superstar director

Chapter 228 Xiao Zhao
Amidst the laughter of the Spring Festival Gala, 2008 has begun. Ning Cheng is 20 years old, and the little girl Ning Tong is also [-] years old. Ning’s parents and Ning’s mother are living a happy life now, with no worries about food and clothing, and the children have nothing to worry about, so , live younger.

After the New Year, Ning Sheng had to watch the little girl Ning Tong do her homework for the winter vacation, while summarizing the feelings of directing for the first time. After all, it was the first time. Many things were different from what others did before, so it was inevitable that there would be bumps and bumps. , now taking advantage of this period of time, I just learned a lesson and prepared for my next directing.

In his plan, there will only be three TV series, "The Legend of Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Yitian Slaying the Dragon", and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". The director went to shoot it. As for the reason, it may be because there were too many versions of Shooting the Condor in the previous life, and there were a few good ones. Ning Cheng watched too much by himself, so he was a little tired, especially because he hesitated for a long time about the role of Guo Jing. Not very suitable, so I let it go for now.

Of course, in the future, the TV series "Shooting the Condors" may wait a little longer and leave it to the little girl Ning Tong to be the source of film and television dramas. After all, as long as the role of Huang Rong is filmed well, it will definitely make an actress a hit.

However, these are not certain. Now that the filming of the Condor is finished, the next "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji" will be put on the daily routine. As for the script, Ning Sheng is almost finished. The three people with good writing skills in the company rewritten it into a novel according to his requirements and opinions, and then published it like a divine sculpture.

Like the Condor God, Ning Sheng, the main actor in Yi Tian Tu Long, has roughly been selected. Zhao Min's role is for Jia Jingwen, Zhou Zhiruo is for Zhou Haimei, Zhang Wuji was originally for Ding Xuan, but I'm afraid it can't be done now. Because Ding Xuan, who hasn't come back for the Chinese New Year, is promoting his new album everywhere in the United States, but the effect seems to be not as good as expected, so next year Ding Xuan's center will still be in Europe and the United States. Or Mr. Zheng, they will not give up easily.

Therefore, Zhang Wuji's candidate needs to be reconsidered. Besides, Ning Sheng, the role of Xiao Zhao, has considered for a long time and decided to give Emma a try. He hasn't told Emma about this matter, but they recently talked on the phone. The scene of "King of Kick-Ass" is about to wrap up, and it won't be too late to talk about it.

Xiao Zhao is a mixed race child of Persian descent, so it is not surprising that his appearance has the characteristics of foreigners. Emma dyed her hair black to play Xiao Zhao. Ning Sheng thinks it is not a big problem, especially since no one in this world knows about Xiao Zhao. Other versions, so there will be no comparison, and it will not be too entangled.

Of course, Ning Sheng's decision was more or less selfish. In addition to opening up the Chinese market for Emma, ​​allowing Emma to show her face in front of Chinese audiences, and laying the foundation for future development, the two of them filming together will naturally have several opportunities. They can live together for a month, which is definitely a good reason for Ning Sheng.

So, when Ning Cheng formally mentioned this matter to Emma, ​​even though it looked casual, he was actually very nervous. Fortunately, the troublemaker Ning Tong was no longer there, otherwise the little girl would have to make a fool of herself for Ning Cheng.

"You invited me to film?" Emma on the opposite side asked in surprise.

Ning Cheng said calmly, "Yes, this is my second TV series, and it is still our unique Chinese martial arts drama. Haven't you always been interested in our martial arts and martial arts? This time let you experience the feeling of a martial arts master." ,How about it?"

Emma said excitedly, "That is to say, the kind of martial arts that can fly around and produce special effects like explosions with a wave of your hand? It's simply amazing. I have long wanted to be a hero. Then my What is the weapon? Is it also a sword? Is there a scene where you can step on the sword and fly? Or with a wave of your hand, all my enemies vomit blood and die?"

Ning Cheng rubbed the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head, and explained to Emma helplessly, "I'm filming martial arts, not fairy tales. It's different. Your character is like a personal maid who knows some martial arts. But the power is limited—"

Speaking of which, it's all Ning Sheng's own fault. The last time Emma came to China and asked Ning Sheng to shoot the MV, and when they were at the hotel, Ning Sheng explained to Emma that there was a fairy tale drama "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" on TV. The characters in the show have cool special effects such as flying swords, so Emma never forgets the abilities of the characters in the play, saying that they are more handsome than American Superman, but the final result is that Emma confuses the mythology of martial arts and fairy tales .

"You mean that my role is just a servant who serves others?" Ning Chen had just explained to Emma the general story of Xiao Zhao's role, but Emma's rhetorical question made Ning Cheng almost die of anger.

"No, no, no, this is not a servant, Emma. This character has a very close relationship with the protagonist and is of great help to the protagonist. They are not the relationship between an employer and a servant, but a special relationship between two young people. , This is a beautiful thing that is hard to describe, do you understand?" Ning Cheng was almost at the end of his words.

However, Emma thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, Ning Sheng, your explanation is really terrible, you should send the script over and let me read it myself, by the way, how about you let me be the heroine, and then you do it Actor, how about we compare our acting skills?"

Ning Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm a director, not an actor. Naturally, your acting skills are good. As for the heroine, you can't act with your looks. In this drama, only Xiao Zhao is suitable for you. The other one can use a foreign appearance." There are few roles in this drama, and they are middle-aged and elderly people, so it is not suitable for you."

Emma shrugged and said with a smile, "Look, you are so rigid. I was just joking. As for acting skills, how do you know you can't do it if you haven't tried it?"

Ning Cheng shook his head and did not continue this topic. The two chatted for a while, and then Ning Cheng sent her Xiao Zhao's script, and then asked her to read it first. As for the formal invitation, it is still early.

At the very least, Ning Sheng felt that he had to wait until his first drama "The Legend of Condor Heroes" aired. Otherwise, without any guarantee, Julia Roberts would not agree to let Emma mess around with Ning Sheng, even if Ning Sheng Emma's popularity soared due to his music, but the director Ning Sheng is indeed a rookie. Only after the success of "Condor Heroes", Roberts may agree to it based on the Chinese market and Emma's future development in China.

Emma took the script and read it carefully. Because of some idioms and allusions, as well as the history of China, Emma kept asking and discussing with Ning Sheng. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emma was basically familiar with the role of Xiao Zhao. Now It was just waiting for Ning Sheng to call. Of course, Emma also knew that it would be difficult to get her aunt to agree to this matter, so she agreed with Ning Sheng's opinion very much. The two of them continued to familiarize themselves with the roles while waiting patiently.
