pure white crown

Chen Liang sat in the office and watched the films Jiang Xing picked out.

He shook the script on his hand, and counted it again from beginning to end: one, two, three, four, five.

That's right, there are five scripts in total.

The role spans from male second to male third, fourth, and fifth. There are costume dramas, modern dramas, and of course there are big productions, but there are not no small-budget ones.

He said in a joking tone: "If you are short of money recently, I will contact you with two more advertisements or go out of your way?"

"If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, there is no need for money." Jiang Xing also said in a tone of 'it's okay, don't be kidding'.

"Well—" Chen Liang lowered his head, "Then what's your idea of ​​continuing so many dramas?"

"A little bit of exercise." Jiang Xing explained, "My shooting speed was already very slow before, and the speed of entering and leaving the character state was also slow. This is not a good phenomenon. This book and this one One--"

Jiang Xing brought over the five scripts in Chen Liang's hands. He was too familiar with these scripts, so he picked out two of them as soon as he got them: "These two characters, one is modern and the other is ancient costume. , the modern ones are middle-aged people who are down and out and lose their drive; the ones in ancient costumes are young people with high spirits and the second generation of chivalrous men who are the first in the world. The schedules of these two are about the same, and they are both scenes that can be solved in half a month. Let's do it first A comparison."

"The second comparison: the themes and characters this time are relatively similar. Generally speaking, they are all characters with a firm belief, but one is on the decent side and the other is on the villain's side. Regarding their respective careers What happens when the firmness collides with the outside world—it’s interesting, isn’t it?”

Chen Liang nodded his head as a sign of approval.

"And the last one." Jiang Xing said, "The last film..."

Jiang Xing took out the last notebook left in his hand.

Great director, big production, comedic effects with grand fight scenes and martial arts special effects.

In Jiang Xing's memory, the box office of this film was absolutely good.

Therefore, when Jiang Xing saw this book from Chen Liang, he was totally surprised: Although he had a general memory of various movies released in his previous life, but to be honest, when TV movies were released, they were more popular than popular. It's much easier. In those countless popular movies, most of the popular roles are actually like Lu Yunkai, who is very capable and has a face that attracts fans. Coupled with the director's talent and the company's praise, In order to rise with such a sweeping momentum; popular films... can cut off roles, but the director's strength, channels and investment are also essential. Generally speaking, only one "channel and investment" is enough, and everyone is not Blind man, it is impossible to just wait for you to pick up the leak.

Jiang Xing also thought about choosing a very valuable script among many scripts at the beginning.

But at the beginning, 0021 appeared, and "Wu Zi Jing" was a very popular film, and after a while, I couldn't find anything special to remember, so I didn't think about it; I quickly discovered that his road after rebirth has been smooth, and there are many opportunities within his ability.

A large part of the garbage scripts are screened out by the company first.

With big directors and big productions, the company will definitely not be able to win the starring role, but it is not impossible to win all the male third and fourth male actors.

Within the scope of his ability, the films that can be freely selected are better than the market's predictions after they are released. Not to mention that they can be caught [-]% of the time, at least [-]% to [-]% are caught.

Coupled with the fact that 0021 popped up from time to time to check his presence, Jiang Xing quickly corrected his attitude.

Even if you know most of the box office all over again, you don't need to think about which movies can take shortcuts and become popular.

His most fundamental problem is not lack of luck, but lack of strength.

And now, the title of the movie that has not been decided yet——

Jiang Xing was a little unbelievable: "The lead actor in this movie..."

"how?"

"Is it really for me to act like this? Don't need to compete for something?" He spoke in an 'impossible' tone, "This kind of crew and this role should be snatched by everyone anyway. head?"

Chen Liang smiled like a full-fledged fox, especially cunning: "Do you really think your previous efforts were in vain?"

"Ok?"

"The films you star in have never exceeded the expected shooting period, have they?"

"Ah."

"A lot of directors say that once you start filming, you are in good shape, right?"

"Almost." Jiang Xing was modest.His acting skills are still a long way from the real cutting-edge, which needs to be looked at directly; but when his acting skills are good enough to handle the role, he is definitely in the best state among actors of the same level— — This also needs to be acknowledged.

Chen Liang smiled.

"Everything needs money now. The production team saves money here and there, just to reduce the cost. Before you made a TV series with a low salary, it didn't show much. When you want to make a movie, you save time. Actors The salary here is lower, and the budget over there is also saved ahead of time, let’s say less than 30 to [-] yuan, and it’s not impossible to make it higher.”

"Nowadays there are so many and complicated channels for news. It's not easy for a crew to cover up the news, but it's not easy to spread the news? You have a reputation for being 'dedicated'," he picked up the script on the table, and gently shook it in his hands. , "Let us receive at least one-fifth more scripts. In addition, the crew has recently been cheated by a big-name player, and now I hear that you are free, famous and powerful-oh, you The news about the scene with Liang Youbo last time was also spread - the book was sent."

But things can't all be good.

Chen Liang said again: "But you should have heard that this time the lead actor in this show is a bully. One male and two have to distinguish clearly, who is the master and who is the second'. And in terms of remuneration, you also suffer a bit... Although there are many roles, the remuneration is not much different from that of the previous "Return to People" crew. 65W, if you really have to calculate carefully and allocate the cost to time, you will lose a lot.”

"The level of pursuit is not that high for the time being, it's good to have some acting." Jiang Xing said with a casual smile.

"Well, let's act first. The opportunity is really good." Chen Liang nodded.

"Then let me see..." he said, "This movie won't start until two months later. The supporting roles in the few movies and TV shows you have taken on before, the earliest are Xi'an in "Promise" and "Snow in Qingcheng". There are not many scenes here, so it can be dealt with in half a month."

"The next one is "[-]XX" and "The Gun". These two parts have a little more scenes, especially "[-]XX"..."

When talking about this, Chen Liang looked at the comparison between the basic scripts again, but raised his eyes: "Do you like "[-] XX" more? This character—well, simple and honest, really, a fool... In addition, the whole drama is almost smoky and rolling in the mud, planning to change the screen image?"

"That's right, it's almost there." Jiang Xing said, "The "No Words" and "Su-style Biography" I performed before, plus "Returning Inn", although Guiren made a reversal, but these few works Essentially, the roles are all in the series of noble sons. The play is a bit limited."

Chen Liang didn't talk too much. After he realized that Jiang Xing had his own ideas and persistence when accepting films, he rarely raised too many opinions or forced the other party to accept films.

He continued: ""[-]XX" and "The Gun", these two parts still have a lot of scenes. It is conservatively estimated that the total will take forty days... If you calculate it this way, you basically don't rest. I started to go to other places to shoot, can I switch over?"

Jiang Xing only answered Chen Liang's question with one sentence:

"It's just to exercise the ability to quickly switch between roles."

Without goingssip, Jiang Xing officially joined the crew of "The Promise" and "Snow in Qingcheng" after the last few days of rest and preparation.

Of course, the production team's requirement for the lead actor who is in charge of the film is to concentrate on acting in a play within a certain period of time, but for supporting actors, it is not so strict.

They will not necessarily be responsible for the accommodation expenses of less important characters, nor will they require supporting actors to finish filming all their scenes before leaving-some are filmed all at once, and some are scattered at specific times of the day. Actors can discuss with the crew through the company, and it will be confirmed before the contract is signed.

In the previous four plays, Jiang Xing was training his ability to switch roles quickly.So we always shoot in pairs.

When shooting "Promise" and "Snow in Qingcheng", "Promise" was in the morning, and "Snow in Qingcheng" was in the afternoon.

When filming "[-]XX" and "Gunshot", because the distance between the two crews was a bit far, "[-]XX" was on the odd number, and "Gunshot" was on the even number.

Generally speaking, shooting like this has a taste of challenging one's own limits.

Jiang Xing estimated the days in the next few months, and he also felt a slight pain and happiness...

"Promise" is a TV drama love story spanning an era.

The story tells the love process of a man and a woman from childhood to old age.

Childhood childhood sweethearts; one party's family undergoes major changes during youth, and the other party will never leave. In order to help the girl, the other party will overcome all difficulties to marry the girl; He joined the army and traveled far away; the girl took care of two families at home, waiting for her husband every month and every year, but after two years, there was no news of her husband; after five years, the army triumphed, and her husband became a death list The girl did not leave, and she never lived a married life, but she willingly took care of the man's parents, and tried every means to save money, just to go to the battlefield where her husband died in this era of scarcity. At this time, the captured man has escaped the control of the enemy, but at this time the husband, who is already in a foreign country whose relationship with the country has deteriorated, is also trying his best to go home...

"Snow in Qingcheng" is a commercial film born out of the original work of martial arts.

It is said to be a commercial film, but the original work of the film is good, and the adapted plot is also interesting.

It is a romantic martial arts drama, but it is not the classic model of the demon cult where the male is decent and the female is, but the female is the daughter of a famous martial arts legend, and the male is the little devil of the rivers and lakes.

But this little devil has another identity, which is precisely the nail that the imperial court breaks into the martial arts world.

Since ancient times, chivalry has used martial arts to violate the ban, and Confucianism has used literature to disrupt the law.

Surrounded by treacherous parties and powerful officials, the young emperor who worked hard to rule quickly eliminated the rebellious party and consolidated his ruling position with subtle scheming and stern methods.In the chaotic situation where a group of forces fell and another group of emerging forces came to power, the young emperor who purged the court had already set his sights on those disobedient people in the world and the reckless people.

A martial arts bloodbath that is destined to be vigorous but started in Weijie, when Gu Xue, the famous daughter of the heroine, and Xingtan Xiaodao, the heroine, meet at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, has begun to show...

As mentioned earlier, in "The Promise", Jiang Xing played a cowardly middle-aged man.

This cowardly middle-aged man is the father of the heroine in "The Promise".

He was born in a landlord family, and he was born to seven daughters before he got such a single seedling. Since he was a child, he was loved by the whole family, and he was afraid of being spoiled if he held it in his mouth. The habit of arrogance and arrogance, but cannot withstand setbacks, and cannot tolerate poverty.

I am used to living a rich life, and when I am approaching middle age and need status the most, but because my family is judged to be of bad status because of the birth of a landlord, this middle-aged man has experienced all his family property being confiscated overnight. The robbery was confiscated, I was dragged into the streets to show the public, my parents died one after another because of the blow, my sisters and their husband's family were all unlucky... and so on.

He thought about dying every night.

But at this time, the wife hugged the daughter who was crying for her father, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

He seems to have survived for his daughter and wife.

But in the later period, when the family was a little bit out of the misery, he quickly returned to the style of a master, and every time he had a little money, he went out to pretend to be a big money to save face. I can't wear a good one...

Come back again.

He didn't die back then, was it because of his wife and children, or was it just because he was pure, fearing both reality and the unknown and pain of death?

In "Snow in Qingcheng", Shi Shaofei played by Jiang Xing is the more positive one in terms of human nature.

He can be regarded as a typical young talent with a family background, and he admires Gu Xue, but because of his harsh personality, he is not very liked by Gu Xue.When Tan Xiaodao was born and had an affair with Gu Xue, because of jealousy and natural hostility towards the members of the Demon Sect, Shi Shaofei had unknowingly violated morality and used all available resources to kill the members of the Demon Sect. Yes, their methods gradually became more terrifying than those of the Demon Cult amid repeated bloodshed and violence.

In the name of justice, do the things of the devil.

But take it for granted.

Shi Shaofei finally died of course.

When a man becomes a devil, even if he claims to be righteous and does start with justice.

The results of what he did were by no means what he had imagined at the beginning.

The two roles in these two plays are not complicated for Jiang Xing now.

His challenge lies in how to perform the roles of the two plays in the direction of perfection in a short period of time.

And such a switch, to be honest, was a little more complicated than Jiang Xing expected.

Switching from morning to afternoon is much more exhausting than playing a role alone with the same intensity.

Switching between one morning and one afternoon of excellence is more than twice as exhausting as treating a single character with the same attitude of excellence.

At the beginning, Jiang Xing couldn't even accurately grasp the general direction of each character at once. For example, when he was playing Xi'an, he wanted to immerse himself too much, but he would unconsciously reveal the identity of Shi Shaofei. He is fierce and high-spirited, but when it comes to Shi Shaofei, the situation is often the opposite, and he will unconsciously reveal Xian's exhaustion and bewilderment.

Fortunately, because Jiang Xing had difficulty getting into the film, he always had more scrutiny on his own performance than those who were easy to get into the mood, so at this time, he would always switch back immediately to make up for the previous mistakes. I will also apologize to the actors and directors who played against me.

In fact, when it comes to this, Jiang Xing's requirements for himself are much higher than the director's requirements for the third and fourth actors.

A few times the director already felt "well, it's a supporting role anyway, so don't be too demanding", and when he was about to let this one go, Jiang Xing's apology had already arrived, and then the director thought, "Do you have higher demands on yourself?" , well, now there is plenty of time, let's keep improving..."

After a few times like this, Jiang Xing's progress is very obvious. Both scenes lasted for about 100 days. On the third day, Jiang Xing could no longer play tricks, and by the ninth day and the tenth day, he He is already relatively able to bring out his own acting skills. Of course, it is impossible to be [-]% and super-level. Firstly, the setting of the role is relatively weak. Not quite enough.

But at this time 80.00% not, [-]% definitely have.

Just like those crews who had worked with Jiang Xing before and always had a positive attitude towards Jiang Xing, now these two crews are also very satisfied with Jiang Xing's progress and seriousness.

How satisfied is this?

The screenwriter of "The Promise" even had a flash of inspiration, adding several more scenes to the heroine's father who didn't have many roles in the first place, and solidly deepened the character image that was still a bit vague.

I have to say here that the crew and the crew are different.

Because "Snow in Qingcheng" is adapted from the original work, the original work is already a very complete story, so on the script, from the beginning to the end of filming, there is basically no screenwriting.

But "Promise" is not, "Promise" is an original script, and its main screenwriter is an old man in the film and television industry. A three-four-five version can be produced with a large construction, and there are countless other small constructions.

Originally, the screenwriter who wrote the script said what to do, and the director said what to do if we want to shoot like this.

However, the script of "The Promise" was changed in this way, and there were problems.

Because of the addition of Xi An played by Jiang Xing, another actor in the play who played the heroine's suitor and who was barely the second male directly asked the agent and the crew to say that the role was suppressed and quit.

Director, screenwriter and other crew members: "..."

Although Jiang Xing didn't follow the crew all the time, he was very popular. When the incident broke out, before he could go there the next day, someone quietly sent him a text message to tell him about it.

Jiang Xing was in Chen Liang's car at this time.

From the rearview mirror, Chen Liang glanced at the person who was slowly sitting up from lying down because of the notification sound of the text message on his mobile phone, and said, "Fortunately, reporters have followed you everywhere before you are popular, so my car is temporarily closed. No need to replace the one-way viewing glass, huh?"

Jiang Xing smiled, but after clicking on the text message and looking at it twice, his brows frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Liang asked.While talking, his cell phone rang, and he put the earplugs of the cell phone into his ear with one free hand, and answered, "Hello?..."

A phone call doesn't take long.

Less than a minute after the few words, Chen Liang had hung up the phone, and he first asked Jiang Xing: "Look at you frowning just now, what happened?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Xing said, "Shen Qianlin, who played the second male lead in the crew of "The Promise", caused trouble between the economic team and the crew because of the increase in my role, saying that he would not act."

"Oh—" Chen Liang had a lot of meaning.

"Why?" Jiang Xing said, "Your tone is a bit special."

"I'm feeling that your popularity is really good, and you can get news about this kind of thing faster than me." Chen Liang tapped his mobile phone, "I just received a call, and I was also talking about this matter. "

It's not a big deal, it's just a dispute between the crew and Shen Qianlin.

Chen Liang continued to drive leisurely, and then asked Jiang Xing: "It's better if you don't know. The crew of a TV drama is not yet the leading role. If you are not happy, you can just stop acting. What are you going to do now? Just pretend you don't know." gone?"

Jiang Xing: "..."

He said it so beautifully...

The two had worked together for a long time, and Jiang Xing gradually got to know Chen Liang.

He found that Chen Liang was actually a very old-fashioned manager. Although he was very clear about the various aspects of the entertainment industry and lacked all the elements of a manager, when it came to his job as an artist, Chen Liang's requirements seemed to very high.

Chen Liang is positive about the artist's hard work in filming.

Any private life of an artist that damages the image is also strictly controlled.

And if an artist is careless about his career—although Chen Liang currently only has him as an artist under his staff, he may be acting or singing—he will always involuntarily bring out contempt and disapproval when talking about it...

In short, it is always a good thing that agents and artists have similar pursuits and goals.

Jiang Xing didn't think about it any further, he pondered for a while, and said: "I'll call the scriptwriter to test the other party's tone, I don't care... No matter how deep the character is, it's just like that, it doesn't matter if it's gone, Even if I have it, I don’t want to take tens of thousands more from here.”

While talking, he dialed the phone number of the screenwriter of "The Promise", and euphemistically mentioned what he meant.It is estimated that these words hit the heart of the screenwriter of this script, and the other party who was at the cusp of the storm directly started complaining to Jiang Xing on the phone: "...I am paralyzed and dissatisfied with the role and the price. Tell me, what are you doing?" Did you say no before signing the contract! Said that I changed your role and overwhelmed his role. You two were idols at the beginning, and now let him change roles with you. Do you think he dares? Dare? A cowardly middle-aged man, hehe, let him lose all his popularity in minutes!"

"I thought I was some kind of guy, I just starred in a TV series before! Don't you have a starring role?"

"It's okay to rely on your own company!"

"I'm just letting go here. Let's see if anyone still remembers an artist who dared to be so difficult when he just debuted and didn't have a lot of popularity in three years!"

Jiang Xing comforted the other party with a few words, but he didn't say anything deep, he just expressed his attitude and hung up the phone.

Jiang Xing didn't bother to ask how the crew communicated with Shen Qianlin, anyway, it really wasn't his business.

At the end of the incident, Jiang Xing's role was changed, and Shen Qianlin was still acting in the crew. When he appeared, he still had a smile on his face, looking very easy-going, without any airs.

Someone also quietly revealed some behind-the-scenes news to Jiang Xing.

It's said that it's time to shoot, so you can't change people, right?It was the crew who suffered a bit in the end and raised Shen Qianlin's salary by another 20.00%.

At this time, Jiang Xing had already completed the filming of "The Promise" and "Snow in Qingcheng", and started the progress of "[-]XX" and "The Gun".
