The Road to Rebirth of the Movie King

Zhang Jiuyi moved to L City two years ago. He is a single-parent family. It is said that his father took Xiao San away when he was a sophomore in high school, so he changed his name to follow his mother's. The house after moving is next to the school. During the summer vacation, Zhang Jiuyi didn't live in the dormitory, and when Ye Changshi went to his house, Zhang's mother happened to be at home.

Zhang's mother is called Zhang Yu, and her behavior in the circle is as ordinary as her name. She looks gentle and is about 40 years old. Hearing Ye Changshi's request, she didn't ask any school company or whether she came from a major. After looking at his appearance and figure, he directly agreed to help him find a small role in Director Xu's TV series that will start filming recently. Of course, it can only be determined by Ye Changshi himself. After all, she is just a screenwriter, it's nothing Very good network, can help this, just happened to have partnered with Director Xu before.

Ye Changshi is very grateful to her. After all, there are not many people in the entertainment industry who are willing to support the younger generation, especially actors and singers. Willing to cultivate a competitor for myself!

Ye Changshi discussed some details about the show with her, and then asked some other questions. Mrs. Zhang was the first insider he met. It is a good choice to ask Mrs. Zhang for the information in the circle.

At night, the lights on the street flicker and the voices of people are noisy, but the community is peaceful, only the cicadas on the big trees keep chirping.

Ye Changshi used Zhang Jiuyi's computer to check the general historical process of the Hua country where he was located, lest he didn't know some common sense things, and then there was a lot of information about the entertainment industry, and he learned about famous directors and stars. Again, including some gossip scandals, although many of them are speculative, but since there is such a gossip, there is always some basis.After reading the entertainment news, Ye Changshi watched some more famous movies in this time and space, and finally fell asleep when he couldn't hold on anymore.

The trial play introduced by Zhang Yu is the day after tomorrow, and there is no script, because this play is adapted from a very popular martial arts novel called "Xia You Ji", and the content of the trial play is also in the fragments of the novel It can be said that this audition is a bit difficult without reading the original work twice.

Ye Changshi stayed at Zhang Jiuyi's house for a day. In order not to miss the audition, he rushed back to City H the next afternoon. Due to the long length of the original novel, the preparation time was only a short day and a half. After reading it, I learned about the general plot process, and then focused on thinking about the part where the character he was going to audition appeared.

I have to say that Zhang's mother is still very good. Although she is a character similar to the male No. [-] and has few roles, this drama is very long and can be roughly divided into five units. Ye Changshi estimated that he might be able to appear on the stage There are more than ten episodes, and the characters are good, and they can attract fans.

That's right, before the audition came, he already regarded the role as his own, that's how confident he was!

The short preparation time quickly passed. Ye Changshi did not dare to return to the original rental house when he arrived in City H, but stayed in a hotel next to the film and television base. The next day was almost time and he put on the newly bought clothes yesterday. Arrived at the small theater where Director Xu auditioned.

When they arrived at the backstage lounge, there were already many people waiting there. At a glance, they were all very young. Several people had already changed into wide-sleeved costumes and wigs, followed by two assistants, handing water to wipe It's sweaty, it looks like it's a big show, but it's a pity that it's born in a mediocre way.

Ye Changshi shook his head in his heart, young people nowadays!

Feeling several gazes resting on his body, he smiled at the people who were looking at him, and those people couldn't keep staring at him, so he whispered something to the people next to him and prepared to go.

Ye Changshi didn't know the actors here, and the original owner didn't pay attention to celebrities, so he followed the staff to change into simple costumes and put on makeup, then he ignored everyone and sat down on a chair I took out my phone and turned it on, and went through the relevant plot again while it was still early.

"Xiayouji" is a martial arts novel, and now pure martial arts novels are not very attractive, so the author added a popular fairy tale background, and the protagonist's story is no longer evolved from an unknown unknown to arrogant The hero of the pack is a story of a highly cultivated Taoist who entered the mortal world, experienced the eight sufferings and eight difficulties in the world, and finally saw through the world of mortals and became a fairy.

The novel can be divided into five volumes in total. The protagonist Qingzhen gradually realizes the Tao through the five major events, and falls in love with the heroine in the process. However, the heroine is a mortal without a celestial relationship, so she is doomed This is a sadomasochistic relationship, and the ending is that the protagonist returns to Xianshan indifferently after the death of the heroine.

The character Ye Changshi wants to try is called Lu Shengyuan, who appears in the first and second volumes, is the younger brother of the leader of the Demon Cult, unruly by nature, romantic, inspiring to live among thousands of flowers, not even a single leaf touches his body, and he will be bloody afterward It fell on the heroine, but if you want to say how much Lu Shengyuan likes the heroine, after carefully thinking about this role, Ye Changshi thinks it may not be true, but it is a kind of obsession that he can't get that makes him unable to let go. Compared with the heroine, Lu Shengyuan still has more feelings for his brother, the leader of the Demon Cult.

Lu Chenyun, the leader of the Demon Cult, is a brother-in-law. He is not cruel, and he even restrained the congregants from killing innocent people indiscriminately. Received an invitation from the Wulin League to eradicate the Demon Sect together.

The elders of the Demon Cult have long been displeased with the cowardly leader, and plotted to seize the throne for a long time. They not only poisoned the leader, but also sent someone to burn and kill Lu Shengyuan, who was a guest in the martial arts alliance and concealed his identity. When Lu Chenyun received the news, he had already been poisoned Shen Zhong, he should have found a way to detoxify as soon as possible, but he chose to suppress the poison and rushed to the Wulin League to save his brother, and then saw a charred corpse.

The protagonist Qingxin has no accurate distinction between good and evil, and is very sympathetic to Lu Chenyun's experience, so he took back Lu Shengyuan's soul and kept it in the hairpin. The killing spree against several elders coincided with the Righteous Path attacking and strangling the members of the Demon Cult. In the end, only Lu Chenyun survived among the senior leaders of the Demon Cult.

Lu Chenyun took back the protagonist's jade hairpin carrying the poison. At this time, Lu Shengyuan, who had become a weapon spirit, had no memory of his life. Shen Yun's chest, and Lu Chenyun also became poisoned at the right time, and finally died in Lu Shengyuan's arms.

Everything is seen by Qingzhen, but this is just one of his stories of mortal experience. The protagonist Qingzhen also has an epiphany because of this. There is no such thing as a big evil person in the world.

Because it is a tragic character, Ye Changshi is sure that Lu Shengyuan will be loved by many kind-hearted fans, and the facts have proved that the two brothers of the Lu family in "Xiayouji" are indeed very popular characters. Killing brothers earned the tears of many sentimental readers.

But these are not the key points. In Ye Changshi's eyes, these two characters obviously have a certain tendency to sell corruption, but he knows that there are so many fans of "Shuanglu CP" on the Internet, and he has to admit it after reading the original book. , the last scene where the elder brother died in the arms of the younger brother was written by the author really a bit... so ambiguous!

The drama "Xiayouji" has been prepared for a long time from the purchase of the script to the preparation of the crew. The total budget is [-] million. It is considered a big production among today's TV dramas. Contains a lot of great principles, not blindly practicing fighting and talking about love.

After the funding was guaranteed, Director Xu decided to work hard from the casting to the post-production team, trying to make this drama a classic. Originally, everything was ready and the actors and roles were selected. At this time, Director Xu Suddenly received a joining reply from a certain big name, and a series of other questions arose.

When Ye Changshi learned from Zhang Yu that the big name was Ji Ling, whom he had robbed of money, he refused in his heart. Although he really wanted to hook up someone to sleep with him, he still owed him money after all. What's more, my current situation is really bad, the handsome guy must look down on him now.

It is said that this great god is going to play Lu Chenyun, the leader of the Demon Cult who has a very high value of force but a comfortable personality, and is finally remembered by his subordinates. That is to say, if Ye Changshi is chosen, then he and Jiling will have a lot of love. He couldn't avoid the rivalry scene, but he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. In the end, he could only hope for a higher salary. After he paid off the usury loan, he would still have money to make up for the stolen card!

Ye Changshi checked the history of Jiling's fame yesterday. He started from a very high level. He debuted in the film industry as the second male role in a movie directed by a famous director. With his current status, it is impossible for him to act in a TV series, and he is still a small supporting role. Even if the prospect of that drama is very good, Ye Changshi is quite puzzled about this point.

Not only Ye Changshi was puzzled, but Xu Liangyou was also surprised. His character is rigorous and a little fuzzy, especially when it comes to casting actors. It is determined that the TV series he directed have always had high ratings.

When agreeing to the investor to take over the script, Xu Liangyou had a suitable candidate for the leader of the Demon Cult, that is, Ji Ling. Of course, he knew that this great god was unlikely to play a small role, and the producer gave this supporting role His budget was not enough to pay for Ji Ling's film salary, so he just sent an invitation letter to Ji Ling's agent symbolically, to comfort himself that he had put in effort.

After the news sank into the sea, no matter how frustrated Director Xu was, he could only find other actors who were barely competent, but he didn't expect that when the candidates were all arranged and the contract was short of signing, Ji Ling's agent suddenly replied and decided to participate in the performance, and even He also promised to package the theme song, Xu Liangyou was naturally very happy, that is, the TV debut of the great god, it is definitely a good gimmick!

However, there is a problem, the money is only so little, so many actors, half of the money goes into the actor's pocket after one play, and the salary is still a problem that cannot be solved, so Director Xu can only put down a few selected first- and second-tier artists , instead of using low-paid newcomers, there have been auditions held in a hurry these days.

In the small theater, although the air conditioner is on, it is still a bit stuffy, and mosquitoes are "buzzing" around the ears from nowhere, which makes people feel upset.

Director Xu and the screenwriter's assistant director watched a group of newcomers audition all morning, and they were quite tired at the moment. The newcomers were inexperienced, couldn't handle the details in place, some couldn't let go, and some were too exaggerated. The effect is even like a prodigal son. It is rare that there are two actors who have acted either because their acting skills are too ordinary or their appearance is too ordinary. The gorgeous rhetoric described how outstanding his appearance and temperament are, so it is natural that his appearance is not acceptable.

Although Lu Shengyuan is a supporting role, there are many fans of the original novel. Any director who wants to make a novel into a TV series does not want the original work to be scolded after the work is released. Therefore, director Xu is strict with the casting of several characters with distinctive personalities in the book. Many, it is difficult for these newcomers to achieve the effect he had in mind. Looking at Director Xu, he is secretly ready to go to recruit funds to hire actors.

Finally, after the last one on the list finished the audition, Director Xu stood up and wanted to go back and call the chief producer, but was stopped by his assistant Su Guihua who stood aside, saying: "Mr. Xu, there is another one! "

Xu Liangyou flipped through the list again, and said impatiently, "Why is there another one? Haven't you finished all the tests?"

Seeing him sullen, Su Guihua quickly explained: "There is another one introduced by screenwriter Zhang the day before yesterday, and she said she looks pretty good."

Although the author and screenwriter of the original book were also a little depressed and irritable, they still persuaded: "Let's look at it again. Since it was introduced by screenwriter Zhang, there should be merits!"

Xu Liangyou had no choice but to sit down again, scratching the mosquito-bitten bag impatiently, comforting himself in his heart: just wait, maybe this time it will be all right?
