Entertainment: Start as an idol trainee

I only went back for one day during the Qingming Festival, and came back after finishing my business.

In the morning, I went to a cemetery in Dizhen to sweep the tomb and burn incense for Cao Gong's mother.

At noon, I took a helicopter back to my hometown in Chaoshan, and then went to sweep the tomb and worship the ancestors with the people in my hometown. I came back to the ancestral hall in the afternoon to eat, and then flew to Shanghai from Chaoshan Jieyang Airport in the evening.

There is also an airport in Chaoshan. I didn't take a plane to Jieyang before. One reason was to send my uncle and others to Dizhen, so I didn't come to Jieyang to take a plane.

But this time it was different. They didn't take a helicopter to go up.

Cao Gong was also in a hurry, so he didn't accompany them to Dizhen, but flew from Chaoshan.

Today, the helicopter drove back, and it was also a chartered helicopter with a pilot.

After sending them there, the helicopter flew away.

The flight was at 7:45 pm, and it would arrive in Shanghai at around 9:45.

After arriving in Hangzhou, the car was already waiting in the parking lot of Hangzhou. After he got in the car, he went to Hengdian with Bai Lu, which took about an hour.

Back at home in Hengdian, Cao Gong saw that the villa was brightly lit, and they were still awake

After a night of rest, he continued to work on the crew the next day.

"Hey, you really came back to the crew today?" As soon as she arrived at the crew, Li Wei saw Cao Gong.

She knew that Cao Gong went back to his hometown yesterday to worship his ancestors and sweep the graves.

But she thought Cao Gong would leave the crew for two or three days, but she didn't expect him to come back just now, just one day?

It was true that he left the crew that afternoon, but Cao Gong also left the crew after finishing his part.

In other words, Cao Gong only took one day off.

"Yes, it's only one day." Cao Gong stretched and said, "But it's almost time. We'll go to Xiangyang Film and Television City to shoot in a few days."

"Are you leading the team, or is Director Sun leading the team?" Li 劉 asked.

"Yes, most of the scenes there are mine, so I'm the one leading the team."

"Oh, I'm tired. In order to get more scenes for your role, I asked Lao Wang, and Director Sun used this to negotiate with me. It's okay to give your Lin Wan'er more scenes and not let your role be a tool man, but in this case, I need to be one of the directors and lead a team with him to shoot."

"I'm stupid, too. I helped you get the scenes, but ended up getting myself involved."

When Cao Gong thought of this, he couldn't help but nag at Li 劉 beside him.

"Besides, isn't it better to have fewer scenes? I don't have to work so hard. I wish I could have just one scene in each episode."

As he spoke, he still held up his face and let the stylist put on a wig for him.

Listening to his nagging, the people who were also doing their makeup next to him smiled.

"Isn't it because of your outstanding directing ability that Director Sun wants to do it with you?Your partner."

"I'm just an excuse. Director Sun really wants to partner with you." Li Qi spoke with high EQ.

"Oh, forget it. I just want to be lazy now, and then accompany my wife to wait for the birth of the baby."

This is what Cao Gong is pursuing now, but he also knows that it is unlikely.

Because he still has to fill the gap next time, after all, he still has two works waiting.

"What about you next year? This year, you are thinking about being lazy and accompanying your wife to wait for the birth of the baby. Then next year, your daughter will be able to walk and talk, so won't you be even more? "Li Xi's joke made Cao Gong shake his head helplessly.

He really wanted to stay at home with his children next year, but it was unlikely.

The main reason was that he had to shoot two dramas now.

"Fog Mountain Five Elements" was directed and produced so well that all the fans and audiences were waiting for the second part to come out.

The script has been written, so it must be filmed.

The script for the third part has not been polished yet, but Cao Gong told Ling Hun and the others not to rush.

But what is certain is that the second part will definitely start shooting next year.

If nothing unexpected happens, the second half of next year will be the shooting. "Fog Mountain Five Elements 2", and then it will be produced for a year in 2025, and will be released in 2026, which is exactly the tenth year since Cao Gong debuted.

There is another drama that must be filmed next year, that is "Slaying the Gods", which he just got the film and television adaptation rights.

The first half of the script has been adapted, and the author said that it will be completed in a few months.

Now Cao Gong is preparing for this TV series in addition to filming this drama.

Writing the script, doing the costume design of the script, and other aspects.

Including casting, these must also be carefully selected.

Originally, he planned to direct After "Perfect World", he no longer directed a TV series independently.

But after reading the novel "Slaying Gods", Cao Gong felt that he had to direct it himself.

For no other reason than a classic line in it: Gods are forbidden to travel in Daxia.

Just for this line, Cao Gong had to direct this drama himself.

The first version of the script he wrote is still a bit long. He wants to see if he can make some changes after the novel is finished, and try not to shoot too long.

And this drama also needs to find many foreigners to act, mainly because there are too many foreign gods in it. Ming's role, by then we will definitely have to find a foreigner to play it.

Not only that, there is also a plot in the novel about going to the island country, and how to shoot it at that time is also a problem. It is definitely impossible to shoot in the island country, so just find a suitable place in China to shoot.

If it really doesn't work, you can only spend money to build a wet one, that's all.

Next year, these two plays are works that Cao Gong must take seriously.

At the same time, these two works are also works that Cao Gong must direct, and preparations have already begun.

There won't be much work next year, just these two plays, the rest of the time is spent with his wife and children.

Especially the casting of "Slaying God", which must be rigorous.

Everything else is fine, but the problem is that it is not easy to find an actor for the role of Baili Pangpang.

There are fat actors in the circle, but not many.

What Cao Gong thinks of is Yao Yiqi, who has worked with him and his beauties.

Yao Yiqi may not be known to many viewers, but he looks familiar.

He worked with Cao Gong in "The Son-in-Law", in which he played Ning Que's friend Feng Yuan. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He also made a cameo appearance in "You Are My Glory".

Not only that, he has worked with Zhao Liying in "Legend of Fei" and "Traveling with the Phoenix".

In "Traveling with the Phoenix", he plays the eldest son of the mortal Gu Chengzhu, and the fat young master who makes trouble for Xingyun in the mortal world.

He also worked with Meng Ziyi and Wang Chuyu in "Daily Life of the Lady".

He is one of the more common fat actors in the current entertainment industry.

It's just a pity that he was born in 1989 and is a bit old.

In "Slaying the Gods", Baili Pangpang is very young, even less than 20 years old.

Cao Gong needs to wait and see. If he really can't find a fat actor under 25 years old, then he may really have to find Yao Yiqi, because they have worked together three times.

If possible, Cao Gong has also thought about whether to shoot "The Immortal Cultivation Biography of a Mortal"?

This is also because this drama has been confirmed to start filming in Hengdian in July.

Although he did not participate in the performance, this is a big IP. Cao Gong does not know whether it will be modified or not, but he has already secured the role of the important female lead in it.

Director Yang Yang, starring Yang Yang, to be honest, it is really hard to say.

Director Yang Yang's works are good. She directed and produced the fantasy novel "Ever Night" very well, and "Dream of Hualu" was also filmed very well.

But it is really hard to say whether Yang Yang will star in it.

Originally, Jin Chen was going to play Nangong Wan, but Cao Gong intervened immediately after hearing this. ,[]

The main reason is that Jin Chen's face was too much, and now the whole face looks too plastic.

Especially the nose, I am afraid she can't breathe.

Originally, Jin Chen was going to play the role of Ye Ling'er in "Celebrating Yu Nian 2", but Cao Gong disagreed because Jin Chen was too much, and the sense of technology was too obvious, and playing this role would only mess it up.

Although it was just a supporting role, it was too much.

In the end, the director and producer did not use her for Cao Gong's sake.

Even if he would be scolded, Cao Gong would not care.

Because he believed that if Jin Chen was so obsessed with do-face, she would definitely have the sequelae of excessive plastic surgery in a few years. At that time, it would be useless to scold Cao Gong for blocking her.Anyone who knows Jin Chen will understand his intentions.

The same is true for "The Immortal Cultivation of a Mortal", he likes both the novel and the animation.

Asking Yang Yang to play the role is a time bomb in itself, and I don't know if he can play it well.

Although Yang Yang is right and his acting skills are average, at least he doesn't make up faces and looks pleasing to the eye; but Jin Chen... that's really hard to describe.

As for the female lead, Cao Gong took this resource and recommended Zhang Jingyi to play it.

Zhang Jingyi's temperament is quite suitable.

Although Wang Chuyu is also suitable, Cao Gong did not recommend her to play this play.

I really don't know how the second season of this TV series will be, I have to watch the first season first.

...

"It's quite early." After Chen Daoming came to the crew, he was surprised to see Cao Gong back.

"Well, it's getting late, so we can start working." Cao Gong stood up and said that it was time to start working.

Old actors also came to the crew one after another, and their scenes would start at a certain time.

Cao Gong's scenes started at 8 o'clock, so he came to the crew at around 7 o'clock.

Today's work began. Cao Gong came to the scene, took the script and reviewed the lines with his co-stars, and discussed how to act next.
