Deng Chao's acting career before this was quite smooth. He started filming in his sophomore year and starred in his first TV series, which was broadcast on CCTV 8.
In his junior year, he starred in the sitcom "Happy Youth" directed by Ying Da, but the copyright was bought out by Warner Bros. and was banned in China.
During my junior and senior years, I successively made guest appearances in sitcoms such as "The Idle Sister Ma" and "Northeast Family" directed by Yingda. In my senior year, I also starred in a comedy-romance TV movie.
It was originally developed along the path of comedy, but after being signed by Oriental Pearl, starring in "The Young Emperor" became popular, and he began to become a professional emperor, playing roles in Zhengde, Chongzhen, Shunzhi and Kangxi.
A small company like Oriental Pearl finally managed to bring out a popular actor, so it basically put all its resources on Deng Chao. The year before last, five TV series were launched, four of which featured male leads, and the one with the fewest roles was "The World's No. 1"
one".
However, this also led to the uneven quality of the TV series produced. If Gao Xixi, a fellow countryman and alumnus, had not given him a hand and asked him to star in "Happiness is Like a Flower", I am afraid that half of it would have been lost.
In a small company, it is basically hopeless if it is half cold.
In other words, it relied on Deng Chao to make money. Oriental Pearl caught Deng Chao alone and worked hard, accepting any film, any advertisement, and any commercial show for money.
In desperation, Deng Chaocai began to cross the Oriental Pearl Tower and take over the drama privately.
This also led to a complete falling out between the two parties. Deng Chao even knew that Oriental Pearl was planning to sue him.
But he didn't care. He knew about Oriental Pearl's dirty tricks. His junior sister, Qin Li, who starred with him in "Young Bao Qingtian 3" and played the female lead Xiaoman, was also signed to Oriental Pearl and was
A senior executive of the company targeted her, but the girl didn't want to, so she was immediately hidden.
If two teachers from Renyi hadn't discovered him and acted in several heavyweight dramas, his acting career would have been cut off.
Exploitation, hiding, suing for breach of contract, that's all.
After leaving the big trap of Oriental Pearl, I will join Huayang when the contract expires.
Although the other party first offered the second male lead in "Assembly" and the first male lead in "Li Mi's Conjecture" as a sign of sincerity, Deng Chao would not naively think that the other party would fully praise him.
After all, there is Wang Xiaoming here, and Zhong Shuai and Liu Heng jointly recommended him to star in "Assembly Number". Ma Xiaogang is already a little unhappy. He will not target Zhong Shuai and Liu Heng, and can only bear Ma Xiaogang's resentment himself.
I guess I won't be able to get roles in Ma Xiaogang's movies in the future. There is also great competition within Huayang. I still value Li Qian's movie very much.
After all, the "Jaws" broadcast on the Internet has been watched by millions of people, and the three major companies also recognize his abilities and want to win over him.
After reading the script carefully, Deng Chao was slightly surprised.
I originally thought that Li Qian said at the beginning that the starring roles were a father and son, and that this would be a more literary film, but I didn't expect it to be a suspenseful crime film.
The story is very novel and it is still a commercial movie, which is rare.
A serious commercial movie actor, this is a very rare role.
Although "Li Mi's Conjecture" is also a commercial film and he is also the male lead, Zhou Xun is the only protagonist.
Thinking of "Li Mi's Conjecture" that he had just received, Deng Chao was afraid that the schedules of the two movies would conflict, so he asked about the filming days.
"The shooting will almost start in a month, and it will probably take 40 days."
For a scene with two protagonists, the scenes are almost 50/50, but the two of them will not appear at the same time until the end, so in theory, a schedule of more than 20 days for one person is enough.
However, the over-the-top shots haven't been written yet, and the filming schedule hasn't been made yet, so it's not yet certain.
It's August 4th now, and "The Difficult Love of Diamonds" will be filmed in half a month. "Black Hole Frequency" will start filming in early September and wrap up in mid-October.
It just so happens that "Li Mi's Conjecture" will start filming around the end of October.
There would be no conflict in schedules, so Deng Chao agreed without much thought.
"That's no problem, I'll take this role."
Li Qian is not surprised. In the current market, there is no shortage of actors in movies, and actors cannot get decent movies.
"Brother Chao, please take some time to come to the capital in the next two days. Another male lead's audition requires your cooperation. By the way, the contract will be signed by then."
"An audition for the role of father?"
Deng Chao was a little confused as to what this had to do with him.
Li Qian explained, "Although your two characters only appear together at the end, when you contact each other through the radio station, you will be in the same frame."
"Father twenty years ago and son twenty years later, you were not face to face when talking on the phone, but after editing, on the big screen, you each occupied half of the screen. This kind of dialogue that spans time and space makes the effect more obvious.
"
"You, father and son, can't be too inconsistent at this time, because on the screen, in the eyes of the audience, you are face to face, and you want the audience to feel the father-son affection between you."
"If the audition relies solely on appearance, you'll have to rely on feeling to be sure."
It feels like a very strange thing. For two people of about the same age to perform the kind of father-son relationship, it's not just about acting or appearance.
"So, do you want me to find a father for myself?"
When Deng Chao thought about the audition, he had to play father and son with five, six, or even more actors until he found a suitable person to be his father, and his expression was a little strange.
Find your own father?
There seems to be nothing wrong with this logic.
Li Qian couldn't help laughing and said, "You can say that."
"This audition is really my first experience."
As he said this, Deng Chao himself couldn't help but laugh.
Deng Chao still had to film, so Li Qian didn't stay in Dalian for long and flew back to the capital in the evening.
Continue to select actors. Anyway, Li Qian asked Guang Xian to send them audition invitations to those who met the requirements.
The response is also very fast. Not everyone is willing to come, and there may not always be a schedule, but most of them will still come.
However, it would take a few days, and Deng Chao was still filming. If he left suddenly, the plans of the entire crew would change, and there would be no time to adjust the plan.
Li Qian wrote the storyboard first, found other supporting actors, and looked at the construction of the studio in Huairou.
On August 7, Li Qian came to the Capital Airport to pick him up.
After 25 days, I met Tong Liya again.
At the exit, when he saw Tong Liya coming out, Li Qian waved his hand from a distance.
"Yaya."
"Li Qian!"
Tong Liya saw Li Qian in the crowd at a glance, and trotted over with some surprise, and naturally took Li Qian's arm.
He smiled and showed two pear dimples, staring straight at Li Qian.
"Why did you come to pick me up? Aren't you busy preparing for a new movie?"
Li Qian smiled and took her suitcase, "It's okay. I'm busy looking for Deng Chao's father."
