Chapter 181 Circle, Adaptation Is Not Fabrication
When Lin Xing took over Ding Chunling's script and saw it was "For Whom the Bell Tolls", he felt that this entertainment was really a circle.
He didn't expect that Ding Chunling had just talked to Ren Shuai and handed him the script.
But Lin Xing never expected that Zu Ming and Dong Deng knew each other.
When Dong Deng knew that Lin Xing was about to audition for the role, he took the opportunity to ask Zu Ming. After all, for Dong Deng, the actors of the three Chen brothers in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" were crucial.
He needs to have chemistry.
Liang Yi couldn't change this, so it fell on the second and third male roles.
Ren Shuai's acting skills are quite good, and Dong Deng really wanted Ren Shuai to play the third male lead.
And because the role of Chen Xuewen in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is too important, more importantly, Dong Deng wanted an actor who could take on the role.
Because of this, he keeps auditioning various actors.
After all, it is impossible to replace Liang Yi, so the second male lead, Chen Xuewen, who also has the second most roles in the drama, must find an acting talent.
But acting people should not be too ugly. Not only should they not be too ugly, they should also be handsome and charming.
right.
To be charming, this kind of charm is not just about having a handsome face like a little fresh meat, but what is needed is unique charm.
So Dong Deng tried a lot of actors, and he found that only Lu Qu was a bit more capable, but Dong Deng was still considering whether to use Lu Qu.
Then Lin Xing came.
What Zu Ming said to Dong Deng was: "You have to believe Lin Xing. Lin Xing has a talent, that is, he has a very thorough understanding of characters. Just look at the character Zhou Bo in "Anti-Gangster". Well, if it were a different actor, it would never have the same effect.”
At that time, Dong Deng was worried about Lin Xing's age.
But Zu Ming laughed: "Didn't you watch Lin Xing's performance in "Bad Kid"? Believe me, you said that it might not be possible for Lin Xing to play a 70-year-old, but he is only a few years younger. How could it be bad?"
That's right.
Zu Ming was really very optimistic about Lin Xing during the filming of "The Big Brother". What's more, whether Lin Xing was working hard during the filming of "The Big Brother" or later he was promoting "The Big Brother" all by himself. Do your best and so on.
Zu Ming can see all these.
Therefore, when Dong Deng asked Zu Ming for his opinion, Zu Ming did not hesitate to say that he should be used, he should be used, he must be used.
Zu Ming even said that Dong Deng would never regret using Lin Xing, and there might even be some unexpected surprises.
unexpected surprise?
Dong Deng didn't really believe this. He even thought Zu Ming's words were a bit exaggerated. However, when Dong Deng was interviewing Lin Xing, when he and Lin Xing talked about the role of Chen Xuewen, Dong Deng listened. After understanding Lin Xing's understanding of Chen Xuewen, Dong Deng made up his mind to use Lin Xing directly.
After the dinner, Lin Xing said goodbye to the two directors in turn.
There are only three people in this game today, Lin Xing, Zu Ming, and Dong Deng.
It can also be seen from here that Zu Ming attaches great importance to Lin Xing.
"Ancestor, there is no need for you to be like this."
After Lin Xing left, Dong Deng said a little funny: "Since I have already used Lin Xing, I have taken the makeup photos, and will start shooting soon, how can I change my mind again??"
Zu Ming chuckled: "Of course I know I won't change my mind, but we just happened to get it together. I'll let you see it first."
Dong Deng said: "Old Ancestor, I know that Lin Xing's acting skills are indeed good, and I also watched his recent performance in the drama "Bad Kid". It is indeed good, but are you too optimistic about him??"
"You'll find out when you start filming. Do you remember what I told you?"
Zu Ming said: "This Lin Xing always surprises people."
"Okay, we'll see when the time comes, but this time I'd like to congratulate you in advance on winning the Best Director."
Dong Deng picked up the wine glass and said, "Because I have to participate in the study of the script, I won't support you anymore."
Zu Ming shook his head and said, "Look, the Magnolia Awards are no longer what they used to be. Not to mention Best Director, I think the Best Actor and Best Actress shortlisted this year are a bit weird."
"More than weird??"
Dong Deng sneered: "Then why is Chu Chen shortlisted? How can he compete with Ren Yiqu? It's ridiculous that he is the only one to be shortlisted for this drama."
Obviously, old-school directors like Dong Deng and Zu Ming couldn't stand it. Chu Chen was a target in Shidi, and everyone was really unhappy.
It can be seen that the tear on the rear side is more severe.
This time, there are currently 5 Magnolia nominees on the list, and among them, the one with the highest voice, or the most traffic, is Zhu Yue.
Zhu Yue, who is just 37 years old this year, has been moving closer to the mainstream in the past few years. She is a popular actress, and she has previously filmed idol dramas and fairy tale dramas.
Three years ago, Zhu Yue began to make a decisive transformation. She first filmed reality-themed dramas. Unlike other actresses who dare not grow old, Zhu Yue took over the filming of domestic violence-themed TV dramas at the age of 34, and made her first Being a mother on the show.
This time, Zhu Yue was nominated for Best Actress for the TV series "Headwind", which also has a realistic theme. In this drama, Zhu Yue plays a female lawyer who makes a comeback against the wind.
In addition to Zhu Yue, there are also Lou Liru who was nominated for Best Actress for "Little Things, Big Love", Jiao Ying who was nominated for Best Actress for "Chess Player", and Teng Jingyan who was nominated for Best Actress for "Stranger Couple".
It has to be said that Lou Liru, Jiao Ying, and Teng Jingyan are all senior actresses in the industry. This is even Lou Liru's fourth nomination for Magnolia.
However, Lou Liru was unlucky. She failed in the previous three nominations for Best Actress, and each time she encountered stronger opponents.
But this time, everyone thinks that even if there is a pork distribution, Lou Liru should be given it.
In addition to these four actors, there is also the drama "Women at Forty", which had extremely high ratings and popularity last year. The drama was nominated for Best Actress by Bian Meihui.
Unlike the previous four actors, Bian Meihui has not had many representative works in recent years. Most of the TV series she filmed have failed. This time she took on "Women at Forty" because other actors refused to play her.
This "Woman at 40" is not a drama with profound realistic themes. It doesn't even tell the plight of women at 40. Bian Meihui plays a rich wife, and then she is kicked out of the house after her husband cheats on her, and then she meets a little wolf dog and a series of bloody stories.
But the ratings are still very good.
This is the difference between TV stations and video websites.
You think many TV series have failed, but they still have good ratings, because the more bloody they are, the better the ratings are, because many TV customers buy into this.
However, Bian Meihui's voice is still the lowest at present. First of all, her traffic is not as big as Zhu Yue. Secondly, in terms of acting skills, Bian Meihui can't compare with Lou Liru, she can't compare with Jiao Ying and Teng Jingyan.
It is precisely because of this that Bian Meihui is the one with the lowest voice at present.
"I think Lou Liru will definitely win the Magnolia Award this time."
"I also think Lou Liru should win it, and it's been so long, it's time for Lou Liru to win it once."
"Stop controlling the comments of a certain actor's stupid fans, you actors don't deserve it."
...
After Lin Xing returned to the hotel, he took a hot bath, and then came out to check the situation on the Internet.
At present, the discussion about the Magnolia Award is still very fierce.
As for the TV King, I mentioned before that Chu Chen's fans are quite powerful, and they really don't think Chu Chen can win the TV King.
But the TV Queen is different.
First of all, although Zhu Yue has been acting in serious dramas for the past three years and has been moving towards the mainstream, to be honest, her acting skills are really poor.
It is a typical 3 points talent, 5 points acting skills, and 9 points bragging.
In this movie, many people think that Zhu Yue should win the TV Queen on Weibo's hot search.
Fans of popular artists are sometimes annoying in this way, controlling comments, and then swiping the screen, and even cursing when others say something bad.
Moreover, it is not only the popular artists who have traffic, but also powerful actors like Lou Liru.
So the fight is naturally quite terrifying.
Lin Xing only took a rough look at the situation on the Internet. In addition to Bai Yulan, there is the drama "The Power of the Heart".
Because the issue of "children" is still a hot topic for "The Power of the Heart".
This is probably also deliberately done by the crew, because the current discussion of "The Power of the Heart" is also hot.
Even tonight, "The Power of the Heart" is still in the top ten of the hot search list.
Let's take a look at "For Whom the Bell Tolls", it is indeed a little bit behind.
The popularity depends entirely on Liang Yi.
The next day.
"Brother Xing, this script reading starts at 9:40."
Xiao Nan helped Lin Xing bring breakfast, and then said to Lin Xing: "Today should be the first meeting of the crew."
"Well, it seems that there is still time."
Lin Xing said while eating breakfast: "I'll go to the gym to exercise first."
Originally, Lin Xing wanted to go out for a run, but this place is near the Magic City Film and Television Base after all. Not to mention that many passers-by recognized Lin Xing and wanted to take pictures, there were even some people who wanted to greet Lin Xing and take pictures.
In order to avoid trouble, Lin Xing simply exercised in the hotel.
This time, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" booked the third floor of this hotel, mainly for the actors to stay, and also to facilitate the next script reading.
At 9:30, Lin Xing arrived in the meeting room.
"A Xing..."
Ren Shuai looked at Lin Xing and greeted him and said with a smile: "Did you arrive yesterday?"
"Yes, I arrived yesterday."
Lin Xing smiled and said while sitting in front of Ren Shuai.
At present, the names of the actors have been placed in the conference room. Lin Xing and Ren Shuai are sitting in the first row.
Other actors have also arrived one after another.
Lin Xing found that these actors are really working together for the first time.
He heard Dong Deng say at dinner yesterday that the selection of actors for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" had actually started a long time ago, and Dong Deng invited many industry masters.
Two-thirds of these are well-known actors in the industry. They have both acting skills but not much traffic. More importantly, the cost performance is quite good.
"Axing..."
Five minutes later, Lin Xing finally met an acquaintance.
Wei Fei.
Lin Xing did not expect Wei Fei to show up.
"Sister Fei..."
Lin Xing was really a little surprised.
Because Wei Fei's name was not mentioned in the official promotion of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and Wei Fei didn't even contact Lin Xing.
"Surprised? Unexpected?"
Wei Fei came to Lin Xing and laughed.
"It's a bit surprising..."
Lin Xing nodded gently: "Sister Fei, are you a guest star?"
"No, not a guest star, we have a lot of rival scenes next..."
Wei Fei said: "After it's over, we'll find a place to drink and chat."
"Okay."
Lin Xing nodded gently.
A few minutes later, the actors were basically all there.
There are quite a few actresses in this play. In addition to Wei Fei, there are several other young ones, but they are not the kind of traffic artists.
Unlike Dong Xia and Tong Jing who were absent during the script reading of "Bad Kids", Ling Mei, the heroine of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", appeared.
"Director Dong..."
After Dong Deng arrived, everyone greeted Dong Deng.
"Everyone sit down."
Dong Deng waved his hand slightly.
"Director Dong, let's start shooting right away."
Then the producer of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" smiled and said, "Let's just record it briefly this time, I..."
"Okay, whatever you want."
Dong Deng interrupted and said, "Let's start right away."
Before starting, Dong Deng first gave a brief opening speech. Today's so-called script reading is mainly for everyone to introduce themselves and get to know each other.
At the same time, there are some discussions about "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
"I hope everyone can speak freely. We are going to shoot a spy war drama. The first thing we have to do for this spy war drama is not to mess up the main line, and secondly, we must not go off topic..."
Dong Deng took the lead and said, "We have to respect the script, because adaptation is not a random fabrication."
Everyone deeply agrees with this point.
Just like some movies are obviously biographies, but they randomly add emotional lines to the characters, and then push all the real stories away, and have to create their own so-called stories.
As a result, the movie was criticized by everyone.
Last year, the director, screenwriter, and actors made random changes to the biography of the principal, and then said that the audience didn't appreciate it, which made the audience scold them.
Adaptation sometimes faces the same situation.
If you don't want to respect the original, then why do you want to shoot it? ?
Isn't it better for you to create a story yourself? ? ?
"We also invited the author of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" to the scene..."
Dong Deng said and applauded.
