showbiz male god

The crew who are interested in finding Chen Mo to film a movie all know that there are only two time slots in a year when Chen Mo can take on the show, one is summer vacation and the other is winter vacation.

So one month before the winter vacation, the film crews who wanted to invite Chen Mo to be the leading actor handed over the script to Yang Qindong in various ways.

After the initial screening, Yang Qindong left two movie scripts and four TV drama scripts for Chen Mo to choose from.

Two of the screenplays are urban dramas.One is an inspirational romantic drama called "Rookie Also Has Spring".It tells the story of a freshman who just graduated from university, works, buys a house, and falls in love after entering the society. The subject matter is not new, but the plot and line design definitely cater to the taste of the audience. It is humorous and humorous with a touch of comedy Little exaggeration, as long as the director and actors are not too bad, it is estimated that it will be a small hit after it is released.

The other one is "Peak Showdown", an urban gunfight martial arts film, about a fledgling Interpol who is ordered to track down an international arms smuggler.But in the process of investigating the case, he broke through the international thief Sky stealing paintings in the arms smuggler's castle.The two fought in the castle, and accidentally triggered the alarm and fled in embarrassment.After safety, it is discovered that there is a chip hidden in the oil painting stolen by Sky. This chip is the data of the latest weapons researched by the arms smugglers.

Such an important thing was stolen, of course the arms smugglers sent all kinds of people to hunt down the rookies of Interpol and the international thieves.However, the international thief was only hired to steal paintings, but was accidentally involved in a conspiracy to fight for power and profit. Not only was he hunted down, but he was also wanted by the Interpol.Always in danger.In the end, the international thieves had no choice but to reach an agreement with the Interpol to jointly deal with the killers sent by the arms smugglers and the enemies hidden in the Interpol.The two developed a friendship of sympathy and sympathy during the cooperation. After the case was solved, the Interpol wanted to arrest the international gangster due to their duties, but they deliberately showed their flaws in the operation and were run away by the international gangster.

Chen Mo glanced at the final plot and lines of the script, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Series?"

Yang Qindong nodded, and added: "I heard that the crew and investors intend to invite Zhao Sen or Chen Wei'an to play the role of the international thief. These two are domestic first-line actors, especially Zhao Sen who won last year's award. Golden Crow Award for Best Actor, strength and box office appeal are very stable. Other roles also intend to invite domestic second-tier actors or first-tier actors to come to guest roles... It can be said that the crew is still very sincere."

Of course, what is more sincere is that the film crew paid Chen Mo 1000 million.This is definitely a sky-high price for a person who has only made two films in his three-year debut.

Of course, Chen Mo himself is worth the price.Leaving aside other things for the time being, just talking about Chen Mo's national popularity and popularity, as well as his ability to automatically and consciously grab the headlines no matter what he does, will blow up most of the top superstars in the country.Any production team invites Chen Mo to cooperate, first of all, it can save a lot of trouble in the promotion.

In this era of capital control where only one online drama is a big hit, the heroine's worth can soar to 2000 million. Chen Mo debuted for three years and dominated the entertainment headlines all the year round. His own salary has only exceeded 1000 million. Seriously, it is nothing Nice to blow.

Having felt the sincerity of the "Peak Rivalry" crew, Chen Mo flipped through the scripts of the other four TV dramas.A youth school drama, a fairy tale drama, a costume idol drama with historical themes, and an urban love drama with fashion themes...

All the plots are similar to the popular dramas of the same theme, and there is really nothing new.

Chen Mo rolled his eyes and didn't want to look at it.Throwing aside the four TV drama scripts, he pointed to the script of "The Peak Rivalry" and said, "I think this one is okay. But I'm not interested in the role of Interpol. I want to play the thief Sky."

In the setting of "Peak Rivalry", although the thief Sky is not the number one male, the screenwriter is also very careful in character image design and line design.In particular, it highlights Sky's natural and unrestrained character, which is different from the male lead, who is both righteous and evil, and his straightforward and beautiful skills. Whether it is literary or martial arts, the lines and bridges are very suitable for Chen Mo's taste.There is a desire to try.

As for the No. [-] male Interpol that the crew proposed to be tailor-made for him, Chen Mo didn't feel much.

For general managers or brokerage companies, of course they hope that their artists can take on the role of leading male and female.Firstly, the film salary is generous enough, and secondly, the heroine and heroine are responsible for the box office. If the response is good after the film is released, it will be easier to raise the value.Needless to say, signing the endorsement run notice.

But Chen Mo is different from ordinary entertainers. Although he keeps saying that he is an actor as a career, he puts more energy on his studies after his debut for more than three years.It seems that he doesn't care much about his acting career plan.It gives people the feeling that the nature of playing tickets is greater.

In addition, when the contract was signed, it was clearly stipulated that the company would focus on the artist's wishes, so Yang Qindong basically didn't say anything about Chen Mo's selection of scripts.

But this time the situation is different.

Yang Qindong frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The director of "Spike Rivalry", Liang Zheng, has been filming for so many years and is best at movies about gunfights and martial arts. And he is very good at flattering people. He is now a top star in the circle, Liu Zhenhui, He Qingqiao, and Wang Baolu are basically selected by him. If you play the male lead..."

Before Yang Qindong finished speaking, Chen Mo already understood.He smiled, threw the script to Yang Qindong, and said: "But the role of the thief Sky is indeed better than the leading actor. I know what Dong Ge means, but think about it from another angle. If I play the leading actor, Zhao Sen or It was Chen Wei'an who came to play Sky. Their acting skills are worse than mine, and they have more experience than me. My character design is not as good as theirs. How can I shoot that scene? If the acting is not good, then it's me Is the name of the male lead a match for them?"

Yang Qindong was startled when he heard this.

Chen Mo knocked on the coffee table of the script with his index finger, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are like this, you can communicate with their crew. Just say that I am not interested in the role of the criminal police... Anyway, the script says that it is the male lead of the criminal police, but in fact it is almost double. The male protagonist. I will play the robber, and let them change the role of the criminal policeman. It doesn’t matter if they add more drama and more connotations. If the character is more mature, let Zhao Sen or Chen Wei’an play the criminal policeman. "

Yang Qindong knew that Chen Mo had always been stubborn, and if it was something he had made up his mind, it would be difficult for others to persuade him.What's more, Chen Mo's words are also reasonable. Let Chen Mo play the unruly, righteous and evil young thief, and let Zhao Sen or Chen Wei'an, an old drama player, play the Interpol with a story in his heart. better.

Yang Qindong blinked his eyes, and sure enough he got up and called Liang Zheng, the director of "Spike Rivalry". He exchanged polite greetings at first, showing that Chen Mo was very interested in the script.Then the topic changed and he asked to change the script.

For directors and screenwriters, it is taboo for actors to dictate the shooting.No matter how big or small a director is, they don't like their actors thinking too much, and even more hate the bad habit of actors wanting to change the script at every turn.

However, the current situation in the entertainment industry is like this. No matter what level of actors are filming, they all hope that they can have more shots and have more layers of expression.Therefore, it is not uncommon for first-line actors to invite directors and screenwriters to eat and ask for changes in the play, and it is not uncommon for investors to wave money and ask directors, screenwriters to add dramas and roles.

Liang Zheng has been a director for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to such things.But habits are habits, and aversions are aversions.After Liang Zheng and the screenwriter heard Yang Qindong's request to change the script, they still couldn't help but feel repulsed.

Fortunately, we are all adults and are used to this kind of thing.Liang Zheng smiled calmly and said: "It's a good thing to have ideas. This also proves that Chen Mo has read our script carefully. But A Dong, you also know that this script is all linked together. It's easy to change. How about this, let's find a time to get together and sit down to discuss face to face."

At this time, Liang Zheng still wanted to listen to Chen Mo first, and agreed if there were not many changes, and had to decline if there were too many changes.

However, after the two parties met, Director Liang and the screenwriter heard that Chen Mo disliked the character design of the male lead, who was not good enough, and wanted to play the second male lead, Sky, so when they asked the screenwriter to change the role of the male lead to match other actors, they were a little surprised up.

Even the uncle screenwriter couldn't help confirming curiously: "Mr. Chen means that you don't want to play the male lead, you only want to play the second male lead. More brilliant, more suitable for actors?"

Chen Mo nodded, and casually talked about his understanding of the characters, and even his views on how to balance the plot of a two-male lead movie.

The screenwriter who listened nodded repeatedly, and in the end almost wanted to introduce Chen Mo as a confidant.He also has no grievances about Chen Mo's idea of ​​changing the script.

Director Liang Zheng listened silently for a while, and felt that Chen Mo's idea was very useful.At least after Chen Mo's changes, the characters are more contradictory, the plot conflicts are more violent, and they are more suitable for the audience's taste.

This time the party was, of course, a happy ending.

For more than half a month later, director Liang Zheng and the screenwriter have been working on changing the script. During the period, the screenwriter also kept in touch with Chen Mo on the phone from time to time to communicate about the script changes.

After the new script came out, Chen Mo learned that the role of the revised Interpol will be played by last year's Golden Crow Best Actor Zhao Senlai——

This thing is also very dramatic.Originally, when Zhao Sen received the invitation from the crew, he had no interest in playing the role of the international thief Sky.He is almost 40 years old now, and he just won the honor of Best Actor of the Golden Crow Award last year, which proved his acting skills and strength, and it should be the stage of transformation.

So Zhao Sen wanted to take on some challenging roles, and he was no longer interested in roles like the international thief Sky who pretended to be cool and sell people.It's just that due to Director Liang's kindness and kindness, and the remuneration offered by the film studio is really generous, Zhao Sen is too embarrassed to say no.Attitudes have been ambiguous.

The crew also felt Zhao Sen's lack of interest, so when contacting Zhao Sen, they also approached another actor, Chen Wei'an.Chen Wei'an is about the same age as Zhao Sen. Although he is not as talented as Zhao Sen in acting and has never won a best actor award, Chen Wei'an's character is more tenacious and hardworking than Zhao Sen.Moreover, Chen Wei'an turned from a singer to an actor, and has a lot of diehard fans.So as long as the movies made by Chen Wei'an, the box office is still guaranteed.

But Chen Wei'an's schedule was a bit tight.If you want to take this role, you have to shoot two movies together, and you have to take another movie as the main one.In addition, Chen Mo was busy with the final exam at that time, so he didn't have time to finalize the contract with the crew.After procrastinating until the end, Chen Mo proposed to change the characters and change the script. The screenwriter made the changes according to the words, but spent more thought on the characters of the two male protagonists.Afterwards, he went to talk to Zhao Sen and Chen Wei'an with the newly revised script. Unexpectedly, after Zhao Sen saw the new script, he became very interested in the role of Interpol, who is between revenge and ideals, who bears a bloody feud.Immediately call Liang Zheng to confirm the role.

Compared to Chen Wei'an whose schedule is still uncertain, directors and investors are of course more inclined to Zhao Sen who has just won the Golden Crow Best Actor.The two hit it off.At the press conference, actor Zhao Sen, who learned that the idea of ​​the new script came from Chen Mo, fell in love with Chen Mo at first sight.Chen Mo also liked this northern man with a calm and honest personality.The two whispered from time to time, talking about the characters.

Director Liang Zheng is happy with this atmosphere.

However, some people are speculative and some people disagree. The crew is also a small river and lake, and there will be conflicts of interest and different positions.There are many people who are not pleasing to the eye and even say bad things behind the scenes.

It's just that when I wanted to squat, I heard someone speak ill of me while making an appointment with Pao——

This TMD is more embarrassing!
