"Thank you, did you take your driver's license test?"
"Don't worry, I've got it. Do you want to have breakfast first?"
"Well, it's still early, let's eat something first."
"Okay, breakfast is on the 5th floor..."
In a hotel in Water Margin, Bao Qiang got up early. When Jiang Yan went out, Bao Qiang started working directly.
"The Swordsman" will be filmed for at least four months. During these four months, Baoqiang will replace Li Xiuxiu as Jiang Yan's first assistant. In addition to being an assistant, he will also participate in other tasks on the crew, such as acting as a stand-in, and on-set management.
, if you are lucky, you might be able to get a small role here with Big Beard.
Li Xiuxiu went back to Xingchenhai to assist Wu Yong and work with other artists at the same time.
Jiang Yan has gone around and completed many projects these days, and they all need to be implemented one by one. It is obviously inappropriate for Li Xiuxiu to follow her again.
Jiang Yan asked Bao Qiang to come as his assistant for a simple reason. In addition to needing an assistant, he also felt that it was almost time for Bao Qiang to make his debut.
A few days ago, Liu Qingbang's "Sacred Tree" won the award in the seventh "October" Literary Award.
This work was the original novel for Bao Qiang's big screen debut "The Blind Shaft".
Xingchenhai owns the copyright of "Sacred Tree", so "Blind Shaft" is about to be put on the agenda.
Then when this project ends, Baoqiang will start his career in the entertainment industry.
Regarding such a job change, Baoqiang himself also understood his elder brother's intention. He knew that this was the last hurdle before his official debut.
So Baoqiang is naturally very happy. After all, I don't know how he got here this year.
He works as a group performer and works various jobs, and it doesn't matter what he wants to do. From time to time, Jiang Yan will designate a certain place to do a certain job. Not only that, he also has to read various books and write various summaries while working.
Sometimes he is very confused, why did I offend my elder brother? My elder brother is torturing him as if he is taking revenge on him.
There were several times when Baoqiang thought he might as well just run home.
But compared to home, Xingchenhai is still warmer, because his mother will really beat him.
Fortunately, he has finally gotten through this kind of life after a year, and he has indeed gained a lot of experience. Therefore, he is full of confidence in his official debut in the future, so he is very motivated to work.
And this is also reflected in the fact that within three days of his arrival on the set, he basically found out most of the situation in the set. He didn't know everything about the overt and covert information, but he could still tell a few things.
.
Which group leader knows whom, whose sister-in-law is the prop, which actor got together with whom, etc.
"The Swordsman" has already started filming for a week before today, and there are already a lot of interesting things going on.
Jiang Yan listened with great interest while eating breakfast. He did not hate these things. After all, it would happen to any crew. It would be useless to intervene. On the contrary, it would make people think you are sick.
In addition, hearing more about these things will also help to understand the crew members, after all, they will be working together for at least the next four months.
And sometimes, if you encounter any trouble, you will be more confident in handling it if you know some of the internal conditions.
Just as he was thinking about it, Baoqiang then mentioned something that he found troublesome:
"The guy who plays Yue Buqun seems to have some objections to you. He probably thinks that the whole crew has been waiting for you for so long, and he thinks you are acting like a big star."
Yue Buqun is played by Wei Zi in the original version. This is an important role and the actor has some weight.
After hearing this, Jiang Yan asked directly: "Where are the other people? How many of them have opinions?"
"It's not much. Brother, don't worry. Everyone understands that you are here to bring glory to the country after all. You will know when you go to the set later. Many people are waiting for your autograph." Baoqiang smiled proudly.
replied.
After hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded, as long as everyone is sensible. As for Wei Zi's thoughts, Jiang Yan doesn't care. After all, he can really stand up for this matter.
Of course, it is an objective fact that the crew has been delayed until now, and it is also a fact that I joined the crew late, so no matter how adequate the management is, some work that needs to be done still has to be done.
So Jiang Yan asked: "Are those things ready?"
"Everything is ready, one for each person." Baoqiang answered immediately, but after finishing speaking, he asked, "Isn't it too expensive? One of them costs several thousand."
Jiang Yan answered without even raising his head: "The cost is 450 per unit."
"...Brother, you are so profitable!"
"That's right, otherwise I can be your big brother?" Jiang Yan smiled, then after finishing the last bun, he went directly to the bearded room.
The original heroine of "The Swordsman" was Xu Qing, but due to schedule changes and some unspeakable reasons, Xu Qing could only regretfully break her leg and miss out on the role.
For Jiang Yan, it is probably a pity that Xu Qing will not play Ren Yingying.
However, the life of this book is very important, and who can guarantee that no one can act better than her? So I just changed it. Although there were some changes in funding, Jiang Yan didn't care, he was worthy of anyone.
This is just a problem for new candidates.
"Let's see, which one of these do you like?"
In Big Beard's room, Big Beard took out several pieces of information and asked Jiang Yan for his opinion like a matchmaker.
"Have you already auditioned?" Jiang Yan asked.
"There are several auditions. Some are submitted by the agency, and some are submitted by the people below. You know, you don't have to worry about anything else. It mainly depends on your opinion."
"Don't, it would be bad if this spread."
"What's the point of this? You are the protagonist. The protagonist's opinion must be considered."
"Then you are still a producer. If you say anything, don't I have to listen to you?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Others are just fine. How can you do the same? Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Let's take a look. Whichever one you like, I will let her come. Ren Yingying will join the team in one month. Now,
It should be enough to spend some time practicing martial arts..."
While the two were talking, Jiang Yan also picked up the information and looked through it.
This time, the heroine suddenly became vacant. In fact, Jiang Yan’s first thought was to be an artist from Stars and Seas.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unfortunately, there are too many projects in Stars and Seas, and everyone has no schedule.
Zhou Zhiruo was filming "Xinchu Liuxiang" in Wanwan. It had just started filming, so there was no schedule, and she was not suitable.
Lizi is available, but she is not suitable for Ren Yingying, and "Love Through Time" will start filming after the new year, so she has no chance.
The same goes for Chen Hao. "Li Wei is an Official" is still being filmed, and she has several other projects after that, but they are also unavailable.
Not to mention Li Binbin, her schedule is the same as Jiang Yan's until the end of next year.
The third wife, Jia Jingwen, is actually very suitable. She holds her acting skills, image and temperament. But on the one hand, she has reaped dividends in Wanwan's "Flying Dragon in the Sky", and after finishing it, she will play Nian Nujiao in "Emperor of the Han Dynasty". She has agreed to break the contract.
Not suitable.
Even if she breaks the contract, she will most likely not be able to act, because this is a Yang TV drama, and the requirement is to be a mainland actor from Yishui. Jia Jingwen is from Wanwan, so it is a pity.
There is also Liu Yan, forget it, let alone the image problem, she can't even act now. As for Sister Yu, let's not talk about the schedule, and the image is definitely not suitable.
Therefore, such a lucrative position can only be taken advantage of by outsiders.
"You don't know, after Ren Yingying was released, I could answer 100 calls a day, and the people here are all selected from thousands of people." Zhang Bearded said with emotion.
"It proves that your beard is very attractive." Jiang Yan flipped through dozens of pages of information and said with a smile.
"Come on, who doesn't know that this is all for you?"
"I hear there is resentment in your words. Why, you didn't Qiancheng?"
"Tsk, am I that kind of person?" The bearded man rolled his eyes, then pointed at the first page of the information in Jiang Yan's hand and changed the subject, "Can you think of this?"
"Ning Jing, I know her, but I don't think it's appropriate. She's suitable for a sexy style. If Ren Yingying goes for a sexy style, the show will be over."
"What about this?"
"Little Yanzi? No, I don't like her."
"What's wrong with her?"
"It's nothing, I just don't like it."
"Don't be biased."
"Okay, then ask her if she has a schedule?"
"...This really doesn't happen. "Love in the Rain" is already being filmed... Let's make the next one, eh, this one is pretty good!"
"Fan Bayi? Is this temperament suitable for Ren Yingying?"
"You are so heartless. Your god-sister will be eliminated as soon as she says to be eliminated."
"Fuck sister?"
"Yes, she said it herself." The bearded man smiled evilly.
Jiang Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Big Beard, please be more serious. We are casting, can you give me a reliable recommendation?"
"Okay, okay..."
After some testing, Big Beard finally knew that Jiang Yan really had no ideas in this regard, so the candidates he recommended next became more reliable.
Ren Yingying in "The Swordsman" has been played by many famous actors, including Rosamund Kwan, Anita Yuen, Zhang Min, etc.
Each version has its own characteristics. To say who is good and who is bad, you still have to analyze it according to the script.
Generally speaking, in the current version of the script, Jiang Yan still thinks that Xu Qing is the most suitable.
But again, he was afraid of some unspeakable reasons, so he had to give up.
So when it comes to choosing among the remaining people, the difference is actually not that big.
After finally eliminating those whose image and acting skills did not meet the requirements, as well as candidates recommended through various special channels, there were only 5 people left on the table, and these 5 people did not have Xingchenhai's own family, and their image and temperament were relatively good.
It fits, so Jiang Yan is a little careless in selecting people.
Anyway, it’s the same for anyone. As long as she has a good image, the right temperament, and is willing to work hard, Jiang Yan can also take her flying.
Zhang Beard actually had the same idea. He thought Xu Qing was very suitable, but other than Xu Qing, the gap seemed really small.
So in the end, the two decided to blindly audition and choose which one is which. Anyway, there is still one month of training before officially joining the group. If the performance is not good this month, then they will change.
Moreover, changing the heroine may be a big deal in other dramas, but in this drama, Jiang Yan is enough, and there is really no big problem in who to choose as the heroine.
After deciding, Jiang Yan chose first. He pulled out the information and looked at it: "Mr. Zhou? This is my buddy, but she doesn't seem to have time."
"Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" will start shooting in Hengdian in a few days. Mr. Zhou is the protagonist, and the schedule is bumped again.
The bearded man is also helpless. Mr. Zhou, an actor in the industry, is as famous as Jiang Yan. They are both the kind of super spiritual ones who are happy to be used by anyone. It's a pity that there is no schedule.
Hey, if I had known that Xu Qing would be knocked out in advance, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble.
So the final candidate is basically on Big Beard's side.
The bearded man blindly picked one and opened it. Jiang Yan nodded directly: "It turns out to be her."
