Play bone

Excitement was nothing but excitement, but Lu Li soon came to his senses - the so-called "specially find him to play the role" was just a trick played by Shen Xing.

The truth of the matter is that preparations for the movie "The Calyx of the Flowers" started three years ago.Although it was not until the beginning of November this year that the script project was approved and officially entered the actor selection process, several candidates for the leading role have already been hyped up on the Internet.

Perhaps, Lu Li is indeed suitable to play the role of Qin Shan'ai, and the crew also included him as an actor candidate.But the crew must have found Shen Xingxuan first.If Shen Xing chooses to agree to take over the role of Ming Chongyan, then finding Lu Li to play the role of Qin Shan'ai will bring many conveniences and benefits.

It seems that the eyes of veterans in the entertainment industry are always discerning.Even though Lu Li has never decided on his intention to sign a contract after graduation, many people can see that his relationship with Juxing is extraordinary, almost equivalent to a de facto marriage, only a thin piece of paper is missing.

So far, there is really no need to worry about whether the chicken or the egg came first.

When the first snow melted in the capital and only a few puddles of gray-white frozen ice remained in the flower beds by the roadside, Lu Li's palms were also unstitched.Picking a sunny day, he and Shen Xingze met with the director and producer together.

The content of the contract, of course, is negotiated by the legal professionals behind each; in this meeting, the two parties did not discuss money but only creative issues.But even so, Lu Li still had a premonition that there would be subtle embarrassment.

As for the reason, it is also very simple - although it has not been disclosed to the public, Shen's Films plans to invest in 35 new films next year, which is nearly double the actual investment in new films this year.Among them, the one with the highest investment is this "Huacalyx Xianghui".

Of course, the Shen family is far more than the producer of this drama, but as the saying goes, "Take advantage of other people's hands", and it is human nature for the director to lose face when Jin plays the main role.

Fortunately, the chief directors of this film, Meng Baijin and Shen Xingze, are close friends who have worked together before, and their tempers are very similar—they are the kind of people who, once they enter the working mode, will be in a state of darkness.

The four of them made an appointment to meet at Meng Baijin's villa. Lu Li had just greeted the producer Lu Dejian. Looking at the other side, Shen Xingze and Meng Baijin had already taken out their glasses and sat down to study. script.

From character modeling to dialogue design, and even the use of individual shots.Meng Baijin has no reservations about Shen Xingze, and he can openly discuss everything with him.Shen Xingxuan was also outspoken to this old friend, and showed him the densely packed annotations he had made when he opened the script.Of course, there will always be disagreements, and they're so frequent that petty arguments erupt every few minutes.

Whenever this happens, the other two will inevitably be affected - the producer Lu Dejian is often forced to act as a mediator, and Lu Li will always be caught by Shen Xingze as an interim judge.

Maybe subconsciously, Shen Xing chose to hope that Lu Li would favor him; but Lu Li was in the same line as him, and he was also a fool who was serious about helping his relatives.As a result, many small-scale disputes quickly expanded into wars between the Three Kingdoms, and finally even the producers rolled up their sleeves and joined the battle.All kinds of ideas and viewpoints collided fiercely. While the smoke was filled, all kinds of strange and brilliant sparks of inspiration inevitably burst out.

Facts have proved that this brainstorming did reveal a lot of problems.Although this old boy Meng Baijin was blushing from fighting with Shen Xing, he was extremely happy and satisfied in his heart.

Ever since, a simple meeting started from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm in one go. When I was hungry, I ate a bowl of instant noodles and continued grinding.As a result, the next day, Meng Baijin actually made an appointment with the screenwriter and director of photography to continue researching.When the chat got to a happy place, the art team and outreach producers who were already on location were connected by video to expand the discussion.

Of course, this two-day small-scale creative meeting has achieved fruitful results.The participants agreed that they will keep in touch with each other on a small scale in the near future and meet regularly.

When parting, Meng Baijin deliberately patted Shen Xingze on the shoulder: "The chat was very pleasant. But to be honest, I haven't decided whether to use you two boys or not."

"Although go to the audition, try a more suitable one, I quit."

Shen Xingze replied without hesitation: "However, Lu Li agrees with you. In my opinion, the role of Qin Shan'ai should belong to him."

"Hey, I said, don't make the decision for me."

Lu Li knew that everyone present could afford a joke, so he deliberately exaggerated: "If you don't act, then I won't act either."

Meng Baijin was more polite to Lu Li yesterday, but today he is much more familiar with him, so of course he won't let him go.

"I said, little comrade, you don't have a big wrist, but your tone is not small."

"I'm used to it."

Shen Xingze interrupted abruptly, almost stopping Lu Li's heart.But he immediately made another 180-degree turn - "Senior brother of China Film Group, just cover the younger brother like this."

As soon as these words came out, the screenwriters and directors of photography at the side immediately started booing, and Meng Baijin even blew his beard and stared.

"Hey, why is China Film Film so great? Don't all the actors in China Film Film have to listen to me, the big brother of the Peking Opera director department?"

The grievances between colleges and universities are really the eternal focus of saliva.Seeing that China Film Group is about to "start a war" with Beijing Opera, only the only non-student-trained producer worked hard to smooth things over.

"Let me tell you guys, are you outrageous? Be careful that there are ears in the wall, and you will all poke them on the Internet in the future. Well, I even thought about the title, so I called it "The Flower Calyx". Fire, the director and the heroine had internal strife late at night."

The screenwriter also laughed: "Old Meng filming, if you don't hate people, it's not normal."

The old men made noise for a while, until the dogs who came out for a walk in the dark began to bark at them, and then they returned to their heart's content.

Lu Li came here in a car driven by Shen Xingze himself, and now the two of them went to the parking lot to pick up the car.

The sky is already dark, and the northwest wind has been tightening recently, blowing out an unexpectedly clear night sky.The starry sky triangle and Orion's star belt shine brightly above their heads.

"It's true that every crew has the temperament of every crew."

Lu Li looked up at the sky, but his thoughts were obviously still stuck in the hot discussion atmosphere just now.

Shen Xing chose "Oh", "What does this group smell like?"

"Spicy."

Lu Li took a deep breath, as if the air was filled with a strong peppery aroma.

"I'm looking forward to it. With such a hot crew, how can we shoot the grandeur and mystery of the prosperous Tang Dynasty at the same time."

"I think you want to eat hot pot." Shen Xing chose to push his back: "Go, please."

Just go, anyway, it's not surprising that two big men go out for a meal.Lu Li reported the name of a restaurant, and the two got into the car immediately.

The vehicle turned two corners and drove out of the community. There was not much traffic on the suburban roads.Street lights and traffic lights are strung together like lights on a Christmas tree.

After confirming that there was no suspicious vehicle behind, Lu Li suddenly complained in a low voice.

"...What you said just now was too bold, almost like a verbal exhibitionist."

"About me? Don't you cooperate very actively?"

Shen Xingze stared straight ahead, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "We are not Belikov, why do we always put ourselves in a cover."

"But we were all afraid of becoming Samsa."

Lu Li replied softly: "Even if you can't form a blessed public relationship like ordinary men and women, I believe that there is another stronger connection between you and me. It allows me to stand side by side with you forever. Beside."

------

A week later, Meng Baijin took the initiative to contact Lu Li and called him to the preparatory team for an audition.

Lu Li rushed over directly from the school. When he got there, he found that Shen Xingze had come earlier than him. He was already dressed and trying on makeup.

Lu Li leaned over with a smile, and looked at Shen Xingxuan's appearance in the mirror: wearing a black gauze soft-footed headband, wearing a plain Taoist robe, and a crane cloak - at first glance, it looks plain and unremarkable.But if you get close, look carefully: the crane cloak made of tulle is covered with silver thread to show the crane's wings, and the strands and strands are clearly visible.The crane crosses its neck behind the collar of the gauze cloak, and wraps its head around the skirt on the other side.The red tops are as red as the sun, and they hold a tie made of silk ribbons, pearls and jasper in their mouths.

There is a hint of luxury in the immortal demeanor—perhaps to hint at the delicate relationship between Ming Chongyan and Li Tang's royal family.However, Lu Li's eyes lighted up. He felt that such a Shen Xingxuan lacked a bit of sharpness and was a little more refined and gentle. He was full of indescribable liking.

He was thinking about taking a few photos secretly with his mobile phone, when Shen Xingze glanced at him through the makeup mirror.

"What kind of foreign work are you still doing here?"

After being reminded by him, Lu Li just remembered his own affairs, and hurriedly followed the makeup assistant to meet the stylist.

The character of Qin Shanai is of mixed Tang and Japanese origin, and her age is set to be five years younger than Ming Chongyan.Therefore, these two points are highlighted everywhere in the shape.

The common Futou in the Tang Dynasty was replaced by a tall and pointed beard hat, somewhat similar to the black hat in the Heian period.The clothes are also in the style of Hufu, with a chic large turn-up neckline and a leather belt around the waist. The overall look is full of heroism.The make-up artist designed the makeup for Lu Li, with slender eyebrows and bright red eyes, and the color of the lips is also appropriately rosy and bloody.The overall look is handsome with a touch of spirituality, and a bit of fox-like ecstasy.

After tidying up, Meng Baijin and others came to check and accept.First, take pictures, record videos, and then start auditioning.

What Meng Baijin chose in advance was a debate scene.Both Ming Chongyan and Qin Shanai have a lot of dialogue and actions, which test their lines, performances and even memory.

The shooting site is relatively open, so two cameras were set up, each responsible for capturing the two actors standing face to face.After the filming started, the two instantly entered the state of being both enemies and friends.The 4-minute rivalry scene, including the positions of each other's testing, and the dialogue with the implicated front, are all shot to the end.The quality of the final completion was so high that even Meng Baijin nodded in satisfaction, and jokingly asked how long the two of them had practiced in private.

Immediately after the audition, people from the clothing team came over to make fine-tuning marks on their costumes and headgear, and then took them off for processing and modification.The people in the special effects team immediately filled their positions and began to communicate about the problems of taking models for special effects.

In fact, taking the model is a very clear signal—from this day on, the two roles of Ming Chongyan and Qin Shan'ai are officially finalized.Sure enough, a few days later, Lu Li received a formal signing notice.

The official launch of "Flowering Calyx" is scheduled for mid-February next year, and the shooting period will be four months.Calculating in this way, it is a coincidence that it just caught up with China Film Group's graduation season after the finale.

After counting the days with his fingers, Lu Li suddenly realized that time flies so fast.

The author has something to say: Belikov - the male protagonist of "The Man in the Cover", a man as timid as a mouse who hides himself in a cover.

Samsa——The hero of "Metamorphosis", a respected and decent person, suddenly lost his human form and turned into a beetle, was discriminated against by his family and friends, and died tragically.
