Chapter 178 The benchmark for sweet dramas, the second male lead Wang Kai
The original title of "Shanshan Comes to Eat" was "Shanshan Comes to Eat". It was serialized in 2007 and has a small number of words, only 120,000 words.
The story is very simple, just a very typical sweet story about a domineering president and the "ugly duckling".
The heroine Xue Shanshan is a new employee of Feng Teng Group. She and the sister of Feng Teng, the boss of Feng Teng Group, are both of panda blood.
When the boss's sister gave birth, she suffered from severe labor bleeding and urgent need for blood transfusion. The hospital's blood bank was insufficient, so Feng Teng and others contacted Xue Shanshan, who had filled out blood type information in the company.
After saving his sister, with the help of his sister, the big boss treated Xue Shanshan to dinner every day as compensation and thanks.
During this time, after getting along for a long time, the two fell in love with each other for a long time. After some small pull, they finally came together.
The whole drama has a relaxed and warm style, with basically no sad points and no major conflicts. The main focus is on the interaction between the male and female protagonists.
Therefore, the key to this drama is the casting, especially the female protagonist, who is different from the earlier heroines who were slightly "sharp". By exchanging blows with the male protagonist, the domineering president "Woman, you caught my attention".
Although Xue Shanshan is lively and cheerful, taking the route of an ordinary girl, she is relatively "cowardly" when facing the male protagonist. She has a style of being submissive on the surface but complaining on the inside, which makes her more real and cute.
This is even more of a test for casting. If the actor is not likable, then the character will easily go off track, or even affect the tone of the entire drama.
Rumor has it that in his previous life, Xiao Zhao acted in "Shanshan Is Coming", but the original author did not support it. He seemed to prefer Yang Tianbao, who was famous for "Running Man" at that time.
Although Xiao Zhao's acting skills are also higher than those of the short ones, he can still beat Yang Tianbao.
Not to mention she is the most suitable sweet girl character in "Shanshan is Coming". There are few in the entire entertainment industry who are better than her.
If Yang Tianbao was really cast, half of this drama would be ruined. There would be no need to call it "Shan Shan Is Coming", but "Shan Shan Staring" instead.
I don’t know if this rumor is true or not, but the author of the original work is probably really dissatisfied with the casting, and even more dissatisfied with the fact that the producer didn’t notify her.
Later, "Shanshan Is Coming" became a hit, and the author's voice increased, and he participated in the screenwriting and casting work of "Why Shengxiaomo" and "A Slight Smile Is Alluring".
It is said that Sister Shuangzi is highly recommended by the author, and it is also said that the author recommends the movie version of Yang Tianbao.
But no matter which version it is, it is not Bei Weiwei that the public is more optimistic about.
It has been verified again that the author is just a book writer, so he doesn’t know anything about novels...
However, in Wei Yang's view, these rumors are actually just that. Casting matters have little to do with the author.
He himself has been a screenwriter and film and television executive for more than ten years in his previous life, and has also dealt with many Internet giants. In this life, he is the boss of a film and television company, and has personally written two online novels, "East Palace" and "Shanshan Is Coming".
project.
Most people just listen to what people say about the author kissing a certain actor. I don’t deny that some cases do happen, but for the most part, the production team still has the final say.
For example, in "East Palace", Wei Yang invested 50 million, and the author said he wanted to cast so-and-so, would he give up his own newcomer to favor another one?
For most online novels, as long as the copyright is sold, they will have nothing to do with the author at all.
Even Tiancan Tudou can only laugh at himself on Weibo: "Fighting energy turns into a horse".
A top online reform master like Gu Man may have some say, but she definitely cannot have the final say on the heroine alone.
Even if she chose Sister Shuangzi and Yang Tianbao, it was because they were famous at that time and she would have tried other newcomers.
Therefore, many times, the so-called "Mom's Appointment" in the adaptation of online novels and dramas is that the actors find marketing accounts to send out press releases to prove that they are "acting in their true colors". Fans will then brag about how outstanding my brothers and sisters are, and they were spotted by the author at a glance.
, I read the novel, it’s really a good match, bala bala.
Or maybe the crew wanted to please the fans of the original work, so they yelled and told everyone that the actors were chosen by the author, and it would definitely look good when filmed.
What can the author say? He took all the money and shouted, "Teacher, teacher, if you have money and fans, don't care what you think in your heart, just ask: this is [something in my heart]"......
Therefore, under the contact of Wei Yang, the original author who was not satisfied with the casting of "Shanshan is Coming" in his previous life posted a special Weibo post to support Zhao Liying.
It probably means that Zhao Liying is cute and lively, just like Xue Shanshan in her imagination. Xiao Zhao still interacts with her enthusiastically on Weibo and even called her privately to ask for advice on the setting of this character.
So Wei Yang once wondered how the two people who were chatting passionately at this time would feel if they learned about the entanglement in the original time and space.
However, it was not only Xiao Zhao who called Gu Man, the author of the original work, but also Wei Yang sometimes.
The original novel is too short and only revolves around a few small plots and some daily routines. The TV series adaptation must be expanded.
Although Gu Man did not directly participate in the screenwriting work, the crew still solicited a lot of suggestions when adapting the script.
The Douban score of the original version of "Shan Shan Is Coming" is even higher than that of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo", which shows that the adaptation is still very good, but Wei Yang felt that some plots were still a bit oily and draggy, so he wanted to make it more refreshing and natural.
Wei Yang personally named the chief screenwriter, and the original author Gu Man added a screenwriter/script consultant, who will be marked separately in the future to express his gratitude.
For this drama, Wei Yang still attaches great importance to it. On the one hand, he must praise Xiao Zhao, and on the other hand, he must not ruin his own brand.
The last time "My Love from the Star" was so successful!
Its performance, reputation, and influence are among the best in Chinese, and it even ranks among the top in Asia. In the words of some fans, this drama's status among idol dramas is not about ranking, but sitting in the judges' seat to comment.
This may be an exaggeration, but the ceiling of modern idol dramas cannot be escaped.
After all, "East Palace" is a different theme. Even if it hits the market, it will not affect Wei Yang's basic base, but Wei Yang really can't lose face in the modern idol drama.
Therefore, in Wei Yang's heart, "Shanshan Is Here" must not stretch the hips. Even if it does not reach the level of "My Love from the Star", it must become the benchmark for sweet dramas classified by current idols...
…
In the hospital scene, Wei Yang and Xiao Zhao were walking around, and beside them was Wang Kai, the second male lead of the crew.
This male lead is a semi-original character. There is this character in the novel. Just to mention briefly, the TV series version has a lot of supplements and fleshing out. He can be regarded as a good brother of the male protagonist. During this period, he repeatedly assisted the male and female protagonists, and finally took over the female lead.
.
The first person to play this role was Lin Gengxin from The Blue Whale, but later Wei Yang felt that Lin was too immature and could not play the role of an elite executive as the second male lead.
Lin Gengxin was not suitable, and Qiao Zhenyu and Li Jiahang didn't have time, so they had to look outside. Wei Yang looked around and took a fancy to the unknown, cheap and easy-to-use Wang Kai.
This guy plays such a handsome and warm-hearted elite executive. It can be said that he has a good job.
Wei Yang asked him to star, and Blue Whale also won a small favor from Huayi, allowing Zhao Ji to appear in "Tangshan Earthquake".
As a movie that Feng Pants boasts has a box office of over 500 million, "Tangshan Earthquake" is currently the most watched project in the Chinese film industry, and it is almost one of them.
Maybe Wei Yang can treat Wei Yang calmly, but there is still a lot of temptation for newcomers like Zhao Ji and others, even if it is just a small supporting role with not much role.
"Don't pick up the scene so quickly for a while, take it slow and let the emotions progress..."
Wei Yang tells Xiao Zhao a play, and everyone around him, including director Liu Junjie, takes it for granted.
In the past, when he was in "My Love from the Star" and "East Palace", Boss Wei often gave lectures to the actors and even gave step-by-step demonstrations.
At first, Liu Junjie was still discussing things together, but later he saw that the effect of Wei Yang's work was really good, so he completely let it go, happy to have someone else do it for him, and feel relaxed on his own.
Although Xiao Zhao has not filmed a few scenes with Wei Yang, he has received small class education in private and has seen and heard some situations, so he is not surprised at all.
Only Wang Kai, who was witnessing it for the first time, felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that Wei Yang was the screenwriter and boss, but he didn't expect that Wei Yang would also take on some on-site director duties.
In the past, when filming, the director and assistant director would explain the scenes. There were not many senior actors who were good teachers. They talked incessantly like this. It was too conspicuous and offended. If you want to ask anything, you can talk privately.
However, Wang Kai also understands that every crew has a rule, do as the Romans do.
He waited until Wei Yang finished speaking to Xiao Zhao Baba, and was about to listen to Wei Yang teach him a lesson, but the latter glanced at him and said something.
"Pay attention to the character's characteristics and coordinate well."
Then it was over, which simply made Wang Kai very confused, and even Xiao Zhao was a little confused.
"Why did you nag me for so long? You just said a few words to him."
Because you are good at it and others are not!
But if he said these words, he would not be able to rest well tonight, so the words came to his lips.
"Except for you, why should I worry so much about other actors? If anything happens, let the director scold them."
Xiao Zhao happily went to the waiting room to prepare for the show, but Wei Yang was a little tired.
Unlike Nazha, who is heartless and cannot be beaten away, Xiao Zhao has a strong self-esteem, and soft methods are more effective than hard ones.
Of course, Boss Wei would never admit it. He was afraid that Xiao Zhao would be scolded and the little girl would go crazy.
Although the split iron rod brought by his father-in-law was not allowed to be taken away during the security check, Xiao Zhao reluctantly stayed at her parents' house.
But when she was living alone in Baoshan, she occasionally felt insecure, so she got a baseball bat while Wei Yang wasn't paying attention.
The stick is made of wood, but there are a few nails embedded in it. They are still rusty nails and have a tetanus effect...
Therefore, Wei Yang always felt that Nazha's scolding education method was too rough and not suitable for Xiao Zhao, so he talked to him more gently and patiently.
Well, this is not cowardice, it is all about teaching students in accordance with their aptitude!
Wei Yang's hard work was not in vain. Xiao Zhao already fit the role and had some talents. He interpreted the role of Xue Shanshan very well, full of energy and agility.
Wang Kai did not disappoint Wei Yang. Although he did not accept the guidance of Boss Wei, he still performed well.
The hospital scene was originally scheduled to be shot in two days, but today it was almost completed in one day.
The progress was so smooth that Boss Wei, who was tortured in "East Palace", couldn't help crying.
