Chapter 182: Weakness, Lubricant, Opportunity (please vote for me)
Respect the original work.

Adaptation is not nonsense.

This is what Zu Ming reminded Dong Deng, and it is also Dong Deng’s own insistence on filming IP dramas.

He always feels that since it is an adaptation, it must respect the original work and at the same time respect the original author.

The original author of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is called Sun Xing. He is a part-time online writer. He usually writes short series on the website, most of which focus on espionage.

You must know that most of the current online articles start with a million words. The longest online article is "The Cause of the Great Way of All Heavens" written by the Water Monkey author. It has been updated for 17 years and is still being updated.

Therefore, an online article with only 18 words like "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is really the first one.

When Huahai Film and Television bought the copyright of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", it was because it happened to catch up with the IP boom. Many popular IPs like Qidian had already been bought by others, so Huahai simply bought some less popular ones.

Otherwise, most people have never heard of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", whether online or offline? ?

Even though Sun Xing was writing about espionage and the Republic of China, he was not that old, only 27 years old, and he seemed to be quite fearful of society. When Dong Deng introduced him, Sun Xing stood up and just said, " Hello everyone'.

Next, is the introduction of the screenwriting team. This time, the chief screenwriter of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Xia Ying. This was also officially announced when it was announced before.

Xia Ying is a great master in the world of screenwriters. He has very few works. He has only three works in the past ten years, but each of his works can be regarded as a phenomenal work.

This time "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is Xia Ying's second time as a screenwriter after three years.

In Xia Ying's words, he liked this script very much. In fact, when Huahai Film and Television bought the copyright three years ago, they approached him, and Xia Ying was also very interested.

To be honest, today's script study meeting was just to meet each other, get to know each other, and then shoot the material. Everyone would briefly chat with each other, talk about their understanding of the characters, etc.

Liang Yi plays Chen Xueli, the young master of the Chen family.

Lin Xing plays Chen Xuewen, the eldest son of Chen.

Ren Shuai plays Chen Xuexing, who was raised by the Chen family.

Wei Fei plays Chen Xuewu, the eldest sister of the Chen family.

These are the four leading actors in "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and some of the scenes will even be performed in the Chen family's villa.

Although Wei Fei is not the female lead, she still has a lot of roles, and the relationship between the Chen siblings in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is quite complicated.

Family ties are naturally very close, but at the same time everyone has multiple identities.

When Lin Xing read the script, he was actually thinking about who should play the role of Chen Xuewu. First of all, this role is very three-dimensional and multi-faceted.

Chen Xuewu is the eldest son of the Chen family, and Youdao is the eldest sister and mother. It can be said that both Chen Xueli and Chen Xuewen respect Chen Xuewu very much.

Of course, it’s not just respect.

According to the setting of the original work, Chen Xuewu took over the family business when he was less than 16 years old. Because their parents were murdered at that time, the Chen Group was in a difficult situation, but Chen Xuewu took over the Chen Group and restored it. Established a firm foothold in the magical city.

The script added another emotional line to Chen Xuewu, that is, Chen Xuewu could have gotten married when he was 24 years old, but in that case the Chen Group would have been swallowed up.

For this reason, Chen Xuewu decided not to marry for the sake of the Chen family and her younger brother.

Because Chen Xuewu has encountered all kinds of difficulties along the way, she is bound to hate evil with hatred. In addition, she is the eldest sister, so it is easier for her to speak out.

When she was young, Chen Xuewu actually wanted to serve the country, but because of the Chen family, she eventually became a red capitalist.

Strong, persistent, strong, but also a little stubborn.

No matter which adjective you use, basically the role of Chen Xuewu is extremely good.

"Sister Fei, I really didn't expect you to play Chen Xuewu."

After finishing reading the script this morning, Lin Xing asked Wei Fei with a smile.

Wei Fei smiled and said: "I didn't plan to act originally. You also know that I have been helping Lao Liu select scripts recently. I want to be a good housekeeper, but Lao Liu feels that he is not in a hurry for a while, and he is following The old Dong is a friend, and this old Dong..."

Okay.

Liu Zhou was actually good friends with Dong Deng.

This really means that the circle is getting smaller and smaller.

Wei Fei said that after reading the script, her favorite character was Ying Feier, because she thought the character of Ying Feier was flesh and blood.

But there is no way, Wei Fei is simply unable to act like this at her age.

"Sister Fei, what's going on with Ling Mei??"

Ren Shuai asked Wei Fei: "Originally, Liang Yi was already parachuted as the male lead, and then suddenly a female lead was parachuted in."

"Oh, what could happen??"

Wei Fei said with a bit of disdain: "That's all."

"It's normal."

Lin Xing still said the same thing: "We just have to play ourselves well. Sister Fei, your role is not easy to play this time."

"kindness."

Wei Fei laughed: "Have you finished reading the script?"

Lin Xing nodded slightly: "I've finished reading."

Wei Fei continued to ask: "Have you finished reading the original work??"

"Well, I've finished reading."

Lin Xing said.

Wei Fei had worked with Lin Xing before. When filming "Portrait of a Murderer", Wei Fei knew how talented Lin Xing was. Lin Xing had an extraordinary understanding of every character.

You must know that during the filming, several actors listened to Lin Xing's suggestions.

Lin Xing is extremely perverted in his understanding of the character.

Because of this, Wei Fei thought of asking Lin Xing for his suggestion.

The relationship between the two was already quite familiar, so Wei Fei didn't say anything else. She got straight to the point: "So, Ah Xing, what do you think the role of Chen Xuewu is in the play?"

"position??"

Lin Xing thought for a moment and said, "I think her positioning is her weakness."

Wei Fei was a little surprised: "Weakness???"

"That's right, it's a weakness."

Lin Xing nodded lightly: "She is the weak spot of the Chen family brothers. In my opinion, the eldest sister is the person Chen Xuewen trusts most in the world. Even Chen Xuewen only feels a headache when facing the eldest sister.

Secondly, it is not to mention for Chen Xueli, because the eldest sister brought Chen Xueli up, and even the eldest sister gave Chen Xueli motherly love. She raised Chen Xueli.

There is also Chen Xuexing. In his mind, it was his eldest sister who saved his childhood and sent him to study abroad.
……

During the [Script Reading], Lin Xing did not have the opportunity to say this. Besides, during the first [Script Reading], Lin Xing just talked about various analyses. Isn't that pretentious?

But to be honest, even if Wei Fei didn't ask himself, Lin Xing would still take the time to analyze it with Wei Fei.

This kind of analysis is not an instruction, but rather a mutual discussion.

Some plots require everyone to talk to each other before they can be talked out.

Wei Fei nodded lightly at this time: "That's true. Your analysis is quite right. It's really a weakness."

Whether in the original work or in the script, Chen Xuewu actually wanted to join the underground struggle, but was declined because Chen Xuewu's character was not suitable.

She is too upright and too hateful.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Xuewu often brings trouble to the Chen brothers. "Axing, what about my character??"

Ren Shuai couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xing laughed: "You are the lubricant of the Chen family."

The word "lubricant" is perfect to describe the character Chen Xuexing.

If the character Chen Xuewen has multiple identities, then Chen Xuexing also has multiple identities. Not only that, he also has to help Chen Xuewen with things.

Even when Chen Xuewen and Chen Xueli conflict, when Chen Xuewen and Chen Xuewu conflict, and when Chen Xueli and Chen Xuewu conflict, Chen Xuexing needs to mediate.

In short, it is more appropriate to say that the character Chen Xuexing is a lubricant.

The next three people chatted about the script with each other. Wei Fei was better off. She already knew Lin Xing's ability, but Ren Shuai was shocked.

He heard Kong Wen talk about Lin Xing's ability to understand the script, especially Lin Xing's ability to understand the characters.

But that's just hearsay.

Before today, the two of them had not discussed much about the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

But after today's discussion, it's really different.

In the afternoon, the [Script Study Meeting] continued.

Different from the morning, this discussion focused on talking about the characters, and the most important thing was to talk about some lines.

Liang Yi also said some lines, which Lin Xing thought was acceptable.

"Xiao Liang is right. Then, Ah Xing, please tell us about your character."

Dong Deng said with a smile.

Lin Xing said a few lines first.

"First there is a country, then there is a family. For me, serving the country is neither a job nor a business, it is faith."

"Born here and raised here, I love this city and I have not let this city down."

……

Lin Xing was reading his lines.

He has his own feelings very much.

For Lin Xing, the character Chen Xuewen is actually really heartbreaking.

If I wish to have such a long life and protect the country, there is no need to be born in Yumen Pass.

For Chen Xuewen, he was passionate about serving the country. He threw his life behind from the beginning. He thought that the Chen family could serve the country alone.

He wanted his eldest sister not to get involved, and he wanted his younger brother to be able to study with peace of mind. He didn't even want Chen Xuexing to get involved.

But the Chen family tradition is here.

Whether it is Chen Xuewu or Chen Xuewen, even Chen Xueli, who has been naughty since childhood, also serves the country.

This is the Chen family.

If Chen Xuewu's position in the play is the weakness, and if Chen Xuexing's position in the play is the lubricant, then Chen Xuewen's position in the play is the soul.

The soul needs him to connect all aspects together.

The [script study] in the afternoon was more lively.

Most of the lead actors read their lines.

"Here, I sent away batches of children. Some were sent to the front line, some were sent to enemy lines, and some were sent to graves. Some of them were gentle, some were honest, and some were fierce. Even if they are greedy Those who are afraid of death are all good children. It's a pity that they were born in the wrong era, went to the wrong school, and got the wrong teacher."

"I want to serve the country. I like this country, but do I have a chance? Or, I love my country, does this country love me??"

"I still don't know what to do next. I always want to live under the sun, but for people like us, it's impossible to live under the sun, even if we die."

……

In the afternoon [Script Reading], some of the supporting characters, or some of the main characters, began to analyze and read aloud their roles.

Lin Xing naturally also saw some differences.

Some actors are really good at acting. For example, when I was studying the script of "The Big Brother", Ren Yi, Wang Fei and others can directly draw you into the plot.

This may also be the meaning of script reading.

After the afternoon reading, everyone had a meal together in the evening.

This is the crew's first dinner together.

However, Ling Mei did not participate.

Dong Deng just said to everyone: "Let's not drink in the next few days. Let's work together to do a better job for this drama."

No drinking, just talking.

But after the big dinner, Lin Xing had another small gathering with Wei Fei, Ren Shuai, and two other actors.

Even though everyone had known each other before, they all spoke freely about the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and even other directions.

Again, it’s all about shooting.

Back at the hotel, Xiao Nan told Lin Xing about Magnolia's upcoming red carpet appearance. Lin Xing only had to walk in a group on the "Sweep the Crime" team.

Obviously, the crew of "Just Waiting for You" did not repay Lin Xing at all, nor did they invite Lin Xing to walk the red carpet together.

how to say? ?
This crew is the only one with whom Lin Xing has not interacted much after filming. Except for the assistant director who originally filmed him, there is really no contact with anyone else.

But it's normal.

After all, Lin Xing had not been filming for a few days, so it is understandable that our relationship has not reached this stage.

The entertainment industry has always been a circle, and even though the entertainment industry usually involves fighting and killing, many times it is just a matter of human relationships.

Just like what happened in the film industry this year, there are some bad movies that you think are bad movies, and even the audience is saying that they are bad movies, but some film critics and some stars will give you good advice.

Said it was a good movie.

Previously, there was an official V who went crazy and said: "You are slandering this show like this, and I, the righteous media people, will never agree."

Do you really think of yourself as a father, or do you want to educate the audience? ?

Lin Xing has always taken warning from these.

As an actor, he just has to do his job.

He can say a few words about things that he really understands, but don't pretend to understand those who don't understand.

Lin Xing originally didn't want to participate in the Magnolia Awards this time, but he had no choice. He was in Shanghai, and it was really unjustifiable not to participate.

What’s more, this in itself is also an excellent opportunity for exposure.

Moreover, Ding Chunling also helped Lin Xing get another chance.
