Chapter 62

When Zhang Rilong was preparing, Liu Suifeng also arranged for an assistant director to come to help.

"Manager Li Suifeng Li asked me to come and help, and I can just leave the filming to me."

Assistant director Wu Zhihe is a 38-year-old high-achieving student who graduated from a regular film university.

I have been working for more than ten years since I graduated, and I am still a third-rate director.

Zhang Rilong saw that Liu Suifeng had sent someone over, so he said: "I will start school in a few days, and I usually have a lot of things to do. You can do the filming. You just need to act normally according to the script. Don't spoil anyone. The quality is the main thing, if it doesn’t work, take more shots.”

It's the National Day holiday now, otherwise Zhang Rilong wouldn't be so free.

Wu Zhihe knew about this arrangement before he came again. Apart from making money this time, he also had the idea of ​​improving his qualifications.

After reading the script, Wu Zhihe felt that this drama was just an ordinary TV drama with nothing special about it.

"Does the script need to be revised by a professional script team?"

Wu Zhihe put forward his own opinion. He felt that the script was not good.

Zhang Rilong said affirmatively: "No, just follow this script. I don't allow actors or anyone else to change my things. If anyone changes, I will pay liquidated damages according to the contract procedure!"

Whether it is the actors or the rest of the staff, they all signed the contract while getting the money.

Including confidentiality contracts and work contracts, you can't keep asking for leave for various reasons after getting the money.

It is also a violation of the rules to change the lines without permission and not comply with the requirements of the director and filming party.

Generally, this kind of behavior is easy to talk about. Sometimes actors do have the right to speak, and it is better to change it.

But it's hard to say when you meet a powerful director like Zhang Rilong.

Wu Zhihe thought for a while, and then said: "I think it's inappropriate to use a woman to play the leading role. There are quite a few weak and scholarly actors on the market. Many of the current popular niches are like this, and it's easier to gather popularity. .”

Zhang Rilong said: "This involves the issue of publicity. I also know that it is better to use well-known actors, but the remuneration of big-name actors is too high. My current budget has been taken up by the leading actors."

The main roles are still concentrated on Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. These two people must first be suitable for their appearance and temperament.

This is the most critical place!
Zhang Rilong was willing to spend more than one-fifth of his budget on Lin Yaru because of her face and temperament!

Fortunately, she is still the kind of woman who is obedient and has some acting skills, otherwise the money would really be a vase.

Under the premise of forgetting many of the following plots, the role played by this woman is Zhang Rilong's confidence in this drama.

Wu Zhihe quickly said: "It's okay to use an actress, let me recommend someone."

"Do you have acting skills?" Zhang Rilong said directly: "The woman playing Xu Xian must have acting skills. This is not a vase role, and no newcomers are needed."

Wu Zhihe said: "It's not bad. I have starred in one or two movies and made commercials, but I am not famous."

"Fame is not important, what matters is temperament and ability." Zhang Rilong's requirements for Xu Xian's personal ability surpassed that of Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen's first requirement is not acting skills, but to make people feel that this woman is suitable to play Bai Suzhen at a glance. Standing there, she feels like a pleasing big beauty, and at the same time has a sense of tolerance like a big sister.

Xu Xian was different, he had to act out that weak, talkative and silly nerd.

Wu Zhihe saw that Zhang Rilong was not so easy to talk to, so he said, "Why don't you call her over and try?"

"Try to pay the fare, don't you think I don't understand? Post photos first, without makeup." Zhang Rilong is very clear about the rules here, he doesn't eat for free.

Calling someone over for an audition requires a fee. This is the rule.

According to the approximate degree of fame, the fare for traveling and horses is also different.

Some are just a few thousand yuan, while others are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions.

For a pretty and famous star like Mu Yanni, everyone eats and gets to know each other. Even if the director calls her to audition, she still has to pay.

In the entertainment industry, everyone talks about their own things like this, and they won't lose the face of asking for money just because they are familiar with each other.

The agent will also remind this kind of thing that everyone has a group of people to support, and they can't afford to delay.

Wu Zhihe reluctantly took out his phone to search, and sent some beautiful photos.

"Pass! The temperament is wrong." Zhang Rilong directly denied it.

Wu Zhihe tried his best to say: "This person has acting skills, is obedient, is willing to work hard, and is willing to make progress."

"Whether she works hard or not has nothing to do with me?" Zhang Rilong frowned and looked at Wu Zhihe, "Does it matter? The track and field are full of people who work hard. You said that the last one worked hard, did it move the audience? Are you crying? We're not comparing each other!"

If you are qualified, you are qualified, if you are not qualified, you are not qualified. Zhang Rilong was willing to hold back his anger and humbly invite Lin Yaru, just because this woman is the most suitable candidate for him.

Because he didn't want to change the relationship between several images in memory, Zhang Rilong had very, very little room for choice, especially on the issue of male and female protagonists.

"You choose the venue first, rent the costumes and props, and I'll look for it later."

Wu Zhihe said, "Then I'll study the script first."

"No, I've already booked the first few venues, you go to shoot the scene first." Zhang Rilong said decisively: "I have worked hard to invite the heroine, and no one can harass her, whether it is for autographs or You can't even shake hands while eating."

Wu Zhihe didn't know what was going on here, so he planned to ask Liu Suifeng later.

Zhang Rilong soon went home to read books. He bought a lot of professional books on film criticism. Although he spent a lot of money, he needed relevant knowledge now.

The knowledge in the books does not represent Zhang Rilong's knowledge reserve. The reason why he attaches so much importance to Lin Yaru this time is that this woman's temperament and appearance are suitable.

Whether it's Director Jiang, Wu Zhihe and others, including script writers who may have obtained his script from other sources, they all think that "Legend of the White Snake" is rubbish.

But only Zhang Rilong himself believes why The Legend of the White Snake became popular, and it will definitely be popular!
There are many reasons why The Legend of the White Snake became popular, such as the script, casting, music and so on.

But only Zhang Rilong himself knows what is the biggest highlight of The Legend of the White Snake that can attract the audience.

It's the heroine!

Everyone in the film can be changed, but the heroine can't be changed. This is why Zhang Rilong worked so hard to cast a role.

It's not Lin Yaru who is important, but this character is important, this character is the soul of the whole play!
benevolent!

Bai Suzhen is a kingly character! ! !

In the words of the generation in 2011, they are Yamato Nadeko-style women.

Why use Yamato Nadeko to describe?
There is no such person as Yamato Nadeko in history, and Yamato Nadeko is not the name of a person.

Refers to women who are quiet and reserved, gentle and considerate, mature and stable, and have noble virtues, similar to domestic virtuous mothers and wives.

Yamato Nadeko-type women are usually regarded as "representatives of ideal women" or "typical pure feminine beauty".

Because I can’t find a corresponding good wife and mother in reality to describe it, but what’s interesting is that people in Sangguo think that Yamato Nadeko-style women only exist in Huaguo, and Sangguo is full of selfish and selfish women. .

The same is true in this era. Everyone thinks that such a good woman who is a good wife and mother does not exist, and even if it does exist, it is far away from everyone.

However, this is indeed a kingly character design, a character design that all men accept and like.

It can be said that from the very beginning, the whole drama was serving this "personal design", not the plot.

As long as this character can be maintained behind this drama, then this drama and this character will be popular for many years.

Only Zhang Rilong realized this, and the rest of the directors and actors focused on the plot, opera duets, and men dressed as women, ignoring the most deadly domineering character.

I will ignore this domineering personality, mainly because there is no shortage of good women with such a gentle personality in TV dramas.

In addition to TV dramas, many novels, comics, movies, and various types of scripts, there is no shortage of such gentle and loyal female characters, but the feedback from the audience is that they are not pleasing.

This kind of domineering persona is like a domineering manga.

Disaster!So hard to shape!

It's so well molded, it's also incredibly boring at times.

So that everyone thinks that a good woman who works hard is not as attractive as a bad woman.

From many, many years ago, the perfect female image has been very unpleasant, and some "bad women" characters are easy to arouse discussion and fans.

In this era of film and television where complex thoughts are everywhere, or the pursuit of freedom, daring to love and hate images of women, an inconspicuous and gentle character was lifted out of the corner by Zhang Rilong.

It is so inconspicuous that no one realizes that it is a kingly character under the eyes of everyone!
A matriarchal role from heaven, and a gentle big sister who is upside down, buy one get one free.

For this era where men don't believe in women and are used to lying down and seeking fantasy, this kind of persona is irresistible.

Just like hiding the drama duet secretly at the beginning, Zhang Rilong didn't explain the importance of the kingly character to anyone, including Jiang Wanyuan, who couldn't understand the script.

Everyone thought it was a rubbish script, which was in line with Zhang Rilong's own wishes, but it was difficult to find actors.

It is necessary to find Xu Xian, who disguises herself as a man, and Xiaoqing, who can't steal the show, to perfect Bai Suzhen's image.

This character set and the rest of the set complement each other, one prospers and one loses!
In short, it is to perfect the character setting, and strive to control the character setting to keep it on the ground smoothly from beginning to end.

Once someone wants to control the script and characters, or expand the script to add drama to this kingly person, then this kingly way will become, king bomb!
