Chapter 82 The confidence of a popular artist
As a company integrating filming, production, distribution, actor agency and other businesses, Xinbao Film and Television also has the qualifications to produce Class A TV series licenses for state-approved. There are not many such powerful film and television companies in China.
Since media reports, Xinbao Film and Television has been preparing to shoot an urban TV series, which is directed by chief director Zhao Baogang. The agency that cooperates with Xinbao hopes to win some roles for its artists.
As the general manager of these cooperative companies, Ding Xin encountered this situation not the first time he encountered this situation. He quickly stated that the choice of cast depends more on Zhao Baogang's meaning.
If there is a chance to cooperate, Xinbao Film and Television will contact these companies as soon as possible. I hope they can ask their artists to come to Xinbao Film and Television for an interview as soon as possible. If they can decide, they will enter the corresponding signing process.
These brokerage companies did not wait long. Not long after the news came out in the media, some brokerage companies received calls from Xinbao Film and Television staff, asking their company's artists to come to the company for an interview as soon as possible.
During these contact numbers, the staff of Xinbao Film and Television will also ask whether these interview actors have schedules. If there is a conflict with the schedule of the TV series shooting, the actor will be disqualified from the interview.
The rules in the circle are naturally clear to the various discipline companies. After all, it is very taboo to confirm the schedule and suddenly renege on it. Even re-enter other people's crew.
As the interview candidates were deliberately released by Xinbao Film and Television, the media that cooperated with them naturally sent out the so-called latest news every once in a while. This can also ensure that the attention of this TV series continues to increase.
When lunch was about to eat, Lin Xingchen met Zhang Ze again. He did not hide the casting matters. Zhang Ze seemed to understand this and said, "Thank you, you are willing to tell me this, which is enough to show that you really regard it as a friend.
Actually, Director Zhao told me some time ago that this drama is not suitable for me. No matter what, if you can see the script you wrote, it will be about to start filming, and the senior will be happy for you. The same thing, when you become popular, don’t forget to pick up the senior.”
This understanding of the answer made Lin Xingchen feel a little relieved and quickly said: "Don't worry, senior, although I dare not make any guarantees. However, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will create a script with you three brothers as the protagonists.
I believe that by then, you, Senior Ren Zhong and Senior Wang Yang can perform in the same drama. In the script, you and Senior Ren Zhong will design imaginary rivals. I believe that such a scene should be worth looking forward to!"
Thinking of the TV series I watched later, Lin Xingchen also said these words confidently. But he knew that every TV series must cater to the characteristics of the times before it could get greater attention.
Although there are doctor-patient disputes nowadays, they have not yet become as well-known as later generations. This means that writing "Young Doctor" is somewhat inappropriate. Lin Xingchen also understands this very clearly.
Zhang Ze seemed to be looking forward to Lin Xingchen's words, "Then keep working hard, I'm waiting, when you praise me as the protagonist! By the way, if you have the ability, please help Song Jia more in the future! That girl is so strong!"
Lin Xingchen, who thought Zhang Ze knew something, was shocked and breathed a little relieved. He quickly said, "Don't worry, senior, no matter when, I will play the role of the students and call myself.
As long as I have the ability and opportunity, I will take care of the students who have taken part in the theater. However, now that I say such words, it seems a bit inappropriate. After all, I am still a pink newcomer!"
After chatting, Xinbao Film and Television came to the first interview artist in the afternoon. This artist, Zhao Baogang personally called to invite him to play the leading role of the TV series and play the role of "Lu Tao".
In 2004, this actor won the most popular actor on the Golden Eagle Festival that year with his role in the drama "Yu Guanyin". Now he is also a hit in the film and television industry. He also has a certain audience appeal to him as the protagonist.
Tong Dawei, who has been following the news when he came, said as if he was a little surprised when he saw Lin Xingchen in the reception room: "Have we seen him? I always feel that you look familiar!"
Due to Zhao Baogang's request, Lin Xingchen did not dare to say anything after Tong Dawei came in. After Tong Dawei said this, Lin Xingchen hurriedly said: "Hello, senior! I met you at the New Student Conference in the Opera and Drama last year. That day I spoke on behalf of the New Student."
When Tong Dawei heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Oh! When Director Zhao called me, he said mysteriously, "I introduced me to a very talented friend. It turned out that it was Junior Brother Lin."
Then, is the script that Director Zhao is going to start filming written by his junior? He can write scripts that satisfy Director Zhao in his freshman year. It seems that you are really talented. In the future, seniors will count on you to take care of him."
Tong Dawei, who is very familiar with Zhao Baogang, had no outsiders when he saw the reception room, so he naturally spoke a lot more casually. But he really didn't expect that the script of this drama would be created by Lin Xingchen, who had seen it last year and had a little impression on him.
Seeing that Tong Dawei could recognize Lin Xingchen, Zhao Baogang also smiled and said, "Dawei, how about it? I am still satisfied with the friend I introduced to you today! But you have been paying attention to music news recently, so you should have known about his existence for a long time!"
Seeing that Tong Dawei seemed to really not know, Lin Xingchen's reputation in the music industry, Zhao Baogang quickly said: "You are a senior, and you are indeed a little ineffective! Why don't you pay more attention to such a talented junior?
Yesterday, the music talent reported online was the junior in front of you! So, compared to your fame when you graduated, your junior can surpass you with such grades!"
Faced with Zhao Baogang's praise, Lin Xingchen hurriedly said, "Director Zhao, you don't have fun! Senior, this should be considered our second meeting, but it is also the first time we meet. In the future, I would like to ask my senior for more advice!"
No matter what, Lin Xingchen's modesty and courteousness still made Tong Dawei feel very comfortable. With his fame today, naturally, I wouldn't really think that Lin Xingchen, who just released a work, could really take care of him.
But when you speak, don’t you want to have a good start! You can say a few compliments without spending money, so why not say it!
Seeing that Tong Dawei and Lin Xingchen were having a good chat, Zhao Baogang felt that Lin Xingchen's communication skills were more mature than he thought. He immediately smiled and said, "Dawei, I believe that on the way here, you should have read related reports about the new drama.
These rumors are all intentionally released by the company. But the male lead, Screenwriter Lin and I think you are the most suitable. I also think that this is a rare and good character. You can read the script first before talking about it!"
I understand that a popular young actor like Tong Dawei is not bad for the time being. Compared to others, it is enough to play a role. However, Tong Dawei will consider whether the role is suitable for him to play when taking on the role. This is the confidence of a popular artist!
Despite Zhao Baogang's words, Tong Dawei also smiled and said, "Director Zhao, it seems that my junior's script is really good. I rarely see it. You are so sure of a script! Then I'll take a look first!"
After taking over the script outline and the male protagonist's scene script, Tong Dawei also fell into imagination. Judging from the script outline, Tong Dawei also knew that this was a story about college graduates who entered society and worked hard.
In this drama, the main line is Lu Tao, who plays him, a young man who is talented, passionate, hardworking, but very sensitive and fragile. This kind of role should not be a problem for him.
As Tong Dawei, born in 1979, although his journey was smooth in the eyes of others, Tong Dawei also experienced the two years he graduated, just like the protagonist's cynical, rebellious and confused mental journey.
Thinking of this, Tong Dawei said with a little surprise: "Senior Brother Lin, to be honest, it really surprised me that you were able to write this script. It is rare for me to describe the mentality of graduates in my freshman life so well!"
Understand that Tong Dawei also doubted the originality of the script, Lin Xingchen told Tong Dawei again about the creative inspiration he told Zhao Baogang at Mingzhu and the last time. After listening to Lin Xingchen's explanation, Tong Dawei did not continue to ask.
Close the script and said, "Director Zhao, is the female lead determined?"
Hearing Tong Dawei's inquiry, Zhao Baogang smiled and said, "What do you mean, have you taken this role? The female lead has not yet been decided. Two alternatives are Yangxue, who has worked with you for Butterfly Feifei, and the other is your senior sister Ma Yili."
It is clear that for some actors, partnering with actors is also very important. A TV series cannot be supported by a single character. This requires the joint efforts of the main and supporting roles to enrich the plot of a TV series.
With Zhao Baogang's answer, Tong Dawei didn't say much. As Zhao Baogang said, this role is indeed very good. Tong Dawei, who also needs some classic characters to increase popularity, thinks that the role of "Lu Tao" is very good.
Any young man of his age must have been as confused as Lu Tao. He can truly see himself from this drama. Moreover, the core idea of this drama is an inspirational theme, and the characters are relatively positive. Why not take it?
