Chapter 156, the role is downgraded
At this moment the audition results have been finalized.
But it wasn't as smooth as expected.
No one really believes that Li Yun can act well. Ye Jiunian's attitude is rather ambiguous. He wants to take a chance on Li Yun.
Even Yu Mingsheng himself had an ambiguous attitude. When asked whether he thought Li Yun could handle the role, he personally thought it was okay.
But being able to grasp it doesn't mean that he is the best choice.
In terms of acting skills and status, the best choice should be Jiao Junen.
If Jiao Jun'en was not available, Li Yun would also be a good choice.
But now we have Jiao Junen.
The decision to choose Li Yun was indeed due to some off-field factors. Zhang Da Huzi personally asked for a favor, which meant there was an exchange of interests involved.
Yu Mingsheng still has to give this face - provided that Liu Yehong's background does not speak up.
Li Mo is considered a veteran artist in the industry with both moral integrity and artistic talent, but he still won't ask for things like auditions.
With the support of Ye Jiunian, the role was finalized.
However, Zhang Xingda, the producer, was quite dissatisfied with this decision. There have been many heated discussions on this matter in the past few days.
Finally, a compromise was found.
If I directly said that it’s okay to choose Li Yun, then let’s cut down on his role.
Reduce the role of Erlang Shen.
Give Liu Ye and Hong more scenes for their role as Little White Dragon.
Yes, although Liu Yehong lost the role of Erlang Shen, he still got the role of Xiaobailong, which made him the third male lead.
But if he had more roles, he would no longer be the third male lead, but the second male lead among the main characters, and some people even wanted to position him as the dual male lead in the main character group.
In this regard, Yu Mingsheng also accepted this proposal.
The target audience of The Lotus Lantern is teenagers, and the focus is on shaping the main characters, which is actually focusing on the young audience.
It is relatively easy to get gold coins from young men, unlike those picky young people. So let's reduce the role of Yang Jian and weaken the role of the Heavenly Court group.
Ye Jiunian was a little helpless about this, but still accepted the result.
"Brother Jiu Nian, you are competing with me. It seems like you are determined to prove that Li Yun is capable of playing this role." Yu Mingsheng said with a smile. This is the result of weighing the pros and cons.
With so many scenes cut, there isn't even enough space for the arc.
This is something Yu Mingsheng has been thinking about for a long time. In fact, he has also thought a lot about the role of Erlang Shen. If it is Jiao Junen, then the length can be normal. Even if it is not him, then the main characters can be given more scenes.
It focuses more on young audiences, allowing them to focus on Chenxiang's adventure story.
Splitting the mountain to save mother, what positive energy.
The young man’s counterattack is so passionate.
That's fine.
As for Erlang Shen, who was given a favor by selling his beard, it is enough for him to perform satisfactorily.
Ye Jiunian is different. He wants the character arc, and wants a character to be in the most perfect state and to play to its fullest extent. This is something that a third-tier actor can only have a small chance to appear in, but now that his role has been cut, what can he do? "Then let's see"
Ye Jiunian actually didn’t have much confidence.
But as a creator who regards his works as his children.
Even if it was a tiny bit, he wanted him to perform at his best. He also wanted to hire the best.
The problem is that only top-notch actors with suitable looks would bother with the crew of The Lotus Lantern. Just like Jiao Junen, if she hadn't fallen in status due to her divorce, she wouldn't have come to the crew of The Lotus Lantern for an audition.
…
After getting the role, the agreed salary was 100,000 for the entire film.
This price is good.
Although the crew of "The Lotus Lantern" had different opinions on whether Li Yun got the role, in the end Li Yun got the role.
He successfully became Erlang Shen in the "The Lotus Lantern" crew, and the filming should start after the New Year.
Li Yun also had time to ponder the unity of opposites between divinity and humanity in the character.
It's not a big problem.
During the Chinese New Year period, "The Number One Under Heaven" also quietly hit the screens, and previously released were Fatty Wang's "Eight Heroes" and "The Three Heroes of Hong Fu Girl".
Fatty Wang has some talent. He filmed three martial arts TV series at the same time and released them. It can be said that he has a lot of confidence in himself. He filmed three TV series with the same theme. The biggest one among them is "Eight Heroes", which contains almost the essence of the Hong Kong circle. It can be said that "Eight Heroes" is the direct line of Fatty Wang.
"The Number One Under Heaven" spans the most diverse circles, with participation from the central, Hong Kong, and Taiwan circles. It's a big deal, but no one knows whether Fatty Wang will pay more attention to the team from his own circle.
According to the industry's opinion.
By the time "Eight Heroes" is released, what will be the performance of "Number One Under Heaven"? Then we will know whether this cross-industry masterpiece will not be accepted by the local environment. It is also possible that Wang Jing's style is not suitable for modern martial arts. It is possible that the three major themes will all fail this time.
It’s still an original IP.
"The Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust" is the most promising one.
This is also the only one of the three works that has an IP.
Although the three heroes of martial arts, Hong Funu, are relatively unpopular and often appear in erotic films, at least everyone knows the name, so it has IP value.
"How about we watch our number one together then?"
"Sure, if you have time."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have time!"
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan sent a message through QQ, asking me to come and watch "The World's Number One" together.
Gao Yuanyuan also said that Li Yapeng had also asked her out, but this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes has a girlfriend now and is not easy to get along with, so they watched TV together.
Gao Yuanyuan also has some gossip, who is Li Yapeng's girlfriend? Li Yun thought silently, of course it is the pop queen Xiao Wang The love story between them is really touching.
However, Li Yun couldn't criticize others' love life.
I am a person who lacks love.
How can you understand other people's views?
It doesn't matter.
"We have a deal. We'll watch The World's Number One together. Of course, it's okay if you stand me up."
"OK."
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan at home was still thinking about it.
If it was Song Qingshu, he wouldn't have stood me up.
He won't.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
As the New Year approaches, many places are preparing for year-end parties, banquets and celebrations. It’s another New Year’s Eve and another Spring Festival Gala.
During the first New Year in this world, Li Yun ate dumplings for several days and almost vomited.
This is the second New Year.
That should be it.
After taking inventory of some things and paying the final payment, Jiang Chenggang returned to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.
It seems that Lao Jiang is no longer a single guy. He is asking Li Yun if he is interested in watching this year's Spring Festival movies.
Li Yun just wanted to go and see it when he could be the leading actor in the Spring Festival movie.
Lunar New Year holiday.
All the major events of the year are concentrated here.
A commercial film with big scenes, big production and big investment.
What’s interesting is that Wang Baoqiang still got the role in A World Without Thieves during this period of time, and this Sha Gen was still favored.
Although the pay was pitifully low, Jiang Chenggang still felt that this was a rare opportunity.
What a fool.
Wang Baoqiang is stupid enough.
Li Yun asked Jiang Chenggang to help Wang Baoqiang pay more attention to military dramas, which he could handle.
I don’t know whether he listened to what Li Yun said or not, but Jiang Chenggang just went back to celebrate the New Year.
The entire capital city also became desolate.
Boom boom.
Li Yun stuck his head out of the window.
Large and small bags of stuff are tied on motorcycles by migrant workers in Beijing. These motorcycle warriors have to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to return to their hometowns, the nearby ones are Helanhe Beishijiazhuang, and the farther ones are the three northeastern provinces.
Those who can’t buy tickets can take a motorcycle.
There are many people who can buy tickets, and there are actually quite a few who ride motorcycles.
Perhaps the carefree ride along the way is a feeling that taking a train cannot give you.
Even though it is hard and tiring.
But when I think about my hometown far away, and the extra money I have from working that can be used to buy things for my wife and children at home, I can't help but smile. Although life may not be rich, it's good to have a thought in my heart. There is such a thing as concern.
At this time, the phantom of the middle-aged scribe appeared beside him and said.
"What about your concerns?"
Li Yun glanced at the middle-aged scholar next to him, closed the window, and stopped looking at the huge army returning home.
"My concerns are when I can become a movie star with a thousand faces, when I can cure my mental illness and become a normal person, and when I can reach the peak of my life."
"My immediate concerns are when Kung Fu will be released and whether my performance will be recognized by the audience, whether I can be recognized by the audience when The World's Number One is released, and whether I can play the role of Erlang Shen well."
"Who said I don't have any worries? I have a lot of worries, okay?! My whole body is full of worries! Everything here and there is full of worries."
"I just said this one sentence, and you gave me a long reply." At this time, the middle-aged scholar looked at Li Yun with a slight smile, but he was not surprised at the change and said calmly: "Actually, it is not necessary."
Li Yun: “.”
Li Yun suddenly realized that this guy was not so considerate. "There are two kinds of concerns. One is about things, and the other is about people. You have things that you are concerned about, but do you really have people that you are concerned about?"
"Is it important?"
"Isn't it important?"
'Not that important'
At this time, Li Yun paused and said, "When I buy a house next year and pay the down payment, and take root here, maybe the 'concern' you mentioned will really come true for me."
"Oh, so-called concern is born from the place where you live. Xiao Li, you are obsessed with appearances."
"Shouldn't you be the majestic God of Justice? Why have you become a nagging monk?"
"Hahaha, who says the most nagging one can't be the most majestic and powerful one? The god?"
The middle-aged scholar laughed.
"Only with a heart of compassion and kindness can one control the world."
