We gathered together again in the middle of the night, eating barbecue and laughing and talking about the past, unaware of the passage of time.
It's rare for friends to meet together, and they have a strong desire to chat and communicate, but they can't have enough fun in a short period of time.
The joyful atmosphere of Mom's birthday continued until three or four in the morning. Although everyone was still full of enthusiasm, due to fatigue and embarrassment, Wang Jinhua said "Let's meet again later", which brought the birthday party to an end.
Going back to each home means returning to your own life trajectory, and today's joy has turned into a node and a memory.
When the couple woke up from a dream, the sun was already shining brightly, and the warm and unrestrained sunshine in summer lit up the entire bedroom.
"They are really good at drinking, and I'm convinced." Liu Yifei sat up from the bed, with some sleepiness on her face.
Thinking of yesterday's situation where she drank white wine first, then had a barbecue at night, then drank beer, and then drank red wine after finishing the beer. She really admired Hu Jun, Li Li, and others, and "massive" was not enough to describe their drinking capacity.
Fortunately, Sister Hua, the eldest sister, was there to slow down the drinking speed of those "wine barrels", thus preventing her and Chu Xuan from getting drunk.
"Their drinking capacity, I have never seen them drunk in so many years." Chu Xuan said, lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "Get up, grandma and the others should have woken up long ago. Go over and say hello, I will take a shower first.
Bath, give Sister Chongcheng a call and make an appointment to visit Century Culture. Ask Sister Chongcheng how she is doing."
"Okay." Liu Yifei leaned back on the bed, picked up the mobile phone under the pillow and made a call to Li Congcheng.
Knowing that Li Zhengyi was waiting to come home to look for them, she hung up the phone, got out of bed, opened the closet and looked for clothes.
After Chu Xuan came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, she walked into the bathroom to take a bath too.
After Chu Xuan got dressed, he packed up the clothes that he and his wife needed to change, then turned into a good family man and took the initiative to go to the balcony next door to wash.
As Wang Jinhua knows about his younger brother, he doesn't know how to do anything when he is at home alone, but when his wife is here, he will do housework very diligently without saying anything.
This is a behavior caused by a man who wants to express his psychological state under the stimulation of the novelty brought by his new identity shortly after getting married.
Maybe after next year's wedding, Chu Xuan's desire to express himself will be even stronger.
However, as the marriage continues, can Chu Xuan continue to perform so well? This is unknown, and it also depends on whether Liu Yifei has a good way of controlling her husband.
"Mom, happy second birthday."
When the couple arrived at the small villa, my mother was already cooking noodles in the kitchen, and my aunt and uncle were helping to make the dough and mix the sauce ingredients.
Hearing her daughter say "Happy birthday to the next day" and such an ingenious greeting made Liu Xiaoli laugh: "Don't do it like this next time, it's so troublesome, it's really..."
"Are you happy then?" Liu Yifei then hugged her mother and asked, lying on his shoulder.
"Happy, happy~" Liu Xiaoli catered to her daughter with a doting tone.
The aunt and uncle felt the warmth between mother and daughter, and walked out holding noodles with warm faces.
Sister Hua had just woken up and was chatting with her family in the living room. She also came over specially to have breakfast and lunch.
After a while, Li Congcheng also came to the door in time for the meal, and had a meal of rich scallion oil noodles with the whole family.
After dinner, Wang Jinhua set off to the company. The couple took her cousin and Li Congchen to Century Culture, while Liu Xiaoli called people from the company to dismantle the equipment and devices on the lawn and had to stay at home, and the family prepared to play mahjong.
Live today.
In response to this, Liu Xiaoli sighed and complained: "Those things will probably take a long time to be dismantled, and you called your family over and didn't accompany you. You all asked me to deal with the aftermath for you. In other words, you made me happy yesterday, otherwise you would have to say a lot."
A few words for you."
Under the snickers of Li Zhengtong and his cousin, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked a little embarrassed and fled to the parking garage. They drove to the door and took the two of them straight to the Brilliant Era Century Culture.
As early as the end of last year when the company was planning for 2009, these five dramas were scheduled to be produced: "Star You", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Zhu Xian 2", "Bu Bu Jing Xin", and "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of the Sky"
Among this year's top five drama projects.
At present, "Star You" has been completed, "Step by Step" and "Xuanyuan Sword" are also on track and are being filmed. Only "Zhu Xian 2" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are still in the preparation stage, and the progress seems to be a little slow.
Among them, "Zhu Xian 2" is okay. The problem lies in the special effects, script and scenes. It does not mean that the progress is not smooth, it just needs to spend more time, and it is only a matter of time before it starts.
Only "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has a slightly bigger problem. The images and characteristics of the "iron triangle" Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and Shirley Yang in the original work are too distinct, and the entire work revolves around these three people.
Speaking of it, and the story frame is designed so that the characters drive the plot.
So it is obvious that the core of this work is the characters, and the plot is the subplot derived from the characters.
In short, the audience looks at the characters first and then the plot.
To be clear, if the characters don't work, then the plot doesn't work.
In this case, if you want to turn the original work into a script, it is best to decide on the actors in advance, and then adapt some tailor-made ones that fit the style of the original work based on the actor's performance style and literary and martial arts abilities that suit the role.
The plot and corresponding martial arts actions are designed to successfully complete the script creation.
For Bright Era, this is not a big problem. Whether it is the script first and then the actors or the actors first and then the script, I believe that with the company's energy and influence, it will not be difficult to accurately find actors who can match the roles.
However, if you make it more difficult for yourself, it will be really difficult.
Liu Ye plays Hu Bayi?
Jiang Wu plays Fatty Wang?
Li Zhengtong plays Shirley Yang?
Xia Yu plays the role of Da Jinya?
Chu Xuan plays the role of Partridge Whistle in the follow-up?
Liu Yifei plays the partridge whistle's junior sister Hua Ling?
A group of people came to the company's office and learned about the general situation. Li Zhengyi immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "Who came up with this cast?"
She didn't know what the story of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was about, nor what character Shirley Yang was, but when she heard Li He and Kong Sheng share their thoughts, she was both amused and speechless.
.
Liu Ye, Jiang Wu and Xia Yu are the three best actors.
She is a movie queen.
Although Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are not as successful as Best Actor and Best Actress in movies, they are the most popular in China.
It is very difficult to bring a group of people like them together in a drama. After all, they are all very famous people. When they are in the same frame, it is easy to blur the priorities, making it difficult for a single actor to benefit from the maximum.
Furthermore, I heard from them that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is going to be turned into an IP drama, not just one or two, but seemingly seven or eight. What does this mean? Are they going to be bound together for more than ten years?
Not to mention it is a fantasy, in American dramas there have been many actual situations where actors have been tied together for many years, and the actors have all benefited a lot. But American dramas are American dramas after all, and they are an ecosystem derived from the Western environment.
chain.
But such a situation is difficult to happen in China. The main reason is that domestic actors want to develop in multiple directions, and no one wants to spend so much time immersed in just one drama.
Therefore, Li Zhengyi just wants to say that although this cast is explosive, it is just a beautiful imagination after all.
"Teacher Zhang suggested it." Kong Sheng said with a smile, and glanced at Zhang Muye, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, and was also the original author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" Tian Xia Ba Sing.
Zhang Muye was a little embarrassed. After he was invited to the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" crew as one of the script coordinators at the beginning of the year, he felt that his work could be adapted into a film and television by a big company, and that he, the original author, was so respected that he was invited to participate.
I am extremely happy and honored to be the main creative artist.
For several months, he exchanged creative ideas with directors Kong Sheng and Liu Yi and other gold medal screenwriting teachers. They are all people with profound cultural backgrounds. There were many sparks during the exchanges. This experience also made him cherish and feel more comfortable.
It is also his artistic pursuit.
He was excited when he heard that Li He and Kong Sheng said that his "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" would be turned into an IP series, and that it would be in line with the development plan of the special effects industry in the Brilliant Era.
It is really a sense of accomplishment to have your work appreciated and valued so much.
At the beginning of writing this work, in order to portray the protagonist group well, I would always imagine characters that exist in reality to deepen the sense of immersion. This is also the writing idea of many excellent authors in portraying characters.
Based on this idea, the prototype of Hu Bayi in his novel is Liu Ye. The "Lan Yu" played by Liu Ye and Hu Jun impressed him deeply. Liu Ye's dejection, melancholy and a bit of a literati during the cultural reform period
The breath was exactly the same as the Hu Bayi he imagined.
The same goes for Jiang Wu, who is slightly chubby and has the same aura of being born in the Cultural Reform era as Hu Bayi, coupled with the temperament and acting skills of being funny but not annoying, and seeking death but not annoying, this is his Fatty Wang
.
Let’s look at the character of Shirley Yang. In the Millennium movie "Bao Qingtian" starring Li Zhengtong and Ren Quan, Li Zhengtong played Ling Chuchu, who looked cool, playful, extraordinary, and had an above-average IQ.
This is the setting of the character Shirley Yang in his works.
As for the interspersed character Partridge Whistle, he was not imagining Chu Xuan at first. Chu Xuan was just beginning to develop at that time. He was imagining Gu Tianle, and more in depth, he was imagining Yang Guo.
Yang Guo is a chivalrous and righteous man who sticks to his heart. As the best master in the world, he is very cool and handsome, but he also seems to be both good and evil. This is the design idea of the character Partridge Whistle in his works.
Writing along this line of thinking, the character Partridge Whistle gradually became the number one kung fu player in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", completely defeating the three protagonists Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang and Shirley Yang. This character was also adopted by him
It's written very martially.
He originally imagined Yang Guo as Louis Koo, but it wasn't until Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 2006 that it became a phenomenon-level TV series. Chu Xuan's style of playing Yang Guo made him even more attracted to him.
The wise appreciate it, the fool compares it.
It’s not that Chu Xuan’s performance is better than that of Louis Coo, but from an image point of view, Louis Coo’s inexplicable darkening affected his sense of immersion, while Chu Xuan’s normal yellow skin and angular and resolute face may have been influenced by that time.
Under the influence of a large amount of publicity, his imagination of Partridge Whistle slowly changed from Gu Tianle to Chu Xuan.
When I think of Chu Xuan, I naturally think of Liu Yifei. These two are matched, and it is difficult to think of one of them without making people subconsciously think of the other.
So... eh? Doesn't Partridge Whistle have a junior sister, Hua Ling? She is pure and beautiful, has extraordinary skills, is very dependent on Partridge Whistle, and only runs after it. Isn't this the combination of Zhao Ling'er and Xiao Longnu?
With this sense of character immersion and imagination, once an inherent train of thought is formed, it is difficult to change it.
In the past two months, when I was doing script outline design, scene composition, etc., I casually chatted about actors, and he expressed his thoughts without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, Li He, Kong Sheng, Liu Yi and other teachers' eyes lit up, and they all thought it was good.
After all, anyone who has an in-depth understanding of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" can easily resonate with him and quickly find the commonalities between the character and the actor.
However, he also knows that this is unlikely to become reality. After all, the actors he imagined are all big names, so this is quite difficult.
Today, Director Kong Sheng and I came to Century Culture to chat with Li He. It happened that the three people involved in the imaginary cast list came, and Kong Sheng and Li He spoke out his thoughts on the selection of actors. This made
He was a little embarrassed, a little embarrassed, but he still had a strong sense of expectation.
Dreams are hard to come true, but what if?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Teacher Zhang is very pursuing, I appreciate it very much." Chu Xuan looked at Zhang Muye and couldn't help laughing.
Just looking at the main cast group, he and Liu Yifei's "Legend of Red Flame" have the right to join, Qiao Zhenyu, and Yang Rong have joined the three first-line actors, which is luxurious enough, but compared to the current cast, it really pales in comparison.
Liu Ye, Jiang Wu, Li Zhengtong, and Xia Yu are the four great actors and actresses, plus he and Liu Yifei are co-starring in a series. In this era of traffic, it is no exaggeration to say that the impact this lineup has caused
It’s the rhythm of being shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
I don’t say whether it can be done, but at least it shows that Zhang Muye, the original author, is very ambitious.
He also understands very well that it is normal for a work he has written to be performed by a group of actors he thinks is suitable.
"Partridge Whistle appeared as a supporting role in "Longling Labyrinth" and as the protagonist and junior sister Hua Ling in "Angry Sunny Xiangxi"." Liu Yifei turned over the information in her hand and said to Chu Xuan with some interest: "This is also
Not bad, it seems quite interesting to just act in one or two of them, and to interpret the role in a new capacity as a senior brother and junior sister."
It doesn't matter to her whether he is the supporting actor or the main actor. If the cast just mentioned can be established, with the four major movie kings and queens taking the lead, then it would be appropriate for him to play a supporting role with Chu Xuan. She is more interested in playing a supporting role with Chu Xuan.
Xuan's new identity is senior brother and junior sister, which is also a role relationship they have never experienced before.
Moreover, the company wants to create IP to explore the derivative value of the film and television industry. First, it is in line with the company's profit model that is independent of the movie box office and TV series copyrights are relatively single and heavily dependent. Therefore, it has the demand and plan to develop derivative industries such as games, peripherals, literature, etc.; second, it is
In line with the company's desire to develop special effects in film and television industrialization, it needs to conduct experiments with special effects film and television dramas in order to gain more practical experience.
Then it would be nice for her and Chu Xuan to join in and play two interesting roles, while also helping their own careers.
"Isn't it that we are filming "The Ancient City" now? The sequel will be released in a few years no matter what, so is it too early for me and Liu Yifei to play these two roles?" Chu Xuan looked through the information.
Kong Sheng nodded and said with great interest: "Teacher Zhang said that in a few years you will be almost 30 years old, and your temperament and aura will be more condensed by then, and it will be perfect to play Partridge Whistle again.
"
Hearing this, Chu Xuan was dumbfounded, but also full of fun: "Teacher Zhang, thank you for bringing me a plan for my future acting career."
Liu Yifei also laughed for a moment. She thought she would be able to participate as a supporting role this year, but she didn't know she would have to wait until a few years before she can act. This is really funny.
Zhang Muye was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. He just said that his thoughts were too good, and it seemed that he was probably out of luck now...
