Chapter 48: Selecting a Script
Wrong password!
Qi Luo's heart slowly calmed down. He slowly stood up and sat on the chair behind the desk. He leaned lazily against the back of the chair and smiled for a while.
She didn't know why she was laughing. Maybe it was influenced by the residual emotions of the original owner, she thought.
I don’t know how long he sat like this before Qi Luo got up and left the study. She no longer had the heart to go out for a walk, so she simply took the script that Yang Yu sent her to the living room to look through and select.
Yang Yu brought five scripts in total.
The roles given to him were not the protagonists, but the third or second female roles, which was exactly what Qi Luo wanted.
Because of the incident online, she now has more than five million followers on Weibo, but she knows that she has few true fans and most of them are there to watch the fun and scold her.
Once there is a reversal on the Internet, her reputation will improve and she will be a popular newcomer, but she does not have any works to support her and cannot carry a leading role. It is better for her to take it step by step and wait until she has accumulated some experience.
There are five scripts: a campus drama, an urban drama, a period drama, an ancient political drama, and a fantasy drama.
The stories are all very good and the production team is not bad either. No matter which one she chooses to star in, as long as her acting skills are up to par, she will not achieve too bad results. Now it depends on which story and character she likes more.
Campus dramas are ruled out first. The previous drama the original owner had filmed was a campus drama. Even if a campus drama is well made, it will not be too outstanding and it will easily be stereotyped.
Period dramas are also ruled out. Her few fans now are mostly those who love her looks. Period drama costume photos can hardly highlight her beauty and are not suitable for her current situation.
The urban drama tells the story of three people who grew up in small towns and moved to big cities. They worked hard in the big cities, experienced various twists and turns, but remained tenacious and did not give up, and finally gained love and career.
It’s not bad, but Su Qiluo is only 22 years old now. It would be better for her not to play the career-oriented strong woman type in the first few scenes she shoots.
Then all that’s left are ancient political intrigue dramas and fantasy dramas.
Both dramas are big productions. The ancient political intrigue drama is set against the backdrop of four kingdoms fighting for the world in troubled times. The framework is very large, and the role given to Qi Luo is a princess from an enemy country who marries the male protagonist's younger brother. The princess is known as the most beautiful woman in the four kingdoms. On the surface, she is a simple love-brained person who is only able to be jealous, but secretly she is scheming and plotting to send intelligence to her homeland. However, in the process, he gradually fell in love with the person he was related to. When faced with a difficult choice between his own love and the interests of his country and family, he chose the interests of his country and family, and ultimately became a tragic victim of the struggle.
She is considered the third female character, not a villain. She is only defined as a villain because she stands opposite to the male and female protagonists. In fact, they each have their own stance.
If this role is filmed well, it will definitely be a standout.
The fairy-tale drama is said to be a big IP production, with countless fans of the original novel, directed by a famous director, and adapted by the original author himself. It has small love and great righteousness, and the role given to Qi Luo is the second female lead, the male protagonist's biological sister.
After their families were destroyed, the two brothers joined a large righteous sect to cultivate immortality and wait for revenge. In the process, differences gradually emerged between the two brothers and sisters.
The male protagonist believes that every wrong has its perpetrator and that they should seek revenge on whoever caused their family to be destroyed. They should not implicate other people, let alone the people of the world. However, his sister thinks that all the righteous sects are responsible for the demise of their family. Even if not everyone deserves to die, they should not stand on the side of those who once forced their entire family to death.
They have different ideas, and the fact that the hero falls in love with the kind-hearted heroine, who is also the direct disciple of their greatest enemy, completely infuriates the younger sister. The younger sister cannot bear it anymore and turns against the hero, falling into the evil way, declaring that she will avenge her family herself and will never think of relying on the hero again.
My younger sister has a rather paranoid personality to begin with, and her character changed drastically after she fell into the evil path. Since ancient times, good has always prevailed over evil, so one can imagine what happened to her in the end.
The younger sister died in the protagonist's arms. In her dying moments, she seemed to see the yard full of blooming pear blossoms and the family laughing and chatting happily. She called out "Dad and Mom" and "Brother", but she never forgave the protagonist until her death, even though the protagonist killed all the masterminds who had harmed their entire family and vindicated the family.
This character is very complicated. If you say she is bad, she has spent her whole life avenging her family. She is ruthless and loveless. Until her death, she longs for the scene of a happy family and dreams of going back there. If you say she is not bad, she has indeed killed many innocent people.
The main theme of the story is undoubtedly that the hero seeks revenge while caring for the common people, and he also has a tragic love relationship with the heroine, but the role of the younger sister is also very outstanding if it is played well.
Even though there was a great hatred in the early stage, the sister was innocent because she was protected by her brother; in the later stage, she turned evil and fell into the devil's way, and the sister had a different personality. Although she turned evil, she still had something to hold on to deep in her heart, which was a test of the actor's acting skills.
After reading this story, Qi Luo let out a sigh of relief.
She likes both the roles of the princess in the ancient political drama and the sister in the fairy tale drama, but the role of the sister is more touching to her.
This may be related to her own experience. Having lived alone for many years, family affection always gives her a very different feeling. When my sister was dying, she dreamed of a scene where her family was happy and full of laughter. This scene touched her deeply.
Qi Luo sent a message to Yang Yu: [Sister Yang, I have chosen the script. I will be starring in "The Chaos of Immortals and Demons". 】
As soon as the message was sent, Yang Yu called.
"Luoluo, are you going to play the role of Sangzhu? Have you decided yet?"
Sang Zhu is the name of the hero's sister in "The Chaos of Immortals and Demons".
"Well, it's decided, Sister Yang. Is there any problem with this role?" If there was no problem, Yang Yu would not have called with such a slightly hesitant tone.
"Originally, this role fell into the resources of Ancheng Entertainment, and then it was directly assigned to you for you to choose first, but I just received a notice that He Xin, a rising star that Royal Films is promoting, has taken a fancy to this role and wants to play it. Royal Films is the main investor of this drama, and the producers of Royal Films, Ancheng Entertainment and others don't want to offend anyone, so they finally decided to open the casting and let the actors compete for the role based on their abilities."
Qi Luo raised his eyebrows: "Capital oppression?"
Of course she knew about Dynasty Film and Television, which started two years later than Ancheng Entertainment, but had already caught up with Ancheng Entertainment in just a few years of development and was known as the two leading companies in the entertainment industry together with Ancheng Entertainment. You have to know that Qi Wuyu is behind Ancheng Entertainment. The fact that Huangchao Film and Television can catch up with Ancheng Entertainment, which has Qi Wuyu in charge, in such a short time shows that there must be a powerful backer behind it.
Yang Yu smiled bitterly and did not deny it. It was just capital that was putting pressure on people.
"It's even more interesting that Ancheng Entertainment can't surpass them with capital."
Hearing her words, Yang Yu was silent for a moment, and said, "In fact, Ancheng Entertainment is not defeated. The main reason is that "Immortal Demon Rebellion" was invested by Dynasty Film and Television. They took the lead and had the right to speak."
"Luoluo, why don't we just forget about it? The ancient political drama "Prosperity" is also very good. This is the project funded by Ancheng. As long as you agree, the role of the most beautiful princess will be yours. If you audition, there will be many actors with good acting skills competing for it. Besides, He Xin has become a popular young actress in Dynasty Film and Television, and her acting skills are not bad. She has been in the industry for two years, but you are still a newcomer. If we really audition and compete in acting skills, I'm afraid you can't... compare with her."
