After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 284
Now that the preliminary "review" of scripts is over, the next step is to select interested ones as before. In addition to those three, the next few people selected three scripts and three invitations.

"The first one is a... um, a suspense drama?"

Li Mingji looked at it, and it turned out to be a "Mist Theater" made by Kiwi Video, a TV series adapted from the work of the famous writer Zijin Chen, tentatively named "Long Night is Difficult to Understand".

Li Mingji is cast as a young prosecutor in the film. In terms of the role, he is considered to be the second male lead in the film, because the male lead has been selected as the European Silver Bear (Best Actor) Award winner Zhu Fan.

This Zhu Fan is said to be the 32nd grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is a "descendant of the royal family" and looks exactly like the portrait of his ancestor.

But this person is up to the mark, of course it is in this era, no matter how awesome your ancestor is, he has to start over again, he is lucky, at least he has a good family background, which gave him the opportunity to chase his dreams, but he is also talented, Before winning the Silver Bear Award, he had already won the Golden Dragon Award.

With such a weight, it is naturally enough to play the protagonist of an online drama, and it is no problem to suppress Li Mingji, and Li Mingji is not unfair in supporting him, on the contrary, he can "climb" to a new one for himself. Acting school and excited.

But Brother Wang said: "But you have to be careful. I heard that Zhu Fan has a bad temper. He may not sell your face. If you have anything to do, wait to get along first, and then do it when you have an understanding."

Xiaoguang said strangely: "Brother Mingji didn't have any conflicts with him, and he didn't provoke him. He took care not to target Brother Mingji, right?"

Brother Wang shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with Mingji, it's because he has always been unimpressed with fresh meat and traffic, he has no control over the casting of the crew, but until Mingji shows him a convincing performance, don't even try to get him." approval."

"His approval is useless..." Xiaoguang muttered for a while, which naturally attracted Brother Wang's stare.

But Li Mingji said with a smile: "I know, I will definitely pay attention to it when the time comes. I am not the kind of familiar..."

Brother Wang nodded, now that Li Mingji reassured him more and more, since he said that, he would stop talking.

Then he took out the next copy, which is also a script of a web drama, but it is a script about game competition.

Competitive competition can now be regarded as entering the room. Although many people in China still consider playing games to be a nonsense, the success in commercialization has also made this sector not as unpopular as it was in the beginning. At least those e-sports players can be regarded as successful people.

This drama is essentially a game promotion, but unlike most of the idol dramas on the market now that are just disguised as idols, the story content of this drama is still about pursuing a good career, playing games, and doing e-sports, and The character development inside is also good.

Li Mingji took a fancy to these and left this notebook.

However, although this book was selected, it is more like a short and tall one. It is a candidate, and its importance must be lower than other scripts.

So there is nothing to discuss. After taking it out and putting it aside, I went directly to the next script.

"this is……"

Brother Wang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what your attitude is towards this book, but I hope you will be able to take it down!"

"Forehead……"

Although Li Mingji was speechless, he could understand why Brother Wang said that.

Because this is exactly what he has been expecting, the official-led main theme movie, called "Climbing", also tells a story of mountain climbing.

And it is not an ordinary mountain to climb, but the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest.

Xiaoguang smiled at this moment: "Wu Jing is also within the range of their invitation, and then you will be able to cooperate together again."

"But this book..."

To be honest, Li Ming was a little distressed. Strictly speaking, if he knew the background of this story, he would have some expectations for this movie.

To put it bluntly, as long as they can copy the history as it is, the plot of this movie will not be bad.

That's right, this is a movie based on historical facts. There were indeed such a group of people in history who climbed mountains for the honor of the country and succeeded. However, the script they created is now in the hands of Li Mingji...

how to say?

The story has historical facts as a reference. In fact, there is basically nothing to say, but after reading it, Li Mingji felt that its focus seemed to be a bit problematic. It paid too much attention to the shaping of the characters and the emotions between them, and it was out of the mountaineering. the thing itself.

In fact, in such a story, mountain climbing can be highlighted, and the shining points of the characters can naturally be slowly revealed during the mountain climbing process. There is no need to spend a lot of pen and ink describing emotional issues.

This is a bit like those workplace dramas in China. They were originally serious about their careers, and the audience came here for it, but they turned into idol dramas and romance dramas. Maybe some female audiences, especially housewives, stayed. , but most viewers will abandon this kind of drama.

In the end, isn't it worth the candle?
After all, housewives have a requirement for chasing dramas. As long as you shoot well, they can watch any genre. After all, it is something to pass the time.
It is one thing to have a sense of substitution, but it is another thing to feel depressed after watching it and then not being able to cook a good meal, and the whole family becomes depressed.

If this movie script is done like this, it is putting the cart before the horse, and it will definitely be scolded at that time.

And this is not the finalized script, it seems a bit rough.

In fact, he can also understand why there is such a rough feeling, because this movie is scheduled to be released on National Day, and it is still in the preparation stage at this time.

It’s just that the actors have to be selected first, and then go to group training-after all, when the time comes, they will have to shoot on the spot. Although it is impossible to really climb to Mount Everest, mountain climbing exercises are essential, otherwise the shooting will be too fake.

And there may be a script seminar later, and the script may have a chance to be corrected.

However, Li Mingji is still not very optimistic about this, because judging from the current composition of the crew, it doesn't feel like he wants to make a good movie with the main theme.

There is nothing wrong with the actor Wu Jing, but what about the others?
Even including myself, it may be unfair to say that they are all traffic and resource coffee, but it is always reliable to say that they randomly choose people based on their fame.

Of course, after all, the main reason is that in Li Mingji's impression, he also had such a "similar" movie in his previous life, and it ended up on the street.

Moreover, the box office and word-of-mouth have all rushed, and under the premise of having such a box office weapon as "Jingzha", it can only guarantee a bottom line.

In the eyes of many people, the script has problems, the director has problems, and the actors have the least problems. After all, they have no choice.

But later it was rumored that a certain heroine was actually suspected of changing the play, which was embarrassing again.

The resource coffee is actually me?

Putting it here, when other conditions are basically met, in Li Mingji's view, this piece of fat that looks delicious is more like a big pit.

It doesn't matter if he pits Wujing, anyway, he has a strong foundation, especially after the release of "Dragonborn 2", he has to attack at least three or four times in a row before he can shake his current position.

But Li Mingji didn't dare to try. He didn't have the strength to get rid of the influence after being cheated.

If you don't know, there's nothing you can do. If you know, you will definitely reject it.

So even though Brother Wang urged him again and again, he only put this book in a relatively low position in his heart, even further behind the game book. After all, at least the script is highly completed and should be well-known after filming.

Now he only cares about word-of-mouth, and it's okay to make one or two hits. After all, although his reputation has improved a lot, it's still relatively low.

What is missing is what to make up for, isn't it?

Of course, it is impossible for Li Mingji to choose all of the six scripts selected here. Let alone whether he has the time to shoot all of them, the production schedule of these few scripts itself does not allow it.

It’s impossible to let him take over all of the scenes. If it’s just a bad film crew that values ​​​​his traffic and makes quick money, it probably doesn’t matter, but these six are selected, at least they are all serious and want to make a good film—at least watch There are always such crews, but they may not be used to him.

Li Mingji didn't want to have all of them, he only got what he had to give up, and now he made a decision on the follow-up arrangements according to the six scripts.

Brother Wang first smiled and said: "Now we are choosing four out of six, the 'film' is to be determined, it depends on the audition results, Feng Yuanlu, if you are really interested in Mingji, then count it as one, this film will start filming next month.

"Then 'Top Secret Files' can be followed by 'Feng Yuan Lu', a little bit interspersed will not affect it, after all, the filming of 'Feng Yuan Lu' should be nearing the end at that time; after that, there will be this 'Long Night Difficult to Understand', Mingji, you seem very Like the script?"

Li Mingji said with a smile: "I want to try anyway, this role is quite challenging for me."

Although action movies are good, but looking at so many books received this time, only "Top Secret Files" and "Feng Yuanlu" have certain action scenes. If "Shadow" plays Sun Quan, there are no action scenes. In fact, there is no choice.

And the few books selected this time are not too difficult, the most rare must be "Top Secret Files", but that one can also be made up for by action scenes, and the next one is "Long Night Difficult to Understand", which are basically literary dramas , so for Li Mingji, it is indeed the most challenging.

As for the last remaining "climbing" and "stimulating the battlefield", his personal impressions are average, and even if you don't talk about the script and themes, these two characters are actually relatively average. This is generally because he thinks that he is somewhat similar to himself. It's easier to explain, and it's not that complicated.

Brother Wang is obviously aware of this, and his meaning is also very obvious, "Then wait for the audition results of 'Shadow' to come out first, I will contact 'Top Secret Files' and "Long Night Difficult to Understand" first, 'Feng Yuanlu ’ and leave it to the company to discuss.”

Naturally, this means to give the company a chance to install. After all, "Feng Yuanlu" is a cool drama in essence. Although they all choose old dramas, they also have a certain role in the role, which is used to exchange favors and benefits.

This can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the industry. It is said to be a key project, but Penguin pays enough attention to it and spends enough money, not that it cannot squeeze in.

As long as Li Mingji is willing to participate in the performance, the other side will definitely be willing to give this face. It is not a big problem for Weiheng Entertainment to insert one or two people in.

Although what Mr. Da Li said before was nice, but it is impossible for Li Mingji to take care of himself completely. He didn't express anything at all. Mr. Da Li may not say anything, but he must keep others' mouths shut.

At least for now, he hasn't set up his own studio, and he's still a member of the company, so he still has to pay attention to the company's views.

Of course, the most important thing is that this does not involve his core interests, and it is actually good for him. A reputation of "repaying with kindness" will also help Li Mingji to build a good impression.

Although this is a circle that may eat people without spitting out their bones, everyone still has to pretend to be elegant. If reputation is really useless, then there will not be so many people who cherish feathers and create people.

"Mingji, are you really not interested in 'climbing'?" Brother Wang is not reconciled, he is the same as the people in the company, he still values ​​Li Mingji's vision in choosing scripts, so he will not put his own wishes into consideration. Imposed on him, just wondering why.

After Li Mingji said a few words, he said: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. In fact, I don't reject the main theme. If there is a good one, I definitely hope to participate in it. After all, it is indeed beneficial, but It definitely won’t be this kind of hip-pull work.”

Brother Wang nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "That's fine, I'll help you pay attention to it later, if there is something suitable, I'll take a look."

"Well, thank you, Brother Wang."

"Why are you talking about that?" Brother Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you hadn't had successful experience, you thought I would be so easily persuaded by you?"

Li Mingji laughed twice and watched him go to contact.

The reply from the crew of "Shadow" came quickly, presumably because Super Chen had greeted him before, and Super Chen meant to let Li Mingji think about it himself, and Li Mingji was obviously not rejected there, and the two sides were very happy. The audition time is almost set.

"It must be after the Lantern Festival. After all, I have to let Director Zhang finish the festival." Brother Wang laughed and said, "Director Zhang has always had a good reputation in the industry and has a good temper. If you prepare well, there should be no problem."

Li Mingji smiled and said, "Since when did you have so much confidence in me?"

Xiaoguang laughed beside him and said, "Brother Wang is also a Muqiang faction. The stronger you are, Brother Mingji, the more he will listen to you?"

Although the manager is professional, but if the artist himself has enough opinions, of course the artist's opinion should be the main one.

At this time, Brother Wang suddenly thought of a question, and said, "Hey, it's almost time now, and the limelight should be about the same, Mingji, would you like to take some time to go to the hospital to see how many of them are Wills?"

Li Mingji was taken aback when he heard this, it wasn't Brother Wang who mentioned it, to be honest he really forgot about it.

After all, not many people mentioned this in the newspapers. After all, they are now full of news related to hot topics such as "Dragonborn 2". The news is time-sensitive. Li Mingji has no news to dig here. Concerned about the WILLS girl group?
