Chapter 444
"Damn, there are so many characters, no wonder the company called them all back!"
"Three heroes, two clouds, seven dwarfs and four major disciples, aren't these the Emei sect in "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"?"
"There are also seven sects: Putuo, Ziyun, Kunlun, Biying, Tianji, Beihai, and Yushou.
"There are dozens of characters in this list. Is it possible to film so many characters in one movie?"
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Li said? This is a series of movies. The story of the first movie will definitely only revolve around these characters in Shushan, and the others will be just backgrounds. Other movies may be played in the second and third movies. Human drama.”
After getting the character list of "Shu Mountain", the artists of Light and Shadow Era began to communicate in whispers.
This character list is indeed very rich, with a full list of forty or fifty characters. If the importance of the characters is not considered, it is more than enough to assign a role to everyone present.
And to be honest, except for the male protagonist Taiwu Zhenren Li Wei, no one can tell which other characters are important.
After all, Li Xiaoping said that although some characters do not play a big role in this film, they may play a lot more in the sequels of the series.
A character who in the first movie could only serve as a background supporter during the eight-sect sword fight might have a lot of high-profile plot points in the next movie. It's all possible.
That's the beauty of the series.
However, most actors who consider themselves to be of higher status still want to fight for important roles, such as the male protagonist's senior brother, senior sister, junior sister, etc.
These characters' roles in the first film are important supporting roles second only to the male protagonist, and they are members of the protagonist group.
Although Li Xiaoping's current pie is big and sounds good, who knows if this "Shu Mountain" series of movies can really be made into a series?
If only one part of this series is produced but not completed, or if it is canceled due to poor performance, then even if some characters have important plots later, it will not be possible to film it!
Ten birds in the bush are worth less than one in the hand. Most actors who have been in this industry for a long time know it well.
If this movie was a series that Wu Yuan himself wanted to make, then they would still be willing to take a gamble.
But this is just a movie produced by a company, so it’s not worth giving up the present and gambling on the future.
"Tangtang, I think this role of senior sister is very suitable for me!" Yang Mi pointed to the character list she just got and the accompanying character biography, and said with confidence: "Extraordinary temperament, cheerful personality, and the responsibility of rejuvenation Shushan's pressure is because she is the senior sister, so she has always been calm in front of the disciples, but in fact she also has a little daughter side in private. "
"Isn't that what you're talking about?"
"If Sanqi can't play the role, it would be good to play the senior sister."
Hearing Yang Mi's words, Tang Yan couldn't help it anymore and rolled his eyes: "Are you sure you didn't choose this role because the senior sister is the hero's crush?"
"As the hero's favorite person, she will be resurrected even if she dies. She can become an important heroine in this series of movies."
"Oops." Yang Mi waved her hand and patted Tang Yan on the shoulder pretending to be angry: "When I choose a role, I never care about whether the role is heavy or not, I just see whether it suits me!"
"..." Tang Yan fell silent.
When it comes to being an actress, she still has a lot to learn from Yang Mi.
Not only the two of them, but also the other actors in the conference room started chatting with their familiar classmates after receiving the character list.
The artists of Light and Shadow Era are all familiar with each other and have acted in at least 1-2 dramas together. After all, the company's resources are given priority to its artists.
Jin Sha, who was privately dubbed the "Big Sister of the Light and Shadow Era", was surrounded by actresses such as Jiang Xin, Hai Qing, and Wang Ou who later joined the company, and they were chatting with each other.
Jiang Xin, a big girl from the Central Plains, said distressedly: "Sister Shasha, it seems that the role of this junior sister belongs to you."
"I want an actor with a sweet temperament, pure and lovely character, and I'm talking about you, right?"
Although Jiang Xin has played many roles such as sister and daughter in the past few years since her debut.
But she knew that she was actually not suitable for this kind of role, and she wouldn't be able to perform well in this kind of role.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is popular enough, but all the actors who starred in this drama became very popular after the show was aired.
Jiang Xin, who played two roles in the drama, hardly gained any fame after the TV series was aired, and not many people paid attention to who played Jiang Waner.
She knew very well that by acting like a little girl, she would not be able to leave a memorable point for the audience. If she wanted to perform well, she must choose some roles that truly fit her image and temperament.
That is, the kind of female character who is carefree and cheerful.
In her heart, she was not interested in the role of "Big Sister", but she knew that she was one of the least ranked actresses in the company, and it was difficult to compete for such an important supporting actress, even It can be regarded as the title of a borderline heroine.
Unlike Jin Sha, the role of this junior sister seemed to be tailor-made for her. It was obviously written by the company's screenwriter according to her acting style.
It can be seen how influential Jinsha is in the company's screenwriting department.
After all, the first few projects the company's screenwriting department worked on were to perfect the scripts of idol dramas such as "Destined to Love You" and "The Sheep-Herding Star"
The writers in the screenwriting department looked at Jinsha as if they were looking at their own younger sisters.
"No, no, there's no one but me." Jinsha was not as sure of success as Jiang Xin thought.
She said worriedly: "There are too many actors in the company who are better than me."
"Yang Rong is also suitable for this role."
Yang Rong, he is also one of the actors Wu Yuan suggested to sign into the company.
She starred in "The Best of Us" in the company's youth trilogy. Next, the company plans to make a TV series called "In the Name of Family" and also plans to let her play the heroine.
Her acting style is highly overlapping with Jinsha, the only difference is that Jinsha is a little sweeter than her.
"And Su Chang, she is also suitable for this role." Jinsha added without confidence.
Su Chang is not a contracted actor of Guangying Times. She is still a family-style agent, and her family is responsible for the agency business.
But because she has a good relationship with Liu Yifei and is one of Liu Yifei's girlfriends, and she is not a contracted artist of other big companies, which is just better than running a solo, so she is also considered half of Guangying Times's non-staff staff.
If there is a role that is just right for her in the Light and Shadow Era, she will generally be allowed to play it because of her relationship with the future boss lady.
Although Su Chang is more suitable for playing the kind of quirky roles, the sweet little sister can also be competent.
"Oh, the pressure is so great." Jinsha sighed with her face in her hands.
"Okay, that's the way it is." At the top of the conference room, Li Xiaoping saw that everyone was looking at the role list. After various discussions, she put away the documents in her hands and stood up with other executives and said:
"In the next two days, you will figure out and choose the role yourself. Stay in Beijing and don't run announcements."
"Two days later, the internal audition will officially begin. Those who don't come by then will automatically be regarded as giving up the audition for these two movies. There will be no second chance."
"That's it, see you in two days!" (End of this chapter)
