Chapter 529 Turn On

The actors of "Underground Traffic Station" have been basically decided.

But there is still one soul figure that has not been determined.

The role of Captain Jia Gui.

This kind of role requires both the actor's acting skills and the actor's appearance.

Other roles are easy to decide, but Tan Yue needs to think carefully about this role.

For the role of Jia Gui, Tan Yue and Lin Qingye have discussed several times in the past two days.

Finally, among several candidates, Li Baoshan was selected.

Li Baoshan is an old actor in the circle. He is over 50 years old this year. When he was popular, the predecessor of the public figure list, the artist list, had not yet appeared, but according to the classification of the status, he was also a first-line actor at the time.

But later, with the development of the times, many old actors could not get roles. Li Baoshan could get roles, but he could not find a good script. In addition, he was old and gradually withdrew from the film and television industry. Of course, if he encountered a good script, Li Baoshan would still be willing to come out again.

Tan Yue and Lin Qingye went together to invite Li Baoshan.

Li Baoshan didn't care much about the pay, he didn't lack money, and didn't pay much attention to the quality of life. He just read the script of "Underground Traffic Station" and agreed to it.

Even if he was far from playing a villain, Li Baoshan didn't care. What he cared about was the quality of the script and whether it could allow him to show his skills.

Obviously, Li Baoshan was satisfied with "Underground Traffic Station" and the role of Captain Jia Guijia.

After the role of Captain Jia Guijia was decided, the audition of "Underground Traffic Station" was officially over.

Two days later, the audition results of "Underground Traffic Station" were decided and announced to the public.

Wang Yue played Cai Shuigen.

Ma Guoliang played Sun Youfu.

Qin Haoyang played Xiao Shitou.

Li Baoshan played Captain Jia Guijia.

Tan Yue also made a cameo appearance in this drama, playing Shi Qingshan.

On the Internet, some netizens who paid attention to this news left messages:

"Ah? Teacher Tan Yue is going to have a new drama again?"

"Looking forward to it, there has been no drama since "The Lotus Lantern".

"Oh my god, Wang Yue is also the lead actor in the new drama. I like him very much. The action scenes are superb!"

"Oh my god, what did I see? Li Baoshan? Didn't this big guy quit the entertainment industry? But I haven't seen his drama for a long time."

"When I was a child, I often watched the dramas of Mr. Li Baoshan. Later, I don't know what happened, the old man actually stopped acting."

"Covering my face and laughing, the brother above is not addressing me correctly. Teacher Li Baoshan seems to be only in his fifties, not even sixty. It's a bit inappropriate to call him old man, right?"

" Hahaha, many fans of Mr. Li Baoshan like to call him old man. He looks old. He has looked like this since he was young, and he still looks like this now. "

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember watching Teacher Li Baoshan's dramas when I was a child. I thought he was always an old man. I didn't expect that my mother would scold me. I didn't know that Teacher Li Baoshan was only 30 years old at that time."

"I have rarely seen Teacher Li Baoshan's dramas in recent years, but the dramas that Teacher Li Baoshan participated in must have no problem with quality. There are no bad dramas."

"Fuck, what did I find? Teacher Tan Yue secretly wrote a new drama?"

"The actors have been decided. It is estimated that filming will start soon. I wonder if we can see it by the end of the year."

In a courtyard in Dongcheng, Beijing.

Li Baoshan was sitting under the shade of a tree in the yard to cool off.

He was humming a little tune, shaking a palm leaf fan in one hand, and holding a purple clay teapot in the other hand.

When Tan Yue and Lin Qingye came to Li Baoshan before, Li Baoshan said frankly that he was not interested in the pay. As long as the script was of good quality, he could even act for free.

Of course, Tan Yue would definitely not really give Li Baoshan zero pay, but what Li Baoshan said about not caring about the pay was indeed true.

He was not so materialistic in his pursuit of life, and he was not short of money. He had three courtyard houses in Beijing alone, and some other properties, which were worth at least several hundred million yuan in total.

Li Baoshan became famous thirty years ago and was a first-line actor at the time.

But Li Baoshan's thinking was relatively traditional. He didn't spend the money he earned, but used it all to buy houses. He bought houses in many cities across the country, with the most in Beijing.

At that time, many people still joked about Li Baoshan, saying that they were living a tight life, but they used all their money to buy houses.

But later, with the development of the times, housing prices in all parts of the country have been rising again and again, especially in BJ, where housing prices have doubled by who knows how many times.

The colleagues who laughed at Li Baoshan at the time can no longer laugh now.

When Li Baoshan was young, it wasn't that there weren't people who were more popular than him. On the contrary, there were many. But now, those who were more popular than him are basically not as rich as him, and some of them even have problems with food and clothing.

Li Baoshan was leaning on the recliner and swaying. Suddenly, the phone on the small table next to him vibrated.

Li Baoshan stopped humming the little song, opened his eyes, put the purple clay teapot he was playing on the table, picked up the phone and looked at it. It was a call from a friend.

Li Baoshan pressed the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and said, "Hello, Lao Xie, what's the matter?"

The voice of Li Baoshan's friend Lao Xie came from the phone, "Lao Li, I heard that you took another play?"

Li Baoshan laughed and said, "Hey, you are well-informed. You know I took a play so quickly even though you are on the Sichuan-Tibet Plateau."

This Lao Xie is an old actor who lived at the same time as Li Baoshan. Later, the new generation of actors rose up, and young actors became more and more popular. Old actors could no longer get roles, and many of them went silent. Lao Xie was one of them. .

Although Lao Xie is not as rich as Li Baoshan, he earned a lot when he was young, which is enough to guarantee him a lifetime of wealth.

In the past two years, Lao Xie has not been doing his job properly and has become obsessed with cooking and traveling.

Recently, Lao Xie went on a trip to the Sichuan-Tibet Plateau and sent Li Baoshan some pretty good photos every now and then.

Li Baoshan knew that Lao Xie wanted him to travel with him. Traveling alone was boring.

But after Li Baoshan praised the beautiful photos that Lao Xie used to seduce him, he didn't answer the question at all.

Lao Xie said: "There are many people who know this. I also heard what others said. I remember you said during the Spring Festival that you would take a good rest this year and not plan to take on any more movies. Why are you suddenly filming again now? What's wrong with this movie? The quality is very high?”

Li Baoshan gently shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the script of "Underground Traffic Station" appeared in his mind.

Li Baoshan hummed and said, "Yes, I just valued the quality of the script and the producer was reliable, so I accepted it."

Lao Xie on the other side of the phone seemed a little bored outside and asked, "Oh? What kind of drama is that? Tell me about it."

Li Baoshan rolled his eyes and said: "I'm sorry, I am a professional actor. I won't reveal it to you before the TV series starts. I can only tell you that if this TV series can really The script is authentic and it is definitely a classic. Lao Xie, just wait until the TV series starts airing and see for yourself whether the quality of the TV series is high."

Li Baoshan's words scratched Lao Xie's heart like a kitten's paws.

But Lao Xie also knew that if Li Baoshan didn't want to say it, he definitely couldn't.

"Okay, you old Litou, if you don't tell me, I'll go find someone else to ask." On the phone, Lao Xie snorted and said, after finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Li Baoshan is not angry either. The two have been old friends for many years. This is just a joke, not really angry.

Li Baoshan did not put down his phone, but continued to look at his social software.

Not only Lao Xie, but also other people sent messages asking about taking on new dramas.

Li Baoshan responded one by one, including one of his fans.

Li Baoshan didn't know what the so-called fantou meant at first, but after asking someone about it, he found out that he was the head fan.

Li Baoshan still likes his fans.

Unlike some celebrities nowadays, who completely treat their fans as tools, tools and leeks used to transfer money.

Artists of the older generation know very well that the reason why they can live a good life is to rely on the love of the audience and the support of fans. A person can make or break a boat. Without the support of fans, no matter how powerful they are, Actors, they all have to die.

Therefore, Li Baoshan has always attached great importance to his fans.

Fantou is also a hub for Li Baoshan, who doesn’t use Weibo very much, to communicate with his fans.

After discussions between Tan Yue, Lin Qingye, Qian Tao, Wu Gong and others, the start date of "Underground Traffic Station" was set on July 1st.

This day is not only an auspicious day in the zodiac, suitable for starting up the phone, but it is also a new month, with a new moon and a new atmosphere.

July 1st, morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Capital city, suburbs, film and television base.

The sun is shining brightly in the summer, which is not a good thing because it is too hot.

There are many crews filming in film and television bases, and some filming locations even have multiple crews filming at the same time. After one crew finishes shooting, another crew waiting next to them quickly seizes the time to shoot.

Under the scorching sun, the rich celebrities got into the nanny's car to blow up the air conditioner. The poor extras and staff could only endure the sweltering heat. If they were lucky enough to be closer to the fan, they could still get some air. But even if The wind that blows is also hot wind.

In the northeastern part of the film and television base, there are buildings from the Republic of China. There is also an old tram on the main road in the middle, which gives it an atmosphere of the Republic of China.

This is where "Underground Traffic Station" was filmed.

"Underground Traffic Station" is not like "Lotus Lantern". This is a sitcom. From the nature of the TV series, this drama is destined to be a small-cost drama. There are not many scenes that need to be used. It does not need to be like "The Lotus Lantern". "Baolian Lantern" is like running around for scenes, and basically all the scenes needed by the crew can be met here.

For some scenes that are not available in the film and television base, the crew can build them by themselves, which does not cost much.

This area has been reserved by the Bright Entertainment Company, so there is no need for several crews to squeeze into one filming location and take turns shooting like other small crews.

There were many people standing on the main road, and at the front was a row of wooden tables.

On the wooden table, there are many tea trays, and in the middle is an incense burner. On both sides of the incense altar, there are pig heads, chicken, duck, fish and many fruits.

Tan Yue doesn't attach much importance to this kind of start-up ceremony, but it is a rule. Taking a good omen can also stabilize the morale of the army. Tan Yue does not attach importance to it, but other people in the crew do, ordinary staff, and actors also attach importance to it. Including Lin Qingye, Lin Qingye did not stop arranging these things at the startup ceremony, and even participated in it personally.

In front of the desk, the main creative staff of "Underground Traffic Station" stood in several rows, each holding three sticks of incense in their hands.

After bowing three times to the table, they took turns to light incense.

Tan Yue was the first one to light incense, followed by Lin Qingye, then Li Baoshan, who had a long history, and then Wang Yue, Ma Guoliang, Qin Haoyang and others.

Soon, all the incense in the hands of the people were inserted into the incense burner.

After some procedures, the opening ceremony of "Underground Traffic Station" was officially over.

Tan Yue stood aside, watching the busy people, and said to Chen Ye beside him, asking her to go to the supermarket to buy a few boxes of ice cream.

Of course, this money was also paid by Tan Yue himself.

You can also ask the company to reimburse, but there is no need for this. Tan Yue's wallet is already bulging.

Several variety shows are very popular, and various incomes have poured into his pocket, especially some copyright income, which is really a big deal.

And "Baolian Lantern", the fourth round of broadcasting rights have been sold.

By now, Tan Yue has more than 137 million yuan in his card.

Although he has hundreds of millions of yuan, Tan Yue is not a miser. He is still happy to pay for a few boxes of ice cream.

Of course, although it is more than 100 million, it is not a small amount of money compared to ordinary people, but for many stars in the circle, this amount of money is really not much.

Some time ago, a star in the circle was found to have evaded taxes and was fined 800 million yuan.

Wow, this is an astronomical figure!

But what is equally shocking is that the star took out 800 million yuan on the same day and paid all the taxes.

So, even though he has more than 137 million yuan now, Tan Yue still maintains a humble attitude. Compared with his peers who are worth hundreds of millions or even billions, he is still a lot behind.

He gave the car keys to Chen Ye and asked her to drive to buy it.

Tan Yue played a cameo role in "Underground Traffic Station" as Shi Qingshan, the King of Force. This role is very important in the play and leaves a deep impression on the audience, but there are not many scenes, so it does not interfere with Tan Yue's daily work in the company.

The filming location of "Underground Traffic Station" was chosen in Beijing Film and Television Base instead of Hengdian, which was also for the sake of taking care of Tan Yue, so that Tan Yue would not be too tired to run between the two places. Of course, the main reason is that the filming location of "Underground Traffic Station" is simple, and there is not much difference between filming in Beijing Film and Television Base or Hengdian.
