Chapter 389 My White Snake
The plane is descending slowly and is about to land.
Li Qian turned his head to look over, only to see Bai Yujing still turning his head and looking out the window in a daze.
There are blue sky and white clouds, there are villages and towns as small as matchboxes under the wings, and there are almost invisible crowds.
Of course, perhaps for Bai Yujing, there... the land below the plane at this moment, this capital, this Shuntian Prefecture, this nationwide center of literary and artistic undertakings, means other things to her. much meaning.
Li Qian had no way of knowing.
It is not easy to convince her to take the role of the white lady, and even if she has already moved, it is not something that can be done overnight if she really nods in agreement at the end.
In Li Qian's view, after leaving the showbiz for many years, Bai Yujing now seems to have some subconscious resistance to the showbiz - although Li Qian can see that she should already be very interested in the role of Bai Niangzi Interested, but she still asked to go to Shuntian Mansion to take a look before making a final decision.
Li Qian knows that she has stayed here for many years, and she has her own circle of friends, so, the so-called come and have a look, maybe she wants to hear her friends' suggestions on this matter?
However, Li Qian still agreed without any objection.
For her, he didn't even go back to Shuntian Mansion, so he flew directly from Hangzhou Mansion to Xi'an Mansion, and then, after hitting the wall several times, he finally got a chance to discuss this drama and this character with her, and he talked endlessly After spending an afternoon, he was close to touching her, and then he even stayed in the hotel for two more days, waiting patiently for her to pack up her mood, bid farewell to her parents, and close her small shop, and then he graciously accompanied her. Take her back to Shuntianfu on the same flight.
Doing things like this is definitely not Li Qian's usual style. Taking the initiative to come to the door is no longer his style. After taking the initiative to come to the door, he was rejected several times. style of.
However, in order to shoot a classic white lady, he admitted it!
Just like when he ate a mouthful of stewed noodles, he almost couldn't help but said on the spot: "Is this also called stewed noodles?" But in the end he held back and praised "not bad" instead.
For this drama, he felt that his temper was almost unbelievably good.
…………
Bai Yujing looked out the window, and Li Qian looked at her.
Her expression was cold and lonely.
Since boarding the plane, she has not said a word for nearly two hours now, and it seems that the whole person has entered a certain state of contemplation.
After staring at her profile for a moment, Li Qian slightly shook his head and looked away.
However, at this time, she suddenly said, "You say, if a person starts filming in her teens and doesn't even go to high school, and then, when she doesn't want to film anymore, she is tired and tired, and Mu Ran looks back but she doesn't know what to do." I realized that I can do nothing but filming..." Having said that, she turned her head and looked at Li Qian with clear eyes, "Isn't this really sad?"
Li Qian rubbed the stubble on his chin, thought for a while, looked at her, and asked instead: "Can't do anything? Or have you found that you don't like anything else except filming?"
Bai Yujing's eyes seemed to light up.
For a moment, Li Qian even felt as if a cluster of light suddenly burst out from her eyes.
After a while, she was stunned for a moment, then pouted and turned her head away, but she seemed to be smiling, but she still said unceremoniously: "It's always difficult to chat with you!"
Li Qian shrugged.
…………
After the plane landed, the two dragged their suitcases out of the aisle.
It was Huang Wenjuan who came to pick me up.
Seeing Li Qian followed by a beautiful woman, Huang Wenjuan, who was used to the wind and waves, acted as if she hadn't seen it, and went straight to Li Qian to pick up the suitcase, and said, "Brother, let me come."
Li Qian waved his hand, then stretched out his hand to lead Bai Yujing, saying: "Bai Yujing, my white lady, she will stay in Shuntian Mansion for a few days. You will be with me all the way."
Huang Wenjuan froze for a moment, but quickly nodded, smiled at Bai Yujing, and reached out to pick up her suitcase, "Hi, Miss Bai, my name is Huang Wenjuan."
As an assistant of Minghu Culture, now Huang Wenjuan is no longer Liao Liao's little assistant. She has a lot of things on hand every day. After all, Minghu Culture now only has one general manager, Qi Jie, who can even give her a helping hand. There is no vice president, so Huang Wenjuan's position is really training people, and being busy is really busy.
But she knew very well in her heart that since Li Qian made such an arrangement, there must be his considerations, so she immediately agreed after being stupefied.
What's more, Li Qian's introduction was impressive - "My White Lady", he said so!
After the establishment of the company's video department, it has been nervously preparing for the shooting of the first TV series "Legend of the New White Snake". Of course Huang Wenjuan is a well-known person, and White Snake is obviously the heroine!
It was Li Qian who personally went to Xi'an Mansion to invite the heroine who came back after four or five days!
…………
After taking Bai Yujing's suitcase, Huang Wenjuan then called to let the car come up. But she herself dragged her suitcase and walked ahead, leaving room for Li Qian and Bai Yujing to speak.
It's just that the two of them didn't talk all the way.
Walking out of the terminal building, standing outside the glass door, seeing the vehicles passing by on the road in front of him, getting on and off, Bai Yujing's gaze suddenly became distant and dazed again.
Li Qian stood with her, and after a while, he said slowly, "Have you not been back for many years?"
She nodded, and there seemed to be some emotions fermenting in her eyes, "It's been many years."
"A lot has changed here," Li Qian said.
"Well, I know," she said.
Not long after, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove over from a distance and stopped in front of Huang Wenjuan.
Li Qian looked over, and Bai Yujing also looked over.
The driver came down to help Huang Wenjuan pick up the suitcase, put it away, and ran over quickly to take Li Qian's suitcase. At this time, Huang Wenjuan also came over and said, "Mr. Li, Miss Bai, let's get in the car." ?”
Bai Yujing took a deep breath and started to leave, but turned to look at Li Qian, "Thank you for inviting me."
Li Qian shrugged, "I'm looking forward to the days when I will keep arguing with you."
Bai Yujing smiled and pursed his lips, "It's really a very bad habit to talk poorly."
…………
Bai Yujing has already checked in, and she is quite satisfied with the hotel arranged for her by the company.
Bai Yujing got up early this morning and went out, but Huang Wenjuan and the driver were not allowed to accompany her, nor was she allowed to pick her up. She didn't come back until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Looking at her, she looked very tired and dusty. I wondered if she was Went out and walked all day.
Bai Yujing went to a community at noon, accompanied by Huang Wenjuan, and was sent by the company's car, as if to visit someone.
Bai Yujing went to a small party at night, and Huang Wenjuan stood outside the hotel, seeming to see a few familiar faces in the entertainment industry.
She stayed in the hotel all day today and didn't go anywhere. Then, she also entrusted Huang Wenjuan to go out and help her get a new phone card.
Finally, five days after arriving in Shuntian Mansion, on August 11th, Friday, Bai Yujing came to Minghu Culture Company.
Li Qian didn't mobilize the crowd, and didn't even go out to meet her. He just let her go directly to his office after Huang Wenjuan brought her over.
Bai Yujing was dressed in white clothes and trousers, looking reckless and free and easy.
Walking into Li Qian's office, Li Qian gave up his seat, but she didn't sit down in a hurry, but looked up and down curiously in Li Qian's office, and waited for Li Qian to make tea and greeted her before she sat down, with a look on her face. With a faint smile, he said: "I have to say, at your age, it's really remarkable to be able to get to this point in a few years."
Li Qian smiled, and while sharing the tea, he handed over the teacup and said with a smile: "It's really not easy, this is the only one that compliments me among the many words I heard you say."
Bai Yujing smiled, took the tea, but didn't drink it, but looked back, and looked at Li Qian indifferently.
Li Qian also looked at her and asked, "How is it? I met a lot of friends?"
Bai Yujing nodded, but then shook his head and smiled, "I haven't been here for many years, friends...not many anymore."
Li Qian smiled and said confidently: "After filming this movie, you will have more friends again."
Bai Yujing pursed her lips, with a half-smile, and didn't speak.
So Li Qian had no choice but to ask again: "How is it, your friends, what advice did you give you?"
Bai Yujing pursed her lips again, and said, "I only have two friends, but none of them suggested that I take your role."
After a pause, seeing Li Qian shrugged, a relaxed smile appeared on her face, and she continued: "They told me that if I want to make a movie, they can recommend me a better movie and a better crew."
Li Qian spread his hands, feeling helpless.
That's the reality... there's no way.
He is in the pop music circle, and now he is a big name among the big names. In the pop music circle, it is hard to find people with bigger wrists than him. A young actor in a TV series, and a novice photographer who is still in his sophomore year—even though he has the bonus of a celebrity, anyone who has been in the film and television industry for several years knows a truth. It must be guaranteed that the play is good, not to mention that the star is still an outsider, what's more, what this amateur star should do is not to be a guest star, but to be the director of a play directly?
For such a film, if all her friends would approve of her acting in it, they would not be considered true friends.
What's more, those who can be friends with Bai Yujing must be people who have already had a certain status in the film and television industry many years ago. If you treat Bai Yujing as a friend and are willing to find opportunities for her, there is really no shortage of them!
However, Bai Yujing still came to find her as promised, didn't she?
So, Li Qian asked: "So, have you thought it through?"
Bai Yujing nodded with a smile, "Of course. I am willing to start with your drama and return to the showbiz."
Li Qian gave him a high five!
"Very good!"
After a pause, he said excitedly: "What I'm waiting for is your words! With your participation, I can assure you that this drama will be popular!"
Bai Yujing smiled slightly again, and then slowly said: "It doesn't matter if I'm popular or not, I just... want to act."
…………
Now that the role of the White Snake is confirmed, the start of "Legend of the New White Snake" is getting closer and closer.
Although the roles of Xu Xian and Xiaoqing have not been finalized yet, there are still candidates. The selection of these two roles depends on the temperament and play style of the actor who plays the role of White Lady.
Xiaoqing's actor, of course, has to look for someone with a bit more edge and corners, so that she can highlight her little fiery temperament, and use it to set off the gentleness and virtuousness of the white lady, and Xu Xian... I have to say, the girl in the classic version Dressing up as a man is so classic that it has become a model, but Li Qian thinks again and again, and still does not plan to find an actress to comeo.
Regardless of good or bad, sense of substitution, etc., at least Li Qian would rather see an actor playing Xu Xian, even if the actor would be a bit more "mother".
To put it simply, what Xu Xian's character wants is to be weak, weak, and weak.
And the meaning of this role, which is the opposite of Xiaoqing, is to highlight the heroism and wisdom of the White Snake—yes, the reason why the TV image of the White Snake is so classic and unforgettable is precisely because She was made like this! All the characters around her are shaped to highlight and bring out her almost perfect image.
After thinking about it again and again, Li Qian called his classmate Zhu Qiang from the Film Academy, the 96-level acting department, and invited him to audition for Xu Xian—his role has already appeared in the popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Yes, it is a small character with only a few shots, Zhuge Jun.
He is a typical frail young man, handsome, so handsome that if he wears women's clothing and makeup, he will be three points more beautiful than girls! In addition, he is also thinner, and in ancient costumes, especially the loose robes and wide sleeves of the Song Dynasty, it is easier to achieve that feeling of frailty.
Of course, this only shows that he has met the basic requirements to play the role of Xu Xian in Li Qian's mind. In fact, in the domestic show business circle, there are still many niche students who are suitable to play the role of Xu Xian, but who makes Zhu Qiang and Li Qian match each other? The teachers are from the same school, and they usually have a little friendship in school?
It is what everyone is doing to help others as much as possible without affecting the quality. Li Qian does not think there is anything wrong with this—in fact, no matter whether it is Beijing Film Studios or Central Film Studios in another time and space, Opera, or Shunying and Huaxi in this time and space, are very powerful forces in the film and television circle.
For the same role, if A is suitable and B is not, then it goes without saying that no one will make fun of their own play, but if both A and B are suitable, whoever plays this role will not affect the quality of the whole play , but A is a stranger, and B is an alumnus of Shunying... There is a high probability that this role belongs to B, this is one of the rules of this circle.
After Li Qian's phone call was made, Feng Yumin then helped to contact him, and made an appointment with an actor who had been struggling in the TV drama circle so far, and also came to audition.
Her name is Zhong Ling, and she plays a little more in martial arts, but she is not beautiful enough, and she looks a bit boyish. Therefore, although the directors she has worked with all think that her acting skills are very good, but she has been in the industry for many years, but she has always been able to act. Some secondary roles are either important maidservants, or female knights. In short, they are very familiar, and her face can be seen in many plays, but after so many years, she has always been tepid. Can't get up.
So, before she was thirty years old, people in the circle had already regarded her as an "old actor"!
Coincidentally, the role of Xiaoqing requires an actor who can't be too beautiful, but also needs to be a little bit heroic!
…………
On August 15th, the two came to audition as scheduled.
After a trial, Li Qian immediately made a decision, and the actors of Xu Xian and Xiaoqing were settled.
So far, except for some ordinary actors who need to accompany the group have not been finalized, the main actors with slightly more roles have been finalized one after another, and the time for "Legend of the New White Snake" to start is not far away.

I have made an appointment for the third exam on the 9th, and I will go to Heze to familiarize myself with the exam room tomorrow. I will bring a notebook, but I don’t guarantee that I can write things, so there will be no change tomorrow. Please forgive me!
