Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Half an hour later, Chen Fei's car stopped in front of the door.

Zhang and his entourage were not willing to openly welcome them, but they still gave them enough face and greeted them personally outside the door.

After the car parked, the back door opened and a rough, slightly sloppy middle-aged man with a short beard got out of the car. When he saw Zhang and his group, he quickly stretched out his hand to greet them, drooping his eyebrows and laughing. It was Kong Sheng.

Don't judge a person by his appearance! Zhang Yixing thought to himself, smiling and going up to shake hands with Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng started by praising, "I've read the script of 'Awakening Age', it's really great! I never thought you could write a script about revolutionary history so well!"

Zhang Yihang said modestly: "Director Kong, you are too kind!"

"No compliments. If I didn't know you wrote this script, I would have thought it was a new work by Gao Mantang!" Kong Sheng kept exclaiming in admiration until he followed Zhang and his party into the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Fei took out the tea set familiarly, and said with a smile while making tea: "This is the first time I've heard Director Kong talk so much! In my opinion, both of you are talented. Yihang wrote a good script, and Director Kong's directing ability is first-class. No matter how good the script is, it needs a good director to turn it into light and shadow. The combination of the two strong people will definitely become a good story!"

"How can I say I'm a talented person? I'm already an old guy!" Kong Sheng denied it, but his eyebrows trembled and he laughed non-stop.

It is always a happy thing to be praised by a beautiful woman, let alone a successful woman like Chen Fei.

Kong Sheng did not participate much in the previous collaborations between DreamWeaver Culture and Shanying. After all, those collaborative works were basically emotional Mary Sue dramas, which were not to Kong Sheng's taste.

So when Kong Sheng first received the script sent by Chen Fei, he did not take it seriously. However, due to the influence of Zhang Yihang and DreamWeaver Culture, he still read the script as soon as possible. Then he was really shocked and couldn't wait to meet Zhang Yihang.

The script is good, that’s one thing;

On the other hand, next year will be the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. If such an excellent tribute film as "Awakening Age" is released at this time, it will be a good opportunity for him.

As long as a TV series of this theme is well-made, it is basically a professional award-winner. It has a halo bonus when competing with TV series of other themes.

What's more, I can also make friends with Zhang and his team. This cooperation is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

Taking the tea handed over by Chen Fei, Kong Sheng didn't mind the heat and drank two big mouthfuls. He said to Zhang Yixing, "We must cooperate. If I let go of such a good script, I will definitely regret it in the future. But it's December now and time is tight. Since it's a tribute film, in order to release it before next year's National Day, we have to start work as soon as possible!"

Seeing Kong Sheng's impatient look, Zhang Yihang also said readily: "In this case, Director Kong, just assemble the crew. If there is anything we need to cooperate with, just communicate directly with Sister Fei. However, I have a few actor candidates here. Director Kong, please take a look to see if they are suitable. If not, Director Kong will choose someone else!"

Hearing what Zhang Yixing said, Kong Sheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he admired Zhang Yihang very much, it did not mean that Kong Sheng was willing to be told what to do during the filming of the TV series. Especially now, many investors in the industry like to interfere with the filming of TV series. Today, they insert a relative who does not understand acting, and tomorrow they want to change the plot, which not only affects the filming process, but also often makes the final product look weird.

There are even some bosses who directly insert their lovers into TV dramas, without caring whether this person can act or not, and some directors actually compromise!

Money is really everything!
The reason why Shanying's works are always excellent is because they stick to the bottom line. Investors only need to invest money and enjoy the profits. As for participating in the creation, unless you are really capable, forget it!
Kong Sheng was just thinking about how to refuse when he heard Zhang Yixing say, "For example, for Chen Duxiu, I think Mr. Yu Hewei is quite suitable! And for Li Dazhao, I think the actor who played Monk Wei in "Bright Sword" is quite good!"

"Yu Hewei? Zhang Tong?"

Kong Sheng frowned slightly and closed his eyes to imagine the two men playing Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao. After pondering for a while, his brows furrowed even tighter, but his eyes were open, staring at Zhang Yixing.

After a long while, Kong Sheng said, "You know what, Yu Hewei really has that smell! As for Zhang Tong, he seems okay, but I have to let him try the makeup before I can make a final decision!"

I originally thought that Zhang Yixing was going to recommend some random people, but unexpectedly the two actors he recommended seemed quite suitable, and both of them were great actors, so there was no need to worry about ruining the show.

In this way, Kong Sheng had no reason to refuse. Instead, he felt that Zhang Yixing had good vision. However, whether it would succeed in the end depended on the actor's willingness.

Zhang Yixing was happy to see that Kong Sheng was interested.

After all, these two people were really outstanding in the TV series back then, and the actor who played Lu Xun was also very good. It's a pity that the actor has not yet come to prominence, and even if we find one, his age may not be suitable!
"I just think these two are good. Whether it will work out or not, it's up to Director Kong to make the final decision. As for the others, I really can't think of anyone suitable!"

You have chosen the two people with the most scenes, which is not a small number!
Kong Sheng complained in his heart, but when he heard that Zhang Yixing would no longer recommend other actors, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

It seems that Zhang Yixing really just recommended two people and had no intention of interfering with the creation, which made Kong Sheng feel relieved.

As for whether Yu Hewei and Zhang Tong are related, as long as their acting skills are good and their image fits the bill, who cares!

In addition to Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, the script of "Awakening Age" also features many outstanding characters.

Kong Sheng has been a director for so many years that he naturally knows a lot of good actors. If he can bring these acquaintances over, and everyone has worked together many times and knows each other well, the filming will definitely go more smoothly.

Zhang Yixing didn't know what Kong Sheng was thinking, but he had no intention of interfering with his creation. After all, this man was really amazing and worthy of his complete trust. If he kept interfering and influencing him, it would be bad!
After all, talented people often have temper!
They drank tea and chatted. After the three of them finished discussing the filming of the TV series and finalized the time for signing the contract, Kong Sheng left impatiently and seemed unwilling to wait even for dinner.

He had to quickly set up the crew and select actors. A tribute film could not afford to be careless, so he had to personally take charge of each task! (End of this chapter)
