Chapter 185 Reminiscing About the Past (14)
Since "Sword" is distributed by Hong Kong's Celestial Entertainment, which mainly focuses on Southeast Asia, a group of actors with familiar faces must be recruited.
Tse Junhao, Zheng Peipei, Xu Jinjiang, Tan Yaowen, and Li Lizhen were all invited to participate.
Most of them have collaborated with Tang Ren.
Tse Junhao played the role of Yu Yutong in Tang Ren's version of "The Book of Swords and Enmities", where he fell in love with his wife Luo Bing;
Zheng Peipei is Taijun She in "The Female General of the Yang Family";
Tan Yaowen has just completed "Dandelion";
The same goes for Xu Jinjiang, who played Vulture in "The Book of Swords and Enmities" and played Tian Fan, Chenxiang's master in "Legend of Heaven and Earth: Lotus Lantern";
Li Lizhen…
It should be a personal relationship. After all, "Big Time" is a masterpiece of TVB. Li Lizhen's role as Fang Ting is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
Other supporting actors, including Lin Qing'er, Cai Yi, Ji Sanniang, including Huang Zhixian who plays the Witch King, and Sword Master Yin Ruozuo are all familiar with Tang Ren's dramas...
Except for Mr. Deng Limin, who plays Elder Shi, he must have been introduced to join the cast.
Shen Xudong met Xie Junhao who came to audition...
Quite surprised, Xie Junhao still auditions?
…
Tse Junhao was one of the first people to go north to make films. As for the reason, it was just to make money to support his family. After all, he could only act in stage plays in Hong Kong, and occasionally appeared in the works of his mentor To Kwok Wai and his friend Gao Zhisen...
Although he won the Golden Horse Award, the Hong Kong film and television environment is in decline, and he has few opportunities to star in good movies...
Good looks and temperament, strong business ability.
Gradually become popular!
However, his treatment of Yang Guang is a bit too boring...
Especially compared to Fu Dalong.
In Fu Dalong's version, he wants to do everything. Compared with the Eternal Saint King, he wants to do all the big things, but he doesn't succeed. He has great ambitions and few talents. He does so many big things together, and the harem is still so full. No matter how you look at it, he is an energetic master. , there is nothing wrong with being a little crazy;
Yang Guang, played by Tse Junhao, does not look like the Sui Dynasty, but looks a bit like the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. He has a look of kidney failure. He dare not even think about big things, let alone do them...
Shen Xudong has no filters for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors...
Why have filters?
Don't transfer the so-called status, style, and status displayed by these mainland stars to the former Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
The stars of that era were entertainment stars. To put it bluntly, they were just showmen and actors. Don't think that they had a very high status.
You see, it has been so many years since Hong Kong returned to China, and Mrs. Xiang is always confusing right and wrong. Who dares to stand up and say that she is farting?
The entertainment industry, which is full of luxury and entertainment, is already a moral depression with a moral standard far lower than that of the general public. At that time, those "Hong Kong and Taiwan movie goddesses" had extremely chaotic private lives under the screen, and how many of them were mistresses kept by wealthy businessmen. They have always been Public news.
Therefore, whenever someone praises those Hong Kong and Taiwan goddesses, I really want to laugh. It’s not like they don’t know their background…
But he misses the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the past. At least there were so many goddesses willing to take off their clothes to show off their talents!
Nowadays, female celebrities only perform for investors, bosses and other upper class people...
I have heard for some time that investors especially like the heroine design. What they want is a sense of contrast and conquest between those in front and behind!
We poor guys want to see something exciting, so we can only search for flowers secretly...
Even the best-quality M-beans look like they have plastic surgery and tattoos.
Alas, decades have passed, and we still have to find works from their generation!
No, what’s even more exciting is that those who come out now are all funded behind the scenes. They are so ugly that they still have to show off their good looks...
Back on track, Shen Xudong found a pretty good restaurant and prepared to treat Jiang Xin to dinner.
We are old acquaintances after all!
…
"Wow, it's so rich. Do you want to pick me up?"
Jiang Xin saw the dishes on the table and looked wary after sitting down.
Shen Xudong was speechless and replied: "Can I get you by treating you to a meal? You are too cheap!"
"What did you say?"
"It's okay... Come and eat quickly. It's Chinese New Year and you still have to come here for the audition. It's not easy..."
Jiang Xin picked up a piece of beef, stuffed it into his mouth, and then talked about the audition process...
Tang Ren was quite satisfied with Jiang Xin. Not only did he let her star in "Sword of Immortal", but also cast her as a co-star for Li Bingbing in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"...
As for the future...
She could see clearly that there was no powerful brokerage company behind her, and she herself was not the kind of master who was good at playing both sides...
"If you have any scenes, come to me and I'll shoot them!"
Shen Xudong was noncommittal about this and just said: "Costume dramas have become more popular in the past two years. You look good in costumes, and you have the role of Mu Wanqing as a base. Even if you don't become popular, at least you don't lack for roles, and you have a lot of roles." , you can always meet one or two popular characters..."
"…I think so."
"Actually, if people like us want to get ahead in this circle, we have to work harder than others..."
"us?"
"Yes," Shen Xudong gave her a confused look: "What? Someone in your family is in the entertainment industry?"
Jiang Xin quickly shook her head: "No... I was a drifter from Beijing before... I didn't even get into the film school..."
"Yes, you don't have a rich godfather either...we all rely on ourselves..."
"who?"
"What?"
"Aren't you talking about a rich godfather? Who is it?"
"...No one, I just refer to it generally, do you understand?"
Jiang Xin didn't eat the melon and was a little disappointed: "Oh..."
But she quickly changed the subject: "But you are amazing!"
"how to say?"
"I heard that the screenwriter of "The Condor" also approached you?"
It turned out to be "The Condor". Shen Xudong nodded: "...Yeah."
"I heard from them that Teacher Zhang Jizhong rarely cooperates with people for a second time!"
"…Really?"
"Of course..."The Swordsman" and "The Condor" both had a different group of people..."
"Actually, I am only responsible for part of the screenwriting work for "Dragon Movie"..."
"But "The Condor", you are the chief screenwriter, right?"
Shen Xudong glanced at her, and then said directly: "Let me tell you, I have no hand in the casting of "The Condor"..."
Jiang Xin asked in confusion: "...What do you mean?"
"...You suddenly mentioned "The Condor", I thought you wanted to join the group through me..."
"What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person!"
Jiang Xin waved her hand, and then thought of something: "So, someone has been looking for you recently?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "Not only that, when I went back to my hometown this time, a bunch of inexplicable relatives wanted to act with me. You said that I am just a screenwriter. How can I have the right to arrange for them to act?"
"They think acting can make money quickly..."
"But it's not easy to be an actor. There are a lot of people trying to get me to act, but I'm not even willing!"
…
The two chatted for more than two hours and then broke up. Shen Xudong wanted to send her back to her room out of politeness, but she decisively refused...
The vigilant look on his face made Shen Xudong quite hurt...
It won't happen if I ride on a horse!
A little aggrieved, he went back to his room and prepared to write something. Then Cai Yinong called him and asked him to go downstairs to discuss something...
What could Cai Yinong do with him?
Talking about the script?
We can talk about scripts during the day, why do we talk now?
Could it be that...she covets her own beauty?
Impossible. The two of them have only met three times in total. Besides, this is the room where the crew stays. If she messes around, the news will definitely spread...
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, you’ll find out when you get downstairs...
When he got downstairs, he knew that he was overthinking it, because Brother Hu was sitting next to Cai Yinong!
