Chapter 359 Everything Is a Coincidence, the Spring of Spy Dramas Is Still Here
"Minning Town" is a story about poverty alleviation, or in other words, it was a proposition composition model from the beginning.
According to Ding Chunling, this drama was originally a mission drama, and it was a creative proposition. The main purpose was to create the drama based on the "Minning model" of collaboration between East and West.
The role Lin Xing is auditioning for belongs to the show's male lead, Cheng Hao. According to the setting, the age of this character also ranges from 19 to over 40 years old.
When he first appeared on the scene, he was a young and prosperous agricultural school graduate. Then he was seconded as a grassroots cadre, and at the same time led the villagers step by step out of poverty and achieved common prosperity.
When experiencing life, Lin Xing read some information on the spot and also interviewed some people to learn about the origin of this script.
After all, the writing of this script is quite solid. Like many previous poverty alleviation themes, they are all fake space. They are typical of shouting slogans, and many of them are blindly praising.
But this time is different.
The screenwriter this time is Wang Haifei. The scripts he writes are always relatively realistic. In particular, Wang Haifei said in an interview that he went to many interviews to write this script, and Wang Haifei said that this is not a starring role. , this is a group portrait, mainly depicting many poverty alleviation cadres.
This is indeed the case. After reading the script, Lin Xing's first impression was that it was a group scene, so Lin Xing wanted to take it even more.
Some people may worry that they will be suppressed in the group portrait scene, but for Lin Xing, it is quite enjoyable.
Just like "Death Knell", or like "Always On", which is now scheduled to be released, even for Lin Xing, "Always On" is far better than "Death Knell".
The strong here refers to the collision between everyone when acting, especially Xie Qiang, who teaches actors that they are not ordinary strong.
It can be said that Lin Xing feels that after playing "Never Stop", his understanding of the script and even the characters has improved.
This possibility is because he doesn't know where to start, or Lin Xing doesn't know how to express it, so he didn't express it in "A Day's Journey with Mi".
After all, casually saying that I was filming "Never Stop" feels like a step forward. It's as if the show has been aired before it even started airing.
According to industry insiders, popping champagne at halftime is likely to get you slapped in the face.
Therefore, when "Always Connected" has not yet started airing, Lin Xing tries not to brag at this time.
The most he can say is "I have confidence in "Never Stop"."
In the end, it’s up to the audience.
This time, although "Always Offline" has been scheduled to be released on February 3, "Always Offline" only released stills.
Whether it's Lin Xing or the other actors, it's hard to distinguish between good and evil.
But everyone knows that Lin Xing must be decent, but because of this, everyone wants to know how Lin Xing will act.
Therefore, in the past two days, there have been a lot of discussions on the Internet about "Always Offline", and today it has grabbed a wave of popularity with the official announcement of "Minning Town".
This is a big pie.
The screenwriter of "Minning Town" is Wang Haifei, and this time the director is Tao Lian.
Tao Lian is one of the few outstanding female directors in the TV drama circle, and she has a small quantity but extremely high quality.
This time she came to direct "Minning Town" for the first time in almost five years.
With a lineup like Tao Lian + Wang Haifei + Bohai Film and Television, who wouldn't be jealous of it?
"Okay, there should be quite a few people trying out Cheng Hao this time."
Lin Xing listened to Ding Chunling's arrangement and asked directly.
"More than a few."
Ding Chunling shook her head and said: "Nowadays, many artists of the younger generation want to grab it. In addition, even a few in their 40s also want to grab it..."
In short, there are too many people who want to compete in this big pie.
"okay, I get it."
Lin Xing was not surprised.
The launch conference of "Always On" has been scheduled for the end of the month. This launch conference is an advance viewing of the film.
You must know that today's TV dramas are paying more and more attention to publicity, and many TV dramas will even conduct road shows in advance.
But the promotion of "Always On" was even stronger this time, and he directly launched a three-city road show.
Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Jinmen.
The first stop for watching movies is in the Imperial Capital.
And it was set for the end of the month, which is January 30th. As for the audition of "Minning Town" after the official promotion, it was set for January 28th.
"What a coincidence."
In the evening, Lin Xing and Liu Zhou made an appointment for dinner. Wei Fei was also there. When he heard that Lin Xing was going to audition for a play, he couldn't help but laugh: "I don't have to audition for this play. I just go." Make a cameo."
"Minning Town" is a big pie, and it is also a mission drama. The actors must have all the actors and actresses. Not only that, because the drama will use dialects, so other actors who cannot speak dialects will naturally be excluded. .
For example, Liang Yi.
"I actually received an invitation to audition at the beginning, but later Director Tao told me that they planned to use dialect, so naturally I didn't have much chance..."
Liang Yi naturally participated in today's dinner, and not only Liang Yi, but also Ren Shuai and Guan Peng came as well.
The spy drama that the two of them filmed together has long been completed, and they are preparing for this year's new year drama. The release date has almost coincided with "Always On".
"This is really a coincidence."
Ren Shuai said with a smile: "Axing, I really don't want to fight with you, but we have decided on the schedule early. Who knew that Director Xie would decide the schedule in such a hurry???"
“You really can’t blame us for hastily setting the schedule.”
Liu Zhou said with some helplessness: "It's not like you don't know that CCTV's new year's drama is "Happy Today", but the male and female protagonists of this TV series have been removed. There is nothing we can do about it..."
These days, most actresses are taken away for tax evasion, while male actors are more likely to be taken away for prostitution and drug abuse.
But it’s really rare for a TV series to have both male and female protagonists at the same time.
This "Happy Today" originally had a very strong cast, and it was a comedy, so it was perfect to release it during the Chinese New Year.
The result was really embarrassing.
An actress was reported for tax evasion, and then during the live broadcast, the actress said arrogantly that if I had tax evasion, wouldn't the tax bureau know about it?
As a result, the live broadcast room was blocked, and the tax bureau issued a document. It turned out that the actress had evaded taxes several times before.
In addition, the actor was directly named by the police for his previous talk about prostitution.
All right.
Do you think this is a coincidence? ?
In the past, several male artists who engaged in prostitution simply denied being named by the police, but this time this actor continued to do so.
"I don't even want to mention either of their names."
Liu Zhou was a little angry.
Lin Xing was a little puzzled because he didn't know why Liu Zhou seemed to be more angry? ?
Wei Fei was a little speechless: "Do you still dare to be a good person in the future? Will you still introduce me?"
"What's going on???"
Ren Shuai asked with some confusion.
Wei Fei said angrily: "Brother Zhou thinks that Xia Mei and Jia Hai have good acting skills. It just so happened that the director of "Happy Today" is Lao Cao, so he introduced them to audition..."
"Fuck..."
After hearing Wei Fei's words, Guan Peng cursed.
No wonder Liu Zhou is so angry.
There is a rumor that Lao Cao, the director of "Happy Today", might have the intention to chop Liu Zhou to death with a knife.
Tell me, if you introduced one person, it would be a big deal, but the result would be great. Both of the two people you introduced would be a big hit.
Who can bear this? ? ?
"I don't have the shame to call Lao Cao right now. If there was only one actor in the drama "Today's Happiness", then he would just change his face. But there is something wrong with both the male and female protagonists, so changing his face is impossible. We can only reshoot..."
Liu Zhou became a little angry when he said this.
The key point is that he thought Xia Mei and Jia Hai were pretty good people at the beginning. He never imagined that one of these two people would dare to evade taxes. In such a public opinion environment, the other would dare to visit prostitutes? ?
"Okay, let's not talk about these two bastards anymore."
Liu Zhou said to Lin Xing: "This time, the industry is quite optimistic about "Minning Town", and most of the male actors are not few who can speak the northwest dialect, so keep working hard."
Lin Xing smiled and said: "I'll try my best. I don't dare to say that I will definitely be selected. Just like I was eliminated in "Always Offline"."
“Can this be the same??”
Liu Zhou shook his head and said: "After all, "Never Offline" was already planned, but this time "Minning Town" was not."
Wei Fei said: "Yes, and Director Tao has long said that everything depends on the actor's acting skills, or whether the actor fits the role. I read the script, Ah Xing, and you are the perfect choice, Cheng Hao."
Although Ren Shuai and Guan Peng did not read the script, they thought Lin Xing was quite suitable for the role announced through the official announcement.
What's more important is that Lin Xing can play both a young man and a middle-aged man.
Liang Yi had also read the script, and he said directly: "Brother Xing, Sister Fei is right. When I read the script, I was thinking that I could play this role, but Brother Xing, you are more suitable."
Lin Xing looked at everyone and was speechless: "I told you all to stop wearing high hats on me. I'm already stressed out."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, have a drink first, and hope that both of our dramas will be a big hit this year."
Guan Peng picked up the wine glass with a smile and said: "This TV series is my first male lead. Whether I can fly or not depends on this time."
"Yeah, whether I can get rid of the rating poison hat depends on this time."
Ren Shuai was also a little worried and said: "Since "Death Knell", I have only accepted this TV series. As you know, many scripts are either not suitable for me, or they are bad scripts and they just want to overdraw me. It’s just traffic, and this book of "Instigating Rebellion" is really good, and it is a comedy-type spy war, so I still like it..."
Both Ren Shuai and Guan Peng are taking on male leads for the first time in so many years, and it's such an important drama.
This time, the drama "Instigation of Rebellion" is broadcast exclusively on Tan Provincial Satellite TV. It is obvious that Tan Provincial Satellite TV attaches great importance to this drama, otherwise it would not be broadcast exclusively.
The show has been watched on a small scale so far, and everyone thinks the effect is pretty good.
However, the results in the industry may sometimes serve as a reference, which is not necessarily reliable.
The real decisive factor is to see how it goes when it starts airing.
It's a mule or a horse. After you take it out for a walk, you have to let the audience see how it works.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "Brother Guan, Lao Liang, I think this drama between you two will be a hit, and it may even be more successful than my drama."
"Axing, just now you said you wouldn't let us wear a hat on you, why are you starting to poison us again now??"
Guan Peng said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Don't say whether it's a hit or not, as long as the ratings can keep it from being a hit, I'll be satisfied."
"Don't worry, Tan Province TV is not a fool? If your show is not good, he will never take over it anyway, and it will be an exclusive buyout..."
Lin Xing looked at Guan Peng and said: "The themes and styles of our two dramas are completely different, so I think the audience must be different, and maybe the two dramas can even expand the spy war genre..."
The current spy war genre is actually big enough, but Lin Xing believes that with the launch of the two spy war dramas "Always On" and "Instigation of Rebellion", this genre will definitely be able to expand.
Many times in the workplace, the subject matter will depend on which direction the wind blows.
In the past, when the spy war theme was not available, the capital would not be prepared to shoot spy war dramas.
But later, with the rise of the spy drama genre, and the popularity of another "For Whom the Bell Tolls" movie, it can be said that more and more capital began to enter the game.
Although Ren Yi's "Darkness Before Dawn" was a little bit of a hit, it doesn't matter.
Most people don't think that they will fall into the street. On the contrary, they think that they will not follow the footsteps of "The Dark Before Dawn."
Why else are there so many spy dramas popping up like bamboo shoots? ?
What's more important is that the industry feels that even Xie Qiang wants to make a spy drama. Doesn't this prove that the spring of spy dramas is still there? ?
Of course, compared to the fame of Xie Qiang, the director of "Never Stop", Wang Ning, the director of "Instigation of Rebellion", is actually not very famous, and even the screenwriter of "Instigation of Rebellion" is a little transparent in the industry.
Otherwise, this crew would not have invited Guan Peng and Ren Shuai. It is true that the other bigger names in their lineup are not interested at all.
But with such a production team and lineup, Tan Province Satellite TV exclusively won the show after watching the show.
What does this mean? ?
