How could Luo Yonghao pack his bags and leave at this juncture? It's not his style to burn bridges.
Besides, Luo Yonghao is not weak. Although he is far inferior to famous directors, he is considered to be one of the good ones in the field of TV dramas.
Currently, the company only has two directors. Lu Yang will be working on a movie after directing Xiao Ao, and we have to rely on Luo Yonghao for the remaining dramas.
Three days later, Fang Jing Studio, Magic City.
Zhang Mingen, Ying Haoming, and Li Yitong each took pictures in ancient costumes, changing one outfit after another.
Fang Jing dragged his chin and said nothing. He kept thinking. He waved from time to time and asked the staff to give them a few lines.
"Brother Ming, I feel a little panicked. I have tried several roles, but Mr. Fang has never been satisfied."
In the dressing room, Zhang Mingen said while changing clothes.
The lines given by Fang Jing were "Swordsman". He tried them all from the first to the fifth and sixth men. The two sensitive people felt that the opportunity was coming at the first time.
God knows how excited Zhang Mingen was when he got the lines for the role of Linghu Chong.
He didn't say that he had read all of Fang Jing's novel, but he still knew what it was about in general, and Linghu Chong was the protagonist.
He debuted as the first male lead, I think this is the routine of Destiny's Child!
But after auditioning for the role, King poured some cold water on him and continued to audition. It was obvious that he was not satisfied, otherwise he would have made a decision long ago.
"Calm down." Ying Haoming pulled back his waist-length hair and quickly buttoned up his clothes, "Isn't this good? Swordsman was written by Mr. Fang. He knows exactly what role you can play."
"I've tried so many times and still haven't made a decision, which means I'm looking for a role that's tailor-made for you."
"Isn't he handsome?" After putting on his clothes and flicking his hair, Ying Haoming made a scissor hand gesture in front of the mirror and said to himself: "He's so handsome."
"Okay, stop being narcissistic, Mr. Fang is still waiting."
This time Zhang Mingen appeared in white clothes and a scholar's hat on his head, looking elegant and elegant.
His eyes lit up, Fang Jing said to the makeup artist standing aside: "Plutter your eyebrows, sword eyebrows, and add a white fan."
Zhang Mingen went to the side to trim his eyebrows. Ying Haoming stood up without waiting for Fang Jing to shout, and consciously turned his back left and right.
"Read the lines again!" Fang Jing handed over a piece of paper.
"Hey, little lady, you're lucky to have met me today. I've tried all kinds of women in the world, but I haven't tasted nuns yet, so I'd like to take advantage of you."
"What, don't want it? Hahaha! If a woman says she doesn't want it, then she wants it."
At this moment, Ying Haoming's tone sounded like that of a lewd thief, and in conjunction with his actions of stroking his chin, one would want to beat him up just by looking at him.
"Do you know what kind of character this is?" Fang Jing asked with interest, narrowing his eyes.
"It should be Tian Boguang!"
When Ying Haoming heard that the company was going to make Swordsman, he bought the original work and read it.
As soon as he saw the lines, his first reaction was that he knew it was Tian Boguang. Combined with the description in the book, he naturally showed the image of a lewd thief.
"How do you understand this character?"
There was no immediate answer. After thinking for a while, Ying Haoming tried to say: "A capable old Jianghu has obvious advantages and disadvantages. Although he is lustful, he knows how to advance and retreat and is loyal."
To be honest, Mitsuda Hakumitsu's character image is very thin, and his behavior is very contradictory. He is both good and evil. The good way shouts to kill him, and the villain does not keep him.
As a prostitute, it is a heinous crime to insult good women and destroy people's innocence, but when facing Linghu Chong, he values love and justice.
"Then do you think he is a good guy or a bad guy?"
"Hey, only children can tell right from wrong. There is no right or wrong in the adult world."
Fang Jing nodded appreciatively, "Tian Boguang, you act. I'll get the script later and read the original work. If you have any ideas, talk to the screenwriter."
Ying Haoming's ideas coincided with Fang Jing's. Jianghu people act but speak with swords. If they disagree, blood will be splashed three feet away. How can there be so much right and wrong?
If people in Jianghu abide by the law and are reasonable, then they are not Jianghu people.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang!" Ying Haoming said proudly and walked away.
There are not many outstanding male characters in "Swordsman", only three or five, and naturally they are Yue Buqun, Lin Pingzhi, and Linghu Chong.
Following closely behind are Tian Boguang, Zuo Lengchan, Shaolin Wudang, the villain, and others.
Ying Haoming was already satisfied with being able to land the role of Tian Boguang. Considering his age, he was a bit young to play the heads of several major sects, and too old to play the junior, so Tian Boguang was just right.
"Li Yitong, come and try." Seeing Zhang Mingen still putting on makeup, director Lu Yang named newcomer Li Yitong.
Slightly nervous, Li Yitong took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes into a crescent moon and smiled sweetly, ready to face the challenge.
"You play the role of a girl who is in love for the first time and sees her rich and handsome lover. It's okay. Just pretend that Fang Jing is a rich and handsome man, and his lines are Xiao Linzi."
"Pfft! Hahaha..."
Li Yitong did not laugh, but Ying Haoming smiled. At this moment, Fang Jing was wearing slippers and flowery pants. He had stayed up late for who knows how many days, his hair was greasy, and he had no trace of being tall, handsome or rich.
"Xiao Linzi!"
"Say it like a widow."
"Xiao Linzi!"
"Your husband and your father have turned against each other. He doesn't like you at all. He married you just for money."
"Xiao Linzi?"
"It's okay, just so-so!" Lu Yang nodded and said to Fang Jing beside him.
Lu Yang was being polite to give a so-so evaluation. Li Yitong did not come from a major, and he did not have a long acting career. He had never played a role with many roles, and he could not speak of high acting skills.
That is to say, this time I play the silly and sweet Yue Linshan, so she only needs to have a pretty and cute image.
"You play Yue Linshan." Fang nodded. It was almost as he expected. Li Yitong has not grown up yet. If he works hard, he should be ready after a few movies.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang!"
Looking at Zhang Mingen who had put on makeup, Fang Jing waved his hand and asked him to start.
Since the popularity of Lao Jiumen, Zhang Mingen has taken on several dramas, and his schedule in the second half of the year is tight, so he is destined to not be able to play an important role in Swordsman, and can only make guest appearances.
There is no such thing as playing games, and Fang Jing doesn't even dare to play games.
It's okay to play an ordinary role, and it's acceptable to work in a drama. After all, there aren't many roles, but it's not okay to play the leading role.
The lines I was given to Linghu Chong before were just to see if they were suitable. If so, I would use my own people and let him handle the outside scenes.
Now it seems that I can't do it.
A few minutes later, Fang Jing put down his pen, raised his head and said, "How about you play the role of a famous murderer?"
"Who plays the leading role?" Seeing that Fang Jing seemed to be leaving, Lu Yang asked.
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet! Let's go out and find a time for an interview."
"Then what are you playing?"
"Lin Pingzhi, the eunuch!"
"Don't you want to play Linghu Chong?"
"No acting!"
There are too many things to do in the second half of the year, including being on a singer's show and working on a movie, and Fang Jing can't manage his schedule.
Besides, compared to the bad good guy Linghu Chong, he prefers Lin Pingzhi, who enjoys grudges and will retaliate whenever he wants.
