The actor's daily life is a little sweet

Lin Man was prepared to be very busy from this year onwards. The next day he received a call from Tang Simei, saying that he had received several film offers and asked Lin Man to come over to read the script and pick out roles.

Choosing a script takes time and mind. After all, the Great Wall was not built in a day, and neither was the script.

Lin Man had selected scripts for Sun Jingnan before, and there were not many scripts at that time, so he didn’t think much of it. Now Lin Man saw the scripts he had delivered spread out on the table, and he felt a little heavy.

I heard Tang Simei say again that she has already browsed through these scripts quickly, and some of the teams have analyzed several works with mature production teams, selected a few of them that were rated as high-quality scripts, and are now handing over Let Lin Mann decide.

Tang Simei also said, "I personally recommend this Xianxia drama. The script is sent by the producer. You are asked to play the character named 'Pei Yuan' in the drama. My personal opinion is that if you can get this character, after the TV series airs, this will definitely become your most iconic role, believe it or not?"

Lin Man didn't expect Tang Simei to dare to make such a promise, so he first went to watch the fairy drama she recommended.

But he found that Pei Yuan was a villain.

There will be one or two villains in every TV series, each has its own badness, and without exception, they will be hated by the audience.And in so many TV dramas in China, as long as the actors who have played villains, they are all scolded by the audience.Many roles like this are given to newcomers who have just debuted, or actors who have acting skills but have never become popular.

Although the villains who are hated by the audience are all because of the actors' good performances, but once they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is not easy to change, and it is even more difficult for people to accept other images of him.

Thinking back to when Lin Man first debuted, he was also arranged by the company to play a villain role. Lin Man still remembers that after he went to the crew, he was changed by the producer on the spot, but he didn't act.Later, Lin Man gradually gained popularity and developed his own style, and Tony never took over the role.

Lin Man never thought that he would play a villain role.

Lin Man thought that Tang Simei said before that he was short of a representative work, a representative role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but Lin Man never thought that the first work recommended by Tang Simei would actually let him play a villain. Is there a problem with this? ah?

Lin Man checked the production company behind the show, and looked at the producers, most of them are well-known in the industry.So what is certain is that the production foundation of the TV series is very good, so there is no need to worry about its quality. Leaving aside the role factor, even Lin Man himself would choose it.He remembered that Tang Simei said that the producer of this Xianxia drama named Lin Man to play the villain role, so it is quite suitable for Lin Man.

Lin Man thought that Tang Simei's recommendation would be swearing, but these few conditions alone might not be enough.

He calmed down and thought about whether he really needed to challenge this villain role. If he refused, was he sure what role he wanted to play in the future?

This problem has become a problem left over from history. He and Tony have never discussed the issue of style before. At first, he thought that as long as there is a role that he can play, it turns out that he can choose one of the many film contracts that he can grasp, or To play a role that has no impact on his work, and then let Tony talk about what route to take, really no.

He couldn't think of an answer, and didn't want to waste any more time, so he simply trusted Tang Simei once and opened the script of this fairy tale drama.

Thus, Lin Man realized that he was wrong, this character was not simply a villain.

The script develops from the perspective of the protagonist, and naturally puts the role of "Pei Yuan" on the opposite side, but when Lin Man reads the plot of "Pei Yuan", from the perspective of "Pei Yuan", he finds that "Pei Yuan" is a pitiful people.

Pei Yuan is an elder of a certain sect in the world of cultivating immortals. He is the most trusted junior brother of the sect leader and the senior uncle that all the disciples look forward to.He left the sect because of a mission, but when he came back, he found that the sect was framed for cultivating immortals in an evil way.Pei Yuan knew that this matter was clearly framed and persecuted by someone, everyone was blinded, and the truth was deliberately covered up, so he disappeared, hid in the dark, and investigated this matter everywhere.

And Pei Yuan's character in the play is even more fresh and refined. He is handsome in appearance, has excellent character, and his reputation is well-known in the world of cultivating immortals. Some people regretted that he was involved in it. If such an incident did not happen to the sect, he must have a bright future.

Lin Man was attracted and fascinated after reading the script. He even started to think about how to play such a role himself.

When Lin Man came back to his senses, he finally understood why Tang Simei was the first to recommend this role.

Even in his own eyes, he thought it was too charming!

In the background of the story set by the characters, Pei Yuan was originally a character who fascinated everyone.His ability is higher than that of the head of the sect, but because he started later than the head of the sect, he is a junior, so he can only take the position of elder.Even so, Pei Yuan is still willing to help the head of the sect, making the sect one of the best sects in their world of cultivating immortals.However, something happened to the sect, Pei Yuan had to let go of his gentle and courteous appearance, and became ruthless.Bearing the life of the entire sect on his back, he must investigate the truth of the accident so that the sect can be rehabilitated.

And the protagonist in the story was entrusted by the head of the sect, on the surface, to participate in the exchange meeting once every 100 years, but secretly asked him to investigate the truth about the sect being exterminated.

Pei Yuan is the protagonist's first friend who is not from the same family, and the protagonist confides in him.But halfway through the story, Pei Yuan's identity is exposed, the protagonist hates Pei Yuan, and even kills Pei Yuan.And Pei Yuan, in order to investigate the truth, even though he was suspected and hated by thousands of people, he never laid hands on any innocent person, even if the protagonist stood in his way again and again, he could still think of his previous friendship and be merciful to him .

Such a role is good, bad, and quite contradictory.If the performance is not good, in the eyes of the audience, he is simply a shameless person, duplicity, obviously bad, and innocent.But if you want to show his ruthlessness, but also show his pitifulness, this is quite a test of an actor's ability.

Only now did Lin Man somewhat understand why Tang Simei strongly recommended this fairy tale drama.

Even without mentioning the characters, Lin Man was full of praise for the content alone.

Although this fairy-tale drama still takes the route of love, the background of the story is majestic and the plot is exciting. tail.Instead, it stood out from a bunch of short scripts written by mother-in-law and mother-in-law and attracted attention.

To use a sentence on the Internet, this plot is too poisonous.

After reading the script, his original thought of refusing to play the villain disappeared, and he actually had the urge to nod in agreement.

But ask yourself, Lin Man thinks he can really play this role well?

Lin Man checked the screenwriter list of the script again, and saw that it was adapted from an online novel on the first line. He knew that IP dramas are popular now, but he has been rubbing shoulders with such TV dramas.

Lin Man searched the Internet and found that the last work of this online novel author stopped three years ago, and this is the only work of the author that has been adapted into a TV series.

Lin Man saw that the novel was still being published as a physical book, so he ordered a copy.

For a few days, Lin Man didn't do other things, so he just read novels.

Lin Man was mesmerized by this fairy-tale novel "Living to the Nine Heavens". Although he had read the script before and was basically exposed by the plot, it didn't affect his obsession with it, so Sun Jingnan got off work these days. When I came back, I saw him sitting in the study reading a book.

Moreover, Lin Man discovered that there are actually two protagonists in this novel, and this Pei Yuan is also the protagonist, unlike the male protagonist who came out of a famous and decent family. In the whole story, Pei Yuan can only hide in the shadows, bear the blood and deep hatred, but also not forget the basic principles, and not go crazy.

What touched Lin Man was that at the end of the story, the whole world of cultivating immortals gave Pei Yuan and the sect the truth, even the protagonist stood up to speak for Pei Yuan, hoping that everyone would not pursue Pei Yuan anymore, but Pei Yuan still decided to kill himself To give an explanation to those who lost their lives because of him, Lin Man fell in love with the role of Pei Yuan because of such a man of integrity.

After much deliberation, Lin Man finally decided to join the crew of "Living to the Nine Heavens" and play the role of Pei Yuan.

He was the first to tell Sun Jingnan that he wanted to hear the opinion of the team director.

Hearing what he said, Sun Jingnan said, "Have you really thought about it? This character almost took the blame for the entire TV series. Everyone thinks that Pei Yuan is the real villain?"

Lin Man nodded, "Well, after thinking about it, it seems that the difficulty is relatively large, but Tang Simei recommends it so much, there is no reason not to believe her."

Sun Jingnan pushed away the laptop and walked over. He clasped his hands like an old god, and said to Lin Man, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will fully support you."

"Okay." Lin Man smiled with downcast eyes.

Sun Jingnan came up and hugged Lin Man, "Actually, I'll tell you the truth, I've read all the scripts, and from my heart, I hope you will play the protagonist of this drama, but the protagonist is one of the producers of this drama. The Shengsong Company decided to play the role of actor Zhao Yujing, which they highly favored, so there is no other way. I also found out that Shengsong Company has a strong background and was established by several companies engaged in the information technology industry, so there is no need to worry about funds. This TV series has already been rumored in the industry to be the annual drama of the year, and I really want you to get involved in it."

"You know all this? You didn't tell me before? What if I didn't choose to make this TV series before?" Lin Man looked at Sun Jingnan.

"Then I won't tell you so much!" Sun Jingnan laughed, "The important thing is to let you choose, no matter which TV series you choose, I will support you. Let me tell you, before Tang Simei watched When I read the script, I also watched it together. In terms of the plot, this "Living to the Nine Heavens" must be excellent, and the others are of course good, but they can't compare to this one."

Lin Man raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

Sun Jingnan said: "Of course, when have I lied to you! Whether it is in the selection of TV dramas or other aspects, the important thing is you. As long as you like it, it is the best. If you don't like it , then we will give you professional advice. We are your team and serve you, and everything must be centered on you!"

What Lin Man said made Lin Man feel more than comfortable, he was so happy that he almost raised his eyebrows. He also hugged Sun Jingnan tightly and said, "Then you have also investigated a lot of backgrounds in other TV dramas?"

"Yeah!" Sun Jingnan didn't think too much about it, and said it all at once, "Basically, I have investigated all the ones I have on hand now. If this work is really good, it will definitely attract many people to flock to it. To get a piece of the pie, there will always be profit-seeking people in the market, and everyone will not foolishly throw money down without asking anything. There are also two other works whose producers are bigger, but unfortunately the quality of the works is not as good as this one. It can only be regarded as a good candidate!"

Lin Man looked at Sun Jingnan, "But even if I had to choose, I couldn't pick every one of them, so wouldn't you be wasting your time after some effort?"

Sun Jingnan said: "This is normal! This is what our job is, we can't let you pick and choose out of thin air, we can't give you any advice! Then our team might as well disband on the spot! You forgot what I just said ? Our existence is to serve you! Manman! Hey you... why are you showing this expression again..."

Lin Man looked up, of course he looked grateful, the company would not do so many things for him before.Now he still has a team, even if he knows that this is an obligation and should be done for him, Lin Man can't take it for granted right away and feel at ease.

Lin Man quickly adjusted his mood, smiled at Sun Jingnan, and said, "Okay, I'm really touched!"

Sun Jingnan also knew that it was impossible for Lin Man to adapt immediately, but he regretted that he should not discuss business at home.

Yue Mo Linman also felt that it seemed a bit bad to talk about business at home, so he changed the subject.

Lin Man vaguely felt that this relaxing time seemed to be running out, especially after he got the role.

So he cherishes it very much.

Lin Man told Tang Simei about his decision to participate in "Let's Live Up to the Nine Heavens". After Tang Simei said "I really knew you would agree to act", she ran to contact the crew.

Originally, Lin Man thought that the other party would hesitate a bit more, but who knew that the film crew made a decision on the spot, without even haggling over the film salary, and Tang Simei was very satisfied with the price offered, and signed the contract on the spot.

So Lin Man became the second directly confirmed actor of this TV series.

It's just that this news can't be released yet, and we have to cooperate with the crew's publicity work, and do it bit by bit.

Next, Lin Man's work was not easy. The crew arranged for him and Zhao Yujing to participate in pre-shooting training, whether it was speaking lines or deportment, they had to undergo some training.Especially the lines.Although Xianxia dramas are not as good as ancient costume dramas, their speech is still polite, and it is impossible to jump out of contemporary vernacular or even Internet language.

This was also the first time Lin Man saw Zhao Yujing.

No matter which company in the industry, they will sign actors every year, and they will also promote actors every year. If the effect is not good, they will be frozen immediately.

Lin Man has seen a lot of young actors like this, some of them are short-lived and never seen again, which is the ending that no actor wants to see.

However, when he saw Zhao Yujing, he felt that this young man would definitely not become one of the many short-lived epiphyllums.

The entertainment circle looks at appearances, but it also depends on strength, and more importantly, it depends on the person's attitude.

On the day of the training, Zhao Yujing arrived at the training venue early and stood at the door waiting for him to come.It is true that Zhao Yujing is a newcomer, and he has already been spotted by many advertisers when he first emerged, which shows that his quality is good enough.But his attitude towards others is very humble and treats everyone equally.

In the past year, Lin Man has seen many newcomers treat him respectfully, but turn his head to treat others with an air of aloofness.But Zhao Yujing was the complete opposite, and it wasn't just a show. During the days when they were training together, Zhao Yujing's attitude hadn't changed.

Lin Man felt that this Zhao Yujing would definitely be popular.

When he went back and told Sun Jingnan about this, Sun Jingnan was rather jealous.

Recently, due to work, Sun Jingnan came back very late every day. Sometimes Lin Man asked him to simply stay in the company to rest, and come back in the morning to change clothes, so as not to drive tiredly in the middle of the night.

But no matter what time Sun Jingnan was busy at night, he would rush back, and he couldn't be shaken.

On the day he met Zhao Yujing, Sun Jingnan came back quite early, and brought Lin Man a supper along the way—blood glutinous rice, red bean porridge and rose cake. He said he passed by a so-called internet celebrity supper shop and brought them back along the way.

Lin Man praised Zhao Yujing while eating red bean porridge.

Sitting opposite him, Sun Jingnan said sourly, "Actually, I was an actor last year, and I should also sign a management contract with Tang Simei, and then get a role in this TV series. I think you'll be the one who follows Pei Yuan." That's a great role!"

Hearing this, Lin Man almost sprayed the porridge on Sun Jingnan's face, "You mean the one who wants to repay Pei Yuan's life-saving grace and loyally pay for Pei Yuan's life? I remember that this character seems to be only 15 years old, right? ..."

Sun Jingnan quickly said: "Me! I just grew a little taller! Now some elementary school students can grow to 1.8 meters at the age of ten! Manman, don't you dislike me? Now I have only grown one year in the past year I am in good health!"

"I don't have such an idea!" Lin Man reached out and pinched Sun Jingnan's face, "You will always be in my heart."

Only then did Sun Jingnan proudly say: "That's right! Manman, you really understand me! Closer to home, I know that Zhao Yujing. His mother used to be a famous singer in China, and she came out to perform with a domestic band a few years ago. It's not surprising to have such a son. It's just that the Zhao family doesn't get involved in his son's entertainment business, so no matter how many connections the Zhao family has, it won't affect the final results of the show."

"Hmm..." Lin Man nodded while holding the spoon, "It means that this family is very fair."

"That's why you praise him so much!" Sun Jingnan said.

Lin Man laughed, "I'll act opposite him later, can you still come to visit the set for me? When the time comes, there will be a smell of jealousy in the studio, so you won't be allowed to film the movie!"

But Sun Jingnan said, "Come on! Why don't you come, as long as I can come, I will definitely come! The smell of vinegar? What kind of vinegar smell! There is no such thing! Manman, you are going to work, why should I be jealous? We used to shoot together It's been a show! How could I be jealous!"

Lin Man smiled happily, his eyes and eyebrows were bent like the mysterious moon in the sky, "Okay, I can wait for you on the set!"

Sun Jingnan was coaxed into laughing out loud, "Ha, then I must go!"

Lin Man finished his supper happily.

Having said that, Lin Man also knew how busy Sun Jingnan was at work.

When they were actors in the past, they just finished the assigned work, and the rest of the time was vacations, and sometimes they even managed to find some time to relax during working hours.Now Sun Jingnan is bound by work from [-] to [-], working overtime at night is even more common, and the work and rest time are completely out of sync with Lin Man.In the future, he may have to face more situations like this.

It would be fine for Lin Man to go to work by himself, but Sun Jingnan would not be able to accompany Lin Man when he was free, and Lin Man might not be able to see Sun Jingnan every day. This kind of love is even more bitter than long-distance love.

Lin Man knew that he was ready, and secretly wondered whether he could really stand the pain of lovesickness.

The work of the crew is going smoothly, the remaining roles are basically finalized, and the promotion work is getting better.

However, the degree of discussion on this TV series on the Internet has exceeded the expectations of many people, including the crew.

"Living to the Nine Heavens" is an IP work, the original work itself has a huge readership, and readers' love for the character will become picky about the actor who plays the role.

From the beginning of the crew's promotion of the roles, the actors of each role have to be judged, but many readers are still very sensible, saying that they will continue to wait and see and support.

But when the official announcement revealed that Lin Man would play Pei Yuan, the direction of the comments suddenly changed.

Some readers said that for such a profound role as Pei Yuan, no one might be able to play it well, whether Lin Man can do it or not.

Some readers also said that although Lin Man is an actor, none of the roles he has played in the past is similar to Pei Yuan's style. Can he handle it?

Lin Man just read some comments and almost wavered in himself.

However, at this time, Sun Jingnan told him, "You must not believe those comments. The information from the public relations company said that these comments are mixed with trolls! They are deliberately trying to disturb people's hearts! Moreover, it seems to be Huanying The navy there!"
