. He received various calls almost every day, asking if he wanted to take Chen Shuo to change jobs.

It is not impossible to find the one on Chen Shuo's head personally.

But he turned them all down.

He is still in school now, even though he hasn't been in school for a long time, his studies are undoubtedly his most important thing at the moment.

In Zhouyi, the company will not restrict him from accepting outside plays, and at the same time will not force him to go to the business to act to make money and squeeze his value.

No matter what happens, I will do my best to support him.

If he had changed to another company, he might not have such a great degree of freedom.

"Okay, I just want to tell you about this." Shan Xiaolou confessed: "Next, "Tian Long Ba Bu" will go to Taiwan to promote it, and it will be broadcast on CCTV at the end of the year, and a press conference will also be held. .

When Producer Zhang tells you about this again, don't talk about it with him, just say that you are definitely willing to act, but you don't understand the specifics, so ask him to send someone to talk to me. "

"Okay, I see." Chen Shuo responded.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, go get busy."

"Goodbye, Miss Lou."

Chen Shuo left the conference room and went to the office of the editorial team of the production department to find Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, and saw that they were chatting happily with Han Ling.

Asked: "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about creation. Sister Ling and Chang Chang plan to write a script by themselves, and then submit it to the creative team for a try." Liu Yifei asked, "What did Sister Xiaolou tell you?"

"The director Zhang invited me to play Yang Guo. Tell me not to talk to him. The company will talk about it." Chen Shuo replied and asked, "What's the content of your script?"

Shu Chang said: "We plan to write a mythical love story, such as Meng Jiangnu, Tianxian Pei, Cowherd and Weaver Girl."

"Inspiration from the Lotus Lantern?"

"Yes." Han Ling nodded, and said, "Originally, I wanted to learn from Feng Bian and write a campus love story, but Chang Chang said that the audience is narrow, so it's better to add some elements such as mythology, martial arts, and legends. .

I think it's quite right. "The Boy King" adapted by Chen Bian also has a technological color, and "Shuiyuedongtian" has a fantasy color, and the stories are very exciting to watch.

We intend to combine these things and write a light-hearted and funny mythical love story. "

Chen Shuo laughed and said, "There are indeed enough elements. Have you thought about which fairy tale to use?"

"Not yet, but just now we were talking about the story of Seven Fairies and Dong Yong."

"That's pretty good. The seven fairies and Dong Yong are the main ones, plus the other six fairies and some friends of Dong Yong in the mortal world. It's enough to write a story."

"Let's think about it again. Anyway, the company doesn't have time to shoot this year, so don't worry." Han Ling and Shu Chang didn't make such a quick decision.

One of the two is the protagonist of "Lotus Lantern", and the other is the screenwriter of "Sword and Sword". After gaining experience, it will definitely be more solid to write again.

"That's okay, think about it more, and polish it more." Chen Shuo asked Shu Chang again: "Are you staying in the company or going back?"

"I'm fine at school, I..."

Before Shu Chang finished speaking, Liu Yifei said: "Chen Shuo is going to Jingwen to watch the album, why don't you go with us?"

Han Ling pushed her and said, "Go ahead, let's think about it separately, so as not to get around that detour together."

Shu Chang nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, we will listen to the song in Chen Shuo's office, and you will also help me as a staff officer, and you will also be given the title of screenwriter assistant at that time."

"That's good." Liu Yifei clapped her hands and laughed, "I want to be a screenwriter too."

"Okay, the two great screenwriters are gone." After Chen Shuo bid farewell to Han Ling, he was about to go to Beijing to hear about it.

Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, Yu Bo asked, "Shuo Shuo, when are you going to see the house?"

"Auntie went to look for it again, and I will go to see it when I have time in the next two days."

"That's fine, when you go to see it, call me, and I'll go and see it too."

"I really don't understand why the two of you want to buy a courtyard house? How good is a commercial house." Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin expressed their incomprehension.

"Didn't you live enough when you were in the countryside?"

"There is a yard, so it will be convenient for practicing kung fu." Chen Shuo explained.

"Then is it different for you to buy a villa?" Yang Junyi asked: "The inside is all modern decoration, and there is also a yard for you to practice. Isn't it much better than an inconvenient alley?"

Chen Shuo said with a smile: "When the album earns money next year, I'll just buy a villa."

"I..." Yang Junyi was speechless for a moment, but he shook his head helplessly and said, "Sure enough, rich and willful."

Just as Chen Shuo was about to leave, he suddenly remembered, turned around and asked, "By the way, fourth brother, brother Jin, where are you going to buy a house?
Do you want to go and see with us, and we will buy together when the time comes. "

"I don't want it, I plan to buy a commercial house." Yang Junyi shook his head and said, "I don't have as much money as you, who can buy two houses. My current deposit is only enough to buy one house."

Zhang Jinzhan spread his hands and said: "I don't even need to talk about it. Buying a commercial house is hard enough. I guess I will have to pay back the loan at that time, but I don't have the money to buy a courtyard house with all the money."

"Then where are you going to buy it?"

"Let's buy it here in Chaoyang. It's next to the third ring road. It's convenient to come to the company or go to the airport."

"Then why don't you just buy it at Wangjing? When you're in the imperial capital, there's no rush to get back to the company. On the contrary, when you're filming in the future, it's not too far to go home from the airport.

Another one, the better ones in Sanlitun are all six or seven thousand, while the new buildings in Wangjing are only around five thousand. "

After hearing this, Yang Junyi and the two went to look at the map of the imperial capital hanging on the wall of the company.

Sure enough, although the Wangjing side is not as prosperous as the Sanlitun side, it is also quiet and close to the airport.

Even if you want to come to the company, you can come from Jingmi Road to Sanyuan Bridge via the East Third Ring Road, or to Dongzhimen via the East Second Ring Road.

"That's fine." Yang Junyi said.

"It does feel right." Zhang Jin nodded.

"If you decide, go and have a look, and I'll buy another one there next year."

"Okay, let's take a look when we were years ago."
