After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 63 Chapter Six Three Selected Script
After returning from Liangzhou, Li Mingji only rested for one night, and continued to work on the script the next day.

Quotations from Versailles: Sometimes it is troublesome to have too many scripts to choose from, especially the good ones and bad ones. You may have a good attitude before watching it, but your mentality will explode after half of it.

If those who are on the street or the little transparent people know Li Mingji's thoughts, it is estimated that the real mentality will explode.

But this can be regarded as training patience and endurance. Anyway, basically when it comes to a part with special routines or particularly disgusting people, Li Mingji will pass directly, without asking Brother Wang and the others for help.

Anyway, there are many options, not to mention that he has two films that have not yet entered the group, so he also has the confidence.

The last few people have finally gone through all the script invitations accumulated in the company during this period of time. Good guy should have more than 50 scripts in total, with different lengths, but without exception, they are at least the role of male number two or above. .

This can also be seen how special the previous "Dragonborn 2" is. After all, with Li Mingji's current appearance, let him play a supporting role, unless he is a superstar with a super cast accumulation, otherwise he is indeed rejected Maybe bigger.

And it's not the only movie script among them. If Li Mingji hadn't insisted, Wang Ge, Xiaoguang and the others would have eliminated that script from the beginning.

After selecting interesting or relatively good scripts from the remaining ones, they have to eliminate them again, and finally select the ones that need to inquire about news or even contact the show.

Brother Wang said: "Now consider the time arrangement first, and then look at the composition of the crew, especially the director, the actors who play important roles, and the positioning of the roles..."

"Bodyguard" is confirmed to join the group later this month, and "Dragonborn 2" will be interspersed in the middle. That drama is still casting, although there are only some supporting roles, but I don't know when it will officially start filming, let alone it will be Li's turn. Mingji's role may take another two or three months.

If Li Mingji didn't want to do dramas as frequently as before and wanted to be more focused, he could have inserted another drama within this time, which would have been enough time.

But now...

Li Mingji thought for a while and said, "Then let's put aside the dramas that will be released in the first half of the year. We can't arrange the time. We can start thinking about the dramas in the second half of the year."

Although these scripts have been selected, there are no stories and characters that are particularly suitable for him like "Bodyguard" and "Dragonborn 2". Otherwise, even if it is a drama, he will definitely give it a try. Never miss an opportunity.

Going to a filming group will improve faster than practicing acting behind closed doors at home, and the evaluations of outsiders, especially directors and veterans in the entertainment industry, will be more accurate.

Brother Wang nodded, picked out a few of them and put them aside, then pointed to the rest and said, "Then there are only three scripts left..."

Good guy, it's one of the three classics again.

Li Mingji looked at the last three remaining scripts in front of him, one was the "rumored three princesses" recommended by Aya, and the other two were selected by him later, "Top Secret Files" and "The City".

The former followed Brother Wang's suggestion and chose a spy film similar to "Black Hand".

Compared with the widespread anti-Japanese themes, although spy war dramas are often shoddy or stereotyped, the probability of quality dramas is indeed higher, and the overall quality seems to be stronger.

Moreover, there are many things in this script that can make people's eyes shine. The protagonist neither takes the tall route, nor does he follow the dark and funny route.

Now in this kind of drama, these two kinds of male protagonists are really common. It is okay to talk about it occasionally, but if there are too many times, a good story may be unreadable because of the male protagonist.

In particular, the viewing groups of such dramas are relatively fixed, which is more likely to affect the audience's perception.

The protagonist of "Top Secret Files" was just a rookie who came from a remote country and knew nothing. However, due to various reasons, he came into the sight of a certain agency and became the target of its training.

Although he made a lot of jokes at the beginning, as his learning and experience gradually enriched, he also grew up slowly, and finally entered the "top secret file" and became a lurker behind the enemy's rear. Called a three-faced spy.

The entire story basically revolves around the various struggles in the past 20 years. At the same time, the protagonist goes from a newcomer at the beginning to an agent who takes charge later. The descriptions are quite wonderful and the lines are also very sharp.

More importantly, the partner of this cooperation, Director Liu Anhua has produced many excellent works in the past few years, which is worth looking forward to. The screenwriter is Wei Dong, the lead writer of last year's national drama "Strategy of Border Town" and the previous year's drama "Legend of the Tang Dynasty". There are also quite a few old drama characters among the roles that have been confirmed.

These are undoubtedly the guarantees for the success of this drama, or in other words, they guarantee the lower limit of this drama.

As for Li Mingji, maybe he may become the one who raises the upper limit.

Because this role is so brilliant, Brother Wang was even worried about whether he could interpret it well, but he still wanted to challenge it.

And by that time, I will no longer be a rookie after having experienced "Bodyguard" and "Dragonborn 2", and I should have accumulated some experience, and maybe my acting skills will improve a lot by then.

Anyway, let’s decide here first, let’s see.

The latter is an adaptation of a play. The original work is the early work of Tao Ye, a famous writer who won a domestic literary award. , while also leading the team to play games.

Yes, this is an extremely rare competitive theme in China. Of course, suspense is also added to the main body.

After all, purely competitive content, even if there are many domestic fans, is not the same thing as being made into a movie, and it is still too small.

If it is in Hollywood, niche themes may also blossom, but in China, the film and television industry chain is still immature, and it is difficult to make money if niche themes are not pleasing, so few people will choose to shoot such themes.

Li Mingji just thinks this is interesting and rare, and the cast and crew are well-known according to Brother Wang's evaluation, so it's okay to try it.

This role is also challenging, and it is really similar to his current situation. A big star who is in controversy and various turmoil, maybe in the eyes of the crew, he is acting in his true colors?
Of course, these three are all TV dramas. After all, good movie scripts are rarer than ever.

Even if it is "Dragonborn 2", if there is no influence from his previous life, he may not choose it. After all, strictly speaking, the script is not particularly brilliant.

If it's not particularly good, it's better to stay in the comfort zone of TV.

Regarding Li Mingji's choice, Brother Wang and the others didn't say anything, he has the freedom to choose, not to mention that this is only a preliminary decision, and he will have to contact the crew later to discuss issues such as remuneration.

Although these three dramas belong to the second half of the year, they are actually three or four months away from now. If the preparation goes well, it may be brought forward, so we have to start contacting at this time.

"That's how it is, everyone has worked hard these few days..."

In the end, Brother Wang asked Xiaoguang to keep those scripts and seal them up to prevent accidents. After all, even if you don’t use scripts, you can’t throw them away at will. If they are leaked, it will be troublesome.

Then he laughed again: "Let's go out to eat tonight, I'll treat you."

"Long live Brother Wang!"

Aya immediately raised her hands up, even though they didn't cook it by themselves, and they used to call for food, but eating outside and calling over always feels a little different.

Li Mingji and Xiaoguang naturally agreed, tidied up, and the group went out directly.
