Xia Yu sent the email to Cheng Zhiqing, and then turned around and received a notification tone from the email.
After receiving the script, Xia Yu didn't rush to read it. He was very anxious, but it didn't take long.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to thank Cheng Zhiqing for his efforts, she shamelessly changed her mobile phone number with this veteran in the industry, and even shamelessly said something that made Chi Chong vomit, "I'll invite Teacher Cheng to dinner when you have time!"
Cheng Zhiqing replied "Okay".
The conversation between the two came to an end.
After saving her mobile phone number, Xia Yu made an "ok" gesture to Tao Tang.
In what seemed like a brief conversation of ten minutes, Xia Yu and Taotang were on a roller coaster, with ups and downs in their moods.
That's not the case.
The first step is still preparing to win the role of the third female lead in a commercial spy film, and the second step has received a script for a female protagonist. The leap is not only huge.
Not to mention Xia Yu, Tao Tang didn't turn around at all.
Tao Tang pinched his eyebrows for a long time. He was very tired, but his eyes could not suppress the twinkling.
She said: "Send me a copy of the script later, and I'll call back the casting director of "Ode to War" first."
The two got out of the car and returned to the courtyard in a few steps. The black Yuan Bao was placed on the stone table with his hands in his hands, and he threw himself into Xia Yu's arms.
Yuanbao: "Woooooo~"
"It's business, don't make a fuss." Xia Yu, with a ruthless look on his face, picked up Yuan Bao's little head, threw it back on the stone table, and entered the house.
Tao Tang dialed twice in a row before dialing the mobile phone of the casting director of "Ode to War". Xia Yu didn't listen carefully to what he said and how to communicate.
After changing her shoes, she returned to the bedroom, turned on the computer, forwarded a copy of the script to Tao Tang, and then opened the file on her own.
Although films that are being prepared for filming are usually first approved and the outline of the script is filed. However, actors are usually only shown part of the script before they sign a contract. Xia Yu did not expect that Cheng Zhiqing would actually send the complete script.
"Drawing the Ground as a Prison".
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the tone of the entire movie is probably gloomy, giving people a heavy and depressing feeling.
Then Xia Yu discovered that this film could not be regarded as a purely artistic film. There were a lot of mixed elements in it, and it was more of a drama film.
The story begins with several missed calls and a text message from a woman named Jiang Lan.
Xia Yu hugged a pillow and sat in front of the computer from half past five to almost eight o'clock, her eyes becoming more and more subtle.
After reading the entire script, I found that what Cheng Zhiqing said was more concise and to the point.
The real theme expressed in the script is not simply 'homosexuality and schizophrenia'.
It is more about expressing a tragedy.
Lin Dan's schizophrenia in the script was not caused later, but stemmed from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) caused by childhood trauma.
Also called [childhood trauma].
The direction of the script is a bit dark and weird at the beginning, and the plot slowly unfolds, giving people a feeling of being incomprehensible and full of doubts. Until the climax when Lin Dan's mother appears, revealing the causes and consequences of the entire movie, it finally makes people feel...
It dawned on me.
The whole script doesn't have many climaxes, but after reading the whole story, one can't suppress the anger and sadness at once.
It has to be said that compared to the painless and fussy literary films made by Dai Chengbi in the past, although the story this time is still a little thin, it has reached a big level in depth.
After Xia Yu read it, he pondered for a while. This kind of subject matter was a bit unfamiliar to Xia Yu, but not that unfamiliar.
How to play a PTSD patient is undoubtedly a brand new challenge for her.
There was a knock on the door, but the door was open, and Tao Tang walked in. Compared to Xia Yu's melancholy expression, Tao Tang's expression was a little subtle and moved, but after all, he had not acted for too long, so he would not be like Xia Yu, who would be unconscious.
He was a character in the script, so he was even more admired.
"The script is indeed very good, surpassing director Dai Chengbi's previous works. As long as you grasp the scale correctly, there should be no problem in passing the review, but..."
At this point, Tao Tang paused.
After careful consideration, he analyzed it for Xia Yu, "Lin Dan is a very contradictory and complex character as a whole. In terms of age, I think your acting skills and makeup can make up for it, but Lin Dan is a PTSD patient——"
Tao Tang was about to speak but stopped.
Xia Yu shook his head and said it didn't matter.
But even if we don't mention Xia Yu's own condition, this is still a very difficult matter.
In the past, before Xia Yu's accident, Tao Tang was not worried at all. Even if Xia Yu failed to perform the role of 'Lin Dan' particularly well, as long as there were a few stunning highlight moments in the whole movie, even if
Complete.
It's different now. Once the movie is released, Xia Yu will face unprecedented harsh scrutiny and evaluation. Her outstanding advantages will be ignored by the public, and her flaws, even the slightest, will be infinitely magnified.
When the word of mouth succeeds, it will be "Dai Chengbi", and if it fails, it will be "Xia Yu". There will also be pressure from the box office.
Not to mention, there are also large-scale scenes between Lin Dan and Jiang Lan, which may become a breakthrough point for black fans to attack Xia Yu.
Xia Yu could feel Tao Tang's inner uneasiness, probably because she was concerned but confused. She said straightforwardly, "Sister Tang, even if it's not this drama, as long as I insist on coming back, any behavior I do will become a kind of resistance!"
Tao Tang was stunned, then smiled, "It's me who's in trouble!"
"Then you have to be ready, but this time, we will all bear the pressure together. You are not allowed to show off!"
"Um!"
The two communicated for a while, and Tao Tang felt that there were no major problems with the script. However, for those large-scale scenes, she insisted that some special scenes need to be completed by a stunt double. Of course, she would communicate this matter with director Dai Chengbi.
After receiving Tao Tang's approval, Xia Yu suddenly felt confident, "The first achievement is expected."
The Imperial Capital is still a little cool in April and May, but the weather is nice today, so the evening breeze carries a ray of warmth.
After eating something casually to pad his stomach, Xia Yu devoted himself to the study of the script.
She first started analyzing Lin Dan's childhood.
The family and environment she grew up in, the causes of childhood trauma, the concealment of her condition, and the final outbreak...
Never get tired of it.
Until early in the morning, Tao Tang came over to remind her that it was time to rest. She had no choice but to save the document and organize the handwritten information one by one before reluctantly leaving the computer desk.
If it weren't for the thought of contacting director Dai Chengbi tomorrow, Xia Yu wouldn't even want to sleep.
Being fully engaged, although Xia Yu was emotionally depressed, he was not mentally tired at all. On the contrary, just a few minutes after he stopped working, his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy.
He rubbed his brows, took off his makeup and took care of himself under Tao Tang's "loving" eyes, and then got into bed with Yuan Bao, who had become a little fatter, in his arms.
Before going to bed, Xia Yu didn't forget to transfer the balance of 70,000 yuan to Tao Tang's account. Tao Tang asked her to keep it for herself, but she didn't want it.
This drama was signed before her contract with Sheng Tang was terminated. When the contract was terminated, Tao Tang would definitely make up for the money.
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Public is public and private is private, don't mess around."
Tao Tang also laughed: "Sure, but if you are short of money, you can tell me and don't live apart."
Xia Yu nodded, "Okay!"
Tao Tang's worries were actually unnecessary.
The original owner originally saved 500,000 yuan for his younger brother to go to school. Before leaving Huliang, his mother returned the card intact to her.
Xia Yu didn't plan to spend the money, but he couldn't refuse his mother, so he kept it for emergencies.
Xia Yu just closed his eyes,
A familiar system prompt appeared——
"It is detected that the host's literary and artistic points have reached the first 100,000, and you can enjoy a 1.99% discount. Do you want to redeem the course and enter the teaching mode?"
