Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 148
"What, Linghu Chong is going to change, is it true or not?"

Awakened by the ringing of the phone in the middle of the night, Naian, who was still in a daze, shuddered and woke up instantly.

"Of course it's true. I just received a call from Director Yuan. He, Director Huang and Teacher Zhang had just finished a meeting and decided to change roles. Director Huang also nominated me to play the role of Linghu Chong as a substitute. Director Yuan also agreed. It's just that Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to have made up his mind yet, saying that he still has to think about it. I guess Mr. Zhang may have another suitable candidate in his mind, so..."

Before Li Tang finished speaking, Naian interrupted: "Stop talking, I'll call Xinman right away, what is this old man thinking!"

"It's so late, will it disturb Sister Xinman?"

"Hey, it's okay. Her old man is not at home, so she must be crazy outside at this point. In this way, you can let you go back to the set tomorrow, don't say anything, and I will notify you as soon as there is news. Don't worry, No matter what I say this time, I will take down the role of Linghu Chong."

Nai'an was full of ambition for a while, hurriedly got up from the bed, and ran barefoot to the living room to call her best friend Fan Xinman.The husband who was woken up quickly chased out with the clothes and helped her put them on.

"Take it easy and watch out for the baby in your stomach."

Naian subconsciously rubbed her belly. She was just found out a few days ago, and the whole family was very happy. Now she is the key protected animal in the family.

Naian wrapped the clothes on her body tightly, and gave her worried husband a reassuring smile: "Okay, you go to bed first, I'll come in after calling Xinman."

Don't look at Li Tang's awesomeness now, he is also a Huabiao Film Newcomer Award, and he is nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, but he is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry.Especially in the TV industry with a huge audience, what he can get out now is still the role of Xiao Jian in "Returning the Pearl II".

On the one hand, this TV series is too popular, and on the other hand, it also benefits from Auntie Qiong Yao's writing of the character Xiao Jian so well, so that the audience will pay attention to the character Xiao Jian in addition to the protagonist.

Although "Little Li Flying Knife" aired a few years ago was also very popular, only Li Xunhuan, played by Jiao Enjun, was really popular. The protagonist's aura is too dazzling.A Fei, played by Wu Jing, has gained the fame of the character, and he has barely gained a wave of fans.As for Shangguan Fei, played by Li Tang, he had a first glimpse, and he didn't have many roles and was a villain, so he failed to make any waves in the end.The unaired "Great Love in Qinghe" is estimated to have the same fate.

In the final analysis, these are Li Tang's failure to meet a good character.

In the past two years, Nai'an has personally experienced that the competition in the entertainment industry is becoming more and more fierce, and the male and female protagonists of head works are becoming more and more popular.Because the times have changed, movies and TV dramas used to be regarded as literary and artistic works, focusing on literature, ideological quality, etc., and it has long since become that movies need box office, and TV dramas need to pursue ratings.

To put it bluntly, it is all linked to the economy.

In this general environment, private film and television companies are booming. Not only do they invest in movies and TV series, but they are also gradually targeting the blue ocean of actor brokerage.

For example, if you invest in a movie or TV series by yourself, if it becomes popular, it will certainly make a lot of money.But the biggest beneficiaries may be the actors. The "My Fair Princess" series is the most obvious example.

If you sign potential actors to your own company, use the film and television dramas you invest in to praise your own actors.If it becomes popular, the company can not only get a piece of the pie from the actors, but also use the popular actors to continuously create value for the company.

Therefore, it will be more and more difficult for an actor with strength and acting skills to get a good role in the future. Unless you are popular enough, like Zhou Jie and Lu Yi, the film and television companies will rush to invite them to play the leading role, and then match a few Actors of their own, through them to make popular actors of their own.

Li Tang undoubtedly has good looks and acting skills, but now he lacks a masterpiece that can prove himself."Swordsman" invested by CCTV is the best opportunity at present, and Li Tang has already obtained the approval of the director. Now the right to choose is in the hands of Zhang Dahuzi. If you miss it, you may never have such a good opportunity in the future up.

……

It was already late at night after the meeting, but Zhang Dazi didn't rest immediately.It was easy to make the decision to switch roles, and the two directors of the crew also supported it, which relieved him a lot of pressure.But the problem now is the candidate for the replacement. This candidate is already related to the success or failure of the drama "Swordsman", and it is also related to the future of his own career, so he has to be cautious!

During the meeting, Huang Jianzhong offered to let Li Tang play Linghu Chong.This proposal made his eyes light up, why didn't he think of it?

To put it bluntly, when he was considering candidates, he fell into inertial thinking and always thought that Li Tang was the best candidate for Lin Pingzhi, so he instinctively excluded Li Tang.

But it happened that this proposal was put forward by Lao Huang. Although Yuan Bing never expressed his opinion on the selection of actors, it seemed that he agreed.After going through a special era, Zhang Dazi, who grew up from the struggle, had to pay more attention. That old guy, Huang Huang, was very gloomy.

In addition, compared with Li Yapeng, another candidate in his mind, Li Tang was far less famous in terms of popularity.Lao Zhang is good at hype, after all, everything is for the ratings.Li Yapeng is a popular niche student, so he will naturally receive a high degree of attention. The ratings in the future cannot be said to be guaranteed, but at least they will not be bad.

This is the same as his choice of Shao Bin in the first place, so Lao Zhang hesitated for a while, instead of expressing his position on the spot, he had to think carefully.

In addition, there is another worrying thing waiting for him, which is how to talk to Shao Bin tomorrow morning.Changing roles is easy to say, but it actually involves many aspects in operation. The first is the contract, which is clearly written in black and white. Whoever breaks the contract will be liable for breach of contract.Since the crew proposed to change roles, then the responsibility for breach of contract must be the crew, and there is a problem of compensation.

In addition, Shao Bin is not a cat or a dog, but a popular star. Although his appearance as Ling Huchong in "Swordsman" has not been officially announced, it has already been rumored by the outside world, and the crew has always adopted a tacit attitude.Now that Shao Bin needs to be replaced, how to minimize the negative impact caused by it is also a very tricky thing.

Just when the old man was upset and sighed because of this, his cell phone rang, and it was his good wife who called, and Lao Zhang hurriedly connected the call.

"Have you finally made up your mind?" Fan Xinman said concisely.

"Yes, I can't make up my mind, that guy is really outrageous..."

Lao Zhang urgently needs someone to confide in, and Fan Xinman is naturally the best candidate.

He explained all the ins and outs of the matter, including having a meeting with the director and Lao Huang's proposal to have Li Tang act as Linghu Chong as a substitute, and so on.

Regarding Fan Xinman's late-night call, he also knew that it must be Lao Huang or Yuan Bing who had disclosed the news to Li Tang, and then Li Tang's agent, Naian, approached Xinman.

"Isn't this great, what else do you think?"

Fan Xinman is naturally the candidate to support her best friend, not to mention that she has a particularly good impression of Li Tang.

"I……"

Before the bearded man could explain, Fan Xinman said again like a cannonball: "Don't forget that Li Tang was your candidate from the very beginning. Now that Director Huang has offered to let Li Tang come to substitute Linghu Chong, on the one hand he must It is Li Tang who has this ability, both directors Huang and Yuan agree; on the other hand, I think he intends to ease the relationship with you. Don't forget, he is the chief director, and he must want to make the film well just like you .”

The bearded man admitted that what Xinman said was reasonable, but he couldn't help but replied: "I know his plan, it's nothing more than Li Tang playing Linghu Chong, so the role of Lin Pingzhi who was vacant was just assigned to him last time." I am particularly optimistic about the student from Nortel. Maybe there is something tricky about it!"

"You don't care if he is tricky or not. Isn't it normal for everyone to exchange interests! And just take this opportunity to mend the relationship with Director Huang. The structure should be bigger. Don't keep getting entangled in some details. It's serious to shoot the trick well. Yes. Let me remind you, this matter is big or small, and it is your last chance!"

Fan Xinman knows this old man too well, even though he looks very rough, he seems to be very heroic.In fact, he has a very small mind and holds a grudge.There is a saying: It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.The villain among them probably refers to people like Lao Zhang.

It's easy to get into a dead end if you have a small mind. Lao Zhang is in this state now, guarding against this and that, and worrying about gains and losses.

He might not listen to others' words, but Xinman's words made his mind suddenly clear.

At this time, I still have to worry about what the candidate is doing. Since Lao Huang offered to let Li Tang take the position, let Li Tang take the position. Although the popularity is a little bit lacking, the attitude and acting skills are nothing to say. At least it can guarantee that the performance will not pull the hip , This also guarantees the lower limit of this play.

As for Li Yapeng, the reputation is enough, but the rest is still unknown.And because of this, there will be a gap between the two directors, and the gain outweighs the loss.

As for whether it will be successful in the future, since the chief director Lao Huang proposed the choice of the leading role, Lao Huang should bear at least half of the responsibility.

The most urgent task now is how to deal with Shao Bin's problem.

He confessed his concerns to Xinman, and Xinman gave him an idea after a little consideration.

"So cruel?"

After listening to it, he couldn't help being as ruthless as a big beard.

As the producer and chief director of CCTV's news commentary program, Xinman is by no means in vain.He is especially good at analyzing things in two, magnifying the positive side, covering up the unfavorable things, and saying bad things into good things as much as possible.

Fan Xinman on the other end of the phone wrote lightly at this time: "This is the most beneficial way to deal with your crew. Didn't you realize that this matter itself is a hot topic. If it is handled properly, this is still a good publicity opportunity. .”

"Swordsman" has indeed been silent for a while after the hype in the early stage. Since it can turn bad things into good things, the bearded Zhang who is not good at himself gritted his teeth and said, "Success, I will do as you say."

"How about Li Tang, Naian is still waiting for my reply."

At this time, Lao Zhang, who had all his troubles swept away, smiled heartily and said, "No problem, it's all up to you."

……

Although Naian told Li Tang to let him go back to the set with peace of mind, she will handle everything and must find a way to get the role of Linghu Chong, but he still couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

Although there is only one difference between the first male lead and the second male lead, and the second male lead is the closest he has come to starring in a TV series, let alone a CCTV drama.

But the difference between the male number one and the male number two is fundamental, and the male number two is more to set off the aura of the protagonist.He is used to playing the male lead in movies, so he has no reason not to want to play the male lead in this CCTV drama, but looks forward to it even more.

After this battle, maybe he can also completely establish his position as a first-line actor in the circle like Zhou Jie and Lu Yi.

"Tick!"

The phone's text message beeps.

One more thing, in the 21st century, mobile phone operators have finally opened the SMS function.

Li Tang quickly picked up his phone to check, and it was indeed Naian who sent it.

He opened the text message in a very anxious mood, and there were only two words - it was done!
At this moment, he couldn't even believe his eyes, he looked at it twice before he was sure, and he was ecstatic for a while.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Fan Xiaopang who was sleeping soundly, and suddenly found that she was very attractive tonight...

　The second update, the new version of Linghu Chong will be unveiled soon, please vote!
