The bard joins the entertainment industry

In the evening, Liu Dehua called Chen Shuo and said that he would come to the imperial capital on the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

When the time comes, let Chen Shuo follow him to hit the characters.

Chen Shuo naturally agreed.

The next day, Chen Shuo first went to Zhouyi's place to hold a new year's trade union and talk about this year's task arrangements.

In fact, the most important thing is the upcoming filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The drama is scheduled to start filming at Hengdian Film and Television City on February 20, the first day of the second lunar month.

Now, the production team has been making preparations one after another. Next, Yang Junyi and others will also rush to Hengdian.

After the meeting in the morning, Chen Shuo rushed to Jingwen Records and arrived at He Zhengyang's office.

Seeing his arrival, He Zhengyang asked him to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and said: "One million albums, 50,000 records, 350,000 CDs, and 600,000 tapes have been burned.

This is the first half month of preparation. The factory has not stopped work, but has only slowed down.

According to estimates from the marketing department, your album will at least double the sales of your last one. "

Chen Shuo's second album is called "Snow Moon Style", a slightly poetic name.

But it does echo the songs on his album.

Most of the ten songs are of the same style, slightly sad ancient love songs.

Each song has a music video, but they are basically ready-made.

Scenery and plots cut out from "House of Flying Daggers" and "Water Moon Cave".

Chen Shuo nodded when he heard this and said, "When will the release start?"

"On the 16th day of the first lunar month, "Shuiyue Cave Sky" is also broadcast on the 16th night, so it coincides with each other."

"How do I need to cooperate with the publicity?"

"I have discussed with Miss Shan that starting from the 16th, you will hold two-day book signings in Imperial City and Jinkou.

Then he went to Guangdong Province and held four days of autograph signings in Yangcheng, Xiangjiang, Pengcheng, Rongcheng and other places.

Finally, we went to Shanghai, Lin'an, Suzhou and other places to promote it.

Fortunately, after visiting these places, you can go filming with peace of mind.

I'll call you again when there are important events. "

Chen Shuo calculated: "Four days in the imperial capital, four days in Guangdong province, and three days in the magic capital. That's 11 days. Plus the time on the road, it will take four or five days to promote directly. Half a month?"

"Actually, this is quite rare. In places like Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangcheng, Xingcheng, Shancheng, etc., you also have a lot of fans.

It's just that you are the protagonist of this drama now, so I can't wait for you too long.

Otherwise, it would take a month to promote it. "

In fact, both Zhouyi and Jingwen can be said to be very tolerant of Chen Shuo.

Basically, he was not asked to perform commercials non-stop.

The time period before and after New Year's Eve was a good time to earn money by performing in commercials, but after finishing his work before New Year's Eve, he wanted to go home for the New Year.

After the New Year, I came back to worship the New Year for three days, and played with Chen Rui and Shu Chang for three days.

He had squandered this great opportunity to make money.

But Chen Shuo didn't want to run any further, and the two companies didn't press him. It was really rare.

It's not that Chen Shuo doesn't want money, he is still waiting for money to buy a house and decorate it.

It's just that he really doesn't want to be so busy that he doesn't have any free time during the period before and after the New Year.

After hearing He Zhengyang's words, Chen Shuo didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Okay!"

After another conversation, when he saw that nothing happened, he got up and left.

While you still have some free time in these two days, try to be lazy.

He followed Liu Yifei and others in the afternoon and played until evening. Early the next morning, he contacted Liu Dehua and then met him.

After getting in the car, Chen Shuo hugged Liu Dehua and said, "Brother Hua, have a great New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Liu Dehua smiled and patted his back.

His mood was a little low, and Chen Shuo knew that this was because Mei Yanfang was now exhausted.

Back in Xiangjiang, after she survived the Chinese New Year, her condition deteriorated sharply, and now she has been sent to the intensive care unit of the hospital whether she wants it or not.

I don't know how long it can last.

Chen Shuo didn't say anything to comfort him. It was really hard to say anything in this situation.

Liu Dehua pointed to the person next to him and introduced: "Here, let me introduce you. This is an artist from my company and my brother, Lin Jiadong.

Jiadong, this is Chen Shuo. Even though he is young, he is very good at acting. "

"Hello, Brother Jiadong, Brother Hua is touting you." Chen Shuo extended his hand to Lin Jiadong and greeted him.

"Hello, Chen Shuo." Lin Jiadong shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Brother Hua doesn't praise people casually, and he told me that you are really good at acting."

The two chatted for a while, and then Liu Dehua talked about the details of the drama.

"This drama is a work that director Feng Xiaogang has been polishing for two years, adapted from "A World Without Thieves".

It tells the story of two thieves, a man and a woman, who protect a stupid man who believes there are no thieves in the world from being missed by other thieves.

Director Feng approached me and hoped that I would play the role of "The Thief" Wang Bo.

I came to you because I thought you and Jiadong would play the role of members of the villain theft gang in the play.

The role is definitely not heavy, but it is also very distinctive.

…”

In Liu Dehua's narration, Chen Shuo also had a general understanding of the drama.

The whole story tells the story of the thief Wang Bo and the thief Wang Li, who embarked on the road to redemption because of a migrant worker named Sha Gen.

Among them, the villain is a professional pickpocket gang, headed by Hu Li, known as Uncle Li, who also has the second child, fourth eye, female thief Xiaoye and others.

The role that Liu Dehua wants Chen Shuo to play is the fourth eye in the band of thieves, and the role that Lin Jiadong wants to try is the second child in the band of thieves.

While talking, the car arrived at Huayi. After entering, someone welcomed the three of them into a conference room.

Feng Xiaogang saw it, stood up and said with a smile: "Dehua is here, come on, please come on!"

Liu Dehua greeted with a smile on his face: "Director Feng, Teacher Ge... I'm sorry, I'm late."

Chen Shuo and Lin Jiadong followed Liu Dehua and saluted.

Looking at the people present, there are director Feng Xiaogang, actors Ge You, Li Bingbing and others, whom Chen Shuo knows.

The others were either in suits or casually dressed, and they all looked familiar. They should be the investment representatives of the show and the main creative staff of the show.

Feng Xiaogang joked: "Hey, in our territory, if you can come earlier than us, how shameful will it be for us? We just came here, and you came here."

After some greetings, Liu Dehua also briefly introduced Chen Shuo and Chen Shuo.

"This is Lin Jiadong, an artist from our company."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiadong bowed and said: "Director Feng, hello everyone, I am Lin Jiadong!"

He pointed at Chen Shuo and said: "This is my new little brother, Chen Shuo. He starred with me in "House of Flying Daggers" directed by Zhang Yimou."

Chen Shuo also bowed and said hello.

"So it's you?" Feng Xiaogang looked at Chen Shuo and smiled.

Chen Shuo said modestly: "I didn't expect Director Feng to have heard of me. I'm really honored."

"There are old reports on the Internet that director Yimou has taken a fancy to two newcomers, saying that they not only have good acting skills, but also have good characters.

I've only heard rumors and haven't seen much of it, but today I saw it. "

"I hope I didn't disappoint Director Feng."

"Don't be disappointed, don't be disappointed." Feng Xiaogang greeted: "Come on, come on, Dehua, please sit down! Everyone, sit down!"

After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, someone else opened the door and came in.

Chen Shuo took a look and saw that it was Liu Ruoying, who was born in Taiwan, and her agent and assistant.

Feng Xiaogang greeted her again, and after she sat down, he said: "Everyone is here, let's talk about business.

From now on, our drama begins formal preparations.

I’m calling everyone here today, which means I’m going to talk about the character issues in this drama.

Although our script has been finalized, we can all brainstorm and shape the characters better.

There are only a few main characters in this drama, and it goes without saying that the male and female protagonists Wang Bo and Wang Li are there.

You two, Dehua and Ruoying, are in charge. We also recognize your strength.

Uncle Li, the leader of the pickpocket gang, is played by Youzi; the police officer chasing Wang Bo and the two men is played by Zhang Hanyu.

There are still Shagen and a few of Uncle Li's men left, which we were not sure about before.

Shagen is still looking for him. It’s hard to find an actor who fits this role, and he has no idea when he will find him.

Today, let’s settle some of Uncle Li’s men first. "

Assistant director Xu Zongzheng said: "According to the setting, Uncle Li has a huge gang of dozens of people.

But now that our movie is limited in duration, it is definitely impossible to portray so many people. The camp we have decided on now is two men and one woman.

Lao Er, Si Yan and Xiao Ye, these three characters will be the main representatives of the gang.

Andy previously said that he would recommend two people, and they must be Lin Jiadong and Chen Shuo. "

"Yes, I think the two of them are quite suitable." Liu Dehua nodded and said, "However, in terms of casting, it still has to be decided by Director Feng.

If you think it works, then it really works. After all, Director Feng is the helmsman of our show. "

"Since Dehua recommended them both, there must be no problem." Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "However, they are Yuzi's subordinates. Let Yuzi decide whether they are suitable or not. What do you think of Dehua?"

Liu Dehua responded: "Yes, Teacher Ge's acting skills are obvious to all. If he says it works, then it will definitely work. If it doesn't, then it definitely won't work."

"Hey, as an actor, can't I just act honestly?" Ge You said in his unique voice: "But since you all think this is okay.

Let’s just give it a try and see if it works. Let’s take a look. "

Liu Dehua heard this and said to Liu Jiadong and Chen Shuo: "In this case, you two will learn from Teacher Ge. Whether you can succeed or not, if you can act like Teacher Ge, it is a kind of learning."

"Thank you, Director Feng, and thank you, Teacher Ge." Chen Shuo and Chen Shuo stood up and thanked them.

Ge You waved his hand, asked the two of them to sit down, and said, "Sit down, learn from each other, learn from each other."

Feng Xiaogang said: "Youzi chooses a play and asks Bingbing to join him. It just so happens that the four of you perform a play and see if it works."

"Okay, let's play the play in which the four of us appear together." Ge You said to screenwriter Lin Lisheng: "Please Lisheng, please find the script of this play and let them have a look."

Seeing Lin Lisheng give the script to the three of them, Feng Xiaogang added: "The three of them will read the script there, and let's talk about some of the characters in the play.

Although the script is finalized, the inspiration of the actors is also an important part of a good movie.

Dehua comes first. "

"My understanding..."

Liu Dehua and the others were discussing the script and characters there, leaving aside the fact that Chen Shuo, Lin Jiadong and Li Bingbing took the script given by Lin Lisheng and began to prepare.

To be honest, acting with Ge You is still very stressful for Chen Shuo.

When it comes to who the top talented actor in the country is, there are probably many different opinions among the audience.

But when it comes to the top group of talented actors in the country, Ge You must have a place.

In 1994, he won the Best Actor Award at the 47th Cannes International Film Festival for his movie "Alive", becoming the first Cannes Best Actor in Mainland China.

Perhaps the first impression everyone has of him is the dramatic characters in several films directed by Feng Xiaogang.

But he is not limited to one kind of performance.

It's just that he is best at portraying little characters with distinctive personalities vividly.

Such a person, according to Chen Shuo's estimation, is at least on his way to becoming a legend in his career as an actor.

And now, he is just getting started.

With such a great master around, Chen Shuo didn't dare to show any slights to this simple audition.

As Andy Lau said, being able to act in a scene with him is a rare learning experience.

He carefully looked at the script in his hand. This scene was the scene where the pickpocket gang appeared.

The perspective starts from the second child. As he enters the waiting room of the station, Uncle Li dressed as an old man, Si Yan who spins coins to practice his finger dexterity, and Xiao Ye who looks at her manicure appear.

At the beginning, the second son told everyone not to go to Uncle Li, especially Xiaoye.

It's just that Xiaoye didn't care at all. He was annoyed by being said, so he said back and said, "Four Eyes is getting old too, why don't you talk about him?"

His four eyes were not angry, and he said tit for tat: "Did I step on your tail?"

Xiaoye was not angry when he saw it, and sat directly in front of Uncle Li.

Then Uncle Li spoke a line that was very characteristic of Feng Xiaogang.

The second child saw that Xiaoye was favored and reminded Siyan to be a good person.

After hearing this, Si Yan hurriedly came to Uncle Li's side to show his loyalty.

Finally, with Uncle Li's superb skills, he delivered the watch in his hand to Siyan's hand.

In the whole scene, although the second child has the most lines, he is always supporting the role of Uncle Li.

Even the overt and covert fights between Si Yan and Xiao Ye are all trying to please Uncle Li and demonstrate his absolute status.

And the last move showed that Uncle Li became the leader not because he entered the industry early or because of his seniority, but because of his practical methods.

The importance of the remaining three people is, in order, Lao Er, Xiao Ye, and finally Si Yan.

It is not difficult to see from the script that he belongs to the lowest level of the gang and is a bit lucid.

After all, if he really wanted to be strong, he should be like Xiaoye, playing with his fingers or relaxing in other ways, instead of studying hard and practicing hard.

If he was smart, he would definitely not be able to tell the difference between the big and small kings, and he would not blatantly conflict with Xiao Ye in front of Uncle Li.
