Chapter 548 Attitude
Apologies in advance: Lu Lingxi said in the last chapter that Qin Jingjing was pursuing [Jin Han], but it was actually a typo, it should be [Lu Ping].
***
Just three days later, Jin Han and Han Shunzhang came to Li Qian's "manor" again. It's just that there was an extra Zou Wenhuai who came together this time.
Old Zou obviously had great opinions.
Jin Han's list of actors has basically been finalized, and it's time to negotiate contracts one by one. However, the contracted artists under Minghu Culture, five actors, and the Rose Power trio actually only got two roles. They are all supporting roles - Zou Wenhuai certainly has a big opinion!
Han Shunzhang obviously had a big head too, but he didn't distinguish anything. Instead, he chose to stand by Jin Han and silently expressed his support for Jin Han.
Zou Wenhuai said: "I don't have as much artistic attitude as you. I just wonder one thing. It's just an idol drama. How can this person act and that person act? What's the difference? Besides, you are Jin Han, she If you don’t know how to act, won’t it be over if you teach her? Will you teach her how to act?”
Jin Han shrugged, "I never teach people to act, and I don't know how to act. I just tell the actors what I want. If I can't do it, I will do it again and again. If I can't do it, then get out!"
Zou Wenhuai finished speaking and glared at Jin Han.
Li Qian frowned.
It’s no wonder that Zou Wenhuai attaches so much importance to this matter. Idol scripts are the easiest to praise young actors. There is no improvement in the status of coffee, but it is absolutely certain to increase their popularity. Among the candidates, the rose power trio is the idol group!
With the addition of Zhu Qiang, he is already famous at a young age!
In Zou Wenhuai's view, this TV series can be an opportunity to increase the popularity of the contracted artists under Minghu Culture. lost.
Only Ming Hai got the fourth male role with limited roles, and Shen Tiantian got a role that can't be called the fourth or fifth female role. Together, the two of them don't have many main shots. For this TV series, it's completely It can be regarded as the existence of soy sauce!
And Zou Wenhuai is the artist director of Minghu Culture, and helping his artists to win opportunities is the center of his work, so it's strange that he is not in a hurry.
The two of them should have already quarreled when they were in the company. When they came here, they just showed their attitudes to each other. After all, they are not young children anymore, and they did not continue to quarrel in vain. They all turned their heads to look at Li Qian.
This job, not to mention that Qi Jie is in Changsha mansion at this time, even if she is here, she can't solve it, and it can only be mediated by Li Qian.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Wang Jinglu brought in a tea tray, put it on the coffee table, and said, "Everyone calm down, speak slowly, don't make noise, come, drink tea, calm down." After speaking, one of them offered a cup of tea.
Han Shunzhang got up to take it, Zou Wenhuai bowed slightly, and Jin Han sat idly, without moving his body.
When Wang Jinglu put down the teacup, Jin Han smiled and said, "Hey, let me tell you, the problem lies with you, the proprietress, if you are willing to pick up the female number one, old Zou will be fine!"
Wang Jinglu smiled, "I don't think about accepting dramas anymore, but recently I want to take an exam in a drama troupe. I think acting in a drama should be quite interesting."
Jin Han looked at her when he heard the words, wanted to speak, but swallowed it back, he just said: "Drama? Hey... Drama! What is that sentence called, I remember it was Qianer who said, rich, self-willed!"
Wang Jing smiled, put the last cup of tea in front of Li Qian, and then left the room with an attitude of not disturbing them or interfering with any company affairs.
When she was gone, Jin Han's eyes flashed a trace of confusion, and then he glanced at Li Qian. He immediately threw away a little thought in his heart, once again stored his personal skills to overflowing, and directly hit out, "Qian'er I did recommend a suitable one, but it’s a pity that they don’t want to sell your face at all, they just called Lao Han and said that they don’t want to answer it, and then it’s over, hey...you didn’t fall too far, did you?”
There are now so many employees in Minghu Cultural Company, musicians, singers, actors, directors, and ordinary staff, adding up to two or three hundred people. Of course, there are all kinds of personalities, but in music, including the biggest name Xie Mingyuan, They all respected Li Qian very much, and all the singers and musicians worshiped Li Qian like a god, and no one dared to cock their tails at all. As for the ordinary staff, there is only one Qi Jie, and they are all suppressed, and all of them are submissive.
There are only two directors, one is Zou Wenhuai who is in charge of artists, and the other is Jin Han who is in charge of film and television, both of them dare to go a little bit out of line in front of Li Qian.
But what is more important about Zou Wenhuai is the old-fashioned street spirit of the people of Shuntian Mansion, with a bit of ruffian, a bit of unscrupulousness, and a bit of cunning that is unique to the foot of the imperial city. He is very smart, so smart that he is a little naughty. He always dares to make jokes bigger, but he can always hold his own. Everyone laughs it off, and Li Qian also laughs it off, but he will never have any personal feelings for him. What opinion.
Compared with him, Jin Han has a much more youthful spirit. He belongs to the kind of youthful and ruffian. Most of the time, when he speaks, he is quite spicy, and even makes people feel a little embarrassed.
Especially after "On the Road" lost the Yangcheng Film Festival, he should be quite depressed recently, and he is better with others, especially when he is with Li Qian, he is sarcasm inside and out.
Li Qian looked up at him, and replied seriously: "When I was filming "Legend of the New White Snake" in 1998, how many actors were invited and how many people were called, don't you know?"
Kim Han is a little stuck.
He was one of the core members of that TV series at the time, so he must understand the process. At that time, in order to find the right candidate for the White Lady in his mind, Li Qian once contacted several well-known domestic actresses, but almost without exception, they were unsuccessful.
Until later, Zhu Mingyu saw Bai Yujing's photo in an unknown small newspaper, and solemnly ran to Hangzhou to recommend it to Li Qian. Li Qian then flew to Chang'an Mansion, and finally took her down. !
In hindsight, perhaps for those actors who once rejected Li Qian, not playing the role of White Lady can definitely be regarded as one of the top major mistakes in their acting careers. If it is because they do not like the new director Li Qian And if he refuses to act, he will regret it even more. Perhaps, from the current perspective, Li Qian has been rejected by many people one after another. For some narrow-minded directors, they might end up making enemies because of this.
But from the point of view at the time, Li Qian was really just a famous musician. It was really hard for people to have confidence in him when he suddenly went to film a TV series—especially for those actors who cherish feathers It is definitely an adventure to go to an exclusive scene.
Therefore, it is normal for Li Qian to be rejected, and it is reasonable for people to refuse.
Of course, at this time, Li Qian would not tell Jin Han that there were other factors behind Qin Jingjing's refusal of the invitation. If I want to write a song or make an album for someone, I can say boldly, no one can refuse! But in the film and television industry, the current you, the current me, can't do it, whoever wants to play will act!"
Jin Han was silent.
The director of this TV series is Jin Han, not Li Qian!
Instead of laughing at Qin Jingjing for not giving Li Qian face, and not wanting to play the heroine at all, why not laugh at herself, if her brand is loud enough, it will be Qin Jingjing, a mere third-tier actor, to refuse?
Jin Han's complexion was a little ugly.
After a while, he said "Bah!", and raised his hand to slap himself across the face, "I said something wrong! I've been irritated recently! I'm sorry, buddy!"
Both Han Shunzhang and Zou Wenhuai looked at him, but no one spoke.
A new folder in Li Qian's hand has not been opened yet.
Jin Han stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's do it! The first girl Xie Bing, she is sweeter, but lacks a little independent temperament, not stubborn enough, but she should be able to teach it! The second girl Shen Tiantian No! It wasn’t that I had to suppress her in the past, she was indeed not eye-catching enough, either she wasn’t pretty, or she wasn’t shocking enough at first glance, but let her play the role of female number two Xiaoyou! Then, Ming Hai adjusted to male No. 2, when I took pictures of the white lady, I could feel that he had the smell of that demon king in the world, so it shouldn't be a big problem..."
Having said that, he looked at Zou Wenhuai, "Is this okay?"
Zou Wenhuai smacked his lips and nodded, "Alright!"
After a pause, he said to Li Qian: "Fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields, Cheng Suping, can you say hello and sign the brokerage contract with our company, how about it?"
Li Qian smiled, looked at this, looked at that, casually threw the folder in his hand but hadn't had time to open it on the coffee table, "OK, so it's settled?"
The other three nodded in unison.
Zou Wenhuai himself reversed his thinking and readjusted the arrangement. The conflict between him and Zou Wenhuai naturally disappeared without a trace. Everyone discussed for a while, and the actors of "Meteor Garden" were completely determined.
The heroine is Xie Bing - this is a bit beyond Li Qian's expectation, but since Jin Han chose her, Li Qian will naturally not intervene. Anyway, Jin Han knew Xie Bing's identity well. Even if there was a kissing scene in the script, he would definitely shoot in a wrong position given his appearance and thickness.
As for acting skills... Li Qian didn't have the slightest confidence in Xie Bing's acting skills. It can be said that it all depends on Zou Wenhuai's ability in the final filming results. But Li Qian was looking forward to it, and wanted to see how Jin Han could train her.
Then, in the "F4" that was so popular in another time and space, Wang Jinglu and Shen Tiantian's classmate Zhu Yukun changed from the originally planned second male lead to the leading actor. The second male lead was Ming Hai, and the third male lead was from Huaxia Drama. There is a boy named Wang Zhen who is a junior in the Acting Department of the college, and the male number four is a junior junior from the Acting Department of Shuntian Film Academy. He is a very handsome and very tasteful boy named Yang Ke.
Among these four people, apart from Ming Hai who signed with Minghu Culture after successfully playing Qi Baoshan in The White Snake, which can be regarded as digesting internal resources, the other three were all selected by Jin Han from the audition. Li Qian believed in them eyes, without interjecting a word from the beginning to the end.
Then, the second female lead, Xiaoyou, was finally decided on Shen Tiantian, and Du Minghua, the sister of the leading actor Du Mingfeng, was played by Cheng Suping. Teng Tangjing, a perfect woman who combines elegance, beauty and generosity, Jin Han finally chose Baiyu Jing——this role fits her best!
Then, Chen Qing and this character...continued from the point of view of not letting the fat and water flow into the field of outsiders, and without Zou Wenhuai's persuasion, Jin Han decisively chose Zhu Qiang.
From this final list of actors, Li Qian could feel that Jin Han really didn't know how to combine the existing materials in his hands to make a qualified commercial production.
For example, Zhu Qiang was strongly resistant at first, and he also had the same attitude towards Bai Yujing.
But are Bai Yujing and Zhu Qiang really unusable?
Absolutely not!
Even if they will definitely have the powerful attributes of White Lady and Xu Xian, but for an idol drama, as long as the characters played by the two of them are not too contradictory to the original plot, then there is definitely no problem , it is definitely usable!
First, the acting skills of the two of them, even the white lady and Xu Xian, are definitely enough for the filming of "Meteor Garden", or even useless!
Second, this is a modern drama, and we can ask the two characters, White Lady and Xu Xian, to bring them facial makeup memories to the greatest extent!
Third, they are only playing supporting roles, and the shots are limited!
But before, Jin Han was unwilling to use the two of them! The excuse is of course good enough, he will be afraid that the audience will directly substitute into "Legend of the New White Lady" when they see these two faces, but in fact, as long as he corrects his attitude and understands that he is going to make a qualified A big MV above the standard will know everything!
On the contrary, using the two of them to act in an idol drama can be regarded as a big challenge to his own directing ability - the white lady and Xu Xian are so popular, and the way the audience is brought in is almost unchangeable, if you can make them appear in a movie It's really awesome to break it up for everyone in an idol drama with not many scenes!
…………
After agreeing on the cast list, they chatted for a while, and the three of them got up and said goodbye to leave. Li Qian escorted them out, and when they reached the stairs, he patted Jin Han on the shoulder, signaling him to stay for a while.
Jin Han was surprised and stopped.
Li Qian did not deliberately suppress his voice, but said calmly: "Brother Jin, there is still time and opportunity in the future, don't be impatient, come a little bit. Get the foundation first!"
Jin Han thought for a while, pursed his lips, and said, "I understand what you mean...don't worry!"
After a pause, he said again: "Since I have accepted this job, I will never disappoint your trust, just leave it to me!"
Li Qian smiled and patted his shoulder vigorously.
…………
The three of them left the villa, Li Qian and Wang Jinglu sent them out.
Jin Han couldn't help but glanced back at the big house again, his personal skills erupted uncontrollably again, shook his head, and said to Li Qian, "You rich man!"
Li Qian shook his head and laughed.
