This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 298

After watching "The Ming Dynasty 1566", Jiang Bai began to think about what role he could play in this drama. No matter whether Zhao could win the copyright of this TV series by then, he could play the role.

It's just that those characters with higher rankings are a bit inappropriate for themselves. Whether it's Emperor Jiajing, or Hai Rui, Hu Zongxian, Yan Song, Zhang Juzheng, etc., judging from their own image, they are actually not very suitable. suitable.

Because these actors are required to be a little older. Even if they are in their thirties, they still have to look mature.

These are the basic requirements for casting. It is impossible for a young man in his twenties to put on old age makeup to play an old man in an entire TV series.

Firstly, it is very difficult, and secondly, the actors themselves have to be involved in the play. It is indeed a bit difficult for someone in their 20s to portray the temperament of a 70-year-old person.

It would be better to just find an actor who is of the right age and has decent acting skills to play the role.

After looking at it, Jiang Bai felt that there was a character named Shen Yishi in it that suited him very well.

Although the other party is also older, at least he is not that old, that is, between 40 and [-] years old.

But the only problem is that this character was finalized relatively early. Out of about 40 episodes, Shen Yishi died in just a dozen episodes.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as the role is good enough." Jiang Bai thought this way.

After a while, Peile called Jiang Bai and said that registration for the World Championship would start in a few days, and asked Jiang Bai if he was willing to participate.

"Of course I will."

"Okay, then I will register your name for you, but you still need to provide some personal identity information, and you have to fill out a form."

"Well, then I'll go back there again."

But when the other party heard this, he quickly said no.

"I will go back to Yanjing tomorrow for something. Then I will just bring the form over and you can fill it out."

"Alright."

But Jiang Bai didn't know whether the other party was really here for something, or if he came to Yanjing specifically to fill in the form just to save himself a trip. It didn't matter to him.

Peile came to Yanjing the next day and went directly to the company to find Jiang Bai. After signing, Jiang Bai took him around the company again.

"That's great, Mr. Jiang, do you have any ideas for making a game-themed work in the future? I can help."

"I haven't considered this before, but it sounds pretty good. It seems like no one is filming this kind of subject. I'll let the screenwriters think about it later."

"Hahaha, I just said it casually."

"fine."

"But Mr. Jiang, since you have joined our team, I thought of promoting it online. Usually when a new member of the club joins as the main player or someone's contract expires and signs with another club, some news will be posted."

"It's okay. Just tell me how you want to promote it. I'm a player in your club and you are the boss. I will listen to you."

"Haha, no, no, it's our honor to receive such a great person like you. Then I will go back and work out the publicity plan and send you a copy. If you think it works, then we will follow that. How about it? ?”

"Ok, Ok."

After Peile left, Jiang Bai had one more thing to do, which was to follow Zhao Zhe to talk to the leaders of CCTV.

It was not an easy task for "Ming Dynasty 1566" to find CCTV to produce it.

Because if a TV series is to be approved by CCTV, it must go through layers of approval and review.

Then during production, you have to choose a director, actors, shooting locations, etc.

When choosing actors for this kind of serious drama, you don’t have to think twice. Most of them will definitely be chosen from the National Theater and some art troupes.

Of course, there is an advantage to choosing them, that is, the pay is cheap.

But these conditions are acceptable to Jiang Bai. Anyway, according to Jiang Bai's idea, that is, as long as the company and CCTV can cooperate during the filming, and then let Jiang Bai play the role of Shen Yishi.

As for other roles, Jiang Bai also plans to let some actors in the company give them a try. Anyway, if they can be auditioned, they can play them. If they can't be auditioned, they can go to other movies. There is no loss.

It took Zhao Zhe's own communication and negotiation skills in business, coupled with Jiang Bai's affinity and drinking capacity, and it took them a few days to finally convince the leaders of CCTV.

But the other party's request is also to read the script first. If the script is good, they will agree to film it. If the script is not good, then there is no point in talking about it.

"Hey, Jiang Bai, do you think we can do this? To be honest, I only know Liu Heping and chatted with him, but I haven't even said a word about him.

Now that the script has not been handed over to us and the copyright has not been obtained, we have just made an agreement directly with CCTV. Isn't this equivalent to empty handed? "

"You can't say that. This is just one of the strategies. As long as the script is 100% okay, then we can let it be 100% broadcast on CCTV. And when we cooperate with a unit like CCTV, we basically don't have to worry about the script being too bad. .

When the time comes, let Mr. Liu be the producer, so that he will not be in control of the whole thing. There will be no harm to him. It will be completely different to broadcast it on the more popular local stations and on the CCTV. .

Those local stations still need antennas and cable TV to be watched in other areas, but CCTV can be watched nationwide. As long as there is TV, there is CCTV. "

"Okay, I hope so, but what should we do next? I heard that he prefers chili sauce. The leader in Xiangtai will bring some with him every time he goes to see him. Should we buy some too?"

But Jiang Bai shook his head: "No, what's the point of just eating hot sauce? This thing is not an exclusive recipe. I asked someone to get three tickets yesterday. Let's send it to him later."

"What ticket?"

"Of course it's a theater ticket."

"Theatre?" Zhao Zhe was a little confused.

"That's for sure. Don't you know him even if you're looking for someone to do something for you? He grew up in a theater. Then he worked during the day, studied at night, was admitted to the theater troupe, and worked as a professional performer for three years. At the age of 21, he was admitted to the theater again. A public school teacher who has taught Chinese in middle schools for nine years.

He wrote his first stage play script in [-], and later became a full-time screenwriter. Later, he gradually became the director of the HY City Drama Studio, and began to conduct research on stage playwriting and opera theory.

In [-], he participated in the compilation of "Chinese Opera Chronicle" and won an award.

In [-], I adapted an opera and TV series, and then started to work as a serious screenwriter for TV series.

And according to rumors, he himself likes opera very much. "Zhao Zhe was stunned. He had known Liu Heping for seven or eight years and had never heard of him having such a hobby. He only knew that Liu Heping was also a member of the system. Although he was a screenwriter, he also had a good status.

But there is such a thing as personal hobbies... After all, they just know each other, and they can exchange a few words after meeting.

"How do you know this? Where did you get this gossip?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Just know that it's absolutely reliable."

"Ok."

Then they went to find Liu Heping together.

Liu Heping himself had a strong scholarly air and looked very elegant. This time he went out to have dinner with them and was simply wearing a pair of black pants and a white T-shirt.

"Teacher Liu, I have admired you for a long time, I am Jiang Bai."

"Mr. Jiang, hello. I've heard Xiao Zhao talk about you before. He said that you are very talented and capable, and that you are a person who does great things."

After hearing this, Jiang Bai smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. I only have a high school education. I usually like to read some history and listen to some operas. And you can just call me Xiao Jiang."

"How is that possible? You are the boss of your company."

"What's wrong? Teacher Liu, you are too polite. I am not qualified to be your student like this."

"Hahaha, you are the one being polite."

However, after a few words, the distance between the two became closer, and with Zhao Zhe in the middle, they quickly sat down and started chatting.

But Jiang Bai was sincere when he called Teacher Liu. Although everyone in the entertainment industry would respectfully call him teacher when they meet, most of these teachers are full of water.

Some older actors are okay, after all, they are also elders, and they do have a lot to learn. But for some young actors, when they are called teachers, it is just like calling the driver in a taxi.

But Liu Heping had been a teacher before, and had been there for nine years. In addition, he was currently a national first-level screenwriter, so it was reasonable to call him "teacher".

And Liu Heping seemed to like being called that.

"Xiao Jiang, why did you think of pursuing the path of an actor in the first place? And you only stopped studying in high school. How good would it be to pursue it in the future?"

Jiang Bai sighed: "Well, there is nothing we can do about it. Our family was poor at the time, and my parents passed away early, so my sister and I were left to depend on each other. My sister's studies were better than mine at that time, so I I stopped studying and went out to work to make money so that my sister could go to school."

Hearing this, Liu Heping was in awe. He knew that in that era, everyone valued boys over girls. Usually in this situation, the elder sister dropped out of school to work to support the younger brother in school. Jiang Bai could take the initiative to do this, which is enough to be respected. .

"Then what is your sister doing now?"

"She is also a teacher now, but she teaches kindergarten. She used to teach at BJ. I also met Brother Zhao at that time. He recommended me to play a murderer in "Serious Case Group Six". I am the first character with lines and frontal shots, so Brother Zhao is also my leader."

“Indeed, Xiao Zhao is a pretty good person, he writes well, and he is also down-to-earth.

But I just heard you say that you like opera? "

"Yes, I do like opera more than those popular songs nowadays."

"This is rare. Today's young people basically don't listen to this anymore. That is to say, we older generations still listen to it."

"Yes."

For this Liu Heping, Jiang Bai had worked hard before. Although he either played games or did other things every day, since he wanted to cooperate with the other party, he had to do what he liked.

If people like Liu Heping don't say anything else, if they just take out this script, many TV stations will want to film it.

And this is Jiang Bai's cleverer point. Compared with the leaders of Xiangtai, although everyone is following their own preferences, it is obviously easier to start from the drama aspect.

During the meal, they kept talking about drama.

Because Liu Heping had done research on opera before, so what he said was very reasonable. And Jiang Bai was from ancient times. At that time, he would listen to opera when he had nothing to do. His adoptive father also liked to listen to opera, although there were some allusions to it. I don’t understand it, but I can enjoy it just by listening to the story.

When the meal was almost finished, Jiang Bai took out a theater ticket from his bag.

"Teacher Liu, someone gave me a few tickets some time ago, but I don't have many people around me who like to listen to operas. Otherwise, you can accept the tickets and let's go and listen to them together."

Liu Heping took a look at the ticket, and he probably knew that this was something Jiang Bai had prepared a long time ago, but he took another look at the words on the ticket and found that this was a scene that he also liked to listen to.

"Is that bad?"

"What's wrong? I'll leave it anyway. Instead of forcing someone who doesn't like theater to listen to it, it's better to give it to a close friend. At least this ticket is not buried in my hands. After all, I I don’t like waste very much.”

"Hahaha, don't like waste? When you said that, I remembered that you had acted in "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" before."

Jiang Bai scratched his head: "That was all in the past."

"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed, your performance as General Yuwen is indeed good."

But in the end Liu Heping accepted the ticket.

After sending the other party home, on the way back, Zhao Zhe sat in the co-pilot and looked a little happy: "If he can accept the ticket, it means that we have succeeded half way, but I have to say that you are really good at talking about business." One hand."

"It's just some basic operations."

"Humble and humble, no wonder you have been able to eat me to death over the years. You have studied my emotions thoroughly."

"Brother Zhao, how hurtful are your words?"

"That's what I said. Anyway, I'm willing to work with you now. People with ability don't care about their age. If I was the only one here, the company wouldn't be able to develop so well now. I can make a lot of money by being my own boss." The money may not be as much as it is now.”

Indeed, since Jiang Bai became the boss of the company, the movies he has filmed have become more and more awesome, and the people he has brought back have become more and more powerful. Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang... they look ugly, but There is huge energy in Chou Chou's body.

Not to mention that Jiang Wen is still in charge.

In the past few years alone, he has bought a house in a particularly good school district. Although he also took out a loan, it is estimated that it will be fully paid off in a few years.
