Chapter 568: Are national first-class actors qualified? (-in-)

Yang Yi also plans to star in "In the Name of the People". This drama is the first time that Jin Longbo takes the leading role alone. Yang Yi must provide support, otherwise Jin Longbo himself will not be sure.

It's just that Yang Yi's schedule this year is very full, and he can't spare much time for "In the Name of the People", so after discussing with Jin Longbo, he decided to star in Chen Hai, who only played in a few episodes and was lying on the bed afterwards.

In fact, even if Yang Yi had time, he would not be able to play other roles in "In the Name of the People".

The reason is very simple. The main characters in "In the Name of the People" are basically department-level officials, all in their fifties. Even if Yang Yi's acting skills are good, his face is not that of a provincial official. The way he looks can easily make the audience laugh.

Although Yang Yi is already thirty-seven years old this year, he has used an unlimited experience card to redeem body function recovery treatments, and he still looks very young.

It was actually a bit reluctant for him to play the role of Chen Hai. However, the makeup artist in their company has the ability to apply special effects makeup. It is not a big problem to make Yang Yi look like a middle-aged man in his forties. Coupled with Yang Yi's mature temperament brought by his actual age, he should be able to play Chen Hai. This is the feeling of a deputy department-level cadre.

However, even Yang Yi himself was not sure of playing the main roles such as Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei, and Jin Longbo didn't even know which actors to find to play these old foxes!

After Jin Longbo entered Mumu Film and Television, among the actors he had interacted with, there were very few who met the age requirements, and there were even fewer actors who could portray the temperament of a high official and the depth of a city.

Ye Fuming was not sure. He was thin and dark-skinned. He was just right to play the greedy and ugly Zhao Dehan, but he didn't have the aura to play high-ranking officials like Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang.

Le Zehan himself didn't know many veteran actors with superb acting skills. He originally wanted to introduce them through veteran actors such as Lu Zhongze and Tang Youfang who he had worked with before, but then he thought about it and it seemed that his father Le Weixiang knew many senior actors. Actor!

Yang Yi asked Zhang Jiajun to play Hou Liangping because Hou Liangping was not very young, and Zhang Jiajun had a square face and could portray an upright temperament.

"You can't just look for actors for this drama. Auditions are not suitable. You have to find experienced actors, and they are experienced actors!" Le Zehan touched his chin and said to Jin Longbo.

"Yes, we have to find experienced actors, Mr. Le, I think so too. If we can find all experienced actors to act, and the script is written by Brother Yi, it will be difficult for this drama to be good or not!" Jin Longbo was a little confused. excited.

This mouth shut belongs to Brother Yi. Isn’t it just like those cheating sons who said “my dad is XXX” in the past?

"That's because our Brother Yi has strong creative ability. He can go to space to blow up Jupiter, and he can fight against corrupt officials on earth. He can make several movies and TV series a year without any problem!" Le Zehan proudly boasted to his father. .

In comparison, Mr. Le is more like Le Zehan's competitor. They are secretly competing with each other when they talk!

"Looking for an old actor. Let me think about it, you may have to ask Comrade Lao Le to take action on this matter." Le Zehan thought for a moment and suddenly thought of his father.

Comrade Lao Le is indeed a little out of step with the development of the times. If you ask him to talk about young actors, young actors, and golden flowers, he may not be able to name a few. But the first ten years of the 21st century were dominated by producers of his generation, and there were few veteran actors who had not worked with him!

Le Zehan did not hesitate and brought Jin Longbo directly to his father's company. Of course, before going, Le Zehan called his father and sent the electronic script of "In the Name of the People" to his father for him to take a look at first. Therefore, after arriving at Xiangshun Pictures, Le Weixiang sighed with his son in front of Jin Longbo.

"Yang Yi in your company really can't stop at all! "The Wandering Earth" has made so much money at the box office, and it hasn't even finished winning awards in Berlin yet, and now it's making an anti-corruption drama again!"

"Why do I think you are insinuating me? Hey, I am getting old, and I can't compare with young people like you now!" Le Weixiang glared at him. This son has been so good since he went to Mumu Film and Television with Yang Yi. She stopped listening to him and talked back to him.

Moreover, Comrade Lao Le's favorite TV drama types are official dramas and daily life dramas. Asking him to help recommend actors suitable for "In the Name of the People" would be like falling asleep and meeting a pillow - it couldn't be more suitable!

"Why do you think I am insinuating you? Let alone you older generation film and television people, even the young directors now, or the old directors when they were young, did not have as high an annual output as our brother Yi!" Le Zehan made the old man so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

As for Ma Shiqing, judging from his half-Buddha and half-wretched image, he is a good choice to play Zhao Ruilong.

Jin Longbo looked at the father and son with some weirdness. This was the first time he met Le Zehan's father, although he had already known that Le Zehan was the son of the senior domestic producer Le Weixiang - it was listed on the online encyclopedia page Related information, but looking at it today, why do they think their brother Yi is Le Zehan's father?

However, it is not easy to find veteran actors. These veteran actors rarely make public appearances and have not signed contracts with any big companies. With the connections of Jin Longbo, a rookie director who has not been in the film and television industry for a long time, it is difficult to think of any invitations. Veteran actors came to audition.

Of course, Le Weixiang is very happy that Le Zehan can achieve today's results. Externally, Le Weixiang did not hide the identity of Le Zehan as his son (illegitimate son), as if he was proud of Le Zehan.

The only one who is secretly competing is actually Le Zehan. He used to want to hold back his energy and make dazzling results to impress his father. Now this goal has been achieved, but Le Zehan still wants to surpass his father and become the most legendary producer in China. People, fighting for their mother.

Le Weixiang was more teasing. He was getting older and rarely led the crew in recent years. He only occasionally came forward to help Le Zeyan clear up his connections.

Le Zeyan did not have the same luck as Le Zehan. He could not make friends with a great director like Yang Yi. Although Le Zeyan can occasionally bring out an award-winning TV series, he only wins small awards and makes small money. He cannot make any splash in the current film and television industry. Le Weixiang couldn't help it. Who would have thought that Yang Yi would be so powerful? When Yang Yi came to visit the company, even he himself was mistaken, let alone Le Zeyan. Fortunately, the illegitimate son Le Zehan, whom he had not been optimistic about before, seized this opportunity.

Now that Le Zehan can ride on the big ship of Mumu Film and Television and have made so many dazzling achievements, Le Weixiang's face is also bright, and he has also been praised and envied by others in the circle.

"Having a child is like Le Weixiang." How could Le Weixiang, who was so praised by others, care about Le Zehan's rivalry with him?
Now Le Zehan came to the door with Yang Yi's script, and Le Weixiang happily made the best tea to entertain him and Jin Longbo. It's rare for his son to ask for anything from him, so of course Le Weixiang must do his best. Even if Le Zehan won't give him an introduction fee, Le Weixiang is willing to serve as an unknown stepping stone, allowing his son to stand higher and go further!
"I haven't finished reading the script of "In the Name of the People" yet. I just roughly flipped through a few episodes. However, I can see that this drama is all about big scenes, and all the people captured are big tigers. "Crazy" is still very exciting. In this case, your requirements for actors should be relatively high, at least in their forties, fifties, fifties and sixties." Le Weixiang finally got to the point.

"Yes, Teacher Le, you have more contact with such veteran actors, so we are here to ask you for advice today and want to see which actors are more suitable." Jin Longbo nodded quickly in agreement.

"Not only do you need veteran actors, but you also need veteran actors, and their acting skills must be ruthless enough! Otherwise, playing a corrupt official won't be as greasy as it is!" Le Zehan said.

"You still have to be an experienced actor. Are you qualified as a national first-class actor?" Le Weixiang said with a smile, "The greasy corrupt official you just mentioned is Ding Yizhen, right? I already thought of the role of Ding Yizhen when I read the script just now. A very suitable candidate.”

In the scripts of the episodes he read, the most important corrupt officials who have surfaced are Ding Yizhen and Zhao Dehan, but the most greasy one is Deputy Mayor Ding Yizhen who ran on the plane and said that he was Tom Ding!
"Of course he is qualified as a national first-class actor, he is so qualified! Dad, who is the suitable candidate you mentioned?" Le Zehan became more energetic.

"Teacher Mu Haisheng Mu of the National Theater. He has played the eunuch Liu Jin in "Ming Wuzong", Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who suppressed the uprising in "Yellow Flowers to the Heroes", and the popular drama "Prosecutor" in recent years. "Diary", "Echo of the Mountains", etc. I can't remember so many, but his acting skills are very good. He is a national first-class actor. He can control relatively negative roles, and he can also play ordinary people like old Chinese medicine doctors and veteran cadres. role. Of course, with his image, it is more suitable for him to play a negative role. He used to play a lot of eunuchs and profiteers!"

Le Weixiang did not prepare the information in advance, nor did he read it on his mobile phone. On the spot, he spoke out the resume of the actors he recommended as if he were familiar with it.

"Mu Haisheng, National Theater, Ming Wuzong"

Jin Longbo quickly started taking notes.

Jin Longbo had no impression of the old actor Le Weixiang was talking about. Although one or two of the movies and TV series mentioned by Le Weixiang, such as "Ming Wuzong" and "Echo of the Mountains", he still has some impressions - "Echo of the Mountains" was speculated on the Internet for a period of time the year before last, and "Ming Wuzong" It was a popular historical drama on TV more than ten or twenty years ago when Jin Longbo was still a student.

But Jin Longbo only had an impression of the title of the play. He had no idea who the leading actors were in it, not to mention that most of the villains were just ordinary supporting characters.
However, when they film "In the Name of the People" this time, they need these green-leaf actors who have worked hard and polished their acting skills in obscurity.

It’s normal for veteran actors to be less famous than big-name actors, but for example, Mr. Lu Zhongze, who played Xu Jing’s father in “The Hidden Corner”, and Mr. Tong Yongmei, an 80-year-old actor who played Grandma in “Where the Wind Goes” , didn’t they also use their acting skills to create vivid supporting roles for film and television dramas, making the whole plot look fuller and more credible?

Mu Haisheng is also a national first-class actor!
Although most actors who are rated as national first-class actors are actors within the system, such as Mu Haisheng, who is an actor at the National Theater, many non-system actors are not very interested in such titles, such as Yang Yi , he doesn’t even care about the Berlin Best Actor, let alone these false reputations. Another example is some young actors who don’t even have acting skills. They rely entirely on traffic to pay for their roles. They are not rated as national first-class actors anyway, so naturally they will not pursue these.

But don’t underestimate the title of national first-class actors because of this. There are 40,000 to 50,000 actors in the country, and there are only one or two hundred national first-class actors!

Actors who can be rated as national first-class actors, even if they come from the system, are actors who have reached the pinnacle of acting skills and have achieved high achievements in the field of film and television dramas.

This gold content is much higher than any domestic grand prizes won through connections!
Later, Le Weixiang also introduced several actors to Le Zehan and Jin Longbo who he thought could star in the drama "In the Name of the People". However, because he had not read the entire script, the communication this time was just Mainly to communicate understanding of scripts and analysis of market conditions.

"Xiao Jin, when you go back, first look at their previous plays and recognize their faces. If they are suitable, contact them for an audition. If I think of any good actors later, I will tell Zehan and let him tell you. "Le Weixiang and Jin Longbo said gently.

His current attitude is much more enthusiastic than when Yang Yi first came to ask for help.

Even when Le Weixiang sent them out, he held Jin Longbo's hand and asked him and Le Zehan to come to the company to sit down, drink tea and chat when they had time.

"Dad, not only the main roles, but also the supporting roles like the chairman of the labor union of Dafeng Factory, we also want veteran actors with good acting skills to play. "In the Name of the People" is a drama with different themes from the ones we have filmed in the past, but Since it’s going to be filmed, let’s make it the best it can be, use the best actors, and make the best-looking anti-corruption drama!”

After Le Zehan finished speaking to his father, he turned to Jin Longbo and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Let my dad introduce some more candidates. If we have more choices, we can choose better ones. Anyway, it is you who makes the decision in the end."

"No, let's discuss it together. And I think the audition video should be sent to Brother Yi for a look. Only after he makes the decision will I feel confident." Jin Longbo waved his hands quickly.

Jin Longbo is now in a state of very low self-confidence, especially after the "In the Name of the People" project started. He took the lead alone, but found that he had no clue and hit obstacles everywhere.

In the past, Yang Yi was at the helm. As the assistant director, he only had to do what the director told him to do. Even what scenes to shoot and what kind of lenses to use, Yang Yi made it clear in the meeting one day in advance.

Now he even has to consider the actors one by one, so what's not to worry about?
You can still fool around without caring about the results, but Jin Longbo hopes that the first drama he directs will be as popular as "Kurst" directed by Liao Chunsheng, so he still has to rely on Yang Yi.

Listen to Brother Yi, you are right!
