Chapter 204 : 'Startling Step by Step' starts, the cast is exposed!
Under normal circumstances, Huang Lei calls Shun Li "Sister Li", and only when they are in bed, they call each other "husband and wife".
When in public places, calling her husband is too annoying, and calling everyone "Teacher Huang" is too weird, so Sun Li calls Huang Lei very dotingly.
When in front of others, Sun Li usually calls Huang Lei "daddy", which in layman's terms means the child's father. Huang Lei also thinks it's good, because he also treats Shun Li as his daughter.
When she gets excited, Huang Lei will also ask Shun Li to call her daddy.
It's just that Hayabusa had no problem calling him "daddy", but how could she know that she couldn't say the word "daddy"? She would feel weird and embarrassed.
Soon, Li Guoli told Cao Jun the good news that Falcon Li had joined the cast of "Bu Bu Jing Xin".
Li Guoli on the other end of the phone said straight to the point: "Xiao Cao, Falcon Li has agreed to play the role of Martel Ruolan."
After hearing Li Guoli's words, Cao Jun suddenly became energetic and complimented with a smile: "Director Li, you still have the face to invite her out for filming.'
Li Guoli felt proud, but said: "It's nothing, she is a contracted artist of our Sugar Man, and many of her scenes were directed by me."
"If she doesn't even want to give me face, then others won't be able to please her.
After chatting for a while, Cao Jun then asked: "Director Li, have you chosen who will play the role of the Eighth Master?"
The reason why Cao Jun asked this was because in the fight for the throne in Kowloon, the Fourth Master's Party and the Eighth Master's Party were evenly matched. Most of the time, the Eighth Master's limelight far surpassed that of the Fourth Master.
In "Bu Bu Jing Xin", the struggle between the Fourth Master and the Eighth Master is also evenly matched. In other words, if this drama is not to be filmed well, the actor who plays the Fourth Master and the actor who plays the Eighth Master must both
have similar strengths.
This is just like a football game. No one likes a one-sided game. Only a tit-for-tat game can make the audience excited.
The role of Fourth Master has already been played by Cao Jun, so the role of Eighth Master will naturally have to be played by equally matched actors. Regarding the choice of the Eighth Master, Li Guoli and Cai Yinong’s original idea was to invite Wang Xiaoming and Deng Chaolai
Acting. Because in the Mainland film and television circles, among the gentlemen in the Mainland, there are almost no actors who can compete with Cao Jun.
After all, we have Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, and Wang Xiaoming.
As for Chen Kun, he has already won the Huabiao Award for Best Actor for his movie "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters", so it would be impossible for him to play a supporting role for Cao Jun.
After some discussion, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli set their sights on Deng Chao and Wang Xiaoming.
However, the two of them and Cao Jun were not very happy because of competition.
Moreover, with their status, it is impossible for them to play supporting roles for other actors in TV series.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Xiaoming and Cao Jun heard that he was the second male lead, they rejected Cai Yinong's invitation.
On the other hand, Hu Ge also became very interested in this drama after reading the script "Bu Bu Jing Xin".
Although the original work and script of "Step by Step" still show the dangerous and ups and downs of the court struggle during the reign of Kangxi's nine sons.
But it uses time travel as an introduction to reinterpret the famous story of the nine kings seizing the throne during the Kangxi period, and adds more modern elements.
In addition to its high popularity, the plot of "Step by Step" is very rigorous, and the emotional lines in the play are also quite rich. The plot is even more twists and turns and touching, but it does not make random jokes about history.
Hu Ge felt that such a good script was rare, and he wanted to challenge himself to play the role of the Fourth Master in the play.
For this reason, Hu Ge took the initiative to ask Cai Yinong and said: "Boss, let me play "Bu Bu Jing Xin", I like this script so much.
"
Without even thinking about it, Cai Yinong said: "No, the male lead in "Step by Step" has already been chosen by Cao Jun." Hu Ge didn't care whether he could play the leading role or not, and took it for granted, "It doesn't matter, I can play the male lead." No. 2, Eighth Master."
Cai Yinong said angrily: "Are you stupid? You have always been the protagonist, and now you are supporting Cao Jun? What on earth do you think?"
"I think back then, in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", you already played the male lead Li Xiaoyao, and Huang Lei could only play a supporting role for you? Now you suddenly tell me
After listening to Wang Xiaoming's words, Cao Jun gradually calmed down and gave up the idea of appearing as a supporting actor in "Bu Bu Jing Xin".
On March 20, Century Film and Television and Sugarman Film and Television Company, after repeated discussions and research, finally decided on Xiangjiang TVB actor Li Guoli to play the role of Ba Ye in "Step by Step".
Li Guoli is the leading niche actor of TVB. He has superb acting skills and is quite famous.
But because the salary of TVB actors is too low, Qin Hongyan has always wanted to leave TVB and come to the mainland to make money like Chen Haomin. However, he still has a contract, and Li Guoli cannot leave TVB for a while, so he can only stay with TVB Only after high-level negotiations did we have the opportunity to film.
The top management of TVB are not shady. They feel that it is not impossible for TVB artists to come out to film, but in terms of remuneration, they have to take the lion's share, otherwise they will never let them go.
Qin Hongyan's idea is also relatively common. He is now cooperating with mainland film crews not mainly to make money, but to gain popularity in the mainland.
Li Guoli can accept some losses now. What he wants is the future mainland market.
First get a firm foothold, which is the main motivation behind Qin Hongyan's willingness to take on the role in "Step by Step".
April 3, morning.
The TV series "Bu Bu Jing Xin", co-produced by Century Films and Sugarman Films, officially held a launch ceremony in Hengdian.
With firecrackers blasting and drums blaring, the Qing palace TV series "Step by Step", directed by Qin Hongyan and co-starring Huang Lei and Liu Shishi, also officially kicked off.
In addition to starring Huang Lei, Liu Shishi, Li Guoli, and Shun Li, other main actors in the play also participated in the opening ceremony.
Because it was the first day of filming, the main purpose was to hold the opening ceremony. Producers Gao Qi and Wang Xiaoming, as well as director Cai Yinong, only took a symbolic empty shot.
The rest of the time is for the actors to try on makeup and take final makeup photos.
For most of the male actors in the play, the first thing they did when joining the crew was to shave their heads.
"Step by Step" is a costume drama after all. If you don't shave your head and wear a hood like Xiangjiang TVB, then you might as well not act in it.
As the leading actor, Huang Lei was the first to shave his head, which set an example for the entire cast.
Liu Shishi on the side couldn't help but smile when she saw Huang Lei's shaved head and his smooth head.
Huang Lei saw this and asked: "Shishi, why are you laughing? Does it look ugly if I shave my head?"
Chapter completed!
