Chapter 198 'The Great Dyeing Workshop' and 'The Magician Doctor Xilaile'
The play "Da Ranfang" actually appeared in the Shanhe Screenwriting Department very early.
If Zuo Le remembers correctly, it appeared in his Goldfinger player together with "Crossing Guandong".
At that time, Zuo Le wanted to make a real drama, but he was torn between the two dramas for a long time before finally choosing "Crossing Guandong", which he liked better.
Originally, Zuo Le planned to film the drama "Da Ranfang" after filming "Enter Guandong", but a certain fat man forcibly changed the outline, and the drama was delayed.
Now Zuo Le has a new project in hand. He plans to finish filming "Magic Phone" and start filming next year, so he doesn't plan to film "The Great Dyeing Shop" himself.
Kong Sheng didn't know where he got the news, so he came looking for it after smelling it.
In fact, Kong Sheng has been thinking about "Da Ranfang" for more than a day or two. He had been eyeing this drama as early as when he was filming the first part of "Serious Case Group Six".
But at that time, Lao Gao and Xue Jun were also interested in getting involved in the drama, and Zuo Le was interested in filming it himself.
After much deliberation, Kong Sheng finally settled for the next best thing and chose the realistic theme "Don't Talk to Strangers" that he liked better.
However, now, Zuo Le is not planning to film "The Great Dyestuff" personally, Gao Xinjian has chosen "Seven Swords 2", and Kong Sheng's two biggest competitors have withdrawn.
There was only Xue Jun left, who could not pose any threat to him for the time being. Kong Sheng made a prompt decision and ran over to "negotiate" with Zuo Le.
It doesn't matter if you don't have time to take pictures now. Just like Gao Xinjian, take the project into your hands first.
…………
Different from "Seven Swords 2", Zuo Le planned not to film "Seven Swords 2" early on, but in "The Great Dying House", he actually still had some hesitation in his heart.
Kong Sheng came to "rob", but Zuo Le was still a little reluctant to give up.
However, after much thought, Zuo Le decided to give "Da Ranfang" to Kong Sheng.
When the boss asked for a bowl of water, Gao Xinjian took the big IP sequel "Seven Swords 2". Kong Sheng, who had just made a great contribution to the company, wanted "The Great Dyeing House" which he did not film. If he refused, he would be a bit jealous.
The general's face is lost.
That's all, bear the pain and let go of love.
Zuo Le took out the script of "The Great Dyestuff" from the safe, handed it to Kong Sheng solemnly, and then half-warned and half-exhorted.
"Lao Kong, this drama is no less important than "Crossing Guandong" in my heart. If you fail, I will never be done with you."
"Don't worry, if you can't take the picture well, I'll come back and see you."
Kong Sheng excitedly took the script, opened a few pages, looked at Chen Liuzi on it, and immediately issued a military order.
"I want you to have a clear head. You take the script and shoot it well. Didn't Wang Qian help you in "Serious Case Group 2"? You just need to spare some energy to thoroughly understand the script.
Lao Kong, don't take it seriously. It's difficult to shoot serious dramas in this era. If you can't grasp the pulse accurately, the drama will appear frivolous, and no matter how good the script is, it will be ruined."
Zuo Le solemnly warned, and Kong Sheng did not dare to neglect, nodded in agreement, and then asked: "You are good at writing the script. You should have a character candidate in mind, right?"
"I have a few ideas."
Zuo Le was not modest either. He started by talking about the male protagonist: "Chen Liuzi, I am more optimistic about Hou Yong and Fu Dalong."
Having said that, Zuo Le took the initiative to explain: "'The Great Random' is different from 'Into the Guandong'. 'Into the Guandong' also has Zhu Chuanwu's line, while in 'The Great Antique' all the scenes are played by Chen Liuzi alone.
This role directly determines the success of the show, so we have to find an actor who can hold the show.
Hou Yong is a well-known veteran actor in the industry. He has been nominated for Golden Phoenix and Golden Dragon Best Actors. Although he did not win the award, his acting skills are recognized by the industry.
Not to mention Fu Dalong, who won the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Actor and is a very good actor. When I wrote the script, he was the first person I thought of.
Later, I felt that Hou Yong is also good. I have been struggling with who to choose between the two. Now the difficult problem is left to you. I agree with whoever you choose."
Zuo Le looked relieved, which made Kong Sheng smile bitterly. He had read the script of "The Big Dye House" and the two actors Zuo Le mentioned were really suitable. He was also a little confused.
Zuo Le ignored Kong Sheng, who was weighing the pros and cons of the two actors in his mind, and continued: "Lu Jiaju is a affectionate and righteous playboy. I personally recommend Sha Yi, but he may not have time, you can ask him.
If Sha Yi doesn't play the role, Cen Kun, the newcomer in our company, can also do it. Well, this kid has some concerns about playing a villain, but although Lu Jiaju is a scumbag, he is essentially decent, so there should be no problem."
Of course I knew Sha Yi and Kong Sheng, but Cen Kun, a newcomer, really didn't have much of an impression. He silently remembered his name in his heart, and then asked again.
"Zhou Caiqin, Shen Yuanyi, Zhao Dongchu, Fujii, what do you think?"
"Zhou Caiqin is similar in age to Chen Liuzi, so I think Niu Ping and Shen Yuanyi can be cast as a simpler, misguided female student.
Our company's female artists Jiajia, Miaomiao, Yin Li, and Song Jia can all act. By the way, the company has signed a new actress named Mao Tong, and her acting skills are also good.
As for Zhao Dongchu, his character design is good, but his role is too small. If you can trick Yu Entai into the group, you can let him come. If you can't trick him, you can use Guo Jinfei and Zhang Ze.
Fujii, just use Yong Ken. In recent years, except for "Family with Children", he has basically been a guest star or supporting role in the company's dramas. It's time to praise him."
Zuo Le felt a little guilty when he thought of Lin Yongjian, who had not performed well except for Hu Yitong since he came to Shanhe.
This is the company's first official artist. Gao Xinjian, who came earlier than him, has more work as a director, but even so, Xia Donghai is much more popular than Hu Yitong.
It was also Lin Yongjian who was too low-key and became more popular than the people in his company later. He also kept silent and kept busy with his work. Later, even Zuo Le himself forgot about him.
Looking back now, Zuo Le really wanted to give Lin Yongjian more compensation. He could give him a try as the villain of "Seven Swords 2", Tenrou Monsanuro, and he could also give him a main role in his new drama next year.
Chu Yunfei has chosen Zhang Bei, Zhao Gang is not suitable, Iron Triangle is fine, but who should he play...
"Chairman...Chairman."
Kong Sheng pulled the distracted Zuo Le back: "I remember everything you just said. Do you have anything to explain about the other characters?"
"No need, there are not many roles left, you can make up your own mind. If there are roles suitable for newcomers or old friends in our company, give them priority," Zuo Le said.
"I see."
Kong Sheng nodded: "I will take some time to meet these actors, and then I will report to you after confirming the candidates."
"OK."
Zuo Le nodded, Kong Sheng stood up and said goodbye. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xue Jun who was about to knock on the door. The three people inside and outside the door were stunned. Zuo Le gave a bitter smile.
Another debt collector...
Letting Kong Sheng go first, Zuo Le motioned for Xue Jun to sit down, and before he could speak, he turned around and took out a script from the safe.
"I've already prepared it for you. It's a costume drama, and it's a good time for you to challenge other themes besides sitcoms."
"Thank you, Chairman."
Xue Jun took the notebook with a smile on his face, and there were five big characters written on it - "Xilaile, the Miracle Doctor".
