pure white crown

Jiang Xing hung up the phone.

In the phone call just now, after Chen Liang learned of this opportunity, he immediately expressed that he would take the fastest plane to fly to the UK to perform his duties as a manager and help Jiang Xing choose scripts and negotiate a contract.

It's daytime here in England, and the drama "Prince Iante" is being performed in the theater by another group of people. Everyone who played the role the night before got a day off, including Jiang Xing of course.

It can be seen from this that if you are on a regular basis in drama, generally speaking, you will have a healthier schedule than when you are filming.

In the villa in the suburbs, Jiang Xing, who had just hung up the phone, turned his eyes to Lu Yunkai who was sitting next to him.

Lu Yunkai is currently wearing a loose sportswear, his face has not been washed, his teeth have not been brushed, he looks like a rough man, drinking milk while holding the script and looking at it with relish, and commenting to Jiang Xing while reading: "I I think this is very interesting-I think he is the second male lead when I look at it, and the story happened to an MI5 veteran and a small town, um... Chinese."

"This town looks ordinary at first glance, just like an ordinary town. This is the hometown of a veteran of MI5. He came back to retire."

"Then on the first day he came back, he came to his original address and found a thief in the house without opening the door..."

"I'm on stage." Jiang Xing interjected from the side.

"That's right, you're here, and you've set up the house as—well, a base for anti-terrorism? When entering the house through the door, the male protagonist encountered all kinds of exquisite traps—wow, you know what I thought What is it! "Home Alone" was popular all over the world N years ago!" Lu Yunkai was more excited than reading his own script!

"The difference is too much." Jiang Xing laughed.

"Well, that's not the point. In short, let's look at your appearance in the first act." Lu Yunkai turned over a page of the script, and he read the lines above, "Indoor. On the corridor. Wei appeared with a hand crossbow, The arrow pointed at the male protagonist who just rolled over from the ground. He said coldly: GET, OUT, NOW."

He closed the script with a snap, and said, "That's the beginning, and then you all find out that you've all been tricked by the landlord, um... because you added 'from my house' afterwards, and then the man The Lord said angrily 'it belongs only to the father and me!'”

"But the point is not this..."

"The point is this!"

The two words sounded almost at the same time.

Jiang Xing was the one who said "the point is not this". Lu Yunkai accepted the last sentence, and then the two looked at each other. Lu Yunkai raised a finger: "Character! One of the three major points of the script!"

"...Okay." Jiang Xing said helplessly, "Let's take a look at the background of the script."

Lu Yunkai stopped joking, and the two began to seriously study the background of this mini-series.

The tentative title of this mini-series is "Under the Lake", which consists of three episodes and is adapted and remade from the past classic "Reflection on the River Bank".

This masterpiece is a suspenseful science fiction masterpiece. The story tells that a seemingly peaceful town has always been troubled by some mysterious force. Since 1972, every ten years, a townsman here will either disappear or disappear. die.

These dead and missing people, without exception, are all related to a lake in the east of this town.

The protagonist, who experienced his father's disappearance when he was young, returned to the small town where he lived since he was a child after retiring from MI5. The year he came back happened to be the year when someone would be selected by the "mysterious force".

The male protagonist who returned after many years soon found out that something was wrong in the town. As his investigation deepened, he even discovered his father who had been missing for 20 years...and that was in another world!

The script of the mini-series was preliminarily determined to be fine. Director Wolfe was indeed very generous, and directly gave a role as the lead actor. There was no exaggeration in the chat last night.

Lu Yunkai and Jiang Xing put this script aside first, and they picked up another movie script—speaking of this, it was really a very coincidental thing, they chatted with Wolff in the coffee shop yesterday When talking about the issue of the script, one of the directors of Jiang Xing's crew, Mr. Huo Qia, walked into the coffee shop where they were together with another person.

Seeing the boss of the crew, Jiang Xing would of course stand up and say hello. This greeting directly attracted the eyes of the two people who came in, and then... Stephen next to Hosea and Wolfe who was sitting with them They are actually old acquaintances, they called out each other's identity as soon as they saw each other, and that Stephen also bluntly expressed his interest in Jiang Xing, and then stuffed a script for Jiang Xing in front of Wolff... To be honest, when Jiang Xing looked at Wolfe sitting opposite him, he felt that the other party's face turned blue...

"Obviously, the fragrance of the flowers is not good. Let's see how many people compete for it." When he said this, Chen Liang had already flown out of the country on the fastest flight.

He flipped through the two scripts in front of him and asked Jiang Xing, "Which one do you like better?"

Jiang Xing flipped through the movie script that Stephen had brought over in his hand.The script of this movie is a detective drama, which is also adapted from a famous book—of course not the one that the world is familiar with.In the movie, Jiang Xing, as a criminal with a high IQ, was originally imprisoned in the national prison, but because of a conspiracy that endangered the whole of Britain, these criminals who had special skills and had contact with a certain "plan" were released, together with Together, the detectives try to derail this unimaginable state conspiracy.

Blockbusters like movies are not the same as mini-series, they don’t use Chinese as the second leading role, but this high-intelligence criminal also plays a lot of roles, and can be regarded as one of the key leading characters. From this point of view, these two British directors are the ones who value Jiang Xing very much. If it wasn't for the collision of schedules, Chen Liang actually wanted to suggest that Jiang Xing give both of them to the next one. After all, he just arrived in the UK, and there must be a burst of works as possible. During the start-up period... Lu Yunkai is a special case, so let's not mention him.

Chen Liang flipped through two more books, and then said: "My personal suggestion... I prefer movies, because movies will be shown in theaters, and this is considered a British blockbuster, and it will definitely be introduced in China. Although you have developed abroad , but the domestic popularity cannot be lost, acting in movies is a relatively time-saving way to gather popularity-you go to the road where the works speak, it is best to have a fixed blockbuster released at a fixed time." He said At this point, he couldn't help but cast a glance at Lu Yunkai, thinking that Lu Yunkai had completely embarked on a life of relying on hype and not worrying about eating and drinking. This could be regarded as... an unexpected good thing.

"I think the mini-series is better." Lu Yunkai interrupted at this time.

"Oh, the reason?" No matter whether it is Chen Liang or Jiang Xing, they must pay enough attention to the suggestion of a king of movie kings!

But who is Lu Yunkai, he said calmly, "The script is pleasing to the eye! Do we need other reasons?"

As expected.Jiang Xing thought.He's okay, anyway, he already knew Lu Yunkai's character, and almost knew what Lu Yunkai was going to say when Lu Yunkai just spoke.

And Chen Liang: "..."

Chen Liang: "That's how you used to take films?"

"Otherwise?" Lu Yunkai asked back.

It's a good thing you're not my artist... Chen Liang felt a little bit lucky before he knew it. He ignored Lu Yunkai's opinion at this moment, and then turned his attention to Jiang Xing, asking what the Lord meant.

Jiang Xing had been thinking about these two scripts for a while.As mentioned above, each has its own advantages, and judging from the script, he doesn't have a particular preference, so he said now: "Both scripts are fine, let's look at other aspects."

Other aspects are of course remuneration and publicity issues.Chen Liang understood, and went out to meet the two directors face to face.

I don't know how this agent works. A few days later, just a few days before the performance of "Prince Iant", the director of "Under the Lake" Wolf began to come to the door Visiting Jiang Xing is here!

The first time he received a call from Wolfe and heard that the other party was going to visit him, Jiang Xing was actually quite surprised.

He quickly agreed, and then asked Wolff if he would come to his place for dinner, and if so, he would prepare a table of delicious food for him.

As an Englishman, Wolfe is very confident about British food. When he heard that Jiang Xing was going to prepare the meal, he agreed happily, and then said that he is a British foodie, and he can take Jiang Xing to eat real food in the future. gourmet food.

Jiang Xing calmly said that there is no problem.

That night, Wolf came to visit with a small gift, and then tasted the dinner prepared by Jiang Xing... After that, "tasting real food in the future", it ended without a problem.

But these are just a blip.

Wolf's visit was mainly to discuss with Jiang Xing about the script and characters.

"Jiang, you have already read the script, and you can see that the character Wei you played is literally one of the soul characters in the play. Besides the male lead, your role is the most important."

"It can be said that I am very optimistic about you. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the characters in the original book are Chinese, and the choice is relatively small-but you must know that in foreign countries, our country does not care about replacing Chinese with British. I will care about replacing the part of the native with a Chinese actor."

"I am under pressure to choose a Chinese American as one of the leading actors."

"But because you're exactly the actor I want—"

"Let's talk about the character." Wolfe said, "What do you think of the character of Wei? Don't talk about it from the level of character setting, let's talk about the soul of the character-talk about the soul of this character in my opinion, It fits well with your acting skills."
