A playwright who brings funds into the group

The more people like and look forward to "Jing Yuan Lu", the more doubts and distrust are attached to Qian Can. Qian Can has made his debut for several years, but he has not produced a single work.

He has not filmed poorly produced movies and TV series to spoil his screen image, but he has not been able to receive any good scripts, and in those movies and TV series, as an actor with few scenes, he can act regardless of his acting skills No matter how good or tall he is, it's hard for people to notice him.

This led to the fact that after the list of actors in "Jing Yuan Lu" came out, only a few people thought that Qian Can could play Jing Yuan well, but these people were either Qian Can's true fans or Kui Zhengkun's true fans, and they blindly believed in Kui Zhengkun's For his vision, he felt that the actors he selected were the best.But among passers-by and ordinary netizens, there is almost no one who believes in Qian Can.

Although being able to become the male lead of Kui Zhengkun seems to have infinite glory, those who really understand know that this is actually a big gamble for Qian Can - the only chance for him to change the public's impression of him now is to play Jing Yuan as the protagonist. to the best.

If he didn't play Jing Yuan well, then he would hardly have a chance to make his mark in the entertainment circle in the future.

But even if the performance is good, even if he wins the title of actor, it doesn't mean that Qian Can will have smooth sailing in the future.

Kui Zhengkun has won many movie stars and queens, but in the final analysis, Shen Xiaohong is the only one who is really popular in the entertainment industry. Winning the Golden Statue Award is the judges, and it is the recognition of you by the people in the industry. It's not the audience. The capital market recognizes you. That's why many people in the entertainment industry mentioned his name after they won the Best Actor and Best Actress, but the audience was blank and had no impression of this actor at all.

But now Qian Can doesn't have time to think about his future, he just wants to pass the scene where He Jingyuan killed Jifeng first, so he doesn't care about whether there will be more in Zhongcheng City right now. What was he thinking, during the few days without him and Xie Yuan's filming arrangement, he went to Xie Yuan's room every day, played with him, and studied the script.

But for several days in a row, Qian Can sighed deeply after the show ended.

Xie Yu'an listened to him sighing every day, and even felt a sense of crisis that they would be hidden in the snow after filming this scene. He couldn't help asking Qian Can: "It's summer, is it because the crew provides enough watermelons? Why? I feel that you are hurting the spring and autumn every day?"

"Oh." Hearing Xie Yu'an's question, Qian Can sighed again, and said, "I'm in a hurry."

Xie Yu'an can actually guess something: "Is there no status?"

"Yes, I always feel that something is missing." Qian Can thought for a while and said, "But it seems to be all right again. After all, to be honest, there is almost no room for growth in the role of Jingyuan."

The space for character growth refers to the series of changes in the character's personality from the beginning to the end, from childishness to maturity, or tearing up the hypocritical face at the beginning, to the final reversal to reveal the truth.

In the entire "Jing Yuan Lu", except for the few princes who were out early, almost every main character has two faces, among which the prince Ji Chen played by Qi Xuan gives people the strongest reversal and shock.

But Jingyuan is not like this.In the novel, the reasons for the formation of his character and the things he experienced when he was a child have been described in detail, but the most important thing in the movie is the length of time. These things cannot be put on the big screen one by one, and they cannot be as detailed as in the original book. It tells the story, but there are a lot of shots, but the young Jing Yuan is not played by Qian Can, so the adult image of Qian Can playing Jing Yuan in the movie is actually a bit thin.

"I think if you are really confused, you might as well ask Director Kai." Xie Yu'an and Qian Can said, "You haven't been able to get out of the bottleneck after staying here for so many days, which proves that I can't help you, Kai You haven’t consulted the director, he must have his opinion, you can ask him.”

Qian Can was a little hesitant when he heard the words: "Kai is quite busy."

But Xie Yu'an said: "No matter how busy you are, you won't have time to tell you a play, right? After all, you're also playing the male lead. Besides, didn't you say that he goes to bed early at night recently, so pay attention to preventing slipping?"

"That's right." Qian Can nodded, then he looked at Xie Yu'an, and suddenly asked him, "What about you, did you encounter any bottlenecks in playing Ji Feng? You haven't played a role with such a personality before, right? "

Qian Can thinks that his personality is considered calm, but he still gets irritable when encountering bottlenecks. Xie Yu'an is also one of the male protagonists. Even though Jing Yuan has a relatively simple image, it is still difficult to act vividly. The difficulty of the wind is not much lower than that of Jingyuan, why Xie Yu'an seems to have nothing, no confusion or bottleneck?

This question was somewhat beyond Xie Yu'an's expectations. He thought for a few seconds and said, "Actually, it's not just you who are in a hurry, I'm also in a hurry."

Qian Candao: "But I see that you have no problems at all when playing Ji Feng."

"I've had NG several times too, but it's just a small problem, not a big one. Besides, haven't I been playing with you these days? I'll also discuss Jifeng with Zhongcheng at night. He has given me a lot Help." Xie Yu'an shook his head, "But that's not what I'm anxious about."

Qian Can was invisibly fed a wave of dog food by Xie Yu'an: "Then what are you in a hurry for?"

"I'm anxious about the whole movie." Xie Yu'an said, ""Jingyuanlu" is positioned as a commercial movie, right? But the audience for such a historical war movie is very small, and Director Wei doesn't completely follow the model of a commercial movie. Yes, so I think...the best case scenario for the film’s box office in the end is to make back its money, but it shouldn’t be a big hit.”

It’s hard to say about the situation abroad, but in China, there are no historical war movies with a box office of over one billion. Reasons why actors joined the cast.

The advantage of "Jing Yuan Lu" over similar movies is that it is adapted from a novel and has a certain reader base. However, the plots of the court and the swords and swords on the battlefield in the original book are boring to most audiences. After the removal of male audiences, very few female audiences are interested in this. Even in a sense, the story of the protagonist, Jingyuan, who went from being a general to beheading three emperors, and finally ascending to the throne as emperor is a bit of a cool story. , but this does not mean that it will definitely be able to fully pull up the box office.

It is almost a consensus in the industry that small-budget, difficult-to-understand literary films win awards, and high-budget, easy-to-understand commercial films are used to make money. Those who take care of both will either make a lot of money, or lose everything.

The final investment of "Jing Yuan Lu" may be 20 million. If it wants to pay back, it means that the box office must exceed 20 billion, up to more than [-] billion, but even if it gets more than [-] billion, with Wei Zhengkun's reputation and status, As far as their cast is concerned, this is simply a loss of money-unless "Jing Yuan Lu" can win an award.

If he doesn't win the award, the whole crew will become a joke——Qi Xuan's first best actor can only act as a male supporting role, and the box office of the film he acted in is not high, and his value has plummeted after the scandal; Old transparent is old transparent, unable to take on the role, the only male protagonist in Kui Zhengkun's movie who was not praised as the best actor; Xie Yu'an failed to transform into a movie from a TV series, and his strength is not enough, so he probably can only follow the idol school route; Not suitable for making commercial films, and made the most failed work in the director's career...etc. Labels like these will be firmly attached to them, putting each of them in an embarrassing situation.

These things are not difficult to guess, so when Xie Yu'an mentioned it, Qian Can knew what he meant.

Xie Yu'an said to Qian Can: "It's not just that you want to talk to director Kui about the play, I'm also going." He stared at Qian Can's eyes and said slowly, "It's not that I didn't encounter a bottleneck in the role of Ji Feng, but that I didn't encounter a bottleneck. It's because I can't have a bottleneck, I must perform to the best and win the Best Actor Award."

Qian Can stared into his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds, then said, "You're right, I want to win the Best Actor Award, otherwise I will really be the only leading actor who did not win the Best Actor Award."

There is no need to go to Kui Zhengkun, Qian Can feels that the bottleneck that troubled him before has been broken, and he finally understands the difference in the feeling of Jing Yuan he played - the difference is in him and Xie Yu'an.

In the final analysis, it is because the two of them are too familiar and are good friends, not the kind of plastic friendship that will be tempted by interests, so when they play Jing Yuan and Ji Feng, they always have a kind of "polite" feeling In it, no matter how well they acted, they are still familiar emotionally.

However, Jingyuan and Jifeng are in completely opposite relationships. Both of them want to let the other die earlier. What they are fighting for is the throne. Xie Yu'an and Qian Can have no sense of competition, and they are worried that their acting skills are not good enough. There are many scruples such as winning awards and not being confident enough.

Who is Jingyuan?He is always famous, imposing, and a generation of generals who are sure to win. There is no hesitation or uncertainty in him. However, Ji Feng is good at calculating and planning for many years. He is waiting for Beijing with a hypocritical mask. Yuan killed his stumbling block, and then ascended to the throne to liquidate Jing Yuan. His city is not shallower than Jing Yuan, and they are both equal opponents—just like Xie Yu'an and Qian Can are in the same movie now, playing the male lead together, and cooperating with each other. It's the same as competing for the best actor.

At the beginning, whether it was Xie Yu'an or Qian Can, all they wanted was to do their best to play their roles well. As for who won the best actor award in the end, it didn't matter who won it, but now it's not the case. The movie has studied the script for a long time and thoroughly understood every character. They not only have to play their own roles well, but also play better than each other, and finally won the Best Actor Award.

After thinking about it, Qian Can exclaimed: "Wow! Before, I always thought that Ling Dongyu and Xin Yirou had never liked the same person and couldn't play Ji Xingming and Ji Hanyue. It turns out that the two of us are so far behind. .”

"I seem to understand why Director Kai chose the two of us." Xie Yu'an said, "The script has also revised the original work."

In the original work of "Jingyuanlu", even though Jifeng's description is quite long, it can be seen that Jingyuan is the only male protagonist, and only a small number of book parties firmly believe that "Jingyuanlu" is the story of two male protagonists. novel.

But now that "Jing Yuan Lu" has been adapted into a movie, Ji Feng is directly designated as one of the male protagonists in the script, and "Jing Yuan Lu" has been changed into a complete dual-male protagonist movie.

Qian Can also sighed with emotion: "Director Kui is a real beer, as expected of Director Kui, I also think that I don't need to talk to him about the play, we can start a new scene now."

"Okay." Xie Yu'an readily agreed.

Probably because of breaking the bottleneck, Qian Can and Xie Yu'an were very involved this time, and they really dragged the time into the night without paying attention, and the room here is really not soundproof. To the people outside the room, Xie Yu'an and Xie Yu'an Qian Can's volume and tone when he read his lines to the play, if you don't pay attention to it, it looks like you are arguing.

After the "quarrel", Qian Can's face flushed with excitement, and he left Xie Yu'an's room happily.

And Xie Yu'an's condition was similar to Qian Can's. After sending Qian Can away, he turned on his phone only to find that he had missed the video call from Zhongcheng City.

He called back, and Zhongcheng raised his brows when he saw his red cheeks and panting slightly, and immediately asked three times: "What were you doing just now? Why didn't you answer my call? You're greening me again ?”

"Of course not, what are you thinking about? Baby." Xie Yu'an didn't say any flirty things this time, he told the truth, "I was just playing with Qian Can."

But Zhongcheng said: "You hurt me so deeply, I can no longer tell which of your words is true or false."

These words also rhymed very well, and they could almost be sung. Xie Yu'an saw that he had started to perform, and said in harmony with Shen Zhongcheng: "It's true to call you a baby, but it's false to play with Qian Can."

"Are you flirting again?" Zhong Chengcheng asked him.

Xie Yu'an looked innocent: "I'm just cooperating with your performance."

Chongzhongcheng looked at him with a smile, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I see you are so excited, the bottleneck is gone?"

Qian Can came to Xie Yu'an when he encountered a bottleneck and had no one to communicate with. In fact, Xie Yu'an had already felt that there was something wrong with his performance of Ji Feng, and he did, as Qian Can said, immediately found the best friend with him. People who are close to him—Chongcheng City talks about himself.

Shen Zhongcheng knew Xie Yu'an so well, and he himself had a broad vision, so Xie Yu'an's problem just started, he understood where Xie Yu'an's problem was, but he didn't directly point it out, because Qian Can is Xie Yu'an's good friend, he can't Tell Xie Yu'an bluntly that because you and Qian Can have such a good relationship, there is only one actor, you have to compete, it seems that he is really jealous because Qian Can and Xie Yu'an play each other every day, and then wants to drive a wedge between the two of them It's the same as his friendship - even if he was really jealous, he wouldn't do it.

So Zhongcheng only analyzed the box office prospects of "Jing Yuan Lu" for Xie Yu'an, and deliberately said it in a pessimistic opposite, and then let Xie Yu'an go on to think about it.

"No more." Xie Yu'an now understands Zhongcheng City's intentions, and he joked with a smile, "But I guess some people may think that Qian Can and I are plastic friends, it's all your fault, it's your bad deeds, you Think about it carefully."

Zhongcheng raised his eyebrows: "What am I reflecting on? What bad things have I done? I am helping you."

Xie Yu'an talked to him again: "You know what you did yourself."

However, Xie Yu'an has never been able to talk about Zhongcheng City. He saw Zhongzhongcheng's lips curled up, and he felt that he had lost before he opened his mouth. .”
