Chapter 894 Recording in Progress

"I heard they said you were coming, but I still didn't believe it..."

"Let me take a look at the actors... We need several young actors to prepare several plays..."

"...Choose actors?"

"Well, let's take a look first..."

I chatted with Brother Chen Kai for a few words, then went to visit Zhang Jizhong, Shi Nansheng, and Xu Anhua, and finally went to meet Ning Hao...

Oh, Shi Nansheng and Xu Anhua came here temporarily to replace Xu Ke, because Xu Ke wanted to promote "The Dragon King of Gods"!

"The Dragon King" was released for four days and directly secured its dominance in the National Day schedule - accounting for more than 40% of the market, once close to 50%...

"Tai Chi", "Dangerous Game", "Looper" including "Double Exposure" cannot be played at all!

As of October 1st, the cumulative box office of "Dragon King of Shendu" was 207.4 million. Among other films, the highest box office was "Tai Chi". The box office in four days was just 38 million. This is still because the box office on the first day was 12 million...

"Tai Chi" is so miserable, it stands to reason that the other three should be even worse...

On the contrary, the other three movies are also around 30 million...

Mediocre, but explosive.

The hit point of "Tai Chi" is the publicity, "Second Exposure" is a erotic drama, "Dangerous Liaisons" is also an erotic drama, and the hit point of "Looper" is the Hollywood movie...

Coming back, Shen Xudong chatted with Ning Hao for a while, and the latter said that he still couldn't stand the variety show recording.

"It feels awkward. Many times, I am not satisfied with the script, but I still have to bite the bullet and direct these actors."

"Just make some money... Treat it like a job... How can work be satisfactory?" Shen Xudong advised, and asked by the way: "How much do they pay you?"

"Eight figures!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "I made eight figures in three months of recording... What's wrong with being sad? You are allowed to make money easily. Do you think you are a star?"

"Can celebrities make money easily?"

"Of course." Seeing that Ning Hao wanted to say something, Shen Xudong didn't bother to explain. He just said, "You will know later!"

what do you know?

Many variety shows in later generations just hired guests at a high price to take a vacation, tell jokes casually, and earn high salaries.

Not even a horse riding game is designed!

Is this thing also called a variety show?

Just like boiled water...

Just like this, there are still a bunch of celebrities saying they can’t stand it...

…

The program was officially recorded. When Shen Xudong appeared on the stage, he first chatted with the host Zhang Guoli:

"I don't usually appear on many shows. When I first debuted, I wanted to sell books, so I took on a few variety shows, but I didn't find them interesting. The questions asked were very fixed and they all followed the text. Later, I participated less and less. It’s a variety show…”

"Then you're coming this time?"

"Casting, my new movie is being prepared and I need a few young actors..."

"Have you watched the show "I Am an Actor"?"

"Yes... I came here with a goal in mind!"

After a simple opening, Shen Xudong sat at the judges' table, greeted several directors, and then watched the performance...

The program flow of "I Am an Actor" refers to "Actors Please Take Your Place": the design of the performance area is a movie-level art layout + live performance + real-time photography...

The first set of performances is a classic excerpt from "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", which is the incident on the basketball court - Murong Yunhai beats the other three and then become good friends;

Zhang Yishan, Wei Daxun, Dou Xiao and Yang Yang performed...

To be honest, this paragraph made Shen Xudong feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a lump in his throat...

The main plot and lines are so retarded!

Oh, Ning Hao was responsible for this part. After the performance, Shen Xudong couldn't help but speak first: "Ning Hao, didn't you adjust the script after reading it?"

"...The sequence and transition of this scene are all logical. I really can't think of how to adjust it..."

"Just be lazy!"

Zhang Guoli interjected: "Xudong, please comment first... You seem to have written idol dramas too?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "I did write it! Not long after I started my business, I wrote "Come on! Good-for-nothing Boy", which was more of a comedy and didn't sell well. Later I watched a few Korean dramas and wrote "My Love from the Star" "There is also "Into Innocence"... But the idol dramas I write are all outside the campus, because we have regulations that do not allow romance in school... so..."

"What about "Let's Watch Pop Rain"?"

"Meteor Garden, the remake of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", if you follow the logic, this kind of drama can only take place on campus, and it is a high school campus. It is a love story between an ordinary girl and a rich boy... "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" puts the plot into perspective It has been moved to college... but the behavioral logic of the characters in the play is still that of high school students... so it is very inconsistent, but fortunately, as long as the casting is correct and the plot framework is established, this type of drama will usually arouse discussion. After all, the core of this story is love. !”

"So what do you think of their performance?"

"It's okay...I just feel a little awkward..."

"awkward?"

"This is my problem...I have no way to invest in this kind of drama with weak logic..."

"Then who do you think plays the best role among them?"

Shen Xudong glanced at the four actors, and then said: "They are all not very good. I will listen to the suggestions of the four teachers first!"

It's true that the acting wasn't very good, I guess the actor wasn't in the mood.

It's normal. Such a bloody drama is too powerful for the actor's own sense of belief.

It’s hard for actors to get into character…

Several instructors also started to comment...

Then Brother Chen Kai talked about casting, and first asked if Shen Xudong had any casting skills. Xudong thought for a while and said: "I'm not particularly good at adjusting actors' performances, so casting is very troublesome for me. In addition to the actors themselves, Corresponding to the role, on the other hand, actors must have certain acting skills..."

"Then how do you judge an actor's acting skills?"

"I have always felt that an actor's role is more important to complete a character than acting skills... Liu Xiaoqin is such a good actor, but she is almost 60, and she still plays a girl... I can't accept it, Cihai, and Zhang Ziyi I can’t watch chick flicks either..." At this point, Shen Xudong spread his hands and said, "The audience’s life is also life, why do you have to challenge the audience’s aesthetics?"

The whole audience burst into laughter…

Ning Hao smiled and asked cooperatively about the casting process for "Tang Detective" - ​​this is the process...

"First of all, Wang Baoqiang... After watching "Mr. Tree", I felt that Wang Baoqiang was too malleable... Tang Ren in the drama "Tang Detective" was created based on him;

Then Detective Qin Feng found Bai Jingting. In order to determine the actor, I found seven or eight young actors who were similar to him, and then arranged for more than a dozen groups of girls to play games with them, playing cards and so on. Finally, I I asked the girls which boy they liked the most, and Bai Jingting ranked first, so I chose him! "

"More than a dozen groups?"

"Yes, people of different ages... My expectation is that Qin Feng does not have to be very handsome, but he must be lovable... Because as a detective, Qin Feng is a combination of divinity and animality. As a detective, he needs to stand in the perspective of the murderer. To feel it, it is said that those who fight with wild beasts should be careful not to become wild beasts... Let’s not talk about this and continue reading!”
