Chapter 166 Director Xu, Are You Sure This Is an Archaeological Drama?
Chapter 166 Director Xu, are you sure this is an archaeological drama?
After spending more than an hour, Xu Mu sent the group of reporters away.
When everyone left, there was a satisfied look on their faces.
However, a beautiful reporter wanted to continue interviewing him alone, but Xu Mu ruthlessly refused.
joke.
Now he is almost starving to death, and he still has to continue the interview, how is this possible? !
The audition on March 15th was a success, because Xu Mu still had suitable actors for the roles of Fatty Wang and Da Jinya.
Although their fame is mediocre, their acting skills are really good, and their character image characteristics are similar to Pan Yueming's version.
So these are enough.
As for the roles of Professor Chen and Uncle An Liman, Xu Mu plans to find veteran actors in the industry to play them.
Before that, Xu Mu also had a few preliminary candidates in mind.
But whether the other party will come or not, he is still a little uncertain.
March 17, Xijing City.
"Hello, Teacher Yang Ming, I'm Xu Mu who contacted you the day before yesterday, you can just call me Xiao Xu."
"You are Ip Man's director Xu Mu?"
"Mr. Yang, have you heard of me?"
"I've heard, I've seen Ip Man's movie, and it's not bad. By the way, I heard that your Wing Chun is very good."
"Well, it's okay, it will be a little bit."
On the 15th, Xu Mu found the contact information of Mr. Yang Ming, a well-known old drama player in the circle.
After a brief communication over the phone, they made an appointment to meet up, and prepared to discuss the issue of starring in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City" face to face.
No, as soon as he arrived in Xijing on the 17th, Xu Mu came to Teacher Yang Ming's home.
After all, to invite an old actor to act, one must visit in person.
"By the way, you said on the phone the day before yesterday that you wanted to invite me to act in a play. What is it?"
"Oh, this is the script, please read it."
After Teacher Yang Ming took the initiative to mention the topic to be discussed, Xu Mu quickly took out the script from his backpack.
Afterwards, he handed the script to Teacher Yang Ming and said, "Mr. Yang, this "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City" is an archaeological web drama, please take a look."
"Internet drama?"
After hearing Xu Mu's words, Yang Ming glanced at him and asked with a slight frown.
"That's right, it's a web drama, a TV drama that is only broadcast on the Internet."
With a smile, Xu Mu nodded lightly in response.
"Oh yes, then I'll read the script first."
Teacher Yang Ming, as an old actor in the industry, basically starred in movies and TV dramas, and most of them were major dramas and dramas.
He has never acted in a web drama like this.
After about ten minutes.
Yang Ming put down the script, although he looked at Xu Mu with great interest and asked, "You wrote this script?"
"That's right." Xu Mu nodded and replied.
"Are you sure this is an archaeological web drama?"
"Yeah, what's the matter, Teacher Yang."
After hearing Teacher Yang Ming's question, Xu Mu felt very strange.
Why would the other party ask this question?
Isn't it all written in the script? The protagonist is going on an expedition with the archaeological team, so it must be archaeology!
"It's okay, I see that you mentioned tomb robbery, and the knowledge seems to be very professional, so I just asked casually."
Yang Ming smiled and shook his head, expressing that he was fine.
However, after Xu Mu heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Good guy.
Before the filming of this web drama started, some people began to doubt it.
Can this web drama still be filmed?
Before, Xu Mu had checked the Internet, and there was no news about Jingjue Ancient City on the Internet.
Therefore, there is no Jingjue ancient city in this world.
Then, Xu Mu doesn't need to worry about what will come true when he shoots this web drama.
But now the other party's suspicion made Xu Mu feel a little wrong.
There is no Jingjue ancient city in this world, could it be that it has not been discovered yet?
If that's the case, then he's still shooting wool.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, are you okay? I read your script, and it's not bad. Although I haven't filmed a web drama before, web dramas are also a kind of TV series, so there shouldn't be any difference.
Moreover, I am very interested in your script. Well, I promise you to play the role of Professor Chen in it. "
"Ah, oh, yes."
Just when Xu Mu was thinking wildly, Teacher Yang Ming suddenly agreed to Xu Mu's role as Professor Chen in Jingjue Gucheng.
However, Xu Mu suddenly felt that he was not so happy anymore.
"Well, tell me the specific start time and shooting plan, and I'm ready to go."
Before I had time to think about it, Teacher Yang Ming spoke again.
Therefore, Xu Mu didn't continue to think too much, and talked with Teacher Yang Ming about the follow-up cooperation.
never mind.
Now that you have decided to shoot, let's shoot.
Moreover, there are so many coincidences in this world.
Xu Mu didn't believe it, he could make this web drama come true this time!
After all, he was a man who believed in science, not superstition.
After the role of Professor Chen was settled, Xu Mu went to visit another old drama master, Mr. Wang Quan.
It went well, and the other party also agreed to play the role of An Liman.
So far, all the things that Xu Mu wanted to solve were successfully resolved.
March 25th.
On this day, Xu Mu called everyone to Hengcheng in advance, preparing to familiarize himself with the script first.
After the script is roughly familiar, a launching ceremony will be held tomorrow, and then the filming will officially begin.
Xu Mu's company is naturally the place where everyone is familiar with the script.
As soon as the actors met, it was like a large social scene, bowing, nodding, and saying hello.
"Mr. Yang, hello, I'm Lu Ming. It's a great honor to meet you here today."
"Hey, Mr. Wang, you are here too. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hi Tianhou Xu, I really like the songs you sang, especially the ones on the Spring Festival Gala recently."
"Miss Lu, you don't know, I really like your movie "Manslaughter"."
"Isn't this Mr. Jiang? I really like the cook you played. It's really good."
In short, after the big guys met, they greeted each other very warmly.
That guy, the sophistication of the world, is fully reflected at this moment.
"Hello everyone, I am Xu Mu, the director of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City". First of all, I welcome all teachers to appear in my new play."
bang bang~
After introducing himself briefly, Xu Mu took the lead in applauding, welcoming the actors who came to star in his new play.
After Xu Mu applauded, the others followed suit.
"I called everyone here today, and everyone should know that it is to familiarize yourself with the script in advance, so that it will be convenient for us to shoot later."
Because Xu Mu is shooting a TV series for the first time, and it takes more time to shoot a TV series than a movie.
Among them, there must be more difficulties.
That's why Xu Mu called everyone in advance this time to familiarize himself with the script.
"Okay, I'm done talking, everyone can introduce themselves and get to know each other."
Xu Mu's self-introduction is mainly to let the older generation of actors get to know the younger generation of actors.
After all, younger actors may know them, but older actors may not know younger ones.
After the introduction, everyone had a brief exchange.
Afterwards, everyone began to read the script seriously.
After all, the purpose of Xu Mu calling them in advance this time is naturally to familiarize themselves with the script, and everyone can practice together in advance.
"I didn't read the script carefully before, but looking at it now, the content of the script looks very professional."
"That's right, these archaeological knowledge seem very professional."
"Wait, there seems to be some knowledge about tomb robbery mentioned here, and it looks quite professional."
"I don't know why, after I read the script carefully, I feel that this is not archaeology, but tomb robbery."
"How is it possible? Didn't this go to archaeology with the archaeological team? How could it be a tomb robbery drama."
When some actors were familiar with the script, they found something wrong with the script.
After all, it was said that this is an archaeological TV series, but after watching it, everyone felt a bit like a tomb-robbing drama.
So, an actor asked Xu Mu directly: "Director Xu, is our online drama an archaeological drama or a tomb-robbing drama? How do I see it? It's a bit like a tomb-robbing drama?
So Director Xu. Are you sure this is an archaeological drama? "
Xu Mu, who was paddling for fish, suddenly heard someone asking him a question, and was startled as if he had been caught fishing.
And after he listened carefully to the question, his face sank even more.
Good guy.
Why is someone asking this question again?
"Ahem, this is an archaeological drama. After all, the protagonist followed the archaeological team to find the ancient city of Jingjue."
Xu Mu looked around and stared at him, and replied after everyone who was also curious on their faces.
"However, at the tomb of General Xixia, why do I feel like I'm robbing a tomb?"
"No, no, that was just an episode. Besides, the protagonist didn't take anything. Didn't he just report it to the old branch secretary and then report it to the country? Besides, the main plot is to help the archaeological team find the ancient city of Jingjue.
So, this is an archaeological drama. Of course, there is also a bit of a tomb drama, but not many. "
Faced with some people's doubts, Xu Mu explained it seriously after being depressed for a while.
"Okay, I understand the director."
After Xu Mu explained seriously, the other party did not continue to ask.
After seeing this, Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
what happened.
Are all actors now so thoughtful?
Moreover, how can you tell at a glance that it is a tomb robbery drama?
He has been promoting that it is an archaeological drama, isn't the tomb robbery drama a bit obvious?
In addition to Teacher Yang Ming's previous question, someone raised another question this time.
Xu Mu always felt that there was something weird about it.
It seems that something went wrong.
By the way, it seems to be himself.
He has been promoting the new drama as an archaeological drama before, so when others say whether this drama is a tomb robbery drama, he cares so much.
Therefore, no matter whether the drama is an archaeological drama or a tomb robbery drama, he doesn't need to be too entangled.
Otherwise, he is the only one who is troubled.
So what if it's a tomb robbery drama!
After all, this is a script approved by the relevant departments, so there is no problem at all.
And what he has to do is to film the show.
