Chapter 134 "The Best in the World" Is Finished (24)
Previously, there was a post on the Internet: The Tragic Ten Years of the Mesozoic Era in the Mainland...
We took stock of all the students, including Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Liu Ye...
Of course, it is indeed difficult for people to present facts and reason!
At the very beginning, all big-budget movies and TV series in the Mainland wanted to cast actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan...
If we don’t mention anything else, let’s talk about Liu Ye!
"The Promise" cast him to play the role of a ghost wolf who betrays his own people, and Chen Musheng's "Hold the Call" also plays the villain...
Including "The Golden Armor", he was asked to play a cowardly and incompetent prince...
In short, in commercial blockbusters in those years, mainland actors were always chosen to play negative roles to contrast Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.
I feel sorry for many Mesozoic actors in their prime.
But... in the five years before the Mesozoic era, mainland actors were even worse!
On the one hand, due to generational differences, our talent training comes from art schools, theater troupes, and film studios, with a ten-year break...
On the other hand, state-owned factories train actors according to types, which is actually a stereotype!
For example, when you are acting out a plot and you feel irritated and worried, the people will definitely slap their thighs first, then sigh... Finally, they stand up, take two steps back and forth, and start scratching their heads...
It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just that it’s too single!
But that’s how it all plays out.
Later, when the system was restructured, the actors had to find work on their own, and suddenly they had to compete with a bunch of already famous actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places!
Therefore, from 1995 to 2003, actors between the ages of 30 and 40 basically had no success!
Instead of looking for you, I might as well spend more money to find actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan!
It just so happens that the two male protagonists of "The Love of the Golden Branch" are both over thirty years old, so they can only audition...
"So, the four main heroines all use well-known actresses?"
"Um…"
Cao Ping nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with Director Zheng... By the way, will you go back with me?"
Shen Xudong pushed Qin Wen out: "...Qin Wen, please follow the team, she is responsible for communicating with the director..."
"...Okay, then let's talk..."
Cao Ping and Qin Wen started private chat mode.
…
Shen Xudong followed Chen Hao out of the room.
Chen Hao's mood fluctuated from happy to helpless, then angry, finally excited again, and now, he is a little panicked...
Director Hu Mei came, and she was excited. Then Cao Ping also came, and she was helpless when she learned that Zhuang Liqi had "invited" her. Then, Director Hu Mei quit, and she was very angry...
She just learned that it was Zheng Xiaolong who took over "The Desire of the Golden Branch", and she became excited again.
Why panic?
The reason is very simple. Zheng Xiaolong is very demanding in casting...
It requires constant auditions, constant costume fittings, and repeated rigorous casting!
Chen Hao was a little worried that he could not save Yuying...
After thinking too much, Shen Xudong said that Yuying was the prototype of this drama written specifically for Chen Hao.
"...Senior sister, you know Yuying's character very clearly. Is there anything else that's hard to figure out?"
"What if Director Zheng doesn't like me?"
Shen Xudong shrugged: "Then who else do you think can play Yuying besides You?"
Chen Hao was stunned for a long time and said nothing. Shen Xudong was happy: "I can't think of it."
"...You can grab Liu Ruoying's role. This Yuying is written specifically for you. Senior sister, you have some confidence!"
Chen Hao explained: "...I didn't steal it, it was Liu Ruoying who was not suitable!"
In "Pink Girl", Liu Ruoying originally wanted to play the role of a heartthrob. Not only did she apply for the role, but she also made an exception for this role by wearing a black sexy low-cut outfit to the press conference.
At the press conference, Liu Ruoying publicly stated that because she wanted to play the role of the heartthrob, she spent a long time choosing clothes and hairstyles, and even memorized all the lines in the play for the role of the heartthrob.
It's like forcing the crew to use her to play the heartthrob!
Qu Ying is also one of the candidates for heartthrob...
Then Chen Hao got the role!
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Okay, I think senior sister should prepare for the casting..."
"Where are you going?"
"...Go back to your room!"
"You won't accompany me?"
"No, the crew will finish filming tomorrow..."
Chen Hao approached him and whispered: "...I also booked a room at XX Hotel, it's very private!"
Shen Xudong swallowed, thinking that these few people in the dormitory had not had time to eat seafood, so he nodded quickly: "Then I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman!"
…
Even though he didn't risk his life, Shen Xudong was still very strong. After all, he was just called Shenxudong, not kidney-deficient!
At least not now...
The last scene of the crew is the reconstruction of Hulong Villa...
Ren Quan felt a little regretful: "It would be great if Haitang could see these!"
Nie Yuan's eyes were also a little sad, and then he answered: "Yes, because she will always live in our hearts!"
Zoom out...
"Click!"
Chief director Feng Baiyuan stood up: "I announce that "The Best in the World" has officially been completed!"
"Very good!"
"It's done!"
Everyone cheered, jumped up and down, and everyone who was familiar with them hugged...
After all, TV series are not movies, so they don’t require too much detail, but the high-intensity work in the past two months is still very uncomfortable!
Finally finished!
Chief Producer Zhuang Liqi took the microphone and came over: "Without further ado, thank you all for your hard work and efforts for more than two months. The banquet will be held tonight. You can eat and drink as much as you want. No one is in need!"
As soon as the words fell, there was another burst of cheers.
Shen Xudong also shouted a few words...
…
Shen Xudong is packing his luggage in the room...
He has to go back to BJ tomorrow morning!
There is nothing to pack, except for a few books and a few finished manuscripts - the unfinished ones are still saved on the computer!
As for clothes and stuff...
Throw it away if you can...
They're all bargains!
While packing up, Huang Bo knocked on the door and came in.
"Hey, where are you cleaning up?"
"Well, Brother Bo, have you put it away?"
Huang Bo nodded, walked over to help, and said: "I only have a few clothes...unlike you who also have books..."
Shen Xudong smiled and asked him, "How are you feeling?"
"A little sad..."
"...It's all like this when it's finished!"
"No... I'm on this crew, and everyone treats me very well..."
Good?
Well, Brother Bo got along well with the crew of "The Best in the World" and the action staff behind the scenes. Everyone was happy to play with him, and no one called him ugly or anything...
He was very satisfied with this!
"Then the wedding banquet will be held later, you can have a few more drinks..."
"must."
Huang Bo nodded, then hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Then when will my next movie be?"
Shen Xudong was surprised: "...don't you need to go to school?"
"...We only have two years. In the second year, we mainly look for jobs...Whether we go to school or not, it won't have much impact!"
Shen Xudong thought for a while: "...Let's go back first and talk about it after we get back!"
"I heard that there is another scene to be filmed?"
"It was a palace scene, and it was filmed in BJ..."
"Just at BJ? That would be great..."
"What's so good? It's about the harem. There's no room for male actors to show off...unless you want to play the role of a eunuch!"
Huang Bo was unhappy: "What's wrong with the eunuch? Playing a eunuch is also a role!"
"...Let me think about it."
